Just when Hong Chengchou just set off, Cao Wenzhao has led his soldiers and horses to Jinling, into the essence of the south of the Yangtze River, in addition to his trip to quell the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, but also to rectify the army in the south, and Jinling because of the Ming Dynasty's capital, so in addition to a full set of civilian officials here, there are also a large number of troops, it stands to reason that this army is also shouldering the task of maintaining stability in the south of the Yangtze River, but as early as a hundred years ago this army was completely rotten, when the Japanese invaded, A few dozen pirates can scare tens of thousands of troops into not daring to leave the city, so how dare they go out to battle without authorization this time?

On several occasions before, because the rebels tried to attack the workshops of some noble families in Jinling, they used the garrison of Jinling to stop them, but these troops were scattered by the rebels very easily, not only did they not drive these rebels away, but they also robbed them of a lot of armor and ordnance, which was simply a loss for the lady and the soldiers.

Cao Wenzhao's feelings are quite complicated in this regard, if they were not too incompetent, they would not have gotten this opportunity, it can be seen that the army of the Ming Dynasty has become like this, and he feels extremely sad.

The army slowly entered the city in a neat line, and the pace was the same during the march, no one turned to each other, all of them held their heads high, coupled with the murderous aura that they had cultivated in many battles with Jiannu, which immediately shocked the people of Jiangnan who came to see the excitement.

"It's... It's like a heavenly soldier! It took a long time for someone to wake up and open their mouths wide in praise.

"Even compared to Grandpa Qi's army back then, it is not lagging behind." An old man who had witnessed the demeanor of the Qi family's army echoed and said, seeing the arrival of such an army, their worries finally settled down, and now Jiangnan can finally restore peace, I believe that General Cao will immediately quell this turmoil, right?

"General, Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, and many other high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Jinling invited the general to the banquet." Seeing this, those local snakes also immediately took action, and tried to get close to Cao Wenzhao, so that he could send troops to solve his own problems first, or simply use Cao Wenzhao's power to teach his enemies a hard lesson.

"Baoguo Gong Zhu Guobi?" Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but shake his head, this person's ancestor was the famous general Zhu Neng who made great contributions in the Battle of Jingjing, but the Zhu family has not led troops to fight for many years, this current Baoguo Gong is just a gentleman, quite a lot of heroes can be in the fat powder team and on the Qinhuai River, Cao Wenzhao is not interested in dealing with him at all, "Let's just say that Your Majesty has a will, and you are not allowed to make friends with local officials and gentry during the expedition." ”

In the future, Zhu Guobi also did a lot of ridiculous things, when the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, he summoned thousands of Jinling garrisons to put on a show for him to marry Kou Baimen, one of the eight Yan of Qin Huai, if Li You's subordinates had such a person fly off his head, what is this to treat the country's army?

However, Kou Baimen didn't have a good life here for a few days in Zhu Guobi, and after experiencing the initial freshness, Zhu Guobi got tired of him and gradually ignored him; After the Qing army went south, Zhu Guobi didn't want their Zhu family to enjoy the wealth of the Ming Dynasty for many years, so he immediately took the initiative to go north and wanted to surrender to the Manchus.

Zhu Guobi wanted to sell Kou Baimen and the accompanying concubines in exchange for the silver to get out, but Kou Baimen said, even if you sell it, I can get a few hundred taels of silver at most, if you let me go south, I will make up tens of thousands of taels of silver to let you get out within a month; Zhu Guobi immediately agreed, and Kou Baimen scraped together 20,000 taels of silver with the help of his former sisters and went north to rescue Zhu Guobi; It's good that Zhu Guobi wants to get back to her, but unfortunately Kou Baimen has seen through his true colors, and said bluntly, you ransomed me with silver back then, and today I ransom you with silver, so you don't owe each other; This Kou Baimen's move is really countless times stronger than Zhu Guobi.

"Hmph, I don't know how to lift!" After being rejected, Zhu Guobi felt that he had lost face, but for a while he couldn't find a way to retaliate against Cao Wenzhao, so he had to go to the Qinhuai River to drink flower wine.

A few days later, the army was divided into several groups and drove out of Jinling City, and began to go everywhere to quell the turmoil, but it was very different from the attack on Jiannu, when Cao Wenzhao fought in Liaodong, the soldiers and horses under Cao Wenzhao's command were often killed, and to deal with these rebels was to capture them, and the fire guns and cannons could not be used, as long as they gave up the intention of resisting, they would no longer attack, and the captured people were also well settled, not only to eat and drink them, They even asked the doctors in the army to treat their injuries.

This caused great dissatisfaction among the gentry in Jiangnan, in their opinion, these Diao people did such a hateful thing, and let themselves suffer heavy losses, it was not enough to vent their anger without killing, what does it mean that Cao Wenzhao will give birth to them now? As a result, the magistrates of various prefectures and counties strongly demanded that Cao Wenzhao hand over the people to them for punishment.

However, now is no longer the time when civil officials can unscrupulously oppress military generals, Cao Wenzhao is Li You's close minister, and he has already received Li You's will before leaving Beijing, so he naturally refuses to hand over these people to them, and when he asked, he said, "Now that the imperial court has sent a messenger to take charge of this matter, these people will be judged by Lord Qincha, and the general will only arrest them first, and wait for Lord Qincha to arrive." ”

"Just a few things about the people, don't Lao Qin send adults to ask?" The magistrate who came to inquire said in an official tone.

"How many people are there? How many tens of thousands of people are there in my great camp now? Cao Wenzhao frowned, although he had not interrogated, but these people stayed in the camp and he also knew some things more or less, knowing that these were good people, if they were not desperate, they would not have done such things, in this Jiangnan turmoil, on the contrary, those gentry were more responsible; Thinking of His Majesty's precedent of dealing with displaced people in the northwest, he knew that these people would not be punished in multiple ways.

And looking at the meaning of those local officials, I am afraid that they are eager to peel these people and cramp, so that Cao Wenzhao will be even more unlikely to hand them over, "If there is a warrant from Lord Qincha, this general will release them immediately, if not, please go back." Cao Wenzhao drove people away.

These officials are naturally so angry that they don't fight, although their grades are far lower than Cao Wenzhao, but over the years, the inertial thinking of the noble and the military has penetrated into their bone marrow, so can they adapt in a hurry? But there is no way to adapt to it, looking at these soldiers who are not kind to the left, they don't dare to say anything, so they have to say goodbye and leave.
