At that time, Zhao Ming, Yan Yingyuan and Chen Minghui defended Jiangyin together, and more than 100,000 Qing troops were besieged for several months but they had not captured it.

If there are troops in the city, they will defend themselves on the city and defend against the enemy for several months, it is not uncommon.

The key was that the Ming army in Jiangnan surrendered to the Qing army at that time, and there were only a group of villagers in Jiangyin City.

This is a bit scary.

When Zhao Ming heard that Yan Yingyuan secretly returned to the Ming Dynasty, his heart suddenly became shaking.

Zhao Ming was still a little scared of such a ruthless person who was unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness and did not take his life seriously.

Originally, what was gathered in Nanjing was just a group of mobs, and Zhao Ming did not take it seriously, but if Yan Yingyuan entered the city, it would be troublesome.

Zhao Ming immediately stood up and said seriously: "Send the order, the army will set off and prepare to return to Yangzhou!"

Wang Yi was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Yan Yingyuan made the Regent change his attitude.

"Your Highness, is this Yan Yingyuan so scary?" Wang Yi said.

"Wanxun, you guard Xuzhou for the sake of the will of the world and monitor Luoyang!" Zhao Ming explained, and then sighed: "That's Yan Yingyuan! If he enters Nanjing, those people will be very motivated!"

The next day, Zhao Ming led the army along the canal to Yangzhou.

At this time, Zhao Ming stood at the bow of the ship, and the soldiers and horses on both sides spread for more than ten miles, moving forward in a mighty manner.

"Although the royal family spent a lot of money and gathered a lot of people, they were uneven and they would definitely not be able to compete with Your Highness!" Zhang Jiayu, a military officer, said with a smile.

Zhao Ming looked ahead and sighed: "Oh! Zhu Yihai is also confused. Isn't it good to be the Supreme Emperor? Why do you have to go on this dead end by yourself? If so, the Zhu family can be at peace with themselves and not lose their vassal status in the future. The current situation is not what I want!"

"Your Highness is kind!" Zhang Jiayu bowed.

In Nanjing City, the Ming army camp, the soldiers recruited from the army are in training.

In front of the camp gate, a large banner of recruitment was erected, and many people who came to apply for the recruitment gathered under the banner.

At this time, a man wearing a cloth robes, a hat and a bag were respectfully introduced into the camp by a robe official, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Who is that? It's all because Lord Zheng personally led the way?"

"Could it be that Lord Yan has arrived!"

"If Lord Yan arrives, Nanjing will be safe!"

The gathering crowd was talking and consciously separated the road.

At this time, the man wearing a hat suddenly stopped, took off the hat, and handed it to everyone, revealing a firm face with a national character.

"It's really Mr. Yan!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and the crowd was immediately in an uproar.

Yan Yingyuan walked steadily, following Zheng Zunqian, the right assistant minister of the Nanjing Ministry of War, with a solemn expression, and walked under the banner.

Behind the desk, the registered clerk had already stood up and bowed to greet him.

Yan Yingyuan walked to the desk and said aloud: "Yan Yingyuan, came from Borneo."

"Mr. Yan, I have been waiting for you for many days!" The registered clerk hurriedly bowed and bowed.

The crowd around suddenly exclaimed, "What a man of Yan!"

Yan Yingyuan nodded and immediately said, "I want to meet the Supreme Emperor!"

Zheng Zunqian led Yan Yingyuan away, and many people had already heard the news.

The generals who were training troops in the camp also led a large group of subordinates to surround Yan Yingyuan with the crowd.

Seeing this, Zheng Zunqian introduced to Yan Yingyuan: "This is the Duke of Yue Fang Guoan! This is the General Wu Liuqi." Then Zheng Zunqian said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, this is the Duke of Yan who guarded Jiangyin back then!"

The crowd immediately cheered, but Fang Guoan, Wu Liuqi and others looked at each other but felt a little uncomfortable.

When he came, he was not treated like this.

At this time, Yan Yingyuan saw the crowd cheering, so he immediately pressed his hands and said aloud: "Yan is here to guard Nanjing with everyone and fight against the traitors!"

"With Duke Yan here, Nanjing is as solid as a god!" The crowd exclaimed.

Zheng Zunqian then separated the crowd and led Yan Yingyuan to the palace to meet Zhu Yihai.

In the city of Nanjing, Zhu Yihai launched a coup and controlled Nanjing, but in the city of Nanjing, Zhu Yihai's power was not the largest.

Now in Nanjing, there is actually a small royal family group composed of Zhu Yihai, Zhu Yuyou and Zhu Yue.

Yan Yingyuan was introduced into a convention hall to sit, waiting for Zhu Yihai and others to come to meet him.

Before the people arrived at this time, Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but fall into memories. When the Qing army went south, he made righteous words in Jiangyin, Zhao Ming, Zheng Chenggong, Chen Mingyu and others to defend Jiangyin City and fight against the Qing army's attack.

After the breaking of Jiangyin City, the group followed Zhao Ming to Zhoushan Island. It was here that Chen Mingyu followed Zhao Ming, and he hoped to be valued by the court.

Not long after, he left Chongming, went to Fuzhou, followed Zheng Chenggong's relationship and entered the Longwu court.

Since then, he has embarked on a different path from Zhao Ming.

At this time, he was thinking, when the guards outside the hall suddenly sang loudly: "The Supreme Emperor, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, You are here!"

Yan Yingyuan hurriedly stood up and bowed to greet him, "Since Yan Yingyuan, see the two high princes, the Supreme Emperor, the King of Tang, and the King of Guangdong!"

Zhu Yihai walked to the central hall and sat down, Zhu Yue and Zhu Yuyou sat on both sides, one left and one right.

"Don't give me a gift!" Zhu Yihai raised his hand and immediately showed excitement on his face, "Don't Yan can come, it's really a big help."

Zhu Yuyou also smiled and said, "I heard that the soldiers in the city were coming, and they were all very motivated!"

"Yes, when Duke Yan was a villager in Jiangyin, he fought against the Qing army for several months. Most of the soldiers in the city today were soldiers who fought for a long time. If Duke Yan commanded him, he would definitely be able to defeat the Zhao bandits!" Zhu Yue also excitedly said.

Zhao Ming recaptured Beijing and was extremely powerful. Now he brought back a victorious army. It is impossible to say he is not afraid.

Although more than 100,000 people gathered in the city, they were just a bunch of loose sand and lacked commanders. Zhu Yihai was also very frightened. But now that Yan Yingyuan could come, he immediately had some confidence.

"I should die for the Ming Dynasty!" Yan Yingyuan said.

Zhu Yihai smiled and said, "Please sit down with you, Mr. Yan!"

When Yan Yingyuan took his seat, Zhu Yuyou immediately said: "In the future, all the troops in Nanjing will be dispatched by Duke Yan. I hope that Duke Yan will rule the entire city and fight against the thieves of Zhao."

Yan Yingyuan nodded slightly, "I am coming for this matter. However, when I first arrived in Nanjing, I have two questions!"

Zhu Yihai said seriously: "Please tell me if you are a man of Yan!"

Yan Yingyuan said: "How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"

Zhu Yihai replied: "Yi has recruited 150,000 people!"

"Fifteen thousand!" Yan Yingyuan was a little surprised and nodded immediately, "I'll have confidence in this way."

After saying that, he asked again: "How about the money and food in the city?"

Zhu Yuyou said: "The royal family raised millions of silver and money, all of which were used to recruit soldiers and collect enough food. Now there is still millions of silver, which is enough for Nanjing for March!"

Yan Yingyuan said seriously: "Silver and money and food are far from enough. Please send troops to the Great Victory Pass immediately to seize the grain ships and tax silver there!"
