I will be the prince at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 70 The Battle of Jiangning ([-])

The capital, also known as the inner city, is the third city wall from the inside to the outside of the Jiangning quadruple city wall.

The circumference of the capital is 35.267 kilometers, the area is about 55 square kilometers, the height of the city is 14-26 meters, the width of the city is 7-30 meters, there are 13616 crenels, 200 nests, and 13 gates:
Zhengyang Gate, Tongji Gate, Jubao Gate, Sanshan Gate, Shicheng Gate, Qingliang Gate, Dinghuai Gate, Yifeng Gate, Zhongfu Gate, Jinchuan Gate, Shence Gate, Taiping Gate, Chaoyang Gate, and 2 Shuiguan Gates: Dongshuiguan and Xishuiguan.

The city wall of the capital city was laid out according to the astrology, according to the geographical situation of mountains, lakes, and rivers, and was built according to the needs of defense according to the situation.

The city wall of the capital is built according to the constellations of the Southern Dipper and the Big Dipper in the sky. The 13 gates of the capital correspond to the thirteen stars of the Six Stars of the South Dipper and the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper.The interior of Nandoushao is a traditional residential area, and the interior of Beidoudoushao is a new imperial city.

Between the two spoon handles is the military area, which not only meets the economic conditions and the aspirations of the people, but also protects the two most prosperous areas of Jiangning City.

More importantly, the design idea of ​​Taoist metaphor in the architectural language of Jiangning City Wall, adhering to the desire of the imperial power to be "supreme" and "forever the master of mankind", embodies the designer's thoughts of "harmony between man and nature" and "imperial power and God's acceptance".

Back at the Meridian Gate, Zhu Cixuan ordered Chen Gong to lead people to search the residences of the Tatars such as Angbangzhangjing Kakamu, Melezhangjing Gachuha, Marsai, Liangjiang Governor Lang Tingzuo in the imperial city.Register and record the searched proceeds and send them to the internal warehouse.

Zhu Cixuan himself drove his horse to the inner warehouse, opened the door of the inner warehouse, and saw an aisle about three feet wide in the middle, and on both sides of the aisle were warehouses with locked doors, there were always as many as ten rooms.Zhu Cixuan took the keys he found and opened the doors one by one. Most of these warehouses were empty, with nothing in them.

Only in the three warehouses, the boxes are neatly stacked along the three walls, and the empty space in the middle is very spacious.Zhu Cixuan walked into the room where the most boxes were piled up, and saw a note on the box, which said 1000 taels. When he opened it, he found that the inside was full of white silver. Counting carefully, there were 135 boxes in total.

Zhu Cixuan sent 35 boxes full of silver to a warehouse in the system space, leaving 10 boxes, or [-] taels of silver.

He came out of this warehouse and walked into another one. The boxes were also marked with 1000 taels. He opened a box, and the inside was glittering with gold. He opened more than ten boxes one after another. They were all filled with gold. A box, that is, 35 taels.Zhu Cixuan directly took away 5000 boxes and 5 taels of gold.

Walk into the last warehouse with a box. The box is opened, and it contains pearls, agate, gold, silver and jade.There are at least nine boxes here, Zhu Cixuan didn't touch the contents this time, just locked the door and left.

He came out of the storeroom of the inner treasury and went to Wenhua Hall, which is where Zhu Biao used to work and live.As a prince, it is more appropriate to stay in the Wenhua Palace, and it is not appropriate to live in other places.

Wenhua Palace is not a single palace, but a complex of buildings, including two supporting halls, east and west.Among them, the inscription on the plaque of the East Nuan Pavilion reads "Xiao Yi Shi Shi", and the inscription "Tianlu Yuehua" in the West Hall is said to be written by Zhan Xiyuan.

At this time, Zhu Cixuan was staying in the East Nuan Pavilion that Qingchan and Qingyu had cleaned up.Soon, Chen Gong came in and reported:
"His Royal Highness, the residences of Aungbangzhangjing Kakamu, Melezhangjing Gachuha, Marsai, Liangjiang Governor Lang Tingzuo and other Tatars have been searched. This is the proceeds of the search, please have a look."

Zhu Cixuan took the booklet and opened it, "3 taels of gold, 34 taels of silver, and six boxes of gold, silver, jade, and jewelry were confiscated at Aungbangzhang Jingka Kamu.

4000 taels of gold, 28 taels of silver, and four boxes of gold, silver, jade, and jewelry were confiscated at Melezhangjinga Chuha.

Martha confiscated 2000 taels of gold, 20 taels of silver, and three boxes of jewelry and jade.

Lang Ting's assistant confiscated 6000 taels of gold, 13 taels of silver, and three boxes of jewelry and jade.A total of 4000 taels of gold, 2000 taels of silver, and 96 boxes of gold, silver, jade, and jewelry were confiscated. "

Hiss...these Tartars are indeed masters in plundering money, among them Angbang Zhangjing Kakham, Mele Zhangjing Gachuha, and Marsai are the most. many.

Although Lang Tingzuo is less, it is probably because he is a fake Tartar of the Han army with a yellow banner, not a real Tartar of the Eight Banners.

Zhu Cixuan took out the key of the inner treasury and handed it to Chen Gongdao: "Gongtai has the key of the inner treasury at this time, send all the gold, silver, jade, and jewelry confiscated this time into the inner treasury, together with the existing property of the treasury, enthronement and bookkeeping .

另外从中提出5万两银子，给士兵们发一个月的饷银，其中士兵每人二两银子、伍长三两、什长（小旗）五两、总旗10两、试百户15两、百户20两、副千户30两、千户50两、参将70两、总兵100两。

You receive 100 taels from the public platform yourself. If there is more, buy some meat for the soldiers and improve their meals. If there is a shortage, you can find the prince to make up for it. "

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince." Chen Gong took the key to the inner treasury and bid farewell.

"Ding dong, trigger task three, recover the entire Jiangning within five days, and reward 1000 lottery draw for consumption of 1 gold coins, and 10000 lottery draw for consumption of 1 gold coins. Ask the customer whether to draw a lottery." At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Zhu Cixuan's mind .

This means that all the Tartars in Jiangning City have been wiped out, and Zheng Chenggong's army has entered the inner city. Should I go and visit him?Zhu Cixuan frowned and walked around the East Nuan Pavilion of the Wenhua Palace twice, thinking secretly in his heart.

He is the prince, and Zheng Chenggong is the three-character king of King Yanping, and his rank is one level lower than himself. It stands to reason that Zheng Chenggong should come here to pay respects to himself first, which is in accordance with etiquette.

But it can't be counted like this now, Zheng Chenggong has a [-] army under his command, and as a prince himself, he really might not be seen by him.

Li Dingguo is also a two-character king on the same level as himself, and one rank higher than Zheng Chenggong's three-character king. If Li Dingguo comes, Zhu Cixuan estimates that Zheng Chenggong may not necessarily give Li Dingguo face.

Before, his father Zhu Youlang issued several edicts, asking Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo to join forces to fight against the Tartars. Zheng Chenggong ignored it and continued to do his own thing. Zheng Chenggong is not too cold about Zhu Youlang, the Yongli Emperor.

Even taking himself probably doesn't have much weight in his heart, Zhu Cixuan looked up at the sky outside, and found that it was already late, just right, there is no need to go now, let's wait until tomorrow, Zhu Cixuan finds an excuse for himself.
