Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 359
"10 million taels?"

Xu Yunjue screamed uncontrollably, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, the housekeeper jumped up in fright, and tremblingly told the former Duke Wei of the Ming Dynasty, "Yan Jinglue's pacesetters have already broken into the mansion. A battalion came, and a few battalions of city guards."

The city defense soldiers are strong people, but Jingbiao is Yan Wogong's confidant.

"Where can I get him another 10 taels of silver? You tell the Jingbiao battalion officer that he thinks there is something valuable in this mansion, just move it!" Xu Yunjue shouted angrily.

As the Qing army is getting more and more troubled now, those Nanjing nobles who originally surrendered in Kaesong are becoming more and more restless.They had had enough of the Qing army's endless forced donations or loans.

Xu Yunjue had already been forced to pay out 50 taels of silver, some of which were discounted with some jade and jewelry.

Now I have to borrow another 10 taels.

The butler persuaded in a low voice, "Master, Zhao Tongzhi was beheaded by Jinglue yesterday and his home was ransacked. There are more than 100 others who were beheaded and ransacked together. This Yan Jinglue is going crazy now. You can't screw it up."

Xu Yunjue sat down helplessly, "Then what should I do? Who will suffer if this is endless, besides, it seems that this dog tartar may not be able to gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan now."

"What does the master mean?"

"When a ship leaks and is about to sink, you can't just think about how to fill the leak. You have to find a way to replace it with a leak-proof boat to be the safest."

······
Yan Wogong sent a bidding camp all over the city to find big households to borrow money, but in the end he only got together 20 taels of silver. Go to Xiaoling to the Emperor Zhu's family.

Then, that night, the Ming army suddenly launched an attack on Zhengyangmen, Chaoyangmen, Tongjimen, Taipingmen, Jubaomen and other city gates.

The Ming army attacked rapidly.

Fired rockets, etc. on the city, and blasted the water gate.

Yan Wogong hurriedly mobilized troops and horses to defend separately. As a result, the Ming army launched an attack at Yifengmen and other places in the west.

There are swords and swords everywhere, and the sound of shouting and killing everywhere.

In the dark night, in the former Duke Xu's mansion, when Xu Yunjue heard the news, he immediately summoned his clan's children and servants.

"How's the situation going?"

"Master Wang's offensive is very fierce, and he is attacking the city in an all-round way. It seems that all the thirteen gates of the inner city have been attacked."

Xu Yunjue patted his thigh, "I said, how could Your Majesty really be greedy for the redemption money and not attack Nanjing City? He just deliberately paralyzed these hypocrites and tartars before, and the attack was just a surprise."

"Brother, what shall we do?"

"Want to wait any longer?"

The members of the Xu family were very excited when they spoke to each other, but they were also a little shy.

Xu Yunjue's face was full of red, "I think the city of Nanjing will be destroyed this time. We have sacrificed the city before. This time we have to make amends."

"Call everyone up and fight."

Xu Yunjue saw that there was a lot of fighting outside, so he took his family members Ding Nucai and others to copy all kinds of weapons and killed them, shouting and killing all the way, and sent people to urgently contact Tang Guozuo, Zhao Zhilong and many other old honors.

All families were also in the same mind. Listening to the shouts of killing outside, they all felt that the Ming army would definitely be able to attack this time. Naturally, they had to act quickly anyway, or else they would be liquidated when the Ming army came into the city.

In the government office of Jiangning, Mr. Yan also carried a knife.

One by one, the soldiers came in and out.

Countless news are gathered.

He sat there with his most trusted generals.

"Everything went according to plan and went very smoothly."

"Our troops have been transferred to the western city for defense. Now the eastern gates are dominated by city defense troops, and those who are in charge of command are those who are not our own."

·······
"Jinglue, the Tongji water gate has been breached, and the Ming army has entered the city."

"Report, Tongji Gate has fallen."

"The fire gate fell."

"Chaoyang Gate fell."

"Zhengyang Gate has fallen."

"Report, the Ming army has broken through Hongwumen and entered the imperial city."

·······
dawn.

The shouting has gradually stopped.

Last night, the Ming army launched an air raid on the thirteen outer cities of Nanjing and several water gates at the same time, and finally succeeded in attacking from the east, and captured the imperial city and palace city in one fell swoop, and even almost captured the entire city at one point.

In the end, Yan Jinglue put on his armor and led the Biaoying Chinese Army to personally rush to the Qinhuai River to defend and counterattack. In the end, he insisted on tearing down and burning countless houses on the Qinhuai River, burning a fire dragon to block the Ming army's offensive, and finally along the Qinhuai River. He established a line of defense and held his ground.

The Ming army was unwilling to attack several times, but failed in the end, and finally had to withdraw its troops.

Although the outer city was defended, the loss of the imperial city of Miyagi and several city gates was still a huge defeat for the Qing army.

What's more, last night some people took the opportunity to cause chaos, trying to attack the Qing army in the city to respond to the Ming army.

"Bring all those damned guys up!"

Following Yan Wogong's angry shout, Jingbiao soldiers dragged a group of people up. These people were beaten with bruised noses and swollen faces, some had blood on their faces, and some had disheveled hair.

Some of them screamed and begged for mercy, while others cursed continuously.

Yan Wogong stepped forward and looked at the group of losers.

"Wei Guogong Xu Yunjue,
Zhang Guobi, Duke of Baoguo,

Zhang Gongri, Marquis of Longping,

Li Zushu, Marquis of Linhuai,

Sun Weicheng, Marquis of Huaining,
Tang Guozuo, Marquis of Lingbi,

Liu Zuochang, Marquis of Anyuan,

Xu Hongjue, Marquis of Yongchang,

Deng Wenyu, Marquis of Dingyuan,

Xiang Chengbo Chang Yingjun,

Daxing Bo Zou Cunyi,

Ning Jinbo Liu Yunji,

Nan and Bofang are one yuan,
Dongning Bojiao Mengxiong,

An Chengbo Zhang Guocai,

Luo Zhongbo Huang Jiuding,

Uncle Xin Cheng, Zhao Zhilong,

Cheng Amber Guo Zuoyong······
Two dukes, seven marquises and nine uncles.

Yan Wogong confirmed his identity one by one and verified his identity.

"You people first opened Nanjing to welcome King Yu into the city, and now you are the ones who rebelled and are going to welcome the Ming army. What do you say, why do you repeatedly jump around?"

"Don't you have any stance?"

"Isn't there a little bit of etiquette and shame?"

Zhao Zhilong's face was ashamed, he never expected that the Ming army attacked the city last night, but failed to take Jiangning City.

Tang Guozuo cursed and threatened Yan Wogong, "I am the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, and after the founding of the country, the majestic Lingbihou of the Ming Dynasty. You are already dying, and you dare to treat me like this. If you are more sensible, let us go quickly, and then I can still beg for your favor in front of His Majesty, and spare your life."

Yan Wogong looked at the group of people.

The Duke of the Ming Dynasty, Hou Xungui, who was once the tallest and most closely tied to the country.

When the country fell, they were the least loyal group of people.

Open Nanjing City and welcome the Qing army to enter the city.

When Daming was short of silver, these people didn't take out any money. As a result, during his stay in Jiangning, he got millions of taels of silver from these people.

This is only part of their wealth.

Now I'm still trying to turn my back on the water to clear myself, how can there be such a cheap thing?

"Drag it out, chop it all up!"

"All their family members were put in prison cells, and all their property was confiscated."

"you dare!"

"Surnamed Yan, you must die!"

·······
Yan Wogong just responded with a sneer. Regarding the final disposal of this group of people, he actually asked His Majesty the Emperor for instructions. Zhu Yihai dismissed these so-called honorable people, thinking that these people were absolutely innocent and even less pitiful, so There is no need to keep it.

It's a disaster to keep it, so it's better to use Yan Wogong's identity to cleanse it, firstly to deter those surrenderers who are not firm in their stance, and secondly to confiscate huge sums of money to help the army.

The family members who left them behind were imprisoned for the time being, it was Zhu Yihai who looked at their ancestors' meritorious deeds and made a special decree to pardon them.

There are some things that it is not easy for Zhu Yihai to come forward to do it directly, but now the identity of Yan Wogong is very convenient and there are no taboos.
