Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 91

Summer left quietly and ushered in autumn.

Zhu Biao took Wang Yong with him, and Wang Yong followed Zhu Biao, holding an umbrella for Zhu Biao, and the two walked in the ancient city of Jinling.

There were two or three pedestrians on the street, and their steps were a little hurried, but Zhu Biao walked quietly in the alley, everything was so comfortable.

There is no such pressure as in the previous life, some only have to relax, today Zhu Biao went out of the city, directly rejected Jin Yiwei's secret protection, and took Wang Yong alone.

Since he came to Hongwu and the beginning of the year, Zhu Biao spent most of his time traveling back and forth between the imperial palace and the Science and Technology Bureau, or he traveled to the world in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. This is the first time that he has traveled the ancient city under such a drizzle.

Zhu Biao strolled comfortably in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, everything around him seemed to slow down, and the anxiety and pressure buried in his heart from the previous life seemed to have disappeared at this moment. After traveling for more than half a year, the super high consumption in the previous life did not match that. The pressure brought by consumption-level wages seems to have all left in this drizzle at this moment.

As if a misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River had washed Zhu Biao's soul, if it weren't for the national policy, Zhu Biao, an orphan in his previous life, would have either starved to death early or dropped out of school halfway, how could he have entered the university classroom with the support of poor students and scholarships.

But now the pressure and sensitivity in the depths of the soul are gone at that moment. At this moment, Zhu Biao has a feeling of breaking free from the chain, as if he heard the qi and blood in his body surging, and the strength in his body finally penetrated at this moment. skin.

A misty rain not only washed away Zhu Biao's soul, but also made Zhu Biao step into the realm of dark energy, and even his height seemed to be a little higher. Zhu Biao, who was already more than 1.7 meters tall, was not weaker than the military man at this time. General in the.

Anyone who sees Zhu Biao at this time can't believe that he is just a 13-year-old child, but more like a gentle and peerless son.

Wang Yong, who was holding an umbrella for Zhu Biao beside Zhu Biao, immediately noticed the change of Zhu Biao. Wang Yong did not bother Zhu Biao, and just quietly held an umbrella for Zhu Biao.

Fortunately, there are few pedestrians in the streets, otherwise Zhu Biao would just close his eyes and remain motionless in the middle of the street, and he would be in trouble if he was bumped into. You must know that every deep insight is an opportunity, and once you are interrupted for a while After a while, I won't fall into the epiphany state again.

It didn't take long for Zhu Biao to open his eyes. This time, it wasn't an epiphany, but Zhu Biao completely let go of his past life. Although the memory of this past life dominates, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are all kinds of memories, and the disadvantages are past lives. The pressure and anxiety of buying a house that have been buried deep in my heart for more than 20 years.

"Jiangnan Misty Rain does have a magical power that can make people relax. I always wanted to go to Jiangnan in my previous life, but I didn't have the time and money. This life can be regarded as the fulfillment of my previous dream." Zhu Biao thought to himself.

Zhu Biao stretched his waist, and said to himself: "Once you realize the Tao and see your true self, the shackles of the past will be gone."

After the words fell, Zhu Biao didn't stay any longer, and stepped into the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
-
Since Li Zicheng was eliminated in the first battle of Ming Dynasty, nearly a month has passed slowly.

Yesterday, Zhu Biao had received news that there was a change in Shanhaiguan in the end of the world. The specific situation has not yet been clarified, but there must be changes outside the customs.

Zhu Biao guessed in his heart that the Qing Dynasty might have already entered the Shanhaiguan Pass. Now it depends on Wu Sangui's choice. Whether to let the Manchu Qing enter the pass, he will be the prince of the Manchu Qing, or he can stick to the Xiongguan Pass and be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty to prevent the Manchus from entering the pass. Qing cavalry went south.

In fact, Wu Sangui is also very entangled at this time, because since Li Zicheng's last solicitation letter, there has been no solicitation letter in the past [-] days. It is changing, the position is getting higher and higher.

What troubled Wu Sangui the most was that according to reports from his own spies, many Ming soldiers and cavalry were killed from the capital, and Li Zicheng's hundreds of thousands of troops were wiped out in a battle outside the capital.

The banner was also played by Ming Dynasty, although the style of the flag was a bit different, but the spies assured with their heads that the flag was definitely written in Ming Dynasty, and that Ming Dynasty had not yet been destroyed.

This made Wu Sangui puzzled, with such a large army, why didn't Ming Dynasty send troops as soon as possible, and had to wait until Li Zicheng arrived in the capital before fighting to determine the world. What is even more puzzling is, with such a large army, why did Chongzhen give him money?

And these days, news came that there were quite a few troops divided in the capital, and the brigade headed straight to the Jiangnan area. I don't know how many cities were blasted away by the army with powerful artillery along the way.

Daming, which was about to perish, seems to be injected with vitality again. What's even more outrageous is that scholars from nowhere continue to take over the cities recovered by Daming, but the ministers of Daming seem to have disappeared. It's life or death. Not a word of wind came out.

This is the real reason why Wu Sangui is vacillating. The fact that the Ming army was able to defeat Li Zicheng in one battle has already demonstrated its strength. stronghold.

Even the spies sent by Wu Sangui have found Ming soldiers near Shanhaiguan. As for his soldiers and horses, Wu Sangui does not admit that his soldiers and horses are Daming soldiers and horses. handed over.

Some thoughts even rose in Wu Sangui's mind, since Daming still has such a powerful army, can he go to the concert and ask for some soldiers, horses, food, grass and rewards?Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen was easy to fool.

"Brother, this Wu Sangui is too greedy. Our Qing Dynasty has already promised him such a high-ranking official and rich salary, yet he still hasn't opened the Shanhaiguan Pass and let me pass through." Duoduo said angrily.

"Okay, the more greedy Wu Sangui is, the better it will be for my Qing Dynasty. I have only just arrived at Shanhaiguan, just to let the soldiers of the Eight Banners rest. I believe Wu Sangui can't hold on for a few days. Send the order to rest well. After that Get ready to enter the customs." Dorgon said calmly.

Azig remained silent, he still knew himself well, anyway, whatever his younger brother said, he just supported him with all his strength, and his younger brother Dorgon had to consider other matters.

"Duoduo, Wu Sangui will definitely open Shanhaiguan. Now that Daming is fighting against Li Zicheng, he is already at his weakest. Wu Sangui is not a fool. How could he continue to follow Daming to the end? He is just waiting for Daming After deciding the outcome with Li Zicheng, it's just to see what conditions the winner offers him."

"If it wasn't so, how could he, Wu Sangui, easily let me wait for the soldiers of the Eight Banners to station in Shanhaiguan so safely? But who can give more benefits than me?"

Dorgon said confidently that the fact is indeed the case. In the end, Wu Sangui still fell to the Qing Dynasty for the sake of the throne. It was not only because of the throne, but also because of the destruction of the Ming Dynasty by Li Zicheng. Then Li Zicheng's Dashun was also in chaos. After Wu Sangui saw clearly, how could he continue to rely on Li Zicheng.

Wu Sangui turned to the Manchus and could still gain the reputation of attracting the Manchus into the customs and avenging the Ming Dynasty. He didn't need to assume the title of a traitor, but he could also gain a good reputation for avenging the old master.

As for why Wu Sangui is hesitating here, one is that Li Zicheng is finished, and the winner is still fighting under the banner of Daming, which means that Daming is not dead. If he voted for Manqing at this time, he would be a complete betrayer. This reputation is not so easy to wash .

The other is that after the Ming Dynasty defeated Li Zicheng, it has already divided its troops to the north and south to quickly stabilize the domestic turmoil. Although Wu Sangui is not clear about the current situation in the pass, he can be sure that there must be a group of soldiers from the Ming Dynasty who have already set their sights on Shanhaiguan.

Indeed, as Wu Sangui expected, there was indeed an iron cavalry led by Xu Da, who had already set his sights on Shanhaiguan, and the follow-up Ming soldiers were also continuing to go north, and the generals' guns were quickly transported towards Shanhaiguan.

The purpose is to guard against Wu Sangui, as well as the Manchus outside the pass.

Ever since Xu Da knew that there was a powerful iron cavalry in Shanhaiguan, he had made deployments here, and after learning that there was a Manchu dynasty outside the pass, he focused most of his attention on this side. Xu Da had an intuition, The next biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty is the Manchu Dynasty outside the pass.

As for those families and aristocratic families in China, Xu Da didn't pay attention to them. He wanted to deal with them after freeing up his hands, but Xu Da sent Chang Yuchun to lead [-] Daming cavalry in an imperial decree a few days ago. Go directly south to suppress those families and families, and search for their food, grass and silver.

Lao Zhu was also forced to have no choice. Everyone asked him for money, and after the money, he needed food. Because the time for establishing a country in Hongwu World was too short, there were no corrupt officials who could kill him, so Lao Zhu once again set his sights on Chongzhen Daming. Above those official families.

And the sentence of the last generation of chief assistant Wei Zaode of Chongzhen Daming was postponed again, and Erhu took him out of the Jinyiwei Prison again. He first asked Dai Sigong to treat Wei Zaode's injuries until Wei Zaode was no longer in danger. That's the end of the treatment.

As for why the death of Mr. Wei Zaode's first assistant was postponed again, it is natural that Mr. Wei Zaode should continue to report the list of officials in Ming Dynasty in the past, and the other is to talk about the families who supported them behind the scenes. These are big fish Well, Lao Zhu will not give up. Anyway, Lao Zhu, a corrupt official in this world, is not soft-hearted when he kills, and he doesn't need to find a reason. Just kill the army directly.

This is not like the early days of Hongwu, in his own world, Lao Zhu still cares a little bit, if the teacher is unknown, it will always be a little ugly, of course, once Lao Zhu catches the handle, I'm sorry, our Lao Zhu's knife is sharp very.

So our Lord Wei Zaode started a new round of torture to extract confessions. This time, not only the ministers in the court, but also those who are far away from the court cannot escape.

Because of this, Chang Yuchun's [-] cavalry went south, pointing their swords at many big figures in the Jiangnan Donglin Party and their families. Rather than focusing on people, it is better to focus on the food, grass, gold and silver hidden in these people's homes. Of course, bandits must be suppressed along the road to minimize domestic turmoil.

As for why you dare to directly lead troops to kill the family and exterminate the family?

Old Zhu will definitely tell you that there is nothing in this world that he dare not copy. The Ming Dynasty in this world is gone, and Dashun is also gone. What Zhu Yuanzhang wants is not to rule the world, but to make up for the shortcomings of the Hongwu Ming Dynasty. If Hongwu Daming is short of food, he will grab food from big families in this world. If Hongwu Daming is short of money, he will continue to grab money from big families in this world. Anyway, whatever Hongwu lacks, he will grab from this world.

If Lao Zhu really wanted to rule the world at the beginning, it would be better not to let Chongzhen die, but to coerce the emperor to order the princes. Although Chongzhen's imperial decree is useless, after all, as long as Chongzhen is alive, he still holds righteousness.

However, Lao Zhu felt that it would be troublesome for Chongzhen to be alive. If the Ming Dynasty in this world is not destroyed, if you want to attack these former important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, you can’t be unscrupulous. These people are all intertwined, so it’s not so easy to attack. Yes, how good it is now, Chongzhen is dead, and Lao Zhu can do whoever he wants.

If he had any scruples about this, it would be impossible for Lao Zhu to copy more than 7000 million taels of silver directly from the capital. Because Lao Zhu has no scruples, who would reason with you? You were born in this world, and having money and food is the original sin , the future population of this world will all be destined to farm in Hongwu Daming.

You still want to put on the airs of being an official, so it would be nice not to give him two big slaps.

So not only Lao Zhu, but even the civil and military members of Daming were not merciless when they ransacked their homes, they just went to the bottom of it, even copied out a copper coin that you hid in the yard when you were a child.

And I heard that there are many rich and important ministers in Jiangnan, the eyes of all the civil and military people who were almost driven crazy by food and grass lit up, and they all wanted to follow General Chang to the south of the Yangtze River.

In the end, Li Shanchang sent Hu Weiyong to assist a group of household personnel to go south with the army to search. With Hu Weiyong, a thoughtful person, he can ensure that the family in the south of the Yangtze River will not keep a penny.

As for your stability?They are not going to oppress the people, they are going to beat the local tyrants and divide the land. The people can't wait to welcome them in the street.

No matter what the reason is, those who attack the army will be killed without mercy. As for the killing of the scattered people, all the big households in the vicinity will be ransacked and beheaded. You must know that ordinary people would fight against the army foolishly without these people behind their backs. If you copy ten of the big families, at least nine of them will not be wronged.

It's a coincidence that the soldiers from Hongwu are very good at beating local tyrants and killing officials. After all, they just overthrew the Yuan Dynasty. Cooked and easy.

It's just that in Hongwu Daming, they still restrained themselves for the sake of future rule.

But in this world at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu has already ordered that as long as the people do not attack the army, they are not allowed to massacre the people at will. As for the rich and corrupt officials, they should all be killed, as long as they find food, grass and money.

Lao Zhu's thinking about corrupt officials is very simple, don't seal the knife, kill until there is no corruption in the world!
Regarding the issuance of this order, it was also Lao Zhu who gave these civil and military men of Ming Dynasty a small warning, not to intervene indiscriminately for the sake of a little profit in front of them, thus losing a greater future and his own life.
