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

"Report to the General!

A hundred miles behind Gong Dingzi, there was a fleet of ships, galloping towards them. "

On a twelfth lunar month day, the spies were covered in white mist.

There is white frost on the beard and eyebrows.

There are even a few ice ridges hanging down from the brim of the hat.

It was obvious that he had come back at a gallop.

Old Fu suddenly stood up and reached out to hold the long knife at his waist.

A face that looked like an old farmer's, with murderous intent rising:

"How many turtle sons are there?"

The spy glanced at Lao Fu and then at Li Benzhen.

Li Benzhen waved his hand:

"Report truthfully."

"Reporting to the deputy general, there are more than [-] large and small boats to assist the Qing army.

Based on the size of the ship, draft, camp flag, etc., it can be estimated that the number of reinforcements is about [-]. "

"7000 people"?

Li Benshen raised his eyebrows.

After Gong Dingzi paid tribute, he quickly headed south - this group of people must have come for a surprise attack.

In other words, these 7000 people are all elites!

According to the capabilities of the Qing soldiers, these people should all be from Han banners!

Li Benshen stared:

"Have you ever seen Xu Dingguo's flag?"

Xu Dingguo killed his uncle Gao Jie.

Li Benzhen had long wanted to avenge this.

I can only regret that this old boy has been hiding behind the Qing army since he escaped from the Yellow River, refusing to show his face.

The spy shook his head:

"General Qi, there is no banner with the word "Xu".

"Damn!"

Li Benzhen punched the table and cursed angrily through gritted teeth.

But Lao Fu stared and said loudly:

"Have you ever seen clearly whose flag is flying?"

"The banner with the word "Hong"."

The spy hesitated a little, and there was some uncertainty in his words:

"It's just that the ship where the general's flag is located is not the one with the best protection.

Therefore, his subordinates did not dare to determine whether he was leading the army. "

"Fuck!"

The old man took a breath.

He took a deep breath and looked at Li Benzhen.

By coincidence, Li Benzhen also looked at Lao Fu.

The two said in unison:

"This turtle son Dorgon went south!"

"The old yin dog Dorgon has gone south!"

The two of them ignored it and both understood that Dorgon's use of Hong Chengchou must be a deception!

Li Benzhen waved his hand and said to the spy:

"Explore again!"

After the spy sped away, Li Benzhen looked at Lao Fu:

"Hong Chengchou, the turtle grandson, is here."

Old Fu squinted his eyes:

"This son of a bitch, His Majesty has so much trust in him that he directly appointed him as the governor of the five provinces!

Unexpectedly, this old grandson actually defected to the Tatars. "

"Don't mention Hong Chengchou in advance!"

Li Benshen frowned:

"Old Fu, I have a guess. This time, Dorgon's goal is not just Xuzhou!"

"General means..."

The old man stared and pointed to the compass:

"Yangzhou?"

"Yangzhou!"

Li Benzhen waved his hand and said decisively:

"Xuzhou must be a test!

This is what tests us!

This guy Dorgon is a very thief. I bet that this guy will definitely let people attack Xuzhou and mobilize us!

If my guess is correct, it will be this old boy Hong Chengchou who goes to fight Xuzhou!

If he could win it, he would definitely defend Xuzhou to death.

If we take strict precautions in Xuzhou and the Qing army does not see the opportunity to seize it, Dorgon will definitely let him go directly to Yangzhou! "

Old Fu stood up:

"Then do we need to change our plan?"

Old Fu smiled sinisterly:

"We have to step aside anyway!

As the old saying goes, if you spank your children on a rainy day, you will be idle!

If we dedicate Hong Chengchou, our great grandson, to His Majesty, we will definitely see His Majesty during this year's Zhengdan Dynasty!

Do you want... to cheat on him halfway? "

Old Fu licked the corner of his mouth.

Hong Chengchou!

If this turtle grandson is caught by them, not only Mrs. Xing will be knighted.

He and Li Benzhen will definitely be awarded titles!

As long as Hong Chengchou is caught, they will definitely be invited to participate in this year's Zhengdan Dynasty!

——They must have a place among the emperor’s new honorary titles!

Li Benzhen waved his hand:

"There is a lady in Xuzhou, do you still know what she is doing?

As long as Hong Chengchou dares to go, he can't escape! "

The old man was very unwilling, and he tried:

"Then how about we do something in the direction of Yangzhou?

Dorgon couldn't move.

Then fuck Fang Kela!

I heard that Da Yu'er and Xiao Yu'er are sisters. Let's catch them and boil them for the Long Live Lord to wash their feet! "

Li Benzhen shook his head:

"You and I don't want to create extraneous problems.

Your Majesty has already made arrangements, just do our part! "

He said to the old man:

"You send someone to inform Xuzhou that Dorgon and Hong Chengchou are coming.

Tell your wife that it is currently impossible to determine which of the two will attack Xuzhou.

I will send someone to inform Chu Xianzhang and Superintendent Chu! "

Li Ben gave a deep smile:

"I'm afraid Dorgon doesn't know it yet, but His Majesty has already arranged it in Yangzhou!"

Old Fu also smiled:

"The salt industry tycoons in Yangzhou don't even know what is waiting for them!"

Old Fu's eyes were sparkling.

Those salt merchants are all extremely wealthy families!

Especially the Zheng family!

This special girl was a corrupt official during the Jianwen period!

Just feed the Zheng family for 200 years, and get the wealthy (greedy) family of the leader of the salt industry as soon as he leaves the mountain!

The collapse of the Ming Dynasty's border defense military household system was the fault of the wealthy families behind these salt merchants!

Both of them came from the military, so they naturally knew that in the Ming Dynasty's founding policy, the salt industry was actually directly linked to border defense.

The "Kaizhong Law" established by Emperor Hongwu essentially used salt as currency.

——"Called merchants to transport the necessary supplies to the border and exchange them for salt.

Then he took the salt guide to the salt field to collect salt, and then dumped it in separate routes to exchange for money from the people. "

This is the Shiohiki system.

That is, "bartering".

In fact, barter is one of the common methods used in bulk goods transactions, whether in the feudal era or in the national trading system of later generations.

(When it comes to bartering, some people are bound to make a fuss...)

The Ming Dynasty did not issue national currency.

Baochao was the legal tender before the mid-Ming Dynasty.

There will always be people in future generations saying something——

"The Zhu family emperor issued treasure banknotes indiscriminately and did not recycle them...

——It is to plunder wealth from the people. This is the crime of Ming Dynasty’s cruelty to the people. "

Ah!

Very orgasmic.

If you can't hold it back, pull it out of your pants pocket!

Capital finds excuses to whitewash its actions, and a group of idiots follow the trend and add fuel to the flames.

What is money?

currency!

What is currency?

A unit of measure for transaction value!

The original currency was "barter"!

That's right!

Bartering, in principle, is also a form of currency.

Of course, bartering at this time does not mean - I give you a sheep, you give me a hundred catties of grain, this kind of direct transaction.

Instead, both parties find an acceptable third kind of goods and use that goods as the benchmark to measure value.

That is, the earliest "knife coins" and "cloth coins".
