[NEW](.)

Huang Yuanjue discussed with Shou Xian for a while. The fleet sailed all the way back, and on the way, some stragglers who wanted to grab people were bombarded into a sieve by the roundabout cannon.

Pick up the soldiers guarding the gate and return to Longjiang Bay.

Gold and silver were loaded onto the battleship, and the Melville increased its load by ten tons, and the waterline sank slightly.

Shou Xiang gave up the command cabin for the women to live in, and seeing that Li Xueyi and Ge Ruifang were very surprised, Shou Xu smiled and said, "It's a little small, but this is the safest cabin in the fleet, and I wronged you to squeeze it for a few days." ”

Li Xueyi and the others had never been on the Hongyi plywood boat, so they were very curious, but they also knew that now was not the time to visit, so they stayed with Song Huixiang. In fact, the command cabin is not safe, but has a separate toilet.

Orderly packed up papers and personal belongings and found a hammock in the officer's cabin. In the afternoon, everyone rests to relieve the fatigue of looting.

At dinner time, Huang Yuanjue found Shou Xiang and proposed to return to Quarry Rock. Shou Xu asked him, "General Xiao Huang, Zhenjiang is lost, and Nanjing is about to fall." Where do you think your father will go next? ”

Huang Yuanjue said with certainty, "Zhoushan, we will go home first." ”

Shou Xuan nodded, "We all run on the sea, and General Xiao Huang should know what is the most important thing at sea." ”

"Of course it's a boat."

Shou Xuan said: "General Xiao Huang, you see, the big river boat moored in Longwan, in addition to accommodating those women, we can still have some space left. ”

Huang Yuanjue's eyes widened, "What does the lord of the country mean." ”

"Let's take the shipyard and take the shipwrights."

Huang Yuanjue: "......"

There was a certain chance factor in the failure of the Yangtze River operation, compared with Jianzhou, the existing warships of the Ming army were still very strong, and the temporary establishment of a state at sea was weak. However, the Ming army faced a very serious problem, with the loss of Jiangnan and the loss of territory, it would be more and more difficult to obtain warship replenishment in the future. Now you can buy ships in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong with silver, but once these places are lost again, the situation will be reversed. The sailors of the Ming army will slowly become a one-time army, and the more they fight, the weaker they will become, while the Jianyu will have an infinite replenishment ability, and sooner or later they will gain an advantage on the sea.

Huang Yuanjue's eyes widened, and the more he spoke, the more frightened he became.

"General Xiao Huang, our strength is limited, and it is difficult to change the general trend now, but we can slowly accumulate strength, and maybe one day, it will play an unexpected role."

Xiao Huang gritted his teeth, "I will do what the lord says, I will do it." ”

Orderly smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

The Longjiang Shipyard is actually a synonym, and Nanjing is the largest official shipbuilding base in China. Including the Longjiang Shipyard under the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, the Horse Yard under the Nanjing Military Department, and the Xinjiangkou Clipper Yard under the Nanjing Military Department. The closest to Shou Xiang is the Longjiang Shipyard, which is the largest, most famous and most well-equipped shipyard.

The main products of Nanjing shipbuilding base are fast boats, horse boats and foreign boats, all of which are made of sand boats. Among the main products, the ocean-shading ship is a sea vessel. After Zheng He's voyage to the West was stopped, Nanjing did not stop building sea ships as some negative propaganda did.

During the orthodox years, the imperial court once asked the Nanjing shipbuilding base to build 350 ocean-covering ships for seaborne grain at a time. During the Jiajing period, the Xinjiang Estuary Shipyard under the Ministry of War undertook a highest-end construction task. Imitate the Portuguese galley warship, build four centipede ships 7 zhang 5 feet long, 1 zhang 6 feet wide, each warship is equipped with 12 large and small franc machines.

The existing facilities of Nanjing Shipbuilding Base can build 600 material horse ships, 400 material battle seat ships, battle patrol ships, 100 material cao ships, and light and shallow convenience ships used by Huang Yuanjue and Shou to enter Nanjing City in an orderly manner.

Because of the lack of funds, the Longjiang Shipyard once declined very badly after Wanli. After Jiashen, Ma Shiying recruited many shipwrights from all over the south of the Yangtze River, partially restored Nanjing's production capacity, and built repair ships for the sailors along the river.

Shou Xuan and Huang Yuanjue stood in front of the map of Nanjing with wine glasses in their hands, "General Xiao Huang, from Xiaguan to Xinjiangkou, there are four shipyards along the road, I go from east to west, you go from west to east, let's take it all." ”

The Nanjing shipbuilding base is too big, and these few hundred soldiers are definitely not enough to sweep it clean, but if you plan well, you can also take away the essence of it.

Huang Yuanjue asked, "What should I do if I can't take it away?" ”

Take a sip of the golden liquor, smile at the order, and "burn".

Huang Yuanjue only felt a cold shiver all over his body.

Originally, the guard order made the fleet plan to shell the Longjiang shipyard, but now that there are no defenders to stop it, why bother shelling it, and burn it with fire.

Huang Yuanjue led his troops upstream, concentrated manpower to the greatest extent in order, and made up 100 people. Take a sampan and a dinghy all the way up and smash open the gate of the Longjiang Shipyard.

In the dock, there are two 400-material war patrol ships under repair. The orderly asked people to check the condition of the warship, and the repair was almost finished, and only some tail sweeping work remained.

The materials used for shipbuilding in ancient China were not directly related to the tonnage of the ship itself. The material is not the weight or the volume of the ship, but the timber needed for shipbuilding. With the same 400 materials, the displacement of the flat-bottomed sand ship is larger than that of the Fuchuan Guangchuan. In order to withstand the waves of the open ocean, Fukufune Hirobune had to use more wood.

The chaos in Nanjing also spread to Longwan Town, and many of the fast-legged boatmen, especially those from other places, ran away, and the rest were local shipwrights.

The sailors used their swords to force the craftsmen to repair the ship overnight, and walked into the government office of the Longjiang Shipyard in an orderly manner, which was another sleepless night.

The Longjiang Shipyard covers a very large area, and the soldiers captured more than 400 boatwrights and blacksmiths near the shipyard, with nearly 2,000 people. As an important river port, Longwan has many private boat owners. By the night of the 14th, two war cruisers had been towed out of the dock. The Melville kept only 60 men to carry out the necessary manoeuvres, and the rest were assigned to eight trolley ships to escort the captives and the ship's owners. With swords on one side and silver on the other, the shipowners and craftsmen who had agreed to give the captives land overseas and the whole family did not choose to resist. In addition to transporting people, the tung oil, cables and ship ash packed in the shipyard are also taken away as much as possible.

Shou ordered to get the largest Longjiang shipyard, and Huang Yuanjue got two military factories in Xinjiangkou and Machuanchang, and both sides were quite satisfied with this.

On the night of 14 May, it rained heavily in Nanjing, and it was impossible to set the fire.

At the same time, in the city, money houses.

In the middle of the incident, Wu Shi asked to see Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and closed the door.

The rain drenched the ends of Wu Shi's hair, and despair crept up his face. He had learned that the civil and military forces in Nanjing were preparing to surrender, and he had come to inquire about Qian Qianyi's attitude.

Walking numbly, Wu Shi planned to leave Nanjing. Someone from behind him suddenly stopped him, "Please wait a moment in the middle of the matter." ”

Wu Shi turned around and saw the housekeeper of the Qian Mansion coming over and handed over a note, "It is advisable to go to Zhejiang Central to choose the owner to support it in order to recover." ”

Wu Shi was overjoyed, at least, Qian Qianyi didn't really want to fall.

In the inner courtyard of the Qian Mansion, Liu Ru sighed, "Mu Zhai, why don't you see him?" ”

Qian Qianyi didn't look up, and continued to write his poems, "No, it's good for us." ”

Liu Ru was unwilling, "Mu Zhai, does Nanjing really want to fall?" ”

"The slave rider is in the city today, and the lord Zhao Zhilong sent people out of the city, and it has been negotiated."

Liu Ru took Qian Qianyi's hand, "Let's go back to Changshu and leave Nanjing." ”

"If I abandon the official, who can protect the scholars of Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" Qian Qianyi caressed his wife pitifully, "It's just that I hurt you." Jiannu will definitely recruit me to Beijing, and you can only stay in Changshu alone. ”

Qian Qianyi, as one of the highest-ranking civil officials in Nanjing, participated in the decision to surrender Zhao Zhilong. But unlike what others think, with Qian Qianyi's fame, the official position given by Jian Yu will not be low, which is conducive to Qian Qianyi's organization of resistance movements behind the scenes. Some are destined to go to war with a knife, some survive and it is more advantageous to fight in the rear.

Liu Ru stroked his clothes. Last year, the scene of Rong subduing and controlling horses, inserting pheasant tails, and riding into Nanjing is still in front of me. Liu Ru loves to ride horses in military uniforms, and is heroic and chic. Lao Qian is a little hesitant and weak, and many people wonder how these two can get along. But only Liu Ru understands what Lao Qian has decided in his heart, and he is willing to risk his life.

On May 15, Nanjing, Hongwu Gate was opened.

Led by Zhao Zhilong, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, Xu Zhoujue, the Duke of Wei, and all the nobles in Beijing, as well as more than 30 civil and military officials such as Wang Duo, a scholar of the university, and Qian Qianyi, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, knelt beside the road.

The owner of the white flag, Duoduo, rode on a strong horse outside the Guanwai, wearing a towering helmet and lightning rod, and a delicate cotton armor, under the escort of Baya Lama Zhangjing, and stepped into the city of Nanjing.

Not long ago, in the recitals and conversations of the ministers of Nanjing, the banner lord was still a slave and a Tatar Hu, and now he is a conqueror who wields the authority of life and death of his ministers.

Zhao Zhilong knelt on the ground and bowed four times, and Duoduo was very satisfied. Dolgon conquered Beijing, and Dordo conquered Nanjing, and he felt that he was not much worse than his brother.

Duoduo was about to open his mouth to seal the Duke of Zhao Zhilong, but found that black smoke was rising in the west of the city.

Zhao Zhilong's face turned pale, "The boat field ......"

Duoduo quickly figured out what was wrong, and Zhao Zhilong's Duke Feng was in the soup on the spot.

Jianlu was very interested in the Southern Naval Division, and in the order given by Dorgon to Duoduo, he asked to retain the cavalry and elite infantry of the Southern Ming Army, and cut out most of the useless people. However, the sailor did not mention the dismissal at all, and Dolgon ordered Duoduo to be optimistic about the sailor, and handed over the original official to practice as before.

At this time, something happened to such a large shipyard, and a flame of fire rose from Duoduo's heart.

"What's your name?"

"Lord Qiqi, the slave's name is Li Qiao."

Duoduo walked over in two steps, kicked over Li Qiao, who was kneeling on the ground, and pulled out a horsewhip to slash his head and face.

"This king wants to shave the soldiers, and he didn't say that he wants to shave the people. You are a civil official, who made you shave your head, who made you shave your head! ”

After smacking Li Qiao wildly, Duoduo felt a lot more comfortable physically and mentally, and took a sip before leaving, "Shameless slave." ”

When Jianyu went south, the initial goal was to let the subjects of the world tie their hair as before, and only shave the soldiers but not the people.

The officials were silent. A smile appeared on Qian Qianyi's face, this little prince of Jianzhou is sometimes quite straightforward.

On the Xiaguan River, the Melville anchored 600 meters away from the Yifeng Gate.

"Shoot."

The Melville aimed at the tower, firing at full power. There are not enough people and the rate of fire is slow, but it doesn't matter.

Order's smile was a little hideous, "Let's welcome Duoduo into the city with cannonballs." ”

In the rumbling cannon, from Longjiang Pass to Xinjiangkou, a sky-high fire was ignited under the city wall. Residents of Jiangwan Town, displaced.

Song Huixiang stared at the order, as if he knew him on the first day.

Note: Qian Qianyi insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty until he died. The Manchus should be aware of this, and Qian Qianyi was the key target in Jiangnan. The prestige of the old money is high, and there are many protégés,
