Chapter 362: They are all descendants of the Zhu family

"Zhu Yousong must get rid of the emperor and the era name, which is a prerequisite;

Secondly, the officials, generals and titles of the puppet emperor are ineffective and will not be recognized by the imperial court, but Li Wanchang and other Nanjing guards and important officials will be temporarily promoted to the post of general soldier, and they will still command the Nanjing garrison, and the specific disposition will also wait for the saint to fall;

Moreover, the original King Fu is the head of the clan rebellion, Zhu Yousong thought that the safety of the Ming court chose to surrender and go to the emperor, I believe that the saint naturally knows in his heart, before the disposition of the court is not issued, Zhu Yousong can only be called the son of the king of Fu, in addition, the official has reason to believe that the saint does not kill him, and he can die of old age in Fengyang when he thinks of the friendship of the clan;

General Mao, you might be in charge of Zhu Yousong? ”

A few days ago, the reason was acceptable, except for the old death of Fengyang, but now Nanjing is indeed in danger, once Chen Cao's army arrives, Nanjing will definitely not be able to hold it.

I saw Mao Shi clenching his fists: "The conditions are acceptable, please Lord Yang to tell the original words of the Shengshangfu Wang's son: 'Everyone is a descendant of the Zhu family, and it is a necessary condition to deal with national thieves, which is also the original intention of Emperor Taizu to divide the heirs'..."

Yang He was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Go quickly, when the old man receives the news of Zhu Yousong's abdication, you will open the big and small Ande Gate and let Li Wanchang answer outside the city." ”

Mao Shi saluted: "The last general knows, please retire..."

Obviously, Zhu Yousong is also tired, and it is common for emperors to be difficult to do, but compared to Liu He, he has been an emperor for at least a much longer time than Liu He.

In June of the third year of Chongde, Zhu Yousong announced his abdication, returned to Beijing, proclaimed himself King Fu, and announced the crime of rebellion against Chen Cao, which made the kings of the world rise to crusade.

Early the next morning, Yang He ordered He Huchen's troops to enter Nanjing City from Andemen to assist in guarding the inner city, and ordered Yang Qi's troops to enter Nanjing from Fengtai Gate and drive directly to Qilin Gate to assist in guarding; After Wang Ziyong's troops entered Nanjing, he went to Jubao Mountain to encircle and suppress the Liang rebel army trapped on the mountain; In addition, the Tang clan soldiers under Zhu Yujian's department entered Nanjing through the Jiangdong Gate.

In front of Fengtian Gate, Yang He met Zhu Yousong, who had been the emperor for nearly three years.

"Lord Yang..."

Zhu Yousong is not afraid of Yang He at all, this clan who chose to surrender seems to have been forced to a dead end before choosing to surrender.

"Fu Wang... The Son..."

Li Wanchang was beside Yang He, and he didn't say anything when he saw this, but Sun Dewen, the eunuch next to Zhu Yousong, scolded: "What is the prince of the blessed king, this is His Royal Highness the blessed king, Yang He, you are the courtier of the Zhu family, and you still don't salute when you see His Royal Highness?" ”

The generals around Yang He were a little annoyed, seeing this, Yang He was also interested, so he gave his hand: "Your Highness, the lower official is rude..."

After the surrender, Yang He also saw it for the first time to see this kind of cow.

"His Royal Highness has a special identity, and the lower officials think that His Highness is still temporarily living somewhere, waiting for the Holy Lord's fate."

Zhu Yousong's face turned cold, and then turned red: "If the royal brother of this king wants to send down this king, it will chill the hearts of the Zhu family clan in the world, Chen Cao has not been eliminated, presumably he will not do such a foolish thing as a relative and an enemy..."

"Your Highness is cautious..."

After Yang He finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhu Yousong to speak, and said: "Come on, please go down and live..."

After speaking, Yang He arched his hand towards the original Nanjing Sixth Department officials who were unwilling to 'rebel' against the Chongde Dynasty who were summoned in front of the Fengtian Gate: "Fellow colleagues in Nanjing, you have not been a puppet dynasty official, the old man is deeply pleased, and thinks that there are still loyal people in the south of the country, and now King Fu... Ahem, the prince of King Fu returned to Beijing, and the old man, as the governor of the five provinces, has achieved the achievement of recovering Nanjing, as for your official positions, and wait for Your Majesty's will. ”

"Where's Scofa?"

"I heard that I was taken away by the prince of Fuwang."

..

Xiao Yongguang, the commander of the 21st Division of the Longwu Army, had just dismounted, and was greeted by a group of knights, led by Hou Puxiang of Jinshan.

Xiao Yongguang gave a military salute with his hands and eyebrows, and Pu Xiang saw the military salute of the Liang Domain, so he clenched his fists: "Which general is the honorable driver?" ”

"Xiao Yongguang, commander of the 21st Division of the Longwu Army, who is Your Excellency?"

"A certain is Jinshan Hou Puxiang."

Xiao Yongguang immediately stood in awe when he heard this, and saluted again: "It turned out to be the Marquis of Jinshan in person, before I set off, the prince had already mentioned that he would protect several important nobles after entering Nanjing, since the Marquis of Jinshan was out of Nanjing City, my task would be easier." ”

Pu Xiang's face was serious: "Master Xiao has worked hard, when Ben Hou left Nanjing, Yang He's army had already entered Nanjing City, and Zhu Yousong abdicated. ”

Xiao Yongguang took a deep breath, and then glanced at the deputy division commander and political commissar behind him: "In this way, Nanjing has fallen into the hands of Yang He, I don't know what happened to the people in the Qianguo Mansion?" ”

Saying that, Xiao Yongguang glanced at the people behind Pu Xiang, the long knives in their hands were all bloodstained, and they obviously experienced a fight when they went out of the city.

Pu Xiang frowned: "Ben Hou was surrounded, experienced a fight, and when he rushed out of the Qilin Gate, he didn't receive news from Mu Qilin's side. ”

Xiao Yongguang frowned, and then immediately arranged: "The whole army will set off at the Qilin Gate immediately, and after arriving, they will immediately launch an attack on the Qilin Gate." As he spoke, he saluted to Pu Xiang: "Marquis of Jinshan, my task is to capture the Qilin Gate, and there will be reinforcements arriving in the future. ”

Pu Xiang looked at the muskets and the soldiers marching silently, and his confidence in his heart rose sharply: "Commander Xiao, Ben Hou knows the geography of Nanjing, and let Ben Hou accompany him. ”

.

When Yang Qi led the army to arrive at the Qilin Gate, a fierce battle had broken out at the city gate, and the original defenders were already weak, otherwise they would not have let Pu Xiang have a chance to rush out of the Qilin Gate.

When Xiao Yongguang arrived at Qilin Gate under the leadership of Pu Xiang, the loose defenders were still confused, and Xiao Yongguang, who was greatly gratified, immediately ordered an offensive.

Yang Qi was shocked in his heart, and immediately called for his cavalry to rush to the city gate to intercept him.

"Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang..."

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

The platoon of guns crackled, and the defeated defenders were already like frightened birds when the sappers blew open the city gates, just like the guards scattered and fled when they saw the Jurchen Tartars.

Can't stop it at all...

Yang Qi's command is still coming, and at this moment, there are less than 10,000 people coming, and there are only more than 1,000 cavalry: "Rush over, let the Zuo Xie guerrillas immediately go to block the door and transfer the muskets." ”

"Rushed in... The Liang army rushed in..."

Pu Xiang took the lead in returning to Nanjing City, and the moment he rushed into the Qilin Gate, he had the illusion that the ancestors followed Xu Da to rush into the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

The musketeers who had arrived to reinforce them opened fire fiercely at the Longwu soldiers who had already entered the city, and if it weren't for Pu Xiang's family, he would have been shot and dismounted.

Xiao Yongguang flicked his horsewhip, no matter how fierce the battle in front of him was, he laughed twice and then looked at his deputy and said: "Lao Zhang, you lead people to occupy the city gate, with the Qilin Gate, hehe...

Lao Tzu wants to see if Chen Jiming dares to compete with Lao Tzu. ”

Chen Jiming, the commander of the 22nd Division, was still ten miles away from Qilin Gate at this moment, but there were signal soldiers from the 21st Division along the way, and he already knew about Xiao Yongguang's going to seize Qilin Gate.

"Order, speed up the horse, and rush to the Qilin Gate for reinforcements."

An hour after the battle began, Yang Qi's subordinates retreated one after another, although they held flintlock pistols in their hands, but they still couldn't bear it under the blow of most of the Kangxing rifles of the 21st Division, not to mention that there was a brigade of the 21st Division equipped with flintlock rifles when charging, using honest platoon gun combat methods, and marching forward without fear of death, and all the troops of the Left Association under Yang Qi were defeated.

"What's next?"

Yang Qi was riding on a war horse, and at this moment he was getting farther and farther away from the Qilin Gate, and he was two miles away.

"Back to the commander, I have already notified the Inspector, and our department has already rushed to the follow-up, and the Inspector has ordered the Tang Domain's soldiers to come to reinforcements."

50,000 people fighting 18,000 people, it is still a blocking battle, if it can't be defeated, it is reasonable, after all, the equipment of the soldiers of the Liang Domain is not comparable to them.

But Yang Qi is also a person who has experienced the war, and at this moment, when he heard that the soldiers of the Tang Domain were coming to reinforce him, he nodded and said: "Go and tell the Inspector again, just say that the reinforcements of the Liang Rebellion are likely to arrive quickly, and the soldiers of the Tang Domain are not enough, and they need to continue to reinforce, please transfer the battalion to support." ”

"Handsome..."

The guerrilla of the Left Association was covered with black ashes, and his right arm was bleeding: "Our department has been defeated, there is not much left, and the city gate has been lost." ”

"Handsome..."

A herald came on horseback: "Many members of the Liang rebel army have mounted their horses and are breaking through to our right flank. ”

Yang Qi frowned, he forced himself to calm down: "No, it is rumored that the army of Liang Rebellion never trains cavalry combat, they are going to transfer. ”

Yang Qi raised his head: "Their purpose should be to rescue the Liang rebel army trapped on Jubao Mountain. ”

A staff general came up: "Dashuai, should we follow immediately?" ”

Yang Qi turned his head to look at the soldiers who were coming behind him, and said: "Order the cavalry battalion to rush to the upper bridge immediately, and also, let the Tang clan soldiers who are rushing to go to the upper bridge to set up defenses, and if necessary, it is also feasible to destroy the upper bridge." ”

"Dashuai, what about us?"

Yang Qi let out a sigh: "Let's stick to it here and delay their march." ”

.

A fast horse came and stopped in front of Chen Cao: "Lord Wang, Master Xiao and Master Chen have attacked the Qilin Gate. ”

Chen Cao turned his head to look at Tang Kainian: "Xiao Yongguang is okay." ”

"That person is a man who is not stingy, and he often competes with Chen Jiming, but the casualties of the 21st Division have always been relatively high."

"Take note of him first," Chen Cao said and whipped his whip: "Speed up, Song Che is still waiting for us..."
