The walls of the imperial city are not comparable to the walls of the inner city, the height of the imperial city is more than six meters and less than seven meters high, and the width of the city is more than two meters and less than three meters, such a city wall is not difficult for the Mawei army. The outer city and the inner city were all in the hands of the Mawei Army, and Geng Jingzhong only ordered the artillery team General Jiang Twenty Gate to transfer over, and began to fire a salvo at a distance of only more than 100 meters, and in just a quarter of an hour, a section of the city wall on the left side of Hongwu Gate was blown down.

The damage to the city was only caused in the war, which was really very slight. The cannon didn't want to fire at Miyagi, but just aimed at this section of the city wall, and just repaired it afterwards. The gap in this collapsed city wall is as long as 20 meters, and the Qing army has no way to block such a large gap. After the collapse of the wall of this section of the Cannon River, it did not stop immediately, but instead loaded grapes and continued to bombard, just one round, and a large number of more than 300 Qing troops who had just gathered near this gap to defend against the Mawei Army fell. According to a rough estimate, at least hundreds of people were killed in this attack.

A large number of horsetail soldiers have long been gathered outside the imperial city, nearly 12,000 troops have 6,000 people around this imperial city, and there are 3,000 horsetail soldiers near this Hongwu Gate, and at this time, they all began to rush from the gap to the imperial city under the leadership of the commander. Just like breaking through the gates of the inner city in the early morning, when the Mawei army attacked the city, the Qing army knew that the general trend had gone, and it would be futile to continue to resist, so they simply began to lay down their arms and surrender. The Qing army cooperated so much that the soldiers of the Mawei Army had no combat exploits to gain. For those who surrender on their own initiative. That's the captive. Prisoners of the Matails were not allowed to shoot.

"Governor Qiqi, we've caught a big fish! A Xixu, the governor of Liangjiang, Ma Hu, the governor of Jiangsu, and Mu Tianyan, the political envoy of Bu, as well as the two Huai salt envoys, the prefect of Jiangning, and the deputy generals and generals, a lot of them! Ning Wu was very happy at the moment, this time it was a great achievement, and he almost wiped out the high-ranking officials in Jinling City.

"Hehe, I guessed that they were all together, but your movements are not slow!" Geng Jingzhong also said with a smile on the corner of his mouth. "Still. There's one more thing you need to do! Geng Jingzhong waved his hand and asked Ning Wu to come forward.

Ning Wu immediately stepped forward a few steps and said, "Governor Dadu, give an order to ensure the successful completion of the task!" ”。

"Good!" Geng Jingzhong nodded with satisfaction. "At the same time that you entered the inner city to clear the enemy army, all parts of the inner city were also cleaned up by the soldiers below, but the city is very chaotic at the moment, not only the remnants of the Qing army, but also a lot of ruffians and hooligans and underworld underground forces took advantage of the fire to rob, many of them were killed by the soldiers, but they also captured many leaders. Even so, the elves were still in a mess at the moment. Therefore, the governor of Pontus needed some drastic measures to quickly stabilize the city of Jinling. ”

"Then, Metropolitan Governor, do you want to" Ning Wu asked with some confusion. A thought popped into his mind. Could it be that the Metropolitan is ready to go on a killing spree against the people of the inner city? He was still thinking nonsense, so he listened to Geng Jingzhong again.

"Kill!" Geng Jingzhong coldly spit out this word.

Ning Wu shouted in his heart: "It's coming, it's really going to kill!" ”

"Not killing is not enough to deter Xiaoxiao, nor can it quickly stabilize the people's hearts." Geng Jingzhong continued.

"Stabilize the hearts of the people?" Ning Wu heard the key sentence, it didn't seem that he was killing people indiscriminately.

"I am going to kill the Qing court officials who have been captured, those who have a bad reputation, the leaders of the underworld and underground forces in the city, and some of the bullies who have been causing trouble to the people in the city all year round. Kill at the head of the city, the location has been chosen, and it will be at Tongji Gate. In front of all the people, these garbage are directly beheaded! Tell the people that our Mawei Army is not an ordinary army, and at the same time, it is necessary to send troops to patrol the streets for the time being, so it is necessary to stabilize Jiangjinling City in the shortest possible time. Now, send these Qing officials to Tongjimen, and the Governor of Pontus will arrive later. ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! Ning Wu replied loudly. After speaking, he led a team of soldiers behind him towards the direction of Tongji Gate. The soldiers of the escort team are still very careful, and the identity of this group of people is not simple, and it is not clear that someone will come to rob them halfway. But the Mawei soldiers were still a little worried, and the whole process went smoothly. There are horsetail soldiers patrolling all the roads, and nothing else will happen at all.

The officials in Jinling City, including A Xixu, the governor of Liangjiang, Ma Hu, the governor of Jiangsu, Mu Tianyan, the political envoy of Bu, as well as the Lianghuai salt transport envoy, the prefect of Jiangning, the Tongzhi, the push official, the deputy general, the general and so on. For these eagle dogs of the Qing court, Geng Jingzhong will naturally not be soft. Of course, this also refers specifically to those corrupt officials and officials who are loyal to the Qing court, these people are completely useless and convenient to kill.

At the beginning of the afternoon, people were already standing outside the gate of Tongji Gate, and there were at least 10,000 people. Ning Wu still understood Geng Jingzhong's thoughts very well, although they had never done such a thing, but they had heard it many times when they were drinking with army officers, and it was not uncommon to take down a city. After he received Geng Jingzhong's order, he personally arranged the relevant matters. Most of the people saw the announcements that were posted and the soldiers shouted along the streets. Many people still hid in their homes and didn't dare to go out, but I heard that they were going to publicly behead various officials in Jinling City, as well as famous bullies in the city, and so on, all hurriedly gathered over. However, those who really dare to come out are indeed bolder.

There are hundreds of people lined up at the head of the city, most of them are officials in Jinling City, and some are also familiar to the people, and they are all the leaders of the people. For those corrupt officials and officials in Jinling City, not to mention ordinary people, even the wealthy gentry and rich have long contained a belly of anger, but they have no chance to vent it. Especially the first Liangjiang Governor A Xixu, how long has he been in office, only a year and a half, Jiangnan gentry and rich Jia was scraped by him no less than 10 million taels of silver, of course, most of them were handed over to Kangxi, but he himself was also full of private pockets, and he ate a brain full of fat!

Now, the Mawei Army is doing the right thing for heaven and wants to cut down all those guys who have brought disaster to the country and the people, which is really very happy. So, before the time for the execution arrived, a large number of people arrived, and there were many well-dressed people at the front, who were obviously wealthy and wealthy. They also want to see with their own eyes, like the common people, how those officials, big and small, who are usually powerful and powerful, are escorted to the execution ground. In the past, it was they who brutalized ordinary people, and they did whatever they wanted on the high prison platform to indulge in the life and death of others. Now, it's finally their turn to get by someone else. Death and death. I wonder what they will think at this moment?

The Mawei Army near Tongji Gate also deployed a thorough defense to prevent any accidents. Here, almost every five paces, a Matails soldier squatted with a bayonet-glittered rifle, standing solemnly. Even under the city, behind the crowded crowd, there was also a Mawei soldier standing guard every ten paces. All the horsetail soldiers who were in charge of the guard put away their rifles and held their swords in their hands. These knives were still seized from the Qing army, and they were used temporarily. The shiny waist knife is more deterrent to ordinary people than a rifle. If you look closely, you can see that under the reflection of daylight, it does give people a strong sense of awe.

The city tower was used as an execution ground, which was also done by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty more than 300 years ago, but it was his brothers and nephews who made mistakes, and Geng Jingzhong wanted to kill the officials of the enemy army. Above the city tower, the flag flutters, the sword light is dazzling, and the crow is silent. In order to create the most powerful psychological deterrent for the prisoners, Ning Wu did put a lot of effort into the arrangement of the execution ground, otherwise it would not have taken nearly three hours. But then again, ordinary people, seeing such a scene, have long been weak in their legs, and they don't know what to do.

The common people looked at this majestic scene, excited, and full of emotion. At the front, there was an old man in a silk coat with a white beard and said with a low sigh: "Alas, this killing field, since ancient times, only killed ordinary people, I don't know how many lives have been killed, and I have never killed even a single official, but today I am going to kill a big official." Governor of Liangjiang, the official of the feudal territory, Emperor Hongwu just killed a few generals on the city tower or something, amazing, really amazing! ”

A middle-aged man next to him, who was white-skinned and neatly dressed, snorted with his nostrils and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of golden skill jade leaf he is, the son of the dragon and the grandson of the dragon, the king and the marquis, and the official and the eunuch." On weekdays, he is powerful, showing off his might, and wantonly stealing the money of our businessmen, I guess he never thought that there would be today! Governor of Liangjiang? Hey, a knife went down, with a click, the same head fell to the ground, blood splattered with yellow sand, and the corpse was thrown to the dog to eat, see if he can still do evil in the next life! ”

Another middle-aged man interjected with blazing eyes and said: "Speaking of this, I heard that the governor of Fujian attaches great importance to commerce and trade, not only does not discriminate against our businessmen, but also vigorously supports the development of commerce and trade!" Although Fujian's commercial taxes are higher, the profits are many times higher than ours! ”

"Hey, did you know? Our big families in Jinling City have secretly had an industry in Fuzhou for a long time, and it is said that they have also bought a few big ships in Fuzhou, and every time they go to sea, they make a lot of money! However, the strength of the people is strong, and the background of the court is also profound, so there is nothing to do on both sides. If we had done this, we would have been arrested and imprisoned a long time ago, but now that Governor Geng is here, it seems that we also have such an opportunity! (To be continued......)
