Chapter 402: Re-entry to Jinling


Zhu Di was violent, approaching Jinling, Zhu Yunwen thought about it, only that move was not only a strategy to delay the army, but also to confirm the trick of "dividing the world" that King Yan was really usurping, but in the face of Zhu Yunwen's move, Zhu Di also only had one trick to return: "I don't want the world, I want to annihilate the ministers" The peace faction returned, and the kings returned again, this time they kept returning, and the kings were moved by Zhu Di's brotherhood, think about it carefully, in the past few years, they have been in the capital with their tails between their legs, if it weren't for the emperor busy cleaning up King Yan, it is difficult to say that they would not have been thrown into prison on trumped-up charges, so this persuasion of peace, not only did not move Zhu Di, but made them quietly stand on Zhu Di's side.

Zhu Yunwen has really been able to stand these people in the past few years, so many generals under the emperor surrendered without a fight, they were all because they were afraid of death, this is only 30 years after the founding of the country, many generals in the army have been promoted after a hundred battles and battlefields, how can there be a vassal king who is afraid of death and is still in various places so far I have not seen a king of Laiqin, whether it is when King Yan is weak, or when he is arrogant now, no vassal king has stood up to respond to the emperor from beginning to end, this can't explain the problem The king regards his ministers as siblings, and the ministers regard him as his parents; The king regards his ministers as dogs and horses, and his ministers regard him as his countrymen; The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as an enemy; Xun Qi, military generals, and the royal family, these three powerful forces were all heartbroken by Zhu Yunwen, the only thing he paid attention to was the ministers, but the role that the ministers could play at this time was really limited, after listening to the kings' returns, Zhu Yunwen could no longer hold back the fear in his heart, and cried loudly in the Golden Palace.

Seeing that the emperor was so out of shape, the officials were finally a little moved.

There were officials who went out to offer advice to persuade the emperor to flee to Sichuan, and his reason was that with the dangerous terrain of the land of abundance and the abundance of grain and rice, it was enough to fight with the king of Yan again; However, some people immediately objected, and proposed that they should flee to eastern Zhejiang, because at the beginning of the emperor's succession, the taxes in eastern Zhejiang were reduced, and they were even supported by the landlords there, and it was the hometown of most civil officials, with a solid foundation; As soon as the officials from Zhejiang finished speaking, there were officials from Huxiang who persuaded the emperor to flee to the area of Jingchu in Huxiang, where there is now a king of Ning, and King Ning is also a warlike prince, but since King Ning obeyed the holy decree and was renamed Jingzhou, he was only given 300 guards, and he has been guarding himself, planting flowers and grass there, and now the situation is critical, it is better to retreat to Huxiang, hand over the soldiers and horses to King Ning, and ask King Ning to go out and control the vassal king with the vassal king.

Zhu Yunwen is a person who has no idea, these people say that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, which one sounds reasonable, Zhu Yunwen is at a loss, and wants to find a courtier who is his closest confidant to ask for an accurate idea, but when he looked at it, there was only one Fang Xiaoru in front of him, and Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng had already sent someone to summon them to return to Beijing, but they had not arrived yet, and a wave of resentment arose.

Zhu Yunwen burst into tears, glared at Fang Xiaoru, and said hatefully: "What happened to you, and now you are all going to abandon me?"

What generation is your generation who first advocated cutting the feudal domain is Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, and now they are not in Beijing, and the other urgent pioneer is Fang Xiaoru, hearing the emperor's words, Fang Xiaoru can be a little unbearable, he stood at the head of the Wenchen class, looked at the opposite side, and saw Li Jinglong standing there, looking leisurely, comfortable, and couldn't help but be angry.

Fang Xiaoru pointed at Li Jinglong and said sharply: "If you are bad for Your Majesty, this thief is also."

If it weren't for him, how could hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my court be lost in the northern frontier, how could the court have a predicament today, the emperor, kill this thief to thank the world" As he spoke, he pounced angrily, grabbed Li Jinglong and hit him.

Li Jinglong was born as a military general after all, if he really wanted to do it, he could kick Fang Xiaoru down with one kick, but he didn't dare, in case he angered the emperor, he really ordered him to be killed, and now King Yan couldn't save him.

Li Jinglong had no choice but to pretend to be a grandson, hold his head to protect the vital point and ignore it, and some of the other civil servants remembered that Li Jinglong had been defeated twice, which caused the situation of the imperial court to be today, and they also stepped forward angrily to scratch and scratch.

"Enough" Lian Zining was so angry that his mouth was crooked, and Fang Daru was too out of tune, at this time, you divided Li Jinglong's body alive and there was a fart The emperor's crisis is that the Yan army is coming to the city, no one has an idea about this matter, and it is brave to shirk the responsibility.

Lian Zining roared to stop the civil officials, Li Jinglong slowly stood up from the ground with his head in his hands, dusted off his robe, it looked like his robe and hairstyle were a little messy, but there was nothing big about his body and face.

Lian Zining arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Jinling City is high and deep, and the food is sufficient, so it will not be a problem to keep it for a year."

The soldiers of the king of Yan are coming to the city, and the battle is just a quick word, and as soon as the division of the king of the Qin from all walks of life in my court arrives, the siege of Jinling will be solved, so the current plan is to immediately dispatch troops and send generals, and collect all the soldiers and horses outside the city into the city, as long as the Jinling city is guarded for a month, it is enough."

Saying this, Fang Xiaoru's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly echoed: "Yes, what Lord Lian said is reasonable, the emperor can transfer all the soldiers and horses and people outside the city into the city, burn all the surrounding houses and woods, the Yan soldiers have no siege equipment, the defenders in my city are leaning on the strong city, and I am afraid that I can't hold on to Jinan Tie Xuan can hold on to Jinan for three months, and the king of Yan is exhausted, and the emperor himself sits here, and the morale and military heart can be compared with Tie Xuan."

As long as we hold it for a month, the 60,000 troops of Fengyang, the central capital, the 400,000 troops of Huai'an Mei's horses, and the divisions of all walks of life will arrive one after another, and King Yan will have to flee back to Beiping even if he is not defeated."

Zhu Yunwen was overjoyed when he heard this, and said continuously: "Yes, what the two Aiqing said is reasonable, just according to what the two Aiqing said, implement it immediately, implement it immediately."

From Shence Gate, Jinchuan Gate, Zhongfu Gate, through Longjiang Station, bypassing Lion Mountain, and then to Yifeng Gate in the west of the city, the thirteen city gates of Jinling are opened, and the front of each city gate winds for dozens of miles, people shout and neigh, and the people are not soldiers or people, and they move to Jinling City in an endless stream.

Jinling Yanjing was shrouded in a tense atmosphere of black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it.

It was the scorching summer, countless people to help the old and the young, under the persecution of the officers and soldiers, carrying a small burden and tears to move to the city of Nanjing, just after entering the city, these young and strong laborers were picked out by the officers and soldiers, under the supervision of the officers and soldiers, left Jinling City, demolished all the houses, pushed the bricks and stones with small carts, shouldered the beams with ropes, and transported these things back to the city for the purpose of defending the city.

Jinling is Yanjing, and the surrounding villages and towns are relatively wealthy, but in a moment, they were demolished and turned into ruins.

The people were carrying and working under the scorching heat, and many of them were hungry and thirsty and fell to the side of the roadside, and no one bothered to bury them, and there were all the houses and mountains and forests that had not had time to be demolished, and all the flames burned the sky, and the wind and the ashes were everywhere, and the bodies of the people who had fallen to death by overwork were all blackened.

The people watched the houses burned down and demolished, and the merchants saw their shops looted and smashed, but they could only cry silently, and under the escort of the officers and soldiers, they did not even dare to scold a word.

Of course, there are also those who heard the news and knew the opportunity early, and packed up the gold and silver in advance and fled.

Everyone knows that King Yan's goal is Jinling City, if he can escape, who is willing to go to Jinling City to accompany Tie Xuan to guard Jinan, and the people starve to death countless things, they have already heard about it.

Jiangning County, Shuangqiaomen.

Linqiao is a hotel, called "Shuangqiao Xian Restaurant", specializing in river fresh, especially puffer fish, this master chef cuisine is particularly authentic, this shop has been operating here for decades, I have not heard that the guinea fish is not clean, so that the guests are poisoned, so although it is only a mid-range tavern, sometimes in order to try it, the city's wealthy businessmen will also come here to taste it.

Because this shop is in the outermost part of Jinling, the emperor decreed that the people all moved into the city, and the peripheral buildings can be demolished, and if they can't be demolished, they will be burned.

The officers and soldiers searched all the way to this point, and most of the families had already escaped.

A small school walked into the "Shuangqiao Xian Restaurant" and bumped into two young people who hurriedly ran out with their burdens, and the small school immediately drew his knife and said: "What people?"

When the two young men saw it, they hurriedly said: "Master Jun spares his life, we are the guys in this store." ” When Xiao Xiao saw that the two of them were dressed in the clothes of Xiao Er, he took back his knife and asked, "You are in a hurry, what are you doing here?"

The little second in front of him shouted at the time of hitting the sky: "Master Jun, we are the second child in this store, the shopkeeper has no conscience, he packed up and led the whole family to run away, and the wages have not been settled."

The two of us brothers are really angry, so so" "Hmm" The little colonel glared, and another man hurriedly laughed and said, "We just collected some household work to cover the wages." ” Xiao Xiao looked at the two of them carrying the burden, knocked with the back of the knife, clanging, it was a pot, kitchen knife and other things, he looked at the figure of the two again, and said: "Yes, you are strong, don't run around, the emperor has an order, all the people on the periphery of Jinling move inward, stick to Jinling City, you two, come with us, go back to defend the city." ” "Ahh The two juniors were so shocked that they begged repeatedly, and the little school had no reason for them to plead, and shouted: "If you dare to disobey the holy decree, you will be punished as a bandit and a party, believe it or not, I will cut you with a knife." ” The two juniors didn't dare to speak anymore when they heard this, and they were so reluctant to speak.

The little colonel looked around, there was nothing to collect, to the periphery, a total of not caught a few strong men, if the house is demolished, this beam has to be carried by himself, such a hot day, such a long road, that is enough to kill, so he used a knife to command the two shop guys and said: "Burn it, burn it, burn this restaurant immediately, follow us back to the city" Under the persecution of the officers and soldiers, the two shopkeepers were forced to set fire to the restaurant and followed them towards Jinling City.

Along the way, the officers and soldiers had already arrested some people who were ready to flee, and on the way back, they intercepted some people who ran late.

As soon as they entered the city gate, the two subconsciously glanced at each other, with a slight smile in their eyes, they were Xia Xun and Ji Gang The city was full of people, crowded and chaotic, and taking advantage of the chaos, the two people quickly disappeared into the crowd To be continued:
