In June, there were strong winds and floods in the Changzhou area of Suzhou, the river rose sharply, the city walls were submerged in the stormy floods, and the corpses were floating all over the field, and the news of the earthquake also came out in Shanxi, and dozens of prefectures and counties were affected.

Including Fujian, there has not been much rain since spring this year, and now a major drought has become a major one, and Fujian itself lacks arable land because of the topography, and cannot be self-sufficient in grain.

Zhu Yifeng can't be regarded as a too bad official, and even his reputation is quite good, but he still has to launch an attack on Yu Xiaotian under such circumstances, and the limited financial and material resources are invested in this attack on Nanri Island.

All in all, the current Ming Dynasty can be said to be almost rotten from the inside out, and it is difficult to return, even if Chongzhen ascends the throne, with Chongzhen's character, he is powerless to save it.

So the defeat of Da Ming is only a matter of time, no one can save Da Ming, at this time, since he Yu Xiaotian has already laid down such a situation, if he is still thinking about a corner of peace, then he is not Yu Xiaotian.

So after he just recovered from his injury a few months ago, he began to formally consider the next step, and finally he decided that if he comes, he will be safe, the chaos in the world is not necessarily bad, and the Ming Dynasty can't maintain it, so it's better, rather than letting the Houjin Tartar occupy it, it is better to let him take charge of the world, he believes that even if he is so stupid as Yu Xiaotian, it will not be as good as the descendants of wild boar skin.

Speaking of wild boar skin, Yu Xiaotian remembered the news he had gotten in the past few months, wild boar skin with a large number of Tartars in accordance with the original trajectory in history, in the first month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, went south to attack the Ming Dynasty, first connected Songjin and other seven cities, and then besieged Ningyuan, and Yuan Chonghuan led the army to garrison Ningyuan, and really used a few Hongyi cannons on his hand to hit the Tartars.

It is rumored that this time Ningyuan's great victory Yuan Chonghuan injured the wild boar Pi Nurhaci with the Hongyi cannon, which caused the wild boar Pi to withdraw from Ningyuan, and the government and the opposition were all encouraged by it.

However, Yu Xiaotian did not dare to believe this news, although there is indeed a record in history that Nurhachi was injured in the middle of a cannon in Ningyuan, which led him to die in the end.

But in fact, the battle of Ningyuan happened in the first month, but the wild boar skin died in August, if the wild boar skin was injured by Yuan Chonghuan and died, this wild boar skin was too strong, and it took more than half a year to die, this matter is a bit unreasonable.

However, the wild boar skin was still hung in August, and the emperor Taiji was in power, and the impact of this matter was still quite large, and Yuan Chonghuan was finally favored by Emperor Chongzhen because of this Ningyuan victory, so that he was in charge of Jiliao.

However, Yu Xiaotian did not have any hope for Yuan Chonghuan, others did not know Yuan Chonghuan's ability, but he knew better than anyone what Yuan Chonghuan did after he took the position.

Since Yuan Chonghuan became the governor of Jiliao, after taking a careful inventory, he has never done a few decent things, but after taking office, the first thing he did was to kill Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, and the dragons of Dongjiang Town were leaderless, eliminating a huge threat for the Tartars, and the rest of the things needless to say, after the Tartars lost the threat of Mao Wenlong, they no longer had to worry about the nest being dug up, and under the leadership of Huang Taiji, they began to attack the Ming Dynasty in successive years.

If Mao Wenlong was there, the Tartars would definitely not dare to do this, but it was only because Yuan Chonghuan couldn't get used to Mao Wenlong's self-respect for the army, and he overstepped his authority to kill Mao Wenlong without authorization, so that the Tartars had no worries.

There are two points of view in later generations, one point of view strongly supports Yuan Chonghuan, saying that Yuan Chonghuan is a national hero, and the other point of view directly points to Yuan Chonghuan as the biggest traitor of the Ming Dynasty.

But one thing he can be sure of is that even if Yuan Chonghuan is not secretly fornicating with Tartars, then he Yuan Chonghuan is not a really capable person, otherwise he would not be able to do such a stupid thing as killing Mao Wenlong and cutting off his arm.

And then after his observation of the Ming Dynasty in the past few years, he found that the Ming Dynasty is not without capable people, and the Ming Dynasty actually has some quite capable people, such as Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi and even later Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and others, these people are quite capable, as long as the imperial court can reuse these people, it should not be a big problem to clean up Li Zicheng and Houjin Tartar, and no matter how difficult Daming is, the foundation of more than two hundred years is here, how can it be much stronger than Li Zicheng and Houjin Tartar.

It's a pity that the officials are tilting against each other, but these capable people can't do things wholeheartedly, these capable people, all day long to face all kinds of attacks, everywhere is constrained, coupled with the suspicious character of Emperor Chongzhen, who will be on the throne in the future, can not do one thing wholeheartedly.

This can be said to be the stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was not actually destroyed by the hands of several emperors, on the contrary, it should be destroyed by the so-called Qingliu faction of the Ming Dynasty, these people are full of food all day long, idle and have nothing to pick on other people's faults, who does a good job, they immediately flock to the group to beat it, all in all, Lao Tzu is not good, no one can do it, and no one can do it in the end.

On the other hand, when the Tartars entered the customs, many officials of the Ming Dynasty changed their masters, one by one, with their arms and sleeves, and they did a good job, and nothing was difficult for them, and they were stunned for their new masters to lay a huge country in a few years, and they knew that in fact, the Ming Dynasty was not without capable people, but there was no environment for capable people to do things, so it was really strange to say that the Ming Dynasty did not die.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian, a person from another time and space future, has no sense of awe for Da Ming at all, and now he has a strong army, so it is really strange that Yu Xiaotian does not want to participate in this big battle for the Central Plains in the future.

Of course, these things that Yu Xiaotian thinks about can't be said to anyone for the time being, even if it's the person closest to him, because now although the Ming Dynasty has declined, very few people expect that the Ming Dynasty will collapse in the next ten years, and now saying it will only make people think that he is crazy, even if someone now feels that Yu Xiaotian has the heart of self-reliance, but only thinks that Yu Xiaotian wants to occupy the island of Taiwan and become the king of himself, and few people can think of it. Yu Xiaotian has now begun to fight the idea of the entire Ming Dynasty.

But as long as the idea is settled, Yu Xiaotian will know what to do in the future, although he already has a strong army and fleet, but in the face of the entire Daming, which is still a behemoth in the world, his strength is still too weak.

Let him scatter these thousands of people on the land, at most, he can control a few states and counties, if he wants to take down the entire Ming Dynasty, it is impossible.

And Yu Xiaotian knows better than anyone that although the army he created is very strong, it also has weaknesses, that is, the army he has created is too dependent on logistics, like the army he currently has on hand, the daily consumption of ammunition and materials is several times greater than that of the same number of Ming official troops.

If they want to maintain the operation of such a large army, it is impossible to maintain their combat effectiveness without a solid foundation, and at the moment, although it seems that he has controlled the two places of Tamsui and Jicoop, and has also reclaimed a large amount of land, they are not capable of doing so, and they are completely self-sufficient.

In particular, in terms of grain, it seems that the grain hoarded in their grain depot is piled up, but in fact, most of this grain has been purchased from Guangdong, Zhejiang, and even Nanzhili in the past two years, and now the grain output of Nanri Island and Tamsui City can only meet the needs of immigrants, and can only provide a very small amount of food supply for the army, and most of the military's grain has to be solved by importing.

If you feed an army, food can not be self-sufficient, it is unthinkable, some people may say, the army can be fed by war, relying on looting to meet their own needs, many rebels in history are using this plundering method to meet their own needs, like Li Zicheng Zhang Xianzhong these cattle people, never paid attention to farming, just like locusts carrying a large number of hungry people, everywhere, and finally overthrew the Ming Dynasty?

But for Yu Xiaotian, the army he wants is not the bandit army called Huazi-style of these peasant armies, although it is indeed necessary to smash a lot of old things in another day, but he doesn't want to let his hands get too much blood that shouldn't be shed, because he is a person, not a human monster with no humanity.

So although Yu Xiaotian has made up his mind, but now it is not yet time for him to lead the army to attack the land and have a showdown with Daming, and now although Daming has declined, it has not yet reached the time when the oil is exhausted, and the strength accumulated by Daming for hundreds of years is not something that he can easily shake at present.

After Yu Xiaotian thought about it carefully for a long time, he still decided not to go on the land for the time being, and participate in this battle for hegemony, the bad guys can let others do it, and when the time is ripe, it is not too late for him to reach out and pick peaches.

And for the time being, the most important thing for him is to lay a solid foundation first, establish a military industrial system that can support the consumption of his army, and build a good foundation for the future large-scale explosion of the army, and at the moment his arsenal seems to be very small, but this scale is far from the ability to support a huge army in the future, it can only meet the current needs, and even the current needs cannot be guaranteed.
