In fact, for the Fujian gentry, this was indeed the only choice at the end of their lives, because Yang Feng intervened in the Wuchang Uprising for this reason.

Then workers can revolt, and of course gentry can also revolt.

Of course, they have no right to revolt.

After all, Fujian is still the Emperor Wanli, and their actions can only be considered rebellion.

But they can petition, they can play with the public opinion. Originally, the lower classes of Fujian were also eager for the militia of the Red Turban Army. Zhejiang had already completed reforms, and a Xianxia Pass could not stop the exchanges between Fujian and Zhejiang. It had long known that the changing people of Fujian were all looking forward to Yang Xiangguo. However, Fujian's overseas trade was developed, and the opening of Nanyang Company in Bengang attracted a large number of poor people from the bottom to go overseas, diluting the conflicts among the people, so it has been stable over the years.

It is like a clear stream in a chaotic world.

Especially in the coastal areas, gentry made a fortune by industry and commerce, and also brought their clans to a good life.

But this is essentially different from the militia area of ​​the Red Turban Army. The gentry and master were also ruthless when exploiting the clan.

The mortality rate of poor people who go to Bengang is also very high.

Their envy of the Red Turban Army militia area always exists.

Then we encouraged the people of Fujian to go north to petition Yang Xiangguo, and asked Fujian to be included in the jurisdiction of Yingtian Jianguo.

As for Fujian gentry, they can also divide the fields in advance.

Occupy the moral commanding heights.

We have all divided the fields, even if we embroidered the flag overnight, we are also the Red Turban Army.

Then you can't ignore us, right?

For the top families like Liu Shangshu who have already completed their transformation and are even the main shareholders of Nanyang Company, the distribution of land is really not worth mentioning.

That little bit of land rent is nothing!

They can easily get out a ship of goods, and the money they earn will be able to buy all the land in a county at the current price.

What's more, they have already begun to explore overseas, and they know very well that the land is really not valuable, and they have as much as they need outside.

Nanyang Company has reclaimed nearly 100,000 acres in the Bengang area. Cultivating sugar cane and making sugar there has begun to affect the interests of the gentry of Leizhou's sugar industry. This is also one of the main reasons why Fujian and Guangdong are in harmony. In fact, with the rapid development of industry and commerce, the conflicts between the gentry will definitely expand. But Nanyang Company will not let go of this big money-making business because of the dissatisfaction of the gentry of Leizhou. Who do you care about in front of the money? Moreover, the rice there has even been resold to Fujian.

According to the plan of Li Dan and others, we should continue to expand the land reclamation in the future. Although it will be a death to overcome all obstacles and explore the wilderness, fortunately, life is not worth the money.

But sucrose is really valuable.

Especially after taking advantage of the Dutch trade, the sugar exported by the Nanyang Company was being shipped to Europe in a row.

You should know that the Ming Dynasty is still the only place of production of sugar.

It’s not that there is no sugar industry elsewhere, the sugar industry is very old, but this one is the only one!

Britain first arrived in the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period, and almost all of them were filled with sugar when they left.

Especially after taking advantage of the imperial camp to clear out the natives, Nanyang Company can continue to reclaim wasteland in Danshui, Zhuluoshan and other places, and continue to expand the sugarcane planting area.

After all, there is no management of the imperial court there, it is entirely owned by Nanyang Company.

However, what he said himself certainly did not count. Defu suggested that the board of directors and the shareholders' meeting of Nanyang Company decide together for such a big matter.

The latter has no problem.

Because shareholders are all top families like him.

But the former has to be a little trouble, because Fu suggested that the matter was composed of elders from all over the country, and most of these elders were not from Nanyang Company.

The shareholders of Nanyang Company are from the three core areas of Fujian, Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Fuzhou.

It is even from the coastal areas of these three prefectures.

The gentry in the inland mountainous areas is not as good as the partners. They are just partners, supplying Nanyang Company and then getting a share of the latter's overseas trade. For example, the gentry in Wuyi Mountain is a tea supplier for Nanyang Company, but the gentry in Wuyi Mountain is not a shareholder. In a sense, they are even exploited by Nanyang Company, after all, the latter has formed a monopoly.

And monopoly companies are not a good thing for upstream and downstream.

But those gentry had no choice, after all, they had no other choice now.

In short, after Liu Tinghui took over Lin Shizhang who was beaten by the emperor until he was still breathless, he then left Penghu to go back to plan his gentry's land distribution.

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

Yu Zigao looked at His Majesty the Emperor who had sat down again and said with a smile on his face.

"Why, you want to beg for mercy?"

His Majesty the Emperor sneered.

"Your Majesty, I am also forced to do things for me. They have captured my family and persecuted me to do things for me. If I do not agree, they will destroy me."

Yu Zigao knelt down and cried.

OK, he is going to try to see if he can also rebel.

Everyone is smart, and the situation has reached this point. Even Liu Tinghui can't hold on, so he began to consider using poison to fight the poison. Of course, he should also think about his own way. The Yu family is not a big landlord, and he doesn't care about dividing the land, but this military power cannot be lost!

He must have been kicked away after surrendering to Yang Feng.

"Ah, that's right. I'm going to destroy your entire family, so it's good to let them do it for you."

His Majesty the Emperor said calmly.

"Uh, Your Majesty, I am really wronged. Your Majesty, as long as your Majesty can pardon me, I will protect you even if I try to be wiped out by them. The captains of all ships under my command were forced by them. As long as Your Majesty can pardon these captains, they will continue to be loyal to Your Majesty. If you are down today, Your Majesty is the time to use people. I am just forced to do so. Your Majesty, please give me a chance to atone for my sins!"

Yu Zigao said sadly.

"dream!"

His Majesty the Emperor answered very simply.

He can now confirm that something really happened in Guangzhou.

These guys are really at a loss, otherwise they wouldn't have started to break up like this, which means he is sure to win.

Then what is he anxious about?

Just have fun with these guys!

Anyway, if you give them some courage, they will not dare to kill the regency.

Yang Feng is watching!

I have to say that the Emperor with Yang Feng behind him is confident.

What's more, if he continues to be tough, the internal strife between these guys will only become more and more serious, and even internal fire will be very likely.

"His Majesty!"

Yu Zigao continued to kowtow and cried.

"Military gate, the enemy is coming!"

Suddenly an officer behind him ran and shouted.

Yu Zigao turned his head in shock...

On the distant sea, you can already see countless white sails. The wind direction of this season has changed. From Guangdong to Penghu, it has become a good wind. On the contrary, it is a good wind when it goes south from Penghu. Therefore, the fleet that guards the emperor is anchored in the port, at most, it is to travel to Yuegang and Bengang. There are almost no patrols to the south. Besides, they do not need patrols at all. As long as someone comes to rescue the car, they can go out to the port to fight directly.

"I think of your father's merits, so I can give you a chance. As long as you commit suicide at this moment, you can pardon your family. However, it is inevitable to search the house. At most, you can leave some land to support your family. As for the shares in Nanyang Company, of course you have to confiscate them."

The emperor said with a smile.

Yu Zigao looked back at him sadly...

"Rise the anchor and fight!"

He then roared with grief.

Then he climbed up without hesitation, rushed to the dock with his subordinates, and headed straight for his flagship. Soon as he boarded the flagship, he issued an order. The four horizontal ships and thirty-six fighting ships in Penghu Bay all raised their anchors and sailed, and opened the cannon doors to push out a respectful cannon. This navy, originally built to resist Yang Feng and defend His Majesty the Emperor, is about to fight with the fleet that came to rescue His Majesty the Emperor.

The fleet in the distance was also becoming clearer little by little, and warships modified by Portuguese merchant ships were the first to reveal their true appearance.

These armed merchant ships using soft sails have quickly added more artillery in Macau.

The two largest ships even had more than fifty guns, but because the internal deck could not withstand heavy artillery, they were all twelve and eighteen pounds that they could withstand. As merchant ships mainly for freight, they certainly did not have thick wooden boards like warships. Fortunately, they were all ocean-going cargo ships, and the wooden boards were not too thin.

Not as good as the Tiellimu Ship.

But it is not worse than those relatively smaller fighters.

Yu Zigao's fleet quickly sailed out of Penghu Bay. The fast-speed fighting ships were the first to fight with the Yingqi fleet. The smoke of gunfire rose on the blue sea and flames erupted. The warships used naval guns to bombard each other at a distance of hundreds of meters. The shattered wooden boards splattered in the roar of the shells, and the flesh and blood in the broken cabin was splattered.

The rumbling cannons frightened the people on the shore, and they all ran around the emperor to watch.

Soon the four horizontal ships fought and began to fight against the modified merchant ships with their twenty-four-pound cannons.

But warships are warships after all.

The first battle of the Henghai ship almost severely damaged an armed merchant ship in the first round of volleys. The powerful heavy artillery easily penetrated the wooden boards and swept the sailors inside.

"Your Majesty, let's avoid it first. If a stray bullet falls, it's easy to get hurt."

The imperial concubine said carefully.

Of course, she was just over-concerned that even the stray bullet could not land on the shore.

"No, I'm just watching here. They are here to rescue me. How can I inspire morale if I retreat?"

Wanli said.

He is also in a complicated mood at this moment...

Because the rescue fleet obviously could not defeat Yu Zigao's navy, a soft sail warship had already been beaten out of the battle, and the other ships were obviously suppressed. After all, this was a real navy and had practical experience, and the Yingqi Fleet was a group of miscellaneous brands.

mob.

Courage is commendable, but it is at sea.

Speaking of the combat effectiveness of Yu Zigao's navy, the Emperor's previous efforts, represents the achievements of His Majesty's Emperor, but it was presented to him in this way.

"well!"

His Majesty the Emperor could only sigh.
Chapter completed!
