Chapter 416: The Battle of the Classes

More than 300 human heads, and the bones of Jin Zhijun who were sent back after Ling Chi finished......

He should have been crushed and ashes burned.

But it was difficult for those gentry to feel too intuitively, so Yang Dudu kept his skeleton very carefully, and then transported it back to Suzhou to swagger through the city and let his family collect his body.

This one works great.

The officials and gentry of Suzhou immediately sobered up after admiring the bloody skeleton.

Moreover, the regimental training on the Huishan front refused to continue the attack, no matter how the gentry agitated, those regimental training who received salaries refused to continue the attack, they didn't want Yang Dudu to cut off his head, and they actually didn't have the ability to continue the attack, in fact, the Wuxi side also turned to the defense again. Fortunately, there are those militia areas lying there as a barrier, otherwise the Red Turban Army would have come to Wuxi, where there is not much regimental training, mainly the recruits urgently recruited by Deputy General Wu Song and the military households recruited by the guards.

They are even more imminent.

Moreover, those generals were afraid of angering Yang Dudu, so they cut them down too.

As for Jiangyin......

Jiangyin is still in the midst of a fierce battle.

"It's also a Hongyi cannon!"

Yang Xin stood on his dragon boat and looked at Jiangyin City in front of him with interest.

The army attacking here is not under his command, he is indeed the governor's military affairs, but there is also a Caoyun governor on the opposite side, who also has military power, and Lu Zhaoxiong used the Red Turban Army to block Caoyun as a reason, directly collected the Caoyun army from Jiangbei, plus the gentry in Taixing, eastern Jiangyin, Nantong and other places urgently put together a mess of armed forces, launched a fierce attack on Jiangyin.

Even the Hongyi cannon was used.

The 5,000 Red Turban Army and the militia in the city held Jiangyin.

In the rumbling cannon, ten Hongyi cannons continued to spray flames, and one by one the shells whistled through the sky in the smoke of gunpowder, and collapsed one by one on the brick-covered city wall. Collapsed bricks and rammed earth piled up a wide ramp beneath the ramps, and the remaining section of the rampart at the top of the ramp was crumbling.

This scene is like the bloody battle more than 20 years later in history.

Both armies inside and outside the city waited.

However, the combat effectiveness of the gentry who were forced out still surprised Yang Xin.

This Hongyi cannon is already very proficient.

Also, the equipment level of the group drills is also excellent, the proportion of bird guns, turtle doves and the like is very high, and the green insects who command them are obviously not weak, and the weapons are not unusual, because Xu Guangqi has always controlled the Ministry of Industry, and the arms procurement must be turned to this side in large quantities. In addition, the opening of Songjiang Port has shown the rudiments of a trade center, and the gathering of materials from all over the country has also allowed the industry there to begin to develop, including the manufacture of munitions.

The high-quality steel smelted in Wuhu was transported to Songjiang, where the factories were turned into muskets and cannons, and then sold to compradors in the Ministry of Industry, led by Xu Sun and others, which was already an industry that many people looked up to.

And the main competition with them was the iron works in Hejian, which were developed in the construction of the three major halls.

There is also Foshan.

Then there is Yang Xin's Gegu factory.

Daming is forming four private military-industrial groups.

Therefore, the cannons and muskets in the hands of these regiments are not uncommon, and the quality is very good, after all, they still have strong competitors, Xu Guangqi does control the Ministry of Industry, but behind the Hejian Iron Factory is 9,000 years old, behind the Gegu Factory is Yang Dudu, and Foshan Iron Factory......

The iron factories in Foshan do not compete in the north, but they are still the most popular among the people.

But just being well equipped was not enough for Yang Xin to feel the change of the gentry, and it was surprising that the green worms who commanded the regiment had a little military level.

"Who commanded these regimental exercises?"

He said curiously.

"Back to the governor, Jiangyin Tuanlian is actually organized by the gentry who escaped, led by Xu Xiake of the Xu family, the Xu family is the Jiangyin family, Xu Xia's family alone has 5,000 acres of paddy fields, their Xu family is in Zhutang, and naturally they are desperate to block the Red Turban Army. As for the Taixing group training, it was organized by the gentry from all over Taizhou, headed by Zhu Changyuan, the son of Zhu Yifeng, the governor of Fujian, and the Tongzhou group training was actually a patchwork of gentry from Tongzhou, Haimen, Chongming and other places, headed by Shen Tingyang, a supervisor of Chongming, and the Hongyi cannon was brought by him from Songjiang, and it is said that there were also Xiyi artillery officers. ”

Li Zhong behind him said.

"They're all young people!"

Yang Dudu said with emotion.

It was clear that he had burned a bunch of acquaintances.

But the latter is also very helpless, who let him light a fire in someone's hometown.

Especially Xu Xiake, who is a good traveler and is pursuing poetry and distance, he has to destroy other people's ideals.

The Xu family is in Zhutang!

Twenty or thirty miles away from the front line, just like the distance between Plug Yinxi's house and the bridge is only ten miles, if people don't stand up and resist desperately, will they let him divide the land? He divided Xu Xia's Hakka family's 5,000 acres of paddy fields, how could Xu Xiake still pursue poetry and distance? Not only his family, but his brother's family has more land, after his great-great-grandfather Xu Jing and Tang Bohu were imprisoned together, the Xu family's industry was not affected at all, and when he died, he left Xu Xiake's great-ancestor with more than 12,000 acres of fertile land, which was passed on to Xu Xiake's generation and the brothers were divided into two.

Later, after Xu Xiake's death, his family was eaten by tenants during the Battle of Jiangyin.

If he does not resist now, then it is estimated that he will not have to wait for another twenty years, and I am afraid that in two days, the tenants and serfs of the Xu family will have to eat his family's large household and divide his family's 5,000 acres of paddy fields.

At that time, I was still chasing the poetry of a fart and the distance.

It was difficult for his four wives to eat.

As for Zhu Changyuan, who originally organized the rescue of the rebel army in Jiangbei during the Battle of Jiangyin in history, needless to say that Shen Tingyang was left, of course this kind of loyal and righteous people had to stand up at this time, and more importantly, they were behind Xu Xiake and these people, and if they didn't solve the Red Turban Army, those tenants and serfs in their hometown land behind them would also take this as an example.

They are all people who understand.

At this time, they must stand up, they are not defending the country, but their everything, but the power that they continue to override the grass-people, and they continue to override the grass-roots people for generations.

It's a class war.

Yang Xin just watched quietly.

In the muffled sound of cannons, suddenly a cannonball hit the top of the city wall, and with the splash of rammed earth, the wreckage of the last section of the city wall that had been supported collapsed violently.

The drums of the attack suddenly sounded.

The group trainers who were waiting in formation, holding shields and carrying knives, surged forward like a tide.

"Give me clothes!"

Yang Xin said.

It's clear he's going to take on a different role.

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

Li Zhong said suddenly.

Yang Xin immediately turned his head, and saw a red banner behind him, and the surging red turban army and militia, with a sweeping momentum, quickly covered the field that was still in the cold winter.

The regimental exercises that were attacking Jiangyin immediately stopped.

With the waving of flags behind them, all the officers and regiments besieging Jiangyin hurriedly lined up, and even those Hongyi cannons turned their muzzles, and soon the two sides entered less than a mile, at this time Yang Xin didn't bother to change any more clothes, he continued to watch the battle there. He needs a battle to teach the gentry a hard lesson, just like the Yixing group training is obedient now, if the group training here is defeated again, then it is estimated that the surrounding gentry will be obedient next.

As for the thousands of people who died......

Then die, no bloody battle will not solve the problem after all.

Peace has always been fought.

Under his gaze, the officers and regiments quickly formed a defensive formation, and even those Hongyi cannons began to fire at the Red Turban Army.

The whistling shells immediately hit the Red Turbans.

But the latter did not stop at all, they already had some combat experience, all of them were in a battalion and a spear formation, because of the lack of training, the formation was chaotic, especially in the wild run, it was impossible to maintain, in fact, it was a gang composed of countless spearmen. They don't have any long-range weapons, although they do have crossbows and bows, and even a lot of captured muskets, but on the opposite side is the Hongyi cannon, and the long-range weapons can compare to this? is to rush head-on with a spear, which is also the most skilled, if not the only skillful tactic of the Red Turban Army.

They were a group of hastily armed peasants.

They don't understand anything else.

They don't know exactly how to fight.

But they have the courage to defend their land and face death as if they were home, and they are not afraid of death, because they can die in exchange for a better life for future generations.

So they don't need to understand anything else.

They knew that they would rush at full speed with their spears, and that no matter how many people they were fighting with shells or bows and arrows, they would continue to rush alive no matter how many people fell around them.

Shouting and moving forward.

Yang Xin silently watched the red turban soldiers who shouted bravely in the splash of flesh and blood from the impact of the cannonballs, no one stopped, no one flinched, no one fled, everyone's spears pointed forward, facing the muzzle of the flames and marched forward. The Hongyi cannon couldn't stop them, and the Hongyi cannon, which was one round a minute, had to be replaced with shotguns after only two rounds, and the gunners were already running away after the shotguns were fired, and the Furlong gunners who fired two rounds of shotguns were also fleeing.

Then there is the turtledove.

After a round of fighting, the turtledove player did not hesitate to flee.

Then there were the Bird Guns, more than two thousand bird guns in a volley, and after the fight, they still ran away because they didn't have time to reload.

And then there are cold weapons......

There were no cold weapons, and the cold weapons soldiers in the back fled with the bird gunslingers.

Behind them were like boundless spears, accompanied by a roar that resounded through the sky, the 20,000 Red Turban Army was like a raging raging wave, charging more than 500 meters in less than three minutes, and then instantly overwhelmed them in the rout of the officers and regiments......

"Fighting a war is sometimes easy."

Yang Xin said.

Behind him, Li Zhong looked at this scene with shocked eyes.

"Don't be afraid of death!"

Yang Xin then said.
