Li Zicheng was included in the reserve list of the bandit army in this way...

He will definitely come.

A postman has a far-reaching future, and cannot be promoted or made a fortune. At most, he can make a living. However, his nephew is already the chief of the sentry here. Although he does not have the official title of the court, if he actually needs it, a thousand households can do it.

In short, joining the bandit army will definitely have a bright future.

It was already night now.

Yang Xin returned to his command center at the top of the mountain, sat in the early autumn night wind and looked at Huishan, who was still in the war.

The flames of the flowering shells on the mortar on the headmao Peak can be vaguely seen without a telescope. The flames falling from parabolas passing through the sky turned into explosive flames on the Tin Mountain that can also be seen, making the eye-catching dragon tower appear and disappear from time to time. This tower has been hit by many shells, but in fact, this tower is the main bombardment of this tower. He wanted to use shells to collapse the tower.

It is the center of Xishan Fort. Once it falls, it will definitely hit many defenders, and even the broken bricks that explode can fall and hit people.

But it is obvious that the tower is quite sturdy.

The artillery position went westward, along the ridge line of Toutomao, Ermao and Sanmao Peak, there were torches that could be seen from time to time. They were militiamen who transported ammunition to Toutomao Peak overnight. They started from Qianqiao with manpower and backpacks, carried the ammunition up the mountain road with ammunition and diagonally inserted the ridge at an altitude of nearly 300 meters, and then followed the trail of the ridge to the artillery position.

Yang Xin did just send out the turbulent bandits to join the war, with a total strength of only 12,500 troops, but in fact, the rear mobilized 30,000 reserve militias in this leadership. They were like the front team, responsible for all auxiliary tasks, and there were more than 5,000 people who transported ammunition to Kong Youde alone.

They needed to carry everything that Kong Youde had done in a brigade fighting at Toumaofeng with a basket.

But most are still below.

He was still digging the trench system that extended forward day and night. At this time, four twenty-four-pound cannons had reached the forefront and waited for the trench system to be dug through and entered it, avoiding the artillery fire of Hengshan Fort and advancing within one or even a half miles, and then starting to bombard the bastion.

The Changsheng Army has not yet counterattacked the leader.

It is probably still in chaos.

Today's start was obviously a bit off guard for them.

By the way, they have prepared for this for nearly three years, spent countless money, and even had foreign players. They can be said to have run into modernization all at once, thinking that they are sure to win, but they still failed as soon as the war started.

It's hard to accept emotionally.

More importantly, the strategy must be adjusted next. After the Chang'an army suffered a crushing defeat and even lost nearly half of the losses, their current military strength is already at a disadvantage. At least with the current military strength in Wuxi, it is difficult to take the initiative to attack and launch a large-scale field battle. That is, relying on Hengshan Fortress to block the attack to the south, and then find a way to regain the Tomb Peak to stop the bandits from bombarding the Xishan Fortress. However, it is not so easy for them to attack backwards.

Now they were a little helpless!

However, Yang Xin couldn't beat him for a while.

The location of Hengshan Fort is so good. This bastion built on the mountain cannot even dig tunnels. Anyone who tries to go through Hengshan Fortress will aim at the muzzle there.

The only way is to attack hard.

The rest is Kong Youde's troops defended the headmaofeng and waited for the trench system to be dug, bombarded with twenty-four-pound cannons, and then concentrated on the elite attack until the defenders surrendered. In short, he would take some time.

However, there is still some trouble in the capital. Obviously, Sun Chengzong, whether it is nine thousand years old, will not support him to continue to cause trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, or even Tianqi. This time he may not have to face Tianqi's obstacles. His Majesty the Emperor is obviously ready to stop, and there are wild boar skins from the north. Once the autumn harvest is over, he will definitely come out to grab grain. If he doesn't grab grain, he will not be able to survive this winter.

There are a lot of troubles too!

He even just got the news that Li Dan died of illness, but this time he did not die in Hirado, but his own hometown Quanzhou. His son Li Guozhu and his godson Zheng Zhilong are already competing for the industry he has left behind.

"Uncle, the prefect asked for a visit."

Yang Huan said.

"Bring it here!"

Yang Xin said.

Soon, the prefect of Changzhou, Zeng Ying, was brought over.

"Brother Zhonghan is here to congratulate the great victory of the government army?"

Yang Xin said.

They are also acquaintances, so there is no need to be too polite.

"Is it a great victory for Hejianhou?"

Seeing that no one was moving a stool for him, Zeng Ying simply found a stone to sit down.

"Is the Bandit Army not an official army? Although the Bandit Army is not affiliated with the Governor's Office of the Five Army, it is also a serious official army. Yang led the official army south to face the blockade of local rebellions. He fought hard and conquered thousands of prisoners and killed them. Isn't it a great victory?"

Yang Xin said.

"Is the regiment training a rebellion? They have the order from the Nanjing Ministry of War."

Zeng Ying said.

"Ah? Could it be that the Nanjing Ministry of War intends to rebel?"

Yang Xin said exaggeratedly.

"Isn't it that the Hejian Hou resisted the order?"

Zeng Ying said.

"It's not worthy of being called. Yang holds Shangfang's sword and has the right to make a decision on the spot. Besides, this is a conflict between Chang Jiejun and Zhongwang Army. Yang has to come. It would be too much to say that he would resist the imperial edict. When His Majesty's imperial edict was issued, he didn't know that something was wrong here. Yang was also worried about the conflict between the two sides causing chaos. It's obvious that Yang did a good job. Now both sides have stopped fighting!"

Yang Xin said.

Zeng Ying looked at him deeply.

"Horse Hejian, if you open Huishan to go south, how will you continue your journey? Zeng is from Jiangxi and has no inch of land in Susong's prefectures. Now he is a bystander, and he is here to ask Hejian to tell the truth."

He said.

"What's wrong? Someone wants to back off?"

Yang Xin said.

It is obvious that the daytime battle has shaken some gentry again. After all, they only have that little courage. If the Chang'an army wins, even if they even get a draw, they can still be braver. But a crushing defeat is another matter. If the Chang'an army loses, then the Chang's winning army will certainly be defeated. They spend so much money but will definitely fail. Then we have to think carefully. After all, this is their daily operation. We really can't expect them to be determined when doing things, hesitating, looking around, and retreating in the face of the situation.

Zeng Ying didn't say anything.

"What do they want? If I go south just to turn those militias, they will let go shyly?"

Yang Xin said.

Zeng Ying nodded silently.

"Look at my face, look at my scars, look here, look here!"

Yang Xin said, like a woman poking her face in an advertisement.

"I really want to coax them, and agree for the moment and then go back to my regrets. Anyway, at most I don't admit it later. You said that you were talking nonsense. Those gentry are not capable of biting me, at most they will bite you to death. But I don't like to cheat people, and I don't like to cheat people, so I can only ask you to go back and tell them, let them wash their necks and wait for me to take the knife! Don't they run away this time. I will take the gentry of Susong Jiahu and Hangzhou in one pot, and turn all the land north of Qiantang River east of Huzhou into militia areas. Don't they dare to buy rifled guns and shoot me black guns? Then you have to be prepared to bear my revenge!"

Yang Xin said hideously.

"Horse Hejian, don't forget that you are still a minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zeng Ying took a deep breath and said in horror.

"Yes, because I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty and are loyal to Your Majesty, I have to turn all the fields in these places into imperial fields to solve the problem of Your Majesty's lack of money once and for all. The 6 million mu of fertile land in Suzhou Prefecture is not considered hidden fields, and the hidden fields are estimated to be 8 million. In the past, it was said that Suhu Lake was ripe and the world was sufficient. Even if you pay a rent of seven dou of land for Your Majesty, the entire Suzhou Prefecture will be 6 million stones! The five prefectures plus Zhaoyi City a year of 20 million. With these militia imperial fields, the Ming Dynasty will no longer have to mention lack of money.

Look, am I not loyal enough?

The five prefectures are added to Zhaoyi City, with a population of more than 10 million and a young man of more than 3 million. One out of ten can get 300,000 elite troops.

The Ming Dynasty also had soldiers.

As long as I do this well, the Ming Dynasty will never be short of money and food, and the elite soldiers will never be short of. Then, as a loyal minister, a true loyal minister, rather than those who claim to be self-proclaimed, why don’t I do it?"

Yang Xin said.

"Harao Hejian, are you not afraid of chaos in the world?"

Zeng Ying said.

"If you are in chaos, you will kill whoever is in chaos. If you kill a million people, there will naturally be no one to cause trouble, let alone how to cause trouble? Yang has now fought Huishan and raised his arms in Wuxi City. If I don't need to do anything, those tenants and serfs will solve the gentry by themselves. So who do you think can cause trouble? Those gentry? Do they go out on the streets with muskets? Or will they organize students from various academies into army? Joke, they can't incite the people and they can't do anything. They do things? They don't even need the army to do trouble, and those people will tie them to Yang by themselves."

Yang Xin said.

Zeng Ying was speechless.

He knew that Yang Xin was right. Now the people's hearts in Wuxi are unstable, and a large number of poor people are connecting, so that the two battalions of the Changsheng Army have to stay in the city for alertness. This is also the main reason why the gentry can't hold on.

They were afraid that the people of Wuxi would take action without waiting for Yang Xin to attack Huishan.

"Horse Hejian, why bother with you?

If you want money, they can give you money. If you want land, they can share hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land for you. If you want them to pay taxes, they can agree to the gentry and pay the food together. As long as you no longer insist on dividing the land, everything else is easy to discuss.

It’s not good for you to divide the land.

You can't get any benefit from it.

On the contrary, they will force them to follow Xu Duxue and even turn themselves into the enemy of the world. The Marquis of Hejian is considered a master of power, so why do they have to act voluntarily? Even if you want to serve the people, you don’t need to divide the land and ask them to reduce the rent, they will not agree. Songjiang has reduced it a little, and they don’t have to hold on to the end.

After all, you have no grievances or grudges.

Even if someone assassinates you, it’s just his own actions. These gentry don’t know, so why do you have to do this?"

Zeng Ying said almost in a pleading tone.

Yang Xin sighed, then looked at the prefect Zeng with sincere eyes...

"No, I will divide their land. What will they do to me?"
Chapter completed!
