Kefir and Quasimodo set off from Dengzhou, Shandong, the offensive and defensive battle of Nanjing was entering the final stage, under the supervision of the Western Front Corps of the Han Empire, the Han army of the green camp of the puppet three provinces suddenly mutinied, and the inner and outer city defense changed hands day and night, and the remaining more than 67,000 soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners were firmly blocked in the inner city of Nanjing, after that, the Han army brigade besieging the city sent 'elite' sharp musketeers and artillery units, under the leadership of Colonel Nian Qianyao, chief of staff of the First Army of the Praetorian Infantry, Launch a general assault on the stubborn defenders of the inner city.

Under the sharp heavy artillery attack, the fortified inner city inherited from the Ming Dynasty suddenly collapsed like soft mud, however, in desperation in anticipation of the street battle of the Eight Banners troops and saw the other side's charge, hundreds of improvised stone throwers threw large piles of wooden planks, firewood and grass and fuel clay pots into the city, and then 10,000 cannons fired in unison, nearly 6,000 archers divided into four horizontal columns and circled into a 'chaos', tens of thousands of rockets ignited the entire city in an instant, and in the midst of the raging fire, 66,000 soldiers and civilians of the Eight Banners turned into smoke in an instant.

After the battle, the whole city was filled with the smell of roasted 'meat', and the air was mixed with a little smell of blood, when the last 'gate' tower completely collapsed, and the last desperate cries and cries for help were drowned out in the crackling sound of burning, the city with a population of hundreds of thousands was silent for an instant, except for a few artillery still 'operating' artillery, including the Han army outside the city, everyone stopped silently, staring at the smoke and fire that covered the sky and the sun in a daze.

Millennial catastrophe.

His Majesty Lin Feng, the executioner with bloody hands and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, knew nothing about it at the moment. The military report from Rick of the Western Front Corps is very simple: ...... On May 21, the fifth year of Yuanxing of the Han Dynasty, the defenders of the north 'gate', west 'gate' and south 'gate' of Jiangning in the puppet Qing Dynasty surrendered, and then conquered the outer city, and the remnants of the enemy resisted the heavenly soldiers according to the inner trenches, which were destroyed, and the war was urgent, or there was a big fire, and the inner city was burned.

In the battle, more than 50,000 enemies were annihilated, more than 12,600 were beheaded, and the enemy had eight banners inside and outside Jiangning, and no one escaped.

My Emperor is mighty. The meritorious officials and generals are as follows:...... To put it mildly, to the point of ambiguity. The Manchu civil and military forces 400 kilometers away from Nanjing were unaware that not long ago, more than 60,000 soldiers and civilians, old and young, had been killed in the flames.

The wheel of history rumbled, the last faint hope of the Qing Dynasty in China was completely annihilated, the news came out, North China was jubilant, only Ning Jin appeased Naland's 'sex' Nanwang wept, and the pseudo-Kang Prince Jieshu who was far away in Zhejiang was drunk and fainted.

At the beginning of June 1689, Jieshu, the former Prince of Kang of the Great Qing Dynasty, sent people to Changsha to try to lead the army to surrender, but Wu Shiwan, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, sternly refused; As a last resort, he sent envoys to Shangzhixin in Guangdong and Zheng Jing in Fujian to ask for surrender, but they were rejected again.

In mid-June, Taiwan's Zheng Jing swore in Fuzhou, awarding Liu Guoxuan, the general of Dinghai, as the commander, Feng Xifan, the general of Fuzhou, as the second lieutenant, and Chen Jinnan, the general of Dongning, as the governor of the rear, commanding an army of 40,000 and attacking Zhejiang in two ways.

Not to be outdone, the Southern Zhou Dynasty and Guangdong Shang Zhixin sent troops to the west and south respectively to attack Zhejiang.

The soldiers from all sides pressed the border, and the news arrived, the whole territory of Zhejiang was desperate, the local green battalion puppet army surrendered without a fight, and the Eight Banners retreated in panic, and no one dared to fight hard.

Prince Kang Jieshu secretly sent his henchmen and young son to Fusang, and then, the whole family was less than one place, and the family burned to death.

The last remnants of the Qing court in China were scattered suddenly, and more than 20,000 troops of the Eight Banners fled overnight, only the Pingnan general Lai Ta was angry and led his headquarters of 3,000 iron cavalry to meet Liu Guoxuan, and the two sides fought the last decisive battle on a mountainous area in Quzhou Prefecture. The 3,000 white flag iron horsemen all regarded death as home, and finally the whole army was wiped out, and no one surrendered.

General Pingnan of the Qing Dynasty, who was under the white flag 'Mongolian' ancient capital Lai Ta shouted excitedly: "The Manchurians died here!! In the end, he was shot dozens of times, bleeding all over the ground, and died of exhaustion.

On June 25, 1689, the short-lived Qing Dynasty finally withdrew from the stage of history.

Nanjing Kefu, the emperor of the Han Empire Lin Feng happily went south, under the protection of 40,000 guards, took a boat through Hongze Lake, to Gaoyou Lake, and finally arrived in Yangzhou.

Although it has experienced an extremely tragic extermination 'sexual' massacre half a century ago, Yangzhou has regained its vitality by virtue of its unique geographical location, after recuperation.

This time the emperor went south, although the banner on his head was "Imperial Expedition", but in fact, everyone knew that it must be a joke to really want the emperor to go to the battlefield, and Lin Feng's main purpose of going south this time was not to lead the army to fight.

China's political situation has developed to this point, the foundation of the Han Empire has long been unshakable, compared to other princes, whether politically, militarily or economically, the imperial government has occupied an overwhelming 'sexual' advantage, although at this moment the Southern Zhou, Zheng Jing, Shang Zhixin and others are especially existing, but everyone in the world knows that these so-called emperors, princes, county kings and the like, all of them are just surviving, and their final fate can only be chosen between death in battle or surrender.

This time, the emperor went south, and he came for Jiangnan. At present, the various corps of the Han Imperial Army are lined up along the Yangtze River, with a total strength of more than 300,000, and all of them are well-trained, vigorous, high-morale, well-supplied, rich in combat experience, and the most 'sophisticated' field troops.

According to the latest troop statistics sent by the General Staff of the Army, the troops deployed by the Han Empire in the Yangtze River valley at present stretch from Baidi City in Sichuan Province in the west to Jinshanwei in Jiangsu Province in the south, together with the field corps, auxiliary reserve militia regiments, logistics baggage and strong men, the puppet army of the green battalion in the surrender area, the landlord army, the remnants of the peasant rebel army, and the large and small warlord troops, with a total strength of nearly 1.5 million.

In the face of such a suffocating war machine, there is simply no problem with military issues.

As the richest piece of land in China, the imperial government gave unprecedented importance. This time, Lin Feng deliberately detoured to Yangzhou via Hongze Lake, precisely to clean up the hearts of the people in Jiangnan.

And Lin Feng himself is also full of confidence in his mission.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, because of the fierce resistance against foreign races, South China suffered unprecedented devastation, whether it was production, economy or population, all suffered a devastating "sexual" blow, until today, more than half a century later, the vitality has not yet returned to the highest point in history.

Therefore, under such circumstances, there is a wide range of anti-Qing sentiment in the Jiangnan region, starting from the Shunzhi period of the puppet Qing Dynasty, all kinds of armed uprisings in various parts of the Jiangnan have been endless, from the perspective of historical comparison, this kind of military confrontation full of national sentiment has a long incubation period, strong vitality, great influence, and high degree of sympathy, which can be described as unprecedented. It can be said that the majority of Jiangnan residents, including wealthy businessmen and large and small landlords, from all walks of life, are sympathetic to this anti-political armed force, and they implicitly give them as much support and help as possible.

Even the puppet army of the Green Battalion, which the puppet Qing government itself relied on, repeatedly revolted or mutinied, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Hunan, from south to north, from Shunzhi to Kangxi, the official political rebellion almost never stopped, and the defected generals and officials were of high rank, even including first-class officials.

The so-called "'chaos' of the three feudatories" of the three anti-kings, in the final analysis, is just the continuation and highest 'tide' of this large-scale rebellion and repeated rebellion.

In the Qing Dynasty, their control and influence in the Jiangnan region were extremely weak, and more than 90 percent of the ruled people did not recognize the legitimacy of this foreign colonial regime. To be fair, this is precisely the result of the massacre, the unstable factors created by the extremely brutal administrative measures, the predatory economic policies, and the extremely insulting administrative orders in the early days of the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

Politically speaking, the so-called "wise and wise" regent Dolgon, whom the pseudo-Qing Dynasty boasted about, was actually a political idiot, and the mess he left behind made the pseudo-Shunzhi and pseudo-Kangxi anxious, and the Qing government had to spend at least 100 years on local infiltration and image public relations.

And the reason why Lin Feng went straight to Yangzhou this time was to cater to the psychological desire of the people in Jiangnan.

Although the Ming Dynasty is corrupt and mediocre, but he drove the 'Meng' Gu to the north and Tusi to the south, she has created the pride of the Chinese nation, this pride, at least within a hundred years, is firmly remembered by the people for a long time, how can a braided hair bind a great nation? !

More than 20 miles away from Yangzhou City, Lin Feng immediately ordered the ship to stop and land, ordered the officers and soldiers on the left and right to change into plain white mourning clothes, bells and drums, artillery sounded in unison, the emperor himself personally took the empress Wu Ake and the prince Lin Xuan to get off the boat and march to Yangzhou City on foot.

Hearing that the emperor was touring south, millions of villagers from all over Yangzhou Prefecture helped the old and the young to watch from afar, and looked at the procession of the imperial guard of honor from the hillsides, rooftops, and treetops. However, Lin Feng's actions at this moment stunned millions of villagers.

The guards were originally wearing fiery red 'color' uniforms, an order, all put on a white 'color' cover, looking from a distance, like a plain white long tongue, all kinds of gourds, axes are all put away, weapons are all covered with white 'color' cloth covers, from the emperor down, regardless of the queen, the prince or the minister, everyone throws their horses and walks, slowly marching towards Yangzhou City.

According to the traditional rules, the joy that the emperor should have played when he was fortunate has all turned into a sad and sonorous mourning music at this moment, and the number of banners leading the way is full of pen and ink, and the awe-inspiring painting is awe-inspiring: 800,000 unjust souls and heroic souls are not far away; 3,000 zhang sweat blue iron straight book; Banner: Justice returned.

The royal car walked slowly, and millions of people near and far were silent, and for a while, the most densely populated place on earth could only hear the rustling of footsteps. The villagers who are honest and 'handed' look at each other, and they are very suspicious: from ancient times to the present, they have never heard the emperor go out on patrol in this way, don't you say that there are countless frames and crowns on the stage?

But only countless scholars suddenly wept bitterly, prostrate on the ground in pieces, and shouted loudly: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!! ……”

Suddenly, I don't know who began to explain in a whisper, and suddenly, the sad atmosphere suddenly spread, and suddenly people suddenly came to their senses, and the older generation remembered the war of the past, and the young people remembered the tragic experience passed down from their fathers. As the brigade marched, tens of millions of people from far and near fell to their knees as if they had cut down wheat on the ground, and countless people wailed and wept, mixed with hoarse curses and curses for the tartars.

Lin Feng was dressed in a white 'colored' dragon robe, holding Wu Ake with his left hand, and holding the crown prince Lin Xuan, who was less than three years old with his right hand, like an ordinary husband and wife, and walked to the front of Yangzhou City with heavy steps.

At this moment, Yangzhou City has already poured out of the city, and the white 'color' royal car was seen from afar, the emperor came on foot, and everyone was stunned like a 'chicken', until the emperor's figure was already able to see clearly, and the head of the person in charge of the drive pounced and fell to the ground.

The person kneeling at the forefront was not the local prefect official of Yangzhou, but Niu Qianyu, the leader of the Cao Gang. Logically speaking, it is very unetiquette to let a Jianghu figure 'show up' his face to preside over such a major event as "welcoming the car", but at this moment, there is no more suitable person than him.

In addition to the Cao Gang, which is rooted in Yangzhou, has always been closest to the people, and is famous for its righteousness, who is more worthy of hundreds of thousands of fathers and sisters who have died to thank the emperor for their condolences?!!

Moreover, even if the old-fashioned Mr. Dong Yan jumped out to accuse him of violating the etiquette law, this Niu Qianyu gang leader also has another identity - as early as a year ago, the Cao Gang made great contributions in the war of the Han Empire to recover the north, and the emperor personally awarded the founding county man of the Han Dynasty.

Although he has been 'swinging' the rivers and lakes since he was a child, he has seen countless scenes, but it is the first time to greet the emperor, Niu Qianyu can't help but feel nervous, Lin Feng has not approached, he took the lead in kneeling, and the mountain shouted and danced: "Niu Qianyu of the founding county of the minister welcomes the driver, bow to Sheng'an, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ……”

"I'm safe!" Lin Feng nodded, his face was heavy, "Aiqing is flat," he raised his head and looked around, only to see that those who were kneeling behind Niu Qianyu, except for a few officers of the Han army garrison, most of them were businessmen wearing 'fine' silk robes, at this moment in front of the emperor, everyone was silent, hanging their heads sideways, not daring to look up, he waved his hand, "You guys have worked hard!" ”

"Don't dare!!" Niu Qianyu quickly turned around, let go of the city's 'gate' and 'hole', bowed down and pointed to the drawbridge, "On behalf of the people of Hecheng, I respectfully invite Your Majesty to enter the city!" ”

"No!!" Lin Feng refused in a deep voice and waved his hand, "I came to Yangzhou this time, not for anything else, it is to pay tribute to the hundreds of thousands of compatriots who died when the Qing army went south?!! ”

Niu Qianyu squeezed out a few tears and cried, "Your Majesty's benevolence, the ministers and other Yangzhou fathers and elders are crying and have no ......."

Lin Feng nodded, turned sideways slightly, waved his hand backwards, and saw the wheels behind him ringing, and hundreds of white-clothed guards men pushed dozens of carriages forward, and immediately turned over the car covers, and took off countless bloodstained clothes, most of these clothes were pseudo-Qing official uniforms, both literate and martial, and a few were horse coats and placket coats worn by 'women', some of which were extremely narrow, and they were children's swaddling clothes and hundred clothes.

The people in the city were stunned, looked at each other, and suddenly there was a lot of noise, and the crowd was talking.

Lin Feng walked to the roof of a carriage proudly, his eyes scanned in all directions, stretched out his hands, and pressed lightly in the air, the crowd suddenly quieted down, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the emperor to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen of Yangzhou, these are the clothes and ...... of the cultural relics officials of the Qing army who participated in the battle of Yangzhou from the puppet Qing officials and the military department in the past, and even the soldiers of the Eight Banners themselves."

Niu Qianyu suddenly realized, stretched out his head to go, only to see that behind the clothes in front of him, each of them had a small piece of paper pasted, the ink was deep, and it was the name and the word, he looked at it for a moment, only to see hundreds of guards kept taking it out, piling up a pile of bosses, and I don't know how many I found, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

I only heard the emperor continue, "...... My Han Dynasty has arrested these bipedal beasts that slaughtered innocents and ravaged Yangzhou in the past, according to the size of the grade, if the eight banners Niu Lu or above, the puppet army in the general officer himself lived, beheaded, if he died, a son was punished, and the Yu clan was assigned to the Nuergan Governor's Mansion to reclaim the famine, and they were not allowed to return to the Great Wall within three generations - and as for those who have names and surnames, and the most heinous crimes, they have all been killed in the 'door', and there is no escape!! ——”

He turned around and slammed back towards the guards, and in an instant countless torches were dropped on these bloody clothes, and the flames rose into the air, 'swinging' the sky with dust and smoke.

Lin Feng bowed slightly, symbolizing 'sex' and slightly arching his hand towards the sky, "Let the innocent people who died in Yangzhou open their eyes today, we have avenged them!" ”

Silently, there was silence in the city and under the city, until a long time, I don't know where the choked cry came from, as if it was collectively infected, and suddenly, the thousands of Yangzhou people in front of them, together with the tens of thousands of guards officers and soldiers, ministers, and attachés who escorted them, knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

In an instant, in this piece of heaven and earth, thousands of people bowed their heads and bowed, but only Lin Feng stood upright, holding his head high to the sky, and his shape was majestic to the extreme.

Amidst the cries of pain, he shouted, "Lift up!" ”

Hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Guards stepped forward again, carrying several stone statues, among which they were of different shapes, the leaders were dressed in Confucian costumes, but their outer clothes were draped in half-body iron armor, and their heads were held high, and their expressions were sad and indignant. And the several stone statues beside him, but everyone had their hands tied upside down, their expressions were obscene, and they were very depressed, and they knelt down on the ground towards him.

There were sharp-eyed people in the crowd, who suddenly recognized it, and shouted in a lost voice: "Isn't that the Shi Pavilion Department?!" ……”

Lin Feng smiled slightly, but did not answer immediately, as the emperor, he personally came forward to preside over the memorial ceremony, and kept talking with his throat, and his voice was a little hoarse at this time.

Seeing this, Wang Shirong immediately stepped forward and replied loudly, "Yes, it is the former Ming minister Shi Kefa and Master Shi Ge!" ”

He turned around and pointed to a few kneeling statues next to him: "These are the three heads of the Han 'traitor' Hong Chengchou, the Han 'traitor' Li Chengdong, and the general of the Eight Banners Army, Duoduo, Your Majesty has a decree: From today on, these three beasts will be like Qin Hui in Yuewang Temple, living and dying here, forever and forever, and they will not be allowed to get up if there is a day in my China!! ”

Tens of thousands of people immediately cheered loudly, and those who couldn't hear it in the back couldn't help but ask questions in front of them.

Niu Qianyu finally found a gap, implicitly hinting at his subordinates, suddenly firecrackers rang out, gongs and drums rang out in unison, in the earth-shaking cheers, he once again led the Yangzhou gentry to kneel down and kowtow, holding back his strength and shouting loudly: "Yangzhou Hecheng people, respectfully please Your Majesty enter the city to rest in peace!" ”
