That night, the cavalry of the Han army chased to the Great Victory Pass, and the Ming army flag was still there, but the men and horses dispersed in a hurry.Dasheng Pass, the camp of the Ming army, is the place where the 300,000 troops who attacked Nanjing store food, and the camp is scattered everywhere with food and military materials that the Ming army has not had time to take away.The Han army pursued the infantry and extinguished the fire, and the cavalry continued to pursue, the Ming army did not stay in Taiping and Wuhu, and the Han army collected the city all the way, and on February 20, it arrived near Anqing, only to be counterattacked by Li Laiheng.The Ming army retreated 500 miles in one go, and the Han army was busy receiving places, so the Ming army barely regained its position.In the city of Anqing, the defeated army gathered, 300,000 troops, less than half of the retreated, and less than 100,000 people withdrew to Anqing.This greatly damaged the vitality of the Longwu Dynasty, and it did not have the ability to continue the war, which also indicated that Zhu Yujian had failed.If the fight continues, the Longwu court will be destroyed by the Han army sooner or later.For a while, the people in Anqing City were panicked, and Zhu Yujian's heart was scattered, and he immediately fell terminally ill.At this time, the despair in his heart tormented Zhu Yujian's already old body.For example, Yuan Shao was defeated in Guandu, and Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling, his psychology was greatly hit, and his condition deteriorated rapidly in a short period of time.In the Anqing Palace, Zhu Yujian's eyes were sunken, half lying on the hospital bed, his face was like ashes.The Battle of Nanjing, the tragic scene of the collapse of the 300,000 army, made Zhu Yujian completely dead, with Zhao Ming here, he could not dominate the world.This made Zhu Yujian actually have a trace of Yuliang plot in his heart, but he hated Zhao Ming more than he appreciated it.If it weren't for Zhao Ming, he would have already dominated the world, and the huge resentment in his heart was also an important reason for the collapse of his body.At this time, less than 100,000 of the 300,000 troops fled to Anqing.Now, although the Longwu Imperial Court, counting the soldiers and horses left behind in Huguang and Jiangxi, there are still 200,000 people, but the elite has been lost, all the equipment has been lost, and the army is not loud, so it is no longer possible to continue fighting.In the fifteenth year since the establishment of the Longwu Imperial Court, Zhu Yujian worked hard to run the family, and most of the reimbursements were made in the First World War.And he has no time to re-operate for more than ten years.Zhu Yujian leaned on the bed, listening to the report of the courtiers, the army was lost, and the subordinate generals were either killed or captured, and he couldn't help but feel sad.He thought that many years of hard work had been ruined, and suddenly cried bitterly, "My country!
I didn't think about it~" Seeing this, the minister who reported could only pause, and waited for Zhu Yujian to stabilize his mood before continuing: "Your Majesty, Li Chengdong led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to surrender, and Jin Shenghuan, the king of Yulin, led the Jiangxi soldiers and went back to Jiangxi. ”"Ahem~" There was a violent cough, Zhu Yujian suddenly spit blood from his mouth, and the attendant hurriedly took the basin to pick it up.The ministers in front of the bed exclaimed again and again, and Zhu Yujian coughed for a while before he recovered his strength."
What else, go on!"
Zhu Yujian's chest rose and fell.Du Yinxi waved his hand, stopped Jiang Yueguang from continuing to speak, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body!"
”Zhu Yujian cried bitterly, "My body, I know it, I'm afraid that the destiny of heaven is approaching~" "Your Majesty~" Ministers such as Yinxi and Zheng Chenggong couldn't help but kowtow to the ground, grieving in their hearts.At this time, Zhu Yujian said bitterly: "This defeat, the country will be difficult in the future, but I am terminally ill and collapsed, and the prince is young~ What should I do with the Ming Dynasty~" Zhu Yujian was already in tears, and the ministers below also cried bitterly.In the middle of the sound, Zhu Yujian stabilized his mood again, looked at the few people kneeling on the ground, and suddenly called: "Du Qing, Gao Qing, Jiang Qing, and success, the four of you come forward." ”The four of them, Gao Yinxi, Gao Yigong, Jiang Yueguang, and Zheng Chenggong, immediately knelt in front of the bed.Zhu Yujian said: "You four, count Jin Shenghuan!"
Although he fled back to Jiangxi, now that the court has been defeated, he must rely on him.I want to order you and the other five to be auxiliary ministers, and entrust the prince to you, and you must ensure that the prince is well-protected!
”"Your Majesty!"
A few people understood that this was supporting the orphan, and couldn't help crying and kowtowing, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body, you will definitely be able to make a comeback!"
”Zhu Yujian shook his head and waved his hand to the rest of the people: "You wait to retreat first!"
”After a short time, there were only five monarchs and ministers left in the room, Zhu Yujian took the hand of Du Yinxi, "People are dying and their words are good, I have suffered a loss to Qing before, and I hope that Qing will not be resentful, and must try his best to assist the prince."
After the collapse, the military and political affairs of the imperial court were headed by Qing!
If the rebels press the border, the Qing family thinks that the prince is smart and has the appearance of an emperor, so they can ask Wu Sangui and Li Dingguo for help.If Wu Sangui does not send troops, and the prince is stubborn, then please ask the Qing family to ensure the safety of the prince and let him sit as an idle prince~" This defeat has knocked out all of Zhu Yujian's confidence, and there is not much hope for the Longwu court to turn over.Although he also wanted the prince to be able to defeat Zhao Ming in the future and avenge him, reason told him that the chance was very slim, but he was not willing to give up, so he still hoped that the five ministers could assist him wholeheartedly.Gu Yinxi cried bitterly, and hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best to assist the prince, and please take care of the dragon's body!"
”Zhu Yujian called Gao Yigong and Zheng Chenggong to step forward, also held the hands of the two, and cried in a mournful voice: "I want to level the world with Qing and others, prosper the Ming Dynasty, and establish the foundation of eternity.In the future, the road will be difficult, so the prince will please. ”Zheng Chenggong and Gao Yigong hurriedly kowtowed, "The minister's liver and brain are smeared to repay Your Majesty!"
”Zhu Yujian suddenly said: "He Tengjiao is mediocre and incompetent, and he likes dictatorship to seize power.After the collapse, he will seize power.The four of you returned to Wuchang with a large army, and when you took the opportunity to trick them out of the city, they panicked and said that I would trust them with state affairs, and then wait for the opportunity to get rid of them~" Zhu Yujian coughed again, "Except for He Tengjiao, integrate Huguang, the rebels dare not despise it~" At the moment, Zhu Yujian asked people to summon all the ministers and generals to come in, and told the civil and military officials in person that they had entrusted the five ministers to the five ministers, and everything was arranged by the five ministers, and then retreated from everyone.It was night, Zhu Yujian couldn't help but look back on the past, reflect on his mistakes, obviously able to recognize people, but he couldn't appoint them well, resulting in the current situation, and couldn't help but regret it.In the middle of the night, Zhu Yujian vomited three liters of blood, and after a while, he shouted "Da Ming!"
Da Ming!
Da Ming!
”, and after a while, he cried bitterly and said bluntly, "I'm sorry for my ancestors and ancestors!"
”"I don't have the face to see Taizu underground!"
After tossing for most of the night, Zhu Yujian finally failed to stay up until dawn, and collapsed at dawn on February 21, the fifteenth year of Longwu, at the age of 56.Zhu Yujian died, blocking Yinxi and others to be sad, but they didn't dare to make a noise and strictly sealed the news.On the same day, Gu Yinxi, Jiang Yueguang, Gao Yigong, and Zheng Chenggong led hundreds of civil and military officials and set off to return to Wuchang, leaving the general Li Laiheng to guard Anqing and defend against the attack of the Han army.()
