Wang Jiayin rode into Hequ City on a horse and walked into Hequ City beamingly, Hequ City is strong, I didn't expect it to be so easy to break through, almost no loss, this is extremely rare, and it is also thanks to Li Guo's descendant.

This Li Guo is young, but he is brave and strategic, and he has to find a way to win him over. Didn't you say that you should reward Li Guo with 500 horses, you must reward him, and you must give him good horses! Wang Jiayin thought to himself.

Wang Jiayin walked into the lobby of the Hequ County Ya, where many leaders of the peasant army were already waiting.

The county government has been cleaned up by Li Guo, and the official documents in the lobby have been carried away, and a big Taishi chair has been put up, with two rows of chairs on both sides.

Wang Jiayin nodded, walked straight to the Taishi chair and sat down, and everyone sat down one by one. Wang Jiayin swept around and found that Li Guo was standing in the corner of the back row, Wang Jiayin nodded, good boy, he is not proud of his achievements.

Looking at the many leaders of the rebel army, Wang Jiayin opened his mouth, "Today's capture of Hequ, we didn't lose a cent, let's talk about it, whose credit is this?" ”

Everyone smiled and looked around with their eyes to find Li Guo.

"Yes, it is Li Guo, the so-called rewards and punishments are clear, since Li Guo has made great contributions, according to what was originally said, reward five hundred war horses, everyone will have no objections!" Wang Jiayin asked.

"Give, of course!" "Whoever pays the debt is the grandson!" A dozen big bosses shouted below,

At this time, if you don't act righteously, you will be too cautious. Although each of them thirty or forty war horses was distressed, they still came out. What's more, Li Guo's exploits are there! It has to be admired.

Wang Jiayin nodded, "I will reward another thousand taels of silver, and in addition, when the discussion is in the future, I will add a seat to Li Guo." ”

Although the reward of 1,000 taels of silver is also a large amount, the peasant army at this time is not short of money, not to mention breaking the city, even if it captures a village, at least there are more than 1,000 taels of silver. The important thing is to add a seat, which represents the improvement of status, you must know that Li Guo's uncle Li Zicheng is only sitting in the last seat at this time.

Increased status means many benefits, such as the distribution of seized goods.

In the face of everyone's admiration, Li Guo just bowed, clasped his fists with both hands and saluted Wang Jiayin, "Big leader, horses and silver reward Li Guo accepted, but Li Guo is still young, only has some horseman bravery, and has no qualifications to take on the responsibility." ”

"Why don't you have qualifications, isn't it brave and resourceful to capture this river meandering city without losing a penny? You don't have to excuse yourself. Wang Jiayin persuaded.

Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others also said that Li Guo is their relative and junior, and Li Guo's status improvement is also beneficial to them.

But Li Guo insisted on refusing, resolutely refused, and everyone had to give up. It's just that everyone thinks that Li Guo is a bit stupid.

Li Guo didn't think so, Li Guo knew that the peasant army uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty was a long-term process, and the peasant army was about to go to a low point. Now is not the time to be famous, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and being famous has its own benefits of being famous, but the timing of scoring.

Seeing that Li Guo insisted on refusing, he stopped mentioning the matter.

The next topic, Wang Ziyong and others have been planning for a long time, that is, to let Wang Jiayin be the king.

In this regard, Li Guo was even more disapproving. Li Guo remembered that the famous strategist Liu Bowen had proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, that the situation at that time was also a peasant uprising, and the four forces were divided and disputed. Liu Bowen's construction is "to build a high wall, slowly become a king, and accumulate grain." These words are deep in Li Guo's heart. At this time, although the situation was not the same as that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when it was weak, it was the same truth that Taoguang was obscure and accumulated strength.

Seeing that the leaders of the peasant army supported Wang Jiayin's desire to be the king, Li Guo expressed his opposition.

"The matter of me building a big leader to become king should be postponed." Li Guo said.

Wang Jiayin's face was unhappy, can't I be the king? This kid is tiger-headed and has a tiger's brain, and he can say anything!

Gao Yingxiang glared at Li Guo: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

"It is the will of heaven for the big leader to call the king, and we are in accordance with the hearts of the people, how can we slow it down?" Wang said for himself.

Bai Yuzhu said in a critical tone, "Li Guo, don't think that you have some credit, just talk nonsense!" Don't you want the big boss to be king? ”

"No, no, no! I mean, now is not the time. Li Guo shook his head.

"Let go!" Bai Yuzhu scolded Li Guo: "How dare you say such a thing? Now is not the time, when is it good? ”

"Fill it up, are you confused?" Zhang Xianzhong stroked his beard: "What's wrong with the big boss being called the king?" When the time comes, everyone will be an official, are you still afraid that you will be missing? ”

Li Guo was about to refute, but Li Zicheng was afraid that Li Guo's temper would say something inconsequential, so he said, "Li Guo, you go out to inspect first." ”

Li Guo sighed, thought about it, shook his head, and walked out with a flick of his sleeves. Li Guo thought to himself, what is the matter with my mother, I have good things to say to you, if you don't listen, then you can't blame me.

Those who have rebelled since ancient times, although most people know that they can't be emperors, they can't wait to be kings. The reason for this, without it, is that there is a rebellion anyway, and the matter of losing the head, whether you live or die, first pass the emperor's addiction.

Wang Jiayin said that the same is true of the king. The big and small leaders on the left and right are also busy persuading, and they have all thought about an official addiction, after all, in the past, people's ideas were very direct, and ascending the throne and becoming the king was also a dynasty.

Thus, under the indiscriminate command of a few captured officials and eunuchs who were said to be familiar with the inner court, the haphazard preparations for the enthronement began. It's just that Hequ is a small county town after all, and it is greatly lacking in terms of manpower and material resources.

Now, the inside and outside of the county office in the meanders of the river have been freshly painted, and red lanterns are hung in front of and behind the houses. The old bricks and stones in the courtyard were discarded and paved with green bricks, which were dug from the courtyard of a wealthy man's house.

The most interesting thing is the couplet at the door of the county government hall, and I don't know which cultural person wrote it. The upper link is, 'Fengtian carrier', the lower link is 'to save all the people', and the horizontal batch is 'the king is king'. The meaning of this couplet is that there is a Wang Jiayin surnamed Wang who adheres to the will of heaven and becomes king, and wants to save all people from fire and water. However, the upper and lower couplets of this couplet are very short, and it always seems that they are halfway written and not finished.

But at that time, most of the leaders of the peasant army were mud-legged, and they were just a good praise couplet. Someone asked why it was good, and the reply was, "There are few words, but it is refreshing to read." ’

However, Wang Jiayin is not carried by heaven and does not say, but he can't save the people from fire and water for the time being. The reason is that Wang Jiayin's ascension to the throne in addition to building civil engineering, but also needs personnel from the inner court, in Hequ City, a group of twenty-eight young girls were forcibly recruited into the county government to serve as palace maids, and some handsome hard-working young men were unable to protect their bodies and became eunuchs. It made the city of Hequ smoky, and the people in the city kept scolding.

So, after Wang Jiayin retreated from the river meander, some cultured people added a few words to the couplet, and the couplet became "Fengtian carries 'not luck', and rescues all the people 'scourge'", and the horizontal criticism is "The king is called the king 'eight'", which became a joke.

But most of the peasant army is a group of official fans, and at this moment, these official fans are practicing etiquette and celebrations under the command of the eunuchs who know how to do it, so they kowtow and kowtow again and again, and they are very busy.

There is no Li Guo here, of course Li Guo refused to come, and Wang Jiayin did not let him come. There is no other reason, Li Guo made a mistake again and sold sheep!
