322 Beyond your means
"My lord, I'm afraid this matter is up to you to decide, they quarrel back and forth like this, and they can't solve the problem at all, not only can't solve the problem, but even maybe, if the delay is too long, I'm afraid it will attract the suspicion of the Shaanxi court, and in the end, if that's the case, I'm afraid it's really going to be the general trend." Seeing that everyone in the hall was arguing with each other, and did not show weakness, one of the several people who were at the top spoke.
Hearing this person's words, others immediately fell on a thin old man, and saw that the old man's face was full of wrinkles, his back was already up, and he coughed a few times from time to time, and his eyes were also confused, so that people didn't know whether he was asleep or awake, but it was such an old man who looked like he was going to die at any time, but he was now the actual ruler of thousands of miles of fertile land in Sichuan, Gan Liangchen, when Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army entered Sichuan strongly, and many Ming troops and local forces were beaten and fled, he was unanimously elected as the president. Commanding the land of Sichuan, all the soldiers and civilians unanimously opposed Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army.
It was also under his leadership that the original group of rabble, and even the resistance forces that were about to be completely wiped out by the Great Western Army, re-ignited, and even became more and more intense, and now, they were able to compete with the Great Western Army without showing weakness, and even if it wasn't for Zhang Xianzhong's wisdom, maybe after a period of time, they would be able to fight back and defeat the Great Western Army in one fell swoop. But most people are like this, in the past few years, although Gan Liangchen is already in his fifties, but his body is the same as that of a middle-aged person, but in just a few years, he has become so old, after people see it, they feel a pain in their hearts, especially when he got that Zhang Xianzhong was going to leave Sichuan with the Great Western Army and go south to Yunnan, overnight he seemed to be dozens of years old, and became like this, of course, no matter how he changed, no one dared to underestimate him.
With such a great merit on his body, Gan Liangchen's status in Sichuan is conceivable, of course, in addition to prestige, the reason why he can have such a strong appeal is also his strength, the famous fierce general Zeng Ying, is his deputy general, and Li Zhanchun and other original Ming army generals have listened to orders under him, with such a group of tiger and wolf generals, who can not be afraid, who dares not to obey his orders.
"Cough cough, cough cough, let the old man decide, I'm afraid the old man really decides, some people will be unhappy, forget it, since you are old, just spend the rest of your life in peace, and now drive Zhang Xianzhong out of the land of Sichuan, the old man can also return to the countryside with complete peace of mind, as for what you want to do, the old man can't control it in the future, but, before leaving, the old man wants to warn you, no matter what, we were all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the court and the emperor did not say high grace and righteousness to us, Even if we can't keep the festival for Daming, we shouldn't do anything unfavorable to Daming, otherwise, even if we can gain momentum for a while, it is also the tail of a rabbit, and it can't be done for a long time. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Gan Liangchen coughed and said slowly, unlike the imminent appearance just now, when he spoke, an invisible momentum appeared on him, not to mention ordinary officials, even Zeng Ying and Li Zhanchun, these murderous generals, also felt a trace of cold aura on their bodies, which made them feel uncomfortable unconsciously.
"Hahahaha, where does the boss say, you are our backbone, who dares not to listen to you, but my lord, there are some things that need to be carefully discussed, such as now, where Shaanxi, it is said that it is the Ming Dynasty, but it is not the world of Shi Lei's kid, according to the news that the last general inquired, I heard that no matter what the emperor does every day, there are people around him, and he doesn't even dare to say anything, to this kind of place, how can we easily take refuge in them, if where is really my Ming Emperor in power, I, Li Zhanchun, have nothing else to say, and immediately lead the troops to return north, but Shi Lei is such a kid, what qualifications does he have to convince us.
What's more, when we were fighting with Zhang Xianzhong, they didn't help, and now when Zhang Xianzhong is gone, they want to pick peaches again, how can there be such a good thing in the world, anyway, they are so unclear and obedient to Shaanxi, I don't understand. After listening to Gan Liangchen's words, the nearest middle-aged man next to him, Li Zhanchun, a famous general in Sichuan, spoke.
Although Li Zhanchun said it more tactfully, both Gan Liangchen and the surrounding people understood in their hearts that what Li Zhanchun wanted to express in his words was that he did not want to take refuge in the Shaanxi Imperial Court, and even if he really wanted to take refuge in the Shaanxi Imperial Court, he would have to get enough benefits. For Li Zhanchun's meaning, most of the many leaders who are doing it agree in their hearts, after all, no matter who they are, they have finally laid down the country, but they have to give it to others, as long as it is personal, it will not be comfortable, but everyone supports it, but they all secretly support it in their hearts, and no one comes out to echo Li Zhanchun, after all, what is being done now is still Gan Liangchen is the biggest, Li Zhanchun may not be afraid of Gan Liangchen, but the people of the following small forces are still more afraid of Gan Liangchen.
Hearing Li Zhanchun's words, Gan Liangchen was also clear in his heart, although so, he couldn't blame Li Zhanchun, not to mention that Li Zhanchun represented the interests of most of the people present, even from his own point of view, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he would not accuse Li Zhanchun, because now he is no longer the same as he was a few years ago, in these years of conquest, he has been thinking about how much if he resists Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army, his body has been completely exhausted.
And with his weakness, Li Zhanchun and others in these battles, rapid growth, the same they grew not only combat ability, but also their own strength, in the confrontation with the Great Western Army, Li Zhanchun and others used this time, quickly recruited troops, and at the same time expanded the territory, and in the period when Zhang Xianzhong left Sichuan, it was even more unscrupulous to occupy the territory, only the famous city in Sichuan, he occupied a few, under the elite soldiers, nearly 50,000 people, worthy of the name of Sichuan's first hero, Even if it weren't for Gan Liangchen's reputation, I'm afraid Li Zhanchun would have already occupied this Chongqing Mansion.
Gan Liangchen is not the kind of foolish and loyal person who does not know the current affairs, although he still hopes that everyone can submit to the Shaanxi court, but since Li Zhanchun and most people are opposed, he will not make a tough decision, after all, if he really angers Li Zhanchun and others because of this, and kills him directly, wouldn't he die unjustly, besides, in Gan Liangchen's heart, he still attaches great importance to the Shaanxi court, just from being able to subdue Zhang Xianzhong, it can be seen that the Shi Lei child of the Shaanxi court must be a figure who turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands for rain, He doesn't think that under the hands of this kind of character, a little Li Zhanchun can toss up any tricks, the ownership of the land of Sichuan has been very clear, and it is certain that it will fall into the hands of the Shaanxi court, no matter who tries to stop this kind of thing, then the fate waiting for him is conceivable, Gan Liangchen's persuasion this time is just to give these people one last chance, since they have given up on their own, he has nothing to say, after all, the road is all walked by yourself, and others can't help you how to go except for advice.
Seeing that Li Zhanchun and the others had already made up their minds to go their own way, Gan Liangchen had no need to stay here, so after summoning everyone, he left because he was unwell.
As soon as Gan Liangchen walked out of the door, he heard that the originally quiet room became lively again, and at the same time, there was laughter and laughter inside, because now those leaders who still yearn for the Ming Dynasty are following behind Gan Liangchen, and there are already those who have other ideas left in the room.
"My lord, is it just like this, what is he Li Zhanchun, he was not a pawn by your side back then, but now that he has the capital, he dares to be so arrogant, if he meets him another day, his subordinates will definitely make him look good." Hearing the laughter coming from the house, Gan Liangchen didn't say anything, but the sturdy man next to him who was holding his arm couldn't help but say angrily. In the house just now, the person who persuaded Gan Liangchen to make a decision is also him, this person is the most famous general in Sichuan, Zeng Ying, who used to be Gan Liangchen's horseman, after saving Gan Liangchen in several battles, he was appreciated by Gan Liangchen, so as to promote him, Zeng Ying really lived up to Gan Liangchen's expectations, he was a soldier in front of him every time he fought in a big battle, in the battle with Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army, the last thing Zhang Xianzhong and others wanted to face was Zeng Ying, wherever Zeng Ying was there, it was a forbidden area for the Great Western Army.
Although Zeng Ying is brave in battle, he lacks the ability to co-ordinate, so he cannot be a single general, but it is precisely because of this that he is loyal, jealous and hateful, and respects Gan Liangchen as a father, and the most unaccustomed thing is that someone dares not respect Gan Liangchen.
Seeing Zeng Ying's angry appearance, Gan Liangchen couldn't help laughing in his heart, and then he patted Zeng Ying's arm holding him, and then said, "Okay, silly boy, what's the matter at this point, do you really think that the old man will be angry with these jumping clowns, the old man is just sad for them, they are all dying, and they are still so ignorant, I really don't know if it's their luck or misfortune!" ”
Hearing Gan Liangchen's words, Zeng Ying was just stunned, but the two people behind him immediately asked, "Dare to ask the boss, I don't know how they died, is there something else that we don't know about to happen?" If so, please ask the elders to give advice, and the younger generations will listen to them. The two people who spoke were brothers, the elder brother was called Ma Jing, and the younger brother was called Ma Ting, unlike others, they were not Han Chinese, but Hui, because after nearly a hundred years of Mongolian rule, the Ming Dynasty for ethnic minorities, that is, the Yuan Dynasty's Semu people were not as strict as in the Tang and Song dynasties, resulting in many outstanding figures in the ethnic minorities on the stage of history.
Because of their identity, although the strength of the Ma brothers is not the strongest in Sichuan, but because their subordinates are all young and strong of their own clan, the cohesion is very strong, and the combat effectiveness is also strong, so that it is a special force in Sichuan.
Gan Liangchen heard the question of the Ma family brothers behind him, and did not speak immediately, but first glanced at them with encouraging eyes, and after admiring them for such a shrewd choice this time, he said, "There is nothing special happening, the reason why the old man said that they are going to die is because they are all people who can't see the situation clearly and are short-sighted, although they seem to have a certain benefit now, but in the future, they will find that their current choice is simply a big mistake, Now their choice is to dig our graves, and when the graves are dug, it will be their time of death. ”
Hearing Gan Liangchen's words, the Ma family brothers felt even more frightened in their hearts, they admired Gan Liangchen and their brothers very much, and they also knew that this old man looked like he was about to die, but whether it was experience or experience, it was very rich, and what he said must have a certain truth.
"Boss, please forgive the younger generation for being stupid, the old man's words are a little vague, and please ask the old man to speak directly, so that the younger generation can also know it." Ma Jing walked two steps to Gan Liangchen, hugged his fists and saluted.
"That's it, for the sake of your trust in the old man so much, the old man will tell you plainly, do you all think that the reason why Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army left Sichuan is because of our credit." Gan Liangchen asked.
Hearing Gan Liangchen's question, the Ma family brothers immediately nodded, it should be.
"Wrong, and it's a big mistake, Zhang Xianzhong and the Great Western Army left Sichuan, although it has something to do with us, but the relationship is not big, to put it mildly, people don't look at us at all, if it weren't for Zhang Xianzhong's jealousy of the Shaanxi Imperial Court in their hearts, so they didn't dare to let go of their hands and feet to deal with us, I'm afraid that now we are already the unjust ghosts in the Hades Palace, how can we sit here and talk about it.
In addition, the reason why the old man said that they were dying is also for a reason, you think about it, Zhang Xianzhong and hundreds of thousands of Western troops are not powerful, but they are such powerful characters, and they are not defeated in Hanzhong City, if it is said that the battle in Hanzhong, it was the Shaanxi Ming Army that used a strategy, but this time they subdued Zhang Xianzhong and forced Zhang Xianzhong to change his course, so you still don't understand the strength of the Shaanxi court, who is Zhang Xianzhong, it is a demon like a tiger and wolf, but even if it is this kind of demon, in the face of Shi Lei, you have to bow your head and admit defeat, Do you think you are his opponent, why do people go to great lengths to let Zhang Xianzhong go south to Yunnan, in order not to get the land of Sichuan, but with such an obvious purpose, some people still don't understand, they have to think that this is their own ability, and want to stand on their own, they don't look at it, they don't have this life, saying that they are light if they don't measure their own strength, the old man dares to bet with you, if nothing else, they will soon regret what they did today. Gan Liangchen said with a hideous smile on his face.
