The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 551 The Forbidden City

He led people slowly into the palace city!

However, what Zhu Hongyu didn't expect was that this palace city was not only dilapidated on the outside, but also dilapidated on the inside.

There are ruins everywhere, and there are traces of arson in many places.

Fortunately, the architectural theme is still relatively complete!
After the Manchu Qing captured Nanjing, they stationed a group of Eight Banners soldiers in Nanjing.

These Eight Banners soldiers are stationed in the inner city of Nanjing next to the Forbidden City in Nanjing.

After Zhu Hongyu finished the decisive battle in the south of the Yangtze River, the battle report was spread to Nanjing. The Eight Banners soldiers and their families stationed in Nanjing City, after receiving the corresponding news, they evacuated Nanjing City urgently.

In the process, the Eight Banners soldiers set a fire in the Forbidden City!
Fortunately, the Forbidden City has not been maintained for a long time, and the snow that fell some time ago is still there.

The fire did not expand to the point where the entire Forbidden City was reduced to ashes!

But even so, the Forbidden City in Nanjing today is too dilapidated to see.

If Zhu Hongyu wanted to live in it, he had to repair it.

Qian Qianyi stood up and said.

"Your Highness, the old minister asks you to take charge of the repair work of the Forbidden City!"

"Until the renovation of the Forbidden City is completed, Your Highness is invited to come and stay at the mansion of the veteran!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly when he heard the words.

"Okay, then I'm going to bother Qian Qing's family for a while!"

Zhu Hongyu did not refuse.

Because he has no reason to refuse!

Originally, after learning that the Forbidden City was dilapidated, Zhu Hongyu planned to use the former Wei Guogong's mansion and now the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion in the Manchu Qing Dynasty as his temporary residence.

After all, Duke Wei's Mansion has been in operation for more than 200 years with eleven generations before and after Wei Guogong's family. Although the scale of Wei Guogong's Mansion is not comparable to that of the imperial palace.

But the level of prosperity and refinement is even higher than that of the imperial palace!
However, unfortunately, when the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing court withdrew, they also did not let go of the Duke of Wei's mansion.

Since Wei Guogong's mansion was used by the Qing Dynasty as the governor's mansion of Liangjiang, the snow in the mansion was cleaned up.

The fire of the Eight Banners Soldiers directly turned Wei Guogong's mansion into a piece of white ground!
In other words, the current Zhu Hongyu either lives in a military camp, or he can only find a private house to borrow.

After choosing and choosing, Qian Qianyi's mansion is the best choice.

As if thinking of something, Zhu Hongyu spoke again.

"By the way, the renovation work of the Forbidden City should try not to make large-scale construction work!"

"My Ming Dynasty should still focus on the war with the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the restoration of people's livelihood under the rule, and should not spend a lot of manpower and material resources just to repair a palace."

"For the renovation of the Forbidden City, it is enough to tidy up a few halls and bedrooms first."

"Let's put it in other places first, and then slowly repair it!"

When Qian Qianyi heard the words, he leaned forward and said.

"Here, the old minister obeys the order!"

He knew that Zhu Hongyu's life style had always been simple, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

The palace has been obtained, but there is no intention of doing major repairs!
Qian Qianyi knew that he couldn't do this, but Zhu Hongyu could. The more he did, the more he felt that Zhu Hongyu was worthy of admiration.

You know, Zhu Hongyu is the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty!

With his status and status, in terms of material enjoyment, it can be said that there is nothing he cannot get.

However, his life is still simple!
Really admirable!
Qian Qianyi can only say that there is absolutely no reason for a person to be successful.

……

Meanwhile, Tianjin, Dagukou!
After the Qing court gathered the main forces to attack Dagukou in Tianjin, the withdrawal of the Ming army has become an established fact.

Because Dagukou is really unstoppable!
Relying on the naval guns behind them, they fought hard for more than 20 days. After a month of onslaught, the Ming army finally withdrew from Dagukou.

The huge fleet sets sail!

The gun port on the side was opened, and several rounds of continuous fire were fired in the direction of the land.

The smoke filled the room, as if demonstrating to the Qing army on the shore!
Fei Yanggu stood on the pier at Dagukou, looking at the direction where the Ming army was evacuating, with a gloomy and frightening expression.

After all, his son's vengeance was still not avenged!
The Ming army retreated from Dagukou Shi Shiran, and the Qing army was powerless to pursue it.

During this period, the Dengzhou navy of the Qing court wanted to participate in the battle and repel the Ming navy.

However, what greeted them was the greeting of countless large-caliber naval guns!

Amidst the rumbling shelling, the Dengzhou navy of the Qing court was almost collapsed at the touch of a button.

Fei Yanggu looked very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Although the Ming army withdrew from Dagukou, it did not leave Bohai Bay, and the navy fleet was still swimming in Bohai Bay.

The Qing army led by Fei Yanggu was also dragged in Tianjin, unable to evacuate.

Who knows if they withdrew, the Ming army would come back again!

Zeng Xueli stood on the deck of the ship, looking at the Dagu Port not far away.

And at the Dagu Port, there are almost countless Qing army camps, so I couldn't help but speak.

"It seems that we have no chance to land in Tianjin again!"

"Next time I want to enter Tianjin City again, but I don't know when it will be!"

Wu Ming beside him spoke.

"We have been able to drag tens of thousands of Qing troops in Tianjin, and our goal has been achieved. If we want to come to the south of the Yangtze River for a decisive battle, the pressure on me, Ming, will be less."

"As long as the decisive battle in the south of the Yangtze River can be won, with His Royal Highness Jian Guo's great talent and strategy, sooner or later, my Ming Dynasty will be able to repeat the great cause of Emperor Taizu's exorcism of the Tartars and restoration of China."

"Don't talk about Tianjin by then, the capital will also be recovered!"

Zeng Xueli thought for a while, then spoke.

"Presumably, the decisive battle in the south of the Yangtze River should be in full swing now."

"I hope I, Daming, can win!"

In Zeng Xueli's view, it is not an easy task to decide the outcome of this large-scale decisive battle involving more than 10 troops combined.

It is normal for the two sides to fight fiercely for a year and a half!

In any case, he never imagined that this decisive battle, from the offensive and defensive battle of Jiaxing City to the end of the Battle of Zhenjiang, unexpectedly only took more than a month, and Daming won the victory.

Also wiped out the Qing army going south!
In fact, not only Zeng Xueli did not expect, but also no one in the entire Ming army could have imagined that Daming could win so quickly!
……

The news of the defeat in the Jiangnan decisive battle quickly spread under the rule of the Qing court as the Eight Banners soldiers in Nanjing retreated to Jiangbei.

The fast horses sent news of the defeat in the Jiangnan decisive battle to the north without stopping.

Yangzhou, Huai'an, Linqing...

Cities along the Grand Canal have heard about it.

Many officials of the Qing court turned pale with shock, but the gentry and ordinary people below were more happy than worried.

There are even many well-to-do families who are planning to move to Jiangnan after learning the news of Daming's victory in the Jiangnan Battle.
