Of course, Yu Guozhen's original proposal for that condition was sincere.

At this time, people of insight in China have begun to have a global vision, such as Gu Xiancheng, the former leader of the Donglin Party, no matter how Yu Guozhen does not want to see Donglin characters now, but what he wrote at the beginning "Family affairs, national affairs, everything in the world cares", has indeed realized that the world is by no means a Ming Dynasty.

As a traverser, Yu Guozhen naturally has a global vision that is better than Gu Xiancheng's, and can look at problems from a higher strategic height.

Although most of the vast territory under the control of Turpan is the inaccessible Gobi Desert, it is of great significance to Yu Guozhen's control of Central Asia.

But Yu Guozhen is almost ignorant of this area at present, and he needs a large number of Han people to enter this area, not only to explore, but also to scout.

In Yu Guozhen's view, if Li Zicheng chooses to take his Dashun westward, invade Yili Li, which was once a subject of the Ming Dynasty, expel the power of worshipping the Chinese ancestors, restore the control of the Western Regions during the Han and Tang dynasties, and even go further on this basis and vigorously promote the policy of sinicization in this area. Then, it can barely withstand the sins committed by Li Zicheng against the Chinese nation, and Yu Guozhen will not be stingy with the courtesy he deserves after he enters the Central Plains in the future.

But it's a pity that Li Zicheng didn't take this path, but chose to confront him.

Now that Li Yan has put forward this condition again, Yu Guozhen pondered for a while. After taking control of Shandong'dong and Liangguang, the population in his hands was sufficient, and for at least three years, there was no need to absorb the population on a large scale. Therefore, these tens of thousands of soldiers do not mean much to him.

But hand them over to Li Yan...... There are risks behind it.

Yu Guozhen didn't want to base his plan on his personal trust in Li Yan, these tens of thousands of troops were in the hands of Li Yan, if he was the enemy of the Tiger Guard, although Yu Guozhen was convinced that he could easily crush them to the explosion, but if it caused the loss of the Tiger Guard's personnel, it would be too uneconomical.

"How can I trust you?" Yu Guozhen said: "Do you know that you are going to the Western Regions." What to expect? Extreme climate, thirst, hunger, lost, mirages, wolves...... And the crazy and fanatical enemies. Can you hold on? ”

"I can't hold on, I have to hold on, I have to ...... Find a life for your brothers. Li Yan said bitterly.

With what Li Zicheng has done in the past two years, and what he has done in the past two years. In particular, this time he insisted on attacking Shandong's east despite the warning, according to the rules of this era. Yu Guozhen slaughtered the army in retaliation. No one will blame him either.

His words made Yu Guozhen believe most of him.

"How are you going to hold on?" Yu Guozhen asked.

"Take one step at a time, no matter what the enemy is, it will never be better than the Tiger Guard...... More terrifying. Li Yan said.

"In this case, it is no different from me executing all the intruders." Yu Guozhen shook his head, hesitated slightly, and then said, "My advice to you is to give up Tianjin Wei immediately." Wave the division to the west, into the mountain 'west. Re-enter Shaanxi and operate in Shaanxi for about a year. Gather all the grain, grass and livestock, and then pass through the Hexi Corridor, take the silk road, and go to Hamiwei first. ”

"Hamiwei?" Li Yan was a little stunned, is there such a place in the Daming Guard?

"Yes, Hamiwei, Yongle set up a guard in the fourth year, and Zhengde was occupied by Turpan Khan in the ninth year, which has been abandoned for many years at this time, and there are no Han people in the city. But there are water and grass to graze here, and occupy the convenience of the ancient silk road, with this as the foundation, you divide the Mongolian tribes, and use those who are willing to be sinicized for their own use, teach them to cultivate and dig wells, teach them Chinese characters, and force westward to punish those who are not subservient. Here I give you five years. ”

"Nanhai Hou means...... In five years, your GI will be heading west? ”

Although the territory controlled by Yu Guozhen at this time is not as good as the small court in Jinling, or even as good as Li Chuang and Jianyu, but more than the territory controlled by Zhang Xianzhong, Yu Guozhen's vision is no longer limited to the domain, but to a broader world. Since he wants to play Li Yan's chess piece well, he naturally hopes that this chess piece can play a greater role, and he has to teach him some methods.

"Yes, since I control the Shaanxi Realm, I will give you five years, if you can't attack Yili (now Ili) in five years, then I will attack you - during these five years, I will give you corresponding support, mainly grain, grass and some weapons. Naturally, these are not given in vain, and you need to exchange them for the loot. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Guozhen showed Bai Sensen's teeth and smiled meaningfully: "Naturally, if you think that you have the ability to come back to the Central Plains after five years of recuperation, I don't mind hunting with you to the west of Yumen Pass." ”

Li Yan also smiled, but it was a wry smile.

Yu Guozhen only has Xinxiang and overseas places, and can still sweep the world's strong army, only 10,000 tiger guards, and break the nearly 100,000 troops trained by Li Yan. If he occupies the Shaanxi realm, it means that he controls the entire Ming Dynasty, and with his ability to govern the world, wouldn't the development speed be faster?

At that time, if you challenge Yu Guozhen again, it is better to hit the stone with an egg.

At this time, Yu Guozhen's momentum in the world was already obvious, at least within the Xinxiang system, he had begun to discuss the affairs of this matter, including the disposal of thieves such as the invasion army. It must be admitted that Yu Guozhen has gone too far before, and in the understanding of the Xinxiang system, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others are not rebels who have to rebel against the government's coercion of the people, but realize their own cruelty and greed in the name of the people's uprising. Therefore, it is generally believed in the Xinxiang system that most of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates have no possibility of reforming, and even if they are not killed, they will have to serve hard labor for life.

Yu Guozhen felt a little sorry for this, propaganda is propaganda, and it must be admitted that many of Li and Zhang's subordinates were indeed forced to embark on the road of exile. Most of the people in the world are mortals, they can only go with the flow, follow the rogues, and it is always inevitable to do some heinous bad things, but they are not masterminds, they can only be regarded as accomplices.

The mastermind himself should be put to death, and important accomplices should also be forced to labor, but what about ordinary people? Could it be that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates combined have hundreds of thousands of people, and all of them have been locked up for life?

Therefore, Yu Guozhen put forward a new point of view: why not make full use of the cruelty of these people?

For example, if Li Zicheng's troops are driven to the Western Regions, with the combat power of Li Zicheng's men, they can't make any waves in the Central Plains, but in the Western Regions, there is still the possibility of a war - anyway, they don't have to think about any governance issues, and when they encounter those people who are not convinced, they will kill and rob and drive them away!

This proposal seems a bit cruel, Yu Guozhen originally thought that it would be opposed by many voices, but what he did not expect was that it was supported by the vast majority of people, even including old bureaucrats such as Fang and Zhang.

But Li Zicheng rejected Yu Guozhen's idea, and now it is Yu Guozhen's temporary decision to replace Li Yan to do this.

"There's only one obstacle right now." Yu Guozhen smiled.

Li Yan was silent, he knew in his heart that the obstacle in Yu Guozhen's mouth was Li Ziyuan.

"Therefore, the captured army can only ......"

Speaking of this, Yu Guozhen suddenly saw Tian Boguang coming with a happy face, and looked at him hard, Yu Guozhen raised his chin: "What's the matter, let's talk about it directly." ”

"Li Zicheng is dead!" Tian Boguang said: "On the way to escape, he was separated from his subordinates, alone in the wild, met more than ten farmers, and was recognized. These peasants were the victims of the Yellow River embankment collapse who had returned from our hands, hated them to the core, captured them alive, beat them to vent their anger, and accidentally killed them. ”

What Tian Boguang said was not entirely true, in fact, those people who captured Li Zicheng, after searching for his Dashun Emperor seal and all kinds of evidence from Li Zicheng, and proving that it was Li Zicheng who was indeed caught, thought that it was too difficult to take a living person to walk one or two hundred miles to dedicate to Yu Guozhen, so it was better to send a head, so they killed Li Zicheng directly. As for such an end, Yu Guozhen knew about it, and he felt that it was too sudden.

He originally thought that Li Zicheng would be able to get out successfully this time, but he never thought that Li Zicheng would still die at the hands of a few peasants.

"What about the corpses?" After asking Ming, Yu Guozhen glanced at the frightened Li Yan, if it was true, this Li Yan could come in handy.

Yu Guozhen is not worried that Li Yan will run to integrate Li Zicheng's subordinates and make trouble with him again, firstly, because Li Yan's character lacks the heroic side, and secondly, Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing and other Li Zicheng's subordinates will not obey him at all. If Li Yan wants to unify the rest of Li Zicheng's army, he first has to meet with these old comrades. If this is the case, it can only be said that they are all killing themselves.

"The first performance was sent to Yanggu, and the Yanggu battalion sent the first achievement, and at the same time, someone has been sent to look for the corpse in the starry night." Tian Boguang glanced at Li Yan: "The first achievement is outside the camp." ”

"Take, bring it to me, Nanhai Hou, please let me see!" Li Yan said with a crying voice.

He placed a deep emotion on Li Zicheng, although he knew that Li Zicheng could not compete with Yu Guozhen, but he always hoped that he could get a good death. But the death in the hands of a few peasants was like a ruthless hammer, which shattered Li Yan's dream.

This made him even give up his self-esteem.

"Let it be presented." Yu Guozhen also wanted to see him, and at the same time, Li Yan confirmed whether the deceased was Li Zicheng.

After a while, the wooden box containing the head was brought over, and Li Yan almost snatched it into his hand, and then cried bitterly.

No matter how cold Li Zicheng is, alienated and even suspicious and suspicious of him, he has always treated Li Zicheng with loyalty. When Yu Guozhen saw this scene, he suddenly felt a little ridiculous, in the legend, Li Zicheng later killed him under the pretext of killing him.

"Nanhai Hou, please return the remains of King Chuang to me, I ...... Only the knot of grass ring, the third world to report! ”

After crying bitterly, Li Yan bowed to Yu Guozhen again.

Yu Guozhen shook his head and said with a slight smile: "Although Li Chuang is dead, the matter is not over, if the remains are given to you, there will be follow-up troubles, you don't want someone to make trouble in the name of Li Chuang in the future, after all, the result of that kind of life is only a dead end." ”

Li Yan could hear this, so he could only cry again. The moment Li Zicheng rejected Yu Guozhen's proposal, he knew that there would be such a day, but when this day came, he still felt that it came too quickly and too suddenly.

But let him hate Yu Guozhen, but he couldn't hate it. Li Zicheng...... In fact, he is asking for his own death. (To be continued)
