Chapter Five Hundred and Eighty-Four: His Majesty Arrives in His Capital(1/2)
Emperor Tianqi and Zhang Jingyi arrived almost day and night.
Their plan was very simple, and the vanguard troops arrived in Nanjing first.
If Nanjing City is behind closed doors, then wait outside the city for subsequent artillery troops to come one after another and take action.
If the Nanjing City had no time to prepare, it would decisively enter the city.
At this time, it was dark, and seeing that there were still many merchants and pedestrians on the official road, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but feel happy.
It seems... this Nanjing City is not prepared for anything.
Nanjing City is not Xiaolingwei. Xiaolingwei is a military center, but there are not many civilians, so it can be boldly bombarded.
But if Nanjing City is defending, then the Ming Dynasty's Nandu will be truly in danger of war.
Emperor Tianqi was overjoyed and immediately urged: "Hurry up, hurry up, it's going to be dark, the city gate is going to be closed."
The order was issued, but the already exhausted student continued to grit his teeth and did not dare to relax at all.
Zhang Jingyi was quite suspicious, so he frowned and said, "Your Majesty... Could it be an empty city plan to deliberately deceive us into the city, and then..."
This time there were too few people, only more than a thousand people, and thousands of guns were used, but they were facing places like Nanjing City, where hundreds of thousands of people and tens of thousands of troops were guarded.
Once you go in and encounter countless ambushings, it may be a bit dangerous.
Emperor Tianqi had no intention of retreating. While riding a horse, he said, "I also know there are risks, but... even if someone set up an empty city plan, I always want to go in and find out what's going on!"
Zhang Jingyi: “…”
Zhang Jingyi then laughed and said, "Haha, even if there is really an ambush, although there is danger, he may not lose. If he doesn't get in, he will be unwilling to give up!"
The vast horse team appeared outside the Jinchuan Gate in Nanjing, and everyone continued to move forward.
At the city gate, it seemed that I had noticed something strange at this time and I was in a panic to close the door.
But the city gate is thick and it is not so easy to close the door, but it needs to gather many talents.
Just when the Jinchuan Gate Guard summoned more than a dozen strongmen to put away the suspension bridge and close the door.
A cavalry led by the leader rushed in first.
He pulled out the knife without hesitation and then slashed it down sharply.
The student has riding skills and bayonet practices. Although he doesn't practice much, he depends on his strength after all. Therefore, although this knife looks ordinary and has no skills, he faces only the sect who has been living for a long time.
These mending didn't respond at all.
I saw the knife slashing down and blood suddenly appeared.
A uh ah.
It turned out that Dali did a miracle. The man's head was cut off half of it, and then he fell down, his body twitched, twisted, and let out a final scream from his mouth.
Seeing this, other disciples did not have the intention to push the door? Some were stunned, while others turned around and ran away.
There was also the guard who looked from a distance. When he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately quickly took a horse beside the city tower and ran towards the city with quick eyes and a strange cry: "The bandits are here, the bandits are here."
Immediately afterwards... the endless cavalry team entered the city, and Emperor Aoki was excited and pulled out his knife.
Zhang Jingyi, on one side, shouted: "Don't hurt the people, just kill the officials who are fighting stubbornly, brackets: This is what Your Majesty said!"
The guard rode his horse and was already scared.
Who would have thought that the bandits would come seriously?
So he shouted hysterically: "The bandits are here, bandits..."
I have only walked three or four streets.
It caused chaos immediately.
He still yelled hysterically.
But then I thought that suddenly... there was a trippy horseshot in front of me.
The horse's hooves were tripped down.
So the guard rolled down from the horse's back.
Suddenly... I fell to my nose, face and my head was broken and bloody.
He was shocked, but he still shouted: "Bandits...Bandits..."
Fortunately... a group of people rushed forward, but they were the official troops in the city.
Under this dim sky, a hundred households and a group of people pressed the guard down.
The guard said angrily: "Owner, one's own people..."
Baihu shouted disdainfully: "Owner? Who said he was his own? You are so brave, what's your intention?"
The guard then cried and said, "I...I...I am the guard of Jinchuan Gate... The bandits are coming... The bandits are coming..."
After hearing this, Baihu laughed and said, "Haha, who cares about what kind of garrison you are and what guerrillas you are? If you really do garrison, you should know that the Duke of Wei's Mansion has issued strict orders. Those who dare to disrupt the morale of the army and those who are witches will be killed without mercy!"
"As you as a guard, how can you not know? I think you are aware of the law and break the law. You must be the detailed work of the bandits, who want to disrupt the hearts of the army and the people. We are patrolling the city here, and we are going to deal with people like you."
The guard was frightened and said with a sad face, "I am not a bandit, I am indeed...I...I and the prince of Duke of Wei, who also recognize..."
But the hundred households became more and more stern and said coldly: "I'm sorry, but the order I received was that whoever dares to talk about the bandits coming to Nanjing City will be killed immediately to serve as a warning. Whoever cares about who you recognize? If I don't kill you, I will have to deal with the military law at that time, let alone killing someone who is slandering the crowd and rewarding ten taels of silver. We just borrow your population and go to exchange for wine."
The other soldiers laughed.
Most of these soldiers were from the Left Guard of Nanjing. The Left Guard of Nanjing was directly under the jurisdiction of the Duke of Wei. This Duke of Wei was the garrison of Nanjing. Naturally, all resources were closely linked to the direct military and horses directly under the direct military and horses. Therefore, these people were often more domineering in Nanjing City and absolutely followed the orders of the Duke of Wei's Duke of Wei's Duke of Wei's Duke of Wei.
As he said that, a soldier had already drawn out his sword and slashed with one knife without waiting for the guard to continue to explain.
Poor this guard wanted to shout: "Bandits..."
His voice came to an abrupt end here, and his head rolled down. The soldiers scrambled for his head. Finally, someone said happily: "Go and change the wine."
But at this moment, a team of cavalry roared by.
The hundred households were proud and looked up... and vaguely saw these people... they seemed a little different, each holding a knife, like a wolf or a tiger.
Suddenly, Baihu shivered suddenly and said, "There are bandits... hurry up... welcome the bandits..."
He hasn't said enough.
The cavalry was already whistling like the wind swept away the clouds, and everyone raised their swords and slashed randomly.!
Suddenly, seven or eight soldiers fell down.
Subsequently... many cavalrymen came with their tail ranks.
Baihu looked at the corpses on the ground. He was smart and had already avoided it, but he saved his life.
But at this time he was already scared and his face looked like earth, and he seemed to shout: "The bandits are here..."
But he didn't dare to say this. He suddenly thought of the fate of the garrison. The fear on his face became stronger and stronger, so he suddenly entered the alley.
Nanjing City has nothing to do with him. At this time, I should find a place to hide, and maybe I can save my life.
…………
Teams of gray-clad cavalry began to advance several routes and occupied several important roads in Nanjing.
Wherever they passed, they actually didn't kill many people.
Because most of them are the people, and even some harmless people wearing officers and soldiers' uniforms.
As long as the gray cavalry did not want to pay attention to it.
They were at a major street intersection somewhere that their team had originally planned to occupy, and then quickly dismounted, then unloaded the horse's supplies, removed the musket, and pieced together the machine guns that had been dismantled into parts to guard them.
For the vast majority of people in the city.
It was dark now, and a group of people suddenly appeared, but the people did not kill innocent people everywhere. The people who originally thought were strange slowly dispelled their doubts.
Because if the bandits really entered the city, they would obviously not be as innocent as this.
If you take a step back ten thousand steps, if you really are bandits, who dares to shout now, at most someone will flee back to his home in a hurry, keep his wife and children from the house closed, and then hide.
After all... a few days ago, the Prince of Wei killed many people at Caishikou. With these lessons from the past, who dared to make trouble?
...
At this time, the Duke of Wei was filled with guests, with lights and laughter.
There were dozens of tables, and everyone held up their cups. At first, everyone was still silent, but after three rounds of wine, their emotions began to rise.
Everyone raised their glasses to persuade them to drink, or recited poems and essays through the wine, and some people hugged each other and talked about their friendship.
Of course, it is indispensable, about the situation of Xiaolingwei.
Then I heard someone say, "This time General Tan defeated the thief, Jiangnan will have a hundred years of stability, haha..."
"In my opinion, if we don't kill all the eunuchs in Jiangnan at this time, when will we wait? What's the difference between this eunuch and a thief?"
"The Duke of Wei has a thousand years old!"
It is completely different from the outside atmosphere.
The guests in the hall seemed cautious.
To be continued...
