Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Purdue Cihang protects the country's father?

Thoughts in Su Hao's mind were spinning back and forth, and his brows were also frowned. He had really heard of this title, but he just couldn't remember it for a while.

"Purdue Cihang protects the country's father... Purdue Cihang protects the country's father... Purdue Cihang... Purdue Cihang..."

Purdue Cihang!

While thinking about it, a thought suddenly flashed through Su Hao's mind. He finally remembered that it was in the movie. It was the big centipede in the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", the national master of Purdue Cihang.

Just thinking about it, Su Hao felt like he was thinking too much, because the movie is still just a movie, how could it become a reality?
But thinking of the spells used by the other party, Su Hao felt that they really looked alike, because in the movie, the big centipede national teacher's favorite thing was to pretend to be Tathagata Buddha, and when the other party was fighting him, he really turned into Tathagata Image of Buddha.

Thinking of this, Su Hao only felt that his head was getting bigger. It was obvious that the time had come to calm down the world, but there was such a commotion halfway, it was disgusting.

After a moment of silence, Su Hao finally said: "Let people keep an eye on it, and report immediately if there is any trouble."

He is not sure about entering the capital now, because if he breaks into the capital again, he cannot guarantee that he will be able to escape unscathed.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Hearing Su Hao's words, Liao Qing quickly responded.

After Liao Qing retreated, Su Hao said to the servant at the side: "Go ask Hu San to come and see me."

Regarding Cihang's origin, if he doesn't understand it, he really can't feel at ease. He has a hunch that this kind of thing may keep happening in the future.

Although the spies of the Black Ice Terrace are all over the world, they are completely black on the side of the Yaozu, because the human race has always been hated by the Yaozu, and once they step into the territory of the Yaozu, it is basically a battle to the death.

Therefore, the spies of the Black Ice Terrace couldn't know too much about the monster clans, especially the monster clans outside the Central Plains. In fact, the monster clans in the Central Plains were the least, and most of the monster clans were active outside the Central Plains.

If you want to know the situation of the Yaozu, you still have to ask Hu San, an old fox. The other party has lived for more than 1000 years, and all the powerful Yaozu should not be able to hide it from her.

...

After a while, Hu San came to the Zichen Palace under the leadership of the servant.

"See Your Majesty!"

Seeing Su Hao, Hu San saluted first.

"I asked you to come here mainly to ask you a few things."

Su Hao said indifferently: "Is there a strong person named Jin Snake Empress among your monster clan?"

"She's still alive?"

Hearing Su Hao's words, Hu San couldn't help but exclaimed, as if he was frightened.

"You know her?"

Seeing Hu San's attitude, Su Hao said calmly.

"Return to Your Majesty, I do know her."

Hu San hurriedly said: "She is a strong snake clan, and a great demon who has survived four catastrophes. More than 200 years ago, she faced the fifth catastrophe. At that time, no one was optimistic about her, and then she entered the Central Plains alone , and there is no more news, if His Majesty hadn't mentioned it, I would have already forgotten her."

"Before I broke into the capital of Daming, I wanted to eradicate Daming completely, but she came out."

Su Hao said indifferently: "At that time, her strength had already surpassed the innate realm. In addition, there was also a centipede clan and monster clan strongman whose strength was still higher than that of the golden snake. They made my purpose of this trip come to nothing. Do you know the origin of this centipede?"

"Your Majesty, you actually broke into the Great Ming Capital alone?"

Hearing Su Hao's words, Hu San couldn't help exclaiming. She has lived for more than 1000 years, and she knows the strength of the Great Ming capital very well. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a tiger's den and a dragon's pool.

Although she knew that Su Hao was very powerful, she never thought that Su Hao would dare to go in alone. More importantly, according to Su Hao, if it wasn't for the golden snake and a strong centipede to stop him, he would have settled the matter. Ming dynasty.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, there is no such strong person in the centipede clan."

After thinking for a while, Hu Sancai said: "The centipede clan is weak among the monster clan. If there is such a strong person, the centipede clan will never keep it secret."

Su Hao frowned and said, "Really?"

"The minister is absolutely true!"

Hearing Su Hao's words, Hu San said solemnly: "If there is such a strong person in the centipede clan, it is absolutely impossible for me not to hear about it. Even the books left by my fox clan have never recorded that there is such a strong person in the centipede clan."

Hearing this, Su Hao couldn't help frowning. This is really not good news. At this moment, Su Hao remembered his premonition that the world has changed, and it might be related to Cihang.

Because a strong person will not appear for no reason, not to mention that all strong people crawled out of a sea of ​​corpses and blood, but anyone who wants to become a strong person will inevitably have a lot of resources.

And resources will not fall from the sky for nothing, they must be fought for, so even the hermit powerhouse has had glory in the past, and it is impossible to leave no clues at all.

Therefore, the only possibility is that Cihang came from the outside world, because only this can explain why there is no clue of the other party's origin, after all, he was not in this world before, so how could there be any clues left behind.

And he also remembered one thing, when Liao Qing had reported to him that there was a huge centipede in Taihang Mountain, he didn't take it seriously at the time.

Because the strength of the monster clan is not determined by body size, but now it seems that Cihang should be the centipede, and it should be Cihang who subdued the monster clan in Taihang Mountain.

After a moment of silence, Su Hao waved his hands and said, "You should step back first."

It is useless to guess the origin of the other party. On the contrary, it will only be more troublesome. After all, having the first one means that there will be a second, third, or even more.

Thinking of this, Su Hao also thought of another thing, the Yangtze River Flood Dragon, even the Golden Snake, who has only cultivated a half-flood dragon, has broken through the Innate Realm, so how strong will the real Flood Dragon be?
There was no comparison before. After all, there was no Jiaolong before. No one knows what strength Jiaolong has, and the other party has been hiding and not showing up, so he didn't pay attention to the other party. Now it seems that the other party's Strength is definitely not simple.

But for this situation, he has nothing to do, because what he needs now is to improve his strength again. He has gained a lot from this trip to Changbai Mountain. After digesting these gains, although he can't break through again, he can still make a lot of progress .

...

Time flies, time flies, Su Hao once again entered the closed state, and soon, a year passed.

And because Su Hao went to the capital alone this time, he took all the officials in the capital together, Daming's strength was greatly damaged, so he could only transfer some of the strong people back to the capital, and he had to give up the matter of suppressing the rebellion, causing the rebellion in various places to stabilize stage.

The situation in the entire Central Plains became more and more clear. Thanks to the efforts of Liang Ping, Luo Yi, Guo Hong, Jiang Shizhong, Gan Yang, and Pan Ping, Zhejiang was also captured, and Daqi's territory expanded again.

With the help of Cihang, Daming also successfully stabilized the territory of Shanxi and Henan, while Li Zicheng and others were driven to Shaanxi and Sichuan. Li Zicheng established the Dashun Dynasty, and Zhang Xianzhong established the Daxi Dynasty.

On the other hand, Hu Qing, Hu Zhongwu and his son occupied Guizhou and established the Shenlong Dynasty. For a while, the entire Central Plains fell into a situation of vassal hegemony.

.........

Chengdu Prefecture.

In Daxi Imperial Palace, Zhang Xianzhong, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi's four adopted sons gathered together.

"Father, Zhang Hualong and the others are going too far."

Li Dingguo said with a dissatisfied face: "As soon as we stabilized here, they began to invade the people's land and wealth. We raised troops to prevent being exploited by Ming Dynasty. What is the difference between what they do and Daming!"

"Being a father will make people warn them."

Zhang Xianzhong said with a heavy expression, "For the time being, we can't have civil strife here."

Although Daming gave up Sichuan, he did not give up completely. Daming named Qin Liangyu the governor of Sichuan. The Chongqing government was still controlled by Qin Liangyu and her white soldiers. If there is civil strife, then Qin Liangyu will definitely give them a fatal blow.

"Father, the biggest problem now is that our occupation of Sichuan is not stable."

At this time, Liu Wenxiu said: "Da Qi and Daming both have top-level powerhouses. Once the other party enters the Chengdu Mansion, we will have no power to resist."

After half a year of careful investigation, they also knew why Daming suddenly gave up hunting them down and allowed them to occupy Sichuan Jianguo and proclaim themselves emperor.

But this news is not a good thing for them, because the strongest among them is Zhang Xianzhong, a martial arts master, and they are still some distance away from martial arts masters. , none of them had any power to fight back.

After all, those two people both have the strength to kill the Xiantian realm easily, and their strength is completely insignificant in front of those two people. Luo Rucai occupied a prefectural city in Shanxi before, with more than 3 soldiers and horses, but was killed by that Ming Dynasty. The national teacher easily crossed over with his people and his subordinates, and became Daming's lackeys.

If that national teacher came to their side, their fate would definitely not be any better.

"This is what my father is worried about now."

Zhang Xianzhong sighed and said: "Not only Da Qi and Daming, Hu Qing and Hu Zhongwu in Guizhou also seem to have strong people behind them to support them. If Hu Qing, Hu Zhongwu and his son attack us, we may not be able to withstand it." live."

Liu Wenxiu only saw Da Qi and Daming, but he knew that Hu Qing and Hu Zhongwu's father and son were not simple, because he found out that two or three years ago, Hu Qing and Hu Zhongwu's father and son were just fishermen.

But in two or three years, Hu Zhongwu became a natural strongman. If there is nothing weird about it, he can twist his head off and be kicked as a ball.

More importantly, the dragon god enshrined by Hu Qing and Hu Zhongwu's father and son is quite effective. Coupled with their unique experiences, it can be seen that the dragon god is their backer. The only weak ones are him and Li Zicheng, and the others are not simple.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Xianzhong said: "I asked you to search for strange people and hermits everywhere. How are you doing?"

Now Da Ming has no time to pay attention to them, and Da Qi's goal is the south, so they can survive. Once Da Qi and Da Ming decide the winner, they may not even have room to resist.

So the best way for them is to find a strong enough backer, only in this way can they have the qualifications to fight for world hegemony.

"Father, there is no news for now."

Hearing Zhang Xianzhong's words, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ainengqi shook their heads and said, the real strong man is not Chinese cabbage, how can it be so easy to find.

"Do your best."

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzhong sighed, there was nothing he could do about this situation, after all his own strength was not enough, even if he found a strong one, it would be a matter of opinion whether the other party liked him or not.

.........

Nanjing City.

In the Zichen Hall, Tang Xiangjin, He Liu, Liang Ping, Guo Hong, Jiang Shizhong and other military generals and Zhou Xian, Hou Yuangao, Liang Xue, Hu Shangheng and other civil officials gathered together.

"My dear friends, I have summoned you to come here, as long as there is one thing to announce."

After glancing at everyone, Su Hao said calmly: "I plan to reform the tax system."

Reform the tax system?

Hearing Su Hao's words, everyone was taken aback, especially Tang Xiangjin and others. Daqi has always separated the military from the government. Su Hao is very strict about this boundary.

Anyone who dares to cross the line will be reprimanded at least, or dismissed from his position at worst. In these years, many people have lost their positions, but no one asked them because Su Hao couldn't have called them here without incident.

Su Hao said calmly: "I am going to realize the system of tax payment for officials and gentry."

Officials and gentry pay taxes together?
As soon as Su Hao's words came out, everyone's expressions changed, because this system meant that they also had to pay taxes, which was quite unacceptable to them.

After all, they risked their lives to rebel with Su Hao for the sake of prosperity and wealth, if they want to pay taxes like those mud legs, why would they rebel.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, please think twice."

Hu Shangheng was the first to stand up and speak.

"I have made up my mind, and this matter cannot be discussed again."

After taking a look at everyone, Su Hao said calmly: "The reason why Ming Dynasty is in its current state, I think all of you lovers are well aware that the wealthy and nobles occupy most of the land and don't pay taxes, all the taxes are put on the heads of the common people. As a result, the people have no tiles to cover themselves."

"It's a little bit of natural and man-made disasters, even if it's a situation where wars are raging all over the place, all the lovers probably don't want to follow in the footsteps of Daming."

Hearing Su Hao's words, everyone lowered their heads. Most of them were officials of Daming. They knew the situation of Daming better than anyone else.

"Dear dear friends, Da Qi is not just my Da Qi. I have never treated you badly. Everyone has high officials and rich salary. If there is no accident, your descendants will accompany Da Qi forever. I think you don't want future generations. Fall."

Seeing everyone's attitude, Su Hao said again, he didn't want to forcefully suppress these veterans who followed him.
