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

Liu Fangliang couldn't help but start thinking:

The north is broken. Once it is dragged into a tug-of-war, not to mention the king of Chuang, even the emperor Ming is no match for Jiangnan.

Is it time to change the target of hostility?

……

Seeing that Liu Fangliang understood, Zhu Youjian and Fan Jingwen looked at each other and smiled.

Fan Jingwen thought that the emperor was going to join forces with King Chuang, so he treated Liu Fangliang kindly, but he never expected——

What Emperor Ming wants is not cooperation, but swallowing up Chuangjun...

……

The closest place to Wuqiang is Xian County.

When Ma Dai rushed outside Xianxian City, the county magistrate Liu Kang stood on the top of the city with an embarrassed look.

Looking at the Dashun flag beside him, Liu Kang just wished he could give himself a few slaps.

If you say you surrender, just surrender. Why do you have to be so high-profile?

It's great now——

If he recruits troops to resist, he will definitely not be able to defeat the Ming army. He will definitely be captured when the time comes, following in the footsteps of Xu Hanshan.

No resistance...

Once Emperor Yongchang gets to the bottom of it, he won't be able to live without it!

Liu Kang had completely forgotten that when the Chuang army arrived in Beizhili, after hearing the news, he threw the Ming flag into the toilet and replaced it with the Dashun flag.

Not long after, news came that the invading army had surrounded the capital.

At that time, he was complacent about changing his flag for a long time.

……

Liu Kang was at a loss, but the corners of Ma Dai's mouth curled up.

There are indeed no soldiers on the city!

The emperor guessed correctly!

He pursed his lips at Ma Peng beside him.

Ma Peng rode his horse with one hand and walked slowly to the moat:

"I asked your county magistrate to come out and reply. I will give you a stick of incense within a limited time. If you don't come, my general will attack the city!"

Liu Kang was really frightened by Xu Hanshan's tragic experience. Hearing this, he did not dare to delay and immediately stepped out from behind the female wall.

"I don't dare to bother the general to wait for a long time. The next official is Liu Kang, who will be the magistrate of Xian County..."

"I care who you are!"

Ma Peng spit out dusty spit and said viciously:

"The Emperor has an order. You betray the country and deserve death!"

Liu Kang wailed and said hurriedly: "The military master heard what the official said, it's not the official..."

"What are you talking about with me? Go talk to the emperor!"

Ma Peng's face was impatient, and I almost had a fierce look written on his face.

Continue to say:

"Wu that dog officer, remember this for me. Before sunset, prepare 10 taels of silver, [-] shi of grain, and [-] bundles of hay for me.

If not, add [-] shi of grain, carts, pack horses and other items, [-] households of young and strong draftsmen and their whole families, and [-] households of various craftsmen and their whole families.

There are also three carts each of cloth, oil and salt, and twenty cattle and sheep each...

If you are not ready before sunset, I will strip you naked and hang you up! "

After Ma Peng finished speaking, he returned to his own formation without waiting for Liu Kang's reply.

Liu Kang felt his face turn pale.

This is going to kill him!

It was all the money he had earned through hard work, so why should he give it away like this?

However, if you don’t give it...

Because Xian County is close to Hejian Prefecture and densely populated, more people died in the first round.

He acquired thousands of acres of fertile farmland near the Hutuo River, and tens of thousands of acres of farmland in a slightly inferior place. This was the cornerstone of building a century-old family.

So, Liu Kang moved his family here.

They even built a large courtyard in the city to house their families.

He worked hard to accumulate more than 100 million gold and silver, all of which were in the city.

If the Ming army breaks the city...

Omg!

Isn’t that all in vain?

Liu Kang was in a dilemma, his master came up to him and whispered a few words, Liu Kang's eyes lit up!

……

Wu Qiang.

With his sharp tongue, the first free bodyguard Zhu Youjian got - Li Laiheng, was raising a recruiting flag.

Zhu Youjian believed in him so much that he directly asked him to recruit soldiers.

Because of the reason why Zhu You inspected the grain release before the war, and because he had people spreading the word that the Tatars were about to come again.

The people in the north, who have been robbed many times over the years, have long hated the Tatars.

At this time, as soon as Emperor Ming's recruiting flag was erected, people immediately surrounded him.

"Everyone line up and come one by one, don't be in a hurry!"

The soldiers roared hard and tried their best to maintain order.

There were not many literate soldiers, and Zhu Youjian deliberately used Li Laiheng to make him develop the habit of listening to him.

So that he could subtly accept his command.

Therefore, there was only Li Laiheng as a clerk at Nuoda's recruitment site.

"Name? Place of origin? Age? Height?"

Li Laiheng wrote vigorously and quickly.

"My name is Guo Erniu. I come from Liushu Lane in the east of the city. I'm eighteen this year. I don't know how tall I am?"

The young man wearing tattered clothes scratched his head honestly.

Li Laiheng raised his head, glanced at him, lowered his head and said: "About five feet and one inch, um, he's not small. Go aside and wait!"

There were three sizes of a ruler in the Ming Dynasty: a construction ruler equaled 32 centimeters, a measuring ruler equaled 32.7 centimeters, and a tailoring ruler equaled 34 centimeters.

Guo Erniu is indeed not short at 1.7 meters tall.

Li Laiheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Next, name?"

……

Old Master Wang had been observing for a long time. Seeing that the general was really too busy, he tentatively stepped forward.

"Go, go, why are you joining the queue, old master? Go to the back and line up!"

The people who were queuing up looked at each other angrily when they saw Old Master Wang walking past them.

"You know shit!"

Old Master Wang glanced at everyone.

During these days, he also earned some copper coins, which made him feel a little dizzy.

Old Master Wang cursed, opened the hands of everyone who was blocking him, and approached Li Laiheng:

"Jun, Junye."

Li Laiheng raised his head and saw a middle-aged and elderly man. He frowned slightly and said:

"The military does not recruit people over the age of 40. You are almost [-], so you are too old."

"Ah, no no!"

Old Master Wang was stunned: "Master Jun, I am only 31 years old!"

"Hahahaha!" Everyone in the queue burst into laughter.

What?

Li Laiheng glanced at Old Master Wang, obviously not believing it.

This guy has a wrinkled face, like he's 30 years old?

Seeing that something was about to happen, Old Master Wang hurriedly explained his purpose:

"Master Jun, I am also literate. It is too hard for you alone. Can I help you?"

Seeing Li Laiheng look at him again, he hurriedly said: "The little one doesn't want much, just give me two pieces of silver foam."

Li Laiheng moved his sore wrist, gestured to Old Master Wang to go around the table, and said:

"Here, follow this format, you write it and I have a look."

Old Master Wang coughed lightly and sat down carelessly on the seat that Li Laiheng had given up. He looked at the kid in front of him who was the most hesitant just now:

"Name? Place of origin? Age? Height?"

"Well, Mr. Wang, don't you know what my name is? I'm from this neighborhood, but you've forgotten it?"
