Bring the whole war back to Nanming

Chapter 75 The Easiest Qing Emperor in History
One day after the Yangzhou incident, the Nanjing imperial court received news and after repeated inquiries, it was finally confirmed that Ma Shiying and Huang Degong had basically been killed.

The [-]-man army was forcibly split up by Fang Xiaobai and scattered into various thousand-man teams. The entire Yangzhou barracks was packed with tents and weapons in full swing, and it seemed that they were about to march out.

Emperor Hongguang, who was in Nanjing, was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew the letter and asked Fang Xiaobai what he wanted to do with such a big move!

However, the letter seemed to sink into the sea.Yangzhou is the northern gateway to Nanjing City, and any changes will surely come to the city within a day.

There was no longer any large army stationed in Nanjing, and only [-] "elite" "elites" "surrendered to the enemy and rebelled" remained in the Beijing camp. In the city, there were only police officers and soldiers guarding the gate to maintain law and order.

Lord Hongguang waited in fear for two days, and finally received Fang Xiaobai's response, but this response made them desperate: Fang Xiaobai wants to clear the king's side!

In the court hall of Nanjing, civil and military officials were separated on both sides. Ever since Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa and others died successively, Qian Qianyi, who had been suppressed by all parties, dragged his sick body to Yangzhou on the second day, and insisted on returning to Nanjing city despite Huang Zongxi's obstruction. I was thinking of pleading guilty to His Majesty when I got better, but there was another wave of unrest.

When his condition began to improve, he heard that the Yangzhou Incident had killed two dignitaries, Ma Shiying and Huang Degong.

As the saying goes, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys dominate!As the leader of Donglin, Qian Qianyi was dragged into the cabinet by Emperor Hongguang in such a critical situation and became the head of civil servants.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was lifeless, and everyone wanted to go down early and go home to pack up the gold and silver and run away.

Emperor Hongguang sat on the throne that symbolized the Ninth Five-Year Lord, with a sad face on his face: He thought Yangzhou would be fine if he defeated the Tartars, and half of his own country would always be stable, but he didn't expect that Porupp, whom he personally sealed, wanted to rebel!

Looking at the wandering ministers in the palace, he couldn't help sighing: "Qian Aiqing, as the head of all officials, don't you say a few words?"

Qian Qianyi stepped out of the sequence and saluted slightly to Emperor Hongguang who was sitting on the throne: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Porubo's move must have been bewitched by a treacherous villain. You only need to move it with emotion and understand it with reason. The old minister believes Porupp will still return."

Emperor Hongguang also went to the doctor in an emergency. Seeing that Qian Qianyi had a solution, he hurriedly said, "Give me a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I don't know how Qian Aiqing can make that Fang Xiaobai retreat?"

Facing Emperor Hongguang's inquiry, Qian Qianyi replied calmly: "Your Majesty, there is a way, but your Majesty needs to suffer some grievances."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Emperor Hongguang was aroused by his words, his eyes lit up, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Actually, His Majesty only needs to wipe out all the eunuchs in the court and send them to Po Rubo, and the old minister will have no excuse to continue going south if he wants to break Rubo."

In terms of shamelessness, Qian Qianyi dared to say that he was second, and no one dared to say that he was first. As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

The eunuch forces immediately launched a counterattack. Ruan Dacheng was the leader of the eunuch party and had a close friendship with the dead Ma Shiying. He immediately stood up and accused Qian Qianyi.

"I heard that Mr. Qian is recuperating at home these days. Could it be that he is so ill and confused that he can even say such lurid words! I am like a minister of the court, so what do you say about eunuchs? Could it be that Mr. Qian and I have feelings for you?" Dissatisfied, take this opportunity to get rid of it quickly?"

"Nonsense! Master Ruan, don't spout blood!"

"Whether what I said is true, Mr. Qian knows well~"

The two talked to each other, and they quarreled on the spot. The officials of the Donglin Party were suppressed by Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying, and they had deep grievances. They took this opportunity to immediately criticize the eunuchs.

Ever since, the scolding war between the two escalated into a scolding war between two factions, and the hall became a vegetable market. Emperor Hongguang wanted to dissuade him, but he felt helpless.

Under the indulgence of Emperor Hongguang, the situation intensified. In the end, Ruan Dacheng let out a roar, and more than a dozen soldiers came up from outside the hall, and struck the Donglin Party crowd with their scabbards, separating the two groups of people.

"Ruan Dacheng! Are you planning to rebel?"

Qian Qianyi was so dumbstruck that he didn't expect that Ruan Dacheng dared to use the army in the court. There is nothing he can't do for such a generation without king and father!

Ruan Dacheng, who was sure of winning, no longer worried about the rules of the court, and grabbed Qian Qianyi by the collar: "Didn't Fang Xiaobai want to be sided by Qing Jun? I, Ruan Dacheng, will clean up you first!"

Hundreds of Donglin officials were driven out of the main hall by the soldiers and thrown into the dungeon.

Emperor Hongguang was stunned. He never thought that things would turn out to this extent. As an emperor, he was actually ignored by his courtiers!

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there are still [-] soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city of Nanjing. In two days, I can gather an army of [-] to fight Xiaobai to the death!"

Is it better to say that those who don't know him are fearless?Or is he a frog in a well?Emperor Hongguang seemed to be ten years old at once: "Leave the matter of city defense to Master Ruan. I'm tired, so let's step down."

He knew that even if he stopped him, he couldn't dispel Ruan Dacheng's idea of ​​sending him to death, so he could only follow his will.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

As the eunuch retreated, the eunuchs happily walked out of the imperial city, praising themselves for how they were at that time.

In an inconspicuous corner, Zhu Dadian, who is currently the Minister of the Ministry of War, is frowning. Unlike his colleagues, he knows very well that once Fang Xiaobai's army approaches the city, Ruan Dacheng will definitely be the first to run away.

Everyone is smart, the defenders in Nanjing city are not well trained, their weapons are outdated, and their morale is low.

"No, I have to contact Poruper, and I can't let Ruan Dacheng lead us to die together!"

While everyone was not paying attention, Zhu Dadian walked into the alley, took a shortcut and ran home, repaired a letter, handed it to his cronies, and asked him to rush to the Yangtze River Ferry to meet Fang Xiaobai.

The situation in Nanjing changed. The Yangzhou [-] imperial army brought [-] death squads from the original Beijing battalion, marched out of the city gate, crossed the Yangtze River all the way south, and set up positions at the Jiangnan Wharf to prevent the Ming army from suddenly attacking.

But it was obvious that Fang Xiaobai was worrying too much, and even the old, weak, sick and disabled of the Ming army came to make a surprise attack, and they were considered warriors if they could stay in the city and not run away!
Fang Xiaobai and Josperis were eating a steaming lunch in the main tent, and their eyes glanced at the hanging Jiangnan situation map.

"Yosparis, we are approaching Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. I guess the court of the Ming Dynasty is in chaos, right?"

"Although I don't completely agree with your point of view, judging from the previous performance of Ming people, more than 80.00% of them are."

The two seemed very optimistic and firmly believed in the outcome of the battle.Who would have thought that in just a few months since traveling, his power has become so strong that it can overwhelm the entire Jiangnan.

Whether it's He Tengjiao, who dominates Huguang, or Zheng Zhilong, who dominates Zhejiang and Fujian, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.

"My lord! Someone from Nanjing is here, and they say they have important matters to see you, can you see me?"

A guard's inquiry came from outside the main tent.
