Chapter 64 Li Zicheng, your golden finger has been delivered, please sign for it
"Give!"
Yang Qing put his biggest gain in this battle in front of Li Zicheng, and said proudly.
"What is this?"
Li Zicheng was stunned.
Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong and other generals beside him also looked at this glass bottle in amazement, and they naturally wouldn't fail to recognize what the contents of the bottle were soaked in the potion.
"Dolgon's!"
Yang Qing said reservedly.
"Boom!"
All of a sudden, the entire hall of the Shanhaiguan General Military Mansion was boiling, not to mention the top generals around Li Zicheng, that is, Li Laiheng, Hao Shaoqi, and other second-level people all flocked up, regardless of the image, lying there to appreciate this special trophy, man, this kind of thing is always full of bad taste, Liu Zongmin also directly lifted the bottle, and then carefully appreciated the light at the door......
"Madamn, it's not as big as mine!"
He said disdainfully.
A bunch of vulgar guys are comparing each other, but surely no one will admit that they are smaller.
"King Qin, how much is this reward?"
Yang Qing said very simply.
"You want money?"
Li Zicheng said.
"Alas, the lower officials are now carrying nearly 300,000 mouths behind their backs, Guan Ningjun and their families are all in charge of me, although the emperor will definitely not ignore them, but at least they will definitely not be taken care of before the court straightens out, not to mention that they are indispensable to various expenses when they go south, and these have to be worried about by the lower officials!"
Yang Qing lamented.
"Humph!"
Li Zicheng sneered.
Of course he understood what Yang Qing meant, this was to remind him that Guan Ningjun he could not annex, this was already a master, of course, this lord was definitely not Yang Qing, but Chongzhen behind Yang Qing.
It is said that Li Zicheng really wants to annex the power of the Guan Ning army, but at this time the two sides really can't turn their faces, although he just won the battle, but he also lost a lot of losses, and the strength of the Ming army can be undamaged, 30,000 in Ninghai City, 20,000 in Tang Yu, 20,000 on Juehua Island, Guan Ningjun is estimated to be more willing to follow Chongzhen, so that more than 30,000 have to be added, if the two sides tear their faces, his less than 100,000 people also need to face the 100,000 Ming army, and he also has Tang Tong, Bai Guangen and a bunch of wall grass.
Especially when the other party has a fierce general like Yang Qing.
Everyone had seen this guy's bravery, and at least none of his subordinates had the guts to fight him alone.
"There's still an egg missing, and it's not worth anything?"
Li Zicheng took the bottle and said disdainfully.
"Ten thousand taels!"
Then he said.
"Uh, Xie Qin's reward!"
Yang Qing said.
This means that he agreed to the transfer of Guan Ningjun to Chongzhen, as for the rest of the details, there is no need to care, in fact, Guan Ningjun does not need Yang Qing to feed at all, these people also bring their own money and food with them, and there is no problem in maintaining their livelihood in the short term, what they need next is to go south to Tianjin to board the Cao transport ship, and then go to Huai'an by waterway, and they will definitely let them in Huainan in the future, such as Hefei Chaohu These places are very suitable, Once Zuo Liangyu does something, these Guan Ning troops will become a barrier in Nanjing.
The business between him and Li Zicheng is over.
In fact, the two sides had nothing to talk about, and in the future, Chongzhen gave Li Zicheng 1 million stone of grain every year as the protection fee for those sons.
There is nothing else.
Chongzhen will not really think that the north of the Huai River is still his own territory, and Li Zicheng will not really regard him as his emperor, the two sides will not be more than a confrontation across the river in the future, like the Song and Jin Dynasty back then, at most to maintain trade with each other, after all, in theory, Li Zicheng is still the king of Qin and Beijing of the Ming Dynasty, and the passage of Ming merchants to the north and south will not be restricted, and he also needs to maintain the trade between the north and the south.
But all that remains is to guard each other militarily.
For Chongzhen, Xiangyang, Zaoyang, Xinyang, Fengyang, Xuyi, Huai'an, these important towns along the line, all have to deploy heavy troops in the future, ready to meet Li Zicheng's southward movement at any time.
Also for Li Zicheng, he had to quickly solve the war on the northern front, and then complete the cleanup of the rebels in the north, there were a lot of such people, those original Ming Dynasty magistrates and gentry, also raised troops to resist in many places, especially Shandong, where he had the worst control, many places were actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty magistrates and gentry again, and then he had to clean up these people. And his internal military and political system also needs to be straightened out, fortunately, as the Ming Dynasty of Beijing left behind, he only needs to copy as it is, the Ming Dynasty's system itself is no problem, but it lacks strong implementation, look at our Qing Dynasty is also copied as it is, and then pull out the knife and look at it, it will run in an orderly manner, and there is no such thing as Fu Que and other speechless things.
The same is true for officials at all levels.
However, Li Zicheng still needs to face a very troublesome matter, that is, the free grain for Juntian that he promised to the people before.
Taxes are definitely collected.
No regime can play without taxes.
But collecting taxes also means looting the people's grain, and the ordinary people in the north have no surplus grain to give him, unless they are forcibly taxed like the Ming Dynasty, but this means that he deceived the people in the past.
There is also Junda.
The support of the common people is his desire for Juntian.
But the problem is that Juntian means that he and the gentry do not share the sky, just the previous salary, has already led to the Wu Sangui group to borrow troops, and there are rebellions in various places, you must know that before he did not help the salary, even Yan Shenggong put out the tablet of the Son of Heaven of Dashun to prepare to welcome the new monarch, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty almost fell in despair, but after the salary, it was everywhere, and he even had to order a suspension of the torture of the gentry......
Of course, he just gave the order, but the magistrates he appointed didn't necessarily listen!
And Juntian is obviously more ruthless.
This is equivalent to a stab in the chest of a gentry!
Their resistance is bound to be fiercer.
But if it wasn't Juntian, he still deceived the people who supported him, the reason why the people chose him between him and Chongzhen was out of their desire for Juntian, if he couldn't fulfill this promise, then what was the difference between him and Chongzhen?
So what do the people still support him for?
Li Zicheng was also in trouble next.
It will take time for him to solve these problems, and if he doesn't solve them well, there will still be chaos, so the relationship between him and Chongzhen will definitely be maintained in the short term, and then there will be a competition period between the two families. If Chongzhen can quickly complete his Zhongxing in the south and sort out the financial problems and train a strong enough army, then the Ming army will definitely go north to retake Beijing, and if Li Zicheng can solve his internal problems first, he will also not hesitate to go south to complete the unification of the whole country, depending on the speed of both sides.
"King Qin, the lower officials want to ask for a favor for Wu Xiang's family!"
Yang Qing said with a smile on his face.
"I'll let them go!"
Li Zicheng said very simply.
Of course, he knew Yang Qing's previous promise to Wu Sangui, Wu Xiang was worthless to him, even if he didn't kill, he would have to be exiled by his family, since this was the case, he simply gave Yang Qing a personal favor, and he also knew that his victory was largely due to Yang Qing's series of tosses on the northern front.
Even if he goes south in the future, he will have to face Yang Qing, a super fierce general, and Yang Qing obviously has a good impression of him, but Chongzhen has a daughter hanging and he doesn't. Anyway, he didn't believe that Yang Qing would continue to be loyal to Chongzhen after he succeeded, this guy's loyalty to Chongzhen was obviously maintained on the premise that he didn't get someone's daughter to bed, once he succeeded, his loyalty would plummet, so this super fierce general would have the possibility of recruiting him.
In other words, as long as there is such a fierce general, Li Zicheng really doesn't think that there is anyone in the world who can stop him.
"King Xie Qin is complete!"
Yang Qing said.
"King Qin, the lower officials also gave King Qin a gift."
He went on to say.
"What gift?"
Li Zicheng said curiously.
"Does King Qin want to alleviate the famine in the north?"
Yang Qing said.
"Nonsense!"
Li Zicheng said very simply.
"Fujian, Guangdong and other places are planting a kind of crops from the South Seas, called sweet potato, this thing is drought tolerant and thin, although it does not raise people very much, but it is no problem to fill the stomach and starve to death, at this time the drought in the north is a natural disaster that cannot be reversed by manpower, only this thing can be supported to the maximum extent so that the people will not starve to death on a large scale. And the lower official can clearly tell the king of Qin, the lower official has to be taught by a different person, quite know some deduction techniques, and the lower official deduces, this natural disaster will not end in a short time, and it is likely to last for a few more decades to be alleviated, not only in the north but also in the south of the Yangtze River can not escape, this thing is the only magic weapon to survive this natural disaster. ”
Yang Qing said.
"For a few more decades?"
Gao Yigong said in a trembling voice.
"Yes, not only the Ming Dynasty, but all the countries of Taixi can't escape, this is a continuous period of natural disasters, but these years are the most serious, and it will be slightly better to survive these years, but the drought locusts will still continue, and if you want to survive it, you can only plant this widely, but this thing does not support people, at most it can only be maintained without starvation, so if you have the conditions, you have to plant rice and wheat as much as possible, and the mountains and thin land can be planted with this thing."
Yang Qing said.
"It takes a lot of seeds!"
Li Zicheng said.
"No, this thing is overgrown, of course it is best to have seeds, if not, it only needs a branch to take root and reproduce. Zheng Zhilong, the chief soldier of Fujian, will arrive soon, and the King of Qin can find him to cooperate, as long as there is money to be made, he will transport this thing to you, but this year, even if it is transported to the solar term, it has passed, so you can transport a small batch of trial seeds first, and let him try to transport more before the spring of next year. Dig cellars in winter to store, after the Qingming Dynasty, plant straw and the like to cover the insulation seedlings, after the wheat harvest, ridge and transplant seedlings, the climate difference between the north and the south is too big, Fujian and other places planting method may not be suitable for the north, in order to insurance it is best to do more experiments. Once successful, the famine can be greatly alleviated, and it can be cooked, dried to make flour to make cakes, and even made into vermicelli for long-term storage, and even the branches and leaves of this thing can be used as food. ”
While speaking, Yang Qing remembered the sweet potato noodle cake he ate when he was a child.
