Thinking of dealing with the Tartars, Zhao Guohua felt that the troops in his hands were insufficient, and he did not think that with his more than 10,000 horses and more than 300 Type 81 automatic rifles, he could resist Huang Taiji's hundreds of thousands of troops, and if he wanted to strengthen himself, he had to expand the army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Many of the soldiers of the 5th Battalion of the Revolution are elite soldiers who have experienced many battles, and it is a pity to destroy them and let them go, and it is a scourge for them to defect to other rogues, and the best way is to surrender them and organize a new loyal and brave team.

And if you want to collect the soldiers of the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution, you must subdue the old Hui and other five people.

And the best way to subdue people's hearts is to use their power, induce them to benefit, and then let them understand the benefits of following themselves, so that even if they can't subdue all five people such as Lao Huihui, at least the other four people are sure. Because in history, the other four voted for Li Zicheng after Lao Huihui's death, and since they can vote for Li Zicheng, they will also vote for themselves.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guohua decided to go to the prison in a few days to see Lao Huihui and the other five people.

In the line of Wuchang Fucheng, Xiong Wencan read the letter sent by Liu Xiangdong, the shopkeeper of "Heshoutang" in Macheng County, about the capture of all five people from the fifth battalion of Gezuo, and said excitedly: "What a Zhao Guohua, he was able to capture all five people, once this news spreads, it will make the rogue frightened, hahahaha......"

"Congratulations to the marshal, it's just that although Lao Huihui and the other five people have been captured, but their hundreds of thousands of horses are still outside, how should these people be handled? Is it encirclement or appeasement? Liu Wencai asked happily.

Listening to his question, Xiong Wencan twisted his beard and paced and groaned.

After a while, he stopped and said with a smile: "Lao Huihui and the other five people were all captured by Zhao Guohua, presumably he will not turn a blind eye to the tens of thousands of horses in the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, I think he will have his own way to deal with it, let's wait a few more days to see, maybe his news will come again." ”

After saying this, he paused, twisted his beard and smiled with relief: "Once the fifth battalion of the left side of the revolution is destroyed, in the Jianghuai area, Zhang Xianzhong will be alone, so that our army can concentrate its forces to deal with Zhang Xianzhong, and if Zhang Xianzhong is destroyed, the other rogues will be easy to deal with......"

"What the marshal said is that now it depends on how Zhao Guohua handles the men and horses of the Fifth Battalion of the Left." Liu Wencai said.

In Yang Degui's mansion in Yongxin County, Yang Degui and Yang Fu's master and servant were discussing how to swallow up Zhao Guohua's chemical workshop, Yang Fu said: "Master, that Zhao Manzi has rebelled against the imperial court for several months, but his chemical workshop is still producing soap and shampoo, and continues to make money for him, and he has not seen the official army come to investigate, has the governor of Xiong forgotten about this?" ”

"Maybe Governor Bear is too busy with the war to take care of this." Yang Degui comforted himself and said. Although he was also doubting in his heart, he couldn't think of any other reason, so he could only guess for the time being.

"Watching his chemical workshop pull out the goods pulled in every day, I get angry, but I can't help it, this dog thing, there are a thousand people left in Mingfeng Village, and we can't move it at all." Yang Fu said with a sad face.

Looking at the depressed Yang Fu, Yang Degui said: "Forget it, let them be proud for a while, and after Zhao Guohua is surrounded and exterminated by the official army, these people will disperse, and when the time comes, our Yang family will come forward and gather the craftsmen in the chemical workshop, and the chemical workshop will not become my family." ”

"Master, you're still smart. I listen to you. Yang Fu said.

Zhao Guohua took Cheng Chong, Niu Huan, Liu Youtian and others to the prison, entered the prison gate, passed through four consecutive right-angled, five-door corridors, entered the outer prison, and then walked through a narrow corridor about one meter wide, and passed several doors, and then came to the door of the cell where Lao Huihui and other five people were held, and the two sides looked at each other through the iron pillar door.

After a while, Ge Li Yan He Yilong couldn't help it, and he scolded: "Zhao Guohua, I fuck your ancestor, you despicable villain, what do you mean by locking the five of us here, not killing or letting go?" ”

"Yes, what do you want to achieve by doing this?" said Zuo Jin Wang He Jin.

"Zhao Guohua, although I don't like you, but the soldiers are not tired of cheating, but I admire you very much, because you have done many things that the Ming civil and military ministers have not done, you give us a clear answer, what do you want to do with us? Is it to be beheaded on the spot or handed over to the Ming court for us to cut with a thousand knives? Liu Xiyao, the king of the world, said holding on to the iron bar of the prison door.

Lao Huihui looked at Zhao Guohua silently and didn't speak.

After looking at them for a while, Zhao Guohua said slowly: "Why do you want to rebel? ”

"Why should we rebel? Hahahaha, this question is so funny, of course it's for food, for clothing, if we didn't rebel, we would have starved to death......" Ge Li said sarcastically.

Lin Chengcheng, the king of the world, said: "Whoever has food and clothing will walk this road......"

Lao Huihui and the other three squinted their eyes and looked at Zhao Guohua silently, guessing in their hearts the purpose of his question.

After listening to the words of the two, Zhao Guohua nodded and said: "What you said is right, but, since the first year of Chongzhen, you began to rebel until now, it has been ten years, a few of you are mixed with food and clothing, but with your rebels, how many people have food and clothing, that is, in your fifth battalion of the left of the revolution, except for a small number of officers, how many other soldiers can be fed and clothed?" ”

Zuojin Wang He Jin pouted and said: "Our army has limited food, of course, we must first give priority to ensuring that the officers are well fed, which is not surprising. ”

"No, you're wrong, officers are people, soldiers are people, officers drink wine and eat meat, soldiers drink porridge, and they can't even drink porridge, officers and soldiers can't share weal and blight, such a team can't become a whole, it's okay for such an army to fight a tailwind war, once it encounters defeat, it will be the consequence of the tree falling and the monkey scattering." Zhao Guohua retorted.

Hearing this, Lao Huihui and the other five stopped talking, thinking about the right and wrong of this remark.

Seeing that the five of them were silent, Zhao Guohua said again: "Several of them are heroes in the world, and they have a very good set of fighting with soldiers, I admire you, but please think about it, since the first year of Chongzhen in 1628 to the present, you have gone from Ganshan to Jianghuai, and fought in more than a dozen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, why are you still being chased and beaten by the official army?" ”

"What's strange about that, the officers and soldiers are well equipped and have a large number of people, of course we can't beat them," said Liu Xiyao, the ruling king.

After looking at Lao Huihui and others, Zhao Guohua said: "This is only a superficial reason, the real reason is that your army has no cohesion, you can't be the same officers and soldiers, share weal and woe, your army has no faith, no program, no base, and no own organizational structure. ”

These unfamiliar terms, listening to the old Hui Hui and others were stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but ask: Faith? "Base? A plan of action? What do these things mean? ”

Seeing that Lao Huihui finally spoke, Zhao Guohua was overjoyed, and he explained quietly: "Faith is the persistence and trust in one thing that will never change, the base area is the armed secession area where you can rest, fight, and replenish the soldiers, you can set up officials there to collect grain and taxes, but you must also protect the property and lives of the people there, and the program of action is the purpose of the rebellion and the means to achieve this goal." ”

After listening to what Zhao Guohua said, Lao Hui sighed back, looked at Zhao Guohua and said: "It seems that you know a lot, the five of us were captured by you, and we are indeed not wronged, but I am a little strange, why do you want to help the Ming Dynasty to deal with us, don't you know that the Ming Dynasty is hopeless?" ”

Zhao Guohua didn't answer him immediately, but was silent for a while, and then said: "Let me ask you a question, if a robber breaks into your house, bullies your parents, and smashes your family's things, are you going to be a son to help the robbers or help your parents?" ”

"Of course, it's to help my parents. Whoever is kicked in the head by a donkey will go to help the robbers," He Yilong said loudly.

"Good. That's a good point. Zhao Guohua said.

Then, he asked: "Then are you the people of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Hearing this, Zuojin Wang He Jin was stunned for a moment, and said without hesitation: "Of course we are the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Nodding his head and looking at these people, Zhao Guohua said: "Since you admit that you are the people of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to your parents, and the Tartars are a group of robbers who came into the house, and the court is sending troops to resist the invasion of the Tartars, but you are fighting with the court officials and soldiers, isn't this equivalent to helping the robbers bully your parents?" ”

Hearing this, Lao Huihui and the others stopped talking. After a while, Liu Xiyao, the king of the ruling world, said unconvinced: "We can't be blamed for this, we were also forced, and we really couldn't live anymore, so we rebelled." ”

"The officials forced the people to rebel, I know that each of you rebelled for a reason, but this is just a family feud, the Tartars slaughtered millions of my compatriots in Liaodong, and those who lived secretly became the slaves of the Tartars, and then the Tartars have repeatedly entered the customs to invade the Ming Dynasty, and the corpses are everywhere they go, the bones are linlin, countless families and wives are scattered, the families are broken, and dozens of large and small towns have become ghost domains, and the Tartars have committed heinous crimes against my Ming Dynasty, which is a national hatred. Only when there is a country can there be a family, family feud and national hatred, who is light and who is heavy, please think about it carefully. Zhao Guohua said in a heavy tone.

He Yilong said: "What do you say to us? We didn't bring in the tartars. ”
