Chapter 790 Nanjing Shocking Catherine, the future princess of the Nile, her watery eyes flashed with a bright light.She was too young to understand many words.She and Quan Xu still have some recognition, while Quan Xu and the ministers are discussing important matters, she quietly slipped to Helena's side, and said crisply: "Mom, let's go, that person is very bad, I thought I would never call him dad again!"
”"No, you have to call him Daddy, there's no way to change it!"
Helena picked up Jingjing Rou and squatted slightly: "My Royal Highness Princess Nile, you don't know what a great gift your father has given you!"
”"What gift?"
Jingjing Rou looked dazed."
Nile Delta!""
The Nile Delta?
What is this thing, is it delicious?
”In Panorama Rou, and also in Catherine's eyes, the most important thing is to eat or not to eat, to eat or not to eat.As smart as Helena didn't know how to explain it at the moment.In short, Helena was very lucky.Although she didn't get Quan Xu's promise to buy a new type of artillery from the Ming Dynasty, she got unexpected results.Whatever the Ottomans should have come to the Ming Emperor's request, war or peace, it was a good thing for the Republic of Venice City-State.In fact, just as Quanxu was discussing with the cabinet ministers about the trivial matter of rewarding the princess, a radio wave was transmitted from Nanjing to Beijing.It turned out that as early as five hours ago, Zhang Xianzhong, who was taken in by Hong Chengchou, served as a good baby under Hong Chengchou for more than a year, and even this time Hong Chengchou's army of more than 200,000 horses surrounded Nanjing, Zhang Xianzhong also led more than 10,000 troops to transport grain, grass and materials in the form of baggage troops, and followed the troops.As early as a day ago, Zhang Xianzhong secretly convened the old ministry and prepared for an incident.Of course, Zhang Xianzhong did not want to betray Hong Chengchou, but took advantage of Hong Chengchou's absence in Nanjing to go to Beijing.Jointly with He Renlong, Zuo Guangxian, Cao Bianjiao, Ai Wannian, Liu Guozhen, Du Wenhuan, Wei Shiming, Gui Yingqing and other generals to discuss the matter.Zhang Xianzhong's posture was very low, and he asked He Renlong as he opened his mouth: "He Shuai, usually you have the most ideas, you tell me, what should I do now?"
”To say that He Renlong, who is extremely brave in battle, often takes the lead, and is known as He Maniac, he is a famous tiger general in the era of cold weapons, if you want to say that he has many ideas, it is really to promote him.Of course, everyone loves good words.Zhang Xianzhong is a thief and handsome, when he has many subordinates, as many as 100,000 and nearly 200,000 troops, he is actually very happy to be so complimented by Zhang Xianzhong.Zuo Guang was first the seventh brother of Zuo Guangdou, the leader of the Donglin Party, and later because of Zuo Guangdou's accident, he resigned from the position of Jianning Zhixian County.Later, he was introduced by Hong Chengchou as a staff member and became a military counselor.He Renlong bowed directly and said: "I can't use my brains for this matter, I still need Mr.
Zuo for this matter!"
”Zuo Guangxian muttered: "Zuo doesn't understand what General Zhang means!"
”"Where do I go from here?"
Zhang Xianzhong pointed to the city wall of Nanjing City and said: "Pointing to these people in the city, we have no way out, now I heard that Wang Weizhang, the governor of Sichuan, has secretly gone north, if it is not bad, Governor Wang must have voted north!"
”"Don't talk nonsense!"
Before He Renlong could speak, Zuo Guang asked first, "Do you have any evidence?"
”"I heard that the Minister of Industry in the north is equivalent to the original Ministry of Industry and Cabinet Minister Wang Weiwen, but the Yuan Cong in the north, can you still ask about this?
We don't have any of us to be the brother of the Cabinet Minister!
”Zhang Xianzhong's words made the generals start to think.Everyone is thinking about their own way out.Zuo Guangxian sighed and said, "I really envy Sun Boya!"
”Sun Boya is Sun Chuanting's expression.When Zuo Guang mentioned Sun Chuanting first, the generals' minds became lively.In fact, even if Zuo Guangxian didn't talk about Sun Chuanting, Zhang Xianzhong would bring it up, after all, Sun Chuanting was also a role model for all of them.If you want to say that Sun Chuanting is Quan Xu's confidant, no one will believe this, in fact, even if a new dynasty is built, Sun Chuanting was transferred to the capital, entered the cabinet, and served as the Minister of Justice.This is not that Quan Xu is afraid of him, but he needs to use his strengths, after all, when Sun Chuanting was the governor of Shaanxi, he followed Quan Xu's example to recover the gentry's tax arrears, as well as the problem of violating laws and disciplines.To say that a person like Sun Chuanting, in the Ming Dynasty of the Zhu family, had no chance to enter the cabinet at all, and as a result, he not only became the governor of a province from the position of prefect, but also transferred to Beijing.All the generals vaguely understood what Zhang Xianzhong wanted to do at this time."
Surnamed Zhang, what do you want to do?""
I didn't want to do anything!"
Zhang Xianzhong raised his hands and said with a pretended aggrieved face: "Usually I have a bit of a ghost idea, if you want to play with women and make fun, I have an idea, this is such a big deal, what idea can I have?"
”Cao Bianjiao grabbed Zhang Xianzhong's collar and said: "Although Inspector Hong is going north, if you invite us to come here today, the Inspector will definitely know about this matter, you think about the result, even if you pretend to be cowardly, you won't be able to pass the Inspector's level!"
”Zhang Xianzhong looked at Cao Bianjiao's words and said this, and everyone else didn't dare to take the lead, and found the leader in this matter.After all, they can't figure out Quan Xu's true intentions, if they really learn from Sun Chuanting, capture Nanjing, and hold Nanjing civil and military officials hostage to surrender to Quan Xu, then I really don't know whether the future will be a blessing or a curse.However, once Hong Chengchou is investigated, the leader will definitely be investigated.Zhang Xianzhong actually dared to be sure of this matter, once it was done, it would be a great credit to the imperial court, even if he couldn't enter Beijing like Sun Chuanting and enter the cabinet, he could also retreat with his whole body.In the Ming Dynasty, how beautiful is it to be a rich man?
Zhang Xianzhong looked at the generals and said, "Why is Nanjing in the hands of those people?"
They can negotiate with the north with the people of the Nanjing court, why don't we do it ourselves?
”"Do it yourself?""
Otherwise, we will drive all the rebels and thieves out of the capital, seal up all the warehouses, put down our weapons and take off our armor, and then hide among the common people to see if we can get through the customs?""
Don't dream!
For these things we have done, the people have long hated us, as long as we dare to lay down our weapons, we will be torn alive by the people in the next moment!
”Zhang Xianzhong clapped his hands and said: "It's a man who gives a happy word, do it or not!"
”"It's done!"
After some futile discussion, these guys were frustrated to find that even if they caught so many old kings who were specifically blocking Quan Xu, their lives were still unstable, and Quan Xu's iron fist might still fall and smash them to the point that there were no bones left!
However, having Nanjing and the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty in hand, and not having Nanjing City and those bastards in hand, is completely different.As Zhang Xianzhong finished discussing with the generals, the ministries began to take the lead and go back to arrange.Three hours ago, Zhang Xianzhong and other generals under the command of Hong Chengchou, who surrounded Nanjing City, launched a surprise attack on Nanjing City.However, at this time, the safety of Nanjing City was related to their net worth and life, and he did not dare to slack off, for this reason, he was on guard for a long time, and the sudden attack of Zhang Xianzhong and others did not achieve unexpected results except for causing some trouble to Xu Hongji.The two sides launched a fierce exchange of fire under the city of Nanjing, if the army attacking the city of Nanjing at this time was Quanxu's whole army, Xu Hongji had no will to resist, and the soldiers defending the city did not want to defend it.But the problem is that Hong Chengchou's command marched from Xiangyang to Nanjing, from Jianghuai to Nanjing, like locusts, and copied the gentry and landlords everywhere they passed.If these troops were allowed to enter the city of Nanjing, not to mention that the families of these soldiers would not be able to be saved, no one would be spared.Neither side was afraid of anyone, and a fierce fire duel was launched.Shells flew through the air, lead and arrows rained down, and from time to time soldiers on both sides died on or under the walls.Seeing that Quan Xu's cabinet meeting will not be over for a while and a half, but this matter will not work if you don't report it to Quan Xu.In desperation, Su Yin had no choice but to hand over the news to Xiao Huangmen and transfer it to Quan Xu.Quan Xu glanced at the news, and then continued to talk about the Ottoman Empire and the Ming Expedition as if he hadn't seen it.It's not that Quan Xu doesn't care, but he can't manage it.In the Ming Dynasty, the Royal Navy had no plans to attack the city of Nanjing, but even the nearest soldiers were in Wusongkou, and Yan Yingyuan had only one brigade under his command.But the problem is that Yan Yingyuan's command did not complete the refitting like other royal armies, this brigade belongs to the coastal defense brigade, and the entire Wusongkou garrison brigade has various types of batteries, a total of twenty-seven, and a total of fifty-two artillery pieces of various types, this is an artillery composite brigade.There was only one garrison regiment for pure infantry.No matter how much Quan Xu ignored the combat effectiveness of the Nanming army, it was impossible to send Yan Yingyuan to Nanjing, right?
Fifteen or six hundred infantry, will it solve the problem if it goes?
Besides, these soldiers can't fly either?
Quan Xu decided to leave the decision to Yan Yingyuan, and if he decided that he was willing to go to Nanjing and solve the Nanjing crisis, he would let him go, if he didn't want to.This caused the Second Fleet to send its navy up the Yangtze River.But the problem is that Yan Yingyuan's command did not complete the refitting like other royal armies, this brigade belongs to the coastal defense brigade, and the entire Wusongkou garrison brigade has various types of batteries, a total of twenty-seven, and a total of fifty-two artillery pieces of various types, this is an artillery composite brigade.There was only one garrison regiment for pure infantry.No matter how much Quan Xu ignored the combat effectiveness of the Nanming army, it was impossible to send Yan Yingyuan to Nanjing, right?
