Under the fierce shelling, the defenders in the city were unwilling to resist. When the soldiers of Donghai Town jumped onto the city wall, the soldiers of the imperial guards on Zhenjiang City collapsed.

Looking out of the building, Li Chengdong saw the tiger flag of Donghai Town and was inserted into the top of the city, and then he realized, with a shock on his face, "What about the hard city guarded by 50,000 people? "

It took less than an hour and a half from the siege of the city to the head of the city, and Zhao Ming captured the Zhenjiang Fortress, known as the gateway to Nanjing.

At this moment, the Jiangdong lion, who was invincible invincible, seemed to have recovered.

After the Battle of Jiangbei, all forces looked down on Zhao Ming, and the current battle was enough to shock the world, so that everyone in the world knew that Zhao Dashen was still the incredibly fierce, and the elite soldiers of the East China Sea were back.

"Your Highness, what kind of cannon is this?" Li Chengdong recovered after a long shock, and asked anxiously.

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "This is a lonely mortar, which is big and thick, and can fire shells of more than 30 kilograms."

Li Chengdong stared at the cannon array, "What kind of shell was fired?"

Zhao Ming said: "Blooming bullet!"

Li Chengdong licked his lips, "Can your Highness sell me some mortars and flowering bullets?"

Zhao Ming's head was swaying like a rattle, "No, these cannons are still confidential."

Li Chengdong said: "All of them are brothers from Zhejiang Army, but they are family members, so I can't do it either!"

Zhao Ming turned his head and saw Li Chengdong, with a look of giving me Lao Li a face, and still refused cruelly, "No!"

When Li Chengdong heard the words, he was in a bad mood.

At this time, Zhao Ming said: "This batch of cannons is not easy to manufacture and is very expensive. It's really a big cannon, and it's a thousand taels of gold. With the conditions of Huaian Town, it can't afford it!"

When Li Chengdong heard that there was a show, he immediately became entangled in his heart.

Li Chengdong had more than 100,000 soldiers in his town, and the imperial court only gave him 30,000 yuan in staff and still owed half a year of salary. He was a copper slaughter, and the soldiers had no money to pay, so poor that they could not afford to eat. He had borrowed hundreds of thousands of taels from Huaxing Money House. Now that the principal and interest were added, he owed 600,000 taels to Donghai Town. He was really poor and had no money to buy cannons and buy equipment.

However, Li Chengdong was very aware of it. He could borrow money from Zhao Ming again if he had no money. After buying cannons, he would capture the territory, and then pay back the money. Anyway, he would not suppress his debts. If he couldn't pay it back, he could still be repaid.

Li Chengdong immediately said, "Your Highness offers a price, no matter how much, I, Old Li, will take it."

Zhao Ming shook his head, "Let's talk about it!"

Zhao Ming knew that Li Chengdong had no money, but Li Chengdong had soldiers under him.

Now, the situation in Jiangnan is tense, but Li Chengdong still has 6,000 elite soldiers, acting as mercenaries on the battlefield in Liaodong and serving Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming can give Li Chengdong some of these artillery and hire more troops to serve him, but now is not the time.

At this time, the east gate of Zhenjiang City had been opened by Zhejiang soldiers, and countless soldiers rushed in. The city that was defended by 50,000 people was captured in less than 30,000 people in less than a day.

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Prepare to enter the city to calm the people with his orphans!"

A large number of Zhejiang troops flocked into the city, and the Zhejiang troops took down Zhenjiang City at less than a thousand people.

This can be said to be the easiest battle that the Zhejiang Army has fought in recent years. Even many Zhejiang soldiers did not expect that they would be so powerful.

At noon, the battle in Zhenjiang City ended. Zhejiang, which sieges the city, suffered extremely small losses, and the imperial guards who defended the city, actually had little losses.

Tang Tong asked someone to count the results of the battle. He killed less than 3,000 soldiers and captured as many as 20,000. The remaining defenders fled from Ximen and fled towards Nanjing.

At this time, Tang Tong asked someone to clean up a little, and Zhao Ming entered Zhenjiang City surrounded by many generals.

This was a war within the Ming Dynasty, and the Longwu court did not lose the people's hearts. On the contrary, after peace talks between the north and the south, the world gained temporary peace, and the people under the Longwu court were able to rest and recuperate, but they all recognized the rule of the court.

Therefore, most people actually waited and watched the civil war, and in contrast, they were more concerned about the court. After all, the Longwu court restored local stability, and the Zhejiang Army's uprising broke their peaceful life.

For most people, who is the emperor is not their concern.

When Zhao Ming entered Zhenjiang, he was not as welcomed by the gentry and people when he entered the Zhejiang-based base camp Hangzhou. Most of the people closed their doors tightly, fearing that they were injured by the rioters. However, the Zhejiang-based officers and soldiers entering the city were very motivated and cheered straight into the sky.

On the walls of Zhenjiang, there are also key points in the city. The soldiers of Zhejiang soldiers raised their weapons and shouted wildly.

After the war in Jiangbei, the morale of Donghai Town once fell to the bottom. Unexpectedly, the soldiers did not regain their confidence from the Qing army, but they regained their confidence and morale that looked down on the world from their own people.

Zhao Ming entered Zhenjiang amid the cheers of the city, and then asked someone to post a list to appease the people, and ordered the city to be blocked and the capture was counted.

Zhenjiang was a fortress that the Longwu court focused on. There were many warehouses in the city and a large amount of military capital was collected. It was originally used to reduce the vassal states and collect Jiangdong and other places, but now it all fell into the hands of Zhao Ming.

The residence of the general general of Zhenjiang, in the temporary hall.

Tang Tong and others came to pay a visit, "Your Highness, I am fortunate to be humiliated and seize Zhenjiang City. This time, I captured Zhenjiang and 20,000 troops were surrendered, and Chen Youlong, the general of Zhenjiang, captured the armed forces of the army, and the food and grass were seized in the city. It has been sealed, and there is no specific number for the time being!"

The defenders were defeated so quickly that the soldiers and horses in the city were captured by the Zhejiang army before they had time to escape.

Zhao Ming was in a happy mood and nodded slightly: "Thank you all for your hard work! In this battle, General Tang defeated the glory of my Donghai Town, and I will be rewarded with great rewards."

Tang Tong saluted with a smile, "This is all the power of Your Highness, sharp equipment, and soldiers use their lives! They dare not take credit for their humble duties!"

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "General Tang doesn't have to be humble. All the soldiers of the army, the lonely king, have to reward him!"

After saying that, Zhao Ming waved his hand and said, "Send orders to kill pigs and sheep, reward the entire army. After the army is full, the troops will be sent to Nanjing tomorrow!"

The Zhejiang Army seized a large number of supplies in the city, many of which were the food and grass collected by the imperial court in Zhenjiang.

Liu Chengyin's army was a member of He Tengjiao, and his treatment was more favorable than Shunshi. A lot of meat and rice were stored in the city.

Now that Zhao Ming ordered the reward of the army, the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army opened the warehouse directly and bought pigs and sheep from the market, so that the whole army could eat.

At this time, Liu Qian and other brothers from the new military camp took the dishes and chopsticks and prepared to go to get food.

Yang Zhenwei sat on the bunk bed without moving. Seeing this, Liu Qian couldn't help but say, "Old Yang, aren't you going to have a meal?"

Yang Zhenwei had a strange expression on his face and smiled and said, "I'll go later."

Liu Qian couldn't help but wonder, "The king rewarded the army. I'm late and let others eat the meat!"

Yang Zhenwei hesitated a little, "You go first, I'll come later."
