Chapter 7 It turned out to be a big fool
I think that back then, Li Zicheng led the army into the capital, and Li Zicheng and the old brothers were all smiling. Thinking about it, it is going to be developed now, and the food and salary problem that has plagued everyone for many years has finally come to an end. That's right, the treasury and internal funds of the Ming Dynasty belong to us, even if you don't want to be developed, I'm afraid you can't do it.
Over the years, our old brothers have followed you Li Zicheng up the knife mountain, down the sea of fire, and rushed around, the hardships and sins that have been endured are really indescribable. Now, it has finally come to fruition. Seeing that Li Zicheng was about to add a yellow robe, facing the south and the north, and ascending the throne as the emperor, the old brothers were all happy for Li Zicheng in their hearts.
Now that the big thing is over, Li Zicheng will definitely reward our old brothers for their meritorious deeds, but our old brothers are all righteous, how can they care about those things that add officials to the knighthood and worship the prime minister, those who can be officials and be masters, they are all Wenqu stars in the sky, our old brothers are all born with mud legs, and mud legs rob Wenqu Xing's job, that is to be punished by God, this point of consciousness Our old brothers still have it.
Of course, even if our old brothers are willing to carry forward their style, not seeking fame or profit, and just want to go back to their hometown to continue drinking and eating fart, how can you Li Zicheng dare to agree. Instead of waiting to trouble you Li Zicheng in the future to worry about our old brothers, just go to the city and go to him together, it is not difficult for him, just let this kid take out the silver in the treasury, and share the profits with everyone casually, it doesn't need too much, no matter what, I have to leave half of it for you Li Zicheng, after all, there is still a huge world to be governed in the future, and our old brothers are righteous and angry, at this time, of course, you have to worry about Li Zicheng. In this way, you Li Zicheng has sat firmly in the country, and our old brothers have benefited from it, and it will be passed on to future generations, which is also a good story between monarchs and ministers, which is really the best of all three. Aren't these all their own people, and if you talk about anything else, you will see the outside, righteousness is important, righteousness is important.
In this way, with a vision for a better future, Li Zicheng took his old brothers and entered the capital in high spirits.
After entering the city, Li Zicheng's first task was to order the relevant personnel to immediately count the silver in the treasury and the treasury, and the relevant personnel quickly took action after receiving the instructions. The efficiency is amazing, and it only took half a day to report the results of the count.
There was silver, but not much, a total of 200,000 taels, 200,000 taels, 200,000 taels, and important things were said three times.
Li Zicheng was shocked by this terrifying number, and suddenly 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart. In the plan, the whole army circular commendation for the personnel concerned in the efficient completion of the treasury and bank inventory work was forced to be cancelled. Li Zicheng, who was expecting to reward the three armies with the silver in the treasury, was completely dumbfounded now, inside and outside the city of Beijing, there were 300,000 troops, and this was 300,000 mouths.
"Zhu Youzhen, I am a young woman, the silver in your dignified Ming treasury is not as much as the silver in the silver cellar of the rich man in the countryside! No wonder you, the dog emperor, can't keep this flowery country, it's not that I Lao Li has to take away the world of your old Zhu family, it's only that the old Zhu family has a big fool like you. ”
Thinking of this heartfelt matter, Li Zicheng couldn't help but scold in his heart.
It's easy to scold two sentences, and Zhu Youzhen hanged himself, and he will care about you scolding a few words, if you have the ability, you Li Zicheng will scold me with the silver.
The big guy pinned his head to the trouser belt, and followed you Li Zicheng for thousands of miles, all the way from Shaanxi to the capital, what is the picture?
Overthrow the corrupt ruling group of the Ming Dynasty and save the people of the world from hanging upside down!
That's for sure, I don't need to say it. But in addition to these tunes, can't we, the old brothers, get some benefits? Jiangshan's surname is Li, everyone can't stop it, but this silver will not be surnamed Li, is it possible, you Li Zicheng really think that if you change your name to Li Zisheng, you can eat meat and drink soup at the same time? If you dare to play like this, it's a big deal to flip the table and start over, everyone is the one who survived in the sea of corpses and blood, who is afraid of whom!
In fact, the next situation is indeed moving in the direction of flipping the table. In the early days of the Dashun army's entry into the city, it can be said that the military discipline was strict, and Li Zicheng even promulgated a military law: trespass into people's houses, rape and plunderers! You say you're not afraid!
However, with the passage of time, this military order has slowly become a dead letter, and the sergeants who cannot get the silver have become more and more lax in military discipline, and the incidents of burglary, rape and robbery have emerged in an endless stream. If this situation continues, Li Zicheng will either simply order to loot the Jingshi, and then go back where everyone came from, or Li Zicheng will wait for the army to mutiny. The problem is that Li Zicheng is unwilling to choose these two paths, that is, a fool chooses these two paths, Li Zicheng sat on the Jinluan Palace, how could he be a fool. If you don't choose, don't choose, as long as you Li Zicheng can get silver, with silver, our old brothers will naturally put righteousness first and loyally assist you Li Zicheng to sit in the country.
In desperation, Li Zicheng had to call on the nobles, officials, and ministers of the former dynasty in the capital to voluntarily help them. Of course, the word voluntary depends on how you understand it. To put it simply, it is to ask people to invite you from your home to settle down in the barracks, and then wait for your family to take money to ransom people. It's not kidnapping, it's helping.
What the? Doing so will lose the support of the people and will not be conducive to the long-term development of the Dashun regime.
This also needs to be said, of course I Lao Li knows that this is tantamount to drinking doves to quench thirst, not to mention anything else, from now on, the scholars and gentry in the whole world will definitely be carried by Lao Li, and then want to take a city without blood, it is probably impossible, and the slogan of "eat his mother, wear his mother, open the gate to meet the king, and do not pay food when the king comes", I'm afraid it's not easy to use. Everyone is not stupid, there is at least a fixed amount of food, what is the difference between paying a salary and raiding a house.
I understand all these truths, but if you don't do this, do you still expect me to be able to come up with money? Today's words will be left here for you, as long as you can give me Lao Li the silver, I Lao Li will give up this old face and give you a grandson directly. If you want to have that ability, I don't need your persuasion, I can just make a cover roll and move to live in the thatched house, which is not enough. The reason why he has come to this point now, to put it bluntly, is that he was forced by silver, Zhu Youzhen, the big fool, took a rope around his neck and got free, but he didn't take this mess away.
Now in the eyes of outsiders, Li Zicheng has lived in the Forbidden City and sat in the Jinluan Palace, and his face is tight, but there are few people who can know the bitterness in my old Li's heart. Let's take this army crusade as an example, to put it nicely, it is called the Million Army Crusade, in fact, the original plan, that is, to sweep in Shanxi, spend a little bit of silver, as for the million army or something, it is all bluffing, just rely on our Shaanxi and Gansu where birds do not lay eggs, not to mention the million army, even we can't afford to raise a hundred thousand army.
If you talk too much, it's all tears. The territory occupied by our Dashun is a poor place, Shaanxi and Gansu don't say, Henan was flooded by the Yellow River released by Hou Sui, the old turtle grandson, the only decent place left, there is only Xiangyang, but this Xiangyang is just a place, how can it be compared to the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. To save Li Shu in the world, if it is not Li Zicheng's turn to jump out and take the lead, it is only to blame that Lao Li was born with a bodhisattva heart, and the people are bitter.
"Even if your name is really Li Zisheng, you may not be able to be the emperor!"
We really don't know who said that.
