    On the Yangtze River in Dangtu, which is more than a hundred miles away from Nanjing, more than 700 warships stretch for seven or eight miles, heading towards Nanjing rapidly along the river.  From the day it left the mouth of Poyang Lake, Zhu Chenhao's army covered hundreds of miles of waterways in just over three days. If it hadn't been for half a day in Anqing Prefecture, waiting for the ship of grain and grass supplies to be evacuated from Nanchang.  Team rationing, they have already arrived at the gate of Nanjing.  The loss of Nanchang was naturally expected. Since Zhu Chenhao had made up his mind to abandon Nanchang, although his heart hurt, it was not unacceptable.  He was just angry that Wan Rui dared to disobey his order and did not withdraw all the soldiers and horses to follow the large army. Fifteen thousand soldiers and horses were lost in Nanchang City. This was what annoyed him the most.  If these 15,000 people join in, he will have a real army of 100,000 on hand. Although the civilians who joined in and the surrendered soldiers who were included after capturing the three prefectures of Nankang, Jiujiang, and Anqing are also among them, these are also  Man, it can still be effective when fighting a war.  It's useless to say anything now. All the escape routes behind him have been cut off. According to the news that came in the morning, Wang Shouren sent people to capture Nankang and Jiujiang. This means that the road back to Jiangxi is completely blocked. Now he only has one thought.  The road to Nanjing was captured.  Zhu Chenhao¡¯s flagship was in the middle of the fleet, and was guarded by iron-headed ships on the left and right. Standing on the deck and watching the thousands of sails racing across the clear water and blue sky in front of him, Zhu Chenhao¡¯s worries were lessened.  While squinting his eyes to appreciate it, he heard the thumping of footsteps behind him, and the voice of military advisor Liu Yangzheng came: "Your Majesty, great things, great things, news from Nanjing has arrived." Zhu Chenhao turned around with great joy and saw Liu Yangzheng holding a card in his hand  The parchment was naturally a message sent by a carrier pigeon to the inner city of Nanjing.  Zhu Chenhao snatched it with his hand and looked at it quickly, a smile appeared on his handsome cheeks.  "Hahaha, we came at the right time. Feng Xiaoyi and the others learned about Song Nan's interception plan. I was originally worried that Song Nan would be disadvantageous to me if he arrived in Nanjing City early, but now that we have learned about his plan in advance, now  I can let Song Nan taste the feeling of defeat and death. Doesn't he claim to be the Ming Army God? After he, the Ming Army God, is defeated, captured and beheaded by me, let's see who in the court dares to challenge us.  "Liu Yangzheng smiled and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. With the opponent's battle plan, we can get twice the result with half the effort. By the way, Song Nan's plan is really vicious. If we hadn't known about it in advance, we might have eaten it.  Big loss. The visibility is unclear at night. If he really uses a fire boat to sneak into the fleet, although we will definitely win, the loss will not be small." Zhu Chenhao nodded and said: "It's a pity that such a good plan was defeated by us.  Got it, Yangzheng, how do you think we should respond? "Liu Yangzheng said: "It's not difficult to deal with it. Just arrange warships for defense near the river bank and send ten iron-headed boats to wait for their boats to be dispatched.  Immediately drive up and crush them. Iron-headed ships are fire-resistant, so what if they light a fire? They will only damage a few of our warships, but we ruined his entire plan." Zhu Chenhao laughed and said, "Yes, except for that.  To sink them, you can also use the Folang machine cannon on the iron-headed ship to overturn them. I can't wait to see this scene. Song Nan will be so angry that he will vomit blood when he sees this scene. "Liu Yangzheng laughed and said: "Fight them off.  During his ambush and fire attack, we sent heavy artillery boats to gather at the mouth of the river. A few rounds of bombardment can knock down the obstacles and fortifications blocking the river mouth. By then, nothing can stop our army from entering Nanjing.  Thousands of soldiers and horses started to make a fuss in the city again. Our nearly 90,000 soldiers and horses rushed into the city. Before dawn, Nanjing City would be the capital of the emperor. "Zhu Chenhao smiled, his body trembled, and he waved his hand and ordered: "  Go and write back to Feng Xiaoyi, saying that we must arrive at the mouth of the river in the dark. As soon as the army breaks through the mouth of the river, they will start an uprising in the city, so that we can enter the city smoothly and land ashore. " Liu Yangzheng nodded in agreement, lifted up his robe and left.  , Zhu Chenhao shouted again: "Add one more sentence, after taking Nanjing, Feng Xiaoyi and the three of them will be promoted to the rank of general immediately, asking them to work for me wholeheartedly." Liu Yangzheng hurried back to the warehouse, and after a while  Three homing pigeons flew into the sky and flew straight downstream. At the same time, the flag on the flagship changed, and all the ships' side sails became full sails taking advantage of the wind. The fleet accelerated, like moths flying toward a blazing fire.  He ran downstream quickly without hesitation.  ¡­ The sun slowly set from the horizon, and the moment the golden afterglow disappeared, the sky and earth were shrouded in light blue dusk, and the surrounding fields instantly became desolate.  This is the cold spring time in February. After the sun sets, there is a chilly feeling in the air.  Meizizhou lies quietly in the river, like a huge fish. Its arched back splits the river in half, changing the river flow into two channels, the north and the south.  The width of the Yangtze River here was originally nearly five miles wide, but MeiziThe width of the river is more than two miles, which results in the width of the rivers on both sides being less than one mile. Although it still looks very wide, it has lost much of the power of the surging river.  In fact, this is exactly what Song Nan wants to see. By choosing this place, he can take advantage of the diversion effect of Meizi Island to divide the river into two narrow areas. In this case, both General Zhankou and Mrs. Song's rocket launchers will be within range.  Guilty.  There is no light on the dark river surface, only the roaring sound of water. The dead Meizi Island is also dark, but under the cover of darkness, nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses are opening their eyes wide.  Staring at the river, if these eyes could shine like stars, you would find that Meizi Island is full of twinkling stars.  At the beginning of the watch, there was a faint firelight shining on the river ahead. This shocked Song Nan who was hiding behind the big rocks. After a while, several warships rushed over with their sails as fast as arrows.  , Ma Ming whispered: "Here it comes." Song Nan shouted: "Don't act rashly, this is the outpost. Once an abnormality is discovered, the ships behind will turn around and leave." Sure enough, several ships came to the island where the water surface eased.  The speed slowly slowed down, and someone on the boat held up a wind lantern and looked around. Although they were dozens of steps away, the body movements of the rebels on the boat were vaguely discernible.  The rebel soldiers were spying on Meizi Island across the river, and even had the intention of getting off the boat and checking out Jiangxin Island.  Song Nan's heart was in his throat. Zhu Chenhao was really very cautious. Whenever he encountered something like Jiangxin Island, he would probably have to be cautious for fear of someone ambushing him on the island.  But soon, the rebels on the boat were blocked by the reefs in the waters in front of Meizi Island. Because they were facing the upstream river, all the mud in front of Meizi Island had been washed away. There were dense reefs and rocks. This was not a ship.  Great place to dock.  It seems that the rebels on the boat were heard cursing a few words, and someone threw a torch from the boat to the shore of Zhoutou with a roar. The torch drew an arc in the air and landed in a clump of trees. Soon after, it lit a fire.  Clumps of weeds.  "Not good." Ma Ming shouted in a low voice.  "What?" Song Nan asked with a frown.  "Where are the soldiers lurking? This fire is probably going to burn people. If they jump up after being burned, it will be over." Song Nan was shocked. He raised his eyes and looked at the bank of Zhoutou River under the rock. The wild grass was burning.  It was very violent, but the trees and grass here were all growing together in lumps, so it was impossible for them to spread. However, if there were really people hiding in the grass, they would inevitably be discovered by the rebels in the river, screaming and rolling.  However, none of what they were worried about happened. The soldiers on the rebel warships on the river stayed for a while, waiting for the burning of the withered grass to extinguish themselves. Then they turned the bow of the boat and paddled hard against the current. They must have thought that there was nothing unusual.  Back to the river to signal.  After the enemy ship left, there was a noise from the fire place below. Ma Ming looked down and shouted: "What's going on?" "Admiral Ma, brother Qiu Duoyun was burned." "Ah?" Ma Ming said in surprise:  "Is there really anyone there?" Song Nan jumped off the rock and walked down the slope until he came to the place where the fire broke out. He saw a soldier lying on the ground with his eyes closed. The soldiers around him were using river mud to paste on his legs.  The soldier's upper body was intact, but his two legs were burnt black, giving off a burning smell, and he was already unconscious.  The surrounding soldiers reported the situation to Song Nan. The rebels' torches ignited the grass, and the fire burned Qiu Duoyun's legs. Everyone thought he would roll over and scream, but they didn't expect Qiu Duoyun to remain silent.  He bit a branch to hold back.  The flames burned his legs, but he remained motionless in order to prevent the rebels from discovering the ambush.  Song Nan knelt down on one knee, looked at Qiu Duoyun's closed eyes, and personally took a water bag to feed him water. He took several mouthfuls of water into his stomach. Qiu Duoyun woke up and struggled to see Song Nan.  Song Nan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't move, I'm afraid your legs are useless. You are very good." Qiu Duoyun didn't dare to look at his legs, gritting his teeth and tears welling up in his eyes.  Song Nan said: "Don't worry about your future. From today on, your Qiu Duoyun's rest of your life will be taken care of by our Song Mansion. Your family and parents will also be supported by the Zhenguo Mansion. In addition, when you are better, I will order someone to  I will make a rolling wheelchair for you, and someone will push you around. In addition, your military position will be promoted and retained; Ma Ming, after returning, he will be promoted to an internal affairs position in the Shenshu Camp and enjoy the treatment of a thousand households." Ma Ming said: "A humble position.  "I understand." Qiu Duoyun's eyes filled with excitement and he thanked her repeatedly. Song Nan said: "I should thank you. If you hadn't taken the overall situation into consideration, our ambush tonight might have failed. You deserve all this. I still feel far away."  It's not enough. Let's have someone carry you to a safe place first, and we'll discuss this later. Don't worry, your legs won't be burned in vain. Just wait and see, the rebels will have a harder time than you tonight.?? times.  "
