"Do you want to take a shower?"

Li Yu came out of the kitchen and glanced at Dong Xiaowan on the side.

The pot in the kitchen can only boil bath water for two people at a time. If Dong Xiaowan wants to take a bath, she will also have to burn it.

Dong Xiaowan looked at Li Yu with a normal expression, shook her head gently, and left straight.

She was still a little worried, thinking about it, afraid that Li Yu would be ill-treated against her.

"Don't look at me like this, I did nothing to her!"

Li Yu looked at the matchmaker who looked joking and said, "Don't do it first, let's talk about it later!"

He wanted to deal with the guys and would do it, but not now.

If something happened to that guy tonight, everyone would doubt them. Even if no one got the evidence, it would not be a good thing for Li Yu, who had a stable foothold.

"oh!"

The matchmaker agreed: "Then let's settle the score with him later!"

She originally planned to wait until late at night to deal with the mate based on the information provided by the monkey. Since Li Yu said he would go again in the future, the matchmaker had to cancel the previous plan.

"kindness!"

Li Yu nodded with a smile: "After taking a shower, go to bed early, and there is still a lot to do tomorrow."

After saying that, he walked around the embroidery shop and confirmed that there were no safety hazards before going to take a shower.

Li Yu thought that he should recruit people as soon as possible to be at ease. Without anyone to protect him, he would feel insecure wherever he went.

At night, Li Yu lay in bed and began to think about his future life.

If it is a peaceful and prosperous era, he can be a rich man with peace of mind, marry a beautiful wife, a few beautiful concubines, a rich and frugal life, and a happy life.

It is the late Ming Dynasty, how could Li Yu be alone?

There are four choices at present. One is to help Li Zicheng compete for the world and make a contribution; the second is to help Chongzhen turn the tide and make achievements; the third is to help Huang Taiji enter the Central Plains and unify the world; the fourth is to help no one, and do whatever he wants.

First, Li Zicheng was excluded. After surrounding Beijing, he also offered conditions to Chongzhen, only wanting to cede land as king. It can be seen that Li Zicheng has no ambitions. After attacking the capital, he did not actively unite the front to deal with the eye of the Qing army, but instead pursued stolen money to help the money, forcing the landlords and bureaucrats to the opposite side. It can be seen that Li Zicheng did not have a long-term plan.

Since Li Zicheng is not a big deal, it is meaningless to defect to him.

Secondly, Chongzhen is similar to Li Zicheng, or even worse.

When you are worth it, Chongzhen can give all his money to you;

When he disappoints him, Chongzhen will also hate you to the core.

Shortly after Chongzhen ascended the throne, he appointed Yuan Chonghuan as the Minister of War and the Right Deputy Censor, in charge of Ji Liao, and also the military affairs of Denglai and Tianjin. Yuan Chonghuan praised Haikou, which had been restored to Liao in five years, and asked the Ministry of Revenue to transfer military pay, the Ministry of Works to supply equipment, the Ministry of Personnel to employ personnel, and the Ministry of War transferred troops to select generals to cooperate with him. Chongzhen agreed and took back all the ministers of the Liaodong General Wang. The Shangfang sword of the Datong General Man Gui was given to Yuan Chonghuan, almost giving all the strength of the Ming Dynasty to support Yuan Chonghuan...

As a result, in 1629, the Jin army rushed to the city of Beijing, and Yuan Chonghuan was eventually executed by Lingchi, and his family was moved for three thousand miles and his property was confiscated.

Not only did Lu Xiangsheng die in battle, but his family asked for help for two consecutive years, but they did not allow it. It was not until Yang Sichang failed to kill Zhang Xianzhong that the court awarded the title of Prince Lu Xiangsheng's Young Division and the Minister of War...

Sun Chuanting first captured the rebel king Gao Yingxiang, then defeated all peasant armies, and then ambushed Li Zicheng with Hong Chengchou, almost annihilated Li Zicheng's army.

Because he had a deep conflict with Yang Sichang, the peace sect and Gao Qi, the middle-aged official, Chongzhen issued an order to prevent Sun Chuanting from entering the capital to attend the court, while Hong Chengchou was comforted in the suburbs of the capital and went to the palace to pay homage to Chongzhen.

Sun Chuanting was so angry that he became deaf due to disagreement with Yang Sichang. He had no choice but to cause illness to stop. Yang Sichang interfered with it. Chongzhen was furious and demoted Sun Chuanting to a civilian and imprisoned him for awaiting judgment.

Within three years after Sun Chuanting was imprisoned, Li Zicheng grew from a dozen people to hundreds of thousands or millions.

In February 1642, Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng for the second time. Chongzhen extracted Sun Chuanting from the prison and hurriedly ordered him to lead his strong troops to aid Kaifeng, urging Sun Chuanting to fight in a hurry, resulting in defeat and death. Chongzhen believed that he had fled to death and did not give him any gifts.

In short, Li Yu felt that Chongzhen was not only suspicious, stubborn, but also mean and ruthless, and asked for complete reproach. Even if he could appreciate and use it, it would not be a good thing.

If you can judge the situation and retreat bravely, you may be able to protect yourself. If you are not careful, you may move your head and your life will be in danger.

Compared with Li Zicheng and Chongzhen, Huang Taiji was considered a hero. He was both tolerant, wise and ambitious to annex the Central Plains.

However, Li Yu couldn't accept it. Putting aside the century-long humiliating history of modern China and a series of unequal treaties, he could not sit idly by the massacres created by the Qing army in the Central Plains.

If we had not arrived in the Ming Dynasty, no matter how many deaths were, it would be just a number.

However, after staying here for a long time, Li Yu realized that they were all flesh and blood people, so how could they remain indifferent to the death of tens of millions of people?

He could not surrender to Li Zicheng or Chongzhen, and did not want the Qing army to enter the pass, Li Yu found that he had a long way to go.

Li Yu thought about it all night but didn't think of a good countermeasure, so he could only take one step at a time.

When he woke up the next morning, he just came out of the room and saw the matchmaker instructing Ah Hu and Monkey in the yard to practice martial arts. A thought suddenly popped up in Li Yu's mind: Although he is not suitable to learn the matchmaker's martial arts, as long as he has money, he will definitely find the right martial arts to learn.

In the past, Li Yu only thought that he was a passerby in history, never thought about staying in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, let alone anything to change.

However, as he came to the Ming Dynasty more often, he gradually changed.

First he wanted to save Lu Xiangsheng, but now he wanted to stop the Qing army from entering the Central Plains. Since this is the case, Li Yu had to prepare for staying in the Ming Dynasty for a long time.

Learning martial arts can not only strengthen his body, but also increase his own strength, but also better protect himself. How can he do more than one kill?

After breakfast, several people went out.

Dong Xiaowan didn't know what Li Yu was going to do, but since she wanted to help him, she could only walk with her.

She has lived in seclusion with her mother Bai in the past two years, and her social experience is extremely limited, otherwise she would not have let her betray her.

Fortunately, I met Li Yu. If I met someone who was bad, I might have sold Dong Xiaowan.

Li Yu hired a carriage. On the one hand, there was a lead person, and on the other hand, it could avoid letting Dong Xiaowan and the matchmaker show up and cause trouble for no reason.

Although they had just arrived in Suzhou and had a lot of things to buy, Li Yu came out today mainly to buy antiques, jewelry, porcelain and calligraphy and paintings of famous masters, which was also the reason why he called Dong Xiaowan.
