The winner is king in the late Ming Dynasty

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was a rare sandstorm in the capital, Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, waiting for the civil and military officials to go to court, but this day was very unexpected, the bell rang, there was no one among the civil and military officials, Chongzhen walked in the hall, scolded: "I am not the king of the dead country, why do I have the appearance of the dead country!"

Phenomenal coincidences, all the officials were all late, Chongzhen felt the tragedy of the building about to fall, and also felt the irreparable of the Ming Dynasty, helpless to the silent minister can only sigh in his heart.

Li Zicheng is Dingxi'an changed the name of Dashun Yongchang, sealed the six officials, Lin Yi is the Guangdong Yongwu general he sealed, Li Zicheng didn't know that two months ago, Lin Yi eliminated more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, because of the blockage of the news, Li Zicheng only cared about the things in front of him, he asked people to give Chongzhen a challenge book, and prepared to attack the Beijing division.

Chongzhen now only has one army and horses to mobilize, that is, Guanning Iron Cavalry, as for the Guangdong soldiers and horses that transferred Lin Yi, the first is speed, Wu Fu just said that, the people sent to find Wang Xiang are not so fast at all.

The second is, after finding Wang Xiang, whether he can be mobilized or how much he can mobilize is unknown, Chongzhen felt sad, he made an appointment to meet Wu Sangui's father, complaining that in his inner treasury, there were only more than 70,000 taels of silver, and he couldn't afford to pay the million military expenses of Guanning Iron Cavalry.

Later, it was rumored among the people that Chongzhen had 37 million silver, and that was all a lie, Chongzhen really had no money, how much did 37 million silver weigh? How many donkeys did Li Zicheng have a heart that everyone knows is fake, and the story says that Li Zicheng occupied the capital for 40 days and used a donkey cart to pull all of them back to his hometown, but in fact they were all deceitful.

Lin Yi has many donkeys himself, Lin Yi knows in his heart, it is not enough to do farm work, how many donkeys can Li Zicheng can take, Lin Yi has to pull more than one million taels of silver for several days, so Chongzhen really has no money.

Chongzhen's silver has only three sources, the first is the income of the imperial estate, this income is dead, 30,000 taels of silver in a Chinese New Year's Eve, the second income is the inheritance, inheriting the money of the previous emperor, and the third source is tribute.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is like this, Chongzhen's inner treasury really has no silver, and the apocalypse did not leave him an inheritance, and he paid tribute? Lin Yi gave him two submachine guns, if Chongzhen can use it, he can find Li Zicheng to fight alone, or he can change history.

In the years that Chongzhen has been in power, only the income of Huangzhuang is a little more stable, but a little in the east and a little in the west, and the royal people have to use the etiquette for eating, and now there are only 70,000 yuan, and there is really no money.

In the former Ming Dynasty, a million silver was a drop in the bucket, and now Chongzhen can't take it out, and the matter of transferring Ning Tie to enter the pass has been shelved, and there is a huge problem, transferring Ning Tie to ride into the pass to beat Li Zicheng and guard the Jingshi, so he has to give up Ning Yuan, and the nine sides are handed over, this pot Chongzhen can't be back, and it is infamous through the ages.

This pot needs Wu Sangui's father to carry it, Wu Sangui's father is ready to carry the pot, that is, to Chongzhen millions of silver, Chongzhen can't take it out, and there are people in the court who oppose it.

The court was not in harmony with the monarchs and ministers, Chongzhen began to ponder, he came up with an idea to ask the ministers to donate money, he knew that these ministers had money in their families, so a farce was staged.

When Sun Chuanting did not die, the squires donated a few hundred taels to Daming and tens of thousands of taels to Sun Chuanting.

Now Chongzhen has taken the old path of Sun Chuanting, these ministers don't give him money at all, and now the farce has not been staged, it is already on the verge of staging, and Wu Sangui, whom Chongzhen is counting on, is now being persuaded by the Manchus to surrender.

At this time, Lin Yi was debugging the telegraph, and the Guangxi side could already be electrified, and the agreement was to power on once a day at eight o'clock in the morning and eight o'clock in the evening, and at twelve o'clock in the evening, turn on the phone and try to contact it once, no communication, unless there is something important.

The three time periods of the day are divided, the matter of mining in Guangxi, Lin Yi thinks simply, the shaft roadway support technology, the coal mining technology, Lin Yi did not go to the field investigation, the mining conditions are very difficult and difficult, just a shaft head, it took several months, and various problems emerge one after another.

If there was no pump, a heavy rain a few months ago would have drowned all of Lin Yi's hard work, and now the mine has hit dozens of meters, and you can hit three meters a day, that is, Lin Yi will burn high incense.

Dozens of catties, 100 catties, 200 catties of coal, after digging out, at most to refine copper shell bullets, it is not enough at all, the melting point of copper is only more than 1,000 degrees, and a better charcoal can do it, what Lin Yi needs is coal to make iron, and cut trees to refine charcoal to make bullets.

Now this little bit of coal, Lin Yi can't do anything, Lin Yi feels that there are more than September this year, and he may not be able to mine a large amount of coal, and now Lin Yi is really lacking, and the coal in the entire Guangdong has been exhausted by him, so he has bought such a small family business.

There is coal in Shanxi, Lin Yi can't fly over, and the materials can't be transported at all, Lin Yi is in a hurry, in his memory, coal resources are limited, and there are only a few shallow coals.

There are many coal mines more than 300 meters Lin Yi, they can't be mined, Lin Yi doesn't have such a big ability, after thinking about it, Lin Yi decided to hold a meeting, convene the masters of the factory, and ask their opinions.

Lin Yi came in person, a group of workers, technicians all knew that there was going to be a problem, Lin Yi first hung up an output table, Lin Yi New Year's January, because of the New Year, the output dropped seriously, two hundred submachine guns were manufactured, four machine guns, six rifles, and two thousand rounds of bullets.

The submachine gun has moisture, because it is the earliest to be made, the highest output, the most complete parts, and the most barrels, so it is very convenient to assemble, Lin Yi pointed to the drawings and said: "Now we have difficulties, I hope everyone will overcome this difficulty with me

!" "What's wrong with

Mr. Lin?" "What are the difficulties, Mr. Lin said

!" "We all resolutely obey Mr. Lin's command!"

Looking below, Lin Yi felt very relieved, and then said: "An important link in the westward expansion plan, coal mining has encountered unprecedented resistance, and we will face a situation where there is no coal to use, and there will be no good steel without coal."

Without good steel, our machinery will not have good parts, and our munitions will not be able to be manufactured, and now this problem is very serious, do you know where you can get coal from nearby? Even if it is the smallest coal field, our factory is about to be unable to open the pot

!" At this time, in the crowd, a hand was raised, and when Lin Yi saw it, he immediately shouted: "Stand up and speak!"
