The unlucky Zhu Zhiyu and others did not escape in the end......

They were captured.

And these guys who are purely here to make trouble are the main financiers of the group exercises, especially Xie Sanbin and Qian Sule, which are the core of the local gentry group in Yinxian County, the former can be regarded as the richest man in Yinxian County, and the latter is a huge family.

The remaining Wan Tai is a disciple of Liu Zongzhou, and Huang Zongxi is the son of Huang Zunsu.

These two are the souls of the gentry in eastern Zhejiang.

Spiritual leader.

Zhu Zhiyu doesn't need to say anything.

Their capture gave the defenders of the two forts at Jinji Mountain and Jiaoshan enough reason to surrender......

Of course.. The main thing is that defeat is a foregone conclusion.

With the failure of the regimental training to meet the battle, the Jingnan Army established a landing area with Kashan as the core, and tens of thousands of troops from Zhoushan continued to arrive at the sea, and the defense here could only be a death struggle. At this time, the Jingnan army in western Zhejiang had begun to advance eastward, and the two regiments that rushed back from Hangzhou to reinforce were in Zhuji and Shengxian to defend, and these were the people who were originally guarding Ningbo. And even if it is temporarily held at the mouth of the Yongjiang River, there is no point, 100,000 Jingnan troops are coming from western Zhejiang, unless Jiahuhang and Su Song's regimental training troops go south, it is impossible to resist this army.

But that's just as impossible.

Because in that case, the Jingnan army in the direction of Wuxi and Huzhou will not be able to control their desires.

In short, there is no hope in eastern Zhejiang, and the choice to make is to use himself as bait to consume the strength of the Jingnan army for the decisive battle in Huaibei. Or choose to surrender to keep your property and wait for the outcome of the decisive battle in Huaibei......

The latter, of course.

After the surrender of Jinji Mountain and Jiaoshan Forts, the defenders of Weiyuan City surrendered.

If they don't surrender, they should suffer from the shells fired on Jinji Mountain, not to mention that this side has surrendered, and the defense over there is useless, the channel of the Xiaohun River can also take the tide north to Yinxian County, in fact, during the Song Dynasty, the Xiaohun River was the main sea passage for Ningbo's maritime trade.

In this case, the defenders of Weiyuan City and Dinghai will surrender in shame!

In this way, the gate of the Yongjiang Estuary was opened, and the Beiyang Navy went straight to Ningbo......

Nanking.

"Ningbo and Shaoxing surrendered."

Secretary Wang said.

"Ha, they're all smart!"

Yang Xin said.

This result is normal. Mu Yunfeng remembered to read the collection of this site, the update here is really fast. The two things in Huizhou and Quzhou were enough to calm down the gentry.

On the one hand, they only lose their land, and at most they can pay some money, but they can keep most of their property, and there is hope that the lost land will be regained, and on the other hand, they will lose everything, even their lives.

It's not a hard choice to make.

"Speaking of your trouble, it has brought out the true faces of many people, Dinghai is Xie Sanbin who entered the city to persuade him to surrender, and Huaxia, the leader of Dinghai Tuanlian, does not want to surrender yet, Xie Sanbin angrily reprimanded Huaxia, saying that he wanted to involve the township, and then coaxed the group to practice with five thousand taels of silver to catch Huaxia, and took Huaxia with five flowers to surrender to Yang Yi.

also bribed Yang Yi with 10,000 taels.

Let Yang Yi help him arrest and shoot a few vengeful people on charges of rebellion.

It's so funny! ”

Secretary Wang said with a smile. …,

This name made Yang Xin's eyes immediately turn to his adopted daughter.

At this time, Yang Ru, who was almost ten years old, walked by like a flowery branch, not knowing that his good friend in history was becoming the object of ridicule by Aunt Wang.

But it's a side effect.

At present, the entire group of officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty is re-evaluating the conduct of those officials and gentry according to their performance in the war, and has always resisted the Jingnan army at Congshan Pass, and did not let the Jingnan army enter the gate of Huizhou until the surrender. On the contrary, those who are usually very famous but actually have little use, such as Xiong Mingyu and Shang Zhouzuo, have their fame plummeted, including the water that was shot is too cold, although he was shot, he is indeed very incompetent.

And they escaped.

Although Shang Zhouzuo said that they were in order to be able to quickly mobilize troops on the Eastern Front to meet the battle.

But......

Who doesn't know who!

Obviously, it is just that the situation is not good, and the soles of the feet are oiled.

And Qian Qianyi is still the first person to support the Datong Army. Although the gentry liked this very much, it was the appearance of the Datong Army that gave Yang Xin an excuse to start this war, which is also true, especially since the Datong Army spent so much money on the gentry. The gentry exhausted their efforts and finally became the gravediggers of the gentry, this result is inevitably unacceptable, but the gentry will definitely not think that they are wrong, only Qian Qianyi, who presided over the overall situation in Nanjing, is wrong.

It must be that they are incapable and cannot educate the soldiers well, so that the soldiers defect one after another.

Yes, definitely.

His death was far from enough to atone for his sins.

At present, in the evaluation of the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he has become synonymous with stupidity.

But it's not bad. There are also those who quickly became the leading party, such as Xie Sanbin, who were basically ruined, in short, this war was a thorough test of the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

And Nankong also followed in the footsteps of Beikong, and became notorious among the gentry.

Especially after the Jingnan army entered Quzhou and released the gentry who were originally locked up in the Dacheng Palace, they simply complained to Kong Zhenyun with blood and tears, forcing Dr. Kong to close the door again.

"By the way, Yang Yi asked how much salary he wanted them to pay?"

Secretary Wang said.

"Ningbo and Shaoxing each have 1.5 million, give them half a month, and if they don't have enough money after half a month. Mu Yunfeng remembered to read the collection of this site, the update here is really fast. According to the number of fields from more to a few, first grasp the most and then copy half of the family property to make up, can make up enough will not copy the next one, in short, when to make up enough and when to stop copying the house. ”

Yang Xin said.

This mode should do the trick.

Regardless of the profits of industry and commerce, land was by far the most important indicator of the gentry's financial resources.

Set a general standard for a place, and then let the gentry make it up themselves, and if they can't make it up after the deadline, they will start to fill the gap according to the largest number of fields.

The most is not enough to copy the second most, so keep copying down.

There is no need to worry about the disaster of the place, anyway, there is no need to worry about the lack of land at all, only those big families with the most land are really afraid. In the future, all those areas that voluntarily surrendered followed this model, anyway, the financial resources of the gentry in various places, in the Yang family's firms and money villages, there are complete statistics, there may be some errors, but basically true. …,

Ningshao and Huizhou each have 1.5 million, Huizhou has 2 million, Quzhou has to pay 1 million taels, Jinhua has to pay 1 million taels, so that the salary alone is 6 million, plus the previous raid, Yang Dudu's gold and silver mountains are getting bigger and bigger.

But the apocalypse is getting poorer and poorer.

His Majesty the Emperor had to consume a large amount of silver in the inner treasury for the Liaodong Army to go south, although it could still hold on, but after all, it had begun to make ends meet, relying on the inventory of nine thousand years old, I have to say that the value of nine thousand years old was really displayed at this time, but even so, the apocalypse also ordered the suspension of all the clan money.

After all, his taxes are also drastically reduced.

Fujian no longer pays taxes, and Zhejiang has long stopped handing them over to him, but Su Song is still paying, but they are all transported to Xuzhou on the spot, which has become Lu Xiangsheng's base camp, and all the armies that have gone south are currently supported by taxes from Su Song, Huaiyang and other places.

But Yang Xin is still handing it over here. However, he did not ask the people to pay it, but he himself directly transported the taxes that should have been released from the control area to the capital, or in the form of grain, in fact, the grain that was sold to the capital in the past has now become a free gift. Anyway, these grains are all produced in Taiwan, Nanyang, including Tianjin, and the area under his current control originally did not bear much, the entire Nanzhili is only six million stones, Su Song is half, and these places in Anqing and Huaiyang are not in his hands.

In fact, what he needs to hand over to the Apocalypse is two million stones, plus miscellaneous taxes and the like are three million, so the tax of the Ming Dynasty is really not high.

The high ones are just extra additions from the officials.

And this is in general, not to say that it is these things that explain Jing.

Xie Jing's is generally half, but Yang Dudu is generous, and he doesn't care about this bit of food, so he gives Apocalypse three million stones, but the grain in the north is not only these, but the others are what he sold to Apocalypse. In fact, a lot of it is also purchased locally, and his grain is only allowed to be sold to his grain station. It is the unified purchase and sale of grain, and the grain merchants in various cities are forcibly included in the grain station system by him to ensure the stability of prices, and the gentry behind these grain merchants are basically raided anyway. This kind of unified purchasing and marketing system has been implemented in Yangjiazhuang for many years, and has accumulated enough experience; as for the area controlled by Yang Xin, he is not ready to collect land this year, and it is enough to fight local tyrants and subsidize salaries.

It can be regarded as a kind of buying people's hearts.

Li Zicheng's methods are still worth emulating.

The harvest will start again next year, and it will be changed to requisition, and the standard will still be in accordance with the militia of the past.

It does not need to be too low, with the level of agriculture in this area, the levy of 20 percent per mu of a yeoman farmer is enough to make the latter have enough food and clothing, and then increase with the industrial and commercial taxes. Mu Yunfeng remembered to read the collection of this site, the update here is really fast. It can be gradually reduced, but not now, and his original promise is these, and the people are also asking for these, there is no need to lower the standard.

However, the unified purchase and marketing of grain cannot be changed.

The surplus must be sold to him.

The sale of grain in the city must also be controlled by him.

Only in this way can we truly deal with the famine, and at the same time, only in this way can we squeeze out the surplus grain to supply other places to solve the famine, and as long as the right to buy and sell the grain is still in the hands of the merchants, he should not expect to be able to effectively solve the famine.

"My lord, it's all ready."

At this time, Li Zicheng walked in and saluted and said.

"Let's go, it's our turn, it's time to make a break!"

Yang Xin stood up and said.

Secretary Wang looked at him deeply, and then generously rewarded him with a fragrant kiss......

"Go, come back after victory, I'll wash you and treat you!"

She said. ,
