Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 292 Daming Dragon Vein (please subscribe!)
Wan Zhengse didn't bother to compensate each one according to the price, and directly ordered the forcible expropriation of civilian ships.

The military situation is urgent, so there is no time to lose money!

In his eyes, since Kangxi had already ordered to use the natural danger of the Yangtze River to stop the Ming army, these ships that might become the aid of the Ming army would naturally cease to exist.

Jiangning Mansion is full of cities. In 1645, the Qing army conquered Jiangning Mansion, and then occupied the Daming Imperial City in the east of the city, expelled the local residents, and changed it to Eight Banners barracks.

The Jiangning Mancheng garrison roughly maintains more than 5000 soldiers, with a population of 2 to 3 bannermen, controlled by General Jiangning, who is responsible for suppressing the southeast area.

The perimeter of the city wall is 11 kilometers, accounting for about 20% of the total area of ​​Jiangning City, and it is the largest among the garrison cities in the Qing Dynasty.

Since banner people cannot do business or farm land, they either serve as soldiers, or eat at home and wait to die.

Therefore, even if he confiscated all these ships by force, it would only be the Han people who suffered losses.

Although he has no time to lose money, he has time to go to Jackie Chan to get money.

Therefore, the compensation for the common people went into Wan Zhengse's pocket.

Soon, as soon as the order of forced requisition was issued, countless Qing soldiers started to act. They rushed to the pier with their swords and soldiers, and drove away no matter whose ship it was.

Under the shining blade, no one dared to stop it, and the common people could only cry and curse bitterly at the robbed ship.

But the question is is the Yangtze River really so easy to be blocked?

The area where Wan Zhengse chose to sink the ship was in the Yangzhong waters not far from the lower reaches of Zhenjiang, where the Yangtze River Navy was stationed.

The river in this section of water is only about one kilometer wide, and it is already a narrow section of the Yangtze River that is rare in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It seems that the best choice is to close the river with a shipwreck in this section.

But when the Qing army began to sink ships, problems arose.

The Qing army loaded all the civilian ships with stones, connected the ends with hemp ropes, and began to dig ships to seal the river.

However, due to the different sinking speeds of the ships, and the narrow river channel in this area and the rapid current, during the sinking process of the ship, either the hemp rope broke, or the bow and stern of the ship were directly broken by the huge force.

The sinking ship was also washed up in pieces by the turbulent river.

Under such circumstances, the previously prepared ships were obviously not enough, Wan Zhengse hurriedly ordered to confiscate them again, but at this time, Daming's Minhai Fleet had already appeared in the waters of the sunken ship.

Looking at the warships of the Ming army that suddenly appeared on the river, the Yangtze River Navy of the Qing army did not even resist, and chose to flee for their lives.

Yu Chenglong did have an order that the Yangtze River Navy must stop the Ming army, but the two sides are not on the same level at all, how to stop it?
The plan to seal off the river has failed. Is it really a suicide ship?
Back then, Shi Lang's Fujian Navy also thought so, and even the Satsuma Navy Navy of the Japanese Kingdom thought so.

But didn't their final result still collectively fill the belly of the fish?

The short heavy artillery is the least afraid of these suicide ships that can only attack in close quarters!
Therefore, the Yangtze River Navy of the Qing Army was unwilling to die and chose to flee collectively. The Minhai Fleet did not immediately pursue but stopped.

Although the Qing army's operation to seal the river was unsuccessful, it still caused trouble for the Ming navy.

Since some of the sunken ships were submerged underwater, the Ming Navy still had to sort out the channel before proceeding to Yingtianfu.

Fortunately, Ying Tianfu was within easy reach, so Zhu Kezang was not in such a hurry at this time.

After the Ming Navy carefully crossed this almost blocked waterway, the rest was smooth sailing.

The Ming navy went upstream and began to blockade Yingtianfu.

A round of scorching sun reflected on the lush Zijin Mountain.

The mountain is winding, but it stands proudly, like a giant dragon lying on the edge of Yingtian City.

Standing on the side of Zijin Mountain, Zhu Kezang raised his eyes and looked into the distance. He could see a large complex of well-regulated golden glazed tile buildings under Dulongfu of Zijin Mountain and Mount Everest, covering an area of ​​hundreds of hectares.

This is the mausoleum of Ming Taizu, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife Empress Ma - Xiaoling.

Before attacking Yingtianfu City, Xiaoling Mausoleum outside the city was first surrounded by guards.

The first thing Zhu Kezang did after landing was to meet up with the Ming Guards.

The Xiaoling Mausoleum is adjacent to the Linggu Temple at the foot of Zijin Mountain in the east and Meihua Mountain in the south. The overall layout imitates the Big Dipper and the sky surrounded by four elephants.

Seven buildings including Xiamafang, Dajinmen, Wangzhu, Lingxingmen, Wulongqiao, Xiangdian and Baocheng are arranged from the head of the Big Dipper to the handle of the spoon.And Dulongfu, Qinglong Mountain, Dalian Mountain, Mufu Mountain, Lion Mountain, Qingliang Mountain, Niushou Mountain, Wanzhu Peak, and Meihua Mountain form the four gods of Xuanlong and Tiger.

The site selection of this Xiaoling Mausoleum is also very particular. Zijin Mountain running northeast is the dragon head, Taiping Gate is the dragon neck, Fugui Mountain goes west along the Nanjing city wall to Jiuhua Mountain, Jiming Temple, and then to Fuhougang, Drum Tower, and Wutai Mountain to form a dragon. Body, Yeshan Taoist Temple is the tail of the dragon.

It is where the Daming Dragon Vein is located!
As early as the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang said: "Zhongshan is a dragon, and Shicheng is a tiger. It is really the residence of the emperor!"

This Zhongshan is Zijin Mountain, which shows the prosperity of Fengshui here.

But right now, this dragon vein that controls Daming's luck is right in front of Zhu Kezang.

As a later generation who has learned knowledge of natural science since childhood, Zhu Kezang has due respect for "feng shui dragon veins", but he is not superstitious about it.

But he is very clear that the word "dragon vein" has an irreplaceable meaning to the people of Ming Dynasty!
I don't know how many people in this world have lost the will to resist because the dragon veins of the Ming Dynasty were taken by the Tartars.

Therefore, if the new Ming Dynasty can fully recover Xiaoling, it will be of great significance to the support of the people of the world.

"The battle over Xiaoling is about to begin." Zhu Kezang looked at the foot of Zijin Mountain and signaled to Pan Aqiang, "Recapture the dragon veins of my Ming Dynasty first, and then Yingtian City!
"It's just that under the sword, I'm afraid it will inevitably damage the furnishings in the mausoleum..."

Zhu Kezang looked up at the sky, and interrupted Pan Aqiang: "What time is it? Why is there no movement at Xiaoling?"

"Go back to the emperor, it's time to apply."

It was an hour and a half later than the scheduled capture of Xiaoling.

Zhu Kezang frowned, and was about to send someone to check the situation, when he saw Qin Zhiguo from the third town brought several officers and a group of soldiers up the mountain quickly, and saluted with joy on his face: "Your Majesty, Xiaoling has already arrived!" Take control for Daming!"

"So fast?!" Zhu Kezang was a little surprised.

Because of the great significance of the Xiaoling Mausoleum, General Wat Dai of Jiangning has sent nearly a thousand people to garrison here. The scouts of the Guards reported a few days ago that the Manchurian Yellow Banner Tartars had dug a trench outside the mausoleum, and there were guns inside. .

The Xiaoling Mausoleum was surrounded by a city wall, and it was only about seven miles east of Nanjing City. The Qing army rushed out of the city and could rush here for reinforcements in a short time.

Therefore, Wang Xianwu's second town Chen Bing responded to the east side of Tiancheng and made careful preparations before attacking Xiaoling.

Unexpectedly, before the expected fierce battle started, Xiaoling was already in the possession of the Ming Dynasty!
