When the two came to the Auxiliary King's tent, almost all the other generals had arrived, and Zhu Linmiao really praised Deng Shan's "beheading" of Yang Zhihe, the captured general Yang Zhihe, and more than 300 of his subordinates, and said that he had gone to the court to ask for merit.

Deng Shan immediately stood up and thanked the Auxiliary King, and then arched his hand and said loudly: "Your Highness, yesterday's gunpowder was used less. The subordinates are willing to lead the team again tonight, bury a thousand catties of gunpowder in the big pit that was blown up last night, and will definitely be able to blow down the city wall in one fell swoop! ”

Zhu Linmiao waved his hand and said: "I looked at the explosion yesterday, and it seems that with the power of black powder, it is unlikely that it will blow up the city wall even with a thousand catties." ”

"Your Highness, if you don't work once, you can do it twice, three times, I still don't believe ......"

Zhu Linmiao smiled at him and signaled, "General Deng, don't be impatient, this city-breaking matter will definitely be handed over to you." But I don't need gunpowder, and I'll have to prepare for some time. ”

Deng Shan immediately opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, my subordinates are waiting for His Highness to send at any time!" ”

Zhu Linmiao said to the generals again: "The matter of capturing Nanjing must be stepped up. He picked up a letter, "This is a secret report from Beijing sent by Jinyiwei. Dolgon transferred Wu Sangui of Jinzhou to the south to reinforce Nanjing. If they are allowed to enter the city, it will be extremely unfavorable to the overall situation of our recovery of Nanjing. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but show annoyance. Wu Sangui's Guanning army was the most elite border army of the Ming Dynasty in the last years of Chongzhen, with extremely strong combat power, but it was captured and fought for the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the south and the north, and at this time he was going to come to Nanjing to stir up.

"Hmph, if he dares to come, he will teach him that he can't leave a single one!"

"Everyone who is a thief will be punished!"

"Wu Sangui, a dog thief, even has the face to go out?!"

But after all, everyone also knows that if the 30,000 Guanning elites really arrive in Nanjing, it will greatly delay the Ming Dynasty's capture of Nanjing.

"It is necessary to take Nanking before this dog thief arrives."

"That's right! Can't let the thieves continue to toss Ying Tianfu anymore. ”

Zhu Linmiao said: "Recently, everyone should pay attention to arming and beware of thieves' sneak attacks. I have prepared a sharp weapon to break the city here, and I can recover Nanjing in one day.

In addition, the letter also mentioned that more than 300 warships of the Jianyu Naval Division had already crossed the mountain and headed southeast. This was news from two days ago, and I estimate that in five or six days at most, the pirate ship will be able to reach the mouth of the Yangtze River.

"There is no news about the newly built warships in Yongbeili, and with the existing warships of our naval division, it is not appropriate to fight with the captives. If we occupy the Yangtze River by then, we will have to set up a defensive line on the south bank as early as possible......"

As he was talking, he saw Shi Lin bring two patrol cavalry into the account, "My lord, they said that there is an urgent report." ”

The two hussars then saluted: "Report! A number of thieves went out of the city to see His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King, saying that they wanted to negotiate peace. ”

"Peace?!" The tent immediately exploded.

"Hong Chengchou is scared, haha!"

"Hmph, this Jianyu also has a day of peace!"

Zhu Linmiao thought about it for a while, expecting that ninety percent of them would be deceitful, but he still ordered: "Bring them to my big tent." ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Liang Huafeng brought a few entourages, and entered the account with Hong Chengchou's seal and appearance.

They first bowed to Zhu Linmiao, and then "greeted" a few words, and then went straight to the point, "Your Highness, Hongdutang knows the courage of the army, Jiangning...... No, the weak soldiers in the city of Nanjing will not be able to defeat them. So he thought about opening the city gate and welcoming His Highness in. ”

Liang Huafeng said and made a helpless expression, and said with a bitter face: "However, there is an example in my dynasty, if anyone who defends the city can keep it for thirty days, he will not be guilty of his wife and children after losing the city." Now all the generals in the city are in Beijing, and if the city is surrendered immediately, they will not live. I beg His Highness to give a grace period until the end of the month, and before he has been counted as loyal, he will open the city to welcome the surrender. ”

Zhu Linmiao almost laughed out loud when she heard this. He used to read the historical materials and said that when Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition besieged Nanjing, the Qing army came up with a delaying plan of "dedicating the city at the end of January" to delay, originally thought it was just a fabrication, but he didn't expect them to really come to this hand!

However, in history, this strategy, which is called "the stupidest strategy in history", really deceived Zheng Chenggong - it can only be said that he is too gentlemanly, and he can't bear to be affected by the officials and their families, and he hopes that the army will break through Nanjing without blood, so as to preserve his strength, so he really waited for a month. As a result, Jianlu transferred more than 100,000 troops from all over the country to reinforce Nanjing, and finally defeated Zheng Damu with a sneak attack.

However, at this time, at the moment, he was unwilling to storm Nanjing City, and he needed a buffer time to prepare, which was exactly what he wanted.

Zhu Linmiao also pretended to say: "Hong Chengchou can talk and count? ”

"This is an oath written by Lord Metropolitan himself!"

Zhu Linmiao couldn't help laughing, took it and looked at it, then nodded and said, "Since I swore a poisonous oath, then I can't embarrass you, so it's settled......"

"My lord, no!" Zhang Jiayu was the first to object, "Those who resign are deceitful." Those who ask for peace without an appointment will seek also. This must be a plan! ”

"Yes, you can't be gullible!"

"The old thief Hong is scheming......"

Zhu Linmiao waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Hong Chengchou is also a person with a head and a face, I swear by such a curse, I should believe him." ”

He said to Liang Huafeng again: "However, I originally planned to capture Nanjing in these two days, but this time I will delay it here for a month." As a sign of sincerity, you must bear the army's food, grass, and salary for this month. ”

Liang Huafeng was overjoyed, if it could be delayed for a month, reinforcements would arrive, what is the money and food compared to it? He nodded busily, "It should, it should!" ”

"Okay, then you go back and tell Hong Chengchou to transport 10,000 stone grain and rice, and 90,000 taels of military pay outside the city. I will wait for you to open the city and surrender in a month. ”

Liang Huafeng said in his heart, it was really dark enough, but he still gritted his teeth and agreed.

As soon as he walked out of the barracks, there was immediately a voice of exhortation in the big tent, saying that he should not trust the thief. Zhu Linmiao only said simply, "Mountain people have their own tricks." ”

As soon as the arrangements for the army were completed and the generals left, Zhu Linmiao immediately instructed Shi Lin: "Send a fast horse to Shaoxing and pick up Yao Qisheng and others." And his experimental equipment should also be brought, and the action must be fast! ”

"Yes!"

Coincidentally, Shi Lin didn't take a few steps out of the tent before he immediately turned back, "My lord, Yao Qisheng is here, as well as Song Shilang and others." ”

Zhu Linmiao was overjoyed, "Let them come in." ”

A few people entered the account and saw the salute, and Song Yingxing said first: "Your Highness, you ordered the students to supervise the construction of the warship last time, and the students are here to report to you this time." ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded and said, "We will talk about the warship later, and Mr. Song will wait for you." He turned to Yao Qisheng and the others, "I was about to look for you, but you came by yourself." ”

Yao Qisheng hurriedly said: "The students and others set up a rubber factory in Ningbo according to His Royal Highness's order, and it has begun to be successful, but the details of the process still need to be consulted by His Royal Highness the Prime Minister. In addition, the students thought that the cost of artillery seals on the front line must be not small, and they made 8,000 and sent them. "Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself?
