I don't know when, the big hands hidden in Henan, Shaanxi and Beizhili suddenly relaxed, and the news that the four provinces were no longer blocked, and even more under the impetus of Li Jiajun, the news about Li Jiajun flowed all over the south.

Not only that, but there is an explosive news that quickly spread all over the world, known to the people of the world, so that everyone was shocked to the extent of no return, Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide, died on the crooked neck of the coal mountain, and will be buried in the Ming Tombs in the near future.

For a time, the world was in an uproar!

As the news of Zhu Youzhen's death spread all over the world, it instantly covered up the powerful combat power of the Li family's army, killing 100,000 Qing troops in one fell swoop.

"What the hell is going on? Why did the emperor die suddenly? ”

"Hey, have you heard? The emperor has died, King Li Zicheng occupied the capital, and after the emperor was buried, the founding ceremony will be held, the Great Shun Dynasty will be created, and the founding name is Yongchang! ”

"Chuang Wang Li Zicheng? How is this possible? A gang of thieves, wasn't it just suppressed by Yang Sichang a few years ago? Only eighteen horsemen were left to flee to the mountains, in such a short period of time, how could they have such strength, successively conquered Henan, Shaanxi and Shanxi, and conquered the land of Beijing, forcing the emperor to choose suicide? ”

......

People in the southern regions were boiling, or discussing in private or talking openly, and everyone could not believe the news that seemed to be the sky falling, and they did not want to hear it.

There was no wind before, as if overnight, the imperial court lost all the land in the north, and the Li family army rose up without warning, and the momentum was mighty and irresistible.

However, just when the people in these places were still unable to believe the news, there was a shocking news that overwhelmed Zhu Youzhen's death.

"Oh no, those rumors are true, the emperor really died, and the Li family army was even more wrapped in victory, all the way south, in less than half a month, it captured the entire territory of Shandong, and now there are hundreds of thousands of Li family troops going south, and soon there will be soldiers in the south."

"It's all true, all of this is true, those who escaped from Henan and Shandong, those anti-thieves are extremely powerful, and the officers and troops stationed in various places are not one of them at all, and some of them don't dare to confront them at all, and directly raise their weapons and surrender."

"It's terrible, the Li family army is simply a group of demons, everywhere they go, every time they capture a city, they will plunder people's property and bully people's wives and daughters!"

......

With the gradual approach of hundreds of thousands of Li Jiajun, a tense atmosphere of impending mountain rain has formed in various parts of the south, and everyone is extremely nervous.

However, when these negative news circulated throughout the south, some people did not buy it, and the closer they got to places like Henan, which were occupied by the Li family's army, the more the local people did not believe the rumors, but became excited.

In particular, Nanzhili, which is adjacent to Henan and Shandong, sneered at these rumors slandering Li Jiajun, and although he did not dare to openly disagree, he also had a heated discussion in private and spread positive news about Li Jiajun.

"Hey~hey~ Don't listen to those officials' nonsense, Li Jiajun is not so terrible. According to the letters sent by my relatives in Henan, those rumors deliberately obscured some key details, and it was true that Li Jiajun confiscated his family property everywhere he went, but it was all aimed at the rich and unkind, and it was not against the common people. ”

"Oops... I have also heard some news that Li Jiajun is completely engaged in the righteous act of robbing the rich and helping the poor, not only confiscating the family property of corrupt officials and bullies, and distributing part of the money and grain to the common people, so that the common people can survive the disaster year, but also launched an action to crack down on local tyrants and divide the land. ”

"Hey, what is it to fight local tyrants and divide the land?"

"Hey, hey... I can't tell, but I know one thing, wherever the Li Jiajun captures, every civilian can get a certain amount of land and be protected by the Li Jiajun. King Chuang has clear regulations on all kinds of taxes, and in the first five years, only two or three percent of the taxes will be taken. After five years, until permanent, it will not exceed 50% at most. ”

......

Gradually, a trend was forming in the world, and as more and more news poured into the south, one by one it was confirmed, and the feudal kings, officials, famous generals, and squires in the south suddenly became nervous, and they all became restless and panicked.

However, the people were very excited, and they couldn't wait for Li Jiajun to immediately go south, capture the county capital where they were located, rescue them from the dire situation, and divide the land.

After all, owning the land that belongs to your own family is the ultimate dream of every ordinary person!

With his own land, as long as the taxes are not too heavy, the family can live a stable life, anyway, they are all Han people, and he is the surname that rules this great river and mountain.

For a while, the people in the south were like chicks waiting to be fed, waiting for the arrival of Li Jiajun expectantly, fighting local tyrants and dividing the fields!

The wind and clouds surged, and a wave of reform swept the world.

Henan Runing Mansion, Runing City.

The original Yamen of the Prefect of Runing, Li Guo's hearty voice echoed in the hall, and the sound of laughter continued, one after another.

"Haha... Mr. Xu, your move is really high enough, to fight the war of public opinion, the army has not yet entered Nanzhili, but the entire Jianghuai is already in chaos, the Ming army and the people are separated from morality, and the will is contrary, I am afraid that when our Li Jiajun enters Nanzhili, it is to occupy the entire Jianghuai, and it is easy to break through the city of Nanjing. ”

At this moment, Li Guo and Xu Xiake sat side by side in the upper seat of the hall, and when the former spoke, his face was full of red light and excitement, and the generals were sitting on both sides.

Xu Xiake's old face was also full of joy, and he nodded lightly quite complacently, as soon as Li Guogang finished speaking, he immediately said: "As the old saying goes, the people are like water, the king is like a boat, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat, as long as the Ming court loses the foundation of public opinion, then their military spirit will collapse and they can't make too big waves." ”

"Yes, Mr. Xu, the people of the world have been suffering for a long time, experiencing years of natural disasters and man-made disasters, wars are continuous, and the people of the world are particularly eager for the arrival of a peaceful and prosperous era, and are more inclined to have a Ming monarch's court appear, in that case, with their own land, and then reduce taxes, even if the natural disasters are so bad, they can barely live and live and work in peace and contentment."

Speaking of this, as if thinking of something, Li Guo suddenly turned around and asked, "Mr. Xu, I heard that those rebel troops who surrendered to the Ming Court rebelled again and revolted one after another. ”

"Yes, it's true~!"

Xu Xiake responded in a solemn tone, muttered slightly, and then continued: "As soon as the leaders of those rebel armies got the news of our large-scale moves, especially the siege of the Beijing Division, they took action one after another, Zhang Xianzhong rebelled in Gucheng, and Luo Rucai led his troops to respond in Fang County. ”

"So what's going on now? Did they take Sichuan? Li Guo was shocked, and asked nervously, if Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai really occupied Sichuan, with the danger of the terrain known as the land of abundance, in the short term, it would be difficult for Li Jiajun to take the two?

Xu Xiake also knew this, and immediately replied simply: "Hehe... Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong fought very well, but their luck was too bad, and their actions were not smooth, they were not the opponents of the Sichuan White Pole Army at all, and they were defeated by Qin Liangyu, if there was no accident, I am afraid that it was a matter of the past few days, and they had to withdraw from Sichuan. ”

Hearing this, Li Guo suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the two of them were not able to entrench in Sichuan, they could easily clean it up, either accept it or be tortured and killed.
