Lishui County Magistrate Peng Guang just sent away the Ming army and other men yesterday, and today welcoming the Qing army.

Peng Guang was sweating coldly when he heard the news from the yamen runners. The Qing army was different from the Ming army yesterday. Yesterday's Ming army had strict military disciplines and did not enter the city at all. Apart from preparing a lot of meat, he had no bad record. The most important thing was that he gave money. The exquisitely crafted silver coins were very beautiful. Peng Guang now has a lot of them in his pocket. Of course, these were all kickbacks given by the large pig farmers. But Peng Guang knew the military discipline of the Qing army clearly. It would be good not to kill people.

Thinking of this, Peng Guang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took off the Ming Dynasty government that he had just worn for a day, and put on the Qing Dynasty government that he had taken off for a short time. Fortunately, the Qing Dynasty government uniforms were not lost at that time, and it seemed that the Ming Dynasty government uniforms should be preserved well.

Peng Guang confessed that his family would put down the Ming Dynasty's official uniforms, and then he took the county magistrate and county magistrate and other officials out of the city and became a surrender again.

After opening the city gate, Peng Guang found that a large number of Qing cavalry had been waiting for a long time, and the leader was a first-rank military officer.

Peng Guang stepped forward and knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know who this general is, what kind of job is there to come to my Lishui County!"

The Qing general opposite was Li Lutai. After coming out of Maoshan, he and Hong Chengchou separated and brought Zarafenga and the 5,000-Eight Banners cavalry to Lishui. Li Lutai and Zarafenga agreed to wait until the Lishui city gate opened and rushed in. Now he saw a county magistrate kneeling in front of him. Without saying a word, Li Lutai stepped forward and cut off Peng Guang's head. When several officials in Lishui County saw that the Qing Dynasty began to kill people, they were so scared that they stood up and ran behind. Zarafenga's personal soldiers shot these people down with arrows.

Li Rutai shouted to the five thousand Manchu Eight Banners behind him: "The General has an order! All the Han people in Lishui City choose strong people to stay, and the rest will be killed without mercy, and kill them for me!"

The Eight Banners of Manchuria are a military organization. The entire Manchuria nation is a soldier. Although the Eight Banners who stayed in Nanjing are all second-line troops, their combat capabilities are not bad. Some of the veterans have fought many life-and-death battles. Now, when the Lord General made them massacre the city, they were all happy and shouted: "My mother is not hot, Baniha!" The Manchu language means "Thank you, General!" After all, Li Lutai said that as long as he is young and middle-aged, he does not want property, and money will become the welfare of these Eight Banners of Manchuria. Naturally, he would like to thank Li Lutai.

After Li Shutai's order, all the Qing troops dismounted and rushed in before the city gate was closed, they began to kill and set fire everywhere. These guys were very experienced in doing this kind of thing. They first sent hundreds of people to guard the four city gates, and then divided the county town into four parts and started to rob them.

Li Rutai looked at Zarafenga and his personal soldiers beside him, and they all wanted to try. Li Rutai smiled and said, "Sir Zha, you can go and have fun too, just have me!"

Zarafeng's heart was already itchy, but he was the leader no matter how he said that, so it was not good to go in and grab things with a group of subordinates. Now, after hearing what Li Lutai said, he happily took people into the city.

Seeing Zarafenga enter the city, Li Lutai cursed in his heart: A reckless guy, can such a thing control the Eight Banners? It seems that he will be replaced.

Li Shutai was labeled as the Han military flag because his father was Li Yongfang. This made him very dissatisfied because his other half of his blood was noble blood of the royal family, and his grandfather was Nurhaci. Because of this, he was subject to the control of this fool Zarafenga, which really annoyed him.

However, the general Hong Chengchou agreed to him that as long as the Nanjing Defense Battle was won, he would submit a letter to appoint him as the governor of Zhejiang. He was a first-rank senior, much better than the current position of General Jiangning, which is neither up nor down.

Li Rutai was imagining his future outside the city, and Lishui City became a different person. Lishui residents did not expect that the Qing army would massacre in a general manner when they entered the city. When the Qing soldiers first entered the city, some people were still preparing to welcome them on both sides of the road, but they did not expect that the Qing swords and guns were greeted by the Qing Dynasty.

Lishui is a county town, but because it is close to Nanjing, the population is still relatively dense, with a total of more than 56,000 people. After the Qing army's killing in one morning, there were less than 20,000 people left, and the other elderly and weak were basically killed.

At noon, it started to rain lightly in the sky, and the Qing army's massacre was basically over. The Qing army packed hundreds of trucks with some stolen gold, silver and fine soft goods, and left Lishui with the cannon fodder of 20,000 people.

At this time, Zhu Hongsan had just led his army across the Qinhuai River and entered the periphery of Nanjing City.

There is no need to mention the name of the Qinhuai River. It has two tributaries, north and south. It originates from Jurong County in the north and Lishui County in the south. It gathers on the Fangshan outside Nanjing to form the Qinhuai River, and then passes through Nanjing to enter the Yangtze River.

Without Qian Qianyi's explanation, Zhu Hongsan didn't know that the small broken river in front of him was the famous Qinhuai River.

"Three gentlemen, is this the famous Qinhuai River? I really don't believe it!"

Qian Qianyi lived in Nanjing for many years and was a regular visitor to various brothels on the Qinhuai River. He heard the emperor joked and said, "Your Majesty, this is just the Jurong River, a tributary of the Qinhuai River. It can only be called the Qinhuai River after it converges with the Lishui River! However, even the Qinhuai River in Nanjing does not have the rushing momentum of the northern river. The Qinhuai River is famous because it is the Qinhuai River in Nanjing! Nanjing is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and it has been one of the important cities in the south of the Yangtze River since the Western Zhou Dynasty. However, the real development was after the Yongjia Rebellion. The Jin Dynasty royal family flew south and brought a large number of population and technology in the Central Plains, so Nanjing slowly developed. After the Southern Song Dynasty, the south gradually became an important grain production area. After the development of aristocratic families, a large number of literati and poets appeared, and Nanjing became the "Six Dynasties Golden Fen Land, Jinling Imperial Prefecture"!

"The Jinling Emperor State is a very good saying. Taizu occupied Nanjing first, and then "Build the city high, slowly become king, and accumulate grain!" Only then did he achieve hegemony! I decided to learn from Emperor Taizu, and also build the city high, slowly become king, and accumulate grain. When the power is strong, one will pacify the north and eliminate the Qing Dynasty!"

Seeing that Zhu Hongsan was full of confidence, Tong Yangjia was embarrassed to attack him. Can it be compared with the end of Yuan Dynasty hundreds of years ago? But now it has not even been defeated in Nanjing. It’s a bit early to say these words, so I’ll talk about them later!

At this moment, it started to rain lightly in the sky. Zhu Hongsan saw that it was not good. His army was full of firearms, and his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced when it rained.

"Come here, I'll send an order to Zhao Guodong, and ask him to find a place on the other side of the river to camp after crossing the river. I won't leave today!"

After Zhu Hongsan said that, he turned around and asked Qian Qianyi: "Mr. Qian, where is this place and how far is it from Nanjing!"

"Go back to Your Majesty, after crossing the Qinhuai River, you will be Chunhua Town. You have entered the boundary of Nanjing. It is still twenty miles away from the outer wall of Nanjing!"

"Very good. Let's take a break tonight. If there is no movement from the Qing army tomorrow, we will attack Nanjing directly!"

At this time, Tong Yangjia whispered from the side: "Your Majesty, it's better to go to visit Xiaoling first when you go to Nanjing!"

Tong Yangjia's words reminded Zhu Hongsan, yes! Go first to rectify his reputation, this is a big deal! It is a trivial matter to occupy Nanjing with this comparison. After all, Zhu Hongsan is not as good as Zhu Youlang in blood, but regaining Nanjing and paying the Xiaoling will make Zhu Hongsan's reputation surpass Zhu Youlang and become a real legal government!

"Yes! Mr. Tong knows me! Go to visit Xiaoling first!"

Zhu Hongsan was afraid that he would not be as good as Zhu Youlang in this way, so he touched his beard and thought of a plan.

"Three gentlemen, how can you say I said that I was the blood of Emperor Jianwen in front of Emperor Taizu?"

This sentence is said by Lei Tong Yangjia, Qian Qianyi, and Jiang Yueguang.

As a traditional scholar, Jiang Yueguang really looked down on Zhu Hongsan's face of selling his ancestors and seeking honor. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, as long as you go to visit Xiaoling, you will be ahead of King Gui. There is no need to do these things, and people will find that they are not beautiful!"

Tong Yangjia also disagreed with Zhu Hongsan's actions: "Your Majesty, Emperor Jianwen has been missing for hundreds of years. There are many explanations for his whereabouts, but there is no such thing as saying that he escaped to Huguang. This is really unreliable!"

Qian Qianyi had different opinions. Although he was a great scholar, he had no moral integrity that scholars should have. In order to protect his power and status, he could do anything. Now, hearing Zhu Hongsan say this, Qian Qianyi said on the side: "It's not impossible to do this. Your Majesty, if you want to be a minister, you can endorse you!"

This is why Qian Qianyi is going to use his reputation as a scholar, and publicly commit fraud for Zhu Hongsan. Jiang Yueguang was anxious at the side and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty must not. Although King Gui now doubts your identity as a member of the Chu family, it is really true. As long as Nanchang is liberated, you will definitely be able to restore your majesty's innocence! However, such things as impersonating Emperor Jianwen's bloodline are fake. Even if Lord Qian does it, he will be fake. If it is fake, he will be exposed. It will be even more troublesome at that time! Therefore, I think it is not true to seek truth from facts. As long as I pay homage to Xiaoling and take the initiative in politics, we will definitely win, and there is no need to do those evil ways!"

Zhu Hongsan felt right when he heard Jiang Yueguang say this. He was a little panicked by Zhu Youlang in recent years and began to seek medical treatment in a hurry. You must know that he was determined to be Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu didn't say that he changed his household registration to Emperor Hui of Han. Wasn't he going to be a good thing? It seems that he doesn't have to look too far at the issue of bloodline. Now in this society, he is the old man, and bloodline is useless!

Zhu Hongsan, who made up his mind, nodded and said, "It was Mr. Jiang who woke up the dreamer with one word. I was confused by that bastard Zhu Youlang just now. My bloodline is the most precious, so don't recognize me!"

Qian Qianyi wanted to make a splash, but he was interrupted by Jiang Yueguang and felt very regretful. Unexpectedly, Zhu Hongsan continued, "Mr. Qian, there is another thing to bother you. You need to write this tribute to visit Xiaoling. You are Tanhua. Such a great thing needs to be done by a talented man!"

When Qian Qianyi heard Zhu Hongsan say this, he immediately turned sadness into joy. Writing a sacrificial text for the emperor was a supreme glory, and why was it such a political programmatic sacrificial text.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely write a bunch of flowers to satisfy Emperor Taizu!"

"Also, don't write too much, try to use vernacular, you know I don't recognize words very much!"
