If you want to completely destroy the foundation of the gentry and power, this is the most critical place.

And if you want to carry out land reform here, it is estimated that it will make a river of blood, because every family here is related to the court, and even now there are people who are officials and become the family's protective umbrella.

But so what? Could it be that this is the reason why they did not carry out land reform?

No, I just want to stabilize the rear, and then go all out to clean up this area, completely destroy the foundation of the southeast gentry, and control Zhejiang, Fujian and Nanzhili.

For this reason, Jiang Dahai blocked the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the northbound shipping lane, and divided the blockade zone along the Yangtze River, and Zheng Ying and others made a fuss south of Hangzhou Prefecture, sealing the road to the south and prohibiting people from Hangzhou Prefecture from continuing to go south.

Subsequently, before the Northern Expedition of the Nanjing Army, 30,000 Jizhen soldiers controlled Yingtianfu and Guangdefu, and blocked the road to the west, and earlier, more than 200 Heishui troops brought by Jiang Dahai entered this area and began intelligence spying and monitoring missions.

Don't let their communication with the outside world be successful.

In order to now, let Xie He free up his hands to carry out an unprecedented land reform in the Suzhou and Hangzhou regions, completely destroy the powerful power of the gentry, and uproot the foundation of the northern court.

If these people had brains, if they had a keen sense of smell, they would have been able to smell a little strange smell, knowing that they were in fact surrounded, but they might not have known what was going on in south-central Zhejiang and Fujian, which were separated from them by a Hangzhou prefecture.

Fortunately, Xiao Ruxun's arrival in Nanjing and Ye Mengxiong's declaration of Xu Hongji set off a more violent debate in this area, attracting their attention and making them pay more attention to the debate over orthodoxy rather than the land reform south of Hangzhou.

When Xie He sharpened his knife and sent troops and elite members of the land reform working group to the Hangzhou government, they were also divided into two factions, and engaged in fierce debates about whether the Taichang little emperor that Shen had always supported was the orthodox emperor.

They thought that the reason why they were blocked was that they did not express their stance for a long time, and they did not express their support for the rebel army in the south or the court in the north, which made Xiao Ruxun block them, it didn't matter in the short term, they couldn't stand it for a long time, so they should send someone to Nanjing to negotiate with Xiao Ruxun as soon as possible.

However, their internal opinions have not been unified, and some people scolded Shen for smearing the saint's children, and the saint's disciples actually deposed the king, did he think he was Huo Guang? Or Yi Yin? actually used a coup d'état to depose the orthodox emperor, where is the majesty of the Ming Dynasty? Where is the legal system of the imperial court?

These people angrily claimed that Shen had always been a national thief and a Confucian rebel, and that Shen had been expelled from school and expelled from the literati family.

And the other part of the people are the heads of the major families, they are more well-informed, they know that they need to bet on the time, the battle between the north and the south is about to be decided, Shen has always been finished, as long as he can't get through the route of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and can't get food, he will be finished, and the last hope Li Hualong is also finished.

Shen has always had no strength to fight anymore, he only has the strength to survive, he doesn't have much food in his hands to support a big battle, and the nine-sided army will ignore him if there is no food supply, maybe they will make trouble to respond to Xiao Ruxun.

When the million-strong army gathered outside the capital city, it was the time when Shen had always killed himself to thank the world, because he had been abandoned by the world.

So it's obvious who to bet on, don't think about it, it's normal to bet on Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun flaunts his loyalty and orthodoxy, isn't the purpose for this?

But he didn't come to negotiate with the pillars of these countries, didn't come to them to discuss the distribution of interests with the pillars of these countries, but instead used soldiers and horses to isolate them, which is too disrespectful.

They don't think so, because if they do that, there will be no scholars in the world who will help him, and if there are no scholars to help him, how can he govern the world?

Therefore, he must find here, find them, and discuss the future of the country with them, the real bigwigs who control the court remotely.

But he didn't come, and he led people north to fight, which was simply too rude.

They are still waiting.

However, they no longer have a chance, if they had been earlier and more sincere, Xiao Ruxun might have left some incense for them in the face of the talents they had cultivated.

But I have to say that Xiao Ruxun really hates Qin Huai Fengyue, hates talented and beautiful women very much, and hates drunken gold fans very much.

When the Qing soldiers went south, they were still drunk in the wind and moon, and when the Qing soldiers fought outside the city, they woke up like a dream.

Qin Huai Fengyue ended under the butcher's knife of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

These bloodsuckers who claim to be the pillars of the country, Xiao Ruxun doesn't need them.

At the beginning of November, when the weather turned cold, Zheng Ying led the army into the territory of Hangzhou Prefecture, and the resistance army of Hangzhou Mansion was like tofu, which broke in a shot, the cannon did not sound a few times, and the fire rope was not lit yet.

On November 6, the city of Hangzhou was taken, and on November 8, the entire territory of Hangzhou was taken, and the starting point of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was also controlled.

The intelligence here has been almost searched by the Blackwater Army, which family, which household, how many people, how much land, how many children are studying abroad, and how many children are officials abroad, these are generally clear.

Zheng Ying's troops did not stop and continued to move north, and Huzhou Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion were also included in the scope of the attack, and the artillery rumbled, shocking the earth, waking up the drunken dream.

Xiao Ruxun's army began to attack Huzhou Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion, the offensive was extremely fierce, Hangzhou Mansion had been defeated, the whole territory had fallen, Huzhou Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion were defeated like a mountain, they couldn't hold it at all, looking at their appearance, the next target seemed to be Songjiang Mansion!

The hometown of the former Shoufu Xu Jie!

Although Xu Jie is dead, the Xu family is still prosperous in this area, covering an area of more than 200,000 mu, the fact that there is no change, the Xu family has become the first wealthy family in Songjiang Mansion, but this is useless, Xiao Ruxun named to get rid of the Xu family.

Such a good piece of land will also become an economic center in the future, if the land belongs to the Xu family, then what is it?

Xu Jie and Xu Guangqi have nothing to do with each other, and Xiao Ruxun doesn't have anything to worry about, but he just told Xie He to pay attention to protecting Xu Guangqi's family when he killed the Xu family, and then allocate them a little more land to take care of, that's all.

After all, Xu Guangqi is currently helping Xiao Ruxun in the military research institute in northern Myanmar to study flintlock and mini bullets, such a big talent in science and technology should be used well, he is different from those old craftsmen who only understand empiricism, he is a talent who can summarize, relying on him, maybe he can jump out of the cycle of empiricism.

In the post-Confucian gentry and powerful era, Xiao Ruxun also counted on relying on Xu Guangqi to start a new wave of the trend of the times.
