Zhu Niu's two towns of Yangtze River Navy joined forces with the river waterproofing division led by Huang Fei. There were as many as three or four thousand boats of all sizes and boats, which were downstream, and could really cover the entire section of the river.

When the boat passed through the three mountains, Huang Ming, who was stationed by Huang Degong, was taken to Huang Fei's boat.

Since Huang Degong and Huang Fei recognized Zhu Mai, the governor, his previous defensive arrangements against the enemies in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River naturally had no effect.

After the boat passed Wuhu, he took over the rear army led by Weng Zhiqi under Huang Degong, who was stationed here, and some of the troops left by Huang Fei in Wuhu.

Because time is tight, Huang Ming, Weng Zhiqi and Huang Feiyu's troops can only be eliminated on the road...

On the imperial ship.

Huang Degong led Huang Ming and Weng Zhiqi met Zhu Mai.

These two, one is his clan brother, the other is his wife and brother-in-law, and Xu Chong, who comes from his mother's clan, are all people he trusts completely in the army.

He led the two to meet him this time, one because Zhu Mai needed to hire people, and the other was that he wanted the two relatives to be valued by Zhu Mai.

"After the end, Huang Ming/Weng Zhiqi will meet the governor!"

"Flat."

"Thank you, the State Council."

After the two stood up with Huang Degong, Zhu Ma looked at them without saying a word.

I saw Huang Ming and Weng Zhiqi both looked in their thirties. Huang Ming’s appearance was slightly similar to Huang Degong, and his figure was relatively thick, but Weng Zhiqi looked and had a temperament quite like a scholar.

On the other side, Hao Guangming said through Bluetooth headphones: "According to the historical materials we have seen, Huang Degong suddenly died. Among the three people he trusted completely, Xu Chong did not record it. I think he should have died on the spot.

Weng Zhiqi died after she jumped into the water, while Huang Ming, along with Tian Xiong and the other two, captured Zhu Yousong and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

If you choose someone to cooperate with Hong Niang to block Nanjing City, Weng Zhiqi should be more suitable.

According to Huang Degong, although Weng Zhiqi's ability to lead the army is not as good as Huang Ming's, he should be more trustworthy than Huang Ming."

Zhu Meiyu nodded slightly and said, "Weng Zhiqi, after the election of your troops, he led a battalion of troops from the training camp. According to the new army system of the Ming Dynasty, he was reorganized into the 11th town of the border guards and was under the admiral of the Imperial Guards.

control.

When the navy arrives in Nanjing, you will lead your troops and horses to get off the ship with Hongniang and control the city of Nanjing."

"The last general will obey the order!" Weng Zhiqi responded first, but then asked with doubts: "Report to the supervisor, there are 200,000 troops from the capital in Nanjing. What if they obstruct us from controlling the city?"

Zhu Mei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have other arrangements to let Nanjing Jingying not obstruct you, and even assist you in controlling the city."

Hearing this, Weng Zhiqi and Huang Ming couldn't help but lit up his eyes and thought to himself: Could it be that Gao Qiqian, Zhao Zhilong, Zhu Guobi and others who control Nanjing Camp have defected to the princess?

Zhu Mai didn't mean to say this, so Weng Zhiqi didn't dare to ask, and immediately responded to "yes" and got off the imperial ship.

Then there was a high-level military conference.

The difference is that this time the Hongniang and Liu Wenxiu came to the Imperial Boat, and only Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan participated through the walkie-talkie.

"Let's talk about it. What do you think of the law of controlling Nanjing mentioned by the prince-consort before?"

Huang Degong was not surprised when he heard Zhu Ma's words mention the mysterious prince-consort.

As he has contacted Zhu Mai more in recent days, he naturally knows more.

For example, as early as the capital, the late emperor betrothed the princess to the princess who was "later generation".

Although the princess repeatedly explained that "later life" was a world that was hundreds of years later, no matter how she heard it, Huang Degong felt that "later life" was more like the rumored fairy world.

In this way, the prince-consort is likely to be an "immortal".

After hearing Zhu Ma's question, Huang Degong said: "I think the son-in-law's proposal is very good. No matter which one it is, he can easily control Nanjing."

Hong Niangzi said: "I think it's safer to send a contingent into the palace to control King Fu.

If someone is sent to contact Ma Shiying, if he is not smart enough, does not want to respect the state of ruling and makes trouble, it will not be so easy for us to control Nanjing City."

Hearing this, everyone was slightly silent.

Although Zhu Mai decided to go to Jiangbei to fight against the Qing Dynasty first, then take over the Qing army before entering Nanjing, he had to control Nanjing before going to Jiangbei - at least he had to block Nanjing and prevent Zhu Yousong from escaping.

Otherwise, it would be disgusting to let Zhu Yousong and his small court flee to other places and cause a "rebellion of Princess Pingkunxing" when Zhu Ye was fighting with the Qing army.

However, the situation in Jiangbei is urgent, and Zhu Mashi really cannot waste too much time and troops in Nanjing, so it is necessary to control Nanjing quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.

In response to this situation, Hao Guangming gave two solutions.

Plan 1: Send people to sneak into Nanjing City to contact Ma Shiying, so that Ma Shiying knew that Zhu Ma’s army was unstoppable, and that Chongzhen’s will was in hand, so he mastered the great power of the famous.

Judging from Ma Shiying's performance in history, he is still very good at answering multiple-choice questions in politics, and there is a high probability that he will abandon Zhu Yousong and join Zhu Mai.

However, people's hearts are elusive. Who knows whether Ma Shiying will be "loyal" Zhu Yousong?

Plan 2: Send a contingent to sneak into Nanjing City, and under the leadership of Lu Jiude, directly enter the palace and control Zhu Yousong.

This plan is more dangerous when implemented - although historically, Zhu Yousong's people were very rubbish, the number of contingents sent in would definitely not be large, and he would likely fall into the city after the failure.

In addition, if the task force only controls Zhu Yousong, there will be some ministers who are slapping and support other Zhu Ming vassal kings and the royal family will be the new emperor.

Therefore, in the view of Zeng Ying and others, although Hao Guangming's two plans are good, they are not perfect.

"In fact, we can implement two plans at the same time." A moment later, Hao Guangming made a sound through Bluetooth headsets, "While sending an envoy to contact Ma Shiying, he also sent a contingent to Nanjing City.

If the messenger cannot negotiate with Ma Shiying, he will send a signal or message to let the contingent enter the palace to control Zhu Yousong.

Of course, if Ma Shiying is willing to defect to you, things will be easier.

Ma Shiying can cooperate with the task force to control Zhu Yousong, and then hand over the Nanjing city defense to the army led by Hong Niangzi, so that he can take Nanjing without any effort."

After hearing this, Zhu Mai immediately felt that this was the safest way, so she immediately told Hong Niangzi, Zeng Ying and others to know about it.

Several people could not think of a better solution, so they agreed with this proposal.

The key figures in Plan 2, Lu Jiude and Zhu Mai were summoned after conquering Huang Degong.

Speaking of which, Lu Jiude had been a eunuch in the Beijing Palace for many years, and was actually more familiar with Zhu Mai when he was a child than Huang Degong. He confirmed Zhu Mai's identity as soon as he met.

Although Lu Jiude was one of the important figures in supporting Zhu Yousong as the emperor, during this period, his position as an admiral in the Nanjing court was stolen by Gao Qiqian and he became a eunuch who specialized in running errands and preached orders.

Therefore, after seeing Chongzhen's will and the video of the edict, Lu Jiude decisively became loyal to Zhu Mai.

Although Lu Jiude lost power, he was still the top eunuch in the Nanjing court. He led a contingent into the palace to arrest Zhu Yousong, and he was sure to control Zhu Yousong.

As for the contingent members, they all chose from the Suzaku Camp.

It is easier to enter the city if a woman is a woman.

Secondly, the equipment of Zhuque Camp is very suitable for being a contingent, and Zhu Mei doesn't need to prepare anything else for them.

At the end of the military discussion, the envoy who communicated to surrender Ma Shiying chose.

Finally, at Huang Degong's suggestion, Zhu Ma chose Weng Zhiqi.

Weng Zhiqi is Huang Degong's wife and brother-in-law, and has met Ma Shiying many times. He said that Huang Degong and Huang Fei had defected to Zhu Ma Shiying, so Ma Shiying would never doubt it.

In addition, Weng Zhiqi was originally a scholar and barely considered a literati, so it should be easier to convince Ma Shiying.

···

April 11, the 18th year of Chongzhen.

The Qing army's Eastern Route Army, led by Prince Yu Duoduo, divided into two groups, one from Guide Prefecture, Henan to Bozhou, Fengyang Prefecture, and the other from Shandong to Xuzhou.

Huang Degong, who led his troops in Wuhu and Digang, and Huang Fei defected to Zhu Mai.

All the people in Nanjing still don’t know anything about these things and are still in a deformed and prosperous society.

The high-ranking officials and nobles at the top ranks and dance to peace, and they live in drunkenness and dream to die, while the people at the bottom are in a daze and have a hard time.

No one noticed that the ships that were parked at the dock from the upper reaches of the river were only different. No one noticed that the people walking out of it were special.

It was not until another boat stopped and a tall and sturdy woman with thick makeup got off the boat, which attracted the attention of some idle people on the dock.

"Hiss, this woman is too strong, right? There is actually scar on her face. She must be a female yaksha."

"Speak quietly, didn't you see her glaring at us? This look is too fierce. Could it be that the girl mountain king who has killed anyone?"

"I don't know why this kind of woman comes to the capital."

"Maybe it was the husband-seeking."

"Then her husband is going to be in trouble..."

Hearing this, Hu Niu couldn't help but walk over and snort heavily.
