Xiangyang palace in the southeast of the city, rebuilt by the original Xiangyang Health Office, on the main hall, Li Zicheng sitting, he is less than forty years old, successive victories, making him more majestic in his gestures. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He was still dressed plainly, a blue arrow suit, a white felt hat, a sword hanging from his waist, and a cloak, and his clothes were quite shabby. Of course, Li Zicheng has not changed, but his subordinates have actually quietly changed.

Including the generals of the fifth battalion, the defense envoys, government officials, and general guards in various localities have gradually become corrupt in just a few months.

If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in later generations implemented egalitarianism, ordinary soldiers strictly adhered to the system, but generals at all levels, those with power in their hands, consciously or unintentionally took possession of wealth, and eventually destroyed that kind of egalitarian system.

Corruption, the possession of people's property is one, and there are also places where it is strictly forbidden for soldiers to harass the camp, such as the prohibition of killing, the prohibition of cattle killing, etc., which have also been destroyed by the local guards.

This kind of military regulation is too easy to exploit, you are forbidden to kill, can I put a charge on him of the Ming Dynasty government? Is it okay to charge him with intent to flee?

The supervision system is a very complex system, and those who do not know a single word can only kill them when they encounter such a complicated legal matter? Moreover, it is also a question of who should supervise and how to supervise it.

After all, fighting the world is different from ruling the world, and most of the defense envoys, government officials, and sub-generals under the rule of the camp are from hungry people or surrendered soldiers. These people have a lowly status, once their daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, they have power in their hands, and thousands of people are afraid of flattery. What will eventually change is difficult for anyone to say.

At present, there are still too few literati and gentry who have taken refuge in the camp and governance, and it is not enough to develop into the counties and prefectures, that is, some literati who have taken refuge in the prefecture have been appointed as defense envoys, government officials, prefecture officials, and county commanders. Needless to say, what is the nature of these demoted officials and literati, in the face of the mighty generals, captains, brigade commanders and others stationed in the same place, what do they dare to do to these warriors who hold military power?

In essence, breaking into the camp is still respected by force, the army is the backbone, and the rest of the local officials are just branches and leaves. It's a big fuss. Which side will the government favor? One more thing. It's better to have one less thing. However, no matter how good a person is, without supervised power in his hands, you can imagine what will happen.

The conflict between fighting the world and ruling the world. Quietly happening under the rule. for such cases. Li Zicheng was at a loss. In essence, he does not have the ability to govern the country, what he is best at. It is to wander, fight guerrillas, run around in the war, and survive under the encirclement and suppression of all sides.

Under the rule of change, Li Zicheng of course knows and heard, his solution is to "move", lead the soldiers to continue the war, in the danger and hardship, these problems naturally no longer exist, but also to get rid of all kinds of complicated civil affairs that make him headaches.

Like him Li Zicheng, there are very few people with civil affairs ability in the entire camp, and ninety percent of them are illiterate groups, so how can they control and guide local civil affairs?

Maybe give them dozens of acres of land, let them cultivate, and say that they are ugly, but they have to guide others, and be responsible for the livelihood settlement and development of people's livelihood and people's livelihood under the rule of 10,000, 100,000, and 1 million people, they are dumbfounded and at a loss.

Therefore, under the rule of the camp, it is now a rare situation of "ruling by inaction", and the official announcement will not urge the department, do not levy grain, and provide cattle and seeds to the poor, and the rest of the things will follow the trend, and there is no ability to go deeper.

In the end, the result of this is that the localities are not controlled, and the power in various places is infiltrated and stolen, and then the powerful sit on the throne, and the wealthy and powerful hate what kind of regime the most?

Historically, Li Zicheng was wiped out in Beijing, and the powerful and powerful under his rule rose together, and there were endless rebellions, and there was no one who was not killed by the governor and the county commander, and his huge territory was wiped out in a blink of an eye, which was also the inevitable result of the rogue regime that had no ability to govern the country.

Of course, the current situation is just in the bud, compared to the Ming Dynasty, under the rule of the camp, it can be regarded as clear, but Li Zicheng always has a sense of fear and decides to move.

At this time, the team of his Changyi Mansion was all there, Prime Minister Niu Jinxing, officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, as well as officials and other officials.

They all wore dark blue official uniforms, with square collars, clouds as the rank, and larger officials, with pheasant feathers on their crowns, which was also the first change emphasized by Niu Jinxing and others, the new regime must have a new atmosphere, at least in the official uniform, which should be different from the Ming court.

In addition to these civilian officials, there are also generals of the five battalions, such as the generals Tian Jianxiu and Liu Zongmin, the generals Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Li Guo, and Liu Xiyao, as well as Yang Shaofan, Gao Yigong, Li Yan, Song Xiance, Gu Jun, etc.

A few days ago, Li Guo and Yang Shaofan escorted Yuan Shizhong back, Li Zicheng was overjoyed, and Yuan Shizhong Lingchi was in Xiangyang City, which greatly vented the hatred in his heart, and gave Li Guo and Yang Shaofan credit respectively.

At this time, the generals were dressed the same as Li Zicheng, all wearing white felt hats and blue arrow jackets, although they were outstanding in tactics, but strategically, they still had to listen to those military advisers and literati.

Therefore, everyone only listened in the hall, listening to Niu Jinxing, Gu Junen, Song Xiance and others arguing fiercely, and discussing the next step of breaking into the camp.

"King, please attack Beizhi and Shandong, and then go straight to Beijing!"

It was Prime Minister Niu Jinxing who spoke, he had a long beard, a clear face, and was wearing the official uniform of the Advocacy Mansion, with a radiant look and even more style. There is only one auspicious cloud on his complement, a pheasant feather on the crown, and a rhinoceros jade belt pinned to his waist, which is the highest-ranking official uniform in the Chongyi Mansion.

Although he is only under one person in name and above 10,000 people, the generals of the five battalions and even General Guo Yi can not buy his account. However, on the bright side, everyone still has to be polite to him, and he has reached this point as a person, Niu Jinxing is high-spirited, and this prime minister is also doing a good job.

He boldly put forward his own strategy, that is, to directly attack the Beijing division, he believes that it is no problem to directly attack the Beijing division with the strength of the battalion, and his selfishness also wants to make himself, the prime minister, a veritable prime minister of the whole country, rather than the prime minister of several local governments.

After the change of dynasty, it is more possible to avoid the ugly title of thief, which literati likes to carry the reputation of "thief" on his back? Therefore, the rapid capture of Jingshi is Niu Jinxing's bold proposal.

Yang Yongyu, a courtesy government attendant, has a different opinion. With the surrender of Dr. Qin Tianjian as a squire, in the imperial court, he is a Shangshu-level figure, and he is also high-spirited. Because he has lived in Huguang for a long time and understands the wealth of Huguang and Jiangnan, his strategy is to stay in the capital and cut off his luck!

In the end, he engaged in Gu Junen's strategy, and vigorously rejected Niu Jinxing and Yang Yongyu's strategy: "No, no! First stay in Beijing, the power is inferior. It's hard to help. It's ...... slow down when it fails."

Gu Junen said with a smile on his face, he, like Niu Jinxing, was impeccable in appearance, and his voice was particularly strong. Quite pleasant: "...... Again. Straight to the Beijing Division. If you don't win, you have no way to return, and your strategy is ......."

He denied Niu Jinxing and Yang Yongyu's strategy. The faces of the two changed, and he still said it with a calm expression, as if he denied the strategy of the two, just an ordinary sentence.

He slowly said his strategy: "Why don't you take Guanzhong first, build the country for the marshal Sangzi, and then take the three sides, capture Shanxi, and then go to Beijing, and have more than enough advance and retreat, so as to make the whole strategy!" ”

The sneering voice was not known to be from Niu Jinxing, Yang Yongyu, or someone else. Yang Yongyu had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of coldness, and he first asked: "Dare to ask Gu Cheng, where is the strategy of this mansion?" ”

Yang Yongyu said with a smile on his face, and there was a sense of reminding him of his identity, he was a servant of the courtesy government, and he was just a mere practitioner.

Gu Junen is not in a hurry, he is good at figuring out, he deeply understands what the king and the generals of the camp are thinking, he has a plan, and he is more calm, he smiled and said: "The core of the Ming Dynasty is in Jiangbei, not to mention that the Jiangnan River network is dense, my division is not good at water warfare, if you want to capture Jiangnan, how much time will it take?" At this time, how about relieving the imperial court? If you take 10,000 steps back, it is to capture the south of the Yangtze River, but our division is in the lower ranks, and it is not easy to attack the north from the south? The matter of Ming Taizu is indispensable. ”

"Donkey balls, Jiangnan, Huguang, and Jiangxi are not easy to play!"

At this time, Liu Zongmin patted his thigh vigorously and said, Say it slowly, but the dense network of the Jiangnan River is talking about his Liu Zongmin's heart.

The battle in the first month of the year made him palpitate, when they broke into the camp of 10,000 ships to attack Wuchang, good weather, there was a sudden big wave on the river, and many of his subordinates drowned alive, even he Liu Zongmin almost hung up, how could it not be shocking?

"Liu Ye is right."

Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Xiyao and others of the five battalions said one after another, with a look of fear on their faces, they are always on horseback, and they can play a lot of tricks on the plain, a pair of river water networks, then it is useless.

The battle in the first month, not to mention that Liu Zongmin had palpitations, they were also deeply afraid in their hearts, the battle of crossing the river frightened their courage, and the power of the wind and waves made them feel small.

Besides, the rivers are dense and they all rely on boats to travel, how can they, the northern soldiers, stand it? Moreover, the power of their camp is in the horse team, and when they arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, they are afraid that they will all become infantry, in case they are blocked by officers and soldiers, it is called every day, and the earth is not spiritual, and there is nowhere to escape.

Li Zicheng nodded, to be honest, he was not interested in going to Jiangnan, Huguang was far enough away from home, and he had to go even further?

Yang Shaofan was silent, Li Yan wanted to say something, but finally kept his mouth shut.

According to his thinking, the only thing that fights a war is money and grain, and only with the rich Jiangnan can he have the strength to dominate the whole country. However, the generals disagreed, and the generalissimo did not have this idea, and the network of rivers in the south of the Yangtze River was dense, and it was also a fact that the army did not practice water warfare.

Another thing Li Yan knows is that the martial arts forces in Jiangnan are not as domineering as those in Jiangbei, and they are still dominated by civilian and cultural officials, and the basic order is still there, although the officers and soldiers are evil, they will not be as evil as Zuo Liangyu and others, and the foundation for suppressing the army and reassuring the people will be lost.

Moreover, there are many heroes and strong people in the south of the Yangtze River, high walls and deep villages, and the local villagers bravely protect the townships, so that the people have a better life, there are few hungry people, and the army has also lost the foundation for mass response. Every time there is a city and a village, I am afraid that it will have to go through a fierce battle, and it is indeed unknown whether it can capture Jiangnan.

Such a situation as Huguang is too rare, every city has someone to open the door, and the battle is easier than Henan and other places, this is the result of Zuo Liangyu's evil, and other places, I am afraid that there is no such ideal situation.

So Li Yan was silent.

Seeing that everyone disagreed with his strategy, Yang Yongyu gritted his teeth and hated, and a thought flashed in his heart, after all, he was a thief, and it was difficult to help the big thing.

He was silent, there was a kind of regret in his heart, looking at Li Zicheng and others, they were extremely short-sighted, and they didn't even know the weight of Jiangnan, it seemed that the defeat was only a matter of time, and as a servant of the courtesy government, would he be liquidated at that time?

The more I think about it, the stronger I feel, and the more I regret it. (To be continued.) )

ps: Old White Cow: Take your family out to travel for a few days on holidays, but you see only heads, and you won't go out to play on holidays in the future. The rest of the book does not contain much content, focusing on several large-scale battles, as well as the final battle, the trial of war criminals on all sides, etc.

I hope book friends understand that this book will be completed this month, but this month's update will be a little uncertain, and it won't be updated every day. It's coming to an end, and there are many places that need to be considered, and if it is updated every day, it will be a destruction of quality. I'm here to express what I'm thinking, not to write a little bit of words.

The biggest drawback of online articles, I think, is that it is updated every day, so that writing becomes a code word and a writer becomes a writer. Under strong pressure, authors also become mechanical, numb, and rush to the manuscript, never too late to brew, think, and revise.

It's not a good thing, and writing is something I love, but I feel more and more disgusted. I don't want to do this, I want to write in a relaxed and passionate state, so that what I like will still like it, and finally write what I want to write in my heart.
