The battle between the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, together with Yingtian Mansion's officers and Jin Yiwei, lasted a short time and ended with the defeat of the imperial officers and soldiers and the Jin Yiwei's successful escape from Nanjing City.
"Have you heard that the Jin Yiwei and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division fought?
The killing was so ruthless, blood flowed into the river, and the sun and the moon were dim.
The Jinyiwei was indeed a ruthless killer.
The soldiers of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division were killed.
The streets are paved,” the first citizen said mysteriously.
"Aren't they all officers and soldiers of the imperial court?
How come my family is fighting with my family?"
the second commoner asked in surprise.
"Scared, I said you are really ignorant.
Don't you know?
The Duke of Qi has rebelled and is leading hundreds of thousands of troops to Nanjing.
The commander of the Jin Yiwei is a member of the Duke of Qi.
Of course the court cannot tolerate him. .
I said, Lao Tie, you can't just make money, you are at the feet of the emperor, you have to care about the important affairs of the court," the first commoner said, shaking his head.
"Alas, why did the good Duke of Qi turn against you?
He is a hero of our Ming Dynasty.
He saved the current emperor and eradicated King Fu's rebellion.
Without him, all the people in Nanjing would have become slaves of the Manchu Tatars.
You don’t know, but I have a relative who is from Beizhi and lives outside Beijing.
He fled to Nanjing and joined me last year.
He said that the north was in dire straits now.
There were wars and disasters, and the Tatars were encircling the land.
The common people's fields had been turned into horse farms by the Tatars.
Many people could not survive and fled south, but they were chased and killed by the Tatars.
On the way.
Tell me, if the Duke of Qi had not driven away the Mantars, we Nanjing people would definitely be like the northerners, and we would be miserable now."
The third commoner had been listening quietly and couldn't help but say.
"Hey, those who are said to be rebels are not necessarily rebels.
Those who falsely accuse others of rebelling may be traitors.
Do you know why Duke Qi came to kill him?
I heard that there was a traitor in the court who killed the third prince for his own benefit.
How did he come out?
I married a third prince who escaped from the city of Beijing and was separated from His Majesty.
He fled to Shandong and hid.
His Majesty knew that his son was still alive and immediately sent people to rescue him.
It was the traitorous ministers of the imperial court who sent people to kill the third prince.
His Majesty was furious after hearing the news.
He was already very ill, but now he He just suffered a stroke.
It is said that His Majesty is now completely unconscious and unable to speak.
Tell me, what is the relationship between the Duke of Qi and Your Majesty?
He is His Majesty's son-in-law.
I heard that he can still sit still.
Didn't he raise troops and return to Nanjing to eradicate the traitorous officials and avenge His Majesty and his son?
" The first commoner obviously had a good background and knew a lot about Xin Mi in the court.

When he said what he said, the other commoners were shocked.
"Even the prince dares to kill and trap His Majesty.
These traitorous ministers must be too courageous."
"The Duke of Qi killed me well, but I can't bear it.
My brother-in-law and father-in-law are being framed, and the country is about to be given away to outsiders by the ministers.
No one can bear it."
Everyone has a steelyard in their mind.
In recent years, although Chen Yue has made many enemies in the officialdom and court, his image among the people is extremely high.
Especially after his father Chen Jianghe devoted his loyalty to the country, the reputation of the Chen family as a loyal family and Chen Yue's invincible deeds spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Since ancient times, loyal ministers and filial sons have been the most loved by the people, not to mention that Chen Yue did much more than that.
Not to mention serving the country bravely and killing the enemy, confiscating most of the Nanjing nobles and cleaning up the Lianghuai Salt Administration, all of which have brought great benefits to the people.
The nobles were searched, and a large number of fields seized by the nobles were returned to their original owners.
The businesses monopolized by the nobles also disappeared, giving the common people more opportunities.
The cleanup of the Lianghuai salt policy has reduced the price of salt by almost half, making the people grateful.
Especially when he was recently ordered to lead an army on an expedition, he blocked hundreds of thousands of Western bandits in Jiangxi and eliminated them.
This also helped eliminate a military rebellion in Nanjing and the entire southeast, freeing the people from the suffering of the war.
All of this, especially with the propaganda of well-intentioned people, caused the hearts of the people of Nanjing to quickly shift towards Chen Yue, the lone loyal minister, and the prestige of the imperial court quickly declined.
Of course, for all this, the high-ranking bosses have not yet realized the shift in people's hearts.
At this moment, Shi Kefa, the first assistant, was angry.
"Trash, thousands of government soldiers were defeated by hundreds of Jinyi guards.
How did you, Yingtian Prefecture Yin, and what did the troops who defended the city do for food?
You actually allowed the rebels to escape from Nanjing without firing a single shot."
Yao Sixiao stood in front of Shi Kefa with a gloomy face, but was speechless.
"Yuanfu, I don't blame Yao Fuyin for this, it's Liu Neng who is too fierce.
Who would have thought that the Jinyiwei Yamen actually hides a large number of firearms, bows and crossbows.
The duty of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division is only to arrest bandits, and their equipment is only broadswords and spears. , There is no way to fight against them, let alone the guards of Yingtian Mansion holding iron rulers," Ge Lao Wang Duo persuaded from the side.
Shi Kefa took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anger.
He also knew that Yao Sixiao could not be entirely blamed for the incident.
"I would say the biggest responsibility belongs to the defenders of the Beijing Camp.
The Jinyi Guards escaped from Tongji Gate.
When they escaped, the city gate was opened and all the officers and soldiers disappeared.
There were soldiers guarding the outer city, but when the Jinyi Guards were killed, When he arrived, he let Jin Yiwei break through the door without any resistance. " Zuo Maodi, the Minister of War, said.
Wang Yin, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was from Chen Yue.
He had been removed from his official post by Shi Kefa's order, and Zuo Maodi was temporarily in charge of the Ministry of War.
Today's cabinet meeting discussed how to resist Chen Yue's army, and Zuo Maodi was able to attend the meeting.
"Although there are over 100,000 troops in the city at the moment, they are divided into the Jingying camp, the Caojiang navy, and the guest armies from Fujian and Zhejiang.
The system is complex and the personnel are complex.
Even if you want to rectify it in a hurry, it will not be a short time.
How to rectify it?
Send It will be troublesome for anyone to rectify it.
Although it was reported that the Duke of Qi only brought 30,000 troops to attack, these 30,000 soldiers were all experienced soldiers who had fought in battles.
They were not comparable to the troops in the city.
If there is a fight, the outcome is uncertain.
After all, the Duke of Qi is a general of the imperial court, and since His Majesty is still here, it is estimated that he is not bent on betraying the imperial court.
From the official's point of view, it is better to send someone to negotiate with him first to see what his intentions are.

If the war can be eliminated through negotiation, it is better than continuing the war and causing disaster to all living beings. " After Zuo Mao's first analysis, he solemnly proposed to the cabinet elders that he negotiate with Chen Yue. s: After dinner last night, I wanted to lie down for a while before getting up to type, but I ended up lying awake until five or six o'clock.
I quickly got up to type a chapter, and then I had to go to work.
I'm a hard-working author
