The Greatest Uncle of All Heavens

Chapter 33
Mo Hanshan then continued: "Speaking of which, Wu Sangui and I are also considered a kind of people who don't like to leave our destiny in the hands of others. After tasting the taste of power, how many people are willing to let go of it Woolen cloth?"

"It's just that we choose different ways. This is a bottom line problem. Some people are desperate. Maybe he can get what he wants for a while, but he is defeated after all. It is not lost to others, but from the very beginning. I lost to myself," Mo Hanshan turned to say: "To achieve great things, although conspiracy and schemes are unavoidable, in the end, you must use an upright teacher to swallow up mountains and rivers. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. This sentence is not as simple as it is said .”

"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world," Chen Yuyang, who muttered to himself, couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.

At the same time, in the north, Li Zicheng invaded the city of Beijing, and he was overjoyed, and soon started his precipitous defeat...
Because Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the pass, the Chuang army was defeated, Liu Zongmin was injured, and the army retreated. After Li Zi returned to Beijing in success or failure, there were only [-] soldiers left.

But at this time, Li Zicheng actually chose to proclaim himself emperor in Beijing. At this time, he still cares about these superficial false names, which is really ridiculous!

After angrily murdering Wu Sangui's family, Li Zicheng, the Dashun Emperor who had just proclaimed himself emperor, fled Beijing in a hurry and retreated from Shanxi and Henan. He didn't even have the courage to fight the Manchus and Wu Sangui. The city of Beijing was given over to the Manchu Tartars.

Next, Li Zicheng crossed the Yellow River and returned to Xi'an, and soon abandoned Xi'an. He passed through Lantian, Shangzhou, and went to Wuguan.
The experience of ups and downs is undoubtedly very unacceptable. The constant defeats, coupled with the establishment of the court of Emperor Hongguang of the Nanming Dynasty, many former Ming generals who surrendered to Dashun turned to Nanming or the Manchu Qing, which hit Li Zicheng hard. Suspicious, and finally ready to kill Li Yan and the others...
At this time, a force suddenly rose, blooming everywhere, from Shandong, Shanxi, Guanzhong, Shuzhong, Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi... With the momentum of the flames, it occupied the city passes, gathered a large number of soldiers and civilians, called Xia Army, sweeping towards the hinterland of the Central Plains and even the entire north
Mo Hanshan used the whole world as a chessboard. This chess game has been prepared for many years, penetrated step by step, and has already quietly controlled the lifeline of the whole world. Once he rose, he shocked the world.This time, Mo Hanshan showed everyone what is meant by 'the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world'.Why did Mo Hanshan order the world to follow?It's just because he has fed the people of the world over the years.

To win the hearts of the people means not only to win the heartfelt support of the people, but also to win the approval of the scholars, peasants, officials and businessmen.How to get their approval, it requires the superiors to give them what they want.The common people are the simplest. If they can eat enough to fill their stomachs, they will be satisfied with a peaceful life.Scholars, businessmen, officials and gentry, what do they want?To put it bluntly, status, rights, interests, people are very realistic after all.

Take the scholars as an example!Literati's strength of character cannot be eaten, they are not pedantic at all, reading has not ruined their brains, etiquette, justice, honesty and shame are just tools in their hands, and moral articles are just a ladder for them to rise to the top.Whether it is for the sake of ambition or high status, they need someone to give them the opportunity to become a powerful class.

Businessmen are the most profit-oriented. Some people can make a fortune in troubled times, but more businessmen understand that when the world is peaceful and the people are rich, they can earn greater wealth and benefits.Capitalists, more realistically, for the sake of profit, they can be desperate and trample on anything.If the Manchus can bring them benefits, then they don't mind subsidizing the Manchu Tartars, and they don't mind betraying the country for glory.What they care about is not who is the emperor, but who is the emperor is good for them.

Therefore, when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, we saw that the first to surrender were those officials, generals, businessmen, and scholars.As for the common people, no matter who is in power, they are just fish and meat, without any choice.

The first thing Mo Hanshan did was to provide the common people with food, land, and livelihood, so that they could live a stable and prosperous life.Naturally, the common people will support those who give them the resources to survive.

There are many scholars in the world, and many of them are from poor families. After all, there are only a few who can really get ahead by studying.And more are people who are underappreciated.Coincidentally, Mo Hanshan can give them the opportunity and platform to display their talents and ambitions. They don't need imperial examinations or study stereotyped essays.

Just like Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance under Li Zicheng's command, they were just ordinary scholars, but in Li Zicheng's power, they can show their strengths and show their value.It's just that their vision is limited, and they chose someone who is not good enough to assist them.

As for businessmen, what they are after is profit. If Mo Hanshan wants to conquer the world, he needs men, horses, food, weapons, etc. There are too many things to purchase, so he must cooperate with many businessmen.Merchants also need Mo Hanshan as a big money maker. Even if Mo Hanshan becomes the emperor in the future and manages a huge country, many materials will also need to be purchased from merchants, and merchants are needed to prosper business, so that ordinary people can be liberated from the land, and let His dynasty became richer and stronger.All of this is inseparable from the help of businessmen.He is not afraid of businessmen making money, but he is afraid that they will not make money.

Officials and gentry are an indispensable and important class in feudal society, they constitute the skeleton of the ruling class.They want more, such as status, wealth, power and fame, etc. Mo Hanshan can fully give them. As long as Mo Hanshan shows enough potential and strength, they are happy to help Mo Hanshan and push him to the highest level of power. In this way, they can get what they want from Mo Hanshan.

The landlord class is the most unreliable force, just like the weeds on the wall, and the wind from Mohanshan is strong enough to blow them all over.Unfortunately, their influence is great.In order to calm down the world as soon as possible, Mo Hanshan must rely on their power to control this power.

With the help of high-yielding crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, Mo Hanshan won the hearts of the people and gathered a force capable of subverting the world. This force is like a strong wind. Wherever it passes, all the famous and powerful families in the world bow their heads. Those civil servants in the Ming Dynasty Most of the generals also wisely chose to bow their heads and surrender.

The Manchu Qing Tartars entered the customs and occupied the city of Beijing. They thought they could take advantage of the chaos and take advantage of the situation to occupy the whole world.But they didn't expect that when they defeated Li Zicheng and were about to go south, a sleeping male lion suddenly appeared in the south, waiting for them to take the initiative to feed it into their mouths.

Zhang Xianzhong was driven out of Sichuan by Mo Hanshan's men and horses and the chieftains in the south. He couldn't even gain a foothold in Guizhou and Hubei, but he had to bite the bullet and go north to join hands with Li Zicheng to deal with the Qing army coming south from Henan.
It's a pity that they couldn't resist the elites of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Zhang Xianzhong died in battle, and Li Zicheng died aggrieved by the hands of the rioters after he fled. In order to surrender to Mo Hanshan's army following them.

Next, the army under Mo Hanshan's command and the Qing army formally confronted each other.In this fight, the elite Xia army under Mo Hanshan taught the Qing army a good lesson, teaching them what war in the age of firearms is.

The elite troops under Mo Hanshan's command are all equipped with muskets. The musketeers are divided into several rows and shoot alternately. The cavalry of the Qing army keep falling down like cutting wheat
Even, there are grenades, artillery and even mortars produced by Mo Hanshan in the army, and the power of gunpowder is fully displayed...
Now, instead of the Qing army being defeated like a mountain, they kept fleeing and retreated back to Beijing like a bereaved dog.
