Without the support from Shanxi merchants, it would have been much easier for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to attack!
As for their family property, what if it was given to Li Zicheng?
Judging from the fact that the people under Li Zicheng are all in unison at the moment, many of them are fighting on their own, and everyone has their own little ideas, which is not much different from the Ming Dynasty in the past.
After all, Li Zicheng had not been able to conquer the capital, and had been losing battles all the time. What a rebel force like the bandits themselves needed most was a continuous winning streak.
If the winning streak cannot continue, some of Li Zicheng's confidants will be fine, but others who are not confidants will have other ideas!
Therefore, Li Zicheng's defeat is almost doomed!
Unless Li Zicheng can win a very beautiful battle, maybe he can maintain Li Zicheng's prestige.
What can such a team do even if it has the support of Shanxi merchants???
It’s just to keep more money for Zhu Cixiang!
Zhu Cixiang really didn't think highly of Li Zicheng. What Zhu Cixiang was most worried about was actually Dorgon. Although this guy was able to have the last laugh in the end.
There is a factor of luck, but one's own knowledge and ability are also very important. Moreover, although Manqi has been praised very much, there are such big words as Manqi is less than ten thousand and ten thousand are invincible.
But what is irrefutable is that the combat effectiveness of the Manchu and Qing cavalry was still acceptable, at least they had sufficient combat effectiveness.
Ordinary soldiers have no way of colliding with Manqi.
And more importantly, the Green Camp of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Many of the Green Camps of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were led by Liaodong generals who had been in the Ming Dynasty. These people were all experienced in battles.
They themselves are capable enough, and they have no intention of betraying the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After all, those who surrendered to foreign races will rebel and return to the Ming Dynasty again if they cannot unify the world.
Even if they can get a good result, public opinion will make them very uncomfortable. Words like "house slaves with three surnames" are enough for them!
Therefore, unless they really reach the point of surrender or death, they will never betray the Manchus. On the contrary, they will try their best to maintain the rule of the Manchus.
As for the relationships within the Qing Dynasty, Dorgon was actually the absolute core. It would be extremely difficult for the princes of the Qing Dynasty to overthrow Dorgon.
Moreover, the few powerful princes within the Manchu Qing Dynasty also knew very well that at this time, they could not cause civil strife under any circumstances!
Therefore, at most there will be some turmoil within the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the meeting of kings and ministers will at most be able to change some of Dorgon's opinions, but it will not abolish Dorgon!
Zhu Cixiang knows this very well!
The Manchu Qing is the biggest opponent!
All, as long as it can weaken these slave-building methods, it is a good method!
Zhu Er and Xu Xing in the capital took action quickly after receiving Zhu Cixiang's instructions.
"gunpowder???"
Fan Yongdou frowned and listened to Song Yi's words.
"What? Is there a problem??"
Song Yi sat in his seat and put down the teacup in his hand in a leisurely manner.
"Oh! No no no!"
At this time, Fan Yongdou quickly said to Song Yi in front of him.
Fan Yongdou knew Song Yi in front of him. He was the famous person in front of His Highness Dorgon!
Commander of the Imperial Guard!
A person who has made great contributions.
No matter how hard you fight, Fan Yongdou can't offend such a person!
At this time, Fan Yongdou had a trace of hesitation in his eyes, and he smiled bitterly and said to Song Yi in front of him: "Sir Song, it's like this, there is very little gunpowder in stock at the moment.
Zhu Ming is now buying all the gunpowder, and it seems that they have innovated the method of cannon, and the demand for gunpowder has increased!"
Fan Yongdou looked at Song Yi in front of him with a wry smile.
Hearing Fan Yongdou's words, Song Yi's eyes flashed slightly, and his heart moved, but his expression remained as usual, and he asked Fan Yongdou in front of him: "Oh? Zhu Ming has improved the cannon again? Do you have the ability to get a few from over there?
Can the cannon give our people eyes?"
Song Yi's words stunned Fan Yongdou for a moment, and Song Yi keenly noticed a trace of doubt flashing in Fan Yongdou's eyes.
But soon, Fan Yongdou reacted.
"Oh! Oh! Okay, Mr. Song, I will see what happens! But things like cannons are very strictly controlled by Zhu Ming, so it is difficult to get them!"
Seeing Fan Yongdou's reaction, Song Yi's eyes flickered. He smiled and said to Fan Yongdou in front of him: "Okay, I got it! About the gunpowder..."
"Don't worry! I will definitely get the gunpowder for you, but it will be a little later! Because... you know!"
Fan Yongdou showed an embarrassed smile and looked at Song Yi in front of him.
"Okay! I will inform His Highness the Regent about this matter!"
Song Yi calmly said to Fan Yongdou.
"OK!"
Fan Yongdou nodded.
"Sir, I'll get to work first!"
Fan Yongdou smiled slightly and placed an oil paper bag on the table calmly.
"It's a trivial matter, not respectful!"
“What do you mean??”
Song Yi frowned slightly and looked at Fan Yongdou in front of him.
At this time, Fan Yongdou smiled slightly and said to Song Yi in front of him: "Sir, this is a little thought, just think of it as a meeting gift from me! When we first met, I have admired you for a long time! This is just a little thought.
…Please don’t go outside~!”
At this time, Song Yi frowned and wanted to say something.
"Sir, I'll take my leave first!"
With that said, Fan Yongdou quickly left the inn in front of him.
Looking at Fan Yongdou's back, Song Yi had a thoughtful look in his eyes. After looking at Fan Yongdou's back, he turned to look at the oil paper bag beside him.
After pondering for a moment, Song Yi picked up the oil paper bag on the table and slowly opened it.
As expected, there were several banknotes inside, basically all of them were one thousand taels of silver, totaling three thousand taels of silver.
What a grand gesture!
A trace of emotion flashed in Song Yi's eyes.
It has to be said that this kind of wealthy businessman, even if he has money, actually took out three thousand taels of silver when he saw him for the first time. This is not something that ordinary wealthy people can take out!
So how much money should Fan Yongdou pay when he goes to meet a bigger official, or even meets Dorgon???
It’s really hard to say!
Also, Fan Yongdou's face just now clearly showed a doubtful look.
Song Yi was keenly aware of it!
It seems that the upper echelons of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have been planning His Highness the Prince's artillery for a long time!
It seems that Dorgon is really not as useless as the surface shows!
It's very possible that I'm just one of them!
Sure enough, Dorgon does not believe others so easily!
