When the army of the community came outside Nanjing, Yang Mang brought dozens of people to come over. When he saw Li Mingxun, he said excitedly: "Your Excellency, I have finally waited for you. It's really a blessing from the Bodhisattva."

Li Mingxun asked: "Yang Mang, how about it in the city?"

Yang Mang said: "Yesterday, there was a white armor of Tartars, saying that the officials and gentry in the city were asked to shave their hair, but the people did not shave, which caused chaos in Nanjing. Many people heard about the slaughter of Yangzhou, and fled with their families. Many people robbed and stirred up trouble in the city. The fake princes of the palace and the shaved relatives were both ignored. After a night of trouble, most of the people ran away in the city. If they didn't shave their hair, they mostly had their hair shaved."

Li Mingxun focused on the key points, so that he could identify loyalty and treacherous. His purpose was to take advantage of Nanjing being in an "anarchical" state and without the protection of the army. Even though the community has always had strict military discipline, once the ban is released, it is difficult to restrain the soldiers who were snatched by the red-eyed soldiers. Now those who are unwilling to shave their hair have already run away. If they plunder the troops, there will be problems, and those who are killed will not be wronged.

"Okay, assign the guide properly and let's go into the city." Li Mingxun immediately ordered.

Yang Mang said: "Yes, come into the city quickly. Those guys with shaved hair in the city heard that the club brigade arrived and wanted to settle the traitors. Many of them ran away, and so were many of them."

After a while, a cannon sounded from the city gate, and then the cannons around Nanjing were loud. Obviously, the troops had arrived at their location. Li Mingxun asked someone to fire three cannons in a row and rushed into Nanjing in the early morning.

The elite Marines and Guards found targets according to the instructions of the guide. When they saw the luxurious houses and the luxurious houses, they knew that they were either nobles or officials and gentry. They kicked the door directly. Seeing that all the male men had shaved their hair, the leader immediately shouted: "This is a shave official and gentry, a traitor, a national sinner, and a quick arrest, and the house is raided according to the laws of the consul!"

"I am the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty..." The leader shouted indignantly, but a soldier smashed his chin with a butt and shouted: "That traitor, don't mess with me, quickly tell me where the silver treasury is. If there is any falsehood, I stab a few blood holes in you with a bayonet!"

"Take him to the truth, let him spare his life if he dares to talk nonsense, and he will kill him if he dares to talk nonsense!"

The chaos in Nanjing city added a little more. There were shouts of men, women, old and weak all over the place. One by one, the men shaved were pulled out of their homes and asked about the location of the Tibetan silver. Those who hesitated were cut by their hands and feet. To be honest, they could only save their lives by taking out the silver. But there were differences. Anyone who served as an official in the court and received the court's salary, grain and rice was the truth, and they were destined to be beheaded. The women in the family, regardless of their wives, concubines and girls, were tied up and taken to the ship.

"Yang Mang, don't participate in the matter here. I'll give you a hundred people and find a ship quickly. All ships that can sail on the Yangtze River will be found. Don't ask about the means. There will definitely be great gains this time!" Li Mingxun ordered.

Yang Mang took the order and left. Zheng Sen watched it carefully, restraining the Zheng army soldiers who also wanted to participate in the looting, and shouted: "Li Mingxun, you are indeed ambitions. You actually took advantage of the national crisis to rob the capital and harm the court. Your crime should be punished!"

Li Mingxun looked at him pulling out half of his sword and smiled: "Your Zheng family army can plunder the people, but I can't rob those powerful and vicious traitors? You Mr. Zheng is really calculating. Come with me and see how my soldiers under my command do things!"

The two of them entered the city from dozens of guards. They saw elite members of the community and armed sailors running back and forth in the streets, kicking them when they met the door. After entering, they grabbed the man and saw that his hair was still there, and shouted: "You are loyal to the people and obedient to the people. You have not shave your hair, but the Tartars are coming soon. You must wait for your hair to change your clothes. If you want to keep your Chinese clothes, you will find a boat to Sijiao Mountain, go to Taiwan, and go to sea to protect your hair!"

However, more often, I saw many officials, gentry and nobles being led to the streets, tortured money, and eventually ended up dying. Zheng Sen was trembling all over his body. He grabbed someone casually and saw that face clearly. It turned out to be a teacher in the Imperial College. Zheng Sen asked: "I am studying in the Imperial College. You teach each other every day with moral articles. Now the Eastern Captain is coming, where is your loyalty? Why do you shave your hair? Why do you shave your hair!"

The man saw Zheng Sen clearly and said, "The situation is over. Zhu Ming is not popular with the people. Why should I bury him for him? Those who know the current affairs are heroes. I advise you to shave your hair early."

"Yes, good birds choose trees to live in. We have been studying hard for decades. We have learned literature and martial arts and made money from the imperial family. Now the Ming Dynasty is corrupt and degenerate, and the Qing Dynasty is at its peak. We should..." Another person said, but when he was halfway through his words, he saw a flash of cold light. Zheng Sen's Japanese sword had already chopped off his head.

Zheng Sen seemed crazy. On the street, he saw the shaving man chopping and yelling, "You are the gentry and nobles, and the country is well-off. Others can surrender, but you cannot surrender. Now you should be shaved, you should be damned......"

Zheng Sen slashed dozens of people in succession, lost all his strength, and the knife rolled up. He was panting and sat on the ground. Li Mingxun said to the soldiers: "Go and do things, be careful!"

"How could this happen? How could this happen? How could the Ming Dynasty feel a little sorry for them...How could this happen? How could this happen..." Zheng Sen sat on the ground and murmured.

Li Mingxun squatted there and said, "Young Master Zheng, you can't stand it anymore. You have not yet seen the shamelessness of the literati."

"What do you want?" Zheng Sen glared.

Li Mingxun said: "Young Master Zheng, Qian Qianyi is still in the city."

Zheng Sen rolled over and looked at the corpses all over the street. He said, "I forgot about this. The city is in chaos. I will evacuate from my mentor as a guard."

Li Mingxun pointed to the Japanese sword full of gaps and said, "Young Master Zheng, I'm afraid that you will use this knife to chop him alive when you see him."

Qian Mansion.

Qian Qianyi, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, sat in the main hall, and Liu Rushi stood beside him and heard the slave report there.

"The Qing army has now occupied Zhenjiang and is coming to Nanjing. The emperor led his army to flee to Wuhu, but he did not expect to be blocked by local gentry. Most of the eight thousand soldiers and horses were damaged. The chief assistant Ma went to Hangzhou. Yesterday, the Qing army envoy came to announce the order to shave his hair. Now most of the noble ministers have already shave their hair. The same is true for Duke Xu and Zhao Boye. However, there are no one in charge of the city.

"Okay, you go." Liu Rushi said lightly and said to Qian Qianyi: "Master, let's pack up quickly and go to Wuhu. As long as the emperor is here, there will be hope for the Ming Dynasty."

The slave, however, took out a letter from his arms and said, "This was sent by Uncle Zhao yesterday afternoon, but the sender was blocked and he just delivered it."

Liu Rushi took the demolition and looked at it, and sneered: "The nobles are really shameless. The dynasty has been kind to him for three hundred years and favored Yourong. Now he is a rebellious person in the midst of the national crisis. Haha, it is really worse than a beast. He dares to invite the master to be the leader of Donglin and the representative of all officials to go out to welcome the Tartars. It is really a fool..."

Liu Rushi said passionately, but saw Qian Qianyi not saying a word, sighing, not daring to look into Liu Rushi's eyes.

"Master, you..." Liu Rushi suddenly changed his face and asked in a daze.

Qian Qianyi closed his eyes, tears overflowed, and said, "Hedong Lord, the Ming Dynasty can be destroyed, but the world cannot be destroyed. If we do not serve the new dynasty, who will inherit the Zhou rituals, who will take care of the scholars in the world..."

Liu Rushi's eyes were crying, and he took a few steps back, and was blocked by the wall. He couldn't believe that this was said from Qian Qianyi. She asked: "I shave my hair yesterday, but I didn't shave it. I am proud that I can have you with you..."

Qian Qianyi said: "The Qing Dynasty has ordered that I will not shave the soldiers but not the civilians, and the generals but not the officials. Naturally, I will not need to shave my hair!"

The last glimmer of hope in Liu Rushi's heart was a trivial matter: "I have always thought you were a true man who stood up and down, and I couldn't imagine..., a beast in a veil!"

Liu Rushi turned around and went out, ran to the garden, and jumped directly into the small lake. Qian Qianyi would let Liu Rushi die, and he rushed to catch her with his servants. Liu Rushi was covered in water and knelt there: "Master, you are a model of Donglin, a master of literary world, and an example of scholars in the world. How can you surrender to the Qing Dynasty? If you surrender, who else can do anything in the world can not surrender? Master, let me die with you and preserve the reputation of the loyalty of the Qian family for several generations."

Qian Qianyi looked at Liu Rushi and heard that she was so sincere. He thought in his heart that he would not please both sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the future. He thought that he would be with the fishy smell and accompany the dogs, sheep and barbarians in the future. He also had a little thought of liberation. He walked to the lake and walked slowly in. Liu Rushi encouraged him: "I wish to live and die with you..."

Stepping into the water, a cool air made Qian Qianyi’s heart clear. He thought of the high-ranking officials and the rich world, and said to himself: “No, I can’t sacrifice my country….. I have a life, which will be more useful to me in China.”

"Why?" Liu Rushi shouted.

Qian Qianyi twisted his head and gritted his teeth and said, "The water is too cold to drain!"

"Ah haha, it's so cold. I'm really dying for the country, but I'm afraid the water is too cold. I'm shaving my hair just because my scalp is itchy!" Li Mingxun's laughter came from the side of the yard, and he brought dozens of soldiers into the yard and controlled Qian Qianyi's mansion.

"Li...Li Mingxun, why are you here!" The last thing Qian Qianyi wanted to see at this time was Li Mingxun, and he screamed in shock.

Li Mingxun smiled and said, "I'm here to see the show. I just want to see how the Minister of Rites Qian Qianyi, who is full of moral articles and looks hypocritical, made a decision. Oh, you didn't shave your hair, but it was beyond my imagination."

"What's the difference between shaving your hair or not? He was already a servant in his heart. He just wanted to represent the traitors in the city and ask the captain to surrender and gain a good future..." Liu Rushi was discouraged and said coldly from the side.

Zheng Sen asked in surprise: "Take it serious?"

Liu Rushi said: "The letters are still in the hall, you can just go and read them yourself."

Qian Qianyi stopped Zheng Sen and said, "This is my business and has nothing to do with you. Naturally, I have an indescribable secret in my heart, and I also have secret strategies that cannot be said. I am absent-minded and lack of experience. I must not understand it. I will leave my mansion quickly. You and I have different opinions. I will only go my own way. There will be public opinions on history and calligraphy, and public opinion of all people!"

Li Mingxun smiled and said, "I can't wait for such a long time and don't care. Qian Qianyi, as a Ming Dynasty and a member of the Han people, you are betrayal of the country and the nation. I declare you a traitor and a national sinner. Throughout the dynasties, ancient and modern times, China and abroad, there is only one way to deal with rebellion, scout your home! Extermination of the clan!"

Qian Qianyi took two steps back and asked in horror: "You...you dare to kill me!"

"Why don't you, a traitor, dare!" Li Mingxun shouted, already in his hand.

Zheng Sen suddenly ran out of the hall and shouted, "Slow down!"

"I will be a teacher for life and a father for one day. Since I am Qian Qianyi's disciple, I cannot sit idly by and kill him!" Zheng Sen blocked Li Mingxun and turned around and asked, "Mr. Qian, come with me. The emperor is still there, and the Ming Dynasty will also have a chance to clean up the country..."

Qian Qianyi wanted to surrender, but now Li Mingxun is on his side, so he refuses to surrender and says, "I have decided, I can't change it!"

"Zheng Sen, the Ming Dynasty is now collapsed, and the Qing Dynasty is only a matter of time. I don't want to recover the mountains and rivers, but now the situation is no longer the same. I have decided to surrender to the captives and endure humiliation. What I want and do is for the Ming Dynasty. For China, how do you know that the Ming Dynasty will restore its country in the future. Everything will be decided." Qian Qianyi said immediately when he saw that Zheng Sen was still insisting.

Zheng Sen smiled and said, "Haha, I don't know if you are sincere or false, but I, Zheng Sen, are blind. I am a good man. I am a teacher. When you gave me the name Damu to me, I will return you completely. From now on, I will be Zheng Sen, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, not Zheng Damu, you Qian Qianyi's disciple. Today, I cut off my robe and have completely cut off my master's status! I will see you again in the future, and I will cut off your head with my own hands!"

After saying that, Zheng Sen waved his knife to block his robe and threw it on the ground.

Lee Mingxun looked at him and shrugged: "You have to cut his head with your own hands, but I can't kill him."

Zheng Sen looked at Li Mingxun and clasped his fists and said, "In the past, Zheng Sen was offended many times, but he was a teacher for life and a father. Zheng Sen couldn't see you kill him today."

Li Mingxun nodded slightly, thinking that Qian Qianyi, a traitor, was killed at this time, and others mistakenly thought that he had selfish intentions. Such a literati would not have much impact on the overall situation in the future. It would be useless to keep it for the Qing Dynasty. Just keep it forever. He said, "Then let this old thief live, but it is not possible to kill people, but you can't let the house be searched. If you come, search the house!"

Soldiers flocked in, smashed walls and demolished houses, and looked for silver. In a moment, the Qian Mansion was in chaos. In half a day, more than 300,000 yuan of wealth was collected, and there were also many precious antiques and cultural relics. I think this was not all Qian Qianyi's wealth, but he could only do this.

Li Mingxun brought out a box from it and placed it in front of Liu Rushi, saying, "Qian Qianyi deserves to die, but you, Hedongjun, are innocent. For the sake of Xiangjun, you will be your dowry. I will clean up the mountains and rivers in the future. If you see you again and Qian Qianyi, you will be treated as a relative of a criminal!"

Liu Rushi looked at Li Mingxun's back as he left, and said, "I used to laugh, Rushi's husband, Wenhao, Xiangjun served the barbarians. Now it seems that I was wrong..."

Starting from May 10th, the looting lasted until the evening of the 13th. The scouts sent out reported that the Qing army had come to Nanjing. There were more than 20,000 people in Li Chengdong's green camp vanguard alone. Li Mingxun immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops and loaded all the money and goods obtained from the raid onto the ship. The freight sand ship and the large ship seized were all filled with more than 70 valuables, and most of the valuables such as gold and silver were loaded on the notice ship.

On May 15, Duoduo arrived and saw the civil officials and Xunqi who knelt on the ground to surrender outside Hongwu Gate. Seeing his bright heads and slender rat tails, Duoduo, who had already experienced the situation in Nanjing, was angry.
