Chapter 78

As we all know, in history, the Qing emperor side or rebellion, after attacking the city, would rush into the imperial city immediately, capture the emperor, and then build momentum for themselves or something.

But Fang Xiaobai was different. After taking control of Nanjing City, he actually led his personal guards and 500 half-griffin knights straight to Ruan Dacheng's mansion, which had been planned long ago, opened the gate with cannons, and swarmed in.

The imperial halberd soldiers were responsible for driving the servants and relatives of the Ruan Mansion out of the house, confiscating property and antiques, and the half-griffin knights were in charge of guarding them to prevent them from rebelling.

Fang Xiaobai waved a folding fan from an unknown dynasty, with a picture of a lady drawn on the fan, it could be seen that the owner of the folding fan was also a romantic person.

"They are all good things. If they are left in later generations, this broken fan can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now in my hands, the only function is decoration. Who would fan the wind in cold weather?"

As the cold wind blew, Fang Xiaobai couldn't help tightening his neckline: "Well, Jiangnan is good, but it's too cold this winter, and the cold air from the north wind feels like it's lingering in your bones, lingering and uncomfortable."

After receiving the fire basket from Yosparis, Fang Xiaobai crossed his hands, stuffed them into his sleeves like the Northeastern men, and wandered around the Ruan Mansion with the fire basket.

I have to praise Ruan Dacheng for his arrogance and arrogance. The mansion is not bad. There are seven entrances and seven exits to the small courtyard. If there is a rockery, there is a rockery, and if there is a pond, there is a pond. In Nanjing, where every inch of land is precious, it is worthwhile to have such a configuration. A lot of money.

"Brothers, take a good look. This family's life is so good. They definitely collect a lot of money. Search for me! Keep one-third of the property you find!"

coax!From the guards down to the ordinary soldiers, they rummaged through boxes and cabinets even harder. Boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were carried out, and even the accessories of the female relatives were not spared.

Yosparis was indifferent. In her opinion, mortal things are not as important as faith.

Finding a gazebo, the two of them sat on both sides. Looking at the soldiers coming and going, Fang Xiaobai said, "Yosparis, is the order in the city within the controllable range?"

"My lord, according to the plan, our army will control all the streets and maintain order in the city after entering the city. We just sent dozens of teams of hundreds of people to rush into the homes of the main members of the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party to control people and seize property. The situation is within the controllable range. "

Yosparis answered truthfully, she didn't understand why Fang Xiaobai's army only copied a few, and there were at least a few hundred officials in Nanjing City, wouldn't it be better to copy them all?

As if seeing her doubts, Fang Xiaobai explained to himself: "I know what you are thinking, the reason for doing this is because Jiangnan's money is mainly in the hands of these people, and copying their homes is equivalent to taking away Nanming The royal court’s taxes for several years, other petty money is not worth mentioning.”

"But why do you want the money?"

Yosperi couldn't see the point of Fang Xiaobai grabbing so much money at all.As far as the army is concerned, military rations are produced and sold on their own, and no military pay is required.In terms of people's livelihood, the common people are satisfied with having land.What else can silver be used for?
Fang Xiaobai said with a smile: "I told you to study more, the clever Asul also had a short-circuited day, forgot about the situation in the north?"

"You mean!"

"That's right, the robbed money is taken from the people and used for the people. The north is desolate, while the south is densely populated, but the fields are concentrated in the hands of the landlords. I need to transfer people from the south to fill the vacancies. In this aspect alone, it costs a lot of money." Silver is old."

He raised his legs and glanced at the passing soldiers. Suddenly he stopped an imperial soldier: "This painting is an antique, do you understand the antique? Don't clamp it roughly, you have to handle it with care, understand?"

The imperial soldier nodded, changed his original manner, held the scroll in his arms, and left cautiously.

"Sir, why do you attach so much importance to the north?" After this small episode, Fang Xiaobai successfully aroused Yosparis's interest.

He smiled mysteriously and was a little proud: "You don't understand this. Zhihu said that the layout of the early Nanming was based on the strategy of "guarding the river and the Huai River". If you want Jiangnan to be worry-free, or to make room for the south, The Huaihe River! It is the best choice, defend the Huaihe River, advance and attack, retreat and defend, the initiative is in our hands, of course, it is not as good as the Yellow River."

Seemingly understanding, but not understanding, Yosparis found that she really had to listen to Fang Xiaobai's words and learn more about the world, otherwise it would have a great impact on leading the army to fight in the future.

Fang Xiaobai's side was busy raiding the house, and he was at ease, but the palace was just the opposite. When Emperor Hongguang heard that Fang Xiaobai had entered Nanjing City, he fainted on the spot.

Ruan Dacheng was also scared to death. Yesterday he said he would fight to the death in Nanjing, but within a day he was slapped in the face. The feeling was definitely worse than eating Xiang.

"Damn it! Fang Xiaobai! You don't even give me time to escape! What should I do?"

"Master Ruan is in serious trouble! The one surnamed Fang has arrested the young master and wife, and ransacked your house!"

"What! You are too deceitful!"

I can’t go back home, and the savings I’ve accumulated for many years seem to disappear. It’s really hard work for decades, and I’m back before liberation.

Ruan Dacheng felt a tightness in his chest, a fishy sweetness welled up in his throat, and dark brown blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

A crazy idea took root in his mind and grew rapidly: Ruan Dacheng's face gradually became grim when he thought of the Donglin Party members imprisoned in the prison.

"Okay, Donglin Party, you are going to put me to death! Don't think I don't know that you have secret contact with Fang Xiaobai, and who invited him here! Since you want to kill me, you can bury me with me! Come here! Bring Donglin Rebellious Party to me!"

It's a pity that no one will take him seriously. Except for the eunuchs and maids, all the guards in the palace can run away. Even the sky prison is empty at this time. If there are no Donglin Party members clamoring in the cell, they would have thought The dungeon is a decoration.

"Zhu Dadian, are you sure the emperor is still inside?"

Imperial captain Joseph asked Zhu Dadian uncertainly. It stands to reason that the Ming emperor had plenty of time to escape before the army entered the city, and he might have already disappeared by this time.

"General Joseph, I guarantee my reputation that His Majesty has never left the imperial city, and Ruan Dacheng, the leader of the eunuch party, is also in the imperial city!"

"Okay, soldiers, prepare to attack the city, pull up that cannon, let them see how powerful we are!"

The imperial gunners untied the ropes attached to the mule horses, and turned the muzzles towards the vermilion palace gates.

"fire!"

The three cannons roared and shot out shells, hitting the palace gate which was not very strong, forming several medium-sized holes.

Joseph looked very excited. He captured the emperor of a country and placed him in the Warhammer World. He didn't even dare to think about it: "Keep firing! Capture the Ming Emperor alive!"

"fire!!!"

It was another round of volley, and the city wall trembled as the shells hit the city gate. Finally, after the seventh round of volley, the palace gate collapsed. Under the leadership of Da Dian, they rushed straight to Emperor Hongguang's bedroom.

 In the past few days, I have a cold and a low-grade fever. Fortunately, my brain is not completely confused, and fortunately I can hold on to the code words.Once again, special thanks to the tearful song master!Brother Qian Qiuyue!Brother Arms!Sister Yang Li!Brother Blood Dragon!And those book friends with a bit long id!God of Star Dreams!blah blah blah, blah, blah!
