Chongzhen fifteenth year

Outside Luoyang City

Luoyang is an ancient capital of many dynasties with a long history. It is the heart of the Central Plains and has a very large population. Although in this era, the strength of the Central Plains has greatly declined, which is far worse than the era when those who conquered the Central Plains conquered the world, it is still a relatively important place.

.

And today, in a deafening explosion, the city of Luoyang was destroyed!

Zhu Yuanzhang invented the cave siege method without any instruction, which was to find a coffin, fill it with gunpowder, then put the coffin under the city wall and finally detonate it!

Two hundred years later, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom used this method to conquer dozens of cities in the Qing Dynasty. It was extremely easy to use. Today, Zhu Yuanzhang used this method for the first time, and he succeeded.

Standing in Prince Fu's Mansion in Luoyang City, Zhu Yuanzhang recalled the struggle of the past fifteen years. It was not easy, not easy.

In the spring of the first year of Chongzhen, he had to kidnap the governor and flee beyond the Great Wall.

In the second year of Chongzhen's reign, his team expanded to a thousand people. They were all capable horse thieves, very disciplined, and extremely capable in fighting. They became famous throughout the grassland.

Then came the grassland wars that lasted for several years. In these years, Zhu Yuanzhang fought with Lin Danhan, fought with Hou Jin, and sometimes fought with the Ming army.

When the time came to the seventh year of Chongzhen, Zhu Yuanzhang was already a great warlord with eight thousand cavalry. This year he entered the customs.

He broke through the border towns, occupied Shaanxi, and started his farming journey.

Then he lost all his pants!

There must be a foundation, otherwise there will be no farming. It is precisely because he understood this truth that Zhu Yuanzhang was so interested in entering the customs.

You must occupy at least one province within the pass, so that you can cultivate true confidants, have a complete talent training system, and truly make your subordinates loyal to you.

Otherwise, even if you lose one battle, the eight thousand cavalry may disappear. This cannot be stopped by personal charm, this is the importance of the foundation.

So Zhu Yuanzhang entered the Pass and occupied Shaanxi, which was the ancient Guanzhong land.

During the Qin and Han Dynasties, Guanzhong was the true base of kings and hegemons.

However, as soil erosion continued to intensify, the Sui and Tang Dynasties could be regarded as the last glory of the Guanzhong land.

If he had a choice, Zhu Yuanzhang certainly did not want to occupy Shaanxi, but he had no choice. Even if he occupied a poor place like Shaanxi, he had to fight five wars involving more than ten thousand people with the Ming Dynasty in three years before he could truly gain a foothold.

From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard to farm in Shaanxi and continued to rob Mongolian tribes in the grasslands.

The foundation is there, but natural disasters continue.

Zhu Yuanzhang worked hard for ten years and only managed to train 200,000 soldiers. This was based on the premise that all the fields in Shaanxi were taken over by him and distributed to the soldiers.

In short, the whole of Shaanxi was militarized by Zhu Yuanzhang's government!

No civil servants here!

We don’t need so many yamen here!

Even business activities here are suppressed to the extreme!

There is a hole here!

Only government soldiers can serve as officials here!

If he had a choice, if natural disasters were not so frequent, and if the literati were willing to cooperate a little, Zhu Yuanzhang would not do this, but he had no choice!

And this year is the day when Zhu Yuanzhang will leave Guanzhong and fight for hegemony in the world!

The fighting desire and combat effectiveness of the first generation of Fu soldiers are all-round powerful!

They have a tough character and will not dare to run away even if the battle situation is unfavorable!

If the soldiers of the government flee, the whole family will be implicated!

The family fields will be taken back by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the family may even be demoted as slaves. Behind them is a family!

The government soldiers will not retreat until the whole army is completely defeated!

If the casualty rate of the general army is 5% or 10%, then these tough soldiers can admit a casualty rate of 15% or even 20%.

With their tenacious will, strong personal combat capabilities, and strong ability to obey discipline, these first-generation soldiers were simply invincible in this era!

So after leaving Guanzhong, Luoyang City was easily defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this moment, there was an extremely fat man in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. This guy's skin was as fair and delicate as a girl's. He was very well-maintained. His whole body was covered in fat. He would sway when he took a step.

Slap it down, it's all fat!

"Are you King Fu?"

"Such a lucky king?"

Did the world I conquered back then be a disaster for you?

Unworthy descendants!

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Drag him out and kill him!"

…

Soon, the news that the Marquis of Qin called himself Duke Qin, led his troops out of Guanzhong, captured Luoyang and beheaded King Fu, spread throughout the world.

Nanjing, Jiangnan Camp!

Of course, Jiangnan Camp was created by this Confucian scholar who traveled through time. It doesn't matter what his original name was. He is called Gu Qing in this life.

After Gu Qing traveled through time, he took the imperial examination route, passed the imperial examination, and passed the imperial examination. After being a member of the Imperial Academy for a year, he returned to his hometown and devoted himself to writing books.

While writing the book, he also opened a training class. For the first time, he systematically proposed concepts such as real questions, mock papers, and mock exams, and put them into practice.

Instant fame!

Then he proposed the strategy of question-taking and began to publish books and simulation papers for scholars. Originally, his deduction and induction methods were brilliant, but their influence was not as great as he imagined.

But after he proposed this series of exam-related concepts, his reputation really skyrocketed. The Instructions for Scholar Examinations he published were printed and printed tens of millions of times!

Gee, tens of millions of physical books have been sold. This is an incredible writer in the 21st century.

In this era, Gu Qing's reputation has skyrocketed. In the eyes of ordinary scholars, he has become a figure comparable to Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming.

There were even many smart speculators who traveled thousands of miles to come to his home, worship him as their teacher, and become his disciples sincerely.

The scholars admired Gu Qing from the bottom of their hearts, and the scholars and scholars were amazed by the deduction and induction methods proposed by Gu Qing. In addition, Gu Qing was not an official, so the court was not very afraid of him.

Keep hope!

This is what Gu Qing did ten years before Chongzhen. During the tenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng was driven away by Zhu Yuanzhang. He failed repeatedly in the north, so he could only come ahead to cause trouble in the south.

After the emergence of Zhu Yuanzhang, a feudal lord of the Qin Dynasty, the imperial court's military strength was even more insufficient. The resistance of Hou Jin had already weakened the strength of the Nine Bulls and Two Tigers, and was unable to quell the rogue bandits heading to the south. However, the people of the south also had their fate!

The gentry in the south don’t want to die either, so what should they do?

After Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others almost captured Nanjing City, Gu Qing came up with a way: team training!

In ancient times, those who organized group training were local tycoons or aristocratic families, so the group training they organized often ended up becoming the gravediggers of the dynasty.

But Gu Qing proposed to let the scholars organize group training!

Let the scholars organize team training based on the relationship between classmates, fellow villagers, teachers, and disciples. In this kind of team training, the officers at the grassroots level will all be literate scholars, and the soldiers at the bottom level will all be simple people in the countryside.

It seems very reliable and politically strong!

Even though he knew that there were pitfalls in this group training, Chongzhen didn't care so much.

Either organize group training, or just watch Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng steal the south. It’s too difficult!

In fact, this was also a change caused by Zhu Yuanzhang. He contained all the main forces that the court could fight in the north. If he was not eliminated, the court would not dare to make any big moves.

When Chongzhen's imperial edict came down, the evaluation of Chongzhen among the scholars instantly soared, and it once again returned to the level of the first year of Chongzhen, when everyone started to praise the emperor.

The scholars are in charge!

Take charge of the troops directly!

Gu Qing climbed up and shouted, and the people who made the call gathered together!

After three months, he had a team training team of 3,000 people.

No one thinks highly of this team training!

But Gu Qing led this group to fight against mountain bandits and water bandits. A year later, the number of this group increased to 10,000 people, and they all saw blood. The war began.

This regiment has 10,000 trained troops, and Zhang Xianzhong has 20,000 refugees.

Won!

In the second battle, the regiment trained 9,500 troops and had 30,000 refugees. We won!

In the third battle, there were 9,000 regiments and 30,000 refugees. We won!

…

In the sixth battle, there were 7,500 regiments and 20,000 refugees, but they were all elites from the old camp.

Lost!

Gu Qing jumped into the river!

Gu Qing was picked up!
