A.D. 1644, the seventeenth year of Ming Chongzhen, the first month.

Mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to rebuild the beautiful city of Xi'an, at this time, full of brilliant atmosphere, the whole city is very lively.

Today, Li Zicheng officially announced to the world, the establishment of the Great Shun State, to the Western Xia Li Jiqian as the Taizu, changed the Yuan Yongchang, and changed Xi'an to Chang'an, Li Zicheng changed his name to Sheng, called the new Shun King.

At the same time, Li Zicheng was a great meritorious hero, in addition to the bachelor according to the Ming system, and the officials of the six military governments, he also awarded nine marquis, seventy-two earls, thirty viscounts, and fifty-five barons.

For a while, the world shook, and Li Zicheng and the army further weakened the already crumbling rule of the Ming Dynasty, so that the world, which was barely able to maintain, fell into disintegration.

Sitting on the high dragon chair, looking at the civil and military officials wearing various Dashun court uniforms below, Li Zicheng was excited at this time, from a grass-like post guard, a prisoner waiting to be killed, to now have more than 600,000 horse troops, more than 400,000 infantry troops, a veritable million army, it can be said that he has reached the peak of his life, but he is not satisfied in his heart, because, with such strength, he has the ability to take a step closer, that is, to attack Beijing City and completely overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

Whenever he thought of attacking Beijing City and overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, the 30,000 miles of flowers and rivers would be in his hands, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable impulse in his heart.

Therefore, in order to realize that dream as soon as possible, in yesterday's deliberations, he categorically rejected the proposal of Song Xiance and others to take Xi'an as the center, develop steadily, and have a successful foundation, and carry out the Northern Expedition, but could not wait to announce that he would do his best to raise a million army in the near future, go all out to the east, and strive to complete his work in one battle, overthrow the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, and thus pacify the world.

Just when Li Zicheng and most of the officials of the Dashun regime were full of joy, there was no smile on the faces of several people, and such a strange situation made them seem a little out of place in such an atmosphere.

"Hey, military advisor, the king is now more and more unable to listen to my advice, so he leads the troops to the east regardless of it, if there is an accident, the consequences are simply unimaginable!" According to the distribution of rights of the Dashun regime, the general is second only to General Quan, and he can be regarded as the No. 3 person in the army except Li Zicheng and General Liu Zongmin.

Hearing Li Yan's words, Song Xiance, the military advisor beside him, also sighed and said, "Brother Li, it's better to say less in the future, the king is already jealous of you, and with Niu Jinxing stirring up trouble in the middle, the king has already been dissatisfied with you."

You must know that the current king is no longer the king who has just come out of Shangluo Mountain, and he can't even eat enough food, he is now in an army of millions, owns most of the northern places, and has opened a generation of emperors, if you are still so disproportionate, you will definitely cause trouble for yourself in the future, you are also familiar with history books, those who can fight well in history, a few of them died in the hands of the enemy! ”

How could Li Yan not understand Song Xiance's words, but he was born with a good and straightforward temperament, and said sharply, "But, I just can't get used to it, the army can have today, but the brothers have gone through countless difficulties to build it, how can I bear to watch such a good foundation be destroyed in one day."

This time the king wants to raise a million army to carry out the eastward crusade, although there is a great chance to be able to directly smash the Yellow Dragon, break through Beijing, and overthrow the Ming Dynasty, but that is only another certain opportunity, if there is any change in the middle, what will happen to us, will it be by virtue of those Ming officials who have taken refuge in us to be loyal to us, it is a joke, they can take refuge in us today, and they will be able to refuge in others tomorrow.

You know, although the Ming Dynasty is now crumbling and looks like he will fall down as soon as he pushes it, after all, he has been established for nearly three hundred years, and among the people of the world, he is orthodox, who can guarantee that during our Northern Expedition, nothing will happen.

You know, from the king from Shangluo Mountain to now, it is only a short period of less than five years, although now our Dashun army is infinite scenery and strength, but it is just a palace built on the sand, if there is no accident, it is okay, as long as it encounters strong winds and waves, then the entire palace will collapse.

However, the king just didn't listen to my advice, and waited a little longer, until we had laid a solid foundation and sent troops to the Northern Expedition. ”

Li Yan's words made Song Xiance also sigh with emotion, but he couldn't do anything, you know, although his status within the army seems to be quite high, but it is just a bodhisattva in the temple, and it is useless, if you really want to talk about this kind of military affairs, he can't intervene at all

Outside Yulin City, in the wide barracks, Shi Lei stood on the high platform as always, looking at the soldiers who were training hard below, which has become his daily business, every day from morning to night, he will stay here most of the time, and will put forward some suggestions from time to time, so as to make the training of the soldiers more effective, and, in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, he also put the plan of military exercise on the agenda, not only let the infantry and infantry fight directly, but more importantly, He also pit these soldiers against the Chitu cavalry.

Because, he knew that in the future battlefield, these soldiers would sooner or later encounter the Manchu iron cavalry, and at that time, in order to prevent them from facing the Qigbu in a panic, only early training could avoid all this.

Just when Shi Lei was looking seriously, he rode a fast horse from the gate of the camp, and then saw Tong Chenfu walking quickly to the stands.

"My lord, I just got the news that Li Chuang has established a foundation in Xi'an, not only that, but he also issued an edict denigrating the imperial court, and at the same time announced that he would lead a million-strong army to the east." Tong Chenfu gasped and said.

After Shi Lei came back from Shanxi to rob grain, he handed over all political affairs to Jia Hanqing, and handed over the military affairs to Tong Chenfu to be responsible.

Hearing Tong Chenfu's words, Shi Lei's eyes didn't roll, but he just said, "It's going to rain in the sky, my mother is going to get married, let him go, this kind of thing, it's not yet that we can get involved, the most important thing for us now is to increase our strength at all costs, so that we can make our voices heard at a critical time." ”

Regarding Shi Lei's reaction, Tong Chenfu nodded, before he came, he had already thought that Shi Lei would be such a reaction, as he got deeper and deeper contact with Shi Lei, he found that Shi Lei is a person who pays attention to practical interests, and he never does more than half a point for things that are not beneficial, and there is no such atmosphere as a scholar should have.

What makes Tong Chenfu feel confused is that although Shi Lei attaches importance to actual interests, he has his own strict bottom line in some major rights and wrongs, and even for this bottom line, he will do some things that make people feel very incredible, but it is this contradictory character that makes Tong Chenfu feel even more incomprehensible and incomprehensible to Shi Lei, so he has always maintained respect and fear in his heart.

"My lord, although Li Chuang entered Beijing, it has nothing to do with us, but his subordinates are sure that before he goes to the Northern Expedition, he will completely pacify the surrounding forces, according to the news from the nightingale, before this, he has sent a large army, and at the same time launched an attack on Ningxia Town, Yan'an Mansion and other places, and if we are not prepared, maybe the next target of the invasion army will be us." Tong Chenfu said.

As soon as Tong Chenfu's words were finished, Shi Lei turned his head and said lightly, "Don't worry, there is Niu Dilu's baby in our hands, we are still relatively safe, if you can, let him write a letter to Niu Jinxing, tell him that as long as we can prevent the Chuang army from attacking us, after Li Chuang's expedition, we will definitely return his precious son to him safely." Shi Lei said.

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Tong Chenfu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said, "My lord, although we have Niu Lu in our hands, Niu Jinxing is not Li Chuang after all, if Li Chuang insists on destroying us, it is estimated that Niu Jinxing will not be able to do anything." “

Hearing this, Shi Lei turned his head to the soldier in the school yard who shouted loudly, and at the same time asked, "Mr. Tong, look at these soldiers." ”

Although Tong Chenfu couldn't react in the face of Shi Lei's sudden questioning, he still nodded and said, "Brave and brave, brave and good at fighting, it is an elite division that is rare in the world." ”

"Hahaha, Mr. really praised them too much, brave is brave, but still lacks a ruthlessness, a bad spirit, an army that has never seen blood is never a good army, so, if Li Chuang really dares to come, I will let him see what is called a hard stone, and at the same time, he can also hone and hone these recruits, let them see blood, and when they fight a big battle in the future, they will be at a loss." Shi Lei said with a smile.

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Tong Chenfu stopped talking, if it was before, Shi Lei dared to say such a thing, he would definitely think that he was crazy, only more than 10,000 recruits, actually dared to say such a big thing, but when Shi Lei came back from Shanxi to rob grain, his understanding completely changed.

Not to mention anything else, with Shi Lei with more than 2,000 recruits, he actually completely annihilated more than 600 Manchu elites, this kind of thing that ordinary people can't even think of, he can do it, not to mention just a wandering army, besides, although Li Chuang has a lot of troops, but how many people will he send to Yulin, I'm afraid, when the time comes, I don't know who will become the second Hao Shaoqi! Tong Chenfu thought secretly.
