To be honest, Su Yan's feelings for Qian Qianyi are a little complicated.

On the one hand, as the leader of the Donglin Party, he was favored by the imperial court, but he was greedy for life and fear of death and bowed to the Qing court and knelt down to surrender.

Such a two-faced historical figure is extremely irresponsible and very unfair to him from only one point of view, and Su Yan considered that he had indeed helped himself several times, and his influence could also help him in the next battle of Jiangnan.

Therefore, he decided to give Qian Qianyi a chance to make ends meet, after all, no matter what, he is not a heinous person, at most he is just a moral loss.

After the summons of Qian Qianyi, the latter returned to the hotel where he stayed in the city, and hurriedly asked people to prepare paper, pen and ink, which Liu Ru helped to polish, and he wrote several letters of persuasion to surrender, and asked people to send them to several prefects in Jiangnan Province who knew him well.

……

On April 12, the battle began again.

After a few days of rest in Suzhou City, the Ming army continued to march northward, and the counties along the way were surrendered, and the army was able to successfully hit the city of Changzhou, where the prefect was friendly with Qian Qianyi, and saw that the Ming army was approaching the city, and took the initiative to open the city and surrender.

At the same time, after learning that the Ming army was coming, the people of Jiangyin spontaneously started an incident, killed officials and rebelled, and re-branded the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

But Bolo knew the importance of Nanjing, in order to keep the city of Nanjing from being captured by the Ming army, he acquiesced to Tan Tai, who was originally stationed in Huzhou, to withdraw to Nanjing, and the Huguang Qing army that survived the Yangtze River water battle also entered Nanjing.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Qing army on the south bank of the Yangtze River was concentrated in Nanjing, and Bolo resolutely chose a strong man to break his wrist, abandon all the cities on the south bank of the Yangtze River except Nanjing, and stick to the capital.

In fact, as early as when the Ming army defeated Ma Guozhu, Boluo sent people to ask for help from the Beijing division, claiming that the south of the Yangtze River was erosive, and begged the imperial court to send another army, but at present, the army of the imperial court is basically on the southwest line and confronted Sun Kewang of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Sun Kewang also launched a counterattack to Huguang, and the imperial court could only transfer troops from the north.

Bolo himself estimated that even in the most optimistic scenario, the imperial court's reinforcements would not arrive until June or July at the earliest, and with the Ming army's terrifying siege ability, it was difficult for him to imagine how far the war in Nanjing had developed at that time.

Looking back at the south bank of the Yangtze River outside Nanjing, under the background of the Qing army's shrinking strength, the people in various places killing officials and rising up, and attaching themselves to the Ming army, on April 22, the Ming army captured Zhenjiang, an important town in the east of Nanjing.

Subsequently, Su Yan ordered a large number of supplies to be transported from Zhejiang to Zhenjiang, intending to build this side into a logistics base for attacking Nanjing City, and at the same time ordered Wang Yi, who was stationed in Huzhou, to go north and attack Nanjing City with Su Yan.

On April 25, the Ming army's forwards, led by Ma Xin, appeared for the first time outside the Yaofang Gate and Xianhe Gate in the east of Nanjing, and engaged the Qing cavalry.

It should be explained here that if Nanjing is included in the Waiguo City, its scale deserves to be the largest city in the world.

However, because the walls of Outer Guo City stretched for dozens of miles, the existing troops were not enough to defend Outer Guo City, so Bolo decided to abandon Outer Guo City and mainly defend the inner city.

In order to prevent the Ming army from garrisoning the Purple Mountain, cannons were erected on the mountain to threaten the Mancheng (formerly the Ming Imperial Palace) in the west.

Bolo ordered Tan Tai to lead 8,000 soldiers and horses to build a camp on the top of the Purple Mountain, and use Nanjing City as horns to resist the siege of the Ming army.

After the Ming army fought with the Qing army, seeing that there were only a small number of Qing soldiers stationed on the two city gates, Ma Xin ordered people to cut down the surrounding woods, built several simple ladders, and boldly launched an attack on the city.

After a siege of the city, the Qing soldiers of the two gates were outnumbered and took the initiative to retreat, losing the city of Waiguo to the Ming army.

Ma Xin saw that the Qing soldiers retreated so decisively, for fear that there would be deception, he did not dare to continue to go deeper, but just climbed to the city wall, looked in the direction of the Purple Mountain, saw the military flag hunting on the Purple Mountain, and was slightly alarmed, and ordered someone to return to Zhenjiang to report that he would stay at the Qilin Gate.

Su Yan was not surprised by the deployment of the Qing army, the location of the Purple Mountain was indeed too embarrassing, it was not included in the scope of Nanjing, but was independent outside the city of Nanjing, and at the foot of the mountain on the west side was the Ming Imperial Palace, which was forcibly requisitioned as a full city.

As long as the Ming army occupies the Purple Mountain, it can condescendingly set up artillery and launch artillery bombardment into the city, and it is not difficult to understand that the Qing army stationed troops on the Purple Mountain in advance in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

However, Su Yan did not intend to give up the Purple Mountain because of this, he decided to annihilate the Qing army on the Purple Mountain first and occupy the mountain, there were two reasons for this, one is that the terrain of the Purple Mountain is indeed too superior, and it can overlook the entire city of Nanjing, and the other is that after the Qing army is annihilated, it can not only deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Qing army, but also weaken the available strength of the Qing army.

So, on April 27, the Ming army passed through the Qilin Gate and Yaofang Gate and arrived at the foot of the Purple Mountain, but Su Yan did not immediately rush to attack the Qing army on the Purple Mountain, but first ordered Zhang Tianlu, the governor of Jiangnan, to draw a map of Nanjing's city defense.

Zhang Tianlu was also stationed in Nanjing for a period of time, so he knew a lot about Nanjing's city defense map, and after he drew it, he drew a general city defense map of Nanjing.

Nanjing City is divided into palace city, imperial city, inner city, and outer Guo city from the inside to the outside, but after the Qing court forcibly divided the Ming Imperial Palace into a full city, there are only three city walls left: the full city, the inner city and the outer Guo city, among which the outer Guo city is the longest, which is not conducive to defense, so the Qing army mainly defends the inner city of the core.

After this period of shrinkage, the Qing army gathered more than 31,000 troops in Nanjing, including 4,000 garrison Eight Banner Army, more than 2,000 Qing troops in Huguang, more than 19,000 Tan Tai troops, and more than 6,000 Qing troops in various places.

After some thought, Su Yan prepared to attack mainly from four directions.

The first direction was the Yangtze River, and the headquarters led by Huang An, the commander of Zheng's naval division, and ten warships under Su Yan's command landed outside the fence gate and Jiangdong gate to launch an attack.

In the second direction, Wang Yi, the right attendant of the military department, led the headquarters to enter from the clamping gate of the outer Guocheng and attacked the Jubao Gate of the inner city.

In the third direction, Su Ci led 6,000 soldiers and 5,000 punishment battalions to bypass the Purple Mountain and launch an attack outside the Shence Gate.

In the fourth direction, Su Yan personally led the main force to besiege the Qing army camp of the Purple Mountain, and after he took the Purple Mountain, the armies launched a siege on the inner city of Nanjing.

, it's just a momentary mottled streamer. Looking up at the starry sky, there is always a sadness that the end is doomed, where will you and I be thousands of years later? Home and country, the fire of civilization, and the earth are just a speck of dust in deep space. A moment in the starry sky, a thousand years in the world. The insect song is not autumn, and you and I are fighting for the same time. What's at the end of deep space? iReading app

The train went away, and the vibration with the rails brought up a large number of yellow fallen leaves, and also brought the gloom of autumn.

Wang Xuan watched, and it was not until the train gradually disappeared that he withdrew his gaze and sent a few more classmates away.

Since then, they will be separated, and they don't know how many years before they can see each other again, and even some people will never meet again.

Around, some people were still waving their hands slowly, not putting them down for a long time, and some people were silent, quite sad.

After four years of college, we have walked together, and the friendship accumulated is always a little difficult to let go.

The afterglow of the setting sun obliquely illuminates the falling yellow leaves, mottled with light and shadow, intertwining the sense of the passage of several years.

The sound of waves like a Sanskrit song sounded around him, and the intense light began to rise rapidly, and the huge golden light and shadow reflected behind him. Tang San's gaze was like lightning in an instant, staring into the air.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" burst out from the Heavenly Flower, and a huge pillar of golden light rose into the sky, soaring straight into the sky.

The Heavenly Fox Great Demon Emperor not far away only felt a shocking will erupt, the entire Hell Garden trembled violently, the flowers began to wither rapidly, and all the luck seemed to be condensing towards that golden pillar of light.

His face changed drastically, but at the same time, he didn't dare to slack off, and he shook his body, and he had already shown his original form, turning into a nine-tailed sky fox with a length of more than 100 meters, and each guard had a length of more than 300 meters. Radiating a large amount of luck into the Hell Garden, the iReading app stabilized the plane.

The Garden of Hell must not be shattered, otherwise, it will be a devastating disaster for the Sky Fox Clan.

Ancestral Garden, Heavenly Fox Holy Mountain.

The golden light that had already converged suddenly became strong again, and not only that, but the body of the Heavenly Fox Sacred Mountain also emitted a white light, but the white light seemed to collapse inward, pouring inward.

A pillar of golden light rose into the sky without warning, instantly soaring into the sky.

The emperors who had just resisted a thunderstorm again almost subconsciously dispersed. And in the next moment, the golden pillar of light had already rushed into the clouds.

The inky black clouds were instantly lit up and turned into dark golden clouds, and all the purple color disappeared at this moment, replaced by huge golden thunder. It seemed to be filled with the anger of the entire plane.
