Golden Temple.

Amid the cheers, Yang Dashen was like Li Zicheng in the illustration, bowing to the people who were greeting him while entering this peaceful and liberating city...

Of course, the gentry actually ran away.

Even the Changsheng Army had actually collapsed, Changzhou had been taken down, and the Jintan gentry resisted, and there was no logistics team left by the Nisheng Army. The only remaining local militias were the local militias. The Jintan gentry had not yet expected those slack militias to resist the army commanded by Yang Feng himself. After learning that the Baihexi Changsheng Army was defeated, Tanhua Gong was captured alive, and the Jintan officials and gentry fled without hesitation.

The first cavalry team of the Beijing Camp Cavalry Association, which arrived first, occupied the Jintan.

Then the rest is the people of Jintan welcomed Yang Dashen.

On the carriage behind Yang Dashui, followed by the Tanhua Duke tied to a wooden shelf. As Wanli’s appointed Tanhua, he was also a disciple of the emperor and teacher who dared to betray him. It can be said that he was unfaithful and unrighteous, so he needed to be sent to Nanjing and be punished by His Majesty the Emperor himself.

But before that, you can still use it for an exhibition.

The Tanhua Duke who was tied to the cross and hummed with his head down, made the last bit of awe of the imperial examination gentry in the hearts of the unruly people...

Tanhua!

Isn't it still an exhibition like a dead dog tied there?

What's the use of reading the Four Books and Five Classics well? After all, a thousand words are not as good as a turtle dove gun.

"liberation!"

Amid the cheers, Yang Dashuai shouted with a wooden stand backed by the Tanhua Duke.

"liberation!"

Countless voices shouted in unison.

Especially those locals who had spontaneously joined the Red Turban Army before, cheered and accepted the greeting of their relatives.

Then celebrate their liberation together.

Yang Feng's exhibition of Tanhua Gong did not stop at Jintan. Then he went south to Liyang. Only the gentry of Liyang, who had militia, ran away. After the defeat of the Changsheng army, the nearby counties had actually lost the meaning of persistence, and it was inevitable that the gentry would escape. Then he turned to Yixing, and at the same time, the surrendered troops from Changzhou also arrived at the Taihui Canal. Facing the attacks between the two routes, the gentry of Yixing...

The gentry of Yixing chose to surrender.

The main families in Yixing, such as Fengyi Chu family, Mingling Lu family, etc., got together to discuss it. Anyway, the result of resistance is a dead end. Everyone's purpose is to preserve their family property, but Yixing is a special place because the south is a barrier of mountains. Once you stick here, you will indeed quickly obtain continuous reinforcements from Suzhou and Huzhou, but Yixing will become the most tragic battlefield. In other words, the result of resistance here is to turn yourself into the scapegoat of Susong Gentleman.

He destroyed Yixing but protected the gentry from all over the country, and in the end everything he had to be destroyed.

Of course, this kind of stupid thing cannot be done.

The French don't even do it, let alone the gentry of the Ming Dynasty.

What Yang Feng wanted was to divide the land, and this resistance was useless. He would lose his land if he ran away. Now the most important thing was to save his life and the money at home.

He is embarrassed to search the house if everyone surrenders?

He himself said that he would treat prisoners preferentially. Everyone ran outside and tied them up to treat the crime. He was embarrassed to do it, right?

So the gentry of Yixing quickly tied up the magistrate of Yixing from the Hongguang Dynasty, and then ran outside the city to meet Yang Dashen to wait for punishment...

"Mingling Lu Family."

Yang Dashuai looked at the large group of people kneeling on the side of the road.

One of the young men was looking at him carefully, waiting for his decisive decision.

"Forget it, since you can take the initiative to blame yourself, it can be considered as surrendering yourself and waiting. According to the law, I should be lenient. Let me set a standard. Let's pay some fines and calculate the redemption of the family. As for the land, you still have to share it, but you will also retain a part of it according to your population. You will not even have food fields, so you don't have any real estate. Your shops are yours, and Yang still supports industry and commerce.

Since you are tea merchants, then continue to do the tea business!”

Yang Feng said.

It can be regarded as giving face to Lu Xiangsheng, who was not born yet.

After all, the family like the Lu family in Mingling that died most of the tribesmen in our Qing Dynasty can still be given preferential treatment.

The gentry quickly thanked him, and the young man was also stuck in the middle...

"What's your name?"

Yang Feng pointed at him and said.

"Student Yixing County student Lu Guolin."

The latter said in a little panic.

Yang Feng didn't say anything else. This is Lu Xiangsheng's father. Let him have a safe and stable baby!

"Master, Nandu sent a letter to the public. His Majesty personally led the soldiers and civilians of Nandu to repel the attacks of the counter-party, attack dozens of thieves and capture thousands of prisoners."

An officer walked up to report.

"Ha, Your Majesty has the style of Taizu!"

Yang Feng took the letter and waved at the gentry in front of him.

The latter quickly praised his merits and instantly completed the identity switch, and suddenly became loyal ministers and righteous men.

However, His Majesty the Emperor did win another victory, but the captives and killing thousands of them were just beautification. In fact, the upstream armies commanded by Dong Yu showed obvious lack of enthusiasm in this war, just like Chen Jian's Jiangbei Army. Chen Jian just asked the Caojiang Navy to attack Zhenjiang symbolically, but in fact he was beaten to retreat immediately. Their base was Guazhou City, which was nothing more than the ten miles of water from Zhenjiang.

Dong Yu also only attacked Nanjing in a symbolic manner, but immediately withdrew after being counterattacked by the defenders.

They all seemed to be deliberately watching these gentry in Susongchang Town be unlucky...

The disaster moves eastward!

But in fact it's not that simple.

To be more precise, they all seem to want to watch Susong and other textile bases be destroyed.

When Susong was destroyed, the textile industry in their place rose.

At this time, the gentry was already very clear about the value of industry and commerce, but the problem was that no matter how much they compete in the textile industry, they could not fight with Susong. In the end, they could only rely on Susong's textile industry and gain a share of the piece of food and raw materials to them. But how can they compare to this? The gentry in Jiangxi and Huguang, where they saw Susong's gentry making money every day with the textile industry. Don't they envy? A small town in Shengze is known as the world of clothes and quilts. Don't they want to?

But Su Song walked too far and they couldn't catch up.

Susong's huge production capacity, countless textile workers, and textile technology far exceeds that of other places, are beyond their reach.

I can't fight for others.

But what if Su Song fell into war?

Wouldn't their chance come?

In fact, the textile industry in other provinces of the Ming Dynasty was basically suppressed by Susong. Their cheap and high-quality cloths destroyed all the markets that could be reached by water transportation. They could not buy all Songjiang cloth or Weitang yarn. Not to mention other provinces, even the nearby cotton textile industry in Zhejiang is far less efficient than Songjiang. Almost half of Suzhou's cities are textile workshops, and these two cities, Wuxi and Shengze, have formed a huge textile industry base, and produce cotton fabrics from the entire country every day.

Unless the countryside weaves some local cloth on its own in other places, the rest of the things that really want to be on the same scale as them can only go bankrupt under the impact of their products.

The recovery of Shandong's textile industry is after our bloody cleaning.

Currently, Shandong mainly acts as a raw material supplier. One of the reasons why hungry people are constantly on the road along the western Shandong canal is that the gentry planted cotton for Susong textile industry rather than grain.

But don't they want to do textiles themselves?

It’s not that he can’t compete with Susong, so he can only retreat and act as a raw material supplier.

What Yang Feng does now is really not a bad thing for the gentry in other places. Just like Fujian is already stepping on two ships due to the competition in maritime trade, the gentry upstream also realized that Su Song was unlucky, which was an opportunity for them. In this case, they would rather sit still. In this case, they would avoid attracting Yang Feng to serve as a scapegoat for Su Song, and the other was taking the opportunity to develop their own textile industry. In places like Jiangxi, Huguang, they had the conditions for Su Song.

All we need is to get rid of Susong's suppression.

It's perfect now.

Of course, Gentleman Susong is not stupid either.

Wuxi, Xishan, Longguang Tower.

"This is a disaster. If I had known this, I would rather not fight this war. Now that I have spent money, I still can't save anything, but I have cut off my retreat!"

Zou Diguang, former deputy envoy of Huguang and the current core of the Zou family in Wuxi, lamented at the battlefield filled with smoke in the distance.

It's true that a disaster is coming!

His famous Yugong Valley Garden had just been built. He originally thought that he would write operas in this 50 acre garden, guard the little maids, and then spend his poems and songs with the scribes happily. As a result, a nightmare suddenly came. Standing on this high tower and looking at the battlefield of Yangxi River, which was actually very close, he couldn't help but feel the urge to sigh to the sky...

The heavens are in trouble, and this monster is born!

The innocent world suddenly became a demonic atmosphere.

More importantly, the consequences of resistance seem to be less than worth the cost.

"It's all waste. After spending so much money, even a single army could not defeat. Gu Bosheng talked about military affairs on paper, so he shouldn't have used him to lead the troops. He knows what to lead the troops? Huangkouruzi, who will ruin the country and the people!"

An Xifan's father-in-law Tan Xiu said angrily.

"It seems that Chang Jiejun dares to fight, and Maolumen is still stronger. I don't expect that Wuxi will actually rely on Zhejiang people to save me!"

Sun Jigao, who fled back from the capital, looked at the battlefield and said with some surprise.

The Changjie Army Musketeers, arranged on the south bank of Yangxi River, are forming square formations and shooting ten rounds toward the other side to prevent the enemy from crossing the Yangxi River. On the Gaoqiao Patrol City on the east bank of the canal, the newly installed red artillery cannons are shooting at the canal to prevent the transport ships on the canal from flowing down the river. The two official troops of Dong Chengqi and Li Yingzhao, who had just received a large amount of money, were mainly cavalry, patrolling along the Yangxi River and also blocking the enemy's crossing the north bank.

Of course, there are actually no enemy troops crossing the river at all.

They are just giving themselves courage, but theoretically, muskets with ranges such as the turtledoubled gun can also injure several militias.

The two congresses of the Beijing Camp have indeed arrived, but because the heavy artillery of the Gaoqiao Patrol City blocked the canal, they could only land in the upstream.

The barracks have been established.

And he is also bombarding here at this moment.
