I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 137
It was the eighth day of March in the second year of Yonghe.

After two days and two nights of bloody fighting and suppression, there were no remaining enemies in Nanjing.

In this battle, the Eight Banners garrisoned in Nanjing were almost completely destroyed, and even Jiangning General Yong Jina was killed in the city.

This is of course not because the Ming army was ruthless, but simply because the Nanjing Eight Banners were too stubborn in their resistance. The Ming army used a lot of grenade hammers in order to reduce battle losses.

Moreover, the Ming army also suffered heavy casualties. Although the overall loss was less than [-] people, which was twice as many as the Eight Banners garrisoned in Nanjing, most of the losses were veterans of the First Army, who were killed during the siege. damaged.

It can be said that this battle alone left the First Army injured and nearly half of the veterans were injured. This was the first time for the First Army and even the Ming Army to engage in such a heavy casualty siege.

However, the results were considerable. The First Army completely destroyed the city of Nanjing before the demolition battalion took action.

Zhu Yijiong was naturally very happy to be able to obtain a basically complete Nanjing city without blasting the city wall.

Of course, since the First Army has made such a great contribution, Zhu Yijiong will not treat them poorly with the rewards for their contributions and the compensation for the casualties.

From appeasing the soldiers, having fun with the soldiers, and by the way, issuing some rewards in advance. The money for these rewards naturally came from the seizures in the city, and at the same time, the surrendered soldiers who participated in the war were officially incorporated into the new army (tentative sequence).

This went on for almost a whole day.

The next day, the ninth day of March.

After pacifying the army and ensuring that Nanjing City was basically safe, Zhu Yijiong entered Nanjing City under the protection of the Imperial Army.

Settled in the Governor's Office of Liangjiang.

As for why not stay in the Forbidden City in Nanjing?
There was no other way. At this time, the Forbidden City in Nanjing not only became a city full of people, but also the headquarters of the Eight Banners in Nanjing was in the Forbidden City in Nanjing.

Moreover, Kangxi in history was indeed not a son of man. Many years ago, Kangxi, the first emperor through the ages, first tore down all the glazed tiles in the Forbidden City in Nanjing, and then tore down the wooden carved golden dragons and Danbi in the main hall. Everything was demolished and a Fayu Temple was built in Putuo Mountain, Zhejiang Province.

The nine wooden carved golden dragons are still well preserved in modern times.

Liangjiang Governor's Yamen, front hall.

"The guilty minister pays homage to the Ming Dynasty Supervisor. Long live the Supervisor!"

Wu Cunli, the governor of Jiangsu, Cao Fu, the weaver of Jiangning, and Li Fu, the chief envoy of Anhui, together with the prefect, the magistrate of Fuguo, and all the subordinate officials under their command.

They knelt down on the ground in the Yamen Hall, everyone was so out of breath that they didn't dare to take a breath.

Suzhou weaver Li Xu hanged himself when the city was destroyed. He escaped from Suzhou, but he could not escape from Nanjing after all.

And the governor of Liangjiang, Chang Nai, was a Manchu governor, a member of the Hesheli family, and had the same surname as Song Zhu, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty. It was impossible to surrender, and he could only commit suicide for his country.

"Free gift!"

Zhu Yijiong raised his hand and said: "You guys are able to abandon the darkness and turn to the light this time. Since you have made up for your mistakes, the guilty officer will be exempted as soon as he speaks!"

Wu Cunli quickly kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you, Supervisor, for your generosity!"

"Thank you Jian Guo for your generosity!"

The other officials also said in unison.

Zhu Yijiong suddenly looked at Cao Fu and asked for no reason, "Are you Cao Fu?"

Cao Fu was startled, then he quickly lowered his eyebrows and said, "Reporting to the prison country, the humble minister Jiang Ning is weaving Cao Fu?"

Zhu Yijiong raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced back and forth a few times.

Hmm... nothing special.

It's really nothing special. After all, the really powerful one is his son, oh yes, Cao Xueqin.

Of course, Cao Xueqin was only seven years old at this time. If he hadn't accidentally seen these people's account books, Zhu Yijiong would not have been able to remember this.

Historically, Cao Fu was responsible for the tax losses in Jiangnan for three generations of the Cao family (actually Kangxi). In the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, he was investigated and convicted, and the Cao family fell into a disastrous decline. Cao Xueqin wrote the famous book "Dream of Red Mansions" (a banned book) only after suffering. ).

But now, Cao Fu has surrendered to his Ming Dynasty, which means that he will no longer be dragged by Yongzheng to kill chickens and scare monkeys.

In this case, could Cao Xueqin, who had never experienced suffering, write "A Dream of Red Mansions"?

Hey, never mind him!
He doesn’t look at it anyway.Zhu Yijiong suddenly smiled, and Cao Fu and others looked puzzled.

But the next second, Zhu Yijiong stopped smiling again, and said with a serious face: "Now that you have abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side, I won't care about the past."

As soon as the words came out, Wu Cunli and others were relieved.

"But...after today, you are my ministers of the Ming Dynasty. If there are any more lawbreakers, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The words were spoken lightly, but everyone present had their hair standing on end.

Soldiers first and then soldiers.

Wu Cunli reacted the fastest, and then he raised his hands and said: "I will obey the teachings of the supervisor!"

"I respectfully abide by the teachings of our country!" The rest of the officials said.

Zhu Yijiong said: "In that case, please go back first! The official position will be retained at the same level for the time being, and Nanjing City must be restored to its previous order as soon as possible. Oh, by the way, the matter of the Forbidden City in Nanjing must also be properly handled!"

"Wei minister leads the order!"

Wu Cunli, who was quick-thinking, understood instantly and quickly responded respectfully.

Zhu Yijiong waved her hand: "Step back!"

Everyone saluted in unison: "I'll take my leave!"

The sound of footsteps drifted away.

"such a pity!"

Zhu Yijiong looked through the battle report documents on the case again and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

The city of Nanjing was captured, but Long Keduo was allowed to escape.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the reason why Nanjing City was able to break through the city so quickly this time was not only because the soldiers sacrificed their lives, but also the key point was that Longkodo, who was stationed at Cangbo Gate, actually abandoned the city and fled.

Not only did he escape, but he also took away the Eight Banners defenders of Cangbo Gate. In this way, Cangbo Gate suddenly lost its defense due to the lack of troops.

While Longkodo took advantage of the fact that the main force of the Ming army was busy attacking Nanjing City, he took his [-] Beijing battalions and eight banners to break out from Funing Gate. By the time the Ming army noticed it, Longkodo had already led the army with him. Away by boat.

If you really want to talk about it, Zhu Yijiong seems to have to thank Longkodo. He made himself the captain of the transportation brigade and transported a large amount of troops and weapons, and now he directly handed over the difficult city of Nanjing.

But at the same time, Zhu Yijiong was a little confused, why was this Longkodo so different from what he imagined?

It's just a matter of picking one's feet during a fight, but he can actually escape from the battle. Counting the previous battle in Changzhou, this is not the first time.

Longkodo, Long Paopao?
If you think about it carefully, it seems that Longkodo in the TV series only had a high-ranking position, and then he was offline at the speed of light.

As for other abilities, it seems that they haven’t been revealed yet.

Shaking his head secretly in his heart, Zhu Yijiong didn't pay much attention to it. Longkodo really wanted to pick his own food, whether it was good or bad for him.

the next few days.

Zhu Yijiong posted notices and edicts to appease the wealthy people in the city. At the same time, his army swept through Gaochun and Lishui counties south of the Yangtze River, and then quickly sent urgent war reports back to Hangzhou.

Ming Dynasty is moving its capital again!
Moreover, the capital relocation this time is really confirmed, and the previous Quanzhou and Hangzhou are just temporary moves.

At least until the Northern Expedition recovers the Central Plains, Nanjing will be the capital of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

With the recovery of Nanjing, Tang Tongjiang also led the Ming Navy fleet to Zhenjiang Fucheng along the canal.

The navy bombarded Zhenjiang across the river for several days, and then sent naval troops to land for operations.

The city of Zhenjiang only held on for two days before it was declared broken.

At this point, the Ming army had completely controlled the south of the Yangtze River except Songjiang and Chongming.

　Li Xu and Cao Fu are actually relatives by marriage, and Sun Wencheng is also Li Xu's nephew. It can be said that the entire Jiangnan Sanwei Group is actually one family.
