Chapter 124: Handsome Account,
Grain transport boats carried a single sail and went upstream, reaching the dock outside Shangyuan Gate. At this time, there were also thousands of sails on the river surface outside Shangyuan Gate. More than hundreds of sea boats gathered on the river surface almost filled the entire river surface.
These grain ships that had just arrived at the wharf after passing through many checkpoints were the grain transport fleets coming from Jiangyin. In addition to transporting 50,000 stones of grain and tens of thousands of kilograms of bacon, these grain transport ships also brought 3,000 soldiers from the Left-wing Battalion led by Li Ziyuan.
However, just after he got ashore from Shangyuan Gate, looking at the situation of the army in the camp on the shore, Li Ziyuan frowned suddenly. This should be a place with strict prevention, and there were soldiers gambling everywhere. It was inconvenient for the soldiers to bet on the money there, even Guan Zuo. What's more, they were all drunk, and even on the riverside, there were many soldiers fishing there, and there were some serious guards there.
"Tong, commander, this is the general's army?"
Not to mention that people like Lin Nangui who entered the camp after Jiangyin did not believe what they saw, even Li Ziyuan did not expect that in just a few days, the general's camp would be relaxed.
In fact, the reason for being so relaxed is very simple. The victory of Guazhou and Zhenjiang made the Zheng army full of underestimation. Moreover, for a long time in camping in the same place, the soldiers will naturally feel bored and bored. In addition, the enemy is right in front of them, and the Han has training every day. In this case, playing games such as gambling naturally becomes a normal thing.
"No wonder the army is worried that the army will be defeated in Nanjing. How can the army be defeated so slackened?"
While Li Ziyuan was thinking so much, the general had already sent the order from the general to see him in the tent.
"!"
After receiving the order from the general, Li Ziyuan ordered the deputy commander of the left wing battalion.
"I'll go to see the general first. Look at the current situation. I'll take people over here. If someone stops you, it's the general's order. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Commander Li, I know how to do it!"
If you admire Zhu Junmen the most, it is probably the courage of the military to take risks. If the military dares to take risks with one's own strength, how can he, the deputy commander, fall behind?
"The general's tent is set up on Baitu Mountain (Maofu Mountain)!"
The reason why the general's tent was set up on Baitu Mountain (Mufu Mountain) was because of his study experience in Nanjing that Zheng Chenggong knew that he could look down at the entire Nanjing city from here. However, what disappointed him was that even this was the case. Apart from being able to see the lifelessness in Nanjing city, he could not see much.
Zheng Chenggong has been in a good mood these days. In addition to the liberation of Nanjing just around the corner, more importantly, his birthday will be in six days. At that time, Nanjing will be the best birthday gift. Lang Tingzuo has sent someone to send another letter. The city will be opened on the same day and Nanjing will be presented to him.
Just wait for another six days, and after six days, you will be able to enter Nanjing. It is like Emperor Gaozu who was the emperor who decided to restore China to the south of the Yangtze River...
In a good mood, when he heard that the food transport from Jiangyin arrived, he was still worried about the lack of food and grass in the army, so he naturally became even happier, so he made an exception to meet the grain escort officer.
In the tent, Zheng Chenggong looked at Li Ziyuan kneeling in the tent and said.
"You are Li Ziyuan?"
"Bid it with Li Ziyuan, I have met the general!"
Li Ziyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't even dare to show his anger. He was confident that he did not have the blessing of the military. If he annoyed the general, it would be said whether his life could be saved by then.
"The food and grass were transported by Zhu Mingzhong, why didn't he come?"
If there is any regret, it is probably Zhu Mingzhong who did not come. If he comes... Zheng Chenggong made up his mind to let him wait until twenty-two, let him watch himself entering Nanjing from Jubao Gate, let him see how Lang Tingzu and others kneel on the ground to welcome him into the city.
But, Zhu Mingzhong didn't come!
"Hmph, this thing... I must be afraid that I will blame him, so I dare not come!"
If it were put over, Li Ziyuan might have chosen to remain silent, but now he has regarded himself as Zhu Mingzhong's confidant, although he is afraid of the general's momentum, he still speaks out to defend himself.
"Reply to the general, my military gate is here!"
After Li Ziyuan said this, let alone Zheng Chenggong, even the others were stunned. They all looked at him in surprise and thought to himself, how did this kid behave?
"Here you come!"
Zheng Chenggong asked sternly with a brow leaps.
"Speak, since you are here, why don't you come to see me in the account? Could it be that his surname Zhu is still annoying that I will..."
The reason why Zheng Chenggong was so angry was because he felt that Zhu Mingzhong didn’t come because he was afraid!
"Go back to General, I, my military gate..."
Li Ziyuan gritted his teeth suddenly.
"My military gate is trying to find a dangerous situation and leading troops to open the Nanjing city gate that the general has cheated on!"
What!
Suddenly, the entire tent was shocked, and Wan Li asked in a panic.
"What did you say? The Nanjing city gate was opened in a fraudulent way! How did he cheat?"
"The Nanjing city gate is opened!"
Zheng Chenggong, who suddenly stood up, glared at Li Ziyuan kneeling on the ground and shouted sternly.
"How did he, Zhu Mingzhong, pretend to open the city gate?"
When asked this, Zheng Chenggong suppressed his anger. In his opinion, Zhu Mingzhong was obviously for himself and to prevent himself from humiliating his face. Whose face will be behind? It is his Zheng Chenggong's face!
"My army ambushed the reinforcements led by Liang Huafeng in Susong Town in Danyang a few days ago. Now they have put on makeup and entered the city with Qing army. Once the signal is heard, the general can order people to attack the city. At that time, the inside and outside will cooperate, and this Nanjing city can naturally be brought down..."
"You can go down naturally, you can go down naturally... OK, OK..."
Zheng Chenggong, who was extremely angry and laughed, said sternly.
"What a good one is naturally good! What a good one is Zhu Mingzhong, what a good one is innocent! OK, that's great!..."
With Zheng Chenggong's anger, the atmosphere in the handsome tent suddenly changed. Everyone who knew him knew how angry Zheng Chenggong was at this time.
"He Zhu Mingzhong knows that Lang Tingzuo has decided to surrender me. Now he will go to the city to cheat. At that time, the news will come out. I, Zheng Chenggong, have broken trust, will not let the world laugh at me? OK, okay..."
"If you come, send someone to stop him immediately. If you come, don't worry..."
"General!"
Before Zheng Chenggong could finish speaking, Li Ziyuan bent over and said.
"My military service is full of all the hearts of the Ming Dynasty. I will never dare to have any selfishness. Lang Tingzuo is just a fraudulent surrender..."
Before Li Ziyuan could finish his words, Zheng Chenggong kicked him to the ground and said sternly.
"Failed surrender, false surrender! Don't I know what it means to be a fraudulent surrender, someone comes..."
"General, please be sure to trust our military service,"
Li Ziyuan said while keeping kowtowing.
"My military service is all for the Ming Dynasty. Please be sure to believe in my military service..."
"Your military wants to die! Do you want to die, either!"
Griefly staring at Li Ziyuan, Zheng Chenggong asked sternly.
"If the villain's life can make the general take back his life, the villain, the villain is willing to repay his life with death..."
Li Ziyuan's answer made everyone in the tent look at him in surprise. Although he knew that the general was angry, Wang Zhongxiao, Gan Hui, Wan Li and others who had always complained about the general waiting outside the city, persuaded him.
"What Zhu Mingzhong did is also a matter of state affairs. Please think twice!"
"Please think twice, General..."
Just at this moment, a sudden burst of cannons came from a distance... The sound of cannons from the bottom of the mountain changed Zheng Chenggong's face, and he hurried out of the big tent and asked outside the tent.
