History: Nanjing City has four city walls, in addition to the imperial city, the palace city, the inner city, in order to implement their own "high wall" strategic thinking, make up for and strengthen the defense of the Nanjing capital, Zhu Yuanzhang in the 23rd year of Hongwu (1390) ordered to build. Waiguo is 180 miles long, and 16 city gates were built during the Hongwu period. The city wall itself is dominated by hills and soil, and only city bricks are added in some weak defensive areas such as city gates, so it is commonly known as "earth city head". In terms of orientation, the shape of the outer Guo is diamond-shaped. The northernmost city gate is Guanyin Gate, the easternmost city gate is Qilin Gate, the southernmost city gate is Jiagang Gate, and the outer Guo city wall in the west is not enclosed, leaving the north and south gaps to extend to the Yangtze River respectively.

The Waijinchuan Gate is the westernmost gate of this Waiguo. The reason why it can leave its name in history is thanks to Zhu Di's martyrdom. In the fourth year of Jianwen (1402), Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, Yan Wang Zhu Di, personally led his troops to cross the river from Guazhou, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong opened the Jinchuan Gate to welcome Zhu Di into the city, and the Yan Wang army entered the Tianfu City from the Jinchuan Gate, and captured the Jingshi Ying Tianfu City, causing the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen to abdicate and his whereabouts are unknown, "the fire in the palace started, and the emperor did not know what to do", "the Yan King sent the emperor's body to the fire, and the Yue Eight Days were buried in Renshen", "or the Yun Emperor died from the tunnel" ("History of the Ming Dynasty" volume 4), known as the change of Jinchuan Gate in history. The Jinchuan Gate Incident announced the end of the Jianwen Dynasty.

Because it is adjacent to the Yangtze River, there are Jinchuan River and Huimin River flowing into the Yangtze River, and it has become a traffic artery. That is, because it is adjacent to the Yangtze River, there is a river, and the transshipment is convenient, a large grain depot (also known as "grassland") was built during the Yongle period, which belongs to one of the important granaries of the imperial court, according to historical records: in August of the 21st year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1485), the grain depot of Jinchuanmen in Nanjing caught fire, and "burned as many as 398,000 dry bags of grain" at one time. This is evident from the scale of storage.

In 1907, when the Liangjiang Governor Duanfang built the Ningsheng Railway, a stone tablet was excavated more than one meter deep under the Jinchuan Gate Cave, which was engraved: This road became iron, and the Qing Dynasty was destroyed. At that time, the road construction foreman did not dare to make a noise, so in order to avoid the disaster of killing his head, he ordered someone to smash the stone tablet and throw it into the Jinchuan River. Coincidentally, sure enough, the following year, Guangxu and Cixi died one after another, and when Xuantong ascended the throne, he cried and shouted, "I don't stay here anymore, I want to go home." His father, the regent Zaifeng, praised him and said, "It's over, it's over." "Within a few years, the Qing Dynasty really perished. This anecdote is still talked about by the people of Nanjing.

Although the factor of the Son of Heaven guarding the country has declined somewhat because of the relocation of the imperial court here, a large amount of grain and rice reserves are still here. As soon as Duoduo crossed the river, at the request of Hong Chengchou, he sent troops to tightly control this area.

At this time, Jialazhang Jingningerjia, who was in charge of guarding the area around Jinchuan Gate, stood on the head of the city rammed with earth and looked at the river to the north with a dumbfounded gaze. In front of him, there was a sea of fire and purgatory, and the ears were filled with wailing and groaning, and the mouth and nose were filled with the smell of burnt and burnt flesh, which was the mixed smell of wood, sails, and human flesh burning and charring together.

On the surface of the river, people's heads floated, and countless former Ming officers and soldiers who had just shaved their hair and changed their clothes were floating and sinking in the waves. The large and small ships that originally transported them across the Yangtze River turned into fires of different sizes on the surface of the river, slowly sinking to the bottom of the river.

"Quick! Check it out! Is the jack gate closed by the water gate? Use more wood to block the water for the official! ”

At this time, Lord Jialazhang Jing Ningerjia did not care about finding a way to rescue his friendly army, but tried to block the road from the Yangtze River along the Huimin River and the Jinchuan River through the water pass into Nanjing.

Because, he saw a familiar flag, a plum blossom proudly blooming in the wind and snow!

"Scarlet-winged Tiger! Li Huamei, this crazy woman! Did she fall from the sky?! ”

Ning Erjia Lazhangjing, although he is not a slave under the two white flags of Manchuria, but he is an official position that has been fought all the way from Tashan, not only Jiala Zhangjing, an official who earned it from Tashan, but also his Niu Lu Zhangjing's world position, a half future, was also obtained from the Tashan battlefield. He belongs to the Tashan system.

At the beginning, a small Paishku of the Two Yellow Banners in Manchuria was appreciated by Dolgon because of his meritorious service in the Tashan battle, and his continuous counterattacks were promoted all the way to the position of Jialazhangjing. Now, entering the customs and crossing the river, there is already a rumor above, and he may be promoted to a certain Han military banner to be Mele Zhangjing. It can be said that he was promoted to make a fortune, and the spring breeze was proud.

However, the Aomei Banner in front of him suddenly made him suddenly turn from triumphant to depressed. Because, as soon as he saw this flag, he saw the fleet of sailors pouring down from the upper reaches of the river and almost covering the entire section of the Nanjing River, and suddenly his left leg, which had been pierced by the cannon, couldn't help but start to tremble. This is a little hidden disease left by Lord Ning Erjia since the Battle of Tashan, and even the closest wives and concubines around him don't know about it.

"Quick! Hurry up and tell your masters! Emergency military intelligence! Li Shouhan, Li Huamei's father and daughter army have arrived! ”

"Quick! Hurry up and arm! Give Ben Jarra all the artillery to the city! Aim at the wharf, aim at the river beach! Can't let that crazy woman get near the shore! Can't let her ashore! ”

As a general who came out of Tashan, Lord Ning Erjia is naturally very familiar with the style and style of this county lord. In fact, it is not only him, but also the descendants of the Dolgon brothers, as well as these members of the Tashan system, when fighting with the various departments of the Ming army, the Dashun army and the Daxi army, when facing the opponent's artillery fire, they often smile coldly and sneer at the opponent's firepower: "This is also embarrassing to appear in front of us?" We were hammered out by Li Huamei in Tower Hill! ”

The soldiers of the Qing army urged the original officers and soldiers of Nanjing City to drag the artillery up to the city, set up artillery positions on the head of the city, put them in columns, carry cannons and gunpowder, and hurriedly searched for straw bags, dug sand and soil on the beach under the city, and piled them up in front and behind the artillery, which was used to defend against the artillery bombardment of the gunboats on the river.

The Qing army hurriedly fortified the Jinchuan Gate and the two city gates near the left, Shence Gate and Zhongfu Gate, and the flag of the Nanyue Army fluttered high on the mast on the Aomei on the river, announcing to everyone in the fleet that this is now the commander of the Nanyue Army.

And the current commander himself is Li Huamei.

At this time, she unexpectedly did not wear the uniform of the Nanyue Army Sailor that she used to wear, but changed into a crown robe of the Ming prince, which looked more and more dazzling at the bow of the ship. He wears a crown of red gold and brilliantly tiara on his head. Wearing embroidered four-clawed golden dragon big red arrow sleeves, tied around the waist with a mutton fat white jade grinding, made of rhinoceros skin, the waist board tightened, if it were not for the waist hanging a short fire, the lion belt with a circle of fixed medicine, holding a telescope wrapped in deerskin, like a pair of royal princes' clothes.

Our lord Li Dajun looked at the ant-like Qing army crossing boats on the river, and scolded impatiently: "These things really can't be killed!" It's been like this for a long time, and it's still blocking our way on the river! Herald! No need to waste gunpowder! Straight on the rocket! Burn it for this official! If you can't finish burning, then go up directly and sink these broken ships for this official! ”

The huge fleet of the Nanyue Army, which went down the river from the upper reaches of the river, rushed in with an unstoppable momentum of a thousand miles a day, coinciding with the section of the river from Guazhou Ferry to Nanjing on the north bank, thousands of large and small ships shuttled back and forth, transporting the soldiers and horses of the Qing army to the south, and transporting the trophies of the Qing army such as grain, grass, cloth, silk and silk in Nanjing to the north.

It can be regarded as if they didn't cultivate in their previous life, and they met Li Huamei, who was angry. Immediately, Li Huamei ordered, "The whole ship fires!" Hang the sails and rush over! As a result, the rumbling of artillery on the river, the blazing fire, the muffled sound of the dull hull hitting one place, the cries for help of a large number of Qing officers and soldiers on the water, the wails when they were on the verge of death, the screams when they were hit by the cannons, the groans of being hit by the fallen masts, and the groans of being hit by the body of the broken wooden planks that were splashing and flying all over the river.

However, there were too many boats of the Qing army on the river, ranging from sand boats, cao boats, and even painting boats for the eunuchs to swim in the lake, and small sampans for fishing, all of which were almost comparable to the types of boats used in Qiu Fatzi's generator plan. For a time, the artillery of the Nanyue Army was somewhat inadequate.

As soon as the so-called cannon sounded, it cost 10,000 taels of gold, and the gunpowder and shells had to cost money, and they had to be transported from Nanzhong. Although Li Huamei also knows that the cost of firing her own artillery is not much cheaper than that of other armies, on the one hand, the means are bold, and on the other hand, they are careful in their calculations, which are the characteristics of the Li family. Although Lao Li's family is not short of money, which Tongbao is not earned by the hard work of the people of Nanzhong, doing business, haunting the wind and waves, blood, sweat and sweat? Even half of Tongbao can't be wasted! So, she moved out the rocket, which is an extremely cost-effective and extremely inhumane weapon.

"It is said that the Yangtze River is the heart of the water, and the tea is on the top of Mengshan Mountain. Let's boil the water in Jiangxin today, please take a sip! Drink enough! Li Huamei once again showed the spirit of the scarlet-winged tiger at the foot of Tashan.

As a result, as the signal flag in the hands of the flag-bearers on the mainmast waved, a series of signals reached the entire fleet. All ships and ships replied with flags, colored flags, lanterns, etc. The sand boats that were responsible for transporting troops sent flags: "Our ship is not equipped with rocket launchers, so the soldiers ask for their orders and go to the side of the ship to kill and injure the rebels with firearms and grenades!" ”

A sharp and piercing horn sounded one after another on the river, and in the Qing army, mainly those authentic Eight Banner soldiers. At least it was also heard by the Qing soldiers from Liaodong Military Town, and this sound was undoubtedly the sound of the opening gong when black and white impermanence appeared in hell!

"Bitter also! Bitter also! This grandmother of the Nanyue Army, this is going to attack again! ”

As the trumpet sounded, rocket launchers were placed in the bow and stern of the ship, and the shooters narrowed their eyes and observed the pennant measuring the wind level on the top of the mast. After determining the strength of the wind, the shooters stretched out their scarlet tongues, smiled innocently, and scolded the Qing soldiers who didn't know where they were alive and died on the river in the distance: "Lao Tzu, I'll boil water for you now!" ”

With the sound of a brass whistle, groups of soldiers of the Nanyue Army rushed out of the cabin, holding the fire guns in their hands, and their faces and eyes were full of eager desire for war and excited revenge.

"Ready! Get on the arrow! Oil Arrows! ”

"It's all there! Listen to me! The ship is in front of the front line, and the empty guns are turned! ”

The sound of passwords reverberated from fleet to fleet.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! ”

Countless rockets, with their tails streaking out white smoke in the air, then quickly climbed to the top, then rolled over and swept over, turning around and exploding in the river with flames. Pity those Qing ships, they are full of bad luck. The rocket landed on the bow of the ship and exploded, which was considered to be the target, and the whole boat was immediately engulfed in flames, and people jumped into the river in a hurry, regardless of whether they would be flooded or not, in short, it was a moment to struggle a little longer. As for the flames that accidentally pass by the side of the ship, then even if you get what you want, the planks of your ship will be scorched and emit the crackling sound of shrinkage when a large amount of water evaporates rapidly, and the sails, cables and other textiles on the ship, and even the clothes and armor on your body will become extremely dry in high temperatures and quickly. Because if you accidentally pass near the flames of another bunch of rockets, then, it is difficult to say whether your boat, which has dried up, will let the enthusiastic brother of Agni hook up.

And those firecrackers raised their firearms and aimed at the side of their ship to the Qing troops who were shouting and struggling in the river.

"Musketeers, get ready to shoot!"

"Spare your life!" Looking at the black holes on the side of the boat aimed at the river, the Qing officers and soldiers who had already had only half a life left in the river were all frightened that there were two missing of the three souls and four of the six spirits. However, is it useful to beg for mercy at this time? The officers standing on the side of the boat just scolded the Qing army in the river, the river was windy, and it was a very noisy battlefield, and the people next to them couldn't hear what they were scolding, and it was not a good thing to think about. He pulled out his saber, pointed forward diagonally, paused, and swung down fiercely, spitting out a vicious word: "Release!" ”

Then his voice was drowned out by the deafening sound of firecrackers, and more than a hundred firecrackers spewed out fierce firelight, which immediately shot out a blood mist on the surface of the river, and a person's head disappeared on the surface of the river in an instant, and streams of blood swirled in the turbid river water, and then disappeared immediately. Only a terrible howl was left in the river wind.

There was a sound of metal, but after this row of firecrackers finished letting go of the guns, they did not retreat, and immediately took the firearms with submedicine in them with their right hand from the hands of the firecrackers in the back row, and turned the empty guns behind with their left hand. The guns were passed in rows, and when they reached the last row, the firecrackers quickly drew their canes, quickly cleaned the guns, and loaded the cartridges with ammunition.

In order to ensure the continuous firepower, the commanders of each ship unanimously ordered the firecrackers to use the tactics of firecrackers, in fact, this is also the method of the Daming God Machine Battalion.

According to the regulations of the Daming Shenji Battalion, each team has 57 people, one captain and one deputy, 55 flag soldiers, three internal flag guns, five cards, 10 long knives, four medicine barrels, and 33 magic machine guns. Encounter the enemy. The card is in front, five knives are on the left, five knives are on the right, eleven people put the gun in the machine gun, eleven people turn the gun, eleven people charge the gun, put a gun every other person, put six guns first, and prepare for the enemy's advance and retreat. The front one turns the empty gun in the middle, the middle full gun in the front, and then the empty gun in the back, and the charge is more unleashed, and then turns. Those who do not let it go without permission, the captain will punish him, and those who are not good at the law will be punished by the deputy of the team. In this way, the guns are endless, and there is no strong battle.

It's a pity that no matter how good the tactics are, they still need people to execute. Today, the army that can inherit, carry forward, and apply this complete set of tactics to actual combat is the Nanyue Army and the Dolgon Army. In particular, the Nanyue Army, which fought from the Indochina Peninsula to Liaodong and returned to Jiangnan from Liaodong, can be described as a division of a hundred battles, and its technical and tactical level and military discipline level have reached an extremely high level.

The fire was continuous, and occasionally a few horsetail grenades flew out of the boat and landed in densely populated places, constantly creating floating corpses in the river. Gradually, on the surface of the river, the wooden planks and wreckage of the smashed boats, the dead bodies of the Qing officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to hold the planks and struggle on the water surface, were floating all over the river, and gradually there were more and more, thicker and thicker situations.

"Fight, can you still fight like this?" Ning Erjiajiala, who was watching the battle at the head of the Jinchuan Gate Outside, opened his mouth so wide that he could almost stuff his fist into it. In his opinion, everything that happened on the river was simply a massacre, or a bully of the weak!

If the sand ships with artillery in the Qing army fleet tried to fight in formation, then what awaited them was the baptism of artillery fire from the ships of the Nanyue Army Naval Division led by the Aomei, until their ships were turned into broken planks and the sailors and gunners became floating corpses on the river!

For those ships such as small sampan painting boats, Li Huamei didn't even disdain to use the cannon, just ordered the sailors to control the ships and crush them hard! With the tonnage and sailor level of the Aomei, these ships are as easy as killer whales devouring salmon.

The sailors adjusted the sails, the helmsmen turned the rudder, and the Aomei, which had adopted the balanced rudder, was as light as a waterfowl on the river, despite its huge tonnage, and crossed a graceful arc on the river, just rushing and crushing the Qing ships.
