Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Chapter 182 Qin Army!

That night, Jiexiu City was extremely lively.

The people in the city have never felt the New Year so wonderful as they do tonight.

It is said that a rabbit does not eat grass near its burrow, but Fan Yongdou obviously does not have such awareness.

The stack of land deeds in Li Zicheng's hand can prove it all!

Tens of thousands of acres of land around Jiexiu were all occupied by the Fan family.

This also means that thousands of households will be left without land to farm.

Although there is a severe drought this year, even if you have land you may not be able to harvest crops, but as long as you have land in your hands, you will always have some hope in your heart, right?

The screams of dozens of members of Fan Yongdou's family lasted until dawn.

However, the benefits his family brought to Li Zicheng were more than what Tian Jianxiu had said before.

At this time, Li Zicheng was sitting in the study of the Fan family with a troubled look on his face, looking at the list in his hand with a frown.

Three million and five hundred thousand taels of silver in cash, that's easy to deal with. Apart from giving a few taels of silver to each of his 30,000 young and strong men as a reward, Chonglou can just take the rest away with his men.

Those land deeds were also very simple. All the land in Jiexiu could be distributed to the local people.

What worries Li Zicheng is the other things found in Fan’s house!

There were three rooms filled with precious treasures and jades, 20,000 shi of grain, thousands of shi of tea bricks, as well as a large number of furs, mountain delicacies, medicinal materials, etc. from outside the Great Wall.

These are the goods that the Fan family prepared for the new year. They are worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If they want to transport all of them away, they would probably need thousands of trucks!

"Brother Chonglou, it's up to you what to do with these things. If we take them all away, we'll probably be caught up by the soldiers who come rushing over after hearing the news within a hundred miles."

Li Zicheng sighed and pushed the list to Chonglou.

Gao Yigong and others were still busy outside seeing off the Fan family. At this time, there were only him and Chonglou in the room. Li Guo was guarding the door, so he didn't have to be too cautious about what he said.

Chonglou is also in trouble!

Although it was exciting to rebel under orders from the emperor, it also put them in shackles, which meant they could not engage in direct conflict with the officers and soldiers.

This is very troublesome!

He paced back and forth in the study, thinking of a solution.

Suddenly, his eye caught a booklet on the bookshelf. He unconsciously opened the booklet and found that it was a map of Shanxi.

When he saw the Daluo Palace in Mianshan, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Send him to the Daluo Palace!"

"It's only about 20 miles from here to the Daluo Palace. Send all the things to the mountain and let the Taoists take care of them!"

"Old Taoist priests are nosy. These 20,000 dan of grain are enough for them to do charity and give out porridge!"

"For the sake of these grains, they should help us."

"If they don't agree, then......"

Having said that, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Li Zicheng understood what he meant. It was simply that if the Taoists obeyed him, it would be fine. If not, he would kill them all and leave some brothers in the Taoist temple to impersonate them.

In this way, even if soldiers and officers come to investigate in the future, it will be difficult for them to find these things from the huge Mianshan Mountain.

As long as this period of time passes and the news is passed to the emperor, they naturally don't have to worry about the rest.

He nodded heavily and spat out the betel nut that had been chewed until it had no taste.

"Then do as you say!"

The transportation of goods and distribution of land were carried out at the same time. At the same time, Li Zicheng called in Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others.

"Brothers, these 30,000 brothers under our command have been completely transformed compared to before."

"Before, we have always called ourselves the righteous army, but Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong also called themselves the righteous army, so I think we should come up with a new name to distinguish ourselves from them."

"Think about it carefully and give me some advice!"

Li Guo heard this and replied, "Why not call it the Chuang Army? Isn't our slogan always calling for the Chuang King?"

Gao Yigong shook his head and retorted: "No, Chuang Army doesn't sound impressive enough. In my opinion, it's better to call it Shaanxi Army, which is a more impressive name!"

Yuan Zongdi shook his head: "The Shaanxi Army is not good either. It is too confined to one place. At least we have already left Shaanxi..."

Tian Jianxiu was listening nearby. A name came to his mind and he blurted it out immediately.

"Qin Jun!"

"This is much more impressive than the Shaanxi Army!"

"In ancient times, the King of Qin swept across the world and unified the country. Today, the Qin army pleads for the people and rebuilds a prosperous world!"

"From now on, my brothers will be called Qin Jun, and Master Li will be King Qin Chuang!"

"In this way, we can be completely distinguished from Gao Yingxiang and others!"

When Li Zicheng heard the word "Qin Army", he immediately straightened his chest.

"Okay! Let's do as Brother Tian says!"

"But apart from this, I am also going to divide my brothers into different groups."

"First, it is to clarify the authority, and secondly, ..."

"I'm going to have everyone split up and act as quickly as possible to turn Shaanxi upside down!"

Everyone became alert upon hearing this and pricked up their ears.

Previously, these 30,000 people had always been very casual, without any strict affiliation, and there were often problems in their mobilization.

This was also what Chonglou pointed out to Li Zicheng during the training in Luliang Mountains. Now that we have achieved a great harvest, it is time to make some changes.

Li Zicheng's division of power was also very straightforward. Now he had only six capable people under his command: Li Guo, Tian Jianxiu, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongde, Li Laiheng, and Chonglou. So he simply divided the Qin army into seven camps.

There were six of them, each commanding 4,000 troops, and their camp names were named after the last character of their names.

The remaining 6,000 people were under the command of Li Zicheng himself, and were called the Chuang Camp.

After doing all this, Li Zicheng took out the map of Shanxi that Chonglou had found earlier and drew a few circles on it.

"After daybreak, you will each lead your own team, starting from Jiexiu as the center and heading to the surrounding counties and cities."

"As per the old rules, all the seized property must not be used without permission and must be hidden away by me. If anyone dares to embezzle it, don't blame me for chopping off your claws!"

"One month is the limit. On the second day of February, I will be waiting for you in Mengshan outside Taiyuan City!"

Previously, when he forcibly took back the silver that he had searched from the rich families' homes, Gao Yigong and others had some objections.

However, when they easily "snatched" back a large number of weapons and armor from the East Factory, and the number of these weapons coincided with the number of Qin troops, this opinion disappeared forever.

Damn, he can actually bribe the people from the East Factory, Master Li is so awesome!

Moreover, in their opinion, the person bribed by Li Zicheng was most likely Wei Zhongxian, the Nine Thousand Year Old!

Chapter 183 Dengwengu

Zhu Youxiao, who was far away in Nanjing, had no idea that the Fan family in Jiexiu had been annihilated.

If he had known, Liu Yue's suggestion for him to abstain from sex would probably have been postponed.

The candles in the palace were lit all night long. The eunuchs and maids in the palace had never thought that they would one day serve the emperor.

Therefore, they all became extremely careful, whether walking or doing things, for fear of being dragged out and chopped by mistake.

On the first day of the New Year, before dawn, Zhu Youxiao was awakened by the sound of firecrackers outside the palace.

He opened his eyes dazedly, and then said in a daze: "It's been eight years since the Apocalypse!"

Youtong was guarding in the hall, with the arm injured by Valdes still hung on his chest with a cloth. When he heard the noise, he hurried over.

"Your Majesty is awake. I will help you change your clothes."

Seeing his cleverness, Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.

"How old are you?"

Yutong smiled flatteringly and replied, "Your Majesty, it was nineteen yesterday and twenty today."

Zhu Youxiao felt a little melancholy when he heard this: "Twenty is a good age. If you were an ordinary person, you should have married and had children. Do you regret entering the palace to become a eunuch?"

Yutong's expression froze, but then he buried the loneliness deep in his heart.

"I don't regret it. If I hadn't entered the palace, I wouldn't have had the blessing of seeing Your Majesty every day."

Zhu Youxiao shook his head as he looked at his obvious insincere expression.

"Okay, stop flattering me. Go back to the orphanage and pick out a smart child. Bring him to your home. I will make the decision and enroll him in your family tree. This will help prolong your family line."

The bullets were taken out of his gun, leaving only an empty gun. He would be a miracle if he didn't regret it!

I just don’t know whether Zhang Jingyue and Wu Youxing have fully figured out the transplantation technique.

If this skill is mastered, maybe we can put the eggs back into these eunuchs in the future.

hiss......

What a great idea!

Zhu Youxiao was moved by himself...

But Yutong's eyes had turned red from crying without her knowing: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Being included in the family tree when alive and buried in the ancestral tomb after death is a big deal in this era!

As eunuchs, after being stabbed, it meant that they were cut off from the family and naturally had no qualifications to be included in the family tree or enter the ancestral tomb, not to mention his adopted children.

Of course, eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian are exceptions. After all, the power in their hands can bring great benefits to the family.

Zhu Youxiao promised to allow his adopted child to be included in the family tree of the Yu family, which meant that Yutong himself could also return to the family tree...

Although my physical roots are gone, by returning to the family tree, my heart's roots are back!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this moment, a low drum sound suddenly came from outside the palace.

Zhu Youxiao didn't take it to heart. He walked to the table in his slippers and poured himself a glass of water.

But when Yutong heard the drum sound, he became a little unnatural.

"Your Majesty, it seems to be a drum for hearing the news!"

Zhu Youxiao's hand, which was about to grab the teapot, stopped in mid-air and he turned back suddenly to look at Youtong.

"Is it the drum outside the palace gate?"

Yutong nodded: "I will go and ask what's going on."

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set up a drum to report complaints in accordance with the old system, so that ordinary people could have a channel to file complaints.

When the drum for reporting was sounded, the emperor would personally investigate the case. Any official who dared to obstruct would be severely punished.

But although this thing is placed outside the palace, it is rarely struck, and now it has almost become a decoration.

Zhu Youxiao was very confused. It was New Year's Day, and there was still injustice?

Yutong soon found out: "Your Majesty, there are three scholars outside the palace who said they have something important to advise Your Majesty on!"

Juren? ?

This made Zhu Youxiao even more confused.

What kind of injustice could a juren have?

Judging from the moral character of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty today, it is more credible to say that they have an affair than to say that they have been wronged!

Did these people’s brains get stuck in a door or kicked by a donkey?

Can't you just let yourself have peace during the New Year?

"Go out and see!"

After changing into the dragon robe and washing up, he walked out of the hall and towards the palace gate.

Yutong followed behind and called a team of Jinyiwei to accompany him.
