Chapter 195: The Battle in Jiangnan

"Xie Wuliang can't swim, it is estimated that he won't be able to hold back in the water for long, let's wait!" Regarding Xie Wuliang's sudden jump, Han Xiao did not have the slightest worry.

Judging from the information recorded by Jin Yiwei, although Xie Wuliang was born in Jiangnan, he has been pampered since he was a child, and he has never been in the water since he was a child, so how can he swim?

Besides, it's winter now, and the water is still in the sea with such cold water, Han Xiao doesn't believe that Xie Wuliang will stay in the sea for a long time.

Sure enough, in just a few breaths, a cry of "help" came from the sea.

Following the voice, Han Xiao saw a human head floating up and down on the sea dozens of zhang away, who was it not Xie Wuliang?

"This guy is still of great use, but he must not be allowed to die here?" Thinking like this in his heart, Han Xiaodang ordered someone to fish Xie Wuliang out of the seawater......

"Why, it doesn't taste good in the water!" In the cabin, Han Xiao looked at Xie Wuliang, who was trembling, and asked with a smile.

At this time, Xie Wuliang was frozen by the cold sea water and shivered, how could he have the time to answer Han Xiao's words?

Seeing this, Han Xiao didn't think it was a pestle at all......

After the first day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Dingzong, the governor of Liangjiang, who had just conquered Suzhou Prefecture, led his men to Songjiang Mansion in the east without stopping.

At this time, in the whole of Jiangsu, only Songjiang Mansion was still under the control of the gentry group.

In Jiangxi, Ningguo Gongsun Ding'an had just conquered Nanchang Mansion, and he also led people down the river to Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang.

On the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, Sun Dingan finally brought people to the city of Hangzhou to join Ma Jinzhong, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Originally, Sun Dingan planned to personally lead the army eastward.

But when he thought that he had made a lot of contributions to his cousin Sun Dingzong along the way, it was time to give a little to others, so he proposed that he personally sit in Hangzhou and be led by Ma Jinzhong, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, to exterminate the rest of the rebels.

Naturally, Ma Jinzhong was very happy.

Although Ma Jinzhong is also Sun Dingan's protégé, who dislikes his own great contributions?

I don't care about the Spring Festival or not.

Sun Ding'an's army only rested under the city of Hangzhou for one day, and then was led by Ma Jinzhong to attack Shaoxing Mansion to the east.

In less than five days, Shaoxing Mansion was conquered by Ma Jinzhong and others.

Before the Lantern Festival, Ma Jinzhong led people to conquer Ningbo, Taizhou, and Jinhua one after another.

By the end of the first month, there was only one Wenzhou Mansion left in the state capital that was still under the control of the gentry group.

At this time, the gentry group has completely become yesterday's yellow flower.

Under the city of Wenzhou, the gentry gathered here saw that their general trend had gone, and they committed suicide and surrendered.

Of course, there were also some gentry who were unwilling to be killed, and they found a few ships and wanted to flee overseas.

But at this time, the entire coastal area of Zhejiang has been blocked by the naval army led by Feng Xi, how can it be so easy to escape?

On the last day of the first lunar month, the last military force under the control of the gentry group was wiped out at sea by Feng Xi and his troops.

At this point, for two months, the rebellion of the gentry group in the 27 prefectures of the four provinces south of the Yangtze River was completely put down.

There are many reasons why the imperial court was able to quell the rebellion of the gentry group so quickly.

In the court, because of the incident of the ticket number in Jinzhong last year, many ministers fell, and Zhang Lingyang took the opportunity to promote relatives such as Zheng Yongji, Cao Rui, Gao Pei, and Zhu Kaishan to become ministers, so that most of the important ministers of the court such as Liubu Jiuqing stood on his side.

At the local level, Zhang Lingyang chose to appoint border generals such as Ma Jinzhong and Sun Dingzong as governors, so that the imperial court had a firm grasp of Hangzhou and Jiangning from beginning to end.

Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces were the core areas of the gentry rebellion and served as the capitals. Jiangning and Hangzhou naturally became the core of the rebellion.

The imperial court firmly controlled Hangzhou and Jiangning, so that the gentry group had no energy to expand their own achievements, and their eyes were always attracted by these two provinces, which also won time for Sun Ding'an to recover the provincial capitals of Anhui and Jiangxi.

There is another point, that is, although the gentry group has sold a lot of health centers in Jiangnan.

However, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Jiangnan region has never experienced a rebellion, which has made the local guards have long been rotten.

In terms of the imperial court, not to mention Sun Ding'an, the number one person in the Great Zhou military, Sun Dingzong, the governor of Liangjiang, has also served as the chief soldier of Dingxiang for many years.

Ma Jinzhong, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was a general in the west before and had just quelled the turmoil in western Xinjiang.

It can be said that the imperial court is writing elite soldiers and fierce generals, and in the face of the soft-footed shrimp in the Jiangnan region, it naturally does not take much effort.

What's more, the current imperial court is not only money.

No matter what the period, the war is always fought with money and food.

If the Great Zhou treasury is still the same as it was a year ago, even if it borrows a few more dares from Zhang Lingyang, Zhang Lingyang will not dare to implement the policy of apportioning the land into the mu so recklessly to force the Jiangnan gentry to oppose it.

But this time is different from the past, not to mention that last year, because of the thorough investigation of Yangzhou salt affairs, Zhang Lingyang's internal treasury and treasury have harvested the silver of the beam.

Just talking about the investigation and punishment of the Jinzhong ticket number, the silver money harvested exceeded the tax revenue of the Great Zhou for several years.

Therefore, at this time, the treasury of the Great Zhou was not short of money and grain.

Therefore, combining the above factors, Zhang Lingyang will suppress the gentry clique in Jiangnan without hesitation when he has just grasped power.

In fact, as Zhang Lingyang expected, it only took two months for the Jiangnan gentry group to be completely suppressed.

The process was so fast and the war went smoothly that even Zhang Lingyang himself did not expect it.

Originally, Zhang Lingyang planned to spend a year and a half to completely cut off the gentry group, but he didn't expect them to be so unbeaten.

Actually, it's normal.

The gentry class of the Great Zhou Dynasty, under the influence of Confucianism, had long forgotten that 'why don't men bring Wu hooks...... Nuo scholar Wan Hu Hou's bold words are magnificent.

Today's gentry class has long been cultivated into a villain who holds a book of sages in his hand, does not touch the spring water with his five fingers, and is spotless from the six dusts, just for the sake of small profits in front of him.

Another point is that the noble forces of the Great Zhou have not been completely corrupted by the corrupt and degenerate aristocratic life, and there are elites such as Sun Ding'an in charge.

It was for all these reasons that the rebellion of the gentry was quickly put down......

At this time, although Jiangnan was not full of devastation, it was also a little depressed after the poison of war.

Compared with the depressed Jiangnan, the capital is extraordinarily calm.

Originally, the ministers of the DPRK and China were still worried that the war in Jiangnan would not go well, but after the news of the successive good news, especially after the news that King Anping was captured by Feng Xi, the ministers had already concluded that the pacification of the Jiangnan turmoil was just around the corner.

As expected, it only took two months for the turmoil in Jiangnan to be completely quelled......
