The Suzhou gentry rushed to raise troops before Lanyu began the general offensive with great efficiency.

Actually, it's not that difficult.

The main reason was that the Suzhou Wei commander took 3,000 subordinates to go north with Lan Yu.

Yao Shan, in his capacity as the prefect of Suzhou, invited the remaining generals to drink and discuss how to deal with the possible flow of Qi Tai and other rebels to Taihu Lake. Immediately afterwards, he summoned the civil officials in Suzhou and the gentry of the two counties, and read out the so-called edict of the Daxing Emperor in public.

Then it is to welcome King Wu.

The latter was already waiting outside the city, and a group of civil officials and gentry, led by Yao Shan, went out of the city to welcome King Wu's accession to the domain.

Immediately afterwards, King Wu took a sedan chair and entered Suzhou in the bewildered onlookers of the people of Suzhou, and took the prefect's yamen as a temporary palace, and then issued a notice or promise to the people.

Now it's really the Holy Lord Mingjun.

Even the gentry who didn't know what was going on were all excited.

At the same time, King Wu also issued an order, with his guards not yet formed, to allow the gentry of each county to organize regimental training to protect the territory and the people, as for the funds to raise their own ......

"I really know how to play, is this the rebellion of the people of the Netherlands to make the king of Spain?"

Yang Feng exclaimed.

I have to say that these people are still very smart.

Or it can also be said that they all know what the gentry like, and the self-raising of funds is, of course, the collection of taxes on the pictures, to put it simply, the restoration of the tax system, the gentry have never forgotten the prosperity of the Great Yuan Dynasty again, and they have been nostalgic for the Great Yuan until the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It's easier to run a regiment to practice, it's just that it's only been 30 years, and 30 years ago, didn't these landlords all have their own private arms? Now organize the young men who can fight in the clan to be officers, and then take the Japanese slaves, Korean slaves, and Annan slaves as soldiers, the weapons are not worth mentioning, at this time Sugang is still Sugang, and there are a large number of cold weapons among the people, like the gentry's house, who does not have a few cold weapons.

Bows and arrows are available.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang encouraged the people to hold cold weapons and encouraged the people to practice archery, so there is really no shortage of these things.

That is, there are no firearms.

But this only takes a little time, and if you go all out, those iron-smelting workshops near Suzhou can quickly make all the firearms currently in use, even flintlock pistols, because the Sugang workshops here can already make spring plates.

"They still have to be able to withstand the first wave of attacks from the imperial court."

Sister Liu said.

Suzhou Wei did solve it.

Although there were still many soldiers and Yu Ding of Suzhou Wei who could be organized, after Yao Shan detained all the generals, Qi Tai immediately stepped forward to fool the soldiers of Suzhou Wei with the edict of Emperor Daxing, and at the same time moved a large amount of money and goods from the bank to reward.

The latter couldn't tell whether what they said was true or false in the confusion, and they didn't make the decision, so they simply chose to sit back and watch.

It was mainly the early propaganda that made the vast majority of soldiers believe in the story of the emperor's killing of his brother......

Uh, can't tell a story.

The rumors just told him in advance what he was going to do next.

It doesn't mean that he was wronged.

If Zhu Yunwen does not flee, when Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral is over, it is true that all rumors will become true, and in this case, the soldiers cannot be said to have a good impression of the emperor, for them this is still just a brotherly infighting of the royal family. Moreover, King Guangze belongs to the victim, and the emperor belongs to the tyrant who killed his brother, so since there is no one in charge, and the court has no order, what do you do with a group of small soldiers. Honestly stick to the military camps everywhere, the commanders and envoys in the city, and then wait and see the situation!

In short, Suzhou Wei did not interfere.

Of course, the key is actually that the Suzhou gentry and Wu Wangzhen gave money.

But there is not only Suzhou Wei in Suzhou.

Jinshanwei, Taicang Wei, Zhenhaiwei, and Wu Song and other guards are all around here.

The nearest Taicang has two guards.

At this time, the guards were not the scum later, and the grass platform team like the gentry could not withstand their attack, even if they were only partially left behind, as long as the reaction was fast enough, it was enough to gather a few thousand soldiers to attack Suzhou. In fact, even the word attack may not be used, after all, it is impossible for those gentry to complete the group training in a short period of time, even if they have Japanese slaves, it will take time to make them up, and it will not take long to get from Taicang to Suzhou.

But......

"Ma He, the time has come to test his loyalty to King Yan."

Yang Feng said.

Ma He's fleet is in Taicang.

He is loyal to Zhu Di, so he must do things to cooperate with the Suzhou gentry.

He is loyal to Zhu Yunxi, then the Suzhou gentry will die.

"Master, the commander of Lu Du asks to see you."

Green Slave said.

"Let him come."

Yang Feng said.

Lu Zhen listened to him completely now.

And Huining Dusi currently has five guards, nine guarding thousands of households, in fact, they all listen to him, Huining Wei, Jilin Wei, Longquan Wei, Whale Haiwei, Wuguo Wei, although Zhu Yuanzhang said before that he would abolish some of the guards, but since Yang Feng can guarantee military supplies, not only did he not cut it, but it actually increased.

For example, the addition of fishing and the sea guard of the thousand households.

It also belonged to Huiningdusi, and all military supplies had to be transported from Huining.

Plus Hokkaido, a guard of the Thousand Households.

The area of Huining is vast, from the Hulunbuir grassland to Hokkaido, and to the north is the Arctic Ocean, but in fact, the number of Han military households in Huining is about the same as the number of Yang Feng's reclamation team. Although the former has a large number of establishments, there are only one thousand Han households in one guard, and there are actually two or three Han people in one thousand households, plus the merchants and craftsmen in Huining and other cities, as well as a small number of civil officials who wash their faces with tears every day, the military and civilian registrations of the entire Huining Prefecture are less than 20,000 households. As for the nationality, of course, it is mainly Yang Feng's reclamation team, but this is only the Han people, if you add those Mongolian vultures and other messes who also belong to the five guards, as well as all kinds of slaves and maids, this group directly under the imperial court still has a population of nearly 200,000, which is very rare in this kind of place.

In fact, Yang Feng felt that he even had a bit of the taste of our Qing Dynasty.

It's true.

Although he was mainly Han Chinese, he treated all ethnic groups in this group equally, and never favored one over the other in the supply of military supplies, in fact, even those slaves were loyal to him.

What happened to the slaves?

In the past, the Korean and Japanese slaves had little to eat, but now they were fed every day, although rice and flour were only occasionally fed because they had to be transported from the interior. But sorghum rice wowotou, soybean oil stir-fried vegetables, bean sprouts, etc. can be eaten casually, not to mention that Huining in this era is a roe deer scoop fish, and these fish are also not lacking. Even because of the stable symbiotic relationship with the surrounding herders and the abundance of dairy products, these slaves were regarded as a happy land, and were occasionally scolded and whipped......

The whip of the master is a gift to them.

Could it be that they were not whipped in Korea and the Wa Kingdom in the past?

Not only will you be whipped, but you will also be hungry!

"Ambassador, the Marquis of Rinan asked when to send troops, and he has received a holy decree asking him to lead his army to attack Daning and solve the Ning Domain."

Lu Zhen came over and saluted and said.

"And then?

The emperor himself still didn't say that his uncles were rebelling, did he have to solve the Liao Domain's guards first when he attacked Daning? After solving the Liao Domain's guards and then the Ning Domain's guards, a cannonball accidentally fell into the palace and killed a Fengzi Dragon Sun, and afterwards their uncle and nephew were still a family, how was Yang Wen going to face the revenge of the Fengzi Dragon Grandson?

He's not a young man anymore, and he doesn't understand this kind of thing?

As long as the holy decree does not say that these vassal kings are rebels, the family will still be a family.

He's still just an outsider.

What does he do as an outsider in charge of other people's family affairs?

If the emperor clearly decrees that his uncles and brothers are rebelling, I will take you south to King Qin, but as long as he is not clear about this, we will keep it honestly, if he really attacks Guangning and kills the son of the King of Liao, I can't control the little princess to trouble him in the future. ”

Yang Feng said.

Lu Zhen nodded.

Ambassador Yang is right!

As long as the emperor doesn't say that his uncles rebelled, they are still phoenixes and dragons, and there will be any accidents in the fight.

If you want to attack Daning, you have to solve the Liao domain first, once you forcibly attack Guangning, it must be indispensable to use cannons, in case any cannonball falls into the palace and kills a phoenix dragon grandson, then it is really hard to say. Even if the emperor understands that it is useless to be a loyal minister, others will retaliate, King Liao has five sons, although they are only a few years old, but this is the nephew of the little princess, and they are all treasures. Not to mention being accidentally injured by a cannonball, she has to face her anger when she is frightened and sick, and this is Guo Ying's grandson, and the Guo family's power is not comparable to Yang Wen.

There's really no need to be too positive about this kind of thing.

"You tell Yang Wen that everyone is an old brother, he is now a marquis, and he doesn't need to fight for any wealth and glory, just be safe and stable."

Yang Feng said.

Lu Zhen then took his leave.

That's fine, it's enough to make Yang Wen honest.

In fact, this war has been fought for several months, and now it seems that spring has not been solved, the key is this problem, Zhu Yunxi never said that his uncles were rebels. For him, it is indeed taking care of family affection, and it seems that he is actually very benevolent, after all, the death of King Xiang made him very embarrassed.

But......

So how can the front line fight like this?

You are still a family, even if you meet now, you are still a family, what are we outsiders fighting for your family affairs?

On the opposite side is the anti-thief, and we fight to the death.

But on the other side are your uncles and brothers, we fought desperately to kill them, and then you punished us afterwards to show that you are still benevolent and virtuous, all of us who lead soldiers are ignorant? Even afterwards, they are still the grandsons of Fengzi and Long, they are still vassal kings, we are still ministers, maybe one day they will be retaliated against, what do we want?

None have the motivation to fight.

That's good.

There can be enough time for the situation to continue to unfold.

However, Lao Zhu's funeral is going to be delayed.

Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal, it was a big deal to keep him icing.

And right now.

Suzhou.

"These dog things, these dog things!"

Ambassador Yang's old friend, the former Suzhou Weizhen Fu Han Sheng's lips trembled, looking at the subordinates who were being violently beaten by a platoon of guns under the city wall in front of him.

He is the only one who is still outside among the generals left behind in Suzhou, to be precise, he has retired at this time, his son has been hereditarily suppressed, and when Yao Shan raised his army, he was in Jinshanwei. Because of its close relationship with Yang Feng, the Han family's business has been booming over the years, and Jinshanwei itself is also a commercial port, so there are also many industries there.

After retirement, he ran on both sides and ran the family's business.

After Yao Shan raised his army, he arrested his son, and his two grandsons escaped from Suzhou and ran to Jinshanwei to find him for help, he immediately found the commander of Jinshanwei, and it was also his own family who asked for 500 elites, and then personally led a raid on Suzhou by boat. In his opinion, Yao Shan's army is simply funny, a civil official with a group of gentry, relying on some Japanese slaves to rebel, this is simply laughing to death. As long as he could return to Suzhou City, it was enough to rely on his deterrent, so he didn't take it seriously at all, and five hundred elite soldiers rushed to the city of Suzhou, and then found a ladder to climb the city wall. He brought these all iron armor and cloth cloth cans, even if those gentry could arm a few Japanese slaves, they were nothing more than bows and arrows, and those soft bows of the people could not shoot through this set of protection at all.

As soon as he climbed the city wall and opened the gates, he went in and shouted, and the gentry knelt.

They are all decades old acquaintances.

He knew what the gentry were.

Besides, even if there are those who dare not kneel, they can only pick up the whip and smash it.

Civilian-bureaucratic rebellion?

Isn't this nonsense?

The gentry raised an army?

Can their bodies and bones endowed with poetry be able to carry more than a dozen catties of iron whips?

However......

The sound of gunfire shattered his dreams.

Five hundred elites are falling in the roar of bullets.

"No, this is not your Suzhou Wei, Suzhou Wei only has rapid-fire guns and no magic guns.

We don't have so many magic guns. ”

Jin Shanwei, who led the team beside him, said a thousand households.

On the opposite side of the Suzhou city wall, the musketeers who suddenly appeared were still firing at the Jinshanwei soldiers who were already retreating, and they were obviously well-trained and accurate in marksmanship, so this was not a Japanese slave or a gentry armed with young men and strong, but a real elite of the official army. And there are a lot of them, at least at the level of a thousand people, even after deducting the more than 100 cavalry that is said to be carried by Fang Xiaoru, there are suddenly thousands more elites in this city.

And it wasn't the soldiers of Suzhou Wei who defected.

Because Suzhou Weiwei, as an old army that had not fought for a long time, did not have a magic weapon at all.

After the pacification of the Wa Kingdom, there was no war in this area, including coastal guards such as Jinshanwei, and at most they occasionally went out to sea to patrol, but in fact, because of the strength of the sailors, there were not even many pirates, and these guards have basically begun to retire.

New weapons, of course, will not be their turn.

"Of course it's not the soldiers of Suzhou Wei, this Tama is Ma He's sailors over there in Taicang, and he has tens of thousands of sailors there, hurry up and report to the capital, Ma He colluded with the Suzhou anti-party, the rumors are right, those cavalry under Fang Xiaoru are the people of King Yan."

Old Han said hatefully.

Then he waved his hand......

"Retreat, with them, our people can't open Suzhou at all.

Ma, as soon as I heard that Yang Feng died at sea, I was bold. ”

He said.
