my days with tyrants

Chapter 397 The overall situation has been decided
The failure of the night attack made the defenders in the city dare not leave the city again.

In fact, they couldn't leave the city.

On the second day, more than 20 young people from outside the city spontaneously came to fight for power.

20 young men, together with the arriving navy and some soldiers from the Beijing camp, surrounded the entire city of Guangzhou. The Gonggun princes on the city wall were only in fear at this time, and how could they dare to go out of the city to attack.Besides, the five thousand before were indeed the only ones left among the Semu warriors in the city who could be used for counterattack. Now there are no young adults among the remaining Semu warriors.

They are all old men.

Half a boy.

There are even some athletic women.

The only thing they can do is shoot out on the city wall, throw grenades, and some half-grown men can jump down with explosive bombs.

In fact, at this time Yang Feng gave an order, and 20 young men killed and injured tens of thousands of people, which was enough to break through Guangzhou.

But the governor has already said that she will use her affection to influence King Guangze and let him take the initiative to accuse him. In short, no one is allowed to attack without her order, and no one is allowed to fire into the city. Even if the city wall takes the initiative to fire provocation, no one is allowed to fight back... …

Just keep some distance.

Anyway, at this time, the artillery basically had no aim when it was more than one mile away.

But at the same time, Ambassador Yang personally led the volunteers of Guangdong and began to raid the counties. The gentry of the surrounding counties surrendered...

Copy the house!

If you take the initiative to surrender at this time, you must not be sincere.

If you want to search your home, you must search your home.

Then the man grabbed him and started digging out bird droppings.

It's just that we go to the nearby Dongsha and Xisha to dig instead of digging in the East China Sea. The number of years for digging guano is determined according to the degree of cooperation with Jianwen. It can be as short as one year or as long as ten years. Of course, after ten years, you basically can't come back. After all, it’s hard to imagine anyone being able to dig guano for ten years and still be alive.

However, the women and children at home will not be implicated. They can divide the houses and plots of land, and then support themselves!
As for those who don't surrender, of course their homes will be confiscated.

Not only were the homes confiscated, but the men also had to dig up bird droppings until they died. As for the women and children, they were deprived of their citizenship and then distributed by the officials to local bachelors.

The powerful families in Guangdong looked up to the sky and howled, accusing this evil era.

Of course, they could only wail.

Resistance is impossible. After all, they can't expect the people to follow them. They can resist on their own. They surrender honestly like those who are sure that there is no big crime, and then go dig guano for a few years and then come back to reunite with their wives and children. Ordinary people make wise choices.In fact, in recent years, the gentry of Guangdong have also begun to dig guano. After all, there are both Dongsha and Xisha, and their ships often pass by these two places. Of course, it is impossible for them not to know how to dig guano.Although digging bird droppings is very painful, as long as you are not deliberately tortured, there is no problem in persisting for three to five years. Any more will definitely lead to death. Therefore, despite Yang Feng's cruelty, surrender is still the mainstream.

As for those who refuse to surrender, of course there is only one way to die.

There is no need for Yang Feng to do anything.

People everywhere can solve it themselves.

In fact, people everywhere would rather they not surrender.

Therefore, the unruly people in many places coaxed the gentry into resisting tenaciously. If the gentry really resisted tenaciously, they immediately eliminated the traitors in power, so that many gentry were deceived by these unruly people...

Of course, the gray of the times!

What can be done?
In this way, the powerful people of Guangdong suffered a catastrophe, especially the industrial and commercial gentry. Everything they had built with years of hard work became Yang Feng's.

factory……

Foshan alone can cast more than [-] cannons of various types a year!
It can even produce three thousand long and short flintlock guns annually.

Of course, this was accepted by Yang Feng, and all the factories in Foshan became governors. This was used to compensate for the bank's losses. To put it simply, the companies were expropriated first, then auctioned by the government, and the proceeds from the auction were used to compensate for the losses caused by the bank's previous looting.This is not Yang Feng pretending to be a public servant for personal gain. Those factory owners in Foshan all owe a lot of money to the bank. Their homes were confiscated, but the bank's debt cannot be ruined!
A person's debt will not be broken even after his death.

So they auctioned off their factories to pay off their debts.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the workers, they just changed their bosses.

And the new boss certainly gives them everything they want.

Also because of the need to siege the city, the government also purchased a large amount of arms, so the workers just had to work hard.

As for rural areas, the public land law will be directly changed.

Including landless farmers, those who are willing to return to their hometowns will be divided into fields. However, as those factories fall into the hands of the government, workers' wages have skyrocketed, and it seems that there is no need to return to their hometowns to farm.The government also promised to build houses for them around the factory, set up schools for their children, and set up hospitals for them. In this case, of course they should stay as workers!As for those military households, the land of the original guard station was directly distributed to them. Although the original guard generals were unwilling, if they dared to oppose at this time, they could only be rebelling against the party. Since they chose to surrender, they should be honest Just accept your fate.

In this way, while surrounding Guangzhou, the various places around Guangzhou seemed to be experiencing spring breeze and rain.

At the same time, news from the north is also coming...

Haizhu Island, the seat of power.

At this time, this place was a small island, a very small island, three miles away from Guangzhou City. However, there were several gardens on the island, which were built by the wealthy people of Guangzhou, and they happened to be requisitioned by the government as a palace.

"Wang Bi died of illness?"

Yang Feng said unexpectedly.

Wang Bi died.

He hurriedly withdrew his troops in Wuchang, but died of illness after arriving in Hengyang.It did achieve his purpose.

After all, he was not forced to death by Yang Feng, and now all Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants have followed him.

"It's not necessarily true that he died of illness. It's possible that his subordinates poisoned him. Han Guan has taken over the military power of his subordinates. If nothing else happens, he should surrender soon."

Zheng He said.

Yang Feng nodded.

Indeed, Wang Bi only relied on his prestige to control the Annan and Guangxi armies...

Of course, it is actually a smuggling trade.

After all, he also has the Lingqu channel water transport route from Annan to the north. Goods going south from Jiangxi, Huguang and even the north take the Xiangjiang Lingqu route, all the way to Beibu Gulf and then to Annan. In addition, he also controls the copper and tin with Yunnan. Waiting for trade.These have brought huge income to his group. Following Jianwen means that there is no court jurisdiction, so naturally they can make a fortune at will, but this is when the court does not deal with them. If the situation goes wrong, they cannot risk their lives for these benefits.Wang Bi wanted to fight to the end. As the first generation of Xun, he wanted to follow Zhu Yuanzhang when he surrendered. However, Han Guan, the second generation of Xun, did not have such danger, so if the situation was not right, giving him a glass of poisonous wine would be considered the most benevolent and righteous act.

Otherwise, he should be captured and thrown into prison.

First poison him, then surrender, and put all the previous responsibilities on Wang Bi.

At this time Huaying walked in.

"Ambassador, my brother is leading the army anyway!"

He said.

Then he handed over a letter.

Yang Feng looked at him in surprise.

After all, it’s a bit strange that Hua Ying knew this kind of news first...

Well, nothing surprising.

Because Hua Rong took action after retreating to Nanchang.

In fact, he wanted to withdraw to Ganzhou before taking action, so as to completely sell out Jiangxi led by Huang Zicheng, especially the gentry in Ji'an, Ganzhou and other places. After all, there were a large number of fortresses built in these two places. If he went to Ganzhou to take action, these fortresses would be gone. used.But Huang Zicheng also knew that he was likely to defect. After all, his younger brother had already defected, so after retreating to Nanchang, Huang Zicheng wanted to preemptively trick him into killing him at the banquet.But unexpectedly, the trusted generals around Huang Zicheng secretly told Hua Rong, and then they teamed up to kill Huang Zicheng. Although the latter escaped with the protection of General Semu in a bloody battle, Nanchang could no longer hold on and had to flee to Ji'an.

Hua Rong then sent letters to his brother through his family's business houses in various places.

As for the court, they may not know yet.

After all, the battlefield in Jiangxi was also in chaos at this time. Even if it was known that Hua Rong was in charge, he might not be able to confirm it quickly.

This kind of thing needs to be confirmed first.

"Okay, your brother has woken up in time, and it's up to the governor how to deal with it."

Yang Feng said after reading the letter.

Of course, he said that Hua Rong woke up in time, and there was no need to say how to deal with it in power.

Moreover, Hua Rong's letter not only stated that he had captured Nanchang anyway and was attacking Ji'an, but also included a series of changes in the north at this time, especially the fact that Xu Huizu's army had moved south into Huguang, and Chang Sheng also led his army to Fengyang, and even Even the Sichuan-Guizhou Army led by He Fu had already left the Three Gorges, so after learning the news of Yang Feng's arrival in Guangzhou, all military leaders hurriedly took action to serve the king. It is estimated that even Mu Sheng was ready to march to Annan.

"The Ming Dynasty has been troubled for four years, and now it can finally be reunited."

Zheng He said with emotion.

"Go and deal with He Di completely. You are no longer needed here."

Yang Feng said.

Zheng He immediately saluted and left.

"As for you, find a way to let the city know this news."

Yang Feng then said to Huaying.

The latter quickly bowed and left.

They all left, and then the ruler came out wearing a dress that was obviously too voluptuous, and she was waving her little ball fan...

"You don't want to kill this? You woke up in time. It's obvious that the two ends of the first rat, as well as Han Sheng, and even He Fu should be killed. After fighting for so long, no one was able to produce a single soldier. Now look at it. The overall situation has been decided and everyone is fighting to be the first? If a dog like this is so obviously unfaithful, if it were my father, they would all be stripped and killed, including Chang Sheng!"

The little princess said angrily.

Indeed, these guys are really diligent. It can be said that when the capital is besieged, they can arrive in the capital to rescue the siege within a month.

Chang Sheng's men could easily assemble tens of thousands of cavalry.

Going south from Peiping, there were no enemies along the way. There were pontoon bridges on the Yellow River, Huaiguan on the Huaihe River, and two pontoon bridges at Xuyi. The cavalry could travel unimpeded. One month was enough for the horse to step on melons.But I didn't arrive in Fengyang until now. It was obvious that I was waiting for the fall of the capital. In the end, I didn't wait for the fall of the capital but waited for Yang Feng, and then I had to rush to Qinwang.As for Hua Rong and Han Guan, let alone Hua Rong. Even if Hua Rong has secretly communicated with the capital, they are essentially just stepping on the same boat. Whoever wins will help whoever wins.

"It's not appropriate to kill, but you still have to clean up. Just go back and have a drink to release your military power. After this battle is over, these guys will be useless.

Now let’s look at the city of Guangzhou. "

Yang Feng said.
