Pang Gang was too familiar with the words that Wenren Jun Shicai said, and Li Zicheng relied on these words to fool hundreds of thousands of displaced people to capture Yanjing City and establish his short-lived Dashun Dynasty.

Pang Gang asked lightly: "Eat his mother and wear his mother, and when King Chuang comes, he won't pay for food!" Can this really be the case? This sentence must have been put forward by Li Zicheng's strategists, right? ”

Wen Renjun bowed down and said: "My lord is right, since Li Zicheng captured Hubei, the world has been shaken, and there are many hopeless scholars who have defected to him, among which three people are the leader, they are Li Yan, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, among which Li Yan is the leader, I heard that this person put forward those slogans, and it was he who ordered people to come to my Gunzhou Mansion to sabotage." It's ridiculous that someone can believe such a ridiculous word. ”

Wen Renjun was a little puzzled, why are there people who believe such obviously deceptive words, which dynasty and which generation do not pay food? What do the common people eat if they don't pay for food and become officials? How does the imperial court work? When the common people don't pay for food, do the thieves eat themselves?

As if seeing through what Wen Renjun was thinking, Pang Gang was silent for a while before he sighed lightly: "There is nothing strange about these, the common people have no way to live, as long as someone stands up and raises their arms at this time, even if they know that it is a lie, they will hold on to it like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw." ”

The two of them walked slowly in the inner courtyard, the soles of their shoes creaking on the snow, and white mist erupted from their mouths and noses from time to time.

Wen Renjun rubbed his almost frozen hands and said: "In the past, when I was studying at home, I always didn't understand, why thieves in the world always cut a stubble and grow a stubble like a leek on the ground, don't they want to have a good time?" It wasn't until he traveled around the country that he knew that it was not that the people didn't want to live a good life, but that the government and the court didn't want the people to live.

I heard that in the year of the Apocalypse, there were pearl lamps in the palace, four or five feet high, all made of pearls, and each pearl weighed a penny; The canopy and the streamers are embellished with treasures, and the lower part of the belt is decorated with small beads and tassels. It is said that there are forty-nine pearl lamps more than one foot high. Each hall in the official has several extremely valuable lanterns, the palace is full of white jade stone railings, every few feet outside the stone railing, there are delicate carved dragon heads stretched out every few feet outside the stone railings, and there are small holes chiseled under the chin, which are specially designed for the purpose of hanging lanterns. There is no temple at the stone fence, there is a lotus pile, and each pile hangs a glass lamp. There are tens of thousands of lanterns hanging all over the Forbidden City. When the palace maids frolicked in groups, and a few lamps were dropped, and in an instant, a eunuch took a new one. Such a peaceful and luxurious scene has become a vestige in the blink of an eye! With such arrogance and extravagance, how can the people not rebel? ”

Pang Gang smiled slightly: "Wen Zan Hua, if your words are heard by the imperial court, ten heads will have to be lost." But while you're right, it's not a reason for the thieves to go around and plunder. Those rogues call themselves righteous soldiers, but fortunately things are more outrageous than the official army, such as Liu Zongmin, the leader of the thieves, who is very and always robs dozens of beauties to accompany them. And some of the leaders of the thieves specialize in eating people's hearts, and their eyes are often red when they eat.

In my officer's view, those thieves are nothing more than an organized group of thieves, and there is no justice at all. Although Li Zicheng seems to be good at accepting the advice of his subordinates and is also extremely fierce in battle, this person can only share hardships and hardships, but not wealth and prosperity, and he is ruthless. All these thieves believe in all their lives is the saber and violence in their hands, and even if they do the world, they will only let the people live in misery. ”

In the eyes of Pang Gang, a later person, Li Zicheng's fate was already predictable, and it was also their inevitable fate. In fact, the Liukou led by Li Zicheng was also the team with the worst military discipline at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and they grabbed it wherever they went. The reason why they were repeatedly defeated by the Qing soldiers in history was mainly because they were unpopular. The thieves also hate each other, kill each other constantly, and treat human life like a mustard. These reasons are mainly due to ignorance, they look down on the learned and believe only that the strong are kings. Therefore, success is also in Si, and defeat is also in Si, and this is the essence of the evil slave revolution. Although their uprising was also a last resort, it was indeed because of their existence that the Chinese nation led the development of this nation to a wrong path.

Historically, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's treatment of officials who had returned to the Ming Dynasty was to retain them in their original positions, with the exception of the Liukou, who was the regent at the time, Dolgon, who had issued a secret order: all the surrendered Liukou garrisons could be cut off first and then played, which shows that even the Manchu Tartars despised what they did.

Looking at the gas that instantly turned into a white mist after being exhaled out of his mouth, Pang Gang muttered: "In a few months, the war will start again."

Just as Pang Gang was preparing for the upcoming war, the fleet led by Lin Feng, who had been adrift at sea for more than half a year, finally arrived in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.

Amsterdam was not the capital of the Netherlands in the 17th century, but it was the most important port in the Netherlands (there was no one), and it was at its most glorious time, with more merchant ships than all the countries of Europe combined, and was known as the "coachman of the sea". The Dutch frantically established colonies and trading posts all over the world. This period is known as the "Golden Age" in the Netherlands. As a result, Amsterdam is now the world's financial, trade and cultural centre, as evidenced by its crowded port and the merchant ships that sail in and out like ants.

James. Woodard was a sailor on the Old Man, and at the age of twenty-five he was in the prime of his life, and he had been on the Old Man for seven years, and in those seven years he had traveled half the world, whether England, Prussia, or France, and his wish was to travel all over the world in his lifetime.

Just yesterday, the captain of the "Old Man" finally promoted him to the first mate of the "Old Man", and the ecstatic James led the ship's dozen sailors to a tavern to drink to his heart's content, and at the end he did not know who took him to the room.

Confused, James slowly opened his eyes, and when he felt that his chest was very dull, he looked down and saw a long red hair, a soft body lying next to him, sleeping soundly, James recognized this person, she was Lillian, the daughter of the innkeeper. Pitzcheni, who is also his girlfriend.

"Oh." James sat up, thumped his still groggy head, and reached out to slap his girlfriend's fat buttocks hard, making a crunch.

"Lillian, get up, it's time for me to go back to the boat, or old Roy will curse."

"Honey, sleep with me again, old Roy went on a date with his lover yesterday, and he won't go back so soon." A slightly hoarse voice rang out, and a slightly freckled face appeared in front of James.

"Oh dear, this is not going to work, you know, I have just been promoted to first mate, and the whole ship is waiting for me to deal with it. In order to marry you as soon as possible, I have to work harder! ”

Obviously, for a woman in love, the resistance to her boyfriend's sweet words has always been equal to zero.

After listening to her boyfriend's words, Lilian's resentment suddenly disappeared without a trace, she stretched out her jade arm and hugged her boyfriend and gave him a long kiss, and then smiled: "Okay, for the sake of you being so enthusiastic about making money, I won't keep you." ”

"Honey, then I'll go first."

James quickly stood up and began to get dressed, and he was on the second floor, which was also Lillian's room, and through the window he could see several seabirds flying around in the harbor in the distance.

While getting dressed and admiring the scenery, he smiled and said, "Baby, the weather is good today, and our luck will be very good, if I can come back from Prussia smoothly in the next two months, I will make a lot of money, maybe I won't have to work so hard." ”

Lilian behind her asked curiously, "Didn't you say you were going to England, why did you go to Prussia again?" ”

James laughed, "Haha, that's because that's because, oh God, what's that"

James's face suddenly stiffened, and he stretched out his finger and pointed out the window, and his fingers began to tremble, and at this moment a tall mast appeared in front of him, and then a huge figure appeared in his eye sockets, and around it were seven or eight large ships.

After drifting at sea for more than half a year, the fleet led by Lin Feng finally arrived at the port of Amsterdam, one of the most prosperous ports in the world, under the guidance of Major Nairn.

At this point, everyone in the fleet, including merchants and army sergeants, came to the deck and watched them reach their destination after countless storms and rains.

"Grandma's, it's finally here."

Lin Feng, who was standing on the deck, looked at the deck and let out a long breath, at this time, he was no longer obese half a year ago, and he looked a little chubby at the moment, although he looked a little fat, he was completely within the scope of a normal person.

"Yes, it's finally here, if you don't get to land, I'll go crazy." Kong Lin, who was standing beside Lin Feng, also smiled bitterly, this short distance was the most difficult road he had ever walked in his life.

At this time, a hurried bell suddenly sounded in front, and then several battleships drove in front, and it could be seen that these battleships came out in a hurry, and some of the battleships had not yet fully hoisted their sails.

"Oh no, these red-haired ghosts are going to war! All ships are in battle formation, and their gun positions are fully fired! ”

Mo Hui, the deputy commander of the naval division who had fought all the way, knew that these red-haired ghosts were not good at coming as soon as he saw the opponent's posture, and immediately gave the order to prepare for battle.
