Chapter 614: Rushing Forward

For three hundred years, the Yangshi Dynasty,

How to flee with all the civil and military forces.

Tsunatsune stayed in Beida-in,

The beggar is ashamed to save his life. ”

Huang Wenchang's soldiers were bloodless, and took the southern capital in one fell swoop, in the city, except for the eunuch Han Zanzhou, who swore not to surrender, and killed himself with a knife in front of the Daming Gate of the Forbidden City in the southern capital, In addition, there was a beggar, who was said to be a Xiucai background, seeing Qian Qianyi and others shameless ugliness, he angrily jumped into the river to commit suicide, and the rest of the officials either said that they were ordered by the imperial court, or closed the door to thank the guests, and no longer asked about the affairs of the imperial court.

Once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out. After seeing that the southern capital was so prosperous, Huang Wenchang, the prince of Zhao Guogong, moved his mind, His Royal Highness King Yan asked us to attack the southern capital, what does this mean? Didn't you just want to compensate me for Lao Huang?

So after entering the city, it was to let Hou Fangyu pass the word for himself, although His Royal Highness King Yan dictated that the officials of the southern capital only need to pay fifty percent of the family property to retain the title and official position, but a few days ago, the southern capital shelled the Wang Division's naval army, causing the official army to lose 560 large and small warships, 2,000 large and small artillery, and 16,400 casualties among the soldiers.

According to 1,000 taels per warship, 600 taels of artillery, the pension of the soldiers, and the mental loss of Zhao Guogong, a total of 5.6 million taels must be paid, and whoever dares not to take the initiative to pay will be punished for resisting the king and disrespecting the king, Zhao Guogong is not afraid of His Royal Highness King Yan asking for the crime, he has real evidence in his hands, if you don't believe it, you can ask the people in the southern capital, who doesn't know that on July 4, the puppet Ming Navy Division won a great victory, and the blowing up of the Wangshi warship was not counted, and the river was really bloody.

Qian Qianyi, Wang Duo and others were dumbfounded, in the battle of Pukou, if you lose so much, you can still cross the Yangtze River, by this time, who doesn't know that Xu Yunjue and they colluded with you Zhao Guogong, and it was also the ship he prepared to let you cross the river, and now you will lose 5.6 million taels when you open your mouth, this is fooling us as fools.

But people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, you Huang Guogong wants, can we not give it? If you don't give it, you will really be exterminated.

Of course, Huang Wenchang, as the lord of the Ming Dynasty, is still decent, and if he says that he will receive 5.6 million taels, he will never accept 5.61 million taels, of course, as close allies, the nobles of the Southern Capital do not need to pay, after all, they have contributed.

After getting the silver, Grandpa Huang invited Sun Kewang, a cabinet scholar who had arrived in Huaiyang, into the southern capital, and threw all the aftermath of the government affairs and the collection of family property to Sun Kewang, and he ordered Zhang Da, Xu Zhijian and others to lead the troops to pursue Guiwang Zhu Changying and Ma Shiying and others, and went to Wennan Zhili to various prefectures, and was instructed by King Yan to take only Zhou Yanru's family, Ma Shiying and Gui Fan's family If they are willing to return to Nandu, the court is still not to blame, if they are captured by the official army, they will be dealt with as treason.

At the same time that the southern capital was broken, Dangtu, the seat of the Taiping Mansion, was also surrounded by the imperial army, and the 70,000 army surrounded the city.

After the siege of the city, Yang Biao, the governor of Huguang, broke the southern capital, and all the officials of Donglin took the affairs of the imperial court to shoot the book in the city, and Shi Kefa immediately opened the city and surrendered.

In the face of the imperial army, Shi Kefa had no way to deal with it, and the general soldiers of Nanzhili, Pan Dake and Li Qifeng, who were originally under the Duke of Wei, actually took the opportunity to attack Shi Kefa's superintendent and killed Ma Yingkui, the commander of his own army, He Gang, Zhuang Zizhou, Chen Yujie, an expert in the artillery team, Liu Zhaoji, the chief soldier, Shi Kefa and his adopted son Shi Dewei, and opened Tu Nancheng to welcome the imperial court.

After defeating Dangtu, Yang Biao escorted Shi Kefa and others into the lobby and asked him why he resisted the imperial army.

Yang Biao also knew that Shi Kefa had a good reputation in Jiangnan, so he said in a harmonious voice: "I asked for a letter before, but Mr. didn't obey." Mr. Jin's loyalty and righteousness have been surrendered to the south, and he should be the heavy responsibility to clean up the south of the Yangtze River for King Yan. ”

Shi Kefa replied: "Since I have been defeated, I only want to die. ”

Gu Qian Yang Biao smiled and asked, "Don't you see Qian Qianyi and the others?" If you descend, the family can be preserved, and His Royal Highness King Yan can also promise Juelu, but when today's son is the descendant of the first emperor, why should the prince be persistent. ”

Shi Kefa said angrily: "I received the kindness of the first emperor and did not die, and he lived for his life, how can I follow his example?"

Yang Biao couldn't figure it out, obviously this dog thing, afraid of the enemy like a tiger, gave up the danger all the way, and retreated to this peace, where there was no danger to keep, why was he captured alive by us, but he was not afraid of death.

"Left and right, and Ben Shuai will take him into custody and send him to Jingshi, where he will be disposed of by His Royal Highness King Yan."

Although Yang Biao couldn't figure it out, he really didn't dare to execute Shi Kefa without authorization, so he had no choice but to escort people to Jingshi and hand over this hot potato to Li Xingzhi.

After the Taiping, Yang Biao did not continue to advance eastward, but ordered all the ministries to directly enter the territory of Jiangxi, and issued a proclamation, all the officials of the Southern Ming puppet dynasty were ordered by the imperial court, and the official positions were retained, and those who resisted the heavenly soldiers were punished by the nine clans.

On 11 July, the Jingbei Army independently attacked Raozhou, and at the same time, the Yangtze River Naval Division also drove directly to Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, along Poyang Lake, and divided its troops to attack various places.

Due to the collapse of the regime of King Gui in the southern capital, the conditions for the imperial court to appease were very favorable, and officials and generals from all over the country asked for surrender, which also benefited from the fact that the Jingbei Army held the righteousness of the imperial court, such as Jianchang, De'an and other important towns on the right side of the river, but there was no resistance.

On the third day of the first month of August, the Jingbei Army marched southward, and the garrisons of the three counties under the jurisdiction of Linjiang Prefecture, Xingan, Xinyu, and Xiajiang surrendered when they heard the wind, and not a single officer or soldier dared to refuse to defend the city.

On the seventh day of the first month of August, the Jingbei Army independently conquered Qingjiang County, where Linjiang Fucheng was located, pursued and killed Li Yannian, the general soldier of Qingjiang who was loyal to the puppet dynasty, until the Fengcheng area, and captured Zhao Sihan, the prefect of Linjiang, and Wu Yiming, the commander of the palm print, and others.

On August 15, the Jingbei Army pursued Li Yannian's troops to Ji'an, and the prefect of Ji'an Prefecture took photos of the military power of the Jingbei Army, surrendered in Kaesong, and the independent nine towns then divided their troops in Ji'an, all the way to Guangxin, and continued to pursue Li Yannian all the way to the south.

On August 21, Li Yannian fled to Ganzhou, but Ganzhou did not accept it, and went to Xinfeng instead, intending to invade Guangdong Province, but was ensnared by Yang Zhenwu, the general soldier of Ganzhou in the Ming Dynasty, in Longnan, so the entire Jiangxi fell under the control of the Jingbei Army.

At the same time, the new eight towns and towns also drove Gao Jie's department straight in.

On July 10, Li Chengdong's troops of Xinba Town broke through Wuxi, and went to Yixing, captured all 507 members of the 10 tribes of Zhou Yanru, and then entered Zhejiang, and went straight to Hangzhou, the provincial capital of Zhejiang Province.

On 16 July, Gao Jie and his nephew Li Benshen attacked Suzhou with light troops, and formed a pincer offensive with Li Chengdong's troops, intending to recover Zhejiang Province in one fell swoop, so as to prevent the remnants of Donglin from supporting Lu Fan to re-imprison the country, and at the same time arresting Wu Changshi, Zhou Zhonglian and other prisoners.

The Jingbei Army rushed forward, but the naval division Zheng Hongkui, who entered the southern capital, fled in a hurry, and there was no way to evacuate the Yangtze River.
