Yang Xiangguo, who was addicted to women, handed over the important task of solving these rebels to his enemies...

They are all part of the Ming Dynasty!

Of course, everyone has a share in this task of fighting thieves for the country.

Whether loyal to Hongguang or Wanli, whether they are mutual protection or stealing one side, they are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Even if they are now in war, they are just different political views. In principle, loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is the same. Therefore, when dealing with this kind of rebellion that openly betrays the country, no matter which side is responsible for it.

What?

Is there a republic in Zhoushan?

The Prime Minister said I just can’t see it!

I saw the gentry in Shaanxi betrayed the Ming Dynasty and created the Datong Kingdom, but I just didn’t see the soldiers and civilians in Zhoushan forming a republic.

Besides, the nature there is different, they regard Yang Prime Minister as the Duke of Protecting the Country.

This means that they did not betray the Ming Dynasty. They regarded the Prime Minister Yang as the Duke of Protecting the Country, and the Prime Minister Yang was loyal to the Ming Dynasty. In this way, they were still in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Can they be the same as those who rebelled openly, such as the Ma Kongying bandits who openly proclaimed emperors?

The Datong Kingdom expelled the vassal kings and killed the royal family, and Ma Kongying even slaughtered the royal family, which was simply ruthless.

Well, Zhoushan soldiers and civilians even bombarded the emperor.

If you can't see, I just can't see!

In fact, he was not interested in these destructive things. It was not important to whether Datong Kingdom was destroyed or not. Keeping them was also an encouragement to Confucian scholars from other places. Yang Prime Minister liked to encourage Confucian scholars to rise up and resist him. The more they resisted, the happier they would be. What really needed to be eliminated was Ma Kongying. These guys are all special types, and it would be a problem to make them bigger. There were many such people in Shanxi. Before, when You Jixian and others swept Yansui, many of them fled to Shanxi.

But he really doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters. The Senate of the Five Provincial Alliance is more anxious than him. After all, these guys want to kill people, set fire, grab money, and grab women.

Yang Feng's harm is still far away, but the harm of these arrogant soldiers is already around.

Without Yang Feng's urging, they would also find a way to solve the problem. In fact, they had already arranged an encirclement around them at this time.

Sun Chengzong advanced westward, and the Governor of Xuanda Wang Xiangqian had previously attended the Senate meeting in Lu'an. He then ordered the new troops in Pingyang, Lu'an and other places to be deployed. Outside Yanmen Pass to the north of Ma Kongying were the vassal state army led by Du Wenhuan and Yang Yuan. There was even an army in Lingqiu, and there was also a Jingying army in the west. The Yansui army of You Jixian was actually surrounded by all sides.

It's just a question of who will attack.

Wuchang.

Wuchang County.

It is the modern Ezhou.

"Hmph, this thief wants to use this to consume us."

The magistrate Yang He sat on a lounge chair under the warm sun, with tea on the table next to him, and a pretty little maid pouring tea for him.

Time is quiet!

And in the room not far away, you can hear the sound of his son Yang Sichang reading aloud.

My Grand Secretary and Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty are only thirteen years old this year. Even by the standards at this time, I was underage. However, because I have a profound family and have a name for a prodigy, I was not at ease with the teachers, so I took it on my post to be responsible for education. However, my Grand Secretary Yang, the three border governor of the Ming Dynasty, did not wait until the 32nd year of Wanli to pass the Jinshi. He ranked in the third place in the first imperial examination in the Hongguang Dynasty, and had been a county magistrate in Wuchang for five years. It was not that he did not have any chance of promotion, but that he did not want to be promoted at all.

This magistrate is so fat!

Because this is the largest industrial zone in Huguang, even in the entire Ming Dynasty, it is still an industrial zone within the top five.

The iron ore in Daye is transported here by water, and the charcoal from the Dabie Mountains in Jiangbei is also transported here by water. In addition, the coal from Taoist priests and other places in the downstream, it finally gathers here into countless factories of large and small, and manufactures various weapons day and night. It can be said that the entire Wuchang County and Daye County in the south, plus the Huangzhou Prefecture on the other side, form a huge industrial area, with iron smelting furnaces everywhere, chimneys everywhere, and the city is full of ironware merchants. This year alone, 100,000 muskets of various types have been manufactured here.

Short spears, E-version bird guns, Yingtian versions of muskets, and original turtledove guns that have become water war weapons, can all be produced here.

Not to mention armor.

There are even hydraulic forging hammers here, and this year, more than 50,000 sets of iron armor alone have been created.

Of course, there is another inevitable result, that is, slums are everywhere in the city and around the city walls, and countless refugees gather in this small town.

Every morning, there are countless boats selling fish and rice by the river.

This is all silver.

What County Magistrate Yang likes to do the most is to take the tax collectors to take a walk every morning, immersed in the smell of money and pointing at him and unable to extricate himself.

"Master, this is the filial piety that Mr. Huang gives you, but his shopkeeper complains that it is because workers have caused trouble recently."

His old servant whispered beside him.

Then he quietly handed over a dozen silver notes with a denomination.

"Workers make trouble every day and can't even get stuck in the jail. So what can I do? Could I build a new cell for them?"

Yang He said.

This place is not as advanced as Zhejiang, and can create debt prisons. In fact, they also think that after all, there is a more free coolie here, a debt prison is needed, and then throwing people into the iron ore to mine for free is a good thing for the official, the iron ore owner and even the court, but Xiong Tingbi firmly opposed it. In his opinion, this was not a happy thing for everyone, but a knife to Yang Feng.

"He should mean to be prepared to kill a few lives and to shock us, so hello to us in advance."

The old servant said.

"There is no king's law!"

Magistrate Yang snorted coldly.

Then I picked up the teacup and stopped talking nonsense.

The old servant shut up even though he knew it. It was obvious that the magistrate had acquiesced, and this was to avoid causing trouble for the magistrate. After all, the workers had to suppress the yamen, but if they solved it themselves, the magistrate didn't have to worry about it. It was just a few workers who died. One day there weren't a few dead bodies in the Yangtze River, but it would be strange if there weren't a few people who died in Wuchang County. It was common for robbery, robbery, robbery, and the troublemakers were sunk by the factory owner to the river.

Then he looked at the supervisor who was reading in the window.

"The young master is getting more and more knowledgeable. Is it time to go back to the county exam next year?"

He said.

Magistrate Yang nodded calmly...

"Bang!"

The gunshot suddenly rang.

Magistrate Yang was stunned for a moment, then he and his old servant looked at each other...

Then several gunshots were heard.

"Go and have a look!"

Magistrate Yang shouted.

Shooting is not a rare thing, at least not at all in Wuchang. Those businesses have caravans, factories have factory guards, mining guards, and even robbers can take out short guns. This place is originally a heavy industry, cannon casting, and gun-making, and even flintlock rifles are imitated. Although the Hongguang court theoretically prohibits the purchase of guns and cannons among the people, in fact, there are endless bans.

Magistrate Yang deserves tens of thousands of taels of filial piety to collect the arms dealers in a year.

Who gave the money he banned?

Therefore, it is not uncommon for gentry to rob business and bring out fire from the musket team.

This is also the reason why Yang Magistrate makes money here, but no one wants to compete with him for this magistrate. It is indeed quick to be a magistrate here, but it really requires courage and ability. If the means are not enough, it is normal to be shot and shot. Yang He can be the governor of the three sides. Although his result is not very good, his ability is definitely outstanding among the imperial examinations and Jinshi.

At this time, the local gentry in the Hongguang Dynasty was powerful, and local officials did not have real talents, and they could not even make money.

At this moment, a yamen run over hurriedly...

"County Master, the Huang family workers asked for wages, blocked the Huang family's mansion and rushed in to see Mr. Huang. The Huang family's guards fired guns and injured several people."

He shouted.

He might have shouted louder.

The magistrate, who was studying at the next moment, poked his head out...

"I'm so annoying, I'll let you study!"

He shouted.

"Uh, the young master calms down, the young master calms down. It's these troublemakers who make trouble for the young master."

The old servant quickly said with a smile.

"Hmph, bad guys, don't be An An starving mantis, especially like the mantis!"

The magistrate snorted coldly, then retracted and closed the window to continue reading the book of sages.

"If you don't do An'an starving mantis, you will be more effective than a mantis. My son is a big deal. He can quickly mobilize the militia. After all, the Huang family is a family of juren. How can he allow the troublemakers to make such a fool of themselves? If you ask for money, you can't hit a private house? According to the Ming Dynasty's laws, those who trespass into private houses will be beaten to death!"

Magistrate Yang shouted.

It can be seen that he is very satisfied with his son's growth. Those who can do such two sentences at this age can definitely say that they have a bright future.

"Little understand!"

The yamen runner immediately saluted and turned around and left.

The important means for Yang Magistrate to control localities is the militia. This militia was not a local, but the similar servants he brought from his hometown Wuling. They were all hired from mountain people. The militia of 300 people had to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver per year. But they could suppress Yang Magistrate, especially those factory guards and other factories. Then these factory owners and mining owners gave him a total of more than 100,000 taels of filial piety every year. In addition, they also made money in business, and Yang Magistrate earned 200,000 taels a year.

"Let's go and see, it's getting less and less serious. Also, what's going on with the Huang family? They just sold 10,000 bird guns to Liu Jing, but now they don't even pay their wages. If he pays the wages, no one will cause trouble, just causing me."

Magistrate Yang said dissatisfiedly as he walked out.

"Go back to Master, they overturned a ship on the Han River. A lot of those goods have not arrived. Liu Jing used this as an excuse to temporarily detain half of the payment for the goods. Therefore, this business is not profitable. Master Huang also feels that he is good at treating workers on weekdays. Now he is facing difficulties, so he has to be more considerate of each other. If the factory collapses, the workers will lose food and clothing. Therefore, everyone works together to overcome difficulties. Who would have thought that these unruly people do not understand the general and do not understand their difficulties at all. These unruly people are too ignorant."

The old servant said.

"It's hard for him!"

Magistrate Yang said with emotion.
Chapter completed!
