In fact, at this time, the green camp had already been unbearable.

The Qing army's food supply was increasingly scarce.

Several of the most important grain-producing areas are either controlled by the Holy Religion, or are isolated because of transportation problems, and they can only control the Huaibei provinces, and these provinces have their own problems, only Luxi in Shandong is the grain-producing area, but this grain-producing area is Liu Zhaokui making trouble, although he was defeated, but the damage caused by his previous army cannot be repaired.

He raised his army at the time of the autumn harvest.

Henan is a grain-producing area in modern times, but in this era, the drought and locust plague once every two or three years and the flooding of the Yellow River have kept this land half starved and half full. Otherwise, Beijing would not have been fed by transport, and the situation there is similar to that of Henan, where thousands of years of agricultural production have depleted the fertility of the land, and natural environmental factors have caused drought and locust plagues to linger. Not to mention Shanxi and Shaanxi, where the Ming Dynasty began to embark on the road to destruction, none of these four provinces could afford to provide enough food for the Manchus.

The first granary of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was around Taihu Lake.

But half of it has already gone to Yang Feng.

The other half had surplus grain, but the luck was broken, and the gentry didn't care much about Qianlong.

They do have food.

They can actually ship it by sea if they want to.

But why did they give Qianlong?

Qianlong can't protect them, just rely on the thousands of eight flags in Hangzhou? In the end, they still insist on the banner of the Qing Dynasty only because Yang Feng wants land, if Yang Feng didn't want it, they would have chopped up the Eight Banners of Hangzhou and then worshiped God, they basically formed an alliance with those local officials, that is, in the name of resisting the enemy, a grain of grain will not be transported north.

The same goes for the Su Wan gentry.

Now half of the Qing Dynasty relies on Su Anhui's regimental training, especially Huaiyang's foreign gun team, which is qualified to intercept grain.

In troubled times, this is the most precious thing.

The third granary is the Jianghan Plain.

Needless to say, this one.

The fourth granary is the Sichuan Basin.

But Sichuan's grain has always been to make up for the lack of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Yunnan's finances are all dependent on Sichuan, and it was not handed over to Beijing, and it could not be handed over at this time. That's!

All of Qianlong's original sources of food were cut off.

And the hundreds of thousands of troops in Hailancha, the millions of hardcore crops in Beijing who are not engaged in production have to eat, and there are more than 10,000 mouths in the palace alone, these people can't go hungry, so they can only find a way to open up sources and reduce expenditure. Open source is to increase the looting in the north, but the looting ruthlessly rebelled the people, which is already a big mess in the world, if the north is chaotic again, it will be really over, so it is very important to throttle, the eight banners are the pillars of the Qing Dynasty can not be too much, and the festival can only be a green camp. It just so happened that the continuous defection of the green battalion on the battlefield also made Qianlong angry, and he couldn't send those green battalions who defected, so he could only be angry with the green battalion that had not yet defected, so the green battalion's salary became more and more untimely, and the pension was reduced again and again, and the officers drank the blood of the soldiers and drank harder, and the green battalion of the Qing Dynasty was almost the same as a certain army in later generations.

When the front line of the army was fighting, the wife and children were hungry and cold at home, and even starved to death.

Can you still be faithful in this situation?

The green camp is too cheap.

He Lin's death is the result of more than a dozen Shandong, Zhili and Henan Green Battalion soldiers, and at the same time learned that his relatives in his family had received less than half of the past because of military salaries, coupled with the soaring price of food, he died of poverty and illness for a long time, and even the worst wife fainted from hunger, and a pair of children were left unattended and caused a fire The whole family burned to death. These green battalions can't eat enough, Hailancha's food is insufficient, and it must be given priority to the elite, the green battalion can't starve to death, and the stomach is not fed and the bad news is stimulating just in time for the Holy Sect guerrillas to ambush, those soldiers on the battlefield are noisy, and in an instant, the other soldiers feel the same and respond, they cut the generals of the unified army and the guerrillas together to take down the grain transport team first, and then a few leaders and the guerrilla leaders discuss simply catching a big fish.

I didn't expect to catch a big one.

Caught and Zhongtang's own brother.。

By the time Hailancha got the news and urgently sent troops to rescue He Lin, the green battalion and the guerrillas had already disappeared into Funiu Mountain, leaving him with only He Lin, who had been dismantled.

But the furious Hailancha was helpless.

Because at this time, Yang Zhong's first town had already gone north from Zaoyang.

"It's not easy to be a lackey!"

Yang Xianzun said in a deep voice.

At this time, he changed into civilian clothes and was on a private visit in Gaochun.

"Immortal Venerable, it seems that this Qing Demon won't last long."

Wu Bingjian, who was next to him, said with a smile.

Wu Bingjian is now extremely glad of his choice, the situation in the world is basically clear, this immortal is the worst is also half of the country, not to mention the domination of the world, this Southern Song Dynasty industry is indispensable, this Huainan he has not touched the province is gone, the most remote Guangxi Miao people also began to join Wang Nangxian's team. The Tiandihui in Guangdong had already raised troops in Boluo, relying on the arms he helped buy from the British, and successively defeated the Qing army that went to encircle and suppress, and in just one month, it had expanded its ranks to 30,000 people, and it was still growing.

Zhu Lian of Fujian has also openly raised the banner of worshipping God and seized the clouds.

There is also Zhejiang.

However, the two brigades of the second town of the Holy Sect Army have been blocked to the periphery of Changzhou and Huzhou respectively, and the fourth town is being rapidly formed, and it is obvious that as long as this town is formed, it will definitely attack Suzhou and Hangzhou, and with the combat effectiveness of the Holy Sect Army, neither the green battalion nor the regimental training in Suzhou and Hangzhou can stop them. And after the land reform around Nanjing, those poor people in Suzhou and Hangzhou and other places may have been looking forward to the Holy Sect day and night, I have to say that this immortal Zun's move is really ruthless, it is directly to the heart, those gentry can't resist this mighty torrent, and the four words of Juntian free grain are lore.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him.

The Wu family's land and property have all begun to be sold.

Even if the Holy Sect defeats Guangdong, he doesn't have to worry about being beaten by local tyrants, in fact, he has long found out that this immortal is only for landlords, and it is excellent for businessmen, although the tax system is very strict, and the punishment for tax evasion is extremely ruthless, but the protection of merchants and workshop owners is also very thoughtful, and he is more like the British in terms of style.

Although he called the British Demons.

"Immortal Venerable, can you promise the matter of the Heroic Demon Trade?"

He then asked.

This was the purpose of his second visit to Nanjing.

"What if I told you that the basis for the existence of the thirteen elements will soon cease to exist?"

Yang Feng said.

"Back to Immortal Venerable, the disciple will not go against the general trend."

Wu Bingjian said.

He understood what Yang Feng meant, the basis of the existence of the Thirteen Elements is the trade in Guangzhou, and after the Holy Sect wins the world, it will not continue to trade with each other, so the Thirteen Lines, including the Wu family, will have no basis for monopolizing trade, but this is not a big deal for the Wu family, because this Immortal Venerable will definitely compensate him, and as for the other bad luck, this is none of the Wu family's business. Besides, he has no ability to stop this general trend, even if he goes back to help the governor of Liangguang to destroy the Heaven and Earth Society again, it is nothing more than to delay the Holy Sect to take Guangdong, but the Holy Sect will still take Guangdong after all, and the Wu family will definitely be finished together at that time, so of course he will not do such a stupid thing against the general trend.

"You are a smart person, I like smart people, go back and tell Ling Zun that the trade will not continue, but the wealth of the Wu family will continue!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

"As for the Heroes, you go back and tell them that in the future they can go to any port with customs, but they can only trade with designated traders, silk has silk companies, tea has tea companies, porcelain has porcelain companies, these companies have a monopoly on export trade, domestic trade is carried out by private merchants themselves, but export trade can only be carried out by these companies, and they are forbidden to trade with any merchants other than these companies, otherwise it will be regarded as smuggling!"

In this era, it is necessary to engage in monopoly, which is the best means to ensure both official interests and the interests of the lowest level.

On the contrary, domestic trade can be opened to the private sector.

"Then what about what Xianzun said before about the similar East India Company?"

Wu Bingjian asked.

"Colonize, mine, control trade points, control ocean shipping, don't always keep an eye on those tea silks, there are countless good things in the outside world, and our colonial company is in charge of this."

Yang Feng said.

Wu Bingjian nodded.

He understood that this was the compensation that Immortal Zun gave to the Wu family.

"Let go of the old man, you Diao people, let go of the old man, Sage Kong, Sven is sweeping the floor!"

As he spoke, two policemen adapted from the Green Battalion, surrounded by a group of militiamen who cooperated with the action, came over with an old rich man with pigtails who was still reluctant to give up, and the latter was constantly struggling and scolding angrily, raising his head and screaming sadly, while the militiamen around him were excited, and from time to time they stabbed him with spears in the back.

"What's going on?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Back to Mr. Hui, this is the Liu Xiangeun of Zhuangzi in front of him, who was jointly sued by more than a dozen families, some plotted to seize the land, some colluded with the Qing demon to force people to death, and the most ruthless one killed six maids in four years, all of them were twelve or thirteen little girls, more than a dozen pieces of paper were in the county court, and the small one came to arrest him and go back for trial."

A policeman raised his head, and suddenly saw the captain of the local reform team beside him, and quickly changed his face to a smile and said.

"You Diao people, I am a Jinshi, Ding Wei is at home, you all have to be beheaded when you hand it to the yamen!"

The old rich man was visibly confused, and roared there as if possessed by an official.

"This Jinshi master, your Qing Dynasty is over, the Qing Demon can't protect you, and you still sweep the floor, do you have Sven to speak of? Also Sage Kong, did Confucius teach you to kill six little girls in four years? Hurry up and show this Jinshi guy, and you go and call the people of the nearby villages, I have taught you that for some heinous crimes, you must be tried in front of the people, and today we will let this Jinshi master show his true face in front of the people here! ”

Yang Feng said to the students who were waiting beside him.
