In April of the first year of the Apocalypse, half a month had passed since everything had passed, and a period of peaceful development had finally been ushered in in Beijing.

On the battlefield of Liaodong, Xiong Tingcongee led the rescued remnants of Shenyang, Sun Chengzong and his entourage, and finally went straight to Xiping Fort, followed by Nurhachi's leading troops. The last two troops were in front of the ten-mile Changchuan trench array laid by Qi Jin on the Xipingbao front, and encountered Dai Shan and Amin, who were confronting Qi Jin.

I don't know if it's out of Dai Shan's caution or what's going on, Dai Shan and Amin's subordinates haven't tried to storm the ten-mile Changchuan trench since they saw it, but have been wandering and scouting. By the time Xiong Ting's porridge department arrived, Shi Shi Shan and Amin had already retreated and made peace with Nurhachi in the rear.

Nurhachi is worthy of being a military talent, and he only watched the Ming army that was in a solemn formation for a while before ordering the withdrawal of the army. The so-called national military will never fight a war without interests, and now that Shenyang and Liaoyang have fallen into the hands of Nurhachi, what reason is there to fight a war of attrition with the Ming army? Isn't this full of food? Nurhachi knew this very well, and of course Li Jiancheng also understood this truth, so there was no decisive battle from the beginning of the planned retreat of Xiong Tingcongee. If there is a decisive battle, then there is nothing to preserve the vitality of the army, it is better to rely on the advantage of defending the city and the Houjin from the beginning.

The strategic goals of both sides are different, Li Jiancheng's strategic purpose is to win time for peaceful development, and Nurhachi's purpose is actually almost the same, he is also to occupy the entire territory of Liaodong and completely obtain a stable rear situation.

The strategies of the two sides coincide, and it can be said that they are simply in a row. In this way, in the middle of March of the first year of the Apocalypse, the city of Beijing officially announced that the entire territory of Liaodong was completely lost, and from now on it was reduced to the land of Houjin. For this reason, Li Jiancheng published a condolence speech in the newspaper.

He said in the newspaper: invaded; Plundered. It is the sorrow of a nation. It is also a typical example of the incompetence of the national government. Here, I apologize to all the people of the Ming Dynasty. I apologize to the thousands of people who have lost their homes in Liaodong. I swear here, we will take it back, we will fight back, we will make all the invaders pay, no matter who he is, no matter where he comes from, we will not be violable!

Li Jiancheng's indignant individualistic speech, which was not at all like a state leader, unexpectedly won a strong appeal. Nationalist hatred derives from the origins of spiritual leadership, and here he uses the new term 'aggressor'. In the end, he ended with the words 'inviolable', instead of offending China, although it is far away, it will be punished, and his purpose is to arouse the spirit of more orthodox national self-improvement.

Hatred does not bring benefits, with the development of Li Jiancheng's new technology, the level of the country will inevitably improve, the word 'inviolability' is not violence, nor is it a dispute, but the self-sustaining of the strong, but also mercy for the weak. There are many similar spirits in Chinese culture, and Li Jiancheng uses these themes as a guide for the national spirit. It is fearless for the future and self-confidence in the great development of the nation.

With the end of the war in Liaodong. Li Jiancheng also made a judgment on Sun Chengzong and others, especially Sun Chengzong, whose original title was all removed and incorporated into the Ministry of Military Affairs as a military and political staff officer, which means that Sun Chengzong, the chairman of the imperial party, was completely expelled from the central power, which can be regarded as an explanation to the imperial court.

Originally, if Sun Chengzong had established something in Liaodong, he would inevitably enter the upper echelons of the imperial court, and it could be regarded as Li Jiancheng erecting a banner within the imperial court, but unfortunately, with his defeat, Li Jiancheng had no one to carry the flag in the imperial court, and Xu Guangqi still couldn't get on the stage. The power of the imperial court is still divided between Donglin and Qi Chuzhe, and the most sorry thing for Li Jiancheng is Sun Chengzong, Li Jiancheng still clearly remembers Sun Chengzhong's words before leaving. But Li Jiancheng had no choice, in order to achieve stability in Liaodong and win time, he had no other choice at that time except for one Sun Chengzong.

needs a person who is both famous and suitable to sacrifice and obey him, who else can he choose at that time except Sun Chengzong? Li Jiancheng remembered this sorry, and he swore that he would definitely return this kindness to this old man.

Finally, it was the matter of encroaching on the private land of aristocratic officials, and Li Jiancheng's strategy was quite a bit of a prostitution, to put it bluntly, it was actually to use the pressure of public opinion to force the other party to donate money free of charge. This is like a lot of charity galas for the wealthy class, many times you have to do it when you attend the gala, and you have to do it if you don't do it.

The pressure of public opinion guidance was very effective, and Fang Congzhe and his team mobilized donations from the civilian clique, and Li Jiancheng's press corps raided the incident. From beginning to end, he did not conceal the detailed report on the land encroachment that occurred in the land reclamation work organized by the emperor, saying that it was a mistake of the imperial court. However, now many court officials whose land has been encroached upon by the imperial court have expressed their willingness to donate their fields to the cause of peace and security of His Majesty, because it is good that many of them are wasteland, and it is good to make the best use of them, which also highlights the officials' love for the people.

The report that the court officials were well aware of the righteousness soon spread, and for a while the nobles who were still shouting were anxious. Because the press corps has already caught up with the door, these reporters are so annoying and annoying, as soon as they come, they directly said: Duke So-and-so, what do you think about the righteous donation of land by so-and-so! I heard that Hou Ye's land has also been encroached upon, do you have any intention of donating? There are people outside who are nobles who are heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and what do you think about the fact that the country and the people should take the lead in donating? And so on......

Now in Beijing, journalists have become a please. These people with Li Jiancheng's green card represent the public eye, and many things will be sent to the newspaper by them for everyone to know. Now both aristocrats and officials have known that newspapers can make people promoted and make a fortune can also make people swept away, this is already a fact that has been demonstrated several times, so invisibly the atmosphere of the entire Beijing city has changed a lot, in the next half a month of bombardment, forced by the pressure of public opinion, the nobles have said that they are also willing to donate real estate for the country.

The weapon of public opinion is a big sword of Li Jiancheng, and having this weapon is also one of the reasons why he is at ease to establish the parliamentary system, and he has the right to guide public opinion at any time to adjust the voice of the people, so that he can also make the biggest voice in the parliament at any time.

"Ahh It's finally the last one! Li Jiancheng was greatly relieved after approving the last piece of paper in his hand and climbed down on the table.

But at this moment, a certain secretary beauty smashed a stack of thick texts on the table, which shook Li Jiancheng's jaw. Li Jiancheng grabbed his head and looked at these texts in disbelief and said, "How is it possible, didn't I just finish the approval?" Why are there so many! ”

The beautiful secretary didn't care about the emperor's pity, rolled up her sleeves and picked up the pen and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, the ones you just approved are yesterday's work, and today's just started!" ”

Li Jiancheng collapsed on the spot, is there a mistake! What about the corrupt life of the emperor who said that the emperor's clothes came to reach out for food and open his mouth? What about the 30 million harem beauties that were said? Where did all this stuff go? Li Jiancheng really wanted to kneel down and look at the sky, what did he do wrong! Just kill him with a thunderbolt.

At this time, Ning Xue suddenly spoke, she said: "By the way, the emperor, let me report to you, this time the investigation of the profiteers in Shanxi and some of the traitors of the imperial court, so far a total of 78.42 million taels of silver have been seized, and a number of other treasures and properties, if these treasures and properties are sold, the number just now can be doubled, and this time the harvest is very rich!" ”

Ning Xue suddenly said this, which made Li Jiancheng, who had just fallen to the bottom, excited, and said incredibly: "Sell, sell, sell all those messy treasures, leave the real estate, I only need money and real estate!" ”

Seven thousand eight million four hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver, if you sell those treasures, you can double it, this is 140 million taels! It's enough for the Ming Dynasty's financial revenue for twenty years, I rely on it! These bastards are too fat!

No wonder these rich businessmen are fat, but Li Jiancheng is too black. This time, the fall of the Eight Great Merchants in Shanxi was too fierce, and Li Jiancheng's newspapers criticized it over and over again almost to the point of hatred, saying that these guys just want to take my Han dynasty to be those sixth-class pariahs. For these businessmen, Li Jiancheng also adopted the principle of killing the first crime, and not being able to get too close to him! But although Li Jiancheng did not directly kill them, their relatives who were affected suffered even more miserable treatment, and it was a kind of happiness to be cut down by the emperor.

How miserable they were, this matter was also preached to Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng was also stunned, and in the spirit of humanitarianism, Li Jiancheng ordered some people who were still alive to be reined in. At the beginning, it was not only the eight families of Shanxi who did business in Liaodong, but also many other businessmen, and these people were also implicated in different ways, especially those who had cooperated with the eight families of Shanxi. Some of the ledger items are clear, and all of them have to be copied, and some of them have no detailed evidence but have actual business transactions, and all of them have to accept different fines.

The examples are laid out alive there, and no one dares to resist. All in all, Li Jiancheng is like scraping the ground to get so much money on these people!

Li Jiancheng calculated, this time counting the income from these raids, plus the cash collected from Shenyang and Liaoyang, which were also demolished and relocated, the total amount exceeded 100 million taels, this is really a big fortune, Li Jiancheng's eyes are red! (To be continued......)
