Chapter 023: One World, Two Ways to Live
When Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen, and Xu Xi were still discussing specific measures for recruiting An, the rogue forces in Huaiqing Mansion also held corresponding meetings.
Because of the appearance of Zhao Zongwu, the entire history of the late Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, just as Zhang Weixian should have died of illness in Chongzhen for three years, but because of his power, he was alive and well.
The same thing.
It was supposed to be in the sixth year of Chongzhen, due to the unfavorable situation of the war, Wang Ziyong, who led his troops to retreat to the northern Henan region, was besieged by the Ming army when he led the army through Wu'an.
During the battle, Wang Ziyong was injured in an accident, although he got rid of the pursuit of the Ming army, but because of the harsh environment in which he was located, coupled with the improper treatment of his own injuries, he died of illness in Jiyuan, Henan Province in May of the same year.
However, in this life, because the situation has changed dramatically, Wang Ziyong did not die in battle, but continued to lead the alliance of the 36th battalion of the rogue to flow.
Zhang Xianzhong in the same period should have entered Sichuan during this period. Later, he attacked Kuizhou (now Fengjie, Chongqing) and broke Daning (now Wuxi, Sichuan).
In order to solve the problem of the Liukou coming to invade, Qin Liangyu, a heroine of the female middle school, led the white pole soldiers to encircle and suppress.
And Zhang Xianzhong was intimidated by Qin Liangyu and the prestige of the white pole soldiers under his command, and after a short contact with him, he knew that his strength was far from it, so he sought an opportunity to escape.
In order to eradicate the rogue forces in Sichuan, after Zhang Xianzhong's department fled in panic, Qin Liangyu led the army to pursue, and attacked Ma Xianglin, the son who happened to return to Sichuan, and defeated Zhang Xianzhong's department, but finally let Zhang Xianzhong retreat to Huguang.
Also affected were Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Chong Guangdao, Luo Rucai, He Yilong, He Jin, Liu Xiyao, Lin Yangyang, Li Zicheng, and other leaders of the 36th Battalion.
In the middle, some were transported by Zhao Zongwu to India and the Indochina Peninsula to open up new territories, some were driven to other parts of the Ming Dynasty, and the rest were sent to Henan Chengxuan Political Envoy.
Since Wang Ziyong, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang and other departments, successively from the encirclement of the Ming army, after breaking out of the frontal encirclement, the troops and horses fled to Jiyuan County in Huaiqing Prefecture, although the performance in the war was extremely unfavorable, but in terms of the overall quality of the army, the soldiers and horses in this county are really not the opponent of the Liukou army.
Of course, this is also related to the local famine in Huaiqing Province.
Although it is said that Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang led the army to occupy the surrounding areas of Jiyuan County, but in the disaster year, in addition to ensuring the combat effectiveness of the old battalion under his command, Wang Ziyong also had that kind of foolish attitude towards the homeless people and people who were coerced.
Jiyuan County, which is not small, is full of hungry homeless people, and in some core areas of the county, it is full of noise, fighting, angry scolding, and sometimes even some indecent sounds.
Although it is said that there have been successive setbacks in the overall battle situation, the impact on the low-level rogues is minimal, and it is the battalion leaders who have really suffered the hardest.
The slightly dilapidated government office, Wang Ziyong looked left and right with a gloomy expression, and on his rough face, a striking scar pierced his left cheek, "Since the first year of Chongzhen, my brothers and other brothers, under the leadership of the great leader, declared an uprising in Shaanxi in order to survive, wanting to overthrow this tyrannical rule. ”
Because of the bad times over the years, there have been many problems within the rogue army, which also makes the top level also have a sense of decadence.
Wang himself used him as the leader of the alliance elected by the 36th Battalion of Liukou at this stage, and he had the responsibility and obligation to lead the brothers of the 36th Battalion to continue walking.
Besides, it is absolutely unrealistic to say that they have enjoyed the glory and wealth, and then let them live a poor life.
Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Chongguangdao, He Yilong, He Jin, Liu Xiyao, Lin Yangcheng and other leaders of the 36th battalion looked at Wang Ziyong with doubts on their expressions, they didn't know in their hearts what kind of connotation Wang Ziyong said at this time.
"I also know very well in my heart that some of you are already tired in your hearts, and you don't want to continue to mediate and fight with the Ming army anymore." Recalling his past experience, Wang Ziyong then changed his words and said: "According to what I have learned during this time, within us, there are some people who choose to sell their robes for their own interests.
Why during this period of time, our army has been in a state of rout, I am afraid that I don't need to say it, and you all know in your hearts what is going on.
But on the other hand, it also reflects their cunning, and although I have speculated in this regard, I have not found any clues so far. ”
Hearing Wang Ziyong's shout, He Yilong couldn't help but scold angrily: "! Who is TMD behind the scenes, don't let Lao Tzu know who you are, otherwise Lao Tzu will definitely pick your skin!! ”
The reason why He Yilong was so indignant was because several of his relatives died in battles with the Ming army one after another, which made He Yilong particularly indignant in his heart.
The same people present, there was also a lot of gloom in their expressions, thinking suspiciously between their eyebrows, and they also didn't have any clue about the hidden stake.
Wang Ziyong waved his hand and said: "This is not the time to think about this, the most important thing for our army is what to do next."
Now my brother of the 36th battalion has been expelled from Shanxi to Huaiqing Mansion by the Ming army, although it is said that he will not directly face the army of Zhao Zongwu, but we cannot prevent it in the future.
The brothers who died in the hands of Zhao Zongwu over the years, there are not more than 40, but there are more than 30, and even the big leader was murdered by his design, since it is impossible to go back to Shaanxi and Shanxi, then what should our army do next? ”
Although Wang Ziyong is the leader of the 36th Battalion Alliance, this does not mean that he is a word hall, many times, they need to discuss it together, if it is really decided by Wang Ziyong alone, then the current dilemma will not appear.
"The alliance leader is right." Gao Yingxiang's expression was thoughtful, and his words were sonorous: "Judging from the current situation of our department, we must no longer fight the Ming army head-on.
This Central Plains is not as good as the land of Shaanxi and Gansu, and the battle in the plains is already unfavorable to our army, and our troops stay in the hinterland of the Central Plains, so we cannot ensure that Zhao Zongwu's troops entrenched in the pass will not be ordered by the Ming court to go south.
In terms of the current situation, our army should choose to temporarily avoid the front, find a new key place, and mobilize the local people to rebel, and the area must be large enough for our troops to be easily dispersed and able to support the huge scale of our troops and horses. ”
Liu Xiyao pointed to Gao Yingxiang and said: "This point is very good, in fact, I have always wanted to bring it up as early as the period of Beizhili."
Although it is said that our troops showed a very strong front as a whole in the stage of sweeping the North Zhili, it was because of the unclear geographical dispersion that most of the Ming army that came to attack them was able to use the strategy of dividing and attacking them to defeat the strong soldiers of our department step by step. ”
But when Chongguangdao said this, Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang, He Yilong, etc., who were on the side, had a little more disdain on their faces, because Liu Xiyao had no urine sex, and there was no one present who was unclear, it was a well-known greed for life and fear of death, but he still had to show that he was very strong and very righteous.
It's like a bitch listing shop.
Chongguang Dao snorted coldly, squinted at Liu Xiyao and said, "You are really good at speaking, and you have said everything that Lao Tzu wants to say in advance."
In the next operation, our unit really needs to sort out carefully and really find out who played a negative role in this, and who made our unit constantly consume its own advantages in the operation. ”
As the leader of the veteran level in the Liukou group, since Wang Jiayin and Wang Er died in battle one after another, the status of the Light Dao is very transcendent, although his ability is not as strong as Wang Ziyong, but sometimes, this seniority is also very important.
There was a kind of light Dao mentioning it here, which also made Liu Xiyao shut up with a puzzled expression, and Zhang Xianzhong, who was beside him, frowned slightly and said: "Actually, during this time, I have been thinking about a question.
Since it is said that our department is in the Central Plains and cannot gain a firm foothold, why don't we lead most of it to the Huguang area for development?
On the complexity of the terrain, Huguang and Shaanxi and Gansu, have the same magic, although in the boundary of Shaanxi and Gansu, because of Zhao Zongwu, so that our department can not sink to the bottom of the development, but the rich Huguang boundary, there is no such problem.
And according to what I have learned, the wealth of Huguang is far beyond our imagination, even if we bring more soldiers and horses, it is enough for us to develop! ”
Zhang Xianzhong's reply made everyone present excited.
That's it!
Since it is said that the development in the Central Plains cannot continue, then it is necessary to seek new territory, after a comprehensive comparison, there is no more suitable place than Huguang, then they only need to get rid of the existing Ming army to pursue and suppress, and they can jump out of the inherent trajectory.
Because of Zhao Zongwu, Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang have always been suppressed, but since they can be active in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, it also means that they have a certain ability.
This rabbit will bite people when it is pressed, let alone a majestic man?
For Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang, the power in their hands is not small, and it can be said that they control the lives of millions of people, so they are ruthless, it is more ruthless than others imagined.
In order to solve the follow-up problems, Wang Ziyong has many problems that they need to discuss, such as the proportion of forces, such as the division of territory, such as the scale of soldiers and horses, in order to be able to quickly restore their power, they need to continue to fight, since Wang Jiayin's death, the seemingly strong Liukou rebel army has long been divided into many factions, for the authority in their hands, they continue to fight......
