Chapter five hundred and seventy third: Armageddon
Liang Zhenghai can be said to be able to speak in all his knowledge and speak in all his words.
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi just sneered.
To be honest... Emperor Aoki understood clearly, these people... are all waste.
Not to mention that he came to kill, even if there were bandits coming, Emperor Tianqi could have predicted that he would definitely not be able to count on these people.
Emperor Tianqi said: "Hang up this dog, hang a sign, and write: I'm here!"
As he said that, Emperor Tianqi no longer paid attention to Liang Zhenghai.
In a sense, after seeing those stolen officials who were ill-hearted, Emperor Tianqi did not think that Liang Zhenghai was extremely guilty.
To put it bluntly, slaughtering such people is meaningless.
At this time, Emperor Tianqi said to Zhang Jing with pride: "It seems... we are doing the right thing. The guards in Jiangnan are so corrupt that they are just empty. I just need a kick to make it fall down."
His eyes were shining with confidence.
Zhang Jingyi frowned and said, "Your Majesty, don't be careless."
"What?" Emperor Tianqi said in confusion: "Have you seen how poor the combat power of these people is?"
Zhang Jing shook his head, but said, "This is different. The reason why these people's combat power is so low is that they are fighting for the public! When they fight for the public, they will run away without any pressure once they come into contact. But once someone knows that Your Majesty is going to enter Nanjing City and want to capture these traitors in a fight, then... these people will know that there is no way out and will fight to the death. They will rather break their wits than to be a complete one. They will emptie their servants, integrate their confidants, and fight to the end."
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi showed a melancholy look and couldn't help but say, "Will you fight for yourself, and you will fight for one soldier?"
But if you think about it carefully, isn’t it the same? During the public war, if everyone was willing to work together, why would the situation in Liaodong be so corrupt at that time? Even when the Japanese pirates were rampant, how could the Japanese pirates be so corrupt that the southeast would be corrupt?
Emperor Apocalypse said: "These people... are really ridiculous."
Zhang Jingyi didn't find it ridiculous at all.
The army continued to advance, and after another two days, it had already penetrated into the hinterland of Jiangnan. After passing Jiangsu Prefecture, it was the Dantu.
At this time, the army was still as fast as the wind.
This beautiful scenery in Jiangnan is certainly unparalleled.
However, there were also many broken houses along the way, mostly people with unclothed clothes, looking at the army passing by with their faces.
Some people even heard of the army coming and thought it was a bandit. There were many barefoot young people who were happy and made an appointment to come to join the bandits.
The students wanted to take people, but Emperor Tianqi persuaded them, saying, "Don't pay attention. If you are here, like them, don't you want to follow the thief? Don't say anything like loyalty and righteousness, these are all used by scholars to fool me. Although there is loyalty and righteousness in the world, this loyalty and righteousness... is based on the fact that I can fill the people of the world and let them live and work in peace and contentment."
Obviously, the Emperor of Apocalypse changed at this time.
His thinking began to become deeper.
In fact... he began to understand Emperor Taizu Gao more and more! Emperor Taizu Gao was a man who came out of the late dynasty. He saw people's hearts too thoroughly. After all, in the late dynasty, even the last little moral cloak disappeared.
And isn’t the same with the Emperor of Heaven today? Is the current situation much better than the chaos in the late Yuan Dynasty?
At this time, he had already seen all kinds of things, and only then did he know what he should do if he wanted to continue the country.
The army continued to advance, and in another day... the army finally approached Xiaotangshan.
And at this moment, Nanzhili vibrated.
The whole city of Nanjing has come back to its taste.
The pleasure boat wandering in the Qinhuai River no longer sings and laughs, and chats with wine.
There is only...dead silence.
Everyone on the pleasure boat was frowning.
Because no one here expected that His Majesty would make such a choice.
So...after the dead silence.
Finally someone said, "Your Majesty is really confused."
Everyone looked up and looked at the person in the first place.
But I saw the person sitting in the head, smiling and holding a wise bead, and it seemed that he was not affected by the current situation at all.
This time he did not drink alcohol, but took a sip of tea slowly.
Then… said lightly: “This foolish monarch has five defeats.”
Everyone was silent, still listening quietly.
The man said slowly: "First: suddenly advances, there will be a loss of time. Second: northerners come to Jiangnan and lose their place. Third: Jiangnan and all the people are willing to share the same hatred with us. When everyone talks about this foolish monarch, they will be afraid of it. In addition, he rashly advances and moves all the way, but it is actually at the end of his strength. I heard that they quickly reached Xiaotangshan... Now... I am exhausted, so... But like Xiang Yu who was trapped in the siege of Gaixia, he is brave, but in fact he goes deep into the hinterland of Jiangnan and is surrounded by enemies. Fifth, Nanjing City has fortresses, with elite soldiers and a large number of military forts. If they want to go further, they are afraid it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"
"With these five defeats, how can there be a reason for victory? The tyrant lord, the tyrant lord. I really didn't expect that he would come to the door. It seems that the emperor has been a long time and is surrounded by eunuchs, flattering every day, so that he is so confused that he is so confused."
Then he stood up, his eyes were filled with a sharp look in his pocket, and he continued to say, "We are already sure to win, why are we still worried? Today, we just make mistakes and kill the foolish monarch, so why not?"
When I heard the four words "killing a foolish king".
Many people's hearts suddenly stumbled.
In fact, this is how people are. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. What kind of bullshit is the emperor? I am here to be the local emperor.
At least, they are mentally so.
So when he said that he would deal with the imperial envoy Zhou Yingqiu, everyone had no burden. On the one hand, this was the idea of everyone, and they were not afraid of it. What should I be afraid of?
On the other hand, people like me are rooted in Jiangnan and deeply rooted. Is the court really willing to turn against each other?
But……
I really want to kill the regicide...but it's another idea.
After a long time, everyone still hesitated.
The man said again, "What? Is there any other idea when it comes to business? Let me tell the truth. The tyrant lord led his army to attack for a long distance. Look, it's only a few days, and it's just a few days... Why is the tyrant lord so urgent? Do you really think that this tyrant is going to travel south? Tell you the truth, he is for you. This tyrant lord is cruel and unkind. Once you arrive in Nanjing, you will pursue the assassination of the imperial envoy. I will ask you, your wife, children, and young people are all in Jiangnan. Who will be spared? You must know that the tyrant lord is a good man to confiscate the house. At that time... you will die without a burial place. Who can be spared?"
Speaking of this, the man smiled grimly and continued, "For the sake of this, we should pay the silver and make strong efforts. I will start first. I have five hundred clans, 30,000 taels of silver and 5,000 stones of grain here, and I am willing to supply military supplies."
"Since Your Majesty has arrived at Xiaotang Mountain, then... to break the stone city, you must take down the military formation guarded by the Xiaoling Guard! This Xiaoling Guard... is not reliable. You might as well draw somewhere else in the name of the Nanjing Ministry of War, and select elite troops to guard it. If the foolish monarch shows his identity, we will only say that they are bandits. This is the bandits who want to deceive the city... The military town of Xiaoling Guard has been the most valued by the court for more than two hundred years. Over the past two hundred years, it has been repaired more than thirty times. The city wall is extremely high. The aisle of this city wall can be carried on horseback, and there is also a urn city. A large number of hidden soldiers have been arranged. As long as we gather all the elite troops, guard it here, and guard it for ten days and half a month, they will naturally collapse without fighting. I only asked the last question... Do you want to die or ask for life?"
When they said this, everyone naturally understood everything.
Finally someone echoed: "I will die now, and I will die if I make a big plan. Why not eliminate the foolish monarch and return me to pacify the world!"
Everyone figured out their own interests and became decisive.
Once such things involve one's own wealth and life, even though these people are weak and ruthless, they will be different.
Someone sneered: "This Xiaolingwei is nothing more than Hulao Pass in Nanjing City. It's not bad. If the tyrant ruler does not occupy the right time, place, and people, there will be insufficient food and grass. At this time, it is like the end of a powerful crossbow. With the military town of Xiaolingwei, they will not be able to make any progress!"
"The tyrant lord wants me to die, so I will teach him that he will not be buried in death. I am so happy in the south of the Yangtze River. Countless people live and work in peace. How can countless rivers and mountains be poisoned by this tyrant lord again? The tyrant is defeated only today!"
After hearing the encouragement, everyone seemed to feel that the chance of winning this time was great, and the advantage was on me, so they smiled; "I would like to become a monk and two hundred monks..."
"I……"
…………
When Emperor Tianqi saw the military town of Xiaoling... he wrapped his cloak on his body, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
When Emperor Taizu Gao chose his tomb, he wanted to follow the example of Emperor Gaozu of Han. When building the tomb, he specially chose the place that is most easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the same time, he set up a military town. On the surface, it was to protect the tomb, but in fact it was to protect the city of Nanjing, and to add a barrier for his descendants.
The terrain of this place is not an exaggeration to say that one man is a pass and ten thousand men cannot open it. After this, it is Nanjing City.
At this time... the corner towers and thick city walls stood in front of him, but they blocked the path of Emperor Apocalypse.
Emperor Tianqi never expected that what was blocking him now was the original layout of Emperor Taizu Gao.
And at this time... the Donglin Army finally stopped.
Zhang Jingyi has begun to arrange artillery positions.
Eighty new cannons... are being nervously assembled.

After sleeping for a day, my condition has been cured, so... I will resume updates tomorrow, and the tiger will update later, but it will be relatively late. Everyone doesn’t have to wait. I can watch it when I get up tomorrow. Thank you for your tolerance and understanding in the past few days.
Chapter completed!
