Indeed, just blow it up!

"Run!"

Liu Feng, a second lieutenant of the Ming army, cut down the gatekeeper in front of him, and then turned around and shouted.

This is the Qinzhou City Gate Cave.

Behind him, including Han Tongzhi, everyone rushed out of the city, and then Liu Feng put the torch on the carriage in front of him, and the carriage full of dead grass immediately burned, and the flames instantly blocked the city gate hole. Then he turned around without hesitation, took a few steps forward with his torch, and lit the fuse very casually in front of another tightly enclosed carriage......

"Three hundred pounds of gunpowder, enough strength!"

Looking at the flaming fuse, he sighed heartily.

Then he ran out wildly and fled.

After a 100-meter sprint, he rushed out of the city gate in the blink of an eye, ran a few steps to the right along the base of the city wall, and then plunged headlong into the nearby moat.

"Dive down!"

He yelled in the twilight.

Then he plunged headlong underwater.

In the moat near him, including Han Tongzhi, all the companions who had already soaked in it immediately dived underwater, and the moat here was extremely deep enough to provide them with additional protection. At the same time, on the wall above them, the defenders were watching their strange behavior with bewildered expressions, but there were still smart ones who finally reacted, screaming and rushing down the city in desperation......

However, it was too late.

Liu Feng left less than half a minute for the fuse to burn.

As he was holding his breath underwater, he saw the water above his head suddenly turn red, and then the loud explosion came through the transmission of the river, and at the same time, the water surface showed violent fluctuations, like waves on the sea. He held his breath and didn't dare to move under the water, just like a storm after the red was extinguished, countless heavy objects poured down on the surface of the river, smashing the river as if it were boiling, and even a crumbling city brick fell on top of his head. He could watch as the brick that was enough to kill himself slowed down and changed its path due to the three-meter-deep river, and finally almost grazed his head and sank into the mud and sand beneath his feet.

When he emerged from the water again, the gate was gone, and three hundred pounds of gunpowder had turned it into a huge gap.

Behind him came a torrent of cavalry......

"How easy is that!"

In the twilight half a mile away, Yang Xin looked at the cavalry that had rushed across the moat, and said to Ma Xin quite proudly.

On either side of them, an entire brigade of Ming marines rushed forward, rushing out of the woods where they were hiding with flintlock pistols, like a red tide across the field, and soon followed the cavalry across the moat, rushing into what should have been a huge gap in the city gate, and then the gunfire rang out inside.

"Let's go, let's go into town!"

Yang Xin got on the horse and said.

An hour later.

"Surnamed Han, you traitor!"

In front of the yamen of Qinzhou Prefecture, Zhizhou roared angrily.

But his roar was meaningless, and the two big-shouldered and round-waisted Ming soldiers dragged him straight out of the gate like a dead dog, and stuffed him into the cage outside the door that was supposed to deal with the prisoners. And the same standing cages in front of the yamen of this state are already full, and the big and small officials in Qinzhou City, except for Han Tongzhi, are already waiting for Lord Zhizhou inside. More and more ordinary people whose emotions are gradually stabilizing are gathering nearby and happily watching these officials and gentlemen who used to like to use the standing cage to deal with the common people, curling up in the standing cage one by one, looking at the world in front of them from an angle they have never had......

"You're doing a great job!"

Yang Xin patted Han Tongzhi on the shoulder and said.

By this time, the battle in the city was over.

In fact, there is no fighting, the main force of Qinzhou's defense is three thousand wolf soldiers, but these three thousand wolf soldiers are borrowed from those Tusi in Guixi, or it can also be said to be hired, after the Qinzhou city gate is blown open, they will also fight street battles, which is too exaggerated.

In fact, they are the fastest.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the Ming army entered the city, the three thousand wolf soldiers ran back to their barracks, packed up the package and opened the north gate, and turned into the victorious turn, only a few who were left behind had a battle with the Ming cavalry. But the Ming army was not interested in chasing them, and they were not interested in staying to save Qinzhou, and the two sides broke up happily after a while. As for the old army and the gentry militia that were left in the city, it was even more impossible for them to resist to the end, and in fact many of them did not even know what was going on. It is said that the governor of Qinzhou only said that the official army is coming, and does not let the official army enter the city, and it is a good thing to let them be stationed outside the city......

These old soldiers are all guards and military households.

"Director Yang, look at the next ......"

Han Tongzhi said with a smile.

"Open the warehouse, put the grain!"

Yang Xin said very simply.

"Open the warehouse, put the grain! They all went to the official warehouse to wait to receive food, and each person was limited to three buckets! ”

He turned to the people and shouted.

Han Tongzhi hurriedly translated.

Those ordinary people looked at Yang Xin in disbelief.

"My name is Yang Xin, the director of the Guangxi Division of the Land Reform Department of Jinyi Wei, and I came here on the order of the Duke of Xinguo, just to let everyone in Guangxi have food to eat and clothes to wear. These officials are unwilling, they want to continue to exploit and oppress you, so they coax you to resist the king, and now they have all surrendered to the law, and they can no longer stop the order of the Duke of Xinguo, so now I will carry out the order of the Duke of Xinguo, so that all of you have food to eat and clothes to wear. Let's go and wait for the food first, let's solve the problem that everyone has food today! ”

Yang Xin shouted.

Han Tongzhi translated with apprehension.

Then the common people suddenly burst into cheers, and then swarmed in the direction of Guancang.

"Director Yang, it's just that the official warehouse doesn't have enough grain!"

Han Tongzhi cautiously reminded Yang Xin.

"Not enough? Are there no food for the rebellious gentry? Since they are rebellious, they will all have to raid their homes, although I am not a Beiya, and I am not responsible for this kind of rebellion, but according to my authority, I will first seal up their homes. If the official warehouse is not enough food, they will be used first, and the military food will also be used by them, I remember that the gentry here are hoarding silk, right? Take out those silks and give them clothes to the villagers first! ”

Yang Xin said.

After saying that, he walked straight to the state office.

Later, Han Tongzhi wiped the cold sweat on his head.

"Is this an official or a rogue!"

He spoke to himself with emotion in the local language.

Anyway, the cheers of the common people are real, although Qinzhou is not a poor place, but in recent years, the gentry have changed a lot of sugar cane and the like in order to make money, and in fact, grain production has been declining. The grain imported from Vietnam is also controlled by them, and by selling the grain, they will exploit it again, and finally extract all that can be squeezed in the hands of the common people. And then through usury brutally squeezed a third time, although Qinzhou can still supplement part of it through fishing, but the fishing boats are also controlled by the gentry and fishing tyrants, and ordinary people go to the beach to pick up points, and only those close to the coast have this benefit.

The Guangxi gentry, who had strides into capitalism, were absolutely comprehensive and meticulous in their means of suppressing the common people.

They are all villagers......

Who do not squeeze them?

It can be said that the vast majority of the common people are struggling with hunger, especially in the cities, where the bloody accumulation of capitalism is carried out in a way that is not inferior to that of Europe. Then Yang Xin's opening of the warehouse and the release of grain caused the whole city to fall into madness, and all the ordinary people flocked to the official warehouse, even including those soldiers who originally defended the city.

"Line up, all line up!"

Liu Feng shouted while carrying a rattan.

The official next to him also followed the fox and the fake tiger to translate.

Those chaotic people, under the intimidation of his military uniform, honestly lined up in order, moving forward one by one. And on the table in front of them, a member of the Jinyi Guard's land reform team who was wearing the same clothes as Yang Xin was grabbing the index finger of the right hand of a person waiting in line, first rubbing it with an alcohol cotton ball a few times, and then pricking it with a needle also soaked in alcohol......

It's a sign.

Whoever wants to take a multi-collar and pull his finger to see if there are any traces of pins and needles.

After pricking the needle, he pinched the alcohol cotton ball and walked directly to the door of the warehouse at the back, where there were already land reform team members waiting, picking up a bag containing three buckets of rice and putting it on his shoulder. The other was in charge of guarding the silk that had been stolen from the gentry's house, and he measured a piece and put it on his other shoulder, and the man went home with a bag of rice and silk on his side, and went home with joy for a rare full meal. And the other one behind him, who had also finished the needle, quickly took his share and left, and the whole team kept moving forward. And there are several of the same team on both sides, not even just the people in Qinzhou City, even the people around Qinzhou are pouring to enjoy this carnival that belongs to them.

The Ming marines who occupied Qinzhou were divided into squads, and under the leadership of those land reform team members, they rushed into the homes of the gentry and raided their homes.

They have state government information in hand.

All the big landlords in Qinzhou City, the gentry who participated in the formation of the militia group, these have a list to check in the state government, and then take the list and bring out the officials who are familiar with the situation one by one. The men were all arrested and awaiting trial, the women, the elderly, and the children did not move, the deed of sale of the slaves and maids was found and burned, and of course the slaves and slaves were forcibly released under the land reform, and these slaves and maids were re-registered as the people and incorporated into the Huangzhuang. As for the seizure of family property, the seizure of title deeds, the confiscation of usurious IOUs, the temporary appropriation of grain and cloth as needed, of course, if it is found that they are not guilty, they will be returned.

After all, the Land Reform Division is not the Beizhen Fu Division, and they do not have the power to judge, but as Jinyiwei, they also have the right to enforce the law in the case of rebellion.

So they can arrest people and close their homes.

But the trial and conviction had to be handed over to the North Town Fusi.

But this is just a matter of procedure, these people will be convicted, and they will have many crimes, because the next land reform will be accompanied by complaints, and then it will depend on how many crimes the villagers who have been oppressed by them for generations can expose them.
