Outside the western part of Nanjing, the gates were wide open, and the civil officials and gentry who greeted Li Xing's army stood on both sides of the road.

In the distance of the road, 20,000 elite cavalry with loaded guns and ammunition slowly came north from the Yangtze River crossing. The cavalrymen wore red uniforms, cowhide boots, and sturdy belts around their waists. They wore new steel helmets on their heads and small one-meter-high flags on their backs.

From a distance, tens of thousands of red flags hunted in the wind, like a red cloud.

The horses under the crotch of the cavalry are all fat and strong, and the whole team walks on the official road in a long snake formation, the momentum is difficult to describe in words, it can only be described as aggression like fire, slowly like a forest.

The people of Nanjing on both sides of the road were shocked and frightened when they saw such an army. They stood dozens of feet away and looked at this side, gathering densely, but forming two human walls on both sides of the road.

Li Xing rode his horse at the forefront of this army, standing tall and proud.

At this time, Li Xing's crotch rode a European horse captured from the Cossacks, which was two meters high and had an extraordinary momentum.

Unlike Zhong Feng and Li Laosi, who pay attention to practicality, Li Xing is the most pompous. Zhong Feng sent a telegram saying that many European horses had been seized, and Li Xing immediately asked Zhong Feng for dozens of horses, saying that they were breeding, but in fact they were used as his own mounts.

Not only did Li Xing ride such a big horse, but several regiment commanders and twenty personal guards around Li Xing also rode such a big horse. More than 20 two-meter-high horses pressed over, making the civil officials in front of the city gate very nervous, and their breathing was somewhat blocked.

Walking to the place close to the city gate, Qu Yingshan, the head of the regiment under Li Xing, said: "Uncle, do you want to get off the horse and meet these civil officials?" ”

Li Xing snorted and said, "Ben Bo was ordered by the king to guard Nanjing and control Jiangnan, how can there be these obscene civil officials in his eyes?" ”

"In the future, when I am in Nanjing, I will act on the orders of the king and the Son of Heaven. Whoever dares to disobey the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, Ben Bo will lead a large army to break through the city and arrest people! The whole of Jiangnan was Benber's sphere of influence. These civil officials are slaves and criminals in Benbo's eyes, and Benbo is too lazy to see them. ”

Qu Yingshan said with a smile: "Uncle, now that Cui Changwu has entered the court, all the officials in the world are subject to Cui Changwu's transfer." Cui Changwu has the final say on which one to catch, and the uncle has become Cui Changwu's precursor. ”

Hearing this, Li Xing's face suddenly darkened.

Over the years, the only one in Tianjin who dared not to give Li Xing face was Cui Changwu. At that time, the scene of Cui Changwu winning Li Xing in front of the top card of Hualou was still vivid, and the whole Tianjin knew that Li Xing and Cui Changwu were at odds.

Unexpectedly, this Cui Changwu rose step by step, and now he has gone to the imperial court as an auxiliary minister, which is really a sesame flower.

And Li Xing's mission of stationing in Nanjing to deter Jiangnan crumbs has also become a dispatch under Cui Changwu's orders.

Li Xing gritted his teeth, only to feel a wave of hatred in his heart. He glanced at Qu Yingshan angrily, and shouted in a low voice: "Qu Yingshan, don't you have itchy skin, which pot can't be opened?" ”

Qu Yingshan smiled and hurriedly said: "The little one is wrong, uncle, don't blame!" ”

Li Xing's face darkened, and he glanced at the civil officials outside Nanjing, and he looked at these civil officials more and more unpleasantly.

"These villains! Kill them all! ”

Without saying hello, Li Xing suddenly shouted: "Speed up into the city!" ”

The horsewhip was whipped on the buttocks of the European horse, and Li Xing accelerated violently, and rode quickly towards the city of Nanjing.

The cavalry behind saw the main general driving forward, and chased after them one by one.

The 20,000 cavalry rushed towards the city of Nanjing like a gust of wind.

In fact, the military camp of 20,000 soldiers and horses was outside the city. However, Li Xing wanted to show off his strength, so he was ready to take 20,000 cavalry into the city to parade the streets.

The 20,000 cavalry kicked up countless dust, smoke and dirt on the official road, and the rubble flew indiscriminately, choking the gentry and civil officials on the roadside.

Those civil officials were originally going to greet Li Xing, but they didn't expect Li Xing to rush over in a blink of an eye, and they couldn't see the civil officials. These civil officials did not wait for anything but to eat a mouthful of dirt ashes.

Ye Shanghan, the secretary of the Nanjing Bureaucracy, saw thousands of troops and horses rushing from the road, and was so frightened that he took a few steps back, tripped on the stone next to the official road, and fell on his back facing the sky.

He was in his fifties, and his bones fell apart.

The other officials also retreated in a panic, hurriedly making room for the galloping cavalry, for fear of being trampled to death by the iron hooves of the Tiger Army.

The civil officials and gentry on both sides of the official road suddenly became chaotic, so they were not embarrassed.

However, although the officials in Nanjing were despised by Li Xing, they did not dare to despise Li Xing at all. The prefect of Ying Tianfu looked at the cavalry torrent blankly, then ran to the band with the front of his official robe, and shouted: "The army has entered the city!" Blow it up! Blow it up! ”

The lively sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded at the city gate, and the sound of iron hooves rolling into the city converged, which had a unique flavor.

In the three halls of the Yamen of Chaling Prefecture, Changsha Prefecture, the local officials of several nearby prefectures and counties gathered together again.

However, compared with the last time when they were angry with the same enemy, this time the officials were a little discouraged. The atmosphere in the three halls can be said to be gray and wilting.

Tang Tonglin, the magistrate of Yiyang County, shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that Li Thief would really help the emperor control Jiangnan. The 20,000 cavalry of the Li thief were released into the city of Nanjing, and the thousands of horses in the south of the Yangtze River were gathered. ”

When the officials heard Tang Tonglin's words, they all shook their heads and sighed.

This Li Zhi is really the mortal enemy of the heavenly officials. The civil official competes with the Son of Heaven, and he also has to intervene to help the Son of Heaven.

Wu Zhidan, the magistrate of Liling County, pursed his lips and said: "I heard from friends in Nanjing that Li Zhi's younger brother Li Xing is now stationed in Nanjing, which is a big shelf. The officials in Nanjing came to ask for a meeting, from Shangshu Jiuqing, who stayed in Nanjing, to the local chief official of Yingtianfu, and he Li Xing did not see any of them. ”

Li Zhi's soldiers and horses entered the south of the Yangtze River, and the civil officials in Nanjing trembled, for fear that one day Li Zhi would be unhappy and set off the accounts of the Jiangbei Army to settle the officials in Nanjing, and they all wanted to curry favor with Li Xing. There are those who give silver, there are those who give beauties, and there are those who give jade silk. But Li Xing was busy hunting and training, and he was stunned that all the officials in Nanjing were closed. ”

"This Li Xing's 20,000 cavalry swung towards Nanjing, and the situation was very different. I'm afraid that it won't be long before Li Xing will arrest the disobedient officials. ”

The officials looked at each other for a while, and there was some panic in their eyes.

Ding Yougui, the governor of Chaling Prefecture, sighed and said: "I have already started to arrest, the latest news, Sun Qingyuan, the magistrate of Jurong County, Yingtianfu, was arrested by Li Xing and entered the Huben army camp because he refused to enter Beijing as an official. It is said that Li Xing had this Sun Qingyuan whipped to death with a whip. ”

Whipped to death with a whip?

How miserable that died.

Hearing the news of Ding Yougui, the civil officials in the three halls suddenly changed color in shock, and they all looked panicked.
