Chapter 144: The Heroes of the Ming Dynasty
Immediately afterwards, Zhongyong Hou led the first place in the Beijing camp and three or two armies boarded the ship to Jiangbei...
Including most of the Gaudeje Iron Cavalry Camp.
Only five hundred cavalry and two newly formed tax police teams were left in Nanjing.
The rest were those who were originally guarding Nanjing and those who were still in the Beijing camp were selected by the soldiers of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled guards.
At this time, Li Chengdong was already at Liuhe.
But the reputation of Zhongyong Hou is indeed enough. After learning that Yang Qing personally led his army across the river, Li Chengdong retreated to Tianchang as quickly as possible to meet with the subsequent main force of Li Benshen. Yang Qing and Song Quan entered Liuhe and counterattacked Tianchang northward. But on the same day, Bai Yongfu occupied Gaoyou with the cooperation of the gentry of Gaoyou, and Ma Shiying was still watching the wall. In fact, in a sense, he was staring at the back of these rebels to prevent the Shun army from taking advantage of the fire.
It can also be regarded as guarding this key line of defense for the Ming Dynasty.
After all, internal strife is not something that Li Zicheng can take advantage of.
Huang Fei shrank his defense line and retreated into Yangzhou to defend.
This is surprising. After all, he has 40,000 elite soldiers under his command, so he can go out to Yangzhou to fight Bai Yongfu.
Although Cao Youyi received the order to serve the king on the same day, because his main force was at various passes in the Dabie Mountains to prevent the rebels from attacking in Huguang, it would take at least four days to arrive.
At this time, the war in Huguang was not over.
Huang Degong and Ma Jinzhong had just taken back Chengtian, but they actually didn't fight much.
After learning that Zuo Liangyu died, Jin Shenghuan immediately abandoned Chengtian and retreated to Xiangyang, but he still controlled the three places of Xiangsuizao, and he had no intention of surrendering. According to Yang Qing, he probably had to be on the line with Tian Jianxiu in the north. Just as Yang Qing had previously guessed that Li Zicheng would do if Sichuan got it. Tian Jianxiu secretly supported Jin Shenghuan and even sent Shun army to change vests to join Jin Shenghuan's subordinates. Then he used Jin Shenghuan to control Xiangyang, a strategic hub for southwards. When Li Zicheng wanted to attack Jiangnan, Jin Shenghuan immediately surrendered publicly and led the army down the Han River.
Next, the task of Huang Degong, Ma Jinzhong and Cao Youyi was to pull out this dangerous nail.
As for Zhang Mingzhen, he was also unable to rush back.
His navy carried a 50,000 army with 10,000 Guanning Army as the core. He is currently heading to Yueyang, and then heading south to Changsha to meet with Wang Zhiren, who is attacking by land, and makes the final blow to Zuo Menggeng and Wang Yuncheng who fled to Changsha. The latter has been beaten into a frightened bird by the Second Army of the Beijing Camp, and there will be no fierce battle.
But this is normal.
If the chaos in Nanjing cannot end as soon as possible, it is difficult to guarantee whether there will be any accidents there. After all, Li Qiande, the governor of Panyuan, and King Gui are still in Hengyang. If they delay here for a long time, they will have other thoughts and eventually cooperate with Zuo Menggeng, it will be difficult for Zhang Mingzhen and Wang Zhiren to take Changsha in a short time. Then it will be a bit troublesome if they join forces with King Jingjiang in Guangxi. If the war in Xianggui is not done well, it will be a disaster. If Yang Qing announces his plan to deal with the royal family, if possible, King Gui and King Jingjiang will definitely have to resist.
In short, because of Chongzhen's death, the Ming Dynasty suddenly fell into a crisis-ridden chaos.
Of course, these are trivial matters.
Yang Qing didn't take these enemies seriously at all.
His goal was to the nobles in Nanjing from beginning to end. If he took them down, his sky suddenly became clear. As long as he killed nearly twenty fat pigs, silver, land, people's hearts, etc., it would undoubtedly be perfect if he could take the opportunity to bring the civil service system into it.
But this may be a bit difficult.
Those civil servants are very cunning. If there are nobles, they may not be able to get trapped.
night.
Funing Marquis Mansion.
Under the blooming magnolia tree, a man-dressed beauty is playing the piano. The quiet moonlight shines on her face, as if she is flawless as CG quality. The melodious piano sound echoes in the tranquility of the night. In this piano sound, she sang in the voice of a woman, with a high-pitched singing with the spirit of golden swords and iron horses...
"The world of heroes are endless. Sun Zhongmou is in the dance hall and singing platform. The wind is always blown away by the rain and wind. The setting sun is grass and trees, ordinary fields, and human beings say that the slaves once lived. I remember that in those days, the golden swords and iron horses were like tigers. Yuanjia grass, sealed wolf residences, and won the northwest. Forty-three years, I still remember the beacons and roads of Yangzhou. It is worth looking back. Under the Buddha's temple, there is a piece of divine crows and drums. Who asked, Lian Po is old, can he still eat?"
"I'm so old, can I still have sex? I'm not yet at Lian Po's age. How can I swallow my anger when I'm humiliated by this family and country? My Zhu family and the country are together, and I can't let that eunuch dog chasing the court anymore."
Zhu Guobi slapped the table and said.
Because he shouted too loudly, he accidentally pulled the wound in his mouth again. Then he covered his face and sniffed. The beauty in the men's clothing who was playing the piano looked at his pig's head with no objection. Then she threw the guqin in front of her to the ground, stood up and pulled out the sword from her waist, and cut off a branch as thick as a thumb next to her with a graceful posture.
"Mr. Marquis, it's time to go to war!"
She held the sword and said to Zhu Guobi.
Zhu Guobi was about to stand up with a passionate face, but at this moment, a noble lady of about the same age as him rushed over under the maid, and then rushed towards the beauty like a tigress.
"You bitch, bitch, do you want to destroy our Zhu family?"
She cried and scratched her face as she slashed over.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen women of different ages were coming, wailing at the beauty one by one, and some people rushed over to hug Zhu Guobi and refused to let him go. Although the beauty in men was not a weak figure, she couldn't hold back the wolves. Besides, although she had a sword in her hand, she could not really cut off people. She could not break free for a while. In the blink of an eye, her clothes were torn to pieces and her hair were torn apart. The image of a fairy who was originally cold and cold as if she was not as hot as a worldly fireworks instantly turned into a shrew who was torn on the street.
"Enough, don't make trouble!"
Zhu Guobi roared like an outburst.
"Master, don't listen to this little prostitute. This bitch wants to destroy our Funing Marquis Mansion! We can't fight against Zhongyong Marquis!"
The woman who was the first to do something rushed over and cried and said.
Then the other concubines rushed up to attack Zhu Guobi.
"White Gate?"
Zhu Guobi looked at the beauty in men's clothing pitifully.
The latter was covering the torn clothes. The tigress sinisterly tore open her chest, even revealing a large piece. However, she was calm and just looked at Zhu Guobi with contempt. But this look alone was enough. This look made the blood on Zhu Guobi's body burn instantly. He stood up with a red face, raised his foot and kicked Mrs. Funing Hou down, and then reached out to grab the falling sword...
"Get out, men do things, women shut up!"
He roared like Zhu Yong, the ancestor who was riding on the battlefield back then.
Those women were shocked by his domineering aura and were stunned. They watched their men pull out their swords in a daze. Kou Baimen showed a hint of praise, and also tidied up their messy hair, wiped off the blood marks scratched by the marquis on their faces, and walked side by side with the sword and Zhu Guobi as if a couple of reunions. When they went out, Zhu Guobi took the helmet handed over by the house slaves, and then walked straight to the front yard with the marquis and concubines behind him as the crying of the marquis and the concubines behind him.
When he arrived at the front yard, hundreds of domestic slaves had already completed their armed forces.
There were even more than 200 guys who were quite fierce at first sight. The leader greedily glanced at the stunning beauty that even the men's clothing of Kou Baimen could not be concealed.
"Mr. Marquis!"
He stepped forward and bowed and said.
"Yi Shi Hu, I hope you and your brothers will share the wealth and honor with you after you achieve your career tonight!"
Zhu Guobi said.
"The Marquis looks down on us, the marquis, so our lives are the Marquis. My two hundred brothers under Hu Chao are willing to go through fire and water for the Marquis!"
The man said.
Well, this is the bandits who bought it.
By the way, Zhu Guobi definitely cannot expect his servants to have too strong combat power. There are bandits in the mountains and forests in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are no shortage of water thieves in Taihu Lake. The way is not worth mentioning for people of their identities. Looking for some thugs is nothing more than spending some money. As for getting into the city, it is a trivial matter. After all, they are a family that has been here for a hundred years. As long as they are willing, there is nothing they can't get in.
"Let's go, eliminate traitors for the country, eliminate harm for the people, kill all the eunuchs, support King Fu ascends the throne, and give us a bright world in the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Guobi said with great enthusiasm.
The bandits and slaves raised their weapons and shouted weakly. At the same time, the slaves carried boxes of gold directly out. They said that they were going to be born and die. Naturally, they could bring less burdens on their bodies. The Funing Hou family had money and didn't bother to use silver for rewards. Let's just take the gold, and each person would take five taels of gold first, and then get more after the matter was completed.
Speaking of which, the morale, which was originally a bit sluggish, suddenly soared.
"Walk!"
Taking advantage of the high morale, Zhu Guobi turned over and waved his sword and said.
Koubaimen next to him also got on the horse.
The two walked side by side again, and led the army out of the Marquis' Mansion and headed straight for the palace. In the Xiangcheng Bo Mansion, which was not far away, a large number of domestic slaves surrounded Xiangcheng Bo Chang Yingjun and rushed out. The two teams quickly gathered together and continued to move forward. Then Zhao Zhilong's grandson Zhao Chengfu, who avenged his grandfather, also rode a horse and brought a large number of domestic slaves and bribed thugs to join...
Under the cover of night, an army of slaves, bribed bandits, and rogues poured out from the luxurious mansions. Under the leadership of hereditary nobles who lived with the country, they gradually gathered into an army of more than 10,000 people and rushed to the imperial city.
The target is directly aimed at the right gate of Chang'an in the imperial city.
Their goal was very simple. They attacked the palace and controlled Zhang Yan and Princess Kunxing as quickly as possible, and then forced them to order Yang Qing to insult the empress dowager, coerce the princess, and falsely spread the emperor's will, and called on generals from all over the country to quickly fight the king and kill the thief. Then they used the previous year to use the large number of artillery and slave troops placed on the city wall to defend Nanjing until those who fought for the king arrived.
