Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 1005 Correct Usage of Guanning Army
The city of Beijing was completely in chaos. The Guan Ning Army held sticks with open flames and arrested people everywhere. There were screams, screams, wild laughter, and curses everywhere. They were picked up in brothels, some reeked of alcohol, some were disheveled and didn't even have time to put on their clothes.These princes, ministers, and flirtatious students have completely lost the chicness of reciting the wind, playing the moon, and pointing out the country. They are as embarrassed as they are.Someone scolded Guan Ningjun angrily: "You lowly warriors, how dare you insult us civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats, the world's students will never let you go, never let you go..."

The response to these red-eyed and yelling guys was punches and kicks.In the Ming Dynasty, literati regarded warriors as enemies, and military commanders regarded literati as enemies. The relationship between the two sides could not have been worse. It was only because of the pattern of using literature to control martial arts for hundreds of years that nothing happened. , now that Daming has been ruined by these bastards, the pattern of using literature to control martial arts will no longer exist. How can those military generals be polite to these literati?Revenge for injustice, revenge for vengeance, playing with no vengeance without vengeance, with one punch, these thin-skinned and tender-skinned guys were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, screaming again and again!When raiding the house and arresting people, because the literati did not cooperate, they beat, scolded and threw things at the soldiers of the Guan Ning Army. One by one, these poor literati and bureaucrats finally understood that when all order is destroyed, there will no longer be any nobles or inferiors, and whoever has the biggest fist will be justified!Unfortunately, they can't compare to these warriors who are born in fighting in any way, so they have no reason at all, only to be beaten!

Worst of all, the order that maintained the noble status of the literati class was destroyed by these literati themselves.Therefore, many civil servants burst into tears when they were dragged out like a dog by the soldiers of the Guanning Army, and they looked up to the sky and sighed: "Regret, regret!"

The people who should be arrested were almost arrested, and the generals of Guan Ning Army gathered together to discuss and chatter, trying to find a way out for themselves.To be honest, although they have a lot of chips in their hands, they still don't know what to do.They have heard too much about Yang Menglong's deeds. This guy is purely a muscle. Just take off Ya's leg with one knife!And Guan Ningjun's actions have undoubtedly crossed his bottom line long ago, no matter how he redeemed his crimes, he is afraid that he will be punished with capital punishment and living crimes are inevitable, what should we do?

"Marco, you have many bad ideas. Tell me, what should I do?"

"If I knew what to do, I would have done it a long time ago, why should I sit here in a daze?"

"Don't you usually have a lot of ghost ideas? Why can't you come up with ideas when it's time to use you?"

"Bah! I usually have some good ideas, but that's when I'm dealing with my colleagues! Then Yang... no, is the Champion Hou a colleague of ours? He doesn't accept our ideas at all. What can I do!"

"Hu Guangen, don't pretend to be dead. You were the first one to agree with Sui Zu Dashou's entry into the country to rebel. Even if you pretend to be dead, you can't escape!"

"I'll do it. Am I the only one who agrees? You agree too! Besides, the old thief put the knife to our necks back then. If we don't nod, we will have no choice but to lose our heads. What can I do!"

"What's the use of talking about it now? Find a way!"

"How about we use these traitors to negotiate with Champion Hou and beg for his life? If he doesn't agree, we will..."

"Negotiation is a bird's-eye! At the beginning, the old thief Zu even offered to help him pinch the Qing army in order to redeem his life. He refused without thinking, and then hanged him and Hong Tai on the battlefield with one against two! "

"I can't find a way out at all, I'm dying!"

"How about we drive all the rebellious officials and traitors out of the capital, seal up all the warehouses, put down our weapons and take off our armor, and then hide among the people and see if we can get away with it?"

"It's almost dawn, don't dream! The people have hated us for what we have done. As long as we dare to put down our weapons, the people will tear us apart!"

"To die, to die, to die!"

"I said, can you say something other than dying!"

"To die, to die, to die!"

"……Dry!"

The discussion was chaotic, noisy, and illogical.Everyone was in a panic, and there was no master in their minds. In this state, it was a dream to come up with a feasible way to muddle through and escape Yang Menglong's iron fist.After some futile discussions, these guys found to their dismay that even if they helped catch so many old bastards who were specially designed to hinder Yang Menglong, their lives were still unstable, and Yang Menglong's iron fist might still come down and smash them to pieces. Not even a bone scum is left!
Don't take any chances, go out and surrender honestly, otherwise the fists that fall will only be harder and heavier!
At dawn the next day, three hours before the ultimatum, the Yongding Gate opened, and a large number of Guanning soldiers came out with mournful faces, kneeling neatly outside the city gate, their armor removed, Neatly stacked, placed on the ground, without any weapons, they are completely convinced, if you want to strangle or stab Yang Menglong, you can do whatever you want!

Someone will report to Yang Menglong immediately.

Yang Menglong was still sound asleep, Zhaji Chongweng took a lot of effort to wake him up, he rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up, after listening to the report, he said weakly: "If they love to kneel, let them kneel, I'll let them kneel. I need to sleep for a while, don't disturb me..." Leaning on the bed, I fell asleep again.

Zhaji Chongweng said: "However, they said that they have captured all the rebellious officials and thieves who treasoned with the country..."

Yang Menglong murmured to himself: "So what... It's not like I can't catch those bastards without them... Hehe, good son, come on, give me a..."

Wow, after just a short while, this guy was already dreaming about his precious son...

Over there, Fang Yizhi also ran to report the good news to Zhu Yujian.

Zhu Yujian was stronger than Yang Menglong. Yang Menglong was still lying in bed. He had already gotten up and summoned the respected elders of the prefectures and counties surrounding Beijing to listen to their opinions.Most of the capitals of a country are consumption-oriented cities. They do not have strong hematopoietic ability. On the contrary, they have to draw blood from surrounding areas. The Ming Dynasty has established Beijing as its capital for more than 200 years. The city of Beijing has become more and more prosperous, but the surrounding prefectures and counties around Beijing But they are getting poorer and poorer, the people's lives are getting more and more miserable, and there are countless tragic incidents of wives and children being separated at the feet of the emperor.Zhu Yujian felt that this was inappropriate. The capital of the Ming Dynasty should bring development opportunities to surrounding states and counties instead of sucking all their blood.However, he couldn't think of any good solution at the moment, so wherever he went, he summoned local elders, no matter poor or humble, as long as they were somewhat famous, to listen to their opinions.These old people have lived here all their lives and have seen through everything. They should be able to provide him with very useful suggestions.

"Actually, tax relief is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. If the emperor wants to manage Beizhili well, he must solve two problems. The first is the governance of history. The taxes set by Lord Chongzhen are actually not heavy, but the governance of history is so corrupted that it cannot be added. Ministry, every time a little bit of tax is added, the lower level will increase it layer by layer. In the end, the tax that falls on the common people is already ten times or twenty times what he wants to increase. Can we not turn back? Of course, with the champion here, it is not difficult to solve Shizhi, but the second one is difficult.” Now there is a sixty-year-old man in shabby clothes, but he looks very energetic, sitting on the floor, talking freely.

Fang Yizhi walked in and whispered the good news to Zhu Yujian that Guan Ning's army had surrendered the city.

Zhu Yujian's reaction was very flat, and he just said lightly: "Do you want to atone for your sins like this? They also take Daming's dignity too lightly. Fang Qing, ignore them, sit down and listen to this with me. The opinions of the sages, their words can benefit me a lot!"

Fang Yizhi was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, this is a god-given opportunity. If you don't accept the surrender and enter the city as soon as possible, I'm afraid something will happen. It will be ten times more difficult to enter Beijing!"

Zhu Yujian smiled but said, "If I don't enter the city of Beijing, I won't be able to be the emperor? The people's will can't be determined anywhere! Old man, go on, what's the second thing?"

Well, this guy has been with Yang Menglong for too long, he was led astray by Yang Menglong, he acted upright, he was black and white, he said one thing, look at him like that, even if Guan Ningjun repented and retreated to the city and refused to surrender No trouble, at most, let the Ming army fight in. Guan Ningjun doesn't even have the qualifications to make him nervous, let alone bargaining!Fang Yizhi sighed secretly, sat down and listened to the old man.

The old man cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, state affairs are the most important thing, let's talk about it first after being surrendered into Beijing, lest things change!"

Zhu Yujian said: "No matter how much you change, you can't change anything. Those gangsters like to kneel, so let them kneel! Old man, go on, what is the second rule for governing Beizhili well?"

The old man had no choice but to say: "The second thing is water!"

Zhu Yujian was startled: "Water?"

The old man hit the nail on the head: "Northern Zhili, especially the Beijing-Tianjin area is short of water! Not only the surrounding counties are short of water, but even the capital city is severely short of water. It is difficult to drink water, let alone farming! If the emperor wants to let the people in the capital area To get rid of poverty, the people must have enough water to irrigate their crops, otherwise it will be useless to avoid taxes for many years, and those who should be poor will still be poor!"

Zhu Yujian pondered for a moment, bowed his hands to the old man, and said, "The old man's insights have benefited me a lot. I have been taught! I assure you that I will solve these two problems within ten years!"

The old people present were all stunned: "Ten years!?"

Zhu Yujian smiled: "Of course I can't rely on me alone, but I still have the champion. With him, these problems are not difficult."

The emperor laid down the burden too simply, but those old people nodded as a matter of course.Yang Menglong, he can even do artificial rainfall, what else can he not do?Alright, Champion, we're counting on you!

Yang Menglong sneezed fiercely in his sleep!
I chatted with these old people for a long time, until the guards came in with food, Zhu Yujian realized that it was almost noon.He smiled, and said to the old people: "Elders, eat here first, and I will go and see the gangsters... They are all strong laborers. I really don't want them to kneel and die there." He bowed his hands to those old people again, and walked out quickly with a relieved Fang Yizhi.He knew that to solve the water problem in the Beijing-Tianjin area, a large number of water conservancy projects must be launched, and a large number of labor forces will be restored at that time, and those officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army...letting them fight can't be done, so it shouldn't be a problem to let them work hard. ?
The old men looked at each other and felt a chill inexplicably, and they could only secretly sympathize with those unlucky Guan Ning soldiers in their hearts.
