The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 685

Following Yang Tinglin's eloquent talk for another half an hour, the news spread quickly, and the whole city of Nanjing was boiling.

"Hey, old Zhangtou, have you heard? Huguang has already been pacified..."

"I heard! It is said that it was to deceive the Tartars to underestimate the enemy, so the court did not spread the news. At this time, the Tartars have been defeated!"

"Today, the soldiers are really used like gods. Jiannu has been raging since the year of the apocalypse, and finally someone can control them!"

"In the past, some people always said that the current emperor is Erlang Xiansheng and the real king. I didn't believe it at first, but now I look at it, it is absolutely certain."

Immediately, the entire Nanjing, regardless of the army or civilians, swept away the current anxiety of the enemy, and everyone rushed to tell each other, and the morale was soaring.

There are also people who look at the rice vat at home and secretly regret, "If I knew this, I wouldn't have so much brown rice..."

In fact, before the war started, Zhu Linmi ordered Yang Tinglin to transfer 18 shi of grain and rice to Beijing.The Department of Parity distributes these grains into the market, and the supply is always sufficient, and the grain price is firmly suppressed without fluctuations.Therefore, even if the Jianlu soldiers came to the city, the people did not rush to buy food, and even if the grain was stored, they would only buy five or six buckets at most.

Now that everyone knows that Huguang has been settled and that Jianlu was defeated by Wang Shi, no one is worried about the food problem anymore. Some wealthy households even picked up grain and rice to send to the Ming army defending the city.

At the same time, more young people began to spontaneously help defend the city or carry luggage.The city walls of Nanjing were crowded with people for a while.

At dusk, several cavalry bypassed the Jianlu camp outside the city, entered Nanjing through the north gate, and handed over a secret military report and a wooden box to Zhen Zhen.

Zhen Zhen opened the letter box first, glanced at the secret newspaper, and immediately smiled, "The Holy Majesty smashed the captives in Ximing Mountain, captured [-] thieves, and the rest of the thieves scattered and fled, Jiangnan Dading!"

Next to him was a man in his fifties who was dressed in casual clothes and walked quickly after hearing the words. It turned out to be Yang Tinglin, a scholar of the dynasty.

He took the secret letter and read it several times carefully, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, "God bless Daming! God bless Daming!"

When he announced during the day that Jianlu was defeated, he didn't know the details of the battle. He just followed Zhu Linming's order to boost the morale of the city, and then he stayed in the army to wait for news from the front.

It wasn't until this time that his high-hanging heart was completely relieved, and he couldn't help sighing: "Since ancient times, in troubled times, there will always be strange people. Fortunately, the heavens have descended to the present emperor to Daming, so that the society and the common people can have everything. Except for the ancestors and Chengzu, there is no one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Holy One!"

Zhen Zhen nodded with a smile.In fact, in her heart, Zhu Yuanzhang, who founded Ming Dynasty, could be compared with her Majesty. Zhu Di only took the power of the whole country to raid the Tartars' homes a few times, and he was not far behind.

But she definitely wouldn't say anything disrespectful to the late Emperor, and she pointed to the wooden box and asked the messenger, "What is this?" Then she opened the lid of the box.

Immediately, a bloody smell rushed over her face, but fortunately she was also a battle-hardened person, and she was still calm, but Yang Tinglin who was next to her was shocked, there were two bloody heads in that box!
The officer who delivered the letter hurriedly said: "Return to General Zhen, this is the leader of the captive Gong Adai and Shang Kexi! Originally, the Holy Majesty wanted to send Duoduo's head, but General Zhang was worried that the captives would intercept him on the way, so he sent it to Gong Adai instead. .But the lower official’s bag contains Duoduo helmet, armor and other things.”

Zhen Zhen was overjoyed when he heard the words, "The Holy Majesty sent these things, and the odds of winning tomorrow will increase!"

At dawn the next day, the sky was still extremely dark.

Mu Jilun was sleeping soundly in his tent when he heard a sudden cannon fire from the city of Nanjing.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, cursed and pulled out the curtain, "Damn it, what the hell is the barbarian doing?"
