Chapter 303 Nanjing's Reaction

Before Wu Sangui's army arrived in Nanjing, many officials in Nanjing began to secretly contact Wu Sangui to surrender to the Chu army and gain wealth and senior officials. Wu Sangui read the surrender letter sent by these officials, curled his mouth and looked disdainful.

However, Wu Sangui seriously replied to these people, that is, as long as they surrender, the grade remains unchanged and the treatment is the same. Wu Sangui said this with his careful thinking. The grade is unchanged, not that the official position remains unchanged. In the past, you were a second-grade member. As long as you surrender, I will give you a second-grade, but as for the position, you don't have to think about it. I only give you the second grade, but there is no position. It's equivalent to idle.

What are the virtues of those officials in Nanjing? Wu Sangui is very clear. He can't let these rats shit ruin the officialdom he has finally cultivated. What's more, he is the leader at this moment. Even if there is no surrendering official to cooperate with him, Wu Sangui is confident to break through the city of Nanjing.

It's just a matter of time.

What are the most worried about people who have been at the peak of power for a long time? That means there is no right. For the little official, they can also happily accept Wu Sangui's request. However, for those with high-ranking officials, such a request is intolerable.

When they were in Nanjing, they were in power. Emperor Hongguang didn't care about anything. They were basically the most powerful people. If he surrendered to Wu Sangui and only gave the treatment of a second-grade official, but he had no right, wouldn't it take their lives?

But now it is beyond their control. It is almost impossible for Wu Sangui's army to attack and defend Nanjing City.

"What should I do? It is estimated that Wu Sangui's tens of thousands of troops will be able to attack the city of Nanjing tomorrow, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

There are a large number of officials gathered in Ma Shiying's house in Nanjing, who are mainly Ma Shiying.

"What else can I do? It's better to surrender to Wu Sangui. Anyway, he also gives us the same level of treatment. Although he doesn't have the right, he can enjoy a lifetime of wealth.

"No, you can never surrender to Wu Sangui. This man is wolf-hearted and dog-lung. If he commits the following offense, he is very rebellious. In fact, he is indignant by heaven and man. No - no, if we order Liu Xia to send troops to Wuchang and surround Wei to save Zhao, so that Wu Sangui has to retreat.

After listening to it, Ma Shiying also felt that this suggestion was better, but he frowned and said, "Now that we have basically broken off our relationship with Liu Xia, especially in the past few years, we have calculated with him. He must have a grudge, and it may be more difficult for him to send troops."

Qian Qianyi sneered and said, "He can't help but send troops. Anyway, he did not rebel against my Ming Dynasty, and he was also a member of my Ming Dynasty. Isn't he called King Zheng? We will make him the king of Zheng for the time being, and then order the world to let him be the king of Qin. If not, what should the scholar under that day think of him? Without the support of scholars, it would not be better than Liu Xia.

When Zhao Zhilong heard Qian Qianyi's words, he first objected and said, "No, Liu Xia is also a wolf's ambition. Without Your Majesty's reward, he can call himself King Zheng. His ambition has been revealed. What's more, I didn't have a different surname in the Ming Dynasty. Liu Xia is surnamed Liu, not Zhu. How can I be crowned king?

Then the two quarreled again. They were old enemies, and it has become common for them to abuse each other. But at this time, Ma Shiying is having a headache. How can he continue to quarrel like this? So he scolded angrily and said, "Be quiet! Be quiet!"

As soon as Ma Shiying got angry, the scene suddenly calmed down. After all, there is still a momentum created over the years.

"According to Lord Qian's words, Liu Xia was awarded as the king of Zheng. Now is a very good time. Let's reward it for the time being. After Wu Sangui is defeated, we will remove it.

After Ma Shiying said, many ministers wanted to oppose it, but in their hearts, what Ma Shiying said also made some sense. After all, they should be treated very much at all times. So they also shut up obediently. Compared with the rules set by Zhu Yuanzhang, they still felt that their lives were more valuable.

Ma Shiying glanced and saw that there was no objection. He cleared his throat and said, "Since all the adults do not object, it's settled. After a while, he sent someone to send the news to Liu Xia quickly, so that he must force Wu Sangui to withdraw as soon as possible!"

"At the same time, also inform the world of this news. If Liu Xia dares not to fight, hum, just wait for the crusade of the people all over the world!"

This is a matter of life. No one dares to delay. With the imperial edict, someone immediately reported 800 miles to Luoyang.

After all, the journey is quite far. When the person who sent the edict left for a day, Wu Sangui's army finally came to Nanjing. The thousand warships were bombed against Nanjing, and countless Ming Dynasty soldiers were suddenly killed and injured.

A few days later, the army sent by Wu Sangui finally arrived in Nanjing. The road was like a broken bamboo, and all the cities fell when they heard the wind.

Luoyang

Liu Xia told his two military divisions about the content of the edict sent from Nanjing, and the person who sent the edict was arranged in the post station.

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be saved."

Li Wen frowned and said quickly.

"Let's not talk about whether we have the ability to rescue. Even if we have, we can't be the enemy of Wu Sangui at this moment. After all, now that we are in the north, we have to fight to the death with the tars. At this moment, how can we have the energy to take care of Nanjing? What's more, if Nanjing is destroyed, it will be beneficial to us.

Hearing Li Wen's words, Liu Xia nodded and turned his head to look at Chen Liu. Chen Liu coughed dryly, fanned his feather fan, and said, "If you don't save him, you can't save him, but you can't save him. As Li Junshi said, it's good for us if the Ming Dynasty is destroyed."

"Now I guess the people in Nanjing will definitely spread the news of our King Qin all over the world. If we don't go, what will the people in the world think of us?"

Liu Xia smiled and said, "The king of Qin has to be diligent, but he can't wait until the Nanjing city is broken. I now order Ma Peng to send a guard to move forward slowly. It will be passed until the city of Nanjing is broken. These dogs and thieves in Nanjing need to give rewards and intimidate me. When I don't need to, I either frame or abuse. Do you really think I'm the one they bullied at will? Humph!"

In the end, Liu Xia was also slightly angry, especially in the past few years, Liu Xia is still worried about the trap of Liu Xia by the people in Nanjing. What's more, if the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, the world will become a troubled world in a real sense. No one will say what Liu Xia wants to do. As for whether other forces are looking for another person from the Zhu family to be the emperor, it has nothing to do with Liu Xia. Anyway, they will not admit it. After all, you are either an emperor or an emperor.

After Liu Xia and others discussed, Liu Xia asked someone to call the person who preached the imperial edict and said, "I have sent troops. Go back and report to the emperor and let them insist on waiting for the reinforcements to come."

The man who preached the imperial edict suddenly showed joy on his face and quickly said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Highness, Your Majesty will be very happy to learn such news. He also asked His Royal Highness King Zheng to send troops as soon as possible to relieve the siege of Nanjing. I would like to thank King Zheng.

Liu Xia waved her hand casually and said, "My order has been passed down. I believe that soon I will be able to reach the Kuilang Legion in the south and let it send troops. Go back."

The man who preached the imperial edict couldn't stop his joy. He didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. Originally, he thought that Liu Xia would definitely make things difficult for him. When he walked out of the room, his heart was still fluttering.

"It's done. If you go back this time, you will definitely be promoted. Hahahaha, these days of hard work are worth it. Humph, what a bullshit, King Zheng, when Wu Sangui is paced, he will definitely seize your military power. How can I, Daming, make you a king with a foreign surname?

The person who preached the imperial edict was envious and jealous of Liu Xia all the way, and constantly abused Liu Xia in his heart.

After the departure of the edict, Liu Xia sat on the upper position, sneered and said, "I don't know whether I'm dead or alive. I really think I'm your dog. If it's useful, I'll keep it. If I don't need it, I'll kill it?"
