Feng Shan guessed right...

The Changsheng Army really dares not fight!

It was only a total of more than three months that they had only formed an army. They had done their best to put out the four large arrays of groups.

fight?

The soldiers who had just learned to queue up were already scared and crying!

Let them shoot in the face of the enemy, that will really break down.

So they really just came to scare it. After all, so far, the two sides are still just friction. This matter was initiated by Tang Feng alone, but the Hongguang Dynasty groups themselves don’t want to fight, at least they don’t want to fight this winter. All regions are busy training their own provincial troops, and three months is definitely not enough. At least next winter, and more than a year can be barely enough.

So what they need during this time is peace.

After all, training the provincial army requires money.

Whether upstream or downstream, it is necessary to maintain Yangtze River shipping to make money and train the army.

Huaiyang Army needs salt industry income.

The ever-winning army needs to ensure that foreign cotton can enter Susong's factories, and to ensure that upstream grain ensures that workers will not rebel due to food shortage.

The upstream provinces needed them to bring back silver to Susong's grain transportation for military expenses.

Zhejiang needs various commodities brought on the canal to maintain their overseas trade. Only when overseas trade prospers can they have the money to train provincial troops and build new warships...

So stability is the most important.

But things have happened.

They couldn't watch Danyang fall into Yang Feng's hands.

So what else can be done?

Come and set up a formation to engage in military deterrence or blackmail!

Leave the rest to Danyang himself to solve. Anyway, the trouble caused by the Danyang gentry cannot be expected to be wiped by others.

However, the Danyang gentry still refused to hand over the nine tribes of the Tang family.

Local gentry are in-laws.

The nine tribes of the Tang family had to implicate at least one-third of the gentry in Danyang. This kind of connection was too cruel, and the three tribes of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the gentry of the Danyang really looked at Tang Feng who was filmed outside, and they already felt a big feeling of humanity. But it was impossible to hand over the nine tribes, and it was also impossible to let the bandit army enter the city. The rest was based on their ability. The Beijing camp continued to bombard the city walls, continued to fire artillery in the city, and the two armies outside continued to confront each other.

Then……

The nine-pound cannon cannot bombard Danyang City.

Of course, this is nothing strange. Twelve pounds are field guns themselves. It is still very difficult to rely on field guns to blast the brick wall like Danyang in a short time.

Especially in the previous few months, Danyang City had just undergone renovations.

At this time, Danyang City was not as strong as Nanjing City, but at least it was at the level of Shanhaiguan. Even if the Qing Dynasty had the Red Barbarian cannons, they did not try to blast Shanhaiguan. In fact, they could not even use the Red Barbarian cannon to bombard the city wall with the Red Barbarian cannons. Although the Eastern style rammed earth-covered brick wall is indeed not as good as the bastion in defense of solid bullet direct firing, it is not easy for field cannons to be bombed open, otherwise Jiangyin would not have persisted for so long.

In fact, Feng Shan stopped bombarding the city wall the next day, but continued to garrison outside the city, and did not dare to fight back in the city. The Changsheng Army did not dare to attack, and the two sides actually confronted each other in Danyang. And while their confrontation, the autumn harvest in various places was quickly completed in a panic, and even the sowing of winter crops such as winter wheat and rapeseed was also completed quickly. During this period, Yang Feng did not issue any new orders. In fact, he mainly inspected and guided the autumn harvest and sowing in various places, especially with the establishment of rural militia organizations in various places, the compulsory education and medical system construction he had promised were also being fulfilled, and there was a new tax system...

This is very simple.

The biggest problem with in-kind tax is transportation, but this is not a problem now. After all, the area under the control of the Yingtian imperial court is actually only more than 200 miles from east to west, and there is also a developed water transportation.

Village chiefs and militia captains in rural areas are responsible for collecting tax grains in their villages, and then transporting them to the township with militias. The township has a grain office responsible for collecting and storing them. The grain stations are stored in a short period of time. At the same time, large grain warehouses are established in prefectures and counties. Tax grains are continuously drawn from the grain stations in the next few months and sent to the grain warehouses. The grain station always maintains a part of the inventory, and will immediately put them into the market if there is a famine...

This system should actually be equipped with unified purchase and sale of grain.

But Yang Feng can't do it at the moment.

Because local grain output is definitely not self-sufficient, how can that little territory support the 150 people in Nanjing?

We can only rely on grain merchants outside.

Since grain merchants need to rely on grain merchants to import grain, it is impossible to purchase and sell them in a unified manner. Even the grain prices in Nanjing must be maintained higher than Susong, otherwise the grain merchants coming from the upstream will go directly.

Therefore, we can only follow the route of regulating the market with grain reserves.

Without further action on his side, the Hongguang Dynasty groups would certainly not raise any more trouble. Tang Feng's Lingchi and his more than 300 heads also made the exiled gentry a little more honest for the time being. After all, it was too terrifying to cause the nine clans to be together to vent their anger. Besides, their nine clans would not do it, why did they let us be unlucky because of your impulse? Also, the militia under their command did not do it. They were just making a living, so why did they cut off their own way out for you?

Time is coming soon.

Even the late rice that was not ready to plant overwintering crops was harvested in the end.

Then……

Outside Danyang City.

"Master!"

"Master!"

...

Cheers resounded throughout the harvested fields.

Amid the excited eyes and shouts of countless men, women, young and old, a four-wheeled carriage slowly drove past them.

A figure in silver armor on the carriage, wearing a red cloak, leaning on a huge knife in his hand, accompanied by the sound of war drums behind him, constantly nodding to them.

Marshal Yang visited the battlefield.

"Pull those kneeling up!"

Marshal Yang said.

The guards following the carriage immediately walked to the crowd and pulled up the excited people who knelt down and kowtowed.

These are just added locally.

Feng Shan’s attack on Danyang made half of Danyang red...

OK, that's the word.

The Hongguang Dynasty officials called these situations where they were controlled by the Jing camp and then spread the fields to be divided. After all, the farmers would quickly put on red scarves, raise the red flag, call themselves the Red scarves army, and also call the Jing camp a bandit of the same color. Yang Feng's identity as a demon king in the world continued, but it was simplified to the Red Demon. In short, it gradually formed a special title.

And these who had just turned red, were so grateful to Marshal Yang that he had no choice but to kowtow.

Unlike those who take a little time to enjoy the benefits of redness, they immediately enjoy the joy of harvest.

The rice I just harvested is directly my own.

The few people were pulled up and stood there and still looked at Yang Feng excitedly.

"Everyone listened, from now on, my Ming Dynasty man only knelt on the heaven and earth's parents, and no one else has to kneel. Whoever dares to ask you to kneel down to him, you will directly chop off his dog's head.

Remember a word.

equality.

Born to be equal to everyone!

Kneel to the sky to shine on all things, kneel to the ground to nourish all living beings with the earth, kneel to your parents to give them to yourself.

There are no other things worthy of your kneeling. Gods and Buddhas are not worthy of them, emperors are not worthy of them, and those officials are not worthy of them, and I am not worthy of you!”

Yang Feng shouted.

Those people quickly salute and obey the teachings.

In this way, Jun Shi was kicked out of the ranks of kneeling and bowing by Yang Feng. In fact, this new rule has begun to be officially implemented in Nanjing, and Wanli also pinched his nose and issued an order to admit it, which means that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has officially announced the abolition of kneeling and bowing to the emperor. As for officials, there is no need to kneel down, including the teacher's ceremony, and the teacher's ceremony has also been changed to ordinary bowing. Although Jiao Rong and others were reluctant, they could not fight in the end, so they pinched their noses and added Wang Zheng retro to the imperial edict...

Wang Zheng Retro is a basket, you can put anything in it.

Anyway, they are great scholars, and they say this is Wang Zheng’s retro, so this is Wang Zheng’s retro!

In order to restore the king's political affairs, His Majesty the Emperor had canceled his kneeling in the morning, but this move caused dissatisfaction with Kaiyuan Bo's letter.

Because this new policy is for the people of the Ming Dynasty, in order to make the foreign countries know the respect of the Ming Dynasty, those foreign countries still had to kneel when they saw the emperor. Not only did they kneel, but he also specially designed a set of three-kneel and nine-kneel ceremony for the foreign countries as the etiquette for the emperor. Therefore, when everyone in the morning bowed to His Majesty the Emperor, Matteo Ricci had to kneel three-kneel and kowtow three-kneel and kowtow nine-kowtow like our Qing officials.

But he was calm.

The great ceremony of kneeling three times and nine times can be said to be meticulous.

In fact, when Europeans met the Emperor or officials of the Ming Dynasty, they never struggled with kneeling down. Whether these missionaries or Portuguese merchants in Macau, they would kneel very simply even to the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Matteo Ricci recorded that he even saw the eunuchs in Nanjing lying on the ground and shouting Qiansheng.

As for Maltgani's old dog who was not kneeling down, he simply saw too many ugly things in the Qing Dynasty along the way. He was full of contempt for the chief of the Tatar and deliberately found faults on this issue. Later, Europeans understood this and then followed suit.

Amid the cheers, Yang Feng reached the artillery position, and at this moment, under Danyang City ahead, there was a red flag waving.

"The red flag rolls up the serf's halberd!"

Yang Feng sighed.

The scene at this moment is still very consistent with this poem.

Because at this time, almost all the militias under Danyang City were coming to assist in the war.

With the end of autumn harvest and sowing, all local militias in Zhenjiang, Jurong and Danyang came. Anyway, their homes were idle, so it was okay to come to help. They were all led by militia officers from all over the country, and they didn’t even need to be cared for by others. The militia teams themselves had special cooking, and they also brought the food themselves. There were even those who didn’t even have to bring them with them, but they brought money directly.

There are vendors around them.

Most of these militia are cold weapons. Although there are indeed not many halberds, the scene of spears being like a forest can still be regarded as the scene.

Actually there are halberds.

Since it is a militia, it is difficult to have standardized weapons. Basically, it is used for whatever you get. There are also those that cannot even be equipped with spears. It is simply a homemade big stick. In order to increase its power, it also installs a hardwood hammer in front, like a clown girl carrying a sledgehammer.
