Hong Chengchou hastily retreated into the inner city, and the garrisons of the outer Guo gates either withdrew into the inner city or fled from Nanjing.The Ming army rushed into Waiguo City, killed the Qing general Gao Jinku, beheaded more than 3,000 people, captured more than 1,000 Qing troops, and although the losses of the Nanjing defenders were not large, they completely lost their courage.After the Qing army retreated into the city, they allowed the Ming army to enter Waiguo, but they did not dare to send troops to drive them out.Although Duoduo's main force went south, the strength of the Qing army in Jiangnan was not weak, with 50,000 or 60,000 people, far stronger than the Ming army, but the Qing army had too many places to defend, and the troops were scattered, and they were broken by the Ming army.Hong Chengchou's battle, fought like this, was pushed all the way from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Nanjing by 10,000 Ming troops, and was almost pushed off the base by Zhao Mingyi, which was really disgraceful.Now the morale of the Qing army in the city is low, and with the Ming army attacking Waiguo and garrisoning the Purple Mountain, the gentry in Nanjing have begun to be unstable, and the Ming restoration forces, which have been suppressed by the Qing court by cruel means, have begun to move again.The rule of the Qing army in Jiangnan became precarious, and Hong Chengchou did not dare to take any more risks, and stubbornly defended the inner city, waiting for reinforcements to rescue.The people of the world are actually very clear in their hearts, who is good and who is bad, especially the people in the Jiangnan area, most of them are very nostalgic for the Ming Dynasty, but they are afraid of the high-pressure rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty itself is not angry, and the people can only succumb to the Manchu Qing in order to survive.But once they see the hope of recovering the Ming Dynasty, which Han people are willing to be ruled and oppressed by foreign races?
Zhao Ming's soldiers entered the Yangtze River, and at first the people in Jiangnan did not react enthusiastically, they were afraid that after the defeat of the Ming army, they would suffer from the ambitions of the Qing army, so they all held a wait-and-see attitude.The Ming army entered Waiguo, which became a turning point in the mood of the people, and the people around Waiguo City and Nanjing abandoned their clothes and put on Ming clothes to support the Ming army.For a while, Jiangnan was boiling again, and Zhao Ming decided to burn another fire.On February 1st, a sunny day, outside the Xiaoling Guard in Nanjing, the white flags were exhibited, and 10,000 people were vegetarian.Nearly Wanming soldiers, wearing white filial piety clothes, weapons are wrapped with white cloth, outside the filial piety mausoleum, arranged in a neat formation, the soldiers are motionless, the expression is solemn.Outside the military array, tens of thousands of people from all over the country came to watch and watch the king worship Emperor Taizu.At this time, Xia Wanchun said: "General Zhao, the time has come!"
”Zhao Ming then led the people to slaughter three animals, sacrificed to Ming Taizu, and stood in front of more than 10,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of people, and recited the sacrificial text aloud: "The Ming Dynasty general Zhao, leading the soldiers under his command, I would like to sacrifice to the spirit of my Taizu Emperor, the Han people are unfortunate, the emperor is falling, and the rebellious ministers and thieves lead the wolf to endanger China, so that the land sinks, the Central Plains is shook, and the north is Jiangnan, and all are captured."
Daming Temple, Taizu's mausoleum, is based on captives, and the ministers are ashamed. ”"The captives took advantage of my gap to invade the Central Plains, and in the past two years.The Central Plains is a disaster, the South is a bully, the living beings are poisonous, the people are ravaged by it, and the cultural rules are bad.Captured in China for two years, killed my people, bullied my sisters, shaved my hair and changed clothes, and ruined my clothes.My thousands of years of etiquette and human ethics in China, poetry and books, have been swept away, and the crimes committed are too numerous to write. ”"This captive is a heinous crime, and everyone is punished for it.Jin Ming led the king's division, broke Chongming, restored Zhenjiang, and the army went straight to Jinling, inspiring to expel the Tartars, revive the Han family, and comfort my ancestors.Mingding to restore the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible, to the north of the expedition, to drive out the north and restore my old frontier, to return my Shenzhou, to comfort the spirit of my emperor in the sky, to relieve the urgency of the people, people with lofty ideals in the world, to work together, to Kuang Han room.Emperor Taizu looked at it in the spirit of heaven, blessed the Ming Dynasty, and respectfully advised. ”Zhao Ming read the memorial text written by He Wencheng aloud, and then shouted loudly: "Return to Jiangnan as soon as possible, and march north in the future!"
”More than 10,000 soldiers immediately raised their weapons, their white belts fluttering, and roared in unison, "Drive out the northern captives, restore my old frontier, and return my Shenzhou!"
”The surrounding people, with tears in their eyes, shook their fists and roared, "Give me back my Shenzhou!"
”…… The Qing army in Nanjing retreated into the city to wait for reinforcements, which reduced the Qing army's deterrent effect to Jiangnan to the lowest point.Zhao Ming took the opportunity to worship filial piety, the Ming army was more vigorous, in a few days, there were a large number of gentry to organize the righteous army, bring their own weapons, money and food, come to help the war, gathered 40,000 people near Nanjing, at the same time, Zhao Ming ordered Xia Wanchun, He Wencheng, to do the text to pass the book to all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and the counties along the river responded one after another.In Lu'an, Jiangbei, Zhou Guozuo, the governor of Jiangning who retreated here, wrote to Beijing, "Haikou Zhao Tiebang broke Chongming, according to Zhenjiang, cut off Caoyun, invaded Jiangning, sacrificed filial piety, and the Jiangnan earthquake was great."
Today, the people along the river, all abandon the full clothes, and wear scarves, the people in the cities are chaotic, holding the county order hostage, and there are no longer a few people who want to open the city to welcome the Kou.The servants invite the imperial court, quickly send real Manchuria, go south under the starry night, and stabilize the situation!
”Yan Shaoqing, the commander of Shanghai County, urgently said to Songjiang Mansion, "Shanghai is happy with thieves, no one in the whole city is guarding the city, there are Xiucai openly covering the net, and Yang Yan welcomes the thief!"
”For a time, as the news that the Ming army invaded Waiguo and worshiped Xiaoling came, all parts of the south of the Yangtze River were boiling again, and the Heaven and Earth Society also took the opportunity to incite an uprising, attack the county government, and kill Manchu officials.Within a few days, Fushan, Jurong, Jintan, Danyang, Taicang and other places have rebelled, and they support Ming anyway.Bauhinia Mountain, the Ming army camp spread, and there are more than 50,000 people gathered here.This made Li Chengdong's confidence skyrocket, since he had such strength, he felt that he could completely defeat Nanjing City.The inner city is the essence of Nanjing, a large number of Manchu officials live in the city, only by laying the inner city, Li Chengdong can rob unbridled.At this time, in the tent of the Ming army commander, everyone gathered together to discuss the current situation, and Li Chengdong said: "The Qing army in the city is less than 20,000, and we have now gathered more than 50,000 people, and there are righteous people who continue to come to Nanjing.In Ben Shuai's opinion, since the outer Guo is broken, it is better to simply knock down the inner city. ”The generals below were all excited when they heard the words, "Dashuai, you can give the order!"
”Zhao Ming did not object, the more the Ming army made trouble in Jiangnan, the more anxious Duoduo would be, and if Duoduo did not return to the division, he would continue to make trouble.Li Chengdong looked at Zhao Ming and said excitedly: "General Zhao, do you have any opinions?"
”Zhao Ming was about to speak, when Wang Deshun suddenly came in and said: "General, the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society have sent news and found that the Qing army has been returning to Nanjing from Zhejiang on a starry night!"
”Li Chengdong and the others couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, and exclaimed: "Could it be that Duoduo retired from the army?"
”"Counting the footsteps, Duoduo should have just received the news that we had invaded Nanjing and worshiped the filial piety tomb, it shouldn't be so fast!"
Xia Wanchun pondered.Zhao Ming looked at Wang Deshun, "Do you know which part of the people and how many troops there are?"
”Wang Deshun said: "It's Kong Youde, there are more than 40,000 people!"
”Zhao Ming frowned when he heard this, "It is estimated that when our troops came to Nanjing, Hong Chengchou sent a messenger to bring reinforcements.There are only 40,000 people, indicating that Duoduo did not withdraw his army, but only transferred a detachment of troops to reinforce. ”(Thank you for the 1000 from the front to the end, Han Zhiguangwu, book friends 20180113160126931 for the reward, thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe.) ）()
