Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Most of the elite guards in Nanjing City were mobilized by Wu Sangui to go to Chuzhou Prefecture as guards to protect the emperor.

Therefore, to be precise, the city of Nanjing at this moment is made up of old and weak people with little fighting power.

When Qin Erbao led his army and Wang Shouxin cooperated inside and outside and captured the two city gates, Lu Xiangsheng led his army and poured into the city from the city gate.

Immediately began to fight with the Nanjing garrison in the city.

However, how can the old and weak in Nanjing City be able to withstand the world's leading warriors who have appeared on the Liaodong battlefield long ago?

Encountering almost no decent resistance, Lu Xiangsheng and Xiong Tingbi occupied the Yingtianfu Yamen and the Nanjing City garrison!

Qin Erbao, on the other hand, took his elite troops and fought all the way to the Imperial City of Nanjing.

At this time, the commander of the Royal Forest Army guarding the Forbidden City was shot by Qin Erbao with an arrow before he could realize what had happened.

He fell straight down from the city.

"Watch all the entrances and exits of the inner palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order!"

In just three hours, when it was daylight, the battle in Nanjing City was over.

Gou Ying and other newly promoted civil and military officials in Nanjing were also taken to Yingtian Mansion Office and were placed under strict guard, awaiting execution.

Overnight, the King's Flag was replaced on the city wall of Nanjing, leaving many people still in a dream.

Countless gentry and nobles were trembling with fear at this moment, fearing that Wang Qi would be the first to attack them after entering the city.

However, as a civil servant, Xiong Tingbi immediately issued a three-chapter notice prohibiting disturbing the people to calm people's hearts.

This made some anxious nobles feel relieved.

"It seems that Qi Guogong still has some use for us? I guess he won't kill everyone, right?"

"I think that if he, Wang Qi, wants to secure his position, he must unite the gentry and officials like us. Otherwise, can he alone and with tens of thousands of troops and horses in his hands, be able to secure his position? After all, power, this thing, Mysterious and mysterious, who knows what the situation will be like in a few years?"

"We will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. As long as Wang Qi enters Nanjing, we will bow down, make a sign of submission, and offer some family wealth and money. Then there will be room for recovery! It will not make me die and my family will be destroyed."

"Yes, yes, Wang Qi Wufu, where have you seen the colorful scenery of Nanjing City and the Qinhuai Golden Grottoes? Only when he arrives will you be able to see what his ambitions are!"

In Nanjing City, countless gentry and wealthy families were cautiously waiting for Wang Qi to enter Nanjing City.

In their hearts, the emperor may have been dead long ago.

Furthermore, the presence or absence of the Ming Dynasty has little to do with their wealth. The key is that they have huge resources in their hands, resources that even Wang Qi cannot refuse, which is what this group of people rely on.

"Let's wait for Wang Qi to enter Nanjing!"

Chuzhou Prefecture.

Zhu Youjian didn't sleep well last night.

I was plagued by nightmares and woke up many times in a daze.

Every time, I dreamed that I fell from the high throne, and there was an endless abyss under me, and then the sky was filled with flames, and thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were lost like quicksand between my fingers, and then I fell into a trance, It's Wang Qi's extremely cold face. Under his feet, he is stepping on the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty and the Zhu family's empire!

"don't want!!!!"

Zhu Youjian woke up from the bed, breathing heavily, with sweat condensing on every hair.

At this moment, Zhu Youjian felt that it was a bit rash for him to leave Nanjing.

"Your Majesty, I have another nightmare." Wang Chengen came in from the outer side hall and took several maids to help the emperor wash up.

"What time is it?" Standing on the ground, closing his eyes slightly, Zhu Youjian opened his arms and placed them with the palace ladies.

"It's the end of the hour," Wang Chengen replied cautiously: "Master Zuo and the others are already waiting in the outer courtyard. Before meeting Wang Qi, they need to discuss it carefully with all of you."

As soon as he heard the word Wang Qi, Zhu Youjian suddenly trembled, and then he remembered the dream last night, which was frightening and chilling to the bone.

Not long after, Zhu Youjian finished washing and walked out the door. At the same time, he ordered: "Let Zuo Aiqing and others accompany me to eat together."

"By the way," Zhu Youjian seemed to have remembered something: "I always feel a little uneasy about trying to send people out of the city to explore the situation in Nanjing City."

"My slave understands." Wang Chengen nodded: "I will send someone out soon."

After a while, they arrived at the temporary side hall of the palace.

The three princes were all present, and Zhu Youjian was sitting at the top.

"At three quarters past noon, His Majesty is going to meet Wang Qi." Yang Lian had been bumping into Wang Qi every day in the past few days, and now he was a little numb: "I thought that the current situation is stronger than others. We have a large number of troops and a reputation that is famous all over the world. No matter what, when we are negotiating, our bottom line is to protect Nanjing City and His Majesty for the sake of his funeral."

This is the countermeasure that Yang Lian and others discussed last night. No matter what, Nanjing City and Zhu You must be secured.

Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty would really have collapsed.

"What if he wants Nanjing City?" Zhu Youjian put his head on his hands and looked exhausted: "My dear friends, do you have any countermeasures?"

"We still have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Nanjing, and Yuan Keli still has more than 10,000 elite troops," Yang Lian replied, "Your Majesty does not need to be so worried!"

"In any case, Wang Qi is determined not to kill the king in order to maintain superficial stability," Gao Panlong said at the right time: "We can take advantage of his mentality and deal with it. As long as the bottom line is maintained, all other conditions will be met by then. We can talk! Everything can be discussed!”

Yang Lian originally wanted to fight to the death with Wang Qi.

As soon as he met Wang Qi, Yang Lian planned to hit him to death in front of Wang Qi and let him suffer infamy forever.

But Yang Lian also figured it out in the past few days.

Rather than die, it is better to live well and continue fighting with Wang Qi.

Yang Lian believes that evil will not prevail against good, and one day, the world will be clarified again! ! !

"Nanjing City" Zhu Youjian opened his eyes with difficulty and glanced at the last person: "Zuo Aiqing, what do you think?"

"Old minister, I am a little worried about Nanjing City." Gao Panlong had always had a bad feeling when Chongzhen arrived in Chuzhou Prefecture yesterday.

Once Chongzhen left, wouldn't Nanjing be an empty city?

Thinking of this matter, Gao Panlong felt flustered.

"What are you worried about? Nanjing City is guarded by Gou Ying and Yuan Keli." Yang Lian flicked his sleeves and directly interrupted Zuo Guangdou: "Zuo Yizhi, now, right now, when he is about to see Wang Qi, There is no need to say any more depressing words, our bottom line and plan have been set, don’t disturb the morale of the military at this time!"

"Your Majesty, if Nanjing falls, I think we should fight on the spot and kill Wang Qi! Then we will survive!!!" Zuo Guangdou ignored Yang Lian's rage and just looked at Zhu Youjian: "This is our only Opportunity!"

"This is Wang Qi!" Zhu Youjian subconsciously felt that this matter could not succeed.

"Wei Chen will contact Wu Sangui, and when the swords and weapons are facing each other, even if Wang Qi wields soldiers like a god and is as wise as a demon, he will not be able to withstand this sword!" Zuo Guangdou's expression was full of determination.

———— Wang Qi chose the meeting place at the Yamen of the former magistrate of Chuzhou Prefecture.

The front hall is solemn and the courtyard is spacious.

It's a good place for talks.

At noon, the prefect's Yamen.

"Your Majesty, please!"

Wang Chengen wiped his sleeves on the chair, helped Zhu Youjian sit down, and then respectfully brought water for wiping, going back and forth, busy.

Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, and Gao Panlong sat together behind the emperor, while Wu Sangui and his personal guards were guarding him.

At this moment, Wang Qi has not yet arrived at the table and chairs opposite.

In November, the weather in Chuzhou Prefecture has also turned cold.

Zhu Youjian had already finished a cup of tea. Looking at the empty seat opposite, his already bad mood became heavier.

"What does Wang Qi mean? Are you showing off your power by leaving the emperor hanging here?" Zuo Guangdou stood up and said to the guard on the side: "How can you be respected by others with such magnanimity?"

"Sir, the time has not come yet," the guard obviously did not want to pay attention to Zuo Guangdou, and said with a smile: "Besides, when the Duke will arrive is not something we can answer at will."

Taking a deep breath, Zuo Guangdou twitched his brows and leaned back, obviously about to have an attack.

"The chief has arrived!!!"

Suddenly, a roll call came from outside the mansion.

Everyone in the hall turned to look.

Wearing a round-collar brocade robe, Wang Qi came with only three guards.

Zuo Guangdou, who was standing by the threshold, saw a secret letter in Wang Qi's hand. He frowned slightly: Something really happened?

"I've kept you waiting for a long time." After Wang Qi arrived, he didn't exchange too many greetings, let alone greet Zhu Youjian. Instead, he walked around the table and sat in his seat.

"Today's meeting, I had already started arranging it when I knew that someone in Nanjing had ascended the throne." Wang Qi sat back on his chair and looked at the people sitting upright, especially Zhu Youjian in the middle, with a smile on his lips. His eyes were deep: "So, Chongzhen, we meet again."

Geek!

For a moment, Chongzhen's mind was filled with the palace of the Huzhou vassal, and Wang Qi's warning to him at that time - as long as you are obedient, someone can make you the emperor!

"You promised me!" Subconsciously, Zhu Youjian blurted out, almost word for word: "As the chief executive, you cannot keep your word without trusting your words!"

"I have accomplished what I promised you," Wang Qi spread his hands: "Now, it's time for me to collect the reward!"

The few people sitting behind Zhu Youjian, whether it was Zuo Guangdou or Yang Lian, did not understand what kind of riddle Wang Qi and the emperor were playing?

How come the emperor never mentioned this matter before the meeting?

"I" Zhu Youjian subconsciously called me, but after seeing Wang Qi's cold eyes, he immediately changed his words: "Qi Guogong, you have to think about the world's scholars and hundreds of millions of people! If there is a war, all life will be ruined! "

"I invite you Chongzhen to come over today. There is only one problem." Wang Qi shook his head and interrupted Zhu Youjian: "Follow me to Nanjing City, announce your abdication, and change the Ming Dynasty to the Huaxia Kingdom. From now on, there will be no emperor in the world! You just need to Answer, agree or disagree! No need to say the rest!"

"We are not desperate yet. There are still tens of thousands of troops in Nanjing City. The hearts of the people in the world are with the Zhu family. What do you, Wang Qi, have to be proud of! If everything is really going to die, who will be the winner?" Yang Lian slapped the table and humiliated his ministers. Damn it, he couldn't stand Wang Qi's light and airy posture anymore.

It was as if the emperor, in his eyes, was an object that could be discarded at any time!

What's even more hateful is that he clearly can be the emperor, but he seems to give it up and doesn't even take a second look!

This made Yang Wenru, who had read the books of emperors, ministers, fathers and sons, extremely angry - it seemed that all the articles and classics in this life, to Wang Qi, were all things that could be thrown into the toilet!

"Chongzhen, I don't have much patience," Wang Qi ignored Yang Lian's barking and tapped the table with his finger to remind Zhu Youjian.

"What if I don't agree?" Zhu Youjian tried to straighten up and face Wang Qi.

"I originally wanted to give you a chance," Wang Qi shook his head and sighed: "In this way, it will be easier for me to explain to Emperor Taizu."

"What are you talking about?" Zhu Youjian had an unpleasant feeling in his heart.

"Nanjing City," Wang Qi picked up the envelope with his fingers: "At three o'clock today, when you were sleeping peacefully, it had already fallen."

"Kill Wang Qi!!!" When Zuo Guangdou heard the words Nanjing City, he stood up directly, pointed at Wang Qi and roared: "Wu Sangui, take this opportunity to kill Wang Qi!!!"

This is the only chance!

The moment Zuo Guangdou saw Wang Qi entering the palace, the letter clamped on his finger made this veteran of three dynasties and the backbone of Donglin despair.

The city of Nanjing seems to have really fallen.

But Zuo Guangdou would not give up easily.

When Shi Kefa died, Zuo Guangdou was calm;

Zuo Guangdou was calm when he heard that Zhu Youjian was wooing everyone with the intention of ascending to the throne;

When he was detained in Chuzhou Mansion, Zuo Guangdou was calm;

But now, facing the last chance to get out of Wang Qi, Zuo Guangdou could no longer bear it.

Since the city of Nanjing has fallen, it means that the Ming Dynasty is not far away.

Zuo Guangdou became angry,

Then let Wang Qi be buried with the Ming Dynasty!

A loud sound!

Wu Sangui had already drawn the long sword from his waist, and after standing up, all the soldiers also made a gesture of drawing their swords.

At the same time, dozens of personal guards behind Wang Qi stepped forward to protect Wang Qi.

For a moment, the hall was already tense.

"Yes, yes," Zhu Youjian stood up from his chair at this time, almost crazy, with his hair disheveled, pointing at Wang Qi and shouting: "Whoever kills Wang Qi will be granted the title of King with a different surname! King with a different surname!!"

Yang Lian and Gao Panlong subconsciously stood up and guarded Zhu Youjian's side to prevent Wang Qi from hurting anyone.

At the last second when both sides took action,

Wang Qi finally spoke: "Back off!"

Wang Qi gave an order, causing the knife-wielders on both sides to stop their movements.

Under Wang Qi's rule, all orders and prohibitions were enforced.

And his prestige is also quite high among the soldiers in Nanjing City.

After all, who knows that he is the number one military man in the world today?

"What are you doing standing still, Wu Sangui, kill him! Kill him!" Zuo Guangdou pointed at Wu Sangui with his fingers and a knife: "How can you not avenge the murder of your father?"

Of course Wu Sangui hated Wang Qi very much.

But the current situation made Wu Sangui hesitate.

If Nanjing City really fell, would it be necessary for me to serve Zhu Youjian?

Wu Sangui has always been known for being extremely calm and rational. Judging from the actions of Wu Sangui in Shanhaiguan in later generations, his father or lover was far less important in his heart than his personal future.

When both sides were in a stalemate in the field, Wang Qi glanced at him and spoke again, pointing his hand at Wu Sangui: "Wu Sangui, with a backhand knife, you killed Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, and Gao Panlong! Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, can you give me some help?" It’s your turn!” (End of chapter)
