    Let's go back and see Fatty Lu's appearance as a villain. On the second day after officially occupying Nanjing City, Fatty Lu started the army expansion operation while resting the exhausted Fatty Army, desperately expanding his own army.  Strength, ready to annex Jiangnan completely.  Fortunately, Nanjing City is not only the largest granary and bank in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the city with the largest population and the most abundant manpower in the south of the Yangtze River. With the help of two big bosses, Xie Dong and Mu Tianyan, the recruiting of the Fatty Army has been carried out.  It went very smoothly. In less than three days, 3,000 new recruits were easily recruited. Coupled with the soldiers brought by Xie Dong and Mu Tianyan, the number of fat men quickly exceeded 50,000, reaching a total of more than 53,000  people.

    On April 22, the morning of the third day of occupying Nanjing, Fatty Lu couldn't wait to lead the soldiers of the three armies to worship in front of Ming Xiaoling Tomb and Zhu Yuanzhang's Mausoleum, in order to win the hearts of the Han people all over the world.  During the worship, Fatty Lu, the former movie star of the Qing Dynasty, wore a square scarf, held a libation, and cried three times. He cried until the sky was dark, the mountains and rivers changed color, and he fell to the ground.  The wailing shook the sky, but the Han people who were watching were unaware, and were greatly moved, and couldn't help crying!  Fatty Lu's feelings are so sincere and meaningful that even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was lying in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, was so moved that he couldn't help asking Empress Ma next to him¡ªour old Zhu family has a branch named Lu in Dali  Descendants?

    On the morning of the same day, the two generals Wang Xu and Li Jiyang who were stationed at Taiping Mansion sent an urgent report that the 20,000 Anqing Qing troops led by Niyahan had already arrived at the city of Taiping Mansion yesterday, and both the water and land battalions were stationed at Dongliang Mountain, but they did not launch an attack immediately.  City¡ªObviously, news of the fall of Nanjing has reached Niyahan's army, so Niyahan is already weighing up what will happen if he uses his weak force to forcibly attack Nanjing City, which has 50,000 defenders  as a result of?  Don't throw the meager capital in your hand into the Yangtze River if you can't take back the city of Nanjing.

    "Uncle Shao, use the fastest horse to reply to Wang Xu and Li Jiyang." Fatty Lu, whose mung bean eyes were crying into two rotten apricots, thought for a while, and immediately ordered in a hoarse voice: "Three orders, one, only to defend the city  , are not allowed to fight, and within a few days, Mangou will retreat. Second, pay attention to protecting the alum mine in Taiping Prefecture. Alum is also a raw material for making sulfuric acid. The more the better for us. Third, send skilled miners to find iron  Mine, according to my research, there must be a huge iron mine near Ma'anshan in Taiping Prefecture, if you can find it, it will be of great use!"

    "Of order." Wang Shaobo agreed immediately, and then asked in a low voice: "Boss, do you think Man Gou will retreat without fighting? Is there really no need to send reinforcements to Taiping Mansion?"

    "Of course." Fatty Lu replied confidently: "Niyahan's troops are not enough to counterattack Nanjing City, even if he storms the Taiping Mansion, it will not be of much use.  Our second prince is definitely going to copy Niyahan¡¯s old nest, Anqing City, and Niyahan will definitely settle this account.¡± Wang Shaobo stopped asking, and hurried down to write a letter, asking Fatty Lu to sign and seal it, and then send it with a fast horse.  To Taipingfu.

    In the next two days, Fatty Lu has been busy rectifying government and military affairs, appeasing the people of Nanjing, organizing people in the city to cut their braids and hair, and confiscating and receiving Nanjing's property.  Let Fatty Army, a group of bumpkins from Yunnan and Guizhou, open their eyes. Just in the homes of four Qing officials, the governor of Liangjiang, A Xixu, Jiangnan Liangdao Zhou Lianggong, Jiangning Salt Road Xia Qitong, and Jiangning weaving Cao Xi.  More than 3.8 million taels of cash were confiscated, not including other properties such as jewelry, jade, fields and houses!

    What surprised Xie Dong, Mu Tianyan and other local snakes was that among the five big greedy beetles, the person whose family property was confiscated the most was not the governor of Liangjiang, Ashish Xu they all thought, but Kang Mazi's favorite.  My dear friend¡ª¡ªCao Xi!  In his home, more than 1.45 million taels of cash were copied out!  Seeing this amount, Fatty Lu, who was already mentally prepared for it, couldn't help sighing: "No wonder the old Cao's family is really rich for a tael of silver and a pigeon egg!" After finishing speaking, Fatty Lu immediately ordered  , Send all the women of Lao Cao's family into the military prostitute camp, and let the fat army officers and soldiers avenge the people of Datong.

    With the money in his hand, Fatty Lu was naturally much more generous in giving rewards. More than 40,000 fat soldiers, including the most ordinary soldiers, also received a huge reward of twenty-five taels of silver, and announced that the salary of the fat soldiers will increase by three times from then on.  times!  In this way, the fat army soldiers whose monthly salary is only a few dollars are naturally all grinning from ear to ear.  , Get promoted and get rich!

    Taking advantage of the high morale of Fatty's army and the gradual recovery of soldiers' physical strength, Fatty Lu ordered Gao Dejie and Li Guodong to lead an army of 13,000 to attack Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, and Li Tianzhi led the army.??Personally led an army of 20,000 to the south, all the way to the Taiping Mansion¡ªit looked like Prince Kang was going to seek revenge from Fatty Lu.

    Fatty Lu is not afraid of Prince Kang Jieshu's ability at all. The only thing that worries Fatty Lu is the signal represented by this incident. If the Qing court is really determined to counterattack Nanjing at all costs, then Fatty Lu  The plan to annex the whole of Jiangnan as capital for making a fortune is bound to be completely disrupted.  But Fatty Lu also understands very well that it is absolutely impossible to dream that the Qing court will ignore him - he has choked the Qing court's water transportation throat seven inches, and the Qing court will definitely  No matter the cost, re-open the water transport.

    Therefore, Fatty Lu had no choice but to order Wang Xu and Li Jiyang to stick to Taiping City, while preparing to reinforce Taiping Mansion, and beat the two mangy dogs, Jie Shu and Niyahan, away with sticks.  However, at this time, an unexpected news spread into Nanjing City. Fatty Lu's friend Wang Xu sent a messenger, saying that he was already heading south along the canal, and hoped that Fatty Lu could issue an order to let Wu Jun go, so that he could  The fleet was able to pass through the river section controlled by the Wu army smoothly, and met with Fatty Lu in Nanjing to discuss important matters.

    "Brother Zizhuan came south to meet me? What is he up to? He is the Secretary of the Ministry of War and I am a rebel. Why did he come to see me? Didn't he come to Nanjing to surrender to me because he was afraid of being implicated by me?"

    After reading Wang Xu's autographed letter, Fatty Lu was baffled at first, and then soon came to his senses, with a smug smile on his fat face, "That's great, God helped me, with Brother Zizhuan's help, I can temporarily stabilize Mangou  There is great hope for the imperial court to gain a foothold."
