As soon as the edict of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen came out, the world was shocked, and the ministers in the court were all silent.

As soon as the guilty edict came out, it showed that the high-ranking emperor had succumbed to the ruthless man outside the gate, and not only that, but also took down the first assistant and two ministers and dozens of officials together.

Using three cabinet ministers and dozens of officials at a time to calm the anger of the ruthless man outside the gate is enough to show that the emperor has been forced to the point of exhaustion.

Shanhaiguan has been easily broken by others, is there still a place in the world that can stop the Changxing Army?

Looking at the gloomy and terrible face on Zhu Youzhen's face on the dragon chair, no one dared to anger the emperor at this time. The emperor was angry to kill people, and no one dared to provoke Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting in the crater, at this time.

Emperor Chongzhen sent people to Dingliao City again to pass the decree, and it was Zhang Dou who was crowned as the king of Dingliao and sent Danshu iron coupons.

And Zhang Dou was allowed to open a government to build a mansion, Yongzhen in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Dou also officially broke the earth and became the king, opening a precedent for nearly 300 years in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was broken by him, and the entire north outside the pass was owned by the Changxing Army.

The taxes under the rule of the Changxing Army can be said to be a paradise compared to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty has begun a mighty "break into the Guandong".

In a few years, more than a million people with their families have walked out of the border and taken root in that black land.

They brought vitality and vitality to Liaodong, which was devastated after the war, and the Changxing Army became stronger and stronger in the land of Liaodong.

Han Yi was taken back and thrown into prison by the Jinyi guard sent by the Jingshi, and no one knew when he would be released.

Maybe he won't be able to see the outside sky until the end of his life, and he doesn't care if he lives or dies.

The people of the Ming Dynasty are more concerned about another problem, the Jiannu outside the gate is gone, and there is not much left of the Guanning army in western Liaoning, so do you still have to collect the heavy salary every year?

The imperial court quickly gave an answer to this question, and the annual liao salary was cancelled, but with it came the border salary.

Far from being less than the Liao's salary, the amount of money paid was much higher, reaching an appalling amount of 5 million taels a year.

The collection of border salaries caused an uproar in the Ming Dynasty, but surprisingly, none of the civil and military forces in the court had any objections.

Even those Confucians, who are full of benevolence and morality on weekdays, are silent, and the upper echelons of the entire Ming Dynasty are unified and fully agree with the collection of side salaries.

It was really the Changxing army that frightened all of them, and Shanhaiguan could be broken in one day, and such a strong army was like a sharpened sword hanging over their heads, threatening their safety all the time.

If you don't build a solid side wall, Emperor Chongzhen won't be at ease when he sleeps, maybe one day the ruthless man outside the gate will be tired of doing it and want to be the emperor, and the entire Ming Dynasty will have to give it to him?

For the safety of the entire Ming Dynasty, continuous fortresses will be built at the main passes in and out of the pass.

Moreover, Daming also has to train a strong army, and this kind of thing that threatens the Changxing army must not happen again.

The people, who had hoped for the imperial court, had completely collapsed, and the successive disasters had made their lives very difficult, and the heavy taxes had overwhelmed them.

Especially in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, there is no harvest, and people who can't survive have rebelled.

Among the many rebels, one named Li Zicheng was the most famous, and his soldiers were well-trained and well-equipped.

And never start with the poor people, especially pick those wealthy families to start, every time they get a large amount of grain and grass will be distributed to the surrounding people, in the northwest has gained a good reputation.

Some people say that Li Zicheng was blessed by the gods and gave him a mountain of gold, so that he could have the financial resources to train and assemble his soldiers.

It is also said that he discovered the treasure trove left behind by Meng Yuan and used the weapons and armor inside to assemble countless soldiers.

Anyway, Li Zicheng not only gained a firm foothold in the northwest, but also faintly had a tendency to become the leader of all the rebels.

The imperial court also sent troops to Li Zicheng and other rebels many times, but not only did not destroy the rebels, but was also defeated by the rebels led by Li Zicheng.

The Northwest Wind Rebel Army became more and more powerful, and the imperial court had to invest soldiers, horses, money, and food again and again to exterminate the rebel army, leaving the already stretched Daimyo treasury empty.

The Changxing Army withdrew to Liaodong after Zhu Youzhen's edict, and Qin Shi took the initiative to resign from all his positions in the Changxing Army.

Outside Shengjing City, Zhang Dou handed a bowl of spirits to Qin Shi's hand and said: "I don't know when we will be able to meet all the way here, I hope that my brother will take care of his body, and when you and my brother meet again, we must drink hard and not get drunk and not return." ”

Qin Shi drank the wine bowl in his hand, wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Please rest assured, handsome!" I'm the governor of Tianzhu, isn't it just to deal with a group of Tianzhu people! Please rest assured, Tianzhu will definitely become a part of the Changxing Army! ”

After speaking, Qin Shi hugged his fists and bowed away, looking at the back of the person who walked away, Zhang Dou's heart was lost for no reason.

Since becoming the king of Dingliao, he has become more and more estranged from his subordinates. Some old subordinates can still call him handsome, and more people are gradually changing to princes!

Although the Changxing Army has abolished the kneeling salute, there are still many people who see him kneeling involuntarily.

This is a shackle imposed on the Chinese people for thousands of years, and it is by no means something that can be forcibly abolished with a single order.

Zhang Dou, who returned to the Dingliao Palace, did not go to meet his wife, nor did he go to the study to deal with official business.

Instead, he went straight to a courtyard in the palace, where a lot of wood was piled up in a mess, and some wool was scattered on the ground.

When he walked into the courtyard, more than a dozen craftsmen who were originally busy stopped their work at the same time and were about to give Zhang Dou a salute.

Zhang Dou hurriedly grabbed an old craftsman with gray hair and said, "Old man! This is unacceptable! Under the rule of the Changxing Army, the kneeling ceremony has been abolished, and I will have to give this gift again! ”

Zhang Dou's few odd things are so big that the old craftsman can't kneel down at all. The old man had to bow and say hello to Zhang Dou in a proper manner, and he had never heard of a prince like Zhang Dou in a craftsman family.

Needless to say, the high-ranking prince, even those small foremen can call and drink at will for craftsmen like them.

These days in the Dingliao Palace, which almost subverted his cognition, this grassroots prince has no frame at all, and he never talks about red tape.

I usually don't talk to those literati and Confucians, but I come to mingle with them and craftsmen whenever I have time.

The old craftsman pressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Lord Wang! The spinning machine for spinning the yarn has almost been manufactured, and all that remains is to make it as simple as possible, and it will be completely manufactured in ten days and a half months! ”

"Good! Good! Someone is rewarded! ”
