Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 208 Chapter 208, Zhang Xianzhong personally wrote a letter, Zhu Cihong watched the withdrawal

,, in the city of Nanjing, Zhu Cihong got the news.

"A new fleet is coming from upstream?"

After hearing the news, Zhu Cixiang frowned slightly.

Obviously, Li Dingguo came for reinforcements.

Zhu Cihong asked: "Can you see how many new reinforcements there are?"

Fang Gonggan said: "It's too far to see clearly, but judging from the size of the fleet, it shouldn't be a problem to carry thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."

Gao Dejie was worried when he heard the words, and said: "Your Highness, I am a little worried. If Zhang Xianzhong also supports Li Dingguo with all his strength, it may be difficult for us to defend Nanjing City this time."

Gao Dejie's worries are naturally justified.

First of all, of course, the [-] soldiers and horses in the city lacked combat effectiveness because they contained too many new soldiers.

And the most critical point is that the grenade, which could have been used as a big killer, is almost useless when dealing with the artillery of the Atlantis Army.

The Daxi Army had obviously figured it out now. They just used artillery to bombard them until the city wall collapsed and then rushed in.

In that case, the effect of the grenade is suppressed to a minimum.

Therefore, Nanjing City's defensive situation is really not optimistic now.

Zhu Cixiang was still unhurried and said: "It doesn't matter, I have my own ideas."

With system protection, Zhu Cihong is indeed not nervous.

The only thing that confused Zhu Cixiang was that the situation seemed to be quite unfavorable to Daming. Why had the system still not released the sign-in task?

After Gao Dejie left, Zhu Cihong pinched his chin and fell into thinking: "Could it be that there is something else that I don't know?"

On the pier outside the city, listening to Zhang Xianzhong's gentle questioning, Li Dingguo's young face instantly shed a lot of sweat.

Li Dingguo said: "Father, king, son and minister..."

Zhang Xianzhong interrupted Li Dingguo, and said sharply: "This king asked you to put on an appearance that you are about to attack Jiujiang, and force Zuo Liangyu to force Zuo Liangyu to attack Nanjing even more crazily. It's good for you to directly attack Jiujiang!" down.

If this is the case, forget it, you still have to go one step further after defeating Jiujiang, lead the soldiers and horses to Nanjing, control the military power together with Zuo Liangyu's ill-intentioned subordinates, and surround Nanjing!

Is this the reward for your trust in this king?Is this why you remained indifferent even though I issued ten orders? "

Zhang Xianzhong's scolding directly made Li Dingguo sweat profusely, his forehead was stuck to the ground, and he dared not speak.

Around Li Dingguo, everyone fell to their knees with a crash.

Even though Li Dingguo appears to be the commander-in-chief of this army, in the final analysis, it is still the army of Zhang Xianzhong, King of the West!

Zhang Xianzhong snorted, and said: "Come here, take this rebellious son to this king, take him back to Wuchang, and let him think about it behind closed doors!"

Several guards of Zhang Xianzhong came over immediately and took Li Dingguo away.

After doing these things, Zhang Xianzhong moved his eyes to Nanjing, not far away, and stared at it for a long time.

What is certain is that for a while, Zhang Xianzhong looked at Nanjing with greed and desire in his eyes.

This is the founding capital of the Ming Dynasty!
But in the end, the light in Zhang Xianzhong's eyes gradually faded away.

He let out a long sigh.

"The time has not come yet!"

That evening, a new news reached Zhu Cihong.

"Someone sent a letter from outside the city, saying that it was from Daxi Wang Zhang Xianzhong to this palace?"

When he heard the news, Zhu Cixiang's first reaction was a bit baffled, and his second reaction was surprise.

Why did Zhang Xianzhong come here? Didn't he say that the commander was Li Dingguo?
With doubts, Zhu Cihong opened the letter in his hand.

Zhang Xianzhong's handwriting was very scribbled, and the level of education could be seen from the choice of words and sentences, which also made Zhu Cihong a lot of effort when reading the letter.

The text of the letter is as follows:

"To Prince Zhu Cihong of Ming Dynasty:
The king heard that you can still fight, Jiannu and Li Zicheng can't beat you, and Zuo Liangyu lost to you, it is indeed a matter of course.

In fact, I don’t want to attack Nanjing. It’s all up to my subordinates, so you can rest assured that Nanjing is still waiting for the Ming Dynasty.

Starting today, Daxi and Daming are bounded by Jiujiang, the west of Jiujiang City belongs to Daxi, and the east belongs to Daming.

If you disagree, you can bring troops over to fight the king.

The king will withdraw his troops tomorrow. "

Zhu Cihong looked at the letter quietly, a little speechless.

"This Zhang Xianzhong... is interesting."

In front of Zhu Cihong, many important ministers of the Ming Dynasty were already looking forward to it, Zhang Shenyan couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, what did that rebel say?"

Zhu Cihong chuckled, and gestured to the letter in his hand: "My lords, you can take a look at this letter."

The letter was quickly circulated among these important ministers of Ming Dynasty.

After reading it, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty present were also shocked.

"Zhang Xianzhong actually took the initiative to withdraw his troops?"

"Is that impossible?"

"Is he planning some conspiracy?"

Gao Dejie couldn't help looking at Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, what is Zhang Xianzhong's intention this time?"

Zhu Cilang pondered for a moment, then said: "Maybe...he wants to go home for the winter?"

Everyone: "..."

Zhu Cilang laughed and said: "It's just a joke. If what I expect is correct, Zhang Xianzhong should really withdraw his troops."

At this time, Zhu Cihong also began to understand why his sign-in system hadn't responded these days.

The next morning, Zhu Cihong took Zhang Shenyan and a group of senior officials to the city wall.

Sure enough, in their line of sight, many fleets and soldiers had already flowed upstream and slowly left Nanjing City.

A burst of cheers suddenly sounded from the city of Nanjing.

"we won!"

"Da Ming defended Nanjing!"

The cheers spread far and wide to Zhang Xianzhong's flagship.

Zhang Xianzhong turned around and stared at the Nanjing City Wall in the distance.

Li Dingguo stood beside Zhang Xianzhong dejectedly, in stark contrast to his high spirits before.

Zhang Xianzhong withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Dingguo sternly: "Remember, from now on, don't be self-righteous and make your own decisions!"

Li Dingguo bowed his head and said yes.

Zhang Xianzhong snorted, looked at Nanjing drifting away behind him, and let out another long sigh.

"It's a pity that my foundation... is still too shallow."

Zhang Xianzhong had just occupied the entire territory of Hubei not long ago, and after eliminating Zuo Liangyu, he took Jiangxi. This is already the limit of his expansion, and it is also the limit of the Ming court's tolerance for him.

Nanjing?For Zhang Xianzhong at this time, this piece of fat is still too greasy, he might spit it out after eating it, and he might even die!
After a long time, Zhang Xianzhong said to himself.

"One day, this king will come back!"
