my days with tyrants

Chapter 371 Master Wang, Master Wang is settling in the north!

Gap River.

On the streets of the county town in the afternoon.

Yu Qi, the new county magistrate of Xiajiang, was riding a horse.

"So in such an important place, the imperial court actually only has one guarding thousands of households?"

He looked at Jin Yiwei Sun En beside him in somewhat shock.

Of course, both of them are in casual clothes now, and there is a carriage behind them. Inside the carriage is Yu Zhixian's newlywed wife.

The latter was looking at the shops outside curiously. Although she was wearing a Daming women's dress, her appearance was obviously exotic.

This is Ambassador Yang's adopted daughter.

It is said that it belonged to some city in the Western Regions, and the whole city was slaughtered by Timur. After the ambassador Yang took her back, he took her as a righteous daughter because of his pity.

There are many people like her in Mount Wutai. Ambassador Yang's adopted daughter is enough.

It is estimated that this western expedition can bring back more, after all, Ambassador Yang is well-known for his kindness and kindness.

As for the students of Wutai Mountain, after graduation, taking the Jinshi exam and getting a beautiful woman is just like when they are enlisted on the gold list at the wedding night in the bridal chamber, that life is also very exciting, and Ambassador Yang, the righteous daughters, have learned as much as they do. You must know the school in Wutai Mountain , In fact, it was taught to them at first, but this new type of education made the late emperor fancy, so he began to select bachelors from the guard.

Even at the beginning, many adopted daughters were the teachers of these new bachelors...

Ambassador Yang’s time is limited, and there are no other teachers for many things. These foster girls have at least studied systematically, so in the first schools in Wutai Mountain, little girls gave lectures one by one, and a group of male students older than her studied hard. Years are gradually gone, but there are still female teachers.

As for Yu Zhixian, of course he graduated from Wutai Mountain, but he is a scholar of agricultural science. Because the current county magistrate of Xiajiang has resigned, he was directly selected as the county magistrate by the official department. Here to replace the original county magistrate.Ordinarily, he should first go to the county government to be a magistrate or something, but I don’t know why he was directly elected as the county magistrate, but of course it is a good thing for him. Now the new imperial examination scholars like him are gradually replacing the old imperial examination officials.So many of the latter are disheartened, knowing that they don't have much future if they stay in their positions, and the current court is becoming more and more perverse, and various policies that make Confucian scholars beat their chests are constantly being implemented, and the old officials are also quite a bit Don't like the taste of being in the same boat.

Of course, the key point is that there is no future. After all, it is clear from this posture that even if they are promoted in the future, they will be promoted to those newcomers first.

Including Xiajiang's original county magistrate, who also left with his seal three days ago.

"It's just that a new fort was built upstream, and the original Yuanzhou garrison of thousands of households was transferred, but it's no big deal, the south is just self-protection, how can we attack the capital?
Not to mention here, even Nanchang is actually those two guards.

The elite of the imperial court are all in the north, and the new army is in the capital. Although there is a puppet dynasty in the south, it is nothing but self-protection. These guards are enough.

Just wait for the day when the army goes south and wipes out in one fell swoop. "

Sun En said.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this statement itself.

Everyone knows that even if Wang Bi is added to Jianwen's strength, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack the court...

The two sides are not at the same level at all.

There are only six new troops in the Guangjing Camp of the imperial court, and these are almost [-]. This is a new army, and the Jianwen Dynasty has only trained [-] so far.

In the north controlled by the imperial court, there are almost countless camel city cavalry, not to mention the old-style infantry. It can be said that with an order from the imperial court, millions of troops can go south, even in the water where the gap between the Jianwen Dynasty and the imperial court is the smallest. Teacher, that is at least twice the gap.Among them, the Fujian navy led by Zheng He is single-handedly, and it can also fight He Di decisively. In the north, there is also Qi Bin's Beiyang navy.

But precisely because they are permanently stationed in the Wa country, they can go south quickly at any time, because their base is in Nagasaki.

To be precise, it is at the Sasebo Naval Port.

Such a comparison of strength made the people in the court-controlled area almost convinced that the Jianwen Dynasty did not have the courage to attack northward.

They are just protecting themselves.

So not to mention Jiangxi, even Huguang is still the old guard, but it is slightly stronger than here. After all, there are many guards in Huguang, and there are guards in Guizhou nearby to support them.

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!"

Yu Qi sighed.

then……

"Master Wang, Master Wang, Master Wang, Beiding, Master Wang, Beiding!"

Suddenly there was a frenzied scream behind him.

He and Sun En turned their heads in astonishment, and looked at the city gate behind, where an old squire was standing there and howling like a convulsion.

Also raised his hands.

Then because he was too emotional, he shouted a little lack of oxygen, immediately shook, and then coughed violently.

Pedestrians on the road also looked at him in astonishment.

There was silence all around.

However, the next moment there was a sound like thunder, and everyone raised their heads to look at the clear sky above them.

"Master Wang, Master Wang, Beiding, Xu Qianhu has already surrendered, and the battleship Saijiang of Wang Shi's army is almost at the pier!"

Behind the old squire came a slightly smaller panting figure, howling with equal excitement.

Yu Qi and Sun En looked at each other in blank dismay, and then Yu Zhixian filed a complaint...

"Close the city gate immediately, I am the new magistrate!"

he growled.

Sun En and the others pulled out their short guns.

Before the people could react, they turned their horses and rushed straight to the city gate. At this time, a mighty fleet could be seen on the Ganjiang River outside the city. Hear what Yu Qi said.The coughing one finally finished coughing, just as the servant behind him arrived. It is really amazing that he ran faster than the servant. This old guy who is obviously very prestigious in the local area did not realize that Yu Qi was in Guancheng In fact, because Yu Qi's official dialect is quite different from the local one, the common people don't understand it much.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and prepare drums, firecrackers, incense, candles, wine and meat, and meet Master Wang at the pier. When Master Wang comes, the sky of Daming will be blue!"

exclaimed the old squire, assuming an air of talker.

Then Yu Qi suddenly appeared in his field of vision, he was startled and hurried to dodge, but because of his old age and exhaustion, he tripped over the crack of the stone slab under his feet and fell directly to the ground.

Yu Qi, who couldn't dodge in time, stepped on him directly.

"what!"

Yu Zhixian was also taken aback by his twitching and screaming.

At the same time, Sun En and others arrived behind. The latter had a short gun in one hand and a Jinyiwei waist badge in one hand. The other squire obviously knew this thing, turned around and ran out in fright.

"Master Wang, Master Wang, there are Jinyiwei in the city, go to another door!"

He ran and yelled.

The servants watched in bewilderment.

Sun En aimed at his back very simply, and then pulled the trigger.

In the sound of gunfire, the squire fell down, and Yu Qi, who had dismounted, was already closing the gate of the city. At this time, on the pier by the river, the first warship had already docked, and soldiers in half armor on board began to land. En closed the city gate without hesitation, and then looked back at the bewildered people together...

"Quickly, go and close all the city gates. I am the new county magistrate, and I am here to divide the land by order."

Yu Qi shouted.

Although there are some differences in language, many people still understand Mandarin after all.

"Hurry up, the new county lord is here, let's listen to the county lord."

Immediately someone continued to shout.

Then accompanied by chaotic shouts, those people finally realized that although it is a bit far away to divide the land at this time, it is definitely not acceptable to attach rebellion. They don’t understand other things, but at least it is wrong to attach rebellion. All kinds of benevolent government and ordinary people also understand that there are fewer and fewer corrupt officials. Although the main reason is that there are fewer and fewer officials, the taxes of the court are indeed less and less, especially in places like Jiangxi where there is ample food and clothing. The grain output will be high, and the new fertilizer will be even higher.

As long as there is less taxation and less exploitation by the gentry, it is inevitable to have enough food and clothing.

This is not after the population boom in the late Ming Dynasty. Now the country has a total population of more than 6000 million, and ordinary people don't have to reclaim those thin land.

It's all good.

Even now that corvee has been abolished, this alone is enough for the common people to be grateful.

For this imperial court, although Confucian scholars and landlords gritted their teeth with hatred, the common people really regarded it as the Holy Lord and Mingjun.

Although Shengzhu Mingjun has just learned to walk, he still has to wear diapers.

"I can't keep it."

Looking at the people in the chaos, Sun En said very simply.

"It's enough to delay for half a day. At this time, there must be a ship to report to Nanchang. We only need to delay for half a day, which is enough for Nanchang to prepare in advance."

Yu Qi said.

After finishing speaking, he rushed directly to the city wall, and then Sun En and others also went up to the city wall with short guns. Behind him, the magistrate's wife walked out of the carriage with a flintlock semi-long gun, and followed her up with a skirt in one hand, and a long gun next to her. Also carrying a small bag.At this time, the soldiers outside were already approaching the gate of the city, and the previous gunshots did not affect them too much. After all, they knew very well that there was no garrison here, and the only garrison was the guarding Qianhusuo, but the latter was already in Qianhu. Under the leadership of Hu Hu, he surrendered directly.

"beat!"

Yu Qi, who was lying on the female wall, shouted.

Immediately after he, Sun En and others pulled the trigger, the two enemy soldiers fell immediately.

The rest immediately woke up, and they all searched for cover as quickly as possible, while Mrs. Zhixian was lying on the parapet holding the half-length gun and aiming outward.

An enemy officer outside was yelling at his men to attack.

The magistrate's wife simply pulled the trigger, and with the sound of gunfire, the officer who was more than 100 steps away fell down.

After finishing the shot, she quickly retracted to the parapet, and under Sun En's astonished gaze, she took out the bullets wrapped in buckskin and began to reload slowly.

Well, she's a rifled gun.

Yu Qi and Sun En quickly continued to fire.

However, they have a total of ten or so short guns, and they will definitely not be able to stop the enemy. Although the latter is only a forward, they are well-equipped. Throw the hook on and prepare to climb up.But the magistrate's wife, who had finished loading, walked over quietly with her rifled gun in her hand, took out a grenade from her small bag, pulled out the safety cover skillfully, stretched her hand out over the parapet, and then let go of it. hand...

"boom!"

In the explosion of the grenade, the enemy troops who had climbed halfway fell down one after another.

Then she took out another one, stood up abruptly, and threw it directly at the enemy soldiers who were looking back in panic.

Many people fell in the explosion of the grenade.

She retracted as fast as the bullets roared, then lay down on the perforation, aimed at another officer and pulled the trigger.

At this time in the city, some young and strong men had already rushed towards the city wall with various weapons, especially bows and crossbows. There were many folk weapons, and the local mountain people had the habit of hunting, so it was easy to become armed in a short time.

On the Gan River outside the city.

"I just know, I know that Huang Zicheng's words cannot be trusted, and he still eats pots of milk. Before he even got out of the Xiajiang River, people resisted."

Hua Rong said melancholy on the deck holding the binoculars.

"What do these literati know? They don't look at the current situation in the world. Yang Feng and Yan Wang have already traveled thousands of miles to foreign lands. Are they not capable of attacking Guangzhou? They don't bother to fight at all. They rob money and women from the Western Regions." Well, which one came back last time not riding a high-headed horse, hugging beautiful women from the Western Regions, and carrying bags of gold and silver? After all, fighting Guangzhou is his own family business. Yang Feng still has to lose face, and he can't burn, kill and loot. In the family's country, there is no need to worry about this kind of thing.

They are the literati who lie to themselves.

Return Wang Shibeiding?
[-] imperial camps going to attack the capital?

Even if Yang Feng takes away two armies, there are still four armies in the capital!

Even if Wang Bi can get there, he may not be able to win, let alone Wang Bi does not know whether he will be able to pass Wuchang. "

The confidant next to him said.

In fact, these generals are very aware of the gap between the two sides. These are all in the guard system, and the guards in the imperial court control area are all relatives and old friends. The imperial court does not restrict exchanges. Still, what is the area controlled by the imperial court, what is the area controlled by the imperial court in Guangzhou is actually clear.The Jianwen Dynasty was nothing more than three and a half provinces. It would be a joke if they wanted to return to the capital with such a small amount of land and population. So what if the gentry from all over the country boasted about it?
Could it be that those Confucian scholars and gentry in the local area can still decide who will be the emperor?

With this ability, they would not be trampled and rubbed with their faces by Emperor Gao of Taizu.

They are just talkative bastards, but they are scumbags when they actually do it. When is it Da Ming's turn to call the shots?

"No matter what they think, let them do whatever they want, let's not be too prominent, do what they say honestly, and don't do things that cause hatred. No matter what, there will be room for it. Hurry up and send someone to report Our governor of military affairs, will he go directly to Nanchang, or stay and continue to attack?"

Huarong said.

They followed Jianwen Dynasty because of their wealth from overseas trade, not because of any loyalty to Jianwen.

The civil officials danced happily in the front, and they made a fortune silently in the back. In the future, the civil officials will take the blame when they lose, so they honestly let the civil officials call the shots.

"What else will he do, of course stay and continue to attack.

It is said that the gentry from all over the world eat pots and pulp, and the army marched down. Now they are beaten in the face by a small county. Even if it is for face, they must be beaten first, otherwise the army will be humiliated after passing the first level , How can you brag about Tanshihu pulp in the future? "

The confidant said with a smile.

Huarong couldn't help laughing too.
