In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, this year the Apocalypse fell into the water and died.

He is the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty to fall into the water and die!

The first Yellow Emperor to fall into the water and die was Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao!

Emperor Zhengde was an extremely healthy emperor, who once personally commanded a large army and defeated the invasion of the little Mongolian prince, and later when he was still alive, the little prince never invaded the Ming Dynasty again.

But such an emperor fell into the water and died!

In addition to the abnormal deaths of the two of them, Emperor Taichang, the father of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, died less than a month after ascending the throne, and the cause of death was drug abuse.

The same emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing, ten years after ascending to the throne, was once murdered by the palace maid and almost strangled to death by the palace maid.

As for why the little palace maid had such courage and came to Emperor Jiajing's side smoothly and almost strangled him to death, there is no need to delve into it.

Don't ask, it's a coincidence to ask!

Anyway, in the mouth of civil officials, this must be your Emperor Jiajing's immorality!

As for why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty always has accidents, this must be a problem with the feng shui of your old Zhu family, and it has nothing to do with civil officials, businessmen, and other people.

Whoever dares to speculate is just talking nonsense!

If there is no evidence, isn't it nonsense?

In short, after Wang Dou thought that he had crossed over, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had already fallen into the water, and he was very sick, so serious that so many imperial doctors could not cure him.

It didn't take long for him to fall ill and die, and before he died, he passed on to his younger brother, who later became Emperor Chongzhen.

When the news spread from the capital to Shunxiang Fort, Baoan Prefecture, Xuanfu Town, it was already a cold winter.

At this moment, Wang Dou had obtained his first pot of gold, and before January, he successfully used the terrain, longbow, and long knife to ambush a group of Mongol Tartars who had come to fight the Grass Valley.

These Mongol Tatars are not the Eight Banners of the Later Jin, nor are they the elite in armor, to put it bluntly, they are just robbers who can ride horses, just stronger herdsmen, that's all.

There was no discipline and no organization, Wang Dou was not afraid of him at all, and set up an ambush in advance, so he created the feat of killing a team of Mongolian herdsmen in three days with one person, one bow and one gun!

The so-called first team, in fact, is an exaggeration, a total of eleven people, at first the eleven people were separated, before they gathered, Wang Dou killed two with his own modified flintlock pistol.

With a trap and a longbow, four were killed.

There were also five people who were also killed by him one by one.

In Wang Dou's view, his victory is nothing more than a calculation or an unintentional calculation!

But in the eyes of the nearby people, Wang Dou at this moment is a big hero, a big hero who saved their lives and property at a critical moment!

When Wang Dou handed over the heads of the eleven Tartars, he became a hundred households. Even due to the characteristics of Xuanfu Town, he, a hundred households, is actually a small warlord who manages a radius of dozens of square kilometers.

Xuanfu Town is a frontier land, and the opposite steppe is Mongolia, so the people here are scarce, and the place where Wang Dou is located is theoretically a military household.

Tens of square kilometers of territory, more than 300 households and more than 2,000 military households, or former military households, some shabby weapons, old armor, seven or eight blacksmiths, a dozen carpenters, and many tailors and widows who are not very good-looking.

Riding a captured Mongol bantam, Wang Dou was dressed in cotton clothes, carrying a longbow and a flintlock pistol of his own making, patrolling his territory.

The territory is not large, only a few dozen square kilometers!

The population is small, just over 2,000, and many are widows, and there are very few men in the prime of life.

The wealth is very small, there is no mine underground, and the salary of the soldiers of the hundred households is only fifty percent, which is still for the sake of Wang Dou is killing Tartar heroes, otherwise it is only thirty percent.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Wang Dou is still braving the wind and snow, checking the lives of the people one by one.

On this day, Wang Dou saw the simple hearts of the people from the eyes of the people!

On this day, Wang Dou's first ambition appeared in his heart - I want to protect these simple people!

The big things in the world must be done in detail!

Difficult things in the world must be done easily!

Wang Dou also started from a small thing, of course, it is indispensable to open the hanging, use advanced knowledge, improve the living standards of the people, ensure that the hundred soldiers under his command are well fed and drunk, and it is also essential to practice their skills.

The opportunity soon came, the autumn of the first year of Chongzhen.

This year, Wang Dou killed more than 300 Mongolian Tartars, although the gold content of these Tartars is not as good as that of the Houjin Eight Banner Soldiers, but in today's Ming Dynasty, it is also a lot of military achievements.

This time, Wang Dou took the initiative to let more than 100 heads out, he was so knowledgeable, so he was quickly promoted, and this time he became a thousand households.

Under the rule of the government, it has expanded from dozens of square kilometers to hundreds of square kilometers, and the number of people has also increased to more than 30,000 people.

When Chongzhen was in the fifth year, Wang Dou took the initiative to go out of the plug and went to the grassland to fight the grass valley!

As early as last year, Xuanfu Town had become a forbidden place in the eyes of the grassland herdsmen, so Wang Dou had very little harvest last year, and he was very dissatisfied, although other officials were already very satisfied.

This year, Wang Dou fought on the grassland, won three battles and three victories, broke six medium-sized tribes in a row, and when he returned, there were 200,000 cattle and sheep alone.

This year, he personally took a thousand Mongolian bantam horses and 3,000 Tartars to Beijing to offer prisoners!

This year, Chongzhen personally summoned him on the platform regardless of etiquette, and the two could be said to have seen each other late, and they talked for three days and three nights, and then Chongzhen promised the princess to be his wife, calling her the Ming Qi Shaobao is also.

This year, Wang Dou, who was twenty-two years old, became the chief military officer of the Ming Dynasty!

The chief military officer, also known as the chief soldier, is theoretically the highest rank of military general. It is not that there are no higher ranks, but most of them are just fictitious positions.

Twenty-two-year-old chief officer!

Emperor Chongzhen's favorite general, the Ming Qi Shaobao in his mouth!

Emperor Chongzhen's future son-in-law!

There are 8,000 families under his command, all of whom are brave warriors!

This year, Wang Dou has the hope of the world!

The generals believed that Wang Dou was a rare god of war in a century, and the civil officials believed that Wang Dou was the key figure in the revival of the empire and the defeat of the Houjin.

Even the Emei faction, the Qingcheng faction and other people who refine qi and cultivate immortals believe that this Wang Dou may be the key figure in the change of the Mandate of Heaven.

Even many high-ranking cultivators of the cult sect are paying attention to Wang Dou, why should they pay attention to Wang Dou?

Because the righteous path is the same as the Ming and Qing Xing, they are both days!

If Wang Dou can change the number of days of Ming and Qing Xing, does it mean that the number of days of righteous Daxing can also be changed?

Therefore, under the condition that the high-level cultivators of the two realms of good and evil maintained a tacit understanding, the cultivation world did not cause the slightest interference to Wang Dou.

Mortals to mortals, monks to monks!

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou led 8,000 family members and 30,000 elite soldiers of Xuanfu who had personally trained them, and met with the two blue flags of Houjin, won the battle, killed the flag owner, and the blue flag was disabled under the first battle.

Houjin is less than 10,000, and it has become a joke that it is invincible.

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou led 9,000 families to fight with him and won!

Chongzhen eight years......

Until the tenth year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou led 15,000 Jiading and 50,000 elite soldiers of Xuanfu to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Eight Banners led by Huang Taiji near the Great Wall.

The decisive battle lasted for three months, and in the end, the invincible Eight Banners were disabled, and 20,000 died directly, and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners of Mongolia returned to the pre-liberation period.

But Wang Dou's losses were not filial, only 9,000 of the 15,000 families remained, 30,000 of the 50,000 Xuanfu elite soldiers remained, the captures were countless, and the number of cattle and sheep exceeded one million.

In the camp, Wang Dou received a reward from Emperor Chongzhen, promoted from Bo to Hou, Xiahou, hereditary replacement, and married the princess as his wife, and married the princess as his wife, and immediately married after returning to Beijing.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Dou sat above with an expressionless face, and the military general Wenchen in the tent began to quarrel.

"Dashuai, you can't go back, once you go back, the best fate for Dashuai is to be relieved of military power and placed under house arrest in the capital for the rest of his life!"

"Dashuai, you can't go back! The Mongolian Tatars have long been crippled by Dashuai, and Houjin is now also disabled, to put it mildly, the court can't use Dashuai anymore!"

"Yes, even if Houjin does not die after this battle, he will not have the strength to continue the war with the imperial court in twenty years, and after twenty years, how can Houjin still guarantee his fighting spirit now? Without the threat, who knows what the imperial court will do?"

"The birds are good and the bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooking, handsome, look at what happened to Han Xin, who won the world for Liu Bang! Are you looking at how Li Jing lived in his old age? When he sleeps, he doesn't even dare to close the door, this is because Li Shimin wants a good reputation, otherwise he ......."

"That's enough, you rough billets, how can you think so much about the imperial court? Slander Your Majesty so much? I think that since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has issued several edicts to dismiss the palace people and internal supervisors, and has continued to issue internal funds, but now the internal funds are empty. All along, has Your Majesty ever been sorry for the handsome?"

"If Da Shuai doesn't return today, what will the people of the world think of Da Shuai? For a long time, people all over the world have thought that Da Shuai is a loyal minister of Da Ming, and Da Shuai has always regarded himself as a loyal minister, do you want to rebel now?"

Hearing the word rebellion, even the generals with a short temper quieted down at this moment.

To tell the truth, the generals didn't let Wang Dou go back, mainly to protect themselves, they were afraid of being liquidated, and this was also related to Wang Dou!

Wang Dou has always emphasized that military generals must be literate, and more than 100 households must be literate, and when the generals began to read and began to read, everything changed!

When they saw Han Xin's fate, when they saw Yue Fei's nonsense, when they saw Yu Jie, who was killed alive by the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers, and looked at the civil officials of this dynasty, it was really impossible not to think about it!

"Dashuai, of course you don't dare to rebel. We are also loyal to the Ming Dynasty and loyal to Your Majesty, but who dares to guarantee that after the commander returns, he will not be liquidated?"

"Look at Qi Shaobao, back then, the entire south was attacked and harassed by the Japanese invaders, and there were even dozens of five people who stormed the ridiculous thing of Nanjing!"

"Yes, at that time, the entire southern armament was relaxed, but fortunately, Qi Shaobao was born, otherwise it would be difficult to say what happened to the south. After pacifying the Japanese Kou, Qi Shaobao went to Jizhen, and when the Mongols heard his name, they did not join the Kou. But what is the result? Qi Shaobao was not knighted when he died, not even an earl!"

"Yes, I've heard that when Qi Shaobao wrote to that Wang Taiyue before his death, he called himself a lackey, and even a martial artist like him was just a lackey!

"Before he died, he was tossed by civil officials, and he lost his official position, and after he died, the court gave away a few official positions posthumously, and everyone died, what's the use?"

"Yes, except for Qi Shaobao, will Li Chengliang have a good end? Isn't he made enough contributions to the imperial court? But even he was dealt with by the imperial court in his later years!"

"Yes, Dashuai, we don't want to rebel, and we don't dare to rebel, but Dashuai also wants to think about our generals, Dashuai goes, maybe the Son of Heaven will feel the sincerity of Dashuai, or ensure the safety of Dashuai, but what about us? Who will guarantee our safety?"

"Shut up, are you going to trap the marshal for injustice?"

The civil servants spoke again.

The generals continued to quarrel, and there was even a tendency to fight.

Touch!

Wang Dou slapped the table hard, and the military generals below immediately shut up!

In the huge tent, dozens of strong men were huddled together, but at this moment they didn't even make a sound, even the big bosses held their breath at the moment, pricked up their ears, and waited for Wang Dou's choice.

"That's enough, Your Majesty treats me sincerely, don't think about it. The army rested for seven days, then pulled out the camp and returned to Beijing!"

......

In the capital, in the residence of a certain civil official, a group of unsightly guys are also conspiring.

"I can't bear it anymore, Your Majesty actually wants to restore the old system of the previous dynasty, let that Wang Dou become a cabinet minister after he is relieved of military power, and continue a good story of being a general!"

"Hehe, in and out of the phase, I think Your Majesty has forgotten how the martial artists of the five generations played with the court and ignored the Son of Heaven!"

"Where does this put us civil servants?"

"Ridiculous! Anshi's rebellion is enough once, do you want a second time?"

"How did you get this important news?"

"This news comes from a letter, and I happen to have a friend in the palace. ”

"Feng Xiahou has already seen his great merits, if he wants to become a general and become a cabinet minister, don't even think about it!"

"Yes, this official has read the sages since he was a child, he became a talent at the age of twelve, a person at the age of sixteen, and a jinshi at the age of twenty-eight, which is already considered young. After studying the sage books for so many years, he was just a Hanlin attendant, and he stayed up for ten years before he was released as a governor, and now he is seven out of fifty, but he is still just a mere squire, but he can enter the cabinet as a martial artist?

The words of this squire aroused the approval of the civil officials present.

Why?

You are a martial artist alone, wouldn't it be good to be your martial artist?

Everyone's well water does not violate the river water, you actually want to enter the phase, this can't be bearable!

......

In the tent, Wang Dou was thinking, he was thinking about the future, and in his hand was Chongzhen's handwritten letter, which contained the arrangements for the coming year, which would gradually promote him and become the first assistant of the cabinet.

At that time, the two of them joined forces to reform the Ming Dynasty and make the Ming Dynasty prosperous again.

The letter is Chongzhen's handwritten letter, and the content in it is also full of sincerity.

At this critical moment to determine the future, Wang Dou thought a lot, but in the end he decided to believe Chongzhen.

This is also related to the situation at the moment, today's Ming Dynasty has not rotten to the point of Chongzhen for 16 years in history, Houjin was disabled, and the peasant army was suppressed and could not get up at all, and stopped at the point of being a rogue.

People in the world are at ease, and people's hearts are clear.

There are no basic conditions for rebellion, and Wang Dou himself is a kind person, although the Mongolian herdsmen and Houjin Baqi will disdain it when they hear this, but Wang Dou has always felt that he is quite kind.

"I'm just a little lucky and a little person who is a little persistent, and now I can change Daming with my own hands and transform Daming into what I want, what else do I insist on?"
