With a series of short but not fierce battles to clear the city after it was broken, this ancient and long-standing city has now completely fallen into the control of the Taiping Army, or Zhou Huaian.

However, today's Jiangning City/Jinling City is no longer the "emperor's career" that began to be run by Sun Quan, the Emperor of the Eastern Wu, and developed through the Five Dynasties of the Southern Dynasty.

More than two hundred years ago, with Yang Guang, who was the Marshal of the Conquest of the South and King of Jinyang, the brainless fan called the command of the predecessor of Emperor Yang of Sui. In addition to the old stone city, the ancient city of Jinling, all palaces, temples, temples, temples, neighbors and private houses, government houses, government offices, government offices, and government offices, were razed to the ground and plowed into fields on the spot.

All the million households in the local area moved north to Luo, and even the Qinhuai River, which is known as the Twenty-Fourth Rail, was silted, cut off and filled. Since then, the prosperity and prosperity of the Jiangnan water transport hub and transfer center will no longer be left. Only one of the three counties that continued to the Tang Dynasty - Jiangzhou, was located, and was named "Jiang" and "Surrender" states.

The so-called emperor atmosphere of the Southern Dynasty ended here, leaving behind the "Three Poems of Jinling" in Li Bai's "The Three Poems of Jinling" in "They will be destroyed according to the human affairs, and will die eastward and Cangbo", Liu Yuxi's "Five Topics of Jinling" in "The Swallows in the Old King and Xie Hall flew into the homes of ordinary people." "The Ancient Ancients of Xisai Mountain" in "The Thousand-Hi Iron Locks Sinking at the bottom of the river, and a piece of descending banners emerged from the stones."

The majestic and majestic purple gold mountain still stands in the east of the city, witnessing the prosperity and withering of the world at the foot of the mountain; Houhu (Xuanwu Lake), which is much larger than later generations, has dim waves and few people; the river flows day and night, bypassing the empty stone city, rolling eastward; the moon rises to Qinhuai, reflecting the Zhulou Restaurant, and the businesswomen are still singing the songs of the previous dynasty; beside the Zhuque Bridge, Wang Xie’s former residence has become the homes of ordinary people;

The Six Dynasties Palaces in the past city have become ruins, with weeds and crows roaring; only the willows swaying alone in the spring breeze on the former site of Taicheng, which is slightly above the ground; next to the Rouge Well where Chen Houzhu and Zhang Lihua were hiding near Taicheng, there were grass all over the sky, and only a few people came here to quietly reminisce about the past;

On the Phoenix Platform in the west of the city, it seemed that there were several literati Xiao Shu’s cold backs, standing there, looking west on the stage, the clear river was like a training, and the setting sun turned into a gorgeous flower; by the Laolao Pavilion, there were pedestrians saying goodbye from time to time;

The Sun Chu Restaurant near the Qinhuai River became very famous because of Li Bai's arrival. Literary and poets climbed the tower to drink to drown their sorrows; standing on the rain flower platform in the south of the city, the ancient road in the setting sun was desolate; in the Waguan Temple, there were also three or two literati who came to see the "Portrait of Vimalakirti" by Gu Kaizhi, a great calligrapher and painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty;

There are few pilgrims in the ancient Qixia Temple that were established during the Six Dynasties, and they are still deserted. Only the Six Dynasties pine trees in front of the door are still standing upright. The shrine covered by weeds in the suburbs of Jinling, and there are many Shi Zhongwen and auspicious beasts scattered on the imperial road, standing silently on the setting sun, as if telling the past events of the previous dynasty...

This is an ancient capital that has been filled with prosperity.

This is a ruined and cold and deserted city.

This is a sigh-worthy old city with too many stories.

Of course, in the Tang Dynasty, no one has ever suggested moving the capital to Jinling, but the ending was not very good.

For example, in the 14th year of Tianbao, when the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the article and talent were all flowing through the ages, but he was very stupid and naive in politics. He wrote an article "Appointment for the Capital of Jinling for Song Zhongcheng", suggesting that the court move the capital of Jinling and regard Jinling as the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

The next year, Li Bai was invited by King Yong Li Lin to moor under the city of Jinling, and wrote 11 songs of "Yong Wang's Eastern Tour", which also emphasized again that "the dragon and tiger occupies the imperial state, and the emperor's son Jinling visited the old hill." Then, the energetic King Yong was suppressed by Gao Shi, the governor of Jingnan and old friend sent by Emperor Suzong of Tang. He compared himself to "but he used Xie Anshi in the East Mountain to talk and laugh for the sake of the king", but Li Bai, who stood in the wrong team, was also exiled to Yelang.

Then twenty years later, due to the chaos of the vassal states, the Western vassal states advanced, and Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty Li Shi intended to move the capital; Han Huan, the governor of Zhenhai Army, once looked for Jinling and renovated Nanjing City, but later died with Han Huan. Therefore, the basic exterior structure of Jiangning City/Shangyuan County is based on the half-baked project of Han Huan's renovation of Jinling City.

For example, the famous attractions and historical sites in Nanjing in later generations, such as Qixia Mountain, Jiming Temple, Fenghuangtai, Kaishan Temple, etc., are almost all in the wilderness outside the city. Even the Zhuque Bridge and Wang Xie's hometown in "Wuyi Lane" in "Five Questions of Jinling" have become rural areas outside the city walls.

Looking at the city Huan dyed with a faint blood color under the setting sun, and the remaining fireworks; and the former site of the Stone City, which stands out on the banks of the river, seems to have a cruel, unique and melancholy beauty.

At this moment, the soul of Wenpaogong hidden in Zhou Huaian was also ready to move as if he was about to resurrect, but he suppressed the itch in his throat. After all, now is not a good time to show off. There is neither a sufficient audience with understanding, nor any reason to praise or express gratitude.

"Report to the hundreds of remaining enemies who fled to the Stone City have abandoned their weapons and surrendered..."

Ge Congzhou, the commander in charge of the follow-up supervision and maintaining order, also walked to him in a dressed manner and bowed.

"In this battle, our army suffered 187 casualties, of which 47 were killed or killed..."

"The enemy's heads were captured and 1,983 people were captured. There are still several fleeing enemies who are still being identified and searched."

"There are nine local households obtained from the city, Jiangning has a total of about 7,565 households, and 45,837 households; there are also 378 households, and 1,467 households, and 1,4670 households, and 1,4670 households.."

"At present, with the cooperation of the third detachment of the camp, the new patrol team has begun to enter the neighborhood to conduct a survey and investigation of the official households, officials households and situation households in the city (the powerful wealthy family in the local area). It will be roughly before noon tomorrow, and you can take out the first batch of lists to deal with. "

"Although I have already mastered the household registration, there are still many fallacies in the specific comparison. Therefore, for Ding Zhuang in the city, he was expected to have to go there after the postponement of the road and get some results."

"However, all the medical and craftsmen are in the compilation book. You can select them one step ahead of time according to the map and use them in advance... The recruitment of poor households and refugees has begun."

"From the military warehouse and Changping warehouse under the city, about 8,400 stones of rice, wheat and mixed rice were seized in the transport warehouse, and 3,000 dan of new and old grains were also found. The rest of the salt, dried jelly, breeze, fish dip, and wine sauce were still counting..."

"The millet and mixed rice have been handed over to the leaders of the rebel army who were helping with the war. The remaining rice and wheat have been ground and cooked on the spot, thinking that they are fed in the army."

"The harvest is pretty good, or these officials and soldiers are not good at plundering and accumulating. There are all hunger outside the city, and so many things can be saved here..."

Zhou Huaian nodded and said.

According to the practice of this battle, the food and food obtained were all disposed of in several parts under the Holy Library system. Some were used to make and reserve portable rations to support the army, some were used to provide relief to the people, and some were used to drive human labor for a fee, and some were used to promote the proposition and reputation of the rebel army; some were used as repayment to mobilize those rebel army in coordination. Of course, the corresponding proportion will depend on the specific circumstances.

This is the great benefits and efficiency that can be exerted by the mature military system and organizational system that have been built over a long period of time. Basically, every time you occupy and clear a city or live in a town, you can quickly grasp and control the situation at the first time, and mobilize and use the corresponding population, resources, spoils, and even prisoners to varying degrees according to the situation.

Therefore, with the advancement of the combat process and the achievement of phased goals, the military groups represented by the Taiping Army can always obtain beneficial supplements and phased responses from the local population, without continuing to weaken due to the fewer fatigue and damage as the more battles are fought.

"In addition, the leader Zhang and leader Sun from other departments requested to stay in the city and to raise them for their hands and materials."

Ge Congzhou continued to report meticulously.

"This cannot be accepted by them. With those under-binding subordinates under their command, they will only cause more trouble."

Zhou Huaian shook his head and said.

"They are only allowed to bring hundreds of relatives in, purchase and repurchase the goods and place the wounded; but they must abide by our rules. Those who dare to violate the violations will be punished severely; if they can't do it consciously, they will be repaired outside the city."

"Report,"

At this moment, another hurried voice shouted.

"The other generals of Zhao (Ziri) who were lying on Zhongshan North Road captured Zhang and his party who were disguised as a general of Zhenhai who had left with him. They got all the things he brought with him and sent him back."

"It's so good, now it's basically complete."

Zhou Huaian nodded and said.

"Since Jiangning is already in the middle of the day, I am afraid that the government troops elsewhere have not received any news yet. We can take advantage of the situation of the enemy and not yet react to it, and further take advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle."

"Let's get the map..."

"Where do you think you can go next?"

Then he stood in front of a large map with some small flags and other signs spread out, and asked left and right:

"I think it's naturally the closest Jurong City... I'm afraid that someone has already divided his troops to attack the other Yanling, Qu'a, and Jintan... Even if they go there, it will be icing on the cake, and it's not even a joyful person."

But it was Zhu Cundao, who was nominally the first deputy.

"It's just that Jurong City is larger than Jiangning City. The city is tightly blocked and there are many unknown news, and it is convenient for Qinhuai waterways to travel. If you take the opportunity to fail, Jiangning is afraid of a certain risk."

However, Cao Shixiong showed some caution.

"Actually, as far as I know, before the fall of this city, the official army had already sought help from outside; perhaps there would be uninformed foreign aid. If our army had spare strength, we could hit him and ambush him..."

At this time, Zhang Juyan reminded him.

"Brother Zhang is right. In fact, we can prepare for both hands and walk on both legs. It's just a little bit of staggering the corresponding order."

Zhou Huaian accepted the advice and found it very much.

"Da can first find a small number of elite soldiers to ambush the road near the northern foot of Zhongshan; then divide the troops into the city and continue to pretend to be siege... If there is an official army coming to support, try to suppress it and let it go. Once the enemy is attacked by the original team at the city and gets into battle, they will fight out to attack the rear team, which will prevent them from looking for each other at the head and tail."

"Once the official army is defeated, it will be destroyed, and it can make people disguise themselves as they take advantage of the situation and attack them; however, a candidate with great courage and ability to adapt to the situation will be needed along the way, at least not let those official army easily see through it."

His eyes were around the left and right, and his face was full of eagerness or volunteering to look at the generals, and then he fell on a figure.

"That's you..."
