Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 2546 Meteor falling from the sky
Then the refugee time travelers became stronger and stronger.

After he became strong enough, he finally began to formally attack the county seat, which was a rebellion.

He killed the emperor's time traveler in one breath and caught him off guard.

After all, this is different from playing a game. No one can see the specific situation of other forces on the big map.

So for a time, war broke out everywhere.

The emperor's time traveler suddenly found himself unstable in the south of the Yangtze River.

A private salt dealer took up a lot of his local county seat.

The other party was very smart and did not directly appoint those county magistrates.

Many local administrators were replaced by him, and the people who replaced them were all talented scholars and Tong Sheng who had been failing for many years.

Most of them are over 35 years old, and some are even in their s and s.

These people often fail in the examinations, and many of them have long been resentful and angry about the imperial examinations.

In particular, many people think they are qualified long ago, but because they have no money to manage, they have no choice but to pass the exam to become a scholar or a scholar.

Among the rebels in history, the scholars who were easiest to join were Tong Sheng and Xiucai.

Firstly, the number is huge, and secondly, the lower-level exams have more shady secrets.

Just like when a child enters the scholar level, he is first grasped by the local county magistrate.

Moreover, the first person chosen by the county magistrate must be a scholar.

Because the examiners of the next two exams will not break the underlying rules of the scholars as long as they do not have a big grudge against the county magistrate.

The first place I ordered was dropped...

What does this mean?
Is my taste so bad?
You must know that the official county magistrate is at least a top three scholar.

You can also become a county magistrate, but you cannot directly arrange it. You have to start from the third-in-command and be promoted step by step.

Under these layers of darkness, there are naturally many scholars who are resentful.

Especially among the old students, some read it stupidly, and some read it ruthlessly.

They spend their whole lives studying books and never get started.

At this time, a grass-roots team invited them to go. There is a high probability that they would not care about their family or their own safety, just to show off their losses.

Just to prove that I am definitely no worse than those who pass the exam!
There are too many such examples.

When these people were appointed as county magistrates, they must have wanted to do something at first.

To prove that he is better than the real Jinshi.

Loyalty is relatively high.

After all, they have no way out.

Unlike the previous magistrates, in any case, he could still rely on his connections in the imperial examination, classmates, classmates... to give himself a chance to make a comeback.

These old scholars and old boys who have been unsuccessful for many years are basically dead anyway.

If you don't die, how can the position of county magistrate be vacant?
Therefore, the loyalty of these new county magistrates is quite high.

Unless he is in a desperate situation of being besieged, Li Zicheng's situation will not happen.

As soon as the news of the defeat came, they immediately began to mobilize troops to launch a rebellion.

They would at least think about struggling.

This is another point that Li Zicheng is anxious about.

In order to settle the place as soon as possible, compromise with the landlords as soon as possible, and surrender as soon as possible, a large number of surrendered people and generals were retained.

This was one of the reasons for his failure.

There was no solid person to block the Manchu pursuers for him.

This is not the case for refugee time travellers.

He knew very well that scholars must use it in this era.

But you can use those who have failed, those who are full of resentment.

And the proportion of these people far exceeds those who pass the exam.

科举取中基本上就是秀才是300比1，举人是3000比1，进士反而是3000取300。

Such similar proportions.

As a result, more and more people are failing.

This is also the reason why at the end of the dynasty, any rebel will not have to worry about the lack of scholars to take refuge.

The imperial examination cannot solve the fundamental problem, it can only promote relatively outstanding people.

It is impossible to let everyone into the monarch's pocket.

In this way, the refugee army fought in Jiangnan with overwhelming force.

One by one, failed scholars obtained official positions.

They also became increasingly loyal to the rebels.

Because they can't wait to turn this low-quality official position into one made of gold!
This is also one of the secrets of the Manchu success in history.

In order to correct their reputation, those who surrender will fight to the death to turn the Manchu Qing into orthodoxy.

The emperor's time traveler soon discovered that his position as emperor would be unstable if he was allowed to be conquered by the refugee army.

Soon he became very frightened.

He didn't want to be hanged.

In fact, he has already made the area around the capital quite solid.

It can be said that it directly controls the surrounding five million people.

But after all, the environment is here, and the big cities in the north must rely on food from the south.

If there is a problem in Jiangnan, it will be irresistible.

In the short term, he can also rely on his strong control over his surroundings to raise food.

Over time, the rebound will be very serious.

He is still not as good as the other party.

If the situation is allowed to develop, he will be easily killed by the opponent soon.

Once the other party kills him, he believes that all his harem wives and concubines will become enemies.

The thought of that kind of thing made him go crazy inside.

He will never allow this to happen, nor will he allow this to happen!
Thinking of those obedient wives and concubines, the emperor's time traveler gained fighting spirit.

He must kill all these rebels completely.

He is a time traveler, isn't he inferior to a group of natives?
However, according to recent news from factory guards, the leader of the refugee rebellion seems to be a time traveler.

Because some of the methods adopted by the other party are very similar to those of the time-travelers.

For example, ensuring economic circulation, creating a large number of jobs, and issuing currency linked to food.

All in all, he looked strange.

But if you think about it carefully, there is also Wang Mang.

In fact, Wang Mang was all retro and used ancient methods. As a result, the misunderstanding arose because the methods such as dividing the land equally were similar to modern ones.

This guy should be too.

He thought so.

There cannot be two time travellers.

Then the emperor began to order the formation of Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps.

He ordered that local landowners be allowed to organize group training.

He allowed local people to take control of the military.

For a time, it caused a lot of opposition from the court.

The emperor despised this.

Others will rebel, and the dynasty will be doomed.

You are still thinking about stories from the Han and Tang dynasties.

I also thought that warlord separatism would affect the court.

Even if warlords divide the country, the meat will rot in the pot in the end.

At least there is a possibility of exterminating the previous royal family, but it is definitely not as big as the aliens.

He must decisively delegate power.

This move has many consequences.

But I have to say it is also very effective.

Soon, many wealthy scholar families started group training.

They are more inclined to maintain their previous status than to join the refugee travelers.

This is very simple, the land deed was issued by the previous dynasty.

Will the new dynasty recognize it?
Even if they admit it, the official positions in the new dynasty will be occupied by newcomers, and their status will not be guaranteed.

It's just that, once these aristocratic families gain military power, they will easily become warlords.

The later Qing Dynasty is the most typical example.

To be honest, the warlords after the Qing Dynasty had a lot to do with these aristocratic families.

Many warlords can trace their roots back to the time when they organized group training.

The famous Beiyang came from the Huai army.

Now these people will choose to surrender to the emperor temporarily, but when they grow stronger later, their ambitions will inevitably grow as well.

They will collude together to fight against the imperial court.

They will not engage in a war to save the dynasty.

At this time, their warlord nature is revealed.

Soon the emperor's time traveler dealt with the situation like this.

At the same time, step up your own development.

His development is also rapid.

After all, he has the advantage of status.

As long as the emperor is shameless, there are still many ways to make money.

For example, the simplest trick is to directly sell your official position and confiscate your home.

Of course, the premise is to promote a group of new people who are loyal to themselves.

There are relatively few involvements, and he is willing to work hard for himself.

Time passed quickly. This world of dynastic hegemony was gradually thrown into chaos by Wu Zetian.

It was originally the emperor's crushing game.

The result was a situation where the two parties were evenly matched.

In fact, it is impossible for the refugee time traveler to be the emperor's opponent.

Both sides are time travelers, and their qualities are almost the same.

How can they still fight when there is such a huge identity gap between them?

The results are great. With Wu Zetian's operation, the refugee time travelers have considerable advantages.

Just having good luck and not dying in an accident is enough for the other party to mess around.

Moreover, the other party also gained valuable practical experience.

This is something that the emperor's time traveler cannot have.

Then the two sides developed a competition with each other.

Finally the day came for the real battle.

The emperor's traveler had to send out new troops to suppress them in order to obtain food from the southeast.

One side has 7 new troops, the core elite is 4, and the other 3 are auxiliary troops.

But they all have enough food and money.

Relying on this alone, their combat power can overwhelm other imperial teams.

Behind the scenes were various raids by the emperor, which offended many ministers and squires.

In order to obtain money, the emperor also cautiously used the method of confiscating homes.

At the same time, he promoted some lucky ministers and made money for him.

Of course, the most important thing is to use the confidants he has trained personally when raiding his home.

Moreover, these confidants are well fed, and his family and children are in his hands.

In this case, at least the tragedy of 13.8 million taels turning into 38 taels will not happen.

This is probably the case where it becomes four million taels.

They get 70% and the emperor gets 30%.

This is already pretty good.

Real financial and tax distribution, it would be great if the emperor could make a profit.

Because most of it goes into the state treasury, but most of what goes into the state treasury goes into the pockets of officials.

This is the real scene at the end of the dynasty.

The emperor's 70,000 new troops are already very good.

At least invincible.

However, the refugee travelers on the opposite side are not vegetarians either.

He has an army of 25!
3 times the opponent's troop strength.

Of course, more than 15 people are mixed soldiers, refugees who come here under threat.

He knew that this was what he had to do when facing the imperial troops.

Use ordinary refugees to consume the opponent's physical strength.

Then use gold and silver to seduce the opponent's soldiers into chaos.

The last step is to fight back.

But this skill is not useful for those alien races.

Because the latter's military discipline is too strict, they can kill without any restrictions.

But you must not grab money on the battlefield.

Once committed, you will be killed.

When the two armies fought, everyone thought it was an earth-shattering battle, at least a fight to the death.

One side is 7, and the other side is more than 20.

And if you look closely, you can see that the elites on both sides are very well trained.

Wen Rensheng raised his eyes and looked up.

Nod slightly.

It seems that these are two qualified time travellers.

At least the training team is elite enough.

At this time, Xiao Huan suddenly appeared.

Holding a skewer in one hand and a Kuo Luo in the other.

"Dad, dad, you see they are going to war."

"Let's make a bet on them. Who can win between them?"

Wen Rensheng smiled when he heard this.

"I will not bet on this kind of bet that is controlled by humans."

"You have to remember to never participate in a gambling game that is controlled by a bookmaker."

"There are so many scammers, why do you trust others to let you take your money?"

Xiao Huan rolled his big eyes and said, "I think that emperor can win."

"why?"

"To defeat more with less, his troops will be more elite, and if he fights rebellion with submissiveness, he will definitely win."

Wen Rensheng immediately laughed.

"Hahaha, you are still too young."

"Humph, I must be right."

As a result, after the two armies faced each other, they set up camps separately and did not immediately enter the battle.

But that night.

Several fireballs suddenly appeared in the night sky and directly hit the camp of the Emperor's Traveler!

More than 7 people!

That’s more than 70,000 people!
After just a moment, the birds and beasts dispersed!

What an emperor, what loyalty, what money and food.

In the face of this huge natural disaster, everything is in vain!
"This is divine punishment!"

"This is heaven. People are angry and resentful. The dynasty is going to be destroyed!"

"Damn it, why? Is this the end of our Daqian Dynasty?"

There are also some loyal ministers and good generals who just stand in the camp and will not leave unless they run away.

Watch the meteorites fall!

More and more loyal soldiers cried and fled with their men.

It's a pity that this can't come in time?

When you see a meteorite landing, if it is coming towards you, then you basically cannot escape its killing range.

Unless you are lucky enough and this meteorite turns a corner.

And just like that, several meteorites fell.

The whole battle ended in an anticlimactic manner.

No one thought of it beforehand.

In this way, the Jiangnan rebel army successfully defeated the elite army sent by the emperor.

That's an army of 7.

No matter which dynasty it is placed in, it is a very precious force that can determine the fate of a force.

That is to say, in modern times, with the general mobilization system, millions of troops can be mobilized, and the losses in a war can easily reach millions.

Moreover, the quality of all the soldiers can be almost the same, so this loss will be felt as nothing.

However, only a few are elite.

A true loss of 7 elites would be enough to affect the direction of a battle.

Li Zicheng fought against the Manchus, and the battle that determined the fate of Great Xia for hundreds of years was only 60,000 versus hundreds of thousands.

And when the news was rushed 800 miles away, it reached the emperor.

The emperor vomited blood on the spot.

"Why why? Is this really going to kill me?"

"Damn, what is this!"

He had read in history that Wang Mang's army was hit by a large meteorite, but he thought it was just a made-up story.

At best it's just a coincidence.

And now he finally knew that there really was such a coincidence.

At the same time, the emperor's army was destroyed by meteorites falling from the sky.

For a while, many people thought that their destiny had changed, and they turned to the refugee time travelers one after another.

This refugee time traveler was also very happy.

"Hahaha, it seems that destiny is in me, destiny is really in me!"

He was very cheerful.

After working hard for so long, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Defeat the emperor, and the whole of Jiangnan will be in the palm of your hand.

The next step is to vigorously improve harvesting efficiency and build more uniform teams.

Then he wiped out the imperial court in one fell swoop, and then wiped out the foreign races.

At the same time, we must vigorously promote marriage and trade, spread culture, and reduce the population.

He analyzed the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to win over foreign races from outside, through marriage and trade, as well as spreading culture and reducing the population.

Finally, it was ensured that the nomads who had caused trouble on the frontier in the past would no longer become a serious nuisance.

Of course, all of them are based on nearly a hundred years of fighting.

Without knives and horses, relying solely on marriage and trade, and those soft measures, will definitely not work.

From the perspective of the nomads, how can trade and rewards be as much as what is stolen?
