"What! You have several immediate family members of the Ma family in your hands, and one of them is Qin Liangyu's grandson! Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed.

"Hahahaha! God help me, Toyue Baylor has once again made great contributions to my Great Western Country, you can rest assured, after this battle, I will definitely be rewarded! Zhang Xianzhong laughed and made a promise.

Zhang Xianzhong had already decided to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army, so he naturally had to do everything possible to attack Qin Liangyu, one of the main generals of the Ming army.

Over the years, Qin Liangyu has been guarding Lizhou City, allowing him to attack many times without success, losing his troops and losing his generals, he hates Qin Liangyu very much, and at this moment Qin Liangyu's own grandson has fallen into his hands, he will not let Qin Liangyu feel good.

Zhang Xianzhong knew that even if the more than 100,000 Ming troops outside Chengdu became a lone army, it would still be difficult for him to completely annihilate them with his current strength, but he, Zhang Xianzhong, could become the founding emperor of the Great Western Kingdom, how could he have no means!

Zhang Xianzhong already had a plan in his heart, a plan that would enable him to defeat the Ming army outside the city in one fell swoop.

Thinking of that plan, Zhang Xianzhong's eyes were full of bloodthirsty taste, if someone who was familiar with Zhang Xianzhong was here, he would definitely be able to see that this was a precursor to Zhang Xianzhong's indiscriminate killing of innocents! The people of Chengdu are undoubtedly going to suffer!

Tuo Yue naturally didn't look down on Zhang Xianzhong's so-called reward, his purpose was to let Zhang Xianzhong and Daming eat dog, lose both, and buy enough time for the Qing Dynasty, and the world was destined to be the Qing Dynasty in the future.

The next day, Zhang Xianzhong issued a conscription order in Chengdu, ordering all adult men over the age of 16 and under the age of 40 in Chengdu to enlist in the army!

There was an uproar in Chengdu City, and everyone knew that joining the army at this time was undoubtedly to fight against the Ming army outside the city.

Zhang Xianzhong was brutal by nature and liked pleasure, and the people were very dissatisfied with his rule, and they were looking forward to when the Ming Dynasty would enter Chengdu, so that they could return to the Ming Dynasty, and how could they be willing to join the Western Army to fight against the Ming Army at this time.

Zhang Xianzhong's conscription order met with resistance, and almost no one went to the draft.

"Humph! Toast without eating and eating penalty wine! Zhang Xianzhong snorted coldly, he had already made up his mind!

On that day, a large number of soldiers of the Great Western Army went door to door to arrest all adult men over the age of 16 and under the age of 40 and forcibly confiscate them into the Red Blood Army of the Great Western Army.

The Red Blood Army was formed by Zhang Xianzhong to forcibly capture the new army established by Zhuang Ding, and was commanded by Luo Rucai.

Such a name is very bloodthirsty, but it is composed of a group of ordinary strong people who are about to be forcibly put into the army, which has to be said to be very strange, however, Zhang Xianzhong's methods will make this name worthy of its name.

"Come out!" A strong man about 20 years old was forcibly dragged out by several soldiers of the Great Western Army.

In the city of Chengdu, 200,000 soldiers of the Western Army broke into the door door from house to house.

"Hahahaha! Gold! It's gold! "The Great Western Army is not a top elite army with strict military discipline, and it is very easy to be tempted by money, no, while being ordered to go door-to-door to catch strong men and fill the army, it has also evolved into a robbery, and everything valuable has been looted.

There was chaos in the city.

Li Dingguo had just been released from the palace of the Great Western Kingdom by Zhang Xianzhong, and he saw such a scene that made him angry, the soldiers of the Great Western Army actually looted the people in Chengdu, the capital of the Great Western Kingdom, Li Dingguo couldn't believe it.

"What are you waiting for! Stop it! Plunder the people and behead them! Li Dingguo roared at a group of soldiers of the Great Western Army who had just come out of a private house.

Li Dingguo usually manages the army strictly, and he can't see the soldiers bullying the people the most.

When the group of soldiers of the Great Western Army who were reprimanded by Li Dingguo saw that it was Li Dingguo, they panicked and turned pale.

"General, this is none of our business, it is a holy decree issued by His Majesty, let us go door to door to arrest men of the right age to fill the army!" A soldier of the Great Western Army was frightened and immediately explained.

Li Dingguo's eyes widened, and he didn't know why.

After understanding the specific situation, Li Dingguo's face turned blue and white all of a sudden, and he was angry, he never imagined that Zhang Xianzhong would give such an order.

Li Dingguo didn't care about disposing of this group of soldiers of the Great Western Army who took the opportunity to rob their homes, and hurriedly returned to the Imperial Palace of the Great Western Kingdom to find Zhang Xianzhong.

It turned out that Zhang Xianzhong had long known Li Dingguo's temperament, and when he gave the order to forcibly conscript, he premeditated Li Dingguo to live in the palace of Daxi Kingdom for two days, and Zhang Xianzhong released Li Dingguo until the conscription was almost over.

"Your Majesty, why did you give the order to forcibly conscript!" Li Dingguo questioned Zhang Xianzhong.

With Li Dingguo's cleverness, he naturally saw for the first time why Zhang Xianzhong had to let him stay in the palace for two days, which was nothing more than not wanting him to block the execution of this conscription order.

Li Dingguo couldn't figure out what role a group of strong men who were forcibly recruited could play, and why Zhang Xianzhong would give such an order.

Zhang Xianzhong had long known that Li Dingguo would come back to ask, and said indifferently: "Dingguo, I have decided to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army outside the city, but although the Ming army outside the city has become a lone army, like a turtle in an urn, its strength is still not weaker than my Western army, and it is not easy to annihilate them, so I have to think of another way!" ”

Li Dingguo was shocked, Zhang Xianzhong really decided to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army outside the city, which was undoubtedly a next step, extremely inappropriate.

What makes Li Dingguo even more puzzling is that this forcible recruitment of strong men to fill the army is related.

"Even if you want to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army outside the city, why do you forcibly order the capture of the strong men in the city to enlist in the army, is it possible that without training, a group of strong men with grievances can defeat the Ming army!" Li Dingguo's face was gloomy, this was the first time he had confronted Zhang Xianzhong, and his tone was quite disrespectful.

Zhang Xianzhong frowned, very dissatisfied, if it weren't for Li Dingguo, who was raised by him and had good talents, he would not have been so accommodating.

"Okay, I have my own opinions, you don't have to participate in the decisive battle with the Ming army, and I, Luo Rucai, and Tuo Yue are in full charge!" Zhang Xianzhong is very clear about Li Dingguo's temperament, his plan has Li Dingguo's taboos, Li Dingguo will definitely not listen to him, for fear that Li Dingguo will do bad things at that time, Zhang Xianzhong decided to set up Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo was a little incredulous, Zhang Xianzhong actually set him up at this time, and planned to personally command the decisive battle with the Ming army outside the city, which must be related to the group of strong men who were forcibly arrested and filled with the army, he faintly had a bad premonition, if Zhang Xianzhong was not stopped, the Great West Kingdom would lose the hearts of the people, and he Li Dingguo would also become a sinner in history!

Li Dingguo wanted to stop it, but Zhang Xianzhong didn't tell him the specific plan at all, and he had no way of knowing.

Li Dingguo was personally dragged by Zhang Xianzhong, and the Great Western Army was still constantly arresting all the age-appropriate strong men in Chengdu City and forcibly filling the Red Blood Army.

Chengdu City, as the largest city in Sichuan, has nearly 300,000 people, of which no less than 60,000 meet the requirements of the strong men, and all of these 60,000 strong men were forcibly filled into the red blood army under the order of Zhang Xianzhong.

Because the Great Western Army broke into the door door from door to door, after the conscription, the entire city of Chengdu was in chaos, and the people complained and cried and screamed, although Zhang Xianzhong knew all this, he ignored it, but did not think so.

In his opinion, since these people live in the capital of the Great Western Kingdom, it is the honor they have cultivated for several generations, and they should contribute to the Great Western Kingdom when the Great Western Kingdom is in danger!

Zhang Xianzhong's plan was very bloodthirsty, and with the end of the conscription, Zhang Xianzhong personally took over all the military power of the Great Western Army and prepared to personally command this decisive battle!
