Zheng Xunrui is not simple, he will not exterminate the Liukou in one go, although the current Zheng Jiajun already has such an ability, once the Huai'an Firearms Bureau starts large-scale production, fully equip the Zheng Jiajun, according to the normal plan, at most three to five years, Zheng Jiajun is not only able to exterminate the Liukou, and even has the ability to make the Houjin Tartars go up in smoke, but Zheng Xunrui can't do this, he has been keenly aware that his biggest opponent is not the Liukou, not even the Houjin Tartars, it is the emperor, Most of the scholars of the imperial court, scholars and the Ming Dynasty.

The word class solidification, any reader in the Ming Dynasty will not understand, including the emperor does not understand, but Zheng Xunrui knows the meaning, elite politics is good, not only the Ming Dynasty, for a long time in the future, the world is ruled by elites, ordinary people can not receive high-quality education, are pressed on the land, work all day long, work hard for their livelihood, and cannot bear the main responsibility for social progress.

But too much class solidification, and clinging to the idea of meritocracy, is a legacy of thousands of years.

The history of the Qing Dynasty, is a typical example of this, the development of firearms at the end of the Ming Dynasty has entered a new stage, after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, in order to continue its own rule, to avoid the rise of the Han people, forced to suppress the development of firearms, unwilling to develop any new type of firearms, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty will be the people to the ground to die, desperately suppress the commodity economy, respect the agricultural economy and the small peasant economy, rest on their laurels, refuse to have any contact with the outside world, Lao Tzu is the first in the world, poor and weak for many years, The result was the Opium War, which plunged the East, once the most glorious city in the world, into a long period of backwardness.

This is the lesson of blood. And these ideas are supported not only by the royal family, but also by many scholars.

Knowing how to open up the wisdom of the people is a sign that a nation has truly begun to progress.

It's a pity that in the Ming Dynasty, no one is willing to open the people's wisdom, and the vast majority of scholars. In their bones, they think that they are elites, that is, they are above the common people, in their eyes, the common people are stupid and stubborn, and the responsibility of the scholars is to help the emperor tame the people.

The emperor, the imperial court, and the scholars were all desperately trying to maintain such a system.

Zheng Xunrui wants to break this system, of course, it can't be broken overnight, and it must be done slowly. Doing such a thing can be said to be a huge system project, and any step must be taken carefully, and we must not go in the wrong direction.

How to deal with the rogues and the Houjin Tartars is a step in this huge system project.

Zheng Xunrui has his own ideas in his heart, and he will implement this idea step by step.

All the preparations were carried out in an orderly manner, and the officers and men of the Zheng family army who had seen the power of the Hongyi cannon and the Mauser gun. is already full of confidence, firmly believing that he can completely defeat Li Zicheng. Although Li Zicheng led 80,000 rogues, in terms of the number of people, it was a ratio of four to one.

Wang Xiaoer's speed of reporting information is becoming more and more frequent.

More information was sent to Zheng Xunrui.

When Li Zicheng's army was only fifty miles away from Luoyang Fucheng, the speed of the march suddenly slowed down.

Knowing this information, Zheng Xunrui was anxious, could it be that Li Zicheng noticed something. It is said that there is no such possibility, the scouts under Wang Xiaoer's command are to eliminate all channels for intelligence leakage, and Zheng Jiajun took Luoyang Mansion City in half a day, the time is too fast, even if there are spies left by Li Zicheng in the city. There was no chance to leave the city to report the news, because after the city was taken, martial law was imposed on the whole city, and no one was allowed to leave the city.

It is impossible for the soldiers of the Zheng family army to go out of the city to fight, there are too many uncertain factors.

There was most of the grain, grass and money in Luoyang City, and Li Zicheng couldn't bear such a loss, even if he knew that Luoyang Mansion City was taken by the official army, he would attack it desperately.

When it was almost dark, Wang Xiaoer came to report again.

It turned out that Li Zicheng was waiting for Tuoyangkun, who was still in Runing Mansion, to come to meet him.

When Li Zicheng led the army to attack Xiangyang Mansion, he arranged for Li Yan, Red Lady and Tuoyangkun and others to stay behind, of which Li Yan and Red Lady were responsible for garrisoning Luoyang Mansion, and Tuoyangkun was responsible for leading 10,000 Liukou to be responsible for the security of Runing Mansion and Ruzhou and other places.

After learning of Li Zicheng's arrangement, a smile appeared on Zheng Xunrui's face.

Zheng Jinhong, Liu Zeqing, Hong Xintao, Hong Xinyu, Ma Xianglin, Su Congjin, Zheng Kaitao and others all came to the wing, and Wang Xiaoer continued to investigate outside.

Zheng Xunrui's face was calm, and his tone was also very steady.

"Li Zicheng is waiting for the 10,000 rogues led by Tuoyangkun, and after the two rogues meet, they are ready to attack, so the total strength of the rogues has reached 90,000, which is already Li Zicheng's entire strength, it seems that Li Zicheng has made up his mind to completely exterminate us."

"Li Zicheng didn't send scouts too early, it seems that he is full of confidence, but before tomorrow's attack, he must know that Luoyang Mansion City has been occupied by the official army, as for which way the army, I'm afraid he doesn't know yet, Luoyang Mansion City is the base camp of the Liukou, almost all the grain, grass and money are stored here, Li Zicheng is not willing to lose."

"Tomorrow's battle is not necessarily very fierce, except for Hong Xintao, the rest of the people know the power of the Hongyi cannon and the Mauser gun, then let Li Zicheng see the power of the Mauser gun and the Hongyi cannon tomorrow."

"In tomorrow's battle, you don't need to save bullets and shells, shoot them all, let Li Zicheng taste it well, and let Li Zicheng start to tremble when he hears the name of Zheng Jiajun in the future."

"20,000 Zheng family soldiers, of which 5,000 are still responsible for guarding the prisoners of the Liukou, the screening and selection matters do not need to be delayed, as usual, the remaining 15,000 soldiers, of which 10,000 are stationed at the south gate, and 5,000 are stationed at the east gate, if nothing else, Li Zicheng should have chosen the south gate to attack, so the south gate is arranged with 1,000 soldiers of the Shenji battalion, after the battle begins, if the direction of Li Zicheng's main attack is the south gate, then the soldiers of the 500 Shenji battalion at the east gate will be quickly transferred to the south gate."

"Once the Liukou has a rout, the soldiers of the 8,000 cavalry battalion will be dispatched to pursue them, but you must remember that the pursuit distance is limited to ten miles, and you should not pursue it excessively."

"After the battle, we will rest here for about five days, waiting for the arrival of Lord Xiong Wencan and Gao Gonggong, they will arrive in Luoyang Mansion City, and we will return to Huai'an."

"All the firearms carried this time will be handed over to Hong Xintao at that time, I have ordered the Firearms Bureau to send a batch of ammunition, Hong Xintao can wait in Luoyang Mansion City, wait for the ammunition to arrive, and then leave Luoyang Mansion City."

"After tomorrow's battle, Hong Xintao left the organization and began to carry the grain, and must carry all the 700,000 stone grain within five days, this matter can not be known to Lord Xiongwen and Lord Wu Fu, otherwise they will shout to the court again."

"There is one more thing, don't be negligent, that is, Zhang Xianzhong who is entrenched in the area of Weihui Mansion, of course, the news of Li Zicheng's fiasco will soon pass over, and the matter of Zheng Jiajun's participation in the battle, Zhang Xianzhong will soon know, I expect that Zhang Xianzhong will not dare to launch any attack, and will seriously consider the next step and continue to stay in the area of Weihui Mansion, which is very dangerous, although Zheng Jiajun has no intention of attacking Zhang Xianzhong."

"After defeating Li Zicheng tomorrow, the task of the Zheng family army in this battle will be fully completed, while Hong Xintao is transporting 700,000 stone grain, we will also transport 300,000 stone grain, these grains will be transported to Penglai and Fuzhou through the boat, all of which will be transported to Penglai and Fuzhou, and these grains are also very important for the Zheng family army soldiers stationed in Penglai and Fuzhou and other places."

"Someone proposed to transport all the 1.2 million stone grain, this move is inappropriate, we still have to leave some food, at least let the army led by Lord Xiong Wencan and Gonggong Gao have food to eat for a period of time."

"Zheng Jinhong is responsible for the overall command of tomorrow's battle, Liu Zeqing and Hong Xintao are responsible for leading the cavalry battalion to fight, Zheng Kaitao is responsible for commanding the artillery battalion to fight, and Ma Xianglin and Su Congjin are responsible for commanding the Shenji battalion to fight."

"Another point, we already have a lot of prisoners in our hands, don't enter Luoyang Mansion City with a large number of prisoners tomorrow, although we are ready to hand over the prisoners of the Liukou to Lord Xiong Wencan to deal with, but don't let Lord Xiong be too embarrassed." ……

Zheng Xunrui arranged everything with a calm face, and even made detailed arrangements for the Zheng family's soldiers to leave.

It's very rare to have such a relaxed atmosphere when the big war is approaching.

Of course, this stems from Zheng Xunrui's strong self-confidence, he fully believes in the ability of Zheng Jiajun's soldiers, and believes that victory is already within reach.

Although Zheng Jinhong and the others had serious faces, the breath revealed was still relaxed.

Zheng Xunrui will not be arrogant, it is precisely because he has calculated and accurately every step of Li Zicheng that he can make a real strategizing bigger.

Zheng Xunrui has carefully analyzed the liukou under Li Zicheng, all the elites of Li Zicheng have been exhausted in the previous battles, and the possibility of forming a strong army in a short period of time is very small, on the surface, Li Zicheng has an army of 110,000, but the actual combat ability is not necessarily how powerful.

It can be said that the rogues that have been formed today are far inferior to those of the previous ones.

This also gave Zheng Xunrui stronger and greater confidence, believing that this battle will definitely be able to make Li Zicheng suffer a heavy blow, and the golden hook will never forget it for several years. (To be continued......)
