Chapter 163: Punishing the Nine Clan

His Majesty the Emperor is indeed furious...

What crime do I have? You have to deal with me like this? Even the cannon is used! Yang Feng does all the bad things. You have the ability to find him, why do you always think about killing me? I am your emperor. I have all the bastards and Jinshi, and I have all the officials. I also give you rich clothes and food. Will your conscience be painful when you treat me like this?

His Majesty the Emperor roared in his heart in the rain of bullets and the explosion of shells.

Of course, he actually understood.

The main reason is that Yang Feng is too difficult to kill, and it is much easier for him.

At least he can't carry a huge shield worth more than 100 kilograms. He always has to pick up the soft persimmons. He can't kill Yang Feng or him?

Although the effect of killing him is indeed not as good as killing Yang Feng, if he is killed, it will be almost half of Yang Feng. At least officials from all over the country don’t have to consider any loyalty. At that time, Hongguang is established in the south and the crown prince is established in the north, and everyone will have their own happiness.

The eldest son of the emperor has been officially appointed as the crown prince. Wanli had been enthroned before the imperial commander personally. After all, he had to stay in the prison.

And no one fought for the prince at this time, so it was not a good thing to be the prince at this time.

Then there can be a third son in Shandong.

In short, no one will be too stupid to ask for Yang Feng, and they can unite to deal with him first. The Ming Dynasty finally restored its bright world, and it doesn't matter what the Three Kingdoms kills in the future.

The meat is rotten in the pot.

Are all the gentry in the world?

What are Hongguang, what are the princes, what are the third sons of the emperor, are they all controlled by officials and gentry?

Yang Feng did deliberately cause this situation, because this can ensure that Wanli will be obedient, but this is also a good opportunity for officials and gentry. As long as Wanli dies, there will be someone to change immediately.

But……

I am innocent!

His Majesty the Emperor continued to roar in his heart.

Fortunately, he still withdrew from the coverage of the shells under the protection of the giant shield.

Then His Majesty the Emperor fell to the ground immediately, and the words "I don't have the emperor's majesty" opened, as if the soul had left the body.

"Long live, long live..."

The imperial concubine, Du Yong and others rushed over and cried around His Majesty the Emperor.

The next moment, amid their crying, his face was covered with blood and mud, his golden armor was broken, his helmet fell off, and his hair was burned, suddenly sat up like a corpse.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill all these dogs!"

He roared angrily.

However, Yang Feng said that he had to wait for His Majesty the Emperor's request...

"Your Majesty, this matter is indeed urgent. Qingliu Pass is in a dangerous position and has complete firearms. You can get more than 100 cannons alone, and there are poisonous fire flying cannons and new turtledove guns. If you want to open it, you have to wait for the cannons to be transported up. You can bombard them with cannons and then attack them with the cannons. Now the cannons are all behind, and it will take at least two days to arrive. It is best for Your Majesty to go down the mountain first. The Guangwu Acropolis can be a place to stay. Your Majesty rests and waits for me to open this pass."

Zhu Wenda supports Yang Feng.

They had never thought that such a thing would happen before. Although the guardian of Qingliu Pass was not an old general of the Qi family army system, they were also from their Zhejiang Group.

Chen Yan is a hundred hereditary households in Jinxiang Wei.

The name of this is a common name for a county in Shandong, which is actually from Wenzhou, the coastal defense bordering the southern border of Pingyang of Wenzhou and Fujian.

He was brought by these veterans of the Qi family.

In fact, if Wu Weizhong doesn't need to come forward, Zhu Wenda is confident that he can persuade him to surrender.

So they just came to set up an emperor's ceremonial guard and waited for Chen Yan to open the door. They were not ready to attack Qingliu Pass. Moreover, they only had three days to arrive here from Fengyang. The ones they arrived at were actually the vanguard of the cavalry. The subsequent main forces were still on the road, including their heavy weapons. It would take at least six days for the infantry to carry heavy weapons to complete almost three hundred miles, especially when Outang Pass was in the middle, it was still a mountain road. Although the artillery of the Ming army strived for lightness at this time, basically with Franz as the core, it was a few hundred kilograms.

Attack now, it can only be filled with human lives.

In fact, even if the cannons were transported, Zhu Wenda knew very well that the next battle would definitely not be that simple.

There are heavy artillery in places like Qingliu Pass that cannot come up and light artillery cannot be bombarded. The firepower on the opposite side is stronger than theirs, and there is a steady stream of supplies behind it. If it is a strong attack, it will be a bloody battle.

In fact, a strong attack will also require human life.

"Brother Kaiyuan, don't you have the courage to be unworthy of thousands of men? Hurry up and open this city and kill all the traitors inside!"

The imperial concubine showed her power.

Along the way, her relationship with Yang Feng became more and more harmonious.

"Uh, Imperial Concubine, I think we should listen to General Zhu!"

Yang Feng said quickly.

"snort!"

The imperial concubine snorted dissatisfiedly.

Yang Feng smiled slightly.

He is not in a hurry.

His principle for this war is very simple, just end before the wheat harvest.

The agricultural models of Huainan and Jiangnan are now mainly rice and wheat rotation, but the latter part is rapeseed, and the others are not important. As long as it is ensured that it does not affect the wheat harvest, especially the transplantation after the wheat harvest, the impact of war on agriculture can be ignored.

It's only less than March, and he has enough time.

Moreover, he was not prepared to attack Qingliu Pass really strongly. Unless he took action himself, it would be difficult to open it. This is a real fortress, but he would risk his life if he took action himself. His shield could indeed block the firepower in the city, but it was at a distance of 100 meters. Franchise was originally weak, and it was normal to block seven millimeters of carbon-seeking steel more than 100 meters away. But if it was closer, it would be as dangerous for him. If it was close to dozens of meters, it would be possible to be bombarded.

There is no need to take risks.

He has some ways to solve this war.

Since this is the case, we have to withdraw for the time being, but as soon as they were about to leave, a faint cry for help suddenly came from behind...

"Old Zhu, Old Zhu save me!"

Yang Feng and others turned around in shock and saw a man crawling here on the mountain road behind him with difficulty.

"Even if you jumped down at a height of three feet and didn't fall to death?"

Yang Feng exclaimed.

"Kaiyuan Bo seems to have skipped it more than once, right?"

The Imperial Concubine said obviously unhappy.

"Uh, this, I should calculate it differently!"

Yang Feng said modestly.

Then he held the shield that could be said to be unrecognizable and rushed towards Wu Weizhong who had already climbed halfway.

Immediately afterwards, guns and cannons opened fire on the city wall again.

It was obvious that they deliberately made Wu Weizhong crawl to this side, but the shield in Yang Feng's hand still worked. He just seemed like a blockbuster, holding the shield and rushing forward with bullets and shells, quickly ran to Wu Weizhong to protect him, and then took him directly and retreated.

"This life is so tough!"

Yang Feng threw Wu Weizhong to the ground and sighed.

Old Wu screamed when he threw him, hurriedly hugging his right leg. The angle of this leg was very strange, but he jumped from nine meters high and just broke one leg. This shows that those who crawled out of the pile of dead people and could survive to 60 were life-hard enough.

But it's no big deal!

It's just a fourth-floor balcony, and Kaiyuan Bo has been dancing a lot.

Wu Weizhong, who screamed a few times, collapsed in exhaustion, and then lay there dyingly, which quickly explained his experience in Qingliu Pass.

Chen Yan is no longer in the pass, and Chen Yan's confidants are not there.

Gao Panlong's friend, former head of the Ministry of Personnel of Nanjing, An Xifan, brought a large number of servants to replace some defenders. Moreover, these servants were obviously good at recruiting mercenaries. Several of them were privately recruited by their gangs. A few of them looked like Japanese. It was probably under the Fujian merchants on Hirado. The area of ​​the Yangtze River Estuary is a severely affected area for maritime merchants. Most of the gentry from all over the country colluded with these guys. It was easy to recruit some thugs from them, but there were tens of thousands of Fujian merchants on Hirado.

It is like a Fujian business colony.

And it’s not just Hirado, Manila, Hoi An, Siam, Peking University, these guys are everywhere.

And these guys who are both business and thieves have to collude with the gentry from the coastal industrial and commercial bases. If the latter does not provide them with goods, they will have to drink.

The overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty was indeed those ports, but in fact, there were trading ports everywhere along the Ming coast, but it was just smuggling.

The ports of the maritime ports that go to the court will eventually be charged taxes.

But when colluding with coastal officials and gentry, there is no need to pay taxes when going out of the smuggling port.

As for the gentry hiring private troops, this is actually public. All regions are under the banner of serving the king and seeking rebellion, and those big families come to recruit militia groups. If you have money, you can naturally recruit those who can fight. But it is hard to say anything else about An Xifan. This is the amount of money, and a few taels of silver a month is enough to make such a mercenary work for it.

What is the amount of silver?

Do the gentry of Jiangnan who collects rents hundreds of thousands of stones a year care about this little money?

It is enough to let countless dead soldiers work hard for them.

"Is his family rich?"

Yang Feng asked in an instant with full spirit.

"I want to kill these traitors!"

Wanli didn't pay attention to his attention and said angrily from the side.

"If the nine clans are implicated, then they will be really rich. The three richest families in Wuxi, the Zou family, the An family, and the Hua family, were the grandson of Anguo, the number one book merchant in Jiangnan, and his mother belonged to the Zou family. His father-in-law was Tan Xiu, and the follower of Tan Kai, the right censor of Shizong's right-level censor."

Wu Weizhong said immediately.

"Youran is fascinated!"

Yang Feng was in a shameless and fascinated by Youran.

The Imperial Concubine continued to roll her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, His Majesty the Emperor was invited to the Guangwu Acropolis twenty miles away to station. Zhu Wenda established a military camp with a small shop at the foot of the mountain as the frontier command of his attack, and Kaiyuan Boze's garrison was behind Zhulongqiao as the head coach.

Then that night, the head coach and the emperor took His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine disappeared again.

Fortunately, before they left, they ordered Du Yong to act as the military supervisor, and Zhu Wenda and the seriously injured Wu Weizhong commanded the troops that arrived next to continue attacking Qingliu Pass.

Since this is the case, Zhu Wenda and the other two will ignore anything else.
