Daming pirates

In the later generations of another time and space in history, a certain dynasty gave Li Zicheng some positive propaganda due to ideological reasons, but to the people living in this era, he was a thief and a huge bandit.

Although this era has positive influences, it is more about killing and destruction.

Once upon a time, when Yu Xiaotian read a book about Li Zicheng when he was a child, he admired and even respected Li Zicheng. However, as he grew older and gained more knowledge, he gradually began to have feelings for Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others.

Got a new understanding.

Especially when he came to this era and understood the background of this era, he gained a new understanding of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and many leaders of the refugee army.

Although many of these people came from poor backgrounds (not counting Zhang Xianzhong), when they embarked on the path of rebellion, because of their different perspectives and narrow vision, they were still able to think about the people at first, and gradually

They began to embark on a cruel and unkind path. Their existence has completely had a negative impact on the society of this era, and they gradually lost their justice.

They returned to the thinking mode of feudal monarchs more for their own glory, wealth, or power status. They no longer considered the so-called nation. In history, Li Zicheng even completely abandoned it after he invaded the capital.

His original intention to rebel in the first place.

Historically, Zhang Xianzhong later entered Sichuan and established a Daxi Kingdom, and even became a murderer. It can be said that he was extremely cruel, and he could even be said to be completely on the opposite side of mankind, and each of them committed heinous crimes.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has fallen into his hands, Yu Xiaotian, and his ideal is about to be realized, then for the likes of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they have also completed their historical mission and should be swept into the garbage dump.

It can be said that Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others are indispensable for Yu Xiaotian's current step. If they had not caused chaos to the Ming Dynasty all the time over the years, then Yu Xiaotian would not have had the chance to live in peace and stability.

Stable in a corner of Fujian, he quietly expanded his strength until he became more and more powerful. He sent his troops north to suddenly conquer the capital of the Ming Dynasty and successfully stole the country of the Ming Dynasty.

He is very clear about his current identity. In the eyes of many sensible people in the Ming Dynasty, he should be an absolutely negative and rebellious character. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he was disloyal to the Ming Dynasty. He supported the army and stole the country of the Ming Dynasty, and held the emperor's order under his command.

The princes are all replicas of Cao Cao and Cao Wende, while Chongzhen is the Xian Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

But so what? Yu Xiaotian didn't care about this reputation. What he wanted was the result. He suddenly went north to control the capital, put Chongzhen under house arrest, and grabbed the head of Ming Dynasty with lightning speed, which caused the whole Ming Dynasty to lose immediately.

The local government and officials were leaderless and did not know what actions to take to face this situation.

In doing so, he conquered the world, saved too much trouble, and reduced too many killings. If he hadn't used this strange move, although he was confident that he could rely on his force to conquer the world step by step.

Conquer the world and seize power, but this process will be a long one.

Although the Ming Dynasty had a corrupt officialdom and extremely poor efficiency, and the court officials were incompetent, after all, the centipede insect was dead but not dead. With the boss Chongzhen in charge, the Ming Dynasty still had a strong counterattack force. Even if he conquered the world by then,

I'm afraid that half of this world will be destroyed, and I don't know how many people of the Ming Dynasty will die in the war.

The reconstruction of a country will consume too much time and money, which is not in line with his demands. What he wants is for China to restore calm as soon as possible, so that he can have the strength to set his sights on the sea and beyond.

Those untapped lands, instead of wasting his life on rebuilding this country and maintaining the stability of this country.

A person can only live for a few decades. He has been in this era for more than ten years now. God does not give him much time left. If he misses it, then for the Chinese people, he will miss it.

In this era, with the Chinese people's inertial thinking and cultural accumulation, the Chinese are not good at expansion. Once he is gone, everything may come to a standstill, and the Chinese may lose this rare opportunity forever.

This is the reason why he braved the disapproval of the world and went north to control the imperial court. He even temporarily refused to ascend the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He enshrined Chongzhen and continued to retain the shell of the Ming Dynasty. As for whether he had merit or demerit, he would let it be left to him a hundred years later.

It will be up to future generations to comment.

The defeat of Li Zicheng represented the basic end of the era of the refugee army. The only remaining refugee armies active in the Yinghuo Mountain area, such as Ma Shouying, Ge Liyan He Yilong, etc., fell instantly after losing all their colleagues.

In the meantime, they only need to gather elite troops from Huguang, Henan, Nanzhili, Shandong and other places, completely surround the Yinghuo Mountain area, and give them a strong wall to clear the country, then they will not be able to continue to hold on.

Therefore, the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty has basically come to a relatively perfect end. Although there are still small groups of rioters in many places who have not yet finally made peace, these are just small fights and are not enough to cause any big troubles.

The moth.

After Yu Xiaotian took control of the government, the entire Sea Wolf Group became completely busy. The navy and merchant fleet all took action, and a steady stream of large amounts of food that Xiaotian had spared no effort to reserve in the past few years was continuously supplied.

began to be transported north.

It can be said that Yu Xiaozhen had the foresight to reserve so much food in advance. Otherwise, even if he had taken control of the government, if he wanted to quell the chaos in the north, without food to lay the foundation, it would be impossible for a clever woman to cook without rice.

The reason why Chongzhen has been unable to defeat the refugee army for so many years is not that the official army cannot really defeat the refugee army. There are many fierce generals and capable officials like Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting among the official army. However, a fundamental problem is still lacking.

grain.

In history, both Yang He and Xiong Wencan had surrendered many refugee armies, but it didn't take long for the refugee armies to surrender and then rebel again, causing both Yang He and Xiong Wencan to lose their heads in history.

In fact, the most critical problem is that the court cannot come up with money and food to settle the surrendered refugee troops. Even if they can barely raise some, once they are all eaten up, the surrendered refugee troops will have nothing to eat, so they can only choose to continue to cause chaos.

Go down.

But Yu Xiaotian was different from Chongzhen. He saw these problems clearly in advance, made adequate preparations, and took several big measures at the same time. First, he severely punished profiteers who hoarded goods and drove up food prices, and stabilized the food supply in the north.

price;

The second is to vigorously promote the New Deal to reduce the burden on the people, canceling the continuous increase in the Ming Dynasty in the past, so that the people can return to farming on their land without having to worry about making ends meet.

Third, he reorganized the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Jinyiwei, went all out to clean up the officialdom, vigorously arrested and killed a large number of corrupt officials, fundamentally rectified the officialdom, and used forceful means to stop the corruption and despicability in the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

In a short period of time, the officialdom began to show a clear and clear scene, and the common people could basically avoid a lot of unnecessary oppression.

Through these methods, he dealt a ruthless blow to many profiteers, local evil gentry, local tyrants and powerful nobles, and withdrew a large amount of money and food from their hands, giving him the financial ability to invest in relieving the victims.

Go up.

After these measures were implemented, it can be said that they had an immediate effect and quickly won the hearts of the people. Many refugees who had lost hope and embarked on the road of rebellion saw hope and chose to return to their hometowns.

, to start cultivating the land again.

But these all require a process and time. The most important thing is that if you want these refugees to return to their land, you must first solve their food problem. Even if they don't have enough to eat, just being able to survive is enough.

However, years of war and natural disasters in the north have caused huge damage to the entire social structure and agricultural production. Large amounts of farmland have been abandoned. Even if the people are willing to go back to farming, they still have to eat before the new crop is harvested.

There is no solution.

Even if Yu Xiaotian resentfully snatched some food from some wealthy and unkind wealthy households by ransacking their homes, it would still be a drop in the bucket and far from enough to meet such a large demand.

This is also the reason why he has spared no effort to hoard food in Fujian, Taiwan, Shandong, Jeju Island and other places over the years, begging for food everywhere like a starving ghost, and then hoarding it like a mouse.

Now the preparations he had made in advance were finally put to use. Hundreds of large ships, loaded with various grains, were continuously transported to the north by sea. They were first unloaded in Shandong, and stabilized Shandong and the north for the first time.

The situation in Zhili.

Then after he took control of the Yangtze River coast, a large number of sea-going ships entered the Yangtze River, and a large number of ships were commandeered in the Yangtze River. The grain was transported along the Yangtze River waterway and upstream to the hinterland of the Central Plains. Soon it was available to southern Zhili, Huguang, Henan and other places.

A lot of food was added.

In this way, the hungry people were able to obtain the most basic food supply in a short period of time. Although Yu Xiaotian could not make all the hungry people well fed, he could only do so.

Let some people get a very small amount of food every day, but this still gives the hungry people a rare chance to breathe. If they can find ways to get some wild vegetables and other things to supplement, at least they will not have a big problem in surviving.
