Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 198 Nanjing (VIII)

After entering the city, in addition to chasing down the Tartars and controlling important institutions, the security regiment also had to maintain law and order in the city and put out fires.Tens of thousands of people worked all night long before the situation in Jiangning City was stabilized.Under the siege of the regiments, many Tartars wanted to burn down the treasury house in desperation.This caused a lot of trouble for the regiments who entered the city.

Many regiment members fought hard for a day and stayed up all night, and their bodies were very tired, but whenever they thought that they had conquered such a famous city, they were very excited, and even if they were asked to sleep, they might not feel sleepy.

Qiu Tianxing also stayed up all night, and he was processing the documents with his red eyes open.Whether it was reporting the results of the battle or requesting documents for instructions, Qiu Tianxing carefully approved them.It wasn't until dawn the next day that he still hadn't finished his work.At this time, even though there were still many documents waiting for approval, Qiu Tianxing put down his work because he had more important things to do.That is entering the city!

To conquer a famous city, in order to show the strength and momentum of the regiment to the people in the city, there must be a ceremony of entering the city.

Because the feat of the Guards Battalion in blasting the city wall of Yifeng Gate was recognized by Qiu Tianxing as the first achievement, the first troops to enter the city were combat heroes selected from the Guards Battalion.

After learning that they would enter the city as the first batch of honor guards, the selected regiment members were extremely excited.What an honor it will be!Because of the propaganda of the preachers, some members of the regiment also accepted the idea that glory is higher than life.

This kind of treatment made many members of the regiment who were not selected extremely jealous, and some were even willing to exchange the rewards they were about to receive in exchange for such honors.

After two hours of running-in and a little training, the regiments selected from each team gradually cooperated and got a little tacit.

The whole night, except for a few group members who were able to get a rest, most of the group members did not close their eyes.They continued to occupy various important institutions, maintain law and order, seal the city gates and go out to hunt down those who fled.Although they are physically exhausted, their spirits are very excited.After taking down Jiangning City, their security team will become a force that attracts the attention of the world.They also knew from the mouth of the preacher that the former Ming Taizu also started from Jiangning to conquer the world. At that time, Jiangning was still called Jiqing.

From the hero of the dragon, the founding father, the prosperity of the family, and the descendants of En Meng.These words kept flashing in the minds of the members of the regiment. The status that was once out of reach seems to be within reach today. After some blood baptism, these former mud legs may also become meritorious nobles in the future.At this moment, the loyalty of these veterans and newcomers to the security group has increased a bit.When Qiu Tian walked out of the camp and came in front of the regiment members, many regiment members looked at Qiu Tianxing not only with admiration, but also with piety and worship.

At this moment, standing outside Jubao Gate and looking at Jiangning City, Qiu Tianxing was in a very good mood.Yesterday, I was also looking at this city gate, but at that time the Tartar flag was still flying on the city wall.Today, when I looked at the city gate again, it was replaced by the banner of the security regiment flying high.

Just now, I received the battle reports from the third battalion and the fifth battalion.Now the third battalion has captured Jurong Danyang, and the fifth battalion has also captured Lishui Gaochun.Zhang Liansheng of the third battalion also asked for reinforcements, preparing to conquer Zhenjiang and close the east gate of Jiangning Mansion.

At this moment, the main force has captured Jiangning, and the two partial divisions have achieved remarkable results. Qiu Tianxing is in a very good mood.

When the time came to Chen Shizheng, the regiment army's entry ceremony was about to begin.The front and back of the Jubao Gate were cleaned up overnight, the corpses on the surface were buried, the flesh and blood residue in the city walls were washed with clean water, and clean loess was sprinkled on the muddy ground.

The first batch of teams to enter the city were combat heroes selected from the Guards Battalion, and there were hundreds of them.They walked on the bluestone road with their heads held high, their heads held high, and their chests held high.After them, Qiu Tianxing led the top management of the regiment headquarters into the Jubao Gate, and after that came the mighty army of tens of thousands.Except for the regiments who must be stationed in various institutions and responsible for city defense, the rest who can stand up are here.

The regiment army in the attack on Jiangning City lost a lot this time, especially in front of Jubao Gate. In order to contain the power of the Tartars, the attack on the city was very difficult.The Guards Battalion also suffered heavy casualties in the blasting operation of Yifeng Gate.Less than half of the 10 regiments when they first came out of the mountain are now less than half, and the new recruits who were recruited later had fewer casualties because of their light combat missions, but they also suffered thousands of battle losses.After the division of the two partial divisions, the siege team had [-] people. Now, after only one day and one night, more than [-] people were damaged in battle.It was precisely because of the impact of the regiments who risked their lives one after another that the Tartar soldiers guarding the city were terrified and had little will to fight.

Although the siege suffered a lot of losses, the results were huge.Nearly 3 casualties were exchanged for this famous city, which is also worth it.

When the mighty army entered Jiangning City from the gate of the city, Qiu Tianxing found that there were regiments on duty standing on both sides of the road, and the picture in his mind holding colorful flags to welcome Master Wang into the city did not appear.This made Qiu Tianxing feel a little disappointed. After all, in his previous life, when he watched TV, he could always see lanterns, festoons, gongs, lions, dancers, and flags to welcome the liberation, but when he came to his place, most of the gates were closed, residents trembled, and passers-by disappeared. of.

But after thinking about it for a while, Qiu Tianxing was relieved. After all, the regiment army had just arrived in Jiangning and had been mobilizing troops all night. Jiangning City had been at peace for a long time, and the residents of the city were naturally afraid of the army of the security regiment and did not dare to show their faces.They thought the battle was not over yet, if they went out and were killed as Tartars, they would be wronged.But this time the ceremony of entering the city was carried out in a hurry, and the regiment headquarters did not order the people in the city to come and watch it. Without the organization of the security regiment, it was normal for no one to come.

Fortunately, not long after, Zhou Zhen, who realized the problem, had someone notify the surrounding residents, and only then did many people come out sparsely.

In fact, they had already secretly watched the army through the crack of the door.Although this team is neatly lined up, the clothes are too messy, and it looks like a bandit armed.

Not only these people, even Qiu Tianxing was frowning at the moment.He didn't feel it on weekdays, but when he entered the city today, he felt that the colorful and colorful clothes of the regiment members and even the women's clothes were too ugly.In the past, there was no uniform clothing due to lack of conditions or time, but now it is different. After taking down Jiangning City, they have captured a lot of money, and there are still financial guarantees for two sets of clothes in spring and autumn.In addition, since it has become a force that can be counted in the world, the standard weapons have to be upgraded.In particular, firearms cannot always be seized.In order to improve the combat capability of the partial division during the attack on Jiangning this time, Qiu Tianxing distributed all the artillery to Zhang Liansheng and Zhang Chengwu. In this way, they failed to receive artillery support when they attacked Jubaomen, and the team suffered a great loss.

There are also convening of doctors to rescue the wounded and sick, the burial ceremony of the martyrs, the post-war rewards of the regiments, the distribution of fields, the training of the regiments, the recruitment of new recruits, the establishment of institutions such as neighborhood committees, village committees, farmers' associations, etc., to attack the eastern part of Jiangning Prefecture. Zhufu, deal with the next counterattack from the Tartars, and so on and so on.These transactions are numerous and urgent.Of course, after the overall situation stabilized, the team and their family members who stayed in the Dabie Mountains had to be picked up.The conditions in the mountains are very different from those in Jiangning City. His wife and children have suffered a lot with him, especially his son Qiu Dining, who has never been out of the deep mountains and old forests since he was born. up.

On the way to the headquarters of the regiment, which was once the Tazi's Liangjiang Governor's Office, Qiu Tianxing was full of thoughts about what he was about to deal with.

Taking down Jiangning City is not the end, it's just the beginning.
