But catch-up is catch-up, that is, no matter how many enemies are destroyed, they will be losers if they are not completed.
Before looking at a face of serious Wang Feng, everyone secretly pinched the head of the cavalry regiment, fearing that the head of the cavalry regiment would be punished.
To everyone’s relief, Wang Feng’s serious face didn’t last long and disappeared
Then he said in a calm tone as much as possible, "Don’t play the cavalry well … although it’s not finished, this battle can definitely be called a victory … Don’t worry, whether it’s a general or a report, it won’t kill thousands of imperial army soldiers and make me feel chilling …"
Chapter nine hundred and thirty-four Move the capital again
As a large number of routed troops returned to Nanjing, the status of the first army of Tiger and Leopard Army was completely exposed to the court.
In this case, there would be no need for the First Army to continue to hide.
Three infantry divisions surrounded Nanjing from three directions: southeast and west.
In the loss of more than half of the cavalry division, Wang Feng’s only mobile unit is ready to deal with possible emergencies on the battlefield
At this moment, both the ordinary Nanjing city and the court etiquette are in a panic because of the arrival of the first army
Of course, this panic factor is not only the first army surrounded Nanjing, but also the Nanjing garrison, which has suffered heavy losses
A few days ago, there were 50 thousand people, and the first army of Nanjing Garrison Tiger and Leopard Army was constantly consuming, leaving less than 20 thousand people, which was a heavy loss
Almost everyone in the imperial court saw that it was almost impossible for the 20,000 troops to defend Nuoda Nanjing.
The only thing that makes them feel lucky is that the first army of the Tiger and Leopard Army outside Nanjing suddenly appeared without a horse to attack the southern capital, which gave the court a lot of time to deal with it.
However, the main forces of the new army are all guarding the situation along the Yangtze River. Even if the court is given more time, it is impossible for the court to spread beans and increase the garrison in Nanjing.
Since the first army really appeared outside Nanjing, the court was in a quarrel for two consecutive days, just like the vegetable market. More importantly, after two consecutive days of quarreling, dozens of dignitaries including Emperor Chongzhen’s court failed to come up with ways to increase the garrison in Nanjing …
A new day has begun, looking at dozens of etiquette who are noisy but have no results.
Emperor Chongzhen finally got angry, clenched his fist and smashed the dragon case, and scolded, "Shut up … I’m not dead yet. I’m not dead yet. It’s a scandal to make noise in front of me all day long …"
"I if the solution is not to let you come to the hall to quarrel …"
After the roar of Emperor Chongzhen, dozens of red-faced ministers all knelt down to plead guilty to Emperor Chongzhen as if they had discussed it.
In the face of this situation, Chongzhen was finally relieved by his anger …
A pair of bright eyes quickly swept through the ministers and then stayed directly at the Ministry of War.
Then, with the last glimmer of hope, he asked, "Love, you are the Ministry of War, which is still in charge of all the imperial troops … Looking at several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, there are really no troops to reinforce Nanjing …"
For this problem, the Ministry of War has affirmed without thinking, "The emperor has already said that there will be 60,000 new imperial armies of encirclement and suppression guerrillas in Nanjing … but we have lost the specific news of the new imperial army because of the blockade of the tiger and leopard army …"
"However, according to the news from the Royal Guards, 60,000 new troops are being heavily attacked by butch army guerrillas … it is obvious that the arrival of the first army of butch army has brought a lot of equipment to these guerrillas, which has greatly increased the guerrilla strength and has the strength to compete with our 60,000 new troops … so even if we have a way to unite the 60,000 new troops, they have no way to reinforce Nanjing …"
After getting this answer, Chongzhen was not discouraged and continued to ask, "In this case, I want to know how long you can keep Nanjing with only twenty thousand troops without reinforcements …"
"This ….." Ministry of War’s face just reveals a hesitant expression.
But Chongzhen has a pair of clever eyes, and even if he hesitates again, he has to answer, "I don’t know how long it will last … but I’m sure there’s a way for the butch army to get into Nanjing, that is, to step on the body of the minister and come in … I live as an adult or die as GREAT GHOST …"
The words of the Ministry of War are very exciting, but this environment has not aroused many people’s resonance at this time.
When Chongzhen’s face became more and more disappointed, cabinet records spoke, and when he spoke, it was the first time …
"The emperor made a big future, and the old minister pleaded with him to give up Nanjing and move the capital to the southwest …"
"It’s difficult for the Tiger and Leopard Army in the southwest to attack … only by the southwest imperial court can we win a moment of peace and accumulate strength to counterattack Jiangnan and defeat the Tiger and Leopard Army …"
"Move the capital …" This two word is an eternal pain for Chongzhen.
A few years ago, it was because he was forced to move the capital to Nanjing that the Tiger and Leopard Army had the power to compete with the Great Dynasty, and at the same time, it made the Great Dynasty and its prestige and influence disappear completely from the north of the Yangtze River
To a certain extent, it can be said that his original decision to move the capital was the root cause of his desperate situation and his further subjugation of the country.
The face of moving the capital may bring all kinds of disadvantages to oneself. The sullen Emperor Chongzhen is about to refuse.
But he was silent before the refusal was uttered.
Because of his present situation, there is really no other way but to move the capital.
After some hesitation, the gloomy face of Chongzhen has been covered by despair …
On the cabinet records, a face of nai said, "Aiqing, you know, once the court moves to the southwest, it will lose its orthodoxy and become a small court with a partial corner … Now we have the whole south of the Yangtze River, which is not an opponent of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and the southwest is even more sparsely populated …"
Cabinet records know this situation, of course, but cabinet records received a word but directly said chongzhen speechless …
"The emperor is right. After moving the capital to the southwest, the butch army will replace the emperor as a new national orthodoxy … but there is still hope that the emperor who moved the capital to the southwest can live to the big dynasty and less … If he doesn’t move the capital to Nanjing, the emperor will be left with an ending of national subjugation …"
Cabinet and records of this sentence can be said that I didn’t even give Chongzhen this sentence.
But even so, no one in Nuoda Chaotang refuted it.
At this moment, the Ministry of War suddenly broke the silence of the court and asked the cabinet records, "Records of adults … it’s good to move the capital … but Nanjing is surrounded by butch and leopard regiments. I don’t know how records of adults let the emperor leave Nanjing …"
The Ministry of War has just finished talking, and his minister is like suddenly discovering a hungry wolf, and at the same time, he will focus on the cabinet and records.
Because the emperor can be surrounded by tigers and leopards, it means that they can also go out …
And these ministers in the hall will not hesitate to choose to continue to live before they are loyal to the life and death of the dynasty … "
Chapter nine hundred and thirty-five The golden cicada takes off its shell
See cabinet and records of face slowly reveal difficult expression emperor chongzhen directly interrupted "well, you love qing, don’t be difficult and records of adults … without my permission and records of adults is also won’t tell you a word …"
"Since you want to know the answer, I will tell you today …"
"Since Emperor Mao made Nanjing its capital in those years, Nanjing has built a secret passage from the palace to the outside of the city … The royal family can go out of the city through the secret passage when it encounters an urgent crisis …"
"Because of this secret passage to the continuation of the royal bloodline, no matter who is the emperor, there are three people who know this secret passage … one is me, the other is the third person who has been a cabinet for three years, and the third person is my queen …"
"I want to be willing to leave Nanjing at any time …"
After hearing Chongzhen’s answer, many of the dozens of ministers’ eyes lit up.
The appearance of secret passages directly makes them feel that they are suddenly grasping at a lifeline in despair for the rest of their lives.
At this time, it is as if they had agreed to live. At the same time, they knelt before Chongzhen and hoped that Emperor Chongzhen could lurk in the southwest. Of course, there is still a word in their hearts that the emperor should not forget to take himself and his family with him when he leaves Nanjing, which may be flooded by war at any time.
It’s hard to say a word … Even if Chongzhen is persuaded by dozens of ministers in front of him, he can agree.
So dozens of ministers, except cabinet records and other ministers, all showed a heartfelt smile on their faces.
At this moment, the cabinet records suddenly said, "The emperor is lurking in the southwest, and I agree with him … but I want to wake up the emperor and your adults. Once the emperor leaves Nanjing, the whole Yangtze River defense line is likely to collapse …"
A word has just been finished, and the Ministry of War is still on the interface. "Emperor Chen also has the same concern … More than 100,000 new army soldiers in the Yangtze River defense line can beat back the butch army’s attacks again and again. In addition to adequate equipment and materials, a big factor is that you, the emperor, Nanjing … want you to have the confidence to continue to defend Nanjing one day …"
"I can’t imagine the emperor leaving Nanjing to abandon the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers regardless of the news. Will it directly cause the Yangtze River defense line to collapse directly …"
"When the time comes, there will be no cover of more than 100,000 soldiers in the Yangtze River defense line. Even if the emperor leaves Nanjing, he can’t escape the butch army …"
"Because it will take ten days to get to the southwest from here … if it is an ordinary road, it will never catch up with the southwest when it is not half a month …"
After listening to the explanation, everyone just relaxed and their faces became nervous again.
Emperor Chongzhen, sitting in a dragon chair, asked in a bad tone …
