After Ma Shiying fled back to the Cabinet Office in embarrassment, he knew that the tide was over.

Wu Shen's martial arts conference did not achieve its goal, and his poisonous plan to bombard Wangxiangtai to eliminate Chongzhen and these martial arts people did not succeed.

Although Nanjing City is impregnable, defended by 100,000 troops, Nanjing City is now a lonely city, and the outside is overwhelming Ming troops, plus there are martial arts masters such as Chongzhen in the city to respond.

No matter how strong the fortress is, it is afraid to break through from the inside.

And Ma Shiying knew that Chongzhen would definitely lead these martial arts masters from various sects and factions to settle accounts with him.

In front of these martial arts masters, ordinary soldiers are simply ant soldiers. Now there are no martial arts masters around him, the son Ma Luan he relied on is dead, and the fate of Wu Shen and the other martial arts masters of various sects invited is unknown.

The think-tank Liu Kongzhao is also dead now.

Breaking a city is a matter of day.

Of course, Ma Shiying can't wait for death here.

Therefore, he discussed with Ruan Dacheng that he had to abandon the city and flee, where to flee?

Now the four towns in Jiangbei have existed in name only, and only one Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing remain, and the two warlords together only have 20,000 or 30,000 horses.

Although it is also a force to be reckoned with, it is difficult to take on a big responsibility in front of Chongzhen's hundreds of thousands of troops. In particular, the Yangtze River natural hazard has been broken through by Chongzhen's army.

The most powerful warlord who is closer to them is Zuo Liangyu in Wuhan.

After the two agreed, they decided to defect to Zuo Liangyu in Wuhan. Although the two of them were not on good terms with Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu was picked up by Hou Sui, a member of the Donglin Party, and Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng hated the Donglin Party to the core.

But Zuo Liangyu is still a courtier of the Southern Ming Dynasty after all, a few days ago Emperor Hongguang had crowned Zuo Liangyu as the Marquis of Ningnan, before Chongzhen crowned him as Ningnan Bo, from the Bo to the Hou of course gave birth to a grid, and his son Zuo Mengeng was crowned as the general of the Ping Thief, and later at the suggestion of Ma Shiying, he was crowned the crown prince Taibao.

Ma Shiying bribed Zuo Liangyu and his son with *** Houlu, and asked them to send troops to the east to Nanjing Qinwang to level the thieves.

The thief Ma Shiying said in their mouths was, of course, Chongzhen, who regarded Chongzhen as a puppet emperor and his army as a thief army.

Zuo Liangyu also agreed to send troops, but he didn't see their army for a long time.

Now that the city of Nanjing is no longer safe, Ma Shiying decided to take refuge in Wuhan. He and Ruan Dacheng's wishful thinking was to bring Emperor Hongguang and control Zuo Liangyu in the name of Emperor Hongguang when the time came.

After making up their minds, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng went their separate ways.

Let Ruan Dacheng gather his henchmen and generals, draw out the elite soldiers, and prepare to escape.

Ma Shiying carried a sword and broke into the Nanjing Palace with a brocade guard.

The eunuchs often knelt down when they were frightened, and the other little eunuchs were also too frightened to speak.

At this time, Zhu Yousong was still singing and dancing in the palace, leading a group of eunuchs and palace maids, and Hu Lai, who couldn't sleep all night.

After Ma Shiying came in, he first cut down a little eunuch and two palace maids, blood splashed in the palace, and the others screamed in fright, and some hid on the table

Seeing Ma Shiying's appearance, like a killing god possessed, Zhu Yousong's face was also pale with fright, I have given you all the power, everything is up to you, what do you want?

"Aiqing? ......" Zhu Yousong was speechless in fright.

"Your Majesty, the city of Nanjing can no longer be saved." Ma Shiying sneered while carrying the bloody sword.

"Huh? …… How is Aiqing a good ......" Zhu Yousong's fat flesh under the dragon robe trembled.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to panic, there are ministers here to keep Your Majesty safe and sound, but Your Majesty has to be wronged," Ma Shiying said here and gave an order to his subordinates, "Come on, please leave the palace!"

Jin Wei couldn't say anything, and came over a few times to pull and drag the belt rack and drag, and took away the 300-pound Zhu Yousong.

This is to treat the emperor, it is clearly a robbery.

Here, Ruan Dacheng has already gathered Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Zhu Guobi, Baoguo Gong, Zhao Zhilong, Xincheng Bo, etc., together, and ordered them to send elite troops to protect the emperor's retreat in the name of supervising the army.

These generals don't want to fight for a long time, Liu

Liang Zuo and Liu Zeqing are the generals who escaped, and now they are very happy to see that Ma Shiying regards them as confidants.

These generals immediately dispatched 30,000 elite soldiers, of course, all of them were their henchmen, and the remaining 50,000 people and horses, let him continue to defend the city, and keep them strictly secret, otherwise these ghosts mutinied, and they would not be able to escape.

At this time, Ruan Dacheng gave them a terrible and inhumane order, the time has come to be loyal to His Majesty, and all the family members must be killed, so as not to bring them with them.

There is no way for these generals, it is a burden to bring it, and there will be no good fruit if they stay and be caught by Chongzhen, and it is difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety since ancient times.

After finding a good reason for self-deception, Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, Zhao Zhilong, Xincheng Bo, etc., finally gritted their teeth and returned to their homes one after another, killing all their wives and children.

Then go out of the house.

Ma Shiying set up a few cars, stuffed Zhu Yousong into the car, knowing that he couldn't do without women, and picked a few palace maids and a few little eunuchs for him, and the former eunuch Gao Qiqian was in charge of serving the emperor halfway.

As soon as it was dark, Ma Shiying took more than 30,000 horses along with Jinyiwei and ran out of Ximen......

After Ma Shiying left, the task of Shoucheng was handed over to Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

But as soon as Ma Shiying and the others left, Shi Kefa ordered his generals to hang out the white flag and surrender to the Ming army.

At this time, Chongzhen took hundreds of martial arts masters, and he had already killed the head of the city, Shaolin monks, Wudang veterans, beggar gang leaders, as well as the White Lotus Sect, the Heaven and Earth Sect, as if entering the realm of no one, killing people one by one is more ruthless than the other.

These thieves and thieves in the city will be slaughtered flesh and blood, heads rolling, wolves rushing to the pigs......

The wise man hurriedly threw away his knife and gun, knelt on the ground and asked to surrender, and was willing to be a prisoner, so as to save his life.

Chongzhen and the others quickly took control of the North Gate.

At this time, Ma Bao and Huang Degong took the south gate and the east gate, and Shi Kefa led the remaining remnants of the army to surrender at the west gate.

In less than two watches that night, Chongzhen's army took control of the city of Nanjing......

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
