Spear impact.

Expert in cold weapon fighting.

Ranged weapons abandon bows and arrows, and all of them are changed to short guns that are fired by rotating wheels.

There are four such cavalry troops.

The commanders were headed by Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, Luo Yiguan and You Shiwei.

There are two other cavalry troops, which are Mongolian soldiers led by King Shunyi and King Shunchang respectively. They are also ancient archers, equivalent to the light cavalry in this army. They are mainly due to the help of these mercenaries who are not afraid of death, while they are working hard to exchange rewards for the court, which can help their tribe members overcome the famine.

This is the new version of the Twelve Armies of Apocalypse.

After the inspection, His Majesty the Emperor directly issued an imperial edict, promoted Lu Xiang to imperial envoy, and the governor of the army went south...

Of course not to ask for rebellion.

Instead, it is to allow the people of the Ming Dynasty to experience the great military power of the Ming Dynasty up close, and to allow these meritorious soldiers who have just returned from the battlefield to accept the cheers of the people from all over the country, but this has nothing to do with the current situation in the south.

Besides, the south is already peaceful.

The emperor had been pardoned, and the Datong Army could not wait to find Shang and Zhou Zuo to surrender. There was no Datong Army anymore. There was only the Zhejiang regiment training army under the amnesty edict and under the command of the Secretary of War of Nanjing. The original regiment training status of the Changsheng Army and other such as the Changsheng Army were restored. As for what Governor Yang was doing, that was not considered a rebellion, but Governor Yang did not understand some things, so he needed...

Need to be told.

"You want to be the emperor?"

Fang Congzhe said sadly.

He was sent by Tianqi to the emperor, and Yang Xin announced the Qing Dynasty and after the National War, he immediately sent Li Zhong's Zhejiang Front Army south, while he commanded the Nanjing army directly under him to quickly take down Hefei and, with the cooperation of Fengyang's servants, completed control of Fengyang.

There was no real battle during this period.

Those gentry surrendered simply, and it was meaningless for them to resist, and Yang Xin could not say victory at this time.

They just need to wait.

If the imperial army defeated Yang Xin, then their land would still be preserved. If the imperial army failed, they would not be able to resist. Moreover, the land would be lost to resist. Fengyang Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, Chuzhou, Hezhou, etc., those who were temporarily under Yang Xin's claws, all accepted the reality and then placed their hopes on the emperor. Lu Zhaoxiong continued to defend Yangzhou, Shang and Zhou Zuo commanded the troops to be on the eastern front, and Huguang and Jiangxi troops were also defending in Chizhou. Everyone was waiting, waiting for the emperor's army to arrive.

Yang Xin was still absent-minded. Except for going south and actually taking action, the other armies were still in a confrontation.

The main reason is that it is too troublesome to establish a local regime.

Because there is no real cadre team, he can only rely on those servants. Although Yang Xin has trained some in recent years, his ability is limited in the end, and he has to personally guide many things. However, Zhaoyi City has provided many local officials.

They are relatively experienced.

Then under this situation, the former cabinet chief Fang Congzhe arrived in Nanjing.

"Not interested!"

Yang Xin said very simply.

"Then what are you doing?"

Fang Congzhe said.

"If I say that from the year after year, the Ming Dynasty will continue for decades of famine, one-third of the counties are in a devastating natural disaster, and then the plague will kill nearly half of the people in the entire Northern Zhili, the capital will carry out thousands of dead bodies every day, and then hungry people from all over the country will eventually lose more than half of the population, would you believe it?"

Yang Xin said.

“What does that have to do with what you do?”

Fang Congzhe said.

His niece must have said this.

"It's very simple. I want this land, I want this grain-producing area to restore grain production, and restore Suhu to its maturity, instead of buying a large amount of grain from Jiangxi and Huguang every year."

Yang Xin said.

"that's all?"

Fang Congzhe said in surprise.

"Yes, that's it!"

Yang Xin said.

Fang Congzhe still looked at him in disbelief.

Obviously, this explanation made him feel a bit incredible.

"You can go back and report to Your Majesty. I am not interested in the Ming Dynasty, but I need to fight against the natural disasters next. When fighting against the natural disasters, I will take any means I think must be, including what I have done now. I have never thought of being an enemy with Your Majesty, but I will be an enemy with anyone who is blocking me from fighting this natural disaster.

No matter who it is.

Even if this person is the emperor.

But this is not a war between me and Your Majesty. I never thought of fighting with Your Majesty. This is a war between me and the gentry. If he helps the gentry, then I can only be an enemy of him. If he remains neutral, then I will not be an enemy of him.

Even if I win, he is still the emperor.

I only have this land for the time being, and even the taxes paid every year in the past, I will still give them to him.

The canal transportation will not stop either."

Yang Xin said.

"temporary?"

Fang Congzhe said vigilantly.

"Yes, for the time being, the future depends on whether I can deal with natural disasters. If not enough, I will continue to expand until enough. So whether I will continue to expand depends only on whether a large number of people will starve to death on the land controlled by the court.

If so.

If the court has no ability to solve the problem.

Then I will take over and I will solve it.”

Yang Xin said.

"Break the local tyrants and share the land?"

Fang Congzhe said.

"right!"

Yang Xin said.

"In other words, your troubles are not limited to Jiangnan?"

Fang Congzhe said.

"Yes, as long as people starve to death on a large scale appear, I will take over wherever there are people who starve to death. Since the officials and local gentry of the court are incapable of preventing the people from starving to death, I must go. I cannot watch the starved people pile up with gullies. In this process, whoever dares to stop me will regard whom I regard as an enemy."

Yang Xin said.

Of course he would not stop the canal transportation.

As soon as the canal transportation stopped, the capital was immediately hungry and killed everywhere.

Moreover, the capital will encounter earthquakes and large-scale floods this year. I don’t know if the big explosions in history will happen. It can be said that the capital will have to face the problem of food shortage this year. The Apocalypse is eager to solve this because the canal transportation cannot be affected.

Fortunately, the Liaodong war has ended.

The food supply there can be reduced because a hundred thousand troops heading south.

But even so, the grain prices in the capital have already started to surge, mainly because of the concerns that the merchants are about to cut off the canal transportation, and the Yang family has stopped transporting grain.

In fact, it had stopped. Mrs. Yang ordered all the forts in Tianjin to prepare for war, and all the stored grains were stopped to be transported to the capital. The rice price in the capital instantly exceeded 2 taels. Tianqi had issued an order to kill grain merchants in the capital who had hoarded the goods without mercy. However, his imperial edict would basically be regarded as farts, and Sun Chengzong had no choice. Most of these grain merchants were royal relatives, and he could not take the honorary group in the capital like Yang Xin.

Besides, the nobles can be treated, so how do those main gentry controlling food in various places do?
