Chapter 189

The ministers in Nanjing were also surprised by the speed of Ye Yun's army's advance.

When His Royal Highness wanted to equip the army with four-wheeled carriages, they thought that this thing cost too much. Now that they see such a high speed, they think the money they spend is also worth it.

However, many people in the imperial court made another sound at this time, that is, whether to delay the advance.

It turned out that Ye Yun went to Huguang area to force Zuo Liangyu and his son to submit.

Now that they have received new information, they have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, but are still hesitating. If the advance is suspended, there may be a way back.

Zhu Cixuan criticized all of these people's remarks.

The majesty of the court was not based on the conscience of some people, nor did it rely on the dialect of some people. The majesty of the court was shot with guns and cannons.

Especially the Southern Ming Dynasty court established by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just been established, and everything must be achieved through this tough battle. Only in this way can the foundation be laid solidly.

Zhu Cilang severely criticized the remarks made by these people.

Zhu Cilang also gave them a strict warning to Zuo Liangyu's friends in the court.

The past can be ignored, but starting from today, if someone has an affair with Zuo Liangyu, the court will definitely punish him severely.

Many people in the court think that the prince’s decisive behavior is good, thinking that the Lord of Zhongxing should be like this and that he should not be timid in doing things.

Zuo Liangyu was a minister of the Ming Dynasty, so he had to obey the orders of the court and be with the Qing Dynasty. This alone, even if we have no actual evidence, the king would die, but the minister would have to die.

Moreover, through this incident, the civil and military officials in the court also saw the iron blood of the two new yamen.

The Office of the Internal Affairs Office is in charge of money and food, and can provide His Royal Highness with a steady stream of money.

The Military Affairs Office is independent of the six ministries, except for the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no one else's orders were taken into account.

Through these two iron-blooded yamen, His Highness the Crown Prince left all the original ministers aside.

If it is useful, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally select personnel to join these two yamen. If you are a waste of time, it is best to shut your mouth.

If some people cannot see their seats clearly in their original yamen, don’t blame His Royal Highness’s whip for falling down quickly.

For the court ministers, what they value most is the Military Affairs Office.

It turned out that the Prime Minister and the Six Ministers had great power. Now after the establishment of the Military Affairs Office, all the power was taken into the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince.

No matter what kind of memorials other people have, they must first pass through the Military Affairs Office, and the six ministries immediately reduced the excitement.

Only then did everyone feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is good at means. He usually smiles, and feels that people and animals are harmless when they go up.

But with just one move, it would be a strategy of cutting off the firewood from the cauldron. No one in the court dared to underestimate the Crown Prince as a child, and he was even more concerned when doing errands.

At the beginning, many people opposed it, but soon everyone understood that their arms could not resist their thighs, and each emperor had his own thoughts.

If we had followed the system of the previous dynasty, many things would have to be changed now, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just liked it. Would you go against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Zhu Cixuan's attention was not on these people, just let them make trouble. Anyway, he had captured the financial and military power, and other things could be temporarily put aside.

What Zhu Cixuan is most concerned about now is Ye Yun's army.

Zuo Menggeng spent six days to tame all the people under Zuo Liangyu. Everyone supported Zuo Menggeng's strategy. Of course, whether it was supportive from the bottom of their hearts or threatened support, then only they themselves knew.

Ye Yun also set up a formation at the hem of Jiujiang City.

Zuo Menggeng was so scared that he almost screamed when he was about to scream at Ye Yun's speed. If it were the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, it would be no surprise that he had such a speed.

After all, they were all cavalry advancing and ran around from all over the country, but when did the Ming Dynasty have an army that was moving so fast?

Of course he didn't know that Ye Yun's army was propelling with carriages. If he had known, he wouldn't have been curious about this matter.

When the Jiujiang Guard saw Ye Yun's army, he immediately asked Zuo Menggeng for help. If they wanted to resist, just kill them.

It is good to bully ordinary people in normal times, but if they are fighting against the imperial army, they may not be able to do so.

In addition, the miraculous spread in the army, hundreds of thousands of Qing Dynasty troops were all solved by tens of thousands of people from the court. Can our army keep up with the combat effectiveness of the Qing army?

So when Ye Yun's army appeared outside Jiujiang City, the Jiujiang defenders had already collapsed.

There are only 20,000 or 30,000 miscellaneous soldiers in Jiujiang City. Not to mention training, it is already very difficult to gather all of them.

When there were so many troops outside the city, many people even took off their military uniforms and hid among the people.

In desperation, Zuo Menggeng could only ignite 50,000 people overnight and head to Jiujiang overnight.

This is the east gate of Wuchang. If Jiujiang is lost, Ye Yun's army can go directly to the city of Wuchang. There is no city that can be defended in the middle, so Zuo Menggeng also attaches great importance to Jiujiang.

According to Zuo Menggeng's original idea, the Qing court's army should be allowed to resist the Ming court's army, retain its own strength, and continue to be stationed in the Huguang area in the future, and be a grass-headed king who decides it himself.

But unfortunately, the Qing court also realized that they kept looking for various reasons to shirk their troops, and they had to force Zuo Menggeng to send troops.

Since the Qing Dynasty's defeat in the Qufu Battle, the people in its hands were already very nervous. Where can I find someone to resist the Ming Dynasty?

Jiujiang Camp...

Ye Yun's army has already been stationed around him. He originally thought that there would be some strongholds around the city that needed to be attacked.

Who knew that after seeing the imperial army coming, Zuo Menggeng's men retreated directly and had no fight at all.

Now, except for the people in the city, all the military camps outside the city are empty.
