Chapter 0560: Breaking Jiankang
"Water, water! ......" Ran Min woke up leisurely, and stretched out his hand to shout for water as if he had cheated on a corpse.
A bowl of water was handed over, and Ran Min drank it in one gulp. When he opened his eyes and came to his senses completely, he found that he was lying on the carriage, and next to him was sitting Qin Mu, who was holding his hand, and this bowl of water was handed by him.
Rubbing his temples, Ran Min said in a hoarse voice: "Qin Mu, what time is it?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's time for Shen now."
Shen Shi is the three o'clock to five o'clock in the later generations.
"How long have I been asleep?"
"About four hours."
"Where are we?"
"It's already past Xuanwu and has entered the realm of Jiankang." Qin Mu said: "Your Majesty, the army has all landed, and it has surrounded Jiankang City. ”
Qin Mu and Ran Min and Qiang Erhu had already retreated and retreated to Qiaocheng, and the army had already arrived under Jiankang City, and by the way, he discussed the matter with Xun Ji, Wei Zheng and others. They sent Wei Liao and Ran Ke out to intercept the remnants of the Jin army that might be passing by in the vicinity of Xiakou and Yicheng.
Hearing that so many things had happened in the few hours that he had been asleep, Rao is Ran Min was thick-skinned, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed at this time, and his cheeks were hot.
"Qin Mu, am I out of shape this time?"
"Yes." Qin Mu said bluntly: "Your Majesty is romantic, everyone knows it, but Your Majesty, you should not have threatened to make all Jiangdong stunning in front of those generals of the Jin Kingdom, and you should include the Queen Mother of the Jin Kingdom, Chu Garlic, Princess Nankang, Princess Xunyang and other beauties into the harem." Even if Your Majesty really wants to do this in your heart, you shouldn't come out, it will make those Jin generals feel embarrassed. ”
"I really shouldn't have been. It's not an example, it's not an example. ”
Ran Min immediately stretched out an arm and wanted to stand up, but he couldn't do it, and he almost didn't fall down again, but fortunately, Qin Mu was on the side to help him get up.
This body is really getting worse and worse, and he is still drinking heavily during the day, and it is estimated that Ran Min is not very sober now.
Ran Min immediately lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage, and stood at the front of the carriage to watch. This is a carriage pulled by six horses, walking slowly, and bumping from time to time, if it weren't for Ran Min sleeping soundly, it is estimated that he would not be able to lie down at all.
Around the carriage, the stubborn Wei soldiers were marching in a staggered manner, divided into six columns, with no end in sight, and a large area of black pressure was like a red wave.
And where the Wei army passed, it was a dilapidated village and town, broken walls and ruins, and the corpses were everywhere, except for the Wei army, there was no living soul, and even the trees were burned black, "withered vines and old trees, faint crows, bridges and flowing waters", what a poignant scene it originally looked like, but in this troubled world, it was a symbol of ten rooms and nine emptiness, and corpses pillows.
"This ...... Did it all happen to Yao Xiang and Pu Jing's subordinates? Ran Min's voice was very cold, and even exuded a thick murderous aura.
"Yes. Your Majesty, within a radius of 100 miles from Jiankang City, there is no life. There were more than 100,000 dead, and the Han women who were captured by the Hu people, because of the pressure of our soldiers, they sank more than 10,000 Han women into the Yangtze River! The middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are already bloody! ”
Hearing this, Ran Min couldn't help clenching his fists tightly, and the green tendons in the corners of his forehead burst out, but in the end it was nothing.
"I, hereby swear that I will not crush Pu Jing and Yao Xiang to ashes, and I will never give up!"
According to Ran Min's original plan, he had no choice but to open up to Yao Xiang and Pu Jing's subordinates, send envoys to recruit them, and then take them for his own use. But now it seems that these Hu people are really wild and untamable, full of evil, not killing, not enough to be angry with the people, not to kill, not enough to comfort!
Soon, Ran Min's team rushed to Jiankang City.
And when he arrived, the five hundred red-clothed cannons under Jiankang City had been lined up, and the soldiers were holding their weapons high, fighting high, and setting up more than a dozen huge phalanxes, ready to attack Jiankang City at any time.
Wei Zheng lowered his hand towards Ran Min and said, "Your Majesty, the three armies are ready to attack at any time!" ”
"Didn't the Jin people go out of the city and surrender?"
"No, there is no news at all, and the people of Sakura Jin seem to be planning to fight us to the end!"
"Nope." Ran Min waved his hand and said, "It's impossible to die, and the Jin people don't have this need." They will surely abandon the city and flee. Order, all the red-coated cannons fired a salvo, and every other tea time, five shells were fired! Let's knock on the mountain and shake the tiger! ”
"No!"
Wei Zheng immediately conveyed Ran Min's military order.
"Fire!"
Soon the five hundred red-clothed cannons were calibrated, and the swarthy muzzles were aimed at the head of Jiankang's city, and there was a burst of bombardment.
"Boom! Bang! ......" came one after another with a terrible loud noise, followed by a cannon shell, cutting through the edge, directly smashing into the city of Jiankang, the bluestone bricks were blown up, and the dust was everywhere.
"Ahhh ...... "The Jin soldiers who were hit by artillery fire were in pain.
Look at the Jin army commander who was holding a spear, his arms were blown away, his arms were empty, and red blood came out, and half of the gloomy white bones were exposed. The chief wailed, fell to the ground and rolled back and forth, his painful eyes protruding, miserable!
What's more, after being bombarded by artillery fire, the body was blown to pieces, the flesh and blood were blurred, and a head was destroyed!
The power of the redcoat cannon is beyond doubt.
After five rounds of bombardment, the entire city walls of Jiankang City became pitted, rubble was splashed everywhere, and the city was full of blood, and corpses and wreckage were everywhere.
"This ...... Is this the red-coated cannon of the Wei army? What a terrible power! It's like thunder! Sima Wuji, who was in charge of supervising the war, had already ducked away, and when he saw that the bombardment had ended, he climbed to the top of the city tremblingly under the cover of several shield players.
It is not a sane act to fight against such an army with such horrific weapons!
Sima Wuji couldn't stay any longer, and then asked people to inform the Queen Mother Chu Garlic that this Jiankang City couldn't be defended, so let them run away quickly!
The power of the red-coated cannon is very strong, and this solid Jiankang City alone will not last long. If nothing else, the rumbling sound of the shelling alone scared the new recruits who had just stepped on the battlefield to pee their pants!
It's a fart in this fight!
After a cup of tea, the Wei army continued to shell five rounds, but never launched an attack.
But it didn't take long for the gates of Jiankang City to open on all sides, and countless Jin people rushed to escape. But among the people who escaped, there were not only Jin soldiers, not only scholars in gorgeous clothes, but also more unarmed ordinary people.
Seeing that the Jin army was fleeing with so many ordinary people, Ran Min secretly cursed despicable in his heart.
"Your Majesty, do you want to rush?" Wei Liao asked stupidly.
Ran Min slapped him directly on his helmet and said, "Rush, rush!" So many people, tens of thousands of people escaped with the Jin army, didn't we rush over and force these people to death? What will happen to me Ran Min when the time comes? ”
The Jin people were sure that Ran Min would not do anything to harm innocent people, so they would coerce these people out.
There is no way, if you rush head-on, it is estimated that the Jin army will not be able to escape, and there will be so many princes and ministers in the middle, as well as the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, and there are many concubines in the harem. These people can't be surprised!
Ran Min is now in a dilemma, either he will lead the army to rush over and kill them, and these Jin troops and the common people will be wiped out, and he will be infamous from then on. Either stop chasing and let these people from the Eastern Jin Dynasty escape.
But no matter what the result is, Ran Min doesn't want to see it.
Fortunately, he still has a back hand.
"Your Majesty, Chu Garlic and the Emperor, as well as a cadre of the Jin State, must be mixed with the people, should we look for it?" Wei Zheng said loudly.
Ran Min waved his hand and said lightly: "There are so many people, how can we find them?" Forget it, the soldiers who surrender without a fight, we have already taken advantage of it! Pass the order down, and the whole army will enter the city! In the city, all soldiers are not allowed to do things that corrupt military discipline, and they are not allowed to take a stitch or a thread from the common people, a single grass or tree, and those who violate it will be engaged in military law! ”
"No!" The crowd sang loudly.
"Wei Zheng, you will lead 100,000 people to be stationed outside the city."
"No!"
"Ran Ke!"
"The last general!"
"You have taken 5,000 soldiers as a temporary patrol battalion, put up notices to reassure the people, and at the same time bring the lawbreakers to justice. It's still the old rules, three chapters of the law! The murderer dies, wounds and steals. ”
"The last general commands!"
Jiankang is a very developed city, even far beyond the capital of Wei, and it is a well-deserved first city in China!
The Eastern Jin Dynasty set the capital of Jianye and changed its name to Jiankang, in order to gain a foothold in politics and show that it was the continuation of the orthodox dynasty of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty transformed Jiankang according to the Luoyang model of the Wei and Jin dynasties in the construction of the capital.
Move the palace city to the east, face the royal street of Wu Shi in the south, extend the royal street to the south, cross the Suzaku navigation pontoon bridge on the Qinhuai River, and reach the southern suburbs of the southern festival, forming the north-south axis of the whole city facing the main gate and the main hall of the palace city. The government office was built on the left and right sides of the royal street, and the south end was adjacent to the Qinhuai River and the Taishe Temple, Taishe.
After this reconstruction, the palace room in the north of Jiankang City is formed, there are the main streets of the north and south in front of the palace, the left and right official offices, and the pattern of building the house on the outside, and the city gate has also increased to twelve, and the old name of Luoyang is used, which is basically in line with the Luoyang model.
Jiankang's large southward migration, coupled with the local scholars, forced them to open up new settlements along the outer side of Qingxi in the eastern part of the city. Jiankang has the convenience of the Yangtze River and the water network navigation, the boat can reach the east and west of the city through the Qinhuai River, and some settlements appear along the river and the water network.
In order to defend Jiankang, a number of town fortifications were built around it; In order to settle the people who moved south, some overseas Chinese counties were built.
