Then the refugee time travelers became stronger and stronger.

After he became strong enough, he finally began to formally attack the county seat, which was a rebellion.

He killed the emperor's time traveler in one breath and caught him off guard.

After all, this is different from playing a game. No one can see the specific situation of other forces on the big map.

So for a while, war broke out everywhere.

The emperor's time traveler suddenly found himself unstable in the south of the Yangtze River.

A private salt dealer occupied a lot of his local county seat.

The other party was very smart and did not directly appoint those county magistrates.

Many local administrators were replaced by him, and the people who replaced them were all talented scholars and Tong Sheng who had been failing for many years.

Most of them are over 35 years old, and some are even in their 50s and 60s.

These people often fail in the examinations, and many of them have long been resentful and angry about the imperial examinations.

In particular, many people think they are qualified long ago, but because they have no money to manage, they have nothing to do, so they fail to pass the exam to become a scholar or a scholar.

Among the rebels in history, the scholars who were easiest to join were Tong Sheng and Xiucai.

Firstly, the number is huge, and secondly, the lower-level exams have more shady secrets.

Just like when a child enters the scholar level, he is first grasped by the local county magistrate.

Moreover, the first person chosen by the county magistrate must be a scholar.

Because as long as the examiners of the next two exams do not have a big grudge against the county magistrate, they will not break the underlying rules of the scholars.

The first place I ordered was dropped...

What does this mean?

Is my taste so bad?

You must know that the official county magistrate must be at least a top three Jinshi.

You can also become a county magistrate, but you can't directly arrange it. You have to start from the third-in-command and be promoted step by step.

Under these layers of darkness, there are naturally many scholars who harbor resentment.

Especially among the old students, some read stupidly and some read ruthlessly.

They spend their whole lives studying books and never get started.

At this time, a grass-roots team invited them to go. There is a high probability that they would not care about their family or their own safety, just to show off their losses.

Just to prove that I am definitely no worse than those who passed the exam!

There are too many such examples.

When these people were appointed as county magistrates, they must have wanted to do something at first.

To prove that he is better than the real Jinshi.

Loyalty is relatively high.

After all, they have no retreat.

Unlike the previous magistrates, in any case, he could still rely on his connections in the imperial examination, his classmates, and classmates... to give himself the opportunity to make a comeback through meritorious service.

These old scholars and old boys who have been unsuccessful for many years are basically dead anyway.

If you don't die, how can the position of county magistrate be vacant?

Therefore, the loyalty of these new county magistrates is quite high.

Unless he is in a desperate situation of being besieged, Li Zicheng's situation will not happen.

As soon as the news of the defeat came, they immediately began to mobilize troops to launch a rebellion.

They would at least think about struggling.

This is another point that Li Zicheng is anxious about.

In order to settle the place as soon as possible, compromise with the landlords as soon as possible, and surrender as soon as possible, a large number of surrendered people and generals were retained.

This was one of the reasons for his failure.

There was no solid person to block the Manchu pursuers for him.

This is not the case for refugee time travellers.

He knew very well that scholars must use it in this era.

But you can use those who have failed and those who are full of resentment.

And the proportion of these people far exceeds those who pass the exam.

To win the imperial examination, it is basically 300 to 1 for a scholar, 3000 to 1 for a successful candidate, and 300 for a Jinshi.

Such similar proportions.

As a result, more and more people are failing.

This is also the reason why at the end of the dynasty, any rebel will not have to worry about the lack of scholars to take refuge.

The imperial examination cannot solve the fundamental problem, it can only promote relatively outstanding people.

It is impossible for everyone to enter the monarch's pocket.

In this way, the refugee army fought in the south of the Yangtze River with overwhelming momentum.

One after another, failed scholars obtained official positions.

They also became increasingly loyal to the rebels.

Because they can't wait to turn this low-quality official position into one made of gold!

This is also one of the secrets of the Manchu success in history.

In order to correct their reputation, those who surrender will fight to the death to turn the Manchu Qing Dynasty into orthodoxy.

The emperor time traveler soon discovered that his position as emperor would be unstable if he was allowed to be conquered by the refugee army.

Soon he felt very frightened.

He didn't want to be hanged.

In fact, he has already made the area around the capital quite solid.

It can be said that it directly controls the surrounding five million people.

But after all, the environment is here, and the big cities in the north must rely on food from the south.

If there is a problem in Jiangnan, it will be irresistible.

In the short term, he can also rely on his strong control over his surroundings to raise food.

Over time, the rebound will be very serious.

He is still not as good as the other party.

If the situation is allowed to develop, he will be easily killed by the opponent soon.

Once the other party kills him, he believes that all his harem wives and concubines will become enemies.

When he thought about that kind of thing, he went crazy inside.

He will never allow this to happen, nor will he allow this to happen!

Thinking of those obedient wives and concubines, the emperor's time traveler gained fighting spirit.

He must kill all these rebels completely.

He is a time traveler, isn't he inferior to a group of indigenous people?

However, according to recent news from factory guards, the leader of the refugee rebellion seems to be a time traveler.

Because some of the methods adopted by the other party are very similar to those of the time-travelers.

For example, ensuring economic circulation, creating a large number of jobs, and issuing currency linked to food.

All in all, he looked strange.

But if you think about it carefully, there is also Wang Mang.

In fact, Wang Mang was all retro and used ancient methods. As a result, the misunderstanding arose because the methods such as dividing the land equally were similar to modern ones.

This guy should be the same.

He thought so.

There cannot be two time travellers.

Then the emperor began to order the formation of Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps.

He ordered that local landowners be allowed to organize group training.

He allowed the locals to take control of the military.
To be continued...
