"Where is your fifth uncle now?" In the Ye County Government Office, Zheng Zhilong tightly wrapped his coat tightly and said in a slightly tired voice.

Unexpectedly, he became ill again.

He led the team to Laizhou with great courage. On the way, he blew a little wind and caught a cold. He occasionally felt the wind and cold. Zheng Zhilong didn't care yet when he first got up, and then he lived in Ye County, and stayed for ten days.

This result was really unexpected by Zheng Zhilong.

The brazier in the house was burning warm. When winter came, the temperature in the room could be maintained at around 0 or 10 degrees. However, Zheng Zhilong's disease seemed to be unhealed. After lying for two days, not only did he not recover, but he was confused.

Snot, congestion, uncomfortable all over the body, and bone joints are all sour.

Zheng Zhilong felt that he had a severe cold and was a discomfort.

He was caught off guard and had to stay in Laizhou and hand over the war ahead to Zheng Zhibao.

However, although his health is not good, Zheng Zhilong still does not plan to rest.

Zheng Sen glanced at Zheng Zhilong whose nose was twisted red, cleared his throat, and replied: "Uncle Fifth has entered Qingzhou. Haoge led his army to confront Uncle Fifth, and now he has let go of Changle."

"Is there any new information coming from the west? Where is Wang Aoyong? Where is Zu Kefa?"

"Wang Aoyong is still in Jinan. As for Zu Kefa, there is news that he has led 30,000 troops to come to the east, and the Tatars are afraid that they will not give up Qingzhou." Although Haoge gave up Changle and the east gate of Qingzhou.

Zheng Zhilong closed his eyes.

It’s better to fight a war in Qingzhou, but is it closer to Denglai? It’s much better than fighting Jinan. Although Qingzhou City is quite solid, it was not damaged by the last offensive and defensive battle. Li Shiyuan and Guo Sheng are still living in the Yimeng Mountains.

However, Zheng Zhilong was not worried about them, and he could even think of it with his butt. With Zheng Zhilong launching a counterattack in Denglai, the two of them would definitely not have a bad life.

Now there is a chaos in the north and south of the Yangtze River. The "million" army of the Southern Ming Dynasty suddenly made a northern expedition. At this point in time, many people's first reaction was that Emperor Chongzhen had already had acquainted with Li Zicheng.

Otherwise, why would the Ming Dynasty come to save Li Zicheng?

But regardless of whether Emperor Chongzhen had reached a secret agreement with Emperor Dashun, the Ming army had gone north with a "million" and that was a fact. And it was unstoppable along the way.

Take advantage of the situation and enter, don’t fight too much.

Many large armies headed north together, completely entering a state of no one. Kaifeng Prefecture had been taken by Xu Dingguo; Runing Prefecture was also easily captured by Liu Liangzuo; Jin Shenghuan and Li Guoying also succeeded in attacking Luoyang from Ruzhou, and killed Jin Yuhe, the admiral of the Central Plains of Qing Dynasty who were stationed in Heluo. A group of remaining soldiers of the Qing Dynasty had no choice but to escape east, so they could only escape westward to Shanzhou (Sanmenxia).

Gao Jie and Liu Zhaoji also rushed into Yanzhou, Cao Bianjiao followed up, and the army was aiming directly at Ziyang.

The news has spread all over the world, but I just don’t know if I have heard it in Yimeng Mountain, or how many people have heard it. As long as there are a few smart people with clever ears and eyes, their lives will be much more comfortable.

Zheng Zhilong is now counting on Jiang Zhe to pass through Qingzhou early. When his main force was conquering Jinan, Jiang Zhe also led his army to Qufu for a good stroll.

Although Qufu is already the fat meat on Hong Chengchou's mouth, as far as he knows Hong Chengchou, this person is afraid that this person will not attack Qufu Kong's family.

Emperor Chongzhen's sudden Northern Expedition broke Zheng Zhilong's abacus. In the Qufu incident, he actually fell behind the Ming army.

"Where is Jiang Zhe? Still no news comes?"

Zheng Sen gave a positive answer. Since Jiang Zhe led his troops out of Jiaozhou and conquered Gaomi and Zhucheng, the news has been cut off.

From Zhucheng to Yanzhou, you need to pass through the huge Yimeng Mountain. I don’t know if he and Li Shiyuan and Guo Sheng have contacted each other. In today’s era, it is difficult for each other to keep the news open in such a situation.

Zheng Zhilong was about to curse her, but when he felt his nose itchy and sneezed heavily. "Don't this belle someone scolding me, right?"

This is how he "has no longer a face". During this period of time, there were more than tens of thousands of people cursing Zheng Zhilong openly and secretly.

The gentry from the two palaces of Denglai were the first.

As the army counterattacked Denglai, what came together was the "great liquidation" against the two prefectures.

The gentry in Denglai Palace was the first unlucky guy in Qilu.

They were in Denglai and were in trouble. These two pieces of land were targeted by Zheng Zhilong early on. The gentry and landlords here naturally had to sweep them all, so that they could teach the land to be dictated and dictated, so that the Zheng family could truly lay their foundation here.

The Black Ice Platform has long evaluated the "daily behavior" of the gentry of Denlai. They should be damned and should not be damned, but they have also committed a lot of guilt. They have no real sins - except bowing to the Tartars, everything is clearly recorded.

In the front of the army, the subsequent troops began to "clear".

Some people were either brought to the county town to chop them in public, or imprisoned them, and sent them to Nanyang next year. Some people had 50 to 100 acres of land left at home, while the rest of the land was confiscated...

Moreover, the latter accounted for the majority of the gentry among the Denglai gentry. The reason was not that the gentry and landlords in the Denglai were kind-hearted, but that they were right at the edge of the Zheng army, and they were afraid of being liquidated by the Zheng army. Although there were Qing flags floating on the top of the city, no one dared to be arrogant.

But now Zheng Zhilong is no longer poking their lung tubes, but is directly cutting his thighs with a knife, or just a pair of them.

This drove those "good gentry" crazy, and it was their life.

Even though many people are afraid of death, there are still many gentry acting without hesitation. Organizing family slaves to resist is one of them, and causing trouble in a group of newly restored Ming-style yamen is the second. If the Tartars were not really far away, there would be no one who would secretly talk to them about the music and wait for the royal army to come and save them.

The gentry and landlords were desperate, and the people were happy.

Although the land they got was not their own, they were all the land of the court, but the court rented the land to them for cultivation. But that was also a great thing, okay?

How much tax does the official land in the court have? How much tax does the landlord have?

Is it better to be incomparable?

Now, only 10% of the agricultural tax on official land is paid, and the rest is the people themselves. After the news came out, many people cried in the land of Denglai.

This is a beautiful thing about gold falling from the sky. What's even more beautiful is that this golden cake fell directly on their heads.

Which of the farmers who learned the announcement would think of landlords, scholars, and juren. The real interests are the first.

The land tax in the Ming Dynasty was actually very low, especially the official tax, which was not high even if the levy was added. The hunger and cold exchanges of the people actually had nothing to do with land tax, and it even had nothing to do with the heavy taxes that forced the people to have no way to survive. What really forced them to the dead end was the extra expenses.

However, in the past, they had to pay rent for more than half of their annual gains, but now they have saved all of this. All of them have fallen into their own mouths. Even if there are so many taxes and exploitation from corrupt officials, they feel that they can live happily.

Zheng Zhilong asked people to preach the cancellation of harsh taxes and the cancellation of corrupt officials and the heads of corrupt officials were cut off, but the people didn't believe it. If you don't let them truly enjoy the "reality", they will never believe that it is true.

The propaganda team Zheng Zhilong’s current hand is not enough to make the people believe this. Just a plan to teach the land has already made the propaganda department busy.

The most important thing is that now he doesn't need to rush to promote all this.

It’s not time to harvest summer grains and autumn. It’s October, and it’s still early to harvest summer grains.

You just tell the people what it means to spend money on acres, what is fire consumption, and what is all miscellaneous taxes have been cut off. It’s not time to collect taxes, so why are you anxious?

To put it bluntly, if you are still yelling around next year, then you may not be sure. You should deal with the current situation first and do it step by step. First, get the plan done perfectly, and then do other things.

It is also because of this inaccuracy that few of the gentry really tried to fight Zheng Zhilong to the death. Most of them were still waiting for their Qing soldiers and the return of the King's Army of the Qing Dynasty.

"Smiling first is not laughing, but laughing until the end is laughing." When my Qing Dynasty soldiers came back, everything they lost was asked to send back to me by all the mud legs.

Compared with the series of policies after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, traitors like Zheng Zhilong are the life-and-death enemies that the gentry hates to the core.

"Zheng Zhilong, he is so bad that he is worse than the Tartars!"

Zheng Zhilong is afraid that even if he divides into thousands of villains, he can't escape the curse that is pressing over the sky.

Just as Zheng Zhilong swung the butcher's knife at the gentry in Denglai, Dorgon in Yanjing was laughing, but he was not laughing at Zheng Zhilong, but Emperor Chongzhen in Jinling City.

Dorgon was initially disbelief of the counterattack of the Southern Ming court, and then furious. He also immediately sent someone to inform Dodo and Ajige, so that the two could end the battle with Li Shun as much as possible. However, based on the Qing Dynasty's victory over the Ming army again and again, Dorgon was angry, but he was never afraid.

Even as the news of losing the city and losing land continued to come, he laughed.

Emperor Chongzhen is such a fool, so stupid.

The Ming army fought in many northern expeditions, and the army was indeed unstoppable and easily captured one state after another. However, with the fall of these state prefectures, what sounded was not the gentry's praise of the Ming Dynasty, but the complaints from the gentry, but the crying and calling mothers of the gentry in the northern region.

The Ming army in the Northern Expedition treated them as fish on the chopping board and slaughtered them at will.

It is reported that a large number of Central Plains gentry have escaped north of the Yellow River, and a large number of Yanzhou gentry and Dongchang Prefecture, and Jinan Prefecture are all fleeing north.

It was pitiful to see the sky. The northwest Shandong and southwest Shandong were ravaged by the Qing Dynasty, and killing millions of people was by no means a joke. But now the gentry in these places actually chose the Qing Dynasty between Zhu Ming and his Qing Dynasty.

This is not a big gift from Emperor Chongzhen, and what is it?

What is the plan for losing a large area of ​​land? As long as the main force is drawn back from Shanxi and Shaanxi, even if Li Zicheng is cheap, as long as the army is in control, even if the Ming army has already reached the city of Yanjing, he is confident that he will defeat the enemy in one battle.

Dorgon did not take the Qing army's current setback seriously at all. The empty Central Plains and western Qi and Lu were very important. What he really valued was the scholarly hearts in these places.

In the two years since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the policy care of these gentry can only temporarily settle down. The subtle effect of the past two years is not as good as Emperor Chongzhen's Northern Expedition. "There is this emperor in the Central Plains, and I am the blessing of the Qing Dynasty."
