"Ge Liyan, you said that these things have nothing to do with you, then let me ask you, if there is no Tartar invasion, and hundreds of thousands of border troops in the imperial court are transferred to deal with you, can your Fifth Battalion of Gezuo survive, can you stop the tens of thousands of cavalry of Guanning Iron Cavalry?" Zhao Guohua asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hmm...... This...... This can't be stopped......" He Yilong said with his head down.

"That's a good point," Zhao said.

Sighing, Zhao Guohua said: "The Ming Dynasty is currently in internal and external difficulties, the north has been in drought for many years, tens of millions of people are hungry, the day is not safe, living on the death line, the Tartars in the north enter and leave the Ming Dynasty at will, and slaughter the people of the Ming Dynasty at will, while you are fighting around in the Ming Dynasty to sabotage, and if this continues, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed by the Tartars, for the Ming Dynasty, for the people of the Ming Dynasty." That's the only reason I'm helping the court deal with you. ”

"The Ming Dynasty is not dead in the hands of the Tartars, what does it have to do with us?" Zuo Jin Wang He Jin said loudly unconvinced.

After a pause, Zhao Guohua continued: "You must be safe outside, your existence has dragged down the army of the imperial court and directly helped the Tartars, because a large number of border troops have been transferred to fight with you, resulting in the weakness of the border air defense, which has led to the many entry of the Tartars, and the reason why the Tartars have entered the customs many times is to weaken the Ming Dynasty, and when the Ming Dynasty has no power to resist, it will be the day when the Tartars enter the Central Plains, and at that time, all the people of the Ming Dynasty will become the slaves of the Tartars, do you know the misery and cheapness of being a Tartar slave? Not only do each of you have to kneel before the Tartars with an ugly rat's tail on their heads, and call themselves slaves, but if the Tartars have a crush on your wives and daughters, they have to send them to the Tartars to spoil them. ”

"Fart, old men, how can you be a slave of the Tartars...... He Jin said angrily.

"Well, that's a good point, but when the Ming Dynasty no longer exists, no matter how great your Zuojin King He Jin's ability is, it is difficult to support it alone, if you want to avoid this tragedy, the only way is for the Ming Dynasty to level the internal strife and concentrate all your efforts on the outside, this is the only reason why I help the Ming Dynasty to deal with you, I hope to take you with me to fight the Tartars, this is why I don't kill you." Zhao Guohua said in a firm tone.

Lao Huihui and the others listened to what Zhao Guohua said, and their hearts were also touched, and they themselves could not have imagined that they would be helping the Tartars to invade the Ming Dynasty and slaughter the people of the Ming Dynasty. However, surrendering to the government and helping the officials and soldiers to fight the Tartars, his mind suddenly couldn't turn around.

So Liu Xiyao, the king of the ruling world, said: "The surname is Zhao, how do you know that it must be a Tartar who will sit in the world in the future, you must know that there are also many talents in my righteous army, such as Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, Zhang Xianzhong, the eighth king and others are all heroes of the world, maybe one of them will sit in the world in the future?" ……”

Hearing this, Zhao Guohua didn't refute, but just asked: "If your righteous army faces the Guanning Iron Cavalry, can you defeat it?" Can your rebels fight with 1,000 against 10,000 officers and win again? ”

In this series of questions, the five people who asked were speechless and could not answer correctly, neither bragging nor saying that they could not.

Seeing this, Zhao Guohua continued: "I know you can't do it, but what I said, the Tartars have done it, as for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong you said, they only have the ability to command the army, but they have no talent to govern the country, and the quality and ability of the two determine that they are just a destroyer, not a builder." If a few people don't agree with what I said, you can think about the way and style of these two people, and then compare it with Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and you can draw conclusions. ”

Hearing him say that the righteous army and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were so unbearable, although Ge Li Yan He Yilong was not convinced, but he couldn't refute it, so he had to stare dryly, while the others were thoughtful, looking down and thinking about what Zhao Guohua said.

Seeing that they were pondering, Zhao Guohua added fire and said: "You are all good men of my Ming Dynasty, although your rebellion is excusable, but fighting with the official army is fighting a civil war, no matter how good you fight, it is fratricidal, the interests of the country are above all else, since ancient times, the people who have left their names in history are national heroes who defend the family and the country, Wei Qing, Huo Quai, Yue Fei, Qi Jiguang, etc. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at them, and then said: "A good man should fight on the battlefield of defending the country, there is a country to have a home, Daming is our common home, and it depends on everyone to defend Daming." The fortress is the easiest to break through from the inside, and when the Tartars are eliminated, if the Ming Dynasty is still in the current situation where the people are not living and corrupt officials are everywhere, then it will be much easier for us to use the power in our hands to create a peaceful society. You are all smart people, think carefully about what I have said, and I hope that the next time you come, you will give me a satisfactory answer. After speaking, he arched his hand to a few people through the cell door and left.

Back at the county office, Zhao Guohua wrote a letter to Xiong Wencan, and after writing it, he sent someone to "Heshoutang", and asked the shopkeeper Liu Xiangdong to fly the pigeon to pass the book to Xiong Wencan.

Soon, a pigeon soared into the sky from "Tsurujudo".

"This old man, how can he become less courageous, a militia group has to pay such attention to it, it's really too difficult for him." In a small town in Gansu, Li Zicheng finished reading the letter from Lao Hui and said with a smile to Gu Junen in the house.

After listening to Li Zicheng's words, Gu Junen said: "This old Huihui is not a timid person, he will not attach importance to a militia for no reason, there must be something outstanding about the militia that deserves his attention, did the letter say the reason?" ”

"Oh, he said in the letter that this militia has more than 10,000 people, is well-trained, and has extremely strong combat power, especially equipped with an explosive projectile called "flying thunder", which is extremely powerful, and can be thrown out thirty or forty steps away by hand, and a large explode is a large piece.

Hearing this, Gu Junen asked in surprise: "What is the origin of this militia group, and where did they get that kind of flying thunder technology?" ”

Smiling, Li Zicheng said: "This militia is from Ji'an, Jiangxi, and it was originally to assist the official army in encircling and suppressing the rebel army, but Xiong Wencan's dog official heard that the leader of the militia Zhao Guohua Bo had a family fortune, so he wanted to blackmail him, so this militia was forced to rebel and seized the three county towns in the Dabie Mountains.

"So that's the case, I hope that Lao Hui can successfully incorporate that militia group, so that it will not only increase Lao Huihui's strength, but also reduce the pressure on us...... Gu Junen said with a smile.

Haha smiled, Li Zicheng said: "What the military advisor said is true, but we can't live here for a long time, the economy here is ruined, it is difficult to raise food, we have to find a new place to occupy, where does the military advisor think it is more appropriate?" ”

After listening to Li Zicheng's words, Gu Junen fought, walked to the map hanging on the wall, and looked at it carefully with a frown

After looking at it for a while, he raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Hanzhong, our army marched to Hanzhong and occupied Hanzhong Mansion, and our army's food problem was solved." ”

"Hanzhong? Yes, Hanzhong is a good place, with a large population and relatively good economic conditions, so prepare for a while, and after our army captures Qinzhou, we will march to Hanzhong. Li Zicheng said, "Tom" punched on the table.

After receiving Zhao Guohua's flying pigeon summons, Xiong Wencan read it carefully several times, and after discussing with Liu Wencai, he completely agreed with Zhao Guohua's opinion on recruiting Lao Huihui and others, and appointed him as the special envoy of Zhaofu, with full authority to handle all the affairs of the Fifth Battalion of Zhaofu Revolution.

With Xiong Wencan's authorization, Zhao Guohua came to the prison to meet Lao Huihui and others.

opened the cell door and walked in, he said with a smile: "Entrusted by Governor Xiong Wencan, I have full authority to handle all the affairs of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution, several heroes, how do you think about it, are you willing to fight the Tartars or let the descendants be the servants of the Tartars?" ”

The reason why he dared to go in alone was because he considered that Lao Huihui and the others had been shaken in their hearts, and secondly, there were dozens of soldiers of the Bayi Commando Team outside the prison door, and he was not afraid that Lao Huihui and others would take him as a hostage.

Hearing this, he looked at Zhao Guohua who was standing in front of him, and the other four people didn't speak, and looked at Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying together.

Sighing, Ma Shouying said with a painful face: "Zhao Guohua, originally we would rather die than surrender, but what you said also makes sense, there is no home without a country, for the sake of our children and grandchildren not to be slaves of the Tartars, we decided to surrender, but there are a few conditions you must agree." ”

"Good! As long as I can do it, I can promise you. Zhao Guohua said with a smile.

Glancing at him, Ma Shouying said: "Don't break us up, don't discriminate against us, don't transfer us to fight other rebels, we only fight Tartars, and finally, you have to ensure that all the soldiers and their families of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution can be fed and clothed." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Guohua said: "I can guarantee the second and third, but the first one is difficult to do?" ”

"Why is it so difficult? Do you want to break us up? Gerry said with angry eyes.

"That's not what I meant, Brother He, you misunderstood." Zhao Guohua said kindly.

Glancing at him, Ma Shouying said, "That's not what you mean, then what do you mean?" ”

Zhao Guohua said: "You have seen my loyal team, and the treatment is not bad, although I want to integrate all the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Left Battalion, but my ability is limited, so I can only select 20,000 people from the Fifth Battalion of the Left Battalion to enrich my team, and the rest of the people can only be used as a logistics force, responsible for raising cattle and sheep, sheep and chickens, raising fish, growing vegetables and growing grain, and providing meat and grain for the combat troops. The salary of the logistics unit is half that of the combat unit, that is to say, they can get six pieces of silver every month, and they are also paid four sets of clothes every spring, summer, autumn and winter. ”

"The soldiers of the logistics unit can get a military salary of six cents of silver a month, and they are also issued four sets of clothes every spring, summer, autumn and winter?" Liu Xiyao, the king of the ruling world, said in surprise.
