Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

You can often see three or five tigers in groups!

In times of disaster, it is not uncommon for a dozen or even dozens of tigers to attack a village together!

The five people were bled on Zheng Sen's order and then thrown into the river...

When we arrived in the Xiangyang area, there was still a complete skeleton left on the hemp rope, which meant that the ancestors of these people burned high incense!

Zheng Sen's fleet had just formed its formation when he saw a churning in the river behind the ship.

Accompanied by several shrill howls, the blood stained the river surface red...

……

Nanjing.

The courtiers finally saw off the envoys. These past few days were a time of great joy, and even going to court was a bit more positive.

On this day, everyone gathered together and were about to help Zhu Yousong wash his face with saliva!

Suddenly, someone ran in in despair:

"It's not good, it's not good!"

Although Ma Shiying was almost ignored, as the chief assistant, he still stood up and scolded:

"What kind of behavior do you have to shout and yell in front of His Majesty!"

Ma Shiying was about to have the young general pulled out and slapped, when he heard the young general cry and say quickly:

"Your Majesty, superior officers, it's not good, it's not good!"

"On the river, another group of warships came. Judging from the scale, they are larger than Zheng Hongkui's navy!"

what!

This sudden change frightened all the ministers.

Immediately, many people quietly retreated along the corner.

Fighting and other things are all the work of soldiers, what does it have to do with us civil servants?

Damn it, it’s important to save your life!

Han Chuang studied hard for ten years and worked hard in officialdom for decades. He can't be as worthless as a soldier...

……

Ma Shiying did not care about maintaining order in the court, and immediately handed over to Zhu Yousong:

"Your Majesty, sit down and let me go take a look!"

After saying that, before Zhu Yousong could speak, Ma Shiying walked away quickly.

After exiting the court, and even Zhu Yousong sitting on the throne could see him, Ma Shiying quickly ran towards the outside of the palace.

As the chief minister, Ma Shiying doesn't need any dignity at all!

He asked for a war horse from the palace guard and galloped towards the Lion Rock.

After leaving Yifeng Gate, Ruan Dacheng also chased after him:

"Yao Cao, I'll go with you!"

Ma Shiying slowed down his horse slightly, waited for Ruan Dacheng to catch up, and rode with him towards the Lion Rock.

Emperor Hongwu once wanted to build Yuejiang Tower on Lion Rock, but he stopped after the foundation was laid.

Although there are no high-rise buildings on the top of the mountain, since there are no high mountains in Nanjing, this Lion Rock is already considered the peak.

Therefore, standing on the top of the mountain, you can clearly see the Yangtze River.

The two of them looked around and suddenly took a breath of cold air.

I could see that the river in the distance was filled with ships, nearly a thousand ships of various colors.

The ships almost all over the river are heading towards Nanjing.

"Oh my God!"

Ma Shiying exclaimed.

Ruan Dacheng frowned, thought for a moment, and said urgently:

"Yao Cao, send the order quickly, seal off the capital, order all ministries to hold on, and at the same time dispatch troops and horses to the King Qin!"

Ma Shiying did not dare to delay, and immediately went down to Lion Rock with Ruan Dacheng.

When they returned to the palace, they discovered that there were only a dozen or so scattered courtiers left in the grand Jinluan Palace.

Ninety-nine percent of the members of Donglin and Fushe, who were stiff-necked just now and spoke so much of loyalty, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, have disappeared...

Zhu Yousong was sitting on the dragon chair restlessly. When he saw the two people coming back, he said anxiously:

"What's going on with Ma Qing's family and Ruan Qing's family?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. With my veteran here, everything will be fine."

Ma Shiying did not dare to tell Zhu Yousong the truth, so he comforted him.

Zhu Yousong was obviously relieved, and he bowed his hands to the two of them:

"You two ministers, I leave all state affairs to you!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yousong said to the dozen or so courtiers with obviously ugly faces:

"My dear friends, our country is in a time of great calamity. I hope that all of you will work together to overcome the difficulties!"

Even though some of the people present were wary, they were also rare and brave people.

They sent Zhu Yousong down to court, and a group of people surrounded Ma Shiying and hurriedly asked for countermeasures.

Ma Shiying said:

“The current plan is to seal off the capital and implement the street cleaning policy.

Quickly mobilize soldiers from surrounding states and counties to rush to the capital.

By the way, after letting them join together as a team, they must not be defeated one by one by anyone else!

In addition, recruit strong men in the city to serve as civilian husbands, distribute weapons, and go to the city to defend!

Everyone, the walls of the capital city are high and thick, and the bad guys will not be able to break through them for a while. As long as we don't have civil strife, it will be fine!

There are many things that are so complicated that Ma Yaocao alone is absolutely powerless, so I leave them to you. "

To be fair, Ma Shiying was a frontier official who rose up step by step. Although party disputes became the trigger for the downfall of the Hongguang Dynasty, he was not a treacherous minister.

Even being able to serve as the governor of Fengyang, the central capital, in the chaos of the last years of Chongzhen, itself proves his talents.

You know, the political status of Fengyang in the Ming Dynasty was second only to Nanjing.

In the generally mediocre environment of Jiangnan Chaotang, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng could even be regarded as the leaders of the pragmatic faction.

There is almost no fault with Ma Shiying's response.

After dismissing everyone, Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng hurried back home and put on their armor.

The two of them planned to take their servants with them personally and rush to the city to stabilize their morale.

Who knows, before reaching the city gate, they will see that the street has been blocked.

Countless carriages, carrying the officials' sons and daughters, were crowded at the city gate under the protection of the heroic servants...

These people actually want to escape from the city...

Ma Shiying was furious.

However, there were carriages in front and behind him, and he was stuck on the road...

The owners of these carriages are all great Confucian scholars from the south of the Yangtze River, all are ministers of the imperial court, and all are world-famous celebrities from Donglin and Fushe...

In fact, when dignitaries want to leave the city, there are more servants to protect them than there are soldiers to protect Nanjing City!

The soldiers guarding the city gate obeyed the orders of Ma Shiying and others and wanted to close the door.

However, the usually lawless officials actually ordered the servants to pull the soldiers aside and beat them up!

Just because they blocked the "nobles" from leaving the city!

Ma Shiying was blocked halfway in the road and couldn't move.

On the other side, Ruan Dacheng was pointed at his nose and scolded.

It turned out that the city gate on his side was also crowded with scholars who wanted to leave the city.

Ruan Dacheng moved a step faster and was at the front of the queue when he arrived at the city gate cave.

He pushed forward with difficulty, relying on his status, and forcefully asked the soldiers to drive away the vehicles and close the city gate.

how do you know...

Those Donglin and Fushe disciples actually pointed at Ruan Dacheng's nose and yelled.

Say he is some kind of eunuch's lackey, and everyone will find him and kill him...
