The Jingying of Nanzhili is different from the Jingshi, and the local area is extremely rich, if you only look at the development of Nanzhili, it can even be called the word prosperity.

Commerce, crafts, and everything else are thriving.

The money in the official's family is too much to count, so the small-level military salary is not deducted too much, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the Beijing camp is much stronger than that of Beizhili.

Lu Jiude and Liu Fu, the eunuch guarding the town of Nanzhili, are different, the two of them belong to the subordinates of the celebrant of the north and south Zhili, they are not on the right path, and their status is not comparable at all, and they have never been able to go to the same pot.

This time, he was squeezed out to do drudgery such as guarding the central capital Fengyang, and Liu Fu also played a role in adding fuel to the fire.

Whether it is for his own life or for the illusory future, Lu Jiude has only one way to go at the moment, and that is to do his best to protect Fengyang.

Only by keeping Fengyang can there be the most basic things to settle down.

Fortunately, he is not defending this piece by himself, and the two generals Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo, who have quite meritorious military achievements, are also there, at least it will not be so empty.

Of course, if it really doesn't work, there are still Anton Hou Wang's people in Xuzhou, and it really reaches the point of burning his eyebrows, and he can also ask for it at a low level.

Speaking of which, just the garrison of Nanjing City is not to be underestimated.

In addition to the Beijing camp, most of them are military generals such as the Duke of Wei and the Xu family, these people have been raising family members and generals in the Nanzhili area for generations, all of them are powerful, and the soldiers and horses in their hands still have some combat effectiveness.

At least catch the ducks on the shelves and pull them out, and it is more than enough to deal with the Fourth Battalion of Gezuo and Yuan Shizhong, who were disabled by the Shandong Army.

Unlike the Central Plains in the north, there seems to be a dividing line between natural disasters and major droughts for many years, and there are basically no major natural disasters except for droughts and floods that do not cause much damage at all.

If there is no natural disaster, there will be no victims, and the tactics of the sea of people that the Shun army relies on for their livelihood will no longer work, and although the number of the Shun army going south is no less than 200,000, it is not as simple as the Central Plains.

Hearing that the Shun army was coming, the residents of those villages and towns on the edge of Yingshui basically ran away.

The invincible Shun army seems to be stuck in the quagmire of Fengyang, and the official army of Nanzhili suddenly wins or loses, and the official army fights on the mainland, and there is no shortage of food and salary, but there is no chaos.

But the Shun army's side was no longer so smooth, and a series of small defeats and small victories could not satisfy the ambitions of these thieves to sweep and plunder, and the army's morale began to be irrepressibly weakened.

Yuan Shizhong realized this, anxious to win a battle to win the army's morale, and heard that Huang Degong's headquarters only had more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, so he led a small Yuan battalion of nearly 100,000 people to attack.

There were only more than 10,000 people on the other side, and Yuan Shizhong was nearly ten times as much as him, so he didn't expect to be killed by the other party after a fierce battle.

After being defeated by Huang Degong, Yuan Shizhong led the remnants to flee, which was originally received by the fourth battalion of the left of the revolution, but the old Hui Ma Shouying and other four kings did not move, but ran to the Xincai area to wander.

Liu Liangzuo, who was still waiting, immediately had the idea of snatching the credit when he saw this, and hurriedly took more than 10,000 soldiers and horses out to intercept and kill, and after a fight, he beheaded more than 2,000.

This is to really preserve their own strength, Yuan Shizhong was angry after going back, and took the small Yuan battalion and the fourth battalion of Gezuo to confront each other, but Ma Shouying said that he was ordered by King Xinshun.

At this time, Yuan Shizhong was speechless, and it didn't seem like a fraud to see that Ma Shouying and the others were fake, but why did Li Zicheng give this order?

After Yuan Shizhong returned to Li Zicheng, the king of Xinshun, he thought that he had always done his best, but this time the small Yuan camp was defeated by Huang Degong, and on the way to retreat, he was intercepted and killed by Liu Liangzuo's white-eyed wolf, and the damage was not limited to tens of thousands, how could this breath be endured.

Almost without much thought, Yuan Shizhong took tens of thousands of remnants of Xiao Yuan's camp to the north to the Xiangyang area, wanting to go to Li Zicheng, the king of Xinshun, to ask for an explanation.

......

In fact, Li Zicheng, who was in Xiangyang, didn't sleep steadily, he always kept a straight face, and Niu Jinxing, the same.

Everyone doesn't understand that at present, the Shun army is like a bamboo, and the Ming army in various places is looking forward to the wind and surrendering, and it is a great thing to say it, why is it still like this.

At night, Li Zicheng often jumped up and drew his knife without warning, shouting Wang Zheng and Liu Zongmin Yunyun in his mouth, scaring several wives and concubines into suspicious looks.

Li Zicheng is not worried about the counterattack of the Ming Court, there is nothing left of the Ming Court in the Central Plains at the moment, unless Wu Sangui, who is guarding the Shanhaiguan, is transferred back, but does Chongzhen have that courage?

On the contrary, he and Niu Jinxing and others were worried about whether the soldiers and horses of Anton Anton Hou Wang Zheng in the east would kill him, you must know that Li Zicheng had never won once in the face of Wang Zheng.

continued to lose at the hands of Wang Zheng, which severely damaged Li Zicheng's confidence, and even reached the point of being moody when he heard the name Wang Zheng.

No matter how favorable the battle situation is to the Shun army, the Shandong army is always like a rock in the sea, standing still regardless of the wind and waves, and in the end, it is often its own side that cannot hold on to collapse.

Especially after hearing that Wang Zhengqin led the Shandong army to enter Xuzhou not long ago, Li Zicheng put down all the affairs at hand and kept inquiring about the news in the starry night to see if the Shandong army was going westward.

The Shandong army was still so efficient, and in the month it entered Xuzhou, it had completely controlled the prefectures and counties in the territory and began to collect Caoyun centigold.

Li Zicheng was even more worried, and sent the old battalion horse team to reconnoiter in Xuzhou and Henan day and night, and once there was any movement of the Shandong army, he would immediately know the latest news.

However, in May of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, the Shun army had completely opened up the situation in the Central Plains, and even Huguang controlled most of it, but there was still no news about the Shandong army in Xuzhou.

Li Zicheng's heart had been beating restlessly, and only then did he calm down slightly.

The most luxurious decoration in Xiangyang City was the Daming Fu Palace, the magnificent appearance, no worse than the palace in the hearts of the thieves, such an extremely luxurious place, naturally to the new Shun King Li Zicheng to use.

But for some reason, Li Zicheng hesitated outside the palace for a long time, and finally did not live in it, but sent someone to put a seal on it, and made a strict order, saying that the Shun army was not allowed to enter the palace to live.

In this way, Li Zicheng is even more of a hero under the deliberate preaching of people with intentions, and many people are eager for the righteous teachers under the command of King Xinshun.

Li Zicheng casually found a big family mansion in Xiangyang City to live in, compared to the palace is indeed a lot shabby, but in the final analysis, in fact, the residence is not bad, there should be the same, at least it is a hundred times stronger than the post station where he originally served.

That night, the house of Li Zicheng, the king of Xinshun, was brightly lit, and there were two soldiers wearing white iron armor, cold eyes, and holding large swords outside.

There is a large map on the table in the room, which includes part of Henan, all of Huguang, and most of Fengyang, which is relatively detailed.

This map Li Zicheng cherishes very much, it is said that some time ago in Zhuxian Town and the official army, Zuo Liangyu escaped and did not have time to take it away, which is precious to the Shun army.

Liu Zongmin died in the hands of Quan Zhuo, a general under the command of Anton Hou Wang Zheng, and the general He Jin was leading the troops outside, so at this time, there were only Li Zicheng's righteous son Li Shuangxi and Gao Yigong, Li Guo, Liu Fangliang and other battalion generals around the table.

Li Guo patted the table angrily and said in a muffled voice:

"King Shun, it was Li Guo's incompetence that allowed Gao Jie's thief to run across the river!"
