Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 313 Nanjing arrives in Wancheng

Military disasters, droughts, and floods almost destroyed the agriculture of the entire Henan Province, especially the Yellow River burst its embankment, and the Kaifeng Mansion of Nuoda directly became a saline-alkali land, which was a disastrous consequence for the population.

In this way, until the second year of Hongguang, except for the three prefectures in Hebei, the Henan Province of Nuoda was basically a thousand miles away.

I won’t go into details in the preface, it’s already the usual thing to show the nakedness and fill the bones.

Among the million people, nearly [-]% are gathered in Wubao, belonging to the local tycoons and gentry, and the court has very few taxpayers.

It can be said bluntly that the [-] troops under his command almost emptied Henan. If Nanyang hadn't brought in a lot of food and grass in the past few days, these gentry would have rebelled long ago.

However, his eyes did not linger too much on Henan, and turned to the east in an instant, where there was a map of the entire South Zhili.

When the city of Nanjing was destroyed, the search and investigation department spent less than a hundred taels to get the maps of Yingtian Mansion and Nanzhili. Compared with the importance of the maps, this amount of silver was so insignificant that Zhu Yixi couldn't believe it.

Nothing more, the death of a country is so weird.

Guide Mansion, Xuzhou, Luzhou, Nanjing, this is a route.

On the other side, from Nanyang to Xiangyang, sailing on the Yangtze River by boat, from Anqing to Nanjing, it goes smoothly. This is also a route.

The advantages and disadvantages of both are obvious.

A line in Xuzhou can take advantage of the situation to subdue Gao Jie, take Huaibei, bring his army, and go straight to Nanjing with the momentum of Mount Tai.

Similarly, there is no problem with the line of the Yangtze River going straight to Nanjing, but the entire Huaibei is easy to lose control and is not easy to control.

This is a great choice for the entire army.

Of course, for Zhu Yixi, this will determine the fate of hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Turning his eyes around Nanjing for a moment, Zhu Yixi asked Sun Changzhou: "Do you think I went down from the north, or from the Yangtze River?"

How do you ask me this?

Sun Changzhou was full of questions.

After a while, he said resolutely: "Although we must defend the Huaihe River, we must first get Nanjing first."

"Now that Nanjing has fallen, the mausoleum of Taizu has not been laid to rest, and the ministers are terrified."

Hearing the words, Zhu Yixi smiled, and everything was kept silent.

When Yan Wang Zhu Di conquered Nanjing, under the advice of Hanlin scholar Yang Daoying, he did not enter the palace when he crossed the city.
Jing Nanping the thief, although uncles and nephews fight, but they are all the blood of Taizu.

Compared with King Yu, although his achievements are not bad, he belongs to the Shu clan, and there are hundreds of people whose patriarchal clan is higher than him.

Therefore, for the sake of righteousness, he must take down Nanjing City first, occupy the commanding heights in the patriarchal clan, and then consider the next thing.

However, Zhu Yixi, who knew the history, understood a deeper level: Nanjing City was destroyed, Emperor Hongguang was captured, and the other vassals could no longer bear it.

The famous Emperor Longwu, King Zhu Jinjian of the Tang Dynasty, King Lu of the Maritime Supervisory Kingdom, King Lu of Hangzhou, and King Yijianguo of Fuzhou, etc., were elected to the Supervisory Kingdom. .

And if Zhu Yixi wins Nanjing City ahead of schedule, he will be one step ahead of everyone, and will naturally occupy the orthodox position.

The importance of Nanjing City can be seen.

"Let Feng Xianzong come to see me!"

King Yu ordered in a deep voice.

At this time, Feng Xianzong was in a good mood at the newly purchased house located in Luoyang City, and was flattered again and again.

With the Yu Wang supervising the country, Feng Xianzong's tide rose. As the highest-ranking Henan native under the shogunate, he was welcomed by many Henan gentry.

Entrusting children, forming marriages, friendly exchanges, etc., can be described as countless.

Mr. Feng was beaming, raised his chin, and said proudly: "King Yu is the lord of the world. Mingjun, he will rule the world sooner or later. My family's Xianzong has been favored, and his mere achievements are not worth mentioning. In the future, hehe..."

You know everything.

"Brother, the most taboo thing for a ruler is to form cliques under his subordinates for personal gain. This is the disaster of the Donglin Party. King Yu repeatedly orders him to avoid forming cliques. Now that you are so ostentatious, I'm afraid it will cause displeasure."

The cousin Feng Xiande at the side shook his head, his young face was full of doubts and surprises, and he hurriedly advised.

"Xiande, you don't know why."

Feng Xianzong nodded slightly, and said: "Nowadays we are trying to win over the Henan gentry, but His Highness personally issued the task."

"But you can see this, it's not bad."

Feng Xiande was a little embarrassed, shy for a while, then calmed down and said: "What brother said is very true."

"In a few days, I will recommend you to go to the Military and Political Department to practice. After a year or so, you can directly serve as an officer for your parents."

Feng Xianzong was very satisfied with his cousin, with a look of relief.

The long-term success of the family lies in the generation of talents in the family and the luxuriant branches and leaves.

On the side, several clan elders nodded slightly, quite satisfied with this.

With His Royal Highness King Yu's momentum unstoppable, raising the bet was the most correct choice for a family.

"Xiande, how long do you think His Royal Highness King Yu will stay in Henan?"

"It won't be more than a month." Feng Xiande said in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Feng Xianzong was surprised: "Why did you say that?"

"Although Luoyang is heavy, it is not half as heavy as Nanjing." Feng Xiande said bluntly.

"Although Luoyang is small, it is also a famous city in the world. How can it be so belittled?"

Several clan elders are unhappy, and their hometown can't tolerate nonsense from others.

"My lord." Feng Xiande hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said sincerely: "It's not because my grandson intended to do this, it's because there is a Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing, which is as heavy as ten thousand jun, and is worth tens of thousands of Luoyang."

It is true that everyone is silent, and the ancestral mausoleum is indeed important.

Feng Xianzong showed a complete smile of appreciation.

"Director Feng, Your Highness has summoned you."

This was a guard coming in a hurry, Feng Xianzong didn't dare to delay, he couldn't wait to leave.

The faces of the elders of all clans were full of envy, and then they proudly puffed out their chests in honor of him.

When he came to the half-burned Prince Fu's mansion, Feng Xianzong hurriedly bowed his waist and saluted.

"Get up!" Zhu Yixi said lightly:
"The widow decided to leave Luoyang. After returning to Xiangyang, I will send troops to Nanjing. You must plan the route and defend Luoyang well."

"This?" Feng Xianzong was inexplicably astonished: "This subject is terrified."

"I ordered you to be the acting governor of Henan Province, manage civil affairs, household registration, and command the army. This is only a part-time job and will be revoked in the future."

King Yu waved his hand and said, "During this period of time, work hard, I will never lose Henan and Luoyang again."

Before Feng Xianzong had time to recover from the news of sending troops to Nanjing, he was overjoyed when he heard the appointment of acting governor.

The governor who is less than 30 years old, the huge Ming Dynasty, can't be found no matter what.

Even though, he is just the white board governor of Yu Wangbiao.

It's a pity that I can't go to Nanjing anymore.

"I leave you with 20,000 people and [-] captives. Take good care of them."
