"Hmmm! It's faster than I thought! Liu Cheng was lying on the couch, his face was a little haggard, he was too tired these days, and he had continuous symptoms of low-grade fever, so he had to lie on the bed, and Chesan recited the official document for him, and then dictated it.

"Wang Anshi of Shaanxi has already expressed his obedience and sent his two sons as hostages, and now he has taken Xi'an, and he said that he can send troops to Tongguan in mid-October!"

"You reply to him, so that he doesn't have to go out of Tongguan, let him go out of Wuguan, and then go south along the Han River, go straight to Wuchang, and control the land upstream!"

"Yes, sir!" Chesang quickly finished writing the reply, took out another letter, looked at it and said with a smile: "General Cao is very fast, the letter says that he has taken Kaifeng, but the father and son of the Hou family fled with the prince before the siege, it seems that they are going to Luoyang!" ”

"Let Cao Wenzhao not have to worry about this, go all the way south to open the canal, join Brother Xu, and control Nanzhili! Also, you wrote a letter to Jiansheng and asked the Son of Heaven to abolish the crown prince and replace it with another one, I remember that the queen has more than one son, right? ”

Also, you wrote a letter to Jiansheng and asked the Son of Heaven to abolish the crown prince and replace it with another one, I remember that the queen has more than one son, right? ”

"Yes!"

Liu Cheng took off the wet towel covering his forehead, sat up, and the maid next to him hurriedly brought tea and soup, he took a sip and asked, "Is there no news over there in Jiangnan?" ”

"Not yet!" Chesang recalled for a moment and replied: "The last time I said that Abatai fought two victories near Yangzhou, and killed Chuang Qitian and Huang Degong, the Ming army in Jiangbei basically did not have much strength. ”

"What about Jiangnan?"

"The Ming army in the south of the Yangtze River was originally just some coastal defense posts, and they were reluctant to defend themselves, not to mention going out to fight, not to mention the fact that they came to Suzhou at the beginning, and they were killed as soon as they clashed. Speaking of this, Chessan slapped his thigh violently and said with a smile: "By the way, there is a strange thing that I forgot to mention!" ”

"Wonders? What wonders? ”

"Slave change!" A mysterious smile appeared on Qiesang's face: "You should know that there are many private slaves in Jiangnan Jinjin, and there are even thousands of them. Lord Xu raised troops this time, and these slaves took advantage of the situation to riot, occupy the master's property, distribute the master's food, and even manipulated Gosochi, and sat on the deed of tens of thousands of people. ”

"Oh?" Liu Cheng frowned: "These gentlemen used to force good people to be slaves, but now they have no power, so they will naturally turn over, what kind of strange thing is this?" ”

"My lord, this is not a strange thing. However, after the slave mutiny, many of the gentry from all over the south of the Yangtze River fled to Nanjing, and asked Lord Xu to send troops to suppress them, and to take the head of the canal to calm the people. ”

"What?" Liu Cheng was stunned when he heard this: "Come and ask Brother Xu to send troops?" Didn't they call us thieves? ”

"Isn't it that the officers and soldiers can't count on it now?" A sarcastic smile appeared on Chesan's face: "The threat of these traitorous slaves is just around the corner, anyway, in their opinion, whoever can keep the family business for them is the son of heaven!" ”

"Haha!" Liu Cheng laughed when he heard this: "Well said, well said." So how did Brother Xu answer them? ”

"Naturally, it's a prevarication!"

"Hmm!" Liu Cheng nodded: "Very good, it's a pity that these gentlemen haven't seen my new decree yet, otherwise their faces will definitely look good!" ”

At this time, there were a few knocks on the door outside, although someone whispered: "Shanhaiguan's urgent letter!" ”

"Oh? It must be Yue Tuo's battle report, take it! ”

Chesan opened the door and took the letterhead, opened it and smiled: "My lord, good news! Wu Sangui made a surprise attack to break through the nine gates and break through the Guanning army. Duoduo died in the chaos, Dolgon killed himself, and Xiong Wencan was killed by the defeated army on the way to escape. The remaining tens of thousands of Guanning troops have all been disarmed and surrendered. ”

"Oh?" Liu Cheng took the letter, read it carefully, sighed after half a sound, and lay down again. Chesan stood aside and asked cautiously, "What's the matter, don't you seem too happy?" ”

"It's not really, it's just a feeling of emptiness when everything is done!"

"Yes!" Chesang nodded: "The Guanning army has been destroyed, the elite soldiers of the nine sides are already in their hands, and the two have also been taken, and the big thing is already over." When are you going to go to Kyoto? ”

"No, I'm not going to Jingshi!" Liu Cheng shook his head: "Jingshi, let Jiansheng watch it for me, I'll go back to Shenyang first!" ”

"Back to Shenyang?" Chesan was stunned.

"Yes!" Liu Cheng's face showed a wistful smile: "The battle has almost been fought, now is the time for construction, factories, schools, canals, ports, mines, this is what I should do!" You write a letter for me to Liu Zongmin, Tang Muyao, and that Taylor, and ask them to prepare well, and I will see them as soon as I go back!" Time is limited, so let's move faster! ”

"Then, the south has not yet been pacified!" Chesang said urgently.

"It's easy!" Liu Cheng sneered: "The one who took down the Nine Gates is called Wu Sangui, right?" The rest of Guan Ning's army was handed over to him to command, and the old and weak were all dismissed, leaving him with 20,000 men. Let him go south to Huaiqing Mansion, and then cross the Yellow River to take Luoyang, and pursue the Hou family father and son! ”

"My lord, are you trying to drive away the wolf?"

"Well, let them sweep up the embers for me this year, and I'll clean them up next fall!" Speaking of this, Liu Cheng suddenly patted his head: "You write a letter to Li Zicheng for me, and tell him that as long as he does things for me honestly, I will give him all Yungui!" ”

"Yes!"

Jiangnan, Songjiang, South Building.

A lamp is like a bean, Liu Ru is sitting in front of the dresser, looking at herself in the mirror, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like autumn water, it is the youth and young Ai, like flowers, and she can't help but sigh softly. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and she hurriedly stood up and asked, "Is it Zilong?" ”

"Well, it's me!"

"Xiaomei, bring the tea quickly!" Liu Ru was very happy to see her lover, hurriedly got up to greet her, helped him sit down on the Luohan bed and lit a few lamps, and the room suddenly lit up, she found that Chen Zilong's face was full of uncertainties, so she asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Zilong, are things not going well? ”

Chen Zilong didn't speak, just nodded, and then the maid brought the tea, Liu Ru took the tea and walked to Chen Zilong's side, and asked softly, "Those people are still shirking?" ”

Chen Zilong took the tea and took a sip, and sighed: "Yes, they are all talking about slavery, where can they still take care of the righteousness of the monarch and the minister?" ”

It turned out that Liu Rushi and Chen Zilong entrusted the relationship with Mr. Cheng Er that day, and escaped from Nanjing with Ma Shiying, so they went all the way to Fujian and asked Zheng Zhilong to raise troops to the north and recover Nanjing. But he didn't want Zheng Zhilong's attitude to be very ambiguous, saying that there was no will to be a chaotic army, and he said that he didn't know much about the situation in Jiangnan, and if he rashly sent troops, there was no guarantee of military rations and routes. So Liu Rushi and Chen Zilong returned to Songjiang, preparing to contact the local gentry as internal responses, while Ma Shiying stayed in Fujian to continue persuading Zheng Zhilong. They thought that it would not be difficult to organize themselves by contacting the gentlemen through the relationship of the Restoration Society, but they did not want to encounter the matter of slavery, and the gentry everywhere were too busy to protect themselves, so where would they have time to think about these things.

"It's no wonder they're there!" Liu Ru persuaded and explained: "After all, this is all about everyone's family business, but Zilong, didn't you tell them that if General Zheng's army arrives, it will naturally be able to quell the slavery and keep the family business safe?" ”

"Of course I did!" Chen Zilong said angrily: "But these guys don't believe it at all, and some people say that far water can't save near fire, instead of relying on Zheng Zhilong, it's better to invite the one in Nanjing City!" ”

"The one in Nanjing?" Liu Ru's face changed slightly: "He means Xu Hecheng?" ”

"Who else?" Chen Zilong said indignantly: "He said that there are thousands of elite soldiers under the command of Xu Hecheng, how rampant the original sacrifice was, he was broken by a drum, and today it is not a problem to take down the evil slaves who made trouble, if you want to protect your family business, you should go to Nanjing City as soon as possible to lose sincerity." Such disobedience is madness! ”

Liu Ru listened to Chen Zilong's words, a trace of worry appeared on his face, and he asked in a low voice, "Zilong, how did you deal with it at that time?" ”

"Naturally, it is strict and righteous!"

"What about the others?"

"How silent you are, you can't imagine that people's hearts are so corrupt!"

"Not good!" Liu Ru's face changed greatly: "Zilong, it's not safe here, let's go quickly!" ”

Why? Could it be—"

"Zilong, that person originally wanted to curry favor with Xu Hecheng, but you accused him of offending him in person, and said that you should respond to Zheng Zhilong's crusade against Xu Hecheng. At that time, everyone was silent, obviously they all had the intention to do this, but it was just because of your face that it was difficult to speak. Everyone knows that you come to me often, do you think you can stay here for a long time? ”

"Probably not, right?" As soon as Chen Zilong's words fell, he heard a rapid knock on the door downstairs, and then heard the sound of the maid asking, and then heard a clang, and the courtyard door was slammed open, and then the maid screamed, which was particularly sad in the night.

"Take down Chen Zilong, you have to catch him alive!" A rude voice shouted.

"Thief!" Chen Zilong gritted his teeth and scolded, he looked left and right, took off the sword from the wall, pulled out the sword and snatched it downstairs: "Chen Zilong is here, the thief dares!" "When he lifted up his sword and fell, he stabbed the man who was at the head, and he was caught off guard and stabbed down by him. The person behind him was shocked when he saw this, and shouted: "Oh no, the son has been hit by the sword!" ”

Someone asked, "How?" When you go back, the lord will definitely be punished! ”

"No matter, only to kill this guy and avenge the son!"

When everyone heard this, they gathered around, more than ten sticks were down, Chen Zilong blocked twice, his right hand was hit, and the sword didn't know where to throw it, and then he was hit the back of the head, and his eyes were dark, and he was unconscious. Those men surrounded him, and suddenly someone laughed and said: "It turns out that the son is not injured to the point, please invite the doctor to come!" What the? Since Chen Zilong is dead, it's okay to hold Liu Rushi! Okay, Childe has an order, go upstairs and get Liu! ”

Liu Ru heard upstairs that her lover had died, and she was already in despair, and when she heard the person downstairs say that she was going to take herself, a wry smile appeared on her face, she took out a short knife, aimed it at her chest, put the handle of the knife against the cabinet, and said in a low voice: "Hey, if it is, if it is, you are just a woman in the end!" With that, he pounced hard.

End.

A year later.

"Emperor, it's almost time!" Wang Chengen said to Chongzhen respectfully.

"Hmm!" Chongzhen turned his head and reluctantly looked at the majestic Forbidden City behind him, at this time he was dressed in a green robe and wearing a scarf, and he looked no different from an ordinary scholar. By now, he had spent most of his life in the building behind him, and now he would leave here and go to a distant place, probably never to return. When he thought of this, he had a different taste in his heart.

"Princess, Holy Lord!" A voice came from behind, Chongzhen turned around, but it was Liu Cheng. At this time, he was only wearing a round-necked robe, wearing a short knife at his waist, and he was only followed by Hao Shaoqi and a few attendants, smiling at him.

"That's it, I'm no longer a saint, you still call my name!" Chongzhen turned around sadly, and the anger had already been polished away in a year, leaving only peace.

"It's already called smooth, it's better not to change it!" Liu Cheng smiled and said, "Holy Lord, there is another person who wants to go out with you!" ”

"Someone else, who is it?"

"It's a sinner!" With the words, a man in Tsing Yi dressed as a servant walked out from behind Liu Cheng, but it was Yang Sichang. Fang Cai Chongzhen didn't notice it, but now he saw the person coming, and asked in surprise: "Mr. Yang, why did you follow me to the land of Tessie?" ”

"If such a thing happens, it is all the fault of the sinner, and only by serving His Majesty all his life can he atone for his sins!"

"This!" Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, he saw Yang Sichang's resolute attitude, shook his head and sighed: "That's it, that's it!" ”

"Wave the flag!" Liu Cheng shouted: "Send Your Majesty to the car, I wish you happiness and health for the rest of your life!" ”

On October 9, 1639, Emperor Chongzhen died in the Qianqing Palace, and before his death, he was located in the second son Zhu Cijiong, with the year name Chongguang, and the king of Jin Liu became the Taifu, presiding over the state affairs, and was known as the protector of the country. Twelve years later, Emperor Chongguang Chan was located in Liu Cheng, and the Ming Dynasty fell.

End of the book.

Epilogue

It's finally over, the book is about 2.2 million words in total, and according to the calculation of 4,000 words a day, the serialization time will also take 550 days, about a year and a half, which can be regarded as a long-distance run. For the book friends who followed, Weber would like to thank you in advance. Although this is not Webb's first completed book, it is still quite fulfilling.

Presumably, many book lovers will complain that the book is unfinished and unfinished. Weber just wants to remind that the name of this book is "Daming 1630", since Chongzhen, Wang Chengen, and Yang Sichang went to Russia; Liu Ruis and Chen Zilong were killed, and naturally this Ming Dynasty no longer existed, and the book was naturally over. So Webb didn't end up in a bad way, that's for sure.

Well, the reason why I didn't really write it down was that Weber didn't have enough knowledge. Because the next thing to write is large-scale modernization and industrialization, with "Lingao Qiming" in front of the jade, it is better to hide it than to offer ugliness. Many readers like to compare the construction of the traverser to farming, but this is a complete misunderstanding, and industrialization is by no means something that can be developed by occupying a piece of land and closing the door. Modernization and industrialization is based on the division of labor and exchange of a large number of commodities, so industrialization can never be in a corner, but must be in a high concentration of logistics, human flow, and capital flow, and in order to ensure the free flow of various factors, it is necessary to have strong violence to break the old order and establish a new order. The Industrial Revolution of the British Empire was built on the cannibalism of sheep, the plundering of the Americas by the Spaniards, the conquest of the Mughals by Clevau, the blood and sweat of the slave trade, and above all the unfair new global economic order. What Liu Cheng did in this book is to destroy the old system, since it is a destruction, what he does must be evil, but it is necessary evil, because there is no grass under the big tree, and if the old trees are not cut down, the new shoots will not grow. In the final analysis, even the time-traveler is just a tool for historical development.

As for the new book, there are a few options, but they haven't been decided yet, so I want to try a new theme. However, due to work, the next month or two will be very busy, and I will not have time to think about this aspect until I am done. Finally, Weber would like to thank all the book lovers who have supported this book again, and wish everyone good health and all the best!
