Chapter 305 The Battle of the Emperor
After Nanjing City was conquered, the civil and military ministers were taken away by Ma Bao, and the gold and silver treasures were never left behind. The whole city is empty. Except for the traces left by the war and the exiles wandering around, it seems that there have never been a prosperous market or noisy palace.
Feng Yan rushed to Nanjing and learned that Nanjing City was broken, so she knelt on the ground and cried. The soldiers around her were also 'infected' and knelt on the ground one after another. The tears kept flowing like a fountain.
"If you pass the order, the three armies will be there."
Feng Yan's eyes seemed to be crying and swollen, but she was still unwilling, so she stood up and suddenly took out the sword pinned to her waist.
Seeing that he pulled out his sword, he wanted to wipe it off his neck.
"Now that the imperial city has been broken, and the prince's entrustment has not been completed, I have no face! As soon as he died, he apologized!"
With that, Feng Yan was going to commit suicide.
But where are the generals around him? They had already come to Feng Yan's side. When Feng Yan had just wiped the sharp sword on her neck and showed a red mark, the left and right generals immediately grabbed Feng Yan's hand and tried to take out the sword in his hand.
"General, don't! This is not the general's fault. It's really a treacherous thief who misled the country! If it hadn't been for the traitor's search for people's fat and embezzlement, how could the Yulin army defending Nanjing be unable to fight and the people would flee in all over the place?
"Yes! Yes! In this matter, you can't blame the commander for your unfavorable rescue. Your excellency, you have tried your best. These days are not coming to Nanjing at the same time. It's really the imperial army in Nanjing--"
In the end, under the 'persuasion' of many generals, Feng Yan lost her suicide. Seeing that Feng Yan took down the sword, a guard next to him quickly took out a white gauze from his arms and bandaged Feng Yan with scars on her neck.
Feng Yan faintly wanted to laugh in her heart, but she still resisted. This was just a play.
"Alas, Nanjing City has been broken, and the emperor has also been arrested. At this moment, with our strength, we will definitely not be able to rescue the emperor. If we return to the legion for the time being, inform the prince of the news here, ask the prince to send troops to suppress thieves and save the emperor. What do you think, brothers?"
The generals next to him nodded quickly when they heard the words and said hello.
"In that case, let's leave here and return to the legion. Order the brothers to quickly inform the prince of the news here first.
After saying that, Feng Yan led the army to return the same way.
When Feng Yan left Nanjing and went back, Emperor Hongguang and the ministers were now installed in a closed prison car and marched towards Wuchang. The journey can be said to be a big swing. They not only won the battle, but also caught the enemy's emperor.
Wu Sangui personally went out of the city 30 miles to welcome the return of Ma Bao.
On the same day, Wu Sangui dealt with those ministers, and Wu Sangui, who surrendered, kept them, and killed them directly if they did not surrender.
In the face of life, those Confucian students who describe themselves as gentlemen, and the Donglin party, have all changed. I don't know how many people have surrendered. The first to surrender was Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party. He doesn't want to die yet. He doesn't want to die at all.
In history, Nanjing was broken by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At that time, Liu Ru wanted to throw Qian Qianyi into the river and die together. However, Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, said that the water was too cold to die, and finally surrendered to the tara. It can be imagined that his character is really not flattering.
For the pig-like Hongguang Emperor, Wu Sangui summoned him in person.
At this moment, Emperor Hongguang has taken off his bright golden dragon robe, his hair is scattered, and his fat body is a little difficult to walk. Now he has changed into the official uniform that Wu Sangui prepared for him. His face was pale, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his body trembled slightly. Especially when Wu Sangui glanced at the past with his cold eyes, Emperor Hongguang was shocked all over, and his body seemed to be out of his control.
"Zhu Youseng, do you have something to say?" Wu Sangui looked at the big fat man kneeling in front of him with a sneer on his face.
Wu Sanguiyao thought that he was just a minister of the Ming Dynasty in those years. When he saw the emperor's relatives, he did not kneel down. Now he has become the supreme emperor. These relatives of the emperors are the current Ming emperors who have to kneel down for themselves. This feeling is that Wu Sangui can't say.
"No - I dare not."
For a long time, Emperor Hongguang, who was so scared that his face turned pale, said these two words, and suddenly Wu Sangui laughed.
"Hahahaha, good. In this case, I will make you a fat marquis and give you the plaque of 'the most fat in the world'! Hahahahaha" Wu Sangui looked at Zhu Yousong's fat body and immediately sneered, which was infinitely ironic.
Although Zhu Youseng was furious, his face was also blue and red. But at this moment, he naturally realizes his position. How dare he disobey Wu Sangui?
"Let's be a fat marquis. Anyway, he is a marquis, as long as he can live well in the future."
Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong respectfully bowed to Wu Sangui and shouted, "Thank you, Lord Long's kindness."
"Hahahaha"
Wu Sangui laughed again, and then arranged the eunuchs to send hundreds of silk and dozens of beauties to Feihou.
Zhu Yousong also readily accepted it. Tongtian issued an edict in his name, announced his abdication, and submitted to Wu Sangui.
Since then, the Hongguang regime has been destroyed.
The destruction of Emperor Hongguang did not make those who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty frustrated. Some of them ran to Luoyang and wanted to write to Liu Xiali, the emperor surnamed Zhu, as the emperor, and hand over the military power. Some of them rushed to Fujian in an attempt to establish an emperor as emperor again.
The people who run to Luoyang are really stupid and cute. They actually want Liu Xia to hand over their military power and power. Naturally, Liu Xia will not be treated by this group. Not to mention whether to hand over the military power of the regime or not, even if an emperor is established, Liu Xia will not agree.
"Please ask the King of Zheng to establish the heirs of Taizu as emperor, destroy Wu Sangui, and recover Beijing. Restore my Ming Dynasty!"
There are more than 20 people in this group. Previously, most of them were officials of four or five grades, and some were retired at home. They heard that Nanjing was destroyed, so they became an official again. As for those high-ranking officials, they were either killed by Wu Sangui or surrendered to Wu Sangui.
"The subordinate thinks that King Lu should be the emperor, and the King of Lu should be smart and wise as the emperor."
Sitting on the top, Liu Xia had not yet agreed to form a new regime. The more than 20 people below began to select the candidates in their hearts. Liu Xia only sneered on it and looked at the people below quarreling, as if they were looking at clowns.
"The subordinates think that the King of Gui is better. The King of Gui understands the people and often goes deep into the people to understand the hardships of the world. He will definitely become a wise king."
"The king of Lu is the candidate of fate, and he should be the emperor."
"After King Gui is the emperor of Shenzong, he is extremely noble and should be the emperor himself."
"The king of Lu is wise and martial, and he is really the king."
Suddenly, the original group of people, divided into two groups at this moment, began to scold each other. The officials of Liu Xia, who were standing on both sides, laughed.
That's it. I don't know how long it has been noisy. Both groups of people blushed and their lips were dry.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to welcome back the King of Lu and establish the King of Lu as the emperor."
"Your Majesty, I beg you to welcome back the King of Gui and make the King of Gui the emperor."
Liu Xia didn't look at them. He yawned and said, "It's noon now. I'm also hungry. Presumably all the adults are also hungry. Come on, let's have dinner!" After saying that, Liu Xia left without turning her head.
Where does Liu Xia have the intention of establishing an emperor? He has his own ambition to become an emperor. I'm afraid the whole world understands his ambition. It's just that Liu Xia can't kill or lock up these trouble-sturbulent people, so Liu Xia ignored them.
Which prince will be the emperor? If Liu Xia doesn't say it, he can't do it. If they leave Liu Xia and bring those emperors to Luoyang, Liu Xia can assassinate them on the road.
When Liu Xia went far away, more than 20 people still stood on the hall, looking angrily at the direction of Liu Xia's departure.
"Liu Xia is obviously a wolf's ambition. Naturally, he refuses to welcome back the king of Lu. What if we move the king of Lu to Luoyang?"
"Huh, what the king of Lu, you should welcome back to the king of Gui!"
