Chapter 143 One year later

Time slowly slipped by.

In a blink of an eye, it was 1645 AD.

In the original history, the Ming Dynasty had already fallen, and the Southern Ming was struggling to support it in the south. Duoduo led his troops to attack Yangzhou City, and began the most terrifying ten days of Yangzhou, and the massacres were slaughtered for ten days. Then in the south, a bloody massacre began.

Li Zicheng was defeated by the Qing Dynasty and died on Jiugong Mountain.

In history, the general trend of the Qing Dynasty unifying the world has emerged and no one can resist it.

The entire Central Plains and the entire China began a nightmare that lasted for more than 200 years!

However, due to He Xuan's existence, history has changed.

Although the Qing Dynasty had 100,000 soldiers, it did not come up with a way to restrain He Xuan, and it was still honestly staying outside the pass.

Although the Ming Dynasty was weak, Emperor Chongzhen was not dead after all. In addition to being the great name of Emperor Chongzhen, he was still living in a weak position.

Li Zicheng's gang returned to Shaanxi after being defeated by Beijing. The middle and high-level generals in his army were almost dead. In the end, they stayed honestly and did not develop much in a short period of time. Moreover, Li Zicheng sent many spies to investigate He Xuan's movements and had made up his mind that as long as He Xuan brought the Ming army, they would leave immediately.

That battle left a deep impression on Li Zicheng.

Zhang Xianzhong, the King of the Great Western Region in Shuzhong, was shocked when he saw Li Zicheng being taught this lesson. He believed in the evil of He Xuan, the divine general, and his activities were much narrower and he became much more honest.

It was really... a calm.

And everyone in the world is paying attention to He Xuan.

I want to see why this person has been silent for a year, what will he do?

...

In the city of Beijing.

"Here, this is your lunch, this is mine." The girl who spoke, dressed like snow, black as ink, smooth and gorgeous. Her slightly raised face was exquisite and transparent, and she was as beautiful as a fairy.

She handed a lunch to He Xuan and opened a lunch herself.

"Isn't it good? It's the secret lamb leg made by your palace. I love this sip. And this wine tastes good." He Xuan habitually took the lunch box from Princess Changping's hand.

Although, at the beginning, He Xuan was resistant to Princess Changping.

A true strong man must be dispelled from his emotions.

I want to be the strongest person in the world, not close to women.

However, over the past year, Princess Changping has delivered food every now and then. Many of them are secret delicacies made by the palace, and the taste is really good. Gradually, He Xuan slowly refused.

Gradually, I got used to having lunch together.

Although the two have not yet decided on their status, basically, this is a recognized couple. They are just about to get married.

He Xuan couldn't help but sigh, what about his love-breaking nature?

He Xuan drank wine with great pleasure and glanced at the beautiful girl next to him: "Hey, your brows are furrowing, what are you worried about?"

"Actually it's not my business, it's my father's business. My father now needs to train troops, guarding against the Qing army while guarding against Li Zicheng. However, training requires food and salary, but the annual treasury is more than four million taels, and the court itself has to spend money, and in the end, even the salary for training troops cannot be collected."

"There is only one way to increase the salary to the people, but the father also knows that in addition to the normal taxes, there are three salarys for the people. I really can't hold on and can't increase the salary. The national treasury is really out of money."

The three taxes refer to the collective name of the three taxes: Liao taxes, suppression taxes and training taxes that were added to the late Ming Dynasty.

Princess Changping is not the kind of girl who only has romantic love.

She was born in the imperial family and was the eldest princess of Chongzhen. She also knew a lot about national affairs.

Usually, He Xuan’s relationship with her is often discussed with national affairs rather than romance.

"No money, nothing can be done."

"Yes." Princess Changping nodded repeatedly.

"Actually, I know where I have money." He Xuan said after taking a sip of wine.

"Where is rich?" Princess Changping's eyes immediately turned into an asterisk. She listened to her father's sigh every day and said she had no money. Now when she heard that she had money, her eyes couldn't help but bend, very beautiful.

"Officials, the money hidden in these officials in Beijing is afraid of being 60 to 70 million taels. Do you believe it?" He Xuan smiled.

"The officials are greedy, so they know that they are greedy. But they are greedy for 60 million taels, so this is impossible." Princess Changping's little mouth was opened very much.

"Hehe, this is why you underestimate their ability to embezzle. It is definitely more than this, not less than this."

This is also a historical fact. In the original history, Li Zicheng entered Beijing and searched the houses of these ministers one by one, and found six or seventy million taels of silver, which scared Li Zicheng himself.

Princess Changping was still a little stunned. She must have believed He Xuan's words, but six or seventy million taels are too big. The national treasury only has three or four million taels of silver a year, which is equivalent to more than ten years of treasury income. Is this possible?

"I will solve the problem of the treasury's shortage of money. I have long wanted to confront these bureaucrats." He Xuan sneered.

Princess Changping has been with Emperor Chongzhen for so long, and she knows that the bureaucrats are not so easy to deal with. Even the father is known as the emperor, but he is also troubled by these bureaucrats.

"Bureauts, a single body is nothing? But if they become a group, their strength is not even as good as the emperor. The father has been powerless many times. If you want to deal with these bureaucrats, can you accept the counterattack of the bureaucrats?" Princess Changping looked at He Xuan seriously with beautiful eyes.

"Haha, of course I can accept the counterattack of the bureaucratic system. I have not been a waste of money this year. I have been preparing a world-invincible killing weapon this year. Now, the killing weapon has been trained. Now, the Qing Dynasty, which has more than 100,000 soldiers, Li Zicheng, who has defeated Shaanxi, or Zhang Xianzhong, who is staying in Shu, are not my opponents. I am already invincible in the world."

"No matter how the bureaucrats counterattack, they cannot be my opponent." He Xuan sneered.

Hearing He Xuan's words so confident, Princess Changping was stunned, and her beautiful eyes flashed with an incredible look: "A Xuan, are you already invincible in the world? Even the more than 100,000 soldiers from the Qing Dynasty are not your opponent?"

"Of course." He Xuan sneered: "I think there are two things to kill in today's world."

"The first thing to be killed is the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty is a complete barbarian. They kept carrying out massacres, and they interrupted the inheritance of Chinese civilization."

"The second one to be killed are the corrupt officials of the Ming Dynasty. If they hadn't been oppressing and exploiting the people, would the world of the Ming Dynasty be so devastated?"

"The Qing Dynasty is a little far away."

"The corrupt officials in Beijing are close."

"I am already invincible in the world, first fight against these corrupt officials, and then destroy the Qing Dynasty."

When He Xuan said this, his sharpness was revealed.

The world is invincible!

Then it will naturally cause trouble!
