Chapter 420: Everyone, let me die innocently
The Red Turban Army that took Danyang did not go north, but turned to Jintan, but they encountered stubborn resistance from the regimental trainers in Jintan.
And it's not just Jintan's group exercises.
Even the Liyang regimental training also arrived at Jintan to reinforce Jintan, and the commander of this regimental training was Chen Mingxia, who, like the Lu family brothers, hired a large number of miners from the Guangde area with the help of the Guangde gentry, and then organized a regimental training of 3,000 people, in order to avoid the surrender of the Red Turban Army, and also controlled the families of these miners as hostages under the banner of taking care.
However......
It doesn't help.
Because the Red Turban Army pushed the Hongyi cannon to the foot of Jintan City.
Pity the original history of our Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty three dynasties, the first appearance ended in disfigurement, his supposedly handsome face, was pierced by a broken brick slag, and also lost three teeth, in short, that face can no longer be described as handsome. Fortunately, after capturing Jintan, the Red Turban Army temporarily stopped attacking, and instead established a defensive system in the area of Changdang Lake and Maoshan Mountain.
It's very simple.
The militia was full of energy.
As for the artillery, the Red Turban Army captured more than 30 cannons alone.
At present, both the officers and the army and the regimental training are playing the role of the captain of the transportation brigade, and in addition, there are actually smuggling ships transporting them, after all, the Yangtze River, which is dozens of kilometers wide, is completely a paradise for smuggling.
That's it.
Yang Xin's goal in this round is these two places, and at the same time turn Zhenjiang into an isolated city, in fact, Zhenjiang has become an isolated city, and the villages around Zhenjiang are all farmers who have organized themselves to fight local tyrants and divide the land. Because Yang Xin deliberately did not transfer troops, and even strictly forbade the troops of other provinces to enter the war zone, and the guards around Nanjing hated to follow the Red Turban Military Study, and this area was regimental training to resist. But the group training can be ignored, after all, those gentry hire group training costs money, and after losing the land, their property will not last long, as for the gentry in Susong and other places in the east......
They're breathing a sigh of relief.
The Red Turban Army expanded westward, and they could rest assured for the time being.
As for taking the opportunity to attack Wujin......
They haven't made up for their losses before, and besides, these days of war, just the mercenary group training, and the money to purchase weapons have already made them feel painful.
The regimental training is all heaped with silver, and the Yixing regiment is paid three taels a month, not to mention that they have to be equipped with a full set of firearms, not to mention other daily training, the cannon is all silver when it goes out, and the cannon is thrown to the Red Turban Army. At least the combat effectiveness of the current regimental training must be in vain, unless the comprehensive training of those regimental exercises has actually begun, whether it is Shen Tingyang or the Lu family brothers, they have all begun to conduct training for the regimental training, and they are all hired Dutch instructors.
After the opening of Songjiang, a large number of Dutch merchant ships poured in, and they used Hong Kong Island as a base to advance and traveled north to Songjiang, avoiding Guangzhou, which had been run by the Portuguese for many years, and then purchasing goods directly from Songjiang.
Just like the British in the original history.
It was because of this that relations between the Suzon gentry and the Dutch warmed up dramatically.
But the problem is that it all costs money.
They did have access to the most advanced tactics in Europe, and even the Maurice phalanx had access to them, or at least they could understand them, but the problem was that the money had to be spent like flowing water.
If it is to defend themselves, they can grit their teeth and dig out the silver.
But others are a different story.
In order to help the Zhenjiang gentry get out of the sea of suffering, they paid their own money to provoke the Red Turban Army, which no longer attacked them, and then attracted the Red Turban Army back to make themselves unlucky for the Zhenjiang gentry......
That's obviously impossible.
In short, for the Su Song gentry, they are very sympathetic to the plight of the Zhenjiang gentry, but let the Red Turban Army continue to bully the Zhenjiang gentry!
In this case, the Red Turbans met their demands.
In the following time, they quickly completed the militia of the villages on the outskirts of Danyang, Jintan and Zhenjiang, and now this set of procedures is very simple, that is, a village and a battalion, young and middle-aged people get together, and elect a most convincing person to come out as the head of the village and the battalion commander, and the land of the gentry who was originally cultivated is planted separately. Then these Zhuangzi went to the county to meet and divide the brigade, and the ten Zhuangzi were a militia brigade, and it was also a township, and Yang appointed a township chief and brigade commander, and he would take some of his own subordinates to be responsible for the management of the township.
When there is a need for war, the township commander and brigade commander, and the battalion commander and village leader are dispatched with the militia.
And one army per county.
At present, Wujin, Danyang, Jintan, Zhenjiang, and Jiangyin each have a militia army.
The regular army is the Dangkou army, plus the surrendered and expanded in Danyang, Jintan and other places, the total strength of the Red Turban Army has reached 50,000.
The quartermaster came from the house.
The gentry in this area are not ordinary fat.
At present, the food, gold and silver accumulated by the Red Turban Army can last for at least two years, and even the surplus food can be used to supply the people.
However, a normal regime can be established this year, and once this matter is resolved, the 60,000 Red Turban Army will definitely be downsized, although Yang Xin's plan is to change to a militia on the spot, but this is just talking, how can this territory maintain 10,000 elite standing army, and the financial resources can fully afford it. This 10,000 standing army can replace the original local garrison in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the militia area in Wuxi can be included in this system.
As for the prelude of the Honorable Regiment......
That's useless, they have a to say.
What their purpose is, those civil officials do not understand,
However, at this time, the rumors that Yang Dudu might rebel also spread rapidly throughout the Ming Dynasty, and it can be said that the evidence is obvious, whether he may be Yang Feng, or the Wuxi militia, the Dangkou army, or even the native soldiers, a large number of people openly joined the Red Turban Army, all of which prove that this rebel army that swept through the south of the Yangtze River was made by Yang Dudu in changing his vest.
He can do this far, and there is still one last bit of cover left before he openly rebels.
"Wronged, I'm more wronged than Dou E."
Yang Dudu continued his performance.
A group of civil servants watched him cautiously.
This matter is indeed very scary, although they all wish that Yang Xin would be cut by a thousand knives, but in the current situation, if you think about it carefully, you will find that once Yang Xin really rebels, it can be said to be a disaster, and it can even be said to be a catastrophe, whether it is for civil officials or gentry, it is a disaster that can be said to be annihilated.
What will happen if Yang Xin openly rebels?
All the officials and nobles in Nanjing were directly served by him.
A whole 10,000 native soldiers were stationed outside the Chengtian Gate, and they could make Nanjing City become Yang Xin's world in less than an hour, and then all the nobles' family property and all the gentry's wealth went into his pocket, conservatively estimated at tens of millions of taels. And then what? Fengyang's Dangkou army will lock the Huai River within ten days, and Fengyang's military households will not hesitate to join them, and then go straight down the river to occupy Huai'an, and Yang Xin will use silver and land to make the entire Nanjing guard and all the military households follow him with all their hearts, plus the red turban army next door, it can be said that the entire Nanzhili is in his pocket.
Then he continued to fight the local tyrants and divide the land.
All the gentry are finished.
And the danger he needs to face is only the raid on his own women's homes.
And it is not necessarily, because those women can be withdrawn here from the sea, and Yang Xin also has a powerful sailor in his hand, which has just joined the two latest giant ships, and in the words of the newspaper, it is like a mountain on the sea, and the city is shattered when the cannon is fired.
And there are tens of millions of people in this area.
As long as he continues to fight the local tyrants and divide the land, he can arm a million troops in this area.
Not to mention that he still has a bunch of allies in the north, if he really rebels, then Jintaiji and Fried Flower in Liaodong, and even Chen Yujie and Cao Wenzhao have the possibility of going south to be the founding father of the country, and there are also those Tusi in Guizhou, his concubine is the daughter of the prefect of Zhenxiong, and he has a good relationship with Qin Liangyu's family.
If he fights for the world, it really won't be a problem.
And then the entire gentry of the Ming Dynasty were all unlucky.
"Yang Dudu, don't care about this kind of rumor, although the old man and the governor have some differences in political opinions, but if you want to say that the governor will rebel, the old man is the first to not believe it."
Wang Yongguang stroked his beard and said.
"Yes, yes, the governor is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, the three emperors of the calendar, and the assistant minister selected by the temple for His Majesty, if you want to say that the governor rebelled, then there will be no loyal ministers in this world."
Qiao Yingjia pinched his nose and said.
Then they gestured with their eyes to the other civil servants.
The latter hurriedly expressed his absolute belief in Yang Dudu one by one, Yang Dudu is a loyal minister, Yang Dudu will never rebel, what Yang Dudu is Yang Feng, these are all rumors, they are all nonsense from people with ulterior motives, Yang Dudu should not go to his heart, these people with ulterior motives are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and the people who frame Yang Dudu must be strictly investigated for this kind of rumor-mongering.
Anyway, it's a shame for them to say that.
"But what's the use of what you say, the three of them become tigers, now the outside says that I am Yang Feng, and they all say that I want to rebel, which makes my heart messy, I want me Yang Xin, for the Ming Dynasty to fight for the west, it is rare to go home once a year, so far I still pay for the military expenses of Ping Luan, which can be said to be a broken family for the country. Now that I have been framed as a traitor and rebel, my heart is about to break, please go back, in order to show his innocence, Yang will next close the door and wait for His Majesty to deal with it, I don't want to say anything more.
Thousands of hammers were carved out of the deep mountains, and the fire burned as if it were idle. Don't be afraid of broken bones, you have to leave your innocence in the world.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me die innocently! ”
Yang Dudu said with tears in his eyes.
