On the first day of November in the first year of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hongsan, who had gathered the three-way army, finally came to Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

As a matter of fact, on 28 October, officials of all sizes in the city of Nanjing learned of the news of Hong Chengchou's defeat, and the city of Nanjing immediately became a mess, with some officials fleeing, some jumping into the river and hanging, and some abandoning their officials without making a sound.

The officials appointed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty have almost run away, and there are some officials left in the city who surrendered to the former Ming Dynasty, these people are headed by Wang Duo, a scholar of the Hongguang Dynasty, and Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, these people are also the people who surrendered to the Manchus outside the city of Nanjing.

Zhu Guobi surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty only for the purpose of keeping his family property, but he was able to get a good place by changing the dynasty and replacing him, although Zhu Guobi had the merit of dedicating the door, but the Manchu upstarts could let him go. Zhu Guobi was placed under house arrest after Duoduo occupied Nanjing for two months, and then various Manchu Qing authorities came to trouble him, and at the most serious time, a government official from Jiangning County could come over to fight the autumn breeze, and finally forced Zhu Guobi to have no choice but to sell his favorite concubine Kou Baimen in exchange for money, in order to send these vampires.

However, since last year, Zhu Guobi's life has begun to improve, because Hong Chengchou was appointed by Dolgon as the governor of the seven provinces in Jiangnan and lives in Jiangning. Hong Chengchou can at least speak, and Zhu Guobi has been released from house arrest at this time, and he can be regarded as able to enter and exit normally.

The other nobles in Nanjing City are also similar, except for a few who know how to be an official in the Manchu Dynasty, the others are old ladies who are not as good as a year after year. So when the news of Hong Chengchou's failure reached Nanjing, these unfortunate nobles began to move, they felt that their titles were awarded by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and some were awarded by the Yongle Emperor, and now the Ming Dynasty emperor has fought back, although he can no longer be as powerful as before, at least his personal safety can be guaranteed.

Therefore, Xu Yunjue, Duke of Wei, Zhang Gongri, Marquis of Longping, Li Zushu, Marquis of Linhuai, Sun Weicheng, Marquis of Huaining, Tang Guozuo, Marquis of Lingbi, Liu Zuochang, Marquis of Anyuan, Xu Hongjue, Marquis of Yongchang, Deng Wenyu, Marquis of Dingyuan, Chang Yingjun, Bo Chang Yingjun, Zou Cunyi, Bo Daxingbo, Liu Yunji, Bo Liu Yunji, Nanhe Bo Fang Yiyuan, Dongning Bo Jiao Mengxiong, Ancheng Bo Zhang Guocai, Luo Zhongbo Huang Jiuding, Cheng Anbo Guo Zuoyong and other former Ming nobles gathered in the mansion of Zhu Guobi, Duke of Baoguo, to discuss what to do.

These guys have lost the bravery of their ancestors, discussed for a long time, and finally decided on a perfect idea, that is, to bribe, these guys scraped together 50,000 taels of silver, let Zhu Guobi be the representative, and went out of the city to give gifts to the new emperor Zhu Hongsan, hoping to get the emperor's favor again.

If Ma Mingyuan, Tong Yangjia and other black-bellied people see the clever plan that these nobles come up with, they will probably be able to laugh to death, these guys don't know Zhu Hongsan at all, if you pretend to be poor, maybe Zhu Hongsan can't do anything when he sees you pitiful. But if you give Zhu Hongsan a gift now, according to Zhu Hongsan's behavior, you must have killed your whole family and taken away your property, so there is a faster business than stealing money from your family.

But these nobles have never been out of Nanzhili in their lives, and they don't know Zhu Hongsan yet, but they have only met from afar when Emperor Hongguang ascended the throne, and they know that Zhu Hongsan is ruthless.

Zhu Guobi took the silver and thought about it for a long time, it was still a little inappropriate to go to see this Shenwu Emperor by himself, and he also wanted to find a famous minister, so he chose Wang Duo, who was idle at home.

Wang Duo also welcomed the Manchu Qing into the city with them back then, which was a difficult brother, but Wang Duo did not have a beautiful daughter for Zhu Hongsan to spoil him, and after the Manchu Qing occupied Nanjing, he was given a fictitious title of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites to let him retire at home.

Wang Duo saw Zhu Guobi coming to find him, and felt that he should also go out of the mountain again, I heard that this Shenwu Emperor is very heroic, maybe he needs his own assistance!

So Zhu Guobi took Wang Duo and more than a dozen family members out of Nanjing City and came to Zhu Hongsan's military camp twenty miles away to meet Emperor Shenwu.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan had already waited for Qian Yong and Zhao Guoliang, and Zhang Quan's navy had also occupied Zhenjiang, and the entire Yangtze River had been controlled by Zhu Hongsan. Zhu Hongsan is now discussing the next battle plan with all the generals, and he can manage these surrender factions in Nanjing, so when he learned that Zhu Guobi and others came to visit, Zhu Hongsan asked Qian Qianyi, who was also a surrender faction, to entertain them.

In a camp tent, Qian Qianyi saw Zhu Guobi and Wang Duo, Qian Qianyi saw his old acquaintances and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, three years ago, he was still kneeling in the heavy rain outside Nanjing to welcome the Manchu Qing into the city, how do you know that three years later, he was already a cabinet minister of Emperor Shenwu, and came to condescendingly meet his former colleagues.

Zhu Guobi and Wang Duo saw that Qian Qianyi didn't dare to show the posture of their colleagues, so they quickly knelt down and said, "The criminal minister meets Qian Ge Lao!" Wang Duo couldn't help but feel bitter when he saw that Qian Qianyi, who had lived under him before, had entered the cabinet, and he still had to bow down to him.

But after several years of setbacks, Qian Qianyi has already become very restrained, and when he saw the two of them kneeling down, he quickly stood up and helped each other: "Two adults, please get up, Qian really doesn't dare to be someone!" ”

"Qian Ge Lao, we are sinners, I really can't hold my head up in front of Ge Lao!"

Qian Qianyi said with a smile: "Don't worry, the two adults are not disgraceful to say that they were born in Qian, but His Majesty Emperor Shenwu is very open-minded, and knows that it is a last resort for us to descend to the Qing Dynasty, so he has already issued a holy decree, regardless of his official position, as long as he can know the way and return, he will not be blamed for the past!" ”

Wang Duo and Zhu Guobi were overjoyed when they heard this, and Wang Duo asked, "Then the old man still wants to be an official?" ”

Qian Qianyi looked at Wang Duo like this and despised it in his heart, you still want to be an official like this? It's good if the emperor doesn't pursue you. But on the surface, he said: "I can transfer Lord Wang's will to the emperor, and everything is up to the emperor!" ”

Zhu Guobi is a noble and cannot be an official, so he only cares about his status and status, after all, his Duke Baoguo is a first-class duke.

"Lord Qian, how do you arrange for me to wait for the nobles?"

"Baoguo Gong, as long as you don't do evil with the Manchu Qing!"

Hearing Qian Qianyi say this, Zhu Guobi was relieved that although a few of the nobles in Nanjing had become Manchu officials, most of them were oppressed by Manchu officials, so there should be no problem.

After getting the assurance that he was fine, Zhu Guobi hurriedly took out 50,000 taels of silver tickets from his arms, and pointed out 10,000 taels and handed them to Qian Qianyi: "Lord Qian, this is a little meaning for the twenty-eight nobles in Nanjing City, and the 40,000 taels please transfer to Emperor Shenwu, which is a little bit of a subordinate!" ”

Qian Qianyi's silver back then was extorted by Zhu Hongsan, and he couldn't take away the rest of the real estate and real estate, so he stayed in Changshu, and now he sees someone giving silver and his eyes are shining.

Qianyi put the silver in his arms and said with a smile: "Baoguo Gong, you can go back with confidence and tell all the nobles to guard Nanjing, Emperor Shenwu will enter the city on the first day of the eleventh month!" ”

Zhu Guobi, who got the news, hurriedly promised that he would ensure the security of Nanjing when the emperor arrived.

"Also, Baoguo Gong, are there still thousands of family members stationed in the city to guard the Eight Banners? You take a good look at them, these people must not run away, the emperor is of great use! ”

got Qian Qianyi's hint that Zhu Guobi was in full bloom, the emperor was ready to do something to the family of the Eight Banners, he was oppressed enough by those people a few years ago, and now the feng shui is taking turns, and finally it is his turn to raise his eyebrows, and he is happy that the silver he gave as a gift can be recovered.

Zhu Guobi and Wang Duo returned to the city to organize the ruffians to clean up the families of the Manchu Eight Banners, and Qian Qianyi sent the two away and returned to Zhu Hongsan, and told Zhu Hongsan about Zhu Guobi and Wang Duo.

Zhu Hongsan heard that these nobles actually gave him 40,000 taels of silver, and thought in his heart, he didn't expect these nobles to be so rich, it seems that it is a good way to make a fortune.

Qian Qianyi knew that Zhu Hongsan had placed Jinyi guards everywhere, and he didn't know if he knew if he had received the 10,000 taels of silver just now, so it was better to tell the truth.

"Your Majesty, just now Zhu Guobi took a total of 50,000 taels of silver and gave 10,000 taels to the minister, saying that he asked the minister to say a few good words for them!" After Qian Qianyi finished speaking, he took out his 10,000 taels and put it in front of Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the 10,000 taels of silver and smiled, he had long known that Qian Qianyi had suffered 10,000 taels.

"Mr. Qian, since this is given to you by Zhu Guobi, you can accept it, I know, even if I pay you back!"

Qian Qianyi didn't pretentiously hear Zhu Hongsan say this, put away the 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and then retreated.

The next day, that is, on the first day of November, Zhu Hongsan led all the troops, five divisions, and Li Chengdong's 30,000 cavalry, plus 50,000 strong men, a total of 170,000 horses, and rushed towards Nanjing.

The Nanjing city wall was built in the seventeenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang's adviser Zhu Sheng put forward the suggestion of "building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowing down the king", and the construction of the Nanjing Ming city wall officially kicked off.

The Ming City Wall of Nanjing is the only city wall in the capital city of the Great Unification Dynasty built in the south of the Yangtze River in Chinese history. Ming Nanjing City in the six dynasties on the basis of the construction of Kangcheng on the basis of the construction and expansion, east of the stone city, south through Qinhuai, north with Xuanwu Lake, Zhu Yuanzhang spent more than 20 years, mobilize the country one, three guards, five provinces, twenty-eight prefectures, one hundred and fifty-two counties a total of more than 200,000 craftsmen to build the city wall, at the same time in the five provinces to burn city bricks, built an area of 43 square kilometers, the city wall of the capital is 80 miles long, including the six dynasties of Jiankang City and the Southern Tang Dynasty of Jinling City, more than 20 meters high, the narrowest part of the upper width of three meters, the widest part of more than 20 meters, The lower width is about 15 meters, there are more than 13,000 battlements, and there are 200 nests.

In the 23rd year of the Ming Hongwu Dynasty in Nanjing City, after the completion of the construction of the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang and the ministers and princes of the Ming Dynasty ascended to Zhongshan to observe the shape of Nanjing City, and Zhu Di, the fourth son of the emperor, put forward the potential concern that "the cannons on the Purple Mountain are aimed at the Forbidden City". At the same time, Yuhuatai in the south of Nanjing and Shogunate Mountain in the north remained outside the city, which was extremely unfavorable to the defense of the capital. Then Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the construction of the outer Guo city wall, in order to make up for the shortcomings of the capital city wall, the outer Guo is known as one hundred and eighty li, the brick part of each section adds up to about forty li, the height of the outer earth city is about ten meters, and the width of the upper is eight meters.
