Chapter 579 Li Chaosheng: No matter how good he is, Li Zicheng is just a part-time worker

Princess Zhu Yuxi of Changping is the princess who cut off an arm before Chongzhen hanged herself, that is, the nine-difficult master in the story of the deer and cauldron.

But she is still the eldest princess, the eldest daughter of Chongzhen, and the favorite daughter of Chongzhen.

Zhou Yanru and Cao Huachun's ideas flew into the air, they wanted to marry the eldest princess to Li Chaosheng so as to slow down Li Chaosheng's heart, make Li Chaosheng even more reluctant to deal with Daming, and they might even plan to let Auntie Zhu listen to the wind , Let Li Chaosheng help Daming and Chongzhen regardless of his own personal gains and losses.

It has to be said that the wishful thinking of these two old foxes is tinkling, but none of them want to make such a plan to Chongzhen, for the same reason, they dare not.

Although Chongzhen is not capable, he still has a temper. Now that he wants to sacrifice his daughter in exchange for his own country, this has violated the ancestral precepts of the old Zhu family.

Don't cede land, don't pay compensation, don't make peace, the king will die and the country will die, and the emperor will guard the gate of the country!
This is not empty talk, nor is it casually irresponsible, it is something engraved in the bones of Lao Zhu's family, and since the Ming Dynasty, no emperor has violated this ancestral precept.

In fact, this is not the main contradiction. After all, Li Chaosheng is not considered a foreigner no matter what. In a sense, he is still a courtier of Chongzhen, so Chongzhen's marriage of his daughter to Li Chaosheng is not considered a marriage.

But there is a question, what is Auntie Zhu in the past? Li Chaosheng already has two wives. Could it be that you let the majestic Princess Daming to be Li Chaosheng's child?
Aren't you slapping the Ming Empire hard?How could Chongzhen agree?

Therefore, although both of them saw this move, neither Zhou Yanru nor Cao Huachun chose to say it in front of Chongzhen.

Li Zicheng was praised to the sky overnight. Maybe these people were suppressed too hard by the court, or they hoped in their hearts that there would be an existence that would make them unpayable, so when Li Zicheng shouted slogans, Don't care if it's cheating or cheating, anyway, there are so many followers.

Gu Zi asked tentatively, Li Chaosheng laughed and said: "Whoever refuses, I can only deal with him first, and then return the land to Lantian, and we can just sell the salt."

"Move Yang Sichang?"

Li Chaosheng heard the words and said: "It seems that Zhang Xianzhong's footsteps in Sichuan can't be stopped, so it's good, Mrs. Qin in Sichuan is not easy to deal with, and she is very hostile to us in Lantian. We went to Sichuan to do business a few days ago. All the caravans were confiscated by Mrs. Qin, a hundred carts of salt were confiscated, and the businessman let us back. I asked someone to negotiate with her, but she closed the door and disappeared, which is really annoying."

"Uh, it seems that I read this information to the county magistrate at the beginning. Look at the salt, isn't it because the common people can't afford salt, so they can only buy a piece of salt and hang it with a rope, and look at it when they eat, and eat a mouthful of rice? "

Li Chaosheng said aggrievedly, after hearing this, Gu Zi said: "Didn't the county lord go to Sichuan to monopolize the salt industry? When discussing the plan to control Shu with salt, I seemed to be listening to the county lord. "

I have to admit that Li Zicheng really understood the civil uprising. Even Li Chaosheng had to admire him. Li Zicheng has his own charisma.

In the past, Li Zicheng, including Gao Yingxiang and others, existed like this. They did not have their own uprising program, and what they did seemed very aimless, and the uprising was very immature, so it was only natural that they were wiped out.

What will happen to Ming Dynasty in the future has become confusing, and they don't know what will happen to Ming Dynasty in the future, but they can only be pawns in this big game of chess in the world, and there are only a few real chess players.

Li Chaosheng was very happy to read the contents of the military newspaper. What he likes most is that the people under his rule can live a good life. The better the life of the people, the better his governance is. the highest praise.

But when Li Chaosheng thought that Li Zicheng used the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Kaifeng Mansion as a springboard to accomplish all this, Li Chaosheng didn't appreciate Li Zicheng.

But the two of them tested each other, and they both knew that everyone was a thousand-year-old fox, so why did they play Liao Zhai?

His success will not bring happiness to the people of Ming Dynasty, but endless suffering. A team that does not do production but only knows how to rob has no future, because when they find that there is no one to rob, they will just starve to death .

"Li Zicheng has really grown up this time. By the way, who gave Li Zicheng the slogan of equalizing land and exempting taxes?"

Li Chaosheng frowned slightly, and followed closely: "I don't like Yang Sichang, but he has some skills. He can protect Zhang Xianzhong from becoming a big man in Hubei. If he is transferred to Henan? Then Zhang Xianzhong in Hubei doesn't care?"

Moreover, this time Li Zicheng's uprising was completely incomprehensible to the past. This time Li Zicheng actually came up with his own uprising program-equalizing land and exempting taxes.

Li Chaosheng nodded slightly and said: "It seems that this poor scholar still has a lot of bad habits. This slogan can be regarded as raising the banner of Li Zicheng."

"Well, this time Li Zicheng made a fuss. He flooded the city of Kaifeng. The number of shotguns changed overnight. The number quickly expanded from a few thousand to tens of thousands. Now Henan is full of rebels."

For this, Li Chaosheng had to admire Li Zicheng. In less than two years, he changed from a loser who hid in the valley and dared not show his face to a hero with hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

After hearing this, the two looked at each other, followed by silence, made a gesture of please, and left.

Li Chaosheng knows that the earth will not revolve around a person forever, and he also knows that a person will not always recite words. Li Zicheng is a capable person, although his abilities are stinky shit in Li Chaosheng's eyes, and he doesn't know how to govern the country. It will only intensify the conflict, and hundreds of thousands of rebels will swarm after him as soon as he climbs up. To be honest, Li Chaosheng is very envious of the moment when Li Zicheng pretends to be aggressive.

Gu Zi said: "Now the Ming Dynasty is riddled with holes, and our emperor has no one to use. Hong Chengchou manages Liaodong, Sun Chuanting guards the Xuanfu, and Zuo Liangyu will guard you outside Tongguan, so Choose the lesser of the two evils, release Zhang Xianzhong, transfer Yang Sichang to quell the rebellion is still very correct."

Thinking of this, Li Chaosheng patted the table angrily and said: "I kindly wanted to let the common people in Sichuan eat cheap salt, so they can rest assured about the salt, but that old woman...cough cough...that old woman not only confiscated my salt, And asked the caravan to bring me a note: Shu people don't eat Qin salt!"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng put down the military newspaper in his hand, looked at Guzi and said, "Has Li Zicheng made a move?"

"The county respects the Henan Emergency Report, and there is also a report from the capital."

With no goals and no hope of survival, the common people were forced to take up arms and join Li Zicheng's peasant armed forces. Li Zicheng took advantage of this civil uprising to make a magnificent turn, from a stinky beggar to a big man with tens of thousands of people The boss, from a bedbug hiding in the ravine, became the hero of Daming's confidant, King Li Chuang, and then became the most dazzling boy in Daming.

"Yes, look how miserable the people in Sichuan are. They don't rely on the sea, there is no sea salt, and the rock salt collected from the mountains is not enough for the people in Sichuan to eat. As a result, the people have no salt to eat. The white-haired girl knows that not eating salt is harmful. No matter how old you are, that’s why your county lord sent the caravan to sell salt in Sichuan with a heart of helping the world and saving people.”

Li Chaosheng frowned slightly, Gu Zi nodded and said, "It's this person."

Zhou Yanru heard the words and said: "It may be the time of life and death."

"What if you don't let me?"

Li Chaosheng became very angry when he thought about it, he looked at Guzi and said, "Isn't it annoying, I want everyone in Sichuan to eat salt, it's still wrong."

Li Chaosheng opened up the information and looked at it, Gu Zi said: "Our Majesty was in a hurry, and it is said that he fainted from anger, and then called the Ministry of War, the Cabinet, and Cao Huachun and other confidants to discuss the matter in the Shangshufang, and finally decided to transfer Yang Sichang who is far away in Hubei. Go to Henan to suppress the rebellion."

Li Chaosheng waved his hands when he heard this and said: "Superficial, I don't care if I sit and reap the profits of the fishermen. What I care about is to sell the salt to Sichuan to benefit the people in Sichuan. As for the profits of the fishermen, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, just let me sell salt."

Gu Zi chuckled: "Xianzun, when did you lose face, you still use me to save face for you, but that Mrs. Qin in the middle of Sichuan is not very willing to give face to the county lord."

Li Chaosheng looked at the contents of the intelligence report: Li Zicheng has been planning this matter since the beginning of the year. They secretly raised the embankment to block the water of the Yellow River. Until this time in May, they dug the embankment of the Yellow River, which destroyed Kaifeng. It also destroyed the farmlands and houses of the people in countless prefectures and counties around Kaifeng, and destroyed the hope of the people's life.

And with food, they can mobilize extra labor, build reservoirs and other irrigation systems, and do a good job in the infrastructure construction of the entire region. As long as the infrastructure construction is completed, Gansu will turn from a former barren land to another rich land in Lantian. place.

Guzi looked at Li Chaosheng and said, Li Chaosheng heard the words and said: "Can you blame me? It's not because the salt sold by the Baigan Army is too expensive, so that the people in Sichuan, and many people are still eating Wangwang salt. I can't bear it." , That's why I let the caravan go to the middle of Sichuan to sell some cheap salt and millet to the common people, the county lord is kind of me, people don't eat salt, but it's impossible."

The nature of this has changed all of a sudden. The rogues who have an uprising program are the rebels, but the rogues who do not have an uprising program are pure rogues, that is, large-scale bandit rebellion.

Li Zicheng was sought after by millions of people in such an instant, and became the real Chuang Wang.

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi who was at the side, and Gu Zi said, "The initial idea was Li Zicheng's, and later Li Zicheng's military adviser Li Xin helped to perfect it."

Li Chaosheng opened the second report from the capital as he spoke: "How does His Majesty the Emperor deal with this unexpected situation?"

The content of the military newspaper is that Li Dingguo drove the big thief Yang Liu, and the whole journey is like a broken bamboo. Now it is approaching Ningxia, Gansu, and the chiefs and chiefs of various places in Gansu have also sent information, saying that the situation in Gansu this year is very good, and the summer grain has been planted. Yes, as long as the summer grain is harvested, the grain in Gansu does not need to be transported all the way from Lantian.

In Lantian, at the county office, Li Chaosheng is reading a military newspaper from Gansu.

Guzi heard the words and said: "The county lord is the same, knowing that there is a shortage of salt in Sichuan, he sells salt without any cover. What's even more disgusting is that the county lord's salt is cheaper than the local salt in the middle of Sichuan. You know that the salt in the middle of Sichuan is not good. Mrs. Qin’s important military resources of the Baigan Army, you have robbed the salt business, and you let the Baigan Army go to the northwest wind.”

"The county magistrate is right, Qin Liangyu is right to control the salt bar in order to ensure the salary of the white pole army, the wrong thing is that this world can do it, but this time it's okay, Yang Sichang is transferred from Hubei, Zhang Xianzhong will definitely gather troops to attack Shuzhong, Zhang Xianzhong is really looking forward to Shuzhong, when the time comes, Zhang Xianzhong will fight Qin Liangyu, and the county lord will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"By the way, Guzi, do you know what Wangwangyan is?"

Li Chaosheng acted like I was serving the country and the people, you shouldn't judge a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart like this.

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng took the report and read it.

So both of them were silent, looking at the moon outside the palace, Cao Huachun said: "Duke Zhou, you and I have reached a preliminary consensus. As for how to operate this matter, we will talk about it later. When Grandpa is happy."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng's face darkened immediately, he looked at Guzi and said, "Did you owe it to me to save face for your county magistrate?"

But now a plausible slogan of equalizing land and exempting taxes directly revitalized Li Zicheng, a rogue, giving their team a soul, and making their team more cohesive and purposeful.

"Li Xin? That concubine of the red lady?"

Although this slogan is a joke in the eyes of discerning people, even the land is exempt from Fu?Rulers don't collect taxes?is it possible?The ruler maintains the rule and does not collect taxes to eat, drink, and use what to maintain his rule, so the land is exempted from taxes, isn't this just cheating fools?
But there are too many idiots in this world, unbelievably many, in Henan alone, there are hundreds of thousands, and millions of people believe this ghost talk, shouting: Eat his mother, drink his mother, Chuang Wang The slogan of not paying for food came, and waving hoes and sickles joined the rebel army.

"Does the county honor us to send an army to protect us selling salt?"

Li Chaosheng laughed when he heard this: "Of course, he was robbed last time. When Zhang Xianzhong and Qin Liangyu are almost done fighting, our salt guards will enter Shuzhong. If you are willing to buy salt at that time, you will be fine." Buy it well, don’t you want me to put a musket to their foreheads and make them buy it?”

Li Chaosheng squinted his eyes and said, after hearing this, Guzi gave a thumbs up and said: "Xianzun, you can, you can really put a gun to their foreheads and let them buy it!"

Li Chaosheng laughed and said, "That's all for later. What's more important now is whether Yang Sichang can withstand Li Zicheng's attack on Henan. If he can't, this matter will be interesting."
