"Don't worry, Lord Wei, the two old mentors Han and Lu felt the difficulty of the court, and often cried and burst into tears. They had long been angry with Ma Shiying. Even if the city was in a mess tomorrow, they would still remain silent."

“Very good.”

"Brother, I'm going, wait for Lord Wei to stir up the storm of Ningcheng..."

Seeing the Henan Governor who would never go to Henan leave, Wei Wuya spitted a mouthful of foam on the ground and said in great disgust: "What a fucking thing? Just this face is still thinking about party disputes. I think the people of Donglin are weasels and rats are worse than those of the generation..."

It is these guys who speak of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Which one is not loyal and righteous in daily life? At the critical moment, there is no mention of any country, nation, country, country, and country. They all seek benefits for themselves and do not conceal this greed.

Compared with their senior Donglin, this is a complete pursuit of selfish interests. The Donglin style of the past had long been lost, and there was no more empty talk and criticism.

If the Donglin people at that time were still a bit loyal, even though they advocated empty talk about party struggles, they were still concerned about the world and the country. Whether it was right or wrong, it was not completely useless. The Donglin people today, especially the Donglin people in power, were completely for their future careers, and had long discarded all the good things that predecessors had.

"It's all a bunch of bastards, and we have to count on us to go to the death army." The old charlatan Wei Wuya put the crab roe cakes and mixed buns on the plate and distributed them to several soldiers outside: "Don't stand stupidly, eat a few to taste, it tastes good..."

On the second day, Dinghai, the sky was very bright.

Yuanhui Palace.

Hundreds of officials from various departments, yamen, prisons and temples gathered together to celebrate the current emperor's election of virtuous and virtuous harem masters.

The queen was in charge of the harem and was a mother in the world. Naturally, she had to choose from the left and right and choose to be very cautious. She didn't know how many beautiful ladies she had selected and how many prefectures and counties she had troubled, and finally she chose a queen who was satisfied with His Majesty.

How can the matter behind the book is a serious punishment for the country?

All officials gathered and prepared congratulations such as "The people are rich and wealthy, and the world is prosperous" and "The world is peaceful and the dragon and phoenix are prosperous". The calves that stood were numb, and long live to show their faces.

It was not until midday that a little palace servant came out and sang loudly in a sharp voice: "I don't look at the court--"

After waiting for so long, Emperor Hongguang didn't come anymore. This is too unconventional.

A few clever and clever ones immediately grabbed the little palace man: "Long live, why don't you come to the court again? Today is the day of the grand ceremony of enthronement..."

"Long live the flawlessness."

"Long live so busy? What are you doing?"

The little mute said very solemnly: "I personally played the show and sang "Lutai Meeting" with the male and female actors, so I don't look at the court..."

Everyone looked at each other speechlessly.

"Brother Nian, have you heard of it?" The censor Tang Shiji whispered his colleagues around him, "The Qing army crossed the river yesterday..."

"Really? This... is hard to say. Didn't you personally arrange the river defense? How did King Yu come from the Yangtze River? "

"No matter how natural danger or river defense is, it cannot stop the army of King Yu."

Many people have known the news that the Qing army crossed the river. Just the night before yesterday, taking advantage of the dark moon, the wind and fog, the Qing army sang a good show of crossing the river.

There were countless broken door panels, rotten soil rows, benches, tables, chairs and other objects. Anyway, all the items that could float in the water were placed in the Yangtze River, and the fire was raised on it. Then, fire was fired in Jiangbei, and the war drums trumpeted together, posing for crossing the Yangtze River at night.

The Jiang defense officers and soldiers arranged by Emperor Hongguang here immediately exploded the camp. After most of the night, more than 100,000 arrows were released, and more than a thousand enemy ships were said to have sunk.

When the fog dissipated the next day, I saw that there were not many Qing troops crossing the river.

The ammunition and arrows here have been almost tossed. Who dares to fight the Qing army in close combat? It can't stop the Qing army at all. Emperor Hongguang's personal defense of the Yangtze River, which he personally arranged for hard work, immediately collapsed.

Tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the river did not see clearly what the soldiers looked like, so they put ducks all over the mountains and fields.

Amid Duoduo's crazy laughter, the Qing army began to cross the river with all their might.

Although I had already heard the news that the Qing army crossed the river, everyone was thinking: The Yangtze River is a natural danger, and there are heavy troops in the river defense, so it is not so easy to come, right?

Today, officials from all departments have confirmed that the news is correct. Many people's faces have changed color, so they quickly find an excuse to turn around and go home to escape.

At this time, there were more filial sons in the court suddenly: "My colleagues, when I came, my mother was sick. I will never look at the court and dare not delay it, so as not to miss my mother's condition..."

"My father is old and dare not leave a little. Let's go back first, let's go back first..."

"Didn't your father die last year?"

"Ah...yes, this is my uncle, I'm my uncle, I'll take the lead, take the lead..."

In a moment, most of the hundreds of officials left, leaving 30 or 100 remaining to continue discussing matters.

Those who make excuses to run home are stupid. How can you become an official if you run away? Now at this moment, you will be nothing after leaving Nanjing.

Ma Shiying can't leave. His hope for the rest of his life is all about this court. If he runs out today, he will lose everything.

At this moment, Ma Shiying seemed more courageous and courageous: "Although the Qing army was numerous, they came from afar, and they suffered heavy losses in Yangzhou, and they were expected to be exhausted. The troops in Ningcheng added another Beijing camp, with tens of thousands of troops. There is still a way to do it when they are neatly prepared for the battle against the city."

"Come here, take me to meet Han and Lu." Ma Shiying is a figure at all. At the critical moment, there are still some great wisdom and courage. Although the military power and the majority are in the hands of Ma Shiying, according to the convention, there are two eunuchs Han Zanzhou and Lu Jiude who are the military supervisors to restrain them.

Han Zanzhou and Lu Jiude have always had a strong desire to resist, so it should be easy to organize the defense battle in Nanjing.

After Ma Shiying left, some of the remaining officials looked at me and looked at you, and no one spoke. Zhao Zhilong, the garrison guard of Nanjing, finally whispered: "The Qing army is so urgent, can Ma Duke really stop it?"

As soon as this topic was opened, I couldn't stop it.

"It's definitely not to be stopped. The army below said it was more than 100,000, but who doesn't know about the empty amount and reporting false salary? It's a big deal if you can get 50,000."

"Fifty thousand? If there are really 30,000 soldiers, I will lose my head to Brother Nian."

"I don't think I can stop it. If I can stop it, I won't lose Huaiyang..."

In the stolen words of these people, someone finally whispered: "For the sake of the present, only by reducing one's will, can one save one's life and life."

"It's amazing if this is the case."

Most of these people had had contact with the Qing army for a long time, and even prepared the details of surrender and payment. Anyway, they were also officials of the Ming Dynasty, and officials of the Qing Dynasty. As long as they could protect their wealth, serving the Manchus might not be as good as serving Hongguang, a fat pig.

Let Ma Shiying go and block Duoduo. It would be better if he died in battle. He has been blocking everyone's promotion and wealth for too long.

After noon.

Yang Tinglin organized another "charge" and rushed to the gate of Xingshan Temple again.

Such "charges" happen every day, even the soldiers guarding the door are used to it. Anyway, the prince inside rushed to the door and shouted a few words to the crowds outside, and it was impossible for him to really run away, so everyone didn't care.

I don’t know what happened. Today there are obviously several times more people coming to watch the fun. There are all kinds of people in the world, and they are all squeezed into lumps of flesh. There are still many people rushing here.

"What is a good day today? A community fire or a temple fair?" Xiaobing turned around and asked the commander behind him.

The chief said with a dark face and said angrily: "No, it's not the case. It's the day when the Kitchen God drills the dough tank."

"Why are there so many people today?"

"You kid are also well-behaved. If something happens to you, be smart..."

"Boss, what do you mean?" Xiaobing seemed to feel that the atmosphere today was a little unfavorable: "Did the boss say something to you?"

"Why are you talking so much? You are just a little more active," the chief whispered: "You have eyes on your head, so you won't see it yourself..."

The soldier looked at the crowd carefully and found something wrong.

In the past, there were many people who came to see the prince or the fun, but they were all local people or some scholars. It was amazing that there were a few people from other places who came from abroad and shouted a few times from afar. But today there were many big men with eye-catching figures in the crowd. These people were not very good-looking and stared at this side.

"Blessed by Buddha, don't happen today..." Xiaobing muttered in his heart: "This attitude is obviously going to be messy, and you will have to be more lively in a while. Otherwise, as many people come over, they can trample the living people into meat pie."

Wei Wuya stood at the innermost level and looked for a seat with great sniff. She squinted her small, thin eyes as if she was dozing off: Well, that's not bad, the railings and chains at the back were unlocked, and this drama is about to start, hoping to sing a lot of cheers.

Yang Tinglin, who was blocking the door, saw Wei Wuya at a glance, and his heart was "sudden". As the army supervisor of the army to die, he naturally knew the old charlatan. After looking carefully, he found many familiar faces in the crowd and whispered to the prince: "Your Highness, the people who are going to die are here."

"The army to die? Where?" The prince raised his head and waited.

Just like the image of the old charlatan, you can't do it if you don't pay attention.

"It's indeed the one who went to the death, this is..."

"Your Highness and we are trapped in this small temple. It is difficult to know the details of the outside world," Yang Tinglin said solemnly: "Loyal Bo has always been keen to grasp the overall situation. When the army comes to the death, it must be that there are imminent changes in the outside world. This is to welcome us out."

"Isn't this going to turn against King Fu in a blatant way?" Liu Lishun said worriedly: "This is in Nanjing. If you tear apart with King Fu in the face, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"The situation must have reached an unimaginable time when the army goes to the death." Yang Tinglin ignored the cowardly Liu Lishun at all and said to the prince: "Let's watch the army goes to the death later, and immediately rushed out whenever there is any movement..."

"If... this is in Nanjing." The prince was a little timid after all, and he really didn't dare to break up with King Fu. If something unexpected happened, everyone would have no way out.

"What are you afraid of?" Yang Tinglin slammed his feet in a hurry: "Did the prince remember that when he broke into the thief and broke into the capital, Zhongsheng Bo led dozens of heroes from the village protection team to attack the millions of thieves. Now the entire Nanjing knows the identity of the prince, and it is expected that King Fu would not dare to use force. If there is really something to do with swords and weapons, can he still survive the Beijing city that day?"

When the children behind heard that the army to die was coming, they hurriedly came through the cracks of the people. Sure enough, they saw countless familiar acquaintances who could not be more familiar, and their eyes immediately burst into: "Die dog, dead dog, my dad sent someone to pick us up."

"I knew my dad wouldn't leave us here and ignore it." After so many days of depressed death, he was like a little tiger facing a prey: "After a while, our people came up, they followed me out. If anyone dared to stop him, they would immediately move the guy, do you understand?"

"clear."

A few kids put out the ironing stickers in the unfit yellow military uniforms, ready to rush out at any time...

"When the decisive battle in Huaiyang was at this time, my Ming Dynasty was orthodox, and the emperor Daxing was trapped here..." Yang Tinglin opened his voice to the fullest and shouted loudly at the outside.

The people below had already been yelling, and a rough northern accent shouted: "The army to die had long retreated across the river, and Yangzhou was on its way here with hundreds of thousands. How to resettle it, please ask the prince to decide!"

Another voice was also in a foreign accent, as if answering Yang Tinglin, and was also clamoring: "The Tartar army has crossed the river, and the people of Ningcheng are looking forward to the prince's resolute crisis..."

The decisive battle in Yangzhou has ended? Have the Tartars fought the Yangtze River?

Not only Yang Tinglin, but also the prince's always calm personality, he immediately understood the urgent situation.

As soon as the Yangtze River was lost, the entire Jiangnan was under the iron hoof of the Qing army. The general situation was at an urgent critical moment. At this time, if you want to do nothing, the people will never be able to gather it up again. The Ming Dynasty is really about to end.

"The Tartars crossed the river and the mountains were severely damaged. The people of Ningcheng must be the first to be affected." Yang Tinglin was not an exaggeration: "Where the Qing army passed, the massacre of cities and land, the Manchu Tartars were inexhaustible..."

The people have also heard some news about Duoduo crossing the river, and have also seen with their own eyes that many high-ranking officials and nobles are moving out in a hurry. Based on this analysis of the current situation, it is not difficult to draw a critical conclusion in Nanjing.

It is said that there are more than 100,000 officers and soldiers outside the city, but everyone is watching the sky. These people blackmail the local area and bully the people. If you really want them to block the Tartars, you will be dreaming in the daytime.
To be continued...
