Emperor's Resurrection Tournament: Li Shimin single-handedly cleans the Tumu Fort!

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the sixth day of the second month.

Liu Chan sat in the Wuying Hall and listened to the report of Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

"Your Majesty, at present, Jiangnan has raised 400,000 horses.

The land of Guihe and Liangguang has raised ~ 150,000 horses.

After several years of training, these people are enough to fight the rebel army in the north and Huang Taiji!"

When the surrounding ministers heard this, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

It's finally time for a counteroffensive to the north!

"Five hundred and fifty thousand?

Are there enough of these horses?"

Liu Chan is still a little bottomless in his heart, and there are countless chaotic armies in the north.

After the Golden Emperor Taiji, after looting Shanxi and other places, he recuperated for several years.

"Your Majesty, now the officers and soldiers are well armed and well-trained.

10,000 is enough to fight tens of thousands of rebels. "

Military strategy, leading troops to fight, Sun Chengzong can only be regarded as middle and upper.

But his ability to train soldiers is unique in Daming.

Lu Xiangsheng. "

"The minister is here!"

Lu Xiangsheng, the left attendant of the military department, stood up.

"Order you to lead 250,000 horses and horses to recover Henan and Shandong!"

"Sun Chuanting. "

"The minister is here. "

"The treatment of these two places is the same as that of Jiangnan. "

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Today's Sun Chuanting is not so much leading troops to fight.

It is better to say that it is internal, specifically to deal with the rich gentry and landlords.

Today's Nanjing court has a whole set of methods.

Send the officers and soldiers over first, and kill all the rebels and military leaders who resist.

Then began to liquidate the local officials and the rich gentry and landlords, and many times these people were one.

colluded together, oppressed and extorted the people.

After killing people, it will be a field.

The poor family who has been an official for several years took more of the newly promoted poor family and divided the fields together.

As for the imperial examination system, it cannot be said that it is useless, it can only be said that it is useless.

Liu Chan couldn't care about the consequences of abolishing the imperial examination system.

His idea now is to let more people live.

Let Daming survive for a few more years, and be able to survive this period of continuous natural disasters.

"Scattered. "

After instructing many matters, Liu Chan let the ministers disperse.

Now he's probably back to his laid-back days, and everything is normal.

Large-scale poor disciples, not to mention the ability to do things.

At least be obedient enough not to let Liu Chan be angry to death.

Since there is no imperial examination, there is no so-called seating.

There is no distinction between tanhua and champion.

The only one who judges the officials is ability.

Liu Chan will set a standard, and those who can meet it will be promoted.

The magistrate is to maintain stability, let the people farm the land, and do business.

Don't mess around.

Jingguan is the speed at which things are handled, to see if he can convey his orders.

The imperial court has almost become Liu Chan's mouthpiece.

However, the advantage of this is that the officials promoted by the poor family do not have many ideas of their own.

At least not yet.

Their only standard of action is Liu Chan, the emperor.

Donghua Gate.

Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting walked side by side.

"It's finally time for this day, and I don't know how many people have died in the north?"

"Yes, God has really not given a way to live in the past few years.

Shaanxi has been in drought for five years, and more than 10 other provinces have also been in drought for several years. "

Talking about this, the two just shook their heads.

Originally, five years ago, after defeating Zhang Xianzhong and Gao Yingxiang.

Liu Chan and the imperial court in Nanjing planned to counterattack upward.

However, successive years of drought have put this plan on hold.

Because Jiangnan has suffered a disaster, if there is no Liu Chan, half of the people in eastern Zhejiang may starve to death!

Even Jiangnan, a rich grain producing area, is like this.

Not to mention the people of the northern provinces.

The Jingshi Imperial Court did nothing, and it saw more and more chaotic troops.

Li Zicheng, who fled with more than a dozen people, traveled to several provinces in the past five years.

will be his name as the king of the king, and he will be completely confirmed.

He did one thing, tried to learn Liu Chan.

After snatching the grain, he also helped the people to divide the land as much as possible.

In just five years, he has grown from a dozen people to hundreds of thousands of troops.

Swept through several provinces!

Jingshi Chaotang and Liu Chan were busy dealing with this huge drought and locust plague that lasted for five years.

I can't spare my hands to deal with this king of breaks.

"Lord Lu, the people of Henan and Shandong are up to you!"

Sun Chengzong arched his hand and said.

"Where, what Lord Sun has to do is to keep the local people alive. "

The two bowed hands to each other, and then went their separate ways.

More than 200,000 officers and troops spent a month to assemble the whole army, and then divided into two routes.

One left and one right began the "Northern Expedition"

Hundreds of officials from the Hanmen packed their bags and then headed north with them.

Everywhere he went, he began to kill the rich gentry and landlords, and then all the land.

Of course, before that, it is necessary to open a warehouse to release grain, so that the people will not starve to death.

It's just the scene of the land of Henan.

Shocked everyone!

"Kill!"

The officers and soldiers rushed to kill and strangled the rebel troops in Xiping City one by one.

This is the central part of Henan.

The poor officials who came to punish the rich gentry and landlords.

A sharp question was found.

The rich gentry and landlords were all killed by the rebels.

To be precise, he was killed by Li Zicheng.

All the gold and silver treasures, as well as the grain, have long been plundered by the other side.

"Report!"

Officials from all over Henan reported the situation to Sun Chuanting.

"What, they've all been killed?"

Sun Chuanting encountered the same problem as Li Zicheng back then.

The rich gentry and landlords have been killed, where can they rob the grain?

The granary of the official uniform is also empty.

How to provide disaster relief?

Sun Chuanting, who was helpless, had no choice but to immediately send a letter to Liu Chan and ask for food.

Transported from Jiangnan to Henan for disaster relief.

Shandong has not yet been hit by a chaotic army, and everything is going well.

It's Henan, and Sun Chuanting couldn't use many methods before.

"Your Excellency, go and have a look. "

Just when he was thinking about how to solve the Henan problem.

Someone took him to a village.

An almost abandoned village with only a group of dying old men.

They are also not very old, in their forties.

Placed on top of officialdom, it is precisely to go further.

But in the folk, forty years old is old.

Everywhere there is a world of weeds.

"Lord Sun, many places in Henan are like this.

It's a little better in the city, but it's almost always like this in the countryside.

Only one or two percent of them couldn't walk, and the others didn't follow the rebels.

It's just fleeing and leaving. "

In such a situation, Junda became a joke.

One common man is enough to get hundreds of acres of land, but can he plant so much?

In this era of intensive farming, a family can take care of a maximum of ten acres of land.

More acres of land are still in a state of abandonment.

"Gather the villagers and reclaim the wasteland, and plant as much as you can. "

Sun Chuanting looked at the scene of population loss and barren fields.

I couldn't help but sigh.

It is not everyone who leaves with the rebels, or flees.

He estimated that at least half of them were dead.

Death by starvation, war spreads, and there is always a way to die.

"Yes!"

A few months later, Shandong's renovation was complete.

Henan is like a quagmire, trapping many poor officials in it.

The Jiangnan set is starting to be inapplicable here.

This land, which has been ravaged many times, will take many years to recover.

......

Shanxi.

Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, has more than 300,000 people.

And these are all people who have gone through great wars, not coercion.

Fight against the officers and the rest of the rebels.

It can be said that Li Zicheng has now become the leader of all the rebel armies.

Those who were not convinced were all convinced by him.

"Great King, when Zhu Chongba founded the country, someone once gave him advice.

Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings.

The king should also have a program when he acts in the future. "

Scholar Huang Yu talked eloquently. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Nine-character dialect, is this method still applicable now?"

Li Zicheng asked suspiciously.

He found that he couldn't, and he just did it.

Hearing this, the scholar smiled slightly.

"At that time, there were strong and strong, and there were people in Yuanting. []

Now the king has unified the northwest.

In my opinion, in addition to buying the hearts of the people, you should also play your own banner. "

"Sir taught me. "

Compared with the leaders of other rebel armies, Li Zicheng was very respectful of his advisers and staff.

Always follow their advice.

"There is only one thing you have to do now, my lord.

Let more people live!

And when there was no food, the people opened barns and put grain so that they could have their stomachs full.

And the people who could not cultivate were given oxen and agricultural implements so that they could cultivate the land.

From now on, there's only one thing you have to do, to keep people alive. "

I have to say that this person's vision is quite vicious.

saw the only way Li Zicheng could succeed.

That is to maintain the original intention, so that more people can have food to eat, and will not starve to death.

"In this way, King Chuang seems to be a bit out of place.

Do you think you should change your name?"

Li Zicheng, who has been the king for several years, feels that he can't continue like this.

Otherwise, it will be the next Gao Yingxiang.

The scholar pondered for a moment and shook the feather fan in his hand.

"King, it's better to change King Chuang to King Shun.

You now have 300,000 horses in your hands, and you don't need to break in anymore.

Instead, we need to obey the will of heaven and save the people. "

"King Shun. "

Li Zicheng silently muttered about his new name.

Talking about this topic, the scholar continued to advise.

"Your Majesty, if you really want to take over the world.

You can't just run around like you used to.

It needs to have its own territory, and it needs to have a steady stream of military rations and soldiers.

As long as we can continue to implement the previous program, let the people live.

They only have the truth to support you. "

Li Zicheng has been running around the provinces for several years, and he is indeed a little tired.

"Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer officers and soldiers in the north.

If you concentrate your forces, you may not be able to conquer the territory of several provinces.

But how do you manage the local area?"

The scholar took out the charter he had written and said with a smile.

"The need is the same as that of the court, with a large number of officials.

As for the system, it can be modeled on the court, and six Shangshu Shilang can be set up.

It doesn't matter if there are fewer people at the beginning, there must be a prototype.

After that, it is good to continue to expand the staff. "

What the scholar wants is to become a character like Li Shanchang.

Become the prime minister of the new dynasty.

Li Shanchang back then was also just a showman, and he didn't get into the exam.

It doesn't make sense that others can, I can't!

And Li Zicheng fell into deep thought, this set was something new that he had never gotten before.

As an insurrectionary army, it is natural to go all the way to grab the simplicity and happiness of the road.

But he probably also understood that if he wanted to establish a new dynasty.

You have to do these troublesome things and focus on them.

"As the gentleman said, let's set up the prototype of the imperial court. "

Li Zicheng is a person who listens to persuasion, and he vaguely knows that what the other party said is right.

Ten years ago, how many leaders of the rebel army were, and each of them was more famous than Li Zicheng.

But ten years later, the grass on these people's graves is three feet high.

Just when the two were discussing how to build a new dynasty.

The news of Jiangnan's dispatch of troops came over.

"Report, the imperial court has an army of more than 200,000 and swept through Henan and Shandong!"

When Li Zicheng heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

I remembered again the pain of Jiangnan's defeat.

"More than 200,000 troops, which shows that this is not all the people in Jiangnan!"

Li Zicheng, who heard the words, immediately left the new dynasty behind, and now he has to think about it.

How to live!

"Sir, this Jiangnan emperor has gathered the whole south in recent years.

The place we occupy is far less affluent than others.

Wait until they call, wouldn't it!"

The officials and soldiers in the north were too easy to bully, causing Li Zicheng to almost forget.

Liu Chan, who has been dormant in Jiangnan for five years!

Although he did not use troops against the north, Liu Chan has not been idle.

The whole south was straightened out, food was constantly accumulated, taxes were paid, and new troops were trained.

More importantly, it is to reshape a court.

When Li Zicheng was still thinking about it, Liu Chan already had a complete system of officials who could manage the entire south.

However, Li Zicheng, who was in a panic, didn't know this.

"Sir, is there a good plan?

How to deal with the emperor of Jiangnan!"

Scholar Huang Yu thought for a moment and said.

"There is a plan to dedicate to the king.

The Houjin Emperor Taiji in the north has already broken through Datong.

As long as we completely let go of the right half of Shanxi.

After that, Jin can capture the area around Jingshi.

When the time comes, we will tighten the men and let the emperor of Jiangnan and the Houjin Emperor Taiji fight.

When the time comes, we will reap the benefits of the fisherman. "

Li Zicheng, who heard the words, looked at the map, and the emperor in Jiangnan had recovered Shandong.

If the Houjin Emperor Taiji can take down Beizhili, the two sides will border.

A battle is naturally inevitable.

"What a plan, what a plan!

This trick drives the wolf, and we can watch from the wall no matter what!"

Li Zicheng immediately issued an order to the men and horses in Shanxi to retreat westward.

He also ordered the other rebels there to retreat westward with them.

As the largest rebel army, Li Zicheng was able to command small and medium-sized rebel armies in general.

"Your Majesty, you might as well write another letter to the Emperor Taiji of Houjin.

Let's just say that we are willing to divide the north equally with him, with Shanxi as the boundary, one east and one west. "

In this regard, Li Zicheng hesitated slightly.

He has a bit of self-esteem and doesn't want to work with other races.

However, the scholar's constant admonition made him nod his head.

"In that case, let's join forces with Houjin Emperor Taiji for the time being. "

If there was no dormant emperor in Jiangnan, Li Zicheng would never let Houjin sit big.

Soon, this letter of goodwill was delivered to Huang Taiji.

There is a lot of talk about this.

"This Li Zicheng will still have such a good heart!"

"I can't believe it!"

Instead, it was Fan Wencheng who said leisurely.

"Lord, don't you want Naoli?

If the Jingshi can be captured, the logistics of the Ningjin defense line can be cut off.

When the time comes, they will have nothing but surrender. "

Hearing the word Jingshi, Huang Taiji's heart was hot.

The appearance of Jingshi more than ten years ago is still in his mind.

Gotta take this place!

Huang Taiji raised his head and said solemnly.

"Pass my order and march from the east side of Shanxi!

Capture the Jingshi!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The fiasco of ten years ago made Dolgon and others want to be ashamed.

What's even more enthusiastic is the gold, silver and jewelry that I couldn't get my hands on last time.

If they conquer the Jingshi this time, won't all the good things in it be theirs?

"Lord of the country, what about Li Zicheng?"

Objections were raised.

Fan Wencheng said lightly.

"Li Zicheng wants us to face up to the Ming Emperor in Jiangnan.

But if we don't take the opportunity to take Jingshi and Beizhili.

We're going to fight him on the Ningjin Defense Line!"

He saw Li Zicheng's plan and planned to do it.

Huang Taiji also nodded.

"I can't care so much, let's beat the Jingshi down first!"

At the sound of an order, the 100,000-strong Houjin army marched all the way from the eastern part of Shanxi.

Gallop towards the Beijing Division!

The army is coming, and the people in the Jingshi court are all panicked! .
