Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 668 Entering the City and Restoring
"Pass down the order and speed up the march!"

Wang Jing was pleased with the smooth advance of his soldiers and horses, and was more curious about the giant city of Jinling. The spies reported that when Zhu Yuanzhang left Jinling, he did not burn the capital like Dong Zhuo in history.

The city and the extremely vast palace built in the city were not destroyed.

There are even many maids and eunuchs in the palace.

As long as Xia Jun can successfully take over the city and resolve the chaos and various situations in the city, he will soon be able to obtain a qualified capital city for the dynasty.

After Wang Jing personally ordered, the marching speed of the army accelerated again.

However, it was Wang Jinghe's personal guards who were mainly speeding up, while the main pawns were slightly behind.

At this time, Jinling, under the strong support of some civil servants, generals, wealthy businessmen and gentry in the city, managed to maintain a calm state.

But under this calm, there are still a large number of messy people fishing in troubled waters.

Including the many officials and gentry who maintained Jinling, in the short period of maintenance, they kept secretly benefiting themselves.

Everyone knew that after Jinling fell into the hands of the Great Xia Dynasty, this place would inevitably be regarded as the capital of Great Xia.

But all capitals gather the core elites of the entire dynasty, attracting a large number of scholars and merchants who yearn for the center of the dynasty.

It won't be long before Jinling will be overcrowded.

A large number of people will cause a consequence, that is, the houses and land in Jinling City will appreciate rapidly and become very expensive.

Therefore, some people took advantage of the current chaos to assign many official residences that Zhu Yuanzhang left to their own names.

This kind of behavior is much stronger than those brainless people who only know how to change the yellow book and take the opportunity to occupy the farmland outside the city.

Inside Jinling City.

The people on the street became scarce, and those families with clever eyes and ears knew that Xia Jun's military discipline was very good, but the people at the bottom seemed a little ignorant before they were not educated and wise.

Most of them will believe whatever the government advertises.

For example, the reputation of Great Xia would not be very good under the Ming Dynasty, especially around Jinling, but any qualified king would not tolerate the good reputation of other forces spreading around his capital and shake his own foundation.

Before contact, ordinary people had misunderstood and panicked.All of a sudden, every family closed their doors and did not dare to go out at all, for fear of causing trouble to themselves and their families.

On the main road in the city, some soldiers stood to maintain the general order in the city.

However, apart from these main roads, those civilian areas and slums, from time to time there are flames and occasional screams.

for these.

The aristocratic families and civil and military officials did not pay attention, they hosted a banquet at home, exchanged information with some concerns, and comforted each other, hoping that Lord Xia would be as benevolent as rumored.

Soon, a piece of news from outside the city quickly reached their ears.

The main force of the Xia army is approaching Jinling.

Wang Jing, the lord of the Great Xia Dynasty, has arrived at the outskirts of the city.

"Lord Xia is here, hurry out of the city to meet him!"

"Get ready for the drums, and prepare to welcome His Majesty into the city!"

All the big families and the civil and military officials who were abandoned by Zhu Yuanzhang were a little panicked,
He hurriedly came to the city gate, ready to bow down to the new rule of Jinling.

The civil and military officials in the city were not incapable or loyal to Daming, but Zhu Yuanzhang left in a hurry and couldn't take everyone away.

The rest of the officials are all people with insufficient ability or some flaws in character and attitude.Of these officials, the highest official is a patrolling censor.None of the elites of the Great Ming Center remained.

Of course, with Daxia's current size, he doesn't like these abandoned officials.

Just to maintain people's hearts, they still need to be allowed to sit in their original official positions for a period of time, and they will be replaced quickly after the handover of many things in Jinling is clear.

Oh oh oh!
There was a dull sound of horns in the distance, and the strong wind was blowing southward from the direction of the big river in the north, but the ground outside the city had been paved with loess and sprinkled with clean water, and the strong wind could not move the water-soaked ground. .

"arrive!"

At the forefront are the Xuncheng Yushi with the highest official position, and the heads of several famous families in Jinling.

Their atmosphere was a little frozen and tense.

I don't know who called out softly, and everyone looked into the distance.

In the distance, under the sunlight, the army appeared black and dense, just like a torrent that swallowed everything slowly. In the army, there were densely packed flags representing generals.

Yuwen Chengdu, who had already set up camp outside the city, sent some cavalry to guide the front, and a large number of soldiers scattered towards the four directions as guards. Some elite soldiers rushed directly to the city gate and quickly took over the city.

The main force of the Xia army, 3000 people form a battalion, which together form an array with good combat effectiveness and both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Such an array can't be seen at a glance.

Once there are more than 30 people, it is boundless. When the army of [-] to [-] gathers, it is like a vast ocean. A random wave contains the power to destroy everything.

At this time.

There was a sound of horseshoes rushing out of the army, roaring like thunder, and behind the leading cavalry, the canopy representing the emperor, the advocacy, and the guard of honor acting as a guard of honor holding horizontal knives, slowly approached protecting the imperial guard.

"Your Majesty has arrived, and all the soldiers still bow down?"

Yuwen Chengdu rode a dragon colt and held a gold-plated phoenix wing in his hand. His voice was like thunder, and it spread throughout a radius of more than ten miles.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Following the appearance of Wang Jing, the mighty army that came outside Jinling City bowed down one after another, shouting long live.

The civil and military soldiers of the Ming army who were about to meet in front of the city gate, as well as the local snakes in Jinling, felt the voice of the power of heaven and earth, and their bodies involuntarily knelt down on the ground.

Like those soldiers who bowed down, they knelt down and saluted.

"Jinling! Finally got it!"

Wang Jing felt the continuous vibration in the void, as if the power of the boundless tide, with a smile on his face.

Before officially entering the city, Wang Jing felt the change in his temperament.

That kind of blessing from the void, as well as the favor of the true dragon of his aura, can allow him to exert unimaginable power in Jinling!
Even, it can break the limit of the world and step into the realm of heaven!
Of course, this can only be done after securing Jinling and transferring the capital of Great Xia.

Wang Jingduan sits in front of him.

None of the other civil and military officers dared to ride with Wang Jing at this time to enjoy the civil and military and generals' kneeling. Wherever Wang Jing looked, all the soldiers were excited.

"Enter the city!"

Yu Wencheng shouted loudly.

As he said that, he, the commander of the personal guard, rode his horse to the city gate first to open the way for Wang Jing. As for the people who greeted him at the city gate, neither Wang Jing nor Yuwen Chengdu paid any attention to them.

There is no other reason.

Their status is too low to be qualified at all.

If there were still generals guarding Jinling, or if the city was captured by the Xia army because they were in charge, Wang Jing could pay them a little more attention.

But the reality is that Zhu Yuanzhang voluntarily gave up Jinling. Even without them, Xia Jun could easily take over.

The so-called merit of dedicating the city is only what they admit.

The Great Xia Dynasty would not recognize it. At most, it would credit a credit for maintaining order in Jinling, and nothing else!
"Your Majesty knows your merits, and I will reward you for your merits. You don't have to worry about it!"

When these people's expressions changed drastically because of Wang Jing's ignorance, and they were terrified.

A civil servant with a straight back and a solemn expression came over and said lightly.

"Thank you sir!"

Although these people felt a little reconciled when they heard this, they were not fools, and they could naturally feel from the attitudes of Wang Jing and Daxia Wenwu that they were not taken seriously.

But they dare not show the slightest dissatisfaction in front of the army.

Seeing that Yu Huan had already entered the city.

With a smile on his face, the highest official Xuncheng Yushi stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask your lord's name? What do we need to do next?"

The civil official glanced at him and said, "It's easy to say, Zhang Juzheng, the head of my secretarial supervisor, after entering the city, you follow me and hand over Jinling's treasury, documents, and account books, and cooperate with the inventory..."

Zhang Juzheng! ,

Everyone's expression changed again, and they all set their eyes on Zhang Juzheng.

……

The imperial palace in Jinling is three times the area of ​​the imperial palace in Yangzhou. Palaces and gardens rise and fall one after another, occupying less than half of the city.

Wang Jing did not directly enter the palace.

Instead, send personal guards into the palace first, take over and screen all the maids and eunuchs, and release those who can be released from the palace as much as possible, and replace them with Daxia's manpower.

There are also various palaces in the palace, and everything in the palace is registered in advance.

After the palace is completely cleaned up, Wang Jing will officially take over.

As Jinling changed hands, the Jiangpu Cave to the north of Jinling opened, and a large number of warships sailed from Yangzhou.After the army entered the city for military control, the first to be unsealed was the wharf of Jinling.

The first to come was a large number of civil servants gathered in Yangzhou.

These civil servants are Wang Jing's reliance on replacing the Ming system and taking over Jinling and surrounding areas.

Also, the field records and documents originally left by Da Ming were only used by Da Xia as a reference. Those fields that were embezzled, as well as the land and courtyards that were secretly taken over...

After the inventory is completed, it will naturally be exposed.

"There are so many things to think about, it makes people feel uncomfortable. Jinling seems to be just a city, but it is not so easy to completely take over and integrate with Daxia!"

In one of the palaces that Wang Jing took over, Wang Jing couldn't help sighing secretly when he saw the constant stream of officials coming and going in and out of the houses of the temporary military management agency.

In fact, with the power of Wang Jing and Da Xia, they can directly and vigorously clean up the remnants of the original Ming Dynasty regardless of the intricacies of this city.

However, if the method is too rough, it is not conducive to taking over Daming's cities in other places.

On the contrary, if Wang Jing could calm Jinling without particularly violent means, such as Dashengguan, Jiangning and other places, he would choose to surrender in Kaesong.There will be no fearless resistance.

To do this.

First of all, the large number of officials who came from Yangzhou were busy.

"Your Majesty, Hu Zongxian, the magistrate of Jingzhao, reported that the granaries of the original Ming army had only a small amount of grain, which was not enough to support the million mouths of Jinling... In addition to the city, there are still a large number of people who are short of food outside the city!"

Zhang Juzheng frowned, and reported with a memorial.

Wang Jing asked: "Zhu Yuanzhang left Jinling in a rather hasty way. He shouldn't be able to take all the food in the Daming granary with him? He didn't set fire to the food. Isn't the remaining food enough for the entire city of Jinling?"

Zhang Juzheng said in a deep voice: "In the granary, there is really only a small amount of grain at the moment... I think that the grain in the granary and many weapons and armor in the arsenal, except for what Zhu Yuanzhang took away, the rest of the grain and supplies are all taken away. Those civil and military and wealthy merchants in the city embezzled..."

The corner of Wang Jing's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "It should be like this!"

"Order first, let Yangzhou send 30 shi of grain to sustain the needs of the people in Jinling and surrounding towns... As for those who embezzle the granary and treasury, don't move!"

"Wait until the fields, books, and soldiers are all counted, and then clean up these people!"

These people are all meritorious ministers now.

If they were killed as soon as they entered the city, Wang Jing's reputation would be affected, and the city that was being continuously taken over by Xia Jun would also be unstable.

So Wang Jing chose to be patient for the time being.

Anyway, everyone is in the city, and the embezzled supplies can't escape, so they should be temporarily stored in their homes.As long as Jinling and the surrounding towns calm down.It doesn't matter if you come to clean up these people again.

No one will pay special attention to some low-status officials and gentry.

"I understand!"

Zhang Juzheng knew it in his heart, he should do it immediately.

In addition to the food problem, there are still cases of looting and murder in the city right now... These social vitality groups fishing in troubled waters, as well as the gangs in the slums, the green skins of the common people.

Afterwards, they will all be hit by Daxia's iron fist.

Daxia expanded all the way, conquered cities, took over cities, appeased the people, and had enough experience in pacifying places.

It only takes about ten days.

The whole Jinling will change.

Under the rectification of Wang Jing, Zhang Juzheng, and many officials transferred from Yangzhou, Jinling quickly regained its vitality, and large ships at the wharf came in and out, transporting a large amount of materials from Jiangbei.

These materials, like flowing blood, allowed Jinling, who had lost too much blood and was in shock, to recover quickly.

at the same time.

The Dasheng Pass in the upper reaches of Jinling, as well as the surrounding small towns and villages, as the Xia army continued to arrive, they all looked forward to the wind.Even Zhu Yuanzhang ran away, so naturally they would not seek their own death for loyalty.

It has only been more than six years since the beginning of Shenzhou World.

Such a short period of time is not enough to completely condense people's loyalty, and it is also impossible for a large number of officials to commit suicide and martyrdom after the fall of the capital of a dynasty.

With the continuous recovery of Jinling.

After entering the city, the latest news of Zhu Yuanzhang came from the spies of the military intelligence department and the scouts of the army who spread rapidly outward.

After Zhu Yuanzhang withdrew, a large number of young and strong soldiers were stationed at Moling Pass.

Further south is Lishui City.

This is a relatively prosperous city in the north of Gaochun.

Moling Pass, in addition to a large number of soldiers, also has a large amount of supplies transported from Jinling.

Obviously, the Ming army used Moling Pass as a temporary line of defense, stationed here to guard against the Xia army's pursuit.
