The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes.

At dusk, on the ferry, Chunxiang looked at the outline of the city on the opposite bank, his eyes narrowed into a slit, this was the first time he saw the Yangtze River and felt the momentum of the big waves and sand, and it was also the first time he went to Nanjing, but his heart was like pressing a stone and breathless.

Before he came, Chang Yu had repeatedly explained that he should not be publicized in a low-key manner, because the water in Nanjing City was too deep and too muddy.

Chunxiang also explained to his subordinates in this way, and his subordinates frowned and puzzled: "Our East Factory is walking sideways in Beijing, is it possible that you have to hold your tail when you arrive in Nanjing?" ”

"Today is different from the past" Chunxiang remembered Chang Yu's words, the emperor is far away, in recent years, the imperial court has been busy suppressing bandits and fighting wars and has poor control over the Jiangnan area, although Nanjing also has a small imperial court, but it is only an ornament, and there are dozens of hundreds of nobles in the city, these people are not at the feet of the Son of Heaven There is no deterrence one by one arrogant, Nanjing City has long been stirred up by them.

"Gao Wencai has been here for a few months, and his foundation must be stable, so he doesn't need to be too low-key and careful." Youfan still doesn't think so.

After Chang Yu took over the East Factory, he began to dig people from Jinyiwei frantically, others were digging the foot of the wall, he was digging the foundation together, and commanded Jinyiwei to command Wang Guoxing in one breath, and commanded Li Ruogui and thousands of households Gao Wencai all dug up, the first two directly mobilized Shanxi to help him copy the homes of those collaborators who collaborated with the enemy, and Gao Wencai was ordered to go south to arrange.

He went all the way south from Beijing, and arranged people in Baoding, Jinan, Xuzhou and other places to establish information channels.

"Remember, our Dongchang is here to collect intelligence, not to show off its might" Chunxiang reprimanded: "And there is a lot of dirty work to do, why do you do so publicly."

The subordinate nodded when he heard this: "Just by the orders of the adults."

Turning his head to look at the sunset in the west, Chunxiang said softly: "After entering the city, I kept an eye on a few people, Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing, Zhao Zhilong, Bo Zhao of Xincheng, and one named Ruan Dacheng."

The fans wrote them down one by one, and frowned again: "Who is this Ruan Dacheng, why haven't you heard of it?" ”

Chunxiang shook his head: "We haven't heard of it yet, but he is the one named by the Overseer, do you understand?" ”

The fans were shocked, they naturally understood this, and being named by Chang Yu was equivalent to talking about the life and death book of Lord Yama, but he just gave a personal name, but it was difficult to inquire.

"It's not difficult at all, Gao Wencai must have his information over there, and maybe he has already found this person, let's just work when we get to the field."

Chunxiang and his entourage crossed the Yangtze River, the sun has set at the beginning of the night, fortunately it is a summer day when the sky will not be completely dark, pay the silver and the two lines led the horse to the shore and looked back at the sunset of the Yangtze River, then turned over and ran southeast to go.

Now it's dark, the city gate is closed, don't want to enter the city today, but Chunxiang no longer wants to sleep in the wilderness, everything else can endure, the mosquito attack is really unbearable, so I want to find an inn, but although the ferry is bustling and lively, I didn't see any decent inn, so I stretched out my hand to stop a girl selling snacks: "Ask, is there a big inn near here?" ”

The little girl was not timid, and looked up at Chunxiang and his party: "How big is it?" raised his hand to the Qinhuai River next to him: "Follow the river to the direction of the city, there are many more, not only inns but also restaurants and gambling houses, and there are many flower boats in the river, but the big flower boats are all in the city, you can't get in at this hour......" said and turned around and left.

"Hey, look at Nanjing, it's so good" A fan stopped the little girl and threw the broken silver over: "You are happy today, reward you."

"Thank you, Master Jun" The little girl was so happy that she had no choice but to raise her eyebrows: "You can see that we are Master Jun?" They changed into civilian clothes in order to be low-key, but they didn't expect to be recognized by a little girl at once.

"With a knife, then you are either a military master or a robber" The little girl looked at the silver in her hand: "The robber will also reward the silver, but it is really rare!" ”

Chunxiang patted his head and asked such a stupid question.

Qinhuai River is the soul of Nanjing City, the north side is connected with the mouth of the Yangtze River in Chunxiang ashore ferry not far away, there are countless boats parked in the river, there are passenger ships and cargo ships, but the most is still the flower boat, all kinds of large and small hanging lanterns are good-looking, from time to time there is a silk bamboo pipa sound to listen to the people's hearts ape horses.

I have heard the fame of the Qinhuai River for ten miles for a long time, and now I see that it is really worthy of the name, you must know that this is still a section near the ferry outside the city, and the city is not more dazzling. Chunxiang's subordinates have begun to swallow their saliva, and it goes without saying that they are frowning at each other, after all, many of them are not eunuchs.

Chunxiang didn't have any thoughts about them, first, they were too tired to hurry, and secondly, there were a few wounded people to take care of, so they found an inn to settle down first, everyone nodded, and walked south along the Qinhuai River, while enjoying the scenery in the river.

Less than a mile to Nanjing's outer Guo City, look up, is the capital out of the big scene can not help but be surprised, this Nanjing city is also bigger!

The city of Nanjing is by far the longest and largest city in the world.

Not only big, but also there are four floors, the outermost layer is the outer Guo City that Chunxiang and his party saw, using the hilly terrain around Nanjing to build a defensive city wall, but where the gentle place will build a wall to open the door, until the Yangtze River, the entire Nanjing city is wrapped, the circumference is sixty miles! Sixty miles! Sixty miles!

The outer city is the capital, with a circumference of thirty-five miles! Thirty-five miles! Thirty-five miles!

The easternmost side of the capital is the imperial city, and the imperial city is the palace city!

Zhu Yuanzhang spent 28 years and used 280,000 migrant workers about 350 million bricks to build the world's largest city defense deconstructed and most complete wall, but he dreamed that more than 200 years after his death, when the Qing army came to the city, those damned people abandoned it and surrendered directly out of the city!

Nanjing city wall is not perimeter, the area is large, the shape is not other city walls boxy, but irregular, in addition to the imperial city, the capital and the outer city are all along with the landscape topography direction, the outer city Guo eighteen gates, the capital thirteen gates, the whole Ming Dynasty is the only one.

There are two water passes at the entrance and exit of the Qinhuai River, the east water pass and the west water pass.

At this time, Chunxiang and his entourage stood on the riverbank outside the Xishui Pass and looked at the three-story building, the upper two floors were used to house soldiers and reserve supplies, the lowest floor was used to regulate the water level of the inland river and flood control, and the iron fence in the middle was to prevent the enemy from sneaking attacks.

Xishuiguan is the outlet of the Qinhuai River, connected with the Yangtze River, with a wharf, the ferry port is the entrance and exit throat of Nanjing City, no matter day or night, it is full of people coming and going, extremely busy and prosperous.

Chunxiang and his entourage found an inn near Xishuiguan, the scenery near the river is beautiful, the shopkeeper saw that they were carrying weapons, and they knew that they were the public family did not dare to ask anything, only said that if it was in the past, they could enter the outer city, generally at this time the outer city near the mouth of the Yangtze River The fence gate is open, but the situation has been unstable recently, and the outer city is closed after dark, and even the people who enter the city during the day must strictly check their identities.

Chunxiang's brows furrowed when he heard this: "But the thief army is close?" ”

"I heard that Wuhu has been beaten down!" The shopkeeper sighed and shook his head: "When will the world be more peaceful?"

I don't know when the world will be peaceful, but when the eldest brother comes, the city of Nanjing will be peaceful! Chunxiang thought silently in his heart, asked the store to fetch water and wash up, re-bandaged the wounds for his subordinates and ordered a table of wine and food to eat and drink, looking at the night view of the Qinhuai River, it was also pleasant.

The river breeze was blowing, Chunxiang was a little drunk, and his subordinates were even more embarrassed to sit still by pretending to sleep on the chair, and they all knocked on the side and hinted wildly, Chunxiang was helpless, and he fell into a gentle township before he entered the city, and what else to do.

"My lord, if you don't extinguish the fire all the way, you won't be able to concentrate on doing things when you enter the city, right?"

Chunxiang was helpless and waved his hand: "I must come back tomorrow morning (seven to nine o'clock in the morning)." All the fans were overjoyed and left with their fists, but three people were seriously injured and stayed in the inn to chat with Chunxiang.
