The Qing army in Nanjing, led by the four left-wing banners of Anbang Zhangjingicakamu of Jiangnan, Jiangning, surrendered to the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Although the whistle cavalry in the east of the city reported that thousands of Eight Banners fled from the Shence Gate in the northeast, the Eight Banners Army, as the core force of the Qing Dynasty, took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender to Chen Wen.

It is said that the Eight Banners Army that fled were basically brought by Jirgalang. They had no relatives in Jiangning, so they were unwilling to surrender. However, the current military power of the Ming army and the disastrous defeat still had a huge impact on their morale, especially the noble kings like Jirgalang were unable to turn the tide, and the blow to them was really huge.

These Qing troops fled to the ferries downstream of Nanjing to flee back to the north of the Yangtze River. The trend of the Yangtze River was that the upper reaches of Nanjing came from south to north. The Eight Banners Army was afraid of being intercepted by the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so they chose the northeast direction that the Ming army could not be besieged. Otherwise, there might be like the German army trying to cross Siberia to escape to Japan, and the Eight Banners Army fled upstream to the northern part of Huguang controlled by the Qing army in Huguang.

In response, he had ordered the Ming Navy, who was cruising on the Yangtze River to sink all ships crossing from the south to the north of the Yangtze River, whether it was hidden in the Qing Dynasty's Eight Banners Army, Green Camps, officials, or potential opponents who fled to the Qing army occupied areas to avoid Chen Wen's edge.

Chen Wen was not in a hurry when the army entered the city. It took time to completely control such a huge city in Nanjing, and he had more important things, that is, to uphold justice for those anti-Qing officials who were killed by the Qing government in matters involving the sea cases. Whether it was a real anti-Qing righteous man like Guizhuang, or a person who was framed only with a grudge against the local officials of the Qing Dynasty.

Soon, the gentry in the city was led by the Ming army entering the city, under the guidance of the Nanjing Station of the Military Information Department, to the execution site where the Qing army left the city, and watched the ceremony with some of the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who followed the army, witnessing the scene where justice was fulfilled with their own eyes.

Jiergalang had a strong influence and appeal, and Chen Wen, who was surrounded by the Eight Banners Army, had no plans to issue. In fact, the number of Eight Banners Army captured in the war a few days ago was very small. As for the Green Camp soldiers, there were quite a few, but Chen Wen did not intend to waste a batch of strong labor of this scale. Nanjing was restored and Ma'anshan mines had entered the plan, and the mine caves there were their destination.

Nearly a thousand from Manchuria, the Eight Banners Army of Mongolian and Han Army were escorted up. The sacrificial text was written before the expedition. Gu Yanwu, who was responsible for drafting, finished the sacrificial text with tears. For him, this was not just a job, but also a commemoration of old friends, especially with him, who was known together with him. In the case of such a critical situation, he did not forget to let someone bring him a message, and never return to his hometown Guizhuang Guihengxuan.

At this moment, Gu Yanwu listened to Chen Wen reciting the sacrificial text loudly. After the sacrificial text was finished, nearly a thousand big swords fell down together with the words "kill". His head rolled all over the ground, and with blood splashed out, all the corpses kneeling on the ground fell towards the place where the dead righteous men died, as if they kowtowed to apologize.

"Hengxuan, have you seen it? The King of Master has restored Nanjing and revived Nanjing."

Gu Yanwu cried in silence. The gentry present, who followed the army, either shed tears or showed pleasure in his face. However, the gentry who were exposed from Nanjing were mostly pale.

After riding his horse into the city and passing the urn, Chen Wen went straight to the Governor's Office in Jiangnan, Jiangxi, where his headquarters would be located. As for the imperial palace in Nanjing, it had long been converted into Jiangning. Kangxi's article "Theory of the Passing Jinling" reads: "The formerly the towering Fengque is, but now it has ruined walls!"

However, in later generations, the Qing Dynasty did not admit that it was the one who destroyed the Ming Forbidden City in Nanjing, but claimed that it was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Chen Wen really couldn't understand it. With Hong Xiuquan's arrogance and luxury, if the Ming Dynasty Palace was still there at that time, how could he change the Liangjiang Governor's Office into the Heavenly King's Mansion? By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty did not even frame it. It was really worse than the other.

Of course, even if the palace is still there, Chen Wen cannot make it convenient for him to use it as the headquarters, and even visiting is easily criticized by the world. After all, the Qing Dynasty is still there, even if this great victory has broken the backbone of this barbarian tribe, he must not take it lightly as long as he has not completely destroyed it in one day.

Chen Wen stepped into the Governor's Office, and his original owner Ma Guozhu had already committed suicide. According to the report, a large number of officials in the city have escaped from the city in batches in the past two days, even the Green Camp soldiers. Ma Guozhu had basically lost control of the decision-making of the Supervisor's Battalion before this, and he could not control it. In addition, the Ming army fleet locked the river, it is no wonder Titicacum made such a bad move.

The demolition work of Jiangning Mancheng has been on the agenda. Liu Da and his working group have completed the demolition work of Hangzhou Mancheng in advance. Chen Wen plans to ask him to continue to go to Nanjing to supervise the demolition work of Jiangning Mancheng, so that the second master will not bother you.

Regarding the recovery work of the upstream and downstream of Nanjing, there are a total of six prefectures. Chen Wen plans to dispatch the Dalan and Siming Division to divide their troops to attack and take the lead. It is best to surrender when you look at the wind. As for the stubborn resisters, killing them will be that simple.

In the afternoon of that day, the two cavalry battalions and a cavalry battalion set out to pursue the Eight Banners defeated soldiers. For two days of renovation, Chen Guobao and Ma Xin also led the army to fight. However, before that, Taiping Prefecture and Zhenjiang Prefecture, which were close to Nanjing, had already recognized the situation. Chen Wen gave the green camps the condition to accept the adaptation, and the reinforcements involved in the Tonghai case and as reinforcements in the Battle of Nanjing must be punished. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to intercept and kill the Eight Banners defeated soldiers to prevent these guys from killing good and causing greater harm to the people around them.

Good news came one after another. First, the Eight Banners Army that fled was defeated by the Ming army chasing him again in Changzhou Prefecture. Next, the Ming cavalry, which was like a wolf, was even more victorious. While the Eight Banners defeated the army, they were hungry, and at the same time they had to confront the Ming army in the chaos of the establishment. On the Yangtze River, the Ming army fleet was ready for battle. Within a few days, the defeated army that fled from Nanjing was completely destroyed, and only hundreds of people were able to escape back to Jiangbei.

Next, Taiping Prefecture, Ningguo Prefecture and Chizhou Prefecture surrendered one after another, and Zhenjiang Prefecture and Changzhou Prefecture, downstream of Nanjing, the same was true for the officials from all over the country, and most of the green camps fled to Jiangbei, which invisibly weakened the local will to stick to their will. When Ma Xin's army arrived at the city of Suzhou, the Qing Dynasty's admiral Zhang Tianlu, who made great contributions in the previous battle in Nanjing, committed suicide by taking poison, and Zhang Zhongyuan, the governor of Jiangning who made meritorious contributions, and a large number of officials took themselves and surrendered.

All prefectures and counties south of the Yangtze River in Nanzhili were restored!

After Chizhou Prefecture surrendered, a few days later, Fan Wencheng sent a restrained army to retreat westward and broke into contact with the Ming army. The threat from Huguang was solved.

However, Sun Kewang did not send troops to harass him this time. Chen Wen didn't believe that Sun Kewang would suddenly find out with conscience and develop a sense of tolerance for the country, but he also had no way to know what was the reason. Could it be that because his offensive was too fast, Sun Kewang hadn't reacted yet?

While the south of the Yangtze River was restored, officials from some prefectures and counties north of the Yangtze River and the Green Camp generals also sent secret envoys to Nanjing to secretly communicate with Chen Wen. Some of the eager to show their loyalty even directly stated that as long as the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Kings crossed the Yangtze River, they would immediately cut their whips anyway!

The situation is now very good, and Chen Wen also has plans to send troops north. The Northern Expedition is still far from time to time. Once the Huai River is crossed, the harassment ability of the Qing cavalry will rise straight, and if the problem of food channels cannot be solved for a day, he will not be able to send troops one day. After all, for Chen Wen, there is not only one threatening enemy and potential opponent, but the Qing Dynasty must be the best. However, the Huainan water network can be used to attack first, as a base for advancement during the Northern Expedition.

Now the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are all in Chen Wen's hands from Jiangxi. It is easy for a large army to cross the Yangtze River. He is planning to wait until Chen Guobao and Ma Xin stabilize the local area and then transfer some troops back to Nanjing to take charge, and then lead the army northward. Anyway, the Qing Dynasty is not in a hurry to do this moment.

Chen Wen was in Nanjing, and a large number of gentry, survivors and anti-Qing people came to visit like crucian carp crossing the river. First, to celebrate Chen Wen's revival of Nanjing, and the two were famous kings; second, to take the opportunity of congratulations to show off his talents and prepare for official career; third, to be familiar with each other, to find out Chen Wen's tone and see what his tendency would be for future governance, after all, today is different from the past.

Compared with those people with all kinds of thoughts, Pingyuan's idea was very simple. He left the rebel army and a few familiars to come from the bank of Taihu Lake, just to see with his own eyes this legendary figure who rose step by step to become the most powerful powerful vassal of the Ming Dynasty today, starting from leading the 500 rebel army as the people's palace. That's all.

Nanjing, he has been here more than once, and every time he would express sincere praise for this everlasting city, the land of dragons and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang. However, when he came here, there were no singing and dancing on the Qinhuai River, but instead turned into pieces of grain fields and vegetable fields. However, some of them were not even harvested, and they could only rot in the fields.

The reason he heard the same year that the Qing army went south and Nanjing's status plummeted. In addition, the massacre of slaughter, the prosperity naturally drifted away. As for the lack of gains, it was because the Tonghai case broke out and Jiergalang recruited a large number of auxiliary soldiers for the army. There was no sight on the battlefield, not to mention that the auxiliary soldiers in the Qing army often couldn't even eat enough to eat, but had to bear high loads of physical labor, and the loss of the population was inevitable.

"After the news, the Prince of Kuaiji has vigorously restored people's livelihood in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The old grand occasion in Jiangnan should not be long before it can be restored to its original state."

Pingyuan was very confident in Chen Wen, but most of the familiar friends were nervous, so that they imagined this time. For a moment, there were very few echoes, and everyone's expressions were even more awkward.
