The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 141 Idiot Emperor

Guo Yunlong's tentative attack has now come to an end and ended in a fiasco. He led the remnants in a embarrassment and disappeared into the night.

"Although the Qing army was defeated, their combat effectiveness was good. Judging from the circumstances of death and injury. They can indeed be called elite teachers. It's not easy to keep so many troops under the shooting of thousands of archers.

"The order goes down, and all the soldiers standing guard tonight will go back to rest and change their defenses."

"Yes!"

When the sun was shining, Liu Dazhuang ordered people to go out of the city to bury the bodies and take back the arrows. After all, it is not safe at night.

In the afternoon, Liu Xia led the Qinwei Regiment and more than a dozen cannons and finally came to the Hu Prison Pass.

"General, the forward army of the Qing army has reached the 30 miles of Hu Prison in Guandong. And there was a small-scale battle yesterday. Liu Dazhuang reported yesterday's scene respectfully to the tired Liu Xia.

"Have you already fought?" Liu Xia was surprised. Wu Sangui was so anxious that he arrived here and began to send troops to attack the city.

Liu Dazhuang said, "I think Wu Sangui is testing the strength and weakness of his troops, and the defense is false."

"Well" Liu Xia nodded and said, "Wu Sangui suffered heavy casualties in this battle. He will definitely not look down on us again, which makes them more vigilant. Take us more seriously."

"I brought you three more cannons in red and ten tiger squatting cannons to defend. Wang Xiaotong!"

Wang Xiaotong came over in artillery clothes and said respectfully, "I'm here. The general ordered!"

"place these cannons on the tower, and then send scouts to explore the direction of Wu Sangui's army."

"Yes!"

"Dad Da Da Da"

"Report!"

"Tay!"

"Try to the general that Wu Sangui saw the trees and built siege equipment 30 miles away."

"The siege equipment, it seems that Azig or Duoduo's army is coming soon. Is there any news from Nanjing?

Liu Dazhuang said, "I want to reply to the general that the scouts sent before have been to Nanjing for some days, but they have not come back. It should be, it should have been killed on the road.

Hearing this, Liu Xia frowned and said, "Sent someone to find out what's going on."

"Yes!"

Wu Sangui was listening to Guo Yunlong's report in the camp at this time. Guo Yunlong attacked the city in the dark night yesterday, but it was found by Liu Dazhuang, causing a lot of damage to the soldiers and his right arm was also shot. Fortunately, it was only a minor injury, and he could pick up the gun again after a few days of cultivation.

"Told to the prince. According to the night attack, the enemy on the tiger prison is indeed the division of tigers and wolves. The incompetence of my subordinates made the soldiers die and injured.

Wu Sangui took a sip of the tea on the table and said, "I can't blame you for this. I know your ability. Although it was cloudy yesterday, there was a little moonlight. People with particularly good eyes may really be able to see clearly. Prince Yu and Prince Ying can reach the Hulao Pass in two days, and I have to seize the time to make siege equipment. Compared with that time, Prince Yu will bring a lot of cannons. I will definitely turn the tiger prison into a target and fight well!"

"Go on and pay attention to the surroundings. At this time, there will be a lot of scouts compared with the Hu prison. I don't want them to ruin my business. I sent people to arrest the scouts and torture them to tell the specific information about the tiger prison. This matter is up to you. Now that you can't take weapons, then let me manage these for the time being.

Although Guo Yunlong was a little unwilling, he still obeyed.

"The world says that you, Liu Xia, are the savior of the country and the hope of the Ming Dynasty. I would like to see how you became the hope of the Ming Dynasty and how to save the Ming Dynasty, which has long been a rotten tree.

"Although I have endured the name of a traitor, I have become a king, unlike you, Liu Xia, who is just a marquis now. The Ming Dynasty was really rotten wood that could not be carved. When I met such a person, I didn't want to be entangled. I heard that Liu Xia sent troops to Nanjing to ask for help. I can imagine that those who are greedy and afraid of death in Nanming will not dare to send troops to save you.

In Nanjing, there is news that Luoyang City has been broken everywhere. Some people even say that Liu Xia has been captured. The Qing army will soon go south to break through Nanjing.

Hearing the news, even Emperor Hongguang, who only knew how to drink, could not sit still. He quickly summoned Ma Shiying, Qian Qianyi and others to inquire.

"Luoyang, Luoyang has really been broken again? So why was Liu Xia really caught? The Qing army is about to attack Nanjing?" Listening to Emperor Hongguang's inquiry, Ma Shiying couldn't laugh or cry. He said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Luoyang has not been broken yet, and Liu Xia, the Marquis of Pingbei, has not been caught. The Qing army once came to Nanjing. Your Majesty, just rest assured."

After Ma Shiying said, Emperor Hongguang breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said, "It's good, it's good, it's good." I heard that you sent a peerless beauty to Liu Xia. Why don't you send that beauty to me?

Qian Qianyi was originally worried about that matter in his heart. Now Emperor Hongguang mentioned it again and looked slightly angry. However, as a minister, although thousands of people looked down on this Emperor Hongguang in his heart, no matter how rebellious he was outside, Qian Qianyi still needed to abide by the etiquette around Emperor Hongguang. So Qian Qianyi tried his best to put up with it.

Ma Shiying said, "I would like to reply to your majesty that the beauty is not beautiful, so I have never given it to your majesty. So where has Liu Xia seen a real beauty? I just found an ordinary family, which fascinated Liu Xia. Which of the women in your majesty's harem is not a national beauty, which is thousands of times better than the beauty. Your Majesty doesn't think much about it."

"Hahahaha, well said, well said. There are more than thousands of beauties in my harem. Which one is not charming and charming? I'm tired of playing with two beauties yesterday, so I'll reward you two today. Emperor Hongguang's pale face showed a little smile.

Even if Ma Shiying and Qian Qianyi didn't want to, they also said, "Thank you for your reward."

Emperor Hongguang nodded and said, "Why hasn't Liu Xia come to Nanjing yet? Since he was not caught by the Qing army and hasn't come to Nanjing yet, it's really impatient to live. Tell Liu Xia quickly that if he doesn't come tomorrow, I will kill him.

Ma Shiying and Qian Qianyi looked at Emperor Hongguang as if they were idiots. Can you say this kind of words at this time? Don't look at your status. We call you your majesty to look up to you. Do you really think you can control the world? Kill whoever you want? Ma Shiying felt that he had to wake up the idiot emperor, otherwise something would definitely be ruined one day.

On the way back, Ma Shiying had been thinking about how to wake up Emperor Hongguang, so he began to come up with some strategies.

I have to let you know that your throne is not right, and the world is not peaceful. I have to let you know who is the master of Nanjing City, and I have to let you know that you are just a puppet. Ma Shiying thought to his heart.
