"Yang Sichang, what do you want to do?"

"Dutang spares his life!"

……

The officials came to their senses in an instant, and then there was chaos, angrily reprimanding Yang Sichang, kneeling down to him and begging for mercy, and some desperately trying to push away the soldiers and escape. But these are meaningless, more soldiers poured in at the staircase, these wolf-like soldiers were Yang Sichang's own soldiers, one by one like catching chickens to hold these officials down, while those on the other side who chose the right one were trembling and wiping cold sweat on their heads......

It's scary!

This is a ghost door closed and stepped out!

They really didn't expect Yang Sichang to play like this, saying that this year's popularity lures snakes out of the hole, Yang Xin plays like this, Yang Sichang actually plays like this, their old Yang family is all a raccoon dog.

"Why bother?"

Chen Qiyu sighed.

He had already guessed the outcome.

Anyway, he can also enter the scope of the pillars of the Ming Dynasty evaluated by King Zhennan, and after working with Yang Sichang for so long, he has long understood Yang Dutang's style of acting, cunning as a fox and cruel as a wolf, and more importantly, he is very sensible and knows how to be an official, and he completely belongs to the kind of traitor of folklore.

Such a person will fight for the gentry?

Joke!

Yang Dutang, who is known for his love of throwing pots, is not this kind of character at all!

What's more, Min Mengde is still so high-profile.

The land of the Min family was indeed divided, but the Min family did not make a fortune on the land, Min Mengde, the power of the Min Hongxue brothers is the guarantee of wealth and nobility, he served as a governor in Yunnan for five years from his brother, and a large part of Yunnan's trade was controlled in his hands. And the most important material for trade is the tin sold to the Yang family, and their family and the Yang family do not know how much business cooperation.

Do they pour Yang?

Not doing such a big business?

Don't want the Min family to have such a big industry in their hometown?

Wouldn't it be better for them to give Yang Xin the heads of these officials in exchange for greater wealth than following King Fu on the belt of his head?

But......

It's really cruel.

"If it is not for iron-blooded means, there will eventually be people who have a fluke heart, involving tens of millions of officials and people in the two provinces, at this time, there must be no woman's kindness, this generation is actually insignificant, those gentry around the country are, what they are afraid of is that if someone has a fluke heart, they will raise troops to respond to Luoyang without authorization. If this is the case, those Diao people will inevitably take the opportunity to cause chaos, and then spread outward, and more Diao people will swarm, then the situation will really be completely eroded.

We can't secure our land, but if we can't keep it, we still have silver and others, but once we mess up, don't talk about this, even our lives may not be saved.

At this time, the most important thing is to use iron-blooded means to deter the unwilling gentry everywhere.

They must die!

It was their dead bodies that made the gentry really give up their unrealistic illusions.

If the gentry don't move, the people naturally don't dare to move! ”

Min Mengde patted Chen Qiyu on the shoulder and said.

At this time, the two soldiers had already set up an official and walked to the window, and then directly pushed him out, saying that this is the fifth floor, this kind of building itself is high, and the window is more than 20 meters away from the bottom, but the river is not below, but a flat and hard cement floor, of course, no matter what it is, it is a dead end.

The officer went crazy and grabbed the wooden frames on both sides and fought with the soldiers......

"Yang Sichang, you don't want your family's land anymore?"

He screamed.

"Idiot, I don't even know what is the most important thing in my own hands, as long as I have the power in my hands, that little bit of land is a fart!"

An official next to him who had chosen the right one said disdainfully.

The official was stunned for a moment.

"I'm so stupid, really!"

He muttered to himself.

But at this time, it was too late to wake up, and the two soldiers behind did not hesitate to grab his legs and throw them out, he screamed and rolled out of the window, but his hands still grabbed the window, and the two soldiers directly pulled out their short guns and smashed them on his hands with the handle of the gun.

"Ahh

His screams of despair rang out instantly.

Then his hands finally let go, and he fell with a long scream......

"Send these rebel corpses to various places for display, and then there are those who collude with the rebel party to betray Your Majesty, this is their fate, order all the troops of the imperial camp to withdraw from the front and be stationed in various places, and those who are in chaos will be killed, we are all Your Majesty's courtiers, and those who know are only loyal to Your Majesty. We are all ministers guarding the frontier, we don't anticipate internal affairs, as long as it is Your Majesty's holy decree, we have to listen, no matter what Your Majesty wants to do, we can only obey the decree, always thinking about our own selfish interests, is it a loyal minister? ”

Yang Sichang said slowly.

At the same time as he said this, the second hapless official was also thrown out.

In the weeping of the third officer, the others, who had made the right choice, did not hesitate to bow to His Excellency the Governor to show their loyalty to His Majesty.

Yang Sichang nodded with satisfaction.

He is not stupid, he is an absolutely smart person, what is the most important thing about being an official? Is it the land at home? No, the land is not important to them, the power in their hands is really the most important, as long as they still have power in their hands, whether it is land or silver, they can have as much as they want. He has some friendship with the king of Zhennan, and the king of Zhennan also appreciates him, this is a fact, Yang Xin appreciates him, Yang Sichang is indeed notorious, but his ability is definitely in the forefront of several ministers in the late Ming Dynasty.

He's not a good guy.

Especially that infamous sentence, which can be said to nail him to the pillar of shame in history.

However, he is definitely more capable than 99 percent of the officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Xin has always appreciated him, although he is not as good as Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, but at least he thinks that he is a capable minister, so even if the king of Zhennan is in power in the future, he will not treat him badly.

He is also well aware of this.

What is the land?

Asking for land is nothing more than to be able to earn money.

But as long as he still has power in his hands, it's not easy to get the silver?

In this way, Yang Sichang used fifty-two corpses that had fallen to death as his reply to King Fu, and immediately after the imperial camp troops that had been on the front line to guard Yang Xin's subordinates withdrew, they quickly separated and stationed in Huguang and Jiangxi's prefectures and even counties. Although those gentry scolded him bloody, no one dared to move, in fact, they were just unwilling in their hearts, if they really wanted them to raise troops to respond to Hongguang, they didn't have the courage, they were not those gentry in the north after all.

Land does matter.

But without land doesn't mean you can't get by.

Especially the prosperity of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the past two years, the current situation of the gentry who lost their land and had to turn to industry and commerce with all their strength is enough to keep the gentry of these two provinces sane.

I can't beat it anymore!

Yang Sichang's methods were a little cruel, but what he did was really right!

He seemed to raise his hand to surrender to Yang Xin, but in fact, he really kept the gentry of the two provinces!

"That's the smart guy!"

King Zhennan was satisfied with Yang Sichang's secret recital.

This was sent by sea to Nanjing's communication ship, and Yang Sichang sent this secret music to Nanjing immediately after he started it, and Nanjing's communication ship took only three days to send it to Dagukou, and it was actually only four days after Yang Sichang threw those officials down the Suojiang Tower, and it is estimated that even Luoyang's Hongguang did not know the news that Yang Sichang had abandoned him at this moment.

"Go tell Hong Chengchou, it's up to him for the rest!"

Yang Xin handed the fold to his subordinates beside him.

It's time to close the net.

Yang Xin was waiting for Yang Sichang's choice before.

Except for him, no one else is worth mentioning.

Min Yue doesn't care about it at all, they won't mix it up if they are idle.

In the past two years, the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong are enjoying their happy time, after the previous crusade against Manila, the combined fleet landed in Saigon and formally established a colony in Saigon, although the maritime trade was indeed forcibly included in the Nanyang Company, but the problem is that the Nanyang Company does not care about the land, and the trade of the countries along the way into the interior is casually played.

In the past, security had to be considered, but after the battle of Manila, all the countries of the South Seas were terrified, and they did their best to protect these merchants.

After all, if something happens to them, it means that the Ming fleet will come to the door.

Fujian and Guangdong provinces don't care about anything else, as long as they can go to sea to do business, if they don't let them go to sea to do business, they are enemies, on the contrary, to protect them to go to sea to do business is relatives, and the others are not worth mentioning at all, and it is good to divide the land, although there is some reluctance, but it is not worth risking your life for this little thing. The family's 10,000 acres of land have been divided, and it is a big deal to go to Nanyang to open another 100,000 acres, and there will be more arable land to be cultivated in one Mekong Delta than in the whole province of Guangdong.

The king of Zhennan has already said that that piece is all from the Ming Dynasty, and if it is reclaimed casually, whoever reclaims it will belong to whomever it is.

As for Guangxi, it's really hard to say, but their strength is not worth mentioning, and sincere mixing is nothing more than a slap to death, and Yunnan Governor Min Hongxue will not mix up, if the Mu family dares, he will clean up the Mu family, but the Mu family doesn't have that courage.

Wang Sanshan of Guizhou is also powerless.

Of course, don't dare.

He knows the combat effectiveness of King Zhennan, even if he, as a native of Henan, really wants to do his part for the gentry in his hometown, it is useless, not to mention that there are a bunch of Yang family's Zhuang households next to him, and he dares to accept Hongguang's holy decree The next day he has to face the Yang family's family in Guiyang. Over the years, Yang Xin recruited a large number of employees from all over the country, bringing potatoes and corn seeds, to Zunyi and the surrounding areas of Guiyang, which he had negotiated with Wang Sanshan, because he had taken away the abandoned land that had surrendered to the army.

At the same time, the seeds of these new crops are spread around the periphery.

Potatoes are indeed useless in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but in Guizhou they are twice a year.

The rest is Zhu Xieyuan, he has always been at the forefront of anti-Yang, and every time he will stand up and speak up, but unfortunately every time it is dry thunder and no rain, that is, he shouts loudly, and the actual action is zero, and he shows his existence again and again, because Zhu Xieyuan's family is from Zhejiang, and if he dares to do it, the Zhu family will be over, and he will not be so stupid.

Besides, if he dares to do it, Qin Liangyu, Long Qingxiang, Bai Zaixiang, these women will not hesitate to let him know that women can hold up half the sky.

Yang Xin was worried about Yang Sichang before, not that he was worried about Yang Sichang's strength, but once Yang Sichang fell to Hongguang, he would have to face a chaos that swept the two provinces, and once the chaos started, he didn't dare to say that he could control it. In fact, in the north this time it is more or less out of control, but the damage of the north out of control is small, and the harm of Jiangxi, Huguang is out of control, and these are the two most important grain-producing areas in the Ming Dynasty at present, and the chaos in these two provinces will seriously affect this year's grain output.

Now he can rest assured.

As for how to close the net......

This doesn't need to be bothered by King Zhennan, Hong Chengchou will solve it, and King Zhennan has no doubts about Hong Chengchou's ability.

"I hollowed out my heart and exhausted my strength, but I lost to the providence ......"

King Zhennan hummed happily, then turned around and walked to the dock behind him.

He is at the edge of the Taiye Pond at the moment, in fact, he spends most of his time here these days, although it is not yet the real spring season, but the water surface of the Taiye Pool has also thawed, and a brand-new paddle steamer is ready to go next to the dock, and the erected chimney is emitting black smoke from the inadequate burning of coal, drifting with the wind towards the palace in the distance. The beauties of the Apocalypse Harem, these days have been enduring the polluted air like this, before the Apocalypse was mainly in the Academy of Sciences, where the distance was not enough to float to the harem, but these days His Majesty the Emperor moved to the Taiye Pool, and it was on the side of the Yuhe Bridge......

That is, the bridge that crosses the Taiye Pond.

This place is basically in the northwest of the palace, and the northwest wind blows in winter just to the harem.

In fact, it is not only here, the palace is full of chimneys, heating has begun to be used, and even His Majesty the Emperor, who built steam-powered pumps, naturally erected chimneys, which together make the air quality of the palace comparable to the Yang family's industrial area in the new city.

However, His Majesty the Emperor liked the taste very much.

Like a tourist in the nineteenth century who felt the industrial power of the foggy capital, he reveled in the air pollution of his own making.

Yang Xin walked directly to Tianqi's side.

His Majesty the Emperor was obviously a little impatient......

"Your Majesty, Yang Sichang's recital."

Yang Xin said.

The recital is a secret play, there are two kinds of Ming recitals, what can be made public is the title book, the recital belongs to the secret play, and the six sections are forbidden to be copied externally.

"Just deal with these little things, don't waste time!"

His Majesty the Emperor said.

King Zhennan hurriedly shut up, and Song Yingxing next to him looked helplessly at the pair of faint monarchs and traitors, and then under the gaze of His Majesty the Emperor, he pulled down the handle in his hand quite hard, and with the sound of the whistle of the steam, the piston in the new brass cylinder began to run under the impetus of the steam. In this way, the power of the steam engine was transmitted to the paddle wheels on both sides of the boat through the transmission system, which was full of historical atmosphere for Yang Xin, and the wooden paddle wheels slowly rotated to propel the boat away from the dock......

"Your Majesty, why don't you take a look?"

King Zhennan asked with a fold still in his heart.

"You and I are brothers, and my brother can dispose of them."

His Majesty the Emperor said.

He didn't even glance at the recital, his eyes were always fixed on the steam engine running.

Since this is the case, King Zhennan will no longer have much to do, and he will also turn his attention to the steam engine, and Song Yingxing can only sigh softly in the end, sighing for the final end of the era of the Lord Sage and the Sage......
