Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Fat Sheep Worth Ten Million Taels

The poor crown prince had no choice but to drag his two still bleeding legs, and crawled behind Yang Feng like a dog.

And the vicious demon often thinks he crawls slowly, kicks him with his foot.

Fortunately, less than half a mile after he climbed out, a few scattered guards had the courage to come forward, of course, it was not to rescue him, those guards also knew that they didn't have that ability, they silently walked to Yinren's side, seeing that Yang Feng had no intention of stopping him, so they hurriedly bandaged his wounds, and found a few pieces of broken cotton armor to connect them as stretchers, put Yinren in it and carried it, and then ......

Follow behind Yang Feng.

They walked forward for about a mile, and Zhao Hongcan, the governor of Zhejiang, who commanded the battle on the front line, led the main force of the Qing army to arrive, but he was also dumbfounded when he encountered this situation.

Of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to attack Yang Feng, in that case, the demon would be the first to kill the prince first, and then he would wait for the nine clans, even if he didn't punish him now, he would definitely be punished in the future, so although he had an army of nearly 10,000 people, he could only watch the demon riding on his horse from a distance, and the four guards behind him carried the prince with their pockets to follow, and slowly walked towards the Ming warship on the bank of the Yongjiang River.

But he didn't dare to make any moves, and even the attack on Zhenhai was stopped by him.

In fact, Zhao Hongcan didn't want to fight, he led nearly 50,000 troops under the command of eight general soldiers to storm Zhenhai, and the casualties have exceeded 15,000 so far, considering the mortality rate of the wounded soldiers, the number of Qing troops who died in the end of this battle must be more than 10,000. The number of Ming troops on the city wall not only did not decrease, but continued to increase, and those ships shuttling through the sea were constantly bringing batches of Ming troops from the fixed sea no more than a few dozen miles away, and then disembarking directly at the dock and putting them into the battlefield. The Ming army's supply capacity even surpassed that of the Qing army, and tens of thousands of people were forcibly requisitioned from Ningbo to send materials in small carts and ox carts, which could be delivered by only a few ships.

There is no comparison between weapons and others, soldiers and others, logistics and supplies are not comparable to others, this is completely a battle without any hope, it can be said that as long as the sea transportation line of the Ming army is not cut off, he will never be able to take Zhenhai.

Zhao Hongcan finally watched helplessly as Yinren was taken onto the warship by Yang Feng.

As for the next, it can only be said that it is fate, including himself, after all, this time is a fiasco, even the prince was captured, and the governor was pinched and his neck was broken, as the main front-line commander, he must be held responsible, whether he loses his official position or beheads depends on the mood of the long-lived lord. The depressed Admiral Zhao hastily ended the day's battle, packed up the remnants of the army and retreated to five miles outside Zhenhai City, camped outside the cannon range on the city wall, and prepared for a long-term confrontation, while he rushed to Hangzhou to find the new governor of Zhejiang, Zhang Zhidong, to study the next step.

The main thing, of course, is how to rescue the prince.

As for Dan Dai, he is already ready to treat this guy as a dead man, lose Zhenhai, escape from the battle, and abandon the prince, no matter which crime is enough to cut off his head.

And just when the chickens and dogs were jumping in the Qing army, Yang Feng was already holding Yinren to the exhibition in Zhenhai City.

This guy hurriedly made a wooden cage, about the size of a dog cage, just enough for Yinren to sit in it with his legs curled up and his head down, and he himself carried it with a wooden stick, like a lantern, leisurely exhibiting on the streets of Zhenhai. Because at this time, the people of Zhenhai hated Kang Mazi and gritted their teeth, and now Kang Mazi's son picked it in front of him like this, so why don't you hurry up and have revenge and complain? Although Yang Feng said that he couldn't kill him, he still allowed it to take a wooden stick and stick it twice, and make some rotten fish smell **** and smash it.

Poor Yinren suffered in humiliation, fear, and pain for almost a whole hour, and then Yang Dashuai was thrown into the water with a cage and washed away, and then loaded the Valkyrie and returned to Changguo.

At this time, Zhoushan had already changed its name.

Zhoushan Island plus all the surrounding islands under the control of the Ming army, officially classified as Changguo Mansion, here was actually originally called Changguo from the Song Dynasty, abandoned after the ban on Hongwuhai, even Changguo Wei moved to Xiangshan, during this period Zhoushan this is only the name of a ferry on the island was gradually used, to the Chenghua period to completely replace the old name of Changguo.

As for the name Dinghai, it was changed by Kang Mazi not long ago, and the original Dinghai was actually Zhenhai.

After Yang Feng began to formally divide the administrative region, it was natural that the name Changguo was louder, and when Song Shenzong gave this name, it meant that the country was prosperous.

In this way, the administrative region officially controlled by the Ming Dynasty has two prefectures, Changguo Mansion and Keelung Mansion, the latter name was originally given in the Guangxu period in history, which means the base Changlong, obviously this name can also be used directly, anyway, there is no difference in the pronunciation of the chicken coop and Keelung, so it has also become the name of Yang Dashuai.

Huang Baijia, the prefect of Changguo, had already been notified, and although he was shocked by Yang Feng capturing the Tartar prince alive, Lao Huang still quickly held a welcome ceremony and made tens of thousands of people welcome the marshal at the dock to return triumphantly again. However, when Yang Dashuai walked out of the boat with Yinren like a lantern, the old man still couldn't help but have a feeling of wanting to cover his face.

"Dashuai, this, why do you give people at least some face, right?"

He said to his son-in-law a little speechlessly.

"Face? The son of a barbarian chieftain, what is he, does he need to give him face? It would be polite to be able to leave him a dog's life, and he will rush the blood debt of the four generations of wild boar skin, the most reasonable disposal of this goods is to find a craftsman with a small blade, do you have any opinion on the current treatment? ”

Yang Feng looked at Yinren in the cage with disdain and said.

"Don't, don't, don't kill me, I'm fine in there!"

Yinren was so frightened that he immediately screamed, and curled up backwards in horror, just like those weak girls whose hearts were traumatized, it was obvious that his heart was also greatly traumatized.

"You see, he himself says he's good!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction

"What are you going to do with him?"

As soon as Lao Huang heard this, he knew that Yang Feng was not going to kill Yinren, so he hurriedly asked.

"He should be worth ten million taels of silver, right?"

Yang Feng said.

"It's not worth so much, the annual income of the Tartar Imperial Court is only thirty or forty million taels a year, but the expenditure is far more than this number, and this year it has built a lot of warships and firearms, and it is certain that the income will not be able to make ends meet, according to the intelligence, Kangxi has begun to raise taxes and sell officials. With Kangxi's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to take out one-third of his annual income in exchange for this son, he has a bunch of sons, no more of this one, no less of this one, not to mention that such a huge sum of money is still for his enemies. ”

Huang Baijia said.

"Kang Mazi will definitely not change, but the officials of Fujian and Zhejiang will definitely change, as long as his treasury is not moved, even if he knows, he will pretend not to know."

"But no matter how much Fujian and Zhejiang provinces search, they can't find 10 million taels of silver, even if they add two rivers, it's difficult."

"The sky-high asking price, sit on the ground and pay back, 10 million is not, 5 million is always available!"

After speaking, Yang Feng waved to a guard who followed, and the latter hurriedly stepped forward to serve with a sad face.

Yang Feng looked at him and said: "You, go to Hangzhou and tell the governor of Zhejiang, just say that if you want your prince to go back, then send 10 million taels of silver, of course, gold of the same value is fine, give him a month to prepare, if you can't send it in a month, I will feed His Royal Highness the prince to the dogs, maybe I will send a copy to Kang Mazi." ”

"Ten million?"

The guard said in a trembling voice.

"You're a surprised fart who sent a letter, and you didn't pay for it, just 10 million, a lot? Copy a few salt merchants and come out. ”

Yang Feng glared at him and said.

The guard was so frightened that he quickly shut up.

sent the guard away, and then Yang Dashuai picked Yinren to exhibit in the city, and then returned to his Dashuai official office and picked Yinren directly to the back prison. This prison is also the only prison in Changguo, there are also a lot of criminal prisoners in it, gloomy, dirty, full of rats and bedbugs crawling around, the prison director is still the original prison director of Dinghai County, well versed in the way of torturing prisoners, as soon as he saw that His Royal Highness the Prince was invited in, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well, don't be slow, he is worth 10 million taels."

Yang Feng threw Yinren to him and said.

Yinren was already a lot more sober at this time, probably because he heard that Yang Feng was going to exchange him for money and knew that he still had a chance to live, so he was not so panicked and desperate, he was sitting in the cage at this time looking at this gloomy prison, and the prisoners in the cells on both sides got up and looked at him with malicious eyes, like a group of hungry wolves surrounding the little sheep.

"Dashuai, can you tell the little one what to pay attention to?"

The prison warden looked at Yinren with a smile as he spoke, and his eyes were like hungry wolves.

"Need attention? Don't kill him, don't cripple him, don't disfigure him, how to be a prince if he disfigures him, as for the rest, it's up to you. ”

Yang Feng thought for a while and said.

"That ......"

The warden rubbed his hands a little shyly and said, "Can that little one walk his dry road?" ”

"What?"

Yang Feng exclaimed, subconsciously took a step back away from this guy, and then pointed at him and said indignantly: "You shameless person." ”

The warden's face darkened.

"That, find a few more brothers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince estimates that he is also very lonely, and it is okay for everyone to accompany him!"

Then Yang Dashuai said again.

"Thank you for your grace."

After the prison warden finished speaking in surprise, he immediately dragged out His Royal Highness the Prince, who had not yet understood, and rushed to a nearby room impatiently, and then Yinren screamed in horror inside: "What are you going to do, don't come here, I am the prince, I will punish you Nine Clans!" Ah, you tap, I've got sores! ”

Yang Feng shuddered for a moment, and then looked at the cells on both sides, those who stood up together, grabbed the cell door with both hands, and stared at the prisoners in that room with eager and expectant eyes, this guy couldn't help but mourn for the juhua of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for three seconds.
