Chapter 889 Join forces into a battalion

After Luo Rucai and Gao Ligong had arrived in Runing, Li Zichengcai summoned the leader of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, both of whom were old acquaintances of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, plus Niu Jinxing, the main hall of the prefect's yamen, there were a total of four people sitting.

After a while, He Xiaomi brought Ma Shouying in, followed by a dark and strong man, like a blacksmith.

Luo Rucai and Gao Ligong hurriedly got up to give a salute, and Luo Rucai laughed and said: "Old back, let's meet again!" He arched his hand to the black man again, and said with a smile: "King Zuo Jin is heroic, and he is still so compelling!" ”

Zuojin Wang He Jin bowed his hand to the four people on the seat, but did not speak, and the old Hui Ma Shouying laughed and arched his hand, and was about to speak, but there was a violent cough, and he had to bend down and cover his mouth with his hand.

He Jin hurriedly handed over a white brocade hand, Ma Shouying waved his hand, but he took out a dark black brocade handkerchief from his arms, wiped the stains on his mouth, and bowed his hand to Luo Rucai, and finally his eyes fell on Li Zicheng's body, "Metropolitan Governor? ”

"General Ma, General He, please take a seat!" Li Zicheng arched his hand with a smile, and asked He Xiaomi to serve tea.

Ma Shouying was also not polite, sat opposite Li Zicheng, and arched his hand: "I have long heard of the deeds of the Metropolitan Governor sweeping the Central Plains, and today I am very honored to see the true face!" ”

"General Ma is polite," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "General Ma led his brothers, in the area of Yingshan and Huoshan, he also broke out of a lot of worlds, and Zicheng has heard of it for a long time!" ”

"It's not worth mentioning to eat with the brethren, it's not worth mentioning!" Ma Shouying waved his hand, "The Metropolitan Governor is like this, every place is collected in the cyst, Ma really admires!" ”

Luo Rucai smiled and said: "Lao Huihui, your eloquence has been taught in Xia," paused for a moment, and said: "Lao Huihui came to Henan this time...... I heard that you've been getting close to the Eight Kings lately......"

"Hey, don't mention it," Ma Shouying shook his head and said, "Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo are both soldiers and have enough food......

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and General Ma doesn't have to mind," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "General Zhang, the eighth king, is also an old man under him, and he doesn't know ...... now."

"Zhang Bingzhong?" Ma Shouying hesitated for a while, and finally said: "It's not good, it's not good......"

Luo Rucai said: "Where are the eight kings now?" ”

"Bingzhong can't gain a foothold in Huguang, go east to Zhili," Ma Shouying narrowed his eyes, as if recalling the past, "February, capture Quanjiao; In March, the siege of Shucheng was not down; In April, the attack on Lu'an, not down; In May, Luzhou was captured, and the Ming court arrested Zheng Eryang, the governor of Luzhou, and imprisoned, and ordered Ma Shiying to supervise Fengyang instead of Zheng Eryang, and Bingzhong was forced to go west; In August, he went down to Lu'an and defeated the reinforcements of Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo, the commanders of the imperial court; In September, he was defeated by Liu Liangzuo in Qianshan, and his whereabouts are unknown since then......"

Li Zicheng sighed in his heart, on the bill of the imperial court, Zhang Xianzhong was the leader of the rogue who was second only to himself, and the influence should be above the fifth battalion of the Revolution, but he didn't expect to be caught by the Ming army and fly everywhere, not even a place to live......

It's a rogue indeed!

However, Ma Shouying told himself about Zhang Xianzhong, he should not be a scheming person, and daring to enter Runing City this time shows that he is not very wary of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and there should be no ghosts in his heart.

Coupled with his body, this came to Runing...... I have been fighting with the Ming army for most of my life, and it is very likely that I am tired......

Such a person should be trustworthy!

Gao Ligong comforted him and said, "General Ma and General He, you are coming to Henan this time ......."

"Mr. Niu should have said that, right?" Ma Shouying glanced at Niu Jinxing on Li Zicheng's right, and estimated that he had a very high status in the Heavenly Mandate Army, even surpassing Luo Rucai, "Our Fifth Battalion of Gezuo came to Henan this time, it was for the name of the Metropolitan Governor, hoping that the Metropolitan Governor would reward the brothers for a bite of food and ......" Speaking of this, he paused, but glanced at Li Zicheng.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "General Ma is the head of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, and this time he came to Runing, if he has any requirements, he can do it if he says it!" ”

Ma Shouying paused, narrowed his eyes, and said: "I heard that the Metropolitan Governor defeated reinforcements from all walks of life in Henan, and the military is prosperous. ”

"General Ma really came to vote, and he is welcome," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "But I don't know if the fifth battalion of the left is the same heart?" Are there clear requirements? ”

"Don't worry, since we are here together, we naturally have the same thoughts......" Ma Shouying's lips opened, but the words behind him were not spoken.

Li Zicheng nodded, "Since General Ma has a heart, Zicheng will definitely live up to General Ma!" After a pause, he said: "Mr. Niu, General Luo, and General Gao are all acquaintances of General Ma, you can rest assured to talk, whether it is successful or not, General Ma came to Runing, and he became the friend of the landlord, and he retired and went to the banquet in person!" He bowed to Ma Shouying and He Jin, and then left the main hall.

Ma Shouying returned the courtesy and did not keep it, he knew Li Zicheng's thoughts, everyone is the leader, if they talk face-to-face, if the talk collapses, it will not end well, let Niu Jinxing, Luo Rucai, and Gao Ligong talk, at least there is room for turnaround.

Just like Bigfoot as a matchmaker, both men and women's families will make conditions, and then bargain, the role of the middle messenger is naturally assumed by Bigfoot, if the negotiation is completely inexperienced parents of both sides, the possibility of collapse is very high.

Before lunch, Niu Jinxing took the time to tell Li Zicheng that the peace talks were basically in accordance with the requirements of the Heavenly Mandate Army, and a preliminary agreement was reached, but Ma Shouying needed to go back and discuss with the leaders of the other three battalions before he could make a final decision.

Li Zicheng was not much pleased, such a result was already his bottom line, knowing that the leaders of the fifth battalion of Gezuo were all human spirits, he did not have many reservations, and he did not intend to bargain.

Accept the conditions offered by the Mandate of Heaven, and you will be a family in the future, if you can't accept the conditions of the Mandate of Heaven, don't waste time, everyone will see the truth on the battlefield.

Where is the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the fifth battalion of the left does not accept the conditions offered by the Mandate of Heaven Army, and does not come to the territory of the Mandate of Heaven Army, it is either a family or an enemy, there is no gray area in the middle!

Li Zicheng waited in Runing for two days, and then Ma Shouying sent an envoy into the city to tell Li Zicheng that the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution had accepted the conditions put forward by the Mandate of Heaven Army, and that after lunch, the soldiers of each battalion would come to the city of Runing to accept the reorganization of the Mandate of Heaven Army.

At noon, Li Zicheng left the West Gate, and the soldiers of the Fourth Battalion, the Independent Battalion, and the Chengtian Battalion lined up on the north bank of the Huangxi River to wait, and tens of thousands of soldiers from the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution came along the Huangxi River under different banners.

Lao Hui Ma Shouying, Ge Li Yan He Yilong, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin, Reincarnated King Liu Xiyao, and Troubled King Lin Chengcheng, each with dozens of personal soldiers, riding a high-headed horse, walked at the front of the team.

Ma Shouying saw Li Zicheng's handsome banner from a distance, and hurriedly urged the war horse to walk a few steps, then turned over and dismounted, kneeling on the ground, "Subordinate Ma Shouying, knock on the governor!" ”

He Jin and Liu Xiyao also urged the war horse, followed behind Ma Shouying, and gave Li Zicheng a big salute, He Yilong and Lin Chengcheng glanced at each other, and finally stepped forward, just about to salute, Li Zicheng had already turned over and dismounted, "A few generals don't need to be polite, get up quickly." ”

"Yes, yes," Ma Shouying got up slowly and said, "From today onwards, we are also the Mandate of Heaven Army, so naturally we want to meet the Grand Governor!" ”

"Haha," Li Zicheng laughed, and when he saw that the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left were already disarming, he said, "General Ma, how many soldiers are there in your five divisions?" ”

Ma Shouying arched his hand and said, "My subordinates calculated yesterday that there are more than 40,000 soldiers in the five divisions," turned around and pointed forward, and said: "Now they are all here, and most of the governors can come to reorganize!" ”

"Leave these things to Mr. Niu," Li Zicheng snorted and said, "Generals, a banquet has been set up in the mansion, which can be regarded as a late reception, don't mind!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

When Li Zicheng accompanied Ma Shouying and them to drink at the mansion, Li Xin, Niu Jinxing, Gao Ligong and others had already selected the soldiers of the four regiments and reorganized the soldiers of the fifth battalion.

The soldiers of the fifth battalion of the left side of the revolution are combined into the Fengtian battalion, and the main general will be Ma Shouying, with the rank of general; Among the four regiments, He Jin, He Yilong, Liu Xiyao, and Lin Yangyang served as regiment commanders respectively, all of whom held the rank of guerrilla general.

There are only more than 20,000 soldiers in the four regiments, and the rest of the soldiers, except for those who need to be added to the battalions and regiments, are temporarily disbanded as people, and can be recruited again when the army needs to be expanded in the future.

Li Xin was transferred from the Fourth Battalion, the Independent Battalion, and the Chengtian Battalion to serve as officials of 1,000 households and 100 households in the Fengtian Battalion, and he was also an instructor of 1,000 and 100 households.

The soldiers of each regiment of the Fengtian battalion did not belong to the original soldiers of one battalion, and all the soldiers of the five battalions were scattered and reorganized.

Accompanied by the 200,000 troops of the fifth battalion, Li Zicheng had already made arrangements.

Inside and outside the city of Kaifeng, the population has been greatly reduced, the families of the soldiers of the Fengtian camp, a total of more than 90,000 people, are all settled in Kaifeng, a few people operate shops in the city, most of the people are placed outside the city, and they are organized into villages, and the government distributes arable land, grain, seeds, farm tools, etc., if the family lacks young and strong labor, the neighbors will plough on behalf of them.

The other 90,000 people, Runing Mansion and its subordinate counties, Guide Prefecture and subordinate counties, each resettled 20,000; Ruzhou is a county and resettles 10,000; Nanyang Prefecture and its subordinate counties, Chenzhou and its subordinate counties, each placed 5,000.

The remaining 30,000 are all placed in Zhengzhou and its four counties, Li Zicheng's heart, is ready to build "Zhengzhou" the central city, once the situation in Henan is completely stabilized, Zhengzhou will be independent from Kaifeng Prefecture, upgraded to a government.

The Fengtian Battalion had just been formed, and the soldiers were not too familiar with each other, and they had to be familiar with the military discipline and military regulations of the Heavenly Mandate Army, so Li Zicheng gave the Fengtian Battalion a month of training time.

A month later, if the soldiers of the Fengtian Battalion basically meet the requirements of the Heavenly Mandate Army, they will end their training and officially become soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army.

The next goal of the Mandate of Heaven Army is to go south to Huguang, take the rich land of the Jianghan Plain, and enrich the food supply of the Mandate of Heaven Army.

Before leaving Henan, Li Zicheng sent two messages.

One was to give advice to Song, who was supervising the construction of the road between Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, and ordered him to control the troops remaining in Henan to prevent the Ming army from taking advantage of the attack.

General Li Zicheng took away the main force of the Henan Heavenly Mandate Army, but in Luoyang, Kaifeng, Nanyang, and Runing, there were Shuntian Battalion, the Fourth Regiment of the Fourth Battalion, the Third Regiment of the Seventh Battalion, and the Fourth Regiment of the Seventh Battalion, with seven regiments approaching 40,000 soldiers, plus the city defense forces in various places, with a total strength of more than 50,000.

Another message is to order Zhou Kun of the Yangtze River Water Army, ordering him to take the main force of the Water Army down the river as soon as possible and cooperate with the army to fight in Huguang!

Taking advantage of the opportunity of Fengtianying's training, Li Zicheng took Ma Shouying, He Jin, He Yilong, Liu Xiyao, Lin Yangcheng and others to Zhengzhou for a stroll and let them visit the cement avenue under construction.
