Chongzhen Undergraduates

Then you can only rely on the crowd to pile up, even if this kind of crowd tactics will consume a lot of reserves.However, Zhu Youjian's four-wheeled carriage technology, which has been vigorously developed, has to take on the heavy responsibility again.

"Such a large-scale consumption, I am afraid that we will use up our three-year savings!" Zhu Youjian sighed.

"If there were no large immigrants from Liaodong, things might have eased a lot." A voice came in from outside.Zuo Maodi came to report to Zhu You after completing the mission in the capital.

"Has Zuo Aiqing finished the matter?" Zhu Youjian had already guessed from the look on Zuo Maodi's face that the matter in the capital was over.

"The Eight Banners have agreed to disarm and return to the land, but they want to return to Liaodong. They said that in this way, I would not have to emigrate to Liaodong." Zuo Maodi said.

"They have a good idea. Do you want to go back to the mountains for a few years? The immigration from Liaodong must not stop. Even if I build a new ship now, I will continue to promote the immigration from Liaodong.

In addition, these Jurchens had to cut their braids, change their clothes, change their surnames, return to farming, and abandon Manchu.I have given them the same treatment as the Han people, which is already kind enough, what is there to be dissatisfied with?" Zhu Youjian said.

"In this case, food is a big problem. The reclamation of the entire Northeast will take at least three years, and it has been relying on the support of the imperial court before that. The people in the north are really too poor, and it would be good to have enough food within two years .

The minister was visiting Zu Dashou's house in the capital, and Zu Dashou couldn't even bring out a fish weighing half a catty.It is said that all the fish in the Yongding River have been fished out.The people in the entire northern Zhili are about to eat grass roots and tree bark. " Zuo Maodi said and fell asleep and shed tears.

"So serious?" Zhu Youjian was shocked when he heard this. He even wondered whether Hong Chengchou could survive this year if he didn't make the Northern Expedition this year.But then I thought again, if Hong Chengchou turned the north back, with their pissing nature, I am afraid that the whole north will become like a grassland, with thousands of miles of uninhabited people.At that time, who was most disadvantaged? Of course it was Daming.

Although Daming took over a mess, at least the people are still alive.

"I learned from the puppet officials in the capital that after the Jianghuai War, there was no source of tax revenue for the entire Houjin, and the treasury of the Houjin was still empty. Dorgon went to Liaodong with what little money he had, leaving it to the Hong Chengchou's is just a huge empty shell.

On the one hand, Hong Chengchou had to maintain a confrontation with our army and maintain a large army; on the other hand, he also had to support a group of Eight Banners who were not doing production.In this way, the people can only be exploited desperately, and because the people do not receive material support, they have to be encircled by various bannermen and packers, making them even more impoverished..."

The situation Zuo Maodi said is completely in line with the real situation in the early Qing Dynasty.If it weren't for the surrender of Jiangnan, how could the Manchu Qing have stabilized the north by relying on the Eight Banners?It is estimated that all the northerners were slaughtered.

"This bastard Hong Chengchou is really cruel to his compatriots in order to curry favor with the bannermen." Zhu Youjian felt his heart bleed when he heard that, why didn't all his means be used for the national economy and the people's livelihood for such an obviously capable person.All his life, he has been playing tricks and tricks, relying on manipulating events and suppressing opponents to get promoted all the way.

Common people, ordinary people, are really nothing in his eyes.This is Hong Chengchou, don't say that he is trying to protect the overall situation, it is just that he is trying to prove his ability.

"Where is Hong Chengchou?" Wang Chengen interjected suddenly with his eyes wide open.

"He is guarded by the First Cavalry Army," Zuo Maodi said.

"The old slave wants to bite him to death." Wang Chengen didn't behave like a eunuch next to the emperor at all, he was simply presumptuous.

"Wang Chengen, you go to the capital first, and cooperate with Chen Jinnan to find out the ironclad evidence of those heinous traitors. If I really let these people go so easily, I will be ashamed of the world." Zhu Youjian bit Teeth said.

"Your majesty, we promised not to kill..." Zuo Maodi rushed to say.

"That's a promise to people. Some people are not worthy of being human. They are animals. Only by killing these animals will the world be truly peaceful." Zhu Youjian couldn't say more.

He also knew very well in his heart that the world had been in turmoil for a long time, and after the capital was recovered, the world needed an explanation. Chongzhen could not shoulder this responsibility, and he could only find a group of people to come out and lose their heads.

"Thank you Long Live, old slave!" Wang Chengen prostrated himself on the ground, he knew in his heart that this thank you was not because Xie Zhu Youjian gave him the right to kill, but because he gave him a chance to release his anger.

"Zuo Aiqing, go tell Li Yan that I want to meet Hong Chengchou." Zhu Youjian said.

"Your Majesty, the three of us?" Zuo Mao was stunned for the first time.

"Yes."

Chapter 538: Dust to dust or dust to dust

The first cavalry army was stationed in Nanyuan, mainly because the battle damage was relatively large and they needed to rest on the spot.From army commander Li Laiheng to ordinary soldiers, five thousand cavalry troops died in battle and more than 1 were injured.It can be said that [-]% of the halberd has been broken, which is very cruel.

In comparison, Liu Tichun and Yuan Zongdi's troops were just hungry and dizzy subordinates, and it would take more than half a year for the First Cavalry Army to recover their combat power.But now that the north has been recovered, the garrison of the first cavalry army will definitely move northward to supply the horses nearby.

In a small manor in Nanyuan, the heavily guarded perimeter and the layers of green brick houses make people think that this is the ancestral home of a wealthy family, and no one would think that this is a prison.

In a small courtyard in the middle of the courtyard, Hong Chengchou was taking a walk in the courtyard.He was still flushed, as if the war hadn't affected him in the slightest.

The Ming army did not abuse him, but gave him considerable freedom.In addition to not assigning many people to take care of him, he now eats well, sleeps well, has no affairs, and is peaceful and peaceful, which is much more nourishing than in the past few years in the capital.

Hong Chengchou walked slowly, looking around, the courtyard was full of spring and full of vitality.

Some strands of catkins floated over and landed gently on his shoulders and body, Hong Chengchou flicked gently, trying to flick off the catkins on his body with his orchid fingers.However, Yang Xu is not dust, and it cannot be easily flicked off, so you have to blow it with your mouth.

Hong Chengchou thought of the sky prison in Shengjing ten years ago. He also flicked off the dust freely, but he was treated and favored by Huang Taiji, and finally even met the empress dowager.

The current treatment is very similar to that at the beginning. It seems that the kings of this world love talents. He Hong Chengchou is the crouching dragon and phoenix chick of today's world. He will be valued wherever he goes.

Hong Chengchou thought about everything in the world. He didn't think Zhu Youjian was a talent, because he had been with Zhu Youjian for many years and knew the emperor's weight too well.From the bottom of his heart, Hong Chengchou actually looked down on Zhu Youjian. If it weren't for his different reincarnations, Hong Chengchou felt that the world would be peaceful when he became emperor, and he is No. 1 in this world.

No, Li Yan came out of the south, and this kid can actually defeat him, he is considered a character.However, Li Yan's strategy was not very clever, and the whole development of the war was entirely due to his bad luck.

There was a sound of unlocking the door outside the courtyard, which aroused Hong Chengchou's guess.It's not time for the meal, it's not the time for the meal delivery, the difficulty is that Zhu Youjian sent someone to persuade him to surrender?

"Then I must hold on for a few days and wait for them to offer greater benefits. I can't just agree so easily, at least I have to be named a prince..." Hong Chengchou was thinking wildly.

The door opened, and Hong Chengchou caught the nervous application of the little soldier guarding the door. It was obvious that the people who came this time were not ordinary people.Ordinary people can't tell the importance of Hong Chengchou.

Two middle-aged people, old and young, walked in from the door. He knew the old one. It was Zuo Maodi, and it was said that he was also a famous adviser to Zhu Youjian in the Southern Dynasty.

The younger Hong Chengchou didn't know him, but from his clothes, he should have a high official position, and his calm and steady expression was enough for Hong Chengchou to find the same kind of feeling from him.

"Hong Chengchou, let me introduce you. This is the current Chief Assistant of our Ming Dynasty - Li Yan, Master Li." Zuo Maodi was not polite, and introduced Li Yan as soon as he came up.

"I've admired him for a long time, I'm disrespectful and disrespectful!" Hong Chengchou was neither humble nor overbearing, as if his self-cultivation was much higher than Li Yan's.At least in terms of momentum, Hong Chengchou must not be shorter than others.

"Crazy Hong's name is like a thunderbolt. It's a great fortune to meet you today." Li Yan clasped his fists and shook his hands, as if he had seen the ceremony.He wasn't that interested in Hong Chengchou, if Zhu Youjian hadn't asked him to come with him, he wouldn't have wanted to come.

"The two adults are taking care of everything every day, let's see what the old man is talking about?" Hong Chengchou was extremely proud, especially the appearance of Li Yan made him feel even more honorable.He is as proud as Huangtaiji personally brought Dayuer to persuade him to surrender.

"We came to announce the decree. The emperor has already issued an oral order." Li Yan spoke slowly, Hong Chengchou pretended not to care, but actually pricked up his ears. Zhu Youjian's oral order must have something to do with him.

"The emperor ordered that Hong Chengchou does not have to escort the capital, and he will be executed on the spot on a certain day." Zuo Maodi added the second half of the sentence.

Then, I saw Hong Chengchou tremble and almost lost his footing.He still pretended to be calm, but in fact the sky in his heart had already collapsed.It's ridiculous that I thought Li Yan came here to persuade me to surrender, but he came here to see how the opponent's head fell.

Li Yan and Zuo Maodi didn't stay long, they left soon, and the two left talking and laughing, leaving only Hong Chengchou who was in a daze.

In the courtyard next door, Zhu Youjian was setting up a banquet and pulling Li Yan and Zuo Maodi to sit down and drink and chat.

"Your Majesty didn't just ask us to come here to sentence Crazy Hong to death, did he?" Li Yan was puzzled by this matter, he really didn't see what Zhu Youjian was going to do.

"Hong Chengchou's overall strategy view is incomparable to the three of us together, but I can't forgive him because of this. So, I bring you to meet him this time, and I still hope to listen to him before he dies." From the heart." Zhu Youjian said.

"I'm afraid that people like him can't believe what they say." Zuo Maodi said.

"Lord Zuo is too worried. Although I am not as wise as Hong Chengchou, I can still tell the good from the bad." Li Yan said confidently.

"This is correct, otherwise I wouldn't dare to kill him." Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, Hong Chengchou will definitely make trouble soon."

"It shouldn't be! He is dignified anyway..."

Before Zuo Maodi finished speaking, a guard came in from the gate and said, "Report to the emperor, Hong Chengchou is clamoring to see you."
