Nanjing has been occupied.

This is true. On August 3, when Xiao Ruxun arrived at Zhennan Pass, Jiang Dahai led the main force of the navy to sail to Nanjing after conquering Zhenjiang Prefecture, preparing to take Nanjing in one fell swoop.

He succeeded.

This bold move succeeded.

In fact, when Jiang Dahai launched an attack, Xu Hongji, the left-behind Nanjing, and Ye Mengxiong, the Minister of War, had already received the news that Zhenjiang Prefecture was attacked, but they did not react and could not believe it.

Ye Mengxiong searched everywhere for reliable news, and asked Xu Hongji to prepare to assemble the army in case of emergency. However, the news was not waiting for the news, and the army did not assemble, but instead waited for Jiang Dahai's navy.

Nanjing had no effective defense at all. Before the city gate and suspension bridge could be pulled up, the city gate was seized by the Zhennan Army army and broke into Nanjing in one fell swoop. The city of Nanjing was in chaos, and officials and soldiers ran around, making a doomsday scene.

Faced with this situation, the leaders of Nanjing governments who had not even figured out the enemy who attacked Nanjing had to evacuate Nanjing urgently, otherwise they would be taken away by these unknown enemies.

Xu Hongji was frightened at that time and took the lead in running away without even daring to go back. Ye Mengxiong planned to call for someone to resist, saying that Nanjing was too important and could not give up Nanjing. As a result, he was knocked unconscious by his confidants around him and ran away with him.

The two leaders ran away, and the remaining fish and shrimps didn't care about it. They ran away while the Zhennan Army had not yet swept the whole city. They could run one by one when they were fighting for foot strength, but in the end, twenty or thirty people were caught by the Zhennan Army.

The city of Nanjing was blocked that night, and the city was in a mess, and it was almost the same outside the city. It was not until Jiang Dahai saw the Nanjing Palace with his own eyes that he truly realized that the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty was taken down so easily.

Is this really a war? Is this really a flat push?

Is the combat effectiveness of the army in the mainland of Ming Dynasty so poor?

Just no defense force?

Don’t worry about being attacked at all? Is their information lagging so behind?

Jiang Dahai did not raise troops to move south again. He didn't have many troops in his hands. Moreover, his mission was to cut off the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou. After mastering Zhenjiang Prefecture and Nanjing, he had already completed the task in excess. He also needed to undertake certain alert tasks, such as blocking the road where Shen Yiguan transported the army south through the canal.

But since then, the soldiers of Jiang Dahai and Zhennan Army lost their last fear of the imperial court. They boldly turned their eyes to the north, full of hunger and thirst.

Nanjing City was just under their feet and was trampled under their feet. At this moment, it was only a month since they started the war.

Jiang Dahai’s doubts are really the answer. The combat effectiveness of the mainland garrison troops is so poor. Otherwise, how could there be such an incredible thing as fifty-six Japanese pirates rampant in the southeast and poisoning thousands of miles?

The elite soldiers and generals of the Ming Dynasty were all in the north. Since the Japanese pirates were pacified, there has been no major wars in the south. There have been several consecutive battles in the north, and a large number of elite troops have never returned after being transferred north. At this moment, the south is the military vacuum zone of the Ming Dynasty.

They didn't have the power to defend themselves and were not worried about being attacked. Who would have thought that Nanjing would be attacked?

Who would have thought that Xiao Ruxun would just throw the table over and start a war, and even let the navy go north to attack Nanjing?

They didn't even know who the enemy they were facing. The news could not be summarized or analyzed at all. They didn't know where the enemy came from and where they were going. It was a mess, and the officials who were running for life had no time to gather the news to make a judgment. They had not yet confirmed their lives!

The quiet and prosperous South was stabbed hard by tough military forces.

After the Five Army Governor's Office became empty, the Ming government now has no professional military command organization, no emergency mechanism, and extremely poor mobilization power. This is particularly obvious in Nanjing.

In their opinion, the south is a stable and harmonious back garden. Nanjing is a nursing home for officials who cannot survive in the capital. Since the Japanese pirates were pacified, they have been idle and comfortable for a long time and have been unable to deal with sudden wars.

The Zhennan Army is different from the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates have no specific strategic goals. They are basically a mess, just a loose combination. However, the Zhennan Army has a strict organization and a clear goal. They are here for you.

If Nanjing, the Economic Center of the Information Center, will be in chaos for a while, the entire south will be in chaos for a while. At this moment, even if the north reacts, Chen Yiguan cannot issue orders to the south. Under the strong attack of the Zhennan Army, the local governments in the south cannot organize even a main force to fight the Zhennan Army.

Chen Yiguan could only dispatch troops from the north.

Chen Yiguan has lost control and mastery of the Southeast, and he cannot effectively dispatch any military force in the Southeast. As time goes by, it is inevitable that he will lose control of the entire Jiangnan.

And at this time, did Chen Yiguan know that Xiao Ruxun had launched an army?

On August 3, the Zhennan Army raised an army for a month. When it was conquered in Nanjing, he didn't know anything. He thought the world was safe and he was still planning his political blueprint.

As a result, on August 10, Xiao Ruxun was unstoppable in Guangxi, Yunnan was pacified, and Guangdong was basically pacified. When Liu Mawei played a grand song to march into Sichuan, Chen Yiguan received an unclear news.

Report on the Yangzhou Zhenjiang route section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was cut off by an unknown navy.

The report said that Zhenjiang Prefecture seemed to be under the control of this unknown army, and a large amount of grain transported was blocked and unable to go north. The situation was extremely critical, and even Yangzhou Prefecture was in danger.

The Yangzhou Prefect has quickly organized a shipwreck to block the waterway to prevent the fleet from heading north, but it is still very dangerous. He asked the court to send troops immediately and Yangzhou Prefecture will provide more information back as soon as possible.

At that time, Chen Yiguan, the general of Ji Town, was planning to replace him and was stunned.

Zhenjiang Prefecture was captured?

The Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou was cut off?

The grain was intercepted?

Unknown navy?

Whose navy?

Whose navy is so bold?

Chen Yiguan was extremely surprised, and Shi Xing and Cai Guozhen, who were working together in the cabinet at that time, were also shocked.

"Unknown navy captured Zhenjiang Prefecture? Cut off the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou? How is this possible?"

Cai Guozhen walked to Chen Yiguan and picked up the urgent newspaper and read it. She was frightened.

Shi Xing didn't dare to go over and see it, but it didn't matter whether he looked or not.

"How is this possible? Where did the navy come from? He dared to do such a traitor............"

Cai Guozhen was halfway through his words, and suddenly, a very terrible guess rose in his heart.

He looked back at Shi Xing, and his eyes were matched with Shi Xing, and Shi Xing's expression changed drastically.

Cai Guozhen knew that Shi Xing and he thought of going together.

Then Cai Guozhen turned around and looked at Chen Yiguan.

"Sinceremony, is this going to be..."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Chen Yiguan slapped the table and shouted: "I set up a net of heaven and earth, and he would never escape! Even if the Japanese pirates reappeared in the southeast, he would never escape! Let me write to Yangzhou Prefecture and ask what the hell is going on in Yangzhou Prefecture!!"

Chen Yiguan's face turned red and his eyes were fierce, and he completely lost his previous calmness.

Cai Guozhen was startled and quickly left the cabinet to do business. Shi Xing hesitated for a while and stood up to say goodbye. He planned to go to the Ministry of War and had something to confirm.

Immediately afterwards, on August 15, the clear news that Chen Yiguan wanted came.

To be precise, it is not military intelligence, but a manifesto that can answer Chen Yiguan’s current doubts.

A manifesto to fight against rebellion.

The author's signature is enough to make people in the capital city frightened.

Duke of Qin of the Ming Dynasty was the governor of the Jingying Rongzheng, and Xiao Ruxun, the left governor of the Central Army Governor's Office.
