The army marched eastward.

There are so many tributaries of the Yangtze River, and the army is turning around in the south of the Yangtze River, and the speed of travel is much slower than that of the Central Plains.

Fortunately, there are many bridges in Jiangnan, but it doesn't matter. Our tanks also collapsed several bridges, and those Nanban rushed over to us to lose money.

I didn't bother to pay attention to them, so I gave a few gold dollars and sent them away. But more people rushed over and sold us all sorts of things.

That's when I realized that they were all illegal!

You see, there are people who sell grain, there are people who sell clothes, there are people who sell farm tools, there are people who sell meat, and there are even people who pimp.

Strictly speaking, these are all private gangs, and according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they are all to be executed, but they are so blatantly sold!

In the Greater Chang'an District of Gyeonggi, although there are a lot of transactions there, the background is full of scholars and royals, and the guys who sell things can't even make the price of the master, and the service is not good; But in Jiangnan, the guy who sells things can adjust the price at will, change places at will, and the service is also very good, as if it is his own business - this shows that it is his own business.

They also speak in different voices, including Gyeonggi, Central Plains, Hebei, Shandong, and more in various southern dialects.

They were so enthusiastic about selling their stuff that we were embarrassed to rob it.

You see, since we got out of Tongguan, it was robbed all the way. Grab what you see, grab what is useful and useless first.

But when we come to Jiangnan, there are sold everywhere, and we still grab a fart!

I once said that Xiangyang City is as prosperous as Xi'an County and Chang'an County, and I must add now that the entire Jiangnan Province is as prosperous as Xiangyang City! It seems that the whole province of Gangnam is like this.

No wonder Jiangnan Province is the richest in the world, think about it, how much money can be collected just by collecting business taxes?

There is no commercial tax in the Ming Empire, because they don't buy and sell - and even if there is, it is an illegal trade by private gangs, and you can't tax illegal things, right? Even if it is collected, it is the black money of the officials and cannot be handed over to the state treasury.

The taxes of the Ming Empire were mainly human taxes and conscription. As for the official business, hey, don't mention it, they can't even support their own officials, and what do they mention to hand over to the state treasury.

For example, the Ministry of Salt, the Ming Empire has 1 million officials of the Ministry of Salt, but they not only can't pay a little gold yuan every year, but have to spend hundreds of thousands of gold dollars! If you compare it with the Salt Gang, people have made offerings to corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they have made a lot of money one by one.

Those people gathered more and more, and even formed a bazaar.

A strange word popped up in my head, "Eat pot pulp". Look at them, one by one holding fried dough sticks and steamed bun broth, isn't this like welcoming Master Wang? But we're rebels! You're welcome to fart!

There are even Dan Dan Gang who want to help us carry weapons and ammunition away, and Qinglou Gang who want to lure my loyal and innocent forbidden soldiers. We're all eunuchs, you're a seduce!

That's not going to work. If this continues, this invincible forbidden army in the world will soon be submerged in Gentle Township.

I thought about it and finally came up with a good solution. I stood on the tank, pushed a group of children who were lying on the cannon, picked up the loudspeaker, cleared my throat, and said, "Listen! Don't follow any more, for I've run out of money! From now on, I don't have a copper dollar left. Even if you sell it, I won't pay for it. ”

The crowd disappeared with a bang, and there was not even a single radish left on the ground. The forbidden army was eating fritters, and the Jiangnan people directly took away half of the fritters in their mouths!

It's finally settled.

But another group of people came.

Someone said: "Does the soldier want a loan?" I'm the Protector of the Left, I see that your forbidden army is so powerful, I'll take you to rob, right? Let's go rob Xiangyang! If we don't want to rob Xiangyang, we will rob the local tyrants! Just grab it and pay us some interest......"

Someone said, "It's okay if you don't have money!" Come to work in our Jiangnan Security Association! Protecting the family and the hospital, eliminating violence and peace is our aim! With the soldier's tank artillery, who wants Wudang protection, let's eat and drink spicy food together, and enjoy the glory and wealth......"

I picked up my pistol and fired a shot into the air: "Get out!" ”

It's finally settled.

The army reluctantly walked along the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the further east it went, the more desolate the scenery became, as if even crops and trees were no longer growing—that was because Jiangnan Lake was coming.

Jiangnan Lake, the largest lake in the world, is at the junction of Jiangnan Province, Jiangdong Province, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces, covering an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers.

Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangdong have both declared Jiangnan Lake their territory, and they have been fighting for Jiangnan Lake for thousands of years.

Jiangnan Lake has only one specialty: fish, and there are a lot of fish, and most of the fish in Daming (well, in fact, I don't know what it's called now) are produced by it. There is a lot of water in Daming, especially in the north, and there is not even a river or a lake.

In the north, there is a Yellow River for millions of square kilometers, and the Yellow River is full of sediment and does not grow fish at all.

The south has a population of more than 2 billion people, and all the lakes have been reclaimed into farmland.

The Yangtze River is clear, but unfortunately the water is too urgent, and it is not easy to catch fish.

Therefore, a pound of fish in the Ming Dynasty can be exchanged for 100 catties of rice in the south, and it was smuggled to the north by the fish gang, and the fish is worth more than silver.

Therefore, Jiangdong Province and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces fought for Jiangnan Lake.

Someone asked, why didn't Jiangnan Province fight? People have money, money is worth more than life, can they fight for a few fish?

Jiangdong Province and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province are both hegemons in the south of the Yangtze River, which are quite difficult to deal with.

The capital of Jiangdong Province is Jinling, Nanjing, with a population of 300 million, the largest navy in the world, and even Chang'an is not in sight.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces occupy most of the eastern coast, with a population of 400 million and the second largest navy in the world.

I ordered the army to stop, because there was a superweapon to be prepared.

I am not only to deal with the Jiangdong Army and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Army, but also to deal with the impending chaos in the world.

A few days ago, the news came that there was a big war going on in the world.

In the far north, Liaodong is in the midst of a full-scale civil war. I don't know who is fighting with whom, in short, the whole of Liaodong - or the Qing Empire - is in a civil war. A super province with a population of 600 million, a super rich province with five horses per capita, the fight will definitely be earth-shattering.

In the far south, even the traditionally peaceful Lingnan – or the Great Min Empire – was in civil war. It is said that it was a civil war between the Lin family, and the two sides fought and made peace.

In the west, the army of the Han Emperor Liu Xingchao was besieging Ganzhou, while the cavalry of Xiliang and Liaoxi were maneuvering with him in the grassland.

It is said that Sichuan has completely closed off the Great Wall of Sichuan, and it is not known what they are doing inside.

The Central Plains in the north is even more chaotic, where there is no longer a few sides fighting for hegemony, but hundreds of sides fighting chaotically.

The superweapon I'm going to prepare is the Super Nerve Gas Bomb. In fact, it is quite easy to make, remove the iron core from the warhead of the shell and replace it with two bottles, one bottle with poison gas and one bottle with poison enhancer. When fighting, send it more than a dozen kilometers with artillery, "boom", and everything is over.

I made ten of these shells and put them at the end of the line. I also told the soldiers in the back to throw away and flee as soon as they found a gas leak.

All preparations are made, and the army is finally about to pass through Jiangnan Lake.

The first one to encounter was the Jiangsu and Zhejiang army. It was a water city composed of thousands of small boats, and the flag of the Ming Emperor, the flag of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and the flag of Fuzhou fluttered above the walled city.

Thousands of people wearing black shoes, black rain and black hats rushed over and blocked the outside. The leader had a goatee and his hair was braided and hung down around his waist.

He pulled out his sword from his waist, pointed at my nose and said, "I am Yu Erlang, the master of the Jiangzhejiang Fish Gang. Bold Jiangnan child, you dare to come and rob our fish, don't you want to live? ”

I said, "This ...... In fact, we are from Chang'an, and we want to go to Liaodong, passing by the treasure land, please let us go! ”

He brandished his sword: "You are a fool to me! From Chang'an to Liaodong, through Xiliang and Liaoxi! ”

I frowned: "You make everyone else stupid, just be smart!" Xiliang and Liaoxi are the territory of the imperial court, if I can go over, can I not go? I went to the coast along the Yangtze River, and then went north to Liaodong along the coast. ”

He was furious: "Lie! I see you with such a strange car, this must have come to us to steal fish! ”

I said, "It's a tank......

He shouted: "Come on, hack this group of Jiangnan people......"

They rushed over brandishing machetes.

Before I could speak, the heavy machine gun on the armored car next to me opened fire. There is no doubt that this Fish Gang Hall Master was directly beaten into a beecomb, and the rest of the people fled to the walled city.

We continued along the shore of the lake, Jiangnan Lake was too big, like the sea, and we were going around to the south.

But the Fish Gang harassed us from time to time.

They first drove a small boat and shot arrows at us, but we were killed by our machine guns.

Then they sneak up in the water and drag our fighters into the water and drown, so we stay away.

In the end, they scolded us in the main village, and the language was unbearable.

I got angry and ordered a super cannonball to be fired at the Fish Gang Headquarters.

The gunners of the forbidden army calculated for a long time, and one blow hit the soul.

All the people in the main village immediately fell, and the sound was gone, and it was as quiet as a dead city.

-

-

Maybe they are dead, or maybe they are scared, in short, no one dares to harass us in Jiangsu and Zhejiang after that.

We walked south for a few days, then east for a day, to the border of Koto.

As soon as I crossed the border of Jiangdong Province, I saw another water walled city composed of thousands of small boats, and the flag of the Ming Emperor, Jiangdong Province, and Jinling City fluttered above the walled city.

Thousands of people wearing green mango shoes, green rain and green hats rushed over and blocked in front of us.

The leader was bearded, bareheaded, and shining.

He pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed at my nose and said, "I am the Jiangdong Fish Gang's Left Protector Fish Daxiao. Bold Jiangsu and Zhejiang children, you dare to come and rob our fish, don't you want to live? ”

I said, "How dare you stand in the way?" Do you know what happened to the Fish Gang we just met? ”

Him: "They are the Middle Fish Gang, we are the Xia Yu Gang, it's different!" Above Xiangyang is the Shangyu Gang, below Xiangyang to Jiangnan Lake is the Middle Fish Gang, and we are the Xiayu Gang in the lower reaches of Jiangnan Lake! The toll you pay them doesn't count with us! I want to re-turn in! ”

Me: "You're not bothered! I'm a rebel in Chang'an, and I'm not here to pay you tolls! We pass by your broken ground because we can afford you, and those who dare to stand in my way will be killed! ”

He was furious: "Traitor of the Ming Dynasty! Anyone can punish it! Kill! ”

There is no doubt that they are also dead.

Their Xiayu Gang also sent people to attack them continuously, and I gave them another shot, and thousands of them died.

It's not that I want to kill them, it's that they want to die.

There were a large number of dead fish in the lake, and the lake was covered with silver light, and I didn't want to kill the fish, all of which were accidental injuries.

There was a forbidden army who wanted to pick up and eat, Zhang Kangning said: "Don't eat it, it was poisoned to death." ”

I said, "It's okay! The poison was toxic for only a few hours, and it decomposed early. You can eat it! ”

We caught a lot of fish.

There is no limit to food in the world, but fish is very precious. I haven't eaten a few times in the palace for a few years, let alone them.

We ate the fish and flew into the sky with joy. The fish is so delicious, how can there be such a delicious fish! The fish in the palace are not as delicious as these!
