Nanming Prefecture:
Unlike Lyuzhou, which had a sparse population but gradually stabilizing public sentiment, the current Jiangnan Capital, with approximately a million residents, was shrouded in dark clouds. In just five or six days, morale had dissipated, and various panics spread throughout the city. If not for the Commander's iron-fisted suppression, there might have already been chaos.
At this moment, in the Government Office's main hall, several generals under the Commander were discussing the upcoming city defense strategies. Alongside them were Academic Commissioner Mu Hongqing and his apprentices, and of course, the Jiangnan Provincial Governor who was just there for show.
In just five days of defensive combat, Jiangnan's most elite naval forces had lost over half of their numbers in the battle to protect Nanming Prefecture—a loss far from insignificant.
At this point, everyone at the meeting had grim expressions, and the atmosphere was as stiff as could be.
