In fact, the resistance encountered by the Ming army in Qinzhou was all that......

Jinji Pond.

"Nothing to do with you?"

Ma Xin looked at an official in front of him in astonishment.

Because they entered a real state of war, they did not land directly in Qinzhou, after all, the water depth of the Qinjiang River could not even enter the cruisers, not to mention the crooked and narrow channel of the Qinjiang River, once it was attacked by the flanks, especially fireships and the like, it was difficult for the fleet to deal with it in a long line. Therefore, they landed at the mouth of the Maoling River like the Japanese army in the original history, preparing to attack Qinzhou by land, but just before they landed and left Jinjitang, Qinzhou Tongzhi brought a group of gentry to treat them with cattle wine.

"Yes, General Ma, it was done by the subordinates led by the Longmen Baihu without permission!"

Tongzhi said with a smiling face.

"What about the 100 households in Longmen?"

Ma Xin said.

"As far as the lower officials know, the hundred households of Longmen have died on the fort, which can be regarded as deserved, this traitor dares to attack the imperial court sailors, it is estimated that he has lost his mind and is simply innocent. The general and the soldiers came from afar to work hard, Xu Zhizhou was also very guilty of negligence, this time let the lower officials come to comfort the soldiers, he also set up a banquet in the state office, and there are another five thousand taels of silver here is a little heart of the people of Qinzhou. ”

Tongzhi said and pointed behind him.

Behind him was a silver glow.

It was a carriage with its canvas unfurled, and countless silver ingots and coins were piled on top of it in a spectacular manner, forming a dazzling mountain of silver.

"You're ......"

Ma Xin smiled and stopped.

Tongzhi smiled and stretched out his hand to make a petition.

Then he walked to a carriage and picked up a silver horse sword coin, in fact, the vast majority of the silver mountain was made up of this silver mountain, and it was clear that the prosperity of Guangxi's trade with the Netherlands had allowed a large amount of guilders to flow into the city.

"General Ma, you also know that this Qinzhou is just a small city, and the people have never seen such a military might in a long time in a remote area, and if they rush to settle in the city, it may cause panic among the people. It is better for the general to move to the defense city, where the bay is wide and deep and suitable for the anchorage of large ships, so the officials and people of Qinzhou are grateful, as for the needs of the army, this can be handed over to the lower officials to raise, and there will be another generous gift to the general in the future. ”

Tongzhi said on the side.

The gentry who accompanied him echoed.

Ma Xin looked back at them with a smile.

"You're scared, aren't you?"

He said it very directly.

"The general's ship is strong and the artillery is sharp, it is indeed the only one seen in the life of the lower official, even if the red hair is far inferior to the general!"

Tongzhi said frankly.

They were indeed frightened, the defense of Qinzhou is nothing more than the Dragon Gate, as soon as the Dragon Gate is opened, there is basically no play, no matter where the Ming army lands, the final result is that the soldiers will come to Qinzhou, no matter what the result is, Qinzhou City will definitely be shelled. What's more, this is the sailor of the imperial court, if they dare to really resist in Qinzhou, it will be a blatant rebellion, even if the king of Jingjiang is now just saying that the place is poor and has no money to buy the one million taels of treasury bonds, after all, Guangxi's annual tax revenue is only hundreds of thousands. But if you want to say blatantly, I won't give it, even the king of Jingjiang doesn't have the guts, the Ming army has gathered a whole army in Qiongzhou, and once it is killed in a big way, Qinzhou will definitely not be able to stop it.

People are nothing more than asking King Jingjiang for money.

The officials and gentry of Qinzhou couldn't risk killing their heads in order to save money for King Jingjiang, anyway, the Ming army was looking for King Jingjiang to ask for it, and even if they couldn't get it, it would be bad luck for King Jingjiang. They are still thousands of miles away from Guilin, in fact, even the hand of King Jingjiang can't reach out.

Of course, it would be good if the gantry could block it.

After all, it is beneficial for both of them to divide Guangxi.

In the end, the Ming army also has to look at the people to serve the food, if the Longmen battery can block the Ming fleet, then Yang Qing will not be able to fight for a mere one million taels, the words show that the army also spends money like flowing water in the war, and it can't just be for this million, keep burning money off the coast of Qinzhou, right? Fighting a war also has to pay attention to a cost, and a cannonball is a lot of silver.

But if the dragon gate is not blocked, there is no need to entangle it anymore, so admit defeat and give in to it!

As for the battle of the Dragon Gate......

That's the defenders acting on their own!

As for whether the Ming army believes it or not......

Tongzhi's face was full of smiles, like a blooming chrysanthemum, against a silver background, but then he suddenly changed the background.

"Take them all!"

Ma Xin slapped him to the ground and said.

Immediately after that, the heavily armed Ming troops rushed up, slapping the butts of their guns on the ground one by one in the screams of the gentry, and then more soldiers stepped forward and began to tie up......

"General Ma, what do you mean by this?"

The Tongzhi struggled and shouted.

"You said that the defenders of the Dragon Gate opened fire without permission? I also said that you openly rebelled against the king's master! Lock these guys up, and when the rebellious Qinzhou Zhizhou is captured, they will be escorted to Nanjing and handed over to Beiya! You also put the responsibility on a dead man, you are too shameless, even we disdain to do this kind of thing, and besides, you can push it reasonably, a hundred households dare to lead a man-made counterattack on the tens of thousands of troops of the imperial court, what is the difference between you and a village chief who dares to be the emperor! ”

A person behind Ma Xin stepped forward and said disdainfully.

"Who are you?"

Tongzhi asked in amazement.

This person is dressed quite peculiarly, and it is different from Ma Xin, who has a red right side half-length shirt on the top, black trousers on the bottom, and canvas boots. He was directly dressed in a very simple gray cloth, with a placket on the top, layers of cloth leggings under his trousers, the cheapest straw sandals on his feet, and a hat on his head.

"Contemptible Yang Xin, director of the Guangxi Division of the Land Reform Department of Jinyi Wei!"

The man opened the folding fan in his hand and said reservedly.

"Jinyi Wei Land Reform Division, what are you doing?"

Tongzhi looked confused.

"Set fire!"

Yang Xin said with a smile.

He did set the fire, but he also came to do experiments, for many of Yang Qing's future plans. For this reason, Yang Qing formally established a separate land reform department in Jinyiwei, using these fanatical believers to cultivate talents for the comprehensive land reform in the future, and at the same time to completely solve the problems of those Tusi and chaotic nationalities. After all, this kind of thing cannot be done in the classroom, it must be cultivated through practice, and this kind of practice will inevitably lead to a series of troubles and even rebellions, and it is necessary to find a place where it is not a big deal even if it is chaotic.

As a result, Lianzhou Mansion and Nanning Mansion, which are far enough and have sea routes to facilitate control, became his guinea pigs.

Yang Xin didn't come by himself.

He has a land reform team of 500 people!

"Han Tongzhi is not from Guangxi when he hears the accent, right?"

He squatted in front of Tongzhi and said kindly.

"Xia, Xiaguan Henan."

Tongzhi said cautiously.

"Ah, Henan people, that means that you were an official in Guangxi before, and then after the King of Jingjiang rebelled, you had to be coerced, so it's not a big crime, but this time you're wrong! Anyway, where are you from Henan? ”

Yang Xin asked.

"Kai, Kaifeng."

"Kaifeng, isn't that just a fellow villager from the Shi Pavilion Department? I am a sworn brother with the heir of the Shi Pavilion Department, so we have some origins, so I will talk to Brother Han about something. Your crime of rebellion is indispensable, and sending it to Nanjing is also a full house of beheading, even if you are a fellow villager of the Shi Gebu, it is useless, I think you also know how the Shi Gebu is jealous and hateful. But this matter is not something that you can call the shots of a Henan person, seeing that they sent you out to reward the army, you know that you are a cannon fodder, in this case, why not make the merit for the crime? For example, if I find a group of brothers to change into the clothes of these officials and gentry, and add some soldiers, you take them back to Qinzhou, and say that it is negotiated, and take a few generals in the army into the city to drink. ”

"But, but these people all know the defenders on the city wall!"

Of course Han Tongzhi knew what this guy was going to do.

However, speaking of which, he is indeed angry as a northerner in Guangxi, and now the new officials in Guangxi and Guangxi are all tested by local townships, including Qinzhou Zhizhou, who is also a former dismissed official in Guangxi who has been reactivated. The imperial court has officially allowed Liangguang to select officials by township examination, so those who have passed the examination in batches in Guangxi will naturally exclude other provincial officials left over from him for historical reasons. This time, it was indeed Zhizhou who was afraid that the Ming army would cut him down, so he didn't dare to come to the army in person but let him be a substitute for the dead ghost, and once he was convicted of rebellion, then he was originally in Guide, but now his family has moved to Jiangxi, I'm afraid it's really going to be unlucky.

So he doesn't mind making credit for his crimes.

In fact, he was rejoicing at this time, he could take this opportunity to leave Guangxi, and if he returned to Nanjing with a good performance, maybe he could get another official and a half-job, after all, he was the same as Shi Kefa.

"That's easy!"

Yang Xin looked at the gentry who were already dumbfounded and said: "Cut off all their beards, cut them carefully, don't mess up, find some brothers who are similar to their figures, and then get some glue to stick these beards on their mouths, and then go back to Qinzhou after sunset, who can see the black light?" ”

"But with more than 100 people entering at most like this, it is difficult to really control the city gate!"

Ma Xin said.

"Yes, there are still 3,000 wolf soldiers in the city!"

Han quickly adapted to his new role and reported an important piece of information.

King Jingjiang currently theoretically has 30,000 standing troops under his command, 10,000 are new troops, and 20,000 are old troops, but he also has a magic weapon, that is, countless wolf soldiers in Guangxi, that is, those Tusi soldiers who cooperate with him. There are a large number of these people, almost all over Guangxi, western Guizhou is its main concentration area, but eastern Guizhou also has it, mainly used to deal with the Yao people, to wolf to prevent Yao is the Ming Dynasty in Guangxi can be said to be the national policy.

These people are really difficult to deal with.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the army is afraid of them, in fact, as long as they are not in the mountains, the wolf soldiers are braver than the ordinary Ming army in the past.

They are the ones who are really difficult to deal with when they enter the mountains.

"You don't need them to control the gates!"

Yang Xin said with a smile.

"Just blow it up!"

He then added.
