Ming Zuo

Chapter 1360 Kaesong Surrenders

The civil and military forces of Ming Dynasty in Nanjing hadn't figured out a countermeasure yet, the Xia army was already approaching the city.

Ten battleships lined their guns, followed by twenty troop carriers carrying a regiment of troops.

It seems that there are not many people, but Zuo Hua is full of confidence.

"The city of Nanjing, although it is known as a place where tigers occupy dragons and dragons, has never been brave since ancient times. The people in the city are used to luxury and luxury, and they have no determination to fight to the death."

The army is seriously preparing for battle, but Zuo Hua is very calm.

With a flick of the fishing rod, every time the air force.

Hong Jingcai had already entered the city, so he just waited for news.

He planned to give the people in the city two days, as long as they took Nanjing before Zuo Rong arrived.

Although they are brothers, Zuo Hua intends to take the credit for taking down the city of Nanjing to himself.

After all, it is one of the two capitals of Ming Dynasty, and the meaning of winning here is different from other places.

In the city, facing the threat of Hong Jingcai showing his sharpness, all civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty panicked.

Guard the city?

They dare not think about it.

Just by counting the number of artillery on the river, they knew they couldn't hold it.

The already rotten Ming army in Nanjing City, it is estimated that after a round of artillery fire, all of them will stop.

But Hong Jingcai made his words very clear.

Kaesong's surrender can save life and wealth.

If you don't surrender, you will be liquidated as a war criminal.

Everyone knows that once they are liquidated as war criminals, the end will be terrible.

The emperor is gone, and so is Daming.Few of these people present can be called loyal ministers and filial sons, and they don't want to be buried with Daming.

The only thing I think about is that I want to kneel down decently.

In the final analysis, it is a reluctance to bear the power in hand.I hope that Xia Guo can give them a chance and let them continue to be officials.

"Hehe, I have long admired Xia Guo from all over Nanjing. Even if it is for the safety of the people in the city, I dare not make peace with each other. It's just..."

He Shishou, the chief grain reserve, was hesitant to speak, obviously hoping to get a job in Xia Guo.

Hong Jingcai saw things clearly, with a face full of sarcasm.

"If you want to be an official in our country, it's not impossible."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up.

Hong Jingcai changed the topic.

"If you are willing to go to the government affairs school, learn from the beginning, start from the grassroots, we also wholeheartedly welcome."

The vast majority of people looked down.

They already have high-ranking officials and rich salary, the worst are third-rank officials.Surrendering to Xia Guo has to start all over again, I can't lose my figure!

But they also understood that Xia Guo absolutely had no room for negotiation.

Either live or die, this is their only choice.

Hong Jingcai left, and Nanjing Civil and Military Affairs also dispersed.

These people are not of the same mind, and they can't discuss anything when they sit together.

So the nobles gathered into a group, headed by Xu Hongji and Liu Kongzhao; the Qingliu formed a group, headed by Zhang Guowei, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Hu Yingtai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

There is another group of people who are the remnants of the eunuchs.

Ma Shiying hurried back to the mansion, there were already several people waiting here.

"My lord, have you ever done it properly?"

There is a person secretly hiding in Ma Shiying's mansion, and that is the notorious Ruan Dacheng.

After the fall of the capital, Nanjing obviously became the last afterglow of Ming Dynasty.

Ma Shiying wanted to control the court here, and felt that he lacked helpers, so he decided to support Ruan Dacheng.

Ruan Dacheng was like a rat crossing the street, and finally someone was willing to support him, so he naturally did his best to help Ma Shiying with his plans.

Ma Shiying's face was full of ferocity.

"Xia's army has already arrived, just outside the city on the river, and there is no telling when they will attack the city. There are people in the city who are greedy for life and fear of death. According to the old man, I am afraid they will open the city and surrender. Once that time comes, everything will be in vain. stop."

Ruan Dacheng was also anxious.

"Is there no one who is loyal?"

He is not only a eunuch, but also a traitor of the Donglin Party.

And the Donglin Party has all the high-level officials in Xia, and they will never let him go.

Ma Shiying is also a gambler.

"For the current plan, the only way is to contact people of insight and quickly escort King Fu into the palace. As long as His Royal Highness King Fu inherits the Datong, there will be no room for change, and there will be great things to do in the future."

He decided to take the risk.

King Tuifu came to the throne before anyone else turned around.

As long as King Fu has the title of emperor, civil and military officials in Nanjing have no choice but to hold their noses to recognize it.

There is an imperial palace in the city of Nanjing. Although it has been idle for a long time and it is a little dilapidated, it is enough to complete the ceremony.

Of course Ruan Dacheng had no objection.

The two quickly gathered servants and thugs, and ran to find Zhu Yousong.

Zhu Yousong had no idea. Since Ma Shiying was willing to recommend him as emperor, of course he obeyed.

A group of people ran to the palace again, but they were blocked by people halfway.

"Hehe, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dacheng, you guys are really wicked."

Cao Jia, director of the Southern Zhili Department of the Ministry of Intelligence, was there, but his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Xia Jun is about to enter the city, and the busiest thing is the staff of the intelligence department lurking in the city.

They have been dispatched everywhere, contacting officials from all walks of life, trying to get more people to give up resistance.

As for Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, who have a dangerous position, they are naturally the objects of strict surveillance.

As soon as the two of them ran to King Fu, Cao Jia got the news.

Guessing the intentions of the two, Cao Jia quickly arranged a killing situation.

Seeing that there were not many people around Cao Jia, Ma Shiying felt ruthless.

"If you kill them, there will be a lot of rewards!"

Hearing this, the servants and thugs rushed over with all their energy, brandishing their sticks.

Seeing that these people didn't even have a knife in their hands, Cao Jia lacked interest and didn't want to do it himself.

Two subordinates ran to the front, each carrying a tube, aiming ahead.

Boom...boom...

Two rockets ejected from their chambers and exploded in the street.

The raging shrapnel and violent explosion waves wiped out servants and thugs on the spot.

These people are usually just local hooligans, bullying and bullying the common people, when did they meet such fierce ones?

Twenty or thirty people were killed on the spot, and the rest were also terrified.With a groan, enduring the wet crotch, he turned around and ran away.

The Ministry of Intelligence began to work.

One after another muskets roared, killing these unworthy people one after another.

Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng looked at the defeat, they all fell to the ground, and they didn't know if they regretted it.

Wei Guogong's mansion and all the nobles in Nanjing ran over, hoping that Xu Hongji could help with that idea.

"This old man and Xia Guo are old friends. Over the years, thanks to Xia Guo's blessings, they have really earned some money. Since he has given face, we have to take advantage of it. We can't beat him, so why fight hard?"

Xu Hongji has a clear attitude.

No matter what others do, he intends to surrender.

As long as he can save the lives and wealth of his family, he doesn't care about the rest.

Moreover, he has quite a lot of connections in Xia Guo. In a few years, if the timing is right, the Xu family can still gain momentum.

But other nobles don't think so.

"If you surrender, the glory and wealth of your ancestors will be gone."

The big guys are all nobles who lived together with Daming and the country, relying on Daming to eat and drink spicy food.

Once surrendered to the Xia Kingdom, the wealth and honor in the past must be gone.

This makes many people unbalanced.

"If you don't surrender, these three people are role models."

Cao Jia appeared murderously, threw the bloody heads of Zhu Yousong, Ma Shiying, and Ruan Dacheng in front of the nobles, and issued an ultimatum.
