"Do you know who his eldest brother is?"

Yan Shenggong, who walked into Guazhou City in a frightened gaze, maintained a warm smile and nodded to the gentry on both sides of the gentry, and whispered to Yang Xin.

"Guo Shu."

Yang Xin said indifferently.

"Knowing that his eldest brother is a waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, you still kill him?"

Yan Shenggong said speechlessly.

Guo Shu is not only a waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, but also one of the emperors, and Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi and others are the former ministers of the original prince's East Palace, but he is also the Donglin Party, Taichang values him, but Tianqi has no liking for him at all, otherwise he would not be thrown to Nanjing as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Except for the military department of the counselor's maintenance, the six departments of Nanjing are all for the old ministers.

"Does he deserve to die?"

Yang Xin said.

"That's right, as long as he goes out for a little guidance, selects these boats to be placed along the coast, guides those small ones to other rivers, and avoids the point of the Guazhou Gate, then there will be no blockage here, Yangzhou is not only an entrance to the Guazhou Gate, Yizhen Salt River, downstream Mangdao River, Baita River, this season can let the lightly loaded boats bypass Guazhou and go directly to Yangzhou.

Even if it is these big ships, they can also get off the ship in Guazhou, and then go to Yangzhou by land, or change to a small boat in the city to continue to move forward, and even the same is true for grain, Guazhou originally had a warehouse for transporting grain.

It is said that he was not allowed to enter the city.

The excuse is that these foreign business travelers are clustered, and they are afraid that they will be mixed with Japanese bandits and take the opportunity to make trouble.

It should be intentional. ”

Yan Shenggong said.

"Isn't that the end of it?"

Yang Xin said.

If it weren't for Guo Yu's intention, there would be a ghost!

"Lord Admiral, there is an official outside, and he brought a large number of soldiers, saying that the Admiral is in charge of the river, and he wants our people not to enter the city, and they all stay on the dock to prevent disturbing the people."

Later, Huang San caught up and said.

"Isn't Admiral Cao Jiang the Duke of Wei?"

Yang Xin said suspiciously.

"Cao Jiang is the imperial history, and it is customary to call Admiral Cao Jiang, it should be Chen Daoheng.

Obviously, people have been prepared, they are not ready to let you act as recklessly as in Wuxi, Wuxi is their carelessness, and they did not transfer a team of officers and soldiers to be stationed in advance to watch you, but this time people have learned to be smart, and directly let Chen Daoheng take soldiers and horses to watch you. It's funny now, don't you like to let the Dangkou army raid your house and arrest people? Don't you like to have these minions poke people with spears? I see how you continue to behave with a tight spell on your head.

He is the deputy imperial envoy of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate.

I'd love to see if you have the guts to make a move on an envoy of the vice-capital. ”

Yan Sheng Gong gloated.

Obviously, Yan Shenggong will feel happy from the bottom of his heart every time Yang Xin is unlucky, but every time the result is disappointing him.

"Go back and tell your brothers that I have given you the order to enter the city at once, and if you fail to fulfill my orders, you know the consequences very well."

Yang Xin looked at Huang San and said.

"Uh, the little one understands!"

Huang San immediately turned around and trotted towards the dock.

Yang Xin stood in place and looked at the pier from afar.

He only brought 300 Dangkou troops this time, and the others are still in Wuxi, where the militia construction is actually still in progress, and the militia transformation of 30,000 tenants cannot be completed in a month, in fact, there are still more tenants running to declare. However, those gentry knew that they were unable to resist, and they had already chosen to accept it, and then hurriedly declared their hidden land to the Military Management Commission, after all, it was better to pay taxes in the future than to go directly, so far Yang Xin has forced out nearly 100,000 acres of hidden land for Tianqi.

Moreover, those prisoners and the confiscated gold and silver were also there, so Yang Huan stayed behind with 1,200 Dangkou troops, Yang Xin with 300 Dangkou troops, and 200 miscellaneous minions and two armed merchant ships to come to Yangzhou to deal with the matter.

But now there's an extra group of people.

Yang Xin looked at a red-robed civil official from a distance.

This is the deputy imperial envoy of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, the admiral Caojiang Chen Daoheng, and the Wei Guogong Yiwen Yiwu jointly manage the naval division based in Xinjiangkou.

Of course, he is actually the one who has the final say.

From the development of the Ming Dynasty to the present, whether it is Nanjing or Beijing, the army under the five-army governorship system has actually been controlled by civilian officials.

The latter was talking to those officials and gentry, probably asking where Guo Tongzhi went, but I don't know if these officials and gentry had the guts to tell him what had just happened, but they shouldn't have the guts, Old Man Yu is the head of the local gentry, and Guazhou Yu's family is the number one family. It seems that he is a smart person, as for those local officials, it doesn't matter, even if they say it, they don't dare to say it to their faces, at most they will sue later, in short, it seems that Chen Daoheng doesn't know who the blood under his feet belongs to.

And a large number of officers and troops he brought with him were landing on the shore and blocking the Dangkou army that was supposed to follow into the city.

The three hundred Dangkou troops were waiting there with four three-pounder guns, and after a month of assault training, their gunners were already very accurate, and they could be called qualified artillerymen. Moreover, after mixing with each other for a period of time, many battalions have achieved language communication with each other, so Yang Xin plans to further merge these battalions in the next step, and eventually reduce them to five battalions. At the same time, they sent people back to the mountains to recruit a part, and eventually reached 500 men per battalion, and each battalion was equipped with a regiment of four such three-pounder guns.

To put it bluntly, it is the militarization of Hunan Province.

And the militarization of Hunan is the most suitable for the southern battlefield.

Soon Huang San returned to the team.

Chen Daoheng watched Lao Huang run past him, and then raised his head to look here.

Yang Xin raised his hand with a smile on his face and greeted the Imperial Envoy of Vice Capital Chen.

Vice-Imperial Envoy!

This is a real magistrate at the level of the Governor.

The latter pretended not to see it too far, and then turned his gaze to Daguanlou, and even chatted with the old man Yu just now with great interest.

Obviously, he still underestimated Yang Xin's madness.

Then Yang Xin's raised hand slowly pressed down.

On the armed merchant ship behind Chen Daoheng, Salazar waved the small flag in his hand, and the sailors who had been waiting beside him quickly put the arquebus into the ignition hole, and suddenly twelve cannons sprayed flames, and the thunderous cannon sound instantly resounded through Guazhou again. Chen Daoheng was so frightened that he jumped on the spot, and then he turned back in amazement, and then the cannon of another armed merchant ship also spewed flames. The cannonballs whistled over his head, and he looked back at Yang Xin with an expression of disbelief amid the terrified screams of the squire officials around him.

Yang Xin smiled again and raised his hand to him.

At the same time, mud splashed at the water gate of Guazhou City.

The sound of the cannon was an order, and all the Rogus troops instantly raised their spears, a dense forest of spears pushed forward, the sword player hid in the middle of the dense forest, the crossbowman behind raised his crossbow and waited, and the sailors on the two armed merchant ships reloaded the shells as quickly as possible.

The officers and soldiers who had stood in their way scattered in terror......

This is the guard of Nanjing.

They have a fart fighting power, and they were the ones who were scared by pirates and shut themselves out.

"Put a shackle on me?"

Yang Xin patted Yan Shenggong on the shoulder.

"They've got to have a shackle first!"

Then he said.

Indeed, if you want to put a shackle on him, you have to have it first.

How can there be an army that can fight in the whole of Jiangnan? The only one who can really fight is the Zhejiang army, and the Zhejiang army has been transferred to the battlefield in Liaodong, and the naval army can still fight the coastal ones, and on the Yangtze River are the centipede ships that sent Yang Xin to Changzhou last time, and they were frightened by several pirate ships. Expecting the army in Jiangnan to put a tight spell on Yang Baishi at this time is simply a fantasy, not to mention that the army in Nanjing is not interested in doing this, at most it is just to listen to the order to deal with it.

Really hard?

Joke!

Those who serve as soldiers are not fools!

At the same time that Huang San led the Dangkou army to disperse at least three times their official army, and then pushed four cannons into the city to keep up with Yang Xin, Chen Daoheng also came to Yang Xianshi angrily.

"Yang Yanshi, what do you want? Rebellion? ”

Old man Chen shouted angrily.

"Vice Chen Xian, do you want to play with lust and sin?"

Yang Xin said with a pure face.

This is also a very cheeky word.

"Then why the cannon?"

Chen Daoheng said angrily.

He is a native of Jiangxi, and is a Jinshi in the fourteenth year of Wanli, in fact, the qualifications are very old, originally in history soon changed to the governor of the river, and when Xu Hongru rebelled, he guarded Jining, and later changed to the Nanjing Military Department Shangshu, but because he couldn't bear to go home to the old man at the age of 9,000, he was still very honest and honest, and belonged to the famous honest officials.

"Ah, yes, why are you firing the cannon?"

Yang Xinyi asked Huang San rhetorically.

"Back to the Admiral, the little one heard that the master said that there was something going on, and he was afraid that these cannons would not be easy to use, so he just tried the cannons first."

Huang San said.

"Ah, test the gun, Vice Chan, they're just trying the gun."

Yang Xin said.

Chen Daoheng was so angry that he took a deep breath.

At this time, his soldiers also followed, and the officer leading the team looked embarrassed.

"Let's go!"

Old man Chen left angrily.

"Let's go, go to Yangzhou, wrap 100,000 yuan around your waist, and ride a crane down to Yangzhou! We don't have 100,000 cannons, but fortunately, we can carry cannons. ”

Yang Xin said.

Chen Daoheng led the people to board the boat in Guazhou City, while Yang Xin led the Dangkou army on foot, and the two teams went out of Guazhou in parallel, and then found that the entire canal was completely blocked, and the blocked boats were estimated to stretch from Guazhou to Yangzhou. However, Chen Daoheng took a small boat with a shallow draft, and could still sail from the edge of the channel, as for Yang Xin's walk, it was very simple, from Guazhou to Yangzhou a big road directly through, and there were bridges along the river......

There are also on the Yangzhou Canal.

Yangzhou is still a banknote pass, and the banknote pass naturally has a bridge, how to build a toll station without a bridge?

This distance is not worth mentioning at all for the Dangkou army, these soldiers with cannons pushing ammunition carts, spread their legs forward in the complete spring color, and in less than an hour and a half, they saw Yangzhou in the distance, and at this time Chen Daoheng was still rubbing on the canal.
