181. Collect heroes
Liu Zongmin was ridiculed by him, but he was not angry, and said with a smile: "Who said that there are only the two of us, don't hide it from you, our village ...... Nine out of ten people want to rebel, but they haven't found anyone to lead everyone to start up, isn't it providence that you, who have been soldiers and fought in battles, come back at this time? I think this is the end of the matter...... You're in charge, we'll do it with you......"
"How many are there?" Li Zicheng doesn't like nine out of ten such counting, he is a person who has been a border army, although the Ming Dynasty collapsed, but the army stationed on the border line is very elite, people who have been border soldiers, the understanding of military formations and battles is much deeper than ordinary people, and even dozens of times better than the guards in the mainland, it is not an exaggeration to say that a small soldier in the border army is more capable of fighting than an ordinary general in the mainland, he can not accept a vague number.
Liu Zongmin was asked so seriously by him, knowing that he was moved: "Hey! If you dare to ask, I will dare to say......" Stretched out a finger: "There is this ......"
"Ten thousand?" Li Zicheng was overjoyed.
"There are so many, no." Liu Zongmin hurriedly shook his head.
"A thousand?" Li Zicheng's brows furrowed, if it is 10,000 people, maybe you can do something, but if there are only 1,000, then it will be useless, and the officers and soldiers will destroy you with a breath.
"Are you still from our Lijia Village?" Liu Zongmin said dissatisfiedly: "You still don't know how many people there are in our village? Even if the whole village is counted, there are not a thousand, I compare this to a hundred, and we will have a hundred! ”
"It turned out to be a hundred!" Li Zicheng's face couldn't hide the look of loss: "What can only a hundred people do?" At this point, people ran out to rebel and revolt, not to mention going against the imperial court, and if they ran into a team of village warriors, they would not be able to eat and walk around. ”
When Liu Zongmin heard this, he immediately became impatient: "Huang Wa'er, are you still the Huang Wa'er I know?" Where did the energy to fight go? Let me tell you, our village is finished, and now God has no precipitation and no land to plant. Our village has not been completed for more than two years, and the villagers are going to starve to death, let alone a hundred people, even if there are only ten people, we have to fight now...... If you don't want to go, just ask, if you want to go, stand up for me and lead everyone, if you don't want to go, get out of the way, Lao Tzu Liu Zongmin can also lead the villagers to get food. ”
When he scolded, Li Zicheng immediately snorted: "There is nothing I dare not do, but before doing anything, it is always not wrong to think clearly, Zong Min, let me tell you, this person will definitely not succeed...... We can't do it ourselves, we have to find someone to take refuge in, and only with a backer can we get food. ”
"With a backer, don't you also have a discipline?" Liu Zongmin was a little unhappy: "I, Liu Zongmin, except for you, no one else wants to talk nonsense about me, let's not rely on the mountain." ”
Li Zicheng said coldly: "I don't like someone to take care of it, find a backer, not find someone to manage, but lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade, let's grow up slowly under the protection of the big tree, and then push the tree down after we have the strength, isn't it?" ”
"Hey, that's a good idea, hahaha!" Liu Zongmin laughed and said: "Cheng, then let's take refuge, I have a good place to go...... I heard that Baishui Zhu Ba of Huanglong Mountain has erected a flag for Tianxingdao and is calling the heroes of the world to vote, saying that he wants to build a new Shuibo Liangshan. This Zhu Ba is said to be a righteous person, Yichuan Miaomei was in trouble, he personally led the troops to the rescue, and the kindness was deep, and now the heroes of the rivers and lakes are desperate, all go to him, let's take the villagers to Huanglong Mountain. ”
When Li Zicheng heard this, he tilted his head and thought for a while. He has been wandering outside for the past two years, and he has never heard the story of Baishui Zhuba, but his reaction is different from that of ordinary people after hearing this story. Ordinary people listened to Zhu Ba's story, probably a little admiration, some yearning, and wanted to call Zhu Ba a big brother, but Li Zicheng listened to Zhu Ba's story, but he was deeply afraid, because he felt a momentum different from ordinary rogues from Zhu Ba's various actions...... It was a great ambition, as if the dragon was about to wander the world for a while before it flew into the sky......
Li Zicheng had a feeling that that person ...... He will be his rival in the future! A very strong opponent! Because he himself is also a heroic man with great ambitions, in his heart, there is also a dragon that wants to fly into the air at any time with its teeth and claws.
The two dragons don't see each other!
Li Zicheng didn't dare to see Zhu Ba, he was very worried that the moment his eyes were seen through by Zhu Ba, two hundred sword and axe hands jumped out of the tent that had been ambushed in advance......
After a long time, Li Zicheng sighed: "No...... Let's not go to Zhu Ba's cottage. ”
"Why?"
"If you don't go, you won't go, there's no why!" Li Zicheng said in a deep voice.
"Then who are we going to vote for?" Liu Zongmin asked.
"Go and vote for my uncle Gao Yingxiang!" Li Zicheng said seriously: "My uncle calls himself 'King Chuang', and now he has a team of several thousand people to follow Wang Jiayin's eldest brother in the army, and if we go to vote for him, we should arrange a place for me." ”
"It turns out that King Chuang is Uncle Gao?" Liu Zongmin was shocked: "I often hear that Wang Jiayin has a famous general, named King Chuang, who is very brave in battle, but I didn't expect it to be Uncle Gao who has often teased me since I was a child, haha!" Why did he use such a strange name? ”
Li Zicheng smiled and shook his head: "Can you use your real name for the rebellion?" If you dare to use your real name, if you revolt today, you will be dug up by the government tomorrow for your family's ancestral grave......"
Liu Zongmin laughed: "My old Liu family has nothing, just me, my family's ancestral grave can't even find where I am, I'm not afraid of the court to dig it, if I revolt, I will use my real name...... It's Huang Wa'er, you can't use your real name, there are many relatives in your family who are still alive. ”
"Hmm!" After Li Zicheng pondered for a while, he said seriously: "Okay, I'll follow my uncle's name, his name is King Chuang, I'll call him General Chuang...... Zong Min, go and call the villagers to come out, I want to teach them everything I learned as a soldier in the border army, and then we will uncover the uprising and vote for my uncle. ”
"Great! We two brothers can go crazy together again, hahahaha! Crazy he is dark, crazy he is said to be moonless! Hahahaha! Liu Zongmin laughed and left.
In the third year of Chongzhen, Mi Zhi, the demon king Li Zicheng was born...... Because of his arrival, the Ming Dynasty will fall down and fall apart.
Later, the history secretary said: Li Zicheng is a horseman of Yinchuan Station, shouting with his arms, Kyushu is cracked!

Huanglong Mountain!
Recently, Zhu Yuanzhang has been very busy, up and down the mountain, constantly receiving heroes and heroes who come from afar.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang rescued Miao Mei and returned to the mountain, the chivalrous name has gone away! Many heroes who were cornered by the government went up to the mountains one after another to vote. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang does not refuse to come, although he knows that these people who come to vote are good and bad, and they can't be collected, but now he can't show a trace of refusal, no matter who comes, he must accept it as one, so as to further expand the scale of the cottage.
If he picks and chooses at this time and turns away some unwanted people, it may ruin his hard-earned reputation.
Anyway, a little jumping clown, even if they are mixed into their own army, Zhu Yuanzhang has the ability to suppress them so that they can't afford to make waves, and in the future, take a little time to come out without a trace and abandon them.
In just three or four months, Zhu Yuanzhang actually received more than 1,000 volunteers, and the vast majority of these more than 1,000 volunteers were young and middle-aged, and only a very few were old, weak, sick and disabled.
In fact, the reason is very simple, the vast majority of those who come out to be thieves are young and middle-aged people who change their names and surnames to become thieves, and the old and weak families remain in the village of their hometown and suffer hard, waiting for them to rob things and go back to pay respect...... Like Zhu Yuanzhang, the old, weak, sick and disabled are all included in the cottage, or like Wang Zuojiao, the old, weak, sick and disabled are all brought to the battlefield, at this time is not much, it will be several years later, Li Zicheng with hundreds of thousands of rogues everywhere, the situation of the old, weak, sick and disabled on the battlefield is relatively common.
So Zhu Yuanzhang quickly accepted a thousand new troops this time, from the new 19th team to the new 28th team. The strength of the cottage has almost doubled, and it is about to exceed three thousand.
And there are heroes outside the mountain who keep throwing in......
Just like today, Zhu Yuanzhang was watching Wang Er's training on the top of the mountain, and suddenly heard that another group of rogues came to join the gang at the foot of the mountain, so he asked Wang Er to continue to practice, don't stop! He brought Desperate Saburo, Xu Renjie, Miao Mei and others down the mountain to greet him.
This one, it's really fun! This time, it was actually a group of female thieves!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at more than a hundred stout and sturdy women standing in front of him, most of them were very ugly, with sturdy bodies like men, and dark skin, and they looked like they had been working in the fields all year round. The women's expressions are also very strong, looking like a group of female tigers looking for prey, and none of them are easy to mess with.
The leader is a woman in red, well, the woman in red is not as beautiful as the woman in the storytelling, this woman is a typical type of woman, her waist is as thick as a bucket, and her eyes are like a cow.
"The old lady's name is Yingshan Hong!" The woman in red spoke: "I heard that Baishui Zhu Ba is righteous, let's come to join in, can you accept it?" ”
"This ......" Xu Renjie was so frightened by her rough voice that he shuddered, took half a step back, reached out and pulled the sleeve of the desperate Saburo, and muttered in his ear: "Oh my God, this is also a woman?" It's a fucking idiot......"
Desperate Saburo smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "It should be a woman...... Men can't grow such a big ass, my mom, she has to sit hard on the ground, and we have to sit flat in Huanglongshan......"
"This appearance is actually called Yingshanhong, and it has ruined a good name......" Even Miao Mei couldn't help wiping a handful of sweat.
It is true that the three of them are bold heroes, but when a hero sees a, his heart will tremble. The three of them couldn't help but be curious, what would Brother Zhu's expression be to this?
Zhu Yuanzhang is not as useless as the three of them, he is still so calm and calm, as if the creature in front of him is a man or a woman or an orangutan will not scare him for half a point, he is actually the same as receiving other rebels, he nodded with a smile and said: "Yingshanhong, Huanglong Cottage welcomes your arrival......"
It's still Zhu Bugs! Xu Renjie, Desperate Saburo, and Miao Mei are really convinced this time.
