"June, you can't catch us and join the army! The family is pointing at us to support the whole family!"

The officer shouted angrily: "Shut up and listen to me!"

This voice shocked everyone! The officer then continued, "If you want to join the army, I don't want that! Tell you that, we will build barracks, forts, and docks on the island, and we need labor. We will pay according to the day and take care of food every day!"

These soldiers and the people were stunned when they heard the officers say this! When did the official army arrest people and pay money and food?

The officer smiled proudly and said, "Do you think we are the official army? No, we are the soldiers from Shandong!"

Originally, the officer expected to see a look of surprise or surprise on these people's faces, but he saw a confused look! Only then did he realize that these people were simply blocked from news and did not know what the difference between Shandong soldiers and Ming soldiers?

This time, Liu Pei's dispatch of a large army was different from before, that is, he did not raise the Ming Dynasty flag, but only raised his own military flag!

This decision was made by Liu Pei. Because at this time, Liu Pei's size was too large and he could no longer hide, and he didn't need to hide! Moreover, after Liu Pei made the decision to rob and kill the Southern Ming delegation, it meant that he had completely broken up with the Southern Ming court!

The officials in the Southern Ming court were not fools. Perhaps the struggle for power and profit made them give up their perception of the outside world, resulting in a bit slow reaction. However, when something happened to the mission, they did not need evidence to know that it was Liu Pei who did it! So Liu Pei simply decided to officially reveal his flag!

But Liu Pei did not use tough measures alone. He launched all channels to build momentum for himself!

The first thing to use was the spies placed in the south by the Intelligence Bureau. They worked hard to portray Liu Pei as a wise king of eternal times! The focus was on allocating land to farmers!

They dressed up as hawkers and traveled through villages and villages, constantly promoting this incident. However, they completely ignored that the north was undergoing large-scale wars and population declined, and naturally many land was vacant.

Of course, these farmers were half-believing and half-doubted at first, but after listening too much, they naturally believed it! Then they became yearning for them.

, I hope my wife can also share the land when she calls her!

What they motivated was the officials at all levels. Not to mention anything else, the Xin Gui Army, who could be officials, had already touched the minds of these people!

These people have been officials for generations. Although they are unparalleled in front of ordinary people, they always lower their bodies in front of real officials! Moreover, they feel that they are familiar with practice and understand the local government, and are definitely much stronger than those Jinshi masters who can only recite poems and write correctly! So they are very much looking forward to Liu Pei coming over to fulfill their dream of changing their families!

The third group of people are those merchants who cooperate with Liu Pei's business system. These merchants purchased a large amount of materials and luxury goods from Liu Pei and made huge profits, so they did not want Liu Pei to fail no matter what! They even hoped that Liu Pei could continue to be strong and they could make more profits!

You know, Jiangnan has never been baptized by the war and has always been a place where Liu Pei focuses on dumping luxury goods. Even the Jiangnan region has purchased a large amount of food from Liu Pei in recent years to fill the gap!

Because under Liu Pei's policy of supporting the sea trade, Wu Yizhou appeared as a pirate king and sold a large amount of goods, which allowed the handicraft industry in the south to develop greatly! The result was that a large amount of farmland was converted into mulberry fields, and the grain output was further reduced! It was even much lower than the normal historical output! This forced Liu Pei to use Southeast Asian food to fill the gap in Jiangnan.

Especially these big merchants need the most money turnover. After receiving the support of Huashu Peak, they are naturally willing to obey Huashu Peak's command. So when Huashu Peak clearly told them that Liu Pei was supporting commercial activities, these merchants immediately began to think of submitting!

So the whole Jiangnan seems very calm, but in fact it is already a surging undercurrent! Unfortunately, the officials and men in the court only care about major affairs in the court, and have always looked down on these farmers, merchants and officials, let alone communicate.

So they didn't know that at the bottom of society, they had already been looking forward to Liu Pei coming! The only thing they could realize was that the taxes were getting smaller and smaller, and the food they collected was getting less and less.

Even so, those senior officials who are obsessed with the fight between "righteous people" and "villain people" did not notice this obvious signal at all!

At the estuary of the Yangtze River, after learning that the troops had controlled Chongming Island, a large number of fleets drove into the Yangtze River! All fleets swept up like long dragons!

The fleet drove not far away and encountered the first naval barracks. When the soldiers of the Ming Navy raised their banner and asked about the other party's purpose, the shells smashed down! The cannons on the walls of the water camp did not even have the chance to shoot, and the artillery position was knocked down!

The brass cannon was either tilted into the cannon position or simply fell into the water, which had no effect at all. There were not many soldiers rushing to the cannon position, but basically all were killed! After being attacked, the alive soldiers did not think about fighting back, but ran away inland at the first sight!

After the officer standing on the flagship found that he had not been resisted, he decisively ordered close-up shooting! After repeatedly sweeping the cannon positions on the city wall, the fleet began to send people to climb the wall. The soldiers took a small boat to approach the water camp, quickly climbed to the city wall and opened the water gate, and more than a dozen warships rushed in!

When they rushed in and prepared to fight back against the enemy, they saw the soldiers on the shore fleeing inland without any idea of ​​starting a war!

The first battleship captain muttered, "I know the above explanation that the Ming Navy's fighting will is very weak and its combat power is also very poor, but I didn't expect it to be so bad!"

The first mate smiled behind him and said, "It's good, it saves us a lot of effort! And there will be a lot of spoils!"

The captain said disdainfully: "I don't want these broken ships for free! Forget it, I can get back some military expenses! Tell the ship behind to lean on it and install the orders above, tow all the warships that can be towed away, and other ships are left."
Chapter completed!
