"Kill the toast?" Li Zhensheng was stunned for a while, he was reading the book of sages, if he was allowed to go against the imperial court, he might not be able to turn around for a while, if he went to deal with Tusi......

However, is it so easy to overpay for toast? For more than 200 years, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, because it cannot be completely eradicated, and it can only be mainly pacified.

If you can destroy these toasts, you can also count as a contribution, in order to ......

"That's right, kill Toast!" Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "Tusi has always had a tendency to be self-reliant, and if you keep them, sooner or later you will make trouble." ”

Li Zhensheng hesitated and said: "However, many Tusi in Xiangxi not only control local taxes, but also have their own army......

"Fu Jun is afraid that he won't be able to conquer Tusi?" Li Zicheng saw that Li Zhensheng was moved, and couldn't help laughing: "How many of Tusi's forces can surpass the Shi Yan Ma family?" And those toasts in southern Sichuan? ”

"Is the Metropolitan Governor saying that the Tusi of Sichuan have been wiped out by the Mandate of Heaven Army?" Li Zhensheng changed his name, and even he didn't feel it.

"There is a law of the Mandate of Heaven Army, called the Law of Tui'en, wherever the Mandate of Heaven Army goes, it must destroy the Tusi and let the people of other races become Han people," Li Zicheng said awe-inspiringly: "On the territory of the Mandate of Heaven Army, Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan, and the Hexi Governor's Mansion outside the country, there is no exception, all the people are either naturalized as Han people, or become dead!" ”

"Is this true? Don't the toasts resist? ”

Revolt? Li Zicheng sneered in his heart, didn't Zhu Youzhen resist? The imperial court has two million troops, and they can't help the Mandate of Heaven army, what is a little toast? If it weren't for the overall situation of the world, the toasts in the south would have been wiped out one by one!

He glanced at Li Zhensheng and said, "You don't have to worry about this, since you go to destroy the Tusi, you will naturally be given an army!" ”

Li Zhensheng's eyes were already flashing, and he said, "The governor of the capital will give this official ...... How many troops are villains? Tusi has an army in his hands, and he lives in the mountains, the terrain is complicated, and the local people are uncivilized, so I am afraid that there will be fewer soldiers......"

"Actually, we don't need too many killings," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Ordinary people are also victims, our common enemies are just a few big and small toasts, we don't need to kill many people, in fact, we are rescuing them and letting them live a better life......

Li Zicheng took out the marching map he carried with him, pointed to the westernmost part of Huguang, and said: "Shi Enwei, Yongshun Xuanwei Division, Baojingzhou Xuanwei Division, and even Chenzhou Mansion, Jingzhou, etc., there will be a lot of toast, don't worry, come one by one......"

Li Zhensheng was squatting with Li Zicheng just now looking at the map, and at this time he suddenly got up and said, "How many troops can the Metropolitan Governor give to the villain?" ”

"How?" Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Fu Jun, you have five days!" ”

Li Zhensheng nodded vigorously, "The villain has already made a decision!" ”

"Don't want to see how I attack Chengtianfu City?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "The way the Heavenly Mandate Army attacked the city may be different from the Ming Army, even if you don't want to face the Chengtian Mansion, you should listen to how the Heavenly Mandate Army annihilated Tusi......"

Li Zhensheng nodded, "That villain will leave after the New Year!" ”

Li Zicheng looked at Qian Zhongxuan, who had been looking forward to it, and said, "Is General Qian willing to join the Heavenly Mandate Army and eliminate the Tusi in Xiangxi for the Heavenly Mandate Army?" ”

"Villain...... The villain is willing! ”

"That's easy!" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "The soldiers in the Xianling Tomb don't need to be disarmed!" ”

"Not disarmed?" Qian Zhongxuan was stunned for a moment, and then understood, "The Metropolitan Governor said that they were used to beat toast?" The Metropolitan Trust Them? ”

"Among them, there must be many excellent soldiers," Li Zicheng said awe-inspiringly: "Of course, the Governor of Pontus will select some soldiers according to the requirements of the Mandate of Heaven Army, and if anyone is unwilling to join the Mandate of Heaven Army, we will not force it!" ”

"The Governor is saying that some of them can go home?" Qian Zhongxuan was very surprised, these soldiers were originally military households, and they could not leave their nationality for almost generations, if they had a choice, who would be willing to risk what danger to fight?

"In the territory of the Heavenly Mandate Army, there is no restriction on household registration, and the soldiers are all voluntary," Li Zicheng said: "However, in addition to the soldiers' salaries, they will also have half a tael of silver per month, and the government will also give about twenty acres of arable land. ”

"Yes, Grand Duke!" Qian Zhongxuan agreed, and hurriedly trotted back to the Xianling, I don't know how he said to the soldiers, and after a while, thousands of soldiers cheered out of the Xianling, and when they saw Li Zicheng, they bowed their heads, "Dadu Governor!" ”

Li Zicheng smiled and asked the soldiers to get up, and promised the decision just now in public, and the soldiers cheered again, they have always been forced to be soldiers, so there are soldiers who are still paid? There are also twenty acres of land......

For Li Zicheng, it is not a promise at all, this is the law of the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, and all soldiers are treated equally!

It's a pity that the soldiers of Xianlingwei are not satisfied with the formation, and according to the visual examination, there are less than 4,000 people at all, and Li Zicheng only selected more than 3,000 people from them, which is not enough for the establishment of a regiment at all. However, he announced in public that the Mandate of Heaven would recruit some soldiers from the nearby people.

The selected soldiers were naturally rejoicing, and the soldiers who were not selected were only a small part, looking at their disappointed eyes, Li Zicheng really had no choice.

Not everyone is suitable to be a soldier!

Those who are eliminated are all shrewd people, soldiers don't need to be too smart, just obey the orders of the public, too smart soldiers have a lot of ideas in their heads, and at critical moments, they even have a sense of fear......

The soldiers of the Xianling Guard, after dropping the armor and weapons, all took a holiday, and the eliminated soldiers naturally did not have to come back, and the selected soldiers could go home for the New Year with peace of mind.

Li Zicheng did not prepare to attack Chengtian City for the time being, so let the soldiers celebrate the New Year first, and the siege of the city should be postponed at least until the second day of the first month.

The weather was very cold, and the soldiers tried not to spend the New Year in the camp tent, Li Zicheng according to Qian Zhongxuan's suggestion, the seventh battalion was stationed in the Bailu Temple in the east of the city, and the Fengtian camp was temporarily stationed in Xianling.

Li Zhensheng and Qian Zhongxuan have decided to join the Mandate of Heaven Army, and they will celebrate the new yuan by Li Zicheng's side.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Zicheng set up a banquet at the White Deer Temple, accompanied by Niu Jinxing and Song Wen, and invited Li Zhensheng and Qian Zhongxuan to the banquet.

The Yingtian Battalion that is about to be formed will be selected by Qian Zhong as the main general, with the rank of staff general, tentatively set as two regiments, with the surrendered troops in Xianling and Chengtianfu City as the team, and then recruit some young and strong, and the other battalions of the Heavenly Mandate Army will transfer some from thousands of households and from hundreds of households to enter the Yingtian Battalion to assist the Chengtian Battalion in training soldiers.

Ying Tianying will not stay in Chengtianfu for too long for training, and after the basic training is over, he will rush to Xiangxi.

The newly appointed Huguang Inspector according to Li Zhensheng corresponds to the power of control in Tianying, and the food and salary of Ying Tianying are also distributed by Li Zhensheng according to the actual situation.

Li Zicheng characterized the relationship between the two as "using literature to control martial arts", which is in line with the tradition of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing the excitement flashing on Qian Zhongxuan's face, Li Zicheng smiled and said: "General Soldier Qian, after joining the Heavenly Mandate Army, the position of 'Chief Soldier' is gone, you, the chief general of the Yingtian Battalion, can only be a general, this is already the highest level of the commander of each battalion of the Heavenly Mandate Army, however, the officer's salary is not as much as that of the imperial court......"

Qian Zhongxuan hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates are ashamed, they have joined the Mandate of Heaven Army, and they have no ...... to do anything."

Niu Jinxing stroked his long beard, bowed his head slightly, and said: "General Qian will soon have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, naturalizing Xiangxi is very important to the Heavenly Mandate Army and all Han people!" ”

"My subordinates understand!" Qian Zhongxuan heard Li Zicheng say that Ying Tianying had already counted all the troops in the city, so he couldn't help but be secretly shocked, and hurriedly said: "Metropolitan Governor, there is a way for his subordinates to assist the Metropolitan Governor to take Chengtianfu City as soon as possible, I don't know ......."

"Take Chengtian?" Li Zicheng was secretly happy in his heart, Qian Zhongxuan was a local, maybe there were acquaintances in the city, if he got the response in the city, he might be able to avoid a bloody battle.

The siege troops he brought with him, including the cavalry of the first battalion, the gunners of the seventh battalion, and the ordinary soldiers of the Mukden battalion, were originally well prepared.

"Governor, everyone," Qian Zhongxuan said as expected, "among the defenders in the city, there are people who are with each other, if you secretly contact them, you may be able to get a response......

Li Zicheng smiled: "Can you contact them?" The four gates of Chengtian are all closed! ”

"Subordinates can try it at night!" Qian Zhongxuan arched his hands and saluted Li Zicheng, "Although the city gate is closed, the subordinates are locals, so naturally there is a way to contact the people in the city!" ”

Such a good thing, Li Zicheng naturally refused to let go, without further ado, Qian Zhongxuan put down the wine cup, ate two bowls of rice, hurriedly said goodbye, and left Xianling.

Li Zhensheng waited for Qian Zhongxuan to go far away, and then said with a faint smile: "Isn't the governor worried that Qian Zhongxuan took the opportunity to run away?" ”

"Run?" Li Zicheng laughed, "The Governor of Pontus did not force anyone to join the Mandate of Heaven Army, come and go freely, if Qian Zhongxuan is unwilling to make contributions to the Mandate of Heaven Army, he can leave calmly, why run away?" After a pause, he said: "Qian Zhongxuan has not officially served in the Mandate of Heaven Army, he is gone now, and he has nothing to do with the Mandate of Heaven Army. ”

Li Zhensheng hurriedly picked up the wine cup and toasted Li Zicheng, "The demeanor of the governor is admired by his subordinates!" From the bottom of his heart, he no longer dared to look at the Heavenly Mandate Army as an ordinary rogue.

Li Zicheng accompanied a glass, put down the wine cup, and said: "Master Li can follow Yingtianying to Yiling Prefecture or Zhijiang County south along the official road, and we have a naval army in the Yangtze River to answer!" ”

Li Zhensheng is naturally very familiar with this official road, but Li Zicheng was very surprised when he talked about the navy, "Metropolitan Governor, do we have our own navy?" ”

"That's nature," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "The navy was originally stationed in Fengjie, but now it is cooperating with the Mandate of Heaven army to go down the river, and it has already passed Yiling, Yiling is a water and land rush, and the navy will definitely garrison here, so let them cross the river by boat!" ”

"My subordinates understand!" Li Zhensheng hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Governor, we went to Xiangxi ......"

"Take Shizhouwei first, the west and north directions of Shizhouwei, respectively Sichuan and Jingzhou, are our territory, Sichuan is stationed in the eighth battalion of the Mandate of Heaven Army, Jingzhou has our naval army, if necessary, you can ask them to assist," Li Zicheng said in a deep voice: "Take Shizhouwei, set up the prefecture and county as soon as possible, I will let local officials be sent from here, and naturalized people can also be used as officials!" ”

"Subordinates understand, subordinates understand!" If Li Zhensheng was a little afraid just now, now he is full of respect for Li Zicheng and the Heavenly Mandate Army.

It's not that he doesn't have integrity, it's that the Heavenly Mandate Army is too unexpected for him, and its strength is much stronger than he imagined!

Li Zicheng picked up the wine cup and signaled to Li Zhensheng, "Master Li doesn't need to worry, you have to take your time to eliminate the toast and naturalize the aliens, and use it together, the focus is to attack the heart!" ”

Li Zhensheng picked up the wine cup and dried it in one gulp, "Subordinates remember the teachings of the Grand Duke!" ”
