Zhu Youzhen and Li Zicheng had a conversation in the air, and this was the second face-to-face confrontation between the two old enemies. Last time, I lost a look, and this time 10,000 people were deceived into the city to besiege and annihilate, Li Zicheng asked Zhu Youzhen to calculate twice, and he wanted to tear this little prince alive.

But the tragic situation of the siege troops just now, Li Zicheng also witnessed it with his own eyes. With 10,000 guts, he didn't dare to go down to the city, so he had to shout at the top of his voice: "I heard that you want to release the soldiers of the righteous army, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Rebels? Phew! Zhu Youzhen mocked loudly, "You are also worthy of saying 'righteousness'?" Nowadays, the country is constantly suffering from external troubles, with Jianguo ravaging Liaodong in the north, Japanese invaders raiding and harassing the maritime frontier in the east, and Westerners invading and occupying Taiwan in the south. If you are a dignified seven-foot man, you should serve the country, defend the frontier, and protect the people of the world, this is the real righteousness.

"But what did you do? Gather crowds to rebel, plunder states and counties, kill innocents indiscriminately, and drive the people to attack the city! Do you know how many people you've killed, they're all your countrymen! If this is called righteousness, then there will be no unrighteousness in the world! ”

At this time, the soldiers on both sides listened attentively, Zhu Youzhen's words were impassioned and righteous, not only Qin Bing was filled with righteous indignation when he heard it, but even some thieves were ashamed of what they said, and lowered their heads deeply.

Li Zicheng was not to be outdone, and snorted coldly and sneered: "As a prince, you have fine clothes and food every day, of course you don't know the suffering of the people. As the saying goes, the government forces the people to rebel, and they have to rebel, but if there is a way to live, who is willing to risk killing their heads to rebel? In recent years, natural disasters have continued, and the imperial court has repeatedly expropriated and extorted, doesn't this mean the lives of the people?

"Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has gone through hundreds of years, and now the gas is exhausted, so it will be difficult both internally and externally. Ben Chuang will conform to the time of heaven, and the righteous army will kill corrupt officials and eliminate the mandate of heaven. Everywhere the rebels went, the people all ate the pot to welcome the general, and often before the rebels attacked the city, the people took the initiative to open the city gate. The people's hearts are like this, what else do you have to say? ”

When Li Zicheng said this, a burst of cheers immediately erupted in the camp of the thieves. In fact, Zhu Youzhen also understood in his heart that Li Zicheng was not unreasonable, and the reason why the common people rebelled was to a large extent forced by the first court.

However, at this time, the commanders of the two armies replied to each other, if anyone can make the other side reasonable, he will be able to occupy the moral high ground, which will have a certain impact on the morale of the soldiers on both sides. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen will never let the other party gain the upper hand, he must completely refute Li Zicheng!

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "Li Zicheng, you can really fool and deceive many kind people!" It is said that you also made up a nursery rhyme: 'Eat his mother, wear his mother, open the gate to meet the king, and when the king comes, he will not pay food!' ’”

This nursery rhyme is really indecent, but it is very vivid. Especially when it comes out of the mouth of the dignified King Qin, it is even more funny. When the soldiers on both sides heard this, they all burst into laughter.

Li Zicheng was shocked when he heard it. A few days ago, when he was wandering around Shanxi, he once met a warlock named Song Xiance. This person took the initiative to join the camp, and he dedicated such a nursery rhyme, saying that as long as it is widely spread, the world can return to the heart.

But Song Xiance also has a great appetite, and he has to be a military advisor who breaks into the camp, and he wants the command of half of the troops when he opens his mouth. Li Zicheng is well-informed and has seen a lot of this kind of charlatan, of course he refused to agree, and Song Xiance had to retreat in a huff.

As for this nursery rhyme, Li Zicheng really remembered it in his heart, and thought that this slogan was very demagogic and would be adopted in the future. But now he doesn't have the strength to fight for the world, not to mention that the current "King Chuang" is Gao Yingxiang instead of him, so he didn't hype it up. Those who know this nursery rhyme are just a few generals in the camp.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen suddenly said it, and Li Zicheng had to respond: "That's right! But this is not a deception, wherever King Gao Chuang and Ben will go, the common people just don't have to pay food! ”

"What do you eat if you don't pay for food, and drink the northwest wind?" Zhu Youzhen suddenly snapped and shouted, "Yes, maybe you can make the people not pay food for the time being, but the premise is that you have grabbed enough military supplies!" ”

Li Zicheng also replied proudly: "Well said! Originally, they would only rob those rich and big, and ordinary people not only did not rob, but also received grain and rice..."

"And what about after that?" Zhu Youzhen knew that Li Zicheng would answer like this, and immediately threw out a sharp question, "If you really win the world and rob all those big households, will the people still not have to pay grain?" ”

Fine beads of sweat were already oozing from Li Zicheng's forehead, knowing that his lie was about to be ruthlessly exposed, but he still replied stubbornly: "Not bad! At that time, the world will be peaceful, and the soldiers will be able to disarm themselves and return to the fields, even the generals will personally plough and not take a drop from the people! ”

"Pull it down!" Zhu Youzhen immediately asked, "Do you believe this when you say it?" Even if you want to go home and farm, will the Tartars agree? What should you do when the Japanese invaders? Let the common people themselves hold hoes and sickles to resist the enemy? You can say this kind of ignorant words, which shows that you have no insight and ability to govern the world at all, and rebellion is nothing more than for your own selfishness! ”

Li Zicheng was finally scolded this time and couldn't answer. His ugly face turned red, and he snorted coldly: "If you call Ben Future, just to be quick to speak, then Ben will not be accompanied!" ”

"What's the hurry!" Zhu Youzhen laughed and said, "You didn't say that you were a 'righteous army' that this king exposed you." A thief is a thief, so don't put gold on your face! This king didn't call you to come because he wanted to talk to you, you are not worthy! But in the battle just now, we captured a lot of your men. Even Hao Shaoqi, the general in your forward battalion, is now a prisoner of this king. Originally, these people should be beheaded according to the law, but this king has the virtue of a good life, and he really can't bear to do it. ”

Li Zicheng heard that Zhu Youzhen finally got to the point, and he had to shout patiently: "Don't hurt the soldiers who broke into the camp!" Say, what conditions can you release people! ”

Zhu Youzhen also said happily: "This king doesn't want to waste time with you, in a word, change generals!" ”

"But I don't know how to change the law?"

"It's easy!" Zhu Youzhen smiled wickedly, "There are still a lot of people in your camp who have just been coerced, right?" An ordinary thief is exchanged for ten people, a small leader is exchanged for fifty people, and your love will be Hao Shaoqi, and five hundred people will be exchanged! To change or not to change, you can give a happy word! ”
