The Ming Dynasty was a blessing in disguise, because of Li Tianyang's report on a box of account books, its entire treasury was abundant, at least enough to support the expenses of the imperial court for a year or two.

This was a completely different change from the original history, with these silver coins to be replenished, the imperial court had enough funds to provide relief to the victims and pay military salaries, and for a time the peasant rebellion in full swing in the north was transformed by this.

Countless peasant uprisings were suppressed, and the backbone of the peasant army, including Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, was devastated.

In the original history, the Jurchen army of the Qing Dynasty, which was supposed to launch another invasion of the Ming border pass in September, because of the deflated food in Korea last year, has not recovered until now, and it did not happen in the end.

After the retreat of Hongmen last year, although the Koreans lost the help from Hongmen, even if Hongmen withdrew, they did not know their whereabouts of Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty.

Later, Cui Mingji asked to meet Huang Taiji again to seek the purpose of peace talks, and finally was able to make the trip when Huang Taiji and they all backed down.

The historical trajectory finally returned to the original point, but there were many changes in the branches, and Li Shibai, who was guarded by Fu, was released to North Korea, and there was no longer the heroic "Three Bachelors" in the Korean history books of later generations.

Of course, the losses due to North Korea are also not small, even much greater than in the original history, because Hongmen made the Qing people suffer heavy losses, in order to go back to deal with the Eight Banners and other nobles, Huang Taiji They can only search for as many interests as possible in the land of the Joseon king, and transfer them back to eliminate everyone's dissatisfaction.

The Jurchens have never been vigorous, and although they were still nominally the victorious powers in the First Korean War, it would be a matter of opinion to say how much advantage they had.

Originally, the purpose of attacking Korea was to prepare for the Ming Dynasty in the south, but the losses suffered in Korea, coupled with the interference of Hongmen, caused a lot of losses to several Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners who went out to fight in the Qing Dynasty.

And the children of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, who were Zifu and cannon fodder soldiers, directly lost the sailors who were hard to piece together, adding up to tens of thousands of soldiers.

Therefore, in the two years of Chongzhen's tenth and eleventh years, the Jurchens were much more stable, except for the occasional clashes on the border, other large-scale operations on both sides were extremely restrained.

Without the Jurchens restraining themselves in the north, and the large amount of money and materials obtained from the Jin merchants and Hui merchants who raided their families and exterminated the clan this time, the Ming Dynasty had frequent means for the actions of the peasant uprising army in the north.

Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong and other governors of the DPRK and China took action one after another, giving the other party a strong suppressive force to the peasant army in their own territory.

In late May, after Zhang Xianzhong was forced into a desperate situation after experiencing defeats again and again, he finally surrendered to Xiong Wencan's general army in Gucheng to accept his edict.

Li Zicheng, the second most powerful king of Chuang, was more miserable, a month earlier than the original history in Taozhou outside the city and the Ming Governor Hong Chengchou decisive battle, the final defeat again started the escape journey, the Chaotianxing, Guotianxing and other generals under his command were captured and surrendered, and finally Hong Chengchou and Sun Chengzong expected the direction of their escape, and then set up an ambush to pursue, the Ming Dynasty general Cao Bianjiao fought down and killed almost the entire army.

In the end, only Li Zicheng escaped from the encirclement with five escorts, and his family and confidants were almost all destroyed in this battle, and the baggage and auxiliary were also obtained by the Ming Dynasty army pursuing by the tail.

Even Li Zicheng, who escaped, was seriously injured, but fortunately he was killed by Liu Zongmin's brave soldiers, and finally hid in Shangluo Mountain.

As a result, the peasant uprising in the Ming Dynasty was still gradually gaining momentum, and the surplus in finances also gave the ministers of the central cabinet a place to play.

These influences caused by Hongmen in the tenth and eleventh years of Chongzhen have changed the history of the entire Ming Dynasty in the last years, but for Li Tianyang, who has traveled through later generations and knows little about the history of this era, there is really no emotion.

However, what made him very pleased was that Hongmen had gained more benefits in this series of events than Li Tianyang had imagined.

The number of people on Dayuan Island who can be checked on the list finally reached one million in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and it is rapidly expanding with a base of more than 20,000 new people every year.

Moreover, because most of the population of Hongmen is mainly recruited homeless, and there are not many elderly people, so under the influence of this, Hongmen will have a jaw-dropping population growth rate in the next few years or more years.

Hongmen's finances are even more abundant, and the previous layout of Yuegang cost nearly 200,000 taels of silver, but what was returned to Hongmen was nearly 780,000 taels of silver.

Of course, more than half of them have to share the profits to the members of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, after all, they have contributed a lot in it, and if there is no financial and material support from the family, Hongmen will not have such a big courage to play such a big game of chess.

The Spring Festival of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, it is a festive festival for the whole Hongmen, Li Tianyang generously distributed generous benefits to the soldiers under his command, Qixintang, Hongtang, R&D Institute, government agencies, Salesian Bureau and other departments have all missed the net, all of them have been rewarded by Hongmen, so that this Spring Festival is extraordinarily lively.

Li Tianyang was also triggered by the Wu Qixian incident before, and this time in his spare time, he rarely played a scene of a private interview with a microserver, and took a few guards to go around Keelung Town several times during the Lantern Festival.

The most lively in the Lantern Festival, of course, is to enjoy the lanterns, guess the lantern riddles and other festive scenes, in the past, when the Hongmen foundation was not deep, due to the population limit, such activities have been tepid.

However, with the solid foundation of Hongmen, Keelung Town, as the only window of Hongmen's foreign trade, has more and more people from outside Keelung Town to settle down and seek a living, which can be called a copy of Damingyue Port.

However, as more and more power is delegated to grassroots organizations such as neighborhood committees and public security bureaus, neighborhood committees, which have always been good at exploring their own potential, have begun to organize such things as lantern festivals and temple fairs in an organized manner.

This year, the lantern festival in Keelung Town has reached the peak of Hongmen over the years, and the thirty or forty streets crisscrossing Keelung Town are shrouded in dazzling lanterns.
