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

The reeds here are connected into a piece, and looking around, it looks like a withered and yellow world.

"Drive!"

Suddenly a ride came, startling the teal ducks, and flew into the distance, turning into a string of small black dots.

"Gusha! Gusha!"

Only a cry was left, dissipating in the sky.

Not long after, the cavalry arrived in front of the reed. After exchanging commands with the soldiers who emerged from the reed, they were brought to Niu Wancai, Zhao Yingyuan and Zuo Guangxian.

As early as the Battle of Baoding, Niu Wancai and Zuo Guangxian were ready to fish in troubled waters.

When Liu Fangliang personally left the field, the army was in chaos, and the two men led the team and broke away from the army.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yingyuan caught up with him before he ran very far.

The three of them briefly discussed and immediately brought the team here.

"General, I have already investigated clearly. Emperor Ming ordered people to disperse and forced various places to give money and food."

Zuo Guang frowned first: "Brothers, what do you think?"

Niu Wancai looked at Zhao Yingyuan.

In history, Zhao Yingyuan left Li Zicheng after Chongzhen's death and came to Shandong. After Li Zicheng failed and the Qing army entered the pass, Zhao Yingyuan killed Wang Aoyong sent by the Qing court.

He took over all the land in Shandong, proclaimed King Heng Zhu Youchun as the emperor, and prepared to hold a coronation ceremony on the eighth day of October to "help King Heng sit in the palace" in order to call on the world.

Who knew that Zhu Youyi only wanted to surrender to the Qing court and was unwilling to live or die... Later, the Qing army soldiers rushed to Shandong. After Zhao Yingyuan was defeated, he was trapped and killed by the Qing court.

As for Niu Wancai and Zuo Guangxian, both of them were heroes who fought against the Qing Dynasty.

Zhao Yingyuan thought for a moment and said:

"It depends on what the two brothers plan?

If we just want a corner of peace, we can just cancel Shandong! "

Zhao Yingyuan asked the two of them to squat down, picked up a reed pole, and drew a simple map with a few strokes:

"You see, in addition to Dashun and Minghuang, there are five forces in Jiangbei now.

Zuo Liangyu, who occupied Wuchang and was fighting with Bai Wang, was the only Ming general still fighting against Dashun.

In addition, there are four others who have fled to southern Zhili territory——

Gao Jie, who fled all the way from Shaanxi to the Huaihe River after hearing about Dashun's eastward advance;

Liu Zeqing abandoned Shandong and fled to Huai'an Prefecture;

As well as Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong, who fled from the battlefield in Henan to Nanzhili. "

Cyan Liu Zeqing, red Gao Ze, black yellow Degong, yellow Liu Liangzuo, the upper point is the original position, the lower circle is the escape position

Niu Wancai and Zhao Yingyuan were stunned.

Is this a power vacuum?

Zhao Yingyuan drew a shallow ditch from south to north on the map:

"We are on the left bank of the canal at this time, Li Guo is here, and Emperor Ming is not far from us.

I judge that Li Guo will definitely not go to war with Emperor Ming. The most likely thing he will do is wait for Emperor Ming to leave and seize Xuzhou immediately! "

"In other words, there will be a vacuum period in Shandong?"

Niu Wancai and Zuo Guangxian said in unison.

"That's why I asked my two brothers what they planned!"

Zhao Yingyuan dropped the reed pole and remained silent.

He really wanted to dominate the mountains in Shandong and become the king. How comfortable that would be!

big deal...

Find a member of the Ming Dynasty royal family and put it on your head!

Just like the South does.

However - he knew that he could never bring it up like this.

Niu Wancai and Zuo Guangxian had always had a very good relationship, and Zuo Guangxian was from the Yulin army and surrendered to Li Zicheng only after defeat.

Zuo Guangxian still had the Ming Dynasty in mind, and he would join him sooner or later.

As for Niu Wanchai, as a brother, he would naturally follow Zuo Guangxian's footsteps.

After all, their Gezuo Fifth Battalion has always been inclined towards Zhao'an.

If he revealed his plan, these two people would probably kill him directly and annex his troops...

Niu Wancai looked at Zuo Guangxian:

"Lao Zuo, what do you mean?"

Zuo Guang first lowered his head and remained silent.

Niu Wancai pushed him, and Zuo Guangxian raised his head, his eyes already turned red:

"Do you two brothers know my Yulin story?"

Yulin!

Niu Wancai and Zhao Yingyuan couldn't help but shudder.

Yulin...

Yulinwei is affiliated to Yansui Town, which was an important nine-border town in the Ming Dynasty.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: "Yulin is the most powerful town in the world. It has the best soldiers and the most generals. However, its land is the most barren and its pay is the least."

Last winter, Li Zicheng stormed Yulin with an army of [-].

As for Yulin, there are less than 5000 people...

At this time, Yulin's general army fled, Yansui Governor Cui Yuan had just been dismissed, and the new governor Zhang Fengyi had not yet arrived. Without a leader, only the former Shanhaiguan Chief Military Officer You Shiwei, the former Shanhaizuo Chief Military Officer Wang Shiqin, and the former Shanhaiguan General Military Officer were left. Hou Shilu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, Yang Ming, the former deputy commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, Zhang Fa, the former deputy commander-in-chief of Dingbian, Wang Yongzuo, the former deputy commander-in-chief of Gushan, etc... The veteran generals who were idle at home killed the intruders in a river of blood.

Li Zicheng was forced to bring in heavy artillery and destroyed Yulin City.

After the city was broken, Yulin men, women, old and young all went into battle...

Rivers of blood!

No one in Yulin survived...

Zuo Guang raised his head first, his eyes blood red:

"I am a Yulin traitor..."

He was a Yulin warrior dispatched by the imperial court to encircle and suppress the rogue bandits. He surrendered after losing the battle with Li Zicheng and being captured.

Niu Wancai sighed and patted Zuo Guangxian on the shoulder:

"As a brother, just one thing, no matter what you decide, brother, I will support you!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yingyuan frowned, but when Niu Wancai looked over, he quickly expressed his stance:

"My younger brother only follows the lead of his two older brothers."

"Your Majesty is short of money..."

Zuo Guang first took a deep breath:

“We, the Yulin people, have been guarding the border for our country for generations, and our ancestors have been eating this food for generations!

Mr. Guang's cheating has already brought shame to our ancestors, and I can't make any more mistakes. "

"Okay, then my brother will accompany you to serve the emperor!"

Niu Wancai squeezed Zuo Guangxian's shoulder hard.

Zuo Guangxian smiled gratefully, but then said:

"Your Majesty is short of money, and Liaodong has emptied His Majesty's internal treasury. I, Yulin, have a straight character in life, and I am not willing to kowtow to villains. The food and salary that Yulin receives has always been the lowest among Jiubian.

Otherwise..."

In the late Ming Dynasty, Yulin's soldiers and horses were the most capable of fighting, and the backbone of Sun Chuanting's soldiers and horses were from Yulin.

However, the treatment in Yulin is also the worst!

Just because there is no one to brag for them...

Dong Lin: "MMP, apart from floating away as usual, I didn't charge you more money, so why should I brag for you?"

Regarding drifting, there are two classic ones. Let’s take Yuandudu and Jiangsu and Zhejiang as examples!

First, Yuandudu reported that he wanted to buy 100 million stone beans. In the end, he reported to Shu that he had purchased less than 70 stone. Because the price was too high, the remaining [-]% of the amount was nothing.

42. In the second year of Chongzhen, Zhejiang sent an additional 22 taels of Liao pay. The official Shangshu said that he would only give 20 taels, and the debt was 8 taels. Shangshuzhong said that he would give 4 taels first, and there were still 38 taels on the way. In the end, only [-] taels were delivered, and the remaining [-] taels were left alone. The rate is less than one-tenth, a little more than half of the second-lowest rate in the country!

This is still the richest region in the country...
