Since Zhu Jie has decided to compete for the throne of the emperor, he naturally has to make full preparations, he has made countless enemies in the court, and there are not many people who support him, fortunately, this is in Nanjing City, not in Beijing City, the magnates in Beijing City have almost been wiped out, but there are not many who escaped alive, the remaining magnates in Nanjing City, they still have Shi Kefa to support themselves, Gao Hongtu can also fight for it, Huang Degong remains neutral, and then Sun Chuanting and Hou Sui support him, it is also a not weak force, as for the backing, Could it be that the Ming Dynasty still has a stronger backing than the Three Towns of Nanjing and the Tianwei Army?

After solving the problem of bloodline and identity, Zhu Jie now has no worries at all.

Zhu Jie and Qin Mufeng led the cavalry battalion and musket battalion, all the way back to Nanjing, while Cha Zhu led the infantry in Nanjing Town to follow.

In just three days, Zhu Jie returned to Nanjing City, and the whole city of Nanjing was very puzzled by the return of the three towns of Nanjing, why did this second pole run back again? Could it be that the Tartars in the north have withdrawn?

As soon as Zhu Jie returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials, he invited Huang Degong over.

As the chief soldier of Luzhou Town, although Huang Degong's official rank is not high, he is only a military general, but he holds the heavy army of Luzhou Town, and Huang Degong's status in Nanjing is very important.

"Zhen Guogong, you, why did you suddenly return to the capital again?"

Huang Degong asked Zhu Jie with a stomach full of questions.

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Lord Huang, you want to come to the Jingzhong Country, the general army of the towns of the Ming Dynasty, you can let me take a look at it, you are one of them, today's return of the governor, it is naturally a matter of confidentiality, and the military is a major matter!" ”

Huang Degong was puzzled: "Thank you for your attention, but what is it that made you return to Nanjing City from Fengyang Mansion?" ”

"There is no other reason, the capital has fallen, the emperor hanged himself, the prince and the prince all fell into the hands of the Tartars, and in a few days, the news will come over......"

Yes......

Huang Degong screamed in surprise and sat on the chair, a thunderbolt on a sunny day, definitely a thunderbolt on a sunny day!

"Ah, the emperor, the emperor, the micro-ministers are incompetent, the micro-ministers are incompetent, the internal can't suppress the rebels, and the outside can't be lower than the Jiannu, resulting in the emperor Bintian, the capital crime of the micro-minister, the capital crime of the micro-minister......"

Huang Degong howled and cried, beating his chest, Huang Degong was originally a soldier in the Beijing camp, step by step from a soldier to a general soldier, although his own talent is outstanding, but he does not have Chongzhen's trust, how can he go to such a high position and hold a heavy power? Although Huang Degong was arrogant, he was loyal, and when he heard the bad news of Chongzhen's martyrdom, he naturally couldn't help but let out a loud cry of grief.

"Lord Huang, mourn, now that the Manchurian Tartar soldiers are flourishing, coveting the entire Daming Dynasty, they may go south at any time, now is not the time for you to cry bitterly......"

Zhu Jie said slowly.

Huang Degong wiped a handful of tears and shouted, "Zhu Jie, what do you mean?" I Huang Degong is deeply grateful to the emperor, and you Zhu Jie has received much more imperial grace than me! The fall of the capital, the emperor's death festival, you don't lead the army to the north and fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, why did you run back to Nanjing, are you afraid of Jiannu? If you are afraid of Jiannu, then hand over the military power to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will personally lead the army to the north and fight to the death with Jiannu! ”

Zhu Jie's face sank, and he shouted, "Lord Huang, what are you talking about?" Could it be that if you want to fight a decisive battle with the Manchurian Tartars, I, Zhu Jie, am greedy for life and afraid of death? If I was greedy for life and afraid of death, why did I take the initiative to ask for help and go to Manchuria alone? ”

"Then why are you coming back?"

Huang Degong shouted.

Zhu Jie sighed and replied: "Lord Huang, your mood can be understood by the Governor, but now that the emperor has been martyred, the entire Ming Dynasty has no leader, and each place has its own government, I led an army of 100,000 to fight, where does the military salary come from?" Where does the food and grass come from? Where does the ammunition come from? The government decrees in the world are chaotic, and there is no stable supply in the rear, even if I mobilize 300,000 troops to fight, wouldn't there still be losses and no wins? ”

Huang Degong's expression was stunned, his heart was shocked just now, and he was furious, he actually forgot about this, there is no stable logistics supply, not to mention a long-term confrontation with the Qing army, I am afraid that if I can't hold on for even a month, I will fall and scatter, in the elite army, there is no food and grass and military salary, and there is no way to fight!

"Lord Huang, I have ordered the mobilization of the Tianwei Army to advance to the north, the four towns of the Tianwei Army and the Tongzhou Town withdrawn from the capital, will gather in the Daimyo Mansion, deploy a defensive line in the Daimyo Mansion, and organize the Manchurian Tartars to continue to move south, in a short period of time, all the grain and grass will be supplied by Henan, and there will not be too many problems for the time being, but after a long time, there is not enough food and salary, and they will still have to retreat, otherwise, these armies will all have to become cannon fodder for the Manchurian Tartars, and the imperial court has been at war with the Manchurian Tartars over the years, and the soldiers have been lost, But I can't afford to lose such an elite as the Tianwei Army anymore! ”

Huang Degong's face was gloomy, and he asked astringently: "Zhen Guogong, what should I do next?" Not to mention anything else, if you say that you go north to the Central Plains, fight against Jiannu, Zhenguo Gong, I Huang Degong is the same, and all the troops will be pulled up! ”

Qin Mufeng on the side pursed his lips and replied: "Lord Huang, it's not that I look down on you, the four towns of the Tianwei Army may not be able to stop the Manchurian Tartars in the north, what can you do in a Luzhou town?" Pull it up? There was no supply of military salaries, so you pulled the brothers up, and you let them drink the northwest wind? ”

Huang Degong glared at Qin Mufeng fiercely, and asked rhetorically: "It's not okay to pull it up, then I'm in Nanjing City just like you?" In that case, Lao Tzu would rather die on the battlefield! ”

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Lord Huang, this is the reason why I invited you to come, if you want to defeat the Manchurian Tartars in one fell swoop, you must have a stable court situation and rear; If you want to have a stable rear of the imperial situation, you must support a new monarch as soon as possible and win the hearts of the people in the world, understand? ”

Huang Degong suddenly woke up, Zhen Guogong was right, to support the new monarch, it is necessary to support the new monarch, the only teacher is famous, as soon as the holy decree comes out, the world responds, and the problem of natural military salary is solved, as long as there is a steady stream of military salary, what are you afraid of? There are people in the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a person who can drown Jiannu with a mouthful of spit!

"Zhenguo Gong, it's just that the emperor was martyred, and the prince and the prince were also taken captive by Jiannu, who do we support to be the emperor......"

Huang Degong said sadly, he is just a general, where did he think about it so carefully?

"Hehe, Lord Huang, are you stupid? The emperor was martyred, and the prince and the prince were also unlucky, but don't we still have our family? He's an authentic Taizu Miao descendant......"

Qin Mufeng said with a smile.

"Come on!"

Huang Degong said abruptly: "Qin Mufeng, you fool the ghost!" Who in the world doesn't know that Zhenguo Gong is just the righteous son of Empress Yi'an, born in a reckless background, where is the descendant of Emperor Taizu? Not even a vassal king! ”
