……

At this time, all the generals in the hall expressed their vows not to retreat.

Prepare to battle the Tartars on the battlefield of Taiyuan!

And Lao Zhu sat quietly on the side, calmly watching all this.

What Zhang Tianlin said just now completely boosted the morale of the generals, although no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.

But no matter what they think, as long as what they do is consistent with what they say, then there is still some hope in Taiyuan.

At present, we can only hope that they will win this battle of Shanxi, otherwise when they lose, it will be time for the Dashun contradiction to break out......

After Zhang Tianlin mobilized the emotions of the generals, he stopped talking about business.

Let the dancer, who had just gone down before they talk, call back again.

Keep the crowd singing and dancing.

This is likely to be their last enjoyment, and it's okay to be presumptuous.

Just as everyone continued to drink heavily, Lao Zhu keenly saw a subordinate, hurriedly ran to Zhang Tianlin's side, and whispered a few words.

Suddenly, Zhang Tianlin's face became horrified.

But in the next moment, his expression continued to calm down.

It's as if everything just now was just an illusion.

If it weren't for Lao Zhu's careful heart, he had been carefully observing the surroundings.

I would never have discovered this little episode.

At this time, Zhang Tianlin let him go down after listening to what his subordinates said.

He continued to brag and fart with the generals.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The generals were all drunk one by one, and were supported back by their respective subordinates.

Only Lao Zhu and Ke Tianxiang are extremely sober.

One of them didn't dare to get drunk because he was afraid that after getting drunk, he would talk nonsense and reveal his identity, and the other was that he rarely drank alcohol, so he didn't get drunk.

Just as they greeted each other and were about to say goodbye and return to the camp.

The guards around Zhang Tianlin came over and told them that the general had something important to discuss and asked them to go to the back hall.

Hearing this, Ke Tianxiang's face was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what the general was looking for them to do in the middle of the night.

But Zhang Tianlin spoke, he still had to go.

And Lao Zhu instantly remembered the scene at the banquet.

Someone must have come over to report a very shocking news.

Otherwise, Zhang Tianlin would not have shown that look, let alone called them over.

Maybe ......, it's the Tartars who have already dispatched troops to call over!!

Lao Zhu and Ke Tianxiang walked into the back hall together.

At this time, Zhang Tianlin had already sat on the main seat and waited for a long time.

After a period of etiquette, Ke Tianxiang and Lao Zhu sat separately.

As soon as they sat down, Zhang Tianlin said a shocking news!

"Li Yan was killed by His Majesty......"

"Who'???!"

As soon as he boarded, Ke Tianxiang stood up from his seat suddenly.

His eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Tianlin in disbelief.

I can't believe that this kind of fantastical words actually came out of Zhang Tianlin's mouth!

Lao Zhu is the same at the moment, but he is not as unbelievable as Ke Tianxiang.

Just a little shocked and deeply confused.

Li Yan is a person, even in Chongzhen's memory, he has a deep impression.

Li Yan's original name was Li Xin, and he was a person in the Great Ming Qi period at the beginning, because his father Li Jingbai had some relationship with Wei Zhongxian.

After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was removed from his post as a citizen.

Although Li Jingbai lost his official position and resigned, his Li family was still one of the top gentry and wealthy people in the local area.

And Li Yan is also well-known in the local area, and he is known as a talent of "both civil and military" at a young age.

If Li Yan continues to live like this, he can be a luxurious rich son.

But he had a good rich life, but he rode alone to join Li Zicheng, who didn't even have a piece of land at that time.

Isn't this for the sake of ideals? Isn't it for true love?

Otherwise, who would let go of a life of big fish and big meat to follow a rebel leader who has nothing?

And with the addition of Li Yan, the thief instantly had a central idea and a goal.

put forward many policies to gain the support of the people, which completely allowed Li Zicheng to gain a firm foothold in Henan and other places.

Subsequently, with the assistance of Li Yan, he established Dashun, entered Beijing, and overthrew the Ming Dynasty.

However, it is such a top strategist who followed Li Zicheng in Dashun and made great contributions.

Now you tell them that Li Yan was killed by Li Zicheng himself????

Isn't that a bit too impractical?

No matter how stupid Li Zicheng is, it is impossible for him to do this kind of thing where his relatives are painful and his enemies are happy???

But in the face of their questioning looks, Zhang Tianlin still nodded.

This action is certainly not to tell them that this thing is true!

Li Zicheng really did such a stupid thing!!

"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible!! ”

Ke Tianxiang waved his hand and said to Zhang Tianlin with red eyes.

"General, are you amusing me? Is it just a joke to see that I've been stressed too much lately? Isn't it!! Checkmate!!! ”

Listening to Ke Tianxiang's slightly anxious voice.

Zhang Tianlin could understand Ke Tianxiang's feelings at this time.

As a veteran who followed Li Zicheng from the south to the north, they have always believed in Li Zicheng and believe that his actions have never been missed.

It also has a high prestige in the hearts of these veterans.

And it is such a king who is deeply convinced by them, but now he has killed his loyal subordinates?

This had to make Ke Tianxiang feel a little ridiculous.

Seeing that Ke Tianxiang's emotions were a little excited, Lao Zhu hurriedly stood up and asked.

"General, Your Majesty always killed Li Yan for a reason, right? Is it possible that Li Yan committed a great crime that had to be killed, and His Majesty had no choice but to kill him? ”

Otherwise, how to explain Li Zicheng's behavior, is it really stupid?

As soon as Lao Zhu said this, Ke Tianxiang suddenly felt some truth.

hurriedly looked closely at Zhang Tianlin's eyes.

Hopefully, that's really possible.

"Alas, the news from Xi'an is that Li Yan has different intentions, and he wants to set up his own mountain, so His Majesty killed him."

Zhang Tianlin said something that he himself felt a little ridiculous.

He has met Li Yan many times, and he has even talked about it with other generals.

It's just a slightly idealistic upright person, but his suggestions and strategies are correct.

It's just that the speech is a little too straightforward.

belongs to the capable ministers like Wei Zheng and Hai Rui.

It is more reliable to say that he is a traitor of the former Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the accurate information sent by his people in Xi'an was that Li Yan was only retreating when he proposed that the Tartars would attack Shanxi and Henan in a few days.

In order to prevent the door of Shaanxi from opening widely, it was requested to bring a force to guard Henan.

This is obviously a very normal and correct strategy, but he was framed by Niu Jinxing, saying that he had two hearts and wanted to stand on his own.

What's even more ridiculous is that His Majesty still believes it??!

……

"Let the powerful gentry return the land?"

"Boss Wang, are you a little whimsical?"

In the end, Huang Fei couldn't help but say.

"Do you think those people will be able to return it voluntarily? If so, why did Da Ming get to such a point? ”

Zhu Di's idea is very beautiful, but it is precisely because it is so beautiful.

It can't be realized!

Now it seems that this Yongming King has some ability, but he seems to be a little ...... Somewhat simple.

Huang Fei was a little disappointed in his heart.

When he just heard Zhu Di point out the root of the Ming Dynasty, he was still very happy.

The people who think that they can really revitalize the Ming Dynasty from the new are here.

But today, it's just that.

Just when Huang Fei was disappointed, he heard Zhu Di smile lightly.

"Boss Bai, do you think I don't know the habits of those powerful gentry?"

"Let them return the land themselves, I'm afraid they will never wait for that day!"

Zhu Di said contemptuously.

This group of gentry who only care about their own interests, let them give up their land, that is to let them cut their flesh.

For them, they would rather rebel than never return it!

So it's simply not possible.

"Then why did the boss say that the gentry should return the land?"

Hearing Zhu Di's answer, Huang Fei asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, I mean to let the gentry return the land, but I didn't say that I asked the gentry to return the land voluntarily."

Zhu Di chuckled.

As soon as these words came out, Huang Fei was stunned at first, but then he suddenly thought of a possibility.

The face is full of incredulity.

Pointing at Zhu Di, he hesitated and said, "You don't want to use troops, do you?"

If the gentry are not allowed to return the land voluntarily, then they can only be forced!

"Not bad."

Zhu Di's answer completely confirmed Huang Fei's guess.

"You're crazy!"

Huang Fei instantly stood up from the stool.

"Forcibly mobilize troops against the gentry, so what are the difference between you and the thief?!"

You know, during this time, because of the thieves to those Ming officials who surrendered to them in Beijing.

Almost all of them are "chasing dirty salaries", and they rarely hire Daming officials.

It is said to be "chasing dirty", but in fact, it is copying the house.

This also caused many officials who surrendered to the thieves to regret it and ran back to Nanjing one after another.

But it's a pity, because of the reason why these people surrendered to the thieves.

Naturally, Nanjing could not tolerate them here, not only did not accept their rebellion and surrendered, but also asked the criminal department and the official department to investigate their responsibility for surrendering and breaking into thieves.

As a result, this group of people ran to the Qing court.

Because the Qing court did not hold them accountable, and also reinstated their officials.

Slowly, the ministers in Nanjing found that there was almost no one in the north to rejoin them.

This made Nanjing regret it again, after all, this group of people also has a certain amount of power or fame in the north.

It doesn't seem like a good thing to just keep it out.

But the words have been spoken, and the decree has been issued, and it cannot be changed anymore, so it can only be done.

Therefore, these gentry and powerful people may kill people, set fires, and bully the people, which is not a good thing, but you have to use them more than that.

Because if you want to maintain the territory of Notda, you have to rely on them!

What's more, these should also be from the north, if you really come to the south according to Zhu Di's idea.

That's incredible.

The gentry in the whole south are more powerful than in the north.

If he just mobilized his sword soldiers, even if Zhu Di finally entered Nanjing City and became the emperor.

He will also be overthrown by the gentry and powerful families.

It is even possible that without those gentry and heroes, the people in the court will overthrow him!

He could think of how Zhu Di was betrayed by everyone at that time!!

"Boss Bai~, this is a bit serious."

"How can I be the same as those thieves?"

Zhu Di waved his hand.

"I'm just asking those people to return the people's land, and I'm naturally a courtier of the Ming Dynasty who is willing."

"If I don't want to, I'll just use the sword."

Then I'm afraid that no one in the entire Ming Dynasty will be willing.

Huang Fei secretly slandered to himself.

"And I'm just asking them to divide some of the land that they have taken by force, and I naturally won't touch the land they have cultivated themselves."

"Isn't it good to give the people a way to live?"

"Do they have to wait until the people rebel against them before they are willing to do it?"

Zhu Di said indifferently.

"Boss Wang."

"If you let them give up the land, you're asking for their lives, and I don't think anyone would want to."

"If you do this, I'm afraid Da Ming will die immediately!"

Huang Fei shook his head and said.

"Dead country?"

"Didn't my Da Ming lose his country?"

Zhu Di said directly in a cold voice.

"Ah...... You...... This ......"

As soon as Zhu Di's words came out, Huang Fei was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

From the perspective of legal system, the Ming Dynasty did lose the country by itself.

He died when Emperor Chongzhen died in the city of Beijing.

At this moment, the imperial court reorganized in Nanjing just wanted to continue the Ming Dynasty.

But anyone can say these words, and it is quite inappropriate to say them from the mouth of you, a Ming vassal king.

After all, this Ming belongs to your Zhu family, not ours.

And if you say so, aren't you rebelling?

This is not the same as your rare slogan of "Qing army side".

"In addition, even if I really use swords against those gentry, it means that at that time, I have already ascended the throne."

"After ascending to the throne, I will still be afraid of those heroes who will fall from the wind?!!!"

Zhu Di smiled coldly.

Then he looked at Huang Fei and said, "What's more, wasn't there still General Huang Fei and many generals who were willing to support me at that time?"

"Can't you handle these wall grass ??!?"

The yellow brain melon seeds mentioned in this are buzzing.

He didn't expect Zhu Di to look down on those gentry so much.

It's going to be messy.

"Boss Wang, if you say these things today, if you spread them."

"I'm afraid that Zhejiang and Fujian will immediately return to Nanjing, and even Liangguang may no longer listen to your orders."

"Aren't you afraid?"

At this time, Huang Fei suddenly raised his head and asked deeply.

With his words, the room suddenly seemed quiet.

And Huang Fei said as he stretched out his hand to his waist.

As if he was drawing a knife, he would rush up and cut Zhu Di the next moment!

The atmosphere is also starting to become a little more solemn.

In the face of Huang Fei's seemingly non-existent threat.

Zhu Di laughed violently.

"Mr. Huang, I'm not a fool."

"Since you can ask this, I believe you already have the answer in your heart."

"And when I said I was going to do something to the gentry, you were only a little shocked, not angry."

"This shows that you are just a little surprised by my choice, but it does not mean that you disapprove."

"Am I right?!"
