Yang Dudu's 5,000-strong army poured out of Nanjing, boarded a ship and went straight to Jiangyin, landed early the next morning, and then began their wild run.

Arrive in Suzhou after a day and night.

"Governor Gu, have you been sitting back and watching until today?"

Yang Xin looked at the crowd of people outside Zhou's mansion and asked Gu Qiyuan, the governor of Yingtian beside him.

Nearly 20,000 people have been in the area for four days, and they are still in light snow, and they are supposed to work in shifts, some of them are responsible for blocking the streets outside, and some are waiting in the houses in the area. The people outside are all setting up tents, one by one sitting on a small horse, just like the aunt in front of the sales office, there are constantly people in the middle of the water and food, and they are also eating big meat buns, I have to say that this investment is also very large.

Among them is the Zhou Shunchang family.

Yang Huan took two hundred soldiers, originally thinking of taking Zhou Shunchang to Nanjing, while leaving the soldiers to control the Zhou Mansion, but then he didn't expect the righteous people of Suzhou to give them this hand.

No fighting, no scolding, no trouble.

It's just not allowed to come out, and as soon as you come out, the dense human wall here is blocked.

"Yang Dudu, have the people broken the law?"

Gu Qiyuan said.

He is a native of Jiangning County, Yingtianfu.

"It's not a crime to besiege Jinyiwei?"

Yang Xin said.

"In the eyes of the lower officials, this is not counted, the people are just gathering here, and they are not armed to make trouble, which of the Ming laws prohibits the people from gathering in a certain place with their bare hands, not to mention that these people are all good citizens who are safe and protect themselves, what is wrong with people getting together in their own homes? At least the lower officials have rummaged through the Daming Law, and they have not seen this one, when the miners of the Xishan Mountains in the capital were still gathered outside the Chengtian Gate, and the temple did not issue an order to send troops to suppress it, since the temple did not take such incidents as a crime, then the lower officials naturally did not need to care. ”

Gu Qiyuan said.

Yang Xin looked at him deeply.

Gu Qiyuan responded with a smile.

"Yang Dudu, you are not ready to use force to kill civilians, if the governor dares to do this, the lower officials will fight to the death, and they will fight with the governor to the end, the lower officials are the governor of the heavens, and they have the responsibility of protecting the people, even if the governor cannot arbitrarily kill the innocent people under the rule of the lower officials."

He said.

Several generals next to him trembled.

This is to push them out, but they can't afford to mess with either side!

The governor of Ying Tian is the commander of military affairs!

The full name of this title is the Prime Minister's Grain Reserve, the Admiral Military Affairs and the Governor Yingtian's Mansion, but the station is Suzhou.

At this time, Yang Huan and the others inside tried to rush out again, and the people who were originally sitting immediately stood up and rushed forward, and the gate of the Zhou Mansion disappeared from Yang Xin's field of vision, and the front was completely like an ocean of heads, and in the crowd, the scolding of those soldiers came faintly.

Yang Huan didn't dare to kill.

These ordinary people are all bare-handed, and the nature of his daring to kill has changed.

"You want to play non-violent non-cooperation!"

Yang Xin said.

"Non-violent non-cooperation? The word Governor is a good one, but what does Governor think? They were innocent people, bare-handed, without any weapons, and the governor did bring 5,000 troops, but as long as one of the governor's soldiers was wounded, the commander promised to order the army of Suzhou to block it by force.

Ah, the governor can try to incite them by dividing the land as he did when he was in Wuxi, but the lower officials need to explain that these are no peasants, they are all mechanics, they rely on the gentry to supply cotton, rely on the gentry to buy cotton yarn and cotton cloth, everything they do depends on the gentry, and even they have to rely on buying grain from the gentry for food.

But alas, they are not farmers. ”

Gu Qiyuan said.

It can be seen that he is quite proud, this bureau should be set up by him, and then rely on those factory owners to achieve it for him, as for the purpose, of course, it is not simply to protect Zhou Shunchang.

The latter is not as important as that.

They just took this opportunity to defeat Yang Xin once and boost their morale, the two sides have fought for so many years, Donglin Qunxian has not won once, they are really unwilling, not to mention that they have failed again and again, they have failed for so many years, and they have a fear of Yang in their own ......

It's true.

As soon as Yang Xin appeared, he all withered.

That's not going to work.

They desperately need a victory, a win that will lift them up internally, even if it's just one.

However......

"I'm not going to give you victory, even once!"

Yang Dudu said with a smile.

Gu Qiyuan made a gesture of please.

Yang Xin glanced at him, and then stepped forward and took the horn from his subordinates at the same time.

"I'll count three times, and those who don't disperse will be killed!"

He shouted with a trumpet.

At the same time, the soldiers behind him all picked up their bamboo crossbows, and then pointed their crossbow arrows in front of them.

The mechanics in front of them looked at them in disbelief, and it was clear that they were also starting to be afraid. The first few eyes turned to Gu Qiyuan, and of course, the local gentry behind Gu Qiyuan.

However, the latter's calm appearance still gave them courage, and as Gu Qiyuan said, these mechanics are completely dependent on the gentry, and they have no other choice, the gentry control the supply of raw materials and sales channels, control the food supply, and the mechanics can only listen to them, this city that has completely entered the industrial age has also been completely controlled by these primary capitalists.

They are the masters of the city.

"What are you afraid of, do they still dare to kill?"

An old countryman shouted behind Gu Qiyuan.

The mechanics finally suppressed their fear of escaping, and continued to look at Yang Xin and his crossbowmen with nervous eyes, who were still firmly aimed at them.

"One!"

Yang Xin's shout rang out.

"General Liu, let your subordinates prepare, who dares to kill innocent people here, all of them will be killed, this is the old man's order, the old man is responsible for something, don't be afraid of anything, we are defending the innocent people.!"

Gu Qiyuan said.

An officer beside him sadly wiped the cold sweat from the winter on his face, then bowed to Yang Dudu, and then waved his hand at the subordinates next to him with a resolute face, who immediately picked up the bird gun in his hand, blew the fire rope, and aimed at Yang Xin's soldiers from the side, and the muzzles of hundreds of bird guns were aimed at these crossbowmen.

More of the crossbowmen's companions arrived and aimed their crossbows at the officers and soldiers......

"Two!"

Yang Xin said.

At the same time he raised his hand!

"Folks, don't be afraid, they don't dare, you are unarmed."

The fellow shouted.

"Folks, don't be afraid of these eunuch eagle dogs!"

"Yes, they don't dare to kill!"

……

The mechanics also shouted.

Yang Xin looked at Gu Qiyuan with a smile.

The latter's face changed.

"Three!"

Yang Xin said.

Almost at the same time his hand fell.

The front row of soldiers did not hesitate to pull the trigger, and with the sound of the bowstring, one after another crossbow arrows flew forward, instantly landing among the mechanics, piercing into their bodies, and the next moment the screams immediately rang out.

"Fire!"

Gu Qiyuan roared desperately.

But......

He looked at the officer and his men in amazement.

The latter no one dared to move.

"Open fire, one person will be rewarded with one hundred taels for opening fire!"

The old squire screamed like a breakdown.

But still no one fired.

Both the officers and the soldiers were there trembling, watching the crossbowmen's shots but not daring to make any moves.

At this moment, the crossbowmen who had finished shooting quickly retreated, and the second row of crossbowmen stepped forward, and then pulled the trigger again, and by this time the mechanics in front had collapsed, screaming and desperately fleeing to the courtyard walls on both sides, and then crowding each other and trampling to climb the walls. The screams of the crossbow arrows among them, and the trampled ones, rolled in the stone streets with blood on their bodies, and the whole scene was in apocalyptic despair and panic.

Then the third row of crossbowmen stepped forward.

But these didn't shoot, they just took aim with a crossbow.

"Why do you always think I can't kill?"

Yang Xin looked at Gu Qiyuan and said.

The latter was already completely stupid, stunned as he looked at the plan that collapsed in an instant in front of him, he had carefully designed and arranged it, and before Yang Xin shouted the third word, he clearly saw the plan of hope for success, and it collapsed in an instant. Not only him, but the local officials and gentry behind him were all watching this scene in amazement, and the old squire broke down and tore at the officer, who and his soldiers still did not dare to move.

They really didn't dare.

These are just the garrisons of Taicang, they are indeed under the control of the Heavenly Governor, but the Ying Heavenly Governor does not have the sword of Shang Fang, at most they will be removed from their posts, but Yang Dudu can really ask for their heads.

As for the silver......

What is the use of silver that is destined to be spent?

Yang Xin walked over directly, carrying the old countryman by the neck and dragging him over, the latter struggled and screamed, but he couldn't get rid of it at all, so he was dragged directly in front of the crossbowmen.

Stand in front of those screaming mechanics.

"This old gentleman, please stand up."

Yang Xin said.

The old countryman's legs trembled, and behind them were hundreds of screaming mechanics, and all the other mechanics who had gathered had all fled, and Yang Huan escorted Zhou Shunchang out of the gate of the Zhou Mansion in the distance.

Lao Xiangxian raised his head and looked at Yang Xin blankly......

"Don't look at me, look ahead!"

Yang Xin said to him like a photographer taking ID photos.

Then he held his head and let him face the crossbowman in front of him, the old countryman was completely stupid at this time, like a puppet at his mercy, and Yang Xin also sorted out his clothes and crown as if he was tidying up his remains, and then nodded with satisfaction, just supported him, looked his eyes at the twenty crossbows opposite, and then squatted down behind him......

"Four!"

Yang Xin said.

The crossbowman on the opposite side immediately pulled the trigger.

Twenty bolts pierced the old squire's body in an instant, and before he could even scream, his spine was severed by a bolt piercing his neck......
