Of course, ambition still has to be related to strength.

An army of millions, for Li Xiangqian, this is not a problem, and any difficulties and obstacles are not a problem, as long as he wants to, he dares, all the rulers of the whole East Asia and even the whole world who stand in his way will all die within 72 hours, or a little longer.

Of course, this problem is similar to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor back then, it is easy to start killing, it is difficult to stop the war, it is easy to lay down a piece of land, but it is difficult to govern it well, of course, some extreme elders, after passing the initial "refractory period", began to go to ultra-nationalism, clamoring to use certain tricks to directly eliminate certain ethnic groups, and also said conclusively, to establish a new order on the earth, as for the old world law, what kind of scum is it.

Fortunately, at that seminar, this kind of mouth cannon was immediately deviated from the topic by him, so that the largest silent majority of the Presbyterian Church began to tear up again for the matter of the Ethnographic Museum, after all, for them, the whiteskins are likely to obtain some of their technology through exchanges between the East and the West, and then the technology may explode and have a huge impact on their rule.

Although this kind of mentality of eating fish and being afraid of thorns has, to a certain extent, the new scientific and technological and cultural system established by the Europeans in the original history has considerable potential, but under Li Xiangqian's explanation, anyone can understand that it is only necessary to let the colonies of the old Europeans be lost, and the universities for research are dismantled one by one, and only universities are allowed on the earth in the Celestial Empire, and what cultural centers, industrial centers, and financial centers are all controllable.

The real problem is that, as Nabu Mu Butai said, it is in people, living people, who have done their work, and other aspects will be pushed down the river, and it is precisely because of this that he has sent money one by one to appease these veterans and let them go back to settle down.

Of course, the person who presided over the distribution of money was not Li Zicheng, and this kind of thing to increase loyalty naturally had to be done by the elders themselves, and if they were kind and pleasant, they gently put the gold in the hands of that person.

"Oh, you've been with King Chuang for three years, fifty taels of gold, take it, go home, wife and children are hot on the kang, live a good life, don't come nonsense."

Kneeling to the ground with a plop, the man said: "Thank you to the immortals, thank you to the immortals, the villain will be loyal to the court and the lord when he goes back." ”

Li glanced forward, just like the one in Ah Q's main biography, at first he kept saying, don't kneel, don't kneel, but then he was numb, waved his hand, and said, "Pack your luggage and get ready to leave." ”

As I said before, Li Zicheng's soldiers are mainly from Henan and Shaanxi, and these people are also straightforward, and they don't ask for anything too much, these gold don't sound like much, dozens of taels, but in this era of buying gold in troubled times, they all like hard currency, with these things, it's basically a sum of money that can be lived to death, and no one wants anything else.

The common people are sincere.

Just like the grain fields in the assembly number, after the battle, they went home to farm and settle down, and Li Xiangqian also assured them that there would be a corresponding amount of land and livestock from Mongolia to be sold in large quantities to facilitate their reclamation of wasteland.

There is a problem to be solved, naturally is the problem of land rights, in such an era, the landlords' favorite thing is to make a disaster, it is best to make a disaster every few years, whether it is a flood or a locust plague, those farmers who do not have half a penny in their hands finally can't help it, can only sell land, live a good life, become tenants next year, and even all personal freedom is not, and even in this era, the north has just experienced a fight that lasted for more than ten years, and the population has decreased sharply, There will never be a shortage of inferior gentry who stand on the ground with a plough, or profiteers who see the seams.

Therefore, the stability of any regime comes from a healthy economy, a strong army, and a top-down bureaucracy that can move government policies from the center to the people.

And now, you don't have to look with your eyes, you can also know that under the reverse elimination, what are the remaining grassroots officials of the Ming Dynasty, you don't have to work hard to find black spots, there are no white spots at all, all black, in this case, rashly promoting any policy, it is completely ineffective, and even will produce absolute consequences, which is why Li Xiangqian essentially gave up the substantive expansion of the regime, but first managed the imperial capital, and even the industrial belt near the imperial capital that can support an industrial revolution. Even in the 21st century, the world-famous smog circle around the imperial capital, how did that thing come about? Not only is the North China Plain high mountains to the north and west, but the largest steelmaking center is here.

Therefore, those who crossed Xiaobai, just crossed, promulgated all kinds of great policies like mouth cannons, thinking that the above issued an order, and then made a private visit to eliminate a few corrupt officials, and everyone obeyed, in fact, it was simply a decree that did not come out of the posture of the presbyterian council.

This is the best solution: use ten tons of gold to send away tens of thousands of veterans who have followed Li Zicheng for the longest time, or who are old and weak, and the rest of the people are not suppressed in combat effectiveness, but at least have motivation, which is given real money.

Among them, naturally, there were also clamoring for disbenement, saying that they were also soldiers who broke into the king, so why couldn't I take the money and leave.

Immediately, there will be old-timers who got the money to teach him a lesson, "your grandmother's claws, Lao Tzu has followed King Chuang for many years, I have followed him since Luoyang, you have only fought a few battles, just listen to orders honestly." ”

The words are also good, if you give gold to those who have followed Li Zicheng for too short a time, then those old people should quit, why do we work harder than them, but the money is about the same?

This is a technique to incite the masses to fight against the masses, and it is also a helplessness for the presbyterian regime to go down to the grassroots level, after all, from Li Xiangqian himself and others, he has no experience of going to the fields to make friendly friends with the old peasants, but everyone is very eager to try to go directly to the opposite of the working people, the landlords and old wealth.

Helpless, helpless.

Most of the people are gone, Li Xiangqian absolutely understands that under the principle of the law of large numbers, these veterans must have been deceived into taking gold, or because of good wine, gambling and lust, they quickly wiped out the money, of course, it will not be much, after all, they all survived from the knife, and they must cherish this day, and they are all farmers, and every farmer is eager to become a landlord.
