This is not counting, if we consider the property of the people who were looted and exploited by other means in the Qing Dynasty, such as coastal border relocation, massacre and robbery, land enclosure, fugitive pursuit, etc., it is even more difficult to measure.

This can also lead to a conclusion, the more anyone raises a butcher's knife against Confucianism, the more they flatter whom, "the Ming Dynasty is the most authoritarian, corrupt, and brutal dynasty in Chinese history", "Of course the Ming Dynasty should die, for the Chinese people, the Qing Dynasty is much better than the Ming Dynasty", "The Qing Dynasty is better than the Ming Dynasty, but the Chinese are lucky enough to meet several of the best emperors in Chinese history", "On the whole, the Qing Dynasty is much better than the Ming Dynasty." The total average score of the twelve monarchs of the Qing Dynasty from the Qing Dynasty Taizu to the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty is simply incomparable in mathematics because the former is a fairly high positive number, and the latter is a fairly high negative number. ”

At this time, it was a similar situation, in the north to collect taxes, there were swarms of female thieves, and the south could still be warm and soft.

So the closer he got to Jiangnan, the richer those small places became, and he didn't worry about the problem of not being able to collect food and salary, so after leaving Sichuan, he basically no longer needed the rear to provide too much material support for his soldiers and horses, except for arms, after all, this thing needed a certain amount of reliable manpower support.

The magistrates of the Southern Ming Dynasty also tried their best to keep their own territory, but in the past few years, after discovering that the Council of Elders had no intention of going south, the carnival of these officials began, and the taxes collected no longer needed to be handed over to a certain Ming Dynasty court, but according to the official position, everyone shared the fat, and naturally it was impossible to attach importance to military equipment.

Lack of transportation capacity, can only occupy the canal side of the city, the most surprising Zhang Xianzhong is Pengze County, the county order actually after the county gold and silver in the county looted, fled directly back to his hometown, anyway, these gold and silver have been spent for several lifetimes, the big deal is to find a lackey literati in a few days, tout yourself, literati, the traitor is a hero, it is easy and casual.

Sun Yuanliang, the general appointed by the Tang Dynasty, led the troops to carry out a singing and crying resistance in Chizhou Mansion, of course, that was a part of the Confucian students' own records, saying that the battle was a mess, heroic and tragic, in fact, Zhang Xianzhong ordered the siege of the city in the morning, and in the evening he had already played with dozens of beauties in the largest house in the city. Even if the village soldiers defending the city want to resist, but the money is embezzled, only the bamboo poles are sharpened and used as weapons, how to compete with the wolf-like Great Western Army? Those who are really willing to purchase weapons from the Council of Elders are still those powerful people.

These village soldiers are basically composed of pikemen, although in the atmosphere of defending their homeland, the morale is good, brave and good at fighting, but when facing a large number of northern deserters composed of the Great Western Army, but they can no longer reproduce their brave and invincible, an archer needs several years of training, the lack of technical weapons, so that they have no fair chance to fight the Great Western Army head-on, and the general was just a smuggler before the general, he made enough money and wanted to wash his white money, wash his hands and be a nobleman, and watched the Great Western Army kill in a daze, The city is about to be destroyed.

It is very normal to recruit generals to run away, and as soon as he ran, the morale of the entire Chizhou Mansion was suddenly in turmoil, Zhang Xianzhong was just about to give an order to loot at will within a day, and then immediately pull out to boost morale, but someone immediately appeared and intimidated.

Since your ministry has captured a city and obtained the spoils of war in the city, it is the unspoken rule of the human world, and our company will not stop it, but if you massacre or plunder, it violates the concept of the declaration of human rights issued by the Presbyterian Church, it is uncivilized, it is not boiled, it is not harmonious, and it is to be known and praised for 10,000 years, we command you to abide by the declaration of human rights, and not to abuse the inhabitants of the city, and not to commit violence and massacres, otherwise, we can only think, You are not a legitimate bargaining partner. ”

This can't help Zhang Xianzhong, he grinned and said: "I saw you, I want to see if your company wants to do business with me, sell those firearms to me, and give orders to me, why, you are not afraid that I will be widowed?" ”

"Please, thank you."

Zhang Xianzhong was stunned, according to his thoughts, he let the left and right pounce on him and catch people, he should also be scared, and then he will naturally supply arms and give himself benefits.

But this man seemed to be very calm, which also made him suspicious: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"When I came, my boss told me that if this vote is smashed and I am sacrificed, I am considered a martyr, and the pension is enough for my son to be rich and noble for the rest of his life, and he can study in a military school, how is it too cost-effective!"

"Then your boss will let you come here to die!"

"How is it to die? We are gunboat diplomacy, naturally well prepared, you see! ”

The salesman pushed away a few guards, walked away a few steps, but took out a small sky monkey, which was something that was not found in the previous body search, but then it was lit, and the sky monkey flew into the sky, with a lot of noise and fire.

The next moment, the people on the speedboat were frantically busy, and then suddenly a rocket was fired, hitting a large ship docked on the shore.

The big ship had made a big hole in the waterline, and it couldn't be blocked, and it quickly tilted to the bottom, but fortunately it was on the shore, and no one was drowned.

Zhang Xianzhong was furious, but the salesman was not in a hurry: "Once I die, there will be 10,000 people from Daxi to be buried together, this emperor, why bother." ”

Although Zhang Xianzhong was annoyed, he couldn't do anything but watch.

Zhang Xianzhong only knew at this time that his activities had been under the surveillance of the Council of Elders, and they had even prepared a "contract" a long time ago, the content of which was naturally to show his teeth and claws, anyway, it was something that brought Daxi to the colony.

In the agreement, in the process of attacking Jiangnan, Onishi must ensure that he and Minqiu have no crimes, and must not rob the people and rape, as for the use of violence to catch strong men, of course, Confucian officials, and those big businessmen who rely on monopoly to block historical progress are not listed, the imperial capital will send more than a dozen military observers to observe the military operations of the Great Western Army, once the violation is discovered, the Great Western Army will be regarded as "civilized"

of the enemy, carrying out a military blockade.

And in exchange, Onishi can exchange the population for weapons, a hundred people can exchange a sword, and 10,000 people can exchange for a musket, of course, a single-shot castrated version, and the range is 100 meters.

Where did Zhang Xianzhong suffer from this anger, of course, he surrendered a lot of times, seeing that the enemy was so generous, but he was also willing to perfunctory, so he stopped in Chizhou City, and spent most of the month looting the city and selling the population to the Presbyterian Church, but he was trying to test the Presbyterian Church, until Li Dingguo went upriver and sent the exact news, the soldiers who boarded the ship from Tianjin Wei really went south to the South Seas, not after running to the south of the Yangtze River with a false knife, he immediately led the troops to Nanjing.

Whether it is King Fu, King Lu, King Tang, King Lu, King Gui who joined this game, or many other anti-kings who set up the banner of supporting the Ming Dynasty, they have long heard the news of Zhang Xianzhong's action in countless rumors. It can be said that except for the city of Nanjing, which had caused a great chaos before, the entire Yangtze River was ruled by real Confucianism, and it was embezzled for various reasons.

The most unlucky is naturally the Fu King Zhu Lianbi, speaking of which this Fu Wang Zhu Lianbi is also an unlucky child, when his father Zhu Yousong died, he was only 40 years old like gold, and Comrade Zhu Lianbi was really young, after his father died, the family was leaderless, and the family members naturally stole the family wealth of the originally rich Fu Wangfu, and sat in Huai'an to eat the mountain.

He was originally happily waiting for his father to be the emperor and his dream of being the prince, but in fact, he took the opportunity to start, with his fat body, but he seduced a lot of girls and young girls, just thinking that he was like the character of Pan An Song Yu in the book, and his Fuwang Mansion itself was a temporary station for fleeing to Huai'an, and all kinds of brainwashed loyal servants had already hung up with the death of Fuwang's grandfather, and the rules and regulations had long been broken, and those servants had all kinds of thoughts, and some took the opportunity to steal Fuwang's treasures, What can be brought out at this time is basically a real treasure, which can be called extremely luxurious, but it can't withstand such theft, not to mention that some servants are watching King Fu ascend the throne, so he has a son, and quickly contributes his daughter, even if he is ten or eight years old.

I didn't think that a few years ago on the edge of the Yangtze River, King Fu was killed, and the immortals in the imperial capital sent out a message that no one admitted, but everyone heard, saying that the emperor died, and Lord Fu Wang was an example.

It turned out that before going to Nanjing to ascend the throne, Zhu Yousong took the opportunity to make a big fortune, all of which were opportunistic rich businessmen who took the opportunity to stammer, or borrowed directly, in fact, Zhu Yousong originally did not plan to pay it back, and the young girls in Luoyang, Henan Province did not give money, and those who borrowed money did not plan to come back.

Zhu Yousong fled from Henan in a hurry, ran to the south in a hurry, and after running to Huai'an, he never settled, but planned to escape depending on the situation, that is, to go to the last opportunity to educate Zhu Lianbi, even if Zhu Yousong died, Zhu Lianbi didn't know how to live and survive.

King Nalu is in Shandong, and he still knows that he can take the opportunity to get a vote, raise money to rebel, and lose the means of production, and he doesn't know the elite Fuwang Mansion, after Zhu Yousong's death, it is dilapidated at an astonishing speed, and Zhu Lianbi is still constantly playing with young girls and being flattered, and those servants are not stupid, a little clever, and they have already hurried away with the soft.

Wait until that morning, after Zhu Lianbi got up early, he found that the few Loli who gave him a "good morning bite" were all gone, the whole house was empty, and no one prepared food for him, and at noon, someone came to the door, it turned out that the title deed of this mansion had already been resold, Zhu Lianbi called I am the son of King Fu, wait for me to kill your whole family, but I can't stop people from driving him out.

This guy has been in Huai'an City for two years, with his identity in Huai'an, although he did not directly do bad things, but his subordinates, how can they not take the opportunity to pull the tiger skin to do bad things, the local government because he is the prince, there is no way to take him, but to endure, and those who dedicated the young girl to him, can only say a word of bad luck, and quickly escaped. Of course, he also knows that it is difficult to find the government at this time, but where to deal with the local government, on the surface, hahahaha, but our little local government can't afford to entertain you.

In the end, I still want to be a person and leave a line, and the idea of wanting to see it in the future is fighting, but the county official found a few big households to blackmail, and then found a place to live in a small courtyard of the government with one-fifth of the money, the servant is not to think about it, that is, to eat some canteen meals mixed together, no more, our small place can't afford to supply, or do you go back to your own fiefdom to eat?

In this era, it can be said that it is commonplace for farmers in the north to be abused and abandoned, in order to survive, Li Zicheng is a monk, a sheep herder, a postman, and a border soldier, he is already a very good citizen.

In this case, the rebels' black hearts are nothing, and most of their hatred is naturally concentrated on the symbols of the Ming Dynasty, those Zhu family.

For example, our King Zhang Xianzhong, when he captured Chongqing Mansion, he was ferocious, not only killing King Rui, but also killing the governor of Sichuan and all the officials in the city.

Although Zhu Lianbi had a hard time in the city, he could only wipe his tears, how could he have suffered like this, the wrong policy of the Ming Dynasty finally affected his children and grandchildren, Zhu Yuanzhang, who doted on his children too much, was a pit for his children and grandchildren.

After two years of fighting, he was also favored by a person surnamed Lu, who occasionally heard the story of Lü Buwei's strange goods, and heard that Liu Bang was favored by Lü Gong, and believed that Qin Shihuang was Lü Buwei's son, and felt that he could also participate, but he gritted his teeth and married his daughter to Zhu Lianbi, and scattered his family wealth in order to recruit a younger brother.

There are a lot of people with ill intentions, the army that came from the imperial capital has never been seen, this wolf has come and shouted too much, and it will naturally be paralyzed, and the officialdom in Jiangnan has officially entered the final madness, and the effect of bad money driving out good money has begun as early as decades ago when the Donglin Party gained power, and those who do things seriously and hope to use state taxes to protect their families and defend the country are immediately not the opponents of those who unite and discuss how to embezzle.

And the weakness of the Jiangnan army was not only known to the elders for the first time based on many investigations, but even the nearby careerists began to move.
