Chapter 147: Showdown

"Those hooligans who have no roots, criminals who are evil and courageous, and all kinds of people who take advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits, of course, will also flood out at this time. In the future, of course, we will bring them to justice, cleanse and correct deviations within the scope of our ability. However, this is not the time to be afraid. The Haoqiang in Shandong has not really suffered a major catastrophe and purge since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. The prestige of the peasants is already too great, and the authority of the clan is too deep, and it is impossible to truly improve the appearance of this generation if we do not let the prestige and face of these people be completely swept away and the masses fully realize their own strength. In the future, there will be all kinds of earth emperors and cow ghosts and snake gods to re-fish across the boundary, and they will be fished or. If you use simple words: the correction must be overcorrected, but the correction is not enough to correct... ”

Xiao Xuan continued: "Some people may worry that this will make the people in the future become fatherless or dead, but in fact, it is not necessary. The peasants, who have been freed from the shackles, will lose their effective organization and become a scattered sand, and their ability to resist the monarchy and our ability will only be weaker than the previous local power, not stronger... ”

Of course, Zhou Yuji and the others understood the different attitude and position of this different emperor at this time, and it was impossible to say anything on this fundamental issue. And looking through history, whether it is the Yellow Turban Thief or Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others, they are just the pioneers of the king because they can't mention a new social order. It's just that Zhou Yuji, as a martial artist with some knowledge, believes that such a thing will definitely bring great unease.

Xiao Xuan has greatly changed his plan compared to before, and it is not a whim, but the product of careful consideration. Of course, you can spend years to accumulate enough strength before you can destroy it. However, some sporadic information obtained from the military intelligence system shows that this kind of traditional routine of overhead Shuangwen in the late Ming Dynasty, which was despised by Jianzhou, the peasant army, and the literati, may have the problem of wishful thinking on the part of the Japanese commander of the ghost animal of Renya Mutaguchi. Only I act according to the plan, and everyone else can't spoil my good deeds or start in advance to find trouble. You must have enough strength before you encounter the right boss to deliver meat. However, in fact, even if the overall IQ of the ruling class is limited, those who are not necessarily less ambitious and less intelligent than the protagonist are not obliged to accompany the prince to study.

In just one year and a few months, Xiao Xuan has not only encountered several blatant rebellions. In addition, many teenagers disguised as poor people who tried to blend in with the team were also found out, and a lot of infiltration and wooing of the families of the guards were also found, and there were even reports of collusion with the eunuchs of the imperial horses. Just because you found something like this doesn't mean that everything has been discovered. Obviously, those infiltrators who come specially prepared have good qualifications, and it is possible that they can easily rise to key positions in the Guard.

If you are so conspiracy and trickery, you are not like the protagonist of the historical Shuangwen in the book, who has a set advantage in IQ and even a crushing advantage in luck everywhere. Dealing with the petty moves and plots that may arise at any time in the course of such reform and reform is by no means what I am best at. As for how to deal with the coarse deception and deception of the border officials who may be at any time from their own personal guards to the lowest and most extreme fronts, and how to deal with the entire ruling class making ghosts in the system, it is by no means something that a person like himself, who has just been appointed emperor for a year or two, may not have much experience in governing in a few years, let alone have undergone a special and scientific imperial education, can cope with it. Their own comparative advantage, or the comparative advantage of most traversers, is only to set up a system of rebellion against the table, which is the simplest.

At the end of the Battle of Qingyuan Nanyuan, Xiao Xuan's first thought was the strength of the elite of Jianzhou and the strength of internal and external enemies. If potential internal and external opponents collude openly, as in the early version of 1644, their own 10,000 or so decent troops may not be able to cope with it at all. However, the new idea of firearms allows the craftsmen of the entire team to use the not too complicated raw materials in a very short period of time, and after an average of about 100 decent triple and two-bullet firearms are completely processed every day. Xiao Xuan's view has changed. If the team led by himself now confronts the strong enemy of Jianzhou again, even if he encounters 200 Niu Lu and about 20,000 armored soldiers, he may not be afraid. Because if the army is temporarily expanded to about 20,000 people, a larger formation and team will be formed. Let those recruits be only responsible for the loading of firearms, concentrate on the veterans and shoot with firepower, and still be able to maintain the previous loss ratio without collapsing. Moreover, if the choice of engagement is up to you, you may not choose to engage your opponent in the most unfavorable situation of the field march like in the Qingyuan Plain. We can "fight the enemy without attacking the external enemy and focus on the internal enemy" or "resist the enemy with three points and develop with seven points." In this way, we can deal with the threat of collusion between the internal and external enemy forces, and we have a great deal of certainty.

Xiao Xuan didn't mean to hide these words from Zhou Yuji or even the others around him: "I'm not very old, and I don't have much experience as an emperor. However, the Emperor of Heaven gave me some methods to build an army in his dream, and I revolutionized the world. My understanding is that the Son of Heaven rebelled and fought the world again. If those people can't accept a bright sun and moon and a bright future after all, it is better to let them show their banners as soon as possible to do this with me... ”

Xiao Xuan's behavior in Shandong finally became a fuse, which made many people who were still swaying and watching also make up their minds to rebel at this time. It's just that Xiao Xuan still overestimated some people. Because he has only been on the throne for about a year. Some people have less time to see their own faces, and they are a little caught off guard in all kinds of preparations. If the anti-flag is raised at this time, no one is sure enough to defeat this rebellious son who seems to have begun to collude with the thieves in the north, is very good at training and building troops, and also has a righteous reputation.

Therefore, the preparations made by more people are just to prepare for serious training and army building at this time or to begin to marry and collude with each other, and wait for the thousands of general warriors with sufficient troops to also fight on their side or the next time Jiannu enters the customs war, which is the best time for the Qing monarch to "set things right".

In this way, Xiao Xuan's courage also became bigger and bigger, throughout the first month. By using Li Zicheng and others to coerce big people in disguise, and finally "defeating the thieves" to collect and suppress property, Xiao Xuan's team also expanded from 10,000 to about 70,000 people.

At this time, Li Zicheng and others, who had just been dormant for a while, waved their troops to Xuzhou with greater momentum and lit the flames again.
