"Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine oars, open the gates of the city to meet the king, and when the king comes, he will not pay food......"

This children's song composed by Li Yan for Li Zicheng laid the foundation for Li Zicheng's later success, made the people of the Central Plains return to their hearts, and finally helped him subvert the Ming Dynasty. It stands to reason that this children's song should not appear here, it should have been made up in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, after Li Yan and Li Gongzi defected to Li Zicheng with the Red Lady, but now it is only in the winter of Chongzhen's tenth year, and it has appeared, more than two years earlier than the original history.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, thinking secretly: History has changed a lot. Hong Chengchou was killed by himself, and Shaanxi was occupied by himself, this is the first major change in history, and the red lady was accidentally accepted by himself, which is a small change, it seems that between the yin and the yang, Li Zicheng got Li Yan's help more than two years earlier than in history, making his children's song more than two years earlier.

It's hard to say about the situation in this world!

Zhu Yuanzhang guessed correctly, because the Red Lady was intercepted by Zhu Yuanzhang in Xinyang, she did not continue to go north, and she did not go to Li Yan's hometown to make trouble, and then a series of interactions between the Red Lady and Li Yan disappeared, and the butterfly's wings were lightly fanned, allowing Li Yan to join Li Zicheng's army more than two years in advance and become Li Zicheng's right-hand man.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang is dead, and the army is all owned by Li Zicheng, and the ambitious Li Zicheng is trying to do a career, if it is the original history, Li Zicheng has just taken over the power, and it is inevitable that he will come to Hu Lai, but in this time and space, Zhu Yuanzhang treats the people well, runs Shaanxi, and sets an example for the righteous army in the world. People who don't have ambition and ability can't learn, that's it. But how can an ambitious person like Li Zicheng not learn?

He was bent on emulating Zhu Yuanzhang, and he also wanted to get a piece of land for himself to make a big deal, and at this time, he ran into Li Yan.

Li Yan put forward to him the proposals of "respecting the virtuous and courteous, eliminating the mob and showing compassion to the people", "practicing benevolence and righteousness, prohibiting soldiers and fornicating and killing, and winning people's hearts in order to achieve great things", and Li Zicheng originally had such a thought. hit it off with Li Yangongzi right now. Adopting his advice, it was decided to change the policy of the 36th Battalion, no longer burning and looting, but buying people's hearts. Prepare for the future of the world.

And so it goes. Li Yan's children's songs naturally spread. At this time, the army was flowing everywhere in Sichuan. Li Yan sent many vigilant people among the rogues, dressed as businessmen, and sang this children's song everywhere. Even a remote place like Guangyuan has been spread.

"Kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine oars, open the gates of the city to meet the king, and when the king comes, he will not pay food......"

The nursery rhyme echoed in everyone's ears, and the children clapped their hands and sang as they ran down the street, then back from the other side with a grin. A child about seven or eight years old smiled and said, "Is King Chuang a good person?" When he comes, he won't have to pay for it! ”

Another child who was less than ten years old also said: "Daddy said that he must be a good person, don't let us pay food, our family can save a lot of food to eat for ourselves." ”

A slightly older child, perhaps thirteen or fourteen years old, glanced sideways at the two children and whispered, "Three babies, five babies, don't talk nonsense...... That King Chuang is a rogue, but our boss here is General Zhenxi, and we want the general's subordinates to hear it, so you two beware of eating boards. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang and others stood next to them in plain clothes, and when they heard the words of these children, they couldn't help but look at each other.

The seven or eight-year-old child is the fifth baby, and he said to the oldest child: "Brother Lei, is General Zhenxi a senior official of the imperial court?" ”

The big thunder looked left and right, and didn't see anyone in a purple military uniform nearby, so he said, "That's not necessarily...... I was on an errand outside my study, and I heard my lord say that this general Zhenxi was a warlord on one side...... Those who do not listen to the orders of the imperial court. It turned out that this Da Lei was the son of a rich family, and he was a boy in the compound of a rich family, so he could occasionally hear what the rich said secretly, so he knew that Zhu Jun was not an officer or soldier.

Sanwazi said: "Is General Zhenxi a good person?" ”

Da Lei sighed: "Today, the yamen is opening a warehouse to release grain...... This man seems to be a good person. ”

The third baby said again: "Then is it better to break into the king?" ”

Da Lei thought carefully for a while, and said in a low voice: "Of course, it's better to not have the king, the king doesn't pay for the grain when he comes, but the general of Zhenxi wants to pay for the grain, is this still worth comparing?" Our lord didn't have to pay grain to the government before, but now that General Zhenxi is here, he also has to pay taxes with ordinary people. Our lord also said that King Chuang may be better than General Zhenxi. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glow faintly shot out.

Several leaders of Zhu Jun were silent, Xu Renjie and Ma Xiaotian had strange faces, and after a while, Xu Renjie came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhu, it seems that Li Zicheng can't keep this person." ”

Ma Xiaotian also said: "It seems that there is no need to enter Sichuan to help the 36th Battalion this time, let's just join forces with the officers and soldiers and kill Li Zicheng." ”

They discussed in a low voice here, but they heard the red lady next to her raise her eyebrows, and said: "According to this, Li Zicheng is a good person, he doesn't collect from the people, isn't it a good thing for the benefit of the world, we shouldn't be right with this kind of good person, we should join forces with him to do the right thing for the sky, why do you say that you want to kill him?" ”

Ma Xiaotian usually praises the red lady, but at this time he doesn't hold it, and said in a low voice: "Red girl, you are so naïve, how can you be as easy to deceive as a child?" ”

When the matchmaker heard this, her eyebrows rose even higher: "Ma Xiaotian, you wooden fish head actually said that I was naïve?" "She doesn't have a difference in her heart, this Ma Xiaotian is stupid, she dares to say that she is naïve? Itchy skin, isn't it? Thinking of this, he was furious, pinched his pink fist, and punched Ma Xiaotian with a punch in his chest. Usually the two of them quarrel, no matter who is right or wrong, as long as she punches her, Ma Xiaotian will immediately be obediently next to her.

But this time it was different, Ma Xiaotian raised her hand slightly, pinched her pink fist, and said seriously: "Usually I follow you, but this time I can't, I have to tell you about it." ”

"You...... Let go of my hands! The red lady was slightly angry.

Ma Xiaotian sighed, and quickly let go of her hand, only then did he come to his senses, it was too rude to hold a woman's hand, and his face suddenly turned red, but he still said seriously: "Brother Zhu taught me ......"

"Did Zhu Baba teach you again? You don't use your own brains, huh? "The red lady hates that iron is not steel, and she really wants to raise her foot and kick it indiscriminately.

Ma Xiaotian said seriously: "It's a bit naïve for me to use my own brain to think about problems, just like you, so I don't think nonsense." ”

Call me naïve again? The red lady wanted to hit someone, but seeing that his face was serious, it was not easy to mess around, so she said obediently: "You say, I listen." ”

Ma Xiaotian pointed to the Guangyuan city wall not far away, and said in a low voice: "Who built this city wall?" ”

The red lady snorted: "Are you stupid to me? Of course, it was repaired by the imperial court. ”

Ma Xiaotian said: "Do you need money to repair the city wall?" ”

The red lady said: "Nonsense, how can you fix it without money?" ”

Ma Xiaotian said again: "Where did the money come from?" ”

The red lady snorted: "Of course, it was obtained by exploiting the people's fat and people's ointment, but it couldn't be that the imperial court got it by farming and digging the land by itself, right?" ”

Ma Xiaotian said: "That's right, it was built after the imperial court collected taxes, and now the question is, if the imperial court does not pay grain and taxes, what money will be used to repair the city wall?" ”

The red lady was asked, she thought for a long time, and was speechless, so she had to play tricks and say: "Don't repair!" As long as the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment, and there are no rogues raging, the city wall will be useless. ”

Ma Xiaotian asked, "What about foreign countries coming to invade us?" For example...... Manchurian Tartar. ”

The red lady is speechless.

Ma Xiaotian asked again: "Let me ask you another question, if you don't pay for food, what will the emperor eat?" ”

The red lady flattened her mouth and thought about it: "Plant your own ......" These three words came out, and she herself felt that it was a little unreliable, and she couldn't help wiping a handful of sweat.

Ma Xiaotian laughed and said: "If Li Zicheng doesn't pay for food, what will he eat?" ”

The red lady pouted: "Self-...... Oneself...... ......"This time she said it even more unconfidently, and she found that she basically had no strength to refute it. Suddenly exclaimed: "Li Zicheng will never grow his own grain, but he doesn't pay grain to the people, what does he eat?" yes, you're right, what exactly does he eat? ”

Ma Xiaotian showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said with a smile: "Cannibalism!" ”

The red lady was taken aback by him, and gasped: "You...... Don't scare me! You stinky little day, dead little day, say some weird things, beware of my boss sucking you. ”

Ma Xiaotian spread his hands and said: "Actually, I don't know what he eats, let Zhu Bugling tell you this, I don't understand the rest of it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly, gave Ma Xiaotian an appreciative look, indicating that he was much smarter than before, and then took over the conversation and said: "Li Zicheng can indeed not pay grain to the people now, he can eat big households." ”

"Big eater?" The red lady immediately understood: "He is against the imperial court, so he can eat the ...... of the court officials first"

"Yes!" Zhu Yuanzhang explained: "He doesn't eat the people, but eats the meat of the court, drinks the blood of the court, kills the gentry, narrows the fat merchants, wins the favor of the poor people, and lets the people help him seize the world...... When he sits on the ...... of the world"

When the leaders heard Zhu Yuanzhang say this, their faces began to be solemn.

Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "When he sits on the world and becomes the new emperor, he will find out, huh? Who do I eat now? ”

"yes, who else could he eat then?" The red lady really can't understand.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said: "He has no one to eat, and the title of not paying for food has spread all over the world, and he can't change his words. Thereupon...... I had to bring about my own destruction. When he perished, what he left behind was a world that had been eaten by him, just giving the opportunity for aliens to rush in. The majestic territory of the Ming Dynasty fell into the hands of aliens. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said, "So, we are going to kill him!" (To be continued.) )
