The second place to go is naturally Jiangnan.

The prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River has always been a good place to sell extravagantly gold, and there are Qinhuai scenery, literary style, and famous prostitutes crown the world, which is the first choice for these rich people who take refuge in gold.

However, since July last year, the land south of the Yangtze River has gradually belonged to another owner, and Nanjing, which is more prosperous than Beijing, has actually completely changed its courtyard from the inside out.

Although Anton Hou Wang Zheng was domineering, the Shandong army under his command had never lost any battles over the years, except for the sneak attack in Suizhou, and he almost couldn't hear any bad deeds of the soldiers and horses under his command, which were essentially different from Zuo Liangyu and other warlords.

The salt merchants in Shandong, who were originally not in the stream, now speak with a little pride, and often appear in the chambers of commerce in various places, and gradually have their own seats, which is rare for more than 100 years.

Over the years, almost three-fifths of people from all over the world have come to Jiangnan, one-fifth have gone to Shandong and Yangzhou, and the remaining one-fifth has fallen into blood mold and has not escaped.

Of course, the vast majority of these fifths of people are still unable to let go of their family property and property accumulated in the local area for personal reasons.

Compared with them, most people's choices are very casual, and for people in Jiangbei, it is much better to go to Jiangnan, Yangzhou, or the always stable Shandong area than to their own war-torn homeland.

"Wrap 100,000 yuan around your waist, and go down to Yangzhou in March."

Nanjing is already the most prosperous place in the world, Hangjiahu and Susongchang are places where literati and big families like to gather.

The three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty have now been messed up by those so-called important ministers in the court, and the Gangchang ethics that are on the lips all day long are on the lips of others, that is, they are on the lips to show others, what they are like, in fact, they all know it in their hearts.

The so-called "Huguang is ripe, the world is full", the most important grain producing areas of the Ming Dynasty are the areas of Shaanxi, Huguang and Sichuan.

These places are either occupied by thieves, or they are still in chaos, but they nominally belong to the imperial court, and the thieves who occupy Shaanxi and Huguang are no longer the peasants who rose up at the beginning, and they are not so easy to defeat, and they have become the Great Shun Dynasty alongside the Ming Dynasty.

Xi'an and Wuchang fell, and Xiangyang was constantly fought for by officials and thieves due to its geographical location, and in the end, although Li Zicheng did not dare to stay, Wang Zheng had already released cruel words, if the Shandong army did not come, no one dared to touch it for a while.

In addition, the Huguang area is still a chaotic situation, originally Dashun will soon complete the occupation of the entire territory of Huguang, but because the Shandong army in Xuzhou to make too much movement, the main force withdrew.

Zhang Xianzhong has returned to Sichuan since the defeat of Zuo Liangyu in Xi'an, stirring up the situation in the chaos, and is working hard to establish his Great West.

In addition, King Fu was cooked, King Chu was killed, King Qing surrendered, and so on, and there were countless relatives and vassals that fell, and Emperor Chongzhen was shocked and angry from the beginning, and now he has experienced a lot, but he has become accustomed to it.

In fact, for most of the royal relatives and relatives, Chongzhen has no feelings, and the reason why he is angry is nothing more than anger at the insult to the face of the royal family, and even some of the sacrificial work done for them is actually completely for the rules and decency.

In addition to the elites of the five provinces led by Sun Chuanting, Emperor Chongzhen relied on only Zuo Liangyu's army of hundreds of thousands.

Originally, Zuo Liangyu wanted to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them before leading his troops into Sichuan, but he didn't think about it, and now Zhang Xianzhong is no longer the original Zhang Xianzhong, even in the face of Zhang Min, who is much weaker than the Dashun army, the left army is also suffering defeats one after another, and is defeated into an army.

Since entering Sichuan, Zuo Liangyu suddenly fell into a dilemma of Gao Jie, Zhang Xianzhong chased Zuo Liangyu to fight, and the left army lost his armor and abandoned his armor, and the things plundered in various places completely made Zhang Xianzhong's wedding dress.

Zhang Xianzhong He can't win anymore, Li Zicheng doesn't even want to think about it, just when he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard the rumors, saying that the chief soldier Gao Jie also voted for Wang Zheng, and entered Huguang with the adapted men and horses, under the banner of the word "Wang" Huanglong.

Zuo Guangxian, as one of the few Yulin generals in the remnants of the Qin army, was able to defect to just one Anton, which has made Zuo Liangyu very puzzled, and now even Gao Jie has defected to the Shandong army, it is conceivable that this will drive a large number of remnants of Huguang's official army to Shandong.

Along with Gao Jie, there was also the transfer of troops and horses from outside the Shandong army in Henan, Kong Luan of Guide Mansion, and Chen Yongfu of Nanyang Mansion were all ready to move, and it seemed that it was inevitable for Huguang.

After Li Zicheng's main force withdrew from Huguang, Wang Zheng was finally about to start.

At the beginning of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng changed the Yuan Yongchang in Xi'an, established Dashun, and immediately followed Wang Zheng to propose to be crowned King Ning.

Originally, Wang Zheng's attitude towards the court was unclear, such a big force was in his hands, and there was no obstacle to what he wanted to do, although there was no king's name, but the power in his hands was actually even more, and the court should have agreed to it.

To put it bluntly, the Shandong army now has a big business, and the total number of soldiers under Wang Zheng's hands cannot be counted, and there are not a few marquis and earls among the court lords who are attached to it.

In this case, it is naturally impossible for Wang Zheng to appoint his subordinates with the title of the original Shandong General Army, and the Shandong Army has a total of more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under its control.

The Marquis of Andong Houqu, even if the crown prince Shaobao and the governor of Zuo Du are added, the appointment of military generals and civil officials with real power in the local area is not justified, this kind of thing is known to everyone, I mention it, you just nod with the crowd.

What the Shandong army wants is nothing more than a convenience, and with the current imperial court, it really can't afford to want more.

But Chongzhen and these people in the court couldn't see it, and thought that they had fooled Zuo Liangyu and got a prince to send him down.

The name of King Ning is not that Wang Zheng has to be, on the contrary, as a modern person, Wang Zheng does not care about this kind of name, what he values is only the power in his hands, anyway, he can do anything, why bother.

But the civil and military personnel of the first line of the Shandong Army did not think so, and Wang Zheng was appointed by King Ning, which was obviously more justifiable than Anton Hou.

King Ning's royal name is actually not what Wang Zheng wants, it is what the cadres under the Shandong Army want, they follow Wang Zheng to the north and south, born and died to this day, for what, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, or inseparable from the four words of glory and wealth.

On the morning of February 12, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Fan Ruohai, who was in charge of the affairs of Caoyun Lijin, hurriedly came and said that there was a very important event to meet Anton and wait for Wang Zheng.
