Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

If Yuan Zongdi is driven away before the summer harvest, the wheat planted by the people last year can still be harvested.

Although the Nanyang area has long been in dilapidated state under the ravages of the intruders, many people have fled, and less than half of the fields are cultivated.

The harvested grain is not enough to supply the needs of the imperial court, but it can be used in emergencies!

Fortunately - it's early summer, the time to plant fall crops.

The growth cycles of sorghum, millet, and rice are relatively short. If they are planted well, the grain can barely catch up to the maturity of wheat next year.

The premise is - drive away the Chuang army immediately and make every effort to arrange for summer harvest and summer planting!

Otherwise, the big problem of food will crush them!

This is still based on the premise that there is only the current population. If refugees continue to pour in, or more and more soldiers are recruited...

Ni Yuanlu shook her head and smiled bitterly.

He could already see how heavy the burden was on his shoulders!

Food... food!

Hearing this, Wang Jiayan, the right minister of the Ministry of War, nodded:

"What Shangshu Ni said is indeed a major event before our eyes.

However, there is one more thing that you should not forget -

Xiangyang is located at the south gate of Nanyang Basin and is known as an iron city.

Baiwang's base camp was located in Xiangyang, and Li Zicheng also used Xiangyang as his base.

Xiangyang's political status for the Chuang Army is even greater than that of Xi'an!

It is also of great political significance to our country!

It can be said that as long as we capture Xiangyang, the impact will be more than a hundred times greater than if we capture a Wuguan! "

Zhu Youjian raised his eyebrows, and the end of his eyes couldn't stop beating a few times:

Is this an opportunity to expand political influence?

After Li Zicheng captured Xiangyang, he changed its name to Xiangjing, proclaimed himself the king, and opened schools to recruit scholars.

Just like the Ming Dynasty Taizu captured Jinling and established Nanjing.

Xiangyang was the first capital of Dashun, and it was the cornerstone of the establishment of the Dashun regime!

For Dashun, Xiangyang's political significance is indeed very high.

So, by taking back Xiangyang, they not only weakened Li Zicheng's influence in seizing the capital, but also improved his political status as a wandering monarch!

For the scholars of the world - Li Zicheng captured Zhu Youjian's northern capital in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youjian backhandedly captured Li Zicheng's first capital...

It seems to be even!

In this way, Zhu Youjian's political influence will be greatly weakened if Li Zicheng seizes the capital and Jiangnan becomes his own emperor!

In the future, when scholars are discussing, they will not point out that he has abandoned the world.

But he would say: "Today's world is becoming more and more opaque. Li Zicheng captured the capital and Jiangnan became independent. Emperor Ming, who thought he was certain to die, instead broke into Li Zicheng's hinterland and captured Xiangyang, the first capital of Dashun." ...'

At that time, the scholars who were not optimistic about him may not regard him as an option if they fail!

……

Zhu Youjian had a smile on his lips and thought to himself:

Wang Jiayan’s plan is great!

In this way, the hat of incompetence can be removed from his head.

……

Zhu Youjian chuckled and started to feel sinister:

If I send someone to add fuel to the fire and publicize the fact that the court officials are causing harm to the court...

Is public opinion on my side?

By then, among the teahouses and restaurants, the thing that people will talk about the most will definitely be——

'Let me tell you, the officials are still too bad. They control the government and make the country so weak that they even lose the capital! ’

If anyone refutes...

You can stop people with just one sentence——

‘Why, you are allowed to do it, but we are not allowed to say anything! ’

‘When you gentry and wealthy families controlled the government, the Tatars kept coming in and looting;

The bandits kept rising up and rebelling, and even the capital was lost!

Is this what you are capable of?

You forced the palace to rebel and surrendered the city to the Li thieves. When Li Zicheng came, he stuck out his butt, and when the Tatars came, they also stuck out their butts. Is this called personnel affairs?

Look at the emperor again. He was forced to flee in embarrassment by you...

However, without your constraints, they can turn around and kill everyone, even taking back Li Zicheng's lair! ’

When the time comes, there must be someone admiring him:

‘Yes, yes, you still have the nerve to beep! Look what you are doing is called personnel affairs?

The emperor stood firm in the capital and fought to the end, but you forced him into the palace!

People have escaped from the capital and are planning to counterattack; you sacrifice your life to the emperor!

While people are fleeing, they are fighting and killing the intruders; you are demarcating territory to support yourself...

You are not sons of man!

Who else is beeping here? ’

……

Zhu Youjian blinked.

It seems that he has seen the scene where the Jiangnan gentry has no time to take care of themselves under his stirring up troubles!

Wang Jiayan’s proposal is so wonderful!

Of course, the premise is that I am smart enough and know how to take the opportunity to occupy the high ground of public opinion for myself!

hmm~

Zhu Youjian touched his chin.

This can be done!

It seems that I need to send a letter to Lao Fang and let him tinker with it!

Stumbling the enemy, I like it best!

……

What's more, once Xiangyang is in hand, he, Zhu Youjian, will be the overlord who completely owns the Nanyang Basin.

By that time, he will have changed from the wandering monarch of a subjugated country to a big boss who holds real power in a place.

With capital in hand, you can also attract gentry and wealthy people to invest!

Nanyang at this time was not the nameless granary of later generations.

Nanyang in ancient times!

That's where Liu Xiu made his fortune!

That was the anointed place left to Yuan Shu, a descendant of the "Fourth Generation and Three Dukes" and a Yuan family with disciples all over the world!

That is one of the five largest capitals in the world!

It was the earliest iron-smelting capital in China!

How important is Nanyang’s position in China:

Zhang Qian went out to the Western Regions and won the Western Regions for the Han Dynasty. What a great achievement - the fiefdom of Nanyang Fangcheng Bowang.

Huo Qubing crossed the river to receive money, and was granted the title of Xu, the most famous champion in history - the fiefdom of Dengzhou in Nanyang.

In addition, there are Zhang Heng... Wang Jian... Fan Li... Zhang Zhongjing... Zhang Xun... Tie Xuan... Deng Yu... Baili Xi...

There are many great people born in Nanyang, and naturally there are many descendants.

Zhu Youjian's eyes flickered...

The sinister dog emperor has taken everything into account——

China's 5000-year history is a history of 5000-year wars.

Who can survive many wars and troubled times and continue to pass on to future generations? Who is not the queen of the powerful?

As the saying goes, you can't be poor for more than three generations - those who are more than three generations can't find a wife, and most of them will never have any offspring...

Zhu Youjian groped his chin:

‘I, the lord of the world, have come to their ancestral land, how can these people not be used by me? ’

'If I go one step further and seize the whole of Henan...'

‘Count up your fingers, how many wealthy families have ancestors who were not born here? ’

'As the old saying goes - whoever wins the Central Plains wins the world! ’
