Chapter 31

"General Li, please stop watching, go to the team quickly. The King of Chuang has already issued an order. If you and I delay, none of us can afford to take care of it."

Although Li Yan didn't want to go, even if he didn't go, they would go there in person when he saw the expressions of the soldiers around him.

They had a deep relationship with Li Zicheng, and they didn't care about the lives and deaths of the people in the capital.

Niu Jinxing glanced at the city wall and of course admired the prince.

It was obvious that I wanted to make a fortune, but I didn’t let my own people take action, so I had to borrow the hands of our trespassing army.

In the end, you took all the benefits, but we were the ones who suffered losses. It was really a scheming thing to leave the mess in Beijing to us.

But now is not the time to sigh, Niu Jinxing also caught up with the departing Li Yan, and he had to hurry up and make up the money. This was explained by the King of Chuang himself.

Li Zicheng, who was on the city wall, also breathed a sigh of relief. If there was a problem at this step, his head would be completely lost.

But suddenly he thought of another thing.

"Have you heard of it or met? Can you find 40 million taels of silver in this capital?"

Li Zicheng said with some concern.

According to what he knew, how much silver could be collected in the Ming Dynasty in a year? Can this city be plundered? If it could be plundered, why would Emperor Chongzhen have no silver?

"You just have 120 hearts. The capital city will definitely have these silver. Just trying hard to get the nobles, maybe you will have some hard work after finishing it."

Zhu Cixuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy. After throwing a few words, he went down to pack up his things. Everything in the imperial city had to be taken away, and nothing could be left for the Qing people.

Even if Zhu Cixuan can leave the capital, there will still be other things when he reaches the south.

According to the original history, everyone thought that the royal family in the capital could not be out, so the princes of the Ming Dynasty were ready to ascend the throne first. By the time we went there, we would have ascended the throne long ago...

The task is a long way to go!

The reason for this situation is that it is related to the feudal system of the Ming Dynasty.

There were vassal kings everywhere, so after the accident in the court, these guys did not think about saving the capital at the first time, but wanted to see if they could speculate on their own.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty implemented the two capital system and Nanjing also had a set of imperial courts, so as long as there were children of the royal family, they could immediately start to rule.

However, Zhu Cilang had nothing to be afraid of. If he couldn't deal with the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, it would be fine to deal with you, a group of mobs.

If we can't beat you, we can find a piece of tofu and kill yourself.

Now Zhu Cilang didn't care about them. After searching the palace, he climbed up to the city wall again and saw that there was a fire in the capital.

Originally, when Li Zicheng entered the city, many soldiers were preparing to start robbing, but because Li Zicheng's order was there, none of these people dared to take action.

They all made some small things in private, but now they have finally let go. How can they not robbery?

Many Ming officials who surrendered were the most depressed at the moment. They thought they had surrendered, so the whole family was safe.

Who knew that something happened again, and the door was directly knocked open. It would be fine if the people who came in just snatch things, but who knew that they would harm the women at home?

It would be okay if you don’t resist. If you resist, you will be immediately slashed with swords and swords. The whole family will give you some blood.

These people are extremely regretful at this moment. If they had been standing on the court, the whole family might be in the imperial city now, so why would they end up like this...

The soldiers and officials in the imperial city were shocked. They didn't know where the money came from.

Everyone thought that the capital had no money because Emperor Chongzhen had issued an order to borrow money from the ministers, but in the end he raised more than 100,000 taels of silver.

But the silver carts shipped here now are many times more than 100,000 taels of silver...

In fact, in the late Ming Dynasty, the emperor did not have much money, and all the money was in the hands of gentry and officials. However, Emperor Chongzhen could not make up his mind, otherwise he would have searched a few companies and was he afraid that there would be no military expenditure?

Zhu Cilang shook his head when he looked at it.

The finances of the Ming Dynasty were normal, and the people could still get through.

Who knew that due to the war in Liaodong, the court began to pay more than three additional salaries, and local officials also took the opportunity to ask for bribes. The people themselves were on the verge of hunger, and with frequent natural disasters, how could they eat?

When the people cannot have food, it is normal to rebel. When the court sees rebellion, it will immediately send troops to suppress it, and then taxes will be collected.

This is like a vicious cycle. The court collects taxes and the people have no money. The people rebel, the court suppresses them, and then the court collects taxes and then the people rebel...

In the end, the Ming Dynasty collapsed.

However, Zhu Cilang was not at all left. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the only place in the chaos of the Ming Dynasty was the north, and the south was still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the people there were still rich and there was no riot. Although there was only Jiangnan, if they could manage well, it would be impossible to turn the tables.

What's more, we have a system that has such advanced weapons, so we won't be afraid.

Zhu Cixuan's current strategy is to plunder the capital, then take the money to Jiangnan, and train troops based on Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

At the same time, expanding foreign trade will bring the economy of Jiangnan to a higher level. As for the northern region, we are powerless for the time being. Let Li Zicheng and the Qing people make trouble for a while.

Just as Zhu Cixuan was thinking about these issues, the generals under Li Zicheng were not idle either. Everyone had their own share. If they couldn't get it out, they would be disloyal to the King of Chuang.

Who dares not to work after this big hat is taken off? They also understand that ordinary people can’t rob a street, so they can’t rob much money.

The key point is all about these dignitaries. After robbing the house, they will torture them and spit out the last money.

It was so easy to betray the Ming Dynasty before, but now it is a punishment for you.

These people regret it now, but unfortunately there is no regret in this world. If anything, when Emperor Chongzhen raised the silver, they might have taken out the silver.
