The Red Turban Army that took Danyang did not go north, but turned toward Jintan, but they encountered tenacious resistance from the group trainees.

And it’s not just a group training in Jintan.

Even the Liyang regiment training reached the reinforcement of the Golden Tower. The commander of this regiment training was Chen Mingxia. Like the Lu brothers, he hired a large number of miners from the Guangde area with the help of the gentry of Guangde and organized a regiment training of 3,000 people. In order to avoid surrendering to the Red Turban Army, the families of these miners were also controlled as hostages under the banner of care.

However……

This is of no use.

Because the Red Turban Army pushed the Red Barbarian Cannons to the Jintan City.

Poor, the famous ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Dashun and Qing dynasties in history ended with disfiguration when they first appeared. His said handsome face was penetrated by a piece of broken bricks and had three teeth lost. In short, the face was well maintained and could not be described as handsome. Fortunately, after conquering the Jintan, the Red Turban Army temporarily stopped attacking and instead established a defensive system in Changdang Lake and Maoshan. To put it simply, it was to build a Henglin-style bastion, which was nothing more than a four-angle bastion of rammed earth, then dig out trenches around, and a circle of inclined surfaces were piled up on the outside.

This project is very simple.

The militia were full of energy at this time.

As for the cannons, the Red Turban Army seized more than 30 red-branded cannons alone.

There are countless Francs and the like. At present, both the official army and the regiment trainees play the role of the transport captain. In addition, there are smuggling ships transporting them. After all, the Yangtze River, which is dozens of kilometers wide, is a completely smuggling paradise.

That's all.

Yang Xin's goal in this round was to turn Zhenjiang into an isolated city at the same time. In fact, Zhenjiang has become an isolated city. The villages outside Zhenjiang are all farmers who organized themselves to fight against local tyrants and divide the land. Because Yang Xin deliberately did not transfer troops, he even strictly prohibited troops from entering the war zone. The guards around Nanjing wished to learn from the Red Turban Army. This area was a group training to resist. But the group training can be ignored. After all, those gentry hired group training to spend money. After losing the land, their property could not last long. As for the gentry in Susong and other places in the east...

They were breathing a sigh of relief.

The Red Turban Army expands westward, so they can feel at ease for the time being.

As for taking the opportunity to attack Wu Jin...

Their losses have not been made up before. Besides, in the wars these days, just hiring team training and purchasing weapons has already made them feel pain.

The group training was filled with silver. The Yixing group training had a monthly salary of three taels, not to mention that they had to be equipped with a full set of firearms. Not to mention the daily training, the cannons were all silver when they fired, and they threw the cannons to the Red Turban Army. At least the combat effectiveness of the group training will definitely be in vain, unless the comprehensive training of those group training has actually begun. Whether Shen Tingyang or the Lu brothers, they all began to train the group training, and they were all hired Dutch instructors.

After the opening of Songjiang port, a large number of Dutch merchant ships rushed in. They used Hong Kong Island as their base to head north to Songjiang, avoiding Guangzhou, which the Portuguese had been operating for many years, and then directly purchasing goods from Songjiang.

Just like the British in history.

It is precisely because of this that the relationship between the Gentleman Susong and the Dutch has heated up sharply.

But the problem is that all these have to be paid for.

They did get help from Dutch mercenaries and could get in touch with the most advanced European tactics. They could even get in touch with the Morris phalanx, at least they could understand it. But the problem is that the silver must be spent like flowing water.

If it is to defend themselves, theirs can grit their teeth and pay the money.

But others are another matter.

They did empathize with the miserable situation of the gentry in Zhenjiang, but they could be sympathetic. In order to help Zhenjiang gentry escape from the sea of ​​suffering, they paid their own money to provoke the Red Turban Army that no longer attacked theirs, and then attracted the Red Turban Army back to make themselves unlucky for the gentry in Zhenjiang...

Then this is obviously impossible.

In short, for the gentlemen Su Song, they sympathized with the experience of the gentlemen in Zhenjiang, but let the Red Turban Army continue to bully the gentlemen in Zhenjiang!

In this case, the Red Turban Army will meet their requirements.

In the following time, they quickly completed the militia of Danyang, Jintan and the surrounding villages outside Zhenjiang. The procedure is now very simple, one village and one battalion, young and middle-aged people gathered together and selected the most convincing person to be the head of the village and battalion commander. The land of the gentry that originally cultivated was planted. Then these heads went to the county to hold a meeting and brigade. The ten villages were a militia brigade, and they were also townships. Yang Yuan appointed a township commander and brigade commander, and he would take some of his subordinates to be responsible for the management of the township.

When war is needed, the township commander and brigade commander, the battalion commander and the head of the village are dispatched with militias.

And each county has one army.

Currently, there is a militia army each of Wujin, Danyang, Jintan, Zhenjiang and Jiangyin.

The regular army is the bandit army, plus the surrendered ones, and expanded in Danyang, Jintan and other places. The total strength of the Red Turban Army has reached 50,000.

Military supplies come from home searches.

All the gentry in this area are not ordinary fat.

At present, the grain and gold and silver accumulated by the Red Turban Army can last for at least two years, and even the excess grain can be used to replenish the people.

However, a normal regime can be established this year, and once this matter is resolved, the 60,000 Red Turban Army will definitely be reduced. Although Yang Xin’s plan is to change it to a militia on the spot, this is just a story. This territory must be maintained with 10,000 elite standing troops, and the financial resources can be fully afforded. This ten thousand standing troops can replace the original local garrisons in Jiangnan, and even the militia area in Wuxi can be included in this system. With this, it can be said that there are militias in four and a half counties, what else can be done in this area is simple.

As for the memorial of the nobles...

That one is useless, they have a fart to say.

What is their purpose? Those civil servants don't understand.

However, at this moment, rumors that Governor Yang might have rebelled were spread rapidly in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also known as obvious evidence. Whether he was Yang Feng, Wuxi militia, bandit army, or even local soldiers, they all openly joined the Red Turban Army, all proving that this rebel army that swept across the south of the Yangtze River was caused by Governor Yang.

He could do this, and there was only the last bit of cover left before the blatant rebellion.

"I'm wronged, I'm even more wronged than Dou E."

Governor Yang continued his performance.

A group of civil servants looked at him carefully.

This incident is indeed very scary. Although they all wish Yang Xin would be cut into pieces, if they think about it seriously in this situation, they will find that once Yang Xin really rebelled, it could be said to be a disaster, or even a catastrophe. It is a disaster for civil servants and gentry.

What happens once Yang Xin openly rebels?

All the officials and nobles in Nanjing were directly taken away by him.

A total of ten thousand local soldiers were stationed outside Chengtian Gate. They could turn Nanjing into Yang Xin's world in less than an hour, and then all the noble property and the wealth of all the gentry were all in his pocket, conservatively estimated to be tens of millions of taels. Then what should we do? Fengyang's bandit army would lock the Huai River within ten days, and Fengyang's military households would join them without hesitation, and then go down the current to occupy Huai'an. Yang Xin would use silver and divide the land to let all the military households of the entire Nanjing guards follow him wholeheartedly. In addition to the Red Turban Army next door, it can be said that the entire Nanzhili was his pocket.

Then he continued to fight against the local tyrants and divide the land.

All the gentry were finished.

The danger he had to face was that his own women were searched.

And it is not certain, because those women can retreat here from the sea, and Yang Xin also has a powerful navy in his hands. This navy has just joined two of the latest giant ships. According to the statement in the newspaper, it seems like a mountain on the sea. When the cannon is fired, the city is shattered.

And this area has a population of tens of millions.

As long as he continues to fight against the local tyrants and divides the land, he can arm a million troops in this area.

Not to mention that he still has a lot of allies in the north. If he really rebels, then Jintaiji and Baishi in Liaodong, even Chen Yujie and Cao Wenzhao, etc., may go south to be founding fathers for him. In addition, there are also the chieftains in Guizhou. His concubine is the daughter of the prefect of Zhenxiongtu, and he has a good relationship with Qin Liangyu's family.

It would be no problem if he fought for the world.

Then all the gentry in the Ming Dynasty were in trouble.

"Governor Yang, don't care about such rumors. Although I have some differences in political views with the Governor, I am the first one to disbelief if I say that the Governor will rebel."

Wang Yongguang stroked his beard and said.

"Yes, yes, the governor was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. He served the three emperors and was selected by the temple for His Majesty. If the governor rebelled, then there would be no loyal ministers in the world."

Qiao Yingjia said, pinching his nose.

Then they signaled to the other civil servants with their eyes.

The latter quickly expressed their absolute belief in Governor Yang. Governor Yang was a loyal minister, and Governor Yang would never rebel. Governor Yang was Yang Feng. All these were rumors and people with ulterior motives were nonsense. Governor Yang should not take it to heart. These people with ulterior motives were afraid that the world would not be in chaos. Those who spread rumors and accused Governor Yang must strictly investigate these people who spread rumors and accused Governor Yang.

It's really a shame for them to say this.

"But what are the uses of these? Three of them become tigers. Now everyone says I am Yang Feng, and everyone says I want to rebel, which makes my heart confused. I think of me, Yang Xin, who is going to fight for the Ming Dynasty, can be easily returned home once a year. I still pay the military expenses for Pingshe'an by myself. It can be said that I am destroying my family and the country. Now I have been framed as a treacherous minister and treacherous rebellion. My heart is almost broken. Please come back. In order to show my innocence, Yang will close the door and wait for His Majesty to deal with it. I don't want to say anything more.

Thousands of hammers are chiseled out of the deep mountains, and the fire is burned as if it is easy. You are not afraid of being crushed to pieces, but you must keep your innocence in the world.

Everyone, let me die innocently!"
