Stepping into Jinling City, known as the number one capital in the southeast, Liang Chongxin even felt that every brick, green tiles, and pillar of this city was soaked in the civilization of the Tanghe people bit by bit. Zijin Mountain, Qingliang Mountain, Mochou Lake, Xuanwu Lake, Jiming Temple, Qixia Temple, Confucius Temple, Wuyi Lane, Jiangxinzhou, Yanzijie, and dragons and tigers. Every place name has its unique and distant charm and historical origins. If we talk about the long history, this Jinling City was even longer than the imperial capital Zhongzhou. However, when the heroes competed for hegemony at that time, it was hard to say who was orthodox.

As a soldier, Liang Chongxin attaches most importance to the city defense facilities, which are known as the largest water and land fortress in the southeast. It should be said that the defense system of Jinling City is the first-class imperialist empire. The Shanjiang River has entered the tail section of the vast road and deep water. The vast Shanjiang River passes around the city in front of Jinling City, firmly sealing the south gate of Jinling City. This area outside the south gate of Jinling City naturally became the busiest and important river port dock on the Shanjiang River. A tributary also entered the city from the northwest corner, and finally came out of the city and poured into the main stream of the Shanjiang River in the southwest corner. This river is the famous imperial first river - Qinhuai River.

The Qinhuai River injected the Shan River in the southwest corner, and formed an angle of about 45 degrees with the Shan River. The two sluice gates at the end of the angle firmly locked the river, which became the base of the Jinling Water Camp directly under the Imperial Navy Fleet. The Stone City at the foot of Qingliang Mountain in the west of the city has been a fortress since ancient times, firmly stalking the westward water and land routes. The giant catapults on the Stone City can not only firmly block the main throat route to Jinling City, but also cover the water along the Shan River into the strike range, which not only forms a horn with the Jinling City Wall, but also embraces both water and land routes, which can be said to be the backbone of defense.

Good waterway conditions provide a natural defense system for Jinling City, and Jinling City does not ignore the defense on land. The high and thick city walls surround Jinling City from three sides. The specifications are completely according to the standards of the imperial capital. From a certain perspective, the urban defense system of Jinling City is even better than that of the imperial capital.

However, a good defense system does not mean that the city can be as solid as a decent. When the news of Luyang and Pengcheng falling one after another reached Jinling, anyone knew that Jinling had no value for defense. The entire Donghai County was already under the control of the Western Frontier Army. The Northern Army trapped Yanyun was difficult to even protect itself, not to mention that Jinling was alone in a corner. It would be meaningless to continue to resist stubbornly. Choosing to open the city and surrender should be the wisest choice. After all, it is all civil wars. Whether it is the King of Qin or King of Yan, they are all internal affairs of the people of Tanghe. There is no need to fight to the death. This view seems to be becoming more and more popular now.

The surrender of Jinling marked that except for Situ Tai's own fiefdom Yanyun County and the imperial capital, other parts of the empire had been surrendered to the rule of Qin King Li Wufeng. A broken Yanyun County and an imperial capital that didn't know where to go had nothing to do with the overall situation. The rest seemed to need to be solved more through political negotiations rather than force. Many people think so, but this does not mean that everyone has such a plan.

Before receiving the order from the Qin Palace, Liang Chongxin and Cheng Dayou were not ready to stop there. Compared with Cheng Dayou's belligerent personality, Liang Chongxin felt that it was safe to hand over the First Legion and Eighth Legion to Cheng Dayou. Liang Chongxin always felt that perhaps a heavy blow was needed to make him completely clear about the situation. This was the consensus between Liang Chongxin and Cheng Dayou, but Cheng Dayou hoped to be able to plant the Jinpeng Banner all the way to the Okhotsk area. The Duoduan people could not not pay the price for their stupidity and greed. Cheng Dayou always believed that since he did something wrong, he should be punished, and there was no exception.

Only one direct corps of the First Legion was retained in Jinling City. The First Division was stationed in Luyang to maintain its majesty against the imperial capital. The other four divisions, plus the four divisions of the Eighth Legion, had set off overnight to the north and met Cheng Dayou, who was impatiently waiting in Jeju. Liang Chongxin did not think that there was anything worthy of Jinling City. In his opinion, the battle situation in the East China Sea can be described in the words sweeping, and the current situation in the East China Sea can be expressed in the four words "Heqing Haiyan". The end of Situ Tai's rule, both the gentry and the industrial and commercial classes, showed no less than the happiness of the people in Jiangnan, and the poison suffered by the East China Sea was no less than that of Jiangnan, especially in Jinling, Pengcheng and Dengzhou, industrial and commercial relations, and of course, some families with special interests with Situ Tai.

Of course Liang Chongxin knew what was the purpose of being left in Jinling by His Highness the King of Qin. Before the Governor of the East China Sea appointed by Xijiang took office, Liang Chongxin knew that he had to play a role that Cui Wenxiu had played many times, clearing out the forces that needed to be eliminated or eradicated, and digging out the huge amount of funds needed after the establishment of the empire for the already stretched Western Xinjiang finance. This somewhat shameful task could only be carried out by the military declared to be in a state of military control. Liang Chongxin certainly knew that this evil person was not easy to be a bad person, and for the local government to be more conducive to the work in the future.

Many times, these infamous were only borne by the military. Originally, Liang Chongxin hoped that Cheng Dayou would take on this glorious and great task, but His Highness of the King of Qin clearly specified that he would have to operate it himself in his order. Perhaps he was still scared of Cui Wenxiu's past evil deeds. Cheng Dayou's style was even more similar to Cui Wenxiu in the minds of His Highness of Qin. This was probably the consciousness of His Highness of Qin. His Highness of Qin was unwilling to see the recurrence of the Western Regions or Northern Luzon incidents in the hinterland of the empire. The negative impact that could not be eliminated in a short time.

Before the new governor took office, the Donghai County County Magistrate's Office naturally became the camp of Liang Chongxin, the leader of the garrison. Speaking of the leader of the garrison, Liang Chongxin realized that he only had a direct corps of the First Legion, which was about 4,000 people. This was a bit thin for the large mansion of Jinling, which had more than 300,000 people. Even in the city of Jinling, the population exceeded 300,000. Such a huge city, and it had just taken over the management, leaving only more than 4,000 troops. Even Long Zixing, as his deputy, felt that it was a bit risky and suggested that a division be kept stationed.

However, Liang Chongxin was not worried that the people in the East China Sea were different from other regions in the north, especially the land of Jinling and Jiangnan, and the power of industrial and commercial power was far superior to that of other prefectures, and was no less than that of the prefectures in Jiangnan. If it weren't for Situ Tai's army suppression, I was afraid that civil unrest would have erupted in Jinling. Now Jiangnan has been in peace and stability. Western Xinjiang has finally stepped into the East China Sea. The local industrial and commercial gentry were very happy and the people were willing to submit. Even if someone wanted to have any intention, he could not create momentum.

The County Magistrate's Office is located at the intersection of Gongyuan Street opposite the famous Wuyi Lane. Although these two streets are not the most prosperous and lively place in Jinling City, they are the political core of the entire Jinling and even the East China Sea. The Donghai County Magistrate's Office and the Jinling City Capital occupy the ends of Gongyuan Street. In addition to these two administrative agencies, the rest of the entire Gongyuan Street are also a series of official institutions including the Empire Southeast Salt and Liquor Monopoly Office, the Empire Southeast Academy, and the Jinling Police Station. Now, this Gongyuan Street is a little popular because of the garrison, such as the City Magistrate's Office and the Salt and Liquor Monopoly Office, which are already deserted and deserted. However, the Jinling Police Station has unexpectedly become lively, even surpassing any other place.

The entry of the troops in the Western Xinjiang region did not completely replace the functions of the Jinling Police Station. Liang Chongxin knew clearly that in such a huge city, the saying that the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake is a true portrayal. It does not mean that the Western Xinjiang cannot control the situation here. In the face of the pressure of the strong military power in Western Xinjiang, no one would be so mentally retarded that he wanted to challenge the dominance of Western Xinjiang. This sentence actually means that if you want to completely control the entire Jinling City, you have to rely on some original local institutions and forces. In Jinling City, the Jinling Police Station is the first to play this role.

The middle-aged man sitting opposite Liang Chongxin is Wei Yipeng, the current director of the Jinling Police Department. A veteran who has been immersed in the Jinling officialdom for decades. After the entire Jinling Mansion entered the military control state, the officials from the county magistrate's office to the city magistrate's office were either sent away home to wait for investigation, or temporarily stopped their duties and drink tea. Only he and his subordinates were retained by Liang Chongxin to make an exception and continue their own work.

Liang Chongxin knew that the situation in Jinling Prefecture was not very different from other places. It not only connects north and south, but also is located at the critical junction of the Fanjiang River. From here, you can go south to the south of the Yangtze River through the canal, go north to Dengzhou, east to the East Ocean, and west to the imperial capital. The forces here are also mixed. The land nobles in the north have a very deep foundation here, and the industrial and commercial class came from behind by the influence of Jiangnan. In addition, this place was once an ancient capital of many dynasties. There were countless royal nobles left over from various dynasties, and almost casually recruit a tea guest in Jinling City. You will find that the eight generations of his ancestors were likely descendants of a certain dynasty, or even relatives of the princes and princes.
