Chapter 412: The King of Evil
Poor Governor Gu was so embarrassed by these guys who vomited blood.
But it's useless to vomit blood.
His encirclement and suppression still ended in a fiasco, no matter which direction it was a fiasco, even if Yang Xin did not appear, no matter which direction, the officers and troops were nothing more than a patchwork of guards, the gentry's regimental training, they were vulnerable in front of the Red Turban Army......
The latter is really not much training.
What training is required to charge with a spear? Just have the courage not to be afraid of death.
The officers and soldiers are nothing more than some three-eyed guns, sharpshooters, bird guns and furlong machines, these things have a limited range and are time-consuming to reload, even if the infantry rushes head-on, they can't hit a few times at all, and those red turban troops who are made to boil by the division of fields are simply fighting to the death and not retreating, no matter what firearms you have, here is a dense array of spears to fight over. The aiming range of dozens of meters of the bird gun is basically pulled down with one shot, even if it can shoot in turns, it is useless, killing a hundred Red Turban Army, and there are a thousand on the opposite side of the tide, and the blade of a spear is directly slashed.
Of course, this is all ideal.
In fact, the standard tactic of the officers and soldiers was to shoot at the opposite side in a daze, and then turn around and run away amid the shouts of the Red Turbans.
There are even those who surrendered.
Even more exaggerated, there are direct battlefield defections.
The only ones who actually fought were the Yixing Tuanlian led by Lu Xiangsheng's three uncles, who had been killed in battle in history instead of farmers, but a bunch of miners from the coal kilns in Niutoushan.
The Lu family is Zhang Zhu's.
It is at the foot of Taihua Mountain where Yang Feng comes from.
Over a few hills is the Niutoushan Coal Mine, the main coal mine in Zhejiang.
At this time, there were already a bunch of small coal kilns.
Then the Lu family knew very well that the tenants in Yixing would definitely defect on the battlefield, so they simply hired miners, and in the end these miners really fought, but it was only a moment, and in the face of the Red Turban Army that seemed to drown the American army, all the miners could do was to escape. In fact, don't talk about them, at this time, even Yang Xin's Swinging Army may not be able to withstand these crazy peasants, and the Swinging Army does not have the momentum of the latter, after all, the Swinging Army has to pay rent, and Yang Xin promised to directly divide the land.
Although he just said it.
In the end, Gu Qiyuan's five-way encirclement and suppression failed miserably, and the Red Turban Army took the opportunity to kill Jiangyin across the Xicheng Canal.
To be precise, they were ushered in.
Yang Xin was not ready to capture Jiangyin, but the problem was that the people of Jiangyin couldn't wait, and after the defeat of the Caoyun army that landed in Jiangyin, the people of Jiangyin did not hesitate to open the city gate, and then erected the red pennant of the Red Turban Army.
In this case, Yang Xin had no choice but to accept it.
Actually, it's not just Jiangyin.
Even Yixing almost won, if it weren't for the Lu brothers, the people who responded to the army in Yixing would have opened the county, even then the Lu brothers were beaten back to the county town to retreat to defense, but they were also a rare highlight in this war.
And the day after Gu Qiyuan's fiasco, the holy decree of the apocalypse was sent to Nanjing.
"How good does this make me!"
Yang Dudu, who had just returned from inspecting the disaster area, looked at the holy decree in his hand and said helplessly.
He actually comes back a lot.
Wujin is no more than a hundred kilometers away from Nanjing, and with his ability, he can basically run here from there in two hours, which is nothing more than riding a horse until the horse is exhausted, and then he will continue to run by himself. This is also the reason why the outside world is full of suspicion that he is Yang Feng, because he often makes brief appearances in Nanjing, and his statement to the outside world is to make private visits to various places to investigate the disaster.
"Uh, don't you want to say anything?"
He went on to say.
In front of him sat Chen Daoheng, the counselor of the Nanjing Military Department, Chang Yinxu, the Nanjing garrison, Li Mingdao, the eunuch of the town guard, and Lu Zhaoxiong, the governor of Fengyang and the governor of Caoyun.
The latter is a native of Xingtai.
The occupation of Wujin by the Red Turban Army was tantamount to breaking the luck.
Because both the canal and the Xicheng Canal, which goes directly to the sea, are now controlled by the Red Turban Army.
But the big guys shut up.
The content of the decree is very simple, with Yang Xin, the governor of Jiangnan and Jiangbei military affairs, and the full authority to deal with the changes in Changzhou, which must be solved before the beginning of spring, and must not affect the luck after the beginning of spring. And the elite of the imperial court is all in Liaodong, the southwest is still in need of garrison suppression, and there is no available army to rescue Jiangnan, Changzhou is a wealthy land, and the hub of Caoyun.
In short, the power is handed over to Yang Xin.
And Yang Xin should try his best to surrender and appease the principle.
Now I understand everything.
The emperor also has a share, even if the emperor did not conspire before, Yang Xin also discussed it with him later, and the monarch and the minister sang a double reed again, and the pair of faint monarchs and traitors became more and more unpopular.
They're having a great time!
Yang Xin frantically played the brand that I am not Yang Xin, turned into Yang Feng, and then instigated the victims to rebel and purge the gentry, and cleaned the gentry, and the emperor came forward to let him be appeased as a minister, this thief shouted that it was really good to catch the thief. Now that the gentry in Wujin are all finished, those who escaped have also lost all the land deeds and IOUs for selling their bodies, and those who did not escape are said to have been persecuted to death, and even the female dependents have been divided.
After Yang Xin went to appease, those original tenant serfs must have become militiamen, and then they got the land, and they were grateful to the emperor, and the emperor changed from collecting one or two buckets of tax per mu to collecting nearly one stone of rent.
The entire Wujin millions of acres of fertile land were all in the hands of the emperor.
They were all overjoyed.
But the souls of those gentry in Wujin are dead!
What kind of emperor is this?
The King of Evil.
What kind of minister is this?
Bring calamity to the country and the people.
Say what?
Nothing to say!
"Yang Dudu, there are gods three feet above his head, people are doing it, the sky is watching, the old man is imprinted here, and the old man is ashamed to be in the same column!"
Chen Daoheng took out the seal box from his arms, slapped it unceremoniously in front of Yang Xin, and got up and left proudly after speaking, the reason why he came over was that he still had the last trace of illusion, if the holy decree of the Apocalypse was to mobilize the army to suppress it harshly, then it meant that the emperor did not know, and the Apocalypse was innocent. But this holy decree completely extinguished all his illusions, but he still thought that the emperor would not be so mediocre, and now he looked completely hopeless, the king of the scum, only the king of the squills could do such a thing.
Competing with the people?
This is as simple as competing with the people for profit, this is completely a bandit killing people and stealing goods.
killed countless old villagers who built bridges and roads, famous families of poetry and books, and then pocketed the land left by their ancestors, what is the difference between this and bandits killing people and stealing goods? If an emperor does such a thing, what qualifications does he have to reign over the world and be the lord of all peoples? This is not an occasional raid, this is a looting, a purge for no reason.
Crazy!
Although Chen Daoheng, who thinks he is a righteous gentleman, can't change anything, he can still do it without being in the same column as these bastards.
"Well, Chen Gong is a little angry!"
Yang Dudu said.
Several others continued to respond with silence.
His true form has long been exposed, no matter how Li Shi and those generals do not admit it, it is already a fact that he is Yang Feng.
"Yang Dudu, both rich and poor, and other nobles and lowly, fight local tyrants, divide the fields, and spend a lot of money, but the lower officials are very curious, and the governor is not afraid of others following suit? It's not easy to extinguish this fire, you better be careful, Yang Dudu seems to have a big family, so you are not afraid of burning yourself one day? ”
Lu Zhaoxiong said with a smile.
"Lu Gong, what you said is very inexplicable, isn't it just a few slogans, just shouting, who will take it seriously?
As for Changzhou, just against Governor Gu's encirclement and suppression, how much army do you think the imperial court has to mobilize and how much food can be spent to wipe out those red turban troops?
Besides, there is a reason for this, as far as I know, it was the Wujin gentry who first instigated the people to besiege Jinyiwei to cause a civil uprising, which gave that Yang Feng an opportunity to take advantage of, to say that this crime, but Wujin These gentry are to blame, if they don't first encourage the people to besiege Jinyiwei, how can they set themselves on fire? In other words, the word Lu Gong is used quite vividly, Li Gonggong, what do you say? ”
Yang Xin said.
"Yes, yes, what the governor said is right!"
Li Mingdao hurriedly expressed his position.
Yang Xin nodded with satisfaction.
"As for the people, naturally they still have to be appeased, which is also Your Majesty's mercy, let's just do what Your Majesty says as courtiers.
Yang will go for a trip tomorrow in person.
Let's see if you can tell those rebellious people to lay down their arms, saying that now it is almost the first month, and this spring luck has begun, which must not be delayed, if you continue to fight, delay the luck, then the capital will be hungry, and the soldiers of the nine sides will be hungry. ”
He went on to say.
Lu Zhaoxiong sneered, also stood up and brushed his sleeves away.
What else can I do now?
If Gu Qiyuan can recapture Changzhou, he can naturally ignore the holy decree and directly suppress these rebellious and rebellious people in Changzhou, but the problem is that Gu Qiyuan was defeated miserably. Although they are because of Yang Xin, the other roads are really defeated by the Red Turban Army, and in the final analysis, they still have to use their strength to speak, and if they can't beat others, everything is in vain. The apocalypse is not to transfer troops, Yang Xin just does not move, it is estimated that they can let the Red Turban Army enter Suzhou, in this case, they can only sacrifice the Wujin gentry, and they are finished.
There's no need to do too much for a bunch of dead people.
Besides, Yang Xin has already expressed his attitude, he just wants this small place, he is not ready to stretch out his hand to other places, since this is the case, so be it, in the end, the Wujin gentry is also to blame, who do you provoke is not good to provoke this thief, who is he Don't you have a point in your heart?
Hit him in the face and hit him very happily.
Now he is also to blame for being killed.
"This is still full of sage books, and I don't understand the overall situation at all, so it's better than us rough people."
Yang Dudu said disdainfully.
Chang Yinxu smiled awkwardly across from him.
