While Yang Feng was fighting local tyrants in Xinhui to divide the land and vigorously expand the land, Deng Tingzhen in Guangzhou finally understood.

This guy is really a demon!

This is not a pirate who came to loot at all, it is completely a demon with the purpose of upsetting the Qing Dynasty and ruining the beautiful era of this lord and saint and sage, this is the one who came to cause trouble in the world.

But fortunately, Yang Feng did not expand externally.

He just took Xinhui as a base to fight local tyrants in the countryside in the lower reaches of the Tanjiang River and the Xijiang River to carry out land reform, and he was also happy to do it, the Ming warships cruised the two rivers, two battalions of the army were stationed in Jiangmen and other places to block the Qing army, one battalion was mobile to suppress the gentry resistance, and one battalion was responsible for training a locally recruited brigade in Xinhui, controlling this area and then carrying out a thorough transformation. Yang Feng was personally responsible for the construction of the new rural grassroots administrative system in various fields, and at the same time preached, and even carried out compulsory education, even established rural medical teams in various places, and also began to build reserves. But there was no external expansion, after the completion of the control of this area, except for the occasional warship to harass the Qing army upstream, the others basically confronted the Qing army across two rivers and a mountain, the Qing army was not able to attack, and the Ming army did not take the initiative to attack the Qing army, and the two sides directly engaged in a sit-down war.

And this is actually what Deng Tingzhen welcomes.

In spite of Dirk Jinbu's obstruction, he rushed to Peking as fast as he could, and according to the reports of Zhang Qingyun and Guan Tianpei that the thieves' weapons were sharp and the guns of the officers and soldiers could not compete with them, he quickly purchased a large number of flintlock pistols that were said to be equally sharp from the Portuguese in Macao and the British East India Company, which had been prepared for a long time, and replaced the arquebuses that had long been useless in the hands of the Green Battalion.

As for funding......

That's not a problem at all.

The gentry near Guangzhou had been indignant by the demon's atrocities, after all, the circle of dried corpses on the Xinhui city wall was also quite spectacular.

So they fully supported Deng Tingzhen.

Not only that, the gentry in Foshan took advantage of their unique advantages, but also cast a large number of heavy artillery for Guan Tianpei and various forts, and set off a wave of cannon casting craze to catch up with each other, one of the iron furnaces even cast a huge cannon weighing 10,000 catties, which can hit a 60-pound cannonball for more than four miles, and the power is incomparably powerful. And the other 8,000 catties, 6,000 catties of coastal defense heavy artillery is even more numerous, most of these giant cannons are deployed in the forts of Humen Fortress, as for the Qing army green battalion cast field with splitting guns, there is no quantity to say, this thing can be cast in any workshop in Foshan, since you can't make the kind of musket that hits more than one mile, then let the Qing warriors use the sea of artillery to drown these traitors!

In short, the Guangdong gentry can be said to be united, vowing to fight the bandit to the end, and do their best for our Qing Dynasty and the emperor, and then die.

Even group training began to be formed.

Moreover, the gentry in Zhongshan, Foshan, Kaiping, and Heshan also built a large number of fortresses, so that the surroundings of Xinhui were like European feudal manors, and there were many large and small watchtowers in small villages with large landlords as the core, and these watchtowers were all equipped with cannons, and it had to be said that the enthusiasm of these gentry was also very amazing once mobilized, and they even began to learn to imitate Baker's rifle.

It should be said that Deng Tingzhen is indeed a capable minister, the governor of Liangguang at the time of the crow, basically did not make any stupid moves in dealing with Yang Feng's threat, at least he did not engage in toilet tactics like Yang Fang.

All his measures are sensible.

He knew that he couldn't beat Yang Feng hard, and the previous small-scale contact had completely scared the Qing army, less than a hundred of the more than 1,000 Qing troops fled back to Heshan, and there was no chance to escape at all, and the Ming army opened fire from a distance of fifty zhang, and the bullets could pierce two at once, and the Qing army that was preparing to move forward in a dense array was like being pasted by hundreds of cannons with scattered bullets, and it fell almost in the blink of an eye. The rest just reacted and turned around in horror and wanted to run, the second round of guns arrived, and then at this time half of the Qing army fell, and the remaining half ran back like crazy, but before they ran out of ten zhang, the third round of guns arrived, and the whole battle Ming army 800 infantry fired eight rounds of guns, and the other four small guns fired five rounds, and then the battle ended.

From the beginning to the end, the Qing army failed to fire a single shot.

The casualties of the Ming army are also impossible to talk about.

With such a gap in combat effectiveness, even Deng Tingzhen and Zhang Qingyun understand that taking the initiative to attack is simply suicide, and there is still hope of resisting by holding the fortress.

Fortunately, Yang Feng's land reform gave them a chance.

Then he took advantage of this opportunity to do his best to improve the defense of Guangzhou, and blocked Yang Feng in Xinhui with fortresses and a large number of artillery, anyway, it was nothing more than a county, those gentry were all hanging on the city wall, and there was no need to rescue them, besides, why did he go to the rescue, hanging on the city wall could only count them unlucky, however......

"Dismissal?"

Yang Feng sat on the second floor of a restaurant in Guangzhou City, holding a wine glass and said with interest.

At this time, the streets below were crowded with people.

A large number of gentry holding things like Wanmin umbrellas in the front were in tears, and they saluted Deng Tingzhen in the middle, who also kept returning the salute, and someone handed him a wine glass, saying that the scene was also very emotional, after all, at this time, the Governor of Liangguang had no official uniform and hat, but had an extra pair of wooden flail around his neck. Of course, unlike those ordinary prisoners, his wooden flail is basically the lightest, that is, a symbolic torture instrument, and the escort is as respectful as serving the master, in fact, he also has his own servants with him, and it is not just him, poor Zhang Qingyun also followed with a wooden flail with a look of grievance.

The Governor of Liangguang and the two Admirals were not present at the meeting.

They were dismissed from their posts and sent to Ili.

Deng Tingzhen, the governor of Liangguang, delayed the military situation, lost his division and lost his land, dismissed his post and filled the army with Ili, and Zhang Qingyun, the governor of the land route of Guangdong, did not move forward in fear of the enemy and watched the bandits poison Xinhui, and dismissed his post and filled the army in Ili.

It is said that it was originally to be beheaded.

A new member of the imperial history who was an official in Beijing was raided by Yang Feng, and his father and an elder brother were hung on the city wall and dried, pulling a group of imperial historians to bite Zhang Qingyun like mad dogs.

As for Guan Tianpei's bloody battle with the bandits, although he lost, he still worked a little hard after all, and in addition, this water division lacks talents, it is not so easy to find, he has been in Guangdong for many years, and he is not more familiar with this coastal defense than him, so he has become dismissed from his post and served in the army before serving for meritorious service, in short, none of the three giants of the Guangdong Green Battalion are all dismissed, and even the Guangzhou general Deke Jinbu and the governor Yiliang have also been punished.

Then the minister Qi Shan led the governor of Liangguang, and the general Jing was fully responsible for the battle, and the eight banners of the green battalion of Liangguang were all under his control, and the former commander of Xi'an Town, who had been with Yang Yuchun in the Pingbai Lotus Sect, was transferred to the land governor of Guangdong, and Chen Huacheng, the commander of the Fujian Navy, was transferred to the south to reinforce the Navymen of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. And authorized Qi Shan to borrow troops to suppress Kou when necessary, that is, to use the British and Portuguese armies to deal with Yang Feng together, such a joint operation between the two sides is not a time, when dealing with Zheng Yisao's sister-in-law before, it was a joint operation of the three countries, although this is a military secret, but in the Qing Dynasty, the battered official mansion, you can easily know these without Yang Feng's special reconnaissance.

"It's all celebrities!"

Yang Feng couldn't help but sigh.

Qi Shan, Yang Fang, Chen Huacheng, Yang Fang is a wonderful toilet to resist the enemy!

As he spoke, he jumped up with his glass in hand......

"Deng Gong, please drink this cup to the full!"

Then he suddenly fell into the crowd with a scream, and with his feet on an unlucky gentry, he said with a smile, and raised his glass in front of Deng Tingzhen, who was completely petrified, and the gentleman at his feet raised a hand with difficulty, and raised his head with the same difficulty, and then spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then slammed his head on the stone slab, and the hand fell weakly, and the whole person continued to twitch at his feet.

"Where did the madman come from!"

"Take him down!"

……

The gentry on both sides shouted in confusion.

"Deng Gong, please drink this cup to the full!"

Yang Feng held the wine glass with one hand as if he had not heard it, and sent it to Deng Tingzhen and said again.

Deng Tingzhen raised his hand with doubts to signal around, and the gentry who were calling for domestic slaves immediately stopped, only the one under Yang Feng's feet was still scraping the stone slab with his nails, Deng Tingzhen looked at the man in front of him who was wearing a crane and did not wear a Taoist crown on his head, and there was a trace of weirdness in his handsomeness, and then asked cautiously: "Your Excellency?" ”

"I am an immortal in the heavenly realm, and the god of Haotian is in turmoil with the demons in the world, so he sent me to the lower realm to eliminate demons for the people!"

Yang Feng said seriously.

"Where did the demon goist talk nonsense, quickly take him down and send him to the county office, thinking that you can escape the royal law by making up a pretense of immortals, do you still want to get away with it when you kill Liu Jiansheng?"

A gentleman next to him angrily reprimanded.

"Did you say him? He's not a human, he's a demon! ”

Yang Feng looked at the unlucky guy under his feet and said with a smile.

The latter finally stopped scratching the slate, but his legs were straightened, and it was evident that he had taken his last breath.

"Ridiculous, you're the demon!"

The gentry continued to rebuke.

At the same time, the surrounding gentry reprimanded angrily, but they were not stupid, they obviously realized something, the house slaves behind them stepped forward with weapons, and Deng Tingzhen did not speak, just looked at Yang Feng deeply, but his hand made a gesture to Zhang Qingyun behind his back, Zhang Qingyun immediately called the official who escorted them and whispered a few words, the official was stunned for a moment, but then turned around and left as fast as possible.

At this time, Yang Feng picked up the gentry at his feet, and lifted the dead body to show it around.

"Do you say he's human?"

He asked with a smile.

"Nonsense, of course he's human!"

The gentry said in unison.

"No, he's a demon, he's a pig demon, don't believe you!"

Yang Feng said.

As soon as he finished saying this, the face of the dead corpse seemed to have countless insects wriggling under the skin, and it began to twist strangely, and this terrifying sight frightened the surrounding people to scream immediately, but those onlookers still had the courage to continue watching, but their exclamations did not stop, because in the distortion of the face, a pig's nose slowly arched out of the face, and the ears on the other two sides were also rapidly enlarged, and even the fangs of two wild boars came out of the mouth, and soon the fat face of the gentry became a pig's head.

There was a dead silence all around.

"Look, he's a monster!"

Yang Feng held up the dead corpse and said with a smile.

The frightened screams around rang out wildly, and both the onlookers and the gentry were all stupid, looking at Liu Jiansheng's pig's head in amazement.

"He's a demon, and you're a demon too."

Yang Feng pointed at those and said.

"And the Tartar emperor in Beijing is also a demon, you are all demons, you are all demons who are troubled in this world, you are embarrassed, you feed on the flesh and blood of the people, take the suffering of the people as pleasure, let the land of China be filled with demon fog, let this splendid mountains and rivers be full of suffering, you dare to say that you are not a demon? You let the common people be unclothed and hungry, you let them struggle in the darkness of suffering, they sell their sons and daughters, they are hungry and cold, they are bleeding and sweating, and you are stepping on their bones, brocade clothes, jade food, singing and dancing, you dare to say that you are not demons? You are demons, you are all demons, leading beasts to eat people and bloodthirsty and fat demons, Haotian God ordered me to eliminate demons in the lower realm, except for you, destroy the demons and return me to a bright and prosperous world. ”

He then shouted.

Suddenly, he threw the dead body and reached out and lifted the nearest gentleman by the neck.

The gentry struggled and screamed, but his head turned into a dog's head in the blink of an eye, the house slave holding the knife next to him screamed and ran away, and then Yang Feng threw the dead body and grabbed the next one, the gentry around him reacted and immediately screamed and ran away, Yang Feng walked among them leisurely, constantly grabbing the fleeing gentry one by one, and then turned his head into a beast head in a blink of an eye, while those ordinary people knelt down one after another and bowed to this fairy.

Deng Tingzhen behind him let out a long sigh and stood there silently watching this scene.

"Quick, catch that demon!"

Zhang Qingyun shouted anxiously behind him.

A group of soldiers who came in a hurry hurriedly raised the flintlock pistol in their hands, and regardless of whether there were still people in front of them, they pulled the trigger one after another, and the bullets hit Yang Feng densely, but they bounced away in a chaotic manner, and in the frightened shouts of those Qing soldiers, Yang Feng suddenly turned around.

"Duke Deng, it's a long way to Yili, I hope Gonggong is good and cherishes himself!"

He said with a smile.

Suddenly, he soared into the sky, headed straight to the southwest, and disappeared into the rows of buildings.

"Quick, that demon is going to the city!"

Deng Tingzhen screamed without hesitation.
