Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 142
At this time, Jiao Ting, the commander of the East Route Army, came to see Liu Liangzuo with great interest, and told how brave his soldiers of the East Route Army were, how vulnerable Huang Degong's men were, and were killed to the point where they lost their helmets and armor, and ran wild.

Liu Liangzuo was naturally happy and praised him a few words.Then Commander Jiao asked when to attack the imperial capital, and if he would attack the city, he would be the first echelon. Liu Liangzuo nodded in satisfaction, telling him to sit down and not worry, and send someone to pass on the news to Cai Tingzhen, the general of the West Route Army.

In fact, he didn't need to invite him, the Linhuai commander-in-chief had already entered the camp of the Chinese army in high spirits with his followers.At this time, Jiao Ting and Liu Liangzuo's pleasure and refreshment, the commander of the West Route Army, Cai Tingzhen, also has the same. The invincibility of this journey made him think that he was too humble before, invincible, invincible, even Jiang Ziya is alive , Zhuge Liang's rebirth is nothing more than that.

However, his scouts discovered that there were thousands of soldiers and horses from the imperial court in Xishanao, ten miles away.

After entering the tent and taking their seats, this Zongbing Cai followed the same routine as Zongbing Jiao, first showing his merits and then asking for instructions.Liu Liangzuo also praised him a few words. When he mentioned the 5000 people in Xishanao, Liu Liangzuo smiled contemptuously, "5000 people, what's the point?"

Liu Liangzuo actually thought that this was a temporary defensive move taken by the imperial court by surprise. A group of troops outside the city formed horns with the inside of the city in an attempt to delay time and wait for the king's teachers everywhere. Is this useful?

No wonder Liu Liangzuo was arrogant. In front of his 8 or 5000 troops, [-] troops really seemed insignificant.

What Liu Liangzuo had in mind was another major event, so he raised his deepest doubts to the two general soldiers.

Regarding the Xiongzhou Qing soldiers who have not moved for a long time, the two general officers can't tell the truth, but they both shake their heads and think that it doesn't matter now. Huang Degong's troops are defeated again and again, and the troops stationed in the Beijing camp are silent. He didn't have the courage to take the initiative to fight, and everything was easily solved when he took down the imperial capital in one go.

This is exactly what Liu Liangzuo thought. At this time, Liu Liangzuo's big bronze face was full of satisfaction, and he stroked his beard, which was not very thick and not very long, full of ambition and pride: At the beginning, I, Mr. Liu, used three Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are supporting them, and now my old Liu is fighting back with an army of one hundred thousand.Straw is straw, after all, it is not a gold bar. A foolish and incompetent little Fu Wang, even if he puts you on the throne of the god king, he is a foolish and innocent king after all.That's all for nothing, I didn't think about the kindness of supporting Li Li, took advantage of my luck to get rid of Huang Degong and Gao Jie, and wanted to do something to Lao Tzu, am I, Hua Ma Liu, a vegetarian?

Facing the ancient imperial capital, Liu Liangzuo was full of passion and emotion, as if his plot had succeeded, and even had such a picture in his mind: his [-] soldiers had already trampled the imperial capital under his feet, and the unbearable Emperor Hongguang bowed down before his eyes, Begging for a warrant, he seems to have become the master of this land!

Feeling overwhelmed, Liu Liangzuo turned his face down, and said to the two commanders-in-chief: "According to what I know, there are only [-] soldiers in the Beijing camp, and only [-] soldiers in Xishanao. Spend a little time, stop the car with your arms, but you can make a smile, the commander ordered..."

When Liu Liangzuo said this, he deliberately paused for a while, and the two general officers and the accompanying lieutenants and generals all stood up abruptly, their chests straightened, their faces as heavy as iron, and Liu Liangzuo's eyes met Liu Liangzuo's. They are also full of ambition, as if they are the masters of this world for a while.

Liu Liangzuo continued: "Jiao Zongbing's East Route Army attacked from the east, and I led the Central Route Army to attack from the south. Cai Zongbing first wiped out the troops in Xishanao with a thunderous force, and then sent his troops to attack from the west. The three-way army Take down the capital in one go, and win the battle quickly, there must be no mistakes!"

This is what it means to be as handsome as you are to have a general. Liu Liangzuo's confidantes and generals who are on the same road as Liu Liangzuo are mostly domineering people, and they all showed a heroic spirit and promised: "Obey!"

At this time, people in Nanjing City were really panicked. The four gates were closed tightly. Even if the city was not closed, no one would dare to leave the city without permission.

No one thought that the Gaojie Rebellion had just been quelled, and Liu Liangzuo was unwilling to be lonely again.While lamenting the ups and downs of the heavenly dynasty and lamenting the fate of life, some have already begun to think about the future.

Guarding the capital, the soldiers of the Beijing camp are duty-bound. Therefore, Zheng Hongkui, the governor of the Chinese army, the governor of the five armies, Yan Yingyuan, the admiral of the Beijing camp, Chen Mingyu, the soldier of the Beijing camp, and Bo Feng Houdun, the commander of the Beijing camp, Xu Wenjue, the admiral of the Caojiang navy, and Xu Wenjue, the commander of the Caojiang navy. Zheng Cai, the imperial envoy of Qiandu, Liu Kongzhao, the director of Nanjing Bingbei Road, and others, as early as when Liu Liangzuo's soldiers set foot on the land of Gyeonggi, they all took the initiative to ask for orders to fight, intending to wipe out the thieves outside the gate of the capital.

Zhu Yousong's instructions to them are still not to fight in waves, and to lure the enemy deep.Although these generals were puzzled, they had long worshiped Zhu Yousong as a god. Zhu Yousong's shocking deeds in the past three months made them only in awe and dare not have the slightest doubt.

To protect the safety of the palace and the safety of the emperor, the imperial camp is duty-bound. Therefore, when Liu Liangzuo's men and horses rushed to the vicinity of the capital, Liu Zhaoji, like the military attache of the Beijing camp, demanded to fight, but Zhu Yousong refused, and even refused to let him move to the capital. , let him stand by.Since the Yangzhou mutiny, Liu Zhaoji has long regarded Zhu Yousong as an eternal emperor who can govern the country while sitting on a dragon chair, and can conquer all directions with a war horse on his hips, so of course he obeyed this strange holy order.

Different from the reaction of the generals, the main combat faction headed by Gao Hongtu was like a toad in a well being thrown a brick. They were all aggrieved and silenced, doubting themselves, and more doubting whether the emperor had grasped the current situation of Ming Dynasty ability.

On the contrary, the Zhuhe faction and the Donglin Party all boasted and uttered nonsense, especially Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin, became active again, and felt that he had made some mistakes. If he had known that this advocating uncle was so capable, why should he look far away? Go to contact and plan to earn Zheng Zhilong and Zuo Liangyu?

Fortunately, no one seemed to question him. Mr. Qian could only deceive himself and bury these incompetence in his heart, and with the masters of Fushe and Qinhuai prostitutes, he began to plead for the people again with a mind that can see the world and foresee the future They even began to discuss the selection of well-informed and highly respected people to go to the city to persuade Liu Liangzuo to retreat. In this regard, Shi Kefa, the right servant of the Ministry of War, is famous for mediating military uprisings, and of course he was among the first to recommend.

The rise and fall, everyone is responsible.Although this Shi Gong felt that it was his duty to do so, he had to humbly give way because of face. For a while, all the living beings in Donglin pushed each other and chattered endlessly.In this case, Liu Liangzuo's troops approached the city.
