Chapter 1238: The Southeast is boiling
Fortune is important.
Wu Nian asked Li Tianbao to attack and harass the southeast coast, and the strategic goal was accomplished.
As a result, Li Tianbao accidentally attacked the city of Hangzhou. If you are not careful, you will go north to Nanjing.
Li Tianbao and Liu Tianfang had two thousand households, plus Wang Baihui and Yan Changshan, two supernumerary thousand households, they were wrapped in the Chu army prisoners and went to Nanjing in a mighty way.
Along the way, as long as people with eyes saw the banner of the Han army.
Anyone who has ears has heard about it.
The hearts of the people in the entire southeast coastal area are boiling like a pan of oil.
Nanking.
It is the capital of the state of Chu, with a serious palace of eight hundred and yamen. According to the design of the Chu State back then, if the Chu capital was lost, then the troops would be retreated to Nanjing.
And now Nanjing is in danger first.
Could it be that Wu Nian, the king of Han, really has a destiny?
The Chu world is declining, and the Han family is thriving?
Ordinary people also watched the excitement and didn't know what to do. But anyone with a bit of culture can't help but think about it.
Then some people had crooked thoughts, and some people angrily threw themselves into the wave.
People with crooked minds want to defect to the Han army and fight for the dragon's work.
The angry people either went north alone, or organized soldiers and horses to go north to Nanjing.
The city of Nanjing suddenly became the eye of the typhoon.
Morning.
The sky was cloudy and ominous.
The city of Nanjing has been under martial law, and the people are not allowed to enter or leave. Patrolling, standing, and full of stubborn soldiers.
When encountering someone moving in the city, the soldiers couldn't help but stop them and conduct an investigation. Those who do not have official documents will be treated as spies and arrested and imprisoned.
The yamen of the ministry is in the hall.
The main officials of Nanjing gathered together, headed by Wan Chongguo, the official of Nanjing.
He sat on the throne, and the rest of the officials sat separately.
Everyone's faces were ugly.
As the chief officials of the accompanying capital, their rank and treatment are the same as those of the Beijing officials in the Chu capital. But there is little power.
The officials here are either degraded because they are angry with Long Yan, or they are pensioners.
Whether you have the ability or not, you are very idle.
Now there is a catastrophe.
It's like a person sitting at home, but disaster falls from heaven.
"Hey." Wan Chongguo sighed slightly and said: "In Nanjing, the defense of the city wall is much stronger than that of Hangzhou City, so there is no need to talk about the soldiers. ”
"I'm not worried about defending the city of Nanjing."
"Now the question is. What should we do with Zhang Haoyong? ”
The general course of things, they already know. Xun Ze, the governor of Zhejiang, is currently in Nanjing, under house arrest.
The dignified officials of the frontier did not dare to deal with it.
But the little Sipin Guangwei general Zhang Haoyong, they killed if they wanted to.
The question is whether to kill or not to kill.
"Lord Wan said this. Chen Mingzhi came up with a very sound idea. Zhang Haoyong insisted on going his own way, and Xun Xun attacked. As a result, the army was defeated and Hangzhou fell. But he had the face to escape. ”
"He should be killed right away."
Jin Pinggui, the waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, looked angry and said.
"Lord Kim's words are wrong. Although Zhang Haoyong is responsible. But he broke out with his army. These 20,000 or 30,000 troops, except for him and Chen Mingzhi, no third person can do it. He's a general. ”
"The country is very eventful now. The generals have many wine bags and rice bags. It's a pity to kill your own talent. At most, don't let him be the manager in the future. ”
"Besides. Now Zhang Haoyong is still on his way to Nanjing. Are you going to send someone to kill him? He was not allowed to be angry and defected to Li Tianbao. Isn't that pushing one's own talent to the enemy country? ”
The Nanjing Military Department is still polite, with white hair, a withered face, and it looks like half of his body is in the ground, but his spirit is not bad, and he shook his head and said.
"Offered to fight, but was defeated without punishment. Is the law of the dynasty a fictitious reality? ”
"As for how to kill, that's easy. sent someone to tell Zhang Haoyong that when his survival was at stake, the imperial court allowed him to redeem his merits, deceived him into coming to Nanjing, and then beheaded him at the entrance of the vegetable market and seized his military power. ”
Jin Pinggui shook his head violently, looking like he would not kill Zhang Haoyong and would never give up.
"I've said everything I need to say, and I'm not arguing with you. It's up to the people of Wan to decide. Duanli was not interested in arguing with Jin Pinggui, so he waved his hand and said.
"Lord Wan." Jin Pinggui immediately bowed his hand to Wan Chongguo and made a gesture of pleading.
Wan Chongguo smiled bitterly, revealing a difficult color.
That's a real problem.
It's like the two said. It's okay to kill, it's okay not to kill.
After thinking about it for a while, Wan Chongguo felt that what the military department Shangshu Duanli said was more reasonable. The difficulties of the country and the dynasty are precisely the time to employ people.
"To Zhang Haoyong, send someone to reprimand him. A fine of one year. Let him speed up the march and come to Nanjing for defense. ”
"To Chen Mingzhi. Send someone to praise him. Give money and cloth to the army. The specific reward is waiting for the court to decide. ”
When Wan Chongguo said this, when he saw that Jin Pinggui, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, wanted to open his mouth, his face sank, and he said, "Everyone. Now that the national crisis is at hand, we should put aside all differences. Mainly to defend the city of Nanjing. ”
"That's it."
"Yes."
Jin Pinggui had no choice but to give it up with everyone.
..........
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!!" The sound of the water was babbling, and the waves were crashing against the hull of the ship. The "Han" character flag, under the blowing of the river breeze, hunting sounds.
The Han army, advancing by land and water, reached Nanjing.
Li Tianbao asked Liu Tianfang to guard the warships and prisoners, and he led 12 thousand soldiers and horses to the open space south of Nanjing and set up camp.
Li Tianbao led Wang Baihui, Yan Changshan and others to ride out of the city, came to the city, and looked up at the city of Nanjing.
"It is rumored that Nanjing has a king's spirit, and now it looks like it is true. What a majestic city. Li Tianbao looked at it for a long time, showed admiration, and said to the left and right.
Everyone nodded.
How many dynasties built their capitals in Nanjing.
It certainly has a royal spirit.
"It's a pity. I can't take it. Li Tianbao retracted his gaze, changed his words, and said very regretfully.
What a majestic city.
The soldiers on the city are neatly arranged, and the proportion of heavy armor soldiers is quite large, and there is a murderous atmosphere.
is worthy of being a soldier in the capital, but it is much more elite than the soldiers in Zhejiang.
With his little men, it is simply a fool's dream to attack Nanjing City.
"I can't take it down, though. But our purpose of flaunting our might has been achieved. Now the southeast coast is floating in the hearts of the people. ”
Wang Baihui clenched his fists and said with a bright face.
"That's right." Yan Changshan's face was slightly red, and he nodded heavily.
"Hmm." Li Tianbao snorted, and then ordered: "We will stay outside Nanjing for three days. Three days later, the troops were withdrawn. Go back to Zhejiang. ”
"Until the king captures Hebei."
"Yes." Everyone bowed down.
All were in a good mood, and their tasks were exceeded.
Now it's up to the king.
And will the king fail?
When hell freezes over!
