— J. 0. NANKIN. 203 could collect together, and ordered all available forces to concentrate themselves on the threatened capital. Along the Yang-Tie-Kiang, the functionaries and rich traders were panic-struck; the mandarins prepared for the de- fence of the towns, and the cautious merchants of Sou- Tcheon and Tchen-Kiang, little heeding the defence of their country, fled as fast as they could, taking their wealth with them. In fact, there was a general sauve- quijjetU. In the meanwhile, money a...nd food became scarce ; the price of gold reached an enormous height, and the price of rice was trebled. The rebels, turning the panic to their own advantage, seized all the merchant ships on the river ; and thus, with a formidable fleet and an army of 50, 000 men, the five kings appeared before Nankin. This city, which contains more than 500, 000 inhab- itants, was in the time of the Mings — that ancient dy- nasty which Tien-te professes to represent and wishes to restore — the capital of all China.
