At the end of April of the fifth year of Chongzhen, it was a time to make everything distorted, in just two days, the undercurrent that determined the situation of the Ming Dynasty was rapidly churning and rolling, and no one in later generations could know what happened in it, and the treacherous treachery of the year was drowned in the long stream of history.

But many later generations could not see the dark waves, but they could see that history had completely changed in the two months that followed.

In two months, he forced a small person's determination to take the stars in his hands.

End of April.

Tang Xidong accompanied Liu Lianqing in the back hall, Liu Lianqing, who was pregnant for five months, was slightly rich, and her slightly bulging stomach could already feel the restlessness of a new life restless.

As a mother for the first time, Liu Lianqing inevitably has some emotional ups and downs, and Tang Xidong will always take time to accompany her in his spare time when dealing with official business recently, talk about the past, and recall the journey along the way.

Tang Xidong, who walked out of the back hall in the evening, had a smile on his face.

The front hall was waiting for Jia Huaizhong, who had returned from the capital.

Jia Huaizhong went to the capital in April in order to find a few backers for Tang Xidong.

But I don't know if it's because of the lack of efforts to tackle key problems or other reasons, except for Zhou Yanru, who loves money like his life, who has 100,000 silver, everyone else refuses to do so.

Such a situation made Tang Xidong see the crisis, and at the same time clearly tested the attitude of the Ming court towards himself, recruited security leave, and used it as true.

As a result, Tang Xidong had to start thinking about his own back road, embankment the Ming army, and use the anti-army.

I was talking to Jia Huaizhong.

The soldiers entered the hall and whispered twice in Tang Xidong's ear, Tang Xidong frowned, and then motioned for Jia Huaizhong to go down first.

Looking at the door of the hall, Tang Xidong's mind was spinning, but he didn't expect the other party to send someone over.

Half an hour later, two figures at the gate walked in.

An old man with a backpack, a young gentleman.

The two entered the hall and saluted respectfully.

These two people are no strangers to Tang Xidong, and behind them stood hundreds of thousands of rebels in Zezhou and Qinzhou respectively.

The old man was the military advisor of Wang Jiayin, who had come to Pingyang City to get married, and the young scholar was the staff member of the king who had been in charge of secret negotiations.

The last time Tang Xidong held down the old man and attacked Yangcheng at the same time, and when the old man left, he was very unhappy and angry.

"Two gentlemen, come from afar, hard work!"

All the soldiers in the hall retreated, and only three people remained.

"Tang Xunpress has been absent for a long time, and there is nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace, and today the two of us are here to discuss important matters with the Patrol Press on behalf of the Shaanxi Anti-Army."

Tang Xidong nodded and motioned for the two to continue.

The rebels in Qinzhou and Zezhou sent people to come together, and Tang Xidong knew that this was the rebel army that could not stop the Ming army and his own offensive.

Although he was recruited, he was not Daming's own family after all, relatively speaking, it was easier to speak.

"Although the adult was recruited by the Ming court and appointed a big official, but this is greasy, no one will see clearly, and now the adult assists the Ming army to attack my Zezhou righteous army, is it difficult not to be afraid, after beating my righteous army, the Ming court will turn around and clean up the adult's Pingyang? The so-called cold lips and teeth, I believe that adults can see it more clearly than anyone else, but it is a little strange, adults know such a truth, but they are still willing to put their heads under the knife of the Ming army, is it really strange? The old man sat there pretending.

Tang Xidong glanced at it, smiled and didn't speak.

"Lord Tang, you and I have already negotiated not to attack each other, why did the adult write to the Ming court and force the Ming army to attack my Qinzhou rebel army, could it be that the adult is a villain?" The young man was a little breathless.

There are too many people in this world, and there are many mouths, so if there are too many mouths, there will naturally be no secrets, so Tang Xidong is not surprised that the Qinzhou rebels learned that he was playing.

Listening to the young scholar's words, Tang Xidong still smiled and didn't speak.

"Today, the two of us are here to ask for an explanation, and I hope that Lord Tang will not think that this is child's play. There are hundreds of thousands of horses in the Shaanxi Righteous Army, and you can go at any time if you want to, but you can't drag Pingyang away. The old man frowned and threatened.

Tang Xidong opened the cup, blew the tea leaves, and took a sip slowly: "There are always some people in this world who will regard giving face as a rampant capital. ”

"The Shaanxi rebels want to fight over, and someone Tang is welcome at any time? The legs are in everyone, and I don't have the ability to tie a rope with everyone. ”

"It seems that Lord Tang is deliberately going to be the enemy of my hundreds of thousands of rebels? In that case, then I didn't come today. The old man straightened his back, which he had been carrying, and got up to leave.

"Since you're here to ask for help, don't put on a show, figure out whether human life is important or attitude is important!"

Tang Xidong lowered his head and blew the teacup, and said slowly without looking at the two who were about to leave.

So the two who were about to leave froze in the hall, and only after a while turned to sit down in their chairs again.

"There was a lot of offense just now, and I ask Lord Tang to atone for his sins." The young gentleman relented.

Tang Xidong still smiled, looked at the two of them and sighed: "You two are also understanding people, Tang has already done his best to treat the righteous army, otherwise I am afraid that Zezhou would have been bleeding a long time ago." ”

"Since the two of you are here today, Tang will not let the two of you go home empty-handed."

"If you want to solve the things in front of you and change the situation in front of you, it actually lies in the righteous army, not in Tang, nor in the Ming army."

"Today, Tang will make a move for both of you, as long as you do it, you can naturally get out of the current predicament."

Looking at the dazed two, Tang Xidong reached out and dipped his hand in the tea and wrote two words on the table.

The old man and the young man stood up and looked at each other, then looked down in thought.

"The righteous army has been out for a long time, and it must be very homesick, but Shaanxi is entrenched in a large number of Ming troops, and going back must be a dead end, the righteous army only needs two steps to make the road ahead unimpeded, the first step Tang has already thought of for both of you, as for whether you can go or not, it is your business, the second step, I don't say that you also understand."

After Tang Xidong finished speaking, he turned his face to the east, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

The old man and the young man thought for a long time, then glanced at each other, stood in front of Tang Xidong, bowed deeply, and then turned around and walked out of the hall.

Looking at the backs of the two, Tang Xidong smiled happily.

The Zezhou and Qinzhou that the Ming promised to him were about to arrive, and the Ming army surrounded by him was about to disperse.

Tang Xidong's move for the Shaanxi anti-army branch will only be used by the Shaanxi anti-army in a few years, but the reason why Tang Xidong supported the Shaanxi anti-army at this time is to disturb the Ming army's encirclement of him and take Qinzhou and Zezhou.

Tang Xidong was very sure that the Shaanxi rebels would definitely follow the strategy they had set.

Because they have no way out.

And the road that Tang Xidong gave them was the best way for them.

It's just that Tang Xidong doesn't want these hundreds of thousands of rebels to continue to return to Shaanxi, so things will return to the original point, and Tang Xidong doesn't want to get such a result.
