Chapter 509: Fighting the local tyrants to divide the land again
Dantu Castle.
"Wait for Mr. Xuan, is this your promise?"
Ge Lin pointed ahead angrily and then asked about Shang and Zhou Zuo beside him.
On the canal ahead of him, a fleet full of bandits was coming. On the river bank of the south bank were also endless cavalry. On the deck of a large ship in front, Governor Yang, wearing heavy armor, was standing proudly on the bow of the ship carrying Shangfang's sword.
There was also a shield in his other hand.
Governor Yang is currently also at the highest level of defense. This shield is only more than 100 kilograms. It is completely tempered with hard iron that has reached the level of low carbon steel, and then penetrates the surface. In theory, it can withstand direct shots of three-pound cannons. Of course, this resistance means that it will not be penetrated. In fact, he will still be pushed by the huge impact force and then slapped into rotten meat. The rest depends on whether he can restore from the rotten meat state...
It probably is quite difficult!
But no matter what, Governor Yang has set up his highest defense level and led his minions to enter the flower world in Jiangnan.
Then Shang and Zhou Zuo sighed.
He patted Ge Lin on the shoulder helplessly.
"It's up to you!"
He said.
Ge Lin glanced at Shangshu speechlessly.
"Prepare to fire!"
He shouted.
"All are liars, cowards, and corrupt!"
He then added.
On Dantu Fort, the two-pound field cannons that had just been pulled over and the four-pound cannons of the original four-pound cannons aimed at the canal fleet at the same time.
"Fire warning!"
He said.
The two-pound cannon suddenly spit out the fire crow.
The shells hit the river bank all at once, and then they hit the dirt and splashed. The shells that had bounced fell into the river.
Yang Xin's ship stopped immediately, and then followed the cavalry to rush down the river bank to form an array. At the same time, the ships behind him moved forward. The muzzles of the mortars and guns pointed to the sky at the bow, and the gunner quickly loaded the shells.
Ge Lin looked at this scene silently.
What he has done so far is nothing illegal.
Because Shang and Zhou Zuo were right next to him, and as a local armed force allowed by the government, the task was to guard the local area. Yang Xin, as an army ordered to go south to suppress the rebellion, disobeyed the orders and imperial edicts of the Ministry of War. Shang and Zhou Zuo, as the counselor of the Nanjing Ministry of War, had the right to prevent Yang Xin from acting further when Yang Xin could not determine his purpose. In the absence of an official army, he also had the right to mobilize the Ministry of War to block the country, but for just blocking, he had no right to attack Yang Xin.
Because the latter has the Shangfang Sword.
As the governor of the military affairs, he has the right to make decisions on the occasion of the opportunity, and he has the right to take action first and then report to the general. In other words, Yang Xin really insists on going here, and there is nothing wrong with him.
Of course, this doesn't matter.
It's already this time, who cares about this kind of program problem?
Shang and Zhou Zuo held up the imperial edict and opened it to Yang Xin in the distance with a solemn expression...
"Imperial Order..."
He shouted.
"Open the door quickly, open the door to welcome the Marquis of Hejian, and fight the local tyrants to share the land!"
The shouts suddenly rang behind him.
Shang Zhouzuo, who was holding the imperial edict, turned around in shock, and then saw a farmer dressed up on the street, waving his hoe to buzz his arms and shouting. Then more farmers rushed out. The local people who originally gathered in the fort looked at him in a daze, and then followed them to the city gate with equal ecstasy...
Ge Lin shot the sky without hesitation.
"Those who dare to be in chaos will be killed!"
He yelled.
The next moment, the sound of horse hooves running behind him rang out.
Ge Lin turned around and saw the cavalry of the bandits rushing towards him, but then a soldier beside him ignited the rocket and rose up with the rockets. The cavalry of the Tiger Force who had previously formed a formation and was waiting outside the city immediately activated the war horses.
"I'm honest with me. Don't think that if you come to Yang Xin, you can make a big difference. It must be noted that this world is not his Yang Xin's world. To fight the local tyrants and divide the land? Being a person must be conscientious. This is the ability of thieves and robbers. You have forgotten both ethical principles and conscience, and you have forgotten your teachings of sages and wise men?
Just a word of nonsense makes you forget it?
You can't make it through this day!"
Ge Lin turned around and shouted with a short gun.
The next moment, the sound of cannons behind him suddenly rang out.
He turned around in shock and saw smoke rising from the sky outside, then landing in a very beautiful arc, falling from the sky, falling into his cavalry, and then burst into flames. The cavalry, who had never experienced the explosion of the flower bomb, was in chaos in an instant. The huge explosion sound, the terrible flames, and the pungent smell of gunpowder made the war horses choose to turn around, and the war horses behind could not stop and immediately collided with the ones in front. Then their collision triggered a chain reaction, and more cavalry collided because they had no time to avoid it.
The neighing of war horses, the scolding of cavalry, and even the laughter of cavalrymen from the bandits were all heard from afar.
Immediately afterwards, the mortars sprayed out flames again, and the same smoke streaks soared into the sky, and in a blink of an eye, exploded among the Huwei cavalry that had fallen into chaos.
The cavalry of the bandits stopped simply.
Sun Shoufa and Kong Youde, two bastards, brought a group of cavalrymen including Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng, happily enjoying the chaos on the opposite side. On the troop transport ship behind them, the mortar cannons were still firing, shooting expensive flowering bullets at the Huwei Army. This thing did not kill a few people, because the shells were cast by pig iron and easily shattered in the barrel, so they did not dare to be too thin. They had to ensure that the wall was thick enough, resulting in a small amount of charge, and that little black gunpowder was very weak.
But it is really useful to scare cavalry!
There were even two that exploded in mid-air due to fuse problems.
This one is even more scary.
Ge Lin turned his head with a gloomy face...
"The Huwei Army is defeated!"
The farmer raised his arms and shouted again just now.
Ge Lin pulled out the short gun beside him without hesitation, pulled the trigger at the guy, and the bullet hit the man's chest. Then he saw him screaming and suddenly fell backwards in the arms of a farmer. Then several farmers around him surrounded him, one of them looked at Ge Lin with grief and anger...
"Friends, fight with them!"
He shouted in grief and anger.
Then dozens of farmers around him yelled forward, and the other farmers were also angry by this scene. Of course, it was mainly because of the desire to beat the local tyrants and divide the land. In addition, the temptation of Governor Yang outside, following these people flocked to the city gate. Ge Lin held the empty short gun and looked at this scene powerlessly. It was obvious that he remembered the scene when he was driven out of Danyang. He was indeed brave and good at fighting, but he was really powerless in facing this scene!
"Open fire!"
He yelled gritting his teeth.
"Stop!"
Shang and Zhou Zuo grabbed him.
Ge Lin looked at Shang and Zhou Zuo in shock, and the latter shook his head helplessly.
"retreat!"
Ge Lin squeezed out two words from his teeth.
He knew that everything was meaningless, and even if he opened fire, he could not stop it. He could indeed suppress these people. But the problem was that Yang Xin was outside the city. There was no way to hold on to the civil strife here and attack there. He had no choice but to retreat. Moreover, if he killed civilians in a large scale, Yang Xin would use this assurance to arrest him and punish him with confidence.
This treacherous minister likes to take advantage of the situation.
If he really suppressed on a large scale, he might not be charged with any crime when he turned around.
Accompanied by the cheers of the people in the city, he and Shang and Zhouzuo, led the Huwei Army to retreat along the city wall in disgrace, and soon left the city gate on the other side. At this time, his cavalry was defeated, or were shocked by the explosion of the flower bullets. They would give up on this side and go directly around the bandits and return to Zhenjiang. Ge Lin looked at Yang Xin who was disembarking from the ship in the distance and came to the river embankment. The latter seemed to have seen him, and the two of them silently met half a mile away...
"Young man!"
Governor Yang said with emotion.
This result is inevitable. Ge Lin is still young after all. He did not understand the true thoughts of those gentry such as Ying Tian, who were the backstage of the Huwei Army.
The latter asked him to intercept it was just a matter of meaning.
There are no houses that were confiscated before in these places. Wen Zhenmeng and others are all in the east. Governor Yang will also harm Gentleman Su Song. So is it necessary to fight here? Gentleman Yang is just passing by. If he really fights, there is no way to reinforce this side. In the end, the gentry here is still unlucky. Since this is the case, of course he will just want to do it casually, and then he will send Yang Xin, the plague god, away.
Shang and Zhou dysfunction understood.
He even came to control the situation.
He is here to prevent Ge Lin from not understanding the real situation and causing big things to be ruined.
At this time, the farmers who opened the city gate had already flocked to him. Governor Yang immediately put on a kind smile and waited. Soon, these people fell to his knees in front of him, and even more villagers who were not originally in the city rushed out from all villages and gathered towards Governor Yang. Of course, there were also gentry who wanted to cry but did not cry and ran out to stop them, but at this time the Huwei army had already evacuated. They would definitely not be able to stop the farmers, and they could only sit on the ground and cry while the latter pushed them away.
"Mr. Marquis, will you beat the local tyrants and share the land?"
An old farmer lay on the ground and looked at Yang Xin eagerly and said.
"There is no need to fight against the local tyrants. After all, I think there are no decent local tyrants in this area to fight, but the land can be divided. All the places from Jingxian Mountain to the east are converted into militias and belong to Zhaoyi City. I will arrange the loyal and brave army to help you. I will make the decision on this matter. If anyone dares to obstruct you, come to me!"
Governor Yang said with a wave of his hand.
Then there was a burst of cheers in front of him.
At this time, dozens of sailboats sailing downstream were stopping on the Yangtze River in the distance. The ships were loaded with soldiers. On the deck of the largest one, He Gang, the deputy commander of the Changsheng Army, watched the scene silently with a telescope, while the staff officer next to him, Song Zhengbi, put down the telescope.
"One of the time others can't rely on themselves in the end!"
Song Zhengbi said hatefully.
"We must turn around and retreat, and of course we must guard our own land!"
He Gang said.
Song Zhengbi immediately issued an order.
Chapter completed!
