In this way, Kong Youde officially became Yang Dudu's minion.

It's still okay for him to fight.

As for the original role in history, there is no need to care about this, he estimates that he has no chance to play for our Daqing, in fact, it is difficult to say whether there will be any more in our Daqing in the future, after all, the current country name of the wild boar skin is still gold.

As for Dajin's commitment to the mandate of heaven to raise the wise Khan of the nations......

Well, this is the official title of the wild boar skin at present, and it is said that he has had this title since the forty-fourth year of Wanli, staying in the landlord's mansion in Hetuala, he can actually come up with such an exaggerated title for himself, which is indeed quite a bit of a monkey called the king. As for the alliance between him and Lin Dan Khan, let them go, their series of collusion is completed, and it is estimated that it will be September, that is, if you want to come out in the autumn, you can grab as much as you want, so as to survive the next winter.

Sun Chengzong only needs to be prepared.

At this time, all parts of Liaodong and Liaoxi are really like copper walls and iron walls, the big cities are all repaired and attached to the triangular forts, and the small fortresses are all fortified, the important ones such as Fengji Fort are brick-clad fortresses, and the unimportant small military forts are ordinary rammed earth forts.

All bastions have cannons.

Not bad money.

Spend more than 5 million taels a year.

Moreover, Sun Chengzong and Chen Yujie are also able to cast cannons themselves, all of them are iron-core copper cannons, and even wrought-iron core pig iron cannons, the latter is already quite cheap, the only problem is that it is bulky, but it is not a big deal to use it for urban defense. In fact, the casting of this composite barrel in the Ming Dynasty began in the Jiajing period, and the inner chamber was forged with wrought iron, to put it bluntly, wrought iron was wrapped in iron rod forging, similar to the manufacture of the barrel, and then a similarly forged tail was added to the tail, and the rest was poured pig iron or copper in the mold, and finally made into a complete gun body.

In fact, it is this casting method after a crow.

This is different from Yang Xin, who made gun copper by refining the bronze and adjusting the copper-tin ratio to make gun copper by refining the bronze, and performing preliminary processing on the gun chamber to improve the performance.

His cannon is really good.

But because of the price problem, it has been basically abandoned by the mainstream.

Before, it was because everyone was terrible, so his cannon was adopted although it was expensive but easy to use.

Of course, his price is not much different from the original ones, but the latter is mainly too high, and with Huang Kezhang and Xu Guangqi both attaching importance to technology, coupled with a large number of private businessmen investing in this industry, the price of artillery is also declining while the performance is improving, so that although everyone admits that the performance is good, but the price of his artillery cannot be reduced, it will inevitably be abandoned.

At this time, even the naval division's own warships purchased copper-iron composite cannons made in Macao.

The artillery of the Gegu factory is only in the field of army field artillery, and there is no competition for the time being, after all, the key to field artillery is to try to be as light as possible.

And his cannon is the lightest in its class.

Also because the artillery is getting cheaper and cheaper, now Liaodong is not to mention the fortress level, even ordinary small fortresses have a large number of artillery, anyway, the price is not expensive, even Jin Taiji has purchased a large number of artillery from Chen Yujie, and his Yehe City has also built a fortress.

In the final analysis, Daming's steel production is much higher than that of Europe.

If the wild boar skin and Lin Dan Khan are willing to use their heads to hit this impregnable defense system, just let it be, even if they add the base, it will be okay if there are really 200,000 iron horsemen, anyway, Sun Chengzong will definitely be able to defend until Yang Dudu arrives, and Yang Dudu arrives, it will be the end of the wild boar skin.

Since this is the case, Yang Xin doesn't care, let's wait for the news first.

Just order the communication ship of the Beiyang Navy Division to be on standby in Niuzhuang, at this time the communication ship has evolved to the head of the flying scissors, and it will not take a few days to get here from Niuzhuang.

Immediately after that, his army left the Guazhou Gate......

"Remembering the ...... of the Past"

Yang Dudu shook off the folding fan.

"Hejian Hou, don't you know other poems?"

Gao Hongtu said speechlessly.

"Well, I don't know why, every time I enter the Yangtze River, I will think of this poem when I look at the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and every time I see the world of flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, I will think of what it would be like if I slaughtered the city here.

Yang Xin shook the folding fan and said indifferently.

Opposite the Jingkou lock, countless ships gathered, and countless people can be seen at Jinshan Temple.

This is to greet Yang Dudu......

No, this is to prevent Yang Dudu from entering the Jingkou Gate.

To say that at present, the Ming Dynasty ranks the cities with the deepest hatred of Yang Dudu, there must be Zhenjiang in the top three, and maybe even the gentry who lost their land in Zhenjiang Mansion are all gathered in Zhenjiang City, but the entire Zhenjiang Mansion is now left in this city, and ten miles south of Zhenjiang City is the control area of the Red Turban Army.

Danyang, Jintan, and Dantu who lost their land all gathered in Zhenjiang.

After all, this is still a capital city.

Zhenjiang Mansion has not been abolished, their imperial examinations, household registration management, are still in Zhenjiang Mansion, including the county magistrates of the counties are also here, just like those overseas Chinese counties in the Southern Dynasty, Danyang Magistrate County, Jintan Magistrate County, all crowded in Dantu City, including the county teachings. Anyway, there was no money to make, so they lived on the little salary of the imperial court, and one by one they lived worse than death, and they got together every day to curse Yang Xin for fun, and it is said that they also arrogantly published a collection of poems.

is to put together the poems that scolded Yang Xin, and by the way, add some nostalgia for the good life in the past.

And make a lot of money.

This collection of poems is currently almost one in the hands of the Jiangnan gentry!

In short, it's like those exiles.

During Yang Xin's stay in Yangzhou, these gentry had already completed the series, and even some of the gentry from Jurong, Wujin and other places who were also persecuted were also miserably, and together they laid an iron wall at the Jingkou Gate to block this traitor and prevent him from entering the canal to continue to persecute the village gentry in other places. Of course, it was mainly the sponsors behind them who asked for it, although theoretically the order given to Yang Xin by the Ministry of War was indeed to go to Jiangxi, but as long as you think about it with your brain, you know that Sun Chengzong can't control Yang Xin.

Isn't it just money?

There is it in Zhaoyi City.

This year's wheat harvest Zhaoyi City has handed over more than one million stone wheat, these wheat still exist in Danyang, and it is said that a large part of it is also ground into flour, this is just the taste of the Dangkou army, this more than one million stones is enough for more than 10,000 people to eat for several years, and Zhaoyi City also has the Yang family's canning factory, arsenal, basically everything needed, Yang Xin will not be controlled by money or grain!

Not to mention that there are only more than 10,000 horses, even if it is no problem to recruit tens of thousands of troops in Zhaoyi City.

So he will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

"Hejian Hou, where are you going?"

Gao Hongtu looked at Yang Xin vigilantly and said.

He felt that the bow of the ship under his feet was turning, and the bow of the boat, which had been facing west after exiting the Guazhou Gate, was slowly adjusting to the south......

"What's going on?"

Yang Dudu shook the folding fan and said.

"Back to uncle, the tide is low, and the top of our boat can't move the river!"

Yang Huan said.

"Ah, then whatever!"

Yang Xin said.

"Hejian Hou, the military department strictly ordered that you must go to Jiangxi."

Gao Hongtu protested without hesitation.

"Brother Yanwen, it's not that I don't want to go, no one can do anything about the low tide, you probably don't know that there is a tide in this Jingkou, and now the low tide is coupled with the countercurrent, and there is no downwind to go upstream, I don't believe you go and let those sailors turn the rudder to try."

Yang Xin said.

"Uncle, at this moment, the current is against the current, the river water and the ebb tide are very fast, and it is easy to capsize the boat if the rudder is turned hard."

Yang Huan protested.

"Ah, then don't turn around."

Yang Xin said.

Gao Hongtu was immediately dumbfounded, he ran back and forth on the deck, looking at the river below at a loss, which was in the ebb tide, and it was originally countercurrent, coupled with catching up with the low tide, the river below flowed very fast, the wind direction was unfavorable and lowered the sails, and the bow of the boat, which had no power, was pushed by the current, and turned unstoppably to the south, and soon the bow was facing the south bank. And it is still turning, Gao Hongtu was stunned to see the tower of Jinshan Temple into his field of vision, then the Jingkou Gate, and then the Zhenjiang City, the boat that should have gone west after leaving the Guazhou Gate was inclined to insert the Jingkou Gate under the impetus of the river.

At the Guazhou Gate, which was all opened later, boats that were also full of soldiers also flowed down the Yangtze River with the gushing river, and then were pushed by the river to follow them to Jingkou.

"This is the will of heaven, and the will of heaven cannot be violated!"

Yang Xin shook the folding fan and said matter-of-factly.

At this moment, the crowd gathered in Jinshan Temple was in a commotion, and at the same time, a flag stretched out from the Cishou Pagoda, and then the large and small ships crowded in front of the Jingkou Gate converged towards the gate, quickly blocking the gate like a garbage belt after a tsunami, completely blocking the entrance to the Jiangnan Canal.

The next moment, a smoke of gunpowder rose from the golden mountain, and then the shells fell into the open area of the river.

"What does that mean?"

Yang Xin was stunned.

"Salute, welcome to Jiangnan!"

Gao Hongtu said angrily.

He can't change anything now, but Yang Xin still has to enter the Jingkou Gate after all, and he still can't enter the Jingkou Gate when people block the Jingkou Gate here.

"The gentry of Zhenjiang are too polite, return the courtesy!"

Yang Xin said.

The gunner next to a mortar gun on the deck in front of him opened the ammunition box, took out a huge cannonball with a wooden butt, opened the wax seal on the cannonball, and the soldier next to him took out a wooden cone with a scale and thread from the small box and handed it to him. A roll of paper was exposed on the spinal canal like a cigarette roll, and the gunner quickly punched holes in the top tick mark to insert and screw the cone tube, and then took the ignition rod and looked at Yang Dudu.

The latter nodded.

The gunner immediately put the arquebus into the ignition hole.

With the eruption of flames and smoke, a cannonball with a small tail soared into the sky.

Everyone looked up at the visible cannonball, and it suddenly turned into an exploding flame......
