Later, the Longjiangguan wharf renamed Xiaguan is one of the most important banknotes of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and its prosperity is by no means inferior to Yangzhou, Qingjiangpu these famous ports, although it was damaged in the recent war, but time is the best means of healing, this is not, the Qinhuai River row upon row of houses and the many flower boats on the river are the best proof.

But because of the fires and shouts of killing that came out of the city of Nanjing the night before, Longjiang Pass, which should be full of vitality after waking up in the morning, fell into an unspeakable dead silence, and even the most ignorant splashes knew that something was wrong, and hibernating snakes and rats hid like snakes and rats and disappeared.

At the beginning of the day, the ship coming from Pukou on the other side of the river docked, and countless pairs of eyes hiding and peeping were horrified, and hundreds of heavily armed soldiers disembarked and went straight to the city. If it weren't for the fact that a team of officials came to Nanjing to maintain order, I am afraid that many people who were worried about the prolongation of the war would have helped the old and the young to flee all the way to the so-called safe place

"Big brother, look, it's time to Jiangning." At this time, the fleet down the river had already driven to the position of Jiang Xinzhou in the future, looking at the imperial capital faintly appearing in the distance, Jiang Chunxiu, who commanded Liu Jun's fleet, told Liu Ning'an, who also had not slept well all night, about his weak heart. "Big brother, I don't know what's going on, the closer I get, the more panicked I feel, and I don't know if King Ning and they have succeeded at this moment."

Before Jiang Chunxiu's words were finished, he saw a little white sail appear in the downstream direction, this white sail was completely different from the hard canopy sail used by inland river vessels, so that Liu Jun, who had never seen it before, pointed at him up and down, only the thoughtful Liu Ning'an's face changed, and he couldn't help but roar.

"Quick, dock, this is King Xia's soft sailboat, there must be something wrong with King Ning."

Jiang Chunxiu, who was shocked, hurriedly ordered the follow-up fleet to move towards the riverside shallows, and at the same time ordered more than ten escorted warships to block it. However, the soft sailing ship on the opposite side was too fast, even if it was going upstream, it was as fast as a galloping horse, and before Liu Bu's warship could break away from the ship, a cloud of gunpowder smoke came out from the side of the soft sailing ship that passed by.

With the thunderous sound of artillery, several columns of water rose on the river, but fortunately, both sides were in motion, so the shelling was lost. But Liu Jun didn't have time to rejoice, another soft sailboat flew by, this time Liu Ning'an was not so lucky, and a big boat full of soldiers was shot and caught fire on the spot. However, the bad luck is not over, Zheng Jun's foreign sailor fleet is usually formed into a team of four, Liu Jun has just encountered two, and the remaining two are waiting for the cannon to "salute".

It was only at this time that the gunners on Liu Jun's ship woke up like a dream to the reprimands of their respective officials, but just like the original gunboat of Zheng Jun, the cannonballs fired by Liu Jun's gunners who did not know what they were fighting for lost in a hurry, at most they only killed a few river fish that had no time to escape and disturbed the muddy sediment at the bottom of the river.

After the Zheng gunboats were completed, two ships in Liu's fleet were already half-sunk and half-floating, and three other boats were on fire. The soldiers of Liu Jun, who were forced to jump into the river by the raging fire, struggled to call for help, and his miserable appearance made his peers feel hurt.

But the hard-hearted Liu Ningan knew that there was only a dead end to stay on the river, so he gritted his teeth and ordered: "The brigade continues to dock and leave a few boats to fish them up." ”

Driven by Liu Ning'an, Liu Jun, who was demoralized, slowly pulled the boat towards the thatched river beach.

Suddenly the ship shook, and the experienced sailors immediately reported: "Boss, the ship has run aground." ”

The boat was stranded, but there was still some distance from the shore, in this regard, Liu Ningan gritted his teeth, regardless of the heavy armor on his body, the first to jump into the water, set an example, wading through the knee-high river and slowly moving towards the shore. The main generals all demonstrated, and the soldiers below had to follow one by one although they looked at each other, so they saw thousands of soldiers dragging mud and water towards the 6 places.

Liu Jun was still wading in the water with one foot low and one foot high, but Zheng Jun's gunboat here had already used the principle of the spinnaker to facilitate a U-turn, and quickly completed the turn

When the salvo rain of bullets ended, at least 500 officers and soldiers of Liu were turned into corpses, and even Liu Ning'an's brother Chang Yufen lost his footing and drowned in the shallows less than half a foot in the chaos of fleeing for his life. However, because the Zheng gunboats used shotguns and chain shells that did not pose much threat to the hull in order to destroy the 6th troops, the losses of the Liu army's fleet were not large.

But everyone knows that this situation is just an illusion, once Zheng Jun turns around again, he will no longer be able to reach Liu Jun, who is on 6, and will naturally target the fleet with limited mobility again. It was with this realization that the sailors of the ships either abandoned the ship and went ashore, or left the river beach to drive the warship upstream. Jiang Chunxiu wanted to restrain the troops to reach Jiangxin and engage the Zheng army's gunboats in a short manner, but at this time the order had lost its effect, and he had no choice but to follow him.6 So that one of Liu's main forces was lost in the outpost battle.

"My lord, what should I do?" Liu Ning'an, who had managed to take his troops somewhere on the shore outside the range of gunboats for rectification, soon got bad news, and many of the discouraged Liu soldiers had quietly fled, and even Zhao Zhenzhen, one of his 12 Taibao, felt that the future was hopeless and said goodbye. "If it goes on like this, the sons and daughters will collapse if they don't fight."

"Someone," Liu Ning'an, who had a fierce look in his eyes, immediately ordered his own soldiers. "Send people to set up posts immediately, but if you desert now, you will be killed." Under the iron-blooded means, the chaos of Liu's department was slightly suppressed, but only half of the 4,006 divisions and 1,000 water divisions before they came out were left at the moment, but Liu Ning'an, who was difficult to ride a tiger, could only make a mistake to the end. "According to the news from King Ning for the last time, together with King Xia Yiwei, there are only more than a thousand defenders in the city, even if King Ning Qingjun's side fails, the troops in the city must be damaged, so we still have a chance." Liu Ningan's words gave the panicked subordinates a glimmer of life, and seeing that their morale had recovered, Liu Ningan immediately decided. "What are you waiting for, attack the city immediately"

The team was driven by Liu Ning'an to move again, and at this time, Jiang Chunxiu sneakily touched Liu Ning'an's side and whispered: "Big brother, I haven't brought much food from the ship, in case it can't be attacked for a long time, the food will run out."

Liu Ningan's face was angry, and he also lowered his voice and said: "You know and I know this matter, and there is no need to spread it out."

Since he boarded 6 in advance on the Jiangxinzhou line, Liu Bu's attack target could only be set on the city walls on the west and south sides of Yingtian City. Although there are many city gates along the west city wall of Jiangning, it is inconvenient for the Zheng army with limited troops to guard it, but the strength of Liu Bu is also very tight, and it is impossible to divide the troops lightly in any case, so the south city wall with only one city gate has become Liu Ning'an's only choice.

Also due to the loss of a large number of siege weapons such as artillery ladders, Liu Ning'an could only capture the people on the outskirts of the city as a precursor, which not only made the people angry, but also exposed the goal of their own march.

"Didn't you say that there was no army in Nanjing? Where did this soldier come from! Liu Ningan looked at the military situation in front of him dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy after a long time on the battlefield. King Ning misunderstands me, King Ning misunderstands me! ”

This is Liu Ning'an misunderstood Zhu Qi, yes, on the night of the palace change, all the garrison forces of the Zheng army in the city added up to only one thousand and a half, but with the integration of the surrendered personnel of the Jinyi Guard and the Bannerman Guard, the strength of the Zheng army in the city did not decrease but increased, plus the left-behind troops in Jiangpu, **, Yangzi and other places crossed the river overnight to reinforce, even if the garrison of the Songchongdu Governor's Mansion on the front line of Changzhou had not yet arrived, the available strength of the Zheng army had increased to more than 2,500 people at the last moment before the battle. Moreover, the Zheng army, which used the arsenal reserves of the Dadu Governor's Mansion nearby, also had many artillery pieces of various types that Liu Jun did not have, and he did not see a battle, and the victory or defeat was already clear.

"Someone," looking at the remnants of Liu's army who were in a bit of a commotion, Lin Sheng, the general staff officer of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, ordered coldly. "Pass the order, and fire a salvo from each cannon to shock the rebels in front of you!"

After the rumbling cannon sounded, as Lin Sheng, who was back in battle, expected, Liu Bu immediately bombed the camp, hundreds of people threw off their armor and knelt down to beg to surrender, and more abandoned the people who were held hostage by them, and fled into the distance in a panic, only the panicked core personnel of Liu Bu were still nervously hugging around Liu Ning'an, but the total number had dropped to less than 1,000.

"Forward!" Seeing this ugly scene, Lin Sheng broke off and snorted, so the army slowly pressed towards the last Liu Jun.

Facing the angry opponent, Liu Jun, who was the little left, trembled nervously, and seeing this scene, Liu Ning was as relieved as death. He understood that even if he turned around and fled now, facing the net of heaven and earth on the side of Ming Zheng, he would only have a dead end. So Liu Ningan pulled out a knife and pulled it around his neck, immediately cut the trachea and artery, and then fell to the ground and died.

Liu Ning'an was killed, and the troops dispersed one after another, among which Jiang Chunxiu took a few personal soldiers and went straight to the Yangtze River. However, Jiang Chunxiu did not escape far, and the soldiers who came back to their senses teamed up to besiege and kill him, and offered to surrender. Therefore, except for Zhu Qi, none of the leaders of this rebellion escaped

"My lord," Lin Sheng, who was in charge of the pursuit, had not yet returned to the city, when he saw a knight coming in a hurry, and immediately a pro-soldier on the side went up to inquire, but when he came back after a while, the pro-soldier's face was strange. "My lord, it's an urgent report from Jiujiang, saying that there is a large fleet of ships upstream going downstream, and the intention is unknown."

"Hindsight!" Lin Sheng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but there was no way, and when the news came up one by one, Jiujiang couldn't catch up with the boats sent again, so he had to use a stagecoach to call the police, but the post government in Jiangnan was affected because of the urgent need for war horses in front of the army, and it was not restored to normal for a long time, so it was normal for the enemy to arrive before the alarm. "If you rely on them, the daylilies will be cold"

Before Lin Sheng's words fell, another knight drove his horse over: "Taiping urgent, there is an unknown fleet transiting"
