Chapter 921
At the top of Nanjing, Zhu Youlang was nervously forced to inspect the city wall. The Zhao army outside the city did not fire.
This made Zhu Youlang feel a little relieved and understood in his heart that this was the Regent, and he saw him at the top of the city.
Compared to the Regent, who never forced him to do things, Zhu Youlang felt so angry that Zhu Yihai, who forced him to go up to patrol the city.
Not all emperors have the courage to lead the army in person. Most emperors often respond first when facing the enemy's downfall.
At this time, when Zhu Ming's soldiers on the city saw the emperor inspecting, they stood up straight and their morale recovered slightly.
After all, many of the soldiers gathered here, except for money and achievements, have loyalty to the Zhu Ming royal family.
The soldiers guarded Nanjing to protect the Zhu family's country and fight against the traitor Cao Cao, not the traitor Zhao Ming.
Under the influence of orthodox thinking, many people believe that they are carrying out a just cause.
Therefore, when everyone saw the Emperor inspecting the city, they were greatly encouraged.
"Your Majesty! The Supreme Emperor!" The soldiers knelt down on one knee and saluted Zhu Youlang and his group.
This made Zhu Yihai quite satisfied, and felt that he had taken a step forward and moved back to a game.
Zhu Yihai looked out of the city, and seemed to have a sigh of anger in his heart, and a hint of pride appeared on his face.
"Hmph, Zhao thief! I asked Zhu Youlang to go to the city. If you dare to fire, see how you can pretend to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty in front of the people of the world!" Zhu Yihai looked at the mountain outside the city. He felt that Zhao Ming must be standing on the top of the mountain, overlooking Nanjing City.
"Ultimate Emperor, can I go back to the palace?" Zhu Youlang walked for a while and asked again.
Zhu Yihai said with a serious expression: "The soldiers on the city fought to protect Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty should learn from the Zhenzong of Song and inspire the morale of the soldiers to defeat the traitors!"
When Zhu Youlang heard the words, he had to continue walking forward. At this moment, on the Lime Mountain and on the Zhong Mountain outside Nanjing, there was a sudden loud shout of thunder and thunder, "Your Majesty! The Regent is here to rescue you!"
Zhao Ming stood on the top of Lime Mountain, and behind him, Jin Shenghuan gestured. Nearly ten thousand Ming soldiers stood on the top of the mountain, yelling at the top of the city with their waists.
Ten thousand people shouted together, the sounds shook the sky and moved the soul.
At this time, a cavalryman rushed to the foot of Zhongshan and hurried into the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. He ordered the Ming generals who had just occupied Zhongshan and Xiaoling Mausoleum. "The Regent has an order. Please see the flags on Lime Mountain and cooperate with the Regent."
For a moment, soldiers gathered on Zhongshan. Wang Chao first stood at the top of the mountain, holding a thousand-mile mirror, observing the Lime Mountain, and seeing the waving flag.
Wang Chao waved his hand immediately and shouted: "Call it!"
The Ming army outside the city, under the command of the flag, shouted at the same moment, and shouted thunderously.
"Your Majesty, the Regent comes to rescue you!"
"Recover Nanjing and rescue the Holy Lord!"
The sounds outside the city were wave after wave, and the Ming troops from various departments made deafening shouts like a game.
Zhao Ming has always encouraged all troops in the army to compete with each other. The habits have long formed between the armies, and the voices are higher than the other, like a party.
On the top of the city, Zhu Youlang was stunned and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Zhu Youlang turned around and looked outside the city. The flags were waving, and the Zhao army soldiers who were crying with shocking shouts.
"Regent, loyal minister!" Zhu Youlang shouted in his heart, bursting into tears.
The defenders at the top of the city were talking about it. They were the guardians of the Ming Emperor, so why did the thieves outside the city shout like this?
Everyone was watching, Emperor Yongli, who was moved to tears, became even more confused.
Seeing this, Zhu Yihai's face changed and he couldn't help but be furious. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ming did this.
At this time, Zhu Yihai saw Zhu Youlang with tears in his face, and suddenly became angry and couldn't help but shout, "Why are you crying?"
Zhu Youlang hurriedly wiped his tears and explained: "The eyes have entered the sand."
After such a fuss, the guards in the city were shaken. Zhu Yihai had to let someone withdraw the emperor's ceremonial guard and asked Zhu Youlang to quickly return to the palace so that the soldiers would not be moved to cry when they saw him being moved by the thieves outside the city.
As soon as the emperor retreated, Zhu Youlang got off the city. Zhao Ming waved his hand and waved the flag behind him. Tens of thousands of troops stopped shouting immediately.
Zhao Ming then led everyone down the mountain, joined the army, Zhang Jiayu walked to the end, and whispered to the artillery team: "As long as the emperor's ceremonial guard is not present, you can fire the artillery, and don't ask the Regent for instructions."
The artillery team commander was a fool, "What should I do if the regent is blamed for the fire without authorization?"
Seeing this, Zhang Jiayu had to swear, "How could the Regent blame you? Just fire the fire. If something happens, I will take care of you."
Zhao Ming and his group went down to the Lime Mountain. Suddenly, a cannon sound came from the top of the mountain, and a cannonball hit the head of Nanjing, splashing a piece of gravel and dust on the city wall.
On the east city of Nanjing, there was a sudden burst of exclamation.
Outside the Ji Gate of Nantong, Nanjing, a large number of Nanjing people were stranded between the city gate and the trenches of the Ming army, and they were unable to advance or retreat.
Zhu Yihai opened the city of Nanjing, let the people out of the city, and then closed the city gate. The Ming soldiers who blocked the city gate did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so they could only send people to report and block the people between the trenches and the city gate.
At this time, Zhao Ming, who had left Lime Mountain, stood in the camp and looked at the camp, crowded with Nanjing people.
"Your Highness, most of the food in the city was burned down. Zhu Yihai drove the people out of Nanjing to reduce food consumption and increase our burden." Zhang Jiayu said in a deep voice.
Zhao Ming nodded slightly: "In this way, the food in the city may be able to support it for a long time. If Wu Sangui does not send troops, it will not matter at that time, but it will be a longer siege. However, now that the Zhou army is attacking Xuzhou, Gu intends to drag the Zhou army to Xuzhou, but he still needs to solve Nanjing as soon as possible so that he can calmly dispatch it and fight Wu Sangui."
"Your Highness, this is simple. Isn't it enough to prevent the people from leaving the city?" Jin Shenghuan said.
Zhao Ming ignored Jin Shenghuan and asked, "What excuse Zhu Yihai used to let the people out of the city."
Zhang Jiayu said: "Just just arrived in the city, Zhu Yihai was about to attack the city on the grounds that his highness was about to invade the city. In order to avoid accidentally hurting the people, the people were allowed to escape the war."
Zhao Ming asked: "Where is the letter?"
Zhang's Yumang asked someone to get a letter, Zhao Ming took it and opened it to watch it. In the letter, Zhu Yihai pretended to be kind and righteous, and claimed that the war had nothing to do with the people, so he asked Zhao Ming to allow the people to leave the city.
"Zhu Yihai is a problem for the Lone King. If the Lone King allows the people to leave the city, Zhu Yihai can reduce the consumption of food in Nanjing. If the Lone King does not allow the people to leave the city, he will inevitably be attacked and ignore the lives and death of the people!" Zhao Ming closed the letter and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Yihai embezzled the people's money and food, and wanted to be a good person. It's so beautiful!"
Zhang Jiayu said: "What should you do when your Highness is going to do?"
"First use the detailed investigation to slow down the speed of people leaving the city, and then shoot letters into the city, informing the people that they should bring food and money out of the city!" Zhao Ming had no good countermeasures at the moment, so he said, and called out: "Everyone, go back to the camp and discuss with the other person!"
