And at the same time.
The city of Nanjing, covered with heavy snow, was already in danger under the bombardment of artillery.
Huang Degong felt that he really couldn't hold on, so he had no choice but to ask Ma Shiying, the chief minister, and the emperor to ask them to hunt west.
However, even if he searched high and low, he could not see the two Ding Dian figures.
At this time, not only him, but the entire Nanjing court was also looking for these two people.
Ruan Dacheng, Ma Shiying's close associate, did not receive the slightest news. He was just as confused as others, with a face full of surprise.
"What? Your Majesty is missing?"
Qian Qianyi was shocked.
As a result, they couldn't even succeed Wen Tianxiang. Without the emperor, what are these civil servants and generals?
"Ma Shiying coerced His Majesty out of the city. He really deserves death!"
Wang Duo couldn't help but curse, he couldn't help it anymore.
Not only him, Ruan Dacheng was also scolding his mother in his heart.
Ma Shiying abandoned them and fled with Emperor Hongguang, which was a great crime. Before leaving, he had to hold the emperor in his hand, which was really abominable.
At this time, Zhao Zhilong, the leader of the Nanjing garrison and martial artist, could not help but turn pale and cursed angrily: "How can this thing that gives birth to a child without an asshole do this?"
The warriors had already discussed it and were ready to jointly "persuade" the emperor to surrender. After all, they had control of the Nanjing garrison. Wouldn't this be easy to do?
But now, the cooked duck has flown away even before the horoscope is written.
In this way, the only remaining feat of such great merit is to surrender the city. There is a huge difference between the two!
"I have told you before that Ma Shiying has always been working with treacherous ministers to trick the emperor into leaving the city. Can he still defend Nanjing?"
Zhao Zhilong looked at the crowd. Although he was cursing, he was raising the topic intentionally or unintentionally.
Although Wu Xun has the military power, it is these literati who can speak.
"Nanjing can no longer hold on."
Ruan Dacheng shook his head. At this point, he could only stand with these people.
Surviving has become his goal.
Qian Qianyi and other Donglin Party members looked at him with disgust, but they had to nod.
This is a true statement.
"For today's plan, we still have to preserve our vitality for the Ming Dynasty."
Ruan Dacheng shook his head, shamelessly, and said seriously:
"In order to save a useful body and restore the Ming Dynasty, we can only surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty for the time being, regardless of honor and dignity."
"When the time comes, let's think about it according to the situation!"
These words made them look like a group of loyal people who endured humiliation and endured heavy burdens.
However, the words were rough and rational, and they were really comfortable to hear.
Even Qian Qianyi, Wang Duo and other Donglin Party members couldn't help but admire him at this time. No wonder Ma Shiying loves to use him.
Zhao Zhilong was overjoyed, clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Yes, we are enduring the humiliation and waiting for him again."
As he spoke, he rubbed his eyes and pretended to be helpless: "I have been favored by the emperor in this life, and I wanted to serve the country with my life, but His Majesty is nowhere to be seen, so I can only do this..."
This gesture is truly disgusting.
The civil servants have long seen clearly the frivolous nature of warriors and are well aware of it.
"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run!"
Qian Qianyi made the final decision.
The Donglin Party members naturally obeyed, and even Zhao Zhilong had to submit.
Ruan Dacheng's face became even more ugly.
As soon as it was over, the Donglin Party immediately gathered Qian Zhai and started a massive connection.
In their view, neither Wu Xun nor Ruan Dacheng is one of their own. How can they tolerate such an important moment?
Doesn’t that mean the credit is divided?
"Ruan Dacheng, the party ally Ma Shiying, is now like a lost dog, wagging his tail to pretend to be pitiful, ridiculous, ridiculous."
Cai Yichen shook his head and sneered.
"A dog that has lost its home should be killed."
Li Zhan agreed: "Searching for food in garbage dumps will cause wild animals to reappear. Failure to kill them will be very harmful!"
Hearing this, Qian Qianyi said calmly: "It's not appropriate to cause trouble now, so just let him go!"
"Yes, the most important thing now is how to protect the hundreds of thousands of people in Nanjing City."
Wang Duo looked pitiful and sighed: "For the sake of the people, what does our reputation mean?"
"A little stigma, that's all!"
Hearing this, everyone sitting there also sighed and couldn't help but echo.
A word from you, a word from me, it's like surrendering the city for the sake of the people of the world and having to do it.
These gentlemen are sacrificing their small self to fulfill the greater self.
"The specific charter still needs to be discussed in detail."
Qian Qianyi finally said seriously: "Whether it is Huang Degong or Wu Xun, we are the ones who have the final say on this matter, but in the end, we have to let them get some credit."
"Without their cooperation, it wouldn't be that easy."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They can only divide the interests. As for others, they can just wait and obey.
When Zhao Zhilong returned to his residence, a large circle of Nanjing ministers had gathered at home.
For example, Wei Guogong Xu Jiujue, Longping Marquis Zhang Gongri, Baoguo Gong Zhu Guobi, etc. are all honorable ministers who have lived in Nanjing for a long time.
Moreover, most of them were honorable ministers from the Hongwu period. They were far away from Nanjing, the center of power, and had long been in decay.
Of course, Yongle Xunchen is not much better.
"Uncle, how's the matter?"
Duke Xu Jiujue of Wei asked slightly eagerly.
"Those Donglin Party members said there was no rush."
Zhao Zhilong shook his head and said with a displeased face: "I guess he is thinking of eating alone again!"
"They dare?" Zhu Guobi roared angrily: "Nanjing is guarding tens of thousands of troops, but it is in our hands. Without us, they can't even open the city gate."
"What's the rush?" Zhao Zhilong said calmly: "They can't get rid of us."
"In these troubled times, military power is the most important thing. Even the Qing Dynasty, for the sake of tens of thousands of troops, must pay attention to us..."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The inheritance laid down by our ancestors cannot be sold at a good price.
At the same time, Huang Degong returned to the house with a tired look.
After several days of bombing, his ears were hurt from the shock, but the city wall built by Grandpa Taizu was strong, and it could barely handle it now.
As soon as we sat down, someone came to visit.
"What?"
After hearing the description, Huang Degong was shocked. He stood up and said angrily: "Your Majesty has left Nanjing City, why are you telling me now?"
The visitor is speechless and cannot say that the interests have just been divided!
So, he had to bite the bullet and said: "The imperial court is in a panic. Nanjing can no longer be defended. The cabinet discussed that in order to save the people of Nanjing, we can only surrender..."
"Surrender? Absolutely impossible!"
Huang Degong shook his head and said with a sinister look on his face: "Your Majesty is still here, how can you surrender? I'm sorry that it's difficult for me to do so."
After that, he thought for a moment and then sighed: "I am willing to lead the army to evacuate Nanjing City and go to Hezhou and Luzhou, and Nanjing City will be handed over to you."
The visitor had no choice but to go back and tell the truth.
