On August 7, the fourth year of Longwu, outside the city of Guocheng in Nanjing, on the side of the Yangtze River waterway west of Jiangdong Bridge, there were many markets and small towns.

This section of the Yangtze River waterway from Jiangning into the sea, also known as the Yangzi River, is very wide and supports many fishermen and slender men.

These fishermen and slender men gathered together, and gradually formed one village after another.

At this time, a group of Qing soldiers was sweeping along the Yangtze River, and several villages along the way were looted by them.

In order to hold Jiangning, Hong Chengchou naturally could not let the Ming army get supplies outside the city, and the war was too costly, and the Manchus had a money bag in the south of the Yangtze River, and the normal taxes could no longer meet the expenses of the Manchus.

Although Hong Chengchou wanted to stabilize Jiangnan before, but now if he doesn't rob it, these materials and silver money may become the capital of the Ming army to attack Jiangning, so it is imperative to clear the wilderness.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army had not yet arrived in the city, Boluo sent hundreds of Qing soldiers and began to go to the suburbs of Jiangning, robbing money and grain, arresting strong men, and burning down houses, making the local people miserable and mourning.

In fact, in the past few years, after the Qing army killed half of the people, the contradiction between people and land in Jiangnan was basically resolved, Hong Chengchou used those ownerless lands to buy people's hearts, and then through his management, those ordinary people have been bought by the hypocrisy of the Qing court, and even many people have regarded themselves as the subjects of the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, the Qing army tore off the previous hypocritical face, and they knew that no matter how obedient they were, they were not the people of the Manchus, but slaves who could be harvested at any time, and the Manchus were purely using them.

It turned out that they also allocated land to Hong Chengchou and were grateful to him, but now they don't know how many people there are, and they cursed him for not dying well.

At this time, a group of green battalion soldiers escorted a group of captured strong men, drove cattle, sheep, chickens, and ducks, and pushed carts full of grain and copper coins through the dirt road in the village.

"Mr. General, I'll get to Jiangdong Bridge soon, and there is only one Zhao Jiadu left in front, this little thing is not easy to handle!" An old soldier said as he licked his lips.

The Qing soldiers who were sent out were all set targets, and there were regulations on how much Ding each team caught, how much grain they robbed, and how much money they robbed, and they did not hand over those who robbed more, which was used to stimulate the beastly nature of the Qing soldiers and better implement Hong Chengchou's strategy of clearing the wilderness.

This should have been a good errand, but most of the soldiers in this team were locals, after all, the villagers couldn't bear to be ruthless.

The general looked back at the harvest, and wondered: "The rations are almost gone, leave a way for the people to live!" ”

"The other teams have ordered all the houses, they have completed the task, we can't finish it, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain." The soldier reminded him, I don't know if he was worried about the chief, or if he was dissatisfied with the fact that he didn't get any benefits from coming out this time. ”

There was a burst of irritability on the face of the boss, "The straight lady thief, I really forced Lao Tzu to be anxious, Lao Tzu~"

Before he finished speaking, a roar suddenly came from behind him, and his voice stopped abruptly, and he suddenly looked back, only to see a piece of yellow dust rising in the distance.

On this road, only their team was responsible for sweeping, so many war horses came from the west, and they didn't have to think about it to know that the Ming army in the direction of Dasheng Pass had been killed.

"Oh no, run!" The general's face changed, and he ran out of the village, and the soldiers hurried the carts and the strong men, and followed closely, but before they could leave the village, they threw their things away, for the cavalry had already pursued them.

The commander glanced back, and there were hundreds of cavalrymen chasing after him, each with a white belt wrapped around his helmet, plain clothes on his armor, and white scarves on his weapons.

The cavalry galloped like a moving snow-capped mountain, their white belts fluttering, and their swords shining brightly in the sun.

The cavalry was extremely fast, and the Qing soldiers complained bitterly in their hearts, where could they still take care of the vehicles and strong men, and they ran away one after another, but how could a two-legged person outrun a four-legged war horse.

The cavalry of the Ming army divided into two teams like driving a flock of sheep, copied from two sides, and drove the scattered green battalion soldiers together.

As soon as he soaked in urine, nearly 100 Qing soldiers and hundreds of strong men were surrounded by cavalry.

A group of Qing soldiers and strong men looked at this cavalry dressed in plain clothes, circled around them, beat their horses and galloped, and their faces leaked with fear.

The strong men said that they knew each other, and they didn't need to be instructed, so they squatted down with their heads in their hands, and the Qing soldiers stood at a loss, their faces full of fear.

At this time, the galloping Ming army finally stopped, one by one with a bow and arrows, with a sharp arrow aimed at the green battalion soldiers, a general with a bow and arrow to pull the garden, was about to shoot this group of green battalion soldiers, but a general next to him suddenly held a cavalry spear, his bow and arrow pressed down.

The general turned his head suspiciously, but the man who used the gun said: "The entire western suburbs of Nanjing, smoke is everywhere, we came all the way, but we didn't see the house burned, leave them alive, and serve the attack on Nanjing." ”

Ten miles behind the cavalry, in the village that had just been swept by the Qing soldiers, every household closed its doors and windows, because outside the village, it was like a big flood, and countless soldiers and men came in plain clothes, just like the Yin soldiers.

The people whose villages were destroyed stood blankly on the wilderness, with soldiers of Dai Xiao walking past them, not talking to them, all holding weapons and walking silently, as if there was a special energy hidden in their bodies.

A white-bearded old man, holding his grandson to the side, looked at the soldiers, and couldn't help but pull his grandson behind him, and at this moment, a hundred households on horseback walked by, glanced at his grandson, and didn't say anything, threw a burden over, and Cui Ma continued to move forward.

The old man was slightly stunned, caught the burden, looked at the hundred households and walked away, only to open it and see, it was not a valuable thing, just a few flatbreads, but the old man's tears poured out.

In the western suburbs of Nanjing, within a radius of dozens of miles, a piece of snow is white, like snowfall in summer.

Next to another burned village, dozens of ordinary people, watching the endless army pass by outside the village, one of them asked stupidly: "Baozheng, what are they doing in plain clothes?" ”

Bao Zheng looked at the team, as if he was recalling, and said after half a sound: "You fool, this is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty coming back and going to Nanjing to worship Taizu." ”

"Can the Qing soldiers let them worship?"

Lao Baozheng smiled, "Fool, the Qing army was defeated, didn't you see it?" ”

As he was talking, he saw in the distance, six horses pulling a big cart over, and there was a large coffin on the cart, which was full of white flags.

A large group of court ministers dressed in plain clothes, each holding a white banner in their hands, followed the sides of the cart, walking slowly, crying.

In the army, a cavalry of thousands of households, galloped wildly, all the way to ask where the feudal lord was, and when he found Wang Yan, he pulled his horse over, gasped: "King, the forward is only more than ten miles away from Nanjing Waiguo, General Qin asked whether to camp or continue to advance?" ”

Wang Yan opened his eyes and looked around, seeing that the army was full of wilderness, the army was majestic, and the horse whip was raised, "Tell Qin Shangxing that the army is driving directly to the city of Nanjing!" ”
