Ming Dynasty: Starting from Liaodong Jiangmen

Chapter 7

The first day after time travel was very difficult. Before Li Shunzu could fully understand the situation, he was passively involved in the battle between the Liao army and the Beijing army just because of a wrong sentence.

This incident seemed to be a small friction between the Liao army and the Beijing army, but the inside story was completely different.

It is easy to get involved in this matter, but very difficult to escape completely.

Bringing Zhao Tai to justice can indeed alleviate the urgent need for Guan Ning's army to be deprived of supplies, but it is only a drop in the bucket. Many people are not optimistic that Li Shunzu can really completely solve the problem of Guan Ning's army.

But the reason why Li Shunzu dared to swear on the reputation of the direct line of the Li family was because he knew this period of history and how Chongzhen dealt with it later.

Historically, after Yuan Chonghuan was captured, the Liao army general Zu Dashou fled eastward and ran away within a few days.

The commander-in-chief was captured, the generals were defeated, and the morale of the remaining Liao army fell to the bottom. They were no match for the Eight Banners Army.

Huang Taiji made a comeback, and the Liao army fought several battles at the foot of the capital. They were defeated first at Yongding Gate and then at Guangqu Gate. More than [-] officers were killed in the battle.

The Liao army was defeated one after another, and the entire capital was panicked.

Reinforcements from other towns had not arrived at that time, so Liao Town was the only one Emperor Chongzhen could rely on to defend the city.

As a last resort, Chongzhen had no choice but to urgently summon the emperor's master Sun Chengzong to rush to the capital to supervise the army. He then issued an imperial edict, providing sufficient supplies, which was not enough, and promising to forget the blame. This was how to appease the Liao troops who had not yet escaped.

So it's not that Chongzhen didn't give it, it was because he hadn't forced him to that point yet.

What Li Shunzu needed to do was very simple, draw the pie, and then wait quietly for the court to resolve the matter.

You don't have to do anything. It not only increases your reputation in the Liao army, but also makes you clean. Why not do it?

The most fundamental reason for this incident is that as the emperor, Chongzhen himself could not trust the Liao army. He followed the example and followed the example. Only the people in the Beijing camp dared to be so arrogant, so much so that Zhao Tai blatantly withheld supplies.

How to appease Guan Ning's army was not a problem that Li Shunzu needed to consider at all. He could just follow the step-by-step process in history.

It is impossible for Zu Dashou and his gang to watch Yuan Chonghuan being arrested and remain indifferent.

Liao Zhen will probably collapse to the east, and the Liao army will probably lose the next one or two battles. Then there is no need for Li Shunzu to do anything, Emperor Chongzhen himself will rack his brains to appease the morale of the army.

If Guan Ningjun really escapes, who will resist the Eight Banners army?
Rely on those veteran soldiers from the Beijing camp who are as fearful of the enemy as tigers?

How many kilograms are there in the flower shelves in the capital camp? Except for Chongzhen, everyone in the capital felt as if they were in a mirror.

What bothered Li Shunzu was the last few words that Yuan Chonghuan suddenly said to him by name.

Li Shunzu still hasn't figured out what his intentions were after those words.

It sounds like a reminder to myself, but also like a naked threat to kill myself.

But one thing is certain, what Yuan Chonghuan said at this juncture is definitely not nonsense. What was the reason for him to say it? However, there were too many people present and the expression was very obscure.

After coming out of the Guan Ning Army Camp in Guangqumen and returning to the door according to his memory, Li Shunzu was surprised and made a point of checking to see if he had found the wrong door.

After confirming that this was indeed the ancestral home where the original person lived in history, Li Shunzu's frown deepened.

The courtyard is dilapidated, the walls are half-collapsed, flowers and trees are growing randomly everywhere, and vines are winding up along the broken door lintel and window lattice. This is an ordinary small courtyard upon entering.

Opening the old wooden door and walking into the courtyard, the ground was overgrown with weeds and littered with rubble.

"Is this a place to live?"

Li Shunzu looked at the dilapidated hut and had no intention of walking in. It was worse than the rental house that cost more than 1000 yuan before traveling through time.

"A dignified third-grade Jinyi commander of Weinan Town Fusi, a direct descendant of Ning Yuanbo Li Chengliang, and now the eldest son of the eldest son of the Li family in Liaodong, actually lives in such a place."

"Isn't this too low-key?"

Li Shunzu walked to the house, took a look, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the courtyard is relatively dilapidated, but the house is still passable.

The layout of the house is very simple. As soon as you enter the door, there is a small central hall. There is only a set of tables and chairs placed in the hall facing north and south.

It is also very easy to find the room where the original person lived, because the house has two bedrooms and one living room. Apart from the main hall at the entrance, there are only side rooms on the east and west sides.

The west side room should be an ancestral hall, with portraits of the ancestors of the Li family's eldest family hanging on the wall.

There is a side room on the east and west sides. It seems that the east side is where the original person usually lives, because the bedding in the room is still messily spread on the bed.

"Not even a maid?"

Li Shunzu complained, this is not the same as the life of noble children in later TV series.

Sitting on the bed, Li Shunzu sighed, finally only himself was left.From the beginning of the time travel, things happened one after another, which made Li Shunzu dizzy and had no time to straighten out his thoughts.

I came to a completely unfamiliar environment, experienced the initial noise, and after sitting back in the room, emptiness and longing for my parents and relatives in the future came one after another.

Late at night, lying on the bed, there was no one around me.

Li Shunzu opened his eyes wide and looked at the stars in the sky along the window eaves, not feeling sleepy at all.

On the first night of the second year of Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Shunzu fell asleep.

If people can't sleep, they tend to have random thoughts.

Although Li Shunzu was not a careerist, he was still a dignified man.

I will be a poor wage earner in future generations. Looking at the shabby appearance around me, how can I still live like this in this life?

Li Shunzu was not very interested in saving the Ming Dynasty or anything like that, but he was still very interested in letting himself live in a better place and having the right to control the wind and rain in Nanzhen Fusi for ten years or so.

Becoming the leader of Nanzhen Fusi is the first step, but first we must kill Feng Liangzu.

When Li Shunzu mentioned Feng Liangzu, his teeth itched with hatred.

If he hadn't known the direction of history, he might have been labeled as a mutiny caused by poor supervision today.

Officialdom is like a battlefield. If you don't kill your opponent, you will be killed.

From his memory, Li Shunzu learned that his original wealth was not limited to this.

At least in the capital city, Li Shunzu had a large house with three entrances and three exits under his name.

Yuan Chonghuan was right about at least one thing. Li Chengliang's direct relatives were indeed targeted in the capital.

The reason why the original person couldn't live in a big house with three entrances and three exits, and moved back to this old house with no shit, was to avoid disaster.

Since Li Chengliang's death 14 years ago, his immediate relatives who have stayed in the capital have either been transferred to the frontiers or inland areas, or have been impeached and dismissed from office. Now the only person who is still serving in the capital is Li Shunzu himself.

By doing this, the original person was actually showing weakness, hoping that if he kept a low profile enough, those people would not come to trouble him again.

In fact, this was of no use, and the original person in history suddenly disappeared one day.

Today's events made Li Shunzu very uncomfortable. Whether he wanted to do something or not was completely dictated by others, without any autonomy.

If this continues, even if you can predict the future, it is easy to dodge open attacks and hidden arrows, and sooner or later you will fall into trouble, but you will still inevitably end up disappearing suddenly.

Perhaps those direct descendants of the Li family who were suppressed were the future that Li Shunzu could see.

Li Shunzu couldn't accept such an ending.

With no rights in hand, whatever you do, you will be treated like a mermaid.

Rather than being preyed upon by others, it is better to be the one who preys on others.

Li Shunzu changed his posture and began to carefully recall the details of the Yisi Incident in history.

Since the Otomi incident is just around the corner, why not take advantage of this incident to take over first?

Isn't this every man's dream to live in a large and magnificent house, with clothes to wear, food to eat, and ten or eight concubines?
If you want to know the secrets about the Li family that Yuan Chonghuan said, and if you want to resist those people's attacks, the only way is to become strong enough to scare them!
Thinking of this, Li Shunzu felt that his thoughts were smoother and clearer. He really couldn't live in this old house for a day.

If you have money and power, at least you can fight them to the death.

"boom!"

Early the next morning, with a bang, the door was kicked open.

"Brother Li!"

"It's time to wake up!"

The person who came was wearing a yellow brocade suit, and it was Feng Liangzu, another commander of Nanzhen Fusi.

But after entering the door, the expression on his face froze instantly.

Li Shunzu on the bed was staring at him closely with a cold tone.

"Didn't your father teach you how to knock on the door?"
