Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

"kill!!!"

The servants could no longer hold back and drew their swords, responding one after another.

However, a muffled sound brought everyone's happiness to an abrupt end.

"What's going on!"

"Peng!"

The body of a servant fell limply to the ground.

Through the night vision goggles, the figures of these servants are extremely clear above the green land.

"two"

The calm tone tells of the disappearance of two lives.

"Old Third! What happened to you, Old Third! Old Third is dead! Old Third is dead! There's an ambush!!"

"What!!"

The original enthusiasm in my heart instantly turned into a mess. There is an ambush here. Doesn’t that mean?

"click"

The crisp sound of mechanical loading was heard, followed by a violent roar!

The shotgun is known as the king of close combat because its lethality in short-range conflicts is unmatched. The large number of steel balls buried in the No. 1897 bullets allow it to kill a large area with one shot. During World War II, the U.S. military with the only needed to fire two shots left and right in the trench to clear the entire trench. As the gunshots went off, nearly ten people fell on the spot.

Click, ding, ding, ding...

The sound of loading the gun and the sound of bullet casings falling to the ground were like death-threatening chains.

"Ten, little 416"

"hateful!!!"

Volume 186: Chapter Chapter : Get ready to take action!

As soon as Yangzhou was captured, the news was sent to the two capitals at an express speed of 800 miles. Nanjing, which was closer, learned of the fall of Yangzhou the next day.

The Ming Dynasty had two capitals and thirteen provinces. Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty was also very unique. Multiple capitals had appeared in ancient times, and most of them served as secondary capitals for the convenience of local management. However, after Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty moved the capital to Beijing, Beiping became Beijing, and the six ministries and units in Nanjing were not abolished, which led to a very interesting phenomenon.

One court, two administrative teams.

In order to avoid chaos in the management of officials, this team in Nanjing, although no different in rank from that in Beijing, has much less actual power and is basically just a decoration.

The officials here were either old and came here to retire, or were demoted here because they were unpopular, just like Hai Rui. After Hai Rui's actions against Emperor Jiajing, although Emperor Jiajing was impressed by him and suddenly had a moment of brilliance in his later years, it was really annoying to have such a big troll around, so he was simply sent to Nanjing to be the second-rank Nanjing Right Censor-in-Chief.

Nominally he was promoted to the second rank of vice-state level, but the position of Nanjing Right Censor-in-Chief was actually a ministerial-level cadre.

The fall of Nanjing was such a serious event that officials in Nanjing soon began to discuss it in court meetings.

They have no right to mobilize troops privately and can only wait for the emperor's order before making arrangements. But at the moment, it is very important for everyone to pull each other's skin in the court and show that everyone is working hard.

The Jiangnan area is the base camp of the Donglin Party. So even though most of the people in Nanjing are retired officials, there are still many members of the Donglin Party. Even though so many of them are just for show and have relatively low real power, their rank means they are senior officials anyway, and their words still carry weight.

There was basically no conflict of opinion on the issue of Yangzhou. Everyone unanimously stated that it must be taken back. Not to mention that such a big thing had happened in Jiangnan, which was Donglin's private territory, but there were actually rebels who captured a city on the edge of Nanjing and they themselves were completely unaware of this. If they were to investigate in detail, I'm afraid three or five heads would not be able to stop them.

There are many purposes for holding a meeting, one is to shift the blame and find someone to take the blame. The then Yangzhou magistrate, Wang Dang, naturally could not escape the blame. Yangzhou's governance was ruined under his diligent efforts, so he cannot shirk his responsibility. Secondly, to make the pot bigger and then shift the blame. With such a big event in Yangzhou, a county magistrate's head could not withstand the wrath of the emperor, so he had to find a few more people, and it would be best if he could drag his political enemies into the water.

The second goal is to find someone who can settle the matter, and it would be best if the main credit goes to our own people.

The third and most important point is to let the superiors see that you and others are working hard.

The most important thing when we work in government is not how hard you work, but to let the superiors see how hard you work.

Sometimes the purpose of a meeting is not to discuss a result, but just to hold a meeting, that’s all.

Everyone knew that arguing in the court before the imperial edict came down would not produce any substantial results, but everyone enjoyed doing it.

You have to know that in the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty, only those who passed the examination and achieved a title of Juren or above could become an official. These were the top students among countless scholars, and basically only one or two could be found in each place. These one or two people would be the pride of the local area for the next few decades.

So they are not stupid, on the contrary, they are very smart, but they use their intelligence in other things.

"Such a big thing could happen right at the foot of the capital. The huge city of Yangzhou was taken down without a single drop of blood. Could it be that the people in the Ministry of War are all good-for-nothings?"

Here it comes, the classic attack.

"Hmph, as far as I know, the rebel who occupied Yangzhou at this time is named Jiang Han Jiang Muzhi. He came to Yangzhou more than a month ago and has been promoting business in the city, winning people's hearts. He has many talented people under him. As soon as he gained a foothold, he wiped out all the bandits in Yangzhou and uprooted the people behind him. Such a person, the ministers of the court were completely unaware of him. My lords, are you all blind?"

When you insult someone, you should expose their weaknesses; when you hit someone, you should hit them in the face. The people in the Ministry of War are no pushovers. You called me a runaway general, and I called you a blind prime minister. Come on, let's hurt each other!

"Okay! Stop arguing!"

The Right Censor-in-Chief came out to stop the situation from escalating: "The most urgent task now is to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible. This villain is not a simple one."

"Since taking over the city, his troops have not only not robbed the people, but have treated them with great courtesy, distributed food in the city, won over the people, established their own court, tried the nobles, and even pulled all the soldiers from the Yangzhou garrison to build the city wall. This thief has great ambitions. If we let him grow stronger, it may cause a disaster. We must not let him stay!"

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to a hundred battles. Jiang Han did not deliberately blockade Yangzhou, and it was still quite easy to enter and exit. Therefore, a large number of spies came to Yangzhou and reported their situation to Nanjing in great detail.

"Indeed, if he acts like this, he must have some evil intentions. He must be killed as soon as possible."

To them, the rebels are not scary. No matter how cruel they are, they are just a group of brainless and unruly people. They can't amount to anything. It's like a strong man pulling their wife up and saying I want to sleep with you. The reality is not some Liu Bei literature. Even if they really do sleep with each other, it's obvious who the stupid people will choose when a fool faces PUA masters like them.

However, Jiang Han is different. This dog Huangmao's rank is obviously ridiculously high. You are the treasure of the world, and I will accompany you to the end. How can those uneducated people withstand this? It is almost a foregone conclusion that the hat is on his head!

Once the people are in favor, chaos will begin in the world!!!

"But, I also heard that this villain is no small matter, with extraordinary combat power. Before he took over Yangzhou, he had a large number of firearms. An army of 10,000 easily disarmed him. Now that he has taken over Yangzhou, he has sufficient weapons and armor, and also has artillery to assist. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with him."

"Humph, they are just petty thieves. They just used some shameful means to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to gain some results. What is there to be afraid of? That thief Li was so powerful before, but he was still beaten and fled in the ravine. A group of rabble, gathering together will only cause more trouble."

"I didn't expect that the Left Minister is so high-spirited. How about you lead the team to quell the rebellion?"

"Ah, my mother is about to give birth, and I need to serve her at this time, which is really inconvenient."

Everyone present couldn't help but roll their eyes.

"My Lords, we must send out troops now. How many troops to send and who will send them are not something we can decide. As the saying goes, food and fodder must go before troops move. Our most urgent task now is to raise food and fodder in preparation for the army's expedition."

"Indeed, the soldiers in the army have not received their salaries for a long time."

The military officers are getting restless now. You've been chatting here for a long time but haven't said a word about the money and food. How can you let us fight you?

Everyone in the court was a little unhappy when they heard this. These old killers, don't you know that talking about money hurts feelings? The emperor's officials are so poor that they have to tighten their belts. How much money can we old men have?

"This... is indeed something we should consider, but the current situation is difficult, the country is in trouble, and the soldiers in the army should also share more of the country's worries..."

Let’s talk about feelings, patriotism and pattern, but we won’t talk about money.

"Yangzhou is a big city with sufficient food and grass, and a strong army. Now that it has been captured by the bandits, it will take tens of thousands of troops to capture it. How can we capture Yangzhou if there is not enough food and grass?"

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry..."

There was a great quarrel in the court, and it was obvious that they would continue to quarrel like this until the imperial edict came down.

Let’s take a look at Jiang Han’s side.

The night battle didn't last long, and these guys died faster than the tree guards could chop you down.

The sound of guns is quite loud. Even with a silencer installed, the sound that could directly deafen the shooter's ears is only reduced to a level within the human ear's tolerance. It is still extremely loud, probably about the same as the sound of a huge firecracker exploding next to your ear, reduced to the volume of an airplane taking off next to your ear. Don't even think about the puff puff sounds like in movies and TV shows.

So the moment the gunshots rang out, the soldiers guarding the granary heard the noise coming from inside the granary and immediately went to check the situation.

"Don't be nervous. There are thieves in the granary. They were discovered by our people. Everyone stay where they are."

"Yes"

Although he was very curious, there were troops guarding the granary that he and others didn't know about? But when he thought about it, the granary was an important place, involving the food problem of tens of thousands of people, so it was not too careful.

The performance of the little 416 is very active, with close shooting, quick reloading, slender movement, and tactical rolls. If it is accompanied by suitable music, it would be like Uzi... possessed by VN.

Because she was outnumbered by her teammates in terms of the number of enemies killed, 416, who considered herself the fastest and strongest, was naturally very unwilling to accept this, even though she was the one who started it.

First, LTLX, who committed the crime of arrogance, took the King of Melee and... cough cough

All in all, seeing how positive Xiao 416 was, LTLX was happy to let her get more attention. She was a very Buddhist person and didn't care much about the performance.

In the end, 416 won the MVP with a total score of 42 people. The second place was LTLX. With only two shots from the shotgun in his hand, he could take away a large group of people. In just a few shots, he had killed more than souls.

Are you going to say, oh, there are only two people in total? Wrong, the third one is Jiang Han... who operates the small plane. As a senior servant, he operates the small plane and hides in various hidden corners. When those servants panic and try to hide, he secretly jumps out to give them a surprise.

The expression on Jiang Han's face was full of sunshine, which made people afraid that his next bid would explode into three boxes.

"Oh, I feel comfortable."

As a veteran FPS player, although Jiang Han's shooting accuracy is not satisfactory, he has always been very good at defense, especially in this game where the biker and I scored 81 points together, which was like a fish in water.

This wave, this wave is the Battlefield 5 small drone!

Jiang Han couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to control the Scorpion Beast. What would it be called? Titanfall, the prequel, Titan in Ming Dynasty?

"Now that we've had enough fun, let's get ready to close the net."

After stretching, Jiang Han turned off the projection and went out to start today's watch work.

"I originally thought that it would be troublesome to get land in Yangzhou, but I didn't expect that Yangzhou is full of big brothers."

"Sir, what does Big Brother Bang mean?"

Pei Huayu didn't quite understand the new words that came out of Jiang Han's mouth.

"Ah, that's... those rich idiots who think they can date you just by spending money."

"oh....."

Pei Huayu nodded, knowing what the gentleman was talking about.

A large number of soldiers filed out and headed straight for Jin Laosan's residence.

Inside the mansion, everyone was opening champagne.

Because the noise of gunfire was very loud, they naturally also heard the noise coming from the granary in the distance, and automatically judged that this was a sign that they had succeeded, and were already halfway to victory!

At this moment, the wealthy people were toasting each other with cups and glasses, their faces flushed with drinking. They were all imagining the future together, imagining that Jiang Han's head would be cut off and they would present it to the court, and then be promoted to higher positions.

"I see that you have the potential to be an official, Mr. Wang. If this is successful, you will definitely be promoted!"

"Hey, Master Sun, you're not bad either!"

Just when the atmosphere of the banquet was getting good, the door of the Jin family was pushed open by someone.

"Jin Lao San! Your crime has been exposed! Kneel down and surrender immediately! Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy!"

"What!!"

The sudden change in style startled everyone, and their alcohol-induced brains hadn't even reacted to what was happening.

At this moment, Jin Lao San was already possessed by the actor, and he was immersed in the play. He said with a righteous look on his face: "Everyone, run! I'll cover you! We can't let those thieves succeed!!"

After his howl, the wealthy people finally realized that something was wrong, the thieves were here to arrest them! They started to run away with red faces, but they were so drunk that they could barely walk, so how far could they run? Many of them gurgled on the ground, knocked over tables, rolled around, and cried for their parents, making a mess.

"Run! Don't worry about me! I will be the one to sacrifice!!"

Mr. Jin stretched out his arms and kept shouting behind him, which moved the wealthy people behind him deeply.

"Jin Lao San is still a loyal and honest man..."

Despite Jin Laosan's "strenuous obstruction", the wealthy people who were drunk could not escape the clutches of the bandits. They were pressed to the ground, tied up with hemp ropes, and had black bags covered on their foreheads.

"Snapped!"

A slap on the back of the head interrupted Jin Laosan's somewhat exaggerated performance. This was only because these people had drunk too much, otherwise no dog would watch his acting skills.

"That's enough, the drunkard has drunk too much and is blocking your way."

"Hey, hey, sir, you, hiccup...you are here"

Jin Laosan was slapped in the face, but he was not angry. He just looked at Jiang Han with a smile.

"I'm here. You did a good job. Leave the rest to me."

Volume 187: Chapter Chapter : Execution

For the executioners in Yangzhou City, they have never hated going to work as much as they do now.

Just a few days ago, they had just completed a big job, a total of about one hundred heads, their hands were so tired from chopping, they took two days to recover at home. Now they have just received the notice and are ready to warm up and make preparations, as this time they are expected to take a big order, that of several hundred people.

In this operation, Jiang Han directly wiped out almost half of the landlord resistance elements in Yangzhou City, which was a once and for all solution. Moreover, all the wealth in the hands of this group of people also flowed back. The large amount of land expansion made Jiang Han's originally empty wallet full again.

All in all, this wave is a winner for *** and prickly ash.

As die-hard rebels, their actions were announced to thousands of households in the city by the volunteer soldiers.
