my days with tyrants

Chapter 303 Got it, don't want uncle!
I have to say that these old guys are very decisive.

But in the end they didn't suffer.

Use a life that doesn't live for many years to exchange for the guarantee of wealth and prosperity for future generations.

Attached to the Xiaoling Mausoleum, with the Taimiao.

These two items alone basically determine that their descendants have to live with the country. This is the top treatment for the founding fathers of all dynasties. The descendants of future generations will basically be fine unless they rebel. It won't stop either.This is better than the iron coupon that is comparable to a life-saving talisman. The iron coupon has a life-saving number of times, and it will be invalid after three times.

But burial in the Xiaoling Mausoleum and access to the Taimiao are permanent guarantees for future generations.

It's not necessarily life-saving.

But the baronial title.

As long as his descendants do not participate in rebellion or the like, the title will continue to be passed on.

Rest with the country.

Of course, the more important thing is that Yang Feng's intervention made them understand that their era has passed, and now is no longer the era for veterans like them to rule the world. No matter whether they have ambitions or not, they should withdraw obediently.

Sizhou.

"Does Marquis Changxing count?"

Yang Feng looked curiously at Geng Bingwen who was waiting to meet them at the bridgehead.

"Well, it's hard to say.

Ordinarily he should be regarded as the second generation. His father, Geng Junyong, crossed the river with Emperor Daxing. Later, when he fought with Zhang Shicheng, he died in Yixing. But in terms of age, he is indeed an old minister. In fact, he was the one who had fought with the Emperor Daxing for the rest of his life.

But to say that he is a brother with Emperor Daxing, he is indeed not qualified.

His father is. "

The commander of the Shenji Battalion who was in charge of guarding them said quickly.

"let it go!"

said the little princess.

There are standards for these veterans who need to die.

Must be first generation.

That is to say, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang to raise troops, or defected with deployment, or surrendered during the period. As for Lan Yu, he can still be regarded as the first generation. What's more, the king of Shu married his daughter, and Zhu Yuanzhang and him were still in-laws.

This confirms that it belongs to the same generation.

Geng Bingwen was succeeding his father, and his father Geng Junyong was one of the 24 generals in Huaixi.

It's just that he's older.

They walked across the Sizhou floating bridge in this way, and then saw Geng Bingwen walking forward with a solemn face.

"The old minister respectfully welcomes the princess. The old minister has followed the Emperor Daxing for more than forty years. Now that the Emperor Daxing has ascended to heaven, the old minister asks himself to accompany him through death."

He held up the memorial with both hands and said.

"Uh, Changxing Hou Zhen is also a loyal minister!"

Yang Feng said with emotion.

This old guy is very sensible.

Now anyone who is sober-minded already understands who will be the ultimate winner when he appears next to the little princess. It goes without saying that even if the queen does not give birth to a son, the throne will not be in Zhu Yunqi's hands.After all, everyone knows how the emperor died, and Yang Feng and the little princess will definitely not let Zhu Yunqi succeed to the throne. Even if they don't disclose the truth, they will use other excuses.As for the throne, it would be a big deal for the king of Yan, and even the queen would adopt one from the clan and inherit the throne as the emperor's stepson.

Anyway, they are all from the Zhu family.

Then you have to make a list of what happened before.

He has complied with the edict of the supervisor and recognized Zhu Yunqi's status as a supervisor. After all, he would be on the blacklist, but now he is posing as a loyal minister, abandoning his old life for not many years, and the glory of future generations Wealth is preserved.

He is 65 this year, and he lived a little over four years in history.

Totally worth it.

"Marquis Changxing is loyal to Emperor Daxing, please accept Hanshan's worship."

The little princess quickly saluted him.

"The princess beats the veteran, and it is the honor of the veteran to be loyal to the Emperor Daxing."

Geng Bingwen said.

After speaking, he took out the short blunderbuss that he had prepared earlier, bowed five times and knocked three times in the direction of the capital, then knelt there and raised the short blunderbuss, and shot directly at his temple, another Marquis fell down with the sound of the gunshot. Down.

Yang Feng looked at the soldiers standing in front of him with emotion.

The latter also looked at him.

These are mainly the commanders and envoys of the Shandong capital.

Zhou Dexing and Geng Bingwen are in charge of Beiping and Shandong respectively, but Zhou Dexing is the commander in chief, and will reconcile the kings after going south, but they are all in Fengyang, stationed on the north bank of the Huaihe River, Lan Yu personally led the army to station in Fengyang, the two sides are separated by the Huaihe River confrontation.Geng Bingwen led this partisan army, planning to cross the river from Sizhou and encircle Lanyu with Cao Zhen and others, but he didn't expect Chen Huan to block Xuyi, so Zhou Dexing didn't dare to cross the river rashly.After all, this means that the group of Cao Zhen and Chen Huan may not really be with Zhu Yunqi, and there is a possibility of colluding with Lan Yu. If so, Zhou Dexing crossed the river rashly to attack Fengyang, and Cao Zhen suddenly turned against him, then they would be finished.

So it's confrontation.

Besides, this is the only way to maximize their interests, forcing Zhu Yunqi and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang gentry behind him to continue to spend money, really destroying Lanyu, but losing the bargaining chip for blackmail.

understand.

Yang Feng waved back.

Then a four-wheeled carriage moved forward.

He opened the car door, and then moved out a wooden box from inside, and then opened it, and there was a silver reflection inside.

"Each person receives ten silver coins, and then returns to the guard."

He said.

At present, the rated exchange rate is one silver coin, that is, a large silver coin weighing one tael, which is worth four pieces of precious banknotes, and the precious banknotes always buy brown rice for one stone.One is the Japanese country and Liaodong, where silver is continuously produced, especially the Japanese country. The second is that the forced foreign exchange settlement also allows overseas silver to enter the bank.Moreover, no matter the printing technology or watermark and color-changing ink, the new treasure banknotes have eliminated counterfeit banknotes to the greatest extent. At present, counterfeit banknotes only conquer watermarks and printing, but color-changing inks have not been solved.

All these guarantee the firmness of the banknotes.

Of course, it still cannot support complete free exchange.

Still a small amount.

If the amount is large, you have to be prepared to go to prison.

However, the deposits in the Jingcheng Bank are still enough to support Yang Feng's reward. After all, if you want these soldiers to disperse like this, you have to give them the most impactful benefits.

Ten taels of silver per person.

Forty Shimi is almost equivalent to the income of these military households for more than two years.

In this way, following Geng Bingwen's suicide and Yang Feng's silver bullet, the northern army withdrew directly, and returned to their respective guards, no longer participating in this war, but this is only for this route, and other routes have different rewards ...

Mainly because he doesn't have that much either.

Carriages with silver coins came forward one after another, and [-] soldiers from the Shandong Guards lined up to collect the silver. After receiving the silver, they walked away happily. To be repaid with interest.What's more, there are still people who can steal their homes. Those gentry who follow Zhu Yunqi count as one. They just cheered to get rid of Zhu Yuanzhang's shadow, but they didn't expect the second wave to come.

After dividing the money, Yang Feng and the little princess walked back to Xuyi on the pontoon bridge, and then went straight to Fengyang.

Before they arrived in Fengyang, they got the news of Zhu Yunqi's withdrawal.

The latter refused to enter the city.

Just sent his brother's coffin into the city.

Anyway, it's useless for him to keep the coffin, and the Zhu Yunxi inside is not smelly, mainly because they have done some embalming treatment in advance, but it will indeed stink if it drags on.And even if they are sent to the city, they have to be sent to the ice cellar, and it will not be his turn until Zhu Yuanzhang's funeral is finished.

Emperor Chengguang of the Ming Dynasty reigned for seven months and five days in total, but he actually ruled for more than three years.

Not a lot.

After all, there was still a month left in the original history.

He was ambitious and prepared to create a truly prosperous world himself, but he finally fell into the hands of his own brother.

Unpaid ambitions!
He is a good emperor.

There is nothing wrong with it other than being a little irritable.

Because he has been influenced by modern thought for a long time, he doesn't like to kill indiscriminately, and he pays attention to the law in everything he does. Even if the law he adopts is actually a big patent, he emphasizes the economy, encourages industry and commerce, continues his grandfather's principles for farmers, and reduces taxes as much as possible. There is no good face.

It can be said that he is an emperor who is as close to modern thinking as possible in all aspects.

however……

This is also the root of his tragedy.

A person who has surpassed the times, unless he has Yang Feng's ability to cheat, otherwise he must not be able to live in the times.

sorrow.

And Zhu Yunqi led his supervisory court to retreat to Suzhou.

It is estimated that they still want to stick to Suzhou.

This is purely wishful thinking, and the Suzhou gentry would sell him without hesitation.

"However, if they betray Yun Wen, we won't be able to raid the house."

said the little princess.

The two of them are now walking in the small village that Yang Feng passed by when he went north that year, and the Lizheng is still there, leading the people in the village to salute the carriage of Her Highness the Princess on the side of the road.Yang Feng raised his hand towards them, but it can be seen that their lives have improved a lot, and the proportion of patches on their clothes is much less than last time.Although there are indeed frequent disasters along the Huaihe River, the population is small at this time, and those who can live are definitely the most suitable. In addition, it is close to the capital, and various new technologies have also spread here, so changes are inevitable.

After all, this is a thriving empire.

This is the real classical prosperity, not the sweet potato prosperity like Ma Ge.

It is said that the first batch of sweet potatoes in Ming Dynasty are still in the specially opened plantation in the imperial city, and according to the plan, the seedlings will be cut and transplanted in a few days.

"We ransacked the house if we wanted to, ransacked the house if there was a reason, and ransacked the house if there was no reason to make up a reason."

Yang Feng said.

"I like you just the way you are."

The little princess said happily.

"Ambassador, Your Highness, a fleet of warships is coming to fetch us."

The conductor reported from outside the carriage.

Yang Feng raised his binoculars and looked at the warships on the Huaihe River in the distance...

"Whose warship is this?"

he asked.

"It's hard to say, there are warships on both sides. Liang Guogong controlled the naval warships under the jurisdiction of Fengyang's left-behind division in Fengyang. Jiang Xiahou and Qin Wang and others had naval forces from the Huaiyang area to reinforce them. The two of them The domestic navy did occasionally fight on the Huaihe River.

As for these..."

The commander looked at the figure of a general on board and said.

Yang Feng then handed him the high power mirror.

He quickly took it, and under Yang Feng's guidance, he used this thing to quickly lock the target...

"Huaiyang's boat, this is the commander of Dahewei. They are sending out a signal to let us go to the pier."

He said.

After finishing speaking, return the high power lens to Yang Feng.

"This is the princess. There is no reason for us to go to the pier. Let them dock and come to pay their respects."

Yang Feng said.

The commander looked at the soldiers around him, and the latter immediately raised the signal flag and waved it towards the warships, but the latter quickly replied with a semaphore, asking them to go to the pier, saying that King Qin came to welcome his aunt, and asked the little princess to come to the pier to meet her. See, there are other important matters to discuss, the little princess asked Yang Feng suspiciously, Yang Feng just sneered.

"Tell them we'll be there."

Yang Feng said.

Then he looked at the little princess...

"Get in your armored car."

He said.

The latter did not talk nonsense. Under the suspicious eyes of the commander, she hurriedly got into her armored vehicle. In fact, it was a special carriage with four horses pulling a small carriage. It is covered with steel plates, and the inside is thickly lined with raw silk.Bullets would definitely not be able to penetrate, and light artillery would not be able to penetrate unless they were directly in front of them, and rapid-fire guns would not be able to penetrate even if they were fired directly at close range.

"Are you afraid they will bombard us? Impossible, I am a princess, how dare they?"

The little princess said suspiciously.

"Isn't it, just look at it."

Yang Feng said.

Then they sailed to the pier.

At this time, those battleships began to dock.

This is on the Huaihe River. Of course, it is impossible to have a large battleship, that is, a centipede boat with oars, but there is a fort on the ship, usually in the middle, and then the rapid-fire guns are arranged on the fort. There may be two large ones, but these are all It is a single fort.A total of six warships were waiting at the pier and the river behind, and on one of the warships in the middle, a young man wearing a dragon robe stood there.

"Is it King Qin?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Like, I haven't seen him for almost ten years, how can I recognize him so accurately."

said the little princess.

Yang Feng motioned for the carriage to stop, and then walked straight ahead. He soon stood on the pier, with his hands behind his back in a pretentious manner...

"Your Excellency is King Qin, why didn't you come down to say hello to your uncle after seeing you?"

He said.

The tuanlongpao took a deep look at this guy...

"When did the ambassador marry the Fourteenth Aunt?"

He said.

"We're not married yet, but we're already husband and wife."

Yang Feng said.

"That's a private partnership? According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if you are like your Excellency, my Zhu family will kill you."

Tuanlongpao said.

"Understood, no uncle!"

Yang Feng said.

The next moment, all the guns and muzzles of the warships in front of him sprayed flames at him at the same time, and the howling shells and bullets, accompanied by the scream of the little princess, slammed into Yang Feng instantly.But the latter didn't know when, a small shield was added in his hand, and he bowed his head to protect it in front of him with a lunge. A shell hit the shield, and he slammed backwards in the splash of sparks.

Another shell landed on him, and he slid back as well.

As for the other shells...

None hit.

The gunfire stopped.

Yang Feng maintained that posture, poking his head out from behind the one-centimeter-thick steel shield...
