Fifty thousand taels of silver and fifty thousand stones of rice.

Actually, not much.

At least for the Hua family, which has a big family, it is still very cost-effective to use these to not search the house. His family collects 450,000 shi a year...

No more in the future.

Hua Yunyi was so sad and humiliated that he accepted the fate of the Hua family. With him, he took the lead in Wuxi and the other families could only pay silver and grain, so Yang Xin would not settle them. As for the land, just take it away. Fortunately, people like the Hua family no longer rely on land for a living, but the largest publisher family in the Ming Dynasty at present!

They are indeed unwilling to give up and do not want to lose their property.

But what can they do?

The most precious wealth of the Hua family is the piles of books, the printing industry's factories, and the sales channels in other places and even abroad.

With these, the Hua family is still aristocratic family.

Besides, the gentry of Wuxi is also tired. They and this traitor seem to have some bad fate. Since he started to harm Jiangnan, Wuxi has been shrouded in his shadow. The gentry of Wuxi has been resisting for almost six years. For six years, they have been fighting on the front line of Yang for six years, but they have only gained continuous failures. They are tired. Since Chen Tingyang and others abandoned them, they can just split their legs! Come on, hurry up, do whatever you want! We give up resisting, we let you destroy it!

Don't treat us as human beings!

Just as Yang Xinxin shook his hand with satisfaction and returned to Hengshan, the regiments and soldiers in Wuxi City retreated in disgrace.

And it was accompanied by the curses and howlings of the gentry in Wuxi as if they were bereaved and the laughter of the people in the city.

Yang Xin did not attack them.

He couldn't attack either.

These people boarded canal boats in Wuxi City and went south directly. They didn't even bother to take away the mountain of materials and didn't have time to destroy them. They just blew up the cannons that could not be moved away from the city wall. The defenders of Huishan Fort were very straightforward. They ignited the gunpowder depot directly and turned the bastion into ruins in the explosion.

As for the Chang Jie army stationed in Qingyang, Nanzha and other places, led by Xu Xiake, also blew up these bastions and retreated to Changshu.

Chen Tingyang and other troops retreated to Wangting.

It is said that there was a terror on their way to retreat, and there were even gentry who were willing to hinder themselves, but it was useless in the end, and the group trainees finally abandoned them.

The new resistance line is Wangting, and Wangting faces Caohu in the northeast, a series of wetland swamps from Mount Yu are natural barriers.

However, the modern Wangyu River cannot be considered an existence at this time. Suzhou is directly into the canal of Changshu, and then from Changshu to the north, Fushanpu finally enters the Yangtze River in Fushan. Therefore, the direction of Changshu is actually almost no danger to guard before reaching Changshu City, and even the Changshu gentry did not even build a bastion. They only had a Changshu city and the 3,000 regiments retreated to them to protect them. All of them were completely in panic. If Yang Xin, the demon, gave up going south along the canal and turned down the Yangtze River, they would be stunned at that time. Not only Changshu, but also in panic in Taicang, Jiading, Kunshan and other places behind them.

Fortunately, they were saved soon.

"Northern Expedition, clear the monarch's side?"

Yang Xin said in shock.

"Ma, I like this tune!"

Then he said speechlessly.

Xu Du joined the battlefield. Zhang Mingzhen led an army of 50,000 to conquer Jiande under the banner of the Northern Expedition to Qingjun. Zhejiang General Wang Liangxiang defeated Jiande in one fell swoop, and he and Governor Pan Ruzhen capsized on the way to escape to Hangzhou on a boat...

Well, they are in trouble.

"According to the information we have obtained, it should be that Pan Ruzhen took the lead in building a temple for the Nine Thousand Years, so he was regarded as a confidant of the Nine Thousand Years. He was unanimously hated by the gentry in Zhejiang. On the way to retreat, General Wang was deliberately hit and sunk by a regiment-trained ship. General Wang was purely a disaster. Moreover, the fall of Jiande was the gentry in the city, and the gentry in the city opened the city gate. Zhang Mingzhen's vanguard went directly to the city under the gentry's support at night. General Wang's troops were recruited in Zhejiang, and all of them were defeated and surrendered without any resistance."

Yang Huan said.

"They are all impatient!"

Governor Yang sighed.

Indeed, it can be seen that the gentry of Zhejiang is already impatient with the prosperous era of Datong.

At this time, it was actually half a month after the bandit army conquered Wuxi.

These days they have been staying in Wuxi.

At the same time, Yang Xin directly ordered the Zhongyong Army to cross the Xicheng Canal and take over the villages of Jiangyin and Wuxi counties to carry out land reforms in accordance with the Zhaoyi City. During this period, the landlords did not make much resistance. After all, even Xu Xiake escaped, so it was meaningless for them to resist.

The Xu family's land was also lost.

What's more, according to Yang Xin's rules, self-cultivated farmers and rich peasants will not be truly affected. The small landlords have manure tickets without compensation. At this time, the magical effect of bird droppings has long been rumored to be magical. This is equivalent to Governor Yang spending money to buy their land, and he is reluctant to leave, but resistance is impossible. If he does not resist, his property can be protected, but resistance can be lost. Even the Hua family has honestly handed over almost all the land. Are they even more losses than the Hua family?

In short, the acceptance was smooth across the country.

The entire army of loyal and brave troops had entered Wuxi and eastern Jiangyin to guard the borders of Changzhou Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture, leaving only Gu Ting as a protruding protrusion.

At this time, Gu Ting belonged to Wuxi.

Yang Xin kept staring in Wuxi on the excuse of waiting for replenishment of ammunition.

In addition, he actually needs rest.

Although the bandits won the battle, the total casualties of the battlefield were more than 1,000, with a total of only 12,500 people. The casualties were not small, and the soldiers were also very tired. In short, he found a lot of reasons to deliberately not leave. It was because he learned from Hua Yunyi that Zheng Zunqian had been here, and the two sides had reached an alliance, so he deliberately delayed the time and waited, leaving time for the regiments to join the Datong Army. If the regiments did not join the Datong Army, then he had to face a series of imperial edicts that prevented him from moving forward, and Sun Chengzong would also keep blocking him, but if the regiments joined the Datong Army, then there would be nothing wrong with his going south...

Even if it was forced by him.

"What should we do?"

Yang Huan asked his uncle carefully.

"What should I do? We are tired and exhausted, so we will continue to rest. What's more, it's the autumn harvest now. No matter what, wait for the autumn harvest to end. We have to set rules in the future and don't fight during the busy farming period!"

Yang Xin said.

Well, this reason is fair.

But what he is most concerned about now is the autumn harvest.

Because he had to transport more food to the north as much as possible in the future. This year, due to the drought in Hebei, the locust plague in Shandong, and the drought in Liaodong, the north was already seriously short of food, but the south was considered to have good weather and good harvests this year. However, Zhejiang's taxes could no longer be exported to the capital. If Susong and other places join Datong, they would not pay taxes to the capital again. Suzhou Prefecture is the largest tax warehouse in the Ming Dynasty.

He has to guarantee supply from the north.

Therefore, the autumn harvest must not be delayed. In order to ensure that the autumn harvest is better than fighting.

"In this case, Hangzhou will be out of protection."

Yang Huan reminded him.

"Then let them."

Governor Yang said as if nothing had happened.

"Governor!"

Sun Yingyuan suddenly walked in and saluted with a serious look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Xin asked.

"Governor, Jiangyin Guardian reported that Admiral Cao Jiang Xiong Mingyu led the navy to Jiangyin and asked the defenders to release the Xicheng Canal. In addition, they also have the new Jiangnan General Yang Zhaoji."

Sun Yingyuan said.

"What are they doing?"

Yang Xin asked.

"It is said that he is here to take over the command of the Ministry of War to replace the governor."

Sun Yingyuan said.

"Uh, take over me? The Ministry of War has the right to appoint the Governor's military affairs without an imperial edict?"

Yang Xin said in surprise.

"Uncle, the imperial edict has been here long ago."

Yang Huan reminded him carefully.

Well, there are indeed imperial edicts, and there are more than one. In fact, Yang Xin has received three imperial edicts so far. The first one is to ask him to return to Jiangxi, and the second one is to ask him to go to Jiangxi. The original Governor Jiangnan Military Affairs was changed to the Governor Jiangxi and Zhejiang Military Affairs. However, the Governor Cao Jiangdu Censor Xiong Mingyu was appointed as the Governor Jiangnan Military Affairs, and the veteran Yang Zhaoji was appointed as the General of Jiangnan, leading the official army to the south along the canal to reinforce Hangzhou, and the remaining bandits were under the Governor Jiangnan Military Affairs Command.

However, he didn't read the three imperial edicts, and ignored them directly if he didn't accept the orders of the king outside.

but……

He said it was wrong for others to have no imperial edict.

He came to take over his post according to the order of the Ministry of War. He ignored the imperial edict and refused to obey the imperial edict. He acted on the order and had a complete set of legal procedures. But now he was just staying there. Logically speaking, he should be ready to hand over the command at this time. Of course, this is obviously impossible. When Xiong Ming took over, he would definitely make trouble immediately.

"That's how it works!"

Yang Xin said, pulling his beard.

"Tell Jiangyin, don't let them in."

He said immediately.

He ignored it if he didn't see it. Of course, he didn't have to hand over the power if he didn't see it.

"Return to the governor, according to the report of the Jiangyin defender, Xiong Mingyu was tough and led nearly 10,000 troops, including some Huguang Army and Shandong Army. If they want to pass by forcibly, what should they do?"

Sun Yingyuan said carefully.

"Of course it's a fire. If Xiong Ming is not afraid of death, he will break through!"

Yang Xin said.

There is no accident at this time now, as for the consequences of doing so...

He has already issued three imperial edicts, and the Ministry of War has ignored a lot of orders. Do you still care about this?

Sun Yingyuan didn't dare to say anything else.

The artillery bombardment of the Governor Jiangnan, who had been appointed, was always so exciting. Governor Yang's actions were not his business. He was a subordinate of Governor Yang, so he only needed to listen to Governor Yang, so there was no need to worry about the rest.

Yang Huan didn't dare to say anything either.
