Chapter 47 "Answer to the Red Lady's Question"

Liu Sheng said: "Of course it's based on ability."

"What's the point?"

After the red lady asked, before Liu Sheng spoke, Yang Heqing couldn't help but interjected: "You do have some skills in fighting, but when it comes to this aspect, I'm not bad either. If you want to seize our team, you have to get through first." Let’s talk about this after I get through this!”

After speaking, Yang Heqing shook the red tassel gun in his hand and pointed it at Liu Sheng.

Wang Laowu, Shi Jincai and others next to them immediately raised their crossbows and pointed them at Yang Heqing and others.

The archers under the Red Lady hesitated for a moment, and they also opened their bows and drew arrows.

Taniguchi was immediately tense and the atmosphere was tense.

The red lady was about to scold Yang Heqing, but Liu Sheng raised his hand and took out a revolver, pointed it at Yang Heqing and said, "You use a gun, and I will use a gun, who do you think will die?"

Yang Heqing looked ugly.

He had seen how powerful Liu Sheng's short gun was before.

Even if he can dodge the first shot, he may not be able to dodge the second or third shot.

It was impossible for him to accuse Liu Sheng of using firearms - not to mention the battle formation. Even if it was a martial arts competition, he could use the spear that he was good at, and Liu Sheng could naturally use the firecracker that he was good at.

The red lady hurriedly said, "What are you doing, second brother? Leader Liu helped us defeat the government army. Even if we can't agree, we can't fight."

Yang Heqing used the steps to put away his spear, and the others also put away their weapons under the glare of the red lady.

Liu Sheng waved his hand, and Wang Laowu and others also sheathed their crossbows.

The red lady looked at Liu Sheng and said seriously: "Master Liu, the ability to fight and kill in big things may be important, but it is by no means the most important. If you only have this ability, I forgive you for not obeying your orders."

"Then what kind of skills do you think you need to be able to lead a team to do great things?"

The red lady said: "Before I started my righteousness at Jigong Mountain in Xinyang, I was just a rope artist who traveled around the world performing arts. I knew some words, but not many, and I didn't read any books.

At that time, there was no one to help the hungry people, and the government was oppressed and oppressed. We got mad and killed the officials and rebelled.

After conquering a town, I became sworn friends with my four brothers, respecting my elder brother Qiao. The initial discussion was to fight south.

Because we heard that many places in the north are suffering from severe droughts and famines, and it is not easy to get food there.

But not long after we went south, we were blocked by numerous passes in the Dabie Mountains - although the officers and soldiers there were not many and not powerful, it was easy to stop us by relying on the dangerous passes.

Our attempt to attack the pass failed, and even Brother Qiao was seriously injured. He handed the team into my hands before he died.

I thought, if we can't go to the south, then it's best to fight north. As long as we can strengthen the team while fighting, it's not impossible to reach the capital one day and pull down the Hunjun. "

After speaking slowly to this point, the red lady stopped, looked at Liu Sheng and asked: "What does Master Liu think of my intention to fight north?"

Liu Sheng smiled and asked: "Does the Red Lady know Li Zicheng, the King of Chuang?"

"Of course I've heard of King Chuang causing such a big fuss. But the government notice said that King Chuang was wiped out by the army in Tongguan the year before last. It's a pity."

Liu Shengdao: "When Li Zicheng was strong, he had tens of thousands of soldiers, and he led 10,000+ refugees to fight in Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and Sichuan, but he was eventually annihilated by the official army.

You said that you should fight directly to the north and pull down Emperor Chongzhen from the throne. Do you think you are more powerful than Li Zicheng? "

The red lady said: "I can't compete with King Chuang, but it is precisely because King Chuang fought in four provinces and was finally wiped out by the army, so I want to take the capital directly.

As long as we are powerful enough and break the city quickly enough, we will naturally have the opportunity to break through the capital and accomplish great things. "

Liu Sheng smiled, "Then have you thought about what will happen after you attack the capital and kill Emperor Chongzhen, and what should you do?"

The red lady was stunned. She really hadn't considered such a far-reaching matter. She hesitated and said, "Of course it's like in a play, using good people as officials to help the people and govern the place."

"Do you know why the Ming Dynasty became what it is today?" Liu Sheng asked again.

This time the Red Lady answered without thinking: "Of course it's because the emperor is stupid and incompetent, and traitorous ministers and corrupt officials are in power."

Liu Sheng sighed and said: "You know a little more than ordinary women, but unfortunately it is still too little compared to your goals.

Emperor Chongzhen was mediocre and incompetent, treacherous people were in power in the court, and many local officials were corrupt and incompetent. This was indeed one of the reasons why the Ming Dynasty became what it is today.

However, since the Apocalypse, natural disasters have occurred continuously, and their scale and frequency far exceed those of previous dynasties. They are also an important reason why many people have been displaced and died of hunger and poverty.

In addition, the slave establishment outside the customs has become so powerful that they join the bandits almost every year, plundering Shanxi, Hebei, and even Shandong and Henan.The southwestern chieftains also rebelled from time to time, conquered places and killed the people.There are also Western barbarians who collude with pirates at sea, causing harm to the coasts of Guangdong and Fujian and Zhejiang.

In this case, even if you conquer the capital, kill Emperor Chongzhen and change the dynasty, will you be able to change the entire world?
If nothing else, once you conquer the capital, the Guan Ning army outside Shanhaiguan may defect to Jianu, lead Jianu into the pass, and then drive you off the throne of the emperor.

What is more likely is that Chongzhen recruited Guan Ning's army back and destroyed your rebel army before you broke through the capital.

It should be noted that the Guan Ning Army and the officers and soldiers in the Shanshan area are not as useless as the officers and soldiers in Henan. "

Liu Sheng's words made the Red Lady and the surrounding Yang Heqing, Yan Yuanshan, Wen You and others stunned for a moment.

Wang Laowu and others who heard these contents for the first time were no exception.

Among these people, the one who has read the most is probably Wen You, a child.But he only knew that the slave establishment outside the pass was very powerful and that there were occasional rebellions among the chieftains in the southwest.

Not to mention the red lady.

She really didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would have so many big problems. It was like a broken house with air leakage from all sides, but it also encountered violent storms.

Thinking about it, she actually sympathized with Emperor Chongzhen on the dragon throne.

If she were the emperor, she wouldn't know how to solve these many problems.

But as a woman, even if she could make it to the capital one day, she would definitely not sit on the throne. She should let people with virtue and ability do it.

Thinking of this, Lady Hong glanced at Liu Sheng subconsciously.

But I heard Liu Sheng continue: "To take a step back, even if you sit firmly on the dragon's throne, the northern provinces have suffered from droughts and famines for many years, while the south has suffered from frequent floods, which will also displace the people and eventually lead to famine. How do you solve it? "

At the end, Liu Sheng stared at the red lady.

The red lady was inexplicably embarrassed and couldn't help but retorted: "I can't solve it, but can you solve it?"

Liu Sheng said: "Natural disasters are God's business, so of course I can't control them. I can only build more water conservancy facilities to drain floods and relieve droughts.

However, these things are too far away, our power is too small, and the talk of water conservancy is somewhat futile.

What I can promise you right now is that as long as you follow me with your team, I can prevent anyone in your team from starving to death.

Even for the refugees in this valley, as long as they are willing to follow me and listen to me, I can ensure that they will not starve to death, and even every family will have fields to cultivate. "

After hearing this, the red lady actually recognized Liu Sheng in her heart.Because no one she had ever known could comment on the general trend of the world like Liu Sheng.

Just based on her vision, Liu Sheng outclassed everyone in her team.

Liu Sheng's last few words also show that he is not the kind of scholar who likes to talk about big things and has high aspirations, but a pragmatic person.

However, she was still surprised to hear Liu Sheng say that he could guarantee that no one in the team would starve to death, and she didn't quite believe it.

Because even she dare not make such a guarantee.

Unless what Liu Sheng said was a trick - not letting them starve to death, but letting them all die in the battle.

With this thought in her mind, the Red Lady asked: "How can Master Liu ensure that no one in our team will starve to death?"

Liu Sheng said: "First, of course it is to 'borrow' grain from big households like you are doing now, so that we can survive the food crisis in the first one or two years.

The second is to farm and grow food yourself, which is also the most important point.

After all, we can't keep asking big households to 'borrow grain'. Natural disasters and military disasters continue, and many big households don't have much food.

Even if we have food in storage, we will eventually 'borrow' it all.If we don't farm and grow food ourselves, one day we won't be able to 'borrow' food. "

The red lady was secretly amused to hear that Liu Sheng kept talking about "borrowing food", but actually he was talking about robbing.

Then he said: "It's easy to borrow grain from big households. I'm very familiar with it. However, you need to have land to grow grain."

But at present, our troops are weak, but the official army is strong. Even if we conquer the territory, how can we withstand the encirclement and suppression by the official army? "
