Chapter 229 of the main text of the Ming Dynasty when the Spring Returns to the Ming Dynasty, the gentry in Jiangnan welcomes the royal army under the mountain of King Ren.

Yang Feng looked at Huzhou City with a little confused.

It's just a distance of two kilometers, not to mention the sound of gunfire, he can see even the smoke of gunpowder above the city.

It is obvious that fierce battles are taking place in this city.

"Master, someone has left the city!"

Feng Jie shouted.

Their cavalry is actually not very useful here.

This is a standard Jiangnan water town. Although it is only two kilometers away, it is blocked by countless waterways, and there is also Xitiao River crossing. The cavalry will definitely not be able to run. In addition, there are only two thousand cavalry in total. Even if it is attacked for a strong force, it is impossible to open Huzhou City. Fortunately, I was not prepared to use them. You must know that there were more than 100,000 troops around General Yang at this time...

The official army that turned against Changzhou.

The militias followed in Jintan, Liyang, Yixing and other places.

Miners in Niutoushan Coal Mine Area.

He grew like Li Zicheng's march, snowballing along the way, absorbing all those who longed to live a good life.

Men, women, miners, peasants, officer soldiers, shanty towns, slaves, untouchables...

This untouchable is different from slaves. There are a large number of untouchables in Zhejiang, including households, beggar households, and neighbors. They are all the same. They are somewhat similar to the filthy source of Japan. The source is relatively complicated and there are all kinds of statements. The farthest thing is to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. However, in general, it was mainly left over from the Southern Song Dynasty. When Zhu Yuanzhang established the household registration system, he changed it to beggar households and prohibited the call it as a fallen citizen. He mainly engaged in various occupations that were regarded as lowly. He did not join scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and in theory, he was not as good as slaves.

Slaves can plant their master's fields, but they don't even have the qualifications to farm!

Isn’t it crazy to hear that you can divide the land?

In short, Marshal Yang is now like a bandit, not only following him on foot, but also blocking Xitiao River.

A small boat that didn't know how it came out of the city was in the congested Xitiao River, with a little difficulty in moving forward with malicious eyes around. Fortunately, when he saw this scene, Marshal Yang immediately sent cavalry to drive away the small broken boats on the shore and let it go out of the way, so that it finally leaned on the river bank. A scholar in a blue shirt walked past the crowd tremblingly and came to Yang Feng's carriage, and then he cried and threw down like he saw his relatives, which made Marshal Yang very confused for a moment...

"Who are you and why are you?"

Yang Feng shouted.

"Kaiyuan Bo, save the people of Huzhou!"

The latter cried.

"Uh, what happened?"

"Mao Guojin, a student at Huzhou, and his father, former deputy envoy of Henan Censorate, was killed by the pseudo Zhejiang governor Song Yingchang because he wanted to lead the people of Huzhou to welcome the king's army. Now Song Yingchang is searching in the city and trying to capture all the loyalty and righteousness in the city. The student escaped after his death.

I would like to ask Kaiyuan Bo to make the decision for the students and the people of Huzhou!”

"Ye, isn't your father the commander-in-chief Chang Jiejun?"

"When I returned to Kaiyuan Bo, my father was just a staff member, and Chang Jiejun was commanded by Liu Yuanlin. My father didn't know the inside story before and was deceived by these rebels. However, after fighting with the royal army, he had already realized that Kaiyuan Bo was a loyal minister. Your Majesty must be true. Those rebels followed Hongguang to frame Kaiyuan Bo, and they deserved to die. Therefore, after returning, they immediately explained to the people of Huzhou that all Huzhou people woke up and were ready to welcome the royal army, but the pseudo-Governor Song Yingchang suddenly led his troops to arrive.

My father also wanted to persuade him, but he was killed."

Mao Yuanyi's father said crying.

"It's simply crazy, brothers, attack the city immediately!"

Yang Feng was furious and shouted without hesitation.

"attack!"

"attack!"

...

The chaotic shouts rang out like this.

Then the broken ships that covered Xitiao Creek began to move like garbage belts. In a blink of an eye, a de facto floating bridge was formed. The unruly people who were also like garbage belts flocked by, carrying various temporary ladders, and quickly began to climb up the city wall.

The city wall has actually been installed...

Few defenses.

In fact, the city was completely in chaos at this time. The provincial army, Chang Jie army, gentry militia and the young and strong who were spontaneously organized by Song Yingchang were all pecking at each other in the city. Several sober Hangzhou scholars led Chang Jie army to the city to defend, and Huzhou scholars led the militia to grab the city gate. Everyone was tragic in combat power, and they could only be pecking at each other. One side had strong firepower and had barely regular troops, the other side was familiar with the terrain, and had an absolute advantage in military strength.

Just fight in chaos!

It has to be said that the gentry of Huzhou has tried his best to surrender.

Well, it's a bit weird to say this.

In order to welcome General Yang to divide the fields, the gentry of Huzhou fought to the end with bloody battles with the provincial troops who helped them defend the fields.

No wonder Yang Dashui was confused.

But the gentry of Huzhou had no choice. Surrendering to Yang Feng was just losing his land. But if he defended the provincial army, he would lose his land, family property, and even his life. If this battle was fought elsewhere, they would definitely fight side by side with the gentry of Zhejiang, and would have money and strength. But if they wanted to fight in Huzhou now, they would never be with him.

It's better to surrender.

Immediately afterwards, the unruly people who swarmed up and fought in the few resistances on the city walls, like the undead legion that flooded the elephants in the Lord of the Rings, flooded the Huzhou city walls in a blink of an eye. Then the city gates opened soon, and those who were still waiting outside flocked in. Yang did not even take action, but was guarded by cavalry behind them, and under the guidance of Mao Guojin, the cavalry quickly separated, ensuring order in the city while sweeping away the remaining enemies...

There are no genuine female militia here.

Those female militia who maintained order were from Zhenjiang Commune.

But there are no militias from Zhenjiang Commune here. The so-called militias were all young and strong people along the way who spontaneously followed during Yang Feng's march.

The next battle cannot actually be called a battle.

When he entered the city, the provincial army and Chang Jie army in the city had already defeated eastward, so when Yang Feng arrived at the government office, he could already see the welcome of the steak and slurry...

"Loyalty and righteous!"

Yang Feng looked at Mao Kun in front of him.

But Mr. Mao was really dead at this time.

He was indeed a blackmail before, so he gave Huzhou gentry an excuse to mobilize the fighting spirit of local people.

After all, he is almost ninety.

Song Yingchang, a dog official, actually killed an old man like him, and local people easily hated each other.

But the problem is that no one noticed it in the chaos. I don’t know who stepped on him a few times. An old man who was almost ninety years old was exhausted during this period. He would die if he was stepped on a few times. However, Song Yingchang did not escape. He was also injured in the chaos and was now caught in front of Yang Feng.

"I will submit a letter to His Majesty for the burial of Mr. Mao."

Yang Feng said.

Mao Guojin and Mao Wei quickly carried their father away.

The gentry looked at Yang Feng...

"Okay, since it's glorious anyway, I'll leave it alone. Everything follows the Yixing example."

Yang Feng waved his hand and said.

The gentry immediately thanked excitedly, and then walked away happily with the dead bodies.

Many of them were killed and injured in the chaos.

Yang Fengrao looked at Song Yingchang with interest in front of him with a bruised nose and swollen face. The latter sat on the ground in disappointment, looking at everything around him blankly...

"Governor Song, how do you feel?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"It's over now. Let's kill and cut it all!"

Song Yingchang said sadly.

"I won't kill you. After all, you are respected by the Qi army. Even if I want to take care of their face, I will not kill you, and I will even let you go."

Yang Feng said.

He could not kill Song Yingchang.

It was this man who brought the Qi family army to North Korea, and when he was in North Korea, the military pay of the Qi family army was also guaranteed. It was because he had a falling out with Shi Xing on the Korean War and issue and was forced to resign and return home. The Qi family army began to become abandoned sons. Wang Bao dared to massacre the Qi family army because he left. The Qi family army lost its main support in the court.

Even in order to take care of the feelings of his core officers, he cannot be killed.

Song Yingchang looked at him unexpectedly.

“But I want to ask you a question, do you think you have the ability to resist?

Look at Huzhou, believe it or not, all cities will be like this? Be awake, you are just a group of mobs, and you cannot even unite within yourself, so you still want to fight against me? When I am attacking you, Dong Yu from the upstream is watching the wall, and Chen Jian from Jiangbei is watching the wall. They all think that I will destroy your cities, and then they take over the textile industry.

The gentry of Fujian has long lost to His Majesty, and they have even been favored by His Majesty.

Because compared with my land division, you rob their share of maritime trade, which is what they fear the most.

Shandong, Guangdong, one in the south and one in the north, are loyal to Your Majesty. All they think is that you will hold me to the death, and they continue to rest assured.

Even you all have their own ulterior motives in Zhejiang.

Why do you fight me?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Song Yingchang sat there and sighed in grief...

"But actually I didn't want to fight Huzhou at all."
To be continued...
