Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 198 Chapter 198, Zhu Cihong rushed to Nanjing, the ministers had no confidence
From Zuo Liangyu's point of view, although he had already lost to Zhang Xianzhong, it was also a mutual push between the two hundred thousand troops.

After the defeat, Zuo Liangyu was not as good as before. He had at least [-] soldiers under his command, and at least [-] real soldiers.

And what about Zhu Cihong?three thousand...

Isn't this a joke?

Still cavalry!

As we all know, cavalry is indeed quite good on the plains, but that is only on the plains north of the Yellow River.

There is an adjective for Jiangnan, which is called "Jiangnan water town".

In the Jiangnan water town, use [-] cavalry to resist [-] mixed land and water troops?

"This little prince, doesn't he really think that the world only has plain terrain? Using this little cavalry to fight against me, he really thinks he is Temujin and Kublai Khan!"

Thinking of this, Zuo Liangyu couldn't help but ruthlessly laughed at Zhu Cihong.

"Okay, okay, since that Zhu Cihong only has three thousand soldiers, everyone don't need to worry, just push over slowly." Zuo Liangyu calmed down and ordered calmly.

Again, three thousand cavalry?What a fart!
Zuo Liangyu thinks that his side has a great advantage, and he just needs to slowly level A all the way to the past, and absolute victory is within his grasp!
In fact, not only Zuo Liangyu, but also the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing City thought so.

A meeting is being held in Nanjing city.

Zhang Shenyan, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of Households, was naturally the first to speak: "My lords, Zuo Liangyu has officially rebelled now. He led the army and horses to attack Nanjing. We are waiting for the emperor. Entrusted to sit here, it is time to recruit soldiers and horses to defend Nanjing!"

Don't look at what Zhang Shenyan said in this wave of impassioned words, but there was no response at all.

Everyone is not a fool, and everyone knows what is going on in Nanjing City.

There are no soldiers, so what a fart!
Zhang Shenyan waited for a while and saw no one responded. He was obviously losing his temper, so he simply called his name: "Lu Shangshu, you are in charge of the Ministry of War, why don't you come and talk about it?"

Lu Daqi, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, was a tall and thin man, over fifty years old, his temples were stained white, his chin was resting on one hand, he didn't know what he was thinking, he was called out by Zhang Shenyan twice before he came back to his senses.

Lu Daqi collected his thoughts and said calmly: "It is my duty to defend Nanjing. But, where is the money? Where are the soldiers? Where are the armor and weapons? If I don't have these things, how can I defend Nanjing?"

Zhang Shenyan was immediately choked by Lu Daqi's words.

Money, food, soldiers, these things have already been sent to the north by Zhang Shenyan to support the imperial court in combat, and there is really nothing here in Nanjing.

Zhang Shenyan laughed dryly and said: "Don't Lu Shangshu still know what is going on in the Nanjing treasury now? At the critical moment, as ministers, we have to share the country's worries. Let's find ways to overcome these difficulties. "

Lu Daqi made a sound and said calmly: "Zhang Shangshu is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and you are in charge of the money. You can give the money to me first, and I will recruit an army for you right away."

Zhang Shenyan was obviously a little unhappy, and said: "Lu Shangshu, is it interesting for you to argue with the old man here? Now we have to find a way to defend Nanjing!"

Lu Daqi snorted, and said coldly: "Isn't this old man trying to defend Nanjing? Money, soldiers, you give this old man!"

The atmosphere instantly became dull.

Seeing this, several other ministers and servants also looked at each other and did not intend to participate in it.

Just as the two were arguing endlessly, a hearty laughter suddenly sounded from outside.

"You two, is it fun to quarrel? Would you like me to set up a debate stage for you, so you can have a good fight?"

Everyone turned their heads in astonishment, and saw a young man striding towards him, followed by a vigorous general and a scholar-bureaucrat who was also vigorous.

You may not know the young man and the military general, but the scholar-officials present are all very familiar, because he has been an official in Jiangnan for many years-Shi Kefa!

Now that he knew about Shi Kefa, the identity of the well-dressed young man in front of Shi Kefa was naturally ready to be revealed.

Everyone stood up and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Zhu Cihong chuckled, nodded and said, "Okay, everyone, sit down."

Zhang Shenyan looked at Zhu Cihong with hope, and said, "His Royal Highness has come suddenly, could it be that he has brought a large army?"

Zhu Cilang nodded with a smile: "To tell the truth from Zhang Shangshu, this time I came here, I really brought a team of troops to rescue Nanjing."

Zhu Cihong went south very fast, out of confidentiality considerations, he didn't even let the Nanjing side know about his situation.

Why keep it secret from Nanjing?Because according to Dongchang's secret report, it is very likely that someone here in Nanjing has secretly colluded with Zuo Liangyu. Zhu Cixiang does not want Zuo Liangyu to know his specific location, so that he can paralyze Zuo Liangyu and use the fastest speed to Rush to Nanjing City.

After listening to Zhu Cihong's words, Zhang Shenyan's face was full of spirits: "That's really great! I don't know how many tens of thousands of troops His Highness brought this time?"

Although Zhang Shenyan was in Nanjing, he had received good news from the north many times in the past year, and knew that his Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, had made great achievements in battle.

Even a first-rate bandit like Li Zicheng can defeat him, so Zhang Xianzhong, the second-rate bandit's subordinate Zuo Liangyu, is naturally not a problem!
The other important ministers in Nanjing of the Ming Dynasty probably thought the same way, with hope shining on their faces.

Zhu Cilang said with a smile: "This time, the Palace has brought three thousand Prince's relatives, just to beat this Zuo Liangyu."

Zhang Shenyan listened with a smile on his face at first, but then he was dumbfounded: "Three, three thousand?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Zhang Shenyan: "...His Royal Highness, are you joking?"

Zhu Cihong looked at Zhang Shenyan seriously: "Zhang Shangshu, do you think this Gong is someone who likes to make jokes about such things?"

Zhang Shenyan's face was ashen: "..."

At this moment, Zhang Shenyan finally experienced what despair is!
Three thousand against fifty thousand, how do you fight?
Nanjing...it's over!

Everyone else obviously thought the same way, and the originally exciting atmosphere suddenly became very stagnant, dull, and even faintly mournful.

Some people's eyes flickered and they lowered their heads, secretly thinking about how they were going to quietly contact Zuo Liangyu.

Zhu Cihong looked around again, seeing the expressions of these guys in front of him, couldn't help laughing.

"Everyone, don't you have any confidence in me?"
