Kong Youde officially became the minion of Governor Yang.

He can still fight.

As for the original historical roles, there is no need to worry about this. He probably has no chance to serve our Qing Dynasty. In fact, it is hard to say whether our Qing Dynasty will have it again in the future. After all, the current national name of the wild boar skin is still gold.

As for the Dajin who obeyed the will of heaven and raised the wise Khan of the nations...

Well, this is the official title of the Wild Boar Skin, and it is said that his title has been available since the 44th year of Wanli. When he stayed in the landlord's mansion in Hetualan, he could actually come up with such an exaggerated title for himself. It is indeed quite a bit like a monkey calling him the king. As for his alliance with Lin Danhan, let them go. Their series of collusions will be completed, and it will probably take September, which is to think about how much they can come out in autumn to calculate the amount they can spend the next winter.

As long as Sun Chengzong is prepared, it is enough.

At this time, Liaodong and western Liaoning were like iron walls. After all the big cities were repaired, triangular forts were attached, and small forts were all bastioned. Important brick forts such as Fengji Fort, and unimportant small military camps were ordinary rammed earth forts.

All the bastions have cannons.

No shortage of money.

It costs more than five million taels a year.

Moreover, Sun Chengzong and Chen Yujie were able to cast cannons themselves, both of which were iron-core copper cannons, and even cooked iron-core pig-iron cannons. The latter was already quite cheap, and the only problem was that they were bulky, but it was no big deal for use in urban defense. In fact, the casting of composite gun barrels in the Ming Dynasty began in the Jiajing period. They were all forged with cooked iron. To put it bluntly, they were forged with iron rods wrapped in iron, similar to the manufacturing of gun barrels. Then, a tail of the same forged was added to the tail, and the rest was poured with iron or copper in the mold, and finally made into a complete cannon body.

In fact, this is the way to cast after a raven.

This is different from Yang Xin. Yang Xin simply does not care about the cost, and makes gun copper by refining bronze and performing preliminary processing of the gun bore to improve performance.

His cannon is indeed good.

But due to price issues, it has been basically abandoned by the mainstream.

Before, it was because everyone was so bad that his cannon was expensive but easy to use.

Of course, his price is actually not much different from those in the first place, but the latter is mainly because of its high false head. As Huang Kezhang and Xu Guangqi both attach importance to technology, and a large number of private merchants invest in this industry, the price of artillery is also declining while the performance of artillery is improved. In this way, although everyone admits that his performance is good, the price of artillery is indeed not reduced, it will inevitably be abandoned.

At this time, even the navy's own warships purchased copper-iron composite cannons produced in Macau.

The artillery of Gegu factory is only in the field of Army field artillery, and there is no competition yet. After all, the key to field artillery is to try to be lighter.

And his cannon is the lightest in his class.

Also because artillery is getting cheaper, Liaodong now has a large number of artillery on ordinary small bastions, which is not expensive anyway. Even Jintaiji has purchased a large number of artillery from Chen Yujie, and his Yehe City has also built a bastion.

After all, the steel output of Ming Dynasty was much higher than that of Europe.

If Wild Boar Skin and Lin Danhan are willing to use their heads to hit this defensive system that can be called a solid wall, it would be fine if they add Shuolei, and it would be fine if they really had a 200,000 cavalry. Anyway, Sun Chengzong would definitely be able to guard Governor Yang, and Governor Yang arrived, that would be the end of Wild Boar Skin.

Since this is the case, Yang Xin will not care about it. Let’s wait for the news first.

The communication ship of the Beiyang Navy was ordered to wait for his order in Niuzhuang. At this time, the communication ship had evolved to fly the head, and it would take only a few days to get from Niuzhuang to come here.

Immediately afterwards, his army left Guazhou Gate...

"Thinking of the past..."

Governor Yang threw away the folding fan.

"Hao Jian, do you know any other poems?"

Gao Hongtu said speechlessly.

"Uh, I don't know why, every time I enter the Yangtze River, I think of this poem when I look at the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Every time I see the flower world in the south of the Yangtze River, I think of what it would be like if I were to massacre the city here. I remember the past, the prosperous competition, sigh at the entrance of the building outside the door, and the grief and anger continued!"

Yang Xin said, shaking the folding fan indifferently.

There are countless ships gathering at the Jingkou Gate opposite, and countless people can be seen at Jinshan Temple.

This is here to welcome Governor Yang...

No, this is to prevent Governor Yang from entering the Jingkou Gate.

If we say that the Ming Dynasty currently ranks the cities with the deepest hatred of Governor Yang, Zhenjiang must be among the top three, and maybe they can even compete for the first place. The gentry who lost their land in Zhenjiang Prefecture are now all gathered in Zhenjiang City. Unfortunately, the entire Zhenjiang Prefecture is now the only city left. Ten miles south of Zhenjiang City is the control area of ​​the Red Turban Army.

Danyang, Jintan, and Dantu who lost their land in the local area all gathered in Zhenjiang.

After all, this is still a mansion.

Zhenjiang Prefecture has not yet been abolished, and their imperial examinations and household registration management are all in Zhenjiang Prefecture, including the magistrates of each county, just like the overseas counties established in the Southern Dynasty. Danyang magistrates and Jintan magistrates are all crowded in Dantu City, including the county teachers. Anyway, they have no money to make money, so they live on the little salary of the court. They live one by one, but they live better than death. They gather together every day to curse Yang Xin. It is said that they even published a collection of poems arrogantly.

It is to put together the poems that scold Yang Xin and add some people who miss the beautiful life in the past.

And make a big profit.

Currently, almost every gentry in Jiangnan has a book of this collection of poems!

Anyway, it's like those exiles.

During Yang Xin's stay in Yangzhou, these gentry had already completed the connection, including some gentry in Jurong, Wujin and other places who were also persecuted, and together they laid a wall of iron at the Jingkou Gate to block the treacherous minister and prevent him from entering the canal to continue to persecute the local geniuses in other places. Of course, it was mainly requested by the sponsors behind them. Although theoretically, the order given to Yang Xin by the Ministry of War was indeed to go to Jiangxi, just think about it with your brain and know that Sun Chengzong could not control Yang Xin.

Isn’t it just money and food?

Some are in Zhaoyi City.

This year, the wheat harvest in Zhaoyi City handed over more than one million stones of wheat. These wheats are still in Danyang, and it is said that a large part of them have been ground into flour. This is exactly the taste of the bandit army. This one million stones is enough for more than 10,000 people to eat for several years. In addition, there are also Yang's canning factories and arsenals in Zhaoyi City. Basically, everything is needed. Yang Xin will not be controlled by money, grain or other things!

Not to mention that there are only more than 10,000 troops, it is fine to recruit tens of thousands of troops in Zhaoyi City.

So he will definitely not miss this opportunity.

"Horse Hejian, where are you going?"

Gao Hongtu looked at Yang Xin with a vigilant look on his face and said.

He felt that the bow of the boat under his feet was turning, and the bow of the boat that was originally heading west after leaving the Guazhou Gate was slowly adjusting southward...

"What's going on?"

Governor Yang said, shaking his folding fan.

"Back to my uncle, the tide is gone, and our boat cannot move the river water!"

Yang Huan said.

"Ah, then just do whatever you want!"

Yang Xin said.

"Horse of Hejian, the Ministry of War has strictly ordered that we must go to Jiangxi."

Gao Hongtu protested without hesitation.

"Brother Yanwen, this is not that I don't want to go. No one can do anything about the ebbing tide. You probably don't know that there is a tide in Jingkou. Now that the ebbing tide and the countercurrent are gone, there is no upstream without a good wind. If you don't believe it, go and let those sailors turn the rudder."

Yang Xin said.

"Uncle, at this moment, the river water and the tide are very fast, and it is easy to capsize when the rudder turns hard."

Yang Huan protested.

"Ah, then don't turn around."

Yang Xin said.

Gao Hongtu was immediately stunned. He ran back and forth on the deck, looking at the river water below at a loss, which was originally a countercurrent. In addition, when the tide was low, the river water below was flowing very fast, and the wind direction was unfavorable, and the sails were lowered. The bow of the boat without any power was pushed by the water flow and turned unstoppably to the south. Soon the bow of the boat was facing the south bank. And it was still turning continuously. Gao Hongtu looked at the tower of Jinshan Temple in shock and entered his own field of view, then the Jingkou Gate, and then Zhenjiang City. The boat that was supposed to go west after leaving the Guazhou Gate, just inserted the Jingkou Gate diagonally under the river water.

At the Guazhou Gate that was opened behind, the same ships loaded with soldiers were like this. They flowed down the Yangtze River with the guazhou water, and then were pushed by the river to follow them to Jingkou.

"This is God's will, God's will cannot be violated!"

Yang Xin shook the folding fan and said seriously.

At this moment, the crowd gathered in Jinshan Temple was in a state of turmoil. At the same time, a flag was extended from the Cishou Tower. Then the large and small ships crowded in front of the Jingkou Gate gathered towards the gate, quickly blocking the gate like a garbage belt after a tsunami, completely blocking the entrance of the Jiangnan Canal.

The next moment, a stream of smoke rose on Jinshan Mountain, and then the shells fell into the open area on the river.

"What does this mean?"

Yang Xin said in surprise.

"Salute, welcome the governor to Jiangnan!"

Gao Hongtu said angrily.

He can't change anything now, but Yang Xin still has to enter the Jingkou Gate after all, and he still can't get in the Jingkou Gate.

"The gentry in Zhenjiang is so polite, I'll give you a gift!"

Yang Xin said.

The gunner next to a mortar cannon on the front deck opened the ammunition box, took out a huge shell with a wooden bullet holder from it, opened the wax seal plug on the shell, and the soldiers next to him took out a wooden cone tube with scales and threads from the small box and handed it to him. A piece of paper roll was exposed on the spinal canal like a cigarette roll, and the gunner quickly drilled holes on the top scale line to insert the cone tube and twist it, then took the ignition rod and looked at Governor Yang.

The latter nodded.

The gunner immediately put the fuse into the ignition hole.

As the flames and smoke erupted, a shell dragging its small tail soared into the sky.
Chapter completed!
