Chapter 563 Kill all the wolves and jackals in the world!
~~~~~~~
The conflict between Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong can be said to have been around for a long time.
Since the early years of Chongzhen, when the bandits broke out in the Central Plains, the two of them have been basically 'frequent visitors' to various parts of the Central Plains!
At that time, the Qin army under He Renlong's command was much more powerful than the 'miscellaneous army' under Zuo Liangyu's command, so they naturally had a lot more confidence in their words!
But, things are changing.
As time went by, Zuo Liangyu became stronger and stronger as he fought in the Central Plains, with more than 100,000 troops under his command. Although He Renlong did not say that he became weaker as he fought, his strength was almost the same as before.
The change.
Even if it was Zuo Liangyu's title of "Ping Thief General", Yang Sichang originally planned to give it to Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong who had more military exploits, but in the end, due to Zuo Liangyu's power, Yang Sichang had to bow his head.
Put He Renlong aside for the time being.
This is also the source of the worsening conflict between the two!
However, having said that, He Renlong is straightforward and uninhibited. He leads troops almost solely based on his personal preference. He is too gangster. To put it nicely, He Renlong has the style of a 'fierce general', but to put it bluntly,
The point is that this person is too stupid and doesn't know how to compromise, let alone how to adapt!
But on the other hand, Zuo Liangyu, although he is weaker than He Renlong in terms of the prowess of his soldiers, he is very good at winning people's hearts and is almost "unruly". Even when Liu Ruyi sent troops to the Central Plains,
I also received "favor" from Zuo Liangyu and was promoted to Jinan City guerrilla!
As the saying goes, 'If you're not afraid of comparing goods, you're afraid of comparing yourself to others!'
As the saying goes, 'The real story is in the details!'
In the late Ming Dynasty, there were so many rogue bandits, but the court was unable to provide the most direct support in many aspects!
This has also led to many smaller government and military forces and landlord groups training and armed forces. If they want to survive, they must rely on the "big tree"!
After all, you can enjoy the shade under a big tree!
But looking at the situation in Huguang at this time, Yang Sichang was just a "simple commander" with a pitiful number of soldiers and horses under his command. Even though the court had great righteousness, he was unable to change the reality at all. He could only "talk on paper and look at the foreign affairs and sigh"!
The only ones left with fighting ability are He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu!
But due to the personalities of the two, it is no wonder that Huguang Haoqiang will choose!
The cause of this 'farce' in Yicheng is also very simple!
He Renlong's Qin Army headquarters has been stationed in the Yunyang Mansion area at the junction of Shaanxi, Henan, and Huguang. It can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and can almost stabilize the overall situation in the northwest. Zuo Liangyu's army is stationed in
Prosperous 'big cities' such as Xiangyang, Wuchang, and Jiangling are also closely arranged!
If both sides are in peace, they can control the situation of Huguangda!
But the army is a thing where people eat horses and eat horses every day, which is a pure mass consumption of people!
Although Liu Ruyi provided free support of 200,000 taels of silver, He Renlong's Qin army also had nearly 10,000 troops, and the daily expenses were definitely not a fraction!
As for the imperial court, the payment of funds has been delayed, and the main force of the thieves has almost disappeared. He Renlong is spending time in Yunyang at this time, which is almost equivalent to sitting on nothing!
In addition, He Renlong has always been unwilling to admit defeat. Although he accepted Liu Ruyi's money, he also knew that this was not a long-term solution. After all, the two of them were brothers, but they were short-handed when eating others and short-handed when taking advantage. As time went by,
This is how He Renlong raised his head in front of Liu Ruyi?
So, He Renlong followed Zuo Liangyu's example and sent troops to the powerful families in Yunyang Prefecture to seek support from the locals!
However, Yunyang Mansion is located in a mountainous area and has an extremely backward economy. In addition, over the years, the Xianthief Tribe, the Gezuo Tribe, and the 'Cao Cao' Tribe have almost regarded this place as their 'base camp.' The local wealthy families have suffered terribly.
He couldn't even get enough to eat, so where could he get the money and food to give him the blessing?
However, He Renlong is not stupid either!
They are all the Huguang reinforcements from the imperial court. How come you, Zuo Liangyu, can occupy the most prosperous big cities, while I can only nest in the ravines of Yunyang Mansion where no bird shits?
After thinking about it, He Renlong decided to send troops out of Yunyang to "beg for alms" in the rich areas around Xiangyang Prefecture to solve the increasingly heavy military consumption problem.
But thinking about this kind of thing is one side, but doing it is another side.
These powerful people in Xiangyang Prefecture have already given Zuo Liangyu a "protection fee", so why are they willing to pay He Renlong a second amount?
In this way, the conflict between the two parties will become more and more intense!
However, Xiangyang is a capital city, where the nobles of the Huguang vassal and high-ranking officials of the imperial court live. Although He Renlong is "stunned", he is not stupid, and he does not dare to cause trouble here.
But Yicheng near Xiangyang is the south gate of Xiangyang Prefecture, and it is not too far away from Wuchang City where Zuo Liangyu is at this time. Therefore, this place became the perfect place for He Renlong to take action!
He Renlong works "simple and rough", this is simply his trademark, and this time is no exception.
The Zuo Army garrison in Yicheng was less than 500 men, and there was only one Zuo Army Deputy Qianhu to guard it.
The three hundred soldiers under He Renlong's command failed to seek alms in Yicheng, so they naturally went directly to the Zuojun garrison camp to ask for an explanation.
But the Qin army looked down on the Zuo army, so how could the Zuo army ever look down on the Qin army?
Before the two sides even exchanged a few words, a full-on martial arts show took place!
Of course, this was an internal fight after all, and no one on either side dared to use ordnance, but even so, after a dark 'fierce battle', dozens of people on both sides died, and almost everyone was injured!
He Renlong had been planning for a long time and immediately led his army to ‘kill’!
Zuo Liangyu was naturally not to be outdone!
Are you kidding me? Crazy crazy guy, you want to ride on me?
Immediately, Zuo Liangyu also ordered all the soldiers and horses of Wuchang, fifty or sixty thousand people, to attack Yicheng with great momentum!
The two sides camped less than a mile away, glaring at each other and confronting each other!
But this kind of thing is almost equivalent to 'rebellion', and the stakes are very high. Although the two sides have stepped up their posture, no one dares to actually take action!
They are just stalling for time and preparing to let the imperial court or someone with more weight mediate this dispute!
It is a pity that Yang Sichang was mentally and physically exhausted at this time and his body was on the verge of collapse. He was bedridden and had no energy or ability to resolve the dispute between Zuo Liangyu and He Renlong!
The officials under his command had no choice but to report this matter to the court as quickly as possible!
Back then, when Liu Ruyi was encircling and suppressing the Xian thieves, Xiangyang General Luo Anbang, who was closely attached to Liu Ruyi, immediately informed Liu Ruyi of the matter!
At this time, it was several days earlier than the court heard the news!
~~~~~~
In the spacious tent, Dong Xiaowan was like a cute cat, already sleeping in Liu Ruyi's arms, but Liu Ruyi frowned and slowly fell into deep thought!
In this world, why are there so many things that need to be done personally?
The general reason is here!
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but smile and shook her head.
Whether it is He Renlong or Zuo Liangyu, their vision has always been limited to the three-thirds of an acre of land in front of them. How have they ever considered the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty at this time?
In the Battle of Songshan, although the Caishi Army was lucky enough to win, the main force of the Qing Army was not lost and was still strong. It was still the life and death enemy of the Ming Dynasty!
In the Battle of the Central Plains, although the Caishi Army defeated Li Zicheng's "500,000" army, due to various reasons, although Li Zicheng's arm was cut off, the strength of the camp could not be underestimated. At this time, they retreated to southern Shaanxi and western Henan.
The living water at the junction may come back to life at some point!
As for the Huguang and Xianthief tribes, they were like a poisonous snake spitting out a bright red snake letter. I don't know when, he would jump out and bite Ming Dynasty's already weak body!
In the southeast, although the Japanese pirates have subsided, the fleets of the Dutch and Spanish have penetrated deeply into this land that Marco Polo praised as "gold everywhere". At this time, on the treasure island, the Dutch are afraid that they have already
Have you started building the fortress?
Moreover, according to the information Dong Xiaowan told him, the Colored Stone Chamber of Commerce has a batch of goods in the southeast, which seems to be stuck in the hands of the Dutch. There is still no result. If they cannot get an explanation, they will probably suffer heavy losses!
And further north, the most valiant and combat-savvy Cossack Cavalry Regiment under Polar Bear's command may have already stretched out their shining steel swords against the vast Siberia and the fertile Far East!
In the west, the Tatars, who have become attached to the polar bears, and many Islamic tribes under the teachings of the Qur'an are also pampered and want to cut off their territory and seal their borders!
In Southeast Asia, with the rise of colonialism, the Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, British, and French are plundering gold, spices, ores, and many other wealth that originally belonged to the Chinese at a crazy speed!
But due to the weakness of the imperial court, these hard-working ancestors could only watch as the wealth they had accumulated through hard work and sweat was taken away by those white-haired ghosts, and even their lives were not guaranteed!
The four places of the Ming Dynasty were actually already in danger!
The dignity of the Ming Dynasty and the five thousand years of glory of the Chinese nation are being challenged by the most outrageous provocation in the world!
But as for the imperial court...
Liu Ruyi breathed out a deep breath feebly!
If you want to change, you still have to rely on yourself!
You can only rely on yourself to make the glory of the Chinese nation bloom among the world's strongest!
Just as the "Wutai Poetry Case" said, "Even if a divine dragon rises across the sea, it is difficult to have the heroic spirit to sacrifice to Wutai! The evil slaves gathered together to bark at Yao and Shun, and all the people sighed in unison for the talented people! I vowed to turn the inch pipe into a long sword to kill all the wolves and wolves in the world.
Jackal! If he returns home in triumph, I will come back again!'
Whether a person or a nation wants to embark on the path of becoming strong, the process will undoubtedly be filled with countless hardships!
Blood, bones, killing, shouting, breaking free...
This is a process that cannot be avoided at all and must be faced head-on!
"Since God has given me such an opportunity and I have reached this point, what reason do I have to escape or retreat? So what if there are many difficulties and dangers? So what if there is a river of blood? Even if I have to bear eternal infamy, what will happen?
how?"
Liu Ruyi clenched her fist tightly, but there was a fierceness in her eyes that she had never seen before!
How big your heart is, how far your dreams are!
No matter how far your dream is, you will force yourself to transform your dream into reality step by step!
However, the meal must be eaten bite by bite, and the road must be walked step by step!
At this time, the door of Huguang has been opened to me, so starting from Huguang, let the whole world tremble under the feet of me and the Caishi Army!!!
