Chapter 339 Cruel Repression
So Governor Yang's bad behavior triggered another riot...
"What do you want to do? Do you rebel?"
Governor Yang stood in front of the general's mansion and angrily scolded the military households who gathered to protest.
His different treatment aroused the anger of some military households in the Left Guard of Guangzhou. After all, their lives were not good. They were also military households after all. The recruitment of the new army of Governor Yang represents the minimum amount of 18 taels of silver in the annual military pay, which is the legal military pay for recruiting troops.
In a place like Guangzhou, 18 taels of silver a year is enough to support the whole family. The rice price here is only twenty or thirty cents at the lowest price, and a liang of silver can buy several stones of rice.
Even when the people caused trouble before, the rice price was only more than one or two taels.
After Governor Yang severely cracked down, it has now been reduced to about six cents, but even this is actually slightly higher than in previous years. In the 46th year of Wanli, Chaozhou suffered a typhoon and flooded over 10,000 yuan, causing the price of grain to soar. A village official cried and wrote a letter to wailed for half a year, and he had to endure hunger and die.
He was hungry and died after 100 coins and nine liters. How could Xuan Da survive if he had five taels of silver and one stone?
The current price of copper for 100 coins is no more than one or two stone.
It's even more worthwhile to wear.
The least valuable thing here is cloth.
The price of sugar, meat and salt are all cheap.
The largest salt-producing area in Guangdong is where Yang Huan fought, so Yuandudu’s younger brother became a salt merchant.
Therefore, 18 taels of silver can make a family of three have enough food and clothing, and a family of five can barely live. Even a family of computerized households may not be able to make 18 taels a year. This is a good thing that can support the whole family by just a young and strong family is undoubtedly a dream for the military households of the four guards in Guangzhou. However, because the command of the Guangzhou Left Guard's hereditary command of the left guard, the surrender of the governor Yang, resulting in the removal of his troops of Qianhu and 1,000 households of Qianhu were excluded from the new army. This obvious act of personal revenge is simply outrageous...
"Governor, please pity the poor young men. Commander Yu has made you guilty, but the young men have not offended you!"
An old military household was wailing.
Then there was a wailing kneeling on the ground.
"Nonsense, you have to be responsible for your words. What commander Yu is the chief commander who makes the prisoner guilty? It's ridiculous. Is the chief governor who takes personal revenge? This governor has his own considerations for the chief governor. You have too many rules and cannot be mixed with other soldiers, and this governor cannot train a single army for you. Therefore, your unit is not in the scope of reorganization. What does this have to do with this governor whipping the chief commander Yu? Don't make trouble, this governor Shang Fang Baojian is here. If you dare to make trouble, be careful of military law to deal with it!"
Governor Yang angrily rebuked righteously.
"Governor, please be kind!"
...
The wailing continued.
"What do you want to do? Do you threaten the governor? Come and beat these dogs out!"
Governor Yang said angrily.
The bandits behind him immediately stepped forward.
This move instantly aroused the other party's anger. After all, these military households were not good-tempered. Then several young and strong people stood up and tried to stop the bandits.
Some people even threw stones.
In the chaos, I don’t know who was hitting Governor Yang’s head.
"Opening fire is simply a rebellion!"
Governor Yang covered his head and shouted angrily.
The musketeers of the bandits immediately pulled the trigger.
The military households who were causing trouble on the opposite side were not prepared at all. They never thought that Governor Yang would shoot, but as the flames on the opposite side burst, the military households who made trouble fell in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, the musketeers turned from the middle gap to the end, and while walking, they were loading while walking. At the same time, the second row of musketeers moved forward. They aimed at the military households in chaos and continued to fire and fire, completing the shooting like those before, turning back and loading while walking, and then a row of musketeers continued to go forward and fire...
Ten rows of musketeers.
Reverse revolving shot.
The musketeers of the bandits seemed like mechanically, constantly carrying out the procedures of opening fire to loading. The number of ten rows ensured the sustainability of the fire. In the continuous spray of flames, the bullets kept flying towards the military households that were causing trouble.
The latter ran away in horror and screamed.
But the muzzles behind them still gushed flames.
The brutal suppression even Yan Yikui was shocked. He came to Governor Yang with trembling fear...
"Governor, just punish Xiaoshi."
He said carefully.
"Punishment? This governor is to kill these rebel soldiers who dare to rebel!"
Governor Yang covered his head and howled.
Yan Yikui quickly retreated aside.
This kind of brutal suppression is indeed a bit too much. People just petitions, and there is no need to use a gun to catch a few leaders and chop them. Governor Yang obviously takes personal revenge, but this governor is acting strangely, and always makes inexplicable actions, which is like a scattering. However, when he was drawn to the right governor in four years, he was a scattering commander. He was just a scattering commander who had his beard turned white. So he could only say that his IQ was too different from others.
Since that's the case...
Just look at it.
Nowadays, no one of the Jinyiwei spy leaders is cruel and handcuffed, killing people without blinking.
The shooting of a total of 200 musketeers continued to rotate. When the first batch of musketeers fired the second round of bullets, Governor Yang finally ordered the stop of shooting.
Then Commander Yu, who had been hiding beside him, wailing in the sea of blood.
"Treacherous minister, I'll fight you!"
Ma Qianhu rushed towards Governor Yang with a knife roar.
The next moment, twenty muskets in front of him spewed out flames, and then Ma Qianhu kept trembling in the impact of bullets like a hero in some movies.
Then fell among the dead bodies.
"Commander Yu was in trouble, causing the military households in his subordinates to cause chaos and dismissal. Ma Qianhu was the head of the rebellion, and he was shot dead on the spot to assassinate the governor. The family members who participated in the rebellion and died were scattered. All the families involved in the rebellion and died moved to the various garrisons in Guangxi and Guizhou. Those who were alive were exempted from death. Regardless of their previous official positions, they would be sent to the various garrisons in Guangxi and Guizhou for soldiers."
Governor Yang covered his nose with a handkerchief to prevent the bloody smell from invading his keen sense of smell, and said with disgust.
Then he returned to the General's Mansion with high hopes.
The commander outside was crying heart-wrenchingly.
Of course, no one knows why Governor Yang brutally suppressed these military households so much. He killed more than 400 military households in the street, which were originally just petitions, and could only be attributed to his moody character. However, this matter was just a topic of discussion that would pass away soon for the military and civilians in Guangzhou. Governor Yang slammed the military households in Guangzhou and killed hundreds of them. The rest of the people were afraid of it. Not to mention the emperor, even those who were in the military department and Governor Yang were just taking a look at it.
However, the effect of the more than 400 dead bodies is also extremely obvious...
"Didn't you eat?"
Governor Yang held up his trumpet and brutally scolded the dying soldiers on the city wall.
This is his second assessment.
The assessment conditions were the same as the first time, but this time he was riding a horse and personally supervising under the city wall. Then, amid his scolding, the soldiers who were half dead on the female wall all shivered. Then, there was no idea where the strength came from, and he struggled to get up and stagger forward and continue running.
Governor Yang is now like a devil.
No one knows whether this moody guy will be like the military households of the left guard in Guangzhou. He is in a bad mood and directly fired the gun. After the gun is fired, he throws the whole family to Guangxi. By the way, the battalions of those battalions have now been cleared, and men, women, young and old are taken on the boat crying. Tens of thousands of people are driven out of Guangzhou by him in one sentence, and then scattered to the garrisons of Guangxi and Guizhou. Such people are watching from below, even if they are exhausted on the city wall, they cannot stop. If he is not happy, it will not be just the whole family will be in trouble.
All relatives and friends are in trouble.
In short, the exhausted soldiers on the city wall all accelerated as if they were whipped.
"Everyone is quick, the first ones who arrive will get the silver, and the last ones who arrive will get the whip!"
Governor Yang said with satisfaction, holding up the trumpet.
This new army was very important to him because at this time, Guangdong and Guangxi lacked an elite army that could truly suppress the local area. The Ming Dynasty actually relied on wolf soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi. The troops of the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi used the battle of Datengxia to fight were wolf soldiers. The key points of land defense in western Guangdong and northwest Guangdong were all wolf soldiers stationed. The Ming Dynasty's principle of Datengxia was to use wolves to control Yao. There must be wolfs, but the troops in Guangdong and Guangxi were all corrupt. Only the navy was barely capable of fighting, and the guards on the land could suppress the civil unrest.
This definitely won't work.
Guangdong and Guangxi must have a real mobile combat force.
As for the military pay of this army, it is not difficult to solve. The war situation in Liaodong is now stable, and there is no need to fill in silver like in history. Tianqi has enough financial resources to maintain this ten thousand troops. As the army directly under Tianqi, they can also suppress Guangzhou and squeeze more silver from the gentry of Guangzhou. After all, why did the Emperor of Ming Dynasty make the least profit in Guangzhou's overseas trade? It's just that the guards in Guangzhou can no longer suppress the emperor. Why can the Qing Dynasty force the Thirteen Corps to contribute wealth at any time? Isn't it just that the general of Guangzhou is watching with a knife?
Apocalypse needs an army similar to the Eight Banners in Guangzhou, and this army can play this role for Apocalypse.
"You, if you don't want to die, keep running, walk if you can't run, climb if you can't walk, and you won't have to walk anymore in this life!"
Governor Yang kept howling with a trumpet.
The soldier who was threatened by him wiped his tears, cried like a collapse, and then struggled forward with the female wall...
"uncle!"
Later, Yang Huan urged his horse to come and interrupted Governor Yang's evil taste.
“Macau’s expedited.”
He handed a document of expedited to Governor Yang.
Yang Xin took it and opened it...
"Ha, we're finally here, our money bags have finally arrived."
Then he said excitedly.
Chapter completed!
