Ancestors, please don't crawl out again.

Chapter 29 Emperor Taizu Gao's Teletubbies
Yang Feng's pursuit finally ended in Chizhou.

Because Ajige went into the ravine.

This was actually the only choice for the Qing army. After all, in this situation, even if they could continue up the river, they would eventually be blocked at Hukou.

Their navy has completely collapsed.

Those Ming navy troops who surrendered, not to mention those whose warships were destroyed by Yang Feng, even those that were not destroyed, headed directly to the north bank and abandoned their ships and went ashore as deserters. Being captured by the Qing army would have been a high risk of execution, but deserters who went to the north bank could find a place to hide first, and once their hair grew back, they could become refugees. Ultimately, they had followed Ajige because they still had a glimmer of hope, hoping to escape back to Wuchang and still occupy the upper reaches.

Besides, even if Wuchang cannot be captured, we can continue to flee to the north.

They can also burn, kill and loot.

They just like to burn, kill and loot.

but now……

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!
So Ajige continued to flee along the river. Not only was it impossible for him to cross the lake mouth, but he also had to endure the monster's pursuit...

There is no place to hide.

From Chizhou to Hukou, there was no road along the way that was more than ten miles away from the Yangtze River, and the monster had attacked the Qing army as far as fifteen miles from the river bank, and it could also enter the river mouths and even lakes along the way.

This thing has a draft of only one and a half meters, and can basically enter any waters along the river where merchant ships can pass.

Drilling into the ravine is the only option.

From Chizhou, they marched through the mountainous region to Jiande, and from Jiande to the eastern shore of Poyang Lake. The rest of their journey back to Huguang was unimportant, as at this point, except for Jiujiang and several counties along the river, the rest of Jiangxi was still under Ming control. If Ajige had the ability, he could have fought his way through Jiangxi and fought his way back to Wuchang. Otherwise, he would have been isolated, like a bandit, and his entire army would have been wiped out in Jiangxi.

But even so, they didn't want to face that demon again.

Of course they could guess who summoned the monster.

Chizhou.

"You all know my rules, so just jump down obediently.

You deserve to fall to death.

If you are not dead, it means that God Haotian has forgiven you.

This is God’s will.”

Yang Feng, standing on the deck, looked at the panicked Chizhou gentry on the city wall.

The latter actually also brought young and strong men to block the Qing army from entering the city.

The Qing army had already collapsed. Once it entered Chizhou, it would inevitably fight a desperate battle. At that time, both the gentry and the poor in Chizhou would be buried with them, just like when Li Dingguo attacked Xinhui. At that time, even their own women might have to be offered to the Qing army as military rations.

The only option was to block the Qing army outside Chizhou City.

So everyone who could move in the city climbed onto the city wall, including the women, and threw stones.

Some houses were demolished.

There was indeed a reason why Ajige could not enter Chizhou City because he hid in the ravine.

"Emperor Taizu Gao, although I did not resist before, I was forced to do so. I have never changed my loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. Now, to protect Chizhou, I have even spent all my wealth. I beg Emperor Taizu Gao for mercy."

An old local official said crying.

The other gentlemen all said that they had done their best.

Although we surrendered before, we have turned the tables now.

You want us to dance?

It's better to be reasonable as a person.

"Since you are also a Jinshi, then tell me what loyalty is? You said that you surrendered to the Qing demon out of helplessness, so now you surrender to me, are you also forced to do so? In a few days, I will leave and the Qing demon will come back. Can you still say that you were forced to do so and surrender to the Qing demon again? You have calculated it well! In the future, no matter who comes, you can say that you were forced to do so and then surrender. In the end, those truly loyal ministers died in bloody battles to protect the country, and even their clans died. The original noble families were gone, but people like you are forced to do so no matter who comes, because you kneel comfortably and keep your family.

Continue to live in prosperity and wealth.

Because there was nothing to fight for, you even became the largest family in the area, and even swallowed up the land of those loyal and righteous people who had died.

In the future, you will have a high official position, generous salary, and thousands of acres of fertile land.

How can we be worthy of those truly loyal ministers who have served the country?
I won't give you a chance.

Losing one's chastity is like losing one's virginity. Do you say that widows can't remarry, but on the other hand, you can open the door and welcome anyone who comes? Loyalty is loyalty. There is no such thing as being forced. If loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal.

Jump now, don't wait for me to do anything."

Yang Feng said.

The old official cried bitterly, but he just didn't want to jump.

The people around were all watching coldly.

Because the distance was relatively far and they had been blocked upstream by the Qing army, they did not know much about the situation downstream, so their enthusiasm for the Emperor Taizu Gao in front of them was limited. However, the gentry jumping off the city wall was always welcomed.

"Monster, you monster, you are not the Taizu Gao Emperor, you are the monster pretending to be the Taizu Gao Emperor. Heaven has brought disaster upon the Ming Dynasty by giving birth to this monster!"

A gentry suddenly howled, as if in a state of collapse, before throwing himself upon a Portuguese cannon guarding the city. With bloodshot eyes, he unhesitatingly thrust the matchlock into the ignition hole. The next moment, the Portuguese cannon erupted in flames, and the shotgun shells within roared out, firing the first salvo against the evildoers. Although he hadn't aimed, the shotgun shells were still within Yang Feng's range...

"So, this is what you really mean?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and the Fang Tian Hua Ji appeared instantly.

The next moment, the Fang Tian Hua Ji turned into golden light and shot out, hitting the gentleman directly, then carried him around the city and returned to Yang Feng's hands.

The gentleman fell off the deck.

Yang Feng looked down at him with blood gushing out of his mouth...

"Monster, monster!"

He said weakly.

"Let me tell you a secret. You are right. I am really not your Emperor Taizu Gao." Yang Feng lowered his head and whispered as if telling him a secret.

then……

"But I'm such a monster!"

He continued.

The next moment he suddenly stepped on the guy's head.

The latter's head was like a crushed watermelon.

Yang Feng just stepped on him and looked at the city wall.

"If you jump and kill one person, your whole family will be killed if you don't jump. Also, this Yi San tribe."

He said.

The old local official struggled to climb up the parapet, then jumped down crying, and hit the bamboo growing below. The other gentry were very sensible and climbed up the parapet and jumped down as well. However, a few of them did not die from the fall. After all, the Chizhou resistance gentry headed by Wu Yingji were still resisting in Shidai at that time.

"I asked you to jump as the Emperor Taizu Gao, but you refused and even bargained with me. Now you think I'm a monster and you jump with joy. I think you are just worthless. I'm telling you straight up, I'm a monster. Now let me ask you, am I a monster or the Emperor Taizu Gao?"

Yang Feng shouted.

"Emperor Gaozu!"

"This student pays homage to the Emperor Taizu Gao!"

……

The descendants of the gentry shouted "Long live the emperor" without hesitation.

"Tell me again, am I a demon or the Emperor Taizu Gao?"

Yang Feng shouted.

"Long live the Emperor Taizu Gao!"

……

There was a roar of cheers on the city wall.

At this time, a cavalryman came galloping.

"Reporting to the Great Ancestor, the cavalry vanguard has reached Digang. Many Qing monsters along the way have surrendered and are awaiting punishment. When I arrived, the civilians along the way had already left the city to pursue the Qing monsters."

He dismounted, knelt down and kowtowed.

These cavalrymen were very fast, and they could be said to have galloped for nearly two hundred miles. As for the fact that the messenger could arrive so quickly, it meant that the post stations along the way had resumed normal operations. This was not surprising. After all, the Qing army had maintained the post stations before, and now that the Qing army had run away, the post stations could not run away. Even the postmen were probably still the same. In order to obtain amnesty, they would of course do their best to ensure that the letter arrived as quickly as possible.

"Go back and tell the King of Qi that the Qing monster has entered the mountains and is heading for Jiande. I will go to Dongliu to stop it. Next, the Qing monster will inevitably turn to Poyang. All armies continue to pursue it. In addition, send troops to Huizhou. Anyone who dares to stop it will be killed without mercy. After I stop the Qing monster in Dongliu, I will go to Poyang alone and make sure to annihilate the Qing monster in the mountains.

Along the way, the Qing monsters abandoned many warships, which could be transported by water to Poyang for reinforcement.

Anyone who obstructs will be killed without mercy in Jiangxi."

Yang Feng said.

"Little Zongzhi."

The cavalryman said quickly.

"Repeat it again."

Yang Feng said.

The latter hurriedly repeated it.

Yang Feng then looked up at the city wall.

"You, select 10,000 young and strong men to follow the Qing Yao in pursuit."

he shouted.

The people on the city wall quickly agreed.

As for how to organize it, Yang Feng doesn’t need to worry about it.

Although those gentry were forced to jump, their clansmen and nephews did not. If these people wanted to atone for their crimes, they could only find ways to organize young and strong people themselves. Just like the old local official said, they could just take out the money from their families. It would be very simple if they had money.

Yang Feng did not delay any further and went straight back to the cabin and continued forward.

The next step was to block the Qing army in the mountainous area between Poyang and Jiande, and prevent them from turning to Huizhou when they were desperate. Therefore, reinforcements were needed to block this route. Pursuing this route was a non-issue. Although the Qing army was cavalry, they had abandoned all their supplies and could not move very fast in the mountains. The Ming army, numbering hundreds of thousands, would reach Chizhou and begin pursuit in three or four days at most. The key was to block the Qing army.

It’s best to get stuck in the mountains.

So they can't be allowed to cross the stone gate.

Yang Feng quickly accelerated to fifty knots, breaking through the waves on the Yangtze River, and then drove straight past Anqing. In order to ensure that the Qing army would not flow eastward and continue to flee along the Yangtze River, he went directly into Shengjin Lake. As soon as he arrived at a small fishing port on the south bank, he encountered the vanguard of the Qing army. After being bombarded by him, they were so scared that they turned around.

That's it.

These frightened birds will no longer continue to flee along the Yangtze River.

He hurried out of Shengjin Lake, then sped across Dongliu, a scene of consternation along the way, all the way to the lake's mouth, where it turned into Poyang Lake. He then continued onward, traveling at fifty knots an hour, a speed that would take a cavalryman a whole day. He continued onward through the night, and at dawn, amidst the chaos, he landed the missile boat in Raozhou, or rather, outside Poyang City...

"The royal family, the royal family also has to go to the battlefield, even if it's a group of pigs, they have to go."

Yang Feng looked at the city in front of him.

Well, he was going to force the Huai Wang family in the city to go to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

Emperor Taizu Gao is here.

All descendants have to follow Emperor Taizu Gao and charge into battle.

After all, there are thousands of men, women, young and old!
There is no pressure to collect 1,000 men, what great Teletubbies.
