Chapter 140 Li Zicheng, I didn't expect you to betray the revolution with your thick eyebrows and bi
Although the pressurized water well is simple, it is the simplest and most practical. For farmers who need to use a wheel to lift water, it is already considered a black technology.
Well, it's black technology itself.
The rubber sheet was released three hundred years later.
As for this thing, the pumping capacity is poor, but it is enough. In fact, this thing was originally available in rural China in history, almost every household in the end. Not only that, it is even used on the arid grasslands in the north, including the mountainous areas, and it can be seen everywhere, like cockroaches to adapt to almost all environments. Even after the water pump has flooded into disaster, many places can still see it silently waiting for the moment of power outage.
More importantly, it is low cost!
Of course, the cost of this thing is actually not something that is affordable for extremely poor farmers.
For those farmers whose hoe is considered a huge investment, manual water pressing machines are definitely expensive luxury goods, let alone digging wells. And Yang Feng is not able to make plastic pipes for them at present, so they can only use specially-fired pottery pipes, which greatly increases its cost. You should know that for farmers in this era, even a bowl is very expensive, and there are not many families who can make one bowl for each person. This is not the ancient times when fresh people come up with them. In fact, most families cannot even match the clothes for their own family members.
Hunger and cold are not a simple adjective. Many people who freeze to death in winter are not because they are too cold, but because they really have no clothes to wear.
So it can only be given to the emperor.
"One village has one set, and the water well and water press will be sent after the partition."
Yang Feng said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The directors of the imperial house said excitedly.
"Your Majesty, the urgent comment from the King of Tang."
At this moment, Liang Cheng took a memorial and delivered it to Yang Feng in front of him and said.
"King Tang, what's wrong with Jiangnan?"
Yang Feng said unexpectedly.
Because his occupied area has been expanded to Shandong, the situation of isolation between north and south in the past will not occur when winter is winter. Although the ships sailing against the wind in winter are slow, there is no problem sending letters from Fujian to the coast of Shandong. After Hangzhou fell, Ningbo fell immediately. The Tang King has retreated to Fuzhou. In fact, Jiangnan still has a large territory under the banner of the Ming Dynasty. The frontline of the front is Wenzhou, southern Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, and Yunnan and Guizhou are still under the Ming Dynasty. Even some parts of Hunan are under the control of He Tengjiao who is unwilling to surrender to Li Zicheng.
Moreover, because Wu Sangui's army crossed the Yellow River, Li Zicheng had to stop the continued attack to the south. Even he himself returned to Nanjing, including Liu Fangliang, a large number of elite Shun Army and the main forces of Zuo Liangyu's subordinates were mobilizing to the north. Once Wu Sangui's army seized Henan, or even if it only occupied Luoyang and Xiangyang, it would be a huge trouble for Li Zicheng, because in that case, his connection with his hometown in Guanzhong would be cut off.
Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong had a bad relationship, and the two sides were actually in war, so his connection with Guanzhong was only based on the reliance on the Wuhan Dao and Wuguan Dao.
As long as the Ming army passed Nanyang, he would be the second Dorgon.
The Ming army would block his hundreds of thousands of troops between the Jianghuai just like the old, weak, sick and disabled who seized Jinzhou Guangning and blocked Dorgon in the pass, and then happily bullied the old, weak, sick and disabled army in Liaodong. They would happily beat Liu Zongmin, who was left in Guanzhong, and by the way, they would copy the 70 million taels of silver that he had copied from Beijing but was useless. Although Liu Zongmin had a 50,000 army under his command, they were all old, weak, sick and disabled. In terms of strength, they were even worse than Li Guo. Before, he was actually angry by Li Zicheng and then rushed back to his hometown to stay. In order to prevent him from rebelling, Li Zicheng certainly could not give him the real main force.
Once the Ming army resolved Li Guo, Guanzhong would inevitably be in danger.
Therefore, at this time, Li Zicheng would never continue to attack south. He had to block the Ming army in Henan.
"Did Li Zicheng go crazy too?"
While speaking, Yang Feng opened the memorial.
Then he just took a look and threw it to Li Yutian. Just as the Chief Li was reading the memorial, His Majesty the Emperor said something no one understood.
"Li Zicheng, I didn't expect that you, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also betray the revolution!"
The content of the memorial is very simple.
Former Minister of Rites Qian Qianyi surrendered to Li Zicheng and was appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Tianyou Palace.
Donglin Party and Li Zicheng merged.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Yang Feng understood everything. First of all, Li Zicheng had already robbed enough. He robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed. However, Li Zicheng may not have seen these two places. He knew that the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed all the robbed.
Then what he needs next is to stabilize the regime.
After all, Yang Feng has already begun to go south.
Even Dorgon was defeated, and of course he understood the terror of this enemy. He needed a stable rear to fight Yang Feng. With his mind, if he wanted to stabilize the regime, he would definitely not be able to come up with any real good things. No matter how he beautified, he was just a bandit with huge limitations. His thoughts could not be very advanced. Therefore, the method of stabilizing the regime he could think of would definitely not escape the ancient emperors and gentry that jointly ruled the world. In this way, he needed the Donglin Party, and he wanted to transform into a saint lord and wise monarch. He needed the gentry from Jiangnan to support him in confrontation with Yang Feng.
And what about the Donglin Party, or the gentry of Jiangnan it represents?
They also need a new protector.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty had no hope. He was doing evil in the north and was almost at the point of anger between man and god. The dog emperor was too mentally stimulating, which led to mental disorder, moral loss and human nature, and he became Jie and Zhou. No gentleman could be with him anymore. Moreover, he lost the value of salvation. Even Yan Shenggong dared to arrest him and be a slave. Such an emperor would be jealous of death. As for the Dorgon, the gentry's favorite, it was worthless. The Jiang family was lonely in a corner and Zhang Xianzhong was locked in Sichuan and could not get out. The only choice they could choose was Li Zicheng.
Although Li Zicheng just snatched them.
But Li Zicheng only needs money, but the emperor not only needs money but also needs land!
That land is the lifeblood of the gentry!
If you lose money, you can make money again, but if you lose the land, you will really lose it. Now, the two evils are the least. Li Zicheng is still a person who can transform it, not as hopeless as the dog emperor. As long as he can protect his own land, his privileges, and then accumulate wealth again, it will only take some time. The gentry in Jiangnan still understands this very clearly.
So the two sides hit it off.
Under Zuo Liangyu's traction, Qian Qianyi was summoned by Li Zicheng. Then, the poet Qian and Li Zicheng had a long talk. Finally, he tamed the beast in Li Zicheng's heart with his noble personality and outstanding talent. From then on, he suddenly realized that he regretted his past. Not only did he appoint Qian Qianyi as the Grand Secretary of the Tianyou Hall, but he also issued an order to summon the wise men of the previous dynasty to prepare for important tasks. At the same time, he ordered the army in Jiangnan to strictly enforce military discipline. Anyone who invaded the people would not be punished, and even several were killed. In short, the dawn of the lord saint ministers rose slowly in the land of Jiangnan, preparing to fight against the darkness spreading from the north with the power of light.
After all, this is all the evil committed by the dog emperor himself. He forced many loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty to surrender. Why can't he continue to be a saint lord and wise monarch like in the past?
"Hmph, a group of traitors!"
Yang Feng said viciously.
"Transfer an order to Du Yinxi, and ask him to take Dorgon here quickly. I want all the traitors to see what will happen if they dare to fight against me."
He continued.
Of course, he was still very happy about this kind of thing, which means that after he killed Li Zicheng, he could have a lot of debts waiting to be collected. Recently, the officials have paid him more than 5 million taels one after another. After Li Zicheng searched and spent a lot of money to resist him, these guys could still get so much, which really made His Majesty the Emperor amazed at the ability of those gentry to hide their wealth.
In addition to what Zheng Zhilong sent to him, and what Lu Jiude scraped him when he escaped, Yang Feng had already raised ten million taels of silver and gold reserves for his People's Bank of China.
These silver and gold guarantee the issuance of paper money.
Because of his own credibility, there is almost no resistance to the issuance of paper money among the people. This red banknote with his avatar is habitually called imperial banknotes by the people. The face value is divided into one yuan, one hundred, fifty, twenty, ten, five, two, one penny, and can be exchanged for a silver dollar, that is, a tael of silver coins minted. The emperor's avatar can be exchanged for a smallest copper coin. At present, government procurement, all paying money to officials and soldiers is paper money, and can be exchanged for free at the bank or used to pay taxes to the government. One dollar banknotes are printed on modern paper. Although other banknotes are made from paper from this era, they are also specially made by the royal paper mill and printed with modern ink. There is no need to worry about man making fakes. The images are simple, but those who make fakes cannot make modern paper anyway, and they cannot make modern ink colors.
However, due to insufficient reserves, his banknotes were not issued much. After all, he only had eight million taels of silver. In the early stage of banknoteization, he did not dare to really let go of his hands no matter what.
He needs a lot of gold and silver.
If the gentry in Jiangnan did not surrender to Li Zicheng and continued to follow the Ming Dynasty, it would be difficult for him to put his face down, but now all the problems have been solved, and when his army recovers Nanjing...
"Another order is issued, all those who dare to cooperate with the rebellion will be dealt with according to the northern rules!"
