Chapter 366: Turning the world upside down

Outside the guard gate, Yang He was combing through the military information that kept coming out of the city, but after summing it up, he got a little disappointing news.

Nanjing can't hold it...

At this time, a sturdy man in cloth recklessly walked into Yang He's big tent, and before Yang He could ask, he arched his hand and said: "Lord Yang, a certain is the head of the East Factory Wuwen." ”

East Factory?

Yang He was stunned, Chongzhen's first year Dongchang and Jinyiwei were banned at the same time, Chongzhen's four years he heard that the emperor seemed to be reopening Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but this kind of hearsay news he generally laughed off.

"Wu... Shifter? What is the matter with the old man? ”

After Wu Wen clasped his fists and saluted, he said: "Before leaving Beijing, the prince specially instructed that this matter must be explained to Lord Yang in person;

The court of the court and the central government held that Lord Yang had an unshirkable responsibility for conniving at the Tang Prince's dispatch of troops to Nanjing, and His Majesty was furious and had ordered Lord Yang to return to Beijing to report on his work. ”

Yang He was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "Why doesn't the old man know about this?" ”

Wu Wen was also surprised, seeing that Yang He's expression did not look like he was pretending, he gave his hand: "After the eunuch who passed the decree and the fan of Dongchang went south, there was no news, and after more than a month, the Jingshi received the news that the Qincha team was killed by the chaotic soldiers, and His Majesty was furious, thinking that Lord Yang You want to support the army in Nanjing and stand on your own." ”

Yang He was paralyzed, stumbling and almost falling, Wu Wen stepped forward to support him, and then said, "Lord Yang doesn't know about this matter?" I would like to ask about Lord Yang's men. ”

"Impossible, impossible, the old man has already recovered Nanjing, and the sergeant who reported the victory has already gone to Beijing, Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Wu Wen helped Yang He to sit on the handsome seat, and then said: "After Lord Yang's report document went to Beijing, the imperial court thought that this was what Lord Yang should do, but now the court is asking about the disappearance of the messenger, and I am here to ask Lord Yang, what are you going to do..."

Yang He looked at the sand table in front of him in despair, Nanjing, the land of Longxing in the Ming Dynasty, the city with the most accompanying capital, is in front of him at this moment, hundreds of thousands of troops are at his own disposal, however, the hope of completely flattening Jiangnan has all been disappointed at this moment.

What went wrong?

Yang He didn't know why, he had been an official for decades, and he actually made a mistake in such things, Zhu Yujian, Tang Fan, one by one closely related things lingered in front of him.

Burst...

A mouthful of blood sprayed on the sand table, staining the area representing Nanjing City all red.

"Lord Yang..."

Yang He shook his head weakly and waved his hand: "Master Wu, the old man is old..."

"Lord Yang's merits will be judged by future generations..."

Wu Wendong was born in Dongchang, but his identity source is Jinyiwei, before entering Jinyiwei, he was still the identity of the Liaodong Frontier Army, and after being transferred to Beijing, he stayed in Jinyiwei for various reasons, and he entered Dongchang by mistake, which is very respectful for such a meritorious boss.

But respect is respect, saying that he is here to inquire, but in fact, he is arresting Yang He, but Wu Wen used another method of confession.

"Old man, I am willing to go back to Beijing to report on my work..."

Since Salhu, whenever a general or civilian official is suddenly asked to return to Beijing to report on his work, there is only one word 'death' waiting for him.

What's more, Yang He is still his own member of the Donglin Party, even if the Donglin Party in the imperial court is now dominant, but the factional disputes within the party are still not small, and it is obvious that Yang He belongs to the group with the weakest factional ability.

Yang Qi was very flustered, and after entering the big tent, he even wanted to kill Wu Wen on the spot, but was stopped by Yang He.

"Mr. Yang wants to rebel?"

Wu Wen didn't panic at all, he dared to enter Yang He's big tent alone, he was not alone in going south this time, three hundred Dongchang fans were waiting less than five miles outside the Jiagang Gate, the reason for doing this, Wu Wen also didn't want to fold all these brothers here in case Yang He really wanted to rebel.

"Yang Qi..."

"Boss..."

Yang Qi's eyes widened angrily: "Boss, go back, everything is over..."

Seeing Yang Qi's attitude, Yang He understood immediately, and then smiled bitterly: "Time, life... You stay honest, after the old man leaves, you will be in charge of the army for the time being, and the old man's last order is that the army retreats to the Dasheng Pass, and the passes south of the river must not be lost. ”

Yang Qi couldn't help but shed tears, and then nodded bitterly.

Yang He walked out of the big tent, took another look at the inner city of Nanjing, which was not far from the generals outside the tent, and sighed...

.

"Retreat?"

Zhao Xin nodded: "The various units of the Northern Army are running away, and they are all being promoted when they retreat." ”

Subsequently, the news that the generals entered the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to report the military situation, the content was basically the same, and the Northern Army retreated.

"Lord Wang... The defenders of the Northern Army in the Imperial City abandoned the walls and were evacuating. ”

"Don't chase it..."Chen Cao shook his head: "Something must have happened to Yang He, otherwise he would not give up the opportunity to start a war of attrition with us in Nanjing City, Zhao Xin, send his subordinates to investigate this matter carefully." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, as if there was no other reason to refute it except in this case.

Chen Cao stood up very calmly, walked out of the lobby, delusionally thought about the towering Hongwu Gate not far away, and said with a smile: "Everyone, our great cause will start today, Nanjing City, in the future, will never fall into the hands of others again, this is the place of my Longxing..."

The retreat was very fast, and when He Huchen withdrew from Xihuamen after receiving the news, the Liang army not far away actually watched them leave, and they didn't move, and they didn't even bother to shoot.

Get out alive from the ancient version of the Dunkirk retreat.

It wasn't until after withdrawing from Qingliangmen that He Huchen found that not only them, but even the handsome banner subordinate to the superintendent Yang He had been pulled out of the Jiagang Gate, and the sergeant who came to report only brought one news, so that He Huchen's army immediately rushed to Dasheng Pass to join the army.

.

After several wars, some parts of the city wall have even shown signs of decay, and the rammed earth layer around Andemen has even been exposed outside the wall, leaving Chen Cao not a complete Nanjing city, but decay.

is the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's situation when the Ming Dynasty was founded, Chen Cao is now also facing the problem of his former master.

When Chen Cao learned that Zhu Yousong did not run away and was captured by his subordinates, he even had a headache.

"The one who was caught was also Shi Kefa..."

Chen Cao muttered in his heart, this Shi Kefa is also a rare loyal person, but the evaluation of him in later generations is a little different, whether it is worth it to defend Yangzhou or not, even now seeing Shi Kefa himself, Chen Cao can't say why.

"Gong Yan, do you think there is any way to do this?"

Xu Fuyuan also just came back from talking with the former officials of the Sixth Department of Nanjing, who were under control, and the location was not far away, just opposite the Sixth Department Street of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

I saw Xu Fuyuan touching the folding fan in his hand, then pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "If the prince doesn't want to see them, there is a good way." ”

Saying that, Xu Fuyuan said in a low voice: "Before Emperor Taizu Gao fought with Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng once released Han Lin'er, the co-owner of the world at that time, to Emperor Taizu to save him.

Chen Cao's Ming history is not very good, especially before Xuande.

Xu Fuyuan continued: "Liu Ji said, Taizu is already in a prominent position, if he rescues Han Lin'er, who is the master?" ”

Chen Cao took a deep breath, and before Chen Cao could speak, Xu Fuyuan added: "At that time, Taizu was the King of Wu..."

Call...

Chen Cao exhaled again, Zhu Yuanzhang's situation at that time, no matter how he looked at it now, it was like his current situation: "Gong Yan, what do you mean?" ”

Xu Fuyuan said with a smile: "Han Lin'er died in the end, does the prince know how he died?" ”

"Looks like you're drowning, right?"

Chen Cao reacted suddenly.

Xu Fuyuan nodded: "At that time, Liao Yongzhong, the Marquis of Deqing, was just a commander under Taizu, and when he escorted Han Lin'er to Nanjing, he made his own decisions and sank him into the river. ”

After speaking, Xu Fuyuan laughed, and then said: "At that time, Liao Yongzhong became the commander because of his brother Liao Yongan, who died in battle, and the previous wars were not the most outstanding one. ”

Chen Cao understood what Xu Fuyuan meant, so he said: "It's very simple to sink Zhu Yousong to death, but I don't know if it will have a bad impact on the Zhu family's vassal king in the future." ”

"No, it won't..."

Xu Fuyuan shook his head categorically: "Find some henchmen of the prince, disguise themselves as defeated soldiers of the Qin army, and then rob Zhu Yousong and others, and leave from Qingliangmen, you must get on the boat and go against the current to Dasheng Pass, as long as you enter the Yangtze River, you can act, but this matter still requires soldiers who are proficient in water." ”

What Xu Fuyuan said is very reasonable, it is a chaotic time in Nanjing right now, taking advantage of the current situation to act, no one would have thought that Chen Cao did this matter.

"It makes sense, push it to Yang He with his backhand, and let Zhu Youzhen carry this black cauldron, anyway, he has dealt with a lot of clans," Chen Cao muttered: "Lao Tzu's Wenchen are all so vicious, one day I have to clean up this crooked trend..."

Thump...

Xu Fuyuan knelt down for Chen Cao: "Lord Wang, student... Students..."

Chen Cao raised his head and didn't think so, but actually found that Xu Fuyuan was about to cry: "What are you doing, didn't you say that you are not allowed to kneel?" ”

"Lord... The student just wants to share the worries of the prince..."

Only then did Chen Cao realize that his voice was too loud and he heard it: "Get up, I didn't say anything about you, Huang Chunyao is really too unspeakable..."

Xu Fuyuan: "........."
