Chapter 124: Enjoying Life (1)

The spring of Chongzhen's fifteenth year came very late, and because of the drought, the weather became dry and cold. But the dry and cold weather can't stop the singing and dancing in Yulin City. The bumper harvest in northern Shaanxi has left farmers and landlords with surplus grain. In this year, having surplus food means having money. Merchants from Shanxi, Hebei, and even Henan and Huguang came to buy grain, bringing a large number of heavy copper coins and white silver flowers to the entire land of northern Shaanxi.

With money and food in their hands, the people have solved the problem of food and clothing, and rushed to a well-off life, so they naturally need a more colorful spiritual life. In just one month, 18 new brothels were opened in Yulin City. It's not that kind of low-level kiln, it's all the kind of high-end entertainment clubs that imitate the red light district on the banks of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. Of course, unlike other places, on Zhao Kang's territory, no matter what kind of business you do, you have to pay taxes.

On the high slopes of loess and on the land of southern Mongolia, there are iron and steel plants, cement factories, building materials factories, steam engine factories, match factories, chemical plants, textile factories, paper mills, thermal power plants, and ...... With the support of the drawings and equipment brought by Zhao Kang from the modern society, modern factories have sprung up in Yulin, Yan'an, Qingyang, Baotou, Guihua, Dongsheng and other cities under Zhao Kang's rule. There's a smell of modernity in the air, yes! It's that polluted smell.

Zhao Kang's women captured from Mongolia, except for the extremely beautiful and extremely good figure who were arranged to enter the performance condolence group of the Propaganda Department of the Governor's Palace, the others were all eaten by major factories before they were auctioned. How is it possible for these women to meet the manpower needs of labor-intensive enterprises, commonly known as sweatshops?

In addition, millions of refugees and poor people from Shanxi, southern Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan and other places have poured into northern Shaanxi in search of jobs.

This thriving scene made Zhao Kang very pleased.

Happy, Wang Jixiang, who had been under house arrest for several months, was also released by Zhao Kang. took the heads of Haoge, Tulai, and Nikan to the capital to ask for credit for Zhao Kang. Of course, Zhao Kang was relieved, but Chongzhen had a headache.

Just when Zhao Kang was crusading against the Horqin Division, Wang Qiaonian, the new right attendant of the military department and the governor of the trilateral military affairs, replaced the former governor Fu Zonglong, who died in battle. Gathering more than 30,000 defeated soldiers and remnants of the horse infantry, Yu Chongzhen led the general soldiers He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu out of Tongguan in the first month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. The governor who dug up Li Zicheng's ancestral grave also embarked on the road of no return to the Central Plains.

A few days after Governor Wang entered Henan, Zuo Liangyu broke through Linying County, which Li Zicheng occupied, and robbed all the materials captured by Li Zicheng. But this Zuo Da soldier, who can be called "Zhang Xianzhong's terminator", met Li Zicheng and was not so domineering. Li Zicheng gave up the encirclement of Kaifeng, and attacked Zuo Liangyu with all his might, Zuo Liangyu retreated to Yuncheng after losing the first battle, but it was too late to flee far, Yuncheng was surrounded by the angry Li Zicheng led his troops, so he had to ask Wang Qiaonian for help who still had 30,000 troops in his hand.

Wang Qiaonian convened the generals to discuss: "Yuncheng is in danger. If you go directly to save Yuncheng, you will definitely not be able to defeat Li Zicheng, who already has an army of more than 100,000 people. I heard that Xiangcheng is not far from Yuncheng, and as long as Xiangcheng is breached, it will be possible to cut Li Zicheng's army outside Kaifeng and Yuncheng's army in two. I will give up the city and attack it with the elite, and the thief will retreat to save it, and the danger of the city can be solved. Yuncheng solves the crisis, I hit its front, Zuo Liangyu attacks its back, and the thief can be broken. ”

Governor Wang's ideas were good, and his tactics were extremely correct. It's just that he overestimated the combat effectiveness and fighting will of his subordinates. After capturing Xiangcheng, Li Ziguo panicked and relieved the siege of Yuncheng to save Xiangcheng. As a result, before the battle started, He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, and Niu Chenghu ran away with their teams. Wang Qiaonian had to lead more than 1,000 of his personal guards to retreat into Xiangcheng.

The ending can be imagined, after half a month of hard fighting, Wang Qiaonian still broke through Xiangcheng on February 17, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. However, Wang Qiaonian still showed the integrity of the governor of a town, refused to surrender, and scolded. After being cut off by Li Zicheng's tongue, he was killed (first cutting off his limbs, then digging out his internal organs, and finally cutting off his head).

On the second day of Wang Qiaonian's death, on February 18, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army conquered Songshan. At this time, the whole city is exhausted. Adjutant General Xia Chengde sent his son to the Qing army as a hostage, and made an appointment with the Qing army to attack the city, and he was the internal response. The Qing army attacked it at the end of the period, and the city of Songshan was broken. Governor Qiu Minyang and the chief military officer Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen were all killed in battle. Hong Chengchou was captured. The last elite troops of the Ming Dynasty were completely annihilated in this way.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Zhao Kang, at this time Zhao Kang is lying alone on a big bed in his own house in modern society in a daze. Ni Lan went back to her hometown because of something at home. Zhao Kang, who was accustomed to being surrounded by women around him, suddenly became a loner and was very uncomfortable. I had to take out my mobile phone and go to a certain novel network to take a look and learn how the predecessors made a fortune.

As a result, I don't know if it's the cause of a bad mood or if the menstrual period has arrived. Zhao Kang clicked on many books, and the more he read it, the more boring he became. Look straight at the scolding:

"Tama's is full of white, brainless texts. Can't today's stupid writers write novels that are more logical? One by one, I knew that it was really unscientific to put a pen on my face. What the hell is this article called 'Mentally Retarded and Powerful'? Naruto Uzumaki's otherworldly tour? As soon as I heard the name, it was the main text of the little white brain! The other world is also a place where those battle scum in the Hokage can mix? Write the book 'Majin Buu Naruto Yu' brother may give you some reward, that's called invincible, that's called crushing! You see that this street writer with the pen name 'Brainless and Powerful' is even more stupid to jump off the building, and you are embarrassed to upload a novel with only 500 words in a chapter? Do you think this is a female frequency? The point is that Bilian is okay? ”

"By the way, why hasn't the book "Plug-in Warlord" that I've been chasing for so long been updated today, it's really unlucky that I can't stuff my teeth when I drink cold water." Zhao Kang remembered a historical novel he used to like to read.

"It's hard to see a good work with smooth writing, clear thinking, logic, and taste, why don't you update it! The most important thing is that I heard from netizens that the author of that book is 'very good and powerful' and is still a super beauty, so beautiful that she spits bubbles. But I haven't changed it for two days, so I can't wait for myself to panic, so I despise it first. Zhao Kang muttered to himself.

Seeing that the book he was chasing was not updated, Zhao Kang's interest in novels immediately decreased, and he opened the list on the homepage to click on a few currently popular novels to see, but he was not interested, and the more he read, the more depressed he became.
