Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty: Expedition
A month after the secret order was issued, the division fleet that rushed to the Jiangsu waters day and night finally appeared at the end of the horizon. Yang Rang, the governor of the Beiyang Navy, and Liu Guoxuan, the governor of the Dongyang Navy, did not dare to stay. After landing, they immediately rode on a fast horse and ran to Nanjing.
Most of the Nanjing Imperial City has been repaired. The craftsmen completely imitated the system of the Beijing Imperial City. The palaces are staggered. The south is the Meridian Gate, the east is the East is the East Huamen, the west is the West Huamen, the north is the Xuanwu Gate, the entrance to the Meridian Gate, the Fengtian Gate, the main hall, the Fengtian Hall, the left and right are the Wen Tower, the Wu Tower, the Huagai Hall, the Jinshen Hall, the Ganqing Palace, the Kunning Palace, and the six palaces in the East and West. Later, some buildings of the Forbidden City were built, such as Taimiao, Taisheji, Wansuishan, Taiyechi, the Ten Wang Mansion, and the Emperor Tai.
The Sun Mansion, the five government offices and six ministries, the bells and drum towers are all based on the name of the Beijing Imperial Palace, the Jiumen Tower, the urn city and the arrow tower; the corner towers are built at four corners of the city; a archway is erected outside the city gate; all the wooden bridges on the moat are converted into stone bridges, with sluices under the bridge, and the river bank is built with bricks and stones. The entire imperial city is backed by Fugui Mountain in Zijin Mountain, and the inner court is built on the fill-up Yanque Lake, and huge stones are used to penetrate wooden stakes and lay the bottom to prevent sinking.
In the newly decorated Fengtian Hall, all civil and military officials were arranged in two rows according to their grades, and they were clustered with new official robes and military uniforms. Everyone looked solemnly and looked at the emperor above Danbao. Unlike the usual court discussions, no one whispered or talked about it today, and everyone held their breath.
Zhu Jun did not speak, and he focused on a memorial in his hand. This was a joint letter from the Yuyuan Army brought by the Beizhen Fushi from the north of the Yangtze River and some surrendered Manchus in the Qing Dynasty who secretly planned to revive the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Due to limited conditions and in order to facilitate confidentiality, the paper was yellowed straw paper, which had long been crumpled into a ball and stuffed into the spies' cloth shoes to bring the ground. Therefore, it emitted a smell and was wrinkled. Zhu Jun raised the paper in his hand, and wrote in various fonts on the paper in densely.
"The fall of China, the loyal and righteous people are like crucians crossing the river. Who dares to say that I have no descendants in Yashan, if my loyal and brave soldiers cannot reach the city of Jiannu, wouldn't I let millions of loyal and righteous people hide in the Qing court seek the way to save the country and drive away the enemy? Is there a lot of people looking forward to it? I have decided that I want the Tatars to know the sharpness of the soldiers of the three armies of the Ming Dynasty, and to give enough confidence to the officials, merchants, scholars and farmers in the land that fell, and to encircle and annihilate a group of Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners in one fell swoop, so that the people of the world know that the so-called "Manchu people are unrivaled" is purely absurd."
Liu Guoxuan and Yang Rang had already walked from the front of the military officer to the hall: "My emperor ordered the world to be the vanguard."
"Okay." Zhu Jun slapped the table, and a thunder sounded like a thunder in the ground, which shocked the civil and military officials in Fengtian Hall torture: "The Beiyang Navy defended Tianjin to support it, and the Dongyang Navy Marine Corps raided Beijing City. From now on, let's go and prepare quickly."
Yang Rang looked younger than Liu Guoxuan and said, "Your Majesty, the Beiyang Navy Marines are training in northern Korea to adapt to the cold winter in the north. The Beiyang Navy should be raided."
Zhu Jun turned his gaze on Liu Guoxuan. Zhu Jun only knew that this person was quite cautious and a talent for naval battles. He didn't know much about other places. Therefore, Zhu Jun was more willing to use Liu Guoxuan to complete this mission. After all, he broke into the enemy's hinterland, and the dangers could be imagined.
Liu Guoxuan said: "There is nothing scary when the weather is cold and the ground is frozen. The Dongyang Navy guarantees to complete the mission."
Zhu Jun nodded: "Yang Aiqing, let Liu Guoxuan go this time first. If you have a chance next time, I will take you as the pioneer."
"As for your order." Yang Rang bowed helplessly and turned around and left the hall with Liu Guoxuan.
The atmosphere in Fengtian Hall seemed a little relaxed. The next step was to entrust the departments to cooperate closely. The Ministry of Revenue was to provide the army with food and grass to fight for land and food. The Ministry of Rites was ready to issue imperial edicts to some officials who surrendered to the land. The Ministry of War presented a more detailed combat plan and was ready to reward after the war.
At the end, Zhu Jun announced his retreat with a tired look on his face. After the officials shouted for a long time, they came out one after another. Zhu Jun waved to the general Fang Yizhi to stay. There was only one king and one minister left in the entire open Fengtian Golden Hall. Zhu Jun seemed a little worried at this moment. This was definitely a military adventure. If he could win, although he could not get the city and land, he was very encouraging to the people. The Manchus in the north made a lot of publicity about how they defeated the Ming army. The Southern Ming Dynasty was not worth mentioning.
Although some local people do not believe these remarks. But they believe that they still believe that the Han people still account for the majority. The Manchus have only been in the pass for twenty years. The rumors of the unrivaled land are still circling in the hearts of the Han people. Although the Ming army has won consecutive victories in the military battle against the Manchus, it has never had any contact with the Manchus and Mongolian cavalry. Most of the enemies in the Jiangnan area are green camps. If they can enter Beijing in one fell swoop and annihilate some of the enemies while the Manchus have not yet made preparations. Then the Manchus and Han people are land between the Manchus and the Han people.
The comparison is extremely shocking. This time, it may not be a time to recover losses: struggle, but a mental battle. A psychological oppression. When Kangxi knew that a Ming army of about 10,000 people could suddenly appear under the city of Beijing as if no one had entered? What would he think? When the Han people in the north dared not resist, they knew that the Ming army could land at any port at any time. They could expel and slaughter the crowd like slaughtering pigs and sheep? What would these Han people in the originally cowardly think?
The Han people were by no means obeying this so-called prosperous era from the bottom of their hearts. More than ten or twenty years ago, when these vicious wolves rode fast horse dancers into Yanyun Guanzhong, how many wives and children were separated? How many were driven out of their homes? The land of the inherent land became an imperial manor and a manor full of land. How many people crawled and looked at the high-headed and large land and walked past the horse. How heavy should the Han people in this world have been to hold on to the heavenly kingdom and the barbarians in the four wildernesses be to be so humiliated.
Is there really no resistance? There is a land. The anti-Qing and reviving uprisings in the early Qing Dynasty were as large as before. Unfortunately, these people did not become righteous men. Instead, they were splashed with dirty water. The land left for future generations was just some people called bandits and bandits.
Zhu Jun wanted this effect, which made the enemy scared and the Han people no longer timid.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about the success or failure of this time?" Fang Yizhi saw the concern on Zhu Jun's face. At this time, he had already started to grow his hair, and a small short hair was sparsely grown on his head, but he was like an old monk sitting there. He was only one cassock and could be a monk again.
