On New Year’s Eve, there were no sounds of firecrackers, no festive atmosphere at all, only people’s hearts were trembling with fear.
Ever since the emperor arrived in Nanjing yesterday afternoon, there has been a lot of commotion in Nanjing. All night long, there was noise in the streets, and one could hear the army going out into the streets to arrest people, which lasted almost until dawn.
When they woke up the next day, many people were worried, not knowing what happened last night and what would happen today.
The Nanjing garrison troops numbered approximately 100,000 men. Just after daybreak, they received an order to assemble on the parade ground.
Fortunately, there was no snow last night, so there was not much snow on the ground. The soldiers on duty cleaned up the parade ground first, and the army was able to assemble quickly.
