This plan actually...

Actually, it's really a bit of a problem.

Wanli knew very well that after Yang Feng occupied Wuchang, the Hongguang Dynasty was actually on the verge of collapse.

No one knew Yang Feng better than him. Although the Red Turban Army was not good at the attack on Xiaogushan Fortress, it was only an inevitable result.

Xiaogushan is a fortress group.

On the left is the Emeizhou Castle, and on the right is the heavy artillery of the Penglangji River. In the middle is a stone island stuck in the middle, and it is also extremely steep.

Xiong Tingbi chiseled this small stone island into a fort, and blasted the stone mountain like a cliff with gunpowder, breaking outward holes. In the end, the entire island was like a honeycomb, and then a large number of light artillery were stuffed into it through ropes and steps. The soldiers and ammunition were stored in the depths of the cave, and the rest was to export it as much as possible when facing the attack.

The enemy cannot even effectively attack them because the angle of elevation is related to the river surface, and it is difficult for warships to hit them. If the soldiers attack for a force, they must first land on the island and then climb the mountain.

To be precise, rock climbing.

Basically, they were just shooting targets.

These light artillery and the heavy artillery guarding the top of the mountain.

Of course, it is not the 18-pound cannon, and the one cannot be obtained at all. Moreover, the seven-pound cannon is enough to deal with the Yangtze River gunboat that can reach here.

As for the Suojiang heavy artillery, there are also many 18-pound heavy artillery fires with extended gun barrels on the east side of Xiaogushan. Not only are Xiaogushan at the range, but the Emeizhou prism on the other side are covered by these heavy artillery fires, but these heavy artillery fires are also on the top of the mountain, and even facing the attacking side's north side, there is a cliff, unless it goes around and attacks from behind, but there is also a turbulent Pengze County town behind.

The entire fortress group is really solid. In order to avoid rebellion by the unruly people, even the local population has been moved.

Only the garrison was there.

And it is impossible to avoid this fortress group, because the lake is a few kilometers west of Xiaogu Mountain, and the mountains are steep acres a few kilometers east of Pengze County.

If you want to open the throat of the Yangtze River, you can only take out enough time to chew it a little bit until the defenders have no ammunition and food, otherwise there will be absolutely no possibility of opening it.

but……

Yang Feng has arrived in Wuchang.

He didn't need to chew on the Little Gushan Fortress at all, it was just a restraint.

When did he really attack the enemy fortresses over the years? Didn’t he run inside the people and incite the unruly people to rebel. This time, he has reached the point where he has rebelled without inciting them. Such a good situation is just like the Battle of Qiting, inciting millions of unruly people and playing the torrent tactics. Even if the Xiaogushan Fortress is cast, it cannot control the millions of unruly people in the rear!

Yang Feng really understood the people's hearts.

Facing him, it is useless to build a fortress or a new army, so His Majesty the Emperor is not interested in building a fortress at all.

In other words, the Humen must be cultivated, after all, this must be guarded against enemies at sea.

But the new fortresses being built in other places have stopped, after all, he is now limited in funds.

Being honestly gives the lower class some benefits, coaxing them not to rebel is better than anything else, such as what His Majesty the Emperor is doing now.

Farmers are exempted from all kinds of tyrants and miscellaneous taxes, and only land taxes and count taxes are retained. Moreover, the count tax is distributed to land taxes, and the fire consumption is limited to two%.

This is strictly calculated by Hai Rui.

The fire consumption of silver recasting is no more than 2%.

The land rent for gentry is limited by imperial edicts, and the maximum amount cannot be exceeded 50%. Those who exceed the amount will be arrested and have to pay a fine. The usury strictly limits one principal and one profit. Those who find that the higher ones will be cut off.

Corrupt officials restored the old Taizu system, and more than 60 taels of skinned grass.

Really peeled.

He had peeled several human skin models filled with straw during this period, and placed them in several government offices to wake up the latecomers.

The old Taizu system was restored and the people were allowed to tie down corrupt officials.

Anyway, his territory is small now, and in fact, the only one that can be tied to the Pearl River Delta is the Pearl River Delta. It is difficult for ordinary people in other places to tie to the cat.

You will be stolen and killed on the road.

But the Pearl River Delta is completely possible.

The administration of officials in various places can be said to be clear and clear in an instant. It is really a trembling person who is an official and does not dare to embezzle at all. After all, it is useless to want officials to be honest.

But peeling the solid grass is really useful.

The officials cried and cursed Liang Yunlong and others behind their backs. These bastards brought this tyrant, making the entire Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian officials miserable. The gentry also gritted their teeth with hatred, but under the tyranny of the emperor's power to destroy a large number of families, they could only kill their teeth and swallow them. Who told them to welcome the emperor? This one belonged to him would admit it with tears, otherwise the tens of thousands of new troops, like wolves and tigers, and the troublemakers who cried in various places, would really scatter their families and destroy them.

These reforms to restore the ancestral system really made the people ecstatic.

It can be said that His Majesty the Emperor has been in Guangdong and Guangxi for a while, just like Yang Feng in the heart of the Red Turban Army. He is simply worshipped by the military and civilians as gods.

And he is legitimate.

He was originally the emperor.

He is the true dragon emperor.

At the same time, he was particularly attracted by the generals.

Most of the shares of the Nanyang Company confiscated from the elders were rewarded to the generals, and most of the merchants in the elders sold half and half at low prices, and even the beauties in the elders were rewarded to the generals. He is now becoming more and more like his ancestors, and he has returned to the main body of the imperial concubines and civil officials as the assistants, and he will also fulfill his words to the soldiers. The rewards promised at the time were basically fulfilled, and military pay and other strict supervision will be strictly carried out. Any general who is greedy for military pay will be severely punished.

He even ordered his soldiers to be responsible for the execution and asked the soldiers to beat the soldiers to death with their military pay.

Wanli is really strong now.

With Foshan, the largest military-industrial base, Guangzhou, the largest overseas trade base, you need money, industry, and the people's hearts gained by reform, a new star with a very time traveler style is rising.

He is supported by the Southwest General Group.

He already has the ability to fight the Northern Expedition.

Of course it was not the Red Turban Army of the Northern Expedition, but the Hongguang Rebel Party of the Northern Expedition.

The irrational thing about the Northern Expedition of the Red Turban Army is definitely not possible, but as a person who is still under the name of the Wanli period, it is natural to fight against the Hongguang Party of the Northern Expedition. No matter what Guangzhou and Yingtian know each other, they are all subjects of Emperor Wanli. Then there is no difference in the fight against Hongguang. The Red Turban Army can attack Hongguang, and Guangzhou can also attack Hongguang.

Once he commands the army in person, Jiangxi will definitely not resist.

After all, the gentry of Jiangxi is just joining the group with the gentry of Huguang to keep warm. As long as he is willing to pardon these people's crime of rebellion, they will definitely be more straightforward than abandoning Hongguang than they did in the past.

Yang Feng has occupied Wuchang, and Jiangxi and Huguang have actually been separated.

The basis for group heating no longer exists.

There were no Huguang soldiers in Jiangxi, mainly their own Chang'an army and Panyuan's bandit army. But if Jiangxi surrendered, then Panyuan would certainly surrender, and then everyone transformed into Wanli's subjects. This was also a good thing for them. They could break away from the rebel party again, and then as subjects of Wanli, they said in the war between Yang Feng and Hongguang Dynasty that they had nothing to do with the Hongguang Dynasty.

Although this is actually a betrayal of Huguang, the problem is that at this time, of course it is the main thing to protect yourself, and you still have to betray it if you need to betray it.

Wanli won two powerful new legions.

His strength has skyrocketed.

Of course, there is another problem that needs to be solved.

What should I do if the gentry in Guangdong rebelled?

And this can be said to be without suspense. As long as he leaves Guangdong, the Guangdong gentry will definitely rebel. These bastards are so angry that they grit their teeth at him. How could they not rebel?

"Your Majesty, Guangdong is not the residence of the emperor after all."

Wang Xijue said carefully.

This means that we have already squeezed out the value of Guangdong. You have obtained a real legion in Guangdong. All of this legion has been replaced with the latest weapons and trained with the latest tactical methods. All the oil and water that Guangdong can squeeze out is all. Do you still want to really live in Guangzhou? After the imperial army personally, they will rebel and let them do whatever they want. If the Northern Expedition is successful, then you will unify the country in name.

Although it is only nominal, it is not as peaceful as it is now.

More importantly, he holds the elite troops of the Imperial Camp and then incorporates Jiangxi and Panyuan. His Majesty the Emperor can have at least 300,000 new army.

There are also Dingsheng Jun and Fang Congzhe Group, as well as Liu Yu from Sichuan and Tusi Group as allies.

At that time, they would definitely return to the banner of Wanli.

I am really qualified to fight against Yang Feng.

At that time, Guangdong gentry rebelled and was nothing more than a new army to suppress it.

If it fails...

Then come back!

If the Guangdong gentry dares to rebel, it will be just right. More than 100,000 new imperial camps will come back and continue to suppress them, then cut off a wave of leeks and scour another wave of homes, and the money and land they get will continue to expand the imperial camps.

Very beautiful.

Don't be afraid of them rebelling.

Their rebellion is a good thing. As for the current image of the emperor among the people of Guangdong, coupled with the loyalty and combat effectiveness of the imperial camp, and the cooperation of the navy group, we will kill another wave of wealthy families in Guangdong, that is, sprinkling water! Why should we worry about this problem? There is no need to worry at all, and it is a pity that they do not rebel, and it is to rebel, let alone Yang Feng. The emperor's Northern Expedition was politically correct, his division was famous, and he fought the Hongguang Rebel Party, and he went to fight side by side with the Red Turban Army.

Everyone was under the same banner. The emperor made a Northern Expedition to cooperate with the Red Turban Army's Western Expedition.

"In this case, then I will draw an order, just say that I will personally lead the six armies to the northern expedition, and first transport all the food and ammunition collected from various places to Shaozhou for later use."

Wanli said with satisfaction.

"The old minister follows the order, but in fact, Jiangxi does not lack this."

Wang Xijue said with a smile.

The emperor was afraid that the Guangdong gentry would rebel and cut off their supply. This issue was not necessary to be concerned. Jiangxi's military manufacturing industry was sufficient to support it. As for grain, it was the most in short supply of things in Pianyuan and Jiangxi.
