Just as His Majesty the Emperor was preparing for the Northern Expedition, the situation on the Yangtze River did not change at all. Not only was the Xiaogushan Fortress as solid as a rock, but even Susong City blocked the attack of the Red Turban Army.

Like Pengze, all the population was moved there.

Without the unruly people rebelling, the battle was just a contest between the Red Turban Army's siege ability and the Dingsheng Army's defensive ability.

But the new urban defense system proves its value.

Even if the Red Turban Army used heavy artillery to attack the fortress, it still could not break through the fortress in a short period of time.

The twenty-four-pound cannon is indeed an effective weapon to bombard the brink system, but this effect is not to cure the disease, but also requires time to be polished. Before there is no modern heavy artillery, the attack on the brink is a time-consuming attack. Even the tactics of Vaubon siege are the same. Vaubon's tactics only focus on the artillery as close as possible to obtain more effective bombardment, but they also need to use cannons to chew them a little.

This kind of battle is impossible to win in a short time. Even if Europe faces such a fortress, it is normal to fight for a year or two.

Even after a few years of fighting.

Moreover, Susong is not just a Susong City, but is actually a fortress system. Susong City is just its core, but there are many new-style fortresses and forts on the outside.

The new generation of gentry in the Ming Dynasty really showed off their all their talents under Yang Feng's pressure.

The leaders of Xiong Tingbi not only learned the latest tactics at the fastest speed, but also improved them in combination with ancient war experience. They even began to study ballistics. The Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty were essentially different from the slaves of our Qing Dynasty. They not only did not reject new knowledge, but instead studied and developed new knowledge. In Xiong Tingbi's praise team, there were several mathematicians alone. Cheng Dawei was invited by him a long time ago, and the design of these two fortresses was participated.

In fact, it is not just them, scientists and even those craftsmen with high technology are very popular in all parties.

Foshan even offered craftsmen who could make flintlock springs a high salary of 30 taels a month.

Corrupt scholars are becoming increasingly ignored.

After all, it is about survival or destruction, and everyone understands the value of a truly capable person.

This is also the reason why corrupt scholars in various places are struggling to death. It is not just because Yang Feng abandoned them, but in fact, all parties are abandoning them. If they don’t struggle, they will be completely finished. Even the northern provinces now welcome craftsmen to more than the scholars.

However, just when the Red Turban Army was blocked from attacking Susong and Xiaogushan, the Dingsheng Army and the militia made no progress in counterattacks against Wuchang and other places.

Their main goal is to counterattack Macheng and block this hole.

But after heavy losses, he encountered an external attack from the main force of the Red Turban Army, and finally the armies attacking Macheng collapsed.

As a result, not only did Macheng not recapture it, but even Huang An was lost.

Now the entire Dabie Mountain Pass was completely opened, and there was no hope of blocking it.

Fortunately, the Red Turban Army's dependence on logistics prevented them from moving south from this direction. After all, the mountain roads could not transport too much military supplies, so Yang Feng did not attack outward in Wuchang, but maintained defense while personally presided over the military production. As long as he produced and reserved enough ammunition in Wuchang, the main force of the Red Turban Army could continue to move south through the Macheng entrance.

Of course, it's mainly because he's still waiting.

Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor did not ask him to wait too long. Just one month later, His Majesty the Emperor of Guangzhou announced the world.

First, he expressed his affirmation of the Red Turban Army's Western Expedition.

The Red Turban Army's western expedition was just, which fully proved the loyalty of the Red Turban Army to His Majesty the Emperor. Although they had some misunderstandings against His Majesty the Emperor because of the death of the Prince of Liaodong before, the Yingtian Change broke out, but through this Western expedition, His Majesty the Emperor had already felt their loyalty. Therefore, His Majesty the Emperor pardoned the Jing camp of the Yingtian Change, but the princess had never had any regent in the past, so this was still inappropriate. The prince had been deposed before, so he formally issued an order to appoint King Fu as the crown prince.

Yingtian is governed by the prince.

As for the Yang Feng launched by Yingtian Red Turban Army, after careful investigation by His Majesty the Emperor, he was actually Wang Yue, the good brother of the Prince of Liaodong...

He has made his debut in the capital last time, and he is indeed exactly the same as Yang Fengchang.

Everyone knows this.

I miss you when I see things!

When he saw Wang Yue, His Majesty the Emperor remembered the voice, appearance and smile of the King of Liaodong.

Therefore, since the King of Liaodong has no descendants, his good brother inherited the title, and His Majesty the Emperor gave Wang Yue the surname Yang. In order to commemorate the King of Liaodong, he was still given the name Yang Feng. The princess was already a widow, but there was no restriction on the remarriage of widows in the Ming Dynasty, so His Majesty the Emperor gave him a new marriage to Yang Feng.

This solves the problem that Yang Feng is not Yang Feng.

Yang Feng was already dead before. His Majesty the Emperor said it personally, His Majesty the Emperor cannot tell lies.

So Yang Feng is Wang Yue now, and everyone knows this capital. He came out at Chengtian Gate last time. Everyone knows that he and Yang Feng grow exactly the same, but he is not Yang Feng. He himself is wearing the flag of me, not Yang Feng, so he must not be Yang Feng. But the King of Liaodong has no descendants and no family, so the title of King of Liaodong must be inherited by a different surname. Wang Yue and Yang Feng grow exactly the same. This is God's will. Of course, it is the most suitable for him to inherit it.

But if you want to inherit, you must have the surname Yang, so His Majesty the Emperor gave him the surname.

As for the name Yang Feng, it is just that His Majesty the Emperor has too deep feelings for the King of Liaodong and misses the name too much.

Therefore, giving the name Yang Feng is also considered to be a comforting person.

Although the princess married the King of Liaodong, she is now a widow, and the two of them have no bridal chambers, so there is no need to be a widow for him. There is nothing wrong with continuing to marry his brother Xin Yang Feng.

This is indeed a bit complicated, but it does solve Yang Feng's problem.

As for the Prime Minister...

admit.

Of course, you have to admit it. If you don’t admit it, you’re looking for excitement.

His Majesty the Emperor is not stupid. If he doesn't admit it, he is openly accusing Yang Feng. It's easy to talk to him if he admits it.

His Majesty the Emperor admitted any decisions made during Princess Yingtian during the reign of the reign, because these were not only decisions made by the regent princess, but also agreed by the Empress Dowager of the Capital. Since it was agreed by the Empress Dowager, His Majesty the Emperor must of course admit it, otherwise wouldn’t it be unfilial. Therefore, the new Yang Feng’s identity as the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty was recognized, but the Ming Dynasty was in the cabinet system, and this system would not change. The Prime Minister could be established and was above the Three Dukes. He could be said to be the first civil and military person in the Ming Dynasty.

but……

Like the three dukes, he is a false position.

But now His Majesty the Emperor is in Guangzhou and the Cabinet is also in Guangzhou. When His Majesty the Emperor is not here, of course, he, the best civil and military officials, will assist the prince in supervising the country.

The prince is still young, and the prime minister has no choice but to do so.

This also solved the problem of the Yingtian court. The Yingtian court was legal and was authorized by His Majesty the Emperor. Because the prince who was the governor of the country was young, the prime minister, the first civil and military, was assisted by the government, to control the Southern Zhili and Zhejiang, and commanded the Yingtian Jingying to attack the Hongguang rebel party. The imperial court in the capital was deposed, and the Empress Dowager of the Virgin was personally supervised by the Empress Dowager of the Capital City to suppress the rebel party of the Five Northern Provinces. However, the Empress Dowager of the Virgin was old, so the Prime Minister had to worry and help.

His Majesty the Emperor is in Guangzhou...

At this time, the name of Fengtian Mansion has been officially changed.

The Ming Dynasty finally got together to follow the will of heaven and to bear the will of heaven.

His Majesty the Emperor coordinated the overall situation in Fengtian Prefecture and launched a general attack on the Hongguang Rebel Party, defeated the rebel Party in one fell swoop, and restored the unification of the Ming Dynasty.

My bright future is not far away!

Celebrate together all over the world!

Wuchang.

"That's OK? I actually became me?"

Marshal Yang looked at the imperial edict in his hand that informed the world in surprise.

This imperial edict was specially sent to Yingtian, and then sent to it from Yingtian. The imperial edict was very long...

After all, such a complicated plot requires some explanation.

I have to say that he is now impressed by His Majesty’s imagination. Such a big turn can make His Majesty come back.

He actually became him?

"What am I? Yang Feng's concubine then remarries to Yang Feng's concubine?"

Fang Mengshi said unhappily.

This imperial edict was sent by her, and she went upstream on a row of paddles and speedboats. However, the Dingsheng Army, which was blocking the Red Turban Army, did not intercept it, and also sent warships to protect her. Although no one dared to move her identity, the problem was that Yang Feng had destroyed many families. If someone lost his mind, it would be troublesome and he had to protect him. Besides, her father was still Governor Pian Yuan of Hongguang Dynasty!

"Uh, there are all concubines on both sides!"

Yang Feng said.

Fang Mengshi reached out to scratch him fiercely, and Yang Feng pulled her into his arms casually.

"Your Majesty the Emperor is going to make a big deal!"

He said.

"Then what are you going to do? Our eldest wife said, let you take the opportunity to reconcile with her father, let her father recognize you as the prime minister, and the government will still belong to you as the prime minister in the future, and then welcome her father back, even if he doesn't come back, but the monarch and ministers make a covenant, and her father will become the emperor but don't care about his affairs in the future, and you will become the prime minister but not the emperor. As for the emperor in the future, her son will be the prime minister for generations, so that the best of both worlds will be. Wasn't it the same during the Zhou emperor?"

Fang Mengshi said.

It is obvious that His Highness the Princess is already thinking about this issue.

After all, it was her father on one side and her man on the other. This was ultimately a way to achieve the best of both worlds. It seemed a bit too unfilial to usurp the throne directly, but it was also necessary to take power. Her father was the emperor and her man was in power. As for the throne in the future, the throne was still from the Zhu family, but the prime minister was always from the Yang family. It was not like this during the Spring and Autumn Period and even the Western Zhou Dynasty. The monarch was hereditary and the ministers were hereditary, such as the Liuqing of Jin.

As for the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei, they divided Jin...

This is something that will happen in the future. As long as she maintains her filial piety to her father, she can't even consider her nephews and nephews.

"That's fine. She can send someone to persuade her father."

Yang Feng said.
