Chapter 205 Facing Hong Chengchou, backed away
The Qing army, Ezhen, drank the last drop of wine from the bowl, stood up staggeringly, and shouted: "Come on, give me wine."
But after shouting a few times, no one agreed, which made E Zhen angry: "Where are people dead?"
Finally, a disabled Goshha came over with a jar of wine: "Where have everyone died? They all died on Beigu Mountain. Now, we only have three hundred warriors left."
Well, I was so shocked: "What? In just two days, we will die of 1,700,800 brothers?"
"The rest will die tomorrow dawn." The disabled person poured him wine and reported sadly.
As a result, I really didn't expect it: "So that is to say, we will be out of the hands of the city in the future?"
The veteran smiled bitterly: "There are more deaths in the green camp. Now, there are no one people on the city walls, twenty steps."
Uh, I was really sweating coldly and I woke up from the alcohol. It seemed that he felt that he had been fooled: "What the hell is Zhang Tianfu doing? How could he fight like this?"
At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, and Zhang Tianfu's voice came: "If this battle is not fought like this, how can I destroy the main force of you, the barbarian? How can I hand over the letter of fame to Xinming?"
Uh, Shi Shi was shocked and looked at Zhang Tianfu who was strode in: "You want to betray the Qing Dynasty, do you want to surrender to Xinming?"
Zhang Tianfu shook his head: "It was not me who betrayed the Qing Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty abandoned me; I did not surrender to Xinming, but I abandoned the darkness and turned to Ming from the arms of Hui people."
Uh, he looked at him and suddenly sneered: "Although you have plotted against me, I still have three hundred warriors in my hand. Only the three or four thousand mobs left by you, killing you is enough."
Zhang Tianfu smiled faintly: "Who said I only have three or four thousand chaotic people? I have 20,000 loyal and brave soldiers in my hands now."
Well, I was really stunned: "Where did you come from so many soldiers?"
Take out the head of the prefect from behind and throw it to his feet: "I have to thank the prince for his arrangement and the execution of the prefect. Therefore, the young and strong people in the city who have long wanted to fight against the Qing Dynasty, are they all my soldiers?"
Countless young and strong people rushed in outside the door, holding swords and guns, their eyes red, and their foreheads were really hard.
Eh, he roared and pulled out the steel knife from his waist.
More than a dozen cherry guns immediately pierced him into a gourd.
In the blink of an eye, the three hundred soldiers in the Qing army camp were still sleeping and were blown into pieces by cannons.
In the Chaoyang, a dilapidated Ming military flag once again replaced the Qing Dynasty's Dragon flag at the head of Zhenjiang City, flying high.
Teams of Xinming soldiers lined up in an orderly manner and drove into Zhenjiang and stepped onto the city.
Wang Xuejun carefully took off the broken Ming army flag, then raised the Xinming battle flag with his own hands: "The old Ming Dynasty has passed, from now on, Xinming is the master of this world."
"What? Hong Chengchou became the Grand Secretary of Xuanfu Jiangnan?" After hearing Zhang Tianfu reported on the current situation in Nanjing, Wang Xuejun jumped up like a cat with his tail at that time.
Hong Chengchou was in charge of Nanjing, which made Wang Xuejun ten-headed.
This person is so famous. The invisible pressure from history makes Wang Xuejun feel breathless.
This feeling has nothing to do with the domineering spirit of the time traveler.
This is like when you meet a great man in later generations, it is a sense of glory that reaches your heart, and only Mobike is left.
It’s like when you travel to Yue Wumu, you can’t help but be his pawn, and you don’t even have any temper.
This is like the kind of person who doesn't need a reason to hit you, and you don't dare to fight back and have a happy heart in front of your grandfather.
Especially the greatest pressure on Wang Xuejun was the poem by the founding father who made Hong Chengchou a decision: "Five tribes compete for a great festival, and China will be shining. No one knows the great achievements of the creatures. On the day of returning to the Central Plains, Han dynasties remained for a long time. Wen Xiang made a strategy and An people changed their clothes."
This made Wang Xuejun feel a difficult choice to stand or kneel when facing Hong Chengchou.
Wang Xuejun had a kind of hatred for traitors from the bottom of his heart, and his method of treating traitors was an iron-blooded sword.
But hesitated about Hong Chengchou.
If he is destroyed, if he fails to restore his country and loses Hong Chengchou, it will be a disaster for the Chinese Han people.
If he does not destroy him, there will be a huge stumbling block to his future road to restoration.
It's not a stumbling block, it's simply a mountain that cannot be crossed.
Zhang Tianfu didn't know the uproar in Wang Xuejun's heart, so he continued to report: "Now, Boluo stationed troops in Zhaoguan and brought together reinforcements from Beilekdehun, Nanjing. There were a total of 10,000 Qing soldiers and 50,000 Green Camp. The old thief Hong Chengchou allocated countless food and salary."
Xu Jie said: "This is to block our passage to attack Nanjing by land. It seems that if we want to attack Nanjing, we can only rely on our navy."
Zhang Tianfu shook his head: "Hong Chengchou comforted Zuo Menggen. Now the old thief Hong Chengchou has Zuo Menggen's naval warships, about a thousand in size. In Yanziji, Nanjing, a fort was set up, with 100 heavy artillery pieces, all of which were big guys who could hit twelve and a half pounds of cannon shells. And three iron locks were set up on the river surface of Yanziji."
Yu Minzhong took a breath of air conditioning: "It takes time and effort to clear the iron lock, and once we clear the iron lock, our warships will become the living targets of the enemy's heavy artillery on Yanzijie. We cannot afford to lose."
Hong Chengchou was indeed Hong Chengchou. Such numerous arrangements really turned Nanjing into an iron bucket, and there was no gap.
"Hong Chengchou is still implementing the Huairou policy in Nanjing and will not shave his hair for the time being. He also trains village warriors in various townships. Once the battle begins, all the people in the township will be soldiers." Zhang Tianfu continued to report.
"Isn't everyone in the world not against the Qing Dynasty? Hong Chengchou really dares to let the people train their troops?"
In history, Hong Chengchou has done this.
As a result, Jiangning Governor Mao Jiuhua said that the ninety towns outside Jiangning City had made an appointment to start the first month of the lunar month under the name of training troops, but later Hong Chengchou noticed it and suppressed it.
Zhang Tianfu shook his head: "That's the case, but Hong Chengchou was scheming and ordered that each family of the gentry and clans must send their children to his Ruijian camp to serve in the army, in the name of being taken care of by the officials, but in fact, it is a hostage."
This is awesome.
In this era, the management of local gentry and landlords were all those gentry and landlords. As long as they were controlled, everything would be solved.
And those gentry and landlords are the most cartilage because of their constant property.
"It seems that the time is not right to attack Nanjing now." Wang Xuejun thought for a while: "Okay, let's implement Plan B, turn around and go north, and guide Henan."
In fact, such a decision was to be forced to do so, but deep down, even if Wang Xuejun didn't feel it, he was also in trouble with the idea of avoiding the important and avoiding Hong Chengchou.
But in order to restore the Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, and Sanshun Wang were the ones that Wang Xuejun had to face in the end.
By then, how should Wang Xuejun choose?
Let’s talk about it wherever you go. Anyway, in the subtle meaning, Wang Xuejun compromised against Hong Chengchou.
After voluntary and identification, the so-called 20,000 soldiers in Zhang Tianfu's hands formed 5,000, led by Zhang Tianlu, and returned to Yangzhou for training.
Bring Zhang Tianfu, a rare military talent, with you, to join the army.
The fifth team of Yan Yingyuan was left to guard Zhenjiang and became a horn with Yangzhou.
After achieving limited results, Wang Xuejun led an army of 20,000 to head north along the canal, and then officially carried out the Northern Expedition.
