"Yin Shang defeated the army, in fact, the descendants of Emperor Shaohao, its people are decorated with good feathers, 10,000 years ago, the defeated army went west for 20,000 miles, and could not cross the sea, Emperor Haotian could not bear it in his heart, Shi could not exert force, frozen the sea for thousands of miles, so that the descendants of Shaohao crossed the sea and went, and then found that the land of Fusang was the place where the ancient god Donghuang Taiyi dwelled."

Although he was very disdainful of Ruoshuidao's practice of a magic stick, Xu Hongzu, who had always adhered to Zi Buzhi's strange and chaotic approach, had to admit that after several big classes by Ruoshuidao, these hundreds of students who were going to Fusang Country were greatly enlightened and knew very well how to communicate with strangers.

Not only were the hearts of the young people who were about to embark on the expedition boiling, but they all thought from the bottom of their hearts that it was not a difficult move, but just a visit to a distant relative's house that they had not walked for many years. Although it may be difficult and dangerous, it is not a fatal thing.

Especially when everyone saw the large and small cannons on the ten huge Fu ships on the dock, and the waterline that was pressed very low, everyone became more and more excited.

"According to those Francos, Spaniards, and Portuguese, the descendants of the Yin Shang did not even have copper and iron swords in the first place, and we have so many firearms and ships, and we are afraid that we will not be able to complete the errand of the main bus generation?"

"That's it! Didn't we cross this sea on ice, didn't someone already go there? I also know the general situation along the way, not to mention the need to resupply in Japan and other places?! ”

"I heard that our expedition team is going to recruit thousands of people in Japan as auxiliaries. I'll have to talk to the Taoist chief when I get back. Shall we recruit some daimyo and samurai's daughters in Japan to take them on the ship, so that there will be a relief on the way? ”

"Huh! I've heard that Taoists pay attention to Ding furnace medicinal utensils, so can this be regarded as let's get some medicinal utensils for the Taoist chief? ”

A few guys hid in the corner and let out a knowing smile.

"The Taoist classics have clouds, one life is two, two is three, and three is everything. The so-called gods of various sects in this world are nothing more than the doppelgangers and projections of my Haotian God in various sects! The so-called Lao Tzu traveled west to turn into Hu, and when he arrived in Tianzhu, he became Sakyamuni, and when he arrived at the Great Cannibal of Heaven, he became their prophet. And to the east to the east. His shadow has become the god Amaterasu in the mouth of the Wakoku! ”

On the podium. If the chief of the waterway is sonorous and powerful, he continues to sell private goods to the students impassionedly.

"Poor Dao thinks that today we should tell the world that the various religions are just branches of my Taoist Heavenly Emperor Dao!"

"And from the point of view of the poor, in today's world. I have been selected by God to enter the world to save the people of Li from fire and water! ”

That's it. If the chief of the waterway keeps his tone very calm. But the tone was full of mystery, fully demonstrating a qualified high-level god stick professional Su zhì.

"Poor Dao is not afraid of retribution from heaven for leaking heavenly secrets, you know. Who is this man who was born at the right time? ”

Wakamichi's tone was full of mystery and temptation.

"Who?"

The sailors who wanted to purchase the daughters of daimyo and samurai in Japan as sailors for use in the army couldn't help but ask casually.

Looking at Nanzhong, who do you think is worthy of the four words of the command? Who brought us from a quiet corner of the river, where thousands of people are now? From tens of thousands of people fighting for food and clothing, it has gradually become a unified southern and central region, and tens of thousands of miles of people are singing in peace? ”

"Build big ships, cast artillery, make steel, and build water conservancy. Benefiting the people's livelihood and opening up wasteland, who is called the chosen character of the gods by the people of Nanzhong? ”

Wakamichi's words don't say who it is, but it's very directional and suggestive.

"This guy is so bewitching and confusing the public, big brother, why didn't you, as a chief historian, order him to be taken and sent to prison for questioning?"

In the last row of the large classroom, Li Peiting sat aside with some indignation, and listened calmly to Ruoshui Dao on the podium and loudly preach his theory and necessity of establishing the Heavenly Emperor Dao.

This man's words are quite absurd, but there is no sufficient argument to refute him. Besides, the lord also had his intention in placing this person here. The so-called white moon and sand in the people are all medicinal materials, not to mention a big living person? With him here, the students would not have any fear of going out to sea. ”

Hearing that his brother compared the way of employing people to the prescription prescribed for treatment, Li Peiting couldn't help but smile. "Brother, I didn't expect that you, a strict person, would have such a narrow time, comparing this generation to the white of the people and the sand of the moon, and it is really scolding people without dirty words!"

(The so-called white in the human body is the urine of all of us, and the sand in the moon, you might as well guess what it is?)

All right! It is estimated that as long as the students who are not engaged in the profession are not clear, then the answer is revealed, the sand in the middle of the month is rabbit! ）

"This guy has been in Hue for several months, constantly agitating among the people, claiming that the lord was sent by Haotian God to help the world and save the people, and that the various religions are just two theories of different variants of Taoism in various places. In just a few months, there have been many foolish men and fools, old people who have invited the so-called blessed lord tablet home from him to worship, second brother, don't you think that this person will be of great benefit to the thing that you and I have been planning in our hearts? ”

Hearing Li Peilin's understatement, Li Peiting's eyes couldn't help but shine!

Since the day he followed Li Shouhan, the two brothers have not been aiming to put Shouhan on the throne of the emperor. Only when the Han guards ascend to the great treasure can his Tieling Li family have the day to turn over again. Overthrew the Ming State and made Shouhan the founding lord of the country, so that he not only avenged the great revenge, but also became the founding father of Conglong. This is the ultimate goal of the two Li brothers!

"So, is it just for this reason that my brother is so eager to summon me back? If it is for this matter, the elder brother will say, is it money or people? In a hurry, Li Peiting began to look around, as if he was going to call his follower over and order him to take out the silver immediately.

"This must not be taken lightly. This is the chief of the waterway, and the lord has already made arrangements. He was ordered to go with the team to the Americas that the Hongmaoyi people said, that is, the Fusang country where he said that the descendants of Yin Shang were called. Even if you want to support him with money, you will not do so until he returns from America. ”

"Alas! Brother, when will we be able to get what we want in this important matter? ”

"What are you panicking about!" Li Peilin gave his younger brother a blank look, "Didn't you already send someone to quietly promote the Tui Bei Tui and folk songs that circulated in various parts of the Central Plains in Liangguang, Fujian, and Nanzhili?" There are also signs in various parts of the south and central China. As long as the mainland continues to be in turmoil, even if the lord himself is unwilling, he will be pushed to that position by the destiny of heaven! ”

Li Peiting rushed back from the Central Plains this time, in addition to avoiding the waves of envoys sent by Huang Taiji, he reported to Li Shouhan. At the same time, we will continue to organize the dumping of cotton cloth in the Central Plains and all parts of the Yangtze River. One can make a lot of money. The two piggyback on the cotton spinning industry controlled by the Jiangnan Group.

"If it is in my opinion, Chongzhen Xiao'er is sitting on the crater of the volcano without knowing it. The thieves inside the gate, the bugling brother Tong outside the gate, any one of them can kill him! If it weren't for the lord's repeated orders, he would have repeatedly given strict orders. It is forbidden to sell weapons and food to Tong Starling. I'll just sell him a little more. I'm afraid that the starling is walking his horse in front of Shanhaiguan at this time! ”

Along the tree-lined road between the university halls, in a circle far away from the two brothers' guards, the Li brothers could do a little in-depth exploration.

"But I read what the newspaper said. The officers and troops are fighting well at the moment, and the progress step by step is quite smooth. The siege of Jinzhou has been lifted. The next step is how to defeat the main rebel force of the Lao Tong family in order to ensure the safety of the cities in western Liaoning. ”

"Whew! Brother, how do you believe the words in those newspapers? The newspaper also said countless times that the official army killed the starling, captured the second brother, and the fourteenth brother and Hukou and others were seriously injured and died, and the fifteenth brother was wrapped in red silk and continued to fight with the tiger's mouth! ”

"Now the thieves inside the gate are raging, and the outside of the gate is also in a state of stalemate. Although the imperial court reported one victory after another, according to the merchant who delivered the supplies, the loss of the Liao thief was not large, and our Tong Starling was clearly the Uncle Tong who was studying back then. Although Inspector Hong is stronger than Yang Hao, a fool, he is not much better! If it weren't for the traitor Wu Biao to help him support him, I'm afraid that his head would have hung on the head of Shenyang City at this time! ”

"What really makes our Bugs Tong feel anxious has to be us! The Saurons I armed with the armor and guns of Jiannu have been attacking sporadically behind Starlings since the beginning of spring. Although it is said that the results of each battle are not big at present, but there are many times, dozens or hundreds of times, and the loss of Ding Zhuang's population on the starling's side is a number that makes him feel more painful! ”

"That's why the starling brother and the fourteenth brother sent countless people all over the world to find you?"

"It's not just for me to restrain the Saurons' offensive, they mainly want to procure food and ammunition. But if the lord doesn't speak, how many heads do I dare to do this? Even if I agree to it with a moment of lard, these things can't get out of Nanzhong! ”

"What is the situation with the officers and soldiers? You won't really destroy the old Tong family, right? Li Peilin also couldn't figure out whether the family in Shenyang was a side branch of the Li family in Tieling, whether it was or not, it was always right to care.

"Extinguished? Brother, you really got cheated by those mansions! Don't say that it will be destroyed, even if we stay out of the matter and don't help Starling, and then provide a qiē military supplies to the official army, their best result is at most to kill and wound Starling's subordinates, and then both sides will collect their own troops. Then when Inspector Hong checked the casualties in Jinzhou or Ningyuan, he found that he had killed 3,000 enemies and lost 5,000 himself! After that, the imperial court made it clear to the world that Liaodong had won a great victory! ”

"Oh! But so! Li Peilin heard what his brother said, his brain was spinning rapidly, and he wanted to analyze and sort out the meaningful information for the Nanyue Army from what his brother saw and heard, and help defend the Han to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages.

"However, Wu Biao, an anti-water thief, has not been in my Nanyue Army for so long in vain! Sure enough, there are some abilities! ”

"This guy actually teamed up with Wu Sangui to build a plan to Hong Maniac, loaded his troops and one of Wu Sangui's family members into a ship and shipped them by sea, landed somewhere in Liaodong, and went directly to capture Shenyang or Liaoyang. If this trick is used, the starling will become a lost dog! ”

If the Jiannu rebel group led by Huang Taiji was severely damaged by Hong Chengchou in western Liaoning, it would not be good news for the Nanyue army. The expansion of the Southern Yue Army was based on the weakening of the central court headed by Chongzhen. If Jiannu is defeated, it is bound that the authority of the central government will be greatly enhanced. When the time comes, do you say that Chongzhen will first turn his gun to deal with the rogues who are wandering in Henan and Huguang areas, or will he aim at the Nanyue army with many soldiers and horses in the treasury?

When Wu Biao heard this tactic, Li Peilin immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his head!

"Big brother doesn't have to worry either. Deng Ai's plan to enter Shu is not something that anyone can play. If the lord was here, even ten Huang Taiji would have already settled the account! However, under Hong Chengchou, the camp is complicated, the interests are different, the power is different, and they are suspicious of each other. You can't make meritorious contributions, and you can't see others make immortal contributions. Wu Biao's vicious method was rejected without leaving the Chinese military account of Inspector Hong. The news reached my ears and I took precautions! ”

When Li Peiting learned that Wu Biao planned to use the sea route to attack Shenyang, he immediately gave an order. The sea vessels cruising to and from Tianjin, Dengzhou, Ningyuan, Jinzhou and other places are dispersed in the form of small groups and multiple routes. Every day, ships transport supplies to Ningyuan and Jinzhou. But there weren't many ships. Moreover, the fleets have agreed to meet in a certain sea area outside the port, and if the ships heading to the said area do not see the returning ships in the agreed sea area, the ships will immediately turn around and return. What was prevented was that Hong Chengchou took Wu Biao's construction and collected ships in Ningyuan, Jinzhou and other places.

"As for the reason. I have. For example, if the ship breaks down, you have to go back and repair it. There was a storm on the sea, and it was impossible to move forward. Hengzhi, those officials will only see silver in their eyes, and will not go to the sea to see it. ”

"Remember! For the war in Liaodong. Our strategy is not to let the court destroy the people of the old Tong family! As for the rogues in the pass, they can't make much waves for a while, so you have to toss it. But. Gold, silver, wealth, people, books, these things are all indispensable! ”

"Don't worry, big brother, please rest assured. Now the thieves everywhere in Jianghuai have seen that it is too late to see our Longsheng banner, how dare they make a mistake? I have long passed the word that if our caravan encounters bandits somewhere, trade with this place will be terminated forever! ”

"Encounter bandits? Just your buddies? There are bandits who beat them, and the idea is that they did not practice in their previous lives! His mouth seemed to refute his brother's words, but his face was full of smiles. It can be seen that Li Peilin is very satisfied with his younger brother's approach.

"I also learned from the Lord, and I have to have rules in every qiē. There is a way for the so-called thieves, even if they are rogues, they have to follow my rules! Not to mention, this group of so-called Shaanxi rogues is really well-behaved. Restraining subordinates, disciplining soldiers, and being polite to the people I deliver. The real bastards are those who are self-preservation, such as group drills, bandits, and poles. There are no rules at all! However, against these people, the method I just mentioned has an effect. My caravan was robbed there, so I told the locals to hand over the murderer, and I hung a bonus! ”

In the face of heavy rewards, whether it is the Shaanxi peasant army or the regimental training, local bandits, and poles in various places, they are all eager to rush to it, and there is even a tacit understanding between the official army and the peasant army to attack a regiment and train a few subordinate villages, but you beat yours and I beat mine.

When it comes to the rogue, Li Peilin naturally has to be concerned about it, this force is now rising like a wildfire in the hinterland of the Central Plains, making the officials and troops everywhere exhausted.

"The rise of the rogues is actually two natural disasters and eight are man-made disasters!"

Li Peiting first set a tone for Liukou, and then began to tell his brother about the situation of the three large-scale peasant armies in the interior, including Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, and Zhang Xianzhong.

Li Zicheng broke Luoyang, and Zhang Xianzhong broke Xiangyang. Each has gained a lot. However, after this unprecedented victory, the two families suffered their own setbacks.

First of all, Li Zicheng planned to attack Kaifeng but did not attack, but was shot by Chen De, the son of Chen Yongfu, the Kaifeng guard, and had to leave with hatred.

Subsequently, after Zhang Xianzhong broke through Huguang Suizhou, he was jointly defeated in the Macheng area by Zuo Liangyu, the general of the Ping Thief, and Ding Qirui, who had just been promoted to the secretary and supervisor of the military department as the governor of the trilateral squire, and controlled the armies of Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Huguang and Jiangbei. Luo Rucai, who had been with him for many years, saw that the situation was not good, so he took the opportunity to break up with Zhang Xianzhong and turned his head to cooperate with Li Zicheng's camp.

The cooperation between the two families was a big momentum. It successively captured more than ten cities in Henan, including Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Chenliu, Tongxu, Weishi, Weichuan, Yanling, Linying, Changge, Xinzheng, and Bishui.

The Henan officials and troops only tried their best to protect Luoyang, Kaifeng, and the cities north of the Yellow River where the feudal princes were located.

It's just that after his father was killed by Li Zicheng, it was rumored that Zhu Yousong, the little fortune king who made Fulu wine, had to go back and forth in Huaiqing to find a place to live.

Originally, I could have lived in one or two palaces in various palaces, and then I would go back to Luoyang after the court's comfort, but unfortunately, all the energy of the court was in Liaodong, how could there be surplus food to support this lord?

However, in this way, it gave Li Peiting a chance.

"I sent for the prince of fortune and sent fifty thousand silver dollars for his expenses. It is said that this man burst into tears when he saw the silver, and he was inexplicably grateful. ”

"When I went south from Nanjing, there was already news from Henan, just after the wheat harvest was completed, Li Zicheng had some new wheat in his hand to make military rations, and he was ready to attack Kaifeng in the near future. They ordered someone to come and negotiate with us, intending to buy a large amount of gunpowder from us for use in the explosion. It seems that this King Li Chuang and the Cao Cao beside him are determined to win Kaifeng Mansion this time. ”

"How much are they going to want?"

"According to the visitor, the high walls of Kaifeng City are thick, and there are more than a dozen layers of bricks and stones inside, I am afraid that ordinary means will not be able to solve it. So this time, they plan to make a big fight, at least 5,000 stones! ”

"Five thousand stone gunpowder?!" This number really scared Li Peilin a lot! According to the information he has learned, Hong Chengchou, who is currently on the front line of Jinzhou in Ningyuan, has almost all the mobile forces of the Ming Dynasty, and the amount of gunpowder in his hand is only this amount.

The stakes are so big that they have far exceeded Li Peilin's authority. Moreover, if Li Zicheng's troops conquered Kaifeng, they would be able to occupy the Yellow River water conservancy and communicate with the Nanyue military system, and the wealth and population of the Central Plains, as well as all kinds of products in the south, from agricultural products such as oil, salt, rice, and grain to industrial products such as knives, guns, and artillery, would all be transported through the Yellow River.

This is a move to change the strategic balance, and it must be decided by Shouhan.

Li Peilin was ordered to urgently recruit his younger brother to go south, just for this matter, whether Li Zicheng should be allowed to conquer Kaifeng? !

In addition to this matter, there is another matter that Li Peiting also wants to participate in.

"After the third prince captured Bengal, it shook all directions. Tszang's emissary, Chanchen Gyatso, has been in Hue these days, negotiating with the priest to start trade and commerce. The meaning of the lord, this matter still needs to be grasped by you. (To be continued......)
