Jiangnan beautiful land, Jinling Imperial Prefecture.

With green water, Zhu Lou was handed up.

When the Ming army's sailors marched through Yanziji, Zheng Chenggong still couldn't believe what had happened.

This is the place where Emperor Taizu established the country after he established the world, which carries the luck of the emperor and the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years, and here is the shelter and sustenance of the spirit of the Han family.

When the Qing generals left behind in Nanjing took the initiative to surrender the city, everything seemed so natural.

Nanjing originally belonged to the Han family, and now it has been returned to the Han family.

Zheng Chenggong felt that all the efforts he had made before were worthwhile, and the revival of Huangming was rekindled with hope.

Compared with the gains and losses of one city and one pool, the symbolic significance brought by the liberation of Nanjing is even greater.

This centuries-old imperial capital has been the cultural, economic and political center of southern Ming for a long time, and has a unique and irreplaceable role.

No matter how prosperous and prosperous Suzhou and Hangzhou are, they will not be able to replace Nanjing's position.

When Zheng Chenggong led his troops into Nanjing City, he felt in a trance that everything was back.

Most of the Qing soldiers in Nanjing were transferred to Zhenjiang by Lang Tingzuo and Guan Xiaozhong, and some were led by Shi Lang to be stationed in Ningbo.

Now the city is full of old and weak soldiers, who can't resist Zheng Chenggong's soldiers at all.

Surrender seems to be the best option.

In the face of these surrendered green battalion soldiers, Zheng Chenggong was a little entangled.

After all, these green battalion soldiers surrendered on their own initiative, and they were all Han Chinese, so there was really no reason to kill them.

Moreover, Zhang Huangyan also suggested that these surrendered Qing soldiers should be left behind, and make a gesture to show the Qing soldiers in the other prefectures and counties south of the Yangtze River.

These Qing soldiers were more likely to choose to surrender after seeing that the Ming army would not kill indiscriminately and surrender troops.

After thinking about it, Zheng Chenggong agreed, and ordered people to disarm these Qing soldiers and send them to various battalions to work as coolies.

Nanjing City is too big, even if Zheng Chenggong's 100,000 troops are divided into various areas, it does not seem too much.

How to settle down after moving into Nanjing is also a problem that bothers Zheng Chenggong very much.

The Forbidden City is definitely not to be visited, it is the exclusive land of the Son of Heaven. The rest of the yamen were ruined by the Qing court.

Thinking about it, it is more suitable for the Nanjing Garrison Mansion.

The Nanjing garrison is divided into the Nanjing garrison eunuch and the Nanjing garrison honorable.

This position was placed by Emperor Chengzu Yongle after he moved the capital to Beijing in the 19th year, and was in charge of the Nanjing Guards, as well as Nanjing's left-behind and protective affairs.

The garrison eunuchs were directly appointed by the emperor.

The garrison lords are all held by the sons of the founding heroes and uncles, for example, the descendants of the heirs of the Duke of Wei often serve as the garrison lords.

With Zheng Chenggong's current status, there is no problem in temporarily serving as the commander of the Nanjing garrison.

As for the counselor's maintenance, he is generally concurrently served by the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and Zhang Huangyan naturally takes the lead.

He is the official seal of the military department of Yongli Tianzi, which is one size larger than the book of the Nanjing military department.

For Zheng Chenggong, Nanjing is a city that carries countless memories.

When he was studying as a prisoner in Nanjing Guozijian, he left good memories.

How steep the west mountain is, the rock and the firmament. The vine weeping stream is easy to wade, and the bamboo dense path is slightly cool.

How light-hearted the poems were written at that time, and how nice it would have been if time had stood still forever.

It's a pity that life is so cruel, and the great changes that have taken place in the land of Shenzhou in the past ten years have made Zheng Chenggong a little trance.

People must always learn to grow up, and the happy young man of the past must also take on the responsibility of his family and country.

More than ten years of hard work and more than ten years of unremitting struggle have finally paid off.

can leave a strong mark in the history, and he Zheng Chenggong is in vain in this life!

As for Zhang Huangyan's state of mind, Zheng Chenggong is basically the same.

Half a life will eventually pay off, and that feeling of relief is indeed indescribable.

After everything was arranged, Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan led their troops to Xiaolingwei of Shenlie Mountain outside Nanjing to pay tribute to Emperor Taizu.

Because the Zheng family respected and supported Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, as the emperor in Fujian, Zheng Chenggong was branded with a strong Tang dynasty from the beginning.

Zheng Chenggong did hesitate.

When today's son is supported by Li Dingguo, can it tolerate the Zheng family who supported Emperor Longwu.

When he attacked Nanjing, Zheng Chenggong did have selfish intentions, and wanted to use this credit in exchange for the forgiveness of the Son of Eternal Heaven, so as not to cause disaster to his descendants because of factional struggles.

But now that Nanjing has really been defeated, Zheng Chenggong is relieved.

It can be seen from all kinds of signs that today's son is a generation of male masters, and his mind is extremely broad.

Even His Majesty the remnants of the Dashun Army can forgive, how can they care about the Zheng family's support of the Tang Dynasty?

This kind of matter of old sesame seeds and rotten grains, I am afraid that His Majesty will not want to mention it again for a long time.

Otherwise, His Majesty would not have named him the king of Yanping County.

What made Zheng Chenggong feel very angry was that the Ming Tomb of Ming Xiao, which was extremely sacred in the past, is now overgrown with weeds.

The stone statues on both sides of the Shinto are even more seriously damaged, and some are even incomplete.

Zheng Chenggong immediately ordered the filial piety tomb to be renovated in an effort to restore its original appearance.

Zheng Chenggong made an impassioned speech at Xiaoling.

This is not only for the soldiers to hear, but also for the people of the world.

Once upon a time, everyone in the world thought that the emperor's qi had been exhausted, and Qing should replace it.

But now it seems that the Ming Dynasty is still the one favored by the Mandate of Heaven, and the king expelled the Tartars, and there is still a good chance in the Central Plains of Beiding.

Taking Nanjing is both a small step and a big step.

Zheng Chenggong plans to take this opportunity to publish an article to denounce Dongyu.

As long as this document is issued, the people of Jiangnan will surely respond.

Zheng Chenggong plans to give this opportunity to Zhang Huangyan.

First, Zhang Huangyan is indeed better than him, and second, Zheng Chenggong doesn't want to take up the limelight alone.

Otherwise, the Son of Heaven will be a little embarrassed when he rewards him in the future.

As a courtier, this matter should still be understood, and it must not be hindered by the king.

"Brother Cangshui, what do you say will people say about us in a hundred years?"

Zheng Chenggong was in a trance for a while, and his Adam's apple shook slightly and said in a deep voice.

"That's not clear, we just need to do what we need to do, and the rest will take its course."

Zhang Huangyan put his hands behind his back and said with emotion: "Maybe a hundred or two hundred years later, when people mention us, they only remember that we have done one or two great things, but so what? We have fought for the court, for the people of the world, and for the thoughts in our hearts, and we have given everything. That's enough. ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded.

"Brother Cangshui said well, there are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain. Who can guarantee that it will never be forgotten? We have lived out our style and backbone. We are worthy of the sky and the earth. A hundred years later, when people mention this history, they will feel that Daming is a man with a straight backbone, rather than a group of slaves who kneel on the ground and beg for wealth, which is worth it. ”
