From beginning to end, Ao Bai didn't see what the legendary generals admired by Jin Yong looked like, but it didn't matter. Library >

The Jinyi guard sent to Songshan has returned to the capital, reporting that there are indeed many masters in Shaolin Temple, but the profound kung fu is not passed on, and the cheats cannot be brought back, if you want to learn kung fu, Ao Bai must go to Songshan in person.

The border crisis has been removed, and there is nothing for him here, so he went to see Wei Zhongxian, and on the grounds of improving his skills, he took two months off and prepared to go to Shaolin. His position was originally an idle position, and Wei Zhongxian naturally agreed very happily.

At this time, going to Shaolin is a double win.

Ao Bai knew that according to the historical development process, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was likely to die of illness in the near future, and the capital would become a land of right and wrong. Zhu Youzhen was afraid that he would break with the eunuch party, and he stayed here, sandwiched between the two sides, and his position was very embarrassing. If you say good things for the eunuchs, you will offend those civil servants, and if you don't speak for the eunuchs, the eunuchs will look at him unpleasantly, and it will be bad to calculate him. Dilemma, no matter how pleasing it is.

Go to Shaolin Temple to stay for a while, and when the Emperor of the Apocalypse dies, naturally someone will go to Songshan to inform him, the road is far away, and when he receives the notice to rush back, how can he delay for more than ten days, the overall situation has already been decided. He stayed out of it, and no one could blame him.

No one could have thought that Ao Bai was deliberately hiding, and what could be more ideal? He wants to sit on the mountain from afar on Song Mountain to watch the tiger fight, always ready.

What to prepare? After coming to the Central Plains for more than half a year, Ao Bai has always had the intention of rebellion, but he did not establish his own private army. He knows very well that now is not the time, everything he does is in vain, and he has to wait for the right time, place and people.

The art of war pays attention to these three points, and the same is true for rebellion.

The Jin State continued to harass at the border passes, and although a lot of military salaries were wasted by repairing the city outside the passes, the Ming Dynasty's treasury was not empty, and the common people did not rebel. They have not yet reached the point where they can't eat, and in a few places they are more serious, and they just fall into the grass and become robbers, and they can't become a climate.

Ao Bai looked through the relevant information of Jinyiwei, and in recent years, the only one in China called the "people's uprising" was only in Suzhou. In March last year, because of the Zhou Shunchang incident, the people of Suzhou were very angry and shouted in unison, and the road was blocked for a while. By the time the official document on the arrest was read out, tens of thousands of people from Suzhou had unexpectedly gathered. But that time it was not an armed uprising, and it was quickly quelled. Major uprisings took place after Chongzhen succeeded to the throne.

This is not to say that Wei Zhongxian is a generation of famous ministers, when he was in power, the world was peaceful, and Ao Bai also understood some hidden dangers, which have been accumulated since the Wanli period, and have been very serious now.

This hidden danger is that the imperial court owes a large amount of military salaries. In the Ming Dynasty, soldiers and officers in all towns relied on monthly salaries, and if they were not paid for a month, their sources of livelihood would be difficult. The border salary of the imperial court mainly includes ** silver and Beijing transport silver, and the border army towns mainly depend on this for a living.

According to the records, from the 38th year of Wanli to the 18th year of the 7th year of the Apocalypse, the imperial court owed more than 9 million taels of silver to the towns alone. So far this year, the number of arrears has reached an alarming level. These salaries could not be paid as they were, and the arrears were very serious.

Due to the arrears of the imperial court, the soldiers could not receive their salaries on time, and there were many complaints. During the Apocalypse, like the three towns of Guyuan, Yansui and Ningxia, there was often no pay for several months, and there was no pay for many years. Like the outlying forts, there are even those who have not received their salaries for three years.

These are not good places to raise troops, but it is easy to win over these soldiers who are dying of starvation, and it is not difficult for Ao Bai to incite them to rebel in the future as long as he does something "to send charcoal in the snow".

The location is favorable, and Aobai already has. If you want to take over the world, is there anything more convenient than launching a coup d'état within the capital? If it weren't for fishing in troubled waters, he wouldn't want to run to the court to be an official. It is difficult to find a second one for his plan, both ancient and modern, both in China and abroad.

He and Chongzhen are friends temporarily, because he wants to use the imperial power to test whether some of his modern ideas can be implemented, and what the effect will be after implementation, he wants to find out what the common people like, what the landlords like, and what the businessmen like, and finally neutralize these things, and make a set of things that everyone can accept, which will definitely be supported by all parties. There is no rush to act until he knows how to govern the country. In the process of the experiment, if anyone is upset, he only needs to say "The emperor asked me to do this", and he can push out the responsibility. The villain naturally Chongzhen comes, and the hero comes!

When the people of the world only know "Huang Peng" and don't know Chongzhen, they are peaceful. He took advantage of the situation to raise troops, how could Daming not die?

In his previous life, Jin Guo had great luck and became a "yellow bird" after the battle between Li Zicheng and the Ming army. Ao Bai also focused on taking into account the factors of the Jin State. He wants to seek to usurp the throne, but he can't let Daming hurt his vitality due to infighting, so that Jin Guo doesn't want to pick up the leaks.

As long as there are soldiers in his hands, Ao Bai does not take Huang Taiji in his eyes. He knew the Jurchens' way of action well, and in the Central Plains, he was ninety percent sure of winning against the Emperor Taiji. If it weren't for the need for Jin Guo to contain him, he only needed to draw a map, describe the location of the Eight Banners defenders, and find a fierce general like Man Gui to lead 100,000 troops to fight over, maybe Jin Guo had been disabled a few months ago. There are many more such opportunities.

After the Battle of Ningjin, the pattern of the war has changed significantly. Without North Korea's funding, it would be difficult for Mao Wenlong's troops to make waves, and it would be good not to starve to death there. Mongolia saw that Korea was attacked, and the Ming Dynasty sat idly by, and its mentality would definitely change. Coupled with the Battle of Ningjin, the Eight Banners Army had just finished fighting Korea, and immediately fought with the Ming army, captured seventeen cities, and demonstrated force, and many Mongolian tribes may choose to stand with the Jin State.

In this way, it is possible that the strength of the Jin country will be strengthened. They are getting stronger, which is also a good thing for Aobai. The pressure of the border war situation will double, and the common people will raise taxes, and as long as the taxes are increased to the point that they can't survive, they will revolt. Otherwise, no matter what they do, they are just onlookers. When the people revolt, Aobai can build up power.

Moreover, only when Jin Guoqiang reached a certain level, the cautious Huang Taiji dared to lead his troops to the Central Plains, as long as he came, Ao Bai would let him go and never return.

Regarding the matter of going to Shaolin, Ao Bai discussed it with his family. The bulge in the lower abdomen of the phoenix was already obvious, and at this time he was going to go far away, Hai Lanzhu was a little unhappy, and objected: "Why do you have to leave at this time, what if you are not at home when the child is born?" ”

"My dear, I will rush back in two months at most, because of the relationship between King Xin, now several forces are trying to win me over, and I stay in the capital, which is really a big one. I haven't improved in martial arts for a long time, and when the child is born, I can't run around as a father, and I won't have time to go to Shaolin anymore. ”

Now Ao Bai has become a celebrity, and the eunuch party, Donglin party, Zhejiang party and others have feasted him for three days. Some people who want to get ahead and have no way out of the world even spend money on gifts and try their best to slap him. Some people even went to Hefu to try to cheat, and insisted that he accept the gift, it doesn't matter if he doesn't do anything.

Ao Bai doesn't know what words to use to describe some feudal people in this era. It's strange and contradictory.

These people always like people who are equal to themselves and can't get along, they compare with each other, hate each other, and when they have the opportunity, they want to make some trouble for each other and "stumble". Talking about some bad people, right? On the contrary, they are very good to those officials who oppress them, flattering them with all their might, and doing their best to curry favor.

Ao Bai felt that corrupt officials should die, and bribe-givers should be even more guilty, because many corrupt officials are used to bribe-givers. But such an argument did not apply in the late Ming Dynasty, and bribery was a no-brainer...... Who wants to give a gift? If you want to eat with a mouthful of food, it won't work if you don't send something to your boss during the New Year's holiday. If you don't give gifts, others won't say that you are high, they will only say that you are stupid. The Ming Dynasty has decayed to the bones, and it is not at all something that can be rectified by ordinary methods.

It's not easy, so you have to work harder. What he admires the most is the kind of person who is a bit stupid, such as Hari Chagai.

After talking to the three ladies, he went to the first apprentice. This time he wanted to take Harichagai with him. This kid is so powerful, not only has great strength, but also learns kung fu very quickly, one in ten thousand. He even suspected that in a few years, Harichagai would surpass him. went to Shaolin together, so that he learned new kung fu and many powerful fighters. Ao Bai knew very well that when he started learning kung fu on the same starting line, Hari Chagai's understanding was higher than his own.

In just half a year, Hari Chagai has already been able to beat Liang Bin. Recently, the two had a fight, and Hari Chagai has been quite successful since he learned Aobai's defense-based knife technique. Two waist knives in hand, preventing water leakage. Ao Bai felt frightened when he looked at it. When the dance is rising, it can be prevented if you can't hit him with a musket.

The killer madness has never appeared again, and it is better to be cautious in Aobai, in case of madness after going out, two against one may not have no chance of winning. It is also out of this consideration to call Hari Chagai together.

"Black Eagle, come with me to Shaolin Temple to learn kung fu, it will take about two months, we will leave tomorrow, you can prepare."

Hari Chagai, which means "eagle" in Mongolian, is used to being called "black eagle" by the people of Hofu. The name was no longer called.

Hari Chagai rubbed his nose and said with a hippie smile: "Master......"

"Just say anything, is there a problem?"

Hari Chagai said lightly: "Yes, can you not go?" ”

Aobai Khan said: "No. I know that you have a good relationship with Pomegranate, and when you come back from practicing kung fu, I will help you two matchmakers, how about you getting married? ”

These two people have been together all day long, and they have long had feelings, other people's things Pomegranate likes to publicize everywhere, but his own affairs have been kept secret, or Hai Lanzhu and Phoenix have seen the clues. Ao Bai has long wanted to be this matchmaker.

"Really, then I'll clean it up." Hari Chagai was overjoyed and ran back to the house.
