Chapter 663: Three-Foot Qi Wall (1st Shift)
Wang Chengen supervised the division, and 200,000 Ming troops forcibly crossed the Yangtze River under the leadership of generals Huang Degong and Ma Bao.
The city of Nanjing is a tiger with a dragon plate, and the city is high and deep.
At this time, there were nearly 100,000 troops in the city to defend, and the specific generals who defended the city were Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, etc., don't look at them as earls, and they once shocked the four towns in Jiangbei, but at this time they all had to listen to Zhao Zhilong, the garrison of Nanjing.
Because Zhao Zhilong is not an ordinary city garrison, this person is noble as Xincheng Bo, he is the same as Liu Kongzhao, the sincerity of Bo, this is a hereditary title.
His ancestor Zhao Yi was once a martyr of Jingnan, and was crowned as Xinchengbo by Zhu Di, the Emperor of Hongwu, and was hereditary and passed on to his generation as the 10th generation.
And that Chongzhen has high hopes for Zhao Zhilong.
A few years ago, the royal ancestral graves of the Zhu family were dug up, and Lao Fuwang, who was Zhu Yousong's father, was boiled by Li Zicheng.
Bandits were rampant in the south, and the defense of Nanjing was weak, and after the recommendation of his ministers, Chongzhen handed over the defense of Nanjing to three people.
The first is the Ming Dynasty's characteristic eunuch, Han Zanzhou, the Nanjing garrison eunuch. The second is this Zhao Zhilong, and the third is Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department.
Moreover, Chongzhen had high hopes for this Zhao Zhilong, and once summoned him separately and treated him with the etiquette of a prince.
"Staying in the capital is fundamental, I have simplified the use of two people, one is the celebrant eunuch Han Zanzhou, this person is loyal and diligent, and he is enough to be a garrison; One is that the history of the military department is still the law, I have not met him, but people are arguing about his material, and I have also won it. Today, I have no worries. Ran Zan Zhou swept away the long ears, but the law started from a lonely cold. If the Qing is in solidarity with the country, he is more different from the second minister, and he will be dedicated to his knowledge, and the deputy will appoint him."
These are the exact words of that Chongzhen.
It can be seen from this that Emperor Chongzhen has high hopes for Zhao Zhilong. It can be said that the generals and officials who defended Nanjing City, the nobles of the imperial court, and Zhao Zhilong was the boss.
In the matter of defending Nanjing, even Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, had to listen to Zhao Zhilong. Not to mention Shi Kefa and Han Zanzhou, Ma Shiying has to go to the back row.
However, Zhao Zhilong has a negative grace, in history, when the Manchu Dynasty killed him, Zhao Zhilong took the real Nanjing civil and military officials and court nobles to change the banner and became the example of the surrender of the Manchu Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhao Zhilong's status is very prominent in Nanjing, which is of course arranged in the order of that Chongzhen's honor.
But now it has changed, the power of Nanjing has fallen into the hands of Ma Shiying's father and son, although his son Ma Luan is dead, but Ma Shiying is still in power.
Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng firmly held power in Nanjing. Whether it is a eunuch, a military secretary, or a court minister, these counts, princes, civil and military generals, all have to listen to Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng.
Otherwise, they will have to be punished, like Lu Daqi, Jiang Riguang and Gao Hongtu, the so-called three sages of the Southern Ming Dynasty have been excluded from the court by Ma Shiying, some have gone home, some have been imprisoned, including the current leader of the Donglin Party, Qian Qianyi, has also fallen to Ma Shiying.
Qian Qianyi: The old donkey eats tender grass and his personality has changed.
To be precise, now the Southern Ming Dynasty has the surname Ma, and Zhu Yousong is an authentic puppet.
Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
However, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty is still alive, and the army of 200,000 has reached the city of Nanjing, and Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng can only cooperate with the prince to order the princes.
For the sake of their political interests, these rebellious ministers and thieves did not hesitate to treat the prince as the emperor, and pulled Zhu Yousong to confront Daming Chongzhen.
The Ming army approached the city, and Zhao Zhilong divided the troops and sent generals as a commander.
Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Zhu Guobi, Ruan Dacheng, Han Zanzhou, Shi Kefa, Qian Qianyi, Gao Qiqian and so on. These leaders of Nanjing are here, including civil and military, eunuchs, and the Donglin Party.
Now Ma Shiying and Liu Kongzhao, the sincerity uncle, took 5,000 soldiers and horses, and pulled the cannons to the Purple Mountain to carry out their poisonous schemes.
Therefore, the defense of Nanjing was handed over to these people, and now Ruan Dacheng is the supervisor, and he and Ma Shiying are in the same party, so this one who writes the script is the leader.
Han Zan Zhou strongly advocated to vote for the imperial court
Descending, the Ming Dynasty did not die, Emperor Chongzhen is alive, and there is a Nanming to say? And expose the ugly faces of these people in public.
The current Ming court is the emperor's new clothes, and they all know what is going on, but they are unwilling to say it thoroughly.
But Han Chan-joo now plays the role of that little boy.
This aroused public anger, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Ruan Dacheng, Zhu Guobi, and Qian Qianyi accused Han Zanzhou of not knowing right and wrong, and loyal women did not distinguish between them, confusing the public, and causing chaos in the court......
With this large number of hats, even Shi Kefa, who supported Han Zanzhou, didn't dare to speak.
What's even more hateful is that Gao Qiqian, who is also a trusted eunuch in the Ming court, not only did not support Han Zanzhou, but fell into the ground, saying that Han Zanzhou harbored evil intentions.
The Ming army began to attack the city, and these generals, civil and military heroes, led the soldiers to defend one side, and personally climbed to the head of the city to engage the Ming army.
The battle was very tragic, the shouts shook the sky, and the blood flowed and drifted.
Han Zanzhou returned to his eunuch's room, crying and kowtowing three times in the direction of Beijing, "Your Majesty, the old slave has the grace of God, these rebellious ministers and thieves are really hateful, they are a blatant rebellion, but unfortunately the old slave is powerless...... The monarch is not a monarch or a minister...... The old slave will ...... go."
Then Han Zanzhou hung himself on the beam and walked the old path of Chongzhen......
When the news came out, most of the civil and military officials in Nanjing were happy, especially Gao Qiqian, who replaced Han Zanzhou's position this time.
Shi Kefa dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, his military secretary had already been hollowed out, and even Gao Jie and Huang Degong couldn't restrain him, and only by giving people benefits could he mediate the dispute between the two armies, and now he has become a cowardly and incompetent puppet.
I want to mediate the Ming Dynasty and not fight the Ming Dynasty, but these people are not only warlords, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing are not enough, Zhao Zhilong, Ruan Dacheng, Zhu Guobi, no one urinates his pot, he can't mediate at all.
Shi Kefa had the intention to surrender to the Ming Emperor, but he didn't dare, Han Zanzhou was a lesson from the past, and he could only be led by the nose.
The rumbling cannons of Nanjing City have reached Bauhinia Mountain.
Wangxiang Terrace under the North Peak.
At this time, Chongzhen was still competing with Master Hami, the leader of the Nanhai faction, and he was doing it with three palms.
Different from the first palm, Chongzhen's palm is not smashing, it is a flat push, and it uses the Northern Shengong.
The huge palm force formed a Tai Chi ball-shaped qi wave, which rotated and roared and crushed over.
Three feet away from Master Hami, the wall reappeared.
And this wall is no longer a ceiling-like shape across his head, but forms a partition between Master Hami and Chongzhen.
At this time, the huge Tai Chi ball hit this wall.
There was a boom, and the movement was almost like an explosion of dynamite. The giant spherical wave of qi disappeared and dispersed into a cloud of qi.
The wall was hit hard and collapsed......
