nice one!

In the palace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were indeed many good things, such as mahogany, yellow rosewood tables, chairs, and screens. Zhu Guo was naturally unwilling to let go of these things. After all, these things would be worth a lot of money on the other side.

It would be a pity to burn it down like this.

But he didn't want to, and he just didn't want to. After all, there were too many things, and he couldn't move them from house to house. In the end, with a little regret, he could only pack the things of a few warehouses - for this reason, he didn't even have to

I traveled back and forth between time and space many times, and rented another warehouse in between.

When Zhu Guoqiang finally had to look at the burned-out Imperial Palace with a slightly pityful look, he remembered another thing.

"How many did we seize in total in Shengjing this time?!"

"Returning to your words, I have just made a preliminary inventory. In addition to the 1.26 million taels of gold and 5.3 million taels of silver in the Treasury of the Ministry of Accounts, the gold seized from various palaces, Baylor Mansion and other mansions

Silver, preliminary statistics are no less than 50 million taels..."

Suddenly, Zhu Guoqiang was startled and looked at Liu Hanyi in disbelief.

"You...what did you say...five thousand taels of silver?..."

“It’s definitely more than that!”

Liu Hanyi shook his head and said with emotion.

"The slaves were brutal, and their looting was particularly crazy. They not only looted things on the surface, but also dug three feet into the ground. At that time, the slave chief Nurhachi ordered his soldiers to explore the buried caches inside and outside Guangning City. If they found

If you get two to three hundred taels of silver, give it to the person who dug it; if you get a thousand and twenty thousand taels, give half to the person who dug it. If you get more satin or python satin, hand over some of the top quality items, and the rest will be given to the person who dug it.

People. If they get food, they can sell it. Later, when slaves were established and invaded, it was generally the same. They plundered the money and cloth from people's homes. If they had time, they would also dig up the ground! Because of this, all major

The money in the palace and Baylor's palace far exceeds that of the Treasury of the Ministry of Households, among which Dorgon and others are the most..."

While lamenting the brutality of slave-building, Liu Hanyi continued to explain.

"I asked a little bit just now. In Dorgon's house, there are about six million taels of silver and one and a half million taels of gold, but most of them are goldware and jewelry. I think they were robbed by his subordinates when he invaded.

The plunder and donation, not counting all kinds of treasures, are estimated to be equivalent to Dorgon's silver taels, which will definitely not be less than 20 million taels!"

"No wonder, no wonder, every time the Jiannu entered the pass, they fought desperately and robbed and made a fortune. They were there to help the emperor, but they were clearly trying to create a business for themselves!"

Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but murmured, no wonder the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were all ordinary people from the rise to the entry into the customs. In the final analysis, they were just a group of "self-employed" owners!

"Those who are paid are definitely not as dedicated as starting a business..."

Although the prince's words sounded fresh, Liu Hanyi still nodded.

"What the prince said is true. The purpose of using soldiers to build slaves is to use the looting to return to the soldiers to encourage morale. In the homes of the soldiers who built slaves in Shenyang City, there are at least dozens of gold and silver jewelry, all of which are stained by our Han people.

Blood!"

"That's why we have to give blood for blood!"

Zhu Guoqiang sighed.

"Although my army does not issue silver rewards, the soldiers marched into Shengjing this time and captured the treasures from the ordinary slaves' homes. They distributed them among the soldiers themselves without having to hand them over! He is generous with his wild boar skin and generous, and we can't do it either.

Stingy, but only this once!"

Those who get a salary definitely don’t have the hard work to start a business!

This is why the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty declined immediately after entering the customs for more than ten years. When Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, the fundamental reason why the Eight Banners soldiers were useless was that the former entrepreneurs became salaried workers.

, even plundering with troops cannot arouse their desire to fight. After all, compared to robbing dozens or hundreds of taels of silver, it is undoubtedly more secure to get wages. As long as you live, your descendants will all get the money. Since

So, why work so hard?

Analyzing the shortcomings of the Eight Banners in his mind, Zhu Guoqiang naturally thought of his "military merit transfer". Will this also put the officers and soldiers into some kind of dilemma of "doing their work but not doing their best"?

After all, as long as they live, they will get land when they retire! If they have more military achievements, can they get more land? Why take such a big risk?

Now, everyone has not realized this yet, but by the time they do, it will be too late!

At that time, they realize that they are all working for others, and they are also getting wages when allocating land, so there will definitely be a shortage of people and no effort!

If you meet someone who starts his own business, he will definitely not be able to compete with others.

No, we have to find a way!

At this moment, Wan Shouqi came in a hurry to report.

"Your Majesty, something happened!"

"What's up?"

"Your Majesty, the news of our surprise attack on Shenyang has spread, and the surrounding people who were enslaved by the Jian slaves have risen up to kill the village head, Jian slaves, and their families have come to join the lord!"

"What did you say!"

Zhu Guoqiang was startled for a moment, and suddenly realized that in this Northern Expedition, everything was taken into account, except for the people!

It did not take into account the people who had been enslaved for decades and what they would do.

Now they have all defected here, for what? For freedom!

However, according to the plan, this Northern Expedition was to attack Shenyang with one strike, and after looting, it would be withdrawn. Before Huang Taiji led the army back to Shenyang, he would withdraw to the sea and rest on the Changshan Islands.

Then, he landed from Tianjin and stopped Abate in Beizhili. If there was a chance, he would even cooperate with Hong Chengchou to swallow up the Qing army on Abate's road. As for Dorgon... As for Zhu Guoqiang,

His understanding is that Dorgon will never desperately rescue Abatai. After all, the fire in Shengjing will destroy Huang Taiji's prestige, and Dorgon, the most powerful, will never give up at the expense of his own strength.

Opportunities to compete with Huang Taiji, if their conflict becomes intense, then from now on, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will fall into civil strife.

But now, these compatriots who have arrived have added many variables to this plan.

"How many people are there?"

"It is estimated that there will be no less than 200,000 people. It is estimated that by tomorrow, there will be at least 400,000 people. When the Han people in Liaoyang and other places learn the news, they will definitely start an uprising!"

When he heard that there were hundreds of thousands, Zhu Guoqiang suddenly felt his head buzzing.

I didn’t know what to do for a while!

Hundreds of thousands of people!

If there are only tens of thousands of civilians, they can retreat with the army and place them on the Changshan Islands. Then, following the old example of Dongjiang Town, they can defend the sea with the Peacock Flag...

But now there are hundreds of thousands of people! How can they be accommodated in such a big place on the island!
