Chapter 507: Shaking on All Sides
The thieves resurged, Shaanxi failed to implement new crops, the peasants had no harvest, thousands of miles of red land, and the children were cannibalistic, surrounded by groups of displaced people in rags, who suffered from famine and felt deceived by the imperial court, and the new crops not only did not bring them food and clothing, but brought hunger.
One village after another they became a group of homeless people, they held all kinds of farm tools, and they searched for food in groups, and one by one Wubao became their target, and they looked for the traces of one fortress after another.
One by one, people with ill intentions began to become the leaders of a group of hungry people, they began to look around for food, looking for a Wubao that could be found, attacking Wubao, robbing, killing, is the main theme of this last days, when people are hungry, everything can happen.
In a dense jungle, there was a burst of birdsong from time to time, inside were soldiers wearing black armor, and in the middle were Li Zicheng, Li Yan and other high-level soldiers, Li Zicheng no longer had the strong heart of the past, and directly led the rebel army to kill the Quartet, he began to lurk, began to seek opportunities in the dark, in order to kill the Ming army with one blow, he looked around.
This is his only remaining hundreds of old battalions, he has to take these old brothers to continue to make a comeback, he can't lose, he is afraid that he will not be able to escape the pursuit of the red feather cavalry, Liu Zongmin on the side has a kind of fear on his face, Li Yan said, "King Chuang, the Qingzhou army is far away in Shandong, and our army is in Shaanxi, the middle is far away and the most important point!" ”
"Oh! The most important point" Li Zicheng listened carefully, at this moment his military advisor has changed from Niu Jinxing, a person who likes divination, to Li Yan, Niu Jinxing's face is strange, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, and he didn't say anything.
Li Yan continued, "The Ming Dynasty has been weak and strong, this time I heard that the Qingzhou army spent six months to go to the land of the foreign domain, the world is so big, it crossed Kyushu, and the people who crossed Kyushu are not the Zhu family, but the surname is Qin, King Chuang, I think Chongzhen He is not a last resort, and he will not let Qin Xiaochuan continue to be in the limelight, their family has been knighted up and down and sealed again, and then there is only the throne!" ”
"Oh! I see" Li Zicheng nodded, his heart was relieved, it is true, the Qingzhou army is strong, not only they are afraid, I believe Chongzhen is also jealous, and said, "This time we will slowly hide our strength and develop slowly" Li Zicheng said, he used the banner of the army this time, but it was a small part of more than a dozen people to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, but the main force was to fight one by one Wubao bandit villages to accumulate strength.
"These family members have been practicing martial arts since childhood, or they can ride horses and shoot arrows, draw the rebels closer, and the old bandits can become the main force of the rebel army" Li Zicheng nodded, just looked at the strong Wubao in front of him, waved his hand, and the artillery was pushed up, small red-clothed cannons, and the generals of the army had a strange look in their eyes, they used to have more and stronger artillery, and at this moment they could only rely on this loyal artillery to attack the fortress.
Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng muttered the name to him, he regretted it, if he had been as soft as Zhang Xianzhong, surrendered directly, developed silently, or hid, at this moment he is still the king of the infinite scenery, maybe it is him Li Zicheng in Sichuan at the moment, not Zhang Xianzhong, this failure also made him understand that Daming is far from the disadvantage he imagined.
Li Zicheng looked at the origin of the fortress Zheng Zheng in front of him, especially the pair of shoes under his feet, and Li Yan, who was standing on the side, also looked at him, and said, "Look at these shoes, the Duke of Qin went to the east, the far sea, a place as big as the Ming Dynasty, and brought back something called rubber!" ”
"King Chuang, what do you mean?" Li Yan didn't care about Li Zicheng's words, but the loneliness in his tone, extremely lonely, looking at Li Zicheng's shoes, which were things he had just seized recently, and said, "King Chuang likes these shoes very much?" ”
"Nope! Qin Xiaochuan's gaze has already gone beyond Kyushu, and I, Li Zicheng, are only limited to this land in Shaanxi! Li Zicheng had an indescribable sadness on his face, is there a gap? Really the gap, he can feel the gap between himself and him from this pair of shoes.
"It's just a shoe, in the future, if we break into the army and win the world, we will replace Qingzhou and go to the land outside Kyushu, and leave the banner on the land of Hongyi," Li Yan said, his eyes burning.
Li Zicheng struck a blow, and there was a loud bang on the ————, the cannon sprayed flames, and the projectiles hit the walls of Nawu Fort, and the walls shook for a while.
In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the thieves in Shaanxi resurged, and Chen Qiyu, the governor of Shaanxi, led troops to suppress the thieves, and the Quartet was shaken, chasing the remnants of Li Zicheng's dozens of cavalry, and they were repeatedly fled by the other party.

"Oh? It can be known that the north of Jiangnan Province is Shandong! The prince shook his head and said, "The cavalry under his command can be killed here in an instant" The prince began to publicize the threat of Qingzhou, saying that all the rich businessmen were panicking, and the name of Qingzhou's hatred of the rich had already spread, and the excerpts had been piled up into a mountain in the Taiji Palace! But what about the other party? Unimpressed! or continue to oppress the nobles.

"Xuanda?" Hearing this name, the prince didn't speak, or he thought that his enemy would never be Xuanda, but the Qingzhou Army, and this was what he thought was the enemy! "When they reach the level of the cavalry of the Qingzhou Army, this palace will be truly assured."
