Zhao Ming quickly broke through Zhenjiang, which shocked He Tengjiao extremely much, and a chill arose in his heart.Liu Chengyin was also frightened, and actually proposed to give up Nanjing.Zhao Ming's banner is the Qing monarch's side, subtracting the traitorous party in the DPRK and China, and the main peace faction is Zhao Mingkou's traitorous party.Now seeing Zhao Ming's ferocity, the Lord and the faction are naturally afraid that after Zhao Ming enters Nanjing, they will clean them up and exile them.Speaking of which, the fact that the Longwu Imperial Court was able to occupy Nanjing and achieve today's achievements was not due to the merits of He Tengjiao's family, but to block Yinxi and the main battle faction, throwing their heads and spilling their blood, and working hard in exchange.He Tengjiao and others overthrew Yinxi, drove the main battle faction out of the imperial court, and stole the results of the main battle faction.Because it was not earned by their own efforts, they didn't know how difficult it was to start a business, He Tengjiao's generation, squandering the foundation accumulated by the main battle faction, and now they are encountering difficulties, not thinking about keeping their jobs, but first thinking of escaping.After the Battle of Jiangbei, He Tengjiao showed contempt for Zhao Ming, and now Zhao Ming has returned, and as soon as he appeared, he was shocked.This reminded He Tengjiao of Zhao Ming's previous majesty, and his heart was cold, he listened to Liu Chengyin's words, and couldn't help but feel that Zhao Bo'an was as fierce as an overlord, and his strength was invincible.In the Imperial Palace of Nanjing City, the Imperial Study.Zhu Yujian was furious, he roared in disbelief, "The Zhenjiang City Imperial Court has been operating for many years, and there are 50,000 defenders, and they can't hold it for a day?
”Zhu Yujian's body trembled with anger, and he was completely shocked by the incompetence of the forbidden army, which made him speechless for a while."
Your Majesty, the rebels have new artillery, and the cannonballs blow up on the ground and blow up the walls.With just a few shots, the walls were empty, and the rebels were able to capture Zhenjiang!
”Liu Chengyin kowtowed to the ground.Zhu Yujian was extremely angry in his heart, but the fall of Zhenjiang was already a fact, and he had to face the situation that the rebels were about to come to the city."
The traitors are trapped in Zhenjiang, and the soldiers will come to Nanjing, how do you think I should deal with it?"
Although Zhu Yujian is angry in his heart, the most important thing at the moment is to discuss countermeasures.In the imperial study, many people were silent, Zhao Ming tens of thousands of people, and took Zhenjiang, which was guarded by 50,000 troops in one day, and the rebels were so fierce that everyone was really bottomless.At this time, Liu Chengyin quietly raised his head and glanced at He Tengjiao, who bowed slightly."
Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the rebels are fierce, it is better to temporarily abandon Nanjing, withdraw to Wuchang, wait for the Xichuan soldiers to come to help, and then build a fortress to recapture Nanjing!"
Liu Chengyin kowtowed.Zhu Yujian's face sank, he was greatly annoyed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "He Gebu also means this?"
”He Tengjiao saw that Zhu Yujian saw through it and knew that Liu Chengyin was his person, and saying such words must represent what he meant.For a while, He Tengjiao could only bite the bullet, "Your Majesty, the traitor is fierce, it is better to avoid his edge for the time being......"
He Tengjiao said halfway through, and couldn't continue, because Zhu Yujian's face was already gloomy to the extreme.Zhu Yujian finally entered Nanjing, thinking that he had realized the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty and was a king with great achievements.He was bent on rebuilding the authority of the central government and stabilizing the Zhu family and his descendants.Now, He Tengjiao asked him to withdraw from Nanjing, which is tantamount to making Zhu Yujian admit defeat.Moreover, the situation in the Longwu court before could be said to be very good, Zhu Yujian believed in any Tengjiao so much, entrusted the government to him, but now he wants him to evacuate Nanjing, Zhu Yujian absolutely cannot accept it.For a moment, Zhu Yujian couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart, maybe he shouldn't have driven away Gu Yinxi and activated He Tengjiao, although the lord and faction obeyed him, they were all straw bales.Zhu Yujian's face was gloomy, He Tengjiao didn't dare to continue, and in the imperial study, it was so quiet that it was frightening.At this time, just when Zhu Yujian's face was gloomy to the extreme, the scholar Zhang Tongchang suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you must not retreat!"
If Nanjing is lost, the world will be in chaos!
At this time, we must defend Nanjing!
Fight to the death!
”Zhang Tongchang is worthy of being Zhang Juzheng's descendant, and he stood up at a critical moment and expressed his opinions.If you listen to He Tengjiao's words, return to Wuchang in the west, and give up Nanjing, the orthodox status will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the world will definitely rise together.Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty was originally a feudal town, there were many warlords, and the Longwu court finally gradually established its authority, if it gave up Nanjing, the majesty was immediately swept away.At that time, first of all, Jiangsu and Zhejiang will inevitably start a new stove and fight against the imperial court, and within the Longwu court, the warlords of the towns will not be so obedient, and Sun Kewang of Xichuan will also take advantage of the situation.In addition, the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the Northern Dynasty has been eyeing the Ming Dynasty, and once the Ming Dynasty is divided, the Qing army will inevitably invade the south.At that time, the Longwu Imperial Court will fall into a land of no return, and Zhu Yujian will not be able to become Song Gaozong, and can only become the first emperor and the like and become a laughing stock.Several ministers of the main peace faction were worried that after the Zhejiang faction invaded Nanjing, they would be liquidated, so they questioned Zhang Tongchang's proposal.The general idea is that Zhao Boan is unstoppable, so it is better to avoid his front for the time being.This made Zhu Yujian very angry, quite disappointed in the Lord and the faction, and walked away.The next day, Zhu Yujian convened Liu Fangliang, Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi and other generals to discuss the meeting, and Zhang Tongchang, a bachelor who advocated sticking to Nanjing, and Yang Wencong, who did not have a clear position on the surface, were also asked to participate in the discussion.As for the first assistant, He Tengjiao, he was excluded from the meeting and was in danger of falling out of favor.Zhu Yujian convened the generals of the Shun system to discuss, and according to the news of the mortar cannons and flowering shells learned from the mouths of the defeated soldiers, Li Laiheng analyzed and proposed that the mortar cannons in Donghai Town were inconvenient to move, and the firing speed was not fast, and the threat to the fixed city wall was huge, but in the wilderness, it was difficult to get a chance to use it.Li Laiheng then boldly proposed to divide the Nanjing garrison into two parts, one to hold the city and the other to camp out of the city, to contain the Zhejiang army, and the cavalry to harass, making it difficult for the rebels to use mortars.After Zhu Yujian consulted with everyone, he immediately ordered Li Laiheng to lead 6,000 cavalry and garrison Xuzhuang in the eastern suburbs, Yuan Zongdi to lead 25,000 troops to garrison Zhongshan, Liu Tichun to lead 25,000 troops to garrison Qixia Mountain, Liu Fangliang to lead 40,000 Shun forbidden troops, plus more than 30,000 Zhenjiang defeated troops, a total of more than 70,000 people, to guard Nanjing.Just when Zhu Yujian was properly arranged, Zhao Ming's army also completed preparations in Zhenjiang.After taking Zhenjiang, Zhao Ming's army increased from 60,000 to 80,000, known as 300,000, and advanced to Nanjing in a noisy manner.In mid-November, the advance of the Zhejiang army marched west against the Yangtze River and reached the eastern suburbs of Nanjing.When the forward officers of the Zhejiang army peeked into the city defense of Nanjing, they were shocked by the behemoth in front of them, the height of the Nanjing city wall and the width of the moat were much greater than what the Zhejiang army had seen before.Just as the front was about to peep at close range, a group of forbidden cavalry galloped to expel the forward, the forbidden army cavalry was not much, only one or two hundred horsemen, but the Zhejiang army forward lone division went deep, and did not dare to stay for a long time, immediately flew away, and reported to Zhao Ming to Baohua Mountain.()
