Nanjing City.

It took Liu Yunwei only one day to lead 30,000 soldiers of the Hanwei Army Pacesetter Battalion to arrive at the city of Nanjing.

At this time, the city of Nanjing was already in turmoil, and after Wang Duo was killed by the defenders, the defenders near the eastern wall of Nanjing took the lead in attacking and rushed into the city in an attempt to capture the entire city of Nanjing. The rest of the troops and horses in the city fought back, and the two sides launched a fierce battle in Nanjing, and there was a stalemate for a while.

The people in the city were affected, and many innocent people were affected by the war, and even their families were killed by the soldiers. That's not all, the scoundrels, scoundrels and criminals in Nanjing City also made waves at this time, and walked into the streets in groups, rushing up to loot the people who fled in panic, and when they saw the young woman, they were indecent on the spot, and even rushed into the people's homes to openly rob.

Within one day, tens of thousands of innocent people died in Nanjing, tens of thousands of people were killed by rebels and bandits, and more than 100,000 people were displaced!

At this time, in front of Liu Yunwei's horse army, more than 30,000 soldiers of the Hanwei army's pacesetter battalion lined up outside the Qilin Gate in the east of Nanjing, waiting for Liu Yunwei's order.

At the same time, Liu Yunwei received an urgent report that he would not collect at night, and learned that Lu Ying, the chief military officer of Tongzhou Town, had also led 40,000 soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion to rush to the Jiangdong Gate in the west of Nanjing, and only waited for Liu Yunwei to give an order, and he could rush into the city to quell the rebellion.

"Good!"

Liu Yunwei said in a deep voice: "Nanjing City is the capital of our country, and the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu is located. ”

After speaking, Liu Yunwei said to the generals under his command: "Zhu Xuyu, Edward!" ”

"The last general!"

"The two of you led the soldiers of the baggage battalion and the artillery battalion to garrison the Qilin Gate."

"Order!"

"The rest of the generals will follow their fathers into the city to quell the chaos!"

Feng Tian, Feng Xuan, and Bao Desheng received orders in unison, and immediately reorganized the army and prepared to enter Nanjing City from the Qilin Gate.

At the same time, Liu Yunwei also sent Ye Bu to Lu Ying to give an order, ordering Lu Ying to immediately lead the army into the city to quell the chaos. In the order, Liu Yunwei also issued a strict order, all the rebels, bandits, and splashes who caused trouble in the city were killed, and at the same time ordered the soldiers of the army to confiscate all the Donglin Party officials recorded in the city.

"Rush into the city!"

Liu Yunwei gave an order, 30,000 soldiers of the Hanwei army pacesetter battalion entered the city of Nanjing, and after entering the city, the soldiers of the army were divided into hundreds of torrents, integrated into the streets and alleys of Nanjing City, and occupied various key points in the city.

At the same time, Lu Ying also led 40,000 soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion into the city of Nanjing and began the battle to quell the chaos.

"The Hanwei army has entered the city!"

"Run! The Hanwei Army has killed someone! ”

For a while, the whole city of Nanjing became more lively, those who were still fighting to the death just now, the bandits who were still killing people and goods, as soon as they saw the battle flag of the Hanwei Army, they instantly changed from wolves to lost dogs, and they all hugged their heads and ran around, and they didn't dare to come forward to resist at all.

Liu Yunwei rode on the street, saw the chaos in Nanjing, and couldn't help but be furious, pointed the spear in his hand at the rebels who fled without a fight, and roared loudly: "Kill me!" Not a single one to stay! ”

Hundreds of soldiers behind Liu Yunwei swarmed up, driving the thousands of rebels in front of them to chase and kill all the way, and the screams resounded in the sky.

"On the order of the town and the country, the Han Wei army entered the city to quell the chaos, and the autumn did not commit any crimes, and ordered the people to live in their own homes and not to walk around the streets!"

Whether it is the soldiers of the pacesetter battalion or the soldiers of the Flying Feather Battalion, while killing the rebels and bandits, they all repeat this sentence loudly, calming the chaos and reassuring the people at the same time.

And the people along the way heard that Zhenguo Gong had led the soldiers of the Hanwei Army into the city, and they all relaxed their hearts and secretly recited the blessing of Amitabha Buddha and the gods. After that, the people in the city all hated Wang Duo, Tang Shiji and other Donglin rebels who caused this disaster, and they all looked forward to Zhenguo Gong killing all the Donglin parties in their hearts, so as to relieve their hatred.

Just when Liu Yunwei led the army to quell the chaos, Shi Kefa and heard that the Hanwei army was coming across the river, and Ma Shiying and Gao Hongtu, who came in a hurry, gathered together, escorted by ten soldiers of the Hanwei army's pacesetter battalion, and went straight to Qian Qianyi's home.

The three of them were ordered by Liu Yunwei, the prince of Zhenguo, to find Qian Qianyi as soon as possible, and the four of them began to prepare together to rebuild the political situation in Nanjing, and after the chaos was pacified, they assisted Liu Yunwei to stabilize the situation in the south of the Yangtze River and uproot the Donglin opposition party entrenched in the southern provinces as soon as possible.

When receiving this order, Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, and Gao Hongtu also expressed their willingness to break away from the Donglin Party and fully cooperate with all the actions of Zhenguo Gong from now on.

On the way to Nanjing with the Hanwei Army Pacesetter Barracks, the three of them had already learned the fate of Jiang Yueguang, Liu Zongzhou, and Zhang Shenyan. Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, and Gao Hongtu are all thoughtful people, and they all understand that in today's situation, standing with Zhenguo Gong can save their official positions and lives, otherwise there is only one way to die!

So, after Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, and Gao Hongtu entered the city, they immediately rushed to Qian Qianyi's house without stopping under the escort of ten pacesetter battalion soldiers, not daring to delay in the slightest.

It didn't take long for the group to come to the door of Qian Qianyi's house, and as soon as they knocked on the door, they saw an old servant open a small crack in the door. This old servant knew Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa, and Gao Hongtu, and when he saw the three adults standing at the door, he immediately welcomed everyone in.

The ten pacesetter battalion soldiers were divided into seven soldiers to guard the gate, and one of the team leaders followed in with two soldiers.

Everyone came to the courtyard and saw Qian Qianyi sitting on the pavilion in civilian clothes, Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, and Ma Shiying walked over quickly, and the flag chief stopped with two soldiers and stood aside.

At this time, Qian Qianyi also got up in a hurry, his face was full of sadness, and when he saw the three of them coming, he asked first: "How is the situation outside?" ”

Shi Kefa said: "Zhenguo Gong has already led the army into the city to quell the chaos, and it won't be long before the rebellion will be exterminated!" ”

"Thank goodness!"

Ma Shiying and Gao Hongtu glanced at each other, and then said: "Zhen Guogong asked the three of us to come here to discuss with Qian Lao what the political situation in Nanjing will do in the future. ”

When Qian Qianyi heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of charter is Zhenguo Gong?" ”

Shi Kefa looked at Qian Qianyi's appearance and was displeased, and said coldly: "Of course the situation has stabilized, what else can I do!" ”

Qian Qianyi didn't think it was strange, and still said excitedly: "In this way, I will wait for the time to operate, as long as I do this for Zhen Guogong, why worry that he will not fly in the future!" ”

Ma Shiying and Gao Hongtu's faces were also full of smiles, obviously agreeing with Qian Qianyi's statement. Only Shi Kefa's face was a little angry, and he stood aside without words.

Seeing that the three of them had been talking about what to do in the future, and they didn't mean to talk about facts at all, Shi Kefa finally couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "Everyone! Time is running out now, we don't have time to talk about things! It won't take long for Zhenguo Gong to quell the rebellion, and if we don't have a practical way at that time, Zhen Guogong will ask about countermeasures, how will I answer! ”

Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying, and Gao Hongtu were a little unhappy when they heard Shi Kefa's words, but it was undeniable that Shi Kefa was indeed reasonable, so he didn't say anything. Only then did the three of them calm down with Shi Kefa to discuss the situation in front of them, so as to reconstruct the situation of Nanjing's left-behind imperial court in the shortest possible time, and assist Zhenguo Gong to stabilize the southern provinces.

Time flew by, and the four of them deliberated until the afternoon, when the sun was about to go west.

At this moment, the old servant of Qian Qianyi's family walked over quickly and said to the four of them: "Ladies and gentlemen, just now a general of the Han Wei Army came to spread the word that all the rebels in the city have been executed, and calm has been restored on the streets. In the evening, the Duke of Zhenguo will hold a banquet at the Yamen of the Political Envoy to entertain the four lords and the generals of the Hanwei Army. ”

When Shi Kefa, Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying, and Gao Hongtu heard this, they all understood in their hearts, I am afraid that at the banquet in the evening, Zhen Guogong will announce how to completely eliminate the Donglin rebels in the provinces south of the Yangtze River in the next step. And how to stabilize the situation in the south is probably also on the agenda of the evening banquet!

At this time, Qian Qianyi asked: "Do you know what happened to the traitor Tang Shiji?" ”

"Back to the master, it is said that he has died in the chaos."

When the four of them heard this, they all felt a chill in the back of their heads, and they looked at each other speechlessly.

Wang Duo and Tang Shiji died one after another, and I don't know how many officials from the Donglin Party will suffer.

The four of Shi Kefa all sighed secretly in their hearts, but no one wanted to do anything, after all, the Zhenguo Gongshi was famous, and he held in his hands the ironclad evidence that Donglin was against the party and brought disaster to the country and the people. Not to mention anything else, just the corruption and perversion of the law, I am afraid that the vast majority of Donglin Party officials will be beheaded!

As soon as they thought of this, Shi Kefa, Qian Qianyi, Ma Shiying, and Gao Hongtu were full of energy again, and seized the time to refine the plan they had just discussed, and discussed it one by one, for fear that they would be asked by the prince of Zhenguo when they went to the banquet in the evening, which would delay their futures.

Just when Shi Kefa and the four of them were thinking about it, Liu Yunwei had already led his troops to the Yamen of the political envoy in the city, and Liu Yunwei was ready to use this place as the location of the temporary Chinese army.

As soon as Liu Yunwei settled here, he received news from Lu Ying that all the rebels, bandits, and scoundrels in the city had been killed, and there was no one left alive; At the same time, Lu Ying also led his soldiers to arrest and imprison the Donglin rebels on the list of more than 140 families in Nanjing, and raided the mansions of these Donglin parties.

Up to now, Lu Ying has seized more than 12 million taels of silver, 850,000 taels of gold, and countless house deeds, land deeds, jade jewelry, jade agate, silk and satin from the mansions of more than 140 Donglin Party officials, which are still being counted.

As for the maids, concubines, actors and other slaves in these officials' mansions, there are even 2,000 people! Liu Yunwei was also dumbfounded after reading the list, lamenting the arrogance and lawlessness of these Donglin Party officials.
