Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

If the emperor fled south during the war, there would basically be no need to fight the battle to defend the city.

Not to mention that the enemy leader on the opposite side is from the Lao Zhu family, even if it is replaced by thieves, slave slaves and the like, the already low morale of the defenders will not be able to support them in fighting the enemy.

Emperor Longwu naturally had to be escorted when he moved south. He mobilized a group of troops from Zhenwu Camp, the new army he had high hopes for. Most of them were big-headed soldiers with no special status. The generals also specially picked up soldiers who did not have any big families. background.

The remaining group was mainly responsible for the defense of Nanjing, and was led by General Huang De, who had just been re-promoted, to block the attack of the three-pronged Black Flag and Qing armies.

So how can we fight this battle?
Huang Degong stood on the watchtower of the trench defense line and put down his telescope and his eyelids twitched.

The people in Zhenwu camp who had no background were taken away, and the remaining people who had connections and backgrounds were all relying on their connections to contact the three-way black flag army on the opposite side to secretly surrender.

The Ming Dynasty nobles who were still willing to struggle naturally followed Emperor Longwu southward.

Those who are still in Nanjing are waiting to welcome back their Emperor Chongzhen, and then join together to bargain with the emperor.

The manuscripts in other newspapers are ready, and public opinion can pressure local rebellions and various methods to force the imperial power to compromise can only be used when the time is right.

Huang Degong, who had just taken office, did not know much about all the troops in Yingtian Mansion that he could nominally mobilize.

And even if we understand it, it's hard to say which side these troops are on now.

Even Huang Degong himself was confused. Now he was stroking the Shang Fang sword given by Emperor Longwu on his waist and was at a loss.

It turns out he was right.

As soon as the emperor left and the three black flag armies began to advance, the Ming army that was the first to engage the enemy surrendered smoothly. Some Ming troops even rushed to the black flag army's formation and asked for surrender.

Zhenwuying is the hardest hit area.

This was originally the reorganization of the Nanjing camp, but in the end it failed to remove the cancer that occupied the position of middle-level generals in the army. Therefore, the defense in the city was not bad. Huang Degong and other generals were very careful. Even if they rebelled, they would have to wait for a suitable time to start. The city gate is dedicated to the city.

Just click on it if you set up defenses outside the city.

On the first day of advancement, the three-way Black Flag Army encountered very weak resistance. Even if there were Ming troops who wanted to resist, they all lost heart when faced with a large number of rebel comrades in front of the formation who gathered around to persuade them to surrender.

So it is.

The three armies followed the trend and focused on persuading surrender. They directly sent envoys to rush into Nanjing City and asked many generals in the city to surrender.

"This is a big deal. I read what Mr. Liu in the newspaper said clearly. The next step is for all the generals to find a good time to submit to the Qing Dynasty!"

The Ming army surrendered in large numbers, so the war could not be said to be of high intensity.

After two days of nervousness, the people in Nanjing discovered that their lives had not changed much since the Northern Army began to advance. However, prices had risen a bit and leaving the city was restricted.

"We have to change our flag tomorrow, no! We don't even need to change our flag!"

Since the Qing Emperor revealed his true identity, the black Sanchen flag in the north has been replaced with a red background again, but officially there is still a dragon around the Sanchen flag to distinguish it from the Longwu Dynasty in the south. Come on.

After the emperor left, in this short period of no top-level government, many newspapers in Nanjing became more active and dared to write a lot.

Each and every one of them spoke nonsense about the Nanjing defenders' surrender without a fight.

The people on the street couldn't help but salivate when they saw it, but they were actually ready to welcome Master Wang.

Of course, there are also some people who are looking forward to someone in the Ming army who can take on the trouble, who can at least resist a little and show the integrity of the soldiers of the Longwu Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise
"Just change the name of the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Even if we are still a family, we are still reluctant to part with it."

While eating wontons and reading the newspaper, the diners couldn't help but sigh when they saw in the newspaper that General Huang Degong had received an envoy from the Qing court.It had only been a week since the Northern Army advanced.

Zhenwu Camp surrendered to the Black Flag Army one after another. Yao Qiyin, the Minister of War and the Admiral of Zhenwu Camp who stayed in Nanjing, received a letter from the Qing Emperor in the north and led his troops to surrender that night.

The rest of King Qin's troops were here to protect the emperor. Since the emperor had gone south, protecting Nanjing was not within their scope of responsibility.

When Emperor Qilongwu went south, he had already ordered many of King Qin's troops to garrison in Hangzhou and Shanghai.

"I think General Huang has only been here for the past two days. It doesn't matter if he finishes early, it will be easier to get in and out of the city. It will be a good thing to have a peaceful life."

The diners on the side were a little worried when they heard this: "The three northern armies have entered the city. Although the two Mongolian princes, Enderle, ordered the soldiers not to cause chaos, I read in the past that they were quite harmonious, but what if the three armies fight in the city? "

The saying that entering Nanjing is the prince of the Qing Dynasty has long been spread in Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty.

Ming Dynasty newspapers often criticized this behavior of not establishing a successor and openly leaving the position of emperor to be fought over by the princes.

"Probably. No way."

The answer is yes.

The abandoned Nanjing was still the Nanjing controlled by Huang Degong.

After Zhu Youjian received a letter, Huang Degong respectfully opened the city gate to greet the envoy in person. He also knelt down to receive the emperor's handwriting. He only had to add the words "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor" when he was done.

But surrender requires a surrender ceremony.

After the ceremony, how will the three black flag armies be stationed and how will the city be managed?

Zhu Cixiang is worried about this now.

After all, Gao Jie, one of the four former Jiangbei towns, held a high position in his black and yellow banner army.

But the relationship between Gao Jie and Huang Degong is not generally bad, which makes Huang Degong's attitude towards the black and yellow flags not very good.

"Master! Niu Lu is reporting below! Master, the people you sent to worship Xiaoling were attacked!"

Zhu Cixiang, who was already worried, suddenly became furious when he heard the news, and shouted: "Bold! How bold! Who did this!?"

To 'recover' Nanjing, it was natural to go to the Xiaoling Mausoleum to offer sacrifices to comfort his ancestors. Zhu Cihong still had a geographical advantage and was able to get ahead of the other two. However, the person sent to worship his ancestors was beaten. No one can do this. Tolerate.

"Go back to the master! He is the military household of the Xiaoling Guards of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Ridiculous! How dare they do this! Tell their commander to come over and see me!"

After Zhu Cixiang was furious, he suddenly realized that there was something fishy behind this matter, and it was estimated that the commander of Xiaoling Guard would not be able to call him.

It's true that the person couldn't be called, but the letter was delivered.

The commander Mei Chun, who had been silently staying at the Xiaoling Guard until then, and his subordinates, who numbered no more than [-] people, jointly wrote a letter, which was not only sent to Zhu Cixiang, but also to the other two banners, and a special person requested that this letter be sent to him. The letter was delivered to Zhu Youjian.

The contents of the telegram were presented to Zhu Youjian in an instant, allowing him to see at a glance what the Xiaoling Guards were up to. He couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It's correct to not let people from the three major banners approach Xiaoling until Nanjing is stable." , the following paragraph is written with righteousness and righteousness, just saying that I have no face to meet the ancestors of Xiaoling. It’s really hard to say if these princes are really shameless and stay here."
