In the past few days, the exact news about the northern capital has reached Jiangnan, Wu Sangui and the Qing army outside the Guanguan have joined forces to defeat the thief Li Zicheng, and it is said that now the Jingshi has changed hands.

The small court in Nanjing was extremely excited when they heard the news, and directly put forward the slogan of "exterminating the Koukou with money", and even to the point that no matter what kind of origin and what faction, everyone supported this slogan, thinking that it was a panacea for all diseases.

After all, this is the simplest and easiest way to deal with it, the thieves will naturally collapse without their own efforts, and after the thieves collapse, Wu Sangui and other righteous teachers will naturally help the imperial court solve the northern captives, anyway, there is no better elixir in this world.

And Jin'er has already seen that Liu Yongxi's plan does not value the thieves, but regards the Qing army occupying the Beijing division as the real strong enemy of the Jingkou army, and Liu Yongxi has nothing to hide from Jin'er: "That's right, the thieves are not enough to be troubled, and the northern captives are the real henchmen, but it's a pity that the princes of the court didn't see this at all!" ”

But as soon as Jin'er talked about the thieves, she became excited: "But we are a national enmity with the thieves!" ”

Liu Yongxi found that there was no way to communicate with Jin'er normally on this issue, so he could only say bitterly: "Almost all the thieves are my Ming people and border troops who were forced to go to Liangshan, how can they be regarded as national enemies, the real hateful people are only Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, not to mention that Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing are all from thieves, there are also many people in our Jingkou Army who are born as thieves, as long as we are willing to work hard, most of the thieves can be influenced!" ”

There are at least dozens of people in the Jingkou Army who have a history of "slave thieves", and there are even more thieves in the Xing camp anyway, and now they are all the fighting backbones of the Jingkou Army, but Jin'er asked: "Then there is no way for the northern captives to be reformed?" ”

Liu Yongxi couldn't help but talk about the experience of this southern crossing: "Jin'er, you should see how tragic the killing of the Qing soldiers is on the way to the south, this is the real national enemy!" ”

Hearing Liu Yongxi say this, Jin'er finally understood a little, but she still thought that the thieves were still the biggest threat to the Jingkou Army: "Although I still think that the thieves are the national enemy, but Brother Yongxi said that Jianyu is the national enemy, then I will follow Brother Yongxi's wishes, anyway, I will listen to Brother Yongxi!" ”

Seeing Jin'er's aggrieved look, Liu Yongxi was particularly pitiful: "I can't see who is the national enemy now, it will be different in another year, since we have escaped from Beijing, we must continue the luck of the Ming Dynasty, and now our money and food have to fall on Jianyu, so we must mobilize as soon as possible!" ”

It's the first time Jin'er has heard Liu Yongxi reveal this: "Rely on the north to solve the problem of money and food? ”

She knew that after the expansion of the Jingkou Army, she would soon encounter the problem of money and food, and although Ma Shiying provided a lot of convenience and help to the Jingkou Army, the problem of money and food was almost unsolvable.

As a new army, the Jingkou Army can have the current achievements, the key is that the treatment is more generous than other armies, "money and food are enough" is not a joke, an ordinary soldier has more money and food than Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo's subordinates are twice as much, and some higher-ranking officers even fantasize about redeeming the Qinglou woman on the Qinhuai River with this military salary and the silver money saved.

However, this kind of generous treatment is based on Lu Zhenfei's advance of 5,000 people for three months, and sooner or later he will have to sit on the empty mountain, so now Jingkou Town is running for money and food, but the standard of money and grain set by the imperial court can only be at the same level as the four towns in Jiangbei at most, plus all kinds of deductions and losses, at most it is only enough to supply more than 1,000 officers and soldiers.

Moreover, now the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household are talking about the March military salary advanced by Lu Zhenfei, saying that the money and grain in Jingkou Town's hands are enough for at least half a year, so please ask Jingkou Town to solve the food and salary by itself first, and it is not too late to find them when the money and food are exhausted.

The household department even held that Liu Yongxi, the deputy commander-in-chief of Jingkou, should be promoted by the ministers and the governor's office of the five armies, and that the military department had already proposed to set up a deputy commander-in-chief of Jingkou, and that Liu Yongxi's self-proclaimed "deputy commander-in-chief of Jingkou" was in conspiracy, and if he wanted to talk about the issue of money and food, Liu Yongxi should first remove the name of "deputy commander-in-chief of Jingkou."

And now Liu Yongxi's tone and truth mean that he has given up solving the problem of money and food from within the system, although Jin'er doesn't know what kind of solution Liu Yongxi has, but she still obediently does what Liu Yongxi wants.

This is her Yongxi brother!

Facts have proved that the mobilization of the town of Jingkou under the slogan of exterminating the thieves will not help at all.

Most of the officers and soldiers in Kouzhen were born hungry and cold, and they were born with resonance with the homeless, and a small half of the veteran backbone in the Xing camp were born in the departments of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, even if a small tyrant like Wen Qing still felt that the reason why the homeless people were forced to go to Liangshan was completely because they were forced to go to Liangshan, and they did not have that unforgettable hatred for the thieves.

Therefore, when the officers and soldiers of Jingkou Town were mobilized to exterminate the thieves, the officers and men of Jingkou Town instead said that many of the homeless people had no choice but to rise up, and many officers and soldiers who were born as thieves even felt that they were more free to act and had a happier life when they were thieves.

In the end, Liu Yongxi and his ministers could only turn to "most of the thieves are good people, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the leaders of the thieves, are the most evil", and finally achieved good results, everyone feels that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are extremely evil, but there are also many bad people among the thieves, and they must not show mercy when they really encounter thieves.

But it was much easier to mobilize Jingkou Town to confront the Qing army, in fact, there was no need to mobilize, as soon as they heard that they were going to fight the Houjin soldiers, the officers and soldiers of Jingkou Town were waiting to fight to the death one by one.

It is really that the killing of the Jin soldiers is too heavy, whether it is the Cangzhou soldiers, the Linqing soldiers, the Shandong soldiers, the Huai'an soldiers or even the recently enlisted Jingkou soldiers, they all have a very painful family history.

Even if his family survived the butcher's knife of the Qing army, there are many tragic examples around him, and even the Qin soldiers in Xingying can tell many sad stories, and they don't know how many siblings have died at the hands of Jiannu over the years.

Now Jin'er admits that Liu Yongxi was indeed prescient, and this is the best way to mobilize Jingkou Town, but this is completely against the imperial court, fortunately, the imperial court has been busy with money to exterminate Kou recently, and has not bothered to take care of Jingkou Town at the doorstep.

Moreover, during this period of time, countless thrilling scenes have been staged in the southern capital across the river, which made Jin'er and Hui'er realize for the first time that this court is completely different from the Beijing Division.

Zhang Shenyan, the current secretary of the ministry, is a member of the Donglin Party, so he has recovered countless Donglin Party members and allies of the Donglin Party, and Donglin's enemies are doomed to be in great difficulty if they want to recover, so Jin'er was taken aback by the candidate for the new governor of Huaiyang: "Tian Yang didn't sincerely recommend the reinstatement?" How could Zhang Shenyan agree to take over the governor of Huaiyang? ”
