Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 169 The current situation of Daming Mansion

Li Guo in Daming Mansion stood at the top of the city, observing the movements of the Ming Dynasty's First Army outside.

There was no movement from the Ming Dynasty's First Army, which made Li Guo feel relieved.

Now, Li Guo knows Mingting's military strength best. As long as the Ming army wants to take over their own Daming Mansion, in fact, they don't even have the ability to resist.

The reason why my uncle went south with the main force but left him here was explained clearly in his secret letter. The high-sounding reason was to continue to oppress the Zhili capital. In fact, it was to take advantage of Mingting's unwillingness to openly accept Li Fang, and use him to isolate himself from direct confrontation with Mingting. Li Zicheng also used Li Fang to block Mingting's attack on him, so that he could develop in Jiangnan without any worries. At the same time, he also used Li Fang to contact Shandong and northwest.

Li Guo's role here was well understood by both Li Chuang and Daming. Therefore, as long as Li Guo doesn't starve himself to death, he is absolutely safe.

The uncle repeatedly ordered in the secret letter not to take the initiative to tease Daming, let alone Li Fang. Squatting in Daming Mansion is victory.

Li Guo received a report from Gao Yigong that he was chasing a group of literati all the way from Xi'an to Zhili. At that time, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Is it worth pursuing for nearly ten thousand miles for a group of rotten scholars? The same goes for the regent, who also made a riot for a group of rotten scholars. There was such a big movement.

Isn't it just to pick someone up? I thought you came to my house. Isn't it a big deal? Just say hello and I'll let them pass. Isn't that the end of it? "

Therefore, he dismissed Gao Yigong's request to play. Although I am a generation younger than you, I am the general of power and you are the general of control. I am as high as you. We are even, and whoever listens to the orders of the other.

Besides, outside my city, there is that tiger from the First Army of the Ming Army squatting. Can I get out? Hmm, do I dare to go out?

Instruct the Chinese army: "Write a reply to General Gao and tell him that there are Ming troops oppressing me outside Daming Mansion and there is a danger of breaking the city at any time. Please forgive me for my difficulty in cooperating. As for asking for military rations and supplies, the world outside is so big, you can collect the food yourself." "Then he made a mocking comment: "We have just been in the regular army for a few days, and we have forgotten our old profession. It shouldn't be done. At what time, our true nature cannot change."

Li Guo did not want to send troops, and indeed could not send troops, but Li Laiheng, who was in the outer reclamation area, did not think so.

He also received Gao Yigong's general order, and he also saw the key to winning the support of scholars all over the world.

In particular, this group is the few remaining elites in the northwest. Once intercepted and used by Dashun, it will be a huge human resource. Not only can it change the embarrassing situation of Dashun having no available officials, but it can also use this group of northwest scholars to stabilize the northwest and establish Dashun's reputation as orthodox.

And once this group of people was used by the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming Dynasty counterattacked the northwest, and used them to call on the northwest, it would be a disastrous consequence for Dashun.

Therefore, he decided that you, Li Guo, are short-sighted and if you don't execute Gao Yigong's general order, then I will execute it.

He decisively organized everyone who could fight in the reclamation area, regardless of men, women, old or young, and immediately formed an army. He made an agreement with Gao Yigong that he would stop the enemy at all costs in the front. Ask him to send troops immediately to attack Lu Mou's retreat. We attacked from both sides, severely injuring Lu Mou and intercepting the soldiers from the northwest.

After robbing several Zhuangzi, Gao Yigong couldn't help but ponder.

Although this place is not yet under the direct jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, the martial arts team of Jin Yiwei was still found in the villages here.

What's even more hateful is that Li Guobai blinded one of his tigers' bandit numbers, and the majestic and shunned warrior turned into a sick cat. After the last battle, he only dared to hide in Daming Mansion. It does not care about the states and counties within its jurisdiction.

As a result, at the beginning of this year, the armed workers team guaranteed that people would apply. In fact, Ming officials had quietly stationed in various counties and implemented Ming management.

The people here, under the leadership of the government and the armed workers team, implemented the land contracting policy. Just a few villages can provide enough food and grass for more than 7,000 people and horses for several days. The people here are already stable and prosperous to this extent.

This is the ability of leadership to rule.

This comparison made Gao Yigong more determined. Even if he spent all his troops, he must snatch back this group of scholars for his own use. Gao Yigong was comparing, and Wang Weiwei and a group of other scribes who had obtained safety were also comparing.

Although this is a so-called enemy-occupied area, because it is close to Zhili, the emperor's favor policy is implemented better, and the people are more stable and prosperous. In particular, the mobilization of protection along this road shows what the people want.

They saw the hope of the Ming Dynasty, so everyone worked hard to get good results in the exam so that they could return to their hometown and implement the Holy King's policies to benefit the village.

Lu Mou slowly retreated to Neihuang County, and was greeted by the county magistrate waving white flags.

Lu Mou dismounted with a smile: "Is there anyone holding a white flag to greet Master Wang? Why does this feel like summoning spirits? It's depressing."

The county magistrate smiled and saluted and replied: "Prince Regent, aren't we still in enemy-occupied territory? Once you leave, we will still have to be labeled as Dashunliu bandits."

Lu Mou smiled and asked as he walked inside: "How are you? Are you still used to being in this dangerous place?"

The county magistrate smiled: "When the regent recruited county magistrates from enemy-occupied areas, I used myself as a humble official to fight for wealth and wealth. I was appreciated by the prince, and with the help of the brothers in Jinyiwei, I was truly loved by the people. Protection, where else is there danger for a lower official?"

When he first decided on this strategy, Lu Mou promised them three times their salary, as well as a thousand yuan in case of emergency. This is the true reward for brave men. A group of officials at all levels in the seven counties and two states under the jurisdiction of Daming Mansion were recruited with the desperate intention of seeking wealth and wealth in danger.

Fortunately, Li Guo was really afraid of being beaten by him. He just defended Daming Mansion to death and did not dare to spread his troops around.

And these officials all said that they were recommended by the gentry to protect the country and the people.

At that time, Li Guo also sent a team to Kaizhou to ask the magistrate to hand it over. As a result, he really protected the country and the people. Not only did he not give it, he also attracted tens of thousands of people from four villages to destroy the bandits he sent.

At this time, Li Guo, who could not afford to lose his troops, no longer cared about this matter.

After entering the city, he arrived at the county government office: "How is the place?"

The county magistrate replied: "The place is peaceful, there are no more powerful gentry and landlords, and the people are living and working in peace and contentment. This summer taxes and labor monies have been collected. This time is just right, please take it back with me."

The imperial court collected taxes according to the autumn tax and summer tax. But Lu Mou stipulated that the total of the two taxes would be two cents for land rent and two cents for labor service.

"It is estimated that this place will not be recovered by the imperial court this year or next. Therefore, you should keep enough office budget expenses, and then the commission money will no longer be released to the central government. You can stay and discuss with Lin County to see what needs to be done for you. Just do what the people do."

The county magistrate was overjoyed to receive such an arrangement and immediately thanked the people.

From then on, during the time Li Guo was here, he always felt that except for his own Daming Mansion, the so-called government officials and people outside were under his control.

A Jin Yiwei reported: "To the north, the 30,000 troops organized by Li Laiheng blocked the passage for our team to return north. Gao Yigong from the south is also pressing forward, and both sides have the potential to attack us."

Lu Mou smiled, stood up and said, "The soldiers have eaten and drank enough, it's time for us to fight."
