If you give Li Zicheng the golden finger of the sweet potato, even if Yang Qing is very responsible for him.

In fact, there is no other way.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the remaining tricks of this Xiaoice River period in addition to learning from us to reduce more than half of the population, so that the original lack became sufficient, it can only let the people gnaw sweet potatoes, Li Zicheng is especially so, what fishing and hunting and the like don't even have to think, just like Lao Li said, the hungry people in Shaanxi have even eaten up the flies, and it is too exaggerated that the beasts in the fish mountains in the river can be left.

There are fish in the sea.

But Yang Qingke did not have a high-powered trawler.

This is an agricultural country, so you can only ask for food from the land.

And if you want the land to provide more food in this tragic era, then there is only one option, promoting sweet potatoes, and saving any corn and potatoes.

Corn must be bred, China's corn until the era of the bald guy is still just a very chicken crop, except for the three eastern provinces of this wasteland, the corn in other provinces are only planted in those mountains and thin land to supplement the main crops, no one really takes it as the staple food planting, to a large extent, the breeding technology is too poor, the real solution to the corn promotion problem after the founding of the People's Republic of China in those rural agricultural technicians, until the early nineties in the countryside to plant corn has to find a seed to buy seeds.

Later, it was replaced by the seed giants.

Therefore, if you don't teach breeding first, you can't promote it at all, and if you educate it, it will take time.

The north is still starving to death!

Those people in the famine can't wait that long.

As for potatoes, don't even bother.

The potatoes that have really been popularized in modern times are not handed down from this era at all, and I really think that the people of this era don't know that potatoes can be eaten! It's just that the potatoes that flowed into China in this era were useless at all, that is, when they were a new thing, and they were expected to save the famine then the result would be a greater famine, and the Irish proved this with one-third of the population, and the real promotion of Chinese potatoes was introduced to modern potatoes in the real sense of the late Qing Dynasty.

It was a new lineage that Europeans had reintroduced from South America after the Great Irish Famine.

In this era, there are only sweet potatoes.

This is the best and only option.

In a sense, the sweet potato prosperity of Mage is an inevitable choice.

In fact, even the promotion of sweet potatoes is not so easy, from Fujian and Guangdong these subtropical areas to the cold north, it is definitely not to take a few sweet potatoes to solve, raising seedlings, transplanting, winter storage these all need technology, it is indeed pulling the roots of the seedlings can live, but the yield is not the same! Even if the seedlings are not good enough, it will affect the yield. Although these technologies are so simple that modern people seem to have nothing to do with technology, for the northern people who have never been in contact with them, every link is mysteriously like a women's toilet in the eyes of male students, do you really think that sweet potatoes are so easy to promote? It was not until the era of the old dog that we promoted this kind of thing to the Nanyang area.

Fortunately, Yang Qing can still dig out something from the depths of his memory, after all, he has also eaten sweet potato dried noodles and cakes for a few years.

That's lucky.

The rest is Li Zicheng's own promotion.

Immediately afterwards, he returned to Ninghai City.

And at this time, the battle of Shanhaiguan has completely ended, tens of thousands of corpses of the Qing army on the battlefield after the heavy rain, their blood stained several nearby rivers with the rain, and then stained the coast red, a foul smell under the sun, but including Dolgon, the Qing army still escaped the annihilation of the whole army after all, if the armies of the northern front are fully blocked, then they will still be annihilated, but it is a pity that the Ming army on the northern front continues to watch from the wall.

This is not surprising.

Chongzhen acquiesced.

Whether it is Song Quan, Tang Yu or Han Zanzhou, they all sit back and watch the departure of the Qing army.

Tang Tong intercepted, but it was still a one-touch collapse, only Li Guo led the cavalry out of Ningyuan to really fight with the Qing army, but suffered a little loss, after all, the Qing army was really desperate to go home.

In the end, nearly 60,000 Qing troops crossed Ningyuan and returned to their territory.

In this month-long battle, they lost more than 30,000, 10,000 in the decisive battle, and less than 2,000 of Azig's 15,000 people eventually fled back, and the rest were lost in the blocking battles along the way, which is said to be more than 30,000 young and middle-aged people, and the entire Eight Banners Manchurian Mongol and Han armies combined, such people will not exceed 100,000! In fact, our Qing Dynasty has folded nearly one-third of the young and middle-aged people into this gamble of national fortune.

It also lost a county king, a duke, three solid mountains, and a Baya Lama Zhangjing......

Ah, and one of Dorgon's eggs.

This is not counting the bloodbathed Jinzhou Wagyu Village.

If you count these two places and the coastal raids of the naval warships, our Qing Dynasty has a total of more than 50,000 people, which is really broken legs, anyway, they will definitely not be able to recover in the short term, their growth in the past is largely by recruiting rebels and plundering, but this time they have not gained anything, and there are even slaves who escaped, and these losses can only be made up by time.

And then there was infighting.

After all, Dolgon's life and death are unpredictable, even if he doesn't die, he has to be responsible for such a loss, Hauge will not miss this opportunity, the only thing that makes Dolgon happy is that Edulie died in Shanhaiguan, this Zhenglan Banner Gushan and nearly 5,000 Zhenglan Banner elites died on the battlefield, and Jinzhou also died a third of the Zhenglan Banner, so it also leveled the loss of the two white flags and Azig.

There is also a shortage of food.

This point will be more serious in the future, because the next thing will definitely be Li Zicheng's blockade.

There are also Sauron Mongols and Koreans have grass in their hearts, which is also inevitable, they and the Sauron people have just finished fighting for a few years, in fact, the third war against the Sauron Department ended last year, and this time their biggest ally in Mongolia Korqin Department also suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, nearly 3,000 Horqin warriors fell in front of the spear forest of the Shun army, as for North Korea, needless to say, the latter's hatred was just suppressed.

Anyway, they're in big trouble!

So far, the Ming and Qing dynasties have established the pattern of killing the three kingdoms, and the Ming court controls the south of the Huai River, but this will soon not include Sichuan, the Dashun or the Ming Qin Domain's control area south to the Huai River Qinling, west to the Hexi Corridor, north to Ningyuan, Xuanda, northern Shaanxi, and the north of this line belongs to the Qing Dynasty, theoretically to the west to the Hetao area, but in fact, the Mongolian ministries are dependent on it, except for the Horqin tribes are quite close, the others are only nominally subordinated but will not listen to Shenyang's orders at all.

And there is a single family and Zhang Xianzhong.

He used to be a vassal to Li Zicheng's Dashun, but Li Zicheng has removed the emperor name, so it is difficult to say whether he will continue to be a vassal to Li Zicheng, but even if Li Zicheng goes south, he must first solve him in order to cooperate with the attack of the canal line to attack Mongolia and destroy the Song Dynasty, so the two sides will not be friends, and it is not ruled out that Zhang Xianzhong will take the initiative to move closer to Chongzhen, after all, Li Zicheng will be a greater threat to him, and Sichuan's demographic disadvantage is not enough for him to fight against Li Zicheng.

However, at this time, Zhang Xianzhong had not yet won the entire Sichuan.

He had just begun to conquer the city and plunder land in Sichuan, but it was only a matter of time before he took Sichuan, which took him only a few months in history, and by the end of the autumn of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, he had basically completed the control of the Sichuan Basin, and even expanded to Hanzhong and Longnan. This speed means that he has not encountered much resistance in Sichuan, basically looking at the wind and falling from the same place as Li Zicheng, in fact, it is mainly Grandma Qin who really resists him, but Grandma Qin is self-preservation, she has contributed too much to the Ming Dynasty before, and she has no ability to do anything else at this time.

She can only ensure that Zhang Xianzhong does not get involved in Guizhou.

And Chongzhen did not have the ability to send reinforcements to Sichuan during this period of time even if he went to Nanjing, at this time it was only two months before Zhang Xianzhong broke the CD, and it would take more than a month for Chongzhen to go all the way to Nanjing, so Zhang Xianzhong would definitely still take Sichuan.

But if he kills the Shu King's family again, then it will be impossible for him to be a minister even if he wants to, even if Chongzhen doesn't care about the life or death of the Shu King's family......

It's actually better to be dead.

For Chongzhen, it is completely a good thing for these clans to reduce Ding, but even so, it is impossible for him to accept Zhang Xianzhong regardless of public opinion, Li Zicheng has no way, that is for self-protection, and then the emperor can't break his word, he can only admit it if he has already agreed, not to mention that there are hostages like the prince, and the officials dare not ignore the life of the prince to force Chongzhen to break his promise, and the Jiangnan gentry are also afraid that he will go south, so they pinch their noses together to accept this result.

But Zhang Xianzhong is different.

He can't threaten the gentry in Jiangnan, and the King of Shu's family is not qualified enough hostages.

But if Zhang Xianzhong doesn't take Sichuan, and then he can be the emperor behind closed doors, then it is impossible for him to talk to Chongzhen about peace, and taking Sichuan is the premise for him to show favor to Chongzhen.

In short, his affairs there are a little troublesome, and it is difficult to calculate how Yang Qing will develop in the end.

But this is not a big deal, Zhang Xianzhong will divide it, this person is not really the murderous demon king made up by our Qing Dynasty novels, in fact, the most ruthless thing he did in Sichuan was nothing more than to wash the Shu Wangfu with blood, and most of the others were done by the huge pen of our Qing literati. However, when Zhu Zhishu's enemy hit the door, he took out 50,000 taels of silver to reward the army's goods, and he was basically blamed for being baptized in blood, saying that he was the richest man among the vassal kings. His Shu king is not only a prince of him, there are nineteen county kings of the Shu domain system below, and then there are countless other titles at all levels below, the lowest Fengguo lieutenant Yu Lu is also two hundred stones, and the entire Shu Wang family has multiplied for more than two hundred years, and the accumulated wealth is simply incalculable.

Then he took out 50,000 taels.

And 30,000 for the CD to defend the city, 20,000 for Chongqing to defend the city, it is strange to say that it is so stingy.
