Ming Zuo

Chapter 708
Qingpu Town.

What used to be a famous town in the southeast has now become a hell on earth.

Countless corpses were hoisted high and exposed to the sun on the earth, so that God couldn't bear to look directly at them and hid behind the dark clouds.

Xu Erxuan stood excitedly and crazily on the high platform, shouting like a demon descending into the world.

"Open your eyes and take a good look. You don't know the superiority and inferiority, you don't want to keep your business at ease, you seek ill-gotten gains, and you join forces with thieves to make trouble. That's how it ends. It is not enough to punish the evil, and if some people are obsessed with obsession, these traitors will end up."

Around the square, the army surrounded, like a forest of knives and guns, staring at each other.

In the square, all the local people in Qingpu were gathered together to watch the execution by the government.

Local merchants and common people engaged in industrial textiles in Qingpu were all arrested by Fang Yuegong's heavy troops, and all their wealth was confiscated.

The arrested innocent merchants and civilians were all escorted here, and those who were beheaded or hanged were hanged, regardless of men, women, old or young.

For a time, blood flowed like a river in Qingpu Town, filled with fishy smell.

The gentry landlords and court officials sitting on the high platform were all very proud, as if they had won a great victory.

The Qingpu people who witnessed the massacre all cried loudly, and their eyes of hatred were always fixed on these demons.

Although they dare not speak out, the seeds of hatred have been planted.

But the counterattacking landlords and gentry didn't care about these.

They only thought that once the new flames were extinguished, they would be able to dominate the world again.

Fang Yuegong, an upright official who was originally praised by all people, has now turned into the cruelest executioner.

"Scholars, farmers, and businessmen have been discussed since ancient times; people are divided into high and low, and they keep their own safety. Although you don't understand the way of sages, you must not think about it. From now on, farming and weaving, and family business, will not be confused. My heart has lost its duty. The law of the country is brilliant, and the power of the sky is terrifying. I am here to remember, and I must not offend."

The merchants and common people in Qingpu Town did not get the information in time because they were too far away from Songjiang Mansion.As a result, Fang Yuegong, Xu Erxuan and others suddenly attacked, so that they were poisoned.

After completing the massacre, Fang Yuegong, Xu Erxuan and others did not give up, and once again sent a letter to Zhu Guobi who was on the way, urging him to march quickly.

In order to wipe out the emerging industrial and commercial forces, these feudal classes cannot wait for a moment.

Just when Songjiang Mansion was in turmoil, the news finally reached Shandong.

"Everything is carried out according to the established plan, and the Navy and Marine Corps are ordered to leave immediately."

The preparations had been made long ago, so Zuo Menggeng immediately gave the order when he got the news.

"Father and the family will be all right?"

Knowing the situation in Songjiang Mansion, Xu Ruolin was very worried.

She had just lost her grandfather, and what she was most afraid of was that something bad happened to her natal family.

Zuo Menggeng hurriedly said in relief: "Songjiang Mansion has been arranged for a long time, and now it has occupied the city, and has also planned Jinshanwei. Anyway, nothing will happen for a while. The imperial army in the south of the Yangtze River is rotten, and I am afraid that Songjiang Mansion has not been broken. Ability. If we go here at the same time, we will definitely be able to make it in time."

Xu Ruolin helped Zuo Menggeng sort out the items for the expedition.

"At the end of the war, will the imperial court go to war in an all-out way?"

Zuo Menggeng was full of confidence.

"Even if Chongzhen wants to go to war, he must have the ability to do so."

This time going south to Songjiang, Zuo Menggeng decided to lead the army himself.

It's not that his hands are itchy, but that Songjiang Mansion is very important.

It is not difficult to protect the safety of Songjiang Mansion.

What is difficult is the follow-up planning and the game with the imperial court.

There are many major events, and the generals in the army have no way to decide.

Only when he, the commander-in-chief, comes in person can he make a decision faster.

Not only him, but also Chen Zhi and Zuo Maodi.

These two were going to take over Songjiang Mansion.

This time Shandong has decided to include Songjiang Mansion into its territory.

But the Songjiang Mansion is isolated and very important, and it is necessary to send important officials to sit in the town.

After deliberation, Chen Zhi and Zuo Maodi became the suitable candidates.

The Anshan Lake Industrial Zone, which Zuo Maodi was originally in charge of, was replaced by Qi Biaojia.

The three of Zuo Menggeng set off from Jinan and rushed all the way to Qingdao, the army had already completed the preparations.

All kinds of materials are piled up on the cargo ship, enough for a large-scale battle.

With the arrival of Zuo Menggeng, the marines began to board the ship.

The first wave to follow the navy was the first regiment of the first marine division.

No way, the First Marine Division has too many troops.

There are more than [-] people, and there is no way to invest in Songjiang Mansion at one time only by relying on the current naval capacity.

Just the [-] people and equipment of the first regiment already filled all the cargo ships.

Although there is only one regiment, the new army is full of confidence.

Over the past few years, the military situation of Daming in the south of the Yangtze River has been completely turned upside down by Shandong.

In Zuo Yong's words, this regiment alone is enough to capture the entire Jiangnan.

Of course.

This is only from a military point of view, being able to fight down does not mean that it can be completely occupied.

After all, Jiangnan has a vast area and many cities. Although only one regiment can capture the cities, it cannot completely occupy them.

With this regiment, Songjiang Mansion can be assured of no worries.

As for the follow-up plan, it can be slowly unfolded.

Looking at the overwhelming sailboats in the harbor, Zuo Menggeng was full of pride.

"lets go."

The messenger issued the semaphore, and the bells on the shore immediately rang continuously.

Countless people stopped what they were doing, rushed to the shore, and kept waving at the slowly setting sail fleet.

Everyone had excited smiles on their faces.

Just because everyone knows that every expedition of the new army brings victory.

With one victory after another, who would worry?
On the shore, Hou Xun, Huang Zongxi and others saw the fleet off.

"Zhongheng must remember that the purpose of this battle is only for the Songjiang Mansion, and it must not be expanded. Otherwise, the court will lose face and lose its mind. This is not in our interest."

Zuo Menggeng returned the gift.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ruogu, after this battle, the Songjiang Mansion will belong to Shandong."

Seeing hundreds of warships meandering out of the port, covering the entire sea, everyone in Shandong was deeply moved.

At that time, which country in the world could withstand such a huge fleet?
This expedition was the furthest place Zuo Menggeng led his army to reach, and it was still by sea.

Zuo Menggeng was very excited to visit the sea of ​​this era.

He just stood on the podium, looked around with a telescope, and was happy to see everything.

He doesn't care even if it's cold and windy.

And such a cold wind makes the navy even happier.

"Now it's the north wind, and the boat can take advantage of the wind to travel faster than before. It only takes about ten days for us to arrive at Songjiang."

As the fleet commander, Zuo Hua made accurate calculations.

He felt more and more that Shandong was really the place to be.

Otherwise, why can the timing, location, and people be harmonious every time you go out?
