Three days later, Nanjing's official post had fallen into a dead silence.

Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande suddenly changed, and the reports they received one after another had already made them feel that a catastrophe was coming, and the emotions of the two of them seemed to be no longer able to be described as decadent alone, especially Qin Sande, who really knew that he had been in the Jiangning camp for a long time, but at that time he did not go deep into it, everything was floating on the surface, seeing Su Tiancheng commanding the Jiangning camp to win so many battles, he thought that it was easy to achieve victory, who knew that when the Dao really went deep into it, Only then did he realize that he hadn't even been able to grasp the fur, and he was not Su Tiancheng's opponent at all.

The 50,000 troops stationed in Guangdezhou, the 50,000 troops stationed in Ningguofu, a full 100,000 army, but in a few days, they were completely wiped out by the Jiangning battalion, Guangdezhou and Ningguofu fell into the hands of Su Tiancheng, plus the 50,000 troops stationed in Huizhou Mansion, of which 40,000 people have entered Zhejiang to conquer, so far there is no news back, no need to do too much conjecture, Huizhou Mansion can not be saved, as for the 40,000 troops attacking Yuhang, Zhejiang, I am afraid it is also more auspicious.

The situation in Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion is also not good, the Jiangning Battalion has completely occupied Suzhou Mansion, and the army led by Huang De Power has been compressed in Songjiang Mansion and is struggling, as for the 50,000 troops stationed in Changzhou Mansion, they dare not go to the rescue at all.

Not long ago, Qin Sande was still ridiculing Liu Zeqing, the 100,000 army led by him, but in a few days, it was wiped out, and now it is his turn, stationed in Huizhou Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, Guangde Prefecture, Changzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion, but the 250,000 army is about to be wiped out, if this 200,000 army is in just a few days. It was really wiped out by Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, and it was very clear what the fate of Qin Sande and Zhu Youxiang was waiting for.

Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande couldn't believe these news, could it be that Su Tiancheng was an immortal and could be counted, could it be that the sergeants of the Jiangning battalion were beaten with iron. Invulnerable, can you sweep through an army several times your size?

But the cruelty of reality has made Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande lose all their self-confidence.

It should be decided that the Ming army stationed in Changzhou Mansion has sent an urgent request, imploring to withdraw to Nanjing, otherwise staying in Changzhou Mansion will also be completely wiped out, as for Huang Degong, who retreated to Songjiang Mansion. The whip is beyond the reach of Qin Sande and Zhu Youxiang.

It was Zhu Youxiang who broke the silence.

"Father-in-law, I think it is better to hurry up and withdraw the army stationed in Changzhou to Nanjing City, Huizhou Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion and Guangdezhou cannot be saved, and now the focus is to keep Yingtian Mansion, Fengyang Mansion and Yangzhou Mansion."

Qin Sande, whose eyes were blank, looked at Zhu Youxiang for a long time before he spoke.

"Our family didn't expect it, everything is up to the adults."

Zhu Youxiang's face changed slightly, and he wouldn't have thought of it at all. At such a critical moment, it has always been the ambitious Qin Sande. I'm ready to let go, and I'm going to make my own decisions at this time, so I'm going to do it earlier. In fact, when he received a lot of news, Zhu Youxiang had already thought of all the things he had experienced before, and when Qin Sande was about to issue so many orders, Zhu Youxiang felt that it was inappropriate. Some news has not been able to grasp accurately, and rash actions under such circumstances, if they cause major losses, it will be too late to regret it, but unfortunately Qin Sande did not listen at all.

But Zhu Youxiang had no choice. He is the secretary of the military department, and he is the commander of this battle in Nanzhili, Qin Sande is only the supervisor of the army, if the court and the emperor are held accountable, no matter from which point of view, he will be unable to escape the blame.

Now is not the time to be vindictive, nor is it the time to shirk responsibility, the decisions that should be made must be made.

Zhu Youxiang looked at Qin Sande, who was sitting with his head down, stopped talking, turned around and left the room, he was going to give a lot of orders, at this point, the first thing is to protect Nanjing City and Fengyang City, as for other places, it is best to be able to take care of it, in case it can't be held, then there is no way to do it.

After Zhu Youxiang left the room, a strange scene appeared, Qin Sande quickly stood up, with a cold look on his face, it seemed that he had made some major decision.

In fact, in the past three days, Qin Sande has long not thought about Nanjing and Fengyang and other places, how to prepare for and face the war, he thought of the problem of responsibility, such a tragic failure, someone must take responsibility, and this responsibility is not small, in fact, Qin Sande's heart, has estimated that at least more than 200,000 troops will be completely annihilated by Su Tiancheng, that is, the army under the command of Zuo Liangyu before, there is not much left.

Step by step, from the eunuch at the bottom, to the eunuch of Bingbi today, Qin Sande has experienced too many things, and he knows the rules in the palace too well, and he needs to protect himself when he encounters trouble, this is a trick learned in the palace, and it is also a skill that eunuchs must master, otherwise there is no place for them in the unpredictable palace.

The amount is small and non-gentleman is not poisonous and not a husband, Qin Sande has already thought of it, let Zhu Youxiang take all the responsibility, at this time, he must find a way to return to the capital and continue to stay in Nanjing, that is, wait for death.

Qin Sande still has some certainty, he is Wang Chengen's ironcore, Wang Chengen follows the emperor's side every day, and if he says a few good words to the emperor, it is possible to change the emperor's decision, in addition, the relationship between Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, and him is also good, and now is also a critical moment that needs to be used, asking Zhou Yanru to say a few words in front of the emperor, even if he says something unpleasant, as long as he can leave Nanjing, and he is not in the matter of dyeing the guide Zhili, it will be considered a success.

If you want to leave Nanjing, there is another premise, that is, don't talk about the battle situation in Guangdezhou, Ningguofu and other places for the time being, and report it to the imperial court, that is, find a way to temporarily suppress the news, and absolutely can't let the emperor know in advance, as long as he can leave Nanzhili and no longer command this battle, the responsibility will all be on Zhu Youxiang, at that time, even if many adults in the court understand the problems inside, no one will stand up and speak.

Therefore, when Zhu Youxiang was still thinking about the defense of Nanjing City and Fengyang and other places, Qin Sande was already thinking about his own future.

Of course, Qin Sande would not have thought that the direction of development in the future would make him make such vicious moves, which can be said to be in order to be able to shirk responsibility, and do everything.

Zhu Youxiang didn't expect so much, although the news that followed was a five-thunder boom for him, but the more he arrived at this time, the more he needed to be sober, and he had to think about what to do later, in fact, the 200,000 army under Zuo Liangyu was originally average, and it was impossible to count on this 200,000 army to defeat the Jiangning battalion led by Su Tiancheng, but Huang Degong's 50,000 army made Zhu Youxiang feel distressed, this is a real elite army.

In Zhu Youxiang's view, Qin Sande couldn't withstand the blow, and he languished after encountering setbacks, this is not a good temper and temperament, but unfortunately Zhu Youxiang would never have thought that Qin Sande at this time had already changed his mind, and people were already thinking about the way back, and he was ready to smear oil on the bottom of his sleeve.

Zhu Youxiang quickly began to issue orders, the 50,000 Ming troops stationed in Changzhou Mansion, quickly rushed to Nanjing City, and joined the Nanjing Jingying, Changzhou Mansion did not leave a single person, in addition to Huang Degong, who was still struggling to resist, also had to find a way to break through, after the breakthrough rushed to Nanjing City, how much can run out, the key is that Huang Degong has to withdraw.

There are also 10,000 troops stationed in Huizhou Mansion, don't think about receiving the army that has entered Zhejiang, and quickly retreat to Nanjing, so that the number of troops guarding Nanjing exceeds 100,000, relying on the strong city walls of Nanjing, it is absolutely not much of a problem to accept him for a year and a half, as for what to do in the future, it is not a matter that needs to be considered now.

The order was swiftly communicated.

Sun Tai, the secretary of the Nanzhili Military Department, has been guarding the inn, and the news from the front also made him dumbfounded, there are very few people who know the news of Lu Dao, that is, a few people, including Ma Shiying, who is guarding in Fengyang Mansion, does not know the Tao for the time being, this is top secret news, and it cannot be leaked in the slightest.

Sun Tai knew very well that the Nanjing Jingying must make a move, the Beijing camp is not in the city of Nanjing, but now it needs to be stationed in the city, and it is necessary to find a suitable place to be stationed, and at the same time, it is necessary to vacate some places to accommodate the army withdrawn from the front, and the corresponding grain and grass preparations, etc., are all things that need to be considered, and these things also need to be implemented by him personally.

Suffering such a heavy defeat, Sun Tai faintly felt that it was not good, even if Nanjing City was temporarily held, what should be done in the future, whether it was the Ming army returning from the front, or the Beijing camp in Nanjing, it was obviously not the opponent of the Jiangning battalion, in this case, Nanjing City had no hope and a way out.

Sun Tai, who felt confused, was in a very bad mood, he worked hard to get promoted, and was sent to Nanzhili to serve as the secretary of the military department, counselor and maintenance, and he could be regarded as a special feudal official, but unfortunately he never dreamed that he was actually transferred to the fire pit, knowing that today, he didn't want to think about any promotion, and he also went to find Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, and did not see Zhou Yanru himself, but saw Zhou Yanru's housekeeper Zhou Kang.

Although many of the orders issued by Zhu Youxiang were not directly aimed at him Sun Tai, Sun Tai also understood the meaning between the lines, and after all the heralds left, Zhu Youxiang spoke to Sun Tai.

"Lord Sun, now is a time of crisis for the imperial court, you and I can only tide over the difficulties by working together, and this official can't think of anything else, defend Nanjing and Fengyang Mansion City, and the rest of the things, let's take one step at a time." (To be continued......)
