When everyone had no idea, someone gave a pretty good idea, so naturally he was quickly accepted.

Soon batches of messengers were sent out, and at the same time, the city began to recruit men to prepare to defend the city. However, for these noble officials, it was simply instinct to leave a way out for themselves. So at night, Yan Fei received several batches of messengers in his military camp.

They are all here to discuss major events!

"I have received the letter, you can go back." Outside Jinling City, Yan Fei, who was fiddling with the secret letter in his hand, waved his hand and signaled that the messenger who had left the city late at night could leave.

The messenger who failed to get a response was obviously a little stunned, and then he said unwillingly, "Grandmaster, my master thought that the court was forced by the rebels and had to follow the thief. My master can help open the city gate for the imperial army!"

"I said I understand." Yan Fei's face darkened. "You still need to teach me how I want to do things?"

After the messenger left, Yan Fei casually put the secret letter in the wooden box next to him. At this time, there were at least ten secret letters from different people in the wooden box.

"I just want to rebel?" Yan Fei checked the letters in the wooden box and looked at Ni Yuanlu with a calm expression on the side, and smiled and joked, "Apart from Ma Shiying, all the important officials here have sent secret letters. Do you think I would have told the people in the city about this matter, what would they react?"

"They are all a group of shameless people!" Ni Yuanlu was full of lament at this moment. What happened to the originally noble scholars? She first rebelled against the court. No matter what the purpose was, if the rebellion could be fought to the end, she might be praised for sticking to her original intention. But before the army could attack the city, she had already sent out the surrender books. Even the last little integrity was not there!

"Yes, they are all shameless people." Yan Fei picked up a cigarette and bit it in his mouth, then lit the cigarette with a lighter. Then he lit a surrender letter with a lighter and threw the burning letter into the wooden box.

Seeing the flames devour the surrender letters, Ni Yuanlu couldn't help but say, "Grandmaster, although these people's crimes are unforgivable, if they can help, they can avoid the devastation of the people in Jinling City."

"These people are all scum." Yan Fei signaled Wang Dehua, who was beside him, to take out the wooden box and throw it away, then looked at Ni Yuanlu and explained, "The result of staying can only be a disaster. I don't want to be trapped in endless conspiracies and various troubles. So I like to solve the problem in the simplest way."

Yan Fei had not finished speaking, but Ni Yuanlu could understand what Yan Fei said. No matter who participated in the rebellion this time, it would be a lot of danger.

Among the people who sent the letters were Qian Qianyi, Ruan Dacheng, Xu Wenjue, Li Hongji, Tang Guozuo and others. Apart from Ma Shiying, he could be said to have captured all the core personnel of this rebellion.

Even if you don’t have to read the letter, Yan Fei can know what these people are saying. It’s nothing more than complaining that you are forced to be coerced and want to do so anyway. And although they all say that you can be an insider, they have not set a time or a detailed plan. It is obvious that they are planning to look at the situation and then make plans.

If Yan Fei's siege goes smoothly, these people will definitely choose to surrender and open the city soon. If Yan Fei's siege doesn't siege goes smoothly, they will continue to refuse. This is just leaving a way out for themselves.

These people are surrenderists in the history of the modern world, especially Qian Qianyi, who is too cold and has itchy scalp.

Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, surrendered directly when the Qing army arrived. His concubine Liu Rushi hoped that he would die in the country and even expressed his willingness to jump into the water with him to die. However, Qian Qianyi, a famous talented man who once said something loud, said that the water was too cold, let's forget it.

Liu Rushi was disgraced and angry, sad that he had picked the wrong man and dived by himself, and was rescued by someone.

Later, the Qing Dynasty ordered that the hair should be kept without hair, and that the hair should not be left. Qian Qianyi stood up and said that his scalp was itchy and he shaved his hair. His integrity and bad character were definitely the best traitors in the thousand-year history books of China.

How could Yan Fei leave his dog's life to continue to waste food when he is so poor that he is even a woman?

Ruan Dacheng was also a traitor. In history, he surrendered to the Qing soldiers and followed the Qing soldiers to wipe out the resistance forces from all over the country. Later, he died of illness on the journey of following the Qing soldiers as a slave.

As for Duke of Wei, Duke Xu Wenjue, Duke of Linhuai Li Hongji, Duke of Lingbi Tang Guozuo and others, these nobles who had been with the country and enjoyed hundreds of years of glory, wealth and privilege should have been buried with the Ming Dynasty, so that they could be worthy of the offerings enjoyed by their family.

Just like the last Duke of Qian, Mu Tianbo, followed the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Yongli, into Myanmar. Finally, when the water curses, he seized the sword and escorted the emperor and killed nine Burmese soldiers in a row until he died in the chaos of Burmese swords. Mu Tianbo was Wei Xiaobao's father-in-law. This was the real loyal minister who was in the same kinship as the country and sacrificed his life to his country.

Xu Wenjue and the others knelt down and surrendered when the Qing soldiers came, and they rushed to the forefront when shaving their heads. They really lost all the face of their ancestors.

In Yan Fei's view, these people were completely wasteful food, and they could never let them go and let the evil survive while kindness was ruthlessly suppressed.

Compared with these surrendered elements, the only core member of the rebellion group who did not send letters to Yan Fei to surrender was Ma Shiying, who had been despised as a treacherous minister by many scholars, insisted on resisting the Qing army in history, and refused to surrender until he was defeated and captured, and was eventually beheaded and sacrificed his country.

Yan Fei discovered a very interesting phenomenon, that is, many people praised by scholars are generally bad guys. However, many of the people who are despised as treacherous ministers by scholars have fulfilled their responsibilities.

In the eyes of many people in Jinling City, Jinling City, which has an extremely powerful city wall defense system, is definitely solid. This is a solid city defense fortification built by Zhu Yuanzhang for thirty years and used nearly 300,000 civilians.

The Qinhuai River is the natural moat in the south of the city, the Zhongshan is the support in the east of the city, the famous Xuanwu Lake is the barrier in the north of the city, and the Zijin Mountain is directly against the west of the city. The inner wall alone is more than 35 kilometers long, while the outer wall of the outer wall is more than 60 kilometers long. This is the real world's best.

The walls of Jinling City are high and firm in the sea, built on the ridges of the ridges and surrounded by mountains and rivers. They are an outstanding representative of capital construction and a masterpiece of ancient military defense facilities and city wall construction technology.

During the Sino-Japanese War in modern world history, the walls of Jinling City were so strong that they could not even chew on the Japanese artillery. However, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, this wall did not play its due meaning at all. Instead, it directly chose to surrender when the Qing soldiers came!

If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, he would probably be able to eat it raw underground.

With such a powerful city wall protection, coupled with tens of thousands of defenders who have been guarding here for many years and a temporary civilian Ding Zhuang, who has more than 100,000 people, has been over the initial panic, most people think that the defensive power here is still believed, and at least there will be no problem with sticking to it for a while.

Although Qian Qianyi and others sent a surrender letter to Yan Fei and left a way out for themselves, they still hoped to win. They were all hoping to hold Yan Fei under the city of Jinling, eagerly waiting for Zuo Liangyu and others to return to the rescue and eat Yan Fei's troops in one bite!

King Fu was so angry that he cursed when he learned that Yan Fei had only had more than 30,000 troops ashore. There were as many as 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers in Jinling City, and more than 100,000 strong men were besieged in the city by only 30,000 people. He was so embarrassed.

This Fu Wang was a good person. In his mind, war was still at the stage of comparing the number of people. It seemed that there was no need to look at training, equipment, morale, organization, logistics and other reasons. As long as we look at who has more people, we can win.

Yan Fei brought hundreds of ships this time, but because of the limited loading capacity of ships in this era, although there were a lot of ships, the number of troops coming with the fleet was only a little over 30,000.

More than 30,000 people are not a big number in this era. For example, Zuo Liangyu is known as an army of 800,000. However, Yan Fei's 30,000 people are all troops that have received strict training in the modern system. They are equipped with advanced firearms that transcend the era and have strong logistical supply capabilities. It is not a problem to conquer Jinling City simply by relying on 30,000 people.

However, Yan Fei wanted more than this city.

If he wants to pacify the entire Jiangnan, there will definitely be no enough troops if there are fewer troops. The fleet will return after putting down its personnel and supplies. Under the escort of five ocean-going fishing ships, it will return to Tianjin Security again for the second round of transportation. There will even be a third round.

Jiangnan has a large population and is known as the hometown of fish and rice, and there are too many scholars to support. This place will inevitably be the most intense place to resist Yan Fei.

Because Yan Fei wanted to force the land to be re-divided and popularized education to cut off the privileges and wealth paths of scholars. Cutting off the wealth paths of people is like killing parents. Yan Fei is going to kill their whole family, of course they have to try their best to fight Yan Fei.

In the words of the modern world, both sides are irreconcilable class contradictions. Only one of them can be completely defeated and eliminated.

Yan Fei expects to have at least 100,000 troops to barely suppress the Jiangnan region, and to cooperate with various means to use it. For example, those who have already been on the list of death must be used first to be pioneers of the road, and then wait until the value of the use is exhausted before they can die.

Anyway, these people kneeled faster than anyone else when facing the Qing Dynasty swords and guns, so he didn't believe how tenacious they would be when facing themselves.

One hundred thousand soldiers were already the greatest force Yan Fei had ever used. Even when he was expeditioning to Japan, there were only 20,000 people. Yan Fei never thought that he would start to attack the city after the follow-up soldiers arrived. He decided early to take down Jinling City as soon as possible.

During the day, Yan Fei sent troops to block the gates of Jinling City. Unless they hanged them from the secret passage or hanging baskets from the city wall, the people in the city would have to hit Yan Fei's gun directly if they wanted to come out.

Yan Fei only placed more than a thousand musketeers at each city gate, and he was not worried that the army inside would have the courage to rush out. Because he knew very well that what he was facing was not a strong army in the world, but a mob with no military spirit.

Sun Tzu's Art of War says that knowing oneself and one's enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Yan Fei has a complete understanding of all the troops of this era, even better than them.
