After lunch, Li Zicheng arranged manpower to step up the interrogation of the personnel of the Su Wangfu, and on the other hand, confiscated the seal of the Su Wang and many blank seals, and then summoned Qiu Shike in the palace.

"The Governor ......"

Qiu Shike bowed to the ground, if you use one word to describe his mood at the moment, there is no more appropriate than the word "shock", the Mandate of Heaven army attacked the palace, there was only a gust of wind time, even if the palace was broken, annihilated the soldiers guarding Ganzhou in the palace and the palace guards of the palace, but they had almost no losses, and the only casualties could be completely ignored in the battle.

No wonder Li Zicheng is full of confidence, he has the capital to be confident!

Not to mention the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Mandate Army, even the military discipline and military discipline are strict to the point of harshness, hundreds of soldiers burst into the palace, except for fighting, the soldiers did not destroy any utensils in the palace at all, let alone put all kinds of treasures in the palace into their arms.

Such a Mandate of Heaven army...... How exactly is it trained? If the soldiers of Lanzhou Wei were allowed to join the Mandate of Heaven Army, would they be able to train such an army themselves? Qiu Shike himself felt incredible.

If he was shocked by the murderous aura of the Heavenly Mandate Army last night, then today's shock is the entire Heavenly Mandate Army, even including their Grand Governor Li Zicheng himself, this Li Zicheng, why hasn't he seen it before?

Li Zicheng, who was sitting on the main seat, smiled and said, "Get up and sit, guerrilla general, how is it, have you seen the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"The villain has seen the Mandate of Heaven Army, and the villain is really admired!" Qiu Shike kowtowed again, and sat on the wooden chair opposite half of his buttocks, he still felt very awkward.

"Haha, haha, guerrilla general, what are you going to do?" Li Zicheng had a smile on his face, as if Lanzhou Wei was the biggest hero of this battle.

"The Governor ......"

Qiu Shike didn't know what to say for a while, but his mind was thinking quickly, the Heavenly Mandate Army is magical, and its combat effectiveness is only seen in his life, but what are the benefits of joining the Heavenly Mandate Army? In other words, this kind of Heavenly Mandate Army, which is strictly disciplined and restrained everywhere, is not where his hope lies.

Besides, the soldiers of Lanzhou Wei already have their own habitual things, can they train to this level? If you can't meet the requirements of the Heavenly Mandate Army, then how will you deal with yourself?

Li Zicheng hesitated when he saw Qiu, and understood a little in his heart, so he said lightly: "Guerrilla generals, the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army, are all born in poor families, and in their families, they can't even eat enough, so the current life is already heaven for them, if they only think about getting promoted and getting rich, or their own selfish interests, it is not suitable in the Heavenly Mandate Army......

"Villain...... The villain didn't dare to ......" Qiu Shike was caught by Li Zicheng's thoughts, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he trembled and said: "The Metropolitan Governor ......"

Li Zicheng waved his hand and did not reprimand, "Not all people are suitable for the Mandate of Heaven Army, but the guerrilla general commands the army, and he has brains, so he can be a civilian official in the future, is the guerrilla general literate?" ”

"If you go back to the adult, the villain can read a few words after reading for two years!"

"That's good, when the Longyou War is over, the guerrilla generals will take off their armor and go to a certain place to serve as a civilian official, how about it?" Li Zicheng smiled faintly, "But I said ugly ahead, even if it is a civilian official, he must abide by the rules and regulations of the Mandate of Heaven, if he is corrupt and perverts the law, he will also have to take it, if he wants money and benefits, he can only establish military merits on the battlefield!" ”

"The Governor, the Villain...... The villain ...... "Qiu Shike didn't know what to say for a while, but he knew the whole picture at a glance, and the civilian officials of the Heavenly Mandate Army probably didn't have any oil and water."

"The guerrilla generals have not yet thought maturely, and they don't care, and the matter will be decided after the war is over," Li Zicheng's face was full of lightness, and his words were also light, "The Heavenly Mandate Army has come to Longyou, I don't know if the guerrilla generals are willing to make contributions to the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"Villain...... The villain is willing! "Qiu Shike is anxious, what's wrong today, the words are always unfavorable, is it because he thinks too much in his heart?" I don't know how the villain will work for the Grand Governor? ”

"There is no hurry for this, as long as the guerrilla general has a heart, it will be done!" Li Zicheng waved his hand, "Guerrilla general, go down to rest and comfort the brothers of Lanzhou Wei." ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" Qiu Shike got up and saluted before leaving.

Waved back Qiu Shike, Li Zicheng took his own soldiers to the city for a walk, saw that the city was in order, the people were already walking on the street in twos and threes, and their hearts were stable, and suddenly saw a group of people in front of them surrounding several soldiers, and their hearts were strange, so they said: "Xiaomi, go and see, what's going on in front!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" He Xiaomi personally took two personal soldiers to the crowd, inquired for a while, and returned to Li Zicheng's side, "The Metropolitan Governor, the people are surrounding the soldiers, listening to him talk about God's supernatural powers. ”

"Oh? That's a good thing! Li Zicheng said in his heart, if he let Tang Ruowang know, he would not be able to close his mouth again, and his mind moved, and he already had a plan, so he did not disturb the group of people and soldiers, but returned to the palace by himself.

The soldiers who stayed in the palace immediately stepped forward to report: "Governor, a message from the West Sea. ”

"West Sea? What can happen in the West Sea? Li Zicheng took the information and unfolded it, but it was the battleship built by Cao Jian that was launched, although this kind of battleship was not the most advanced warship in Xiyi, but it was the first official warship of the Xihai Sea Army, although there was no artillery installed on the battleship yet.

The last time he inspected the navy, he promised Zhou Kun that when the new warship was launched, he would be the officer of the 100 households of the navy.

Now that the war in Longyou has been fully launched, Li Zicheng can't take care of the navy for the time being, and can only be trained by Zhou Kun himself, and the hidden silver in the palace is the target of his attention, but now there is no result of the trial, he is a little irritable, if the people in the palace refuse to explain, he is ready to use force.

However, the soldiers soon sent another message: "Metropolitan Governor, Zhou Qianhu has come to Lanzhou, just waiting outside the palace!" ”

"This Zhou Bin, the marching speed is not slow," Li Zicheng smiled at this time, "Immediately pass Zhou Qianhu into the mansion!" ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!"

After a while, Zhou Bin came over with his own soldiers, and when he saw Li Zicheng, he immediately bowed to the ground, "Metropolitan Governor...... It's too late...... I didn't expect the adults to take Lanzhou City so quickly! ”

"Zhou Qianhu doesn't need to be polite, sit down!" Li Zicheng stretched his brows and said, "How are the brothers, you are tired of hurrying in a hurry, right?" ”

"The brothers are fine, they are all soldiers, when they train on weekdays, the intensity is greater than the road, sleep at night, and make up for everything," Zhou Bin sat down opposite Li Zicheng, "Governor, what should I do next?" ”

"Zhou Qianhu is really anxious, okay, I'll tell you the marching plan first, and it's good to prepare when you go back," Li Zicheng opened the marching map and spread it on the square table in front of him, "Zhou Qianhu led the soldiers of the headquarters, went out of the east gate, went south along the Haowei River, uprooted Qingshui Fort, and then crossed the lane, crossed Anding County in the east, and then went south along the Chiting River, the junction of the Chiting Water and the Weishui River is the city of Gongchang Mansion, take Gongchang Mansion, and then go south along the Weishui, we will meet in Ningyuan County." ”

Zhou Bin stared at the route on the marching map, silently calculating in his heart.

Li Zicheng said: "Anding County, Ningyuan County almost no regular army, Qingshui Fort is only stationed a hundred households of soldiers, in fact, only dozens of people, but Gongchang Mansion, stationed a guard soldier - Gong Changwei, according to the experience of Lanzhou, although Gongchangwei is seriously lacking, but the number of soldiers is probably not less than a thousand, Zhou Qianhu can be careful to deal with, this way, we have no reinforcements, you can only rely on yourself, there are fresh water supplies along the way, but you must bring enough dry food." ”

"Yes, Metropolitan Governor, my subordinates understand!"

Li Zicheng pointed to the south of Lanzhou with his hand, "I will go out of the south gate, go south along the Agan River, cross the Yunding Mountain, the western foot of Mahan Mountain, cross the Jiehe Pass, and then go south along the Taoshui, directly facing Taofu, after taking Lintao Mansion, and then eastward, through Shouyang Mountain, into Zhangshui, after passing Zhangxian County, it is Ningyuan County, that is where we meet, the reason why I say it in such detail is to tell you that if the attack is blocked, you can only find a way by yourself, and it will be impossible for reinforcements to arrive for a while and a half." ”

Zhou Bin glanced at Li Zicheng's marching route, not only farther, but also through a large number of valleys, even if there was no imperial army, the march would be more difficult, so he said: "It is too difficult for the Metropolitan Governor to go to this road, or let his subordinates take the western route......

"Zhou Qianhu doesn't have to worry about me, by my side, there is still the treasure of Lord Su!" Li Zicheng's heart warmed, but he didn't want to leave the problem to Zhou Bin.

Zhou Bin measured the distance between the two routes, and suddenly asked, "Metropolitan Governor, in case we can't reach Ningyuan County at the same time, will the party that arrived first wait here for the convergence, or will it continue eastward?" ”

"Continue to march eastward, just leave a small number of soldiers to respond," Li Zicheng nodded, and said: "The cavalry of Yunshui and Shuangxi have already made an expedition to Longshan, and the lone army is too far deep, we must rush over to join them as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand, my subordinates will retire and go back to prepare for the battle."

Not long after Zhou Bin left, Ma Youshui sent someone to send a message: The money and grain warehouse of the palace has finally been found!

Li Zicheng was immediately overjoyed, although it was only half a day, but he felt that he had waited too long, the palace was different from ordinary rich families, and the property of the palace could not be judged by common sense, that is to say, no matter how much property the palace had, others would not be blushing, and they did not dare to fight the idea of the palace, who made the birth of the prince good, and he was the son of the clan?

After getting the money and grain warehouse of the palace, Li Zicheng can go out tomorrow with peace of mind, and only when he gets the money and grain from the palace can he make the next arrangement according to the specific quantity.

Li Zicheng did not make any stops, and immediately took his own soldiers and rushed to the place where the grain was stored.
