Chapter 45 Planning

Shaanxi drought, Gao Yingxiang called himself the king of Chuang, ascended a shout, led the victims to be unveiled and rose up to break the king's army, later generations of history textbooks called the righteous army, but where is the righteousness, really some can not see because the troops led by Gao Chuang Wang have always been doing the cause of smashing and looting, anyway, when they hear that whoever has food, they will rob whoever they want, in short, they will grab wherever they go, and they were called Liukou at that time

Such a situation, in all dynasties will be suppressed by the imperial court, after all, this is already a blatant rebellion As for why the history textbooks of later generations should say that it is a righteous act, I really don't understand, it is estimated that in later generations, if such a thing happens, it will also be suppressed by the imperial court, no matter what, it will not be called a righteous act

Gao Yingxiang led the army to start a rebellion career, but at this time the rebellious brother was not only Gao Chuangwang, it can be said that there are man-made counterforces in all parts of Shaanxi, and the biggest one is not Gao Yingxiang, the biggest one is called Wang Jiayin, since they are all from Shaanxi, and they are doing the same business, it is inevitable to help each other, especially Wang Jiayin, who can be regarded as the first rebel in Shaanxi, so the name is also loud, so many of the later rebels responded to Wang Jiayin's call and joined his command. King Gao Yingxiang is one of them, and there are also Wang Ziyong, what sweeping king, Xing Red Wolf, in short, there are all kinds of names, so I won't list them one by one here

Because of the defection of Gao Yingxiang and Wang Ziyong, Wang Jiayin's strength increased greatly in a few months, and soon spread to the three provinces of Jinjin, Ning, and Gansu, and the ranks of rebels also grew to more than 20,000 people

****************************************************

Jiangnan is in the flower hall of a spacious mansion, there are more than a dozen people gathered at this moment, among which there is a person wearing a red and black robe, this person's face is also covered with a skull mask on both sides of his lower hand, the first person sitting on the left hand is a lady in her thirties, under her hand, there is actually sitting Mr. Ye, under Mr. Ye, there are four people on the right hand, a total of six people are also sitting, the head is a man in his thirties, this man looks ordinary, and his clothes are also very simple, Like him, his dignity and dress, thrown into the pile, it is estimated that he can be submerged, but when he starts, the one who is sitting is actually a businessman dressed as Nangong Shuo, and he is still sitting in Nangong Shuo, and he is still sitting in Xing Ming'an

Since this gang of people appeared, needless to say, it can also be known that this is a big gathering of the Dragon Slaying Gang

"Ladies and gentlemen, Shaanxi Wang Jiayin and other rebellions, you have all heard about the year of natural disasters now, Yue Su and Ding are worried at home, it is when I am waiting to show my strength, Mr. Nangong, I think it should be usable, you will send someone out to preach to me now, and spread the matter of the eighteen princes' main artifact to the whole world, especially to let Li Wenzhang know" The mask man said in a deep voice

"Yes, lord" Nangong Shuo immediately followed with his fists, and the masked man looked at the blue-robed man who was Mr. Ye's hand, and said: "Gu Huaizhen, isn't the Dutch red-haired ghost already occupying Taiwan now, I heard that their firearms are very powerful, so you want to contact them to see if you can buy some firearms of the red-haired ghost, and tell them, how many, how much we want, silver is not a problem Back then, we had an incident in Shaanxi, and the reason why we lost to Yue Su was mainly because his red-clothed cannon was powerful, and we should also get some, On the battlefield in the future, let the Ming army also suffer a little"

"Subordinates obey orders" The blue-robed man replied with his fists in his fist, Gu Huaizhen, slaying the dragon to help the master of the Qinglong Hall

"At the moment, there should be no major events here in the south of the Yangtze River, we want to start an incident here, it is estimated that it will be difficult, so I think, at this time, buy more food, and then think of more weapons, transport them across the Yangtze River, and make some articles in Henan and Shandong in the future, Mr. Ye, I will leave it to you."

"Yes, my lord," Mr. Ye hurriedly took the order

"Today, I came to you, mainly to explain these three things, these three things are the top priority, although it seems simple, but it may not be so easy to do, especially the purchase of firearms and grain, grass, weapons, these two things, not only need a large number of manpower, but also need your cooperation for so many years, we have accumulated a lot of wealth in the Dragon Gang Gang this time, this time, I plan to take all of them in, fight hard, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent! Because, I really can't wait," the masked man said at the end, his tone extremely firm

"We will swear to follow the lord to the death, and if we don't succeed in taking the world, we will become benevolent!" Everyone in the flower hall shouted loudly

*******************************************************

The proverb "Red face is dead, chaos is stopped, eighteen sons, the main artifact" is like a nursery rhyme, and it soon spread all over the south of the Yangtze River and slowly spread to the north

Huguang is not far from the south of the Yangtze River, so it naturally reached first, and on the streets of Wuchang Mansion, many ignorant children chanted loudly

The children don't understand, but they can be bought with a piece of candy or two buns, and the adults who can help spread the word can hear it, and they are a little bit more cultured, and they quickly understand the meaning, not to mention Li Wenzhang's father and son

In the study room of the Li Mansion, Li Wenzhang's father and son sat in front of the bookcase

Tonight, my father suddenly asked me to come to the study, and Li Yuanchen naturally understood what it meant, and it must have been what my father had after hearing that nursery rhyme

When Li Yuanchen came to the study, he first called his father, and with his father's permission, he sat opposite his father, and then said nothing

Li Wenzhang looked at his son and suddenly said: "Yuanchen, you have always been like a god, you come to guess, why did your father come to you tonight?" ”

"Father, you didn't come to me for that nursery rhyme, did you?" Li Yuanchen said what he thought

"My son is really like a god, yes, for my father to come to you tonight, for this matter to die and stop the chaos, what does the sentence eighteen sons and the main artifact mean, I think you can also understand, although I don't know whether it's true or not, but it's groundless, and it may not be without a reason, do you say yes?" Li Wenzhang looked at his son with a smile

"Father, when I say this, it's just that the child always feels a little weird, but what's wrong, I can't say it for a while, because I've heard that this nursery rhyme is circulating all over the south of the Yangtze River," Li Yuanchen said

"Strange, it's indeed a little weird, but on the other hand, I think it's good for my father, you think, eighteen sons, the main artifact, doesn't it mean, there must be a person surnamed Li to be the emperor Now, the drought in Shaanxi, the rogue is raging, if the court suppresses it unfavorably, there will inevitably be a big chaos The so-called emperor takes turns, and when the chaos occurs, who can dominate the world, it is not easy to say for the father that since the surname Li can be the emperor, he can be the head of our family" When Li Wenzhang said the last sentence, his tone was obviously excited, It's as if he will be emperor tomorrow

However, Li Yuanchen was not as impulsive as his father, but said calmly: "Father, our Li family can be described as a rich party, both in the government and the opposition, there are our people, it is already regarded as the wind and the rain, why bother to wade into this troubled water, we are not as bitter as those who rebelled in Shaanxi haha, they are unable to eat and have to rebel, they belong to broken jars and broken but we are porcelain, once we fail, the loss of life is small, and the family business left by our ancestors will be all gone."

"Yuan Chen, you are not wrong with your scruples, my father also thinks of this, naturally he will not be brutal, he is bound to make up his mind and then move to find you tonight, in fact, it is also a discussion, look at the situation, and then act no matter whether it is successful or not, our Li family, naturally we want to be invincible, isn't this also the principle that our father and son have always done" Li Wenzhang said

With his father's words, Li Yuanchen nodded and said, "Father is right, everything is invincible, Fang is the best policy, but I don't know what my father wants to do now?" ”

"My father plans to do so, after a while, I will contact the eunuchs of the Huguang Supervision Army and the Guangxi Supervision Army, and buy armor and weapons from them as soon as the military supplies are concerned, it depends on the future trend, anyway, those military supplies are bought, and they can't be compensated, once they can't be used, they can also be sold to the Jurchen court outside the Guan, and Fang Congzhe is staring at us, although he will not cooperate with us to rebel, but, important news, can still be revealed to our Li family is rich in the world, and everything in the world has been seen, I've enjoyed everything, but the dragon chair, I have never sat on the father is already old, if I can sit on the high chair before I die, it is not in vain to be a child in this life, everything from my father is yours, if you can really fight to that position, a hundred years later, it is naturally your Li family, who has been in business for generations, and doing business is to pay attention to investment and return, this time, we are also doing a business, but this business is a little risky, there is a bad pool, you have to lose all the old capital, so for the father, We won't make a move easily, let's wait, see what changes will happen in the next few years" Li Wenzhang said his plan, from his expression, it is not difficult to see that he wants to be the throne, people in the world, there are a few people who don't want to be the emperor However, there is only one emperor, not the chair that anyone can do, it is not so easy to sit on, even if you sit on it, you don't know whether it is stable or not

Li Yuanchen didn't speak immediately, but digested his father's words first, and then said: "Father, this business is indeed very risky, but it's not impossible, the chaos in Shaanxi, if the imperial court really doesn't calm down in a short period of time, let them make a big fuss, after a long time, anything can happen I also agree with my father's meaning, so I will buy those military supplies back first, and wait to see if I can use them in the future."

The eunuch of the supervising army has always been responsible for the logistics of the army, managing weapons, armor and other military supplies
