Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

For the meritorious service of Geng Daoming.

They actually used wooden boats captured from the enemy.

Take some soldiers with you to play forward.

We rushed to Zhenjiang as quickly as possible.

Zhenjiang is not far from Nanjing City, and there are many troops stationed here.

Ever since.

After the enemy saw Geng Daoming and his men's wooden boat.

They found that there were only 1000 to wooden boats and a force of no more than men.

They dared to attack Zhenjiang City.

Who the hell is this person looking down on?

So after Geng Daoming and his men entered the firing range.

The defenders of Zhenjiang City immediately opened fire.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The enemy's red cannons opened fire one after another.

However, the enemy's artillery was not accurate and they used solid shells.

The shells landed on the surface of the river, splashing high water.

But it did not pose much threat to Geng Daoming and his men.

Geng Daoming ordered: "Open fire with two mortars, and don't move the other artillery pieces yet, just destroy the enemy's artillery."

Then the mortars opened fire.

Facing the artillery positions on the enemy's city walls.

Several shells whizzed past.

"Rumble..."

Well-trained naval artillery.

With just a few shots, all of the enemy's dozen red cannons were blown off the city wall.

The enemy's artillerymen were either killed or wounded.

Followed by.

Geng Daoming and his men quickly reached the shore and began charging towards the city gate...

"Da da da da..."

"Rumble...Rumble..."

After Geng Daoming and his men landed, they displayed their full firepower.

The enemy was beaten so hard that he cried for his parents and fled in panic.

Then he blew open the city gate and rushed in.

Soon they occupied Zhenjiang City...

……

And over in Nanjing.

After Emperor Chongzhen and his men received the battle report.

The civil and military officials and the emperor were all panicked.

I thought it could hold out for a while.

Unexpectedly, Mao Wenlong and his men suddenly changed their strategy and attacked directly from the Yangtze River waterway.

The city of Nanjing was now in danger.

Emperor Chongzhen quickly summoned civil and military officials to discuss the matter.

Almost everyone advised Emperor Chongzhen to quickly lead a large army to launch a southern expedition.

Emperor Chongzhen was also very interested.

But he had already lost Beijing, and if he didn't fire a single shot he would lose Nanjing again.

So where would Emperor Chongzhen put his face?

Emperor Chongzhen has always been very concerned about his reputation.

Even though I was very nervous.

But I didn't want to just run away like that.

Emperor Chongzhen then asked: "This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. We have already lost one capital, and we cannot lose this one again!

My dear ministers, who among you is willing to stay and defend the capital? Those who are willing to defend the capital will be rewarded handsomely. "

I thought it was such a chore.

No one would be willing to stay.

But Emperor Chongzhen had just finished speaking.

Qin Liangyu led troops to defend the king.

He stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the white-pole soldiers and defend Nanjing City to the death."

Emperor Chongzhen: "General Qin is a woman who is as capable as a man, but the White Spear Soldiers have too few soldiers. Is General Qin confident that he can hold on to Nanjing?"

Qin Liangyu: "Your Majesty, if the city survives, the people will be there. If the city is destroyed, the people will die."

Emperor Chongzhen: "Good, good, good, Qin Aiqing is truly loyal to the country. It is my honor to have a good general like you.

It's a pity that my ability is limited, and Mao Wenlong, the traitor, is too powerful. I really feel ashamed of you, my dear minister, and my ancestors! Then I will leave the city of Nanjing to you, my dear minister Qin..."

Emperor Chongzhen had not yet finished speaking.

Several more ministers stepped forward.

They said in unison: "Your Majesty, we are willing to stay and help General Qin defend the city."

Emperor Chongzhen took a look.

The ministers who came out were Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong, Cao Wenzhao, Yuan Chonghuan and Man Gui.

Yuan Chonghuan is now Chongzhen's die-hard supporter.

Man Gui had been subdued by Yuan Chonghuan.

So these two people definitely cannot stay.

Otherwise, there would be no reliable generals available to Emperor Chongzhen!

Emperor Chongzhen said: "I will lead the army in person this time, and I cannot be without generals by my side. My dear ministers Yuan and Man Gui, you will accompany me to the southern expedition!

As for the safety of Nanjing, it is in the hands of General Qin Liangyu, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and Cao Wenzhao. You must work together to do your best to defend the city of Nanjing.

If the enemy is too powerful and it is impossible to do anything, I will allow you to move south..."

Emperor Chongzhen's meaning was very clear.

That is to let people fight a battle with Mao Wenlong and others in Nanjing City.

If you really can't beat them, you can only give up.

In this way, it can be considered to be justified in terms of face.

This is much better than running away.

But there is no need to fight here...

……

After quickly formulating a strategy.

Emperor Chongzhen brought with him ministers including Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui and Wang Huazhen.

He led a large army and left Nanjing.

March quickly towards Nanning.

The entire Jiangnan region is no longer wanted.

Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen and his civil and military ministers had all seen it very clearly.

Facing the fierce attack from Mao Wenlong and his men.

The army of the Ming Dynasty couldn’t hold on at all!

It would be better to just go south and save the troops for the southern expedition.

So along this way.

Emperor Chongzhen and his entourage continued to recruit troops from all over the country.

Then the troops heading south became larger and larger...

This side of Nanjing city.

The generals who stayed behind gathered together.

When discussing the so-called strategies and tactics, everyone actually has their own thoughts.

The generals had just sat down not long ago.

Suddenly another old man came over.

Qin Liangyu and the others turned around and saw that the person coming was actually Sun Chengzong?

"Master Sun, why haven't you left yet?"

"Yes, Lord Sun, please leave quickly. If you don't leave now, it will be too late!"

"Master Sun..."

Everyone started to persuade him.

Sun Chengzong waved his hand indifferently.

He said calmly: "I am old! I am so old now, I really can't stand the hardship anymore!

I will stay and defend the city with you. Even if I die, I want to die on the land of Ming. I don't want to die in a foreign land!"

Lu Xiangsheng asked: "Master Sun, Mao Wenlong and his men are extremely ruthless. It is said that wherever they occupy,

All the noble families, wealthy merchants, temples, and landlords have been brutally liquidated. Aren't you worried at all?"
