Even Jiangyin City, which resisted the siege of the Qing army on the 81st and even killed the three kings and eighteen generals of the Qing army, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty at the beginning.

(ps: Who are the three kings and eighteen generals? The author has not found out.)
If it weren't for Dorgon's brain damage and insisting on shaving his hair and changing clothes, Jiangyin would not surrender and rebel.

Whether there will be Yan Yingyuan and other Jiangyin people's righteous deeds against the Qing Dynasty in history, that is not sure!

Therefore, Zhu Hongyu really didn't have much affection for these landlords and gentry in Jiangnan!
However, fighting the world without the military force is a process of fighting for people's hearts.

Since the landlords and gentry in Jiangnan took the initiative to express their kindness to Zhu Hongyu, Zhu Hongyu naturally had to give them some face.

……

After receiving orders from Lang Tingzuo, governor of Liangjiang, the Qing troops from all over the south of the Yangtze River continued to gather in Jiangning City through the dense water network traffic lines all over the south of the Yangtze River.

Green battalion cavalry, infantry, artillery, and even sailors from all over the country are all within the scope of being ordered to assemble.

In just six or seven days, Jiangning City assembled more than [-] soldiers and horses.

In addition to the original garrison of the Eight Banners in the city, there are nearly 3 Qing soldiers and horses in the current Jiangning City.

Although the quality of the green battalions among them varies, the combat effectiveness of those stationed in the Eight Banners is still considerable!
In the Daxiaochang in Jiangning City, flags were fluttering and drums were beeping.

A black crowd filled the entire school grounds, with lightning rods on their heads, wearing thick cotton armor, and Eight Banners soldiers sitting on horseback with bows and knives.

With swords and guns in hand, line up the standing green battalion!
Cannons in red clothes were placed at the front of the school field, and gunners in thick padded jackets stood beside the cannons.

The muzzle of the black hole is like the mouth of a wild beast, ready to devour life at any time.

Lang Tingzuo and Tulehun stood at the head of the big school field, reviewing the Qing soldiers and horses in the school field.

Looking at the mighty and extraordinary army in the school grounds, Lang Tingzuo, Tulehun and others were all excited.

At this moment, a messenger of the Qing army rushed in from outside the school grounds!

As soon as the orderly entered the school yard, he got off his horse and shouted loudly.

"Urgent report!"

"Urgent report!"

"Ming thieves broke through Zhenjiang, shelled Yizheng, and directed their troops at Jiangning!"

"..."

Amid the urgent report, Lang Tingzuo and the others all changed their complexions drastically.

"Prepare for battle!"

"Prepare for battle!"

"Get ready to go out of the city to meet the criminals!"

"..."

As soon as the banner on the campus changed, the various Qing troops received orders and began to march out of the city according to different organizational systems.

Although their soldiers and horses marched less neatly and neatly than the Guangfu Army, they were quite organized, which shows that they are not weak troops.

Lang Tingzuo, Tulehun and others even put on their armor, and under the protection of their personal soldier Goshha, they personally led the troops out of the city, preparing to fight the Ming army.

……

After the Ming army took Zhenjiang, the marine troops began to land and prepare for the war in Nanjing.

For the sake of marching speed, the Ming army that had landed was marching lightly along the Yangtze River.

The artillery, gunpowder, shells, armor and ordnance needed for the army to fight are all transported by water by transport ships.

The only weapons that soldiers carry with them are some muskets and knives and spears.

"How long will it take for the army to arrive in Nanjing?"

Zhu Hongyu was riding on the back of a tall and handsome war horse. He looked mighty and extraordinary, and the scarlet cloak behind him was extremely eye-catching.

He asked Xu Bin beside him in a low voice.

Xu Bin was also riding a horse, one body behind Zhu Hongyu.

After hearing Zhu Hongyu's question, he immediately spoke.

"Reporting to His Highness Jian Guo, Zhenjiang is still about a hundred and fifty miles away from Nanjing. According to our army's marching speed, it will take about two days to reach Nanjing."

The Ming army marched lightly, and heavy weapons such as artillery and armor were transported by water, which would not cause a drag on the march of the army.

Therefore, marching 150 miles in two days is not an exaggeration!
Such a marching speed can only be regarded as a normal march for the recovery army.

If Zhu Hongyu ordered a rapid march, the marching speed of the recovery army could be even faster.

However, in order for the recovery army to have enough physical strength to go into battle at any time after arriving in Nanjing, Zhu Hongyu did not order the army to march in a hurry.

If it weren't for the fear that the Qing army would take the initiative to attack and go to the banks of the Yangtze River to meet the Ming army, but at that time the Ming army's forces were all huddled on board, unable to land and start fighting.

Zhu Hongyu would not order the Ming army to switch to land by water after passing through Zhenjiang.

Xu Bin opened his mouth to add again.

"But if the Qing captives take the initiative to go out of the city and want to fight with our army in the field, the time for the two sides to fight may be advanced."

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Spread out the sentry, if you find that the Qing army will report back at any time, we will prepare for war here!"

The army is not an individual, but a whole.

If there are too many people, the reaction speed will slow down, and this cannot be changed.

No matter how well-trained, at most it is to shorten the reaction time as much as possible.

From discovering the enemy to preparing for battle, it takes half a day to prepare.

Among other things, it will take a while to unload the armor, artillery and other weapons and ordnance from the transport ship!
Xu Bin complied with his promise, turned his head and went to order the people below to do things.

The sentry cavalry of the Ming army were dispersed and went to all directions of the army to explore the way for the army and ensure that the army would not be attacked suddenly.

……

On the banks of the Yangtze River, a large number of soldiers of the Ming army are marching slowly.

The flags representing the identities of the soldiers and horses of the various ministries fluttered in the wind, and the march of the army was quite organized.

The formations of different organizational systems are clearly defined. If you encounter an enemy, you can change into a combat formation to meet the enemy at any time according to your respective organization.

The soldiers marched with neat steps, marching to the beat of drums!

"War smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north, the dragon flag rolls up, the horse neighs, the sword energy is like frost..."

"Don't you see, the army at the end of the Han Dynasty, the weak crowned captives invite long tassels! Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, Jueyu Qingqi urges Zhanyun, the man is in danger..."

"Wear iron armor and carry a long knife! Fight with me, the road is long!"

"Come with the enemy, let's die and live together! Fight with the son, and the heart will not slacken!"

"..."

The military songs resounded, and the morale of the Ming army was always at its peak like a boiling flame.

The marching array stretched back and forth for several miles, with no end in sight.

Most of the soldiers in the formation march forward with muskets on their backs, bayonets, bullet bags, water bottles and other things on their waists.

There are many things, but it doesn't look messy!

The smoke and dust stirred up by countless soldiers marching together formed an earth dragon, which was unusually eye-catching.

Once people pass by, there is no limit!
Tens of thousands of troops gathered together and marched. Those who have never seen it before will never imagine how shocking and spectacular such a scene is.

At a glance, there are crowds of people everywhere, and there are a large number of black heads everywhere.

It's not an exaggeration to say that a horse takes over the sky!

Jia Qijin was wearing a knife on his waist, and following the march of the army, he had to stop from time to time to urge the group of dejected soldiers behind him to follow.

Because those people are all his subordinates!

Jia Qijin surrendered in the Battle of the Yangtze Estuary, and then returned to the Ming Dynasty with his braids cut before the battle, and chose to continue working for his old club, Daming.

In the battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River, he made a lot of contributions. Not only was he exempted from hard labor, he was also rewarded with a lot of money for his meritorious service.

After the Green Battalion was reorganized into the Guiyi Army anyway, Jia Qijin was promoted to a grassroots officer.

From a big soldier to an officer, even if it is only a grassroots officer, Jia Qijin can be considered to have achieved a leap in class.

And this is just the reward he got after a big battle!
