In later generations, with the passage of time, the four ancient civilizations (ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, ancient India and China) disappeared into the long river of history one after another, and only the Chinese civilization remained.

With the rise of the modern Western world, historians have also redivided civilizations into Eastern civilization and Western civilization. In the perception of the Chinese people, the biggest difference between the Chinese civilization and the Western civilization is the cognition of things.

In addition to attaching importance to science and technology, one of the characteristics of Western civilization is to advocate bloodline, and they believe that whether a person's identity is noble or not can be seen from his bloodline, which is exerted to the extreme in the magical country of Sange, and until the 21st century, its caste system still makes people all over the world feel incredible.

The biggest difference between the Eastern civilization and the Western world is the difference in the perception of things, which can be seen from the ancient mythology of the two civilizations.

For example, in the Western civilization, the first flame of human beings is believed to be given to mankind by the god Prometheus after being stolen from the sun god Apollo, while in the Eastern civilization, the fire was made by the flint people by drilling wood to make fire.

Another example is the same great flood, the attitude of the Westerners towards the great flood that almost submerged the world was to build a big ark and carry all the people and animals on the boat to escape the flood, while the Orientals adopted the method of controlling the water and leading the flood into the sea.

Westerners tend to be more patient when it comes to rulers, and few take the initiative to rebel. The Oriental people are different, since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted the slogan "The prince will be Xiangning has a kind", since then the years have flown by, and the change of dynasty once every two or three hundred years has almost never been broken.

Of course, there are reasons for land annexation and foreign invasion, and more importantly, the Chinese people's disobedience to fate has been deeply engraved in their bones, so when Li Yan said that they could also overthrow the imperial court and sit on that chair by themselves, a small fire immediately rose in everyone's hearts.

"Seize Jiangnan, and then use Jiangnan as the foundation to confront the north and south with the imperial court, and finally wait for the opportunity to seize the world?" Li Zicheng muttered in his mouth, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Yes!"

Li Yan nodded affirmatively, and his voice became more and more firm.

"Now the imperial court has begun to do the work of the officials and gentry of the Donglin Party Jiangnan under the promotion of Yang Feng, whether it is Huang Liji or Gao Panlong's death, now the dissatisfaction of the Jiangnan gentry with the imperial court has reached the edge, as long as we take Jiangnan and then raise our arms, the Jiangnan gentry and the people will inevitably follow the clouds, and then as long as three to five years of hard work, we can gain a firm foothold in Jiangnan, and then we can use the rich money and food soldiers in Jiangnan to overthrow the imperial court, and then the big thing can be done!"

Speaking of this, Li Yan's face was already flushed with excitement, and Li Zicheng, Li Guo, Liu Zongmin and others were also dumbfounded.

Change of dynasty, this is enough to leave a name in history, especially Li Zicheng, who was just a post man, just because he was put on some kind of hat by the original partner, which caused an extra prairie on his head to kill people in anger, and finally embarked on this road of no return, but now someone actually told him that he had the opportunity to fight the world and sit on the seat above ten thousand people, which made him feel like he was in a dream, which made his excited body tremble.

"Good!"

Li Zicheng slapped his thigh, "According to what the military advisor said, after three days of rest in Anqing Mansion, we will immediately march to Ningguo Mansion and Weizhou Mansion, if we can capture these two mansions, we can go straight to Shaoxing, Hangzhou, and Suzhou, as long as these places are defeated, we will have the capital to fight against the Jiangning Army." ”

"Right...... That's it! Liu Zongmin was also overjoyed, "I have long heard that Jiangnan women are the most delicate and beautiful, especially those Jiangnan skinny horses are the most famous, this time we will also grab a bunch of skinny horses to serve us." After saying this, he burst out laughing, as if he had seen a large group of beautiful women lingering around him.

Li Yan frowned, and said to Liu Zongmin: "Liu Zhanglu, since we have made up our plan to fight for the world, we have to abandon the previous style of rogues, and don't do things like Yuan Datou did in Taihu County. ”

Liu Zongmin pursed his lips, "Strategist, you don't have to speak better than you sing." If we don't steal or rob, what will the army eat and drink, can it be that you can conjure up grain, grass, ordnance and silver out of thin air with just your mouth? ”

"You ......"

Liu Zongmin's words stopped Li Yan.

Don't look at the pie that Li Yan painted just now, but now the most realistic problem is in front of you.

After these days of balloon-like development, the number of rogues has reached more than 30,000 people, plus their small family, a total of 100,000 people, so many people eat every day is not a small number, if they don't rob it, they can't drink the northwest wind.

Li Yan, who was stunned by Liu Zongmin, was a little speechless for a while, and when he saw that he had nothing to say, Liu Zongmin suddenly became proud, originally he looked at Li Yan very unpleasantly, thinking that this guy had no ability to make up a few nursery rhymes to bewitch people's hearts, so he would follow Li Zicheng and pat himself on the back, and now that the problem is in front of him, there is no way to solve it, and it is only right for such a person to drive out of the rebel army as soon as possible.

The triumphant Liu Zongmin said to Li Zicheng: "King Chuang, who are we?" We're rogues, what if we don't have food or clothing? Then you have to grab it, otherwise where does the thing come from, it won't fall from the sky, so don't look at what some people say is better than singing, but it's useless, in the final analysis, we still have to rob, otherwise we will starve to death, don't you say that's the reason? ”

Although Liu Zongmin did not name him, he made it clear that he was targeting Li Yan, so he almost didn't point at his nose and scold him.

Li Zicheng also hesitated a little, he looked at Li Yan, "Military Division, this matter is indeed a little difficult to handle, if you really don't rob it, I'm afraid that so many people in our righteous army will have to stop." ”

Li Yan sighed: "King Chuang, I don't want to let the army rob, but to rob it purposefully." Jiangnan is different from the north, the gentry and landlord class here are richer than the north, but they are also more difficult to deal with, they have a deep connection with each other through marriage and cooperation, etc., if we rob them all and kill them, it will inevitably arouse the thoughts of other gentry against us, which is very unfavorable for us to occupy Jiangnan.

So my suggestion is that we can invite all those gentry and rich families, and let them willingly give us food and silver, so that we don't have to burn and plunder, and we can raise enough food, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”
