Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Zuo Liangyu himself is suspicious of a dark ghost, because he has lost two battles, which is really ugly compared to other people's big victories, and he suspects that Yang Sichang and the emperor will take this opportunity to deal with him... After all, Zuo Zhen's strength is greatly weakened now, congratulations Renlong and Zhang Shouren and other ministries, plus the trilateral governor Zheng Chongjian's superintendent has strong soldiers, Xunyang and Huguang have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the bandits have just been defeated. If the court is willing, it will be free to deal with him!

Given the numerous crimes Zuo Bu has committed over the years, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zuo Liangyu's entire family was executed!

"Hmm...huh? It's really...strange, strange...haha, Zhang Zhenglu is really broad-minded, um, he invited me to the banquet, I have no choice but to go, um, I will take good care of my health these days, the year Then I personally brought someone to congratulate him, haha, that’s how it’s done!”

Zuo Menggeng listened surprisingly outside the room, he knew his own father's temper very well, trying to ask Zuo Liangyu to change his attitude in a short period of time was simply a dream, something he would never dare to think about.

"What kind of method is used by this levy is simply amazing..."[

With doubts, Zuo Menggeng hurried into the room again.

When Zuo Liangyu saw him, he scolded at the beginning: "I've been sick for the past few days, and everyone has been drilling in the sand, and you don't care? Immediately summon the general officers and tell them that I am not dead, and this illness is not serious." What is it, tell them to be careful, if I don't hear the sound of soldiers and horses being drilled after half an hour, tell them to be careful!"

"Yes, my son will do it now."

Zuo Menggeng was still at a loss, but Lao Tzu who was in a state of rage was something he didn't dare to offend, so he agreed in a hurry, and hurried out, ordering the generals of the Chinese army, a large number of deputy commanders, generals, and guerrillas to arrive, He couldn't help conveying Zuo Liangyu's words, the generals didn't dare to neglect, they hurriedly changed their robes and went to the training ground to train the new army in person.

Every time it was defeated, the Zuo army did not hurt its foundation. As long as the veterans and generals were there, it would be easy to catch thousands of strong men to enrich the troops. The new army can only wear ordinary jackets, with a rough iron spear in their hands, or simply hold a sharpened wooden stick... It will take a few months, relying on the financial and material resources of Huguang and Xunyang to continuously replenish them , so that you can gradually recover your vitality.

But training is also a must. Recently, because of Zhang Shouren's decisive victory, the entire Zuoying camp has become slack... With Dengzhou Town, what else can they do?It's nothing more than picking up what's missing and making up for what's missing, and being a little buddy for others.

From being a decisive force in the Huguang area to being a helper, Zuo Ying couldn't raise his spirits. Now that Zuo Liangyu has issued a strict order, the generals know that there must be a change, so they are all full of energy, yelling and scolding Then, those listless new soldiers and old soldiers were all driven together for training.

After finishing this matter, Zuo Menggeng ran back to his father's room, and when he entered the door, his eyes widened.

Zuo Liangyu was leaning against the bed, drinking the medicinal soup one gulp at a time. Although she frowned greatly because of the bitterness of the medicine, she insisted on drinking the whole bowl of medicine.

Yesterday, Zuo Liangyu scolded while drinking, and finally poured half a bowl of medicine on the servant girl's face.

"It's amazing..."

Muttering this in his heart, Zuo Menggeng slipped to his father's room and took Zhang Shouren's letter to read.

It would be impossible for someone else to do such a thing. Seeing that it was his son, Zuo Liangyu gave him a sideways look, and let it go.

"No wonder, no wonder!"

After reading the letter, Zuo Menggeng suddenly realized: "Zhenglu is really magnanimous. Dengzhou Town will not move, and he will return to Shandong in two or three months. This is to leave the great contribution to Huguang Town!"

"Well, he eats meat, and our soup is not bad."

Zuo Liangyu actually felt a little rosy. He was most worried that Dengzhou Town would continue to suppress thieves next year and wipe out Luo Rucai and other troops. He would be liquidated without credit.

Now Zhang Shouren not only had no intention of dealing with him, but also offered to leave as soon as possible. During his stay in Huguang, Dengzhou Town also focused on prevention and no longer took the initiative to attack.

Xiying still has [-]% to [-]% strength, and Cao Ying still has [-]% strength. Although Zhang Xianzhong has not been captured, but if the heads of giant thieves such as Luo Rucai or Wang Guangenhuideng can be chopped off, it will be very difficult for Zuoying and Zuo Liangyu. Not a bad choice either. [

"Zhenglu is indeed a warrior, and he will not be completely led by the nose by a civil official like Yang Dushi. He has a bit of hometown fire towards other military towns, and he is very righteous."

Hearing his son's words, Zuo Liangyu agreed and said: "The bridal sedan chair carries people, as long as you understand this truth, Zuoying will be yours in the future, and fighting a war is a trivial matter. You have to really think about it carefully!"

……

……

Chongzhen 12th December 21st, morning.

At daybreak, vegetable farmers from the surrounding suburbs of the capital came from Fengtai area, as well as firewood sellers, sellers of various earthen goods, and traders from several nearby counties. The merchants and fellows who came from the water transportation route, as well as the scholars who went to Beijing to study and wait for the next imperial examination... This capital was an out-and-out political and even economic center at that time... After all, in In terms of business, Beijing's purchasing power is unmatched by any city, even Nanjing, Suzhou, and Songjiang, which were very prosperous at the time, were far behind.

In a city, there are hundreds of thousands of dignitaries and relatives, as well as a group of eunuchs and palace people who depend on the royal family for their livelihood, plus rich monks and Taoists Huang Guan, a large number of garrisons and a group of military attaches who command the army, plus Ordinary citizens, businessmen, and a large number of poor and refugees, the entire city has a population of more than 150 million in normal years!

At that time, this city was undoubtedly one of the most majestic, most prosperous and densely populated megacities on earth.Although it is not as good as Chang'an in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty in history, and there are already European cities catching up in this era, and soon even surpassing it in all aspects, but there is no doubt that this city is still the most magnificent city in this era One of the most glorious cities!

In the early morning, a large number of residents from outside the city began to pour into the city, and many people in the city came out from the gates of the cities. You have to enter Chongwenmen from Dongbianmen.

This summer, the emperor announced the imposition of additional tariffs. The eight customs in the world, including Chongwenmen, have increased the amount of tax for merchants. After several additional levies, the amount is still very low. The entire amount, the commercial tax for the eight checkpoints is only about 20 taels.

For this number, one customs duty in the Qing Dynasty completely destroyed it.

But at that time, the writings of scholar-bureaucrats recorded the emperor's heavy conquest and brutality, saying that "the merchants and the people are getting tired", which is naturally speaking from the standpoint of the ass.

Now the bustling crowds are pouring in and out from the east side gate, more people enter the city, and fewer people leave the city. The guards are the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp. When you see that most of the people coming in are residents from outside the city and camel tourists from the north, There are few scholars, merchants and people from the south, and immediately some people started to comment: "I heard that there is no such thing, the water transportation is blocked."

"I heard that as soon as the news arrived in Beijing, the price of white rice went up from three yuan to one stone. My family regretted it to the death, saying that they didn't take advantage of the low price to buy more."

"The last time Zhang Xianzhong beat Zuo Liangyu, the price of goods in Beijing rose by [-]% and half, and if the Huguang area is not guaranteed, the rice will not be enough to eat... Huguang is cooked, and the world is full. These two lakes are now the place where rice is produced. This It's a good place, but it looks like it's going to be ruined."

"You said that our Beijing camp will be fine if we don't fight. What are these local military towns doing? If you fight, you will lose the battle. It will piss me off!"

As the saying goes, Jingyouzi, Weizuizi, the folk customs of Tianjin Wei at that time were still very simple, and they did not have the lip-smacking skills of later generations. This is said, the Huai army must be stationed, bringing different customs and culture to Tianjin Wei, and twisting the accent. After that.

But what Jing Youzi said, there is no pressure in this meeting. The guards who spoke are all yawning, and they look like they can’t stand still. It is hard work for them to get up in the morning to open the city gate. Yes, but it doesn't matter that these imperial guards are complaining.

Zhang Xianzhong in Huguang has recently defeated the officers and soldiers in a row. It is true what the forbidden soldiers said. Most of the grain in the south now depends on Huguang. Especially in the south of the Yangtze River, it is possible to buy grain from Huguang. Once the war expands, it is inevitable that prices will rise.

To them, fighting is a matter of another world. Only when the Eastern captives invaded the capital camp would they go up the city wall, but the price is related to everyone.

Huguang was defeated, and Li Qingshan in Shandong rebelled again and cut off the water transportation. This matter became a major event, and everyone from the capital to the common people discussed it.

Once the water transportation is cut off for more than several months, it is not uncommon for the price of grain in the capital to be more than ten times that of a few taels.By then, [-]% of the people will have to wait to starve to death. [

It's nothing to worry about when people are panicked.

The number of merchants and scholars from the south has decreased, which is already an obvious sign of the isolation of water transportation.

The words of the gate guards were soon thrown into the pool like a stone, causing ripples, and many people inside and outside the capital began to discuss and complain.

"What's the use of raising so many soldiers?"

"Finish the food and pay taxes to feed so much waste."

"The imperial court will kill a few more disobedient chief masters, and strictly enforce discipline. I'm afraid it will be better."

"It's hard, just look at the soldiers in front of us..."

Complaints are nothing but complaints, and people continue to move forward. Although bad news comes one after another, it is already too much to make people numb, but life still has to go on.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the supervisors and ministers will win, the governor of Huguang will win, and Dengzhou Town will win!"

Amidst the sound of horseshoes, a group of cavalry with red flags on their backs galloped towards the city gate like a lightning bolt!
