Yang Dashuai, who spoke righteously and business in his heart, welcomed the envoy sent by Dong Yu the next day after sending Xu Guangqi out of the city...

Who is not just a business in your mouth and a business in your heart!

Governor Dong and the gentry behind him worked so hard, isn’t it because they couldn’t sell food?

Looking at Susong’s wealth in the Ming Dynasty, Susong’s granary was in Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, Susong’s textile mills were all over the world, and they scored half of the gold and silver they earned. Every year, new grain came down, countless upstream gentry grain transport ships went downstream and then entered the canal in Zhenjiang. Then they followed the canal to Suzhou and even continued southward to Hangzhou. In this process, all the grain turned into white silver, and then turned into cloth produced by Susong, salt from Huaibei, and returned to the upstream to continue to earn more silver...

But Yang Feng was stuck in Nanjing, so the money was not shipped to them.

Not only did the money not be transported to them, but the gentry who originally trafficked in private salt in Huguang were also unable to sell salt from Huaibei due to the blockade of the Yangtze River shipping.

The Yangtze River is the artery of the Ming Empire. Countless tributaries in the upper reaches, even the businesses of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan rely on this artery. How much business is delayed by this blockage!

This is the real reason why they work hard.

Is it really for the Ming Dynasty?

joke!

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty is nothing!

Well, everyone knows that the Ming Emperor is actually in Nanjing.

Jubao Gate.

"Xiong Jieyuan, should you go to the palace to meet Your Majesty first?"

Yang Feng looked at Xiong Tingbi.

Well, Xiong Tingbi is the one who is the messenger for Dong Yu.

Because the two sides are not suitable for official contact at present, since Yang Feng sent a scholar as an envoy, Dong Yu naturally would not send officials to come. So Xiong Tingbi, who had just gotten the first place in the Huguang Provincial Examination this year, was sent by him. Yingtian Provincial Examination has indeed been delayed, but the provincial examinations in other provinces have continued. In fact, even the Shuntian Provincial Examination continues. No matter what, this Jinshi still needs to be taken, especially the Hongguang court, who even has to continue taking the imperial examination according to the original time until next year.

Of course, it was the Chengtian exam.

For this reason, even started to build the examination room in Chengtian.

This is also the reason why Guangxi finally chose to join. After all, Guangxi was originally a marginal area of ​​the imperial examination, such as Teng County, the hometown of Yuandudu, which was released in half a century. He also abandoned his relatives in his hometown and went to Dongguan to settle down.

Now that the Hongguang Dynasty has taken the imperial examinations, there are so many competitors, Guangxi scholars will definitely produce more Jinshi.

The imperial examination!

Nothing is more important to them than this.

If our Qing Dynasty hadn’t abolished the imperial examination, we might have been able to hold on for a few more years!

Now that the Hongguang Dynasty was in the imperial examination, it immediately became the wise lord and wise ruler in the minds of scholars all over the world. Even some prefectures in Henan began to be loyal to Hongguang. As for Xiong Tingbi was Dong Yu's aide at this time, this attack that went straight to Nanjing was largely due to Xiong Tingbi's planning.

As for whether Xiong Tingbi knows the truth...

"No need, we are the ministers of Your Majesty Hongguang, and I don't know if there is any other Your Majesty!"

Xiong Tingbi said proudly.

Obviously he knew.

In fact, anyone with a brain at this time understood what was going on, but it was because of the clarity that he abandoned Wanli more firmly.

"Is this true that those who are loyal and righteous?"

Yang Feng said.

"Isn't Yu Shaobao loyal and righteous? You are in chaos in the world and the Ming Dynasty's country is at the forefront of the survival of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, only those who can make a decision to preserve the country will be loyal and righteous. Can Yingzong continue to be the emperor when Yingzong hunts north?"

Xiong Tingbi said bluntly.

"You are comparing me to a barbarian!"

"The barbarians invade China, and you are also invade China. The barbarians still know how to respect Confucianism and Taoism. You slaughter the virtuous and kind. It seems that you are more intoxicated than the barbarians."

"Is this a disaster?"

Yang Feng pointed to the happy people ahead and said.

"Well!"

Xiong Tingbi also looked at the joyful street ahead in a little astonishment.

The scene in front of him did make him a little uncomfortable. You should know that they described Nanjing as like a demon cave hell among the people. There are even rumors that Yang Feng, the demon king in the world, still eats people, eats a pair of boys and girls every day, and says that his subordinates are so good at fighting because they eat people. There are also saying that he, Ye Yu Bai Girl, ate after playing, and is like a stone tiger reborn. In short, in their propaganda to the people, Nanjing City is like a lion and Camel Ridge...

Journey to the West has been published at this time.

It is generally believed that the earliest Journey to the West was in the 20th year of Wanli, but it is definitely earlier, so it is very suitable to discredit Yang Feng.

Although Xiong Tingbi knew that this was compiled.

But he also thought that the city of Nanjing must be very terrifying at this time. Not to mention leading beasts to eat people, but at least corpses would have to be everywhere every day. After all, Yang Feng could cut more than 100 high-ranking officials and nobles at one time, so it would be ridiculous to say that they would not kill people afterwards.

But what the hell is in front of you?

"Clouds follow the dragon, wind follow the tiger, fame, wealth, dust and earth..."

A team of militia carried spears, sang war songs, held their heads and chests, and walked by them.

"...This is not the river water, the heroic blood that cannot be flowed for twenty years..."

On the stage at the intersection of the street, a performer was singing in a cheering voice.

"You are selling melon seeds, and it's all agreed that melon seeds are well-known!"

There are also hawkers who are hawking.

...

But then he woke up quickly...

"How can the foolish people know? They are just cheating on you."

He said viciously.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Yang Feng suddenly laughed.

Xiong Tingbi was only in his twenties and still couldn't help but blush.

"Yang understands, you actually understand everything, but your butts are originally crooked, so even if you see a peaceful and prosperous era, you have to coax yourself desperately in your heart, saying that this is fake, this is just a carnival of fools. Even if you know that His Majesty the Emperor is real, you have to find yourself Yu Shaobao's coat in your heart, as if you will be really loyal ministers and righteous men after putting it on.

You see the people singing happily, and you will only cover your ears and shout desperately that I don’t listen. I don’t listen. They are either singing happily, they are crying.

Then after going out, continue to fabricate how miserable it is. You can all deceive yourself over time.

What is this called?

This is called the butt crooked, and the head will not work well."

Yang Feng continued.

"snort!"

Xiong Tingbi was speechless.

Then they walked through the happy streets like this. Xiong Jieyuan looked at the sides with complicated eyes, looking at the militia passing by, women who were sprinkling limes with the health team, and chasing their children with bamboo knives. He probably felt quite disappointed at this moment. You should know that their morale was sluggish at this time, and even deserters were constantly. Because the plum rain season came, the plague broke out in the military camp, but many soldiers died of illness every day, and the originally obedient generals began to be less obedient.

Withdrawal of military pay, not having enough food, no one cares about injuries, etc. have become common.

Compared with the city, it is completely different from the darkness and light.

But……

Acknowledge this?

No, no, absolutely cannot admit it. I admit that under the rule of this world-famous demon king, it is more like a peaceful and prosperous era than under the rule of the common people? I admit that the people in Nanjing live and work in peace and contentment? No, I cannot admit it. This must be fake. It was Yang Feng who deliberately forced the people to act. How could it be safe and contentment here? It must be like a demon cave...

He was really like Yang Feng said, as if he was covering his ears and trying hard to tell in his heart that all this in front of him was fake.

Fake.

It must be fake.

Fakes, all fakes!

Then the two of them went to Lion Mountain like this...

Yang Feng still regards this place as his command center. After all, Nanjing is not just an enemy upstream, and the Caojiang Navy downstream is also very threatening.

Moreover, the navy upstream also tried to land on many occasions.

Their current attack focus is not on Fengtai Gate, where there are cavalry in Beijing. Even if they rush into the city wall, they will still retreat due to the counterattack of the cavalry. This has been confirmed by previous battles, but if the Yangtze River Navy cannon cannons can be solved, they can directly attack Lion Mountain here. After all, the number of giant cannons on Lion Mountain has increased to eight gates and the Yangtze River Navy under the cover of these eight giant cannons is the main threat to cut off the Yangtze River, and their main purpose is Yangtze River shipping.

However……

"It's just a joke!"

Yang Feng stood behind the giant cannon and said proudly.

Immediately afterwards, the giant cannon roared and the shells flew into the distance.

Xiong Tingbi silently looked at the distant river surface, where cannons rumbled and gunpowdered. A large-scale battle was in progress. In fact, this battle was carried out to cooperate with him.

The purpose is to demonstrate.

But unfortunately, the result of the demonstration was really just a joke.
To be continued...
