    "Slaughter cattle and sheep, prepare wine and paddles, open the city gate to welcome King Chuang, but King Chuang does not pay food when he comes"

    This children's song compiled by Li Yan for Li Zicheng laid the foundation for Li Zicheng's later success, brought the people of the Central Plains home, and ultimately helped him overthrow the Ming Dynasty.  . Logically speaking, this children's song should not appear here. It should have been compiled after Li Yan, Li Gongzi and the Red Lady defected to Li Zicheng in the 13th year of Chongzhen. But now, it has appeared in the winter of the 10th year of Chongzhen.  , appeared more than two years earlier than the original history.

    Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and thought to himself: History has undergone many changes.  Hong Chengchou was killed by himself and Shaanxi was occupied by himself. This was the first major change in history. And the Red Lady was accidentally taken in by him, which was also a small change. It seems that due to a combination of circumstances, Li Zicheng came earlier than in history.  With the help of Li Yan for more than two years, this children's song came out more than two years earlier.

    The situation in this world is hard to say!

    Zhu Yuanzhang guessed right. Because the Red Lady was intercepted by Zhu Yuanzhang in Xinyang and did not continue to go north, she did not go to Li Yan's hometown to cause trouble. The subsequent series of interactions between the Red Lady and Li Yan disappeared, and Butterfly's  With a flick of his wings, Li Yan joined Li Zicheng's army more than two years in advance and became Li Zicheng's right-hand man.

    At this time, Gao Yingxiang was dead, and all the troops were owned by Li Zicheng. The ambitious Li Zicheng wanted to make a career. If it were the original history, Li Zicheng had just taken over the power, and he would inevitably have done something wrong. But in this time and space, Zhu Yuanzhang treated the people well and ran Shaanxi.  , and set an example for the rebels all over the world.  People without ambition and ability can't learn, so that's it, but there is no reason for an ambitious person like Li Zicheng not to learn?

    He was determined to imitate Zhu Yuanzhang, and also wanted to get a piece of land for himself to achieve great things. At this moment, he met Li Yan.

    Li Yan made several suggestions to him: "Respect the virtuous and courteous people, eradicate violence and care for the people", "Practice benevolence and righteousness, prohibit soldiers from killing, and win people's hearts to achieve great things." Li Yan already had such thoughts, so he immediately met with him.  Young Master Li Yan hit it off immediately, adopted his opinion, and decided to change the policy of the Thirty-sixth Battalion. Instead of burning, killing and looting, he would win people's hearts and prepare for his future plans for the world.

    In this way, Li Yan¡¯s children¡¯s songs will naturally spread.  At this time, the rebel army was roaming around Sichuan, and Li Yan sent many alert people among the bandits, disguised as businessmen, to sing this children's song everywhere, even in remote places like Guangyuan.

    "We killed cattle and sheep, prepared wine and oars, and opened the city gate to welcome King Chuang. When King Chuang came, he refused to pay for food"

    Children's songs echoed in everyone's ears. The children clapped their hands and sang, running across the street, and then ran back from the other side with smiles.  A child of about seven or eight years old smiled and said: "Isn't King Chuang a good man? He doesn't have to pay for food when he comes!"

    Another child less than ten years old also said: "Dad said that he must be a good man. If we don't need to pay for food, our family can save a lot of food for ourselves."

    A slightly older child, maybe thirteen or fourteen years old, glanced at the two children and shouted in a low voice: "Third boy, fifth boy, don't talk nonsense That King Chuang is a bandit, but the head of our place is not."  It¡¯s General Zhenxi, let the general¡¯s men hear it, and you two will be careful to take the blame.¡±

    Zhu Yuanzhang and others stood nearby in plain clothes. Hearing the words of these children, they couldn't help but look at each other.

    The child who was seven or eight years old was the fifth child. He said to the oldest child: "Brother Big Lei, is General Zhenxi a senior official in the imperial court?"

    Da Lei looked around and saw no one in purple military uniforms nearby, so he said: "That's not necessarily true I was on duty outside the study, and I heard the master say that General Zhenxi is a warlord who separatist forces  Those who do not obey the orders of the imperial court." It turned out that Da Lei was the son of a wealthy family. As a boy in the courtyard of a wealthy family, he could occasionally hear what the wealthy people said in private, so he knew that Zhu Jun was not an officer or soldier.

    Sanwazi asked: "Is General Zhenxi a good person?"

    Dalei sighed lowly: "Today the Yamen is opening a warehouse to release grain This man seems to be a good person."

    Sanwazi asked again: "What about Chuang Wang?"

    Da Lei thought carefully for a while and said in a low voice: "Of course there is no King Chuang. King Chuang will not pay for food when he comes, but General Zhenxi wants to pay for food. Is this even necessary? Our master did not have to pay food for the government before.  , now that General Zhenxi is here, he has to pay taxes together with ordinary people. Our master also said that King Chuang may be better than General Zhenxi."

    Hearing what he said, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light shot out.

    Several leaders of Zhu Jun were silent. Xu Renjie and Ma Xiaotian looked strange. After a while, Xu Renjie came to Zhu Yuanzhang and whispered: "Zhu Ba??, it seems that Li Zicheng can no longer be kept.  "

    Ma Xiaotian also said: "It seems unnecessary to come to Sichuan to help the 36th Battalion this time. Let's just join forces with the officers and soldiers to kill Li Zicheng."

    They were discussing in low voices here, but they heard the red lady next to them raise her eyebrows and say: "According to this, Li Zicheng is a good man. If he doesn't show his strength to the people, wouldn't it be a good thing that benefits the world? We shouldn't be with this person."  You should be a good person, right? You should join forces with him to do justice for heaven. Why do you want to kill him?"

    Ma Xiaotian usually praises Lady Hong, but at this time he stopped praising her and whispered: "Miss Hong, you are so naive, how can you be so easy to deceive like a child?"

    When the matchmaker heard this, her brows rose even higher: "Ma Xiaotian, you wooden fish head actually said that I am naive?" She was confused, this Ma Xiaotian is so stupid, you dare to say that you are naive?  Is your skin itchy?  Thinking of this, he became furious, squeezed his pink fist, and punched Ma Xiaotian in the chest.  When the two of them bickered, no matter who was right or wrong, she would just punch her and Ma Xiaotian would immediately stick to her side.

    But this time it was different, Ma Xiaotian raised his hand gently, pinched her pink fist, and said seriously: "I usually obey you, but I can't obey you this time, I have to explain it to you.  "

    "You let go of my hand!" The red lady was slightly angry.

    Ma Xiaotian groaned and quickly let go of her hand. Only then did he realize that it was too rude to hold a woman's hand. His face suddenly turned red, but he still said seriously: "Brother Zhu Bago taught me"

    "Did Brother Zhu Bago teach you again? You don't use your brain?" The red lady hates that iron cannot become steel, and she really wants to kick her in the face.

    Ma Xiaotian said seriously: "It's a bit naive for me to use my own brain to think about problems, just like you, so I don't think nonsense."

    Are you calling me naive again?  The red lady wanted to hit him, but seeing his serious face, she didn't want to act recklessly, so she said obediently: "You speak, and I listen."

    Ma Xiaotian pointed to the Guangyuan City Wall not far away and whispered: "Who built this wall?"

    The red lady snorted: "Do you think I'm stupid? Of course it was built by the imperial court."

    Ma Xiaotian said: "Does it cost money to build the city wall?"

    The red lady said: "Nonsense, how can we repair it without money?"

    Ma Xiaotian asked again: "Where does the money come from?"

    The red lady snorted and said: "Of course it was obtained by exploiting the people's wealth and anointing them. It couldn't be obtained by the imperial court's own farming and digging, right?"

    Ma Xiaotian said: "Yes, it was built after the imperial court collected taxes. Now the question is, if the imperial court does not pay grain or collect taxes, how can it use the money to build the city wall?"

    The red lady was stunned by the question. She thought for a long time and was speechless, so she had to say: "Don't repair it! As long as the people in the world live and work in peace and contentment, and there are no bandits wreaking havoc, the city wall will be useless."

    Ma Xiaotian asked: "What should we do if a foreign country invades us? For example the Manchu Tatars."

    The red lady is speechless.

    Ma Xiaotian asked again: "Let me ask you another question, if you don't pay food, what will the emperor eat?"

    The red lady pursed her lips and thought for a while: "Grow it yourself" After saying these three words, she felt that it was a bit unreliable, and she couldn't help but wipe her sweat.

    Ma Xiaotian laughed and said, "If Li Zicheng doesn't pay for the food, what will he eat?"

    The red lady pouted and said: "Seedby myself" This time she was even less confident, and she found that she basically had no energy to refute.  Suddenly he was shocked and said: "It is absolutely impossible for Li Zicheng to grow his own food, but he does not pay food to the people, what on earth does he eat? Yes, you are right to ask, what on earth does he eat?"

    Ma Xiaotian showed his white teeth and said with a smile: "Eat people!"

    The red lady was startled by him and gasped: "Youdon't scare me! You stinky little god, you damn little god, you can say some weird things, be careful that my boss will slap you in the ears."  .¡±

    Ma Xiaotian spread his hands and said, "Actually, I don't know what he eats. Let Brother Zhu tell you this. I don't understand the rest."

    Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and gave Ma Xiaotian an appreciative look, saying that he was much smarter than before. Then he took over the conversation and said: "Li Zicheng can indeed not pay food to the people now, he can take advantage of the big households."

    "Eat the big family?" Lady Red immediately understood: "He rebelled against the imperial court, so he can eat the imperial officials first"

    "Yes!" Zhu Yuanzhang explained: "He does not eat the common people, but eats the meat of the imperial court, drinks the blood of the imperial court, kills gentry and fat merchants, to win the favor of the poor people, and let the common people help him conquer the world.  Until this place, his actions will be smooth and he will not run into any trouble, but when he takes over the world"

      When the leaders heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, their expressions became serious.

    Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "When he takes over the world and becomes the new emperor, he will find out, huh? Who should I eat now?"

    "Yes, who else can he eat at that time?" The red lady really couldn't understand.

    Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said: "He has no one to eat, and the title of not paying for food has been spread throughout the world, and he cannot change his words. If he changes his words, public sentiment will immediately surge, and even he himself cannot bear it. So he has to take it for himself."  Perished. When he perished, what was left behind was a world that he had completely conquered, which gave the foreigners a chance to pour in. The mighty Ming territory fell into the hands of the foreigners."

    Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said: "So, we are going to kill him!"
