With his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, Mr. Shen continued to rush to Nanjing with a small boat, and the gentry Su Song behind him also quietly sailed several ships full of silver into Huzhou like the gentry of Zhejiang...

What about the annual monies!

Old tradition.

I was able to give it to the Liao and Jin dynasties back then, but now of course I can give it to Yang Feng.

The left and right can be exchanged for temporary peace. Although the Gentleman Susong has formulated an ambitious military plan and has even gone to Goa to hire widows, the problem is that it will take time. The ships coming from Goa will not arrive at at least early next summer.

And now they have to let Yang Feng stop no matter what.

So when Yang Feng told them that one million was just the annual monies from Suzhou, they did not feel dissatisfied with another million to count the share of Songjiang Mansion. In the end, they used two million to complete the blockade of Yang Feng. After all, the silver bullet is still very powerful.

However, this was carried out in secret, and on the surface, Suzhou has also prepared for the war in full swing.

Pingwang, the most important strategic position, even began to build the fortress. In order to resist Yang Feng's siege cannon, the thickness of the wall of Pingwang Fortress will be greatly increased.

In addition, in order to facilitate the formation of cross firepower, a fort was developed at the four corners of the city wall...

Well, they are actually building a primary version of the prism.

The reason why the primary version is that they cannot access the genuine Star Castle at this time, which was developed by the Dutch.

The missionaries there all came from Italy.

Although the brink was indeed invented by Italy, the prototype of the brink of the brink was the round platform. This even brought Xu Guangqi into the ditch. Later, in the 47th year of Wanli, he wrote a letter to build the Wanniantai in the capital. That is, when he built an affiliated fort on the walls of the capital, he also wanted to build the round platform. The building built by Gentlemen Su Song in Pingwang was obviously the missionaries who were helping, and what they could take out was also the round platform. In short, facing Yang Feng who had already reached the door, Gentlemen Su Song really went all out.

Similarly, the gentry of Zhejiang is also doing their best...

Of course they understand that the annual monies can only be bought for temporary peace. The premise of paying annual monies is that they must be qualified to pay annual monies.

Without Yue Fei almost attacking Hebei, Wanyan's idea of ​​taking the blame would not agree!

So they also built fortresses.

In order to prevent the gentry from surrendering again in those cities, they built two fortresses north of Deqing and west of Jiaxing.

In this way, the gentry can have enough time to decide whether to surrender before the shells fall over their heads.

In short, Yang Feng personally presided over the land reforms in various places occupied by him in Huzhou. On the other hand, Su Song and Zhejiang gentry were doing their best to prepare for the war. Later, gentry from all over the country continued to eat melons and happily enjoyed the joy of someone finally thundering him. Although knowledgeable people such as Xiong Tingbi believed that if Yang Feng continued to sit idly and watch Su Song or Zhejiang, it would be difficult to deal with him at that time. At this time, we should do our best and work together, rather than just sitting there because of being alone.

but……

Pooh!

What's wrong with being alone?

Could it be that you, Xiong Tingbi, can you beat Yang Feng?

Since you can't guarantee that you have fought Yang Feng, then train your provincial army honestly. Besides, do you think you'll attract Yang Feng, and then Su Song and Zhejiang gentry will be very grateful, and then work together with you?

Pooh!

They will also watch from the wall.

They are all sensible people!

They are all gentry, and no one knows who can do stupid things.

Just one month passed like this.

Early winter.

Guangdezhou.

Chen Tai, a soldier from the Seventh Town Investigation Battalion in Jingying, pushed a coal truck into the urn city.

"Master Liu Er, the charcoal my fourth uncle's family wants."

He shouted to the officer inspecting the door.

Well, he's a native.

Guangde is already at the forefront.

In fact, Si'an Town is a militia area. Basically, it can be said that the Red Turban Army is out of the city gate. You can see the red flags in the distance on the city walls.

And there are also heavy troops here.

After all, the gentry in Ningguo and other places were not stupid. After Yang Feng occupied Huzhou, he could go south to Zhejiang and north to Suzhou, but he could also go west.

It’s just that the oil and water that are moving westward is not much higher than those on both sides.

The gentry of Ningguo admitted that they were indeed poor compared to the gentry of Susong, but this did not mean that they would not be targeted.

If you want Yang Feng to go east with peace of mind, the best way is to let him understand that the cost of going west is too high.

Therefore, Xu Yuantai, a former Minister of War, was personally in charge of Xu Yuantai, who was from Xuancheng, and all the troops that could be pieced together in Ningguo, Huizhou and other places were in Guangde, and he himself was appointed as the new governor of Jiangnan Camp by Hongguang. As for the original governor Liu Yuanlin, he had mysteriously disappeared. Anyway, he did not show up after escaping from Changzhou. It is said that he boarded a ship to Shandong in Jiangyin, and then fled north to the north...

Of course, it's just a rumor.

But Hongguang Dynasty had indeed dismissed him.

Because Xu Yuantai was respectful, the Hongguang Dynasty also gave him the title of Minister of War, so he was not the governor but the commander. He was the title of Minister of War, and the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the Ministry of War, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and in theory, Dong Yu and Chen Jian were all his subordinates. In theory, Zhejiang Governor Song Yingchang and the new governor of Yingtian Sun Jigao were also his subordinates, but in fact he could not control anyone. Fortunately, in order to protect his hometown, Huizhou, Ningguo, Guangde, and some of the exiled gentry who came from Nanjing and Changzhen, the key was to rely on the Huizhou salt merchants. In short, he still pieced together an army of 30,000 people in his hands.

The general is calm and fortunate.

People from Xuancheng.

To be precise, it is from Xuanzhou.

There are 30,000 Zhejiang troops, commanded by Hang Yan soldiers and commanded by Yuan Cui.

In short, Guangdezhou currently has an army of 60,000, which firmly blocks Yang Yao's journey to the west, but in fact the relationship between the two sides is harmonious.

Not only did Yang Feng change the militia area to Si'an, but even the business travelers continued to sell the food Yang Feng needed. As for the common helpings like Chen Tai, it is indeed necessary to check in theory to prevent any weapons from getting into the city, but this kind of thing happened to the officer guarding the gate...

Liu Er looked at him, then waved his hand casually and signaled to go in quickly.

"Jun Chen's nephew!"

He said to the civil servant sitting beside him.

The latter nodded calmly with the teacup.

Chen Tai pushed the heavy charcoal cart and entered Guangde City openly, then went straight to his fourth uncle's house, and soon arrived at the back door of the latter's mansion. After knocking on the door, someone opened it inside. He pushed the charcoal directly in and walked to the ancestral hall. Someone had already met it inside, and then he carried the bags full of charcoal and poured it out...

It was covered with short guns wrapped in oil paper.

It's just that it's not a rotary wheel to fire, but an ordinary short-screw gun.

These short guns were quickly packed and sent into the ancestral hall, opening the secret door on the ground, and putting the box in.

And the cellar below was filled with such boxes.

"Five hundred short guns, twenty thousand bullets, and five hundred armor-breaking swords, we can finally do it!"

Xu Wen, the battalion commander of the 7th Town Investigation Battalion, who was in charge of this place, breathed a sigh of relief.

"The above order is tonight."

Chen Tai said.

"Go, notify the brothers from all over the place, come over and prepare to get the equipment, go find your fourth uncle, and ask him to find a reason. Now the city investigation is too strict, so many people will definitely make people suspicious."

Xu Wen said.

Chen Tai quickly walked to the front yard and quickly entered a study room.

His fourth uncle was practicing calligraphy. When he saw him entering the door, he quickly put down his pen and smiled, looking at this clan nephew who he wouldn't look at in person...

"Lao Liu is here, sit down quickly, sit down quickly, I'm talking about you these days!"

Juren Chen said.

"Fourth uncle, it's time for you to make contributions!"

Chen Tai took the teacup and said.

"I said that as long as I can do business for Kaiyuan Bo, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Juren Chen said.

Well, the Guangde gentry is not stupid either, and the Huzhou gentry understands them, too.

If Yang Feng really attacks westward, the gentry of Xuancheng will fight with Yang Feng here. At that time, defeat Guangde. If they win, they will save everything behind them. If they cannot win, they will surrender immediately. In the final analysis, they will sacrifice the gentry of Guangde and fulfill the people behind them. Since this is the case, why are the gentry of Guangde being fools? They will not be the victims!

"It's time tonight, but five hundred people gather here, so there's a reason."

Chen Tai said.

"reason?"

Juren Chen pondered for a moment.

Then he waved his hand...

"Just say that your fourth mother-in-law is dead, and I will prepare a funeral for her tonight. I asked the housekeeper to take them, and I said that I had hired them to work, and there were many people coming here, but there were no one counting them."

He said.

"This is a grievance to the fourth mother-in-law!"

Chen Tai said.
To be continued...
