And at this time, Luo Rucai, Yan Chongxi and Diao Zheng also rushed to Yangcheng County to wait for Xiao Tianjian's arrival, Luo Rucai spent two or three days looking at the Shuangfeng Zhai craftsman camp and several iron yards in Yangcheng County, so far he knew how strong the war strength hidden behind Xiao Tianjian was, and then looked at the people's livelihood in Yangcheng County along the way, and even admired Xiao Tianjian's ability to throw himself to the ground, when he arrived here, Luo Rucai's selfishness was much lighter, what idea of self-reliance, He was basically left behind, if he was allowed to do it himself, he didn't dare to think that he could run such a family business, even if he was allowed to stand on his own in the future, how could he confront the Xingtian Army! This Xiao Tianjian is clear that he will fight against the court in the future, or even replace him, he will stand on his own, sooner or later he will also be Xiao Tianjian's enemy, after Xiao Tianjian overthrew the current Zhu dynasty, it is impossible to keep him self-reliant, so in his opinion, although it is a good thing to follow Xiao Tianjian as a deputy, once Xiao Tianjian achieves a great cause one day, at least it is good for him to be a prince.

Seeing Yan Chongxi's old department, they naturally had a good time, and after a good greeting, Xiao Tianjian turned his words to the topic, raised his hand to stop the people who wanted to report to him about his work in Jinnan for more than a year, and said to them with a smile: "Don't say more!" I know very well what you have done in the past year or so, and I believe that you can do very well in small things, so it is redundant to do any more reporting! I can trust you!

I'm coming back here this time, not to check your work, but to arrange the affairs of Jinnan after the New Year, so everyone listens to me! ”

After everyone heard this, they immediately retreated to the sides and waited for Xiao Tianjian's orders.

In order to show his respect for Luo Rucai, Xiao Tianjian did not let Luo Rucai avoid it when discussing the matter, but on the contrary, he arranged a big chair for Luo Rucai to sit down in his lower position, to show that Luo Rucai's identity was second only to him, which made Luo Rucai feel very happy, and he only sat down after repeated excuses.

Xiao Tianjian glanced at everyone and then cleared his throat and said: "For more than a year, with your efforts, in the jurisdiction of our Xingtian Army, the people have food and clothing, and all kinds of affairs go hand in hand, so that the jurisdiction is very stable, and the soldiers and generals are even more safe, always making it impossible for the officers and soldiers to take a step beyond the thunder pool, and have sent a large number of grain, weapons, armor and ammunition to support my actions in Henan. I can't give you anything else, but I want to say to everyone that I have worked hard! ”

After saying that, Xiao Tianjian stood up and hugged his fists and bowed deeply to everyone in the big tent, and everyone in the tent hurriedly returned the salute, Xiao Tianjian can say this, which means that they have not done it in vain this year, their lords have seen it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, in fact, people like Yan Chongxi and Fu Deming can't follow Xiao Tianjian's side south because they stayed behind, and everyone was a little worried at first, because in this group, Xiao Tianjian is actually their master, Whoever can follow the lord for a long time will naturally be more valued, and if Xiao Tianjian is no longer on the side for a long time, they are also afraid that Xiao Tianjian will gradually alienate them, so although they stay in Jinnan, these people are often a little uneasy.

But Xiao Tianjian's words today dispelled their doubts, although they haven't seen Xiao Tianjian for so long, but Xiao Tianjian still treats them so trustingly, and at the same time sees their credit, just a few words made them all feel at ease, but at the same time, they were all vigilant, because Xiao Tianjian said clearly, although he is no longer in Jinnan's hometown, but their every move Xiao Tianjian still knows everything well, Emperor Tiangao is far from saying that they can do whatever they want, So they will have to pay more attention in the future.

"I think you all have an understanding of the situation in the world recently, Yang Sichang launched the plan of opening the net on all sides, wanting to gradually wipe out all the righteous armies, although the impact on our Xingtian Army is not great, but for the rebels from all walks of life, this period of time, has been effective!

Under the efforts of Xiong Wencan, Hong Chengchou and others, the rebel armies are very tight at present, the eight kings Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng and others have already been appeased, and under the attack of the official army, there are still some rebels who have been suppressed by the official army, and I don't hide these things from the big guys!

Therefore, in the next year, our Xingtian Army will become the biggest thorn in the eye of the imperial court, and the imperial court will definitely mobilize all kinds of officials and troops to attack us, and whether we can survive this year will become a key year for us to achieve great things in the future! ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Tianjian deliberately paused and glanced at the expressions of everyone in the big tent.

After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, the expressions on everyone's faces began to become solemn, and they looked at Xiao Tianjian together and waited for Xiao Tianjian to continue.

But when Xiao Tianjian said this, he suddenly laughed, waved his hand and said, "Don't be so nervous!" For our Xingtian Army, you are all old brothers who follow me, so you naturally know the depth of our Xingtian Army! Don't worry too much about that!

This time, the imperial court didn't look at it as an increase in troops and a gift, and Yang Sichang also put on a posture of not exterminating our righteous troops from all walks of life in one fell swoop and vowing not to give up! Xiong Wencan, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting even fought hard to lead troops to encircle and suppress the righteous army!

But the current emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't know that he was actually digging his own grave by doing this! ”

Everyone in the tent was a little unclear about why Xiao Tianjian said this, so there was a puzzled expression on his face, only Fu Deming nodded quietly, as if he understood the reason why Xiao Tianjian said this.

After Xiao Tianjian took a sip of tea, he glanced at everyone again, and said with a smile: "There is a reason why I say this!"

Think about it, you guys, Yang Sichang asked Zhu Youzhen to increase troops and give him a salary, where did the soldiers he gave come from? Where does the additional pay come from?

As far as I know, this method was originally proposed by Lu Xiangsheng, and the salary he said was an mu increase, which meant that it was actually to increase the salary to those powerful gentry who occupied a large amount of land in the Ming Dynasty, to some extent, Lu Xiangsheng still took into account the hunger of the people, and wanted to save a little luck for the Ming Dynasty, but Yang Sichang rejected Lu Xiangsheng's proposal and directly sent it to the people of the provinces. If you want to squeeze oil out of their bones, think about it, what will happen to the court?

Hum! Nowadays, some people often say that the current saint is a wise king, but in my opinion, this Zhu Youzhen is just a pig's head! He only thought about how to squeeze money out of the hands of the common people to maintain their Zhu dynasty, but for his own money, he clutched his pockets and resolutely refused to let go of a little, if such an emperor can also be called Mingjun, it would be a big joke!

So don't look at the fact that the officials and soldiers are a little happy during this time, but in my opinion, it won't take a year or two, I'm afraid it's too late for Zhu Youzhen to cry! Now do you know why I said that? ”

After everyone heard this, they all suddenly came to their senses, and they nodded yes again and again, and Fu Deming applauded: "The handsome man is really sharp-eyed!" So well thought out! Not bad! What the marshal said is timely, this current court is just a return to the light! ”

Xiao Tianjian raised his hand to stop everyone's praise, and said with a smile: "You don't want to praise me!" It's better to pour me less of this ecstasy soup! The reason why I can understand this truth is that I have seen through the nature of today's court and officials! They not only want to protect their own interests, but also want to keep the world from losing, as for the common people in their eyes, they are just two-legged sheep, and they can be sacrificed at any time, so I have long said that the Ming Dynasty will die, and it will come soon!

And this time I came back to tell you that as long as we are good for the people, then we don't have to worry about what the court can do to us! Recently, Shanxi sent troops to attack our Jinnan base area, come and don't forget the insolence, this time I came back, I want to return the color! ”

"Handsome! Just tell me! Let's do what and what to do this time? As long as you say a word, I, Yan, will never give up even if I go to the soup and fire! Yan Chongxi immediately came out and said to Xiao Tianjian.

"Good! I'm relieved to have your words! For more than a year, we have been here in Jinnan for more than a year, and under the full management, we have mainly supported my actions in Henan, so I haven't let the government see how powerful we are for a long time, and this time the government has invaded our Jinnan base again, so we can't just stop them back and pull them down!

This time I came back to take you with me, in the shortest possible time, not only to repel the officers and troops who advanced this time, but also to show the court once again the sharp teeth of our Xingtian Army! From now on, until the Spring Festival, there are still a few days to go, and all of you here listened to the order and immediately began to assemble troops and horses, and move the main force of the 1st Division east to the south of Gaoping and the north of Zezhou! As for the current garrison of Qinshuiyuan, Quyangcheng and other counties, it will be handed over to the township barracks!

When the officers and soldiers arrived here, the officers and soldiers had no intention of fighting, so taking advantage of the Chinese New Year in the past few days, the officers and soldiers would be in the most slack, and we would defeat Xu Dingguo in a battle, and take advantage of the situation to take Lu'an Mansion in one go! Let the court take a look again, our Xingtian Army can't afford to provoke them!

Will you rest this festival with me? Do you have the confidence to follow me to take down Lu'an Mansion? ”
