Chapter 203: The Mastermind Emerges

When Yang Xin shouted that those who surrendered should not die, the battle on the merchant ship that tried to escape ended immediately.

And just like that, he got two more boats.

As for the original one that was seriously damaged by the impact, he immediately ordered to be replaced with the Dangkou army on the ship to the ship that was cleaned by him, and the other one was handed over to the Wusong garrison who rushed to hear the sound of cannons, and the sailors on board were escorted to the land to be imprisoned, in short, there was no need to waste time here, and he continued to move forward and go straight to Shanghai under the already shrouded night.

Shanghai.

Yang Baishi, who suddenly rushed into this county seat, went straight to a house in the city under the guidance of Salazar, and simply slammed the door and broke in.

"Take them all!"

He shouted angrily as he entered.

Immediately after that, the Bandit army rushed forward with crossbows.

Twenty-eight Portuguese mercenaries, who were drinking in the courtyard, looked at the soldiers who broke in in amazement.

"Who are you?"

A blue-robed military attache stood up and scolded angrily.

Yang Xin flicked the cloak on his body, revealing the torn flying fish suit inside, and the green-robed officer was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Where is Qian Shiyi?"

Yang Xin shouted.

"If you go back to Shangguan, Qian Jiansheng will have something to do in the evening to return to Huating, and here will be taken care of by the last general, these are all the red-haired artillery divisions recruited by the governor of Liangguang Xu and wanted to be sent to the capital to serve, and there are 20 Hongyi cannons in the warehouse at the wharf, which are waiting to be loaded into the north after the canal is thawed."

The green-robed officer said tremblingly.

"The Hongyi cannon is still transported north, so these people don't have to!"

Yang Xin said.

"The last general is also acting on orders."

The green-robed officer said boldly.

Then an ivory sign appeared in front of him......

"Uh, the last general of the South China Sea Wei Qianhu Wu Bin obeyed the order!"

He said very simply.

"Qian Shiyi is from Huating?"

Yang Xin looked at the mercenaries who were quickly forced and said.

"Back to Yang Yanshi, Qian Jiansheng is a native of Jiashan, Zhejiang, and his brother Qian Shisheng is the champion of Wanli for forty-four years, and Ding Wei is currently at home, he is friends with the new Shaozhan Qian Longxi, and Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry supervises the training of the new army, but there are too many affairs in the Ministry of Industry, so I recommend Qian Longxi as an assistant, and the purchase of cannons to hire red-haired people is Qian Zhan's responsibility. Qian Shiyi understands the red-haired language, and has been to Macao many times in business, Qian Shisheng recommended him as a brother, and there is also a red-haired man surnamed Long with him, who is also quite courteous among the gentry in Songjiang. ”

Wu Bin said.

In this way, Yang Xin is almost clear.

The mastermind is Qian Shisheng.

Qian Shisheng is the Donglin Party, and he is also the core of the Donglin Party, and Gu Dazhang's gang of hard-headed young Zhuang faction can be called friends of life and death, they are all Jinshi of the same department, Qian Shisheng is still the champion, but Ding Wei is at home, he and Gao Panlong also have a deep friendship, and Qian Longxi has to be regarded as the Donglin Party, they want to use this opportunity to control Xu Guangqi's new army.

What the Donglin Party lacks most is force.

Xu Guangqi is a neutral faction, and he is the teacher of the apocalypse, and his control of the new army will not necessarily help the Donglin Party, especially Chen Yujie and Yang Xin have a special relationship, and Sun Yuanhua also followed the Dangkou army before.

It would be difficult for him to do such a thing as betraying the apocalypse.

But he is a native of Songjiang after all.

He also had to maintain close relations with his fellow villagers.

Then Qian Longxi, a Huating man, fooled him, and it was easy to take over this new army from him.

Xu Guangqi's Ministry of Industry is still a heavy business, and the new army can only be handed over to Sun Yuanhua, but Sun Yuanhua has only just gotten a seven-rank officer so far, and the new army needs a higher status to supervise and train, and he can't let a seven-rank officer lead this new army that is being trained according to the standard of 20,000 people, so Qian Longxi, a fellow countryman, and the person who took over his Shaozhan Shi, is the best candidate.

And Qian Longxi and Qian Shisheng began the layout in this way.

It's just that there was an accident here, no one thought that Yang Xin would be so ferocious after going south, and the layout would be talked about later, and now the key is to kill him, otherwise let him continue to plague, and this Donglin Party's base camp will be destroyed, and there will be no base camp and a fart layout. So this mercenary who has arrived in Songjiang has become their best choice, let them be ordered to change to hoe rape in danger, and there is also Long Huamin to help, so Salazar went to Wuxi with the cannon.

In this way, the degree of involvement of the Songjiang gentry is not high.

After all, because of the relationship between Xu Guangqi and Chen Yujie, the Songjiang gentry had a way out in this struggle, and Yang Xin did not harm them.

But Qian Longxi's family must have participated.

"Ma's, everywhere there are people who don't know whether they are alive or dead."

Yang Xin said speechlessly.

He now has a feeling of being trapped in a quagmire.

It's no wonder that the emperor always falls into the water, the Ming Dynasty from top to bottom, has long been completely controlled by the civil officials and the gentry group behind it, no matter who wants to move the interests of this system, he will immediately face the enemy of the world, the emperor is overboard, it is the palace maid rebellion, in short, all kinds of accidents. If the eunuch dares to move, he will be stinking for 10,000 years, if an official dares to betray the group, he will raid his family and liquidate his family, and if a military general dares to move, it will be a dead end.

If he hadn't opened the hanging, he would have died early, I don't know how many times.

But even a hanger has to fight hard in this surging killing machine in all directions in order to break the game.

"You're Shanghai County?"

He looked back at a civil official who had arrived behind him with a servant.

"Xiaguan Shanghai Governor County Bao Qimo."

The latter said in disbelief.

"Yang Xin!"

Yang Xin took out his waist card and said.

"Xia Guan has seen Yang Yanshi!"

The latter hurriedly said.

"These red-haired people will be handed over to you for temporary care, Liu Cheng, take your brother and follow me to Huating!"

Yang Xin then said to the battalion commander of his Dangkou Army.

After saying that, he went straight out the door.

The Dangkou army behind them put away their crossbows one after another, and then left with their leader, leaving Bao Zhixian and Wu Bin to look at each other, but then Bao Zhixian glanced at one of the officials, who immediately left the courtyard......

Yang Xin, who had left Shanghai City, led his subordinates to Huating.

Sixty miles away, all along the way were big roads, and they were pure plains, and these soldiers were also on the boat to recuperate all day, and by the moonlight they had seen Songjiang City until the early hours of the morning, but Yang Xin did not enter the city. He said that coming to Huating was just fooling people, Baozhi County must not be clean, or it would be completely hellish if he didn't ventilate the news, because his subordinates couldn't ride horses, they could only march on foot like this, but people rode horses to find a path to bypass them, and they arrived at Huating in two hours at most.

At this time, Qian Shiyi must have escaped.

But where else could he run?

I must go home first to find Qian Shisheng to arrange a countermeasure, so I can go directly to Jiashan.

The Jiashan Qian family is very rich.

Such a family can't have anything like Ye Maocai last time, especially Qian Shisheng, as the champion, has a wide range of connections, and if he is given enough time, he will definitely invite high-ranking officials such as the governor of Zhejiang to stop him, so he must arrive as quickly as possible and block the Qian family.

"Go ahead and go to Jiashan before dawn!"

Yang Xin shouted to the side.

The soldiers, accustomed to his style, silently picked up their speeds.

Their loyalty to Yang Xin has been verified, after all, they have fought a bloody battle in Wuxi, and Yang Xin has begun to look for the relatives of those soldiers who died in battle, and they have wives and children in the village to Nanjing, give them pensions and settle them in the future. Like those who are pure escapees, send people to their original hometowns to find their relatives, give their pensions to these people, who really have nothing, have already bought coffins to collect, and in the future buy graves in their hometowns for burial.

In fact, Yang Xin is conducting a census among these soldiers, investigating their ancestral homes, especially the location of ancestral graves, to restore their places of origin.

If you don't know it, it's the Yang family.

That is, the people of the river.

In the future, Yang Xin plans to build a similar cemetery in Hejian, and in the future, those who don't know where their ancestors are, will be buried in this cemetery, and they will be built very high-end, and a team of soldiers will be stationed there to guard them in the future. Anyway, he just spent his own money to buy a piece of land, and some people who engaged in charity often did this in these years, including those eunuchs who died, in fact, most of them were buried in such places, after all, the vast majority of eunuchs' clansmen would not want them to enter the ancestral grave.

For example, the eunuchs in Nanjing are basically buried in Yuhuatai.

And there are actually a lot of people in the Dangkou army who don't know where their ancestral home is, after all, many of them are pure outcasts.

In short, Yang Yanshi will definitely not let them die without a home.

And the four injured and disabled have already received their own women, that is, the four maidservants of the Zheng family, but now they have become the slaves of the Yang family. Not only will Yang Yanshi give them a good paddy field, but also build a house for them, and they will also have a pension every year in the future, which will be paid until they die.

In short, for these people who work hard for Yang Yanshi, Yang Baishi will consider everything for them from life to death.

So these soldiers are absolutely loyal.

Isn't it just five hours and one hundred and twenty miles, all of them grew up in the mountains, and the mountain people who cross the mountains and mountains are still afraid of this little distance?

Yang Xin led a hundred Dangkou troops, like the volunteers interspersed with Sansholi, and rushed forward along the main road in the Jiangnan water town under the moonlight, and soon crossed the Huangpu River, arriving at Fengjing at dawn. This is the boundary between Songjiang Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion, and it is also the boundary between Nanzhili and Zhejiang, the dividing line is the middle of the town, and the industry and commerce are also extremely developed and Nanxun is equally famous.

Under the stunned gaze of the early pedestrians, Yang Xin and his entourage passed through the town, and just walked a short distance to see two sedan chairs crossing the bridge on the Jiehe River in front, and a familiar face leaned out of the window to admire the mist-shrouded Jiangnan water town, and then inadvertently turned his head and looked at him all at once......
