my days with tyrants

Just when Hua Ying led the Humen garrison and even a large number of volunteers...

Of course there are volunteers!

The He family is truly as wealthy as the country.

Even without the huge income from controlling maritime trade over the years, Guang Hezhen had already accumulated huge wealth when he controlled Guangdong, and then voluntarily surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Not only did his wealth not be lost, but it increased a lot. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang could do anything to the He family. It's said to be a blessing.

It can be said that the He family has been the first family in Guangdong for more than 40 years.

My hometown in Dongguan is really a treasure trove of gold and silver!
Now that there was an opportunity to raid their homes, of course everyone jumped at it.

Humen garrison.

businessman.

Even the sailors on the Centipede ship joined in.

Everyone is a righteous citizen anyway, and they hate this kind of traitorous leader. Now is the time to fight for the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone strives to be the first.

At the same time, the ruler landed in Humen and boarded the Humen Fort. Then, obviously having a trance, he sent someone to send a letter to Jianwen in Guangzhou, not as the ruler of the court, but as an aunt to persuade his nephew to stop messing around. , Hurry up and wait for the crime.As an aunt, she promised that she would not be really convicted, and as the queen's biological uncle, she would also be named King of Wu. However, now the vassal king would either expand abroad or live in the capital, so he definitely could not go to Suzhou to become a vassal.But no matter where he goes, he will get the title of feudal king. After all, everyone is a family. He was bewitched by the traitor and made the mistake.

As for regicide...

Everyone knows that the late emperor was obviously killed by Fang Xiaoru.

In short, it definitely has nothing to do with him.

Anyway, Fang Xiaoru was dead, so there was no way he could crawl out and testify against him.

In fact, the imperial court in the capital never said that Jianwen was the mastermind of the regicide case. After all, for the little princess, this nephew was familiar to her since she was a child, and killing her brother with her brother did bring disgrace to the royal family. This can be said to be very important, regardless of Regardless of folk rumors, at least the court did not officially say that King Guangze committed regicide.

It was all done by Fang Xiaoru.

As for King Guangze, he only had a bad mind and was deceived by those treacherous ministers.

Anyway, he didn't kill his brother.

There is nothing wrong with simply grabbing the throne, it has happened since ancient times.

But fratricide...

Well, sibling cannibalism is actually not uncommon.

but……

After all, you still have to maintain your face.

As for Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and other treacherous officials, they can only kill the nine tribes.

Guangzhou.

Jianwen Palace Chengtian Hall.

"Yang Feng, hasn't he come back yet?"

He Rong, the right governor of the Dudu Mansion, who has been promoted to Duke of Yue, said doubtfully.

He didn't know that Huaying had gone to Dongguan to raid his hometown.

But Dongguan is now an ancestral home.

As the current number two figure in the Jianwen Dynasty's military, He Rong has long been living in the capital...

Of course, it is Chengtian Capital.

"It's probably the face head raised by the princess. Yang Feng entered Jiayuguan just a month ago. This was reported to Duke Wei by the guard of Jiayuguan. The news is conclusive. When those around Wei Guogong learned about it, we quickly sent it to Dingyuan County Prince No matter how fast Yang Feng is, he will not be able to get from Jiayuguan to Guangzhou in a month. Even if the horse is changed at the post station, it is not that fast. However, the face is always following the princess, making the people ignorant, or the princess is using him to pretend to be Yang Feng to bluff .

After all, she is just an army.

Even though Hua Ying acted as an internal agent and was able to raid and occupy Humen, he ultimately went deep alone, so he was just using Yang Feng's banner to scare people.

Your Majesty, it is better to take advantage of the unstable foothold, mobilize the soldiers and horses in the city, and immediately counterattack Humen. "

Qitai, the elder Ge who stayed behind, said.

Huang Zicheng is still on the front line of the capital, led by Qi Tai of course.

In addition, they are all Cantonese, such as Lian Zining's good friend and former deputy censor Huang Ziping. This one is a Dianbai man. He, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng formed the cabinet, but they were both academicians and ministers, and Qi Tai's official department. Huang Zicheng was in the Ministry of War, Huang Ziping was in the Ministry of Households, and then Lin Xun, who was from Chaoyang, was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Hongwu's reign, but after that he had always been at home in the name of filial piety. He was from Guangzhou, where he was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Hongwu's reign, and the Ministry of Works was given to Guangxi After all, everyone still needs to be united.However, due to Jianwen's opening of Enke, a large number of scholars from Jiangxi, Huguang and Guangxi came in, especially from Jiangxi. Now nearly one-third of the middle and lower-level officials are from Ji'an, which made the Cantonese people quite angry.But there is nothing you can do about it. This is how it is in this era. As long as you are taking the Confucian test, you have to endure the fact that Zhili, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Fujian are crushing others.Because the Jianwen court only had Ji'an among the four provinces, and Ji'an was also the leader in imperial examinations alongside Nanchang in Jiangxi, it was inevitable that Ji'an scholars would dominate the imperial examination.

By the way, why else would people defect to Jianwen?
Could it be that you love him?
Don’t you just know that no one can fail them if they take the old imperial examination?

In fact, with the raid on the ruling fleet and the surrender of Humen without a fight, the Guangzhou court really didn't have the panic of the sky falling.

The key is that they are convinced that it is impossible for Yang Feng to come back at this time.

They kept staring at Yang Feng.

Of course, it's not just them. In fact, mainly the local officials in the north, including some of the generals at the garrison, are quietly cooperating with their intelligence. The method is of course very simple, just keep reporting Yang Feng's whereabouts to the capital in urgent reports.And now that the capital is under siege, these urgent memorials can of course be easily robbed and stolen on the road, including being dismantled privately at government offices in various places, and then quickly sent to Wang Bi or Huang Zicheng, who then expedited them to Guangzhou.

Even the time when Guangzhou gets these urgent reports is not necessarily much later than the capital.

So they were sure that Yang Feng hadn't come yet.

The key is that it is impossible for Yang Feng to come back in such a short period of time, and he has to board a ship and go south to Humen.

Is he flying?

Well, just fly!
Ambassador Yang felt that riding a horse was too tiring...

He had to keep changing horses and cover seven or eight thousand miles eastward from Jiayuguan to get to the capital. More importantly, he was easily spotted on the road. The northwest wind had started to blow at this time, so he just got a hot air balloon and brought enough fuel to maintain altitude. Anyway, he I have a parachute, so I can just float around with the rest.

Finally, he drifted all the way to Haizhou, and then informed the little princess to send a ship to pick him up.

But Jianwen didn't know that here.

They just mistook his double for the real him.

Since he is not in charge of the fleet, what is there to be afraid of? There are only [-] infantry. Can these few people still attack Guangzhou?Now there are more than [-] chaotic troops in Guangzhou City alone. Regardless of whether they are [-], [-], [-] or [-], they are equipped with magic guns to kill people.As for the countless weapons and ammunition, including more than a hundred cannons of various kinds, we were originally worried that the ruling party would raid Guangzhou and would not have time to mobilize troops, but now we are actually informed?

That's easy.

All Foshan's cannons and guns were brought into the city.

All the old and weak people who are being recruited from various places come here.

Are you still afraid of the [-] Beijing camp?
Besides, He Di was still fighting Zheng He at sea, which meant that Zheng He's warships could not come to provide support to the ruling party, and there were basically no follow-up reinforcements. What could such a lone army do even if it captured Humen?
"Yes, we counterattacked Humen and fought a decisive battle with the Beijing camp. We happened to miss the princess in the capital. This time she came to the door on her own."

"Get the princess!"

……

Other officials have expressed their opinions.

Jianwen looked at He Rong...

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to hold on."

He Rong said.Counterattack?
Just those eleven or two colored eyes, just those gray-haired colored eyes, are they going to counterattack?Although He Rong did not like these lusts, he also understood that the latter was the most reliable. The He family was already the leader of the rebel party. In this case, he had to really help Jianwen.Holding firm is the best option. Anyway, the [-] Beijing camp will definitely not be able to open Guangzhou, and it will inevitably fall into a long-term offensive and defensive war. As long as Wang Bi and Huang Zicheng's main forces are withdrawn, and his uncle He Di defeats Zheng He, the ruling fleet will be Will be trapped in Humen.

In the end, he had no choice but to let go.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is an emergency in Dongguan. That Yang Feng, Hua Ying and other troops are already heading towards Dongguan."

Jianwen's Chief of Ceremonies, Zhang Yin, walked to him anxiously and said.

He Rong was stunned for a moment.

Dongguan.

He Rong's younger brother He Hong anxiously urged the young men.

There are no defenders here.

Dongguan has Humen in front of it and Huizhou in the back. It is a very safe place, but it has a large population. After all, as the foundation of the He family, there is the largest salt farm in Guangdong to the east. The He family controls the Shazhou District on the south bank of the Dongjiang River to the north of Humen, where Guangdong and Guangxi are The main production area of ​​table salt is Wanxiang. The Wanxiang from Liaobu is shipped south to Hong Kong by sea. This is how the name of Hong Kong comes from.

Not to mention a bunch of children of local local tyrants and evil gentry working as officials in the navy and along the coast with the He family.

But now this prosperous city has to face the flames of war.

"Quick, everyone, hurry up, fight off the thieves, and reward everyone with ten taels of silver!"

Shang Baocheng He Hong shouted.

He, Shang Baocheng, spends most of his time in Dongguan and is regarded as the housekeeper among the He brothers.

He has three brothers.

He Rong is the right governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the second oldest He Gui is in charge of the imperial camp. The imperial camp currently has two armies, Hua Rong and He Gui. As for the old guard system, it is still maintained. This power is still in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. , but it is essentially a reserve force. After all, the small area of ​​​​Jianwen cannot maintain many regular troops.The regular army at this time was not in the cold weapon age of the past. Even on weekdays, it had to maintain huge investments. It would take a thousand days to boil saltwater and it would not be as good as a general's cannon. This was the age of firearms, and training for artillery and musketry was all about throwing money at it.Originally, there were 10,000+ military households in the Guangdong Guard Station. It was impossible to maintain regular military status with so many. However, the reserve army could not only increase the wealth of the court, especially the generals of the Guard Station, but also provide sufficient troops for the imperial camp, navy, and various fortresses.

However, Guangxi and Annan still maintained the old system, with Wang Bi as the governor-general and the governor-general of the two places.

He himself controlled the Annan armies.

Guangxi is Han Guan.

Han Cheng's son, who died in the Poyang Lake battle, has been granted the title of Gaoyang Marquis after his father.

but……

He is not like Wang Bi who has to fight.

After all, he is the second generation.

In short, the current army of the Jianwen court consists of four systems: Wang Bi, He family, Hua family, and Han Guan. As for those Semu, they are only an important source of troops and are still commanded by these people. In fact, everyone understands their situation. Anyone who can die If you want to use it, try to use it to death.

"Mr. Ma, this time it all depends on you. If we can defeat the traitors, the business in Tianfang will be yours!"

He Hong shouted to a Semu elder.

The latter was rushing towards the city wall with those warriors who were either gray-haired or not much better than the God Machine Guns. There were even some women behind them, all holding whale oil Molotov cocktails...

Of course they understand this.

The whaling industry in Guangdong, led by Xuwen fishermen, can also provide large amounts of whale oil.

Making a Molotov cocktail is not easy.

"Shang Bao, don't worry. The five thousand members of our Ma family will live and die with this city!"

Elder Semu said.

Then he also scolded his men to speed up.

At the same time, several local elders were trembling with crutches and scolding the young men of the clan. The latter also came to the city in confusion. Thanks to the fact that the gentry have begun to strengthen themselves and are guarding the arms dealers in Foshan, the folk firearms here The ratio is higher.Especially those senior fellow villagers who were more or less involved in maritime trade, could even wield flintlock muskets, and even some cannons originally intended for smuggling were pulled out, and the Dongguan City Wall was quickly armed.At this moment, Elder Semu and the fellow villagers finally abandoned their usual intrigues and united to face the coming enemy.

As for their enemies…

"I, Yang Feng, who dares to fight me!"

A guy covered in gold armor, shining like a target in the sun, shouted while holding a shield in one hand and a meteor hammer in the other.

"Open, fire!"

"fire!"

……

Then there was chaos and hateful shouts on the walls.

Although I don’t know if it’s true or false…

Fake, must be fake.

But it can't be true.

In short, flames were sprayed from the muzzles of the cannons on the city wall.

Shells immediately fell near the guy.

But he was still running wildly with the shield in hand.

Suddenly a cannonball hit his shield, and the huge impact sent him flying backwards. However, amidst the cheers on the city wall, he ran wildly again when he landed. Then there were regretful sighs on the city wall, but the senior fellows who continued to urge the fire Xian and Elder Semu didn't notice that the faces of those young and strong men all started to look different.

Cannonballs can't even kill him!
Even if this is just a small cannonball, it is not something that a mortal can resist!

This Tamar is genuine.

This is Yang Feng.

Really Yang Feng.

Of course, the legendary immortal monster may also be a god, but neither monster nor god is obviously something that mortals can fight against.

The shells falling again clearly began to move away from the figure...

"Bitch, why don't you hit him?"

Elder Semu, who finally realized something was wrong, shouted at a young man beside him who was taking aim.

At the same time, he stepped forward and tried to push away the guy who was deflecting the muzzle of the gun from the target.

The latter quickly fired.

At the same time, Elder Semu arrived behind the cannon...

"boom!"

Muzzle flame spray.

The cannon instantly hit Elder Semu's waist with its ferocious recoil. The latter screamed and flew backwards, and his landing posture was obviously twisted. However, the young men seemed not to see it and hurriedly reloaded their ammunition.In such a fierce battle, who would care about such an accident? How could he be so stupid that the cannon was already on fire and he still moved towards the rear of the cannon.It is said that these days when the cannon is lit, everyone has to run away quickly, and at the same time, they have to pray to any god or Buddha to protect them from exploding.

You didn't want to run, but you still came up to me?

Isn't that looking for death?
