Chapter 009 Want to seize the throne? Difficult, difficult, difficult ()

He stood up subconsciously and wanted to go to an open place outside to go and stretch his brain. Suddenly, Niu Niu came in. The little girl wearing new cloth shoes loved to walk. She smiled sweetly and handed Xu Xingxia a piece of numb candy, and said happily: "Brother, this is something I bought for you specifically, you can eat one."

Xu Xingxia took the numb candy, took a bite, and said with a smile: "You bought it yourself?"

Niu Niu sat on Xu Xingxia's thigh and smiled sweetly, "Mom gave me ten cents, I bought ten yuan. I took one yuan by myself. I gave Uncle Guangliang, aunt, cousin Dachun, cousin Xiaochun, cousin Chunlan, cousin Qiulan, mother, and little brother. I took one to my father, and said he didn't want it, saying he wanted to give it to you. Brother, I calculated the wrong number. I should buy eleven yuan, but my mother didn't give enough money."

Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "Okay, daddy doesn't eat it, brother. I'll give you a few more cents later. When will daddy want to eat it, you can buy it for him to eat."

Niu Niu said happily: "That's the best."

Xu Xingxia took out dozens of copper coins he had just recovered and stuffed them into her pocket. As a result, she found that every pocket of Niu Niu's clothes was torn and she couldn't put anything down. In fact, Niu Niu's clothes were all black and all patches. When her mother Wang came back just now, she was holding two pieces of cloth. She probably wanted to make clothes for Niu Niu, but there was no time yet. Niu Niu could only continue wearing this set of black and old clothes for the time being.

"Oh..." Xu Xingxia sighed silently in her heart. Fortunately, she had come here, otherwise, this poor little girl would probably not be able to wear new clothes in her life. He put the copper coins back into his pit, pressed it under the straw mat, and said with a smile: "Brother, I will come and get it whenever I want it."

Niu Niu seemed to feel something, her smile slowly disappeared, her slightly yellow eyes widened, and she asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you going back to the pier?"

Xu Xingxia nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, my brother will go back to the pun tomorrow. My brother is going to kill all the Tartars. He treats them like that deer and kill them all. From now on, no one will disturb our lives again. We can freely farm."

Niu Niu said happily: "Brother, will you shoot the Tartars with one arrow?"

Xu Xingxia nodded and said, "Of course. As long as the Tartars appear, I will shoot them to death with one arrow."

Niu Niu clapped her hands and said, "Okay, brother is going to kill the Tartars! Brother, Niu Niu believes you can definitely kill many Tartars!"

Xu Xingxia nodded, nodded outside, shook the numb candy in her hand again, and said with a smile: "Okay, the numb candy that Niu Niu gave to her brother has eaten. Now, go outside to see the dumplings. If you go late, maybe the dumplings will be eaten."

Niu Niu jumped off his thigh and jumped to the ground.

Xu Xingxia slowly withdrew her gaze, and the visual focus slowly fell on the numb candy in her hand. His mind began to become confused again. If the Later Jin Tartars came, or the eunuchsmen came, or Li Zicheng came, can this cute little girl still eat numb candy? Xu Xingxia shook her head gently.

The answer is no. Unless you are willing to surrender to the enemy, be a traitor, and live a humiliating life, you will inevitably suffer. Since the answer is no, there is only one way out, that is, Xu Xingxia must have enough self-protection strength. Whether Nurhaci comes, Wei Zhongxian comes, or Li Zicheng comes, he has the ability to protect himself. If he can't even protect himself, how can he protect his relatives around him?

Self-protection...

Strengthen strength...

The princes holding heavy troops...

For a moment, this kind of thought happened repeatedly in Xu Xingxia's mind.

Xu Xingxia in his previous life had never carefully studied how to become a prince. However, as a person four hundred years later, Xu Xingxia still knew about all kinds of knowledge and some basic common sense every day. When Xu Xingxia calmed down and thought carefully, he slowly summarized some key points.

If you want to become a prince on one side, the most basic requirement is to seize the separatist side. Well, to be precise, like the governor of the Tang Dynasty, you must not only have military power, but also financial power and personnel power. Only by taking all these rights in your own hands can you compete with others.

The general officers of the Ming Dynasty had high positions and high ranks, but few people were able to fight against the central government. The most fundamental reason was that these general officers did not have the power of finance and personnel. If the court had any dissatisfaction with these general officers, they only needed to send the Jinyiwei or even send civil servants to take them down.

The civil servant group of the Ming Dynasty was too strong. They also had a very strict control over the army. The means of winning and suppressing each general were perfect. In addition, the military supply system was in the hands of civil servants and in the hands of military officials in various places. It was very difficult for generals to get up and attack. Without enough weapons and equipment, and without enough food and salary, what would you do to get up and attack?

It seems that in Ningxia Town, the general Li Guozhen is a first-rank military officer, and in terms of rank, he is much higher than the governor Li Maohui. Li Maohui is only a second-rank governor. However, Li Maohui's part-time job is Ningxia military preparation. The entire Ningxia Town's military food and salary are in his hands. No matter how great Li Guozhen is, he must rely on Li Maohui's breath to survive. Otherwise, he will not be able to maintain the stability of the army.

Xu Xingxia carefully assumed that if Li Guozhen wanted to rebel, well, to be precise, it was not a rebellion, but not a rebellion. He just didn't listen to the court. If he wanted to become a king, the first thing he had to do was to get rid of Li Maohui and take all the food and wages of the Ningxia Town army into his own hands. Then, he found a way to clean up all the dissidents in the army.

If you control Ningxia's finances with one hand and Ningxia's army with the other, the court will have no choice. Unless you send troops to suppress them, will the court send troops to suppress them? This is certain. The court will not tolerate the existence of such an independent kingdom. Wei Zhongxian will not easily tolerate others challenging his authority.

Ten years later, the Shaanxi Uprising Army led by Li Zicheng and others was still surrounded by so many officials, let alone ten years ago? Before the rise of the Later Jin Tartars, the power of the Ming court was relatively strong. After thinking about it, Xu Xingxia couldn't help but shake his head. It was very difficult to seize the throne!

After a full hour of busyness, the large plate of dumplings was finally served. According to Xu Xingxia, it doesn’t matter anything else, but the meat must be managed. Therefore, when making dumplings, try to put the meat filling into the dumplings as much as possible. Each dumpling has a standard thin skin and thick meat filling, which makes the dumplings round.

The Xu family had no tables. Dachun and Xiaochun became porters again and moved an Eight Immortals table from the Liu family. The Eight Immortals table was missing a leg, and Dachun topped it with another dry firewood. The Liu family's bowls, chopsticks, basins, etc. were moved here early in the morning. The stools were really not enough, and the two families were not enough to get together, so they had to stand.

Of course, as a benefit, Dongzi and Niu Niu can sit on the table. The injured Xu Fuqing can also be. The pregnant cousin Chunlan can also be. Two benches can sit on four people. As for the others, there is no way, so they can eat on the stand and temporarily. However, this is already very happy. In the past, even during the Chinese New Year, there was no chance to eat like this.

Dongzi and Niu Niu both ate dumplings in big mouthfuls, and it felt like it was unprecedentedly fragrant. Others, including Xu Xingxia, were no exception. This was the first time Xu Xingxia felt that dumplings were so delicious. After eating a bowl of dumplings, it seemed that they didn't feel at all. After eating two bowls in a row, I felt that I was finally a little full. At this time, Dachun, the most edible one, had already eaten five bowls.

My aunt was a little embarrassed, and quietly knocked Dachun's head and whispered: "What's wrong with you kid? You can eat so much!"

Xu Xingxia took away my aunt's hand and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't interfere. Dachun's cousin is just when she grows up, so of course she has to eat more. I said, today, everyone can eat as much as they can."

Wang also hurriedly said, "San Sister, you are really, your family says the same thing. Dachun, don't take it to your heart, eat as much as you can. There are still many people who don't put the pot later. If it's not enough, let's wrap it again. They are all ready-made dough and meat filling."

My aunt couldn't help but feel a little red in her eyes. She didn't know what was touched. She sighed and said bitterly: "Sister, when will you find someone to get along with Dachun's marriage? When will I find a wife?"

Wang said with a smile: "Didn't you find Aunt San? Are you talking? Just wait for the news. How can you make it happen all at once? In my opinion, your Dachun is not as old as my Xia Zi, and my Xia Zi hasn't started to do it. You are anxious."
