Sun Kewang saw that the stone gate was full of golden gold, the ground was full of rare treasures, and there was a dragon wall on the very edge, still spitting out golden sand, he shouted excitedly: "Treasure!" Treasure! ”

Gao Junshan shouted to him: "Don't shout! Be quiet. ”

Everyone entered the stone gate together, and inside was a vault, and the money here was worth ten years of income from the Ming court, which was really rich and rivaled the country.

Looking at the gold and silver treasures everywhere in the vault, Gao Junshan couldn't help but be happy, and ordered someone to carry the gold and silver treasures immediately.

Just as everyone was busy carrying it, something strange happened, the dragon wall on the wall suddenly collapsed, and a few lines of small characters appeared on the wall, explaining the origin and purpose of this treasure.

It turned out that this was not Wei Zhongxian's treasure, but Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang left it to Zhu Yunwen in case of emergency, Zhu Yuanzhang concluded that Zhu Di would rebel, so he left a lot of money for Zhu Yunwen to let him recruit troops and buy horses, and make a comeback, but later Zhu Yunwen became a monk and did not dig it, and the treasure here has nothing to do with Wei Zhongxian.

Knowing the reason, Liu Wenxiu asked: "Could it be that those monks are all fake?" They are monks here to protect these treasures? ”

Everyone was in doubt, and the guards outside came in to report that all the monks in the temple had run away, and the host had committed suicide.

Gao Junshan walked out of the vault, walked into the empty Longjiang Temple, and saw the host who was still alive just now, hanging himself on the sorghum.

"Get this old monk down and bury it!" Gao Junshan said to Sun Kewang beside him.

Sun Kewang asked: "What about the monk who ran away?" ”

Gao Junshan waved his hand: "Let them go!" ”

……

At the end of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, after the situation in Chengdu was stabilized, Gao Junshan led his Chinese army back to Xiangyang, where he spent a pleasant and comfortable Spring Festival in Xiangyang Mansion during the Spring Festival of the fifteenth year.

After the Spring Festival, Gao Junshan was ready to wave his army to the south, he wanted to take the entire Huguang under his jurisdiction, a year ago he may not have this strength, now it is different, he sent Chongwen disciples Zhou Shichen, Jiang Guorong, Liu Da to march into Henan, and Li Zicheng to grab territory, grab the source of troops, Zhou Shichen They developed to 500,000 people in Henan, and controlled Runing Mansion and Nanyang Mansion, so that he had the full strength to divide troops to the south.

As soon as he returned to Xiangyang, he readjusted the sequence of the 930,000 troops under his command:

The West Route Army has 300,000 people, with one marshal, Gao Junshan sent Cai Zhishan to Chengdu to serve as the marshal of the West Route Army, and Tian Wenju served as the military division of the West Route Army, with nine brigades under its jurisdiction:

The first brigade is 50,000 people, and the general soldier is He Renlong;

The Ninth Brigade has 25,000 people, and the general soldier is Hu Jiusi.

The Northern Route Army has 300,000 people, with a marshal, Jiang Guorong as the marshal, Xu Yixian as the military division, and the Marshal of the North Route Army is located in Nanyang Mansion, with nine brigades under its jurisdiction:

The Ninth Brigade was 25,000 men, with a total of soldiers and horses.

The Middle Route Army has 300,000 people, with a marshal, with the meritorious Zhou Shichen as the marshal, and the military division Liu Hongru, and the marshal's office is located in Xiangyang, with nine brigades under its jurisdiction:

50,000 people in the first brigade, Cao Wenzhao, the general soldier;

50,000 men in the 2nd Brigade, the total number of Red Army friends;

30,000 people in the Third Brigade, General Soldier Zhou Wenjiang (Navy Brigade, Military Division Pan Shiyu, Deputy General Soldier Sun Dahai);

25,000 men of the 8th Brigade, General Soldier Liu Wenxiu;

The 9th Brigade has 25,000 men, and the general soldier Marvin (field artillery brigade).

The Chinese army of Gao Junshan is 30,000 people, the army division is Bailisha, and the Chinese army generals Li Hu, Li Derong, Wu Liji, and Shail.

Zhang Wu, Dai Zicheng, He Sanxing, Wang Yunguang, and Wang Zuo were Chongwen disciples who grew up in battle, and they made many military exploits under Zhou Shichen, so they were promoted to the general army, and his fifth godson was also promoted, using his direct line to control the army, which was the best way to prevent the army from mutiny.

Among the twenty-seven brigades, only Yuan Tao and Hu Jiusi were the most unreliable, they were the men and horses of the thirteen families of the original Sichuan Shaohuang, and Gao Junshan had greatly weakened their military power, and they could only command 25,000 troops each.

After Cai Zhishan arrived in Chengdu, the situation in Sichuan was greatly stabilized, and as soon as he arrived in Chengdu, he sent troops to defeat Zunyi, so that the entire Shu land was controlled in the sphere of influence of Gao Junshan, except for the small place of Shizhu, of course, because Qin Liangyu was there, Gao Junshan authorized her to stand on her own, but cut off her access to the Ming court.

After three months of conquest, the four brigades of Bai Wenxuan, Zhang Hualong, Wang Shangli, and Dou Mingwang occupied the entire territory of Hanzhong. In history, Zhang Xianzhong fought with Li Zicheng in Hanzhong to the death, and Gao Junshan was far-sighted and used four brigades to march into Hanzhong in advance, avoiding the situation that Li Zicheng came to Hanzhong to get a piece of the pie.

Similarly, Gao Junshan sent a strong force to seize Fengxiang and Baoji, which also accounted for the aura of the traverser, and he could know in advance that Li Zicheng would definitely attack Xi'an, so he had this wonderful move, after He Renlong occupied Fengxiang and Baoji, Gao Junshan sent the Dou Mingwang Brigade to join with He Renlong to jointly guard this outpost position.

Because Zhou Shichen influenced Li Zicheng's development in Henan, Li Zicheng did not rise in Henan as in history, but after attacking Kaifeng for a long time, he led an army of 400,000 (not one million in history) to retreat to Shaanxi and besiege Xi'an.

In the first month of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen (1642 AD), Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an, changed Xi'an to "Xijing", established the "Dashun" regime, and changed the year name to "Yongchang". Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu were appointed as generals of Quan, and Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Li Guo, and He Jin were generals and were responsible for military affairs; Set up the prime minister, the left auxiliary, the right bi and so on to be responsible for the administration, and its subordinate officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers six departments, each department set up a book, a waiter; There are official positions such as the Celestial Blessing Hall Scholar, the Hongwen Museum, the Bun Academy, and the Governor and Envoy. It also changed Yan'an Mansion to Tianbao Mansion, Mizhi County to Tianbao County, minted Yongchang money, opened a branch to take scholars, and fabricated the "Jiashen Calendar" and so on. Thus establishing a rebel regime centered on Xi'an and confronting the Ming court.

Historically, Li Zicheng established the "Dashun" regime in the first month of the 17th year of Chongzhen, and due to the crossing of the high mountains, the course of history was changed, especially in the 15th year of Chongzhen, and there was a great deviation from the trend of history.

Gao Junshan understands that the real test of fate for himself has only now begun.
