Chapter 340: Just go ahead and have a good fight with Zhang Zhun!
Han Zanzhou frowned and said, "Oh, such a thing... the Jinwu defender's cannon fell into Zhang Zhun's hands. If the emperor asks about it, this Jinwu defender really needs to be rectified. Huining Hou is old and strong, why should he leave it to Huining Hou for rectification?"
Although the following words were not said, the meaning was very clear. Zhao Zhufeng must be killed, and the command of the Jinwu guard must be handed over. The relationship between Sun Weicheng and Han Zanzhou of Huaining Hou has the best relationship, so of course he has to put the benefits on the Huaining Hou. If there is a advantage, he will definitely be a fool! Now is not the time to push me and give in! The Jinwu guard has been free, and whoever catches him will be whoever is!
At the same time, Sun Weicheng, the Marquis of Huaining, turned out to be only one guard's troops. After adding one guard, the status of the two kings will not be threatened. The two kings have the soldiers of the three guards in their hands. I believe that both kings agree to this suggestion. Otherwise, if the Jinwu guard falls into the hands of others, the original balance will be broken.
Sure enough, Xu Yunjue said briefly: "I agree with the head of Huaining Hou in charge of Jinwu's defender."
Zhu Guobi also said concisely: "I agree too!"
Ma Shiying nodded and said, "Kill the chicken to warn the monkey, to serve as a warning to others, let's not be an example! This army also agrees that the Marquis of Huaining will be in charge of the Jinwu guards! As for the Jinwu forward, please ask Xin Chengbo to rectify himself and not repeat the same mistakes!"
Most people agreed with Han Zanzhou's suggestion, and Zhang Yixian was not easy to refute. Although his relationship with Huaininghou was not very good, it was not very bad. It was no big deal to give him a guard's army. Just make a favor. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, Lao Sun and Jinwu guards, you will be in charge! You must make some arrangements! As for Jinwu avant-garde, Lao Zhao, you must make arrangements personally! Otherwise, Beijing will be instructed!"
In order to preserve the Jinwu vanguard, Zhao Zhilong even used his own son to attack the Jinwu vanguard. It was almost the same. If Zhao Lanfeng was killed and the Jinwu vanguard commander, he would have to stop thinking about it for the time being. Zhao Zhilong was ruthless, a Jinwu vanguard was more important than his own son.
Speaking of this, Zhao Zhufeng's fate is destined. It was Zhao Zhilong's expectation that he had saved his eldest son, saved the Jinwu vanguard, and sent a son and a Jinwu vanguard. Therefore, Zhao Zhilong had no objection. Of course, he could not watch his son beheaded, so he left early. Afterwards, Zhao Zhufeng was found to be the true self and was taken out by soldiers guarding the eunuch's yamen and beheaded on the spot.
Seeing the bloody heads being sent up, everyone present couldn't help but feel trembling all over. Zhang Yixian and Ma Shiying were even more in a heavy mood. Now, they were killing Zhao Zhufeng's head. I don't know when their own heads would be cut down by others? They were shuddered when the Tiqi of the Jinyiwei might appear in Nanjing City.
"What should I do now?" Zhang Yixian asked Ma Shiying.
"Standing on the support." Ma Shiying answered briefly.
"What do you think?" Zhang Yixian asked other ministers and powerful officials again.
"Stay in a position to wait for assistance." Xu Yunjue, Duke of Wei, also agreed.
Other heroes and powerful officials had no better suggestions and agreed to stick to the support.
In fact, the only way to defend the city is the most stable. Zhang Zhun's troops, no matter how powerful they are, may not be able to attack the city. According to information, Zhang Zhun did not carry large siege weapons. The city walls of Nanjing City are nearly ten feet high and the thinnest places are three feet wide. All the city gates are reinforced, and they are definitely not comparable to the small outer Jinchuan Gate. Without large siege weapons, it is impossible to conquer Nanjing City.
What's more, the garrison troops in Nanjing City, in addition to the two guards, had twenty-four guards. Although each guard actually had only more than 1,000 people, all of them had tens of thousands of troops. Zhang Zhun's troops could not be many. The defenders of tens of thousands could rely on the tactics of the sea of people to drown Zhang Zhun's people in the crowd. What's more, everyone had just killed Zhao Zhufeng, and their heads were still bleeding. Everyone present was filled with awesomeness, so naturally they dared not neglect. As long as everyone supervised the battle seriously and guarded the death, they would not give Zhang Zhun the chance to break the city.
Of course, it is necessary to take practical actions to have soldiers actively fight and to take practical actions. Everyone here is very clear about this. Therefore, it is necessary to open the bank treasury, take out some of the silver and distribute it to the soldiers below to stimulate everyone's morale. Fortunately, Nanjing City has always been rich and has a large income. Tens of thousands of defenders, each defender paid three or four taels of silver, or more than tens of thousands of taels of silver, which can be achieved. Of course, for the eunuch Zhang Yixian, the tens of thousands of taels of silver was heartbroken. However, for his own life, there was no way.
In addition to issuing silver, all soldiers also have to distribute more equipment. All the equipment in the ten warehouses must be distributed. In the past, for safety reasons, there were many weapons and equipment locked in the ten warehouses. Now, they must be distributed as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Zhang Zhun really entered the city, all these weapons and equipment would be stolen by him. All the cannons of each guard must be carried onto the city wall and can be fired at any time.
In addition to the guards, they should also actively mobilize the people and take the method of wartime marshalling to control them. This is done, on the one hand, to strengthen their own protective power, and on the other hand, to monitor these young and strong people, so as not to join the riots under the instigation of those who are interested. If Zhang Zhun attacked the city outside and riots broke out in the city at the same time, Nanjing City would really be unable to defend it.
"Everyone, the life and death of Nanjing City is here."
Ma Shiying said with a cold expression, and then quickly distributed the defenses of each guard.
According to the rules set in the past, each guard has its own guards, and they are just like this. The ministers and powerful officials present were originally going to laugh at Zhao Zhilong, but now they dare not neglect them. If Zhang Zhun attacked the city, all of them would not be able to get it. Therefore, this was the most obedient to Ma Shiying in the past few decades. They all expressed that they would do it. Ma Shiying finally felt the power and power of the Minister of War. All of this was thanks to Zhang Zhun, which really made Ma Shiying laugh and cry.
After the meeting, all the ministers and powerful officials went back one after another, actively mobilized their own guards and quickly deployed defense. Those who distributed silver, those who distributed weapons, those who distributed weapons, those who organized young and strong organizations, and those who transported cannons. Even many ministers and powerful officials even pulled out all their private servants. They did not dare to be careless. If something went wrong with their protective area, if Zhao Zhufeng was placed at the head level, Zhang Yixian and Ma Shiying would definitely kill people without hesitation.
Zhang Zhun came from the north, and the key points of Nanjing City's defense were of course in the north. The key points of defense in the north of the city were of course Lion Mountain. As long as the cannons set up in Lion Mountain could still play a role, Zhang Zhun could not directly attack Nanjing City. Therefore, Ma Shiying mobilized the forces of the two guards in the direction of Lion Mountain. At the same time, he ordered more than 60 cannons set up on Lion Mountain to bombard Zhang Zhu's troops that could arrive at any time.
As the defense procedures unfolded, the streets and alleys of Nanjing City were mobilized everywhere. The guards, who had not fought for decades, were driven out by their respective commanders, picked up weapons, went up to the city walls, and defended them strictly. For a time, almost every military camp was in chaos. Many soldiers didn't know what was going on. Some even thought that the rebels from Shaanxi were coming, and they were shocked.
In fact, the officers themselves were also worried. They didn't know the exact situation, they only knew that if Nanjing City had fought a big battle. They had never participated in actual combat, and they would be surprised if they were not afraid of such a situation. But there was no way, and there was strict orders from the superiors, they could only bite the bullet and take it forward. Even the son of Xin Chengbo and the commander of the Jinwu guard were cut off. Who dared to neglect?
For a moment, the entire Nanjing city was filled with wind and rumors.
Rumors are like wings, spreading everything. Most of the rumors are saying that the rebels in Shaanxi have already come to the bottom of Nanjing City. The rumors are spreading in a straightforward way, and where the rebels come from and where they spend the Yangtze River are all depicted in a very good way. It is hard to believe it. No wonder, ordinary citizens in Nanjing City do not know Zhang Zhun's existence at all. The battle took place in the north of Nanjing City and on the river bank. Of course, they thought that the rebels from the north were heading south.
With the rebel army as the background, the spread of rumors is naturally very fast. The civil unrest in Shaanxi has lasted for five or six years. The people in Jiangnan all knew that many places in the north were fighting, and the war has spread to Henan recently. From Henan to Jiangnan, the distance is actually very close. Therefore, it is entirely possible for the rebel army to come to Nanjing City.
Zhang Zhun actually only brought more than 300 people, but among the rumors, there were thousands, or even tens of thousands. There were only two ships, but among the rumors, there were dozens of large ships. Some rumors said that Zhang Zhun's fleet had completely blocked the Yangtze River channel. From the Anqing Mansion in the upper reaches to the Zhenjiang Mansion in the lower reaches, all of them were Zhang Zhun's troops.
"The whole city is martial law!"
"The whole city is martial law!"
"The whole city is martial law!"
Hearing these rumors, Zhang Yixian shouted hurriedly.
Ma Shiying wanted to speak but stopped, and finally agreed.
Everyone knows that martial law in the whole city is equivalent to announcing the state of war. The martial law in the whole city is even more serious than the previous closed gates. Martial law in the whole city means that all unrelated personnel must stay at home and are not allowed to go to the streets. It means that all commercial activities and other activities must be stopped. There is no light at night. Any two people whispering together may be arrested as a meticulous act.
Zhou Yanyu said excitedly.
"You want to attack Nanjing City?"
Zhang Zhun looked at Zhou Yanyu with a smile.
"Ah...we won't fight Nanjing City?"
Zhou Yanyu was stunned.
"Xiao Zhou, do you think we have the ability to fight Nanjing City now?"
Zhang Zhun said gently.
"this……"
Zhou Zhengyu touched the back of his head and didn't know how to answer.
Zhang Zhun laughed.
Attack Nanjing City?
To be honest, Zhang Zhun really wants it.
Unfortunately, I don’t have that ability for the time being!
Fortunately, Zhou Yanyu actually requested the main attack mission. He had only less than 300 troops and had no heavy weapons. What should he use to attack Nanjing City? The ten cannons he was counting on? Others had at least 100 cannons in Nanjing City. There were only such a few people, and they had no mass base in the city. Even if they were lucky enough to enter the city, they could not control the situation in the city. Zhang Zhun was still very self-aware of this.
Zhang Youcai said regretfully: "Sir, let's not fight Nanjing City?"
Zhang Zhun said angrily: "Do you think you can fight?"
Zhang Youcai looked at the towering city walls in Nanjing behind him, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said naively: "Maybe we can give it a try."
Zhang Zhun shook his head and said, "It's so risky. You're not taking your brothers' lives for your life!"
Zhang Youcai had no choice but to smile helplessly.
Their thoughts were relatively simple, and they thought that since the Ming army was driven into the city, it would be natural to launch an attack on the city! As for whether they could take over Nanjing City, it was not their consideration, but that was something Zhang Zhun was considering. When Zhang Zhun said he would beat him, they would beat him to death. When Zhang Zhun said he would not fight, they would not fight.
However, it seems that it is indeed a bit difficult to attack Nanjing City at this time. The number of people is too small. If less than 300 people can attack Nanjing City, the capital of the Ming Empire is too fragile. However, it would be a pity to look at Nanjing City with white eyes in front of here and not try it? What if God blesses them, they really have the chance to take Nanjing City?
Zhang Zhun said calmly: "We will take down Nanjing City sooner or later. But it's not now."
Zhou Yanyu immediately reacted and said anxiously: "Sir, I will be the main attack next time!"
Zhang Youcai also reacted and hurriedly said, "We are the main attacker!"
Zhang Zhun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't fight with you two. Nanjing City is so big, with more than a dozen city gates, and there can be several main attacks. From now on, you will all lead the attacks. However, the premise is that our siege troops are at least ten times that of now!"
