Chapter 246: Li Dingguo's Proposal (Addition)
After Zhang Xianzhong's plan to go to Jianchang Mansion to grab a large household failed, he began to secretly contact the various subordinates to join his old camp, preparing to join forces again to find a place to start.
However, after the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers during this period, some of the rogues scattered throughout Jiangxi were eliminated, and some felt that they had no future as anti-thieves and ran away on their own.
In the end, only half of the rebels were gathered back, and Zhang Xianzhong was helpless, he won the battle to recruit people, and there were a large number of people who couldn't get along to join the rebels after casually publicizing and promoting, but once the battle was defeated, there were more people who ran away, and everyone was so realistic.
After this battle, Zhang Xianzhong wavered in his life goal, he originally thought he was a cow, but he didn't expect that there were so many cattle in the world........
In a mountain col, Zhang Xianzhong rubbed his hands and asked everyone: "Who is in command of the officers and soldiers now?" ”
His righteous son Kewang said: "Father, now the officers and soldiers are waving the banner of the crown prince, especially that Huang Degong, who has been chasing us behind. ”
Zhang Xianzhong cursed: "Damn! Are these dog officers and soldiers evil this year? Chased Lao Tzu all the way! And the emperor's son, Lao Tzu cursed him for getting acne, okay, it's also a pockmarked face! ”
Everyone was speechless, they were embarrassed to say anything about him, the rebels were so embarrassed that everyone was angry.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Xianzhong said again: "What should I do next?" Where to go? Let's discuss it together. ”
Luo Rucai coughed and said: "The situation is not very clear now, the officers and soldiers will definitely not stop there, they will definitely besiege our righteous army, it depends on whether we can withstand it, if we can't withstand it, then there is no need to say anything, just flee." ”
Zhang Xianzhong said unhappily: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Didn't the emperor's son come to Jiangxi to deal with us? If you can't stand it, run away, what if you can stand it down? Where to go? ”
The current situation made Luo Rucai's head bigger, he pondered for a moment and said: "It's definitely not okay to go to Guangdong, the land of Liangguang is too poor, and it's stable over there, we can't get a foothold at all when we go, if we go to Fujian, there will be disasters in the past few years, many people will run to the chicken coop, and there are few people who rebel........"
Zhang Xianzhong said unhappily: "Then we can only wait for death?" ”
Sun Kewang suddenly said: "Father, the richest man in our Ming Dynasty is in Fujian, I heard that the surnamed Zheng can earn tens of millions of taels of silver a year, or let's rob him!" ”
Luo Rucai glanced at him and said, "Hopefully, if you want to die, your uncle won't pull you, and the surname Zheng is something you can provoke?" The imperial court doesn't know the strength of the surname Zheng, even if we come out to rob the road for several years, you don't know what the market is in various places? ”
Sun Kewang hesitated and said: "Master Cao, is this surnamed Zheng very powerful?" ”
Luo Rucai rolled his eyes and said: "This surnamed Zheng has tens of thousands of people, and the personal guards are either black guys, or some red-haired and yellow-haired ghosts, and I don't know where they got it, these red, yellow and black people play with good firearms, you go to provoke him?" Be careful of being thrown into the sea by the surname Zheng and drifting corpses! ”
Sun Kewang stopped talking for a while, this surname Zheng is so mysterious, what kind of people are his subordinates!
Seeing that it was cold, Li Dingguo opened his mouth and said: "Father, Master Cao, the young general has a word." ”
Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said, "You say." ”
Li Dingguo looked at everyone and said, "We can go to Sichuan!" Now that Sichuan is empty, we can wave our troops into Sichuan, open up a new battlefield, and then occupy a strategic place, and then control the entire territory of Sichuan! ”
Li Dingguo said: "I believe that in less than a year, Sichuan will no longer be owned by the imperial court, and when we gain a firm foothold, we will go out of Sichuan again, and then attack Shaanxi, Gansu and other places. ”
Several people listened to Li Dingguo's words, they were all shocked, this idea was too bold, but the possibility of success was very great, what the situation would be at that time, everyone dared not imagine.
Now Zhang Xianzhong does not have the idea of becoming the emperor on his own, he just wants to have a good life, as for recruiting troops and horses for development, that does not exist, and now Zhang Xianzhong is just a rogue thought, including Luo Rucai and Li Zicheng.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, only Li Yan of Henan Province was different from the hooligans, he participated in the revolutionary movement with Confucian feelings of helping the world, and also hoped to change the nature of this revolutionary movement, but Li Gongzi failed, and was jealous of the revolutionary leader Li Zicheng, and was killed for no reason.
Of course, the current Li Yan is implementing the life concept of being poor and helping the world in his hometown of Henan, and has not yet participated in the Liukou.
Sun Kewang pursed his lips and said, "Fourth brother, what you said sounds good, but how can we get to Sichuan?" In the middle of the gap is a large Huguang, I heard that some time ago Huguang implemented what kind of tuntian, recruited more than 100,000 troops, how do we get over? ”
Zhang Xianzhong also said: "Yes, what should I do when I meet Shizhu soldiers in Sichuan?" Qin Liangyu's mother-in-law is not easy to deal with, especially the white pole soldiers under her, we have all been taught......."
Li Dingguo said: "Father, after arriving in Sichuan, Qin Liangyu, we can ignore her first, we don't fight her stone pillars, just send troops to attack other toasts, those toasts are very realistic!" ”
Li Dingguo said: "As for how to pass through Huguang, the child also has a plan, we can send a group of men and horses to attack Changsha Mansion, there are two vassal kings in Changsha City, once attacked, the officers and soldiers of Huguang will definitely gather in Changsha, and then we can enter Sichuan from Yongzhou and Huaihua in the south of Huguang." ”
"If the father is not at ease, we can also send a force to attack Hengzhou, Hengzhou also has a wealthy King Gui, no matter which way we succeed, the officers and soldiers will suffer a big loss, even if both roads fail, it doesn't matter, at least attract the army of Huguang, we can safely enter Sichuan from the south of Huguang, which is weakly defended!"
Everyone listened to Li Dingguo's eloquent talk, and they all felt that it was very reasonable, and Luo Rucai said: "Brother Huanghu, you have accepted a good righteous son, you are only eighteen years old this year, you have such knowledge, it's not easy!" ”
Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile: "Dingguo is the most perceptive among my four righteous sons, and he is also the hardest-working, which is really good!" ”
Li Dingguo nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Father Xie and Cao Ye praised him." ”
After hearing this, Sun Kewang on the side felt very uncomfortable, feeling that he was being compared, at this moment, he became more and more jealous of Li Dingguo from the heart, he looked more handsome than himself, and his brain was good, the most important thing was that the fourth brother had mastered his father's 20,000 horses since last year.......
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Then who to send to attack Changsha Mansion, and who to send to attack Hengzhou Mansion?" ”
Luo Rucai took a sip of spring water, and then looked at the clouds in the sky, as if he hadn't heard.
Everyone knows that going to these two places to drag the officers and soldiers is tantamount to sending them to death, and Luo Rucai naturally does not want to be this cannon fodder.
Sun Kewang looked at Zhang Xianzhong and said: "Father, the fourth brother can make this suggestion, which shows that he is very sure, otherwise let the fourth brother go." ”
Li Dingguo glanced at Sun Kewang calmly and said, "Father, let me and my eldest brother go to Changsha and Hengzhou respectively, and you and Cao Ye will retreat first." ”
"This ......" Sun Kewang opened his mouth, and just wanted to say something, but Zhang Xianzhong immediately answered.
Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile: "Lao Tzu didn't raise you for so many years in vain, so I did it!" Time is pressing, Dingguo, you take people to attack Changsha Mansion, it is expected, you go to attack Hengzhou Mansion, you only need to delay for three days, and immediately go to Huaihua to meet and enter Sichuan together after three days! ”
Zhang Xianzhong smiled, Luo Rucai clapped his hands, Li Dingguo nodded with a smile, only Sun Kewang looked confused........
