my days with tyrants

Chapter 285 The Prosperity of Yuan Dynasty is back!

The Suzhou gentry raised their troops before Lanyu started the general attack with extremely high efficiency.

It's actually not that difficult.

The main reason is that the commander of the Suzhou Guard led [-] subordinates and went north with Lan Yu.

Yao Shan, as the prefect of Suzhou, invited the remaining generals to drink, and discussed how to deal with the possible problem of Qi Tai and other rebels fleeing to Taihu Lake.Immediately afterwards, he summoned the civil servants in Suzhou City and the gentry of the two counties, and read out the so-called Emperor Daxing's edict in public. He had already known through Huang Yue that the leaders of the main families promised by the so-called King Wu immediately shouted long live.

Then it is to welcome the king of Wu.

The latter was already waiting outside the city, and a group of civil servants and gentry, led by Yao Shan, went out of the city to greet Wu Wangjiufan.

Immediately afterwards, King Wu entered Suzhou in a sedan chair amidst the bewildered onlookers of the Suzhou people, and took the magistrate's yamen as his temporary palace, and then issued notices or promises to comfort the people.

Now he is really the Holy Lord Mingjun.

Even those gentlemen who didn't know the inside story were all excited.

At the same time, the King of Wu also issued an order to allow the gentry in various counties to run training regiments to protect the environment and the people, as his guards have not yet been formed yet. As for the funds raised by themselves...

"You really know how to play. Is this a rebellion against the king of Spain by imitating the villains in the Netherlands?"

Yang Feng exclaimed.

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

Or it can also be said that they all understand what the gentry like. Of course, self-financing means collecting taxes from pictures. To put it simply, the tax package system will be restored. From Yuan to the middle of Ming Dynasty.It’s even easier to set up a regiment and practice. It’s only been 30 years. Didn’t all these landlords have their own private arms 30 years ago?Now organize the young and strong who can fight in the clan as officers, and then take the Japanese slaves, the Korean slaves, An Nannu, etc. as soldiers. The weapons are not worth mentioning. At this time, Su Gang is still Su Gang. Weapons, like the gentry's family, who doesn't have a few cold weapons.

There are bows and arrows.

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

That is, no firearms.

But it only takes some time. If it is fully activated, the iron smelting workshops near Suzhou can quickly manufacture all the firearms currently in use, even flintlock guns, because the Suzhou Iron and Steel Workshop here already knows how to 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 Suzhou Wei still had many soldiers and Yu Ding who could organize it, after Yao Shan detained all the generals, Qi Tai came forward to deceive the soldiers of Suzhou Wei with the imperial edict of Daxing Emperor, and at the same time moved a large amount of property from the bank to reward.

The latter couldn't judge whether what they said was true or not in the confusion, and there was no decision, so they simply chose to sit and watch.

The main reason is that the early publicity made most of the soldiers believe the story of the emperor killing his brother...

Uh, can't tell the story.

Rumors are just saying in advance what he is going to do next.

Not wronged him.

If Zhu Yunwen did not flee, all the rumors would indeed become true after Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral. In this case, the soldiers could not say that they liked the emperor very much.Moreover, King Guangze belonged to the victim, and the emperor belonged to the tyrant who killed his brother, so since no one is in charge, and the court has no order, why should a group of small soldiers manage so many.Honestly stick to the various military bases, commanders and envoys in the city, and then wait and see the situation!

In short, Suzhou Wei did not interfere.

Of course, the key point is that the Suzhou gentry and Wu Wang really gave money.

But Suzhou area is not only Suzhou Wei.

Jinshanwei, Taicangwei, Zhenhaiwei, and Wusong and other garrisoned thousands of households are all around here.

The nearest Taicang has two guards.

At this time, the soldiers of the guards were not the scumbags of the later ones, grass-roots groups like the gentry could not withstand their attacks, even if they were only partially left behind now, as long as they reacted quickly enough, gathering thousands of soldiers would be enough to attack Suzhou.In fact, the word "gong" may not even be used. After all, those gentry can't complete the group training in a short period of time. Even if they have Japanese slaves, it will take time to compile it. It won't take long to get from Taicang to Suzhou.

but……

"Ma He, it's time 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, and the Suzhou gentry is doomed.

"Master, Commander Lu Du is asking to see you."

Green slave said.

"Let him come over."

Yang Feng said.

Lu Zhen completely listened to him now.

Moreover, Huining Dusi currently has five guards, nine of which are guarding thousands of households. In fact, they all listen to him, Huining Guard, Jilin Guard, Longquan Guard, Jinghai Guard, and Five Kingdom Guards. Therefore, since Yang Feng can guarantee the military supplies, not only did they not abolish them, but they actually increased them.

For example, the Yuerhai Shouyu Qianhusuo has been added.

It also belongs to the capital of Huining, and all military supplies must be transported from Huining.

In addition, there is a guarding thousands of households in Hokkaido.

The capital of Huining has a vast area, from the Hulunbeier prairie to Hokkaido, and even to the Arctic Ocean in the north, but in fact, the number of Han military households currently in Huining by the imperial court is about the same as that of Yang Feng's land reclamation team.Although the former has a large number of establishments, there are only one thousand Han households in one guard, and two or three hundred Han households in one defending thousand households. In addition, merchants and craftsmen in Huining and other cities also have a small number of civil servants who wash their faces with tears every day. , the total number of military and civilian registrations in Huining Dusi is less than 20.As for the nationality, of course Yang Feng's wasteland reclamation team is the main one, but this is only Han people. If you add the Mongols and other messy people who also belong to the five guards, and all kinds of slaves, this group directly under the imperial court still has nearly [-] people. The population is already rare in this kind of place.

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

Really.

Although the majority are Han people, he treats all ethnic groups in this group equally, and never favors one another in terms of military supplies. In fact, even the slaves are loyal to him.

What happened to the slave?
Those Korean slaves and Japanese slaves rarely had enough to eat in the past, but now they can eat enough every day, although rice and flour need to be transported from the inland, and indeed they are only given to them occasionally.But sorghum rice buns, fried vegetables with soybean oil, bean sprouts, etc. can be eaten casually, not to mention that Huining in this era is beating roe deer with sticks and scooping fish, and these fish meat are also not lacking.Even because of the stable symbiotic relationship with the surrounding herdsmen, and sufficient dairy products, these slaves all regard it as a paradise, as for the occasional scolding and whipping...

The master's whip is a gift to them.

Didn't they get whipped in North Korea and Japan in the past?

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

"Ambassador, Marquis Ri Nan urged again when to send troops. He has already received an imperial order to lead an army to attack Daning to deal with Ning Fan."

Lu Zhen came over to salute and said.

"and then?

The emperor himself still didn't say that his uncles were rebellious. Did he have to deal with the guards of Liao Fan first when he attacked Daning?After dealing with the guards of the Liao clan and then the guards of the Ning clan, a shell accidentally fell into the palace, killing a phoenix son and grandson. Afterwards, their uncle and nephew are still a family. How is Yang Wen going to face the revenge of the phoenix sons and grandchildren? ?

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

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

He is still just an outsider.

What is he doing as an outsider in charge of other people's housework?
If the emperor makes a clear decree that his uncles and brothers are rebelling, I will take you all to the south to serve the king, but as long as he does not understand this point, we will guard it obediently. If he really attacks Guangning and kills the king of Liao Son, I can't control the little princess who troubles him in the future. "

Yang Feng said.

Lu Zhen nodded.

Ambassador Yang is right!

He is the son of the phoenix and the grandson of the dragon. As long as the emperor does not say that his uncles are rebellious, he will still be the son of the phoenix and the grandson of the dragon, and there will be no accidents in the fight.

If you want to attack Daning, you have to deal with the Liao clan first. Once you forcefully attack Guangning, you must use cannons. If any shell falls into the palace and kills a phoenix and dragon grandson, it will be really hard to say.Even if the emperor knows 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, they are the nephews of the little princess, and they are all treasured.Not to mention being accidentally injured by shells, or being frightened and sick, you have to face her anger, and this is Guo Ying's grandson, and the Guo family's power is not comparable to that of 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 wealth and glory. Just be safe and stable."

Yang Feng said.

Lu Zhen left immediately.

This is enough, enough for Yang Wen to be honest.

In fact, this war has been fought for several months, and now it is about to start spring and has not been resolved. The key is this problem. Zhu Yunxi never said that his uncles were rebellious.To him, he really cared about his family, and he seemed to be very benevolent, after all, the death of King Xiang made him very embarrassed.

but……

So how do you work so hard on the front line?

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

Opposite is the rebel, we fight to the death.

But on the opposite side is your uncle and brother. We fought to the death and killed them. If you punish us afterwards, it seems that you are still a kind and good person. Are we the soldiers who are ignorant?Even afterward, they are still sons and grandsons of phoenixes and dragons, vassal kings, and we are still ministers. Maybe we will be retaliated someday. What are we planning?
No motivation to fight.

That's fine.

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

But Lao Zhu's funeral will be delayed.

Fortunately, it's not a big deal, the big deal is to let him continue to freeze.

And right now.

Suzhou.

"These dogs, these dogs!"

Ambassador Yang's old friend, former Suzhou Wei Town Fu Han Sheng looked at his subordinates under the city wall who were being beaten by volleys of guns with trembling lips.

He was the only one of the left-behind generals of the Suzhou Guard who was still outside. To be precise, he had already retired at this time, and his son had inherited the governorship. When Yao Shan raised his troops, he was in Jinshan Guard.Because of the close relationship with Yang Feng, the Han family's business has been booming these years, and Jinshanwei itself is also a commercial port, so there are many industries there.

After retiring, he ran on both sides and took charge of their family's business.

After Yao Shan raised his army, he arrested his son. His two grandsons escaped from Suzhou and went to Jinshanwei to ask him for help. He immediately asked the commander of Jinshanwei, who was also his in-laws, to ask for five hundred elites, and then personally led the raid by boat. Suzhou.In his opinion, Yao Shan's rebellion was simply ridiculous. A civil servant led a group of gentry to rebel against some Japanese slaves, which made people laugh to death.As long as he can return to Suzhou City, relying on his deterrent power is enough, so he didn't take it seriously at all. Five hundred elite soldiers rushed to Suzhou City, and then found ladders to climb the city wall.He brought these iron cans with full iron armor and cloth face armor. Even if those gentry can arm a few Japanese slaves, they are nothing more than bows and arrows. The soft bows of the people can't shoot through this set of protection at all.

As long as he climbed up the city wall and opened the city gate, he went in and shouted, and the gentry would kneel down.

They are all old acquaintances for decades.

He knew what those gentlemen were.

Besides, even if there are those who dare not kneel, they can just smash them with whips and maces.

Civil servants and scholars rebelled?

Isn't this bullshit?

The gentry started the army?
Can their bones for reciting poems and composing Fu be able to carry more than ten catties of iron whips?
however……

The dense gunfire shattered his dream.

Five hundred elites were constantly falling amidst the whistling of bullets.

"No, this is not your Suzhou Guard's, Suzhou Guard only has rapid-fire cannons but no magic guns.

Our Jinshanwei doesn't have so many magic guns. "

Jinshanwei, who was leading the team beside him, said a thousand households.

On the opposite wall of Suzhou City, the musketeers who appeared suddenly were still firing at the retreating Jinshan Guard soldiers, and they were obviously well-trained and accurate in marksmanship, so it was not at all that Japanese slaves or gentry were young and strong when they were armed, but It is the real elite of the army.And there are a lot of them, at least at the level of a thousand. Even if the hundreds of cavalry that Fang Xiaoru is said to be leading are deducted, there are suddenly thousands more elites in the city.

And it wasn't Suzhou Wei's soldiers who turned against them.

Because Suzhou Wei, as an old army that hadn't fought for a long time, didn't have magic guns at all.

After the pacification of the Wa Kingdom, this area, including Jinshanwei and other coastal guards, has long since had no wars. At most, they go out to patrol the sea occasionally, but in fact, because of the strength of the navy, there are not many pirates. These guards have basically begun to retire. up.

Of course, the new weapons are not their turn.

"Of course not the soldiers of the Suzhou Guards. This Tamar is the sailors of Mahe in Taicang. There are tens of thousands of sailors there. Hurry up and report to the capital. The cavalry are the people of King Yan."

Old Han said bitterly.

Then he waved his hand...

"Retreat, with them here, we can't open Suzhou at all.

Damn, when I heard that Yang Feng died at sea, I became bolder. "

He said.
