Chapter 697

When the north was still in great chaos, it was the day when Liu Bu officially entered Nanjing.

After invading Nanjing, he always believed that there would be fierce street fighting or removing these remnants would cause him great trouble.

However, when they sent Qian Qianyi, Situ Yi and others to recruit surrender, they quickly achieved great success.

After obtaining the guarantee of life and property, most officers and soldiers felt that it was impossible to do anything, so they put down their weapons and no longer resisted.

After all, they have always been people who work hard for others, just slaves. If they change their masters, no matter who they are, they will eventually be burdened with labor service and taxes.

What made the soldiers even more indifferent was that all the officials surrendered. What is the point of these ordinary soldiers insisting on resisting? Is Qian Qianyi's reputation worthless, let alone others?

With Situ Yi and others persuading, most of them put down their weapons and surrendered to the Liu family army.

The Liu family army has a good reputation, and they have never had a history of massacre of prisoners. They can basically say that they can do it, which makes these soldiers not fight to the death. Most of them think that since things cannot be done, they put down their weapons and surrendered home.

After taking over the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Liu Bu and his army began to take over major departments, as well as these famous and noble mansions, such as the Duke of Xu.

The Duke Xu's Mansion is a magnificent building in Nanjing after the Nanjing Imperial Palace. Several generations of Duke Xu have lived here. After their operations, their scale and scope are no longer comparable to that of the imperial palace.

Duke Xu died on the spot, and his servants and relatives also followed him to the battlefield, and most of them died in battle.

When the news came, Duke Xu's son decided to burn himself to death and sacrifice himself for his country, but he was a little hesitant and undecided, so he committed suicide. He also had to consider bathing, changing clothes, worshiping ancestors, and tossing about these things.

As a result, the advance troops of the Liu family army quickly assaulted and attacked here, controlling this magnificent building.

All the property in Xu Guogong's Mansion and its mansion fell into the hands of Liu Jun.

Liu Bu announced on the spot that he would give this majestic Duke's mansion to his father-in-law Zheng Zhibao as his residence.

Zheng Zhibao paid a great price. He claimed to be a hero and loyal and righteous, and created the rebellion of the Zheng family, seized the military power of the Zheng family, and imprisoned his brother and younger brother. This was a very embarrassing thing for him and was a big fame.

Fortunately, this incident was completed smoothly and could be regarded as a coup without any blood. After completing this coup, they all successfully controlled the Zheng family's huge fleet.

Now the Zheng family's huge fleet has been officially incorporated into the Liu family's navy and become a member of them.

This can be said to have solved a great hidden worry for Liu Bu and greatly enhanced his strength. Liu Bu has always coveted the Zheng family's huge fleet. This fleet is a fleet that can confront the Dutch and Portuguese in the East. To build this fleet, even if there is enough money and food, it will take decades.

Even though Liu Bu had so much money and funds, he did not have so many familiar sailors and officers. It can be said that the Zheng family was incorporated into their Liu family, but their steps were quickly improved. It can be said that in terms of naval construction, they shortened the time for at least ten to twenty years.

Liu Bu always sighed that the era of the world has begun, and countries around the world are sharing the dividends brought by the era of the world. Some small countries have become the world's top powers, and cross-regional maritime empires have emerged.

Even in the next five hundred years, the major countries and the most powerful countries in the world were basically maritime countries. However, the Eastern China, as a great ancient country, shrank its troops during the voyage, sealed off its pass, and stood firm, and became a second-class country, which was bullied.

When Liu Bu was free, he was also considering his future layout.

As a commander-in-chief of the army, he naturally took three steps. When they were still attacking Nanjing, he had to consider the arrangements around him after he took Nanjing. He even thought further, that is, how to use this powerful army to gain more benefits for the Liu family or the Chinese nation.

Anyway, there is one thing that he cannot let this fleet disappear into history.

Instead, let them play an active role and make China a world-class marine empire.

So Liu Bu established a department, which was called the Navy Department, which was of the same level as the Army Department led by him. In the Ming Dynasty, the Navy was only an affiliated subordinate to the Land Division, but here it was an independent military branch. Giving the Duke of Xu to Zheng Zhibao was also the greatest courtesy to him.

After Liu Bu captured Nanjing, he had a lot of official duties and was so busy that he could not be busy.

Even though the Liu family army had the experience of capturing large cities many times, such as Jinan, Linqing, Yangzhou, etc., these were large cities, after capturing Nanjing, they still encountered various problems, and many problems were required to be decided by him, Liu Bu, and his subordinates could not handle them.

Nanjing City is different from other cities. Even if the total economic output of some cities is comparable to that of them, such as Linqing and Yangzhou, its population and economic output are no worse than that of them, it does have a status beyond these cities, that is, it has the aura of domineering power and also has an imperial palace.

If we have to use the words of later generations, its status is equivalent to that of Shanghai.

After taking down such a major city, there were many affairs that needed to be handled. Liu Jun had very strong military strength, and there were a large number of elite soldiers and generals who could manage the local area for them and handle administrative affairs. Liu Bu had no choice in appointing Qian Qianyi. If he had enough personnel to manage the city for him, he would not use a backboneless literati like Qian Qianyi.

It is okay for Liu Bu to lead troops to fight. If they were allowed to govern the world, it would be a bit blind. Most people could barely read and read. For example, the one under his command pretended to be stubborn all day long, claiming to be 500 years ago and 500 years later, Song Xiance was actually just a Taoist of Youfang. Compared with those officials with rich governance experience, it is far different.

After Liu Bu controlled the city, he immediately ordered Qian Qianyi to serve as the Nanjing pacification envoy, and he came forward to appease the local people and officials. He himself posted notices on the people's reunion and ordered military disciplines to begin preparing for post-war recovery.

Liu Bu was very excited to take down this huge city, and he also knew what this meant to their Liu family, which meant that they had become a force that could dominate the world.

But he also understood that as a minister of the Zhu family, he created the Zhu family's rebellion and robbed his country, and many officials and the people were dissatisfied with it. Most people in this era still believed in and paid more attention to it. This is loyalty and righteousness. Once a person has no loyalty and righteousness, there will be nothing and no bottom line.

There are many people who are willing to join their Liu family, and there will be many who oppose them. He believes that as time goes by, more people will oppose them, so he cleaned and appeased the place before entering the city. However, he also knew that this practice was temporary and was not enough to solve the problems they faced, but he was just taking one step at a time.

Although Liu Bu claims to be Li Shimin, he is not a person like Li Shimin who is both civil and military. He can help the world with his writing and martial arts, and his martial arts can immediately determine the world.

Liu Bu is known as the God of War, but in fact, it is not because he can fight, but because he has the advantage of being foresighted and has the vision that surpasses the people of this era. This is equivalent to having the vision of God, standing on the shoulders of giants, looking down on and crushing others.

This is a bit like the Westerners dealing with Indians. Both sides have similar physical fitness, but in terms of system and construction, it is not the same as the same, so he can beat each other.

The bigger Liu Bu's stall is, the more he understands this, so he also knows that he is not omnipotent, so he is better at hiding his weaknesses. This is to ask if he doesn't understand. Never pretend to understand. For example, after taking Nanjing, he appointed the position of Nanjing as ambassador to Qian Qianyi, a person he hates very much.

Liu Bu knew that as their control expanded, they would face more and more problems. What they had to face was not only military problems. If it were in the past, they could solve all problems with a knife, but now that the territory is large, they can't be as happy as before.

Liu Bu was in the military camp, constantly assigned tasks and made various appointments. Qian Qianyi did not disappoint everyone and served as the pacification envoy. After the aftermath, he brought a large number of local officials. As long as these officials were willing to surrender, Liu Bu would accept them without hesitation.

Of course, he knew that this would definitely bring about a mixed quality of their team. These officials had all kinds of birds, monsters and monsters, and were mixed together, but there was no way. What he had to do now was to do everything possible to stabilize the situation.

This cannot be said that they have weak policies and can be determined by peaceful means. Why do they have to attack one city after another? Referring to Qian Qianyi to let the officials in these places taste the benefits, and officials in other places will follow suit and surrender to the Liu family one after another. Then they can truly do it. The legendary emperor's army is determined by the emperor's command, and no one dares to refuse to follow the letter today.
