There is no suspense in the end of the battle in Jilong Mountain.

The emperor's imperial edict has been issued a long time ago. Those soldiers can surrender. Of course, if they can surrender when they are desperate, they will surrender.

They were indeed afraid that the gentry in their hometown would retaliate against their families, but that was only possible. However, if they did not surrender at this moment, there was only a dead end, and they had no place to escape. This was in Nanjing, and they were not allowed to bury the mountains and forests outside, and there was a circle of towering city walls around them!

As for those officials who indeed surrendered, they were dead ends and could only resist to the death, but they had no combat power, so what's the use of fighting to the death?

However, the Japanese hired inside showed their value at this time and fought to the end to defend their employers. As a result, they sought kindness and gained kindness in the New Army's siege. They were worthy of being the best slave candidates in the East at this time. There were dozens of Portuguese mercenaries who chose to surrender to the New Army...

There is really no professional ethics.

The core officials of the rebellious party were shot dead, trampled to death, and jumped into the well and jumped into the city wall. In short, more than 20 were captured by the brothers Gao Panlong and Gu Xiancheng. However, the three of them were not captured by the new army on the battlefield, but hid in Jiming Temple and then tied up by masters who were deeply aware of the great righteousness. In fact, there are several like them. Jilong Mountain is surrounded by various temples, even ten temples under the official sacrificial system. These are all at the foot of the southern mountain.

The entire hill was the royal forbidden area in the past.

Because the top is Sitiantai.

In fact, the official name at this time was not Jilong Mountain, but Qintian Mountain, because this Sitiantai was on it, and Jilong Mountain was a folk name.

These temples were also tied up to the members of the rebels who fled to them.

"Jie Zhou, the king of Jie Zhou!"

Gao Panlong looked at the execution scene and howled in a trembling voice.

"The heavens are in trouble with the Ming Dynasty. This king of Jie and Zhou is born, Emperor Taizu Gao, please open your eyes and take a look!"

The other fell to the ground and howled.

The others were crying.

"What's the name? It's your turn after they're finished. You dare to call Emperor Taizu Gao. The first thing Emperor Taizu Gao did is to add your nine tribes. You are content. You don't have Emperor Taizu Gao!"

Yang Feng shouted.

These people do not need to be convicted again.

His Majesty the Emperor had already issued an order to not accept surrender to them, and just kill them on the battlefield without any regard for them.

Originally, they should have been shot on the spot on Jilong Mountain, but now they are still captured because they are just asking them to come and go together. In fact, Yang Feng has no interest in them either...

Even if there are big guys here.

Gao Panlong and Gu Xiancheng are the future storms of the Ming Dynasty.

But now they have not even reopened Donglin Academy, just a group of frustrated politicians who were pushed out by Jiangnan gentry to charge.

They were chosen not because they had the ability, but because they were motivated.

Gu Xiancheng, a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel, tried to manipulate the fate of the entire court officials behind the scenes, which was full of vitality.

Energetic.

This is the reason why the Donglin Party rose later.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was always controlled by Southern Zhili, especially Su Songchang, the three prefectures. In the imperial examination era, the officialdom could be controlled wherever there were more Jinshis. Su Songchang added up with the most Jinshis, so it was naturally easy to form a community of interests. In addition, he also had the most wealth in his hands. This was a matter of power and money, and it was difficult to say nothing about it!

However, the rise of the Donglin Party was born from the development of industry and commerce.

Because industry and commerce grew wildly after the Longqing switch, the overseas silver that was continuously obtained made the gentry in Jiangnan increasingly restless.

They want greater power.

So they are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the old men in the court. These people are becoming less and less motivated, like Wang Xijue, etc., and can no longer meet their requirements and fight against the emperor in a fierce manner. Simply put, they need a more energetic new generation of officials to replace these old men. Gao Panlong and Gu Xiancheng, two frustrated politicians, became their best candidates. To put it bluntly, these are just two guns. Those who really make the guns enjoy their lives comfortably in the private gardens of Jiangnan!

There is no need to care about these people.

They are not rich either.

Gao Panlong's family is a loan shark, but Gao's family is not a top family in Wuxi.

The Gu Xiancheng family was not considered a family. Although the Gu family was an ancient family, there were too many branches at this time, and Wuxi alone was not considered a top-notch. Moreover, the Gu Xiancheng family moved there from another place, and there was no genealogy yet. He said he was lost at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Anyway, the two of them are not very rich.

There are Hua family and Zou family, and they are just small characters on Yang Dashuai's list of house searches.

At this moment, what Yang Feng really cared about was the prisoners who were taken over.

That is the volunteers.

"Look, look at it, this is a good slave. I walked from north to south. I knew that there was such an obedient slave in my first time!"

He shouted at the captured volunteers.

The latter was escorted by the new army and went to the south of Panchi according to his orders, and then stood among the piles of ruins on the large screen wall.

These are quite a lot.

In fact, it will cost at least about seven thousand.

Panchi alone cannot stand, so there are a lot of people on the street behind, and even some are being escorted from other places. Even the soldiers and civilians who were watching the fun were squeezed to both sides by them. There were only a few hundred people facing Yang Feng at the front, after all, the large screen wall itself is only more than a hundred meters long.

Yang Feng then boarded a small boat...

This Panchi is part of the Qinhuai River, and then dug a piece northward, so it is actually dozens of meters away from the south bank. It takes a boat to get closer to the distance between him and these prisoners. Soon the ship arrived at the middle of the Panchi, with bridges full of military and civilians on both sides. Several ships even emerged from under the bridge and entered the Panchi to carry the fun.

"Where are you from, what's your name?"

Yang Feng pointed to one of the prisoners and said.

The latter obviously understood his words and was so scared that he quickly knelt down in the ruins...

"Get up, I don't need a slave!"

Yang Feng said.

The man became trembling in panic.

"When you say that to the master, the young man from Jingxian County, Ningguo Mansion is called Shen Hong."

He said.

"Why join the army?"

"The small ones have no land and can only open a few thin fields in the mountains. They usually collect herbs, chop firewood and hunt. The family is hungry and full, and often can't eat for several days. It just so happens that the county recruits soldiers, three taels of silver a month. If there is such a good thing, the small one will naturally become a soldier. Master, the young one really doesn't know anything else."

"Why is there no land in your house?"

Yang Feng asked.

The man hesitated for a moment...

"When my young grandfather was still alive, he could not pay taxes when he encountered a famine, so he had to borrow usury. After that, the profits were no longer paid. The government arrested him and was locked up in prison, so he had to use the land to pay off the debt."

"Who is the one who lends it to your family?"

"It's Mr. Liu in this county."

"Who is Mr. Liu and what is the family business?"

"Mr. Liu passed the imperial examination and failed to pass the imperial examination. He became an official in another place and served as a prefect. Later, he retired and returned to his hometown. He heard that he received some money when he was an official. Because he was an official, he did not pay taxes. In addition to buying land, he just gave loans. Now he has accumulated 5,000 acres of fertile land. His son is a tribute student. Now he is studying in the Imperial College in Nanjing. He is also the one who returned to his hometown to recruit soldiers with local big families."

"Do you know why they wanted to recruit troops to resist? Because I implemented the Taizu system in Shuntian Prefecture, and the usury system was at most one principal and one profit. Those who had land over a thousand acres were all detained and then distributed to those without land. For those corrupt officials, they were afraid that I would come over. Even if they killed the monarch and burned His Majesty to rebel, they would stop me from continuing the Taizu system with the support of His Majesty.

You are such a slave!

I'm going to peel away corrupt officials like Mr. Liu so that he can't use usury to seize your land, to destroy the land of a landlord like him, and then give it to you those who have no land.

But you work hard for them to join the army to resist me?

You are not a good slave?

Do you feel that you are very despicable?”

Yang Feng said.

The slaves of the Ming Dynasty are just swearing.

The man was stunned for a moment...

The other prisoners who understood also widened their eyes.

"Don't listen to him lie to you, he is lying to you to work hard!"

Gao Panlong suddenly became anxious behind him, and he screamed without hesitation.

Yang Feng smiled slightly.

"Yes, I want you to work hard for me, but I will give you land!"

He said.

Then he spread his arms...

"I, Yang Feng, here I promise you that I will confiscate all the landlords' land and distribute it to the poor who have no land. I will let the ploughers have their land, and tenants can get the land they cultivate, and no longer have to pay rent to the landlords. All farmers can open up land nearby. The land they have been opened will never be subject to the Taizu system and will never need to pay taxes.

All usury loans are all profitable, and those who dare to exceed one profit will be punished as blackmail.

All the gentry took slaves and servants in the name of adoptive sons, and all the family property was divided with their parents and children according to the Taizu system.

So, would you like to follow me? Let’s go to your hometown together and do that?”

He said like a bewitching demon.
