Chapter 458 Another year

The words cannot be explained clearly.

First of all, Zhu Youjian didn't fully plan the future, he just made up his mind.

Secondly, I was afraid of making my eldest brother angry.

After all, it was initiated by Wang Chengen and spread among the Jinyiwei and the Laohei Banner clans, which had transformed Hong Chengchou's ancestor's birthday into a superstitious idea of ​​Catholicism. Zhu Youjian only had to think about the changes in himself, and he would inevitably be affected.

It is indeed a bit scary.

Zhu Youjian said goodbye to his eldest brother, who thought he could say a few words from his heart, and went to Siling with his children.

The deceased wife must be asked to see her children, and then talk about the future arrangements for the children, and promise to bring the eldest son here this year, and the fourth child will not give up looking for her.

Once the explanation is over, this year has finally come to an end.

The first day of the new year.

The Imperial City was very busy inside and outside the palace. After the Manchus in the capital fled, the properties in the city were sorted out by black flags. Those with original owners were returned to their original places, and those without were included as government property and were either sold or kept.

According to Zhu, the bannermen were placed in the inspected areas or sent out with rewards.

This move made the Han people directly call the Wuerte Holy Ming Monarch, and the support was extremely strong. Therefore, this New Year brought peace and bustle to the capital that had not been seen for a long time.

Black Flag has had a really good year.

But looking at the world, there are basically no people who can celebrate the New Year as safely as Black Flag.

The chronic diseases of the Ming Dynasty cannot be cured by conventional means.

The battle with Daxi in Sichuan was extremely tense. The Ming Dynasty's superior troops attacked in two directions, but they could not gain any ground. Instead, Daxi's army secretly defeated some troops from time to time, and went to the territory of the Ming Dynasty to burn, kill and loot.

Fortunately, the waterway is protected, otherwise the outcome of the battle would be difficult to predict.

After this year, the Northern Expedition failed and the losses were extremely heavy. The two rebels in the west were unable to be dealt with. After several years, the situation has not improved at all. It can only be said that it is much more stable than before when the Ming Dynasty was most dangerous.

This indicates that although Longwu's several years of hard work have not come to naught, it makes the future of Ming Dynasty look bleak.

With the defeat on the battlefield and the natural and man-made disasters in the country, can this year be easy?

It can only be said that there are huge differences, but after all, the most fatal military chaos and the many military robberies are missing. The people of the Ming Dynasty can still produce grain and carry out production despite the famine. Even if there is a famine, the landowners and gentry of the Ming Dynasty still have money on hand.

With some surplus grain, the Longwu court was also trying to provide relief to the victims, and there was also a way to survive by going north to Guandong.

It would not have led to the birth of poems such as "Cai Ren's Sorrow" in the world.

This side of Dashun.

Except for Azig in the north who attacked twice after taking Yulin but was repelled, and the Ming Dynasty in the south failed in the Northern Expedition, so no weapons were used against them. Dashun's life this year was more stable than that of the Ming Dynasty.

But the illness of their monarch, Emperor Li Zicheng of Dashun, became more and more serious.

There are also some minor disasters and famines in the territory. Dashun's army has no money, no equipment, and barely enough food to eat. They have long lost the barefoot confidence they had when they joined the rebel army, and naturally they can't talk about any progress.

It can be said that today’s Dashun is waiting for Li Zicheng to leave.

Once Li Zicheng left and the chief culprit was gone, the Dashun generals would return to the Ming crown prince, and perhaps cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to attack Daxi while the north refused to establish slaves and barbarians as bargaining chips in exchange for recruitment.

This process was ordered by Li Zicheng himself.

In addition, after Li Zicheng finished speaking about this arrangement similar to a will on his sick bed, he finally said after a while that if the Ming Dynasty did not accept the recruitment, he could offer the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince and Black Flag King Wuerte.

This made Li Guo and Gao Yigong grit their teeth, their hearts filled with unwillingness and resentment.

In any case, surrender is not a consideration for them.

But now that Li Zicheng has spoken, they really have to consider it as an alternative.

"Then King Black Flag and his daughter are pretty good."

After Li Zicheng said this sentence, the arrangements for the will were completed.

In fact, he didn't know much about Black Flag, after all, he didn't have much contact with his subordinates.

But since Wu Sangui was killed by the Black Flag King's daughter, he became curious about Black Flag. He even called the Black Flag King's daughter Wei Chuo really a strange woman. If he didn't already have a good match, she would be the wife of a good man.

As it should be.

He also made a special trip to send two carts of gifts to Princess Black Flag for this matter, which shows his overwhelming hatred for Wu Sangui.

For this reason, he began to deliberately let his subordinates search for information about Black Flag. In this regard, it was a last resort.

After all, these words were not a final edict, but Li Zicheng felt that he was conscious and clear, and after sorting out his thoughts, he made arrangements for the future of many Dashun generals.

Until the last moment of his life, he might still leave a legacy and choose one person from among his many relatives to take the throne and leave the decision-making power to this person.

And Daxi.

There were many fewer people in the territory, and the attempt to conquer Sichuan failed, and they were surrounded by the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, the people in this year were full of complaints.

Lao Zhang also realized that he had become the focus of the Ming Dynasty, so he held a banquet for all officials on New Year's Day and set strategic goals for the New Year.

In the first half of the year, we gave up on going east, and moved the main force westward while hoarding some wealth. We also looked at whether Ming Dynasty could find another target on its long front if it couldn't attack for a long time, and then tried to go east after Ming Dynasty relaxed.

He also wrote an heroic article on the fight against the Qiang and Tibetan people. Due to the radical and avant-garde language used, it was hidden by the Western imperial court and was instead ghostwritten by a civil servant in the DPRK and under the banner of Advertising.

Finally.

I have to talk about the Eight Banners.

The Eight Banners also have to celebrate the New Year.

And this year, the Eight Banners celebrated the New Year with a more festive feel than before.

After all, I have finally settled in Han Dynasty.

There was no city wall to protect them, and they were still forced out of the capital like a lost dog. They had to survive under the siege of Han people, and Han people still accounted for the majority among the Eight Banners.

Facing the invasion of Han culture, we had no resistance at all.

The various rules at the bottom are no longer restrictive.

The name of the Qing Dynasty still exists, the Wuerte have abandoned the so-called distinction between clothes and hats, and the order to shave their hair is no longer enforced. Han Chinese among the Eight Banners are gradually growing their hair, and the Manchus, who are a minority group, also follow the herd.

Even King Sanshun, who was stationed in Yulin, Yinchuan, together with Zhengbai Qi, gradually changed their clothes and hairstyles.

I was also debating whether I should wear my Viking braids when meeting people from Black Flag in the future.

In this regard, the kings of the Eight Banners and Zhu Beile were worried, but they had nothing to do.

Now the Han people in the area are their base, and they are still the largest base. Black Flag controls the politics of the Qing Dynasty, and there are many Han officials in the court. The previous imperial examinations also added many people with fame to the local area, which made the gentry pay more attention to

The Eight Banners often have a bad feeling, but they have hope for the Black Flag Qing Dynasty.

Nowadays, many Han people and ministers are in trouble.

The Qing Dynasty was required to punish the Eight Banners for seizing land in Hebei and Shanxi to serve as military garrison sites, and various cases were reported to the court.

Although the Black Flag did not raise any issues regarding the land, they reacted strongly to the Eight Banners' actions of attacking the common people and harming the Han people. They put pressure on food and wages, which forced the Eight Banners to restrain themselves.
