Chapter 2546 Meteor falls from the sky
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 time, war broke out everywhere.
The emperor’s traveler suddenly found himself unstable in the south of the Yangtze River.
A private salt dealer took up 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 Tong Sheng, those talented people 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 fail the exams all year round, and many of them have long been resentful and angry about the imperial examinations.
In particular, many people think they are qualified for a long time, but because they have no money to manage, they have nothing to do, so they fail to pass the exam to be a scholar or a candidate.
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.
And 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 potential rules of the scholars.
The first place I ordered failed...
What does this mean?
Is my taste so bad?
To know that the official county magistrate must be at least a top three scholar.
You can also become a county magistrate, but you cannot 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 for old students, some read it stupidly, and some read it 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 will 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, classmates, 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?
So 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.
Just after the news of the defeat came, they immediately began to mobilize troops to launch a rebellion.
They will 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, those who are full of resentment.
And the proportion of these people far exceeds those who pass the exam.
Winning the imperial examination 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 end of the dynasty. Any rebel does 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 to let everyone into the monarch's pocket.
In this way, the refugee army fought in Jiangnan with overwhelming force.
One by one, 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 into orthodoxy.
The emperor's 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 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 natives?
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 traveler.
For example, ensuring economic circulation, creating a large number of jobs, and issuing currency linked to food.
All in all, he looked weird.
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 those in modern times.
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 to allow local landowners to start group training.
He is allowing local people to take control of the military.
For a time, it caused a lot of opposition from the court.
The emperor despised this.
Others are going to rebel, and the dynasty is going to be doomed.
You are still thinking about stories from the Han and Tang Dynasties.
I also thought that warlord separatism would affect the court.
Even if the warlords divide the country, the meat will rot in the pot in the end.
At least there is a possibility of exterminating the previous royal family, but it is definitely not as big as the aliens.
He must decisively delegate power.
This move has many consequences.
But I have to say it is also very effective.
Soon, many noble families started group training.
They are more inclined to maintain their previous status than to join the refugee travelers.
This is very simple. The land deed was issued by the previous dynasty.
Will the new dynasty recognize it?
Even if they admit it, the official positions in the new dynasty are occupied by newcomers, and their status is not guaranteed.
But in this way, once these aristocratic families gain military power, they will easily produce warlords.
The later Qing Dynasty is the most typical example.
To be honest, those warlords after the Qing Dynasty had a lot to do with these aristocratic families.
Many warlords can be traced back to the time when they organized group training.
The famous Beiyang came from the Huai army.
Now these people will choose to surrender to the emperor temporarily, but when they grow stronger later, their ambitions will inevitably grow as well.
They will collude together to fight against the imperial court.
They will not participate in the war to save the dynasty.
At this time, their warlord nature is revealed.
Soon the emperor's time traveler dealt with the situation like this.
At the same time step up your own development.
His development is also rapid.
After all, he has the advantage of status.
As long as the emperor is shameless, there are still many ways to make money.
For example, the simplest trick is to directly sell your official position and confiscate your home.
Of course the premise is to promote a group of new people who are loyal to themselves.
There are relatively few involvements, and he is willing to work hard for himself.
Time passes quickly. This world of dynastic hegemony was gradually thrown into chaos by Wu Zetian.
It was originally the emperor's crushing game.
The result was a situation where the two parties were evenly matched.
In fact, it is impossible for the refugee time traveler to be the emperor's opponent.
Both sides are time travelers, and their qualities are almost the same.
How can we still fight when there is such a big gap in status between them?
The results are good. With Wu Zetian's operation, the refugee time travelers have considerable advantages.
Just being lucky and not dying in an accident is enough for the other party to mess around.
Moreover, the other party also gained valuable practical experience.
This is something that the emperor's time traveler cannot have.
Then the two sides developed a competition with each other.
Finally the day of the real battle has arrived.
The emperor's time traveler had to send out new troops to suppress the food in the southeast.
One side has 70,000 new troops, the core elite is 40,000, and the other 30,000 are auxiliary troops.
But they all have enough food and money.
Only relying on this, the combat power can crush other imperial teams.
Behind the scenes were various raids by the emperor, which offended many ministers and squires.
In order to obtain money, the emperor also carefully used the method of confiscating homes.
At the same time, he promoted some lucky ministers and made money for him.
Of course the most important thing is to use the confidants he has trained personally when searching his home.
And these confidants are well fed, and his family and children are in his hands.
In this case, at least the tragedy of 13.8 million taels turning into 38 taels will not happen.
Probably it will become four million taels.
They get 70% and the emperor gets 30%.
This is already pretty good.
Real financial and tax distribution, it would be great if the emperor could make a profit.
Because most of it goes into the treasury, but most of what goes into the treasury goes into the pockets of officials.
This is the real scene in the last years of the dynasty.
The emperor's 70,000 new troops are already very good.
At least it is invincible.
However, the refugee travelers on the opposite side are not vegetarians either.
He has an army of 250,000!
Three times the opponent's strength.
Of course, more than 150,000 people are mixed soldiers, refugees who come here under threat.
He knew this was what he had to do when facing the imperial power.
Use ordinary refugees to consume the opponent's physical strength.
Then use gold and silver to seduce the opponent's soldiers into chaos.
The last step is to fight back.
But this skill is not useful for those alien races.
Because the latter's military discipline is too strict, they can kill without any restrictions.
But you must not grab money on the battlefield.
Once committed, you will be killed.
The battle between the two armies, everyone thought it was an earth-shattering battle, at least a fight to the death.
One side is 70,000, and the other side is more than 200,000.
And if you look closely, you can see that the elites on both sides are very well trained.
Wen Rensheng raised his eyes and looked up.
Nod slightly.
It seems that these are two qualified time travellers.
At least the training team is elite enough.
At this time, Xiao Huan suddenly appeared.
Holding the skewers in one hand and Kuoluo in the other.
"Dad, dad, you see they are going to fight."
"Let's make a bet on them, who can win between them?"
Wen Rensheng smiled when he heard this.
“I will not gamble in this kind of gambling that is controlled by people.”
“You must remember to never participate in a gambling game controlled by the banker.”
< br>"There are so many liars, why do you believe that others will let you take the money away?"
Xiao Huan rolled his big eyes and said: "I think that emperor can win."
< br>
"Why?"
"To defeat more with less, his troops will be more elite, and if he fights rebellion with submissiveness, he will definitely win."
Wen Rensheng suddenly laughed.
“Hahaha, you are still too young.”
“Humph, I must be right.”
As a result, after the two armies faced each other, they set up camps separately and did not immediately enter the battle.
But that night.
Several fireballs suddenly appeared in the night sky and directly hit the camp of the Emperor's Traveler!
More than 70,000 people!
That’s more than 70,000 people!
After just a moment, the birds and beasts dispersed!
What an emperor, what loyalty, what money and food.
In the face of this huge natural disaster, everything is in vain!
“This is a punishment from heaven!”
“This is heaven. People are angry and resentful, and the dynasty is going to be destroyed!”
"Damn it, why? Is this the end of our Daqian Dynasty?"
There are also some loyal ministers and good generals who just stand in the camp and will not leave unless they run away.
Watch the meteorites fall!
More and more loyal soldiers cried and fled with their men.
Unfortunately, how can this be done in time?
When you see a meteorite landing, if it is coming towards you, then you basically cannot escape its killing range.
Unless you are lucky enough, this meteorite turns a corner.
And just like that, several meteorites fell.
The whole battle ended in an anticlimactic manner.
No one thought of it beforehand.
In this way, the Jiangnan rebel army successfully defeated the elite army sent by the emperor.
That’s an army of 70,000.
No matter which dynasty it is placed in, it is a very precious force that can determine the fate of a force.
That is to say, in modern times, there was a general mobilization system that could mobilize millions of troops. The losses in a war could easily reach millions.
And only when the quality of all the soldiers is about the same can you feel that this loss is nothing.
However, only a few are elite.
A true loss of 70,000 elites is enough to affect the direction of a battle.
Li Zicheng fought against the Manchus, and the battle that determined the fate of Great Xia for hundreds of years was only 60,000 versus hundreds of thousands.
And when the news was rushed 800 miles, it reached the emperor.
The emperor vomited blood on the spot.
"Why why? Is this really going to kill me?"
"Damn, what is this!"
He had read in history that Wang Mang's army was hit by a large meteorite. , he thought it was just a made-up story.
At most it is just a coincidence.
And now he finally knew that there really was such a coincidence.
At the same time, the emperor's army was destroyed by meteorites falling from the sky.
For a while, many people thought that their destiny had changed, and they turned to the refugee time travelers one after another.
This refugee time traveler is also very happy.
"Hahaha, it seems that destiny is in me, destiny is really in me!"
He was very happy.
After working hard for so long, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After defeating the emperor, the whole of Jiangnan will be in the palm of your hand.
The next step is to vigorously improve harvesting efficiency and build more uniform teams.
Then he destroyed the imperial court in one fell swoop, and then destroyed the foreign races.
At the same time, we must vigorously promote marriage and trade, spread culture, and reduce the number of children.
He analyzed the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was able to win over foreign races from outside, through marriage and trade, as well as spreading culture and reducing the population.
Finally, it was ensured that the nomads who had caused trouble on the frontier in the past would no longer become a serious nuisance.
Of course, all of them are based on nearly a hundred years of fighting.
Without knives and horses, relying solely on marriage and trade, those soft measures will definitely not work.
From the perspective of nomads, how can trade and rewards be as much as what is stolen?
