I have a cornucopia

Chapter 155 You traitors shall die!
Nanjing.

Inside the Shen Ce Men Weng City.

Under the early autumn sunshine, a group of hungry wolves who came to grab money gathered around a round table.

"Damn it, I knew there must be a conspiracy."

Yang Shaobao was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, looking at the five hundred miles sent from Xuzhou in his hands in a bad mood.

It's already ten days later.

He didn't know much about the situation west of Kaifeng. After all, it was not his territory. Even the reconnaissance cavalry released from Xuzhou, Caozhou and other places would not go there. In fact, due to the flooding of the Yellow River, this season is not easy to pass. The hole that was opened has been washed away to more than a mile wide. Originally, it was not blocked until four years later in history. As for Kaifeng City, it was not blocked until the first year of Mage. Digging it out of the mud. The vented river water mainly entered the Guohe River and then entered the Huaihe River, so a southeast-oriented swamp was formed to the west of Xuzhou and Guide. This swamp was the dividing line between his and Li Zicheng's territories.

So Xuzhou got the news seven days after Dorgon crossed the river.

"Shaobao is saying that this prisoner was recruited by Zuo Liangyu?"

Ma Shiying shook her feather fan and said as if she was possessed by Kong Ming.

This map is his own.

Huang Degong said.

Although Yang Feng occupied Shence Gate, the northwest half of Nanjing City was originally designed to be a battlefield. When Zhu Yuanzhang built the city, he divided the city into two parts: military and civilian. This part is for the army, and it is full of military camps, and various military installations. Therefore, occupying Shence Gate can only be said to have entered the city of Nanjing. The real battle has just begun. This city is so big that it is useless to fill it with tens of thousands of soldiers. As long as the defenders truly resist, they will inevitably become Flesh millstone. What's more, there is an imperial city behind Zuo Liangyu. In short, as long as he doesn't escape, countless soldiers will really be filled in. Since the siege can be solved, why bother to fight so hard? The nobles and their money in the city can't escape anyway.

Yang Feng going to Wuchang is the best solution in this situation.

He and Gao Jie were all here. They were originally meeting to discuss how to continue the attack. Unexpectedly, Yang Feng received an urgent report from Xuzhou, but this did explain Zuo Liangyu's anomaly.

Of course, what they really think is another matter.

Originally, these guys were still confused. After all, this really didn't fit with their understanding of Zuo Liangyu.

There will be rewards for copying.

Not surprisingly it has arrived now. "

As for Liu Liangzuo not coming, Fengyang also needs defenders after all.

After all, their men must be used as cannon fodder in the attack.

Because historically he surrendered without any hesitation, but later the Qing Dynasty tried to take over his army, but he was killed when he refused. His younger brother led his men to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, and continued to rebel, eventually becoming Kuidong One of the thirteen. But Wang Guangen did not fight against the Qing Dynasty. He was just a pure warlord. As long as Dorgon did not move his army, he did not care about kneeling to the Qing Dynasty!
Then the rest depends on whether there is anyone along the Han River who can fulfill his duties for the Ming Dynasty.

But Zuo Liangyu still refuses to withdraw.

Yang Feng said.

Doesn't he always run in front and charge behind?
What makes his painting style so twisted?
But now comes the truth.

However, they support the idea of ​​siege but not attack.

"It's already too late. I'll ride to Wuchang alone. I'll leave it to Duke Ma to make the decision. My retinue will be under the command of the princess. If Duke Ma wants to mobilize them, he'll ask the princess for orders."

"From Xingze to Xiangyang is a plain of 700 miles. There is no big river in the middle, and Liu Fangliang has no courage to go out of Luoyang to block the attack. What's more, even if he attacks, he can't defeat the Jianlu. Therefore, the Jianlu cavalry can reach Xiangyang in less than five days. .

Wang Guangen will definitely surrender.

That is to find a painter to copy a modern map, then modify some parts, fill in the place names, and have the engraving craftsman carve the woodblock and print it with woodblock. This is the lowest-end version, and the highest-end version is directly a copy of the satellite map. This work is all done by palm dancers. He is also good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Not only is he good at palm dance, he also has basic skills in painting, which he has trained since he was a child and will be the successor of Qinhuai Bayan. Although Master Dong's level is indeed impossible, as long as a qualified painter can copy the paper version of the satellite map, it is not difficult at all.

if there is not……

Originally, Liu Liangzuo surrendered along with Liu Liangzuo in history, but later Qin Dapeng, the commander-in-chief of the Qing Dynasty, also fought against the Qing Dynasty. I don’t know if it was another person or he resisted the Qing Dynasty again. However, among the major generals who surrendered under Liu Liangzuo, he was the only one who did not appear in the Qing army later.

I'm afraid Dorgon has already gone down the river in Xiangyang by this time.

"But what about the siege?"

As long as the latter can reach Wuchang, the rest is to go straight down the river, and it will only take a few days to reach Nanjing.

Gao Jie and others all agreed.

"but……"

In addition to Zheng Hongkui's troops, and Wu Zhikui's troops sent by Zhang Guowei for reinforcements, they would definitely not come for the group training, but Zhang Guowei had to think of something, so Wu Zhikui came with the navy, plus Yang Feng's troops, this can be regarded as The Sixth Route Army had a total force of more than 100,000, but the main force was Huang Degong and Gao Jie. The two of them only had 60,000. These 100,000 troops surrounded Nanjing. Gao Jie blocked the Zhengyang and other gates, and Huang Degong blocked the Jubao and other gates. , the two families waited across the Yuhuatai for Zuo Liangyu to break out, so as to grab the gold and silver jewelry that the latter brought out from the city...

Yang Feng looked at the map in front of him, and then drew a line from Zhengzhou to Xiangyang with a marker.

Yang Feng looked at them.

At present, all armies have arrived.

After Li Zicheng went north, Xiangyang was recaptured by the army.

Yang Feng asked immediately.

This is waiting for Dorgon.

Ma Shiying said.

Isn’t this Ning Nanbo’s painting style?

"Is there a garrison in Xiangyang?"

Yang Feng said.

Huang Degong, Gao Jie, and Qin Dapeng, the commander-in-chief brought by Ma Shiying.

"Yes, Wang Guangen, and Xu Qiyuan, governor of Yunyang."

"There is no need to attack anymore and continue the confrontation. Zuo Liangyu relies on nothing but Dorgon. If Dorgon fails, even if he wants to fight, his men will chop off his head and send him away. There is no need to waste the lives of soldiers. As for the others It can't run away, it's already in our bag, we just want to pick it up at any time, there is no need to rush."

The generals quickly put on an attitude of being open-minded and willing to be taught.

"I'll say this ugly thing first. We are all officers and soldiers of the imperial court. We must pay attention to military discipline. The siege of Nanjing is not for you to cause trouble in Nanjing. There will be countless money in the future. So whoever dares to rob the people, I will kill him first when I come back. As for bullying women, I will chop off his head."

Yang Feng said.

"What are you saying, Shaobao? Brothers are all officers and soldiers of the imperial court, how can they do such a thing?

If anyone dares to harm the people, I will chop off Shaobao's head first.

My subordinates, Gao Jie, cannot tolerate this kind of shit! "

Gao Jie said immediately.

I have to say that he is also very humorous.

But that's all Yang Feng can do. Of course he can ensure military discipline here, but when he leaves, he can only look after Ma Shiying. After making arrangements here, Yang Feng then went to see the princess. The latter was still in Xuanwu Lake, but Zheng Hongkui selected some sailors and got some boats to protect her. Because the orders in the city were no longer valid, and the Nanjing court could not live without it, Ma Shiying simply put the princess as the leader, that is, all orders were issued by the princess to the emperor. The process was a bit complicated. Ma Shiying wanted to issue orders to other governors, so he asked the princess to submit a letter to the emperor in her own capacity. But when the letter was sent, he had already issued the same official document to various places...

Thank you for your support!
Otherwise, what do you want?
The first emperor was in Xi'an, and you also know that his imperial edicts were actually issued by Li Zicheng.

Secondly, all the ministers and censors in Nanjing have been imprisoned by Zuo Liangyu, and all orders issued by the Nanjing court are invalid.

Third, we definitely cannot find a vassal king. This is a matter of principle.

What else can we do?
The only choice left is the princess. Whether she is His Majesty's biological daughter or the eldest daughter, and is closely related to His Majesty, she represents His Majesty. She is a woman and is not qualified to inherit the throne. This way, there is no need to worry about His Majesty and the Crown Prince being uneasy. Saying that she is the only choice, the best solution to get the best of both worlds.

It has to be said that it is difficult for Ma Yaocao to come up with such a fallacy.

But it was accepted by governors everywhere.

Zhang Guowei, Yuan Jixian, and Yang Feng all accepted his design.

Governor Yang also praised Mr. Ma for his true loyalty to the country!

Zhang Guowei and others had nothing to say.

In the end there is really no other way.

Although there are plenty of vassal kings, when Chongzhen and the prince are both alive, it is a matter of principle that we cannot find a vassal king to supervise the country, but after all, there must be a royal member who makes the final decision. Who else can there be except the princess? At present, this is the only one of Chongzhen's children who is outside. Besides, she is not a prisoner of the country or anything. It is because all the six ministries in Nanjing have been controlled by Zuo Liangyu, and everyone is unwilling to accept the so-called imperial edict from Li Zicheng, so if you have anything, please ask She wrote a letter on behalf of everyone, but she couldn't wait for Li Zicheng's imperial edict, so she just decided to leave the letter and just do the rest.

A princess is still a princess.

She had no power to interfere in government affairs, she just submitted a petition by reporting to her father.

But everyone knows that as her father’s beloved daughter, her petition will definitely be approved by His Majesty. Since His Majesty will definitely agree, there is no need to wait for His Majesty’s imperial edict. We are all loyal ministers. If you want to get what Your Majesty wants, you don’t need Your Majesty. Just ask and let him take care of things.

Loyal minister!

This is what a loyal minister should do!

Anyway, the current Ming Dynasty is already twisted enough, and he doesn’t care about twisting it any more.

Yang Feng, who had no time to worry about anything else, set off from Nanjing the next day, changing horses at the post station, and started running towards Wuchang. As soon as he arrived in Wuhu, he intercepted He Tengjiao's five hundred mile express at the post station. Dorgon arrived in Xiangyang four days ago. Li Zicheng's army in Nanyang fled without a fight. Wang Guang'en, the commander-in-chief of Xiangyang, surrendered without a fight. Yang Feng sent the courier to continue delivering the message to Nanjing, and he continued on his way. In the afternoon, he intercepted He Tengjiao's second express request for the same five hundred miles. Zuo Menggeng intended to treason and surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and he had to flee Wuchang. When Yang Feng continued to move forward and reached Hukou, Yuan Jixian's 500-mile express was also intercepted by him. The Qing cavalry led by Duduo arrived at Suizhou, and the Suizhou garrison fled without a fight.

Then when he arrived in Jiujiang, Yang Feng finally received the first good news.

Chengtian's general Ma Jinzhong did not surrender.

Of course, he was useless, because he only held out for less than a day in the face of the Qing army's attack. After being defeated in a battle with the Qing army's forward outside the city, he was convinced that the enemy was too strong for him to resist, so he did not hesitate. He hesitantly abandoned the city and fled to Jingzhou, but he resisted in the end.

And he also bought Yang Feng half a day.

Wuchang.

"Half a day, sometimes half a day can decide everything!"

Yang Feng, who was tired of life, was holding his horse and standing on the road, looking at the strange scene in front of the city gate with emotion.

A welcome ceremony is being held there.

Amidst the sound of drums, a group of civil servants and generals coming out of the city were welcoming their guests. As for their guests, they were a group of people with money rat tails on their heads. The Gonggun princes in official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty were interacting with the money rat tails. The scene of saluting, talking and laughing does look a bit weird. Especially the leader, the Money Rat Tail, seemed to be very familiar with the person opposite him. The two of them were happy to meet old friends, holding hands under the silent gaze of the surrounding soldiers and civilians, and almost confiding their hearts to each other.

However, the Qing army has obviously not arrived yet, and these should be envoys who came in advance.

That makes sense.

These envoys must have surrendered to Dorgon in the capital.

Now let them speak from their own experience and introduce the joy of being a slave owner to the Huguang gentry.

"Excuse me, please give way."

Yang Feng said to the people watching the excitement in front of him.

The latter looked at him, then stepped aside, and Yang Feng led the two horses and continued forward.

The soldiers and civilians watching the excitement in front kept getting out of the way.

Soon he approached the welcoming scene and stopped a few people away. Then he silently turned around and took out a large zippered bag from the horse behind him. He unzipped it under the curious eyes of the people next to him. He took out his heavy armor from inside. But at least to outsiders it doesn't look like armor, but more like a set of very thick cotton robes, because the steel plates are sandwiched inside and cannot be seen from the outside. He is like a fool and a homeless man on the streets of the city. In this early autumn, Ji Ji put this thing on her body as if no one else was around...

"Brother, help hang up this buckle."

he said politely.

The guy who was studying the zipper instinctively stood up and hung up the buckle for him.

"Thank you."

He said.

Then he took off another big bag...

"You, what are you going to do?"

The man said in horror.

Yang Feng smiled and took out his helmet from his bag, put it on and took out the weapons that were also in his bag. Because Tie Lao was not easy to carry, the weapons he carried were a set that could be said to be miniature versions. It's actually something similar to Wolverine's claw, except that it's not a blade, it's just the same head as Tie Lao, and then his hand goes underneath like a shield, grabs the front grip, and puts it on the back On the arms, even the arms and arm parts have a triangular pyramid each.

One for each hand.

After putting it on, he suddenly looked like a monster in the game.

"One more favor!"

He pointed with the forward triangular pyramid at the visor on his helmet.

The man put him down tremblingly.

"Thank you, stay away, I won't splatter you with blood later!"

Yang Feng said.

Then he turned around...

"Prince Shaobao of the Ming Dynasty, the right deputy censor of the capital procuratorate, and Yang Feng, the governor of Jiliao are here. You and your traitors will die!"

he yelled.
