Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 194
A very strange situation occurred in the Battle of Jiangning, that is, the Ming army entered the outer city and bombarded the inner city wall on Zhongshan Mountain, basically destroying the city wall.The two thousand and eight banner soldiers were all fried until golden and tender, and they looked like no one anyway.Nearly [-] green battalion soldiers huddled in Jiangning City, as if they could not see the city wall, which could no longer provide them with any protection.And the Ming army didn't know what to do in Waiguo, anyway, they didn't attack the city.

Bai Mingxiu, who started to eat battlefield hot pot at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, also had a strange expression when talking about this situation.He sandwiched a piece of mutton, boiled it in a copper pot for a few seconds, dipped it in sesame sauce mixed with chives, fermented bean curd, garlic and soy sauce, chewed it deliciously, and said: "This Lang Tingzuo is also interesting, no Fighting, discord, not defending, not dying, not surrendering, not going away, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, can be called a spectacle."

Sitting opposite Bai Mingxiu, Sister Lion used a pair of particularly delicate ceramic chopsticks. She chewed her meals slowly and was very ladylike. She chuckled softly, "I can't beat you, let alone surrender. After all He has been on the Tartar ship for too long, and this kind of person dare not die, but if he leads the troops to withdraw, the Qing government will definitely be held accountable, which is why the current situation of the six no-governors has arisen."

Bai Mingxiu was in a happy mood after eating hot pot and called to others: "Give me the four treasures of the study, and I will give Lang Tingzuo a calligraphy collection."

After that, someone cleaned up the copper pots and bowls and chopsticks on his small table, spread out white paper, and brought pens, ink, paper and inkstones.Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's literary talent is not very popular, his calligraphy is already famous in the southern countries, especially the inscriptions dedicated to the robbery of Geng Yin have been copied by many literati.Before time travel, Bai Mingxiu was from a scholarly family. He practiced handwriting since he was a child. After time travel, he doesn't know if he has the bonus of mysterious power. His calligraphy is even more beautiful.Bai Mingxiu was good at writing running script. Many people at the time praised His Royal Highness's running script as "muscles are strong but bones are straight, round and freehand, or dragons and snakes walk, or look forward to their own majesty, the meaning is true, divine and beautiful, which is rare in contemporary times."

Some people even compare the calligraphy of His Royal Highness with Zhao Mengfu, Dong Qichang and others, not knowing whether it is out of flattery, as if he really has become a great calligrapher.

Bai Mingxiu writes as he talks, he is not pretentious, let alone rigid, he writes a few big characters on the paper as soon as he picks up the pen - no war, no peace, no defense, no death, no surrender, no departure, these six Not Governor, die laughing.

He didn't write any amazing poems at all, just a plain laughing death. On the contrary, at the end of the writing, the two big characters laughing to death really seemed to be a person laughing, and the irony almost jumped from the paper. come out.

Bai Mingxiu said: "Let it dry, and I will find a prisoner of the Qing soldiers to carry it to the city and give it to Lang Tingzuo, so that Lang Tingzuo can frame it and hang it on the wall. Well, he probably won't be able to do it in a few days." If you appreciate it, let him see more."

That night, a panicked prisoner of the Qing soldiers actually sent this painting by Bai Mingxiu to the city of Nanjing.Lang Tingzuo couldn't sleep well all night, he heard a letter from the Ming army outside the city, so he hurried to read it, only to see such a picture.

Lang Tingzuo's face was so red that it was about to explode, looking at this fresh copybook, he almost exploded with hatred and wanted to tear the words apart.But Lang Tingzuo didn't have the guts to do so, not only because the word was written with sincerity and elegance, it was a work of art.Also because the person who wrote this word was Nanming Prince Jian Guo, he could not afford to offend.

The servant next to him asked: "My lord, is this word really framed?"

Lang Tingzuo struggled mentally for a long time, but still sighed: "Frame it up, put it away."

This slap hit him firmly in the face, but Lang Tingzuo had to let Bai Mingxiu slap him without hesitation.At this moment, he was genuinely terrified, the reputation of His Royal Highness Zhu Cixuan was too terrifying, wherever he went, he would be killed very bloody.Originally, Lang Tingzuo thought that their Qing army was already extremely brutal, killing common people was enough to make people panic.Unexpectedly, the Prince of Nanming treats the common people very well, but he has no patience with these Tartars.

For such a long time, I haven't heard of any Qing soldiers in the banner who survived the war with Nanming.The Prince of Nanming loved human heads very much, and when he saw the heads of the Tartars, he would inevitably be very excited. He insisted on cutting them off, and placing them neatly in the earth pit, with a headstone on it.

Speaking of which, the Prince Nanming has already built five first-level monuments and killed tens of thousands of Tartars.

Lang Tingzuo himself is a Han army inlaid yellow banner, not a Manchu but a bannerman.He is not a second official either, it was his father Lang Xizai who took refuge in the wild boar Pinurhachi back then, and he has always been a clean official.According to the standards of His Royal Highness, he, Lang Tingzuo, is no different from a tartar, and he will be beheaded.

"Is this Jiangning unstoppable?" Lang Tingzuo felt depressed. He also knew that his six actions would not benefit the situation at all. From time to time, there was also hope, and he felt that he might be saved when reinforcements came.

Just need to replicate the success of that year.

However, Zhongshan’s bombardment destroyed more than 2000 of Kakamu’s entire army, and almost none of the bannermen escaped back. Lang Tingzuo knew that with such an attack capability, even tens of thousands of reinforcements would not be enough to fight Nanming’s crown prince. .He also has information, knowing that the Ming army has at least [-] soldiers, and only a few hundred are attacking the city now.If the reinforcements from the Ming army came quickly, then he would not have to mention sticking to it.

Under such psychological construction, Lang Tingzuo finally decided to withdraw from Jiangning, lead the remaining Qing army to withdraw from Ximen, preserve the vitality, and make plans with other Qing troops.

About [-] Qing troops left Nanjing in the middle of the night after observing that there was no movement of Guo Ming's army after a day of preparation.

Lang Tingzuo was sitting on his horse, looking back at the city that had brought him great glory, and was speechless.

The Qing army had just left the city not far away, and suddenly there was a burst of loud and clear bugles from all around.

The sound of gunshots and shouts of killing suddenly broke the tranquility of the night.

"It's an ambush by the Ming army!" Lang Tingzuo was shocked. He had clearly told the people below to do a reconnaissance and confirmed that there was no problem on the route to the west. Why did the Ming army ambush them here.

Originally, the Qing army withdrew from the city to avoid the attack of the Ming army, and their morale was quite low. This time they were directly ambushed by the Ming army, and they dared not even fight.In the night, they couldn't tell how many people there were in the Ming army, but they heard the continuous sound of gunfire and artillery, and people were constantly being killed.

One blow will collapse, nothing more than that!
