Chapter 2394 Gui Zi Scroll is destroyed and destroyed in one go.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The naval warships lined up in a horizontal formation fully demonstrated the power advantage of long-barreled cannons.
More than a dozen cannons performed brilliantly in the first round of firing. The Huaiyang Army, which surged out from the south gate, suffered a head-on blow before they even understood the situation.
Dozens of projectiles roared, jumped, and whizzed, heading straight for the city gate, immediately rolling up countless **** gourds rolling to the ground.
This kind of carefully selected pebbles are carefully polished and ejected from the muzzle with huge kinetic energy. Once they hit the ground, they are invincible. Whether it is an ordinary shield or a so-called shield vehicle, in the face of this epoch-making weapon Weapons can only turn into a pile of rotten wood, and it is meaningless to use the human body to block such projectiles.
While running, a projectile can easily penetrate and take away dozens of lives while still maintaining huge kinetic energy. If it were not blocked by the city wall, it could run for at least dozens of steps and sweep away dozens of lives. A life.
When more than ten projectiles are ejected at the same time, the huge damage caused is simply terrible.
The entire open space outside the south gate almost turned into a killing ground. The Huaiyang Army's dense formation became its biggest weakness. Every stone bullet opened a flesh-and-blood alley in the camp, and more than a dozen projectiles almost destroyed the front. This formation was torn to pieces, and even when the second round of projectiles was fired, the entire camp fell into a state of complete chaos.
The fleeing soldiers scrambled to retreat towards the south gate, and they were crowded together with Jiao Tinghua's army. The narrow south gate almost became a flesh and blood millstone, with cannonballs and firecrackers taking turns to harvest human lives here, and the trampled to death The number of people is probably not much less than the casualties caused by real artillery shells.
Feng Ziying and Shen Yourong actually no longer want to watch anymore. Such a war has lost its suspense. All the previous worries are no longer possible at this moment. In this situation, even the arrival of gods cannot change the outcome. With Mao Wenlong The entire army began to disembark around Chaoguan, and quickly followed up on both sides along the city wall. The south gate of the new city in the west was quickly controlled, and the entire army entered the city along the south gate of the new city. The situation was irreversible.
At this time, Feng Ziying has ordered to avoid further killings as much as possible. At this time, the Huaiyang Army has completely collapsed. No one can turn the tide. What needs to be done now is to control the situation in Yangzhou as soon as possible and then bring down Su Shunxin who came from Gaoyou. The department is also under control.
The moment she stepped into Yangzhou City, Feng Ziying had mixed feelings.
Si Yamen, the envoy for transporting salt from the Huaidu to the Huaihe River, is here, and I have also left very good memories here.
Lin Ruhai and Daiyu, plus Lin Ruhai's staff team, were almost all taken over by him, forming his most important staff team. It can be said that he can quickly create such a big climate, and Lin Ruhai has left a lot of advantages for his group of people. It has a lot to do with it, but now I have re-entered Yangzhou City in this way.
Wu Yaoqing finally played a huge role in Yangzhou's preparations at this time. The gentry took the initiative to meet, and they also had many familiar officers in the Huaiyang army.
For example, Jiao Tinghua had a close relationship with Yangzhou salt merchant He Tingfa. After some contact, Jiao Tinghua took the initiative to invest and expressed his attitude. This was the best thing. He only needed to rectify the other party himself and wait for the reorganization.
And Chen Jixian's whereabouts were unknown. Until dark, Feng Ziying was still a little worried that Chen Jixian would secretly incite his pro-army troops to take the opportunity to cause rebellion, but in fact this could no longer change the overall situation.
After Su Shunxin arrived, he accepted the reality after a moment's hesitation and entered the city alone to express his attitude. This also marked the final collapse of Chen Jixian's power and the loss of his most loyal subordinate. Chen Jixian was actually a toothless tiger. The storm is coming.
Feng Ziying immediately asked Jiao Tinghua and Su Shunxin to go to Baoying, Qingjiangpu and Suzhou to recruit and surrender the garrisons on these two fronts to avoid unnecessary casualties. The two agreed readily, leaving their deputies to settle the troops while he rushed to Baoying overnight. , Huai'an Qingjiangpu and Suzhou.
After arranging all this, Feng Ziying handed over the overall situation of Yangzhou City to Mao Wenlong. She and Shen Yourong immediately rushed to Nanjing City. By this time, Hou Chengzu and his naval vanguard had already been to Nanjing City for three hours.
************
He never expected that the ordinary-looking man in front of him would pose such a big problem to him.
The letter in his hand was almost boiling. Jia Yucun looked calm and motionless, seemingly thinking deeply, but the fear, horror, regret, nervousness and even hesitation inside were like a churning pot of oil, making it difficult for him to extricate himself.
Wang Wenyan was also observing the teacher in front of him who was said to be the third grandma. It was logical that he had such a relationship, and Jia Yucun was also a Jinshi, and this person is now sitting in the position of the prefect of Jinling. According to theory, his boss should be It's only right that I have a very close connection with this person, but in fact, it seems that I, too, have some indescribable feelings towards this person.
Only confidants like Wang Wenyan can vaguely detect this smell.
Wang Wenyan does not think this is because Jia Yucun is from Huzhou. Although regional distinctions are very important in the DPRK, certain relationships can still be transcended, such as common interests and specific connections.
The Jinling prefect of Jiayu Village was planned by Wang Ziteng for him back then. It should be said that Wang Ziteng was very kind to Jia Yucun, but now the imperial court suddenly started to make war on the so-called "Three Jiangnan Towns". Wang Ziteng was the first to bear the brunt, and now he is doing it himself Looking for this person also involves taking some risks.
But my boss seems to know this person's temperament very well, and even said clearly that this person has already submitted a letter of sincerity to the court, and has laid the groundwork in advance. Of course, this is a common method used by Jiangnan officials in this era. Pay attention to avoid going into a dead end, so it is hard to say how high this loyalty is. Especially when Prince Yi Zhong is about to ascend the throne, many Jiangnan officials still feel that following Prince Yi Zhong’s achievements in following the dragon will have a bright future. Woolen cloth.
But Feng Ziying asserted that this person could clearly see the future situation between North Korea and China, and it was worth taking the risk.
Feng Ziying also said that the person in front of him was sometimes very afraid of death, but in the face of interests, he might be willing to take risks at all costs, so he could only say that he needed to talk to this person to dispel his inner worries. .
Jia Yucun could even memorize the words in the letter. In fact, there was not much other content. It was that the imperial court intended to "cut down the vassalage" and abolished the three towns in Jiangnan. It did not allow military towns to appear in Jiangnan, so it decided to immediately cancel the originally planned Jiangnan. , Jiangbei, and Jinling Town, all military forces were reorganized on the spot. The reorganization matters were handled by Sun Chengzong and Feng Keng, the left and right ministers of the Ministry of War. They requested the seven departments in Nanjing to merge with the Procuratorate, Southern Zhili and even the provincial governments of Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Fujian. Cooperate fully and do not disobey.
The first half is in official form, and the second half is private speech.
It can be said that Feng Keng is already in Yangzhou and has solved the Huaiyang town of Chen Jixian. However, Prince Teng is still hesitating. Now he is about to rush from Yangzhou to Nanjing to take charge. He requires that as the prefect of Jinling, he will cooperate with Deng who arrived earlier. The Laishui Division did a good job in stabilizing the situation in Nanjing, mainly by controlling the Nanjing Guards and Jiang Waterproof Division, so that everyone in Jinling City must obey the arrangements.
This really posed a huge problem for myself.
Feng Ziying's request was very simple, that is, to come forward and immediately inform the Nanjing Seventh Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Nanjing Guards, Jiang Waterproof Division, and even Jiangning and Shangyuan counties, so that the government could maintain the current situation and wait for the imperial envoy, who was himself. After arriving to take over the overall situation, the core is to prevent the Nanjing Guards and Jiang Waterproof Division from getting involved in this storm.
The problem is that the Nanjing Guards and Jiang Waterproof Division have always been under the direct jurisdiction of the Nanjing Ministry of War. How could they listen to themselves? Although most of the money and food were usually transported from Jinling Prefecture and Suzhou and Changzhou prefectures and counties, and were transferred to the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs and then to the Nanjing Ministry of War, they were all separated by several layers. Even though these senior guards and navy officials were familiar with them, they Can you listen to yourself?
"Mr. Wang, it's not that Yucun is unwilling to take on such an important task, but since you have been in Jinling for a while, I am afraid you also know that the Nanjing Guards and Jiang Waterproof Division are not under the jurisdiction of Jinling Prefecture, and their command is from Nanjing. The Ministry of War is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, so I'm afraid it won't have much effect if I go there, and it might even be counterproductive."
Although wealth can be found in danger, it must be lived to enjoy it. Jia Yucun is not sure if he goes to the Guards this time, will they turn against him and kill him on the spot? Although the Nanjing Guards have average combat effectiveness, they have always regarded themselves as direct descendants of Nanjing. They do not buy the favor of anyone else except the Nanjing Military Department.
"He who knows the current situation is a hero. I believe that no matter who they are, they will make wise choices after understanding the current situation. We are not asking them to kill officials and rebel, nor are we asking them to go to war. We only ask them to stay calm and wait. Important officials from the imperial court have arrived to deal with the matter of reducing the vassal state, and the Nanjing Guards have nothing to do with the three Jiangnan towns, so will they fight for the injustice of the three Jiangnan towns?"
Wang Wenyan smiled and said softly, "And as far as I know, brother Yucun and the commander of the Guards, Mr. Xu, have always been close and intend to marry. In this kind of relationship, why doesn't brother Yucun clarify the interests and risks, so that he will not go in the wrong direction? "
Jia Yucun was shocked. Not many people knew about Xu Chenggong's intention to marry his niece for his second son. Unexpectedly, this guy found out about it. It seemed that the imperial court's infiltration of Nanjing was airtight.
“But over there with the waterproofing division,...” Jia Yucun said thoughtfully.
"It doesn't matter. Brother Yucun doesn't have to worry about Jiang Waterproof Division. Jia Jing and Jia Zijing will be responsible for solving the problem there." Wang Wenyan knew that if he didn't show some tricks, he might still be trying to push the blame. He understood that he was not the only one available in this capital city.
