Chapter 222: It Must Be Called Nanjing [Ask for Collection]

[4500+ big chapters, ask for collection]

"Yo, what kind of illness is Mr. Peng, how do you hammer your chest hard......"

A voice with mockery and ridicule came from behind Peng Zhongrui's ears. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This voice is very familiar to him, it is the voice of Liu Wen, one of the five young eunuchs of the cadre school.

This man was a loyal dog left by the Metropolitan Governor in the cadre school, and he had always been mean to the captured Manchu officials who insisted on not surrendering. In the winter of last year, Du Yuan, the former Xincai Zhi County of Runing Prefecture, couldn't stand his stinging words, and the whole family died cleanly with that 'cigarette poison' at night.

Lushan has a bitter cold winter, and there is more coal burning in the room, and they also produce coal here. According to the propaganda of the General's Mansion, there must be an opening in the room for ventilation when sleeping at night, otherwise there will be too much smoke and poison, and people will die unconsciously in their sleep.

If Du Yuan hadn't left a suicide note and scolded Liu Wen to the fullest, someone might have regarded the death of his family of four as accidental poisoning by cigarette poisoning.

But this incident did not hit Liu Wen at all. This is more like his glory, the harshness of his enemies, which proves his absolute loyalty to the General's Palace.

Liu Wen was not a high-ranking young eunuch in the school at that time, he was just an inspector, and the superintendent of the cadre school was personally served by the general, in fact, he was not in charge at all, and he had no time to take care of it, and the main things were discussed and handled by the five young eunuchs.

There is a junior supervisor in each of the three departments of military politics and law, and then there is the engineering department, which is the comprehensive department of engineering construction and munitions manufacturing, design, and steelmaking, etc., and there is a young supervisor supervising it, and now this person is Liu Wen, and the previous person has been promoted to the general's mansion. Finally, there is the school's discipline and logistical chores, including the management of funds, etc., and there is a young supervisor supervising it, and the five of them are the top existence of this huge cadre school.

Usually, the five of them discussed and dealt with things, and some disputes were not reported as much as possible, voting by a show of hands, and the minority obeyed the majority.

Peng Zhongrui is an ordinary teacher in the Department of Political Science, well, the 'teacher' of the cadre school is divided into five levels: teaching, teacher, senior teacher and full and associate professor, Peng Zhongrui is only a second class now, and people like him have a conflict with Liu Wen, and it is definitely Peng Zhongrui who suffers.

His long hair was tied up in a bun, and Liu Wen wore a wide robe and large sleeves, a dress that became more and more common among the officials of the Fu Han army. Chen Hui and Chen Ming, the two giants, are dressed like this, and the two 'respectable' left and right military advisors of the Seventh Duke and the Ninth Duke are all wearing the crown all day long. What square scarves, Dongpo scarves, Zhuangzi scarves, Eryi scarves, Wanzi scarves, and Yishan crowns, fiddling with their rather sparse hair in different ways, covering the brighter brain door. The two old gentlemen are old, and even if they don't shave their hair, the hair on their heads can't grow so quickly like Liu Wen. And the former Ming clothes rose in the general's mansion, and the two elders felt that their big bright heads were really not good-looking. Whether it is a square scarf, a Dongpo scarf, a Zhuangzi scarf, an Eryi scarf, a Wanzi scarf, a wing good crown, etc., it can cover the bright heads that make them ashamed.

What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom. The high-level officials of the General's Mansion wore it like this, and the subordinate officials and officials of the General's Mansion also followed suit one by one. If the roots of the General's Mansion can be completely established, so that the common people believe that they cannot die or be defeated, such clothing can quickly replace the folk robes and horse coats.

Even the most ordinary people, short brown will quickly prevail.

Peng Zhongrui was still wearing a cyan robe, glanced at Liu Wen, and left without saying a word, Liu Wen flicked his sleeves behind him, and frowned in disgust at Peng Zhongrui, who was as stinky and hard as a stone in a pit. Since the news came that most of the overseers went to Jiangnan, a few more teachers in the cadre school have been 'naturalized' this month, but Peng Zhongrui alone has no signs of softening at all. It is rightfully regarded as a thorn in Liu Wen's side.

But he can't be too 'deceitful too much', it is true that he Liu Wen is the person who was put in the school by the Metropolitan Governor, and Peng Zhongrui was also sent back to Lushan by the Metropolitan Governor's special order, this person is a rare good official. If he chooses 'naturalization', Liu Wen will immediately greet him with a smile. But he didn't. In addition, after Peng Zhongrui came to school, he somehow got acquainted with Gang Gongzi, and was regarded as a mentor and friend by Gang Gongzi.

Chen Gang has long ceased to be 'not wrong again', he was born a member of the Chen family, and died as a ghost of the Chen family, and now he is serving the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Qing court can't tolerate him.

Chen Gang is currently working in the Ministry of Culture and Education, and Chen Hui knew that this son had congenital deficiencies in handling general affairs, so he let him enter the Ministry of Culture and Education, a place that was relatively suitable for him. Chen Gang also knew about his family's own affairs, and from time to time he came to the cadre school to audit, because he knew very well that he had spent more than 20 years of his life studying the Four Books and the Five Classics, and the Four Books and Five Classics were the most useless in real matters.

There is a dark tide surging in the General's Mansion now, and the definition of Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics is self-cultivation and self-enrichment, or is it used to govern the country and dominate the world? Are these things for academic purposes? Or is it for official use? Chen Gang, as the core figure of the Chen family, knows very well that the General's Mansion is negating the system that China has inherited for one or two thousand years.

His father and his half-brother are digging into the roots of Confucianism that have been passed down for thousands of years. Separate being a scholar from being an official!

Hehe. If Confucian learning is really separated from being an official, Confucianism is really going to be hehe.

Since Chen Gang raised troops in the Chen family, he has experienced fright and surprise again and again, and the influence of the Four Books and Five Classics on him is very deep.

Besides, after going through the process of the rise of the General's Mansion and seeing the faces of so many officials and slippery officials, Chen Gang no longer realizes that he has learned from books, and he has no way to deal with real things in the world, and others can't get into Xiucai.

can be admitted to Xiucai with his own ability, Chen Gang is definitely a genius in a certain aspect. In this era, the number of talented people in Lushan County is less than that of the famous college students in Lushan County in the 21st century, they are all 'scholars', and to a certain extent, Chen Gang is also a talent. After throwing away the anachronistic things in his head and looking away, he was also planning for his future.

……

Jiangning City.

It's already April. Chen Ming has been stationed in Nanjing for a month. Zhejiang's reinforcements arrived, they rushed from Suzhou along the canal to Jingkou, and united with Jiangyin's Wu Bida waterway to attack, but the Benfu Han army first defended and then attacked, and fled in defeat.

Duan Xiulin, the governor of Zhejiang, who led the troops, was also a very good official, he was a native of Shaanxi and served as an official in Zhejiang. By Yanzhou thousand general, ascended to Wenzhou general soldiers. Before and after, he has been in charge of his family for more than 40 years. Originally from Yulin County, Shaanxi Province, there is no inch of land. During his 30-year tenure in Wenzhou, Qianlong bought a house in Ningbo Mansion and lived with his dependents. can be regarded as having a private mansion of his own.

Before being awarded the commander, Qianlong also specially ordered to investigate and explore. Because Duan Xiulin's actions are really unbelievable. As a result, it was not found out that he had embezzled, bribed, and eaten empty salaries, and was rewarded by Qianlong. Although the governor of Zhejiang has jurisdiction over the five towns of land and water, and Duan Xiulin can only draw up 10,000 people to go north, which is quite unright, but the Zhejiang green camp fought quite fiercely at the beginning.

They were very attentive to their offensive in the town of Dagang in Jingkou, which is west of Dantu Town, where the Grand Canal flows into the Yangtze River. It is facing Taipingzhou, which is the Yangzhong City of later generations, which is a very large Jiangxin Island. The defense line of the Fu Han army was built on the opposite side of this huge Jiangxin Island.

Relying on the mountains to establish shore defense positions, the river is strong, and the river is choked. In order to build a strong artillery fortress and transport heavy five-pound guns up this 200-meter-high mountain, as many as 67 prisoners of war were killed and disabled.

But as long as this place was in the hands of the Fu Han army for a day, the Manchu foreign naval division in Jiangyin would not dare to take a step upstream.

The complex Jiangxinzhou on the surface of the Yuanshan and Jingkou rivers formed the strongest Yangtze River defense line of the Fu Han army.

After Duan Xiulin united with Wu Bida, the first task of the Zhejiang Green Battalion was to capture Yuanshan, and they fought fiercely and bravely. The army crossed the Jiuqu River and the Taiping River, and the Fu Han army retreated at the touch of a button, making the offensive of the Zhejiang soldiers look like a bamboo. As a result, at the foot of the mountain, in the face of the real defense line of the Fu Han army, the position that was in full position, the Zhejiang Green Battalion, which ran headlong, was directly crushed by more than 30 five-jin guns and more three-jin guns of the Fu Han army.

Duan Xiulin, who fled back to Jiangyin in embarrassment, couldn't believe the scene he saw, a hundred cannons fired in unison, a hundred cannons fired in unison. The dense sound of firecrackers, there are definitely more than 100 cannons. Did the Fu Han army really have so many cannons as rumored to be? The battle seems to have become the biggest ironclad evidence of that rumor.

Duan Xiulin, the admiral who was quite a soldier's military heart, completely withered after the battle of Yuanshan.

Seriously, in the Battle of Yuanshan, Chen Ming also saw for the first time the huge power generated by the powerful cannon productivity of the Fu Han Army when there was no shortage of gunpowder. The protagonist of that battle was the cannon. Whether it is the Fu Han Army or the Zhejiang Green Battalion of more than 10,000 people, they are all supporting roles, and the latter was completely bombarded by the intensive bombardment of artillery.

At the same time, more than 20,000 people were gathered, and the Qing army that came from Huai'an to Gaoyou was also helpless in the face of the powerful artillery fire of the Fu Han army.

As a result, when the Qing army's two-way reinforcements were blocked, the Fu Han army under the city of Jiangning fought this ancient city, and there was a kind of unhurried leisure.

Five tunnels near Jinghai Temple were blasted at the same time, and the city wall in the direction of Lion Rock was blown open a gap of more than three zhang long, but the road was still impassable. Jiangnan City is not like Beijing City, the latter is a pure city, and the former is a Tushan Pass. The gate is the pass.

When the city of Nanjing was built in the former Ming Dynasty, the old system of taking square or rectangular city walls in the past was changed, and on the basis of the city of Jiankang in the Six Dynasties, the city was built according to the direction of the Nanjing mountain range and water system. The benefits of mountains and rivers, the momentum of empty rivers and lakes, and the Qinhuai River in the south is a natural moat; There is Zhongshan Mountain in the east; There is a back lake as a barrier in the north; The Hills of Sina enter the city; Form a three-dimensional military fortress with unique defensive characteristics. The city wall itself is dominated by hills and soil, and only city bricks are added in some weak defensive areas such as city gates, so it is commonly known as "earth city head".

Yifeng Gate is between the southern foot of Lion Mountain and Hydrangea Mountain, which is the main road leading to the Yangtze River in the north of Nanjing in the old days.

After the collapse of the city wall, the bricks and stones blocked the gap, Chen Ming mobilized artillery and bombarded the gap violently, and finally the tunnel and the cannon were fired at the same time, up and down, the front of the Lion Rock city wall, several layers of bricks and stones. Chen Ming took the tank battalion as the assault team, and Shi Meng was brave and brave, and personally led the team to rush in from the gap, and the Yifeng Gate was immediately broken. Later, a large army of the Fu Han army entered the city and completely controlled the situation in the north of the city.

Gao Jin led more than 10,000 remnants of the army to flee into the city. Although the south of Jiangning was conquered, the city within the city, the full city was still under the control of the banner people. Nanjing is the old city of the former Ming Imperial Palace, the city wall is extremely strong, and the fortifications are also very complete. The Taiping army in the history of time and space, when they captured Nanjing, lost thousands of elites in the attack and defense of the city. Because the Taiping army was full of slaughter, the soldiers and civilians in the city had no choice but to resist desperately. The banner soldiers and the Taiping army in the city fought to the death, the women all went to the city wall to fight the Taiping army, and the old people and children also shouted and cheered on the city wall. Therefore, the tragic situation of this battle of the city is unprecedented. Yang Xiuqing launched three strong attacks in a row, but they were all defeated, killing thousands of people, accumulating corpses and leveling the city. Of course, in the end, they also killed almost all the 20,000 or 30,000 bannermen in the city.

Chen Ming was unwilling to fight with the city. In other words, he was unwilling to kill all the 20,000 or 30,000 bannermen. Because it's so uneconomical.

Now the impression of the Fu Han Army in the minds of the banner people is not half a point better than that of the Taiping Army, or even worse. Chen Ming made more than 20,000 Jingzhou garrison bannermen in Hubei expelled from the capital's master. In the hearts of many Bannermen, this may be a greater punishment than death. It's like the Han clan driving a bad descendant out of the clan.

Moreover, less than 10,000 of the more than 20,000 Jingzhou banner people survived in the end, and there were almost no young and strong men. This is the interesting control of the Fu Han army, could it be that the young and strong men who stayed in Jingzhou came to seek revenge from the Fu Han army? After the Qing army recovered Hanyang and Wuchang, the total number of Jingzhou front bannermen gathered was less than 10,000. The two ends of the scene had to be killed, which made the Jingzhou Banner people dry up their blood.

Chen Ming wants to attack the city in a hurry, and believes that the bannermen in Nanjing City will fight to the end with the Fu Han army, and they can't do it at the head of the city, but they can fight in the streets. The Fu Han army will inevitably be killed and wounded, and in this way, the death of 20,000 or 30,000 banner people is too worthless.

Chen Ming wanted them to flee south, and then the Fu Han army was behind them, striving to defeat the military forces in the hands of Gao Jin and Rong Bao in the field battle, with the least casualties......

Since the Fu Han army began to fight Jiujiang, it has received many recruits who have surrendered, both in Anqing and southern Anhui. Jiangning is located in the dual radiation area of the Yangtze River waterway and canal, and there are not too many sailors and boatmen. During the war, these people were all unemployed, and the Fu Han Army would definitely recruit a lot of people in Nanjing. Now most of these recruits are thrown by Chen Ming into the logistics unit for training, and now is not the time to reorganize the recruits. And recruits can't be compared to valuable veterans. Besides, the Fu Han Army is now short of swords and guns, and the captured shotguns have been being transformed [Suifa] - just not fast, but the armor is indispensable. The number of troops has expanded, but there has been no substantial increase in combat effectiveness.

On the upper floor of Yuejiang, Chen Ming glanced at the city from afar, and then looked at the whole picture of the city. Jiang Ning must not be called anymore, where can he ......, "Liu Wu, do you say that the land under our feet is better called Nanjing or Jinling?" ”

Liu Wu glanced at Chen Ming, who was still intoxicated by the scenery of Yuejiang Tower. "Young master, you are confused. Of course, this place will be called Nanjing. "In this way, we can stand side by side with the city of Beijing.

"Smack!" Chen Ming patted his head, indeed, he was indeed confused. The city at your feet must be called Nanjing. I also paid a very grand tribute to the Ming Tomb before.

Beside Chen Ming, there was also a middle-aged man wearing a scarf, Liu Dezhao. is Chen Ming's cheap father-in-law, Liu Bangyun's father. He is now eating with Chen Ming's side, Chen Ming recently changed Liu Wu's position to the head of the attendant room, and Liu Dezhao worked as a clerk in the attendant room.

Regarding his identity being pressed by Liu Wu, a little hairy child, Liu Dezhao was not calm in his heart. He felt that his son-in-law was too child's play, the attendant room, a very new word, but from the perspective of its duties, this position that was very much like an errand and help should definitely not be underestimated. If the Chen family really becomes a big climate in the future, this attendant room is completely a royal walk.

Liu Dezhao looked down on Liu Wu very much, and he thought that he had completely exploded Liu Wu in terms of life and literary talent. But now he reminded himself from the bottom of his heart that he must not underestimate Liu Wu, and if possible, he must not offend Liu Wu.

Look at what Liu Wu said to Chen Ming just now, 'You are confused', outspoken, and the tone is casual and relaxed. The 'relationship' between the master and the servant is very good. (To be continued.) )
