Unlike what Yabu and others thought, Zheng Kezhang took Jingkou only to cut off the last complete water force of the Qing army in the Yangtze River, as for the defense of Jingkou and Zhenjiang, in fact, he did not invest too many troops, but only stationed three Hailongxiang divisions, and the rest of the army all went straight to Jiangning and went ashore one after another on the front line of Longtan, Qixia and Wulong Mountain, and then entered Shicheng from the east and north, and surrounded the Liangjiang Governor Fu Lata and Jingkou General Jin Shirong.

In view of Zheng Chenggong's defeat that year, as soon as Zheng's army arrived in Jiangning, he immediately arranged artillery positions and carried out fierce artillery bombardment of the city wall with large and small artillery. However, Zhu Yuanzhang took 21 years to build the Nanjing city wall, which lasted more than 200 years, and it is still strong and abnormal, not to mention that Zheng Jun's regimental light artillery cannot be shaken, even if the division's three-and-a-half-inch (12-pound) artillery bombardment is just a disturbing itch that is not light or heavy, only the heavy four-inch siege artillery is still a slight threat to the city wall, but the number is too small, and the second is that the cannon body is too heavy, even if it is delivered with the highest priority, there are only a few that are really transported to the front line.

Of course, the artillery bombardment of the Zheng army still diluted the attention of the Qing army, and a considerable number of Qing troops were attracted to the front line of Yifengmen (Xingzhong Gate), Zhongfu Gate, Jinchuan Gate, and Shence Gate (Peace Gate), so that Fu Lata, who was still overstretched after collecting some of the Eight Banners of Jingkou, could only order to block the rest of the city gates.

Seeing that the artillery bombardment could not be effective for a while, Zheng Kezang, who was unwilling and unable to stop his troops under the fortified city, immediately ordered the excavation of tunnels under the west and north city walls with great fanfare. Although Zheng Jun could only play tricks of fiction and reality, the Qing army had to set up a wide range of listening urns to prepare for Zheng Jun's possible actions.

"Lord, the tent of the Chinese army camp on the shogunate mountain has been arranged." Chen Tong, the chief of the guard standing behind Zheng Kezang, reported to Zheng Kezang. "Several of the commanders have also received orders to go to the camp after noon." Chen Tong looked at Zheng Kezang, who was still carefully looking at Nanjing's city defense with a clairvoyant mirror. "Lord, it's time to disembark."

"The shape is impermanent, the military situation changes all the time, and it is true that there should be no generals in front of the army." Zheng Kezang's words have a bit of a ridiculous flavor, in fact, according to Zheng Jun's system, there is no general staff and deputy capital control, and there will be no problem that the commander-in-chief will not be able to respond in time if the army is not in charge. "Besides, the scene on the other side of Jingkou can't be hidden from Yabu for how long, so it's better to take Nanjing as soon as possible to feel at ease." As he spoke, Zheng Kezhang put away the telescope in his hand. "Change ships, go ashore"

"Nanjing's city defense is of course very strong, but the Qing garrison is too few, there is no possibility of covering everything, and now the land division of this domain has gathered under the city of Nanjing, except for the eight divisions in Fujian and Guangdong and the Zuo Wuwei division that stayed in Dongning, and the remaining eight divisions have all gathered under the city of Nanjing, which can be described as a desperate gamble." Zheng Kezhang swept the military ministers in front of him. "The future of this domain, the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty, and the future of the Han people are here, and I hope that Zhuqing will fight hard."

"The ministers will definitely live up to the high expectations of the lord," the military leaders led by Wu Shu and Lin Sheng responded in unison. "Take the city of Nanjing, be ashamed of the first king, fight for the future of the domain, continue the national fortune for the Ming Dynasty, and don't be a slave for the Han people in the world!"

Zheng Kezhang nodded with satisfaction: "Nanjing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, if it can be restored, the saint will not hesitate to reward the prince." ”

Hearing Zheng Kezang's promise, the ministers with bright eyes made another vow, to which Zheng Kezhang waved his hand and said: "Lone was originally unwilling to use the flesh and blood of the warriors in the domain to restore the famous city, but the Nanjing city defense was strong and the artillery fire of the domain was ineffective, and there were many obstacles to digging tunnels, so"

Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang accentuated his tone: "As long as Nanjing City is alone, don't want casualties." ”

The ministers were shocked, Zheng Kezhang noticed this, and his tone eased: "In the past few days, the temptation of this domain has also had certain results, but it is a fact that the Qing army in Jinling City is not strong, and its main force is contained in the north of the city for this domain, so I hope that Zhuqing will inform the whole army to inspire all departments to fight bravely to kill the enemy."

The long night has passed, the sky is getting brighter little by little, Zheng Jun, who had had breakfast at the beginning of the year, gathered, April was supposed to be a rainy day in the Jiangnan area, but it seemed to know that there would be a bloody battle today, the sun rose early, and the land that was full of water was gradually roasted dry.

The Qing army defending the city found these Zheng soldiers waiting in front of them early in the morning, and they were nervous from the soldiers to the generals. At this time, the rumbling cannon sound again intensified their worries and fears, so much so that even first-class officials like Fu Rata and Jin Shirong hurried to the city to supervise the battle.

However, the battle did not start from the northern city on the line of Shence Gate and Jinchuan Gate, on the contrary, the left and right sound divisions first attacked Chaoyangmen (Zhongshan Gate) and Zhengyangmen (Guanghua Gate). When countless Zheng troops threw the bundled floating gear in their hands into the wide Nanjing moat, the Qing army in Dongcheng could only tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and draw reinforcements from Taipingmen, Tongjimen and other places.

However, the subsequent attacks launched by the left and right tiger divisions of the Zheng army at Jubaomen (Zhonghua Gate) and Sanshan Gate (Shuixi Gate), and the left and right Shenwu divisions at Shichengmen (Hanxi Gate), Qingliangmen (also known as Qingjiang Gate), Huaiyuan Gate (Dinghuai Gate) and other places made the Qing army tired to deal with. Fu Rata and Jin Shirong knew that they had fallen for Zheng Jun's plan to contain them, but in the face of the two divisions of the Left Longxiang Division and the Right Tiger Guard Division, which were still outside the Shence Gate, Jinchuan Gate, and Zhongfu Gate, they could not easily mobilize troops to help.

After a short discussion, Jin Shirong rushed to Yifengmen to transfer 500 guards, and personally led his troops to reinforce Huaiyuanmen. However, the forces that the Qing army had managed to draw were only a drop in the bucket in the face of the Zheng army's attack regardless of casualties. At the beginning of the time, the first team of the Zuo Huben division selected the first team to climb the city wall on the edge of the Jubao Gate, and then the Zheng army broke through the city defense in Qingliangmen and Guanghuamen.

Hearing that Zhengyangmen was conquered by the Zheng army, the city was threatened, and Fu Rata didn't care about guarding the four gates in the north, so he hurriedly led his troops to retreat to Taipingmen, trying to retreat to Mancheng through Houzaimun. Although Fu Lata tried to retreat quietly, the Qing army, which had become a frightened bird, could not do this, so that as soon as the retreat began, Yin Mintong and Chen Baoquan, who had already received the flood report, judged the movement of the Qing army and immediately commanded the two divisions of Right Huwei and Zuo Longxiang to launch a strong attack.

Seeing that the two divisions of the Right Tiger Guard began to attack the city, the guards of each gate panicked, some of them led their troops to speed up the retreat, some commanded their subordinates to turn back to defend the city, and some took off their clothes and armor and fled into the houses in the city with their scattered subordinates, so that Fu Rata finally fled back to the city from Houzaimun and Xihuamen with less than 1,500 troops.

But even if Fu Rata fled back to Mancheng, the overall situation of Nanjing's change of hands could not be changed, and the Zheng army who broke into the city opened the closed city gate, and more Zheng troops poured into the ancient capital along the open city gate, and soon the Zheng army completely controlled the entire Nanjing city outside the city, including the Liangjiang Governor Xingyuan, the Domain, the Grain Road, Jiangning Weaving, Jiangning Mansion, Jiangning County, Shangyuan County and other official offices that once served as the Kangxi Palace fell into the hands of Zheng Jun.

At the same time, after paying nearly 1,000 casualties, the Left Shooter also gained a firm foothold on the city wall near Chaoyang Gate, and even hoisted several two-and-a-half-inch (4-pounder) field guns on the head of the city to shoot directly at targets throughout the city. Although the power of Zheng's light artillery was actually very small, the cannonballs fired from the city walls still weakened the fighting spirit of the remnants of the Qing army in the city.

At the end of the afternoon, Tongji Gate and the adjacent Mancheng Gate fell into the hands of Zheng Jun, and then Zheng Jun conquered Xihua Gate, so far only Houzaimun remained in the hands of the Qing army, but at this moment Fu Lata has no power to return to the sky. With the successive fall of the Dutong Yamen and the General Yamen, the remnants of the Qing army have been compressed between Houzaimun and Taipingmen, and the total strength is less than 700 people.

Fu Lata, who was dressed in the clothes of a first-class official, was covered with blood at the moment, of course, this was not his own, but watching the guards around him fall one by one, Fu Lata, who was holding the sword in his hand, could only look up to the sky and sigh, and then knocked three times in the direction of Nanfang Kangxi and pulled the sword on his neck.

As soon as Fu Latta died, the Qing army around him was even more unmotivated, and the clever ones fled from the Taiping Gate into the Purple Mountain, and the dull ones fell to their knees waiting for the judgment of fate, and some people learned that Fu Latta committed suicide thinking that the Qing court was loyal, and soon the last resistance also collapsed, and Nanjing completely fell into the hands of Zheng Jun.

The news of finding the corpses of Jin Shirong and Fu Lata was conveyed to the Zheng army camp in Shogunate Mountain, and the whole camp was cheering, and in a burst of long-lived mountain shouts, Zheng Kezhang calmly ordered: "Withdraw the six divisions of the left and right tiger ben, the left and right Shenwu, and the left and right shooting voices out of the city and immediately regroup, and the left and right dragon division will be stationed in Mancheng, and the right tiger guard division will rectify the security of Jiangning and Shangyuan counties, and all the chaotic armies will be suppressed together."

The guards who ordered the order retreated, Zheng Kezhang returned to the map and looked at it, and Wu Shutan on the side asked: "Since Nanjing has been conquered, should this army remove the threat of Yabu's headquarters next?" ”

"Yabu and Muzina are only 20,000, although they are the elite of the Eight Banners of the Forbidden Brigade, but it is impossible to say how much strength they can have in the land of the Jiangnan Water Network." Zheng Kezhang looked back at the Zhejiang general soldier. "Lone is wondering, should I be afraid that a force will go west to Wuhu and Anqing while going south to take Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Zheng Kezhang said that it was also Zhang Huangyan's strategy for marching back then, but Zheng Chenggong's success was so successful that Zhang Huangyan returned in vain. "But now the troops of this domain are not sufficient, even if they transfer troops, they can only transfer more than one division, and they will recover Wuhu and Anqing one after another."

Wu Shu knew the song and knew the elegant meaning, and immediately bowed slightly to Zheng Kezang: "The minister, please lead a division to the west, and the Lord will obtain southern Anhui and Anqing, so as to set the western barrier of the south of the Yangtze River for the bottom of this domain." ”

"Good, very good," Zheng Kezhang nodded happily. "With Wu Qing out of the horse, Lone will be relieved." said Zheng Kezhang assured. "The Lone Club will arrange for the sailor to go with him, and he will never let Qing become a lonely."
