After the establishment of the Hongguang Imperial Court, there were actually only three governors of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Office who held military power, namely Zhao Zhilong, Zhu Guobi, and Liu Kongzhao, the governors of the Zhongfu, Zuofu, and Right Prefectures.

Of course, it was Gao Qiqian, the great eunuch, who actually supervised the military affairs of the Beijing camp.

Just like the original Beijing camp, several nobles led the troops, but the one who admired the camp was the eunuch Wang Dehua.

However, Liu Kongzhao was leading the "Navy Division" of the Beijing camp, and his actual power was separated from that of Zhao Zhilong and Zhu Guobi.

Therefore, Quan Zhixuan and Ma Shiying did not rush to summon Liu Kongzhao to the palace last night.

At this time, after listening to Quan Zhi's question, Ma Shiying said: "Liu Kongzhao and Wang Duo are mostly at their respective mansions, so naturally it is not as fast as Ji's brother coming from Wuying Palace."

Ruan Dajue had not figured out the situation at this time, and he believed that the situation in the palace was controlled by Ma Shiying, so he glared at Quan Zhixuan and asked: "Who are you? How dare you yell at Yuan Fu like this?"

In fact, Quan Zhixuan's tone of voice was not serious, but he couldn't bear Ruan Dayue to put a hat on him.

But his life and death, honor and disgrace are not affected by Ma Shiying, Ruan Dajue and other former officials of the Hongguang court, so naturally he will not care.

He said calmly: "I am Quan Zhixuan, a guerrilla in the first town of the Imperial Guard. I am also the envoy appointed by the prison country to liaise with Inspector Ma in Nanjing."

Ruan Dajue sneered after hearing this, "A mere guerrilla actually dares to defeat us in front of us? Not to mention Yuan Fu's identity, I am your top boss as the Minister of the Ministry of War!"

Hearing this, Quan Zhixuan couldn't help but look at Ruan Dayue like a fool.

Ma Shiying reminded him with an ugly face: "Brother Ji, please be careful. All the official positions we held before were pseudo-emperor appointments. How can we use this to make an argument?"

After hearing this, Ruan Dajue couldn't help looking at Ma Shiying incomprehensibly and asked: "What does Yuan Fu mean by this? The false emperor is a false emperor, and we are ourselves."

Even if the Jianguo took control of Nanjing, it would not be a change of dynasty. At most, it would be regarded as the succession of a new emperor.

Moreover, as a princess, she may not be able to succeed to the throne even if she has the title of Supervisor of the Kingdom.

Now that the big thing has not been accomplished, she is thinking of disowning us old ministers? If this is really the case, why should we support her? "

After hearing this, Ma Shiying wanted to explain again.

On the other side, a cold look flashed across Quan Zhixuan's eyes, and he said: "Inspector Ma, is this the cabinet minister you said will definitely support the supervision of the country?"

After speaking, without waiting for Ma Shiying's reply, he motioned to the two female soldiers to control Ruan Dayue.

When Ruan Dajue saw this, he shouted in a stern tone: "What are you going to do? I am the Minister of the Ministry of War... Wow~"

Ruan Dayue couldn't say what he said next, but the female soldier in the palace had already annoyed him. After catching him, he stuffed his mouth with a piece of rag.

Seeing this, Ma Shiying looked worried, but couldn't say anything.

He had said it several times, but Ruan Dajue still didn't understand the situation clearly. In the end, he actually dared to talk about the rights and wrongs of the prison country. It would be great if he was not killed directly by these concubine's soldiers.

On the other side, Zhu Yousong, Zhao Zhilong, and Zhu Guobi all took pleasure in the misfortune.

They also realized that Zhu Yura had not promised Ma Shiying any benefits. Now Ma Shiying's best friend Ruan Dayue criticized Zhu Yura, which made them feel that Zhu Yura's supervision of the imperial court would inevitably be unstable in the future.

Although Zhu Yousong was so worried that he didn't sleep all night last night, he picked up his energy at this time and said: "Yuan Fu, Kun Xing treated you like this, and you betrayed me and supported her. Isn't it a secret conspiracy?"

"Shut up!"

One of the captains of the female soldiers scolded him, and asked someone to get another rag, and stuffed Zhu Yousong's mouth.

Ma Shiying closed her eyes and acted as if nothing happened...

Nearly half an hour later, Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao and the cabinet minister Wang Duo, who was the Minister of Hubu, also came to Jinshen Hall and were controlled by a group of female soldiers.

At this point, all the military and political leaders of Nanjing City were in Jinshen Palace.

Quan Zhixuan and others only need to guard Jinshen Palace to temporarily control the entire Nanjing city.

Because it was not the day of the court meeting, other officials in the Hongguang court were still unaware of such a major event happening in the palace, and went to their respective yamen as usual to attend their duties.

The people went to the streets as usual, working hard for food for their family or for their personal future.

As a big city with a population of nearly one million, in the morning, apart from the towns and villages in the city, the busiest places with the most people are the docks inside and outside the city.

Nanjing has the Qinhuai River passing through the outer city. As for the outer city, from east to west, there are Shangyuan Gate, Funing Gate, Yifeng Gate, Dinghuai Gate, Jiangdong Gate, and Water Gate of the outer city.

Among them, Dinghuai Gate, Jiangdong Gate, and Outer City Water Gate are the three gates with the largest flow of people due to their geographical advantages.

Many people rely on the flow of people from these three gates to do various businesses or sell their physical strength to make a living.

Nanjing has been at peace for more than two hundred years. Nowadays, there are rows of houses outside the city, and I don’t know how many people live there.

Even along the Yangtze River, there are many villages and towns.

It's early morning, it's time to work, everything on the river, on the river, and on the dock is busy.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the upper reaches of the river——

"Woo——"

Many people not only followed the sound, but also saw sails emerging one after another on the upper reaches of the river.

And the most eye-catching ones are the three strange ships at the front that are completely black and emit black smoke.

Perhaps it is because they have not experienced war for so long. Even though they have heard about many wars and military disasters in other places, most people who rely on Nanjing still lack vigilance.

Seeing this scene, not many people realized the danger. Instead, they started talking to the people around them.

"Oh my god, there are so many ships, more than the ships of the Jingying Navy!"

"Look, those three big black ships in front are emitting so much smoke. Are they on fire?"

"This should be the ship of Jiang Water Defense Engineer Huang Junmen, right? Why don't we see them docking to put out the fire?"

“···”

Gu Yanwu just got off the boat and heard the people around him talking, so he also looked upstream of the river.

Then he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although he didn't know much about the situation in Nanjing, he had a vague feeling that with so many warships appearing on the Nanjing River, something big was definitely going on.

Seeing that the people around him were looking at them, as if they were watching a show, without any warning, he loudly said: "Everyone, please spread out - if the naval warship is really coming, I am afraid that many officers and soldiers will come ashore. Please be careful." Don’t block the way of the officers and soldiers here.”

Hearing this, the people around suddenly remembered that soldiers are more terrifying than bandits these days, so most of the people dispersed or even left in a hurry.

But there are still a small number of people who continue to watch the fun.

When Gu Yanwu saw it, he knew what these people were thinking. Most of them thought that even the officers and soldiers would not dare to mess around at the foot of the capital.

If it were a few decades ago, you could indeed think so.

Little do they know that times have changed and troubled times have arrived. How can past experience be relied upon?

Gu Yanwu did not persuade him again, but hurriedly entered the city.
