Dongyang Painting Creek.

"Mada, a false alarm!"

Yang Huan stood on the heavily loaded boat and breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the crowd in the distance.

Although it was inevitable that he would be besieged, abused, and even thrown cabbage, no one dared to openly attack Jinyiwei after all.

Fortunately, he is used to it.

That's basically how he spends his days these days.

In fact, he also understands that as long as there is no militia, those gentry will not lose their minds, and it is not a big deal to simply copy a house, but this place in Dongyang is still special, and this area is the most simple folk customs in Zhejiang, after all, the Qi family army is from this area. Including the countryside he just left, the core of the Qi family army came from Yiwu Chi'an, less than twenty miles away from where he was at the moment, and during the Jiajing period, thousands of people died in a fight for silver mines, which is enough to prove the simplicity of the people here.

Arresting people in this kind of place, and also arresting local dignitaries, he is also afraid.

"Why do they dare to rebel after worrying too much?

The humble position is understood, these big families are like that, scaring people they have the guts, and they really retract it all, we have copied so many homes these days, aren't they all bluffing, and in the end they still watch us arrest people and raid their homes?

But this Xu family doesn't have much oil and water!

Anyway, he is also a deputy envoy of the judge, and there is a brother who is a scholar, there are only tens of thousands of two properties, this place is still poor, look at the Wen family copied millions at once, that is the family. ”

The subordinate next to him said with some dissatisfaction.

They did copy millions of dollars from Wen Zhen Meng's family, after all, it was also Wen Zhengming's family.

In fact, none of them was less than hundreds of thousands of them in the previous ones, and these families on the east bank of Taihu Lake have been inherited for hundreds of years, and they have been rich for hundreds of years. As long as there are 10,000 acres of fertile land, the annual rent alone is more than 20,000 taels, after all, their land rent is usually more than one stone and a half per acre of land, and this is one season, according to the current grain price in the south of the Yangtze River, 10,000 acres of fertile land is really casually more than 20,000 taels a year.

But in fact, the Suzhou gentry did not rely on the land at all.

In a city where half the city is made up of weavers, who would make a living from farming?

But Xu Du's family property is indeed not much, a total of less than 100,000 yuan, he originally had a history because the magistrate deliberately blamed and asked for a bribe of 10,000 yuan, and also said that he hid Wu Changshi's family property of 100,000 taels, just when his mother died of illness, tens of thousands of friends from all over the country will be buried, some people saw this momentum and took the opportunity to falsely accuse him of rebellion, and the magistrate was dizzy and sent troops to arrest him. As a result, Feng Longyou and Dai Facong fought with the officers and soldiers in order to protect him, and of course they couldn't stop it when they reached this point, so they simply played the banner of punishing corrupt officials, quickly controlled Dongyang, Yiwu and surrounded Jinhua.

It happened that Zhu Dadian was at home.

His son and Xu were both good friends, and they went out of the city to negotiate the withdrawal of Xudu.

After that, it was the encirclement and suppression of the official army, Chen Zilong was the commander of the encirclement and suppression, he and Xu Du were both reinstated, Xu Du simply asked him to surrender, saying that he was willing to serve the country, and he also tried to maintain it.

However, in order to cover up the fact that Xu Du was forced to rebel and conceal the fact that he actually surrendered, he forcibly beheaded him and more than 60 people who surrendered at the same time.

However, in the final analysis, the whole ** is actually a continuation of the party struggle.

The key to Xu Du's rebellion is actually his relationship with Wu Changshi, or the political enemies of Wu Changshi and Zhou Yanru in the DPRK and China, who chased and beat these cronies outside, especially Xu Du was actually the hope of mastering military power in the Fushe at that time. His tens of thousands of friends were all supported by Chen Zilong, He Gang, and Xu Fuyuan, who were ready to form a regimental training, and He Gang had already recommended him to Chongzhen in the capital before he started his army.

Even when Chongzhen saw his name, he had already raised troops.

Therefore, in this matter, it is difficult for future generations to know whether there are those political enemies who know all this, deliberately provoke him to rebel, and then clear this force that can be said to be the restoration of the society, but a magistrate is indeed a bit unreasonable to frame and persecute a nephew of a former military department Shangshu in this way.

Especially Zuo Guangxian's behavior of killing him in a hurry afterwards is also a little abnormal.

"This kind of place can have tens of thousands of taels or less! There are only so many fields in the whole Dongyang, and the land in the entire Dongyang County is not as much as Dong Qichang's family, even if the Xu family is a family, how much can the Xu family be, not to mention that the number one family in Dongyang is the Wang family, and it is not his turn to be the Xu family. ”

Yang Huan said.

As he spoke, the boat under his feet entered the forest.

Behind them, dozens of the same boats, carrying the Xu family's property and men, lined up in a long winding line in this picturesque river, ready to pass through the mountains and forests for more than 20 miles, and then entered the Dongyang River to continue the journey down the river.

Soon they entered a canyon.

Because the sun is in the west, the whole canyon is dark.

"Slow down, don't drag too far!"

Yang Huan said vigilantly.

At the same time, a small boat came downstream.

A captain propped up the boat and sang a song, slowly coming on the not wide river.

Yang Huan looked at him vigilantly, pressed his hands on the grips of the two short guns, and slowly pulled them out as he approached, but the man obviously ignored him, and the two boats kept closing the distance, and a woman in the canopy could be seen sitting with her back to this side.

Yang Huan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's nothing if you have a woman.

Soon the ship and his seat staggered by.

"Madamn, I'm about to be scared out of illness!"

He said mockingly.

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the fleet behind him, but at the moment he turned his head, the woman in the cabin also raised her head, and an ugly face that made him lose his mind instantly came into view, and this face was still smiling at him, showing a mouth full of big yellow teeth......

"Enemy attack!"

Yang Huan suddenly exclaimed.

At the same time, fire erupted beneath that ugly face.

At the moment when Yang Huan pulled the trigger with both hands of the short gun, with the recoil of the bullet, he fell backwards into the river at once, and before he could fall, he felt a hard blow to his chest, and in his field of vision, it was the subordinate whose face was splashed with blood and flesh by the bullet. Immediately after Yang Huan fell into the river, he sank directly to the bottom of the water after being unable to recover from the impact of the bullet, but he was not really injured, he was the same as his uncle, it was soft armor made of raw silk and the same additional steel plate, and the bullet hit the steel plate just right.

It was a turtledove.

But not with one bullet, but with three, like small artillery.

In this way, the power is very weak, and it is okay to fight without protection, but there is no armor-piercing ability.

The river of early spring woke him up all of a sudden, and he hurriedly jumped upward, but the next moment a smoking thing appeared in his field of vision.

The ball, which was larger than a fist, swirled on the deck with a jet of fire.

"Holy shit!"

Yang Huan scolded angrily.

Then he sank as fast as he could, and the next moment the explosion hit his eardrums with the smoke of gunpowder.

And in his instantaneous flashing vision, a stream of gunpowder smoke erupted from the green of the mountain forest on the right bank, and then he sank back into the water, thanks to his uncle's water training of Jinyiwei, he held his breath underwater and desperately swam downstream, until he couldn't hold it anymore before resurfacing, and then turned his head to look behind him. Behind him was already a battlefield, and a large number of ambushes poured out of the mountains and forests on the right bank, and even set up turtledoves on the shore to block the flotilla behind them with dense bullets.

And that small boat was crashing into the second ship.

With the fire of the grenade explosion, the soldiers on the boat jumped into the river.

The same soldiers who reacted on the boat behind also took out their muskets and began to fire back, just now the big yellow tooth held a grenade, and just wanted to throw it with an excited face, but was hit by a bullet and fell, the grenade happened to fall on his own ship, the captain was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped down, and then the ship exploded, and even the remaining grenades inside were blown away, exploding in mid-air with a ball of flames.

In the smoke of gunfire, the soldiers resisted.

He was actually carrying a loyal army, that is, Zhaoyi's original Red Turban Army, and these soldiers were directly transferred from there to follow, and these soldiers were brave enough that even a few who fell into the water were swimming to the shore, ready to counterattack the enemy's musketeers.

"Fight back, ...... these anti-thieves"

Yang Huan roared excitedly.

Suddenly, he felt something strange behind him, and he turned back in amazement before he finished shouting.

Three slightly larger ships were side by side behind them, each with a black hole in the bow of the gun, on the deck of the nearest ship, a young man looked at him coldly, and at the same time the arquebus with the ignition rod in his hand entered the muzzle of a medium-sized Furlong machine, and the next moment the flames erupted, and a cannonball whistled past Yang Huan's head, and suddenly hit an official ship, and the two soldiers who were returning fire immediately fell in the splash of broken wood.

And at the same time, the same furlong machine on the other two ships spewed flames.

In the whistling of the cannonball, the young man reached out and took the short gun from his companion's hand, aimed it at the stunned Yang Huan and pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit Yang Huan in the chest......

"Jin Yiwei, Jin Yiwei can't be killed?"

Xu Du sneered.

Yang Huan in front of him was half-sunk face down in the river, floating past him.

At this time, the official ship that was blocked in front had already docked, and the soldiers on the ship abandoned the ship and landed on the shore, and then hid in the mountains and forests on the other side, after all, there were many people on the side of Xudu, in fact, there were nearly a thousand people ambushed in the mountains and forests, and this ambush meant that the local gentry must know. Moreover, even the Francophone is on board, and the loyal and brave army, which has a total of more than 300 people, can only choose to rout, they are just here to capture people, and it is not a battle to defend their homeland.

"Bring the money and retreat!"

Xu Du shouted as he looked at the men in front of him who had begun to occupy the official ships.

He didn't notice that at this time, Yang Huan, who had already drifted to the back, raised his head with extreme speed, took a deep breath, and then pretended to be dead again.
