Zhu Yihai knew that the people in the city were unstable, and he was worried that someone would surrender, and the enemy army attacked tentatively during the day, so he rushed to the city, which shocked him very much.Therefore, Zhu Yihai sent Jinyi guards to inspect the head of the city, first, to monitor the defenders in the city to prevent the enemy from defecting, and second, to urge the defenders to defend the city and avoid slackness.But I didn't expect this move, but it provoked the incident.The Jianwu Dynasty was established only two years ago, and the background is far inferior to the Longwu Dynasty that was established for 14 years.Jianwu's Jinyi guards have been recruited recently, their quality is uneven, they have no experience, and they often act as prestige, and they deal with problems very simply and rudely, lacking tempering.Yang Geng killed the Jinyi Wei Zhenfu official, set fire to the Tongji Gate, and ordered his subordinates to rush into the city and set fire, and Guo immediately became chaotic in Nanjing.Zhang Mingzhen and Li Yuanyin hurriedly led the troops and came to quell the rebellion, but when Du Yinxi saw the fire in the city, he knew that something had changed, so he sent a large army to attack from all sides.Hao Shaoqi under the response of Yang Geng, led the army into the city, and the Jiangbei army fought in the south of the city, the two sides fought fiercely, but with the Longwu army continued to enter the city, the Jiangbei army finally collapsed.Zhang Mingzhen and Li Yuanyin saw that they could not drive the enemy army out of Neiguo, so they had to lead the defeated army to retreat into the imperial city.For a time, the city of Nanjing was in chaos, the people closed their doors tightly, and the soldiers on the streets were running, which made people tremble.At this time, a soldier of the Jiangbei Army ran into a remote alley and broke into a courtyard.In the courtyard, more than a dozen big men, dressed in black, holding knives and crossbow arrows, guarded the house with nervous expressions."
It's me!"
Seeing a few crossbows aimed at him, the officer hurriedly walked out.The first man in black heard the sound and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What's the matter?"
What about the enemy army entering the city?
”The officer bowed his head and gasped: "The guards of Tongji Gate have rebelled, and Neiguo has fallen!"
”The black-clothed man was shocked on his face, regained his composure for a moment, and said urgently: "Quickly send a pigeon letter to inform King Han, and then send an order to each stronghold to transfer covertly!"
”"Whoa!"
A man in black immediately clenched his fists.After a short time, the man in black in the courtyard took a carrier pigeon, tied it with the written information, and then threw it violently, and the carrier pigeon flapped its wings and disappeared into the night sky.At this time, the city of the Longwu army at any time, the Jiangbei army of Neiguo was no longer able to return to the sky.A group of soldiers and horses retreated into the imperial city in panic, and the city gate was immediately closed by the forbidden army.The Jiangbei army, which had no time to enter the imperial city, could only abandon their armor and weapons, scatter and flee, hiding in the homes of the people, and some surrendered directly to the enemy.On the imperial city, Zhu Yihai was wearing a dragon robe, standing at the head of the city, and there were constantly reports from soldiers, but he didn't seem to hear it, staring at it with empty eyes, and the fire in Nanjing City was soaring.In the middle of the sound, Zhu Yihai's expression became painful, and his heart was extremely unwilling, "Which point is I not as good as Zhu Yujian?"
In this world, I have not turned the tide, and I have already fallen into the hands of Jiannu~Why is this~"......
Suzhou, once the place where Zhao Ming was stationed, was the economic, military and political center of Donghai Town.After Zhao Ming moved Wang Jing to Hangzhou, it still retained its status as an economic center.At this time, there were dense military camps outside the city of Suzhou, Zhao Ming's Han King Daxu flag fluttered high, and several Han generals sat in the big tent, as well as the five military governors' mansions to join the army, as well as senior officials of the parliamentary government."
King, there is another urgent letter from Nanjing asking for help, and the army of Longwu has arrived in the western suburbs of Nanjing!"
Yu Yin, who joined the army, reported the situation.After Zhao Ming returned to Hangzhou, he ordered the army to rest and recuperate, and on the other hand, he mobilized military funds and collected information on the war.Judging from the news received in recent days, under the blow of Li Chengdong's surrender, the morale of the Jiangbei Army was exhausted, and coupled with the fierce offensive of the Longwu Army, Zhu Yihai had been defeated like a broken embankment.Zhao Ming nodded, looked at the people on both sides, and asked, "What do you think?"
”"Your Highness!"
Yan Qiheng, a senator of the parliamentary government, said loudly: "If Longwu completely defeats Jianwu and ends the situation of two days, its momentum will inevitably be greatly boosted.In this way, the local towns will regain their allegiance to Longwu, which is not good for our Han country.The minister thought that Longwu must not be allowed to capture Nanjing!
”"No!"
When Qian Qianyi heard this, he said: "Although Jianwu has retreated to Nanjing, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.At this time, sending troops, our Han State can not reap its benefits, it is better to let Jianwu spend a few more months in Nanjing.First, it can consume the strength of Jianwu, and when His Highness defeats Longwu, Jianwu can only be at the mercy of His Highness, and second, the fatigue of the Longwu army in attacking the city will also increase the chances of victory in our Han Kingdom!
”Yan Qiheng frowned, "It's not proper!"
Although the matter of the battle array is related to troops, equipment, money and food, the key lies in people, and there are thousands of people.When fighting, the most taboo thing is to think of the army as a whole, thinking that it will be like your own arm, but this is often not the case.Mr.
Qian felt that Jianwu still had an army of 50,000, and with the city, according to the convention, it should be able to resist the 300,000 army of Longwu for a few months.However, if it really starts, this time is even more impossible to grasp.What if it was too late and Nanjing was captured by Longwu?
”Qian Qianyi's old face turned red, Yan Qiheng said that he was talking on paper and treating the army as a string of numbers."
Wouldn't it be better if it was breached!"
Qian Qianyi said in a deep voice: "In this way, it is just with the help of Longwu's hand to solve Jianwu!"
”Yan Qiheng said: "The enemy army is 300,000, which is twice that of our army, and he is fighting with victory, how can Qian Sizhi be sure of victory!"
”Zhao Ming frowned, and said in his heart that Qian Qianyi was really ruthless, but Yan Qiheng's worries were reasonable, Qian Qianyi's words were to first determine that the Han army would win, but the war was unpredictable, no one could say, it could also be that Zhao Ming and others Longwu destroyed Zhu Yihai, and then Zhao Ming was defeated by the Longwu army that fought with victory.This is not impossible, after all, Zhao Ming has no absolute chance of winning.He waved his hand to stop the two from arguing, looked at the others and said, "What do you think?"
”After discussing for a while, Zhang Jiayu came out and said: "Your Highness, the army of Longwu is 300,000, while our Han army is only 150,000.If Longwu captures Nanjing, the morale of its army will definitely rise, and our army may not have an absolute chance of victory!
”Before, Zhao Ming expanded the Han army to 300,000, and now more than 100,000 people, stationed in Guanwai, Fujian and Guangzhou, Zhejiang and Susong often have to leave 40,000 or 50,000 people to garrison the place, and the main force of the naval division, staring at Zheng Hongkui in Xiamen, defending the sea frontier, Zhao Ming gathered the Han army, only less than 120,000, plus more than 30,000 troops from Fujian and Guangdong, a total of 150,000 people.Now the army of Longwu and the army of Jianwu have fought for two consecutive years, and the soldiers and horses under their command have been in battle for a long time, and a large number of new equipment have also been used, so that Zhao Ming does not dare to underestimate it, and there is no absolute divine calculation.Zhao Ming was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Lone understands!"
If it is too late, once Longwu captures Nanjing, it will greatly reduce the chances of victory.If we send troops too early to fight Longwu, our army will inevitably pay huge casualties if it wants to win.Only, when Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yujian were exhausted, they sent troops, which was the most powerful for our Han Kingdom, but this time could not be prepared to be mastered. ”Zhang Jiayu saluted and said: "The minister thinks that late is the next policy, early is the middle policy, and the middle is the best policy."
It's just that the timing of the best strategy is difficult to grasp, if someone dedicates the city, or any other accidental event, it may lead to the early fall of Nanjing, and we can't react at all!
”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "This battle is the battle of Dingding, and it is decided that the Ming Dynasty will dominate, and Lone must not fail, so he can't take risks!"
”At this time, Wang Shuang hurriedly came in from outside the tent, saluted on one knee in front of Zhao Ming, and said urgently: "Wang, the military intelligence department Pigeon Xin, Nanjing Neiguo has fallen, and the Longwu army has entered the city and surrounded the imperial city ......" ()
