Chapter 328 Enter Hangzhou

When Armstrong was destroyed, Bian Yuanheng's navy had approached the city wall. Their artillery was ready to collapse the city wall of Hangzhou to prepare for the army's attack.

The waterway is too narrow, and the water gate is too small. It is a little unrealistic to want to enter the city directly from the water gate.

Just as the gunfire was about to fire, Bian Yuanheng was depressed to find that the other party actually raised a white flag.

This is like a boxer who has worn a gear and a trap, and has made countless jumping movements. He is ready to try. When he punches the other party fiercely, the other party suddenly step down.

The strength all over the body has come to an end without exertion.

Bian Yuanheng's navy got off the ship from the shore and poured directly into the city.

Some of them rushed to the top of the city, and some of them rushed to control the government office, military warehouse, government silver and other important places in the city.

Dazhi looked at the soldiers coming up like a tide, looked at the fire that could bring the breath of death in their hands, and looked at the scattered defenders on the head of the city. Most of them had been eliminated in the battle out of the city. In the big Hangzhou City, the defenders were less than 8,000.

When Bian Yuanheng saw a senior official in front of him, he immediately commanded the soldiers and surrounded them.

Da Zhi stood up and said, "Our army has surrendered. Please abide by the principle of war and treat the prisoners of our army properly."

"Treat it properly?" Bian Yuanheng sneered and said, "When you tars attacked us Han people, did you follow the principle of engagement? Every time you attack the city, there will be a terrible situation like slaughtering the city.

Dazhi's face turned pale. If I had known it, it would have been better to fight to the end. It is said that Zhang Shicheng's army does not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and he is also very humane to prisoners. Why did this big man say that?

"Haha, I knew you were cowards." Bian Yuanheng was scared just now. He was scared when he saw the tar official in front of him. The tars were really soft!

"Don't worry, my eldest brother governs the army very strictly. You Tatar officials, as long as you are not conscienceless and do all kinds of bad things, you will be treated fairly. As long as the soldiers have not been stained with the blood of the Han people, they can share the land, go home and be an honest people." Bian Yuanheng said.

Hearing what the leader of the rebels said, the disarmed soldiers were relieved and worked for the tars. They were just a living. They didn't want to do it for a long time. Those who were extremely vicious and did bad things with the tars had already gone out to fish in troubled waters. As a result, they followed Armstrong to the corpse in the wilderness.

"Brother, the tars have surrendered." Shi Xin saw the white flag at the head of the city and said to Zhang Yang.

Well, the tars have surrendered. Zhang Yang sighed, "The battle is finally over."

The surrender of the tars is the best result. Such a tall city in Hangzhou has been bombarded by the God of War cannon. After the war, he had to spend money to repair it, and he had to thank the leader of the other party.

"Let's go to the city!" Zhang Yang looked at Shi Nai'an beside him, Luo Guanzhong and Liu Bowen, controlled his inner excitement and said.

After a decisive and brave attack, the rebels received a rich return. In less than a month, they crossed the Yangtze River and captured Changzhou, Pingjiang, Wucheng and Hangzhou. From the northeast corner of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, they cut down a piece of triangular land, Changzhou Road and Jiangyin. Zhou, Pingjiang Road, Songjiangfu, Huzhou Road, Jiaxing Road and Hangzhou Road were all torn down from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province and became their own territories.

Next, it is here to promote your own rule and turn this land into a home for ordinary people to live and work in peace and happiness.

The invoy army jumped out of the trenches and advanced to Hangzhou in a battle formation.

On the top of the city, we can already see the figure of Bian Yuanheng's water army. They have completely controlled the situation in the city.

Along the way, as long as the new attached army that had just charged, as it was not killed, had been disarmed and surrendered. The weapons were thrown aside and they did not dare to look up.

The limbs and arms were broken, and the flesh and blood flew across, walking through the Shura-like battlefield.

Zhang Yang looked at Liu Bowen beside him. When he first saw this bloody scene, would he spit it out?

Liu Bowen's face turned a little pale, but he walked calmly. He knew that this was war. War was always cruel and bloody. If he wanted to follow the Lord to fight the world, he must experience this kind of scene.

Hangzhou is the capital of the Five Dynasties of Wuyue and the Southern Song Dynasty. "There is a paradise and Suzhou and Hangzhou below". This sentence fully illustrates the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou, among which the West Lake is the best.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou entered its heyday. In the third year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty, the palace was set up in Hangzhou. It was promoted to Lin'an Prefecture and ruled in Qiantang. In the eighth year of Shaoxing, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was set here, and the city wall of Hangzhou expanded. At that time, it was divided into inner cities and outer cities. The inner city, that is, the imperial city, is nine miles around Phoenix Mountain, from Fengshan Gate in the north, to the Jianggan in the south, to Wansongling in the west, and to Houchaomen in the east. Within the imperial city, temples, halls, buildings, pavilions, as well as palaces and imperial gardens are built. The outer city crosses Wushan in the south, the Wulin Gate in the north, the West Lake on the right, and the Qiantang River on the left. It is magnificent. There are 13 gates, and there is a moat outside the city.

After the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, Hangzhou was destroyed by the war, but the tall imperial city remained, symbolizing that the supreme hall was still in Hangzhou.

There are many markets outside Hangzhou, mainly grain, vegetables, fruits, aquatic products, meat products, etc., which are similar to the market. Along the West Lake, another entertainment area has been formed. Since ancient times, the West Lake has been beautiful. The buildings are numerous along the lake, and the gardens are beautiful. There are many temples. In history, countless literati have stopped here and linger. Forget to return.

The provincial capital is located here, and the official residence of Dazhi Tiemu is set in the imperial city, which has always been envied by Zuo Cheng of other provinces.

Last time, Hangzhou City was breached by Xu Shouhui's army. The inner city was damaged to a certain extent. Some places were set on fire, but it was still the most luxurious place.

When they entered the city for the first time, the rebels were like Tubaozi entering the city for the first time, and they felt that they could not see it.

The prosperity of Hangzhou is far beyond their imagination.

What makes them happier is that many people in the city stand on both sides of the road and welcome them.

Although Hangzhou is rich, it is limited to those powerful people. The Tatars' bullying of the people of Hangzhou, and even in other cities, even ordinary large families have to do a good job of being occupied by the Tatars at all times. The people in these places are not regarded as people at all.

There are also many famous taxes, and the people hate the tartars very much.

The Red Turban Army that attacked the city last time was a disciplined division. They did not bully the people, let alone plunder the villagers. The people were very fond of the rebel army.

And the army that came in this time was powerful. The defenders surrendered without attacking the city, and also eliminated the scourge in the city: helping the new army. They were full of good feelings for this army. The army that entered first did not disturb the people, so that the people were very With a sense of security, as a result, he spontaneously went to the street and welcomed this righteous teacher.

Looking at this situation, the guards have increased their efforts to guard Zhang Yang. After all, they have just occupied this place and are still unstable, especially the Miao people who are good at using poison. If they mix here, it will be dangerous.

Zhang Yang was not moved by these scenes. What he valued more was the historical significance of occupying the ancient city.

This means that he has controlled the capital of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province and captured most of the senior officials in Jiangsu Province. How to deal with them?

In addition, there are so many scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. It is very beneficial to be able to use it for yourself. After all, my current subordinates are all rough, and there are few literati. And most of the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River are landlords. Do they still use Xinghua's means to deal with them?

The people welcome themselves now. They have to make sure that in a year, two years, five years and ten years, the people are still sincerely welcoming themselves and supporting themselves, so that they can take root here.

What reassured Zhang Yang was that his troops were already a disciplined division. Although they were surprised by the prosperity of Hangzhou City, they did not commit the act of looting. Zhang Yang has always been on the spot.

The former imperial city, under the complete control of Bian Yuanheng, welcomed the arrival of his eldest brother outside the imperial city.

Proud sailors, standing around with the sky in their hands.

Seeing that this was the former imperial city, Bian Yuanheng was moved. This was once the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, but now it occupies here, that is, it has the spirit of a dragon. Why is the eldest brother still calm? It's time to be emperor!

Even a person like Han Lin'er can be called an emperor. Why can't the eldest brother? At the beginning, I persuaded my eldest brother several times, but there was no result. This time, I must persuade him!

"Big brother!" From afar, the man riding the horse was his eldest brother, surrounded by a group of people.

"Yuan Heng, the sailors have worked hard this time." Zhang Yang said.

"It's not hard, it's not hard. Before we started to attack, the tars surrendered. It's really not fun." Bian Yuanheng said, "The officials of the tattars have been arrested. Their families and treasury have been controlled and are under investigation. It is estimated that millions of taels of silver can be copied this time."

The bigger the goal, the more you will gain. This is the same truth, but there will be a lot of places to use money! Zhang Yang has a headache when he thinks about it. The navy is a money-burning arm. It's time to make professional warships for them. They can not only sail inland, but also sail in the sea.

And my army, plus 20,000 people who are training, is only 50,000 people. To protect such a large place, there is obviously a shortage of troops, and at least another 50,000 people have to be recruited. The recruitment and training of these 50,000 people is also a large number.

It costs money to encourage people to reclaim wasteland and continue to increase food production. Since these lands have been occupied, we have to let the people of these places live and work in peace, which is a place to spend money.

Hangzhou City was taken down, and the war was temporarily over, but Zhang Yang suddenly found that there were more troubles one after another.

Liu Bowen behind him, who is a master of political affairs, has to be shared by him.
