At the end of the Ming Dynasty, how many passers-by there were in the peasant rebel army, even historians can't figure it out, the more popular saying is that there are thirteen families and seventy-two battalions, these thirteen families refer to the giant Kou, at least tens of thousands of horses, and the seventy-two battalions are the big ones, at least thousands of people and horses, as for those in the middle and small Kou, it is estimated that there can be hundreds of roads.

There are all kinds of birds when the so-called forest is big, and it is naturally impossible for so many leaders of the rebel army to be monolithic, among them, there are those who are stubborn to the end, those who are determined, those who are not determined, and even those who want to be officials with their own respect.

Like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, they belong to the kind of people who are stubborn to the end, there is no way, they rebelled because they committed something and couldn't get along, even if the court doesn't care about their rebellion, it is a capital crime to check what they did before they rebelled, they only have one way, that is, to be stubborn to the end. Of course, the court may not be guilty of the past, this possibility is not impossible, but it is more likely that when Zhao'an said that he was not guilty of the past, and when the situation is stable, he will turn over your old bottom, and this kind of pure gambling will be done by fools.

If you want to say that the strong-willed ones are Gao Yingxiang and Luo Rucai, they really want to overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but they are all hung up when they think about it.

There are more people who are not strong-willed, the characteristics of this kind of people are that there is a grass on the wall, the wind blows on both sides, they surrender to the court when the court is strong, and when the righteous army is powerful, they immediately rise up again, you can never guess whether they want to rebel or want to surrender, because they themselves don't have a spectrum in their hearts.

If you want to say that you want to be an official with self-respect, there may be people here who can't understand it, a thief is a thief, an official is an official, you say that the anti-thief rebellion is to be an official, isn't it a bit too unreliable. This statement is a bit unreliable, but some people are even more unreliable, the most unreliable is Song Jiang, no one can understand why he surrendered to the imperial court, even Liangshan's brother can't figure it out, later historians carefully studied it and found that this guy just wants to be an official!

There are also such people in the peasant rebel army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, among which the representatives are Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing, maybe they are not famous in history, but they were quite famous at the time, they are all one of the thirteen giants, and the name can scare people to death, Liu Guoneng is nicknamed "Breaking the Sky", Li Wanqing is nicknamed "Shooting the Sky", it seems that they all want to collapse the sky, but the result is to surrender to the imperial court, which is really unreliable.

This will is not firm and the idea is unreliable without going through several tests, at least Luo Rucai now does not know that the leaders of the rebel army who followed him to Fengyang will be particularly unreliable, and now the little emperor himself has led an army of 200,000 to encircle and suppress, and he has to discuss countermeasures, so he gathered all the leaders together and let everyone talk about it, see what to do.

Why use the word instead of the word? As mentioned earlier, the righteous army is not very afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army, they can't beat it, but they have run away, and maybe they can take Fengyang to the Ming army for a few laps, at least Luo Ru thinks so.

He didn't know that many of the people in the room didn't want to go with him.

Like the old Hui Hui Ma Shouying, Ge Li Yan He Yilong, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin and others of the Fifth Battalion of Ge Zuo thought that what they were afraid of, if they couldn't beat them if they couldn't fight, and if they couldn't escape, they would be lowered, and if the officers and soldiers didn't kill the prisoners, it would be a big deal to be sent back to their hometowns.

Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing, who broke into the sky, had already considered whether to secretly send someone to the imperial court, they were thinking more about how big an official they would be after returning to the court!

Of course, whether you want to surrender or become an official, you must first show your muscles, that is, prove your ability in front of the officers and soldiers, otherwise I am afraid that the opportunity to surrender will be gone, and you will be directly destroyed by others, and there is no door if you want to be an official.

Although everyone has their own ghosts, the minimum goal is still the same, that is, to run first, so the conference convened by Luo Rucai this time was relatively successful, and everyone agreed that the little emperor's tactics of scattered encirclement are not a big deal, as long as they concentrate on attacking all the way, everyone can escape from the encirclement.

Is it really what they think? Of course, it was impossible, if they went to Zhu Cijiong's camp to take a look, they probably wouldn't think so.

Zhu Cijiong's current camp is not much different from the past in appearance, it is still a large army stationed on the periphery, then a circle of brocade guards and a camp guarded by Dongchang masters, and then the camp tent of the eunuchs and palace maids who serve with him, and a super tent of hundreds of square meters in the middle.

However, if you take a closer look, you will find that there are dozens of colorful thin lines like camouflage painted from all directions gathered into the super tent in the middle, well, this camouflage color is not specially painted, mainly because the coloring problem of the rubber insulation layer is not mature, originally wanted to be made black, but various pigments can not be fully integrated into the rubber particles, so it becomes a colorful camouflage, but just right, this camouflage line is casually put there, If you don't look closely, you really can't see that there is a thread on the ground. Zhu Cijiong saw this effect, and simply clapped the board, just dropped, anyway, it was not used to sell, as long as it was practical for his own use.

Of course, this line is not the key, the key is in the super tent, this royal tent was originally luxuriously arranged, like a palace, but now it has been changed beyond recognition by Zhu Cijiong.

He ordered people to divide the imperial tent into two sides, one side was a telegraph machine, dozens of correspondents sat densely packed on the table, constantly receiving and sending telegrams, and from time to time ran to Zhu Cijiong to report the latest situation; The other side is not much luxurious, only half of it is used as a bedroom, and the other half is placed on a large round table, on which are the sand molds around Fengyang Mansion, which are densely filled with small flags representing the positions of the Ming army.

Now that all the Ming armies have entered the territory of Fengyang Mansion, the nearest one is less than a hundred miles away from the camp of the righteous army, and the righteous army may launch a surprise attack at any time, so Zhu Cijiong ordered all the Ming troops to camp on the spot, move forward alternately, and prepare for a defensive counterattack.

He is now standing at the round table, holding a baton and pointing on the sand mold, adjusting the position of the Ming army from all walks of life, and trying to arrange the encirclement more tightly, while Shi Kefa and Qin Gongming on the side pulled up the flag according to the position indicated by Zhu Cijiong, and inserted it over, and they were very busy, and there were more correspondents and heralds running around in the back, if it weren't for Cao Huachun, who was standing on the side, and was still wearing the service of a eunuch, this unified military uniform full of eyes, and the shining generals, was completely a command room of modern warfare, Where it looks like in the Ming Dynasty!

At this time, a correspondent suddenly ran in with a telegram decoder paper, held the decoder paper to Zhu Cijiong, bowed his head and saluted: "Your Majesty, the first army, the third division, and the first regiment of the Dingliao Army have found that a large number of thieves are rushing towards their camp. ”

Zhu Cijiong also changed this division and battalion according to the habits of modern people, mainly for the convenience of command, but as for the position, he did not change, the commander is the commander of the corps, the general is equivalent to the army commander, the general is equivalent to the division commander, and the guerrilla general is equivalent to the regiment commander.

He took the telegram, looked at it hurriedly, and immediately asked loudly: "Qin Gongming, the location of the 131st regiment." ”

Qin Gongming hurriedly leaned on the sand mold and carefully looked for the small blue flag, the red ones were all from the Second Legion of the Praetorian Guard, and Shi Kefa was in charge, he didn't have to look at it at all, so he saved half of the time, and soon he found the small flag with the words Dingliao 131 written on it.

An encirclement and suppression war has begun, will the rebels still be able to escape as before? Let's see the next breakdown.
