Chapter 49: Respect for Life Yang Xiangguo

His Highness the King of Chu ended his life that should have been nearly half a century old.

Of course, his death had nothing to do with the military and civilians of Wuchang that revolted.

Because of glory, he tried to return to Emperor Wanli's arms, but was cruelly killed by the Hongguang Rebel Party. He was a loyal minister. His Majesty of Emperor Wanli would give him a posthumous title with the word "Loyalty", and the Rebel Party also cruelly killed more than 2,000 royal families who followed him.

So much so that the Chu King's Mansion flowed into a river of blood...

They have a very large population.

In fact, the Chu family had a total of more than 3,000 royal families. In history, these guys went to armed forces to rob the silver because of the excitement of the King of Chu giving Wanli the silver. Even the governor of Yunyang gathered troops to go south to Wuchang to quell the rebellion of the Chu family. Moreover, during the trial of the case by Huguang Governor Zhao Kehuai, a royal family broke free from the shackles and swung the shackles to open a candle for the governor.

I don't know what kind of shoddy shackles it is.

Xuzhou.

"It's simply crazy!"

Yang Xiangguo said angrily.

It is now the sixth day after the Wuchang Uprising.

However, the news he could get here was that the King of Chu led Zhongyi to raise troops in Wuchang City and was brutally suppressed. Although the Wuchang military and civilians eventually recovered Wuchang, including Wuchang Prefecture and Wuchang County, they still failed to save the King of Chu in the brutal massacre of the Hongguang Rebel Party.

It eventually led to the tragedy of Chu Fan.

This is the truth of the incident that the Yingtian court needs to disclose to the public next.

The real truth can only be in the information in his hands. This information was sent to Macheng in Wuchang for two days, and then in one day, through Yinshan Pass and Hutou Pass, and to the old Yinshan Pass under the control of the Red Turban Army. At this time, the boundary line of the control area between the two sides north of Macheng was Xiaojieling, the Red Turban Army controlled the old Yinshan Pass in the north, and the Hongguang Chao in the south controlled the defense system composed of the three passes of Hutou Pass, Yinshan Pass Xin Pass, and Huangtu Pass.

In fact, the two sides basically had such a confrontation in the Dabie Mountains.

Because the Red Turban Army never planned to attack from this direction, the two sides always maintained a confrontation, but business travel was free to pass.

Then the information was continuously relayed from Yinshan Pass through the inn and took three days to finally be delivered to Yang Feng. Even Yingtian might not even know it at this time.

As for how the battle situation there develops at this time, it is unknown here.

However, there will be no major changes in such a short time, because there is no army to be mobilized in the upper reaches of Wuchang. In addition to various passes in Jiangbei, there are only one brigade of Chengtian and Suizhou, each of which is closest to Suizhou. At this time, the Fu River was barely open to navigation. Although it was just a small wooden boat, it was more than 400 miles from Suizhou to Wuchang because of the bent river channel. With their efficiency, it would definitely not be able to complete the message transmission of the army and then go to the 400 miles of water.

As for the downstream Jiujiang, heavy troops gathered.

When you arrive in Wuchang County, you have to go upstream for 300 miles.

That would be even less possible.

"Fang Hanlin, what do you think about this?"

Yang Feng then looked at Fang Congzhe, who was facing melancholy.

The latter was forced by him, and he sent a division to line up outside Guide City, and then formally sent the invitation letter.

Fang Congzhe had no choice but to come over.

After all, the invitation letter is followed by heavy artillery in the siege.

Besides, he knew that Yang Feng would not have taken any beheading action against him. Yang Dashui really wanted to kill him, so he would have gone there to give him a happy ending.

"It's just a mutiny and civilian change. It's not just a mutiny that you incite mutiny and civilian change once in the past. This time it was just a spy sent by you, who incited chaos among the people. Why do you need to say so righteous? I think the death of the King of Chu is just a frame-up."

Fang Congzhe regained his calmness and said calmly.

Of course, he was already in tears at this time.

What they feared most was this kind of thing, but now it has not only happened, but the scale has obviously exceeded their worst ideas. Especially since this civil rebellion took place in Wuchang, which was the largest military base of the Hongguang Dynasty. Regardless of whether it could be pacified in the end, the military industry of the Hongguang Dynasty would inevitably suffer a heavy blow. Even if there is Jiangxi, it is difficult to maintain military supplies. Jiangxi's scale is originally smaller than that, and it is not only a military industry, but also the main industrial base of the Hongguang Dynasty's current exports.

That's money.

The reason why Hongguang Dynasty has not collapsed due to a long stalemate in recent years, but that it has always been sufficient for various places to make it point out that industrialization is pointed out.

The steel products that spread outward through the Yangtze River, Han River, and Xiang River have brought endless wealth to the gentry in various places. In addition, the grain that was originally exported to the outside world, Huguang is now a place where wealth gathers. Although the imperial court's tax revenue was indeed limited, all the local gentry were very rich, and their money supported the military system designed by Xiong Tingbi.

This is the foundation of the Hongguang Dynasty.

In a sense, the Hongguang Dynasty was supported by two major mines, one copper and one iron.

"You really wronged me. I can declare that this matter has nothing to do with me. I have agreed with you to join the alliance next year, so I will not deal with you before that.

But I'm very happy.

They finally woke up without my guidance.

They already know that instead of enduring your exploitation and then relying on me to save it, it is better to do it yourself and use their own hands to fight for a good day for themselves. This is a thing worth celebrating, although it is a nightmare for you. On the dry grassland in autumn, throwing a torch will trigger a prairie fire. I believe that it will not take long before you will see the soldiers and civilians of cities picking up weapons on the land under your control.

They will kill all the gentry.

They will hang all factory owners.

They will cut off all corrupt officials' heads.

Although you describe me as a demon, saying that I eat people, and the green face and fangs I describe are like demons who choose to eat people.

But you know very well that I am a very restrained person, and I even respect life very much.

Look at the dam under our feet. I will take people to build the Yellow River, look at the reservoirs in Huainan, I will do water conservancy, and I am still leading people to reclaim land and promote good seeds to them. Under my governance, the originally deserted areas along the Huai River are now fertile and fertile fields.

I am avoiding deaths due to war and famine as much as possible.

In order to control the damage caused by the war, I have been advancing slowly to ensure order as much as possible. I did kill people when dealing with gentry, but this controllable death is not worth mentioning compared to the real wars in ancient times where bones were exposed in the wild.

But now…”

Yang Feng looked at the busy construction site in front of him.

All around them are migrant workers who are repairing the Yellow River Dam.

These militias from all over the country were summoned to build river embankments. Yingtian court paid the money. These militias came with their own food. As for the Guide to Kaifeng section, they were the manpower organized by Fang Congzhe in Henan. However, their section was relatively safe. Most of the Yellow River breaches in the late Ming Dynasty were in Xuzhou. Especially between Xuzhou and Guide. After all, the terrain gap in this section was too small, and it can almost be regarded as no gap. The slowing flow rate caused the sediment to deposit rapidly, and finally had to tie the water to attack the sand.

However, the result of water conquering sand is that the river channel narrows. Once the flood surges during the flood season, it will easily collapse when the embankment is not strong enough.

Finally, the Yellow River flooded Huaibei.

Yang Feng has no good idea now. If he does not bind water to attack sand, he will accelerate the accumulation of silt. If he binds water to attack sand, he must face possible dam breaking at any time.

He can only continue to strengthen the dam now in order to ensure maximum safety.

Moreover, in Xuzhou, we use our resource advantages to produce large quantities of cement, and then use cement to local reinforcement on these embankments, but it is impossible to solve it fundamentally.

"The flood is about to destroy the dam, and the flood that breaks the dam does not recognize you as a phoenix and a grandson, a wealthy family."

He continued.

"What do you want?"

Fang Congzhe said.

"Of course I took advantage of the situation to rob. I was just trying to avoid death, but if I couldn't avoid it, I might as well kill the sea of ​​blood. I ordered Yingtian and the Yangtze River Navy to march into Hukou and told Xiong Tingbi that we should ensure the safety of the Huguang Red Turban Army. If Xiong Tingbi dares to stop it, it will be considered a full-scale war."

Yang Feng said.

"Prime Minister, what is the Red Turban Army in Huguang?"

The staff officer beside him looked confused.

"Are you a comrade in Wuchang?

They all slapped the Red Turban Army's flag and shouted that they were the Red Turban Army, so of course we regard them as comrades!

Since they are comrades, we cannot bully them. When they need them, no matter where they are, we must provide support to them, even if they are in the Hongguang Anti-Party Control District. If the Hongguang Anti-Party Control Party attacks us because of this, then they will provoke a war, which will not be considered as breaking our promises. After all, they will provoke a war first.

Since they dare to provoke a war, of course we must stop the alliance and destroy them with force.

Do you understand?"

Yang Feng said.

"I understand, what if there is such a thing again in the future?"

The staff officer asked with a smile.

"Same, no matter where we are, as long as it is the Red Turban Army, we will not allow others to bully our comrades. Alas, Fang Hanlin, why are you leaving? Don't leave, let's talk about it."

Yang Feng shouted at Fang Hanlin who was running towards the war horse.

Fang Hanlin ran to the horse without looking back, then got on the horse as fast as possible, without hesitation, and began to run towards Guide. The personal soldiers guarding behind him then reacted and quickly got on the horse to chase. Fang Hanlin, who was anxious, quickly disappeared from his sight...

What a big deal to talk about!

Go back quickly and notify Xiong Tingbi as quickly as possible, so that he can suppress it as quickly as possible, otherwise the Red Turban Army should have advanced westward.

At that time, did they fight or not?

"Fang Hanlin is still so anxious."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

The staff officer next to him looked at him with inquiring eyes.

"I just gave an order, but told them to try to be deterrent, and I should not fight if I can fight. I need to take action in this way."

Yang Feng said.
