Chapter 1215: The Answer to History

Passing by the gate of the courtyard of Lao Xue's house, Liu Yang smiled faintly, looking at Liu Yuhao's eyes how strange and weird.

"Look at the expression of this bear child, why is this!"

Liu Yuhao muttered dissatisfiedly in his heart, but his eyes did not look at Liu Yang, and his expression was not ordinary and calm.

There are basically no secrets in the family, and if something happens to the owner, it won't take a few hours to spread the news immediately.

Good guys, that posture is as sensitive as everyone has an automatic radar installed on their heads.

Liu Yuhao has been to Xue's house twice since the last time, but he went when Old Man Xue was at home, after all, his wife is pregnant with a child, although Liu Yuhao is a little stunned by the stinky face of his cheap father-in-law, but if he himself ignores Xue Weiwei and doesn't care, is he still a man?

The little family is ugly, and classmate Liu can't do it.

Of course, the face of the children of the family is not a trivial matter, and the old Xue family will naturally not expose their ugliness and publicize the matter between Liu Yuhao and Xue Weiwei, not only that, but I am afraid that it is the old Xue family who wants to hide the truth the most.

But if the old Xue family doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that others don't know, you know, Xue Weiwei is a first-class family girl in Sijiu City, and she was so inexplicably made her belly bigger, how many pairs of eyes have to be staring at her back, and naturally there will be good people who will make things clear.

Don't want anything else, it's not taboo to watch the excitement!

Liu Yuhao was a little worried about whether Old Man He would have any radical reactions, but then he also wanted to open it, everything was done, there was nothing to regret, young old men, how could there be times when he didn't make some mistakes and do wrong things?

The old man, what is the love!

Liu Yuhao stretched his neck and waited for the knife, but who would have thought that Liu Yuhao didn't wait for the day when Old Man He was furious, but I heard that the cooperation between He and Xue during this time was quite pleasant.

What exactly is the situation of Shenma?

Liu Yuhao was puzzled, and he was still confused after thinking about it.

Parking the car, Liu Yang looked sympathetic and said, "Brother Liu, didn't you get into any trouble today?" This sentence is the second time Liu Yang has asked, and it seems that there must be something strange in it.

Liu Yuhao smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Don't guess, you'd better not inquire about things without a shadow." ”

It's not that Liu Yuhao can't believe Liu Yang, it's actually that he doesn't know what charter Old Man He will come up with, so the secrets in the tomb must wait for the old man to decide before they can be made public.

Now, in terms of the grasp of certain things, Liu Yuhao is becoming more and more proficient.

"Hey, Mr. Liu is here, a rare guest!"

As soon as Liu Yuhao pushed the door in, he saw Old Man He holding a red and blue pencil in his hand, looking at him with a sneering face.

The matter of the old Xue family is no longer news, and even when Liu Yuhao has been to the Xue family, someone has reported to the old man, but what the old man He needs to care about every day is national affairs, as for what the children and grandchildren are doing, the old man is really powerless.

However, Liu Yuhao did go too far this time, and when it was time to beat, the old man would not hesitate to speak.

Liu Yuhao had long expected this situation to happen today, and he was not surprised, although his face was a little unnatural, he quickly adapted to it, and said with a cheeky smile: "Teacher, grandpa, there was a short delay on the road, don't wait." ”

Old man Qi is naturally Liu Yuhao's rescuer specially moved for himself, Liu Yuhao has given Old Man He the right pulse over the years, as long as Old Man Qi is present, even if Old Man He has a big fire, he can't start it.

"Yu Hao, is there something wrong with me coming here in such a hurry?"

Old Man Qi first frowned and glanced at Old Man He, and then when he turned his head, a smile already appeared on his face.

Accepting Liu Yuhao, a student, I am afraid that it is the proudest thing in the life of the old man Qi, a few years ago, the old man was afraid that Liu Yuhao would abandon his studies in order to make money, Lang spent a lot of effort, according to the current situation, Liu Yuhao not only did not leave his studies behind, but even many times his performance in antique appreciation exceeded the expectations of the old man Qi.

"Hmph, what can he do, big brother, you student can endure it now."

Old Man He snorted coldly, in fact, at the level of the old man, his joy and anger have long been gone, and the reason why Old Man He showed that angry face just now was actually crying out for his precious granddaughter.

Silly Nizi, why did you fall in love with this stinky boy who didn't know what to do?

I have never seen him eat in a bowl and look at the pot like this, and when he thinks of that stubble, Old Man He can't help but get angry.

Liu Yuhao knew that the two old men were equally precious to time, so he didn't play haha, but went straight to the point, and took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, "Teacher, look at this." ”

"Well, yes, it's in good condition! You can tell at a glance that it's an object with a wide open door."

Old Man Qi put on reading glasses and looked at the Ming Dynasty coins that Liu Yuhao took out one by one, and nodded again and again, "Especially this bareback folded ten-type Chongzhen Tongbao coin, although it is not a unique product, it is difficult to find it in the world, even if a few collectors have it, they are reluctant to take it out." ”

Although Old Man He is also interested in antiques, but after all, they are all ticket nature, and he can't say anything about the copper coins made during the Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi, and Chongzhen years, so he just glanced at it lightly and didn't lean forward, but squinted his eyes to observe Liu Yuhao.

The old man believed that no matter how confused Liu Yuhao was, it would be impossible for him to find himself and Qi Lao because of a few copper coins.

What's the story in between?

"I heard that you used Mao Zhou's power today?"

Finally, after the master and apprentice finished reading the copper coin, Old Man He asked lightly.

Liu Yuhao didn't rush to answer the question raised by Old Man He, but sat down and asked, "Grandpa, judging from your experience, Li Zicheng had already entered the capital back then, but why did he fail again in the end?" Is it the lax discipline of his troops? ”

Old Man He was stunned for a moment, and said in a slight mutter: "No, Li Zicheng has a good way of governing the army, and the righteous army is very organized, which is recorded in official history." ”

It can be said that the real reason for Li Zicheng's final defeat has always been a mystery.

For more than 100 years, the experts' explanations have also been the opinions of the benevolent and the wise, some say that they are defeated by unpopularity, some say that they are defeated by arrogance and complacency, some say that they are defeated by corruption and degeneration, and some say that they are defeated by red faces and disasters, and so on, in short, they are not convincing.

When Li Zicheng's army was occupied in Beijing, there were more than 1 million troops, why did the troops suddenly seem to lose their combat effectiveness after 40 days of entering Beijing, and when they encountered the Qing army, they were immediately defeated, and they were defeated like a mountain, and they have been in a state of collapse ever since?

In the earliest days, when there was a shortage of military funds, Li Zicheng was still able to organize a million-strong army after repeated defeats, why did he lose his combat effectiveness after he was rich? Why hasn't a single decent battle been organized after the withdrawal from Beijing? A lot of people can't explain it.

You must know that perseverance is a significant characteristic of Li Zicheng, in the previous several battles, he was almost completely annihilated, the most tragic two were only 18 people left, once only more than 50 people left, but Li Zicheng relied on his indomitable will, and turned over again and again Salted Fish and made a comeback, and finally had a million troops into Beijing to destroy the Ming Dynasty.

No historian has ever given a true answer to this question.

Liu Yuhao suddenly raised this question, and Old Man He couldn't give an accurate answer for a while, so he could only talk about the records in the history books in generalities, but not for sure.

"So, is it because the material strength of Li Zicheng's huge army can't keep up?" Liu Yuhao asked again.

Old Man He was dumbfounded, and looked at Old Man Qi, these historical questions are still easy for experts like Qi Lao to answer.

"Not really."

Old Man Qi smiled and waved his hand to interject, explaining: "Li Zicheng's army got 70 million taels of silver in Beijing through the anti-corruption and recovery of stolen goods, which is equivalent to ten years of tax revenue in the Ming Dynasty, which can be implemented in at least a few years. ”

"Corruption and stolen goods?"

Especially the 70 million taels of silver in Old Man Qi's mouth that made Liu Yuhao's eyes suddenly light up, and he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, "Teacher, do you mean that Li Zicheng made 70 million taels of silver back then?" ”

Old Man Qi nodded, he was used to discussing problems with this studious student, and he didn't care what Old Man He's attitude was, and said with a smile: "When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he launched a huge anti-corruption and stolen goods campaign, but if he got as much as 70 million taels of silver, then he had to go to the Ming and Qing history experts to ask about the specific situation." ”

Whenever he talks about academic things, Old Man Qi has a serious look and strives to be informative and reliable.

Of course, some scholars have always believed that the cause of Li Zicheng's defeat occurred in a raging plague that year.

There are some documents that record this, the plague epidemic in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, before and after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, the plague was prevalent in the surrounding areas of the capital, Li Zicheng's army entered Beijing in March of the lunar calendar, only because of the low temperature in winter, the spread of plague slowed down, but after the weather became warmer, rats began to be active, and large-scale plague broke out naturally.

However, Old Man Qi disagrees with that statement, the plague will definitely cause immeasurable losses to the army in the Cold Weapon Era, but Li Zicheng has one million mercenaries, and it will naturally be a plague that can make him "regret for life", and there must be other hidden secrets.

Liu Yuhao didn't listen to the words of the old man Qi, and after pondering, he slapped his head and exclaimed: "Don't think about it, I'm afraid that Li Zicheng's guy got more than 70 million taels of silver in the end." ”

"You kid, why are you so surprised?" Old Man He glared at Liu Yuhao dissatisfied.

Liu Yuhao smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't you want to know why I asked Brother Mao Zhou for help?" I'll tell you now. ”
