In the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, Li Zicheng's troops came to Beijing, and the Manchu and Qing cavalry outside the pass watched eagerly.
The treasury of the Ming Dynasty could starve rats to death, Emperor Chongzhen could not even pay the salaries of hundreds of officials, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were all iron roosters.
Pei Xiao, who had crossed over to become the leading soldier in the Beijing camp, looked at the sallow and skinny comrades around him and silently activated the [Infinite Military Pay System].
As long as you recruit troops and expand your territory, you can withdraw unlimited cash, food, and even firearms from across the ages!
As a result, Ming's painting style completely changed.
When Chongzhen begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother and was humiliated by hundreds of officials in order to raise military expenses, Pei Xiao's military camp was divided into baskets of silver and roasted chicken until he vomited.
When Li Zicheng rushed into the capital and prepared to torture, he ran into a heavily armed steel army equipped with Hongyi cannons and flintlock muskets.
When Dorgon thought that the Ming Dynasty was exhausted and led the Eight Banners cavalry into the pass arrogantly, what awaited him was Pei Xiao's million-strong army lining up to be shot!
Chongzhen: "Pei Aiqing, the national treasury is empty. Can you lend me two million taels?"
Pei Xiao: "Your Majesty, you can borrow money, but use the Forbidden City as collateral."
Li Zicheng: "I have been robbing for half my life, but I am not as rich as this big-headed soldier named Pei?"
Dorgon: "Retreat! Retreat quickly! Pei Xiao's artillery stretches for ten miles. This battle cannot be fought!"
