Nanjing, known as Jinling and Jiankang in ancient times, is the provincial capital of Jiangsu Province and the "ancient capital of the Six Dynasties". However, since the relocation of the capital to Yongle, although Nanjing still enjoys the name of "Beijing", the northward movement of the imperial spirit, in the following 500 years, is no longer touched by the imperial spirit, although Qianlong has repeatedly arrived in Nanjing, which was named "Jiangning" during the reign of the Manchu Dynasty, but that is only "Hu Qi".

As the imperial capital, for the city, it undoubtedly only exists in history, only staying in the words of the history books, and the memory of the imperial capital only leaves a lot of anecdotes and anecdotes for the city. At this time, the people in Nanjing had not yet adapted to the long-lost prestige of the Han officials from the old Manchu colonial system in which "all the people were full of hair, all dressed in robes and gowns, and the old Manchu colonial system of performing ancient things and retaining a little bit of the prestige of Han officials," but a piece of news was published in the newspapers -- the future Chinese dynasty and state would be located in Nanjing, and it was from that time that the Manchu Qing Dynasty's renamed "Jiangning" was no longer mentioned.

For the fathers and elders of Nanjing, they prefer to call their city "Nanjing", and even just because of this news, many Nanjing people even walk in a daze, with the momentum of the subjects at the feet of the Son of Heaven, of course, more often, they will ask others.

"When will this emperor come to Nanjing?"

Of course, what they are more concerned about is that there is no imperial palace in Nanjing. Where does the emperor live?

Not really! The Daming Palace in the city that has been emptied is only a few palace walls, as for the city, except for the Liangjiang Governor's Palace, which is still like that, what other places are suitable for the emperor.

Just when the people were simply worried about whether the absence of the palace would make the emperor feel that he would be treated slowly, there was another news in the newspaper - the emperor went south!

Although it has been a long time coming, but for the officials and people of Nanjing, they are really busy and dizzy, and hurriedly began to prepare for the emperor, and the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion has taken out hundreds of thousands of taels of special funds to repair the roads from the wharf to the city and the houses on both sides of the street, and even specially renovated the city wall and the Governor's Palace, in short, for fear of neglecting the emperor, as for the new successor of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion Liu Nengji also hurriedly moved out of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion and vacated the Governor's Mansion to the emperor.

But they obviously didn't know the emperor of the new dynasty, for him, the palace was just a residence, and even he didn't choose to live in the city at all, but chose a Chinese-style villa club built by the Beiyang Company on Xiaohong Mountain outside the city a few years ago as a temporary palace, of course, the people in the city did not know about it.

"Your Majesty, it's almost time to get to the docks!"

Looking up for a while, Tang Haoran's expression was calm and faintly excited, this was the first time that he, as an emperor, had come to his own capital.

From now on, this will be the heart of the future Chinese Empire!

Before the boat approached the wharf, Tang Haoran saw that outside the wharf, a large number of people had already gathered, all of them were officials from Liangjiang and Nanjing, all of them were well-dressed, and they were wearing Han-style official robes -- this was the reward for their change of flag, becoming the official of the new dynasty, and the emperor did not kill the people, which was a habit in China for thousands of years. Looking at the leader, it was Liu Nengji, the governor of Liangjiang, who obeyed his father's orders and "dedicated the country" to the governor of Liangjiang and the first-class prince of the Chinese Empire, "Xinning Gong", seeing that the holy car was near, he solemnly commanded his subordinates to line up according to the rank of civil and military officials, ready to meet him.

For Liu Nengji, at this time, he was ready to hand over everything, similar to Li Jingshu, he also didn't think that he had the ability to be with Tang Haoran for a long time, and it was because of this that he chose to give up, and his surrender made Zhang Zhidong, who was an ally, miserable.

But on the other hand, Liu Kunyi's handful pen before his death kept the wealth of the Liu family, as long as Liu Nengji did not commit the crime of rebellion, then as the first-class prince of the empire, the Liu family will be able to take the rest of the country seriously from now on.

In this regard, Liu Nengji saw it very clearly, and when he learned that the Duke of Luyang had built the "Guogong Mansion" in his hometown of Hefei, he also moved the same mind, intending to build the "Guogong Mansion" in his hometown, and this repair of the "Guogong Mansion" was fake, so as to show the emperor and the court that his heart was true.

Power is a good thing, but it has to be kept. Since you can't keep it, why don't you be an ordinary person!

What's more, with the identity of the Duke of the Kingdom here, the future of the Liu family has finally been preserved.

Whispering to himself in his heart, Liu Nengji looked at the government officials around him, they had all changed into Han-style official robes, and the Liu family's concession also preserved them, so that they would not be allowed to accompany the Liu family to the end of the road, which could be regarded as the whole of this scene.

"The ship is coming to port!"

A gentle voice, the next moment was interrupted by the sound of a salute, that is the Shogunate Mountain and other places of the fort with a salute to welcome the arrival of the emperor, only a few people know that before the emperor arrived in Nanjing, the Marine Corps and the three army mixed brigades have arrived in Nanjing by land and sea in advance, taking over the city defense of Nanjing, as for this fort, it has also been taken over.

In the rumbling cannon, the ship docked in the harbor, and when Tang Haoran stepped off the ship, the civil and military officials on the dock immediately bowed deeply and bent into a piece.

"Ministers see Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live"

In the midst of that long live voice, Tang Haoran, who was wearing a white military uniform, just said "flat" calmly and majestically, and then walked to the car that had been prepared a long time ago.

For this kind of "cold reception", Liu Nengji is of course very clear that this is a must for a human monarch.

The cars escorted by the cavalry walked very slowly all the way, from the wharf to the city, all the way there was a tsunami of long live sounds, and on both sides of the road you could see people kneeling on the ground, many of them even a few days ago from dozens of miles away, even hundreds of miles away, just to get some "imperial spirit".

In the traditional concept of the Chinese people, to be able to get a little bit of "imperial spirit", that is enough to show off to the world, and even in the eyes of many people, can be stained with imperial spirit, maybe any diseases and the like can be cured, of course, this is not true, but the people would rather believe in all this.

And for Tang Haoran, as the emperor, all he needs is to sit in the car, look ahead, look at the open city wall in the distance, and look at the upcoming Zhonghua Gate,

As he got closer and closer to Nanjing City, looking at the city wall made of blue bricks, Tang Haoran couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart:

"This is the capital of the future......"

After this exclamation, the car drove into Nanjing, and drove into the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion as a temporary palace in the sound of the mountain and tsunami, of course, this is the real temporary, out of etiquette, he will only stay here for one night, and tomorrow, he will move into the palace on the mountain outside the city.

"Minister Liu Nengji has seen His Majesty......"

In the former Grand Signing Hall of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, Liu Nengji respectfully performed the Nine Knock Ceremony, although he did not need it, but for him, he hoped to use this etiquette to show his surrender, Tang Haoran, who knew the other party's thoughts, did not stop him, but after he finished the salute, he personally stepped forward to help him up and said.

"Xianlin, according to the generation, you and I are brothers, don't do such a big gift in the future! After all, in the Chinese Dynasty, this kneeling salute has been abolished! ”

"Remember!"

As for the words of the brothers, Liu Nengji naturally listened to them, but his expression was extremely respectful, and everything that followed seemed to be formulaic.

Liu Nengji, who was the governor's office of the Liangjiang Governor, naturally reported on the situation in Liangjiang first, and only at the end did he mention the formal request to abolish the governor of Liangjiang, and his reason was very simple -- Nanjing, as the imperial capital, naturally could not set up a governor, and it was far more appropriate for him to propose it on his own initiative than for the imperial court to propose it.

Of course, Tang Haoran naturally refused to abolish everything in the Governor of Liangjiang, after all, there were still several Governors there, not to mention, there was also a Governor of Huguang who was struggling there, so although Liu Nengji mentioned the abolition of the Governor of Liangjiang, he also refused it for the time being.

But in fact, everyone knows very well that this is just a face-saving job, just like Liu Nengji's request to resign and return to his hometown, it is just a statement, the words in the officialdom cannot be done seriously, and there are many things just because of face.

Finally, after all the work on that face was done, more important questions came out of Liu Nengji's mouth again.

"Your Majesty, now the 205th, 206th and 207th Divisions of the Army have all arrived in Jiujiang, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, ......"

The division that starts with the word "2" in Liu Nengji's mouth is actually the former Liangjiang Army, just as the former Beiyang Army starts with the word "1", which is a simple naming convention, and the number of troops is rearranged according to the change of banners of each governor. Now Liu Nengji naturally couldn't mention any more "children of Liangjiang", but said calmly.

"Just wait for Your Majesty's order, my tens of thousands of troops can be swept to Huguang ......"

Although for the outside world, Tang Haoran's trip is to "return the capital to the capital", but in fact, people with a discerning eye know that this is the new emperor of the empire wants to completely solve the southern problem, in fact, it is also the problem of Zhang Zhidong, as for Fujian and Zhejiang, he did not even send troops, that Lord Duan took the initiative to return to the imperial court, the only requirement is to hope to save the lives of tens of thousands of flag soldiers, since Tang Haoran ascended the throne as the emperor, the only one who has not expressed his position is Zhang Zhidong, only the former master Dong Weng.

It is precisely because of this that Tang Haoran's trip will be interpreted by the outside world in various ways, and for Liu Nengji, who is the governor of Liangjiang, he naturally knows that this is the moment for him to show loyalty, he is not Li Jingshu, he has a deep personal relationship with Tang Haoran many years ago, so he needs to do something to show his loyalty, loyalty to the emperor and the new dynasty.

Whenever it comes to changing the dynasty, there are always many smart people, just like Liu Nengji, who will always do everything possible to show their loyalty to the new dynasty in order to win the favor of the new dynasty, so as to prove to the new dynasty that they have completely abandoned the past in order to win trust.

However, all this, Liu Nengji and his staff guessed wrong, although Tang Haoran's trip was to solve Zhang Zhidong's problem, but it does not mean that he has to fight to the death with Zhang Zhidong, if this is the case, he has no need to go south in person, only need to send a telegram in Dalian, after all, the current situation in Zhang Zhidong is not necessarily optimistic, in fact, now in the Huguang Army, it is already full of unstable factors, and many grassroots officers are not willing to be buried with the Zhang family.

As long as the war began, Tang Haoran believed that there was no need for the Northeast Army to do anything, and that the Jiangsu Army and the Shaanxi-Gansu Army would be enough to break Zhang Zhidong's resistance, but there was no need at all, he knew what Zhang Zhidong wanted, so he would go south and come to Nanjing.

"Zhang Xiangshuai is my old friend, unless I have to do it, how can I bear to meet him in battle!"

Shaking his head, Tang Haoran pretended to sigh and said.

"I swear to you today that unless Zhang Xiangshuai meets my soldiers first, I will never send troops to attack Huguang ......"

This is a high-sounding statement, but in fact, no one knows better than Tang Haoran, Zhang Xiangtao doesn't want to meet each other, he needs a step, all he needs is a step, he has worked hard all his life but lost to the hands of a younger generation, how can he not need a step, he is not someone else, he is the "second governor of the world" who has been fighting against Li Hongzhang for more than ten years, this face......

This face, give it to him!

Not only to give it to him, but Tang Haoran will also give him the whole, because he knows very well that for China's traditional Shilin, Zhang Zhidong is a certain degree of leader, perhaps, Tang Haoran has already abandoned the heart, but now is also not the time to completely abandon them, after all, when the new system has not yet been fully established, it is still necessary to have a certain dependence on the old system, and more importantly, the current empire is only just the beginning, the foundation is not yet solid, and foreign affairs have not been calmed, what is needed internally is appeasement, not an iron fist. And no one is more suitable for this role than Zhang Zhidong, in the same way, his "leniency" towards Zhang Zhidong can also be exchanged for more "benevolent" voices for himself, and in Chinese tradition, Zhang Zhidong still has a "half-teacher feeling" for himself, in public and private, Tang Haoran must give Zhang Zhidong's face.

"Compared with Bihuguang, now, I think the more pressing question in the south is, the civil war, when will the civil war end!"

When Tang Haoran mentioned the civil war, Liu Nengji was stunned, he looked at His Majesty a little inexplicably, as if he didn't understand what he meant, the civil war, this didn't start? You won't be allowed to fight this lake for a long time, what kind of civil war is there there?

In Liu Nengji's unclear reason, Tang Haoran continued.

"Jiangxi, how can the people's army in Jiangxi solve it, do they agree to put down their arms and return to the imperial court?" (To be continued.) )
