Chapter 563 Li Zicheng Tongue Fights the Confucians

What to do next, Yang Dudu is indeed a little undecided, but ......

There should be no hesitation in picking the fruit.

On the second day of the Battle of Nanjing, the cavalry who stayed behind under the banner of the left guard marched into Dangtu City in the cheers of the people of Taipingfu, and then wiped out the gentry in Taipingfu City and the surrounding places......

They rebelled.

No matter how you explain it, the Datong army is a rebel party to the emperor.

These gentry requisitioned and issued men to the Datong Army, transported materials, organized regimental training as auxiliaries, and even dedicated their home Xuande furnace to the Datong Army to melt the cast cannon, so of course the evidence of rebellion is conclusive, since it is rebellious, there is nothing to say.

Raid the house.

You have to raid your home.

Then the gentry of the entire Taiping Mansion immediately wailed, at this moment they had exhausted their strength in order to support Zhang Mingzhen's attack on Nanjing, and they also caused a lot of scolding among the people, and they didn't even have the ability to resist at all, so they could only watch the military households who were originally Nanjing empty their homes. Gold and silver were sent to Nanjing, grain was put on the spot, and everyone among the common people had grain and cloth collars, and then their cheers completely drowned out the wails of the gentry, and as for the latter, the deeds of sale of the slaves were all burned, and the large amount of usury IOUs was sent to Nanjing, and the small amount was obviously burned by the poor people who could not afford to pay.

At the same time, the Qing Dynasty was launched, and the land of the original landlords was distributed to tenants and serfs in the name of the imperial field.

For the time being, it's still the militia.

Needless to say, those who were originally landless and had a source of livelihood were all recruited by Yang Dudu......

Mining.

Ma'anshan Iron Mine.

Mining, iron smelting, charcoal burning, coking, and even wrought iron sheet processing, tin plating, canning, fishing and canning are all industries that can absorb the unemployed population of the entire Thai Province. The fishery of the Yangtze River is not enough to organize aquaculture, fish farming, this area is full of ponds, and the fish farming technology in the people is actually very mature, is the scale only, after all, this area is not the coast can let those trawlers fish.

In short, Yang Dudu will not let anyone have no source of livelihood.

Even reclamation.

In the past, there was little development of the mountainous areas, after all, this area was rice, but now there are sweet potatoes, corn and the like, which are enough to expand to the mountainous areas.

On the same day, the cavalry under the banner of staying behind the right guard also entered Lishui in the same way.

Or wipe out the local gentry.

And then it's the same pattern.

Then there is Liyang.

However, Liyang is not a Nanjing army, but the loyal army of Jintan, as the emperor's personal soldiers directly under the ceremonial supervisor, the crime of rebellion against the gentry in Liyang has long been mastered, and the rest is just a net, and the loyal army of a whole army surrounds Liyang. Poor Liyang's Tianxiong army had long since been wiped out, and there was no ability to resist at all, and only half an hour later, the poor people in the city opened the city gates, and then the loyal soldiers poured in, announcing the restoration of Liyang in cheers.

It is true that this word can be used.

After all, the city was occupied by rebels before.

Then there is Zhenjiang.

"The Huwei Army would rather die than surrender!"

On the wall of Zhenjiang, Ge Lin roared angrily.

Several officers beside him were also full of grief and indignation, and even one of them drew his sword and looked at Li Zicheng with angry eyes......

Well, Li Zicheng, who had just become Yang Dudu's personal soldier, was entrusted with the important task of reading an ultimatum to the Huwei army on behalf of Yang Dudu, demanding that they immediately disarm and surrender, and then hand over the Zhenjiang City occupied by them, and hand over the city to the loyal and brave army who came to take over. This is the implementation of the emperor's holy decree, although the Huwei army did not rebel, but the holy decree assigned Zhenjiang to Zhaoyi they must obey, the city already belongs to Zhaoyi, they have no right to continue to steal, and the Huwei army as a regimental training, itself is not the army of the imperial court, Yang Dudu feels that this kind of civilian armed forces violate the Ming military system.

It must be disbanded.

It's a pity that at this moment, Zhenjiang City is full of those exiled gentry from Danyang, Jintan and other places, who regard this city as their last spiritual sustenance, and now that evil traitor even wants to take away their last place to stay.

They will have to wander in the lands of their ancestors......

Although it is a bit of an exaggeration to say this.

After all, they still have a reclamation certificate.

But at this moment, they really had the urge to look up to the sky and shout to the heavens, the earth, and they wanted to use their cries to accuse Yang Xin of Yang Xin's crimes.

It's useless, though.

"Then we can fulfill your wishes, please look over there!"

Li Zicheng said with a smile.

As he spoke, he pointed to the Yangtze River in the distance.

There four battleships lined up, and the muzzles of more than a hundred and twenty-four pound guns were faintly visible, while behind the battleships were more than a dozen cruisers, and the same more than two hundred gun ports were also aimed at Zhenjiang City.

"Look over there again!"

He pointed to the other side.

Countless artillerymen were busy there, dragging a heavy eighteen-pound cannon towards the gun emplacement, and on those gun emplacements, there were already more than a dozen identical cannons erected, and the muzzles of the guns were raised towards Zhenjiang City, ready to shoot ferocious shells at any time.

This is still the Datong Army.

Although the 10,000-kilogram cannon cannot be transported to the battlefield for the time being because it is too heavy, there are as many as 40 18-kilogram artillery pieces of the Datong Army in Yuhuatai, which can be mobilized and can be transported by towing them to the Xiaguan wharf and loading them on ships. In fact, those 10,000-pound cannons have also been moved out of the fort, but they are still making gun mounts and twin wheels for them, and they have to be dragged to the Shimonoseki dock with wooden tracks in advance, so it will take some time.

But it's not that it's not incapacitated.

The twelve 10,000-jin cannons are very useful, and then the fortresses on the periphery of Suzhou will have to rely on them to blast open, and I have to say that Zhang Mingzhen solved a lot of trouble for Yang Dudu.

"My tiger army is united in ......"

Ge Lin said excitedly.

"We have 200,000 people."

Li Zicheng said calmly.

Ge Lin was speechless, and could only continue to stare at him with angry eyes, while Li Zicheng continued to smile, it was obvious that he had found a little bit of what it would be like to sit on the Jinluan Hall twenty years later, facing the princes of Gungon.

"Hundreds of thousands of athletes in Zhenjiang City ......"

The soldier in the green shirt next to him said inwardly.

"There are millions in Zhaoyi next to you, and there are millions in Nanjing."

Li Zicheng said calmly.

The latter retreated.

"We have tens of millions of loyal ...... in Jiangnan"

Another fellow scholar said proudly.

"Your Jiangnan Tens of Millions of Loyal Righteousness are opening the city gate for us, do you want to send you to Jurong to have a look? Before I came, the people there had already opened the gates of the city to welcome the cavalry of Xiaolingwei into the city. ”

Li Zicheng said.

The latter wailed indignantly, estimating that his house was Jurong.

However, Jurong's Huwei army did surrender.

Although there were 4,000 Huwei troops there, it was 20,000 Nanjing New Army and 10,000 loyal and brave troops who took over Jurong, and before the defenders could make a decision on whether to fight to the end, the people in the city couldn't wait to open the city gates.

What else can the defenders do?

Twist and go out of the city to disarm and surrender!

"Everyone, I can see that you are all from big families, you have read poetry and books since you were a child, and you are all knowledgeable, so I don't understand, even I, who was still a post boy half a year ago, know that you have lost, what are you still entangled in?

Do you think that someone will come to your rescue at this time?

Who will come to your rescue?

Suzhou gang or Songjiang ones? Or Lu Zhaoxiong in Jiangbei?

No matter who you count on, as long as you dare to resist, then don't want to see them alive, the little one is a messenger, just pass the word, I didn't want to talk nonsense, but I'm a kind-hearted person, I don't want to watch you die, or advise you, let it be clear, you have already lost.

Then admit defeat honestly!

Then you will keep your life and your money, after all, you are not rebellious.

But there is nothing left to resist.

The money and life are gone, and as for the land, it is said that your land is gone, and such a lonely city is still struggling!

Then give me a happy word, to fight or not to fight? If you don't fight, then honestly open the city gate and line up to disarm your weapons, fight, I will immediately turn around and go out of the city, you will wash your necks here and wait to cut off your head! Stop pretending here, and all of you are still in one place? Believe it or not, you dare to resist, it doesn't take the people of the city to open the gates for us without dark?

Hurry up.

In a word, to fight or not to fight! ”

Li Zicheng said disdainfully.

"You anti-......"

Ge Lin, who was actually humiliated by a post guard, roared angrily.

Then a soldier next to him instantly covered his mouth, and Ge Lin angrily tried to pull his hand away, but then the other two soldiers next to him hugged him at once, and there were people who were calling those soldiers to drag their commander away quickly, and not to talk nonsense here, in case he angered this former pawn, it would be troublesome to go back to slander.

"Does that mean no fighting?"

Li Zicheng looked at them with interest and said.

"Don't fight, don't fight, this brother is right, it's all for His Majesty the Emperor, what to fight!"

A gentleman whispered with a smiling face.

"Be louder, I didn't hear it!"

Li Zicheng said arrogantly.

"This brother, please go back and report to the Duke of Yingguo, just say that the previous blockade of the entry of the loyal and brave army was all confused, Zhenjiang Shimin is willing to merge into Zhaoyi City, and the Huwei army is willing to disarm, welcome the loyal and brave army to station!"

The man endured the humiliation, bowed his head and groveled.

It is estimated that he also greeted Jiannu like this when he shaved his hair and changed clothes in history, but fortunately, Li Zicheng did not need him to kneel to greet him.

"Haha, they're all sensible, I thought they weren't sensible!"

Li Zicheng said with a smile.

Then he laughed so loudly and turned away.

The gentry in the back looked at each other in humiliation, followed by a sigh, and some people simply sat directly on the city wall as if their whole body strength was exhausted, and it was obvious that the result of the final failure after struggling for so many years was still a little difficult for them to accept.

But then there was the cheers of the people in the city......
