"The Ming court government has decided on the Northern Expedition, and I, the Hongmen, should now step up our precautions to deal with the Ming Expedition."

The fall of the Great Western Dynasty was only a matter of time or time, and when the moment Zhang Xianzhong was strangled in the Great West, in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, there was only the power of Hongmen.

To say that there is no pressure in the heart, it is naturally fake, after all, there is still a huge gap between the Ming Dynasty and Hongmen in terms of volume and heritage, although the Hongtang soldiers are full of confidence, but as a high-level Li Tianyang, they dare not relax at all.

"What is the situation in Hebei and Shaanxi?"

Li Tianyang raised his head and asked Hong Chengchou, the head of the secretariat who was sitting next to him drinking tea.

Hong Chengchou took a sip of tea with enjoyment, and then slowly answered Li Tianyang's question.

"Don't worry, Marshal Wu Jie and his team have so many teams, most of the time is not playing around, what should be rectified is rectified, and the preparations that should be made are not bad."

Only in this peculiar place of Hongmen, in front of Li Tianyang, the supreme leader of Hongmen, can Hong Chengchou be able to relax and act without scruples, instead of being as cautious and behaving as he was in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Hong Chengchou still knows the measure, at least when there are outsiders, he will not be so arbitrary, but when he is just alone with Li Tianyang, he can present himself in front of Li Tianyang so unabashedly.

This is also Hong Chengchou's willingness to be Li Tianyang's secretary now, and he doesn't feel how wronged he is, because even if you look at the entire history of China, there are very few people who can have Hong Chengchou's current treatment.

"My Mr. Hong, are you too irresponsible to do this?"

Li Tianyang rubbed his eyebrows, looking at this great god helplessly, Hong Chengchou's current lazy mentality is all what Li Tianyang is used to.

"Oh, my lord, now our Hongtang army is in the major military regions of Hebei and Shanxi, and the total strength has exceeded 300,000, before we didn't take the Ming and Qing Dynasty in our eyes with less than 100,000 troops, are we afraid now?"

Hong Tang is in the five major military regions in the north, in order to expand the army, everyone has been eight immortals across the sea for most of the past half a year, and has exhausted all the means that can expand the strength of the army.

Among them, the army is the largest, but it is closer to the border, and it should be more difficult to expand the army in Datong and Jinyang Military Region, but now there are less than 20,000 troops from the formation of his army.

"That being said, but our army is now a mixed army, and the quality of the army is certainly not comparable to my previous army."

Li Tianyang still said worriedly.

This is an indisputable fact, in order to expand their strength, the five major military regions of the Hongtang mainland have lowered the standard for joining the army again and again, which is far less than the original requirements of the Hongtang army.

And among these sources of soldiers, many of them are horse bandits, a few nomads, and soldiers who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, among them, you can find any kind of bad habits that human beings have, and many ethnic minorities do not understand the language, and if you want to domesticate them, the price you need to pay is far from the ease of Hongmen recruiting troops in Dayuan Island and Luzon Island.

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

Because of this, Li Tianyang was particularly worried about whether Wu Jie's level of preparation was really as relaxed and confident as Hong Chengchou showed.

At the beginning, everything was still going according to plan, but after some smashing, Zuo Yiqian, who rushed forward to protect his belongings, was also severely taught a lesson by several strong men.

The two guys invited by the silk village did not dare to step forward to stop them, and the strong men who were red at the eyes of the dead hands, while smashing the goods in the village, the blood of Zuo Yiqian's beating was like an infusion, and they were unrecognizable.

Zuo Yiqian is also a tough guy, his entire net worth is in this Zhuangzi, now the economy is in recession, business is difficult to do, to be honest, he has no other more valuable goods besides this Zhuangzi.

After the weak and even this Zhuangzi was destroyed, it would be a catastrophe for Zuo Yiqian and his family.

In order to protect his property, Zuo Yiqian can be regarded as fighting with his life, and he stubbornly entangled one of the thugs who smashed the most powerfully, so that he could not use his hands and feet.

For these hungry and crazy thugs, and finally found a temporary job, at this moment, in order to complete the task and get the due remuneration, no one dares to steal and play tricks, although these two silver are now in the inflationary Suzhou, it is not much value, but at least they can buy a small half stone ration to maintain the life of a family of three for a month.

Moreover, for these thugs, their hearts are filled with anger and injustice: they have given up their dignity all day long for their livelihood and are like dogs who let people call and drink; For a job that requires them to work hard, they all need to squeeze their heads.

But look at the guy in front of them, because they are reincarnated well, they have no worries about food and clothing since they were born, and when others are still desperate for a mouthful of porridge, they are still thinking about bullying other people's wives and relatives.

The reason why the thugs have always kept these injustices deep in their hearts is because they still maintain a minimum of conscience and calm thinking.

However, when they break through the defense of conscience that they have built since childhood, what they may do next will be beyond their imagination.

Although it is forbidden to carry weapons among the people, in order to defend themselves, almost all of the five thugs present have a simple weapon: an iron needle with a sharp edge, and a kitchen knife full of rust marks that I don't know where to go.

The entangled thug was very panicked when he did this kind of thing for the first time, and he was worried about what he was doing, and he was likely to be bumped into by the officials patrolling around, and at the same time, he was also very worried about the shopkeeper who was holding his left leg at his feet.

didn't think much about it, after the thug got rid of the entanglement several times to no avail, he raised his heart ruthlessly and pulled out the self-defense dagger from his long sleeve, and stabbed it without thinking about it!

"Ahh

At that time, I heard Zuo Yiqian's scream, and then a stream of blood followed the action of the thug who pulled out the dagger, and scattered it around, and suddenly a bloody breath gushed out.

"Y-What are you doing!"

The other four thugs who were busy robbing were also taken aback, and everyone was just here to teach the shopkeeper a lesson, but they didn't think about using knives.
