Chapter 268 Nanjing
Nanzhili.
Nanjing.
After the Yongle Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, Nanjing has existed as a supporting capital, serving as the center of Jiangnan. While it is hustle and bustle, it is also far away from the struggles and military chaos in the political center.
Peace, peace, noisy, prosperity...
It is no exaggeration to say that in addition to the two positions of political and military centers, Nanjing is more than better than the capital on the frontier in any aspect.
Of course, it is precisely because it is far away from the center of power that Jinling City has become a gathering place for losers in the power struggle.
Nanjing, this court of accompaniment, is almost filled with losers in the struggle for power that came from the capital. Of course, there are many people who are ambitious to return to the center.
Among them, Donglin is undoubtedly the best.
From the center of the court, he was expelled from the court step by step, dismissed from office or demoted to Nanjing. In addition, Donglin's influence in Jiangnan, now in Jiangnan and Nanjing have almost completely become Donglin's private land.
However, since Li Xiu started to make arrangements in various garrisons in Jiangnan, the private land of Donglin in Jiangnan has never stopped.
Although the nature of the garrison is special, it has been inherited from generation to generation and has been intertwined with more than two hundred years of interests. How can the garrison really be independent?
As early as half a year ago, an almost unprecedented promotion and transfer disrupted the interweaving of countless interests and completely broke the peace in Jiangnan for many years.
There were storms in this Jiangnan land.
Now, the news coming from the capital is undoubtedly like adding fuel to the fire, and the storm is sweeping over.
And all of this, as the patrol team, the 8,000 imperial guards, and the 20,000 Beijing troops arrived in Nanjing one after another, the storm had already accumulated momentum!
The storm is coming, and dark clouds are pressing on the top!
The once noisy and bustling city of Nanjing has been covered with a thick shadow!
A sword of supreme court, a conclusion of the court discussion, gives blessings to the great principles of the law.
The huge patrol team and the arrival of tens of thousands of troops undoubtedly demonstrate the will and determination, and even the deterrence of the vast army!
Outside Nanjing City.
Whether they want or not, all officials lined up and music and drums were sounding to welcome this huge patrol team and the magnificent army!
"I heard that the Japanese pirates were in rebellion, so I specially sent a large army in the Beijing camp to garrison Jinling and take over the Nanjing garrison. Now, a special military exercise will be arranged to show our army's power and boost the people's hearts..."
Surrounded by the vast army, the British Duke walked to the welcome team and slowly spoke as if he was following the script.
After this statement, all the officials in Jinling were stunned. Then, most of them couldn't help but curse in their hearts!
Japanese pirates rebelled?
These days, there are still a few Japanese pirates on the seashore!
Who doesn’t know that the Japanese pirates have declined and there is no need to worry about it!
Even if there are only a small group of Japanese pirates, they need to travel thousands of miles from the capital to transfer heavy troops?
The people in the north are in chaos and the situation in Liaodong is severe. Which of these harms is not much more serious than that of the Japanese pirates who are about to disappear!
However, no matter how many officials in Nanjing cursed in their hearts, they had to honestly follow the British Duke to the Nanjing Tower and prepare to face this military power specially prepared for them! Or, it is okay to take the initiative.
"Dong!"
The drums roared!
Step by step!
Almost uniform steps were shaking the sky and the earth, with cold wars, bloody armor, and towering military formations evolved with the formation!
"The Ming Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"
Drink high!
The mighty military power, like a mountain and a prison, swept overwhelmingly towards the city tower with officials needed to sweep across the sky.
A true army of battles!
From defeating Huang Taiji, annihilated Nurhaci, swept across the northern and southern deserts, and the troops arrived at Liaodong...
Countless people have already used their lives to witness the sharpness of this army. Similarly, the lives of those countless people have also forged the great military power of this army.
At this moment, let alone these long-comfortable officials in Jinling, even the British Duke looked a little unnatural.
Although he was a Duke of the State and had commanded a large army, he had never had such military power in the former Jing camp.
With the changes in the war drums and flags, the infantry and cavalry tactics evolved. The army was clearly empty in front of it, but it seemed that there were thousands of troops, which was hard to stop.
The naked deterrence, or threat, was placed in front of all Nanjing officials.
If it were in the past, the military might be more powerful than it would have caused too many fluctuations among these officials and gentry. They were just a group of Qiu Bas who were under their control.
Now, it is obvious that this group of Qiu Ba who was controlled by them had long been out of their control, and this knife was already on their necks.
Times are changing.
The wind blew to Jiangnan.
These officials and gentry who have lived in Nanjing for a long time seem to have personally felt the significance of the changes in this era.
When the British Duke and Rushan Hou both decisively refused the invitation of all officials and immediately led a large army to Nanjing, this shadow that had already shrouded Nanjing was like Mount Tai, which made everyone breathless.
Everyone knows that the Japanese pirates are just a cover, so what is the purpose of this army stationed in Nanjing? Who will the army's sword point?
The bloody storm that has been caused in the capital has clearly shown the results.
If we talk about Nanjing before, there was a sudden outbreak of turmoil and noisy.
After the army entered Jinling and took over Nanjing's defense without hesitation, the entire Jinling City was already depressed.
Among the people, the gentry in Jiangnan has grasped public opinion and persevered in slandering. The three words "Duke of Qin" have long become synonymous with traitors to harm the country.
Now, there is no doubt that the army has entered Nanjing, and the people are also in panic.
In the Nanjing dynasty and the country, this fear was even more surging.
In the capital of the northern part, what the Duke of Qin did was naturally not a secret to the Jinling court and the people.
How cruel he acts, he often searches his house and destroys his clan!
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty have done more than the Qin Duke did to confiscate and exterminate their families!
I am used to being free and easy. Who would have wanted to be suddenly put on a knife on my neck? My life and life are all in my mind!
What's more, this is not just about dominating their lives, dividing their rights, or cutting off their flesh!
The undercurrents are surging. In this prosperous Jiangnan, countless eyes hidden in the dark have gathered in this city of Nanjing and on this huge patrol team.
People are lucky and are still waiting, or they still have the last trace of luck and expectation. This is just a loud thunder and a small raindrop, which makes them falsely shocked...
"This first knife is not easy to fall!"
On the Nanjing Tower, the British Duke looked around the Jinling City and sighed: "Now, I'm afraid I don't know how many people are staring at us. If you are not careful, Jiangnan will probably be in chaos!"
Yan Shun looked at the worried expression of the British Duke, pondered for a while, and bowed:
"The Qin Gong means to make drastic moves, no destruction or establishment, and no need to worry about consequences."
"The entire capital depends on the supply of Jiangnan. Jiangnan cannot be in chaos!"
The British Duke sighed, but was a little helpless.
Hearing this, Yan Shun frowned: "Mr. Qin has made such arrangements, I think he must have considered it..."
As for this, Yan Shun didn't say much. Although the British Duke was the leader, he could not do this leader.
"Hey, I'm too worried. Just do what Mr. Qin will do!"
The British Duke shook his head and said these words, he was already thinking of his old love. He was powerless to do anything else, so let them take care of themselves!
