Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 199 Chapter 199, Zuo Liangyu surrounded Nanjing, Lu Daqi regarded death as home
Zhu Cihong's rhetorical question was very sharp, and it was impossible for everyone present to answer honestly.

Admit in public that you have no confidence in the crown prince of Ming Dynasty?No fool would do this.

So after Zhu Cihong's rhetorical question, everyone immediately said: "Your Highness is joking, how could I have no confidence in Your Highness?" "This time, I believe that Your Highness will be able to eliminate Zuo Liangyu, a shameful traitor!"

Zhu Cixiang smiled and looked at these ministers quietly, neither agreeing nor refuting.

At this moment, a calm voice sounded: "Your Highness, you use [-] cavalry to resist Zuo Liangyu's [-] army. How is this different from courting death? Why don't you leave Nanjing now and let the ministers die in the place of Your Highness?" This place can be regarded as being loyal to Daming."

The words were so ugly that everyone couldn't help but change their faces after hearing it, and turned to look at the person who said it.

Zhu Cixiang looked at the other party with some curiosity: "Who is this sir?"

As the prince, Zhu Cihong had always lived in seclusion and rarely dealt with the ministers of the court and China.Before this year, there were not many ministers who knew each other with Zhu Cihong in Beijing, let alone Nanjing, which is thousands of miles away.

The other side cupped their hands towards Zhu Cihong: "Lu Daqi, Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing, has seen Your Highness."

"Lu Daqi?" Zhu Cihuang scanned his mind and found that this person was also a person who had been loyal to Daming to the last moment of his life, so he said with great interest: "So Lu Shangshu thinks that this palace can't defend Nanjing City? "

Lu Daqi said calmly: "If His Highness the Crown Prince comes with [-] troops and horses, I have no doubt that His Highness the Crown Prince can beat Zuo Liangyu to pieces, but now His Highness the Prince only has [-] troops and horses, and I feel that the only one who can save His Highness the Prince's life is The way is to leave here immediately."

Zhang Shenyan finally couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the table: "Lv Shangshu, pay attention to the propriety of your words and your duty as a minister!"

Lu Daqi snorted heavily and said, "I am doing my duty as a minister!"

Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel again, at this moment, Zhu Cihong suddenly laughed.

"Okay, okay, don't make any noise. Isn't it clear what I just said? As long as I am here, the city of Nanjing will definitely not be lost!"

When Zhu Cihong spoke, his tone was extremely certain.

Before anyone else could speak again, a general rushed in with a panicked tone.

"My lords, Zuo Liangyu is here!"

Yes, Zuo Liangyu is here.

About an hour after Zhu Cihong arrived in Nanjing City, Zuo Liangyu also led a [-] navy army to arrive at the foot of Nanjing City.

There are hundreds of ships, large and small, densely arranged in the mountains and rivers, which is very impressive.

Zuo Liangyu stood among the flagships on the river, squinting his eyes at the distant city of Nanjing, and said with a smile, "When the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty established his capital here, I'm afraid he didn't expect that Nanjing had only been the capital for decades. , let alone think that Nanjing will be captured in the hands of this king in the future!"

The words were full of confidence, and it was obvious that in Zuo Liangyu's view, Nanjing had already become his possession!
Zuo Liangyu waved his hand: "Send the order, the whole army will land and camp, and attack tomorrow!"

Soon, the mighty army boarded the shore from the pier and began to set up camp in an orderly manner.

The tents surrounded the entire city of Nanjing, and countless banners were flying.

On the Nanjing city wall, the Nanjing officials who had just arrived watched this scene, and their hearts slowly sank.

Zhang Shenyan's face was pale, and he said: "Unexpectedly, after losing to Zhang Xianzhong, Zuo Liangyu could gather so many soldiers and horses, Nanjing, Nanjing may be..."

Considering that Zhu Cihong was still present, Zhang Shenyan did not say the word "it's over" after all.

Zhu Cihong's expression remained calm, and he turned to look at Lu Daqi: "Lu Shangshu, how many soldiers and horses are there in Nanjing now?"

Lu Daqi still had a constipated expression: "One thousand, five hundred and sixty-four soldiers guarding the city."

Zhu Cihong: "..."

Now he knew why Lu Daqi was so determined that he couldn't win.

There are even fewer soldiers and horses in Nanjing City than Zhu Cihong expected in advance.

However, did Zhu Cihong panic?
He wasn't panicking at all.

Zhu Cixiang smiled and patted Lu Daqi's shoulder: "One thousand, five hundred people? Plus my three thousand soldiers and horses, it's enough!"

Lu Daqi: "..."

This time it was Lu Daqi's turn to be speechless.

The minister of the Ministry of War really wanted to scold Zhu Cihong, and he was still blindly optimistic at such a time?
But when the words came to his lips, looking at Zhu Cihong's young and even immature face, Lu Daqi remained silent for a long time, and still chose to swallow the words back.

His Royal Highness, he is only a 15-year-old child.

What is wrong with the child?He was just too young, too reckless, too confident, too... stupid!
Lu Daqi smiled silently and left the city wall.

Back in the mansion, Lu Daqi summoned all the servants and servants.

"I've been waiting for you, haven't I? Today, it's time for you to repay me. Tomorrow, you will follow me up the city wall to kill the enemy!"

Lu Daqi was also determined. Even if he could not prevent the fall of Nanjing City, at least he could use all his resources to make this fall later!
The next morning, Lu Daqi climbed the city wall with more than 200 servants and a feeling of resignation.

As soon as he climbed onto the city wall, Lu Daqi saw Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong was standing beside a battlement, whispering to Gao Dejie, discussing something.

When Lu Daqi walked over, he happened to hear Zhu Cihong say with a smile: "... As long as one can exchange a head, are you afraid that this Zuo Liangyu won't be fucked? Oh, Lu Shangshu, you are here. Ah, your dark circles It’s a bit heavy.”

Lu Daqi glanced at Zhu Cihong, and found that His Royal Highness was in high spirits, and obviously slept soundly last night.

Lu Daqi couldn't help feeling in his heart, His Royal Highness, the prince really has a big heart.

Lu Daqi said: "Your Highness, I have brought all my family members here for His Highness the Crown Prince to encourage."

Zhu Cihong let out a sigh, and then laughed: "Lu Shangshu, you are very energetic, but didn't I say it, there is no need for you to do this, the soldiers and horses I brought are enough to defend."

When Lu Daqi heard this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

No matter what time it is, His Royal Highness is still blindly optimistic here!
Just when Lu Daqi couldn't help but want to speak out and scold Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cihong suddenly stuffed something into Lu Daqi's hand.

Lu Daqi looked at the strange thing in his hand, which was a combination of a wooden handle and an iron cylinder, and couldn't help asking: "What is this?"

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly: "This thing, its name is - grenade!"
