Chapter 512: Arrival
"Look, the clipper is back!"
As they approached Middle-earth, the European students on board became more active, and all kinds of ships went back and forth along the way, especially the full load of goods and various utensils, which made them breathtaking.
After entering the Bohai Bay, it has changed, compared with the dilemma of the Bohai Bay being fully exploited in later generations, the current marine policy implemented by the Presbyterian Council is still to encourage fishing, but it has begun to put resources on coastal aquaculture.
You know, in the later generations of China's economic rise, and the people still believe in the rumors of what sea fish nutrition, as a result, all the fish in the five oceans suffered, I don't know how many sea fish were eaten by the Chinese.
Of course, for the young people who have just arrived in Tianjin, everything is so new.
They will soon land from Tianjin Wei and then to the university of the imperial capital in search of the power of civilization.
On the other hand, the offensive against Jiangnan began to unfold in a strange atmosphere.
Whether it is the Council of Elders who have long known the historical context, or many Ming locals, after the offensive against Jiangnan, as everyone expected, although Jiangnan is a very rich place, but precisely because this area is too rich, on the contrary, the combat effectiveness of the officers and troops in this area is very weak, thousands of households are rich one by one, but the soldiers are poor jingling, such an army can not even beat the Great Western Army, how dare to fight to the end with the Elders, it is really strange.
From God's point of view, from the sky, the Council of Elders does not care about the so-called big cities and famous cities, and does not care about the gains and losses of one city or one place, but puts the weight of calculation on those transportation places that are not important in the first place, but can transport a large number of immigrants.
Therefore, the Jiangnan policy of the Presbyterian Church is to use force so that no one dares to boldly claim the emperor, and no one dares to disturb the "commercial" behavior of the Presbyterian Church.
In any case, you still have to send troops, at least when Datong, Zhang Xianzhong was already very angry, according to the previous habit of the Northwest Righteous Army to fire with each other, it is unlikely to launch a war against the Elders, but the possibility of turning his face still exists, Li Xiangqian played his own banner, and there was almost no effective obstruction in the county along the way, and even some officials listened to the rumors and took the lead in running away, and then caused the gentry and officers and soldiers in the city to flee one after another, and the world was in chaos.
It's just that Li Xiangqian, who was passing by, faced the trembling prefect of Nantong Prefecture and didn't wait for the elders to arrive, so he personally held the big seal in his hand and took the officials in the city out of the city for ten miles to welcome his arrival.
Nantong Prefecture, North Tong Prefecture, North and South Tong Prefecture Tong North and South.
As long as you listen to this place, you will know that this is a trade route for transportation through the north-south canal, and it can be said that it is one of the few strong states in the logistics industry in this era.
However, a variety of factors have led to the fact that the recent days of this Nantong state are not very good.
After constantly hearing about the massacre in the upper reaches, and in the past days, the canal, a water transportation route, became less and less popular, so naturally some people instigated it and took refuge in the imperial capital.
The sound of Nantong's surrender came, and the biggest shock was not the Yangzhou Mansion to which Nantong belonged, but the Suzhou Mansion opposite. Since Li Dingguo gained a firm foothold in Jiangyin, he knew that he could not compete with the Council of Elders on the water, and he knew the shortcomings of the Council of Elders' lack of manpower, but he could develop on land, and the weak chickens in all directions around him were quickly beaten by him and cried for his father, and Changshu was also in pain, and I don't know how many farms outside the city were half blackmailed and half robbed by Li Dingguo, and the losses were serious.
And many Haoqiang pus, when the younger brother was complete, were not Li Dingguo's opponents, were beaten by continuous fat, at this time I saw the legendary Elders' Association enter the game, and at this time it had already become a frightened bird, on the surface it was to slap the chest when the sound, and promised to take the opportunity to extort a sum of money and food, and knocked a bamboo pole hard, as a result, as soon as the ship of the Presbyterian Council appeared in Sanzhangpu by legend, Haoqiang, who originally came to avoid in Changshu City, immediately repeated the old tricks, and came to the soles of his feet to smear oil, and the first to abandon the city and escape, with the remaining less than 3,000 cannon fodder, owed and robbed a lot of things, and fled to the south as soon as he slipped away, and went directly to the Taihu Lake bandits, which can be described as a dustless departure, a thousand miles, the elders will not be able to catch up, and it is too late to chase him if they want to.
The result was that the officials and wealthy households in Changshu City, who had planned to resist stubbornly, saw that several big landlords had slipped away, and their morale plummeted, and finally on the day when the banner of the Presbyterian Church just appeared on the riverside, they pulled out the white flag on the city tower and announced the surrender of Changshu, which made Li Xiangqian stunned at all, he really didn't have a plan to take Changshu, Changshu neither docked nor had any mines, and he didn't need it yet.
In just one month, Li Xiangqian got more than twenty copies of the table, as well as countless gifts, due to the unusual information, these Jiangnan people are generally aware that the elders will not have any interest in money, but what does the dozens of loli that came with it mean, well, it seems that the elders like to adopt children and brainwash them to become diehards, and even they know it.
As long as there is a little action on both sides of the Yangtze River, they will come to take refuge, but Li Xiangqian remembered the demise of the Qing Dynasty, there was too much slaughter, and the foundation was unstable, so after thinking about it carefully, he raised the banner of the imperial capital mediator, and recruited rebels along the way, this speed is a bit too much to call a war, but it is a bit like a tour, such a large place, a team of soldiers and ships came down in a circle, and the officers and soldiers in this area are like dominoes, one after another turned and surrendered to Li Xiangqian.
Barely let the generals of the Council of Elders let go of a shot, and they pulled out the banner of the imperial capital prepared in advance, so at this time, the Ming court had no strength to fight back, let alone the hearts of the people, and they were completely lying down and being beaten.
Sometimes there are just dozens of hooligans babbling, under the banner of the presbyterian council, hundreds of officers and soldiers immediately began to flee, close the city gate and let the hooligans rob, in such a situation, most of the local government is panicked waiting for the elders' meeting to come to the door, and there are almost no loyal officials who have made up their minds to commit suicide, because in the past few years, the loyal people have long known what is going on, and they have gone home, and those who have stayed behind are characters who boast of knowing the times.
Li Xiangqian knew that this was the time to test the strategic determination of himself and others, and if he simply pursued a moment of refreshment, recruited these so-called surrenderers on a large scale, and allowed them to erode into the newly established rulers, and brought those decadent cultures to them, then in the future, it would be completely finished.
Therefore, there is almost no big movement, just asking them to publish something that is not in the middle of the child and not foreign.
It's basically the human rights declaration and the Anmin notice.,These things have actually been quietly spread in Jiangnan.,But they're all very hostile to the Jiangnan government.,Now these governments help sell it.,It feels good.。
Of course, this also clarifies the presbyterian church's statement about the biggest rumor, shaving hair.
Under the rule of the Council of Elders, if you are not a soldier who eats food, then it is your own freedom to choose what hairstyle you choose, and as for the custom of service, you will be respected.
However, the Presbyterian Church also has the power to disseminate knowledge and truth, and according to the principle of bacteriology, the presence of dirt and dirt in the hair and the breeding of bacteria are a major culprit of the early death of human beings.
As long as a lot of people put their minds on bacteriology, know how to wash their hands before and after meals, and then start buying soap sold in the imperial capital, then the Confucianism thing will slowly be finished.
Although he didn't want to carry this burden, Li Xiangqian also knew that he couldn't give up, but wanted to give benefits, so he announced immediately that as long as he surrendered himself, he would be exempted from agricultural tax for three years!
He also announced on the spot that he would hold a military parade on the seashore north of Nanjing, and at the same time would conduct an artillery drill, and people from all walks of life were welcome to come and cheer on him.
Li Xiangqian didn't bring many people, but fortunately, it was not difficult to find reliable soldiers themselves, as long as they were elite, it was enough to scare people.
The residents of Nanjing City and the people who came to watch the ceremony from all over the city were already crowded outside the city, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of empty alleys in Nanjing City, and even some big girls and little daughters-in-law, women who are not easy to show their heads in this era, there are many women who hide in the carriage and blend into the crowd.
If someone wants to find a place to watch the parade in these places, then without spending a sum of money, I am afraid that it will not be possible to get it at all, and some people on the street have also found business opportunities from it, so they will temporarily lease out their courtyard wall, and after spending a sum of money, you can watch the parade on the wall.
The city walls were even more overcrowded.
And on the riverside, it is also crowded with many small boats, and there is even the flag of Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army in the middle.
Li Xiangqian didn't deliberately prepare a cannon, but the target was still easy to buy, so he casually found a few old ships that had leaked and used them as targets.
There is no need to shout anything, Li Xiangqian's flagship is still very convenient to operate.
A rocket, ready to be launched, flies and falls under the gaze of thousands of people.
There are many kinds of shells in later generations, but they are nothing more than several factions that hurt people with potential energy and chemical raw materials.
The shock wave of the explosion directly pushed up a small sea ship, and it suddenly pushed to the shore, and it fell apart in an instant!
The people above and below the city exclaimed, and the specially added bombshell was launched thousands of kilometers away, but it created a tsunami-like disaster, but fortunately there were no casualties.
Then, not to the end, in a place by the sea, there are many tents, a few long-abandoned huts, a few old horses, some fences and other things, all worthless things anyway.
Rocket after rocket was fired and flew towards here.
"Boom ......"
There was no excessively large shock wave, because it was a terrible napalm.
In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up, and when they closed their eyes, some timid women covered their heads with screams, and when someone was bold enough to open their eyes, there was already a sea of fire.
In particular, an old horse, which is already old and useless, is tied there waiting to die, in order to demonstrate to these people who do not know where the power is, what modern warfare is.
And after the old horse's reins were burned, it was covered with fuel and burned, but it still ran desperately in the direction of its master.
Naturally, it's the direction of the city where everyone is there.
Everyone watched as the burning horse fell to the ground with a sudden cry from the running torch, and then quickly burned into a pile of charcoal.
The process of the horse being burned to death was simply too fast, and a gust of wind blew, but the smell of foul coke blew through the streets of the north of the city, and countless people vomited.
Li Xiangqian stood on the boat and suddenly said: "Let's publicize it, this bomb is called the peacemaker, once it is launched, no one will dare to resist, not a single inch of grass will grow, dare to ask if there is anyone who dares to resist." ”
Not to mention that the up and down in Nanjing City, how anxious they are like ants on a hot pot, they are reluctant to live here, so they hurriedly come over to please the sycophants.
For Zhang Xianzhong, this is not only a threat, but also a soul washing.
The emperor has powerful weapons, which is not difficult to imagine, and the biggest limit he thinks about is only to be more powerful than the cannons of the imperial court and fight farther.
But under such firepower, it is impossible for any camp to fight against a strong force.
Under such a weapon, the city and the fleet are useless, and they can only take advantage of their heavy handling to kill and snatch them halfway, but this is basically a way to treat others as fools, let alone ......
Those observers, who honestly sell their Viagra on weekdays, won't use this thing to beat me in private, no, I have to find a way to prevent them from finding out my location.
Starting with the peacemaker's exercise outside Nanjing, Jiangnan officially entered the fast lane of being included in the indirect management of the imperial capital, although there were also some crazy people and liars who came up with all kinds of bizarre tricks to confront each other, and some even came up with ideas such as attacking with feces, but in essence, most people were all afraid.
Actually, Li Xiangqian himself is still very painful.
The production of napalm is not a secret, it is nothing more than ......
Just as a qualified military officer, the minimum ability is to use the goods in the supermarket to make simple weapons that can fight terrorists, the most important thing is consciousness and craftsmanship.
