Ancestors, please don't crawl out again.

Chapter 5 If Taizu were to be resurrected, how could we survive?

Amid the people's kneeling worship, Yang Feng returned to Chengtian Gate.

As for the swarms that followed...

Are you kidding me?
The Qing army is pouring in from other city gates to occupy the city!

It is enough for everyone to kneel down for the sake of our ancestors. Let’s wait and see about following them!

Taizu appeared?

The appearance of Taizu does not mean that all ancestors appear together.

If he had brought hundreds of thousands of troops with him, he wouldn't have hesitated. But now that he only had the Taizu, he should forget it. If they fought, they would destroy their own houses and die. In the end, they would support whoever won. At least so far, it was still the Qing army that occupied the city. After all, it was like this these days. Let alone Nanjing, Yang Feng would have made no difference in any other city. For nearly three hundred years, the Taizu Emperor had long been just a distant symbol, with little appeal to the common people.

As for the officials and gentry...

That's a monster, okay?
Even if he is Emperor Taizu Gao, he is only Emperor Taizu Gao when he is sealed in the Xiaoling Mausoleum and turned into a wooden or stone tablet.

If he dares to come out, he must be a monster.

After all, everyone understands what it would mean if Emperor Taizu Gao were to be resurrected.

Skinning and stuffing with straw is not a fabricated legend, it is real history. As for the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, let alone those who surrendered to the Jianlu, even if they did not, they would all be skinned and stuffed with straw if they fell into the hands of Emperor Taizu.

"Emperor Taizu? If Emperor Taizu were to be resurrected, how would we survive?"

Behind the kneeling crowd, a red-robed official muttered to himself.

After saying that, he quickly ran towards the Qing army that was approaching from a distance. He looked very excited while running, and before the Qing army arrived, he knelt down on the side of the road without hesitation.

Chengtianmen.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and have only gathered eight hundred men. There simply aren't enough men, so I took the liberty of bringing along some women. They were quite capable of carrying ammunition, but the palace doesn't have many firearms, so I only managed to find two or three hundred blunderbusses, a dozen or so Portuguese arquebuses, and the rest were swords and guns."

Han Zanzhou reported this to his great-grandfather, Emperor Gao.

Yang Feng looked at the eunuchs and palace maids in front of him, but none of them could be considered eunuchs. Most of them were just minor officials.

Those who are in charge of small fires, such as eunuchs, attendants, and guards, all have different ranks.

"One hundred AK47s, one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition, and ten thousand wooden-handled grenades."

He said, looking at the sky.

"It's not nice of you to cheat like this."

That so-called God said.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? You're a god after all. If I don't cheat when doing things for you, aren't you afraid that other gods will laugh at you if this gets out?"

Yang Feng despised it.

"If there were other gods, I wouldn't be so bored."

The so-called God said this with some sadness.

Of course, that was all he was saying. Then, just like in a game, wooden boxes kept appearing in front of Yang Feng...

"God, God, Emperor Taizu Gao is truly a God."

Han Zanzhou lay on the ground and shouted excitedly.

All the eunuchs and palace maids fell to the ground and kowtowed to Yang Feng excitedly.

Soon the Chengtian Gate platform was filled with wooden boxes.

"Has anyone ever shot a turtledove gun?"

Yang Feng opened a wooden box and took out an AK47, switched it to semi-automatic mode, loaded the magazine, and aimed the butt of the gun against his shoulder.

"Replying to Master Taizu, I have beaten him."

Eight young eunuchs who looked quite strong knelt forward and kowtowed.

"Put it on the parapet and hold it against your shoulder like a turtledove musket."

Yang Feng said to one of them.

The bird gun has a grip, but the dove gun is held against the shoulder. Although the recoil of the AK is not that great, it still requires some training for those who have not been trained, and aiming and shooting is even more difficult. Fortunately, it can be placed on the parapet like a dove gun. After all, having a weapon alone is not enough, there must be someone who can use it.

The young eunuch took it with both hands, crawled on his knees to the edge of the parapet, and then stood up, putting the butt of the gun against his shoulder like a turtledove gun, and resting the gun on the parapet.

"Towards the Jianlu."

Yang Feng said.

The young eunuch also aimed like he was shooting a turtledove gun.

At this time, the Qing army was less than a mile away. The Chengtian Gate city wall was the highest point, and it had a panoramic view of the streets outside.

"put!"

Yang Feng said.

The young eunuch immediately closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.

The next moment, a Qing soldier on horseback fell down.

"I hit it, I hit it."

The little eunuch opened his eyes and shouted excitedly.

In fact, the recoil of this thing is completely different from that of the banjiu gun, the caliber of the latter is close to that of a cannon.

Although he certainly did not have the ability to hit the target from 500 meters away, the problem was that the streets were full of Qing troops, so as long as the bullet did not miss the street, it would be fine.

“From now on, you can play with your eyes open, this thing won’t leak fire.

You, each of you, will have one and learn from him, and the rest of you will learn from them. When you feel you can do it, you can try to play it.

These Thunder Guns have a magazine of thirty bullets. No charge or fuse is needed. Just pull the trigger and it fires. These are loose bullets. Just press them in one by one like this. After you're done, change the magazine. You can kill within a mile. The rest depends on your aim. Kill one Jianlu and you'll be granted a rank of nobility. Kill one hundred Jianlu and you'll be made an earl. Kill three hundred and you'll be made a duke.

Yang Feng held the magazine and loaded the bullets while speaking. The young eunuchs were almost going crazy with excitement.

but……

"Don't worry, just follow me first!"

Han Xin, who had just returned to the city wall, said with a smile.

The young eunuchs looked at him in confusion.

Han Xin pointed down and saw Duoduo struggling frantically in the steaming copper vat, surrounded by piles of burning firewood.

Yang Feng smiled and nodded.

Han Zanzhou understood immediately.

"Everyone come here!"

he shouted.

The young eunuchs hurriedly followed him downstairs.

"This is a bit redundant. I think they are already loyal enough."

Yang Feng asked Han Xin.

"Loyalty cannot be guaranteed, human hearts are fickle, even gods cannot. Life and death are all possible. The only way to solve the problem is to cut off their retreat."

Han Xin said.

Since that was the case, Yang Feng didn't care about it. He was obviously not as professional as Han Xin in this kind of thing.

He looked at the remaining women, then picked up a grenade, unscrewed the back cover, pulled the rope that fell out at them, and then threw it at the Qing army vanguard. The grenade exploded above their heads, and several Qing soldiers fell down with screams.

"Do you understand?"

He said.

"Replying to Master Taizu, I understand."

A palace maid said tremblingly.

These should have been done after Hongguang ascended the throne. Originally, the Nanjing Imperial Palace was basically filled with eunuchs.

"Each of you should take two and hide behind the parapet. If the enemy try to climb the city walls, you should unscrew the lid, pull the rope, and throw it at the enemy just like I did. Anyone who is hit will be granted a title, even women."

Yang Feng said.

"The slaves obey the order."

The palace maid kowtowed excitedly and said.

Then she hurried forward and took two grenades, and the other palace maids crawled forward on their knees, holding the grenades and taking their positions.

Their duties weren't dangerous, as long as they didn't drop grenades on themselves.

"Split half of them to Duanmen. You command at Duanmen. Attack the Jianlu when you see them. If the Jianlu get close to the city wall, have the women throw grenades."

Yang Feng said to Han Zanzhou below.

The latter quickly accepted the order.

At this time, he was holding a knife in his hand and standing beside the steaming vat, while the young eunuchs were waiting in line, just like queuing for food.

By this time, the Meridian Gate had already been set on fire. Han Zanzhou was too short-handed to block the gate in time, so he piled some vehicles, soybeans, castor beans, and other supplies inside and set them on fire. Castor beans were particularly important. He was in charge of the Nanjing Imperial Palace and the inner treasury, including castor beans, which were used as medicinal materials. In fact, in his haste, a large part of the materials were various poisonous herbs. Therefore, the Meridian Gate was not only on fire, but also continuously emitted poisonous smoke. It was definitely impossible to pass through in a short time.

Yang Feng is guarding Chengtian Gate in front, so the Qing army should not have the courage to attack from here again.

The remaining options are to attack from Sheji Altar and Taimiao, but the Qing army is mainly in the west, so attacking from Sheji Altar is the main option.

Then they would have to face the crossfire from Chengtian Gate and Duanmen.

Yang Feng's goal was to always guard Chengtian Gate.

As for the rest…

"After three hundred years of reign, wouldn't there be one or two loyal ministers?"

Han Xin sighed.

This was his original plan, to use the appearance of Taizu to summon the resistance forces in the city, but he didn't know that Taizu was actually more hateful than the barbarians to the officials and gentry.

But it is impossible that the emperor has been in power for three hundred years without a single loyal minister.

"I'll go add fuel to the fire!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

He then pulled a grenade from the box, unscrewed the lid, pulled out the cord, and inserted it into his robe belt. He then picked up another and inserted it into the belt. In this way, he had more than a dozen grenades stuck to his waist in one go. The image of an ancient robe covered with grenades was still exaggerated. Then, wearing the twelve-tassel crown, he smiled and picked up the spear. He threw it violently as before. As the spear shot out, he also flew out, instantly reaching the heads of the Qing army who were mobilizing the artillery.

Then, amid the terrified shouts below, he pulled out a grenade, bit the pull cord with his teeth, pulled it, counted to three silently, and threw it towards the ammunition cart below.

The Qing army watched in amazement as the grenade fell on the car.

The next moment the entire ammunition truck exploded into flames.

Yang Feng rose rapidly like a bomber that had completed a bombing, leaving behind the thick smoke rising into the sky, and then dived down.

All the weapons of the Qing army below were pointed at the sky.

Bird guns, bows and arrows, three-barreled guns, bullets and arrows form a copycat air defense network.

But Yang Feng swooped down and passed the next ammunition truck, then threw a grenade on the truck.

A Qing soldier climbed up diligently, but just as he grabbed the smoking grenade, the grenade exploded, and the gunpowder barrels on the car also exploded in a chain reaction in an instant. One of the flying gunpowder barrels even crashed into the Qing soldiers before exploding, sweeping away the surrounding Qing soldiers in an instant.

"Hahahaha, I am the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. How can my country be allowed to be polluted by you, the barbarians? You are Huligai and Odoli, but my slaves. How dare you, an evil slave, bully your master? Duoduo has been cooked, and you should all be put into the cauldron one by one."

Yang Feng laughed wildly above their heads and kept throwing grenades.
