Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

These are just some of the reasons, and the biggest reason is that Zhu Youjian wanted to use Zhang Xianzhong's sword to clean out those powerful people, even if it hurt Daming's bones.

At least 70 to 80 percent of the entire Ming Empire's land was in the hands of wealthy family members and civil servant groups. If he wanted to appease the people and make them return home, he had to let the people have fields to grow, food to eat, and clothes to wear. wear.

Innovation is inevitable, but it will also touch the interests of these people and trigger a strong backlash. It is possible to rebel against him. If he does not control powerful force, he, the emperor, may really have his head chopped off.

According to historical records, Zhang Xianzhong was not only grumpy, but also bloodthirsty. He was not as big a threat to the Ming Dynasty as Li Zicheng. Therefore, he planned to borrow Zhang Xianzhong's butcher knife to help him clear some stumbling blocks on the road to innovation.

It is said that things must be reversed at the extreme. Some things, when developed to the extreme, will stagnate or even cause reverse effects. If you want to move forward, you can only make a breakthrough, which is what people often say. Break and then build.

I will kill anyone who dares to stop the Ming Dynasty from reviving the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Youjian said this with murderous intent in front of the chief military advisor Wu Buwei. He really thought so in his heart. He was not afraid even if heads were rolling and blood flowed like rivers, and he would bear the infamy of a tyrant.

At that time, Wu Buwei was not afraid of the revolt. He had already seen the emperor's majestic ambition, determination and decisiveness. This was a sage king who was not inferior to the founding emperor, and he would definitely assist him with all his strength.

Having said that, Sichuan's army is not all rubbish. The white-armed soldiers under the loyal female war goddess Qin Liangyu of the Ming Dynasty are quite awesome. They can be called rare elites in the Ming army. However, the number is a bit small, only three. To five thousand people.

The reason is that the White Pole Soldiers are a private army supported by Qin Liangyu out of his own pocket. As the local emperor of Shizhu, Sichuan, Qin Liangyu did not exploit the people like most powerful families, and sometimes even subsidized the poor people. Therefore, she He doesn't have much private money. He supports 3,000 private soldiers and expands to 5,000 during the war, which is already the limit of his financial resources.

Any emperor, no matter how stupid, would be very afraid of such a powerful force and would try every means to weaken or even eliminate it. But Zhu Youjian knew that Qin Liangyu was loyal and patriotic, so there was no need to worry about what evil she would do.

Not only was he not worried, he even wanted to help Qin Liangyu expand the strength of the white pole soldiers in order to deal with Zhang Xianzhong.

With Qin Liangyu's reputation and military capabilities in Sichuan, if she is not held back and given sufficient support, coupled with the cooperation of the Guangxi Wolf Soldier Brigade, I believe she will be able to defeat Zhang Xianzhong.

However, allowing or even supporting the expansion and strengthening of the Qin family's private armed forces is limited to Qin Liangyu alone. Her descendants are hard to say. When the time comes, Zhu Youjian will weaken the Baigan soldiers and all local private armed forces in the name of reorganization. , whoever dares to resist the decree will be destroyed decisively.

The emperor is wise, powerful, and far-sighted, but I am short-sighted and almost ruined the emperor's important affairs. Song Xiance sighed, with an expression of admiration and joy on his face, and he was even more grateful in his heart.

If he continues to hang out with Li Zicheng, he will definitely lose his head one day. Moreover, the emperor has already set his sights on him, and maybe even his family will be implicated by him and be ruined.

Thanks to God's blessing, he and his whole family were saved.

In the days that followed, Song Xianzhong and Wu Buwei assisted Zhu Youjian. One on the left and the other on the right, they became Zhu Youjian's confidants and served Zhu Youjian loyally.

Brother Song, the emperor is still recruiting troops. He is a bit militaristic...

A few days later, when the chief military advisor Wu Buwei learned that the emperor was recruiting new soldiers to form a 5,000-strong Royal Second Regiment, he could not help frowning and feeling worried.

No matter how powerful the empire is, once it goes militarily, the consequences will be serious. Is the emperor a little crazy?

Brother Wu, what you said is wrong. Song Xiance shook his head and retorted, with a bit of joy and even an almost crazy expression on his face.
