"Do you have the guts to be this official?" This voice was like a spike, piercing Li Panlong's heart. He is a complete official fan, in this life's limited life has been pursued in the pursuit of being an official, in order to be an official, he scattered his family wealth to organize the village brave, the family wealth passed down for more than ten generations, almost all of them were used by him to form an army, in the past few years, he has fought in the west, and the thieves have fought big and small I don't know how many battles, isn't it just to be an official?

But...... Being an official is to glorify the ancestors, to get ahead, and to be an official of the imperial court has such a role, if you are an official of a thief, what are the benefits?

Li Panlong was on the spot, his head full of paste. I want to be an official, but I don't want to be an official of a thief......

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't persuade him when he saw him, but just glanced at Xu Renjie, Xu Renjie walked over, patted Li Panlong's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay if it's not right, we won't kill you just yet, but ...... When will you be able to become an official of the court? Tut...... That's a lot of difficulty. ”

Hearing Xu Renjie's words, Li Panlong was immediately dumbfounded: "The official of the imperial court...... I...... I don't know when I'll be able to be a ......," he said, and became depressed: "Alas, I was arrested by you this time, I just want not to be called a gangster, and I am afraid that there is no hope for being an official." ”

Xu Renjie said with a smile: "I see that you have no chance to be an official of the imperial court in your life, and you are caught by a thief with such a major mistake on your head, how can the imperial court want you?" ”

Li Panlong was so depressed that he couldn't do it.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Renjie no longer persuaded them, but just waved their hands and let Li Panlong leave on his own. If something can't be rushed, just plant the seed first and wait for it to sprout. Li Panlong will inevitably think about it after he goes back. As long as he takes refuge in Zhu Jun, he can get mixed with a county order, it is impossible for him not to think about this matter repeatedly in his heart, as long as the opportunity is right in the future, he will naturally come to autumn. If you have to force him to join the gang here, you will be left behind.

"By the way, take your Townsmen!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Keep up their training, don't lose it, if they don't follow you, I won't give you this county order." ”

Li Panlong hurriedly responded and ran out.

Next, Zhu Yuanzhang used the same method to deal with the leaders of the township brave army in Huaxian and Pucheng. Plant a seed in their hearts as well, and let it go. Only the waste county order of Huaxian County and the guy who likes to wear two-layer fish scale armor did not end well, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even give them a chance to surrender, and directly ordered the soldiers to drag these two guys out and cut them down. The bloodied head was quickly sent back and placed on the desk in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

At last. Only Li Qingshui and Xiao Er Cao were left in the room, and Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Li Qingshui and said with a smile: "Do you have anything to say?" ”

"This official has nothing to say, if you want to kill, you will kill, anyway, you have killed the county order of Huaxian County, and it is not bad to kill me more." Li Qingshui snorted coldly.

"Do you know why I killed the county magistrate of Huaxian County?" Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Because he is a corpse and has nothing to do, this kind of official is more refreshing to kill than to keep and waste food." But I want to give you a chance...... Come and be my political envoy to Shaanxi. What do you think? ”

"Scare?" Li Qingshui froze: "What did you say?" ”

"Bugling Brother Zhu is asking you to be our Shaanxi Xibu political envoy!" Xu Renjie smiled: "What a big official, in charge of a province's civil affairs, finance, land, household registration, money and grain, official assessment, communication and supervision and various prefectures and counties, this is really obedient." ”

"Thieves and fools talk about dreams, and now they have only won a few county seats, and they dare to set up false officials." Li Qingshui didn't like it.

"Although I only have a few county seats. But to take down the whole of Shaanxi is a matter of one sentence. Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "There are only 5,000 garrisons in Xi'an, and in front of my army, they don't even dare to go out of the city gate, and I will occupy all the state capitals and counties outside Xi'an City in front of them." It is effortless to control all the people, and when the time comes, Xi'an will be left as a bare city, what can it do? ”

Li Qingshui was dumbfounded.

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "It doesn't matter if you don't do it, I can hand over the position of political envoy to Wang Er to do it......"

"Nonsense!" Li Qingshui was furious, he glared at Wang Er angrily, and roared: "How can this person who only has muscles but not brains be a political envoy? If he really became a political envoy, the people's livelihood in Shaanxi would be ruined. ”

"If you don't talk nonsense, I won't ruin people's livelihood." Wang Er said honestly: "We are also from a poor background, how can we do bad things?" I will take care of the civil affairs, I will first dig and send people to seventeen or eighteen canals to solve the problem of drought and bring some benefits to everyone......"

"Fuck off! Dig seventeen or eighteen canals? Before you can solve the drought, you will exhaust the people to death. Do you know how much manpower and material resources are required to dig a canal? Li Qingshui said angrily: "You must not be a political envoy like you." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang had no choice but to spread his hands and said: "Then I don't have a better candidate, do you want Miao Mei to be the political envoy?" ”

Li Qingshui glared at Miao Mei angrily.

Miao Mei sweated profusely, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Renjie: "Generalissimo, come on, I will have a big head when I hear it." ”

Xu Renjie shook his head and said: "I want to lead troops to fight, let alone the political envoys, and I should not give me a cabinet scholar." I think Xue Hongqi is good as a political envoy, and whoever doesn't listen to her, she will whip whoever she wants. ”

"Nonsense, nonsense, just a bastard!" Li Qingshui was furious: "Do you treat civil affairs as a child's play? How can you thieves who don't know anything be allowed to manage the people's livelihood in Shaanxi*xi, I will never allow it...... Finally, the cultivation of taro has been on track, and the sweet potato has also begun to be planted, if I let you villains mess around, my years of hard work will be in vain. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands and said: "But I don't have anyone under me who can handle civil affairs, everyone is very good at fighting, and they don't know anything about dance and writing, so I can only hand over civil affairs to them." ”

"No! I can't let you guys come here. Li Qingshui jumped to his feet and said: "I will be the political envoy, and I will protect the people of Shaanxi." ”

Everyone looked at him with smiles.

Li Qingshui knew that he was fooled, and hurriedly said loudly: "Although Shaanxi is about to fall into the hands of thieves such as you, I still regard it as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the people here are my people of the Ming Dynasty, I am contributing to the people of the Ming Dynasty, not for you thieves, I am in Cao Ying's heart in Han!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "You are a hero, you are in Cao Ying's heart in Han, but the world of the Han family has not fallen into the hands of the Cao family in the end?" ”

Li Qingshui was taken aback, and then realized that what he said just now was very unlucky.

But the words that came out were like water spilled out, where could they be recovered, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Renjie both laughed, and the other few people didn't read much, so they didn't know this allusion, so they didn't laugh with them, but just the two of them laughed, which also made Li Qingshui blush.

He shook his hand angrily and walked out, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, and several soldiers followed, obviously to monitor his movements, Li Qingshui was also calm, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely send someone to monitor him, and there was nothing to say.

It wasn't until Li Qingshui walked out of the door that General Cao in the room sighed at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "This kid named Li Qingshui is a good person, but it's a pity that he is too young and is being played with by you." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled but said nothing.

Cao Wenzhao said: "But I don't have these means of surrendering, I won't do anything for you, it's a big deal." ”

Cao Bianjiao also said: "That is, even if you kill our uncle and nephew, we will not let go." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "I didn't think about saying that I would descend to you, didn't I say it last time?" I'll take you to our army, mainly to show you which direction the sword should be swung in, and you can watch quietly......"

The big and small two Cao glanced at each other, and they really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd.

At this time, all the captives were disposed of by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he began to plan to do something serious, summoning Xu Renjie and other generals to his side, spreading out a geographical map of mountains and rivers, and ordering: "Generalissimo, you take 3,000 soldiers to the north, and subdue Tongchuan, Yijun, and finally Luochuan by the way, and control the surrounding counties...... With great fanfare, he declared that Baishui Zhu Ba had returned, and called the poor people to join our army, and those who were willing to join the gang would stay, and their character would be examined later. ”

"Yes!" Xu Renjie took the order and left.

"Desperate San Lang, you take 3,000 soldiers to the north, subdue Pucheng, and then return to the army to defend it, and be responsible for the defense of Baishui and Chengcheng......"

"Yes!" Desperate Saburo also took the order and left.

"Xue Hongqi, you inform a city, a cloud, move the army to Tongguan, hold Tongguan to the death, and prevent the 36th battalion or officers and soldiers from entering Shaanxi from Tongguan."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled at Yang Hong, Miao Mei and others: "Let's go to Xi'an for a while......

"Yes!" All the leaders laughed.

Yang Hong said with a slight worry on his face: "Brother Zhu, let's raise the banner this time and vigorously attack the city, in this way, we will be regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh by the imperial court, and we have to be careful of the desperate encirclement and suppression of the imperial court." Wouldn't it be reckless to occupy the county seat and pass so quickly, and fight hard with the imperial court? ”

"It's a little reckless, indeed." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded at him and said, "But if we want to be strong, we have to be reckless...... Relying only on the strength of the three counties of Baishui, Chengcheng, and Dali, we have fed an army of more than 10,000 people, and this ability has reached the limit, if we still can't shrink, we will not be able to develop and grow again, and we will not be able to follow the 36th battalion to wander, because that does not conform to the basic principle of our foothold in the world. ”

He paused, and then said: "Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Xingyang Conference to divide troops and expand the territory is the most ideal time for us, and at this time, the officers and soldiers of Shaanxi have been completely subdued by us. The imperial court must transfer troops from other places to deal with us, but the rebel army is scattered all over the world, and the armies everywhere are unable to withdraw, if the imperial court wants to attack us, it can only mobilize the Beijing camp or the Liaodong border army, and these two armies have to span the whole world in order to come to us for trouble...... And...... We still have tens of thousands of troops of Hengtian King, 100,000 Mixed Pillars, and Heavenly Pillars to use...... Even if the imperial court comes to Shaanxi, it may not be known who will be requisitioned. ”

Yang Hongdaqi: "How do these people make use of it?" (To be continued.) )
