Chapter 300 The Second Ancestor of the Eunuch Party Chapter 300 The Wuzi Incident of the Twenty-five people, except for ten generals who were Ma Cheng's iron-core, the other six generals were the new affiliated troops surrendered by the Qing Dynasty. They had the lowest status and had little say. However, there were nine generals who were deputy generals and generals of the 36 guards inside and outside Nanjing City. Because they were successful in the defense of Nanjing, they were promoted to generals.

Although these nine people obeyed Ma Cheng's orders, they were even more loyal to the emperor. Now seeing that Ma Cheng had no orders and wanted to lead troops into the city, they kept saying to save the emperor. How could this not make the nine people suspicious?

One of the generals in his forties stood up and asked, "Master, it is a taboo to dispatch troops without authorization. Can the general have written documents from the Ministry of War? Or the cabinet's writing? Or the tiger talisman in the palace is also fine! This way, the name can be corrected!"

This general was originally kind-hearted, but you, Ma Cheng, were guarded by the emperor before, and now you have to dispatch troops without the central government's order. Wouldn't the emperor be more worried in the future? Now as long as there is a central government order, even if it is an imperial horse supervisor that cannot be fought, as long as there is one, you can shirk responsibility in the future.

Ma Cheng also knew what the general meant, but now Ma Cheng ran out of the city alone, where did he get any orders?

Ma Cheng glared and cursed, "What are you doing? I am the Jiangnan Army conferred by His Majesty. Isn't Zhili here considered Jiangnan? Are you not my soldiers? Please ask the Ministry of War for everything, how can you fight this battle?"

After Ma Cheng said that, he pointed at the general who had just spoken and cursed: "I see that you are Lu Jiude's gang. You know that the Imperial Horse Supervisor is under the management of Lu Jiude, why do you still ask me for some tiger talisman? Come on! I will put this remnant of the eunuch party on the spot to rectify the Dharma!"

As soon as Ma Cheng finished speaking, Xie Guangkun, deputy general of the Grand Colonel, jumped out, pulled out his waist knife and chopped off the head of the spoken general. At the same time, he asked viciously: "Who else dares to disobey the commander's military order?"

Xie Guangkun was Ma Xi's deputy and the deputy general of the Grand Chamber. He stood up and Ma Cheng's ten confidant generals also stood up, holding their waist swords in their hands and staring at the other fourteen generals with fierce eyes.

Although the fourteen generals were also in the rank of generals, they had only more than 10,000 soldiers, and there were a total of 50,000 soldiers in the colonel's military camp, of which 30,000 were the most elite new troops. These new troops were all in the hands of Ma Cheng's confidant. Their strength was not equal, and seeing Ma Cheng's subordinates eyeing him, everyone knew who was opposed now, and the unlucky guy lying on the ground would end.

So the remaining fourteen generals knelt on the ground in unison and said, "The last general should obey the commander's military order!"

It would be easier to master the army. Ma Cheng picked up the arrow on the table and said, "Xie Guangkun obeyed the order!"

Xie Guangkun came to Ma Cheng and knelt on one knee and said loudly: "The last one is here!"

"You lead 10,000 new troops to garrison the camp. Except for the orders of this governor, no one is allowed to approach the camp!"

In addition to 30,000 new troops in the military camp of the colonel, there are 20,000 new subordinates. Ma Cheng dared not transfer all new troops into the city. If the fourteen generals outside the city make any trouble, it would be a big deal. Therefore, Ma Cheng left Xie Guangkun in the camp, which meant to stabilize the rear.

After Xie Guangkun received the order arrow, Ma Cheng picked up another order arrow and said, "General Wang Shuang obeyed the order!"

Wang Shuang is one of Ma Cheng's twelve Kings and the only general in the military camp of the colonel with the title of admiral. He is considered Ma Xi

, the third person under Xie Guangkun.

"Wang Shuang, you lead 20,000 new troops into the city from Jubao Gate to capture the rebels affiliated with Lu Jiude. If anyone resists, he will kill him!"

After Ma Cheng finished speaking, he said, "An Zhennan, Tian Boguang, you will take my governor's guards and enter the city from Zhengyang Gate with me to save His Majesty the Emperor!"

Wang Shuang, An Zhennan, and Tian Boguang received the order together, and then the generals went out to prepare.

In addition to these generals, there is also a civil servant in the tent, which is Ma Cheng's chief secretary Wang Xian. The original official also had Chen Zilong, but since there was nothing in the army and it was still the New Year, Ma Cheng gave Chen Zilong a month off and asked him to go back to his hometown in Songjiang to celebrate the New Year.

Wang Xian didn't know what was going on in the city, but now when he heard that Ma Cheng was going to lead his troops into the city, he immediately asked: "Marty, what happened to him last night?"

Wang Xian is Ma Cheng's confidant, so naturally there is no need to hide everything from him. Ma Cheng said everything about his birth last night to this morning. Wang Xian was overjoyed after hearing this.

"Mr. Marquis, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! In the past 270 years of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a scandal of the emperor sending someone to assassinate Suk. Now this foolish monarch is just abolished. Then, the Marquis monopolizes the Nandu, and the Marquis's fortune will be accomplished!"

Ma Cheng was full of thought at this time, and how could he be in the mood to think about independence? After hearing Wang Xian's words, Ma Cheng sighed and said, "Hey, the most important thing now is to rescue the father of the governor, the eldest brother and the third brother!" As he said this, Ma Cheng shed a few tears: "If it weren't for his father, the eldest brother and the third brother covering the boy, how could the boy escape from Nandu smoothly?"

Ma Cheng now forgot that he left Ma Shiying's ugly behavior at that time, but instead pretended to be worried about his father and brothers. Wang Xian sighed in his heart when he saw Ma Cheng like this, he was such a kind and filial lord. At this time, he was still considering the life and death of his father and brothers.

"Don't worry, the old man and the two masters are both lucky and good, and they will definitely turn bad luck into good luck!"

When Ma Cheng heard this, he gritted his teeth and cursed: "If my father and his brother have any problems this time, don't blame me for not talking about the friendship between the king and the subject!"

Now Ma Cheng thinks Ma Shiying must die in the imperial city, because it is noon now, and five or six hours have passed since last night. How could the three of them escape the search of thousands of guards in the palace? Ma Cheng said this to prepare for the abolition of Zhu Lunkui in the future. If you kill my father, naturally don’t blame me for being ruthless!

At this time, Wang Shuang and others had already prepared their troops. Ma Cheng took Wang to show his tent and rode his horse to lead his troops to attack Nanjing City. Because this day was the second day of the first lunar month of the fourth year of Shaowu in the Ming Dynasty, in 1648, the lunar calendar was the year of Wuzi, so the coup that Ma Cheng moved was also called the Wuzi Incident by historians later generations.

The main goal of Ma Cheng and his nine thousand guards was Zhengyang Gate, which was not far from the palace. At the same time, Ma Cheng knew that the guard here was Zhao Jinshi, so he chose to attack from here. As for the 20,000 new troops led by Wang Shuang, their main purpose was to seize the Jubao Gate and liquidate the anti-Ma forces in the city.

Ma Cheng's nine thousand troops appeared outside Zhengyang Gate City, which scared the new general Zhao Jinshi.

Although Zhao Jinshi is considered Ma Cheng's person, his relationship with Ma Cheng is only a relationship of interest. Zhao Jinshi was born in Nanjing and his family is Nanjing.

He himself also has the position of a hundred hereditary households outside the city.

During the Battle of Nanjing, Zhao Jinshi was brave in fighting. At the same time, because of his garrison at Jubao Gate, he had some friendship with Ma Cheng. After the war, Ma Cheng recommended him to be the general, so Zhao Jinshi was still very grateful to Ma Cheng.

But no matter how grateful it is, it is impossible for Zhao Jinshi to help Ma Cheng at the risk of beheading. Now the emperor's imperial edict to kill Ma Cheng has spread throughout Nanjing City. All the thirteenth gate guards have known that Ma Cheng led his army to Zhengyang Gate at this time?

Seeing Ma Cheng riding a tall horse to Zhengyang Gate, Zhao Jinshi leaned out and shouted: "Marquis Zhenguo, Your Majesty's will has been passed down. Seeing the friendship between his comrades, I will advise you to know the general and dismount and surrender! I will guarantee to plead for you in front of the emperor!"

When Ma Cheng heard Zhao Jinshi say this, he sneered in his heart. He and the emperor are gone. Is it useful for you to plead? Not to mention that you are a mere general, are you qualified to plead for me?

"Zhao Jinshi, I know what you are afraid of, but don't worry, as long as you let me enter the city, I will guarantee you promotion and wealth!"

After saying that, Ma Cheng pointed to the cannons set up behind him and said, "Did you see it? Zhao Jinshi, you are also a hero in the city guarding the city. You know how powerful my cannons are! There are sixty-four cannons here now. How long do you think your Zhengyang Gate can last?"

Zhao Jinshi was also a participant in the Nanjing Defense War. He knew the power of this kind of artillery. Now, seeing more than 60 artillery guns facing him, his scalp felt a little numb. However, Zhao Jinshi was not optimistic about Ma Cheng, because the Qing Dynasty did not attack Nanjing City, and Ma Cheng could take it in a short time with just tens of thousands of people?

Zhao Jinshi knew that the most fear of such a coup was that it would take too long. As long as it could take three days, the news would spread throughout Nanzhili, and then Ma Cheng would be defeated and fallen. Now, after the renovation of the Nanjing city walls in the past two years, it is even stronger than four years ago. Zhao Jinshi felt that he could hold on for three days.

When Ma Cheng saw that Zhao Jinshi stopped talking, he knew that this guy had made up his mind and didn't want to open the door. He was so angry that he shouted: "Come on, fire the cannon! Blast the city gate for me!"

Ma Cheng's artillery was preparing, and suddenly a shocking explosion came from the Jubao Gate south, and a stream of black smoke rushed out. How high was Zhao Jinshi stunned when he saw this scene. He knew that someone had blown the city gate with gunpowder.

Although Ma Cheng came to Zhengyang Gate, Jubao Gate was the main attack direction. Wang Shuangke, the main general on the other side, was much more straightforward. He led the army to Jubao Gate, and there was no nonsense. He directly asked someone to fill a large cart of five hundred kilograms of gunpowder, then transported it to the city gate, igniting and exploding Jubao Gate.

When Zhao Jinshi saw the loud noise and black smoke from Jubao Gate, he knew that this war would not be fought any longer. He knew the power of the new army. As long as these guys enter the city, the soldiers of the military and inspection departments in the city are no match for them at all.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jinshi changed his attitude just now and smiled at Ma Cheng under the city: "Mr. Marquis, the last general did not recognize the situation just now. Now after careful consideration, the last general decided to surrender to the marquis! Please rest assured, the last general will order people to open the city gate now!"
