I have a cornucopia

Chapter 184 Girl und Panzer

the next day.

Chang'an left gate.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as I'm here, there won't be any danger."

Yang Feng whispered beside the princess.

The latter nodded quickly, and then looked at the long street in front of her.

By this time, the fighting in the city had ended, because Yang Feng, the left soldier who took the heads of a hundred households to become a hundred households and the general soldiers to serve as the general soldiers, knew that Zuo Liangyu was dead and the Qing army had been repulsed. Do not hesitate to target their officers. Coupled with the troops that poured into the city, they killed all the officers from more than a hundred households who followed Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu's group was completely destroyed. As for now, it was Yang Feng who insisted on asking the Princess of Jianguo to leave the palace and formally meet with her subjects, which could be regarded as establishing her right to rule over the army and people of Nanjing.

The princess at this moment has already put on the crown.

The princess does not have a crown, but she is now a prisoner of the country, and her status is at least the same as that of a vassal king. She wears a crown to establish her identity.

As for this set of crowns...

Although there was no need to kneel in theory, the problem was that he had already taken the lead, and others could not stand. Then Huang Degong, Zheng Hongkui and others all led their generals to kneel down on the roadside and kowtow to the passing elephant carriage.

The elephant carriage continued to move forward.

Chieftains don't pay attention to this.

"I bow to His Highness the Supervisor!"

To the north of Tianchang is the north bank of Shiliang River.

Then the elephant chariot moved forward.

But that was a title, not a prison state. Now it was a prison state. This girl, who was actually only fifteen years old, was not only the ruler of this city, but also half of the country south of the Huaihe River in the Ming Dynasty. If calculated in terms of population and wealth, she was already the ruler of the vast majority of the Ming Dynasty. She ruled from the Huaihe River to Hainan Island and westward to Yunnan and Guizhou. And it has been recognized that even the Duke of Guizhou in Yunnan, after receiving the imperial edict from Nanjing, did not hesitate to lead Yunnan military and political officials to be loyal to the princess.

And it's the largest caliber.

That is to say, Princess Taiping was granted the title of Princess of Zhenguo.

Yang Feng glanced at her immediately, and the princess had no choice but to continue sitting without speaking.

And at this time.

His generals quickly followed suit and knelt down.

The Mu family's control over Yunnan was tied to the Zhu family's imperial power. If the Zhu family's imperial power fell, of course the chieftains would no longer listen to him.

The long team continued to move forward in Nanjing City where there were even many dead bodies that had not been cleaned up.

"I bow to His Highness the Supervisor!"

The key is to maintain their own legitimacy as the ruling class.

There are many female chieftains in the Ming Dynasty.

"Ministry of the Cabinet, don't chase the poor bandits, don't contain them when they return to the army. Although the thieves have been defeated, their strength is still there. Now they are fleeing. Why should we fight with them? Even if we win, the losses will be heavy, not to mention the military expenditures that have been consumed since the beginning of the war. It has exceeded two million. If the loss is large, more compensation will be paid in the future.”

Mu Tianbo is also anxious.

All in a hurry.

There has been a rebellion among the chieftains in Yunnan, and the slogan they shout is that Emperor Zhu is gone, so how can there be Duke Mu.

Then Gao Jie's soldiers began to kneel down, kowtow to the passing elephant carriage, and looked behind them with threatening eyes from time to time. The common people behind them quickly knelt down as well. This kind of thing must have a leader, but after a large number of leaders appear, the rest is to spread forward. Regardless of whether you want it or not, at least you can't be the leader at this time. So as the elephant carriage advanced, all the military and civilian officials on both sides knelt down and kowtowed to the supervisor. However, Her Royal Highness the Princess on the elephant carriage, although very uneasy, did not dare to get up and just sat silently. Yang Feng followed on horseback, holding Shang Fang's sword in his arms, and his followers followed him holding spears of eight feet. Over the long team, there were small flags on the spears, and there were even some pack horses following... …

Yang Feng winked at Gao Jie in front.

he shouted.

This elite regiment and their commander tell everyone in this way that no matter whether the person on the elephant carriage is a man or a woman or how old she is, her rights must be respected.

At this time, Gao Jie's men lined both sides of the long street, blocking the people on both sides with human walls.

Men and women don't matter.

In fact, the princess's elephant carriage also tows a steel tube cannon behind it.

The latter understood immediately.

Therefore, the Mu family most urgently needs a supervisory state in Nanjing to tell the chieftains in Yunnan that the Ming Dynasty has not fallen, and the emperor of the Zhu family is still there, and it is not yet time for you to be arrogant. In short, now the governors, vassal kings, and generals of various places have all recognized the Nanjing Supervisor Princess, and then continue to rule the place with the power given to them by the imperial power. Therefore, it really doesn't matter to them whether a woman is a woman or not. At most, she is just pretentious and pretending. But as long as they can maintain the rule of the imperial power, they will happily accept it even if the princess supervises the country. Etiquette, laws, and rules are just nonsense when there is no rush. When life is really at stake, there are great scholars who will interpret the scriptures. The great scholars in the North Zhili have already interpreted the scriptures for slaves, so what's the problem with the southern scholars interpreting the scriptures for women?

There are weaving eunuchs in Nanjing, and under the control of Han Zanzhou, there is no shortage of materials or weavers. More people are summoned to work overnight. However, because he is not a prince, he can only follow the standards of the vassal king, so he wears Qizhao crown on his head. Wearing a seven-piece gong robe, he sits on an elephant chariot.

The obeisances on both sides completed the Princess Supervisor's takeover of the city.

Of course it was made overnight.

The princess was a little frightened and wanted to get up and say something.

The latter looked on curiously.

Of course the artillery carriage was towed behind the horse.

The existence of a supervisory state means that the Ming Dynasty still has imperial power, and its legitimacy is still there.

He knelt down without hesitation.

The princess oversees the country!
Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, I have never heard of it in all dynasties.

If you don't respect her power, you will have to face Yang Feng and his army.

At the Suzhou Senior Citizens' Meeting, Xu Qian, the crown prince's right concubine who was originally at home with Ding You, looked at the Hongyi cannons that were being fired with some pain.

It really hurts!
That shot of cannon is all about pumping out money.

One cannon requires at least seven or eight kilograms of gunpowder, let alone cannonballs.

Moreover, the lifespan of artillery is only a few hundred rounds. After being fired, it has to be recast. It is also money. If you are not an expert, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are. In the past, I didn’t feel it when watching the artillery of the army. But now the seniors will pay for the regiment training. They will follow after one shot. Like a piece of meat. What's more, it's not as simple as one cannon. Zhang Guowei has at least a hundred Hongyi cannons of various sizes here. At least a few hundred taels of silver are lost in one shot, and their opponent is just Liu Liangzuo who is trying to escape...

Of course the latter must run away.

Originally, he and Zhang Guowei were just pecking each other around Yangzhou.

He had slightly more troops, cavalry, and some elite servants, but Zhang Guowei had an alarmingly high proportion of firearms, and the fighting will of the regiment was much stronger than that of Liu Liangzuo's majority of miscellaneous men. In the end, the two sides launched a continuous war with Yangzhou as the center. Attack and defense. But when Yang Feng arrived in Nanjing, everything ended. In fact, Liu Liangzuo, who had actually known for a long time that the Qing army had been repulsed, but only concealed it from his miscellaneous men, chose to withdraw his troops and escape without hesitation. He did not escape to Chuzhou.

Just think about it and you will know that Yang Feng will definitely destroy Nanjing...

Compare your heart to your heart!

Could he not understand what Zuo Liangyu's men were like?

Once Yang Feng quickly solved Nanjing, it would be easy to cross the river and cut off Qingliu Pass. Running to Chuzhou now would be suicide. Of course, he actually arranged for his miscellaneous men to escape to Chuzhou, but he himself ran to the sky.

Even when he was running away, Yang Feng had not yet attacked Nanjing.

This is the consciousness of a veteran.

But he was intercepted by Zhang Guowei.

The latter cut off his retreat with the main force of his subordinates, Zhejiang Tuanlian, Su Song Tuanlian, and in fact the New Army, nearly 20,000 troops. In fact, Zhang Guowei guessed that he would have to make a long journey, so he quickly assembled ships in Yangzhou. Take the water route to get here to intercept. At this moment, at least 40,000 Liu Liangzuo's troops were blocked on the south bank. Behind them was Tianchang, who was originally serving as his logistics base. They caused great harm to Tianchang, and even though most of them actually ran away, those gentry who didn't ran away were basically trapped. They killed them all. Then they occupied Tianchang and used the looted food as logistical support to support their operations in the south. The looted gold and silver treasures were also hoarded in Tianchang.

Now I'm running away with him.

But the terrain is a bit bad. The Shiliang River is the main river in this area. Not only is the water volume enough to block all infantry and vehicles, but there are also many tributaries upstream that block the flanks.

On the other side is Gaoyou Lake.

So they were blocked in a place where there were water nets on both sides and only one road going forward. Then Zhang Guowei opened his cannon on the north bank.

Zhang Guowei looked at the stone bridge in the middle, where a large number of heavily armored elites were pushing shield carts forward. On the river on both sides of them were cavalry riding across the river to cooperate with the attack. The core of the competition between the two sides was the bridge. Liu Liangzuo must seize this A bridge before his forty thousand troops could cross the river. On the north bank is Xu Du's Zhejiang regiment training. They are also tanks, and equipped with a large number of artillery, especially the Hongyi cannon. The roaring shells hit the enemy troops on the bridge. The water-borne cannons were of course powerful enough. A cannonball weighing about ten kilograms was like shattering some wine glasses, shattering the enemy's shield vehicles and beating the heavily armored soldiers to pieces.

Just like 20 years ago, the Zhejiang army was bombarded by Jianlu with the discarded Hongyi cannons of the Ming army.

Some of the cavalry had already crossed the river.

But what they had to face immediately was the Turtle Dove Guns on the tanks of the Zhejiang regiment trainers. The Turtle Dove Guns loaded with multiple bullets were like small artillery firing shotguns, killing the enemy cavalry rushing across the river.

These soldiers, who are also composed of young men from Dongyang, Yiwu and other places, and even led by some veterans of the Zhejiang Army, have gone through many battles and have become somewhat like the Zhejiang Army of those years. The army was wiped out, and they were led only by those who had been trained.

"Yang Feng has taken control of the prison country. If we want to bargain with him in the future, we have to let him know that we are qualified to bargain.

We cannot let Liu Liangzuo escape.

If Liu Liangzuo still has to rely on Yang Feng to destroy him, then aren't we trash? Is a trash qualified to bargain with him? He is a person who only values ​​strength. He respects anyone who has strength. Anyone who has strength can bargain with him. If you don't have strength, you still want to bargain with him, but you will be humiliated by him in vain. If we can't show our strength with a big victory, then he will take advantage of us and beat us to death. Don't think about anything else at this time. It's only two million. Spending another two million is better than keeping it and being robbed by him.

To use what he said in the past, if the money is not used for military expenses, how can it be kept as compensation in case of defeat? "

Zhang Guowei said.

At this time more cavalry crossed the river.

In order to escape for his life, Liu Liangzuo rushed into the formation with his servants. These elite cavalry braved the cannonballs and bullets from the opposite side and rushed straight into the formation of the Zhejiang regiment.

They were working hard, so they didn't use bows and arrows at all, they were all carrying spears...

Bows and arrows cannot shoot cannons.

But the hand-to-hand combat abilities of these elite servants overwhelm group training.

All they need is to rush into formation.

The momentum of the cavalry made the regiment trainers in the formation obviously panic. They had never faced such elite regiment trainers firing continuously before, but the accuracy of firearms in this era made most bullets and shells miss. The enemy's cavalry is still moving forward. As the distance gets closer and closer, the regiment training becomes more and more chaotic, and fewer and fewer bullets and cannonballs are fired.

"boom!"

The exploded cannon appeared.

Several regiments around the cannon fell immediately.

At this time, the cavalry forward arrived, and the javelins flew out of the hands of the cavalry on horseback.

Several team members were hit and fell down.

The cavalry's horses collided with the chariot. The cavalry on horseback stood down and stabbed the inside with their spears, but they also fell under the stabs of the spears inside. Some cavalrymen with superb riding skills began to rush towards the gap where the chariots were connected. , some cavalrymen even dismounted and rushed into the defense line wielding various cold weapons.

Team training finally started to show up and escape...

"Everyone go back. Anyone who retreats will be killed without mercy. The family members will be expelled from the clan. If you repel the thieves, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"

Zhu Dadian, who was supervising the battle from behind, was roaring there with a sword in one hand and a large silver ingot in the other.

"Escape from the clan and be kicked out of the clan!"

Xu Du, who was fully armored next to him, roared.

Several group trainers who had fled immediately stopped, and then looked at each other with tears in their eyes. However, expelling the clan is still terrible, and Zhu Dadian, as the leader of the Jinhua Elders Association, must have this ability. Even if they are not a family, they can still control the situation. The gentry of these tuanlian clans must listen to him.

Several regiment trainers gritted their teeth and fought back, and at this moment reinforcements arrived.

""Come on, come on, repel the thieves and reward them with twenty silver coins, twenty taels per person! "

Zhu Dadian shouted.

Then he continued to hold up his silver ingot, like the Statue of Liberty holding a torch.

The reinforcements, the team trainers, looked at the bloody battlefield in front of them, but in the end they still couldn't bear the excitement of twenty taels of silver. Twenty taels of silver already exceeded their military pay for half a year. Besides, they all farm good land for the gentry of the clan, and their wives and children are managed by the clan, so they don't have much to worry about. On the contrary, running away will mean being expelled from the clan.

Nothing is left.

My wife and children will starve to death, and I can’t even enter the ancestral grave.

"Kill, kill one to earn enough money, kill two to earn one!"

One of the team members howled like crazy.

Then other regiment trainers also howled and rushed towards the battlefield with weapons in hand.

On the opposite side, the enemy cavalry were still crossing the river to join the battlefield. However, because the defense line was not opened, the cannons behind could not be destroyed. The Hongyi cannons continued to fire on the bridge. The stone bridge had become a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. The 40,000 infantrymen under Liu Liangzuo were unable to cross the chasm...
