"The people are all closed, and those who dare to go out will be killed!"

"Jiangning has become Nanjing, and the Han family can be restored to their clothes!"

"The Taiping Army of the Ming Dynasty is strict and does not violate the people. Everyone is at peace with their own affairs. Don't panic!"

""

On Pingshi Street, more than a dozen yamen runners of Jiangning Mansion were timidly under the custody of several Taiping soldiers, shouting along the street, and pasting white paper with the word Shun written on the door walls with red circles. If the word Shun is obtained, there will be soldiers entering the house to check the house later. However, compared with the chaos during the day, these soldiers entering the house are not extremely vicious. They only check the number of people in routine. If they do not mistakes, they will withdraw and there will be no blackmail or robbery.

A brave man lie on the wall to peek, and found that the Taiping Army walking along the street saw beggars and widows on the street. He did not go forward to kill them, but grabbed a handful of copper coins from his arms and threw them on them. He would take out some food on his body and give them some to these homeless people.

From You to Mao, the Taiping Army spent the whole night in the inner city to investigate the remaining soldiers of the Qing army and searched for the Manchu and Han bannermen. They drew red circles and posted the word Shun only to avoid implicating innocent Han people. In the process of eliminating the remaining enemies, except for the Manchu and Han bannermen and a few civilians who were killed by the people who were killed by the people, the Taiping Army directly killed not many people in Nanjing. However, the Taiping Army did not kill people, but there were many officials, gentry, family members, scholars, and people in the city who were loyal to the Qing Dynasty chose to commit suicide for the Qing Dynasty.

Bloody suicide notes were written on them, which was much more miserable than the arrival of the Qing army in the 16th year. Mo Hu was worried about that there were more than a dozen literati who died for the Qing Dynasty, including many who had won fame and honor in the Ming Dynasty. Some of them were banished by Manchus, who led the whole family to hang their elders and children on the beams. The wife refused to die with her children, so she strangled them to death, just to be the master slaves in the next life.

After dawn, Zhou Shixiang issued an order to concentrate on capturing and killing bannermen in the inner city. Those who were captured and killed were rewarded with 5 taels of silver. The brave Han people in the inner city rose up to search for bannermen and hunted them. Many wealthy families had servants going out to report secretly, and their masters secretly hid bannermen and officials in the mansion. So a new round of searches began. In one day, dozens of families were confiscated and destroyed. More than 900 bannermen were found, and more than 1,000 Qing soldiers were found, all of whom were killed. Then they were scattered and killed in the city to teach them a lesson. This move made the gentry who colluded with the Qing Dynasty no longer dared to hide the Manchu and Han bannermen. Instead, they took the slaves to beat the formerly flattering people, either drove them out of the mansion, or directly tied up and sent them to the Taiping Army. However, the Taiping Army had only one requirement for these gentry, and everyone was killed by them. This was called the gentry and the killing of the Tartars, and everyone was bloody.

The Jiangning Weaving Bureau was established during the Ming Dynasty and was responsible for purchasing the required fabrics for the court. It was always the head of the Weaving Eunuch, the Neijing Admiral. In the Hongguang period, Nanjing fell, and the Jiangning Weaving Bureau was owned by the Qing court. It was the head of the Ministry of Revenue for ten years before Shunzhi, but then the Thirteenth Court of the Neijing sent people to Jiangning to take care of it every year.

The eunuch sent to Jiangning this year was Hu Wenqing. This man was once a junior supervisor in the Chongzhen period, but he was sent to Fengyang Imperial Tomb to guard the tomb because he offended the Dacang Wang Chengen. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army invaded Beijing. In the past, Hu Wenqing's good friend Wu Liangfu got the credit of the little emperor and brought him back to Beijing from Fengyang. In the 19th year of Shunzhi, Wu Liangfu made a suggestion to the emperor to reopen the thirteenth yamen in the inner court, and Hu Wenqing became the first Shangyi Supervisor of the Qing Dynasty.

At the beginning of this year, because he felt that Jiangning had a lot of oil and water, Hu Wenqing specially asked his friend Wu Liangfu to help him and came to Jiangning to serve as a weaving eunuch for one year. Unexpectedly, he encountered a siege of pirates in less than half a year, and almost scared Hu Wenqing's soul away. As a result, he had just escaped from the disaster and was still in a state of horror. Nanjing actually called the Ming army to destroy it without warning!

There was a chaotic outside. I heard that the Governor and the others called the Ming army to take it all in one fell swoop. The outer city and inner city were all under the hands of the Ming army. At present, the Ming army was hunting and killing Qing soldiers. Hu Wenqing knew that things were not possible, so the people from the weaving bureau also ran away. He sat there alone in the empty yamen, looking very lonely.

After a long time, when Hu Wenqing heard the sound of killing and footsteps outside, he shivered slightly, picked up a porcelain bottle on the table and opened the seal, and poured it into his mouth with a "gulp" sound.

"If you don't die from a thief, you will die from the law!"

Jiangning Righteous Governor Ma Guorong decided to leave a suicide note and committed suicide to his country. Unfortunately, he was an official for too long and was written by his staff for many years. His eight-legged essay skills have greatly reduced. Half an hour had not written a few lines of suicide note, and the Taiping Army had already arrived.

Ma Guorong hurriedly sent his old servant to take the suicide note out of the city and try to send it back to the capital, so that he would be extremely mournful after his death. However, the old servant just stepped out and returned to the back, saying that there were soldiers outside and they could not get out at all.

Ma Guorong felt desperate. He thought about it, took the suicide note back from the old servant, hid it closely, and sent the old servant to let him find his own way. Later, he walked to the back hall and found a piece of golden cake obtained from the bribe, gritted his teeth and swallowed it.

It was said that the gold swallower died, but what caught Ma Guorong off guard was that after Jinbing fell from her throat, he was not only feeling uncomfortable in her stomach, but he rolled all over the ground, but he didn't die. He endured the pain, staggered onto the table, tied several feet of white silk to the beam of the house, and raised his neck on tiptoe to cover himself. But it seemed that the white silk was tied a little high, so he could not put the white silk over his chin and put it around his neck.

Ma Guorong is anxious. Can you even die if you want to die?

Enduring the pain in his stomach, he slowly climbed down from the table, trying to find a brocade stool to take it to cushion the foot, but as soon as the stool was brought to his hand, the door was kicked open, and more than a dozen Ming soldiers with guns and spears rushed in.

"The head of the country, he is a high-ranking official!"

Seeing that Ma Guorong was a third-rank official in the Qing court, a Taiping soldier from the former Green Camp rushed towards Ma Guorong.

"Dog thief!"

Ma Guorong was furious and wanted to smash the brocade bench in his hand at the soldier. However, he felt a huge pain in his stomach. He couldn't help but shout and threw the brocade bench away, holding his stomach and rolling on the ground.

Seeing this, the Taiping Army General Banner immediately understood that the Qing Dynasty officials were probably taking some poison, and wanted him to wait for death here, but a soldier muttered, could he swallow the gold?

Hearing this, the general flag's eyes lit up. He lifted his sword and stepped on Ma Guorong, and ordered his subordinates to hold him down so that he could not move. With one knife, the smell of blood rushed towards his nose, causing Ma Guorong to die and could not move. He moaned quietly.

After stirring with the knife for a while, the general flag felt that there was a hard object at the tip of the knife, and he didn't feel disgusted. He reached out to touch it and found a golden cake. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He shouted and took his subordinates away, leaving only the third-rank Qing Dynasty governor Ma Guorong, who was unwilling to wait for death.

Author's note: The 13th Inner Court Office established in Shunzhi year was abolished in the first year of Kangxi, and the Jiangning Weaving Bureau was replaced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be managed by the first department of Jiangning Weaving. The first Jiangning Weaving Doctor was Cao Xuejiang's father Cao Xi. (To be continued.)
