Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian really has a love for talents.

Not only talking about Li Laiheng's ability, but also relying on his actions in later generations, Zhu Youjian will also make him prosperous throughout his life.

Hearing the emperor's words, Li Laiheng was stunned.

He opened his eyes and said in surprise:

"Your Majesty won't kill me?"

"The general is a hero. If I kill you, the country will suffer losses!" Zhu Youjian promised seriously.

Seeing the sincerity on the emperor's face, Li Laiheng was filled with guilt. He owed the emperor so much!

"Your Majesty, please speak clearly." The color returned to Li Laiheng's face.

No one wants to die if they can live.

"Earlier, I made a bet with you on the gain and loss of the capital, and today this bet is still valid.

Today I will make another agreement with you:

Before the bet between you and me is completed - you can stay with me with peace of mind, and I can make it known to the public on the grounds that you have been separated from the army, so as to satisfy your filial piety.

But you are not allowed to abscond, so what? "

Zhu Youjian once again dug a hole for the honest man.

Of course, honest people will be caught picking up the wool!

How delicious it is!

Li Laiheng was keenly aware of what Zhu Youjian didn't say. He raised his head, looked at the emperor and said:

"And after that?"

Zhu Youjian smiled.

There is a door!

"If Li Zicheng secures his position in the capital within two months, I will let you go back. From now on, when we meet on the battlefield, you and I will each rely on our abilities.

If Li Zicheng loses the capital, you will serve me!

how is it? "

Li Laiheng sighed.

The emperor's words were full of protection...

Emperor Ming was really nice to him!

"I am willing to accept this appointment, but I have one more thing to say."

Zhu Youjian laughed, stepped forward again, and personally untied Li Laiheng:

"Don't worry, Li Zicheng's uncle and nephew have a close friendship with you.

I promise I won’t let you take action against Li Zicheng, how about that? "

Li Laiheng sighed, since the emperor had already considered what he least wanted to do for him, what else could he say?

Li Laiheng bowed his head to the ground and said, "Laiheng thanks your majesty for not killing me."

Then stay with Emperor Ming for a while.

At once……

Just think of it as being his personal guard for a period of time...

……

The head of Bazhou City.

Wu Piaolin let out a long sigh.

Ever since the intruders started attacking the camp, he had been coming to the city.

When Zhang Luofu arrived, he understood one thing - the Warring States Period had begun!

Wu Piaolin looked at the north, shook his head and smiled bitterly:

I made my bet too early!

Emperor Ming has abandoned the north, which is only a burden. I am afraid that he will imitate Taizu's old wisdom in an instant!

With Emperor Ming's methods, even the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River had to submit.

But what he couldn't understand was whether Emperor Ming, who had a strong personality, could imitate Emperor Guangwu's old wisdom?

If he could tolerate being like the Eastern Han Dynasty, sitting back and watching the family grow bigger for the sake of unifying the world, Emperor Ming would definitely be able to sweep the north within three years...

If Emperor Ming doesn't want to see the imperial power being emptied out again, with his experience in governing, I'm afraid even the Jiangnan clan won't last ten years...

He miscalculated!

"Da Shan, send another [-] silver to Emperor Ming."

Wu Piaolin smiled bitterly.

It seemed that he would only end up being a rich man.

"Ah!" Wu Dashan was stunned: "Master, are you still giving it away?"

Oh my god!

In the past few days, I have given out gifts worth almost 30 silver!

The master actually wants to send money to Emperor Ming?

"Go!" Wu Piaolin waved his hand. I'm afraid his official career is coming to an end!

It’s only been a few years...

I'd better hurry up and do more military exploits, make some money, and when Emperor Ming comes back, I can be a rich man with peace of mind...

Being an official for thousands of miles is just for food, drink and clothing.

It doesn't matter if I give you some money now. I'm gone. I have a guarantee from Emperor Ming. I can make a fortune quickly in the next few years so that I can cultivate the next generation in peace...

……

Li Laiheng did what he said, he really protected Zhu Youjian, and even used a whistle stick as a weapon to avoid suspicion.

Just when the army was leaving camp, they once again received 2 taels of silver sent by Wu Piaolin.

……

When receiving the money, Zhu Youjian did not hide it from Liu Tichun and Li Laiheng.

Liu Tichun approached Li Laiheng:

"Major General, I really got you right. Wu Piaolin is really..."

As soon as the words came out, Liu Tichun, who knew he had made a mistake, quickly covered his mouth.

The emperor is not bad to him, so why is he getting involved in such nonsense!

Liu Tichun wished he could cut his head open to see how much water was filled inside!

How could you be so stupid!

Li Laiheng smiled bitterly.

Even if you know it, so what?

He had calculated everything, but he never imagined that he would fall into the hands of Emperor Ming again...

This time, he even got involved!

……

A raid on the camp allowed Zhu Youjian to obtain another thousand fine cavalry and even two thousand large animals. Zhu Youjian suddenly became stronger.

He sent someone to Baoding Prefecture to convey a message that the evacuation could begin.

Zhu Youjian himself, with his four thousand stronger cavalry, headed south along the plain between Baiyangdian and Sanjiaodian.

His goal - Dezhou, Shandong.

Food has always been the lifeblood of a country!

Political blackmail and even wars for food are not uncommon!

(If you don’t understand this, you will understand if you pay a little attention to recent world events.)

In the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters occurred frequently, and food became even more precious.

In terms of area, China and Europe are basically about the same size. However, China's environment is worse than most places in the world.

According to historical data, the number of natural disasters that occur in China is eight times that of Europe!

Of course, this kind of badness has also created the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation.

Magnificent, China!

Talking back to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was a dynasty that emphasized agriculture. This may be related to the fact that the Ming Dynasty had the most natural disasters.

Throughout the dynasties, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty issued the most decrees requiring local governments to build granaries, also known as "good granaries".

Of course, there is also the official warehouse!

It is also commonly known as Chang Ping Cang.

Since Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty built a canal to connect Hangou (han), how many stories have happened on this busy grand canal...

When Chengzu moved north, there were Sicang of the Ming Dynasty on the bank of the canal!

The so-called four warehouses are the four major water transport granaries on the canal: Fengji warehouse in Huai'an, Guangyun warehouse in Xuzhou, Dezhou warehouse in Dezhou, and Linqing warehouse in Linqing.

……

Zhu Youjian's goal is very clear - Dezhou Water Transport Warehouse!

Bazhou is less than five hundred miles away from Dezhou, and it is not far from Wuqiao.

This Texas Hold'em is not the scantily clad Texas Hold'em poker game just for scams when browsing some unspeakable little websites, but -

Texas granary!

Just before Li Zicheng surrounded the capital, millions of stones of grain in the Linqing Warehouse had just been transferred to Dezhou Warehouse by the Linqing Guards!

Zhu Youjian's goal was precisely this batch of food - because the capital was short of food.
