Chapter 294 Entering Nanjing ([-])

Meixiang House is a high-end brothel. Except for Li Xiangjun, a popular prostitute from Jiangnan, there are only eight second-class courtesans. Most of the customers who come and go on weekdays are literati and dignitaries.

Therefore, the Meixiang Building courtyard is not too big, with only a three-story main building and several connected small courtyards.

In this case, there is no need to be like those low-end brothels that support a group of thugs to control the prostitutes, intimidate gangsters, and customers who cannot pay their bills.

Therefore, Li Zhenli only raised ten nursing homes.

These nursing homes usually work well, but now they saw more and more rioters climbing over the wall and entering the hospital. There were dozens of them. Some people immediately got scared and opened the back door and ran away.

Someone took the lead in escaping, and other guards who were afraid of death also fled one after another. Only four more loyal ones were forced to the main building.

When Li Zhenli saw the chaos outside, she had already gathered all her servants and maids to the main building in advance. At this time, she was not harmed by the insurgents.

These rebel soldiers first rummaged through boxes and cabinets in various courtyards and searched for some ordinary jewelry. When they saw that they found nothing, the leading sentry called for men and approached the main building.

Dozens of rioters blocked the main entrance of the main building, looking up and talking excitedly.

"This brothel looks quite high-end."

"There's not much wealth in those yards, most of them are in this building."

"The girl here should be upstairs too, right? I want to have a good time later!"

"Have fun together, hahaha..."

In the building, Li Xiangjun, other servants, and maids turned pale with fright when they heard the evil laughter of the rebels outside.

These people were trained from an early age to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, tea arts, and ways to please men, but they were still virgins in order to sell them for a good price in the future.

Many people couldn't help crying at the thought that they might be dirty or even killed by a group of rebel soldiers.

Li Zhenli saw that the rebels were about to break into the building, and the remaining nursing homes were so frightened that they kept retreating, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and come forward.

She was also extremely scared, but she pretended to yell: "Whose soldiers are you? Don't you know this is Meixiang Tower?"

The sentry officer's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Li Zhenli - although he was in his 20s, he liked beautiful women like Li Zhenli who were in their 30s.

After making up his mind to have a good time here, he rushed in without any hurry and said with a smile, "What happened to Meixiang Tower?"

Li Zhenli said: "Behind Meixiang Tower is Uncle Xincheng. In addition, Governor Hou's son Hou Fangyu is also a frequent visitor to our place..."

Before he could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by the rebel sentry, "Uncle Xincheng, Governor Hou, his mother-in-law Wei thieves are all going to enter the city, and all the Dukes, Lord Governors and Young Masters are going to die!

If you want to know someone, just ask the kitchen to prepare some food and wine, and then call the girls in the building to have fun with me and my brothers.

If you pay more filial piety with gold, silver and jewels, maybe we people can spare your lives, otherwise, this person will be the fate of you! "

As he spoke, the sentry waved his hand and nocked an arrow, killing a nurse with one arrow.

The other rebels also approached the stairway brandishing knives and spears, grinning ferociously.

"Yes, call the girls out and have fun with us!"

"We'll spare your lives if we're happy!"

"Stop inking, I don't have the patience!"

"···"

Seeing this formation, Li Zhenli turned pale with fright and almost lost her bearings. She thought to herself whether she should persuade the Qing servants to accompany these rebels in order to survive.

At this moment, screams suddenly came from the street outside——

"The thief is here!"

"Run!"

Then there were bursts of gunfire and screams.

The look of the sentry officer and other rebels changed after hearing this, "Damn, how come the thieves are here so fast?"

After cursing, the sentry officer and the rebels ran away - although they didn't loot many valuable things in Meixiang Tower, they had already looted a lot of gold and silver treasures.

I thought it would take a few hours for the Yi army to enter the city, so I wanted to have some fun in Meixiang Tower.

Now that I heard that the Yi army was coming to kill them, I naturally calmed down and ran away with the looted gold and silver.

The rebels ran away, and Li Zhenli was so nervous that she almost fell to the ground.

Then he thought of something and shouted quickly: "Close the upstairs door quickly and don't make any noise."

A nurse said: "Mother Li, I heard that the discipline of the Yi army is better than that of the official army, and they do no harm to the common people. We don't need to do this, right?"

Li Zhenli rolled her eyes after hearing this, "You have been around outside, so you believe this rumor? There is nothing good about soldiers and bandits these days."

The others also became frightened when they thought about the rumors about some of the troops. They quickly closed the door and pretended that no one was inside.

Li Zhenli returned to the building, comforted the servants and the maids, and told everyone to be silent, and then went to Li Xiangjun's room on the top floor.

Li Xiangjun is her cash cow, so nothing can happen to her.

As soon as he came in, he saw Li Xiangjun secretly opening the window and looking out.

"Oh, my little ancestor, how dare you open the window?!"

Li Zhenli wanted to take Li Xiangjun away, but Li Xiangjun held her back and pointed out the window, "Mom, look, the thieves are killing the rebels!"

Just at this time, gunfire rang out outside, and the window had been opened a little, so Li Zhenli couldn't help but look out from the crack of the window.Soldiers in gray-green armor were seen running over one by one. When they saw some rebels rushing out of the shop, they shot them and killed them.

Another soldier, holding a sword, rushed into the shop. There were sounds of fighting inside, but it soon stopped.

Immediately, Sergeant Wei carried an injured store clerk out and shouted: "Health worker! There are injured people here!"

"coming!"

A Wei Jun man carrying a bamboo box rushed over and bandaged the man who had been stabbed several times but not critically.

"Thank you, Mr. Jun! Thank you, Mr. Jun!"

The man burst into tears of gratitude and kept thanking me.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhenli and Li Xiangjun couldn't help but look at each other.

"Mom, this thief is actually saving people..."

Li Zhenli came to her senses and hurriedly slapped Li Xiangjun on the back and said: "What thief? This is the rebel army. Don't call me by the wrong name in the future!"

Dangdang Dangdang!
The sound of gongs was heard on the street, and more troops came running over. Most of them continued to rush forward to kill the rebels, but there were also groups of people beating gongs and preaching along the street.

"Folks in Nanjing, we are the Yibu rebels and are taking over the city of Nanjing!"

"Folks, don't be afraid. Our army has strict discipline and will never harm good people or take people's money. If any of our soldiers violate discipline, they can go to the streets to report to the gendarmerie or propaganda team."

"Currently, our army is quelling military and civil turmoil in the city. If you have no urgent business, please don't go out and close the doors and windows to avoid accidental injuries."

"If you find rebels or bandits hiding, please inform our soldiers so that the chaos in the city can be quelled as soon as possible..."

After hearing these words, they saw groups of soldiers in gray-green armor trotting past. It was true that no one was searching for property in the open shops on the street. Li Zhenli and Li Xiangjun couldn't help but have their eyes light up, and even opened the windows completely unconsciously. opened.

Li Xiangjun said: "It seems that what Sister Liu said is true. The Wei army really did not commit any crime against the common people!"

Li Zhenli said: "These troops seem to be more elite than Ning Nanbo's servants. No wonder the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of troops can't stop them."

Thinking of this, Li Zhenli immediately went downstairs, greeted the remaining three nursing homes, and placed the corpses of the nursing homes that were shot before...

In Wanhua Tower, another larger brothel more than a hundred steps away from Meixiang Tower, Yang Wencong was quite surprised when he saw the Tai army killing some rebel soldiers who had no time to escape and treating injured people.

Seeing that the injured servant next to him was bleeding profusely, he quickly asked another servant to carry him on his back and walked out of the gate of Wanhua Tower.

When the Yi army on the street saw him holding a weapon with blood stains on it, he immediately pointed his matchlock at him and shouted: "Throw away the weapon!"

Yang Wencong quickly threw away the weapon and hurriedly explained: "We are guests of Wanhua Tower, and we were there to help defend against the insurgents. This servant of mine is injured, and I would like to ask you to bandage him."

The officer in charge here, Wei Junshaozheng, did not fully believe Yang Wencong's words and signaled a group of soldiers to enter Wanhua Building to check.

Soon, the soldiers carried out several injured nurses from Wanhualou and said: "This man is indeed a guest in the building. According to the old bustard, he is also the brother-in-law of Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang?"

When Yang Wencong heard this, he screamed inwardly that it was terrible.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Wei Junshao's eyes lit up, "Governor Fengyang's brother-in-law? That's a small fish, so keep an eye on him!"

"Yes!"

Yang Wencong felt relieved when he saw that Wei Jun was just looking at him and not tying him up, but he couldn't help but secretly scolded Wanhualou's madam for being ungrateful.

At this time, a loud shout suddenly came from a nearby powder shop——

"There are rebels hiding here!"

Upon hearing the sound, a group of troops immediately rushed into the powder shop and captured a Ming army rebel. However, they did not kill him, but just tied him up.

When Yang Wencong saw this, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why don't you kill this rebel?"

The arresting officer said: "We will kill people on the street only if we see them committing murder, or if people witness the murder. The shopkeeper in the shop said that this person just robbed some money and did not kill anyone."

"Then what will your army do with him?"

"Penalty to hard labor."

After hearing this, Yang Wencong looked at the long street that was quickly cleared of rioters and civilians, and felt a mixed feeling in his heart.

He was not only Ma Shiying's brother-in-law, but also a member of the Ming Dynasty. He served successively as magistrate of Huating, Qingtian, Jiangning, Yongjia and other counties. He was later impeached and dismissed by the imperial envoy Zhan Zhaoheng and lived in Nanjing.

He had feelings for the Ming Dynasty, and therefore had an instinctive aversion to the Yi army.

But what he saw today made him have to admit that the Wei army was indeed a rebel army, and it was no fluke that it was able to achieve its current glory.

Now that the Yi army has captured Nanjing, I am afraid that it is really possible to replace Zhu Ming.

Thinking of this, he was a little worried about his uncle Ma Shiying. He didn't know what Ma Shiying's situation was...
···
On the official road from Dasheng Pass to Nanjing.

When Liu Sheng received the good news sent by Liu Changhe's fast horse, he couldn't help laughing: "Zuo Menggeng led the left elites to abandon the city and escape. Nanjing is self-defeating without attacking. The naval officers have taken over the city defense and entered the city to quell the chaos!"

Next to them, Zhang Kuang, Li Weiqi, Yang Kuiwu, Li Rongguang and others couldn't help but raise their hands to Liu Sheng immediately after hearing this, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Sheng laughed loudly and immediately gave the order, "Li Rongguang leads the first regiment of the Cavalry Guards and follows me into Nanjing first!"

"As ordered!"

As the command flag was waved, more than 3000 accompanying Cavalry Guards and some of the Xunfeng Guards, Military Academy, Secretariat and other attachés followed Liu Sheng eastward on horseback.
