After destroying Huang Taiji and annexing North Korea, the only thing that affected Wang Yan was that the territory was too large, management was poor, and his control over the local area was reduced. If the people who were responsible for the trouble could not be killed immediately, how much impact would there be? Social stability has been achieved. Other issues such as an increase in population of one million or so are basically not a big problem.

The hard slaves are taking advantage of the warm weather to work, and are seizing the time to build the road in three sections from Shenyang all the way to the Outer Xing'an Mountains and Eastern Siberia. Women and children married to the government may not adapt to it at first, but as long as they go through a period In the steady days of time, few people want to go back to the way they were before. Of course they will remember it, but mostly for the sweetness.

The biggest problem at this stage is that these women and children are foreign barbarians. Although Wang Yan has been emphasizing it, the civilian male old bachelors under Wang Yan are still not very friendly to these women and children, and they often shout, beat and scold them. Now. Now In addition to promoting the law, the Security Department's job is to beat men. Anyone who does not live a good life with the women and children assigned by the government, domestic violence, will be severely beaten once, and will be directly forced into hard labor for three years the second time...

The land in the entire Northeast, including the Outer Xing'an Mountains and Eastern Siberia, cannot be cultivated by the more than 10 million people under his command...

Of course, no matter how much land there is, Wang Yan will not practice private ownership. He knows the dangers. No matter how much land there is, he can't resist the greed of people. Therefore, all the land on his territory belongs to him, the farmer. The developed land is tax-free for three years, and after three years, it is taxed one-tenth. If the farmer dies, the land under his name will be inherited by his children paying a portion of the land tax, which is basically passed down from generation to generation.

In the future, he will even have to consider issues such as low rice hurting farmers and natural disasters reducing production. However, these things will later become mature and feasible, and he can just follow them. If rice is cheap, he will determine the standard price every year, purchase it financially, and then supply it to the market. Chang Pingcang stores grain, makes wine and other matters. If there is a natural disaster, he will directly provide financial subsidies and make sure that farmers are not allowed to lose their homes and sell their land.

The land belongs to his king, and can be leased or contracted, but there is absolutely no sale or purchase. Whoever dares to take advantage of the land will have his whole family work until death, and finally be buried in the soil to fertilize and nourish the magnificent mountains and rivers.

It was also when Wang Yan was digesting the population that the people in the pass became more and more ruthless, and the leaders of the peasant armies from all walks of life became kings one after another.

Multiple peasant armies have joined together to fight to the death with Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others who have come to power in recent years. Since the peasant army has been doing this for more than ten years, plus the regular army that surrendered and other things, its combat effectiveness is not bad. And the regular army Due to factors such as lack of food and wages, war weariness, etc., the combat effectiveness has dropped a lot. For a while, it was still a little bit unable to defeat this gang of peasant soldiers who were wandering around to commit crimes. Not to mention that they were defeated across the board, but it was still very difficult.

At the same time, Wang Yan was instigating from behind, and the rebels led by him there reached Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong. The overall situation was to surround Beizhili. Although the regular army resisted tenaciously, It could not stop the peasant armies from all walks of life from marching towards the capital.

Finally, in October of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, people from all walks of life gathered around the capital to completely end this empire that had lasted for more than two hundred years.

This offensive and defensive battle in the capital lasted for half a month, and the final outcome was naturally without any surprises. Zhu Youjian killed his wife and daughter, and asked his confidants to protect the prince and fled south. As early as before, many members of the Ming Dynasty clan,

The loyal ministers and their families have already gone south.

Although the time was advanced by more than two years, Zhu Youjian still covered his face with hair and hanged himself in Meishan Mountain as in history. The old eunuch Wang Chengen, a loyal servant, was also buried with him.

Similarly, as the capital city was breached, many people still followed Zhu Youjian...

What is different from history is that Li Zicheng originally conquered the capital by himself and restrained his subordinates for a period of time, telling them not to disturb the people and plunder. But now it is a group of kings who work together to do it, so the officials and people of the capital

He was robbed immediately, and this responsibility belongs to Wang Yan...

It is also because people from all walks of life fought against the capital together. Now that the Ming emperor is dead, the Ming Dynasty will naturally end. So who is the big brother here in the world is the most important question at this stage.

They all came out of rebellion, and now they are sharing the fruits of victory, and no one is willing to give it up to others. As a result, these people began to fight for power among themselves, fighting openly and secretly, and no one wanted to be subordinate to others. Problems at the top penetrated into the lower levels, and a bunch of people burned, killed and looted most of them.

The soldiers also dislike each other, no matter how stupid they are, they know that only when their eldest brother is in power, he is the most powerful to them. So they will fight from time to time, and it is common for people to die.

Just when the conflicts between these people were getting deeper and deeper, like a bomb waiting for a small spark to explode, news came from the north, diverting their attention. Everyone knew that Wang Yan was a powerful opponent, holding dozens of

Thousands of troops. We will talk about the future later. Now they must work together to defeat Wang Yan. They can't let Wang Yan pick the fruit after all their hard work.

It was already October when Wang Yan received the news that Zhu Youjian had hanged himself at Meishan. Wang Yan had been waiting for this day for fifteen years... even though his state of mind had long been undisturbed by external objects.

He knew that such a day would come, but this one really broke through the defense. Wang Yan was quite excited when he thought of taking control of the Central Plains, being a loner and overwhelming the world...

This is also the case. When Wang Yan received the news, he issued several military and political orders immediately. He himself told his women to pack up and prepare to move, and then he took a thousand personal guards and quickly took them.

Go to Qiantun.

After unifying the northern land outside the Pass, Wang Yan gradually hoarded troops and horses in the bordering areas along the Great Wall. Outside the Great Wall, there was mostly grassland, and then there was the Gobi. Regardless of whether it was grassland or Gobi, everyone was surnamed Wang. His westernmost point

Its tentacles have reached the Western Region, which is today’s Xinjiang Autonomous Region.

His arrangement was divided into five routes, with 30,000 soldiers on each route, crossing the Great Wall directly to Shanxi, Hetao Plain, Ningxia Wei and other places. Counting the 50,000 soldiers and horses stationed on Dudu Road in Qiantun under his personal control, there were a total of 200,000 soldiers.

, moved all the way south, and immediately controlled the four northern provinces.

He did not move the navy because he had already mobilized some of his soldiers back. If he mobilized warships to land on the coast for a raid, although it was indeed faster, the damage to his overseas interests would be relatively large, and the gain would be more than worth the loss. Lu

He is invincible, just slowly fight south.

He received the news on October 22, when King Tian came to Qiantun.

On the 23rd, the rested troops and horses marched directly to Shanhaiguan Pass, and entered the pass without any hindrance to Yongping Mansion, where Sun Chengzong was planning.

In Shanhaiwei, later Qinhuangdao City, Sun Chengzong was grieving for the fall of the Ming Dynasty. He was not surprised when he saw Wang Yan pushing the door open and even glared at Wang Yan.

Wang Yan said: "Old Sun, what's that look in your eyes? I admit that I was the reason why the Ming Dynasty fell. But even without me, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty still fall? What's more, I can take over the world much better than foreigners, right?

"

Of course Sun Chengzong knew that Daming could not be saved, but he still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable: "Congratulations, it's not in vain that you have been running for more than ten years. You finally got what you wanted."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "What do you think? Are you going to work with me for a few years, or are you just going to retire like this?"

"I'll forget it..." Sun Chengzong shook his head and sighed: "This world belongs to you young people. My old bones are about to be buried in the ground. I will take good care of myself and try to live for a few more years. Looking at you

How capable is the number one rebel?"

Wang Yan lazily followed the dying old man and said, "Then are you going to the capital with me, a rebel, or are you staying here?"

"The late emperor trusted me and asked me to station here just to prevent you from going south. Now that you have arrived in my study silently, how can I have the dignity to go to the capital?"

"Yes, it's up to you. This is our farewell. If you don't go to the capital, we probably won't be able to see each other... Live well and see how I, a warrior and rebel, rule the world."

After saying that, Wang Yan turned around and waved his hand without looking back: "Let's go..."

He had time to stop by to see that Sun Chengzong was in good condition. His 50,000 soldiers did not stop. After helping to suppress the ignorant people in Yongping Mansion, they marched directly into the city.

Sun Chengzong sat in a chair blankly, looking at the bright sky outside, speechless for a long time...

After Wang Yan left Yongping Mansion, other troops along the Great Wall also got the news and crossed the Great Wall southward. Those who were corroded by them would go more smoothly. Those who were not corroded would stick to the city gate and not let them go.

Just launch an artillery bombardment. At this time, the Ming Dynasty is gone, and those who are still resisting are obviously dangerous elements who want to separate one side and kill them directly.

For the ordinary people who died in this process, Wang Yan could only say sorry. How can there be no undead people in a war? What's more, this is the time to compete in the Central Plains and win the world. Everyone who stands in front of him must die.

Of course, Wang Yan's murderous nature is definitely not that great. Except for the first wave of people who were killed in order to establish their power, the rest were weaponized and imprisoned in a centralized place. They will be used as hard labor in the future.

After 1,800 people stabilized the order in the city, the large army marched directly along the established route.

After a few good days when the news reached the capital, and a group of peasant soldiers were fighting among themselves, the team led by Wang Yan was already less than 500 miles away from the capital.

In the face of a formidable enemy, internal disputes should be put aside first, and defeating Wang Yan should be the first priority.

Therefore, the peasant army from all walks of life, totaling more than 200,000 people, did not choose to defend the city. Instead, they went to Tongzhou, fifty miles outside the city, to fight in the field with the 50,000 soldiers brought by Wang Yan...

On November 3, the success was far beyond Wang Yan's expectation. Before, he thought it would take half a month, but in fact, it only took eleven days to get to Tongzhou even after fighting and taking the city and taking rest.

.

The cities he encountered on the road did not waste much effort, and basically surrendered directly. Wang Yan can guarantee that although he infiltrated here, he definitely did not bribe these civil and military officials, and they all surrendered directly.

In fact, it's normal to think about it. Now in the entire pass, from south to north, from east to west, the most capable army is Sun Chengzong's men in Yongping Prefecture. Although there were still many people in order to suppress the peasant army before,

They were stationed there to prevent Wang Yan from going south. Now that Wang Yan has led his people to the city, it is self-evident. Either Sun Chengzong died in the battle or Sun Chengzong surrendered, then there is no point in resisting them.

.

Moreover, a country cannot live without a king for a day. Compared with those peasant armies, Wang Yan seems to be a better choice. Basically, anyone who cares knows what level of development Wang Yan is there. After all, Wang Yan can't help asking others to find out.

, just take a look. So the generals know how Wang Yan's officers and soldiers are treated, and how he treats his subordinates. The civil servants know that Wang Yan's men are in dire need of management talents, so they are needed.

Although the knowledge taught by Wang Yan's territory and the girls who entered the school are somewhat disrespectful of saints and etiquette. But it doesn't matter. They will teach the people named Wang in the future, teach and educate people, and they are the best in governing the world.

The one who is good at it. This world will belong to those named Wang, and it will also belong to us, but in the end it will be ours...

When he arrived in Tongzhou, he saw a huge crowd waiting for him in formation on the other side. Did Wang Yan really want to interview them? Has he always been so brave?

In order to prevent these people from losing money, slaughtering the city and causing destruction, Wang Yan had someone shoot a letter in the past. The main message was to warn them not to set fire to the Forbidden City or anything like that. Once they did such an action, they would be scratched and cramped...

What followed was a one-sided battle, basically a massacre. Fire a few rounds of artillery, a few rounds of gunfire at close range, and 10,000 cavalry charge back and forth a few times to end the battle...

Of course, someone set fire to the Forbidden City. Perhaps Wang Yan's words had the opposite effect. If he didn't say it, these people hadn't remembered it yet. They remembered it as soon as he said it and couldn't leave it to Wang Yan...

In fact, even if Wang Yan didn't say anything, given the conduct of these people, he would definitely have set fire to it. The reason why he reminded him was just in case. In fact, when he wrote the letter, he had already thought of this rebellion.

The mentality is quite good, but the problem is not big, just rebuild it and it's over. I have plenty of money...

Of course, Wang Yan also kept his word. After investigating and finding out which group of people they were from, the 10,000 cavalrymen were ignored and the leader and other high-level officials were captured, and they were beheaded alive at the Huangji Gate in the Forbidden City for three days.

night……

As for the peasant armies, Wang Yan except for the 10,000 soldiers who stayed in the capital to maintain order, the other 40,000 soldiers were well-versed in the route and chased away a bunch of peasant soldiers like dogs.

Wang Yan's order is to drive these people to the southern region north of the Huaihe River. Although his hard power is fully capable of deciding the outcome in a single battle, he cannot govern it and it is useless to defeat him. It is the area north of the Huaihe River that he wants to digest.

It will take some time to be complete and serious.

Besides, the gentry and landowners in the south are so powerful that Wang Yan must let the peasant army harm them again. As a result, Wang Yan can’t control the civilians who died in the war, and they will have to go through this. If he really gives in

If he took action himself, more people would die. After all, it is best for these illiterate civilians to instigate. Once they are taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, Wang Yan will also kill them, and he will kill them even more ruthlessly.

Although Wang Yan did not deal with the peasant army in a short period of time, they could not escape in the end. This group of people managed to survive until they ran to Champa and other places in the south, which is today's East Asia Five, along the coastal areas over there.

Basically it all belongs to Wang Yan... So in the end, they can't take anything away from their wealth except what they eat in their stomachs, and the hundreds of thousands of people have to do hard labor until they die to atone for their sins.

There's nothing wrong with rebelling if you can't survive. They'll all end up dead anyway. But they more or less have the lives of civilians in their hands, so it's wrong to cause enough trouble to a bunch of civilians. Wang Yan has a double standard. He commits murder and has an excuse.

, and he didn’t harm the people. It was just a matter of others killing him. After all, he had the final say because he had big fists...

It took Wang Yan half a year to initially capture the entire area north of the Huaihe River and achieve stability in most areas. It would take even longer to resume production and construction.

After suppressing the noisy voices of his subordinates who wanted to claim the title of emperor, Wang Yan began to manage the territory instead.
To be continued...
