With the anti-thieves who have been promoted to a new realm with an obvious mental state, Yang Dudu officially arrived in Danyang.

And here is full preparation.

The Third Army of the Loyal and Brave Army in Danyang completed the assembly and began to deploy heavy weapons, although these reservists were carrying their own weapons in the township, but the artillery and the like were concentrated in the military headquarters, and the ammunition was also centrally supplied. The 10,000-foot cavalry artillery armies were all under the banner of their respective generals in Danyang according to the original establishment, and the army commander was the original Danyang county magistrate, who was also the original officer of Henglin Fort.

As for theoretically replacing the emperor to manage the county supervisors here......

They don't care.

Since the last time a county eunuch tried to make trouble, but in the blink of an eye, no one was alive or dead, and no corpse was seen, the eunuchs here have been very sensible.

Anyway, they don't make a lot of money.

In this case, why bother to suffer for themselves, they just need to collect rent and taxes in peace, and how the local people love it, even if this war really starts, they will just evacuate.

They were the emperor's people.

They were all the overmen of the celebrants.

Even if those gentry can fight back, will they dare to do anything to them?

In short, the eunuchs of Zhaoyi City, led by Liu Shimin, all ignored the assembly and preparation of the loyal and brave army, and each closed the gate of the official office where they were stationed, and let the outside make trouble, and even when Yang Dudu arrived, they did not come forward according to Liu Shimin's orders. And here Yang Xin gave the order to the loyal army to take over Dantu Fort, and then the deputy commander led two brigades to set off overnight, and the next morning they had already taken over the Dangkou army that had been left behind in Dantu Fort.

The main force of the Dangkou army set off and continued to advance.

On the same day.

Suzhou.

"Fight, you have to fight!"

Shen Tingyang waved his arms and shouted like a member of the Rotten National Assembly.

Around him, a group of gentry sat precariously.

This is actually the Xuanmiaoguan Sanqing Palace, the number of gentry convened this time is too large, the entire Songjiang Mansion and Suzhou Mansion, and even the Jiaxing Mansion and Huzhou Mansion plus the remnants of Changzhou Mansion, as well as some of the exiled gentry have been invited, including the heads of major academies, the eunuchs in their hometowns, and the heads of families with more than 100 hectares of land......

Those with more than 100 acres are not qualified.

Only those who have more than 100 hectares here can be called a real wealthy family.

After all, there are all kinds of masters in this area, and there are thousands of acres of land comparable to those of vassal kings.

In fact, there are very few feudal kings who have given more than 10,000 hectares of land, such as King De, who has only a few thousand hectares, and although King Gui, who has just taken over the country, said that it is 10,000 hectares, it has only expanded to less than 5,000 until now.

The sacrifice field of the Yansheng Gongjia is only 2,000 hectares.

In this land, there are no hundred hectares of fertile land, and I am really embarrassed to say that I am a wealthy family.

And the convener is the water is too cold, he is now like the head of the Donglin Party, in fact, nine thousand years old has always treated him as the leader of the Donglin Party, during this period of time the loyal ministers and righteous people in the DPRK have been defeated, when this state affairs are not ten thousand horses, he resolutely carried the banner of justice, raised his arms and called to gather the loyal ministers and righteous people around Taihu Lake to stand up and turn the tide, becoming a bright light in this dark world.

Anyway, this is his character now.

Because there are too many people, it can be said that these old villagers and sages, just like the parliament of the rotten country, sit opposite each other on both sides, and in order to facilitate the clear reading of the back, they also use chairs of different heights, and even deliberately cushion them, and finally form a ladder effect. And in the middle of the empty space is Shen Tingyang's speaking seat, in front of which are the bigwigs led by Qian Qianyi, and even Wei Dazhong, who has just resigned, is also there, although there is still a gap between Wei's land and a hundred hectares, but as a eunuch, he must also be invited.

Originally, Zhu Guozhen was also invited.

But Old Man Zhu was disheartened and politely refused on the grounds that he was seriously ill.

"We have no other choice.

This traitor, and even the people behind him, have been planning for a long time, and they have devised a very cunning plan.

They used deliberately framed raids to drive nails in various places, created militia districts, put a noose around our necks before we knew it, and then used these militia districts to lure those tenants to hate us, and quietly tightened this noose with the hatred of the tenants. When they felt that the melons were ripe and fell, the Yang thief pushed them, and our pavilions collapsed.

They got what they wanted.

Countless grains and silver flowed into the inner treasury.

Is that grain and silver?

That's our flesh and blood!

They are eating our flesh and drinking our blood!

Look at the gentry in Zhenjiang and Wujin, when Wu Cai died of illness last year, in order to buy him a coffin, the Wu family reached the point of pawning women's jewelry, so do you want to become the next one? ”

Shen Tingyang said impassionedly.

He is a bit exaggerated, although Wu Liang's field property is gone, but later Zhiyuan was returned to him, this old man is also stubborn, he really went back to Zhiyuan to continue to live, and claimed to rather die than eat Zhou Su, all food and clothing would rather buy from Wuxi than buy the local area. And his Zhiyuan has to be maintained, although his son Wu Rousi is in Gutian, Fujian Province, when the county magistrate, but even if the place in Gutian is open to fishing, Wu Rousi can't get the silver for his father to maintain the Zhiyuan!

In the end, after Wu Liang's death, he did rely on a few female relatives to pawn jewelry to buy a coffin that matched his identity.

But as soon as he died, his family sold the mess, and now the women grow vegetables and flowers in it and sell them in the city, and the men rely on the old network to do business.

The days are also very good.

After all, the garden was also fifty acres of fertile land.

Of course, for those wealthy families, the tragedy of the Wu family is still very terrible, in their opinion, the Wu family has been completely ruined, what a beautiful garden, it has actually fallen to growing vegetables, this is completely degenerate, and it is a pity that the cultivator family of four generations of ten scholars has been completely ruined.

"But after all, he came with Shang Fang's sword, if we openly meet with his sword soldiers, wouldn't it be openly enemy of His Majesty the Emperor?"

A fellow sage said weakly.

"Emperor? So what is an emperor? I'd like to ask someone to tell you something. ”

Shen Tingyang raised the Datongguo in his hand and said.

Then he waved outside, and then He Gang walked in with a person, looking at this person, those old villagers talked a lot, because this is a ghost, and it is a red-haired man.

"This is Song Ke, the trade envoy of the Dutch East India Company in Shanghai, and I would like to ask him to tell you how they run their country, and although we regard it as barbarians, there are places where we are really inferior to these barbarians."

Shen Tingyang said.

Song Ke, the first governor of the Dutch in Taiwan, who was now in charge of trade affairs in Shanghai on behalf of the East India Company, immediately stepped forward to salute these old people, although the Dutch East India Company was rampant at this time, he was still very respectful here. He has been in Shanghai for two years, and he knows very well that if he picks out one of them at random, his family property is comparable to the income of the East India Company in a year, and the family property of these guys in front of him does not add up to all of them, and it is estimated that half of them can buy all the shares of the East India Company.

The total share value of the Dutch East India Company at this time was only 5 million dong.

But if you pick one at random, the family fortune may be millions of guilders, and it is not impossible for even one family to catch up with the entire Dutch East India Company.

These are all really rich people.

After saluting respectfully, he began to give a detailed account of the Dutch system, provincial self-government, inter-provincial republics, and the composition of the parliament......

They don't have a parliament yet.

At this time, the Netherlands was precisely said to be the Estates-General, each province had its own Estates-General, and the Estates-General of each province sent representatives to form a general meeting, as many as the number of factions, and there was only one vote anyway, and the general meeting decided by vote on war and peace, the conclusion of treaties, the navy and the army, religion and taxation. The cost of public affairs is shared by the provinces, but the Dutch province bears 58 percent, so the other provinces do not listen to the Dutch province, as long as the Dutch province reduces the cost of the cost, the republic can collapse, and in the end it is the Dutch province that governs the country, and the speaker of the Dutch Estates-General is also the speaker of the Grand Council.

So it is customarily called the Netherlands.

The provincial councils elected the governors of the provinces.

However, it is currently all from the House of Orange, and the recently deceased Prince Morris has the status of consul in six of the seven provinces, but now it is his younger brother, and his brother has lost the province of Friesland.

The consuls appointed magistrates.

It is also the most powerful family in various places.

But because this was the time of the war, the consuls were on the battlefield most of the time, so it was the Speaker who really managed the affairs of the country, and to put it bluntly, the consul was the mercenary leader hired by the Estates-General, and the Speaker was in charge of specific affairs.

Therefore, after the end of the war between the Netherlands and Spain, the Dutch people immediately tried their best to intrigue with the Orange family, and finally after the death of William II, taking advantage of the latter's only a widow, quickly kicked the Orange family aside, and then was quickly invited back when Louis XIV beat him.

The Dutch army, on the other hand, was always on the side of the House of Orange.

For the Parliament was never as generous as the House of Orange when it came to giving money.

However, for the old villagers of the Ming Dynasty sitting here at the moment, this is undoubtedly really beautiful!

And Daming is simpler than them, after all, Daming has no priests and nobles, but fortunately, Daming has various academies, so that the mountain chiefs of various academies are similar to priests, and those big families are similar to European nobles, they are much richer than European nobles. In this way, the gentry of each county formed their own councils, sent representatives to form a general association, and the county councils appointed their own magistrates, and the magistrates appointed officials from among the clans that controlled the villages.

But what about the emperor in this case?
