Chapter Seventy-Nine: Dividing Fertilizer
For a moment, the entire deck was in chaos.
"Stop!" Zhang Xianzhong roared, like a thunderclap sounding in the middle of the sky, and everyone who had just been in a pile stopped at the same time.
After the Xingyang Conference, the peasant armies of various families got together, and everyone got along with each other, and they knew very well what they were doing with each other.
When it comes to strength, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Ma Shouying, and Hengtianxing Ma Jinzhong each have more than 10,000 horses, ranking at the forefront. But the situation of each general is different, among them, Gao Yingxiang's men and horses fought the most, so he was elected as the big leader. And Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates are the best equipped, mostly cavalry, and have the strongest combat effectiveness. It can be said that from Shaanxi to Shanxi and then to Henan, all the battles were fought by these two families.
As for the others, although there are many soldiers and horses, most of them are ordinary people and homeless people, just a foil.
After the First World War in Henan, Gaobu suffered a lot of losses. Today, Zhang Xianzhong's team is still relatively complete, and he has prestige on weekdays. Hearing his roar, everyone subconsciously stopped.
Li Zicheng next to him sighed in his heart: "King Chuang's temperament is still a little weaker, even a single star dares to step on his head and, as a commander, such a character is not possible." If we follow such a leader, I am afraid that we will suffer a lot of losses in the future. The Eight Kings are a character. ”
Zhang Xianzhong shouted: "Heng Tianxing, what are you committing to be crossed? Don't forget, at the Xingyang Conference, we jointly elected King Chuang as our big leader, you are so disrespectful to King Chuang, aren't you afraid of military law? ”
Heng Tianxing snorted coldly: "What kind of military law, he Gao Yingxiang has 10,000 horses, and I also have 10,000 horses." We are not his subordinates, why should he use military law to punish me? It's really annoying Lao Tzu, it's a big deal, let's each pull the team to do a fight. ”
Zhang Xianzhong was furious: "Okay, it's very good, you have turned the sky upside down?" are all brothers who have drunk blood wine together, where is the reason for their own brothers to fight their own brothers? If you don't follow the order, it's very good, if you want to plan for me to be a share, I will help Brother Gao. ”
Heng Tianxing's face sank, and he said negatively: "Fight, fight, who is afraid of whom, the eight kings, you pull the bias, I am not convinced." ”
Taken by Zhang Xianzhong's prestige, Heng Tianxing's hand was loosened.
Gao Yingxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and arched his hand at him with a wry smile: "Brother Ma, you didn't say anything when you came, so you attacked me, which made me so confused." What happened, and how I offended Brother Ma, you should always tell clearly, right? ”
Heng Tianxing's eyes widened, and he scolded: "Gao Yingxiang, I will join your mother, you are going to eat alone, and you are embarrassed to ask me." ”
Gao Yingxiang looked confused, and said politely: "Brother Ma said this for no reason, I, Gao Yingxiang, was elected as the big leader by the brothers, not because I have any great ability." In fact, the surname Gao is fair and just in his daily life, which is why he has won everyone's love. From Henan to the present, everyone is looking at how Gao behaves and does things. Brother Ma, you said this, Gao was not convinced. ”
Seeing Gao Yingxiang say so politely, Li Zicheng secretly shook his head in his heart: King Chuang acts like this, although there is a great wind of benevolence and righteousness, but the leaders of each family are arrogant and rude, afraid of danger and not virtuous, in the long run, I am afraid that everyone will not take you, the king of Chuang, seriously.
Heng Tianxing shouted: "Justice, justice fart!" King Chuang, don't pretend to be confused, look at the good things you have done. Last night, the leaders of each family sent their elites into the city first. If it is the number and strength of the force, no one else is less than you. Why should you take a large portion of the spoils of war? ”
As he spoke, he threw a seal to the ground: "That Liu Zongmin Liu Manzi under your command, after his mother entered the city, he didn't do anything, so he got the seal and pasted it everywhere." Up to now, the warehouses all over the city have become your king's, you say, how can people be convinced? ”
Li Zicheng picked up the seal from the deck and looked at it, and was secretly happy in his heart, this Liu Zongmin looks reckless and impulsive on weekdays, but he doesn't want to be a person who gives it with his heart, this hand is really beautiful!
Heng Tianxing was in trouble, and the leaders of the other peasant armies also shouted: "King Chuang, everyone has contributed the same amount of strength, you don't want to be righteous when you do this." No, I have to come up with an explanation today. ”
In the chaos and shouting, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng understood that after Liu Zongmin led his troops into the city last night, he took the seal and occupied more than a dozen warehouses in the household department, and he didn't even leave a mouthful of soup to others.
For a time, everyone was united and the emotions were surging. Gao Yingxiang was originally a good-natured person, and he was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and he gave his hand again and again: "Brothers, brothers, what kind of person my surname is Gao, everyone still doesn't know." I will definitely give you an explanation of this matter, and I must satisfy all my brothers. ”
"Okay, Brother Gao is really righteous."
"We can trust Brother Chuangwang's character, and we will do whatever you say."
For a moment, all the leaders gave a thumbs up and applauded.
Gao Yingxiang also touched his beard and smiled, as if he was enjoying this compliment.
Li Zicheng screamed in his heart next to him, how could he spit out the fat that was swallowed in his mouth, so, not to mention the cold soldiers' hearts, the key is that as long as he gives up the treasury that was sealed by Liu Zongmin, King Chuang will be crushed by other families in the future, and this big leader will have no prestige. Moreover, Zong Min is the first fierce general of our army, if he annoys this barbarian, I don't know if this guy will pull the team to do it alone. When the time comes, my army will fall apart.
He glanced back, but saw Zhang Xianzhong smug next to him, and knew in his heart that today's play must be directed by the Eight Kings.
Seeing that Gao Yingxiang was about to agree to the seal posted by the leader Liu Zongmin, Li Zicheng took a step forward and said loudly: "It's just a matter of a few warehouses, although the property inside is tempting, it is nothing compared to the entire Fenglai." Brothers, you really don't have any knowledge! ”
Hearing his words, everyone turned their heads, and Zhang Xianzhong also put away his smile and showed a vigilant look on his face.
Heng Tianxing roared angrily: "Li Zicheng, your king has nodded, is it your turn to speak, Gao Yingxiang, is this the rule of your camp?" ”
Li Zicheng was not afraid, and laughed instead: "Brother Ma, big brothers, you listen to me after I finish speaking." This is the central capital of the Ming Dynasty, what is the capital, it is a big city, there are high-ranking officials and nobles in the city, the warehouses of the household department and several other yamen, and the big households in the city are nothing. Besides, most of the household warehouses are autumn grain, and it is impossible for us to stay in Fengyang for a long time, after all, we will have to leave one day, and we can't take away so much rice grain. Instead of making the brothers unhappy about these dead things, let's hurry up and go into the city to find a way to get started. ”
He took a breath and looked awe-inspiring: "Just now I was discussing with King Chuang, and I simply dug up the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family, you think, what can be buried in it is the emperor's ancestors, and there must be a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to accompany the burial." Also, the rich families in the city can't let it go, so they just cut off a piece of it and rob his mother. Food and everything else are bulky things, and they are not as soft as gold and silver, so you can carry them with you. Brothers, do you think I have any point? ”
Slaughtering the city, these two words flashed in everyone's hearts.
Then, both eyes turned blood-red.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Brother Li is right, what are we fighting for a few warehouses, how many things can be in it, how can it be compared to the entire Fengyang City?" It's better to hurry up and go into the city and rob the fucking pleasure! ”
"Yes, yes, let's not rub shoulder, King Chuang, the eight kings, you two should first mark out the place and get serious."
"Hurry up, go and dig the ancestral grave of the Zhu family. Over the years, how many brothers have died at the hands of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and they have been driven from Shaanxi to Shanxi, and then to Henan, like a bereaved dog. It's not that we can't do it, it's really that the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family has good feng shui. I waited until I broke off his dragon vein, and I won't be chased and beaten again in the future! ”
For a while, there was a round of applause.
Even Heng Tianxing didn't have the heart to argue with Gao Yingxiang, and shouted: "The piece of the dock has to be given to me." ”
Gao Yingxiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the huge turmoil was solved by Li Zicheng in a few words, and showed a relieved smile: "Brother Zhang, the eighth king, come here, let's discuss, how to divide this Fengyang?" ”
"Okay, just follow the king's." Zhang Xianzhong nodded and walked over, his eyes couldn't help but pass over Li Zicheng.
I paid attention to this person in my heart: Gao Yingxiang has a cowardly personality, and if it is good, it is righteous, and if it is bad, it is not talented. However, his subordinate named Li Zicheng is a character, and he made such a big turmoil invisible in an understatement. If this person is not good in the future, he will become the leader of a party, and Gao Yingxiang will not be able to control such a fierce tiger. Moreover, this general Chuang is quick-witted, and it is estimated that yesterday's closure of the library was his instruction.
For an army, food, clothing, and ordnance are the most valuable things. As for gold, silver, and jewelry, it is useless to me if I do not eat or drink.
This man could see it.
Immediately, someone brought a map, and dozens of peasant troops gathered in a circle on the deck and discussed it loudly.
Within a while, the map of Fengyang was divided into twenty or thirty squares according to the strength of each person, and distributed them to the leaders of each peasant army.
After the division was completed, the leaders of each family screamed, jumped on the sampan, and returned to the old camp to prepare.
When the sun rose overhead, the fleet that had been stopped for half a day set sail at the same time, viciously rushing towards Fengyang.
Boats of sampans brought ashore the peasant soldiers with bright weapons in their hands, and after a few moments, the flames that were about to be extinguished were burned again, and the city was filled with the cries of the people.
Fengyang ushered in the most tragic day.
