Ma He did not disappoint Yang Feng in the end, he was still loyal to Zhu Di after all.

Of course, he did not openly defect.

On the same day that Han Sheng's failed raid on Suzhou, Ma He's fleet abruptly left Taicang.

Without receiving any orders, and without explaining the reason for leaving, this fleet is currently the strongest fleet on the Yangtze River and even along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, quietly sailed away from Taicang, and then sailed out of the Yangtze River into the sea.

After all, if they do defect, they may land on any coast at any time......

Ma Heke is a confidant of King Yan.

And this fleet was also built under the auspices of King Yan himself.

It has been confirmed in the city of Suzhou that it is Ma and a thousand sailors under him.

Although they were sailors, their actual combat effectiveness was not weaker than that of the Shenji Battalion, and in order to ensure that they could solve the resistance of the natives by force in the event of an accident after arriving in the Americas, this sailor was not only equipped with the latest equipment, but also trained almost with the same tactics as the Shenji Battalion. And Ma He's fleet currently has more than 8,000 sailors, and his warships also have powerful artillery on the opposite shore, once he really attacks the coastal guard, with the current strength of the coastal guard, it is really difficult to guarantee that it will not be captured. So don't talk about Taicang, Jinshan and other guards don't dare to move, even a few guards along the coast of Zhejiang also don't dare to move, they are schooners, not only fast but also almost don't care about the wind direction, from the mouth of the Yangtze River can raid Hangzhou in a few days.

Ma He's move gave Yao Shan in Suzhou the time to form a group training to the greatest extent.

The gentry from Kunshan, Wujiang, Changshu, Changzhou, Songjiang and other places in Changzhou, Wuxian and even Changzhou, Songjiang, and other places that secretly joined the country took the opportunity to quickly transport batches of Japanese slaves to Suzhou, and also transported a large number of weapons, including firearms and ammunition, obtained by various means to Suzhou.

This is when they are extremely efficient.

After all, this time the gentry really fought for their ideals.

Not to mention anything else, just a tax package system made them seem to have returned to the happiest Dayuan prosperous era.

After serving the foreign conquerors, they can wantonly enslave the people, and many of them can even exercise some kind of privilege, which is not only exercised by the gentry of southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu in the Qing Dynasty, but also by the Zhejiang gentry of the Yuan Dynasty. The inevitability of foreign conquerors, after all, they don't need to care about face, they just want a stable provision, so they can give the gentry the privileges of the poor at the bottom to the maximum.

It's a swap.

In exchange for the latter to give them loot wealth and ensure their enjoyment.

And the latter is protected by force, and can plunder the people to their heart's content, without worrying that when the people rebel, they are not able to suppress it, and their masters will take action.

In fact, it's like the land kings of India.

The nostalgia of the Ming gentry for the prosperous era of the Great Yuan is no different from the attachment of the Indian land kings to the British.

While the gentry in Suzhou were reorganizing their armies and waiting to meet the imperial court's crusade, the gentry from all over the country, including Zhejiang, dragged down the officers and soldiers who were going to Suzhou in various ways to buy them as much time as possible.

Clogged canals.

Destruction of bridges.

and even colluded with bandits to burn grain depots.

……

From Zhejiang to Zhili, almost all the gentry and local civil officials tacitly created obstacles for the officers and troops who marched into Suzhou.

The same goes for civil servants.

They don't necessarily support Zhu Yunwen.

After all, these civil officials are from other places, for example, Yao Shan is actually from Huguang Yingcheng, their real purpose is this model of local confrontation against the imperial court, if the Suzhou gentry can succeed, then of course the gentry in their hometown can also follow suit. In the final analysis, the so-called Zhu Yunwen promised those gentry everywhere are eager, don't the Fujian gentry like to open up trade to the sea?

Don't the Guangdong gentry like to open up the banking sector?

Don't the Sichuan gentry like to cancel the tea?

Didn't the gentry like to open up the salt industry?

Everyone likes those, but they don't dare to jump out for the time being, but they dare to secretly cooperate and make trouble for the emperor, so not only do it locally, but even some officials of the imperial court will secretly cooperate.

For example, when it comes to the transportation of military supplies, a small mistake can have a major impact.

There were even local officials and gentry who directly bought the official army in the name of the army.

Treat the army!

Reasonable.

But how can so much wine and meat have to delay the generals and soldiers for half a day?

In the end, relying on their concerted efforts, Zhu Yunxi sent an army of the Shenji Battalion from the capital, and it was also the only army he left in the capital, it took fifteen days to reach Suzhou, and the heavy artillery carried was blocked by a sunken ship in the Xicheng Canal, and it could not be transported in a short time, and the leader of this army was Wu Shou'an, the younger brother of Wu Gao, the Marquis of Jiangyin, who did not wait for heavy artillery, and directly ordered a strong attack on Suzhou.

As for the outcome of the battle......

"Wu Shou'an failed.

His Shenji battalion's performance is actually qualified, and it is also very brave, once rushed to the city wall, but was eventually driven off the city wall, it is said that the Suzhou gentry scraped together hundreds of grenades, and at the most critical time, they relied on this batch of grenades to blow up the Shenji battalion back, I have to say that you originally threw grenades, and now it is still a disaster.

Moreover, Wu Shou'an's logistics team was attacked by Taihu Lake bandits, and a batch of ammunition was blown up, mainly because the magistrate led people to treat the transport team, and as a result, everyone from officers to soldiers drank too much.

It could also be drugged.

In short, dozens of bandits completed the attack on a convoy of several hundred people, and then set off dozens of boats of ammunition and fireworks.

Ah, the water bandits still call themselves Zhang Mazi.

And he also wears a nine-barrel mask.

Like you said, it's really a bit of a Dutch rebellion against the Spanish king now.

The emperor is still too young, too anxious, he thinks that his grandfather can do whatever he wants, since he is the emperor, of course, he has to do whatever he wants, but his grandfather is killed, and countless gentry have stepped on their heads for more than 20 years, so they can naturally do whatever they want, but he does not have this kind of deterrent, and the gentry have brought about the advancement of weapons and technology because of your appearance, so that the people can build a force against the imperial power in the shortest possible time.

In the past, the gentry could only tremble in the face of a fierce general of Lan Yu's level, but now all they needed was to pick up an arquebus.

Don't talk about Lan Yu, even Chang Yuchun just pulls the trigger.

Firearms blasted away the imperial power. ”

Sister Liu said with a smile.

So the culprit is still Yang Feng.

All the new things he brought with him, both technical and intellectual, brought about a real change, which could be said to be a real one, but it was also the gentry who were the first to start.

This is true for any change.

Those ordinary people who honestly plough the fields and pay taxes in the countryside cannot be at the forefront of contact with change, but only those literate and well-informed gentry. And Yang Feng's series of tosses also made the deterrent power of the imperial power continue to decline, after all, he dared to aim at Lao Zhu with a gun in public, and from that moment on, the gentry's fear of Lao Zhu was actually gone. But Lao Zhu's prestige can still hold on after all, and the rapid expansion over the years has indeed made the gentry taste the sweetness, and the promotion of various new technologies has also made the people rich, and they don't want to make trouble.

Especially Lao Zhu has always insisted on not changing the imperial examination.

This is important.

This old fellow is very cunning, he knows that as long as he is still taking the imperial examination, the gentry will not rebel.

Isn't that what I'm doing?

Lafayette can persist in the face of the imperial examination at the end of the Qing Dynasty until he is about to breathe, Lafayette is wise, she knows that as long as the imperial examination is still taken, the gentry will not abandon the Qing Dynasty, although in the end she still did not hold on, but at that time she was already old and deaf.

She can't be blamed.

As a result, within a few years of the abolition of the imperial examination, the Qing Dynasty died.

Lao Zhu is also very sober on this issue, and he has not been bewitched by Yang Feng from beginning to end, even if the matter of the north and south list makes him angry, those jinshi in the south are also unaffected.

But Zhu Yunxi reformed as soon as he ascended the throne.

This really made the gentry unbearable.

"He still doesn't know how to play, he now directly ordered to divide all the fields in Suzhou, where there is a gentry rebellion in the future, where the fields will be divided, to ensure that he doesn't have to do it, the people of Suzhou will go and open the city gate themselves."

Yang Feng said.

"In that case, if he rebels, aren't you afraid that Lan Yu will urgently return to Beijing, and then ask him why His Majesty rebelled?

He was the emperor.

Behind him is a nobleman.

He dares to do this, that is to really cut himself off from the world, Wu Shouan may be in Suzhou to raise his arms and go directly back to the side of the Qing monarch in Beijing, how can they have tens of thousands of acres of land in the Marquis House of their Wu family? If the emperor can divide the fields of the gentry, can't he divide their fields? The Tang Dynasty Juntian system knew that the land of those family lords could not be touched, and at most it only averaged the ownerless wasteland.

The reason why he dared to disdain the gentry was because he had the basic plate of honor.

The latter was loyal to him.

But if he dares to divide the field, even Xungui will abandon him. ”

Sister Liu said.

This is a fact.

Zhu Yunxi dared not to bird the gentry, and if he wanted to change the imperial examination, he would change the imperial examination, and he was simply willing to be loyal to him because the Xungui group behind him was always loyal to him, and until now, this group is still the strongest political force in the Ming Dynasty.

"So, this kind of thing is only dared by people like me who are not afraid of death, you tell the little princess and let her pay attention to safety, I always feel that in this situation, something must happen in the capital."

Yang Feng said.

The problem now is that if the rebellion in Suzhou continues, there will definitely be a response from other places, and among the courtiers, I am afraid that there will be the next Qi Tai. Qi Tai was not exposed by himself, but because Yang Feng knew his role in the original history, he always stared at him, and the little princess also told Zhu Yunxi without catching him.

If it weren't for that, he might still be working as a secretary of the military department.

Since he is like this, are there any other civil officials in the court who hide deeper? Will they simply solve the problem at the root and kill the emperor directly? This is the simplest and most effective, as long as Zhu Yunxi dies, neither Zhu Di nor Zhu Yunxi will carry out any reforms, even if Zhu Di will not, Zhu Di is a copy of Lao Zhu, he will only continue Lao Zhu's line.

In short, the current Zhu Yunxi is really in danger.

But......

"Let's get to work!"

Yang Feng shouted.

The men around him who were looking at him like gods hurried to their work.

And their job is......

"Do you really use glass to make a greenhouse and engage in rice seedling raising?"

Sister Liu said curiously.

"How else? In this era, only the glass greenhouse can be used, anyway, the cost is higher, but no matter how high the cost is, it will not be higher than the sea and land transportation from thousands of miles away, and it is not expensive to burn glass. ”

Yang Feng said.

Well, he's doing riceization.

His reclamation area is Wuchang, and I'm really sorry for not coming up with the name of rice.

Because there is no plastic greenhouse, so he can only engage in glass greenhouses, and now he is building, the cost of this thing is not important, after all, he is burning glass by himself, sand is worthless, and coal is mined by himself. And the use of cast glass to make glass plates, in fact, there is no high-end technology, that is, to get a polished thick steel plate, and then pour the glass melt on, and then use the screw on it to press another polished steel plate out.

Then make a frame out of wood and put the glass on one by one.

The only danger is hail.

But this problem can be done by adding a layer of movable planks on top, and once it is going to rain, pull this layer of planks up.

It can also be used to grow vegetables in winter, after all, the temperature should not be too low.

It's going to freeze and fry.

Anyway, it's just raising seedlings.

After all, he can't always rely on losing money to feed the armies in Huining, and if he wants the Han people here to live in peace, he has to let them grow rice here. Although spring wheat and the like can also be grown, in this era, due to the limitation of seeds, the yield cannot be compared with rice at all, a normal is only about one and a half stones, and one in this kind of place may have to start with four or five stones. In the face of this production gap, the cost of paying is also acceptable, and the key is that the cost of transportation from the south to Hoeryeong is already extremely high.

No matter how high the local production cost is, can it surpass the sea from the south to Maokouwei, and then transport it to the Songhua River by land, and then transport it by water?

If calculated in terms of cost, Yishi only needs the same amount of rice as Bao Qian to purchase in the south, and the real price of transporting it here should be six to seven guan, but Yang Feng is not a business at all, and the rice he transports here is a rationing supply.

No money is charged.

In fact, those reclamation team members will exchange this rice with herdsmen and fishing and hunting tribes.

Eating meat is better than eating rice.

In short, the cost issue is cost-effective for him anyway.

Glass greenhouses are not disposable and can be used for decades after maintenance.

That's lower.

However, this model can only be carried out by a collective farm like him, not to mention individuals, even those military households in Huining can't do it, after all, military households are only based on families, and such greenhouses are not something that families can afford......

"You have the energy and dedication, where is it better than here, do you have to be entangled with this place of minus 30 degrees?"

Sister Liu said.

"Nonsense, I belong to the science and technology town demon, as long as I can turn this place into a farming area, there will be no more chaotic forces rising in the future, and then enter the customs!"

Yang Feng said.

"And then you went to customs?"

Sister Liu said.

"Huh!"
