"Sure enough, it's still like this!" Li Zicheng sighed.
Butterfly wings can't flap, so it won't change much for the time being. Just die, because the other party won't be able to join the revolutionary army anyway.
By the time Li Zicheng rushed back to the county seat, the fighting here had subsided.
Shen Yiyuan was shot and killed, and the second leader Gao Yingdeng also died on the spot.
Fortunately, Shen Yikui led his troops to the rescue in time, preventing a huge rout.
Li Zicheng brought some belongings and went to express his condolences.
When the big boss dies, the people of the God tribe are moved.
The next day, the rest of the crowd elected the leader of the gods.
Including the newly recruited refugees, they now number nearly 10,000 people.
Li Zicheng only selected two to three hundred recruits.
Before I could take a few breaths, on the 23rd of the first lunar month, officers and soldiers from the northern and southern brigades moved in to suppress the security guards.
To the north is Du Wenhuan.1
Du Wenhuan, the nephew of Du Song. Du Song was the one known as "Master Du" and was killed in the Battle of Sarhu.
During the She'an Rebellion, She Chongming besieged Chengdu, and Du Wenhuan led the troops to rescue him. He was promoted to the Prime Minister and unified the armies of Sichuan, Guizhou, and Huguang. At that time, Du Wenhuan probably could not control the thieves, so he passed away due to illness. After his recovery, he returned to Yansui and guarded the border.
.
In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Lao Du returned to Ningxia. Ningyuan and Jinzhou alerted the police, and ordered Du Wenhuan to rush to help. He was ordered to branch out to Ningyuan. He entered the right governor and was transferred to close the door. Soon he reported illness and returned home.
When chaos broke out in Shaanxi, Governor Yang He asked Du Wenhuan to supervise the affairs of Yansui and also supervise the Guyuan Army.
After Wang Jiayin fled to Shanxi, he made Du Wenhuan the admiral and also took control of Shanxi, and the Shaanxi army negotiated.
He had originally chased across the Yellow River with Cao Wenzhao to trouble Wang Jiayin, but Shen Yiyuan captured Ningsai and massacred his family.
When Old Man Du heard the report, his eyes were completely torn apart, and Cao Wenzhao left Cao's troops in Shanxi. He led his troops back.
This guy had some dirty tricks. "Last winter in Yanchuan, one hundred and ninety-nine villagers, including men and women, were killed in the vertical division. When the county magistrate heard about the king's behavior, Li Tianjing, the inspector general, impeached him."
Following Old Man Du were two talented generals, Zuo Guangxian and Bai Bangzheng.
It needs to be explained that in the late Ming Dynasty, there were two Zuo Guangxian, one from Zhejiang and one from Qin, one for Wen and one for Wu.
Zhejiang civil servant Zuo Guangxian was the younger brother of the famous Donglin Party member Zuo Guangdou, let’s not mention it for now. 1
Shaanxi military attache Zuo Guangxian was born in Yulin martial arts. He first served as a guard at Shenjing Fort in Xuanfu. In the second year of Chongzhen, he was transferred to Yansui Town to teach firearms. 2
He has been following Hong Chengchou to encircle and suppress the peasant army, and has made many contributions. Now he has just been promoted from Zuoying guerrilla to general.
Those coming from the north were elite border troops, while those coming from the south were led by General He Huchen and Deputy General Li Bei, who were also good at fighting.
In short, this battle is difficult to win.
"Second brother, the army will arrive in two days at most. How should we deal with it?"
Shen Yikui stroked his beard and smiled, "Du Wenhuan is so powerful, Brother Yu is not without his back-ups."
"Second brother has a good idea?"
Shen Yikui nodded, "Brother, just wait and see the good show."
Take a look!
What can I hide from Li Shenxian?
Shen Yikui only relies on the two or three thousand Mongolians outside the Great Wall. Please help!
You slaughtered Old Man Du’s whole family, and they didn’t come to fight for you? Can you stop them?
By the way, this old man Du will soon be raped again for killing a good man and taking credit for his crimes. It’s not easy after so many ups and downs.
Anyway, Li Zicheng can't play with Shen Yikui anymore.
On the other side, Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu continued to entertain the small leaders of the Ministry of God.
"Brother, the army brigade is coming, it's hard to fight."
Ma Shiyao wiped the drink from the corner of his mouth and said, "If you can beat me, then fight. If you can't beat me, then run away." 1
Zhang Nengchou said: "I see. The battle we fought a few days ago was really infuriating. There were so many formations between the officers and soldiers to resist the carriages, but the leader still wanted to charge up. There was a burst of cannons and blunderbuss, and the brothers died in vain.
How much?" 2
Xin Sizhong grinned, "Hey, you tinker, do you still understand this?" 3
Zhang Neng argued: "What happened to Tinker? I can ride a horse at the age of five and shoot an arrow at the age of ten. I grew up in a military camp. I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running. What do you know, you slutty Tatar?"
?”
"Can you please stop bringing this up all the time? Let your brother see the joke." Xin Sizhong scratched his head in embarrassment.
Zhang Neng turned to Liu Zongmin and asked, "Senior Monk, what is the constitution of your family's general leadership?"
Liu Zongmin spread his hands and said, "Isn't this clear? You have nearly ten thousand troops, but are there any of them who can fight with one thousand? The total number of officers and soldiers from several groups is at least five thousand. They are all experienced in wars and can compete with each other?"
"
Old God Xin Sizhong said: "Our reinforcements will arrive soon, we may not lose him."
Zhang Neng snorted, "There's no point in showing off to the Tatars!"
Ma Shiyao asked, "Does the commander-in-chief mean to withdraw? Where to go?"
Tian Jianxiu began to analyze, "Northern Shaanxi is in trouble. Not to mention natural disasters, various rebel armies have been running for more than three years, and how many counties are there that have not been attacked? It will not be easy to find food in the future..."
Xin Sizhong interjected: "The leader seems to be intending to go west, to Ningxia."
Tian Jian Xiuyi waved his hand, "That's a suicide! Brothers, think about it, Wang Jiayin has tens of thousands of people, why did he go to Shanxi? Only Yansui Town's officers and soldiers can't stop it, so you still want to go to Ningxia? There are two of them.
Tens of thousands of border troops are eating for nothing? Not to mention Guyuan Town, Gansu Town, Du Wenhuan will definitely follow and pursue them, is there a way to survive in the past? "
Zhang Neng shook his head: "I guess the leader still wants to join the Tatars. Alas!"
Xin Sizhong couldn't bear it any longer, "Why do you keep looking at me? I'm not a Tatar, I'm a purebred Yulin Wei man."
Liu Zongmin hurriedly smoothed things over, "Okay, okay, we are all brothers, don't make trouble."
Zhang Neng turned and sighed, "If you ask me, your commander is really amazing. I don't know how he trained his troops to look so neat and tidy. What's even more commendable is that all the thousands of soldiers wear sheepskin coats and cotton hats."
, makes me jealous..."
"That's right." Ma Shiyao nodded, "The commander-in-chief doesn't like luxury either. He broke into the city and ransacked the houses. How many carts did he pull with the good stuff? The fox and mink skins were not used, and he was still wearing a sheepskin coat."
Tian Jianxiu said with a smile: "In the words of the commander-in-chief, our revolutionary army eats together when we have food, and we starve together when there is no food. This is called equality between officers and soldiers."
Xin Sizhong was puzzled, "What's the point? Isn't it just for the sake of food and drink that you risk your life to raise an army?"
Liu Zongmin explained: "Brother, what you said is right or wrong. The commander-in-chief of my family said that you should first be bitter before the sweet. Let's endure it for a few years. Good times are coming. You are enjoying it now, and you will be beheaded by the army in a few days.
Yes, I need it!"
The three little bosses sighed.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Tian Jianxiu picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, three brothers, have a drink. I will leave tomorrow, see you again. Take care!"
Liu Zongmin clinked glasses with the three of them and added, "Brothers, if you are interested in following the commander-in-chief to share the glory and wealth, see you at the North Gate tomorrow morning."
Ma Shiyao, Xin Sizhong and Zhang Neng looked at each other, covered their heads and drank.
After seeing the three people off, Tian Jianxiu and Liu Zongmin hadn't left yet, but Zhang Neng came back.
The three of them chatted for a few words and went to find the commander together.
…
Li Zicheng was taking Feng Qilong to watch the training of new recruits.
As soon as he approached the training ground, he heard a scream from the marching queue.
Li Guo slapped the recruit with a stick and yelled, "Idiot! Do you usually walk with the same hands and feet?"
"I don't dare anymore..."
Li Guo slapped the stick again, "No brains!"
"Young one, I know..."
Li Guo continued to smoke, "I don't have a long memory!"
Liu Dacang received three sticks and grinned in pain. He finally remembered the rules and said, "Report!" 4
Li Guo shouted to the queue: "Once again, if you do something wrong, you will be reported for slow beating; if you want to lift your pants or go to the latrine, you will be reported."
"Step together~ Let's go! Duck, duck, yeah, left, left, right, left, left, left, stand at attention!"
Seeing the general coming, Li Guo stopped the troops.
Li Zicheng gave the recruits a few words of training before disbanding and resting.
It happened that Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu came to report on the poaching situation.
"Brother, I haven't seen you. When I said that officers and soldiers are equal, all three of them were shocked."
"When did I say that officers and soldiers are equal? What nonsense! When you see a soldier, you have to give him a fist and salute first? Do you not have better food than the soldiers? Do you not get more money than the soldiers?"
"..." Tian Jianxiu was confused. This chapter has been completed!
