Chapter 597: Insanity

After that, the emperor only had symbolic significance, engaged in diplomacy, presided over some important ceremonies, and so on.

The royal honor is given enough silver, so that Chongzhen and a large family can live a better life than when the imperial power is in hand.

Huang Han doesn't have to be strict about whether he can personally lead the troops, the crumbling Ming Dynasty is getting worse and worse, and the "Red Flag Army" system is thriving, and the population will increase by hundreds of thousands this year, and he has been able to completely control Shanhaiguan and affect Yongping Mansion.

Daming will face the dilemma of not inviting Huang Han to fight and destroy the Liukou, and the country will not be a country.

On the day Huang Han arrived at Gubeikou, he learned two good news and one bad news.

The first good news is that nearly 20,000 infantry, guards, and accompanying soldiers in Kuizhou Mansion have returned to Tiger's Den City, and now they have been trained for seven days and can be pulled into the battlefield at any time.

The second good news is that Qin Yanyi gave birth to a daughter in the Ming Dynasty who was five pounds and fourteen taels, and Qin Liangyu, who had already been entrusted by Huang Han, gave the child a nice name - Huang Yichuan, known as Chuanchuan or Chuan'er.

The bad news was that Chen Qiyu was in trouble, and he listened to the advice of the generals who had received large bribes from the rogues, and wrote to the imperial court to appease the 350,000 rogues trapped in the Carriage Gorge.

Chen Qiyu, the governor of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan, was in a coma, and although he refused to corrupt and win over, it was to no avail.

The cronies and family members around him secretly received the rare treasures sent by the rogue, and the value of them may not be less than a few hundred thousand taels of silver.

In order to escape, the hardcore and bad elements in the carriage gorge paid their blood for the rest of the world, and promised to give 50 taels of silver to each person they recruited to let the besieging officers and soldiers privately divide, according to the calculation of 40,000 rogues, wouldn't it be as high as 2 million taels of silver?

It can be seen that after five or six years of robbery, the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty were harmed, and Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Ma Shouying, Zhang Xianzhong, etc. all saved countless gold and silver treasures.

Chen Qiyu himself did not take bribes, and with his shrewdness, of course, he saw that the people around him and all kinds of generals had made a fortune, how could he insist on going his own way?

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents! Of course, he chose to go with the flow!

Chongzhen was suffering from being beaten by Jiannu and lacked a major general, and saw Chen Qiyu's edict requesting Zhao'an Liukou to give a high-profile reply, "Kou Yizhen is a child, and he doesn't have to be killed!" ”

I really don't know what Emperor Chongzhen is full of, is he delirious? How did the murderous rogues become innocent, and actually gave them the generosity of not being blamed in the past.

If Chongzhen is really a generous person, why did Xu Guangqi, the old man of the pavilion the year before last, beg to leave the life of Sun Yuanhua, who was captured by Kong Youde and refused to renegade, but Emperor Chongzhen resolutely refused, and he must be killed as soon as possible?

The real history of the late Ming Dynasty is somewhat incomprehensible, which is enough to prove that Chongzhen, a young emperor who kills ministers like a chicken, does things too casually and has no rules at all.

Those who should be killed are alive and well, and those who should not be killed are dead, and loyal generals such as Cao Wenzhao, Ma Xianglin, Zhou Yuji, etc., are getting weaker and weaker as they fight, and finally become intentional thieves and have no power to return to the sky.

The generals and high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, Houlu, who secretly played tricks and played tricks, beat people more and more, such as the thief general Zuo Liangyu, Zu Dashou, who is not a person inside and out, and Wu Sangui and Liu Liangzuo, the big traitors who are good at escaping.

In the end, the men and horses of these warlordized generals became the capital of their surrender and construction of slaves to obtain high-ranking officials, and became accomplices who participated in the massacre of Han people.

After the naïve Chongzhen agreed to appease the Liukou, most of the officers and soldiers involved in the encirclement and suppression received the holy order to rush to Shanxi to resist Jiannu, and the Ming army near the carriage gorge also relaxed.

At the end of August, as soon as the Liukou left the Carriage Gorge, they once again pulled the flag and rebelled, and several thousand officers and soldiers who were responsible for recruiting and escorting the Liukou back to their hometowns were beheaded, and several Ming troops such as He Renlong and Zhang Tianli were defeated for thousands of miles.

Shaanxi Gongchang, Pingliang, Lintao, Fengxiang and other prefectures and counties were easily attacked by the Liukou, and within a few days the Liukou recovered their vitality and grew to hundreds of thousands again.

This time, the explosive growth of the Liukou was completely the blessing of Tuo Jiannu, because Jiannu not only created millions of proletarians, but also attracted the main force of hundreds of thousands of Ming troops to the direction of Xuanda.

Chongzhen was tricked by the rogue and deceived by the civil officials and military generals who suppressed the coquet, and he, the final decision-maker, was angry with others instead of thinking about the pain.

Chen Qiyu, a civilian official who had no soldiers in his hands, was arrested and taken to prison by Ti Cai, and those military generals who were in charge were the culprits, but none of them were questioned because they had soldiers in their hands.

The situation in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan has taken a sharp turn for the worse, Chongzhen has no good way, continue to point troops and platoon generals to fight the rogues!

Fortunately, the fact that the Ming army can't beat Jiannu doesn't mean that they can't beat the Liukou, too many mainland battalion generals have made great progress when they are still fighting with the Liukou, not only have they been promoted continuously, but there are more and more people under their command, and the sphere of influence is getting bigger and bigger, and the representative figure is Zuo Liangyu.

Seeing that the Liukou was making trouble again, many Ming generals began to make a fortune with the Liukou again.

Because Jiannu deliberately created millions of proletarians, the Liukou made a comeback and developed rapidly in Shaanxi and Shanxi.

And because Zu Dabi, Zu Dacheng and others found that their men and horses had been suspicious of the imperial court and did not contribute to the work, the liukou once swept the entire Shaanxi, half of Henan, and half of Shanxi Province.

The situation that had changed for the better was inserted by Jiannu and completely ruined by Chongzhen's words, and millions of displaced hungry people took risks in the face of starvation, and the Ming Dynasty, which was already a pot of porridge, fell into the predicament of cannibalism.

The wheat in Liaodong is ripe, and the ancestor of Jinzhou has not seen the grain of the imperial court for more than half a year, and he is all counting on the tuntian in the great plain near Jinzhou to live.

At this time, Liaoxi has entered the autumn harvest, and the vicinity of Ningyuan is the Xingcheng City of later generations, with various land types and good soil quality, which is suitable for plant growth.

In later generations, Xingcheng City has a cultivated land area of nearly 9 million mu, not only planting peanuts, sorghum, corn, millet, wheat, but also a large number of rice fields, and the development of today is not as good as that of later generations, the cultivated land is only more than 4 million mu, the vast majority of which are wheat fields, and there is not an acre of rice fields.

The amount of cultivated land held by the "Red Banner Army" system outside the Guanxi has exceeded 7 million mu, and the total amount of cultivated land in Yongpingfu, Luanzhou, Funing, Zhangdefu in Henan, Kuizhou in Sichuan, and Jingzhou in Huguang has exceeded 10 million mu, with a per capita cultivated land of about 5 mu.

It is conservatively estimated that the "Red Banner Army" system will harvest 13 million stone of grain this autumn.

Of course, the largest planting area is wheat, with an average yield of one stone per mu, followed by millet and yellow millet yields that are almost the same as wheat.

Then followed by high-yield new crops such as potatoes, maize, and sweet potatoes, the sowing area of rice is the least, most of them are in Sichuan and Huguang, and at present there are more than 100,000 mu of paddy fields in Kaiping Town and Funing in the north, and the yield per mu this year is close to two stones.
