[Struggle for hegemony in the late Ming Dynasty + Prince Zhu San + base area + new weapons + institutional crushing + overseas expansion]
(The ratings will come up slowly)
Chongzhen died, Hongguang was defeated, and Yongli was still on the run.
The Qing army's cavalry marched south, and the order to shave their heads was pressed into the mountain villages. The people had only two options left: live on their knees, or die standing.
Zhou Qing refused to kneel.
He woke up in a dilapidated village on the border of Sichuan and Guizhou, surrounded by only a few hundred hungry soldiers, two broken pots, and three explosive muskets. Outside, the Qing army was encircling and suppressing, and there was a shortage of food and salt inside. The Southern Ming court even reached out to ask for soldiers and food.
Some people advised him to seek refuge, some advised him to accept his fate, and some wanted to exchange him for wealth.
This time, I won't be a fugitive prince.
Train 100,000 young people to guard thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
The blood of Yangzhou, the blood of Jiading, the blood of Liaodong, and the blood debt on the Nanyang Sea.
Someone has to ask for it.
Make salt roads, burn glass, seize saltpeter caves, and forge cannons.
Set up camp administration, issue pensions, clear military rolls, and train new troops.
While others are still arguing over who is the orthodox Ming Dynasty, Zhou Qing has already brought the first new army with pay, food, and family pensions up the mountain pass.
The Ming Dynasty can be destroyed, but the people of the world cannot be destroyed, and the Han people will never be slaves! ! !
From Huipozhai to Qingxi County, from Chishuikou to the Yangtze River, he collected refugees, boat owners, old generals, craftsmen, and those who refused to kneel in the world.
If the mountains and rivers are broken, then fight back again.
If the sea route is lost, then fight to Nanyang.
Whoever dares to share China's flesh, Zhou Qing will let him see clearly: the people in this land are not easy to bully!
This troubled world has come to an end, so let's create a new world.
