Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 295

After Gu Yanwu left the pier for more than a quarter of an hour, three jet-black monster ships with plumes of smoke led countless warships and civilian ships to the river outside Nanjing City.

At this time, many people looked up the river, but still couldn't see the end of Fanyun.

Some knowledgeable people couldn't help sighing: "There are no less than a thousand naval warships. If civilian ships are included, there may be as many as thousands. Could it be that Zuo Liangyu, who guards Wuchang, has come?"

As more and more warships stayed on the river, it was obvious that they meant to berth outside Nanjing. No matter how big-hearted the people were, they didn't dare to stay near the pier, and they all packed up their things and left in a hurry.

But there are also some literati, scholars, or some knowledgeable businessmen, who can't help being surprised after seeing the flags on the warships.

"The first town of the Yangtze River Navy?"

"The Great Ming Supervisor?"

"That's... the Sun Moon Dragon Banner?!"

When a big black ship with a plume of smoke sailed to the river in front of the pier, the sun, moon and dragon flags erected on it immediately surprised many knowledgeable people.

Because in Daming, only Zhu Ming's royal family is eligible to fly the Sun Moon Dragon Banner when traveling, and they must be directly related to the royal family.

That is to say, it must be a prince, prince, or vassal king of Caijufan.

Looking at the banner of "Da Ming Supervising the Kingdom", someone finally remembered some rumors in the past.

"I heard that Princess Kunxing is in charge of the country in Sichuan. Could it be that this huge navy belongs to Princess Kunxing?"

"No way? Even if Princess Kunxing is really in Sichuan to supervise the country, why did she come all the way to Nanjing?"

"Why not? Don't forget, the Ming court is now in Nanjing, and the new emperor is also in Nanjing."

"···"

After a while, these people were in no mood to argue.

I saw that those warships quickly occupied the various docks by the river, and then groups of soldiers came down from above.

These soldiers are all wearing plate armor and flying saucer hats, a few wearing general helmets and fiery red robes.

After getting off the boat, they will form a queue, and when they walk, they will be full of vigor, and the sound of the collision of swords and armor, footsteps and even faint sounds will merge into one sound.

Such an army has shocked many people who are used to the laziness of the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Jingying and the banditry of the officers and soldiers of the four towns in Jiangbei.

"Elite! This is the real elite teacher!" An old man with a gray beard couldn't help applauding.

"Which general's team is this?" someone couldn't help asking.

Immediately there was an answer: "Didn't you see the flag, 'The First Town of the Imperial Guard', uh, this number is so strange."

"···"

At this time, the vast majority of ordinary people left because of fear of trouble, but some scholars, literati, rangers and other knowledgeable and bold people could not help but watch from afar.

I saw that after the soldiers of the first town of the imperial guards came ashore, they methodically occupied all the important places of the pier and set up defenses on the spot.

Immediately afterward, ships sailed back and forth, and more officers and soldiers went ashore.

There are finally normal banners inside.

"'Jiang Waterproof Division Admiral' and 'Huang' character general flag, this is General Huang Fei who is stationed in Zhenjiang."

"Hey, look at the back, there is a yellow general flag!"

"'Jingnan Bo', 'Huang', this could not be Jingnan Hou Huang Degong, right? How did he become an uncle?"

"···"

No one answered.

For a while, as more and more soldiers and horses came ashore from the pier, the air became heavier and heavier.

Even these bold and knowledgeable people realized that something big was about to happen, so they didn't dare to stay longer and left one after another.

When these people were about to enter the city, they found that the gates of the city had already been under martial law.It was not closed, so it did not prevent these people from entering the city.

At the same time, the news of the arrival of the army on the pier quickly spread to various government offices in Nanjing...
Imperial City.

The lobby of the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

Li Yongmao, the right servant of the Ministry of War, was pacing, frowning.

When he came to work this morning, he heard that there was unusual movement in the Beijing camp last night, so he wanted to ask Ruan Dayue.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Dayue was not in the lobby of the Ministry of War, nor was he on duty in the cabinet, and the person sent to inquire said that he had been sent by the emperor and Yuan Fu to the Jinshen Palace for discussion.

After receiving this reply, Li Yongmao thought that what the cabinet ministers and the emperor were talking about was the changes in the Beijing camp last night, so he felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, not long ago, someone came to report that many warships came from the upper reaches of the river, and I don't know who is in charge of them.

On the one hand, Li Yongmao sent people to the Jinshen Hall to report to the emperor and the cabinet ministers, and on the other hand, he sent people to Chengyibo's mansion to inquire about Liu Kongzhao.

The city of Nanjing is built along the river, and the Jingying Navy is a very important defensive force. There are so many warships on the upper reaches of the river, and Liu Kongzhao, as the patrol envoy of Caojiang, should not be ignorant. It can even be said that he has made a mistake. .

Of course, Li Yongmao didn't forget to let people continue to stare at the pier and report the situation in time.

Other officials of the Ministry of War, such as the principal and Lang Zhong, are also aware that the situation is not good, but now the three cabinet ministers, several nobles in charge of the Beijing camp, and Gao Qiqian, the eunuch who supervised the Beijing camp, are all gone. The official can only be anxious.

"Report-"

There was a shout from outside.

But the person Li Yongmao sent to watch the pier before came back.

Before the man could catch his breath, Li Yongmao hurriedly asked, "How's the situation? Do you know who owns those warships?"

"Yes... it's the prison country."

"Supervisory country?"

Li Yongmao and several other military officials did not react for a while.

The man breathed a sigh of relief before explaining: "There are estimated to be several thousand ships in this navy, and the army has already landed, playing under the banner of 'Daming Jianguo' and the Sun Moon Dragon Banner.

In addition, the flags of Huang Degong and Huang Fei are also among them..."

Hearing this, Li Yongmao finally realized who the "Da Ming Jian Guo" was.

Because of this, he couldn't help but said blankly: "It's over, it's Princess Kunxing's army..."

Other officials finally understood.

Previously, the emperor and the cabinet ordered Jingnan Hou, Guangchang Bo, and Huang Fei to go to Wuhu and Digang to intercept Princess Kunxing's army.

At that time, this decree also aroused criticism from many people in the court.

Because there are not many court officials who believe that "Princess Kunxing supervises the country". As for the story that the princess led the army to defeat Zuo Liangyu, it is regarded as nonsense. Believe in rumors" and "mislead the court".

Who would have thought that Princess Kunxing would actually lead an army here.

And Huang Degong and Huang Fei, who were supposed to be ordered to stop her, have become their generals!

Li Yongmao and others are all officials, so they are naturally not like ordinary people who are unaware of the conflict between Princess Kunxing and the new emperor.

Therefore, as soon as everyone heard it, they knew that Princess Kunxing was coming with an army, and the people who came must be bad.

However, the Marquis of Jingnan, whom the court relied on the most, voted for Princess Kunxing again, and the person in charge of the Beijing camp could not be contacted. In this way, how to prevent Princess Kunxing's army?

After being stunned for a few breaths, Li Yongmao felt that he couldn't sit still and do nothing, so he hurried out and shouted, "Come on, come with me to Beijing camp!"

He was going to Jingying to see what happened.

If possible, he is also willing to follow Yu Shaobao's example and lead the Beijing camp to occupy the enemy and defend Nanjing.

However, just as he walked out of the lobby of the Ministry of War, he saw a young eunuch enter the compound with two captains in brocade clothes, and shouted: "His Majesty and the cabinet ministers will join hands, and the officials of the Ministry of War will come quickly to receive the order!"
