Junshan, Jiangyin.

This hill has been transformed into a bastion, and it is not a temporary rammed earth fortress, but a brick-packed Yongbei fortress. All the original temples on Junshan were moved, trenches were dug up around and berths were piled up. It was not even the most common four-angle bastion at present.

But it is from five corners.

All the exterior walls are covered with bricks, and even some are made of cement, especially taking advantage of Junshan's height, there is even a second floor of prism. In fact, there is also a third floor. After all, although this hill is not big, it is more than fifty meters, but the third floor is very small, just a simple fort.

This is a real shore defense fortress.

Even the main cannon of Junshan Fort is not eighteen pounds but thirty-two pounds.

That is forty-two pounds.

This is the throat of the Yangtze River. The main channel of the Yangtze River is to the north of Jiangyin, and the river surface area is even south at this time, which means it is closer to Junshan. However, because Jingjiang is an island in the north, the actual width of the river surface is not as wide as that of modern times. The range of this 32-kilogram giant cannon can completely cover the entire river surface. All enemy ships trying to pass will be bombarded by such giant cannons.

In fact, it is not just Junshan. Yang Xin also built a series of Yongbei fortresses along the coast of Huangshan and other eastwards, and finally built a real iron wall in Jiangyin. At present, it is only limited by funds and has just completed the Junshan Fort, the most important for the loyal and brave army. At this time, there is no need to consider foreign invasion in the short term. In fact, looking at the surrounding and even the entire world, no one has the ability to attack here. The main task of the Jiangyin defender is to prevent the regiment from landing in Jiangyin and then heading south along the Xicheng Canal. Therefore, the Junshan Fort, which also controls and curbs the Xicheng Canal, is the top priority.

At this moment, this bastion is facing its first battle since its completion.

but……

The opponent is the Yangtze River Navy.

"Bold, do you want to rebel?"

The general who came to order the release was angrily scolded.

"General, we are the loyal and brave army, not controlled by the Nanjing Ministry of War, nor by the capital Ministry of War, nor by the Admiral Caojiang. Why do you let us go if you let us go?"

The loyal and brave army, Junshan, was the prefect of the imperial power, and Yang Shi, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the Fourth Army, said contemptuously.

He was born as a militia in Wuxi.

That is, the first batch of battalion commanders of the militia area established when Yang Xin first harmed Wuxi. When Yang Xin became Yang Feng, he joined the Red Turban Army as an officer. Later, Wuxi militia area was incorporated into Zhaoyi City as a whole. He naturally became a general of the Zhongyong Army and led a battalion to guard Junshan Fort, but he was also the reserve brigade commander. After the entire army of the Zhongyong Army was ready for the war, his subordinates quickly became a brigade.

The official position is Junshan Fort Beiyu, which was a local military officer in the Ming Dynasty, but the official position was very low, similar to the official who promoted the promotion in Macau.

It is incomparable to the general.

"A bastard, Xiong Deputy Xian has been appointed as the governor of Jiangnan by imperial edict, and all the troops in Jiangnan in the southern Zhili area are controlled by Xiong."

The general angrily said.

"Sorry, we only know that the current Governor Jiangnan military affairs are Hejian Hou. What happened to Xiong Deputy Xian has nothing to do with us. Before the Hejian Hou ordered us to accept Xiong Deputy Xian's control, let alone Xiong Deputy Xian, it would be useless even if the Minister of War comes. We only listen to the orders of Hejian Hou."

Yang Shi said very simply.

"Dare you dare to disobey the imperial edict?"

The general angrily said.

“Is the imperial edict sent to us?

You are also a very high-ranking official, why don’t you even understand the rules?

Even if the imperial edict appoints Deputy Xian as the governor, he has to complete the handover with Hejianhou first, and then send us an order there. We will naturally listen to it at that time. But before Deputy Xian and Hejianhou completed the handover, he was not considered taking over. The current governor Jiangnan military affairs are still Hejianhou. If Hejianhou did not order us to release it, we naturally could not release it.

Although I was a farmer who could not read a lot a few years ago, I have learned a lot over the years, and at least I still understand the rules of the court."

Yang Shi said proudly.

"How can we go to Wuxi if you don't let it go?"

The general said.

"That has nothing to do with us. Our responsibility is to guard this place. How can you go to Wuxi and it's all our business!"

Yang Shi said.

General Gan was so angry that his face turned blue.

He raised his hand and pointed at Yang Shi tremblingly. The latter looked at him with a pure face. Then the general stomped his feet hatefully and turned around and left with his personal soldiers. Yang Shi watched the boat he was riding on when he came to Huangtian Gate to return to the river.

At this time, hundreds of warships of all sizes and sizes gathered on the Yangtze River, and there were even many new gunboats. These were the naval camps that were originally affiliated to Deputy General Wusong and now under the command of General Jiangnan. They were all small cruisers with more than a dozen cannons of less than nine kilograms. However, most of them were still old ships of the Caojiang Navy, including a large number of centipede ships. Although there were many, their combat effectiveness...

"Rubbish!"

Yang Shi said contemptuously.

It was indeed garbage. Even the small cruiser in the Navy camp could not withstand his 32-pound cannon, even a shell.

The only one that can compete with these giant cannons is the six battleships of the Liangyang Navy, but the latter's 24-pound short and heavy cannons are also at a disadvantage in the face of these 32-pound long cannons. It can be said that so far, the Ming Dynasty has no cannons, and it can beat these super cannons in artillery battles. In fact, even Europe currently has no warships that can withstand its bombardment, and the battleships will be severely damaged if they take one shot.

"Brig Commander, are you really fighting?"

The deputy beside him said.

"If they dare to break through, we will fight!"

Yang Shi said.

"But this is the imperial army, this is not a group training!"

The deputy said carefully.

This nature is completely different. No matter how well-equipped the regiment training is, it is also a civilian armed force. At most, it is considered a civil conflict. Even the official nature of the regiment training is not as good as the Loyal and Brave Army. The Loyal and Brave Army is at least a regular army. But no matter how poor the equipment is, it is still a genuine official army. No matter what the reason, the offensive official army can be described as rebellion.

What's more, there is a governor's military affairs.

The result of the firing is that you will inevitably be put on a hat of rebellion.

"So what about the official army? Have we never fought the official army before? Remember, we are the soldiers of the Hejian Hou. Everything we have is given by the Hejian Hou, not other people. Whether it is the official army or the regiment training, as long as the Hejian Hou asked us to fight, we will fight, and we will only listen to the Hejian Hou.

Official army?

emperor?

Remember, the emperor will not really stand with us, all the emperor wants is money and food.

Only the Hejian Hou is truly standing with us. Now it is obvious that the emperor has begun to retreat. Since the emperor can retreat this time, if the Hejian Hou loses, the landlords will also retreat when the landlords counterattack and count. We cannot expect the emperor to help us protect our current good days. If we want to avoid being counterattacked by the landlords, we must stand with the Hejian Hou unswervingly. The enemy of the Hejian Hou is our enemy.

Everyone cheer up!

The emperor was frightened by the gentry and landlords.

Then we must also tell the emperor that gentry and landlords are not easy to provoke, and we are not easy to provoke. If the gentry and landlords are in a hurry, they dare to use force, and if we are in a hurry, they will also use force.

There are guns and cannons, who are we afraid of?"

Yang Shi said.

The soldiers around him were roaring excitedly.

They are not stupid. Since the emperor wants to replace the Hejian Hou, it means that the emperor retreats. If Xiong Mingyu takes over the military affairs of the Governor Jiangnan, Wuxi, which has just begun to divide the fields, will immediately retreat back to the past. Then the regiment trainers come back and return to the confrontation in the past. Xiong Mingyu will use various means to deal with the Zhongyong Army, and even order the official army and the regiment train to attack the Zhongyong Army together and take away their current good days.

These soldiers knew very well what the loyal and brave army was in the eyes of civil servants and gentry.

It's a thief.

And what is Zhaoyi City?

Even if you have to go through the thief area where you have to go through the three swords.

There is no other choice in this case. The gentry can use force to scare the emperor, and they can also use force to scare the emperor. If the gentry is anxious, they can create a Datong country. If the gentry is anxious, they will not dare to rebel.

There are guns and cannons, who is afraid of whom!

Just fight!

If the gentry dares to rebel, will the militia not dare?

And at this moment, the genius general also returned to the fleet on the river.

"This is really going to rebel."

Xiong Mingyu sneered.

"Power Xian, what should we do?"

Yang Zhaoji, the new Jiangnan general next to him, said.

He was also considered a veteran general in the army. The original Datong general was originally a deputy general in Jiangnan, who was stationed in Wusongkou. This time it was to deal with the new Datong army. Of course, it was just to deal with the Datong army. In fact, Sun Chengzong, the Minister of War, was a little helpless by Yang Xin, so he simply set up this general and led the official army to officially block Yang Xin.

"What should I do? Xiong wants to see if they really dare to rebel and immediately order the soldiers to land on the shore to occupy Huangtianzha!"

Xiong Mingyu said.

"Phoen Xian, if they fight back..."

Yang Zhaoji wanted to speak but stopped.

He also saw the current situation. The Governor Xiong seemed to have done it on purpose. They could continue to go south to Fushanpu in Fushan, and then transfer to Suzhou in small boats. From Suzhou to Taihu Lake, they could go north to Liangxi River to Wuxi. At the beginning, they didn't take a boat, but they went directly to Huzhou by land and then to Taihu north. As long as they bypass the Zhongyong Army controlled area, it would be easy to do, but Governor Xiong insisted on passing through the Zhongyong Army controlled area directly.

This is obviously a problem.

"Restorm? Restorm means rebellion. Don't General Yang want to kill the thief and make meritorious service?"

Xiong Mingyu said.

Yang Zhaoji quickly shut up.

He already understood that Governor Xiong did it on purpose.

"Go to control Huangtianzha immediately!"

He yelled immediately.

After saying that, he walked towards the rope ladder on the side of the ship.

"Really fight?"

The officer following him whispered.

"Can you beat someone?"

Yang Zhaoji said.

"Our cannon is like a toothpick compared to other people's."

The officer said sadly.

"It's enough to have the same meaning. They fight against gods and we mortals, and we mortals will suffer!"
