History, perhaps, has been messed up.

The result of the early uprising is that some historical figures have already revolted, and some people who should have achieved supreme deeds have suffered great losses because of the late uprising.

Not to mention anything else, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, two future big men, at least many of the generals under their command have not arrived, and they were even cut off by Zhang Hongbin halfway, and the four famous historical generals Wenchen were dug into their hands by themselves.

It turns out that even a peasant rebel, a historical figure who can become a major general, is not a fool.

After several months of training, Hao Lianzhong, Yuan Zongdi and Feng Shuangli have completely lost the simplicity and simplicity of the peasants, and their eyes have become a little more heroic and wise. In terms of military knowledge, Hao Shaoqi is more inclined to brave generals, Yuan Zongdi is more inclined to generals, and Feng Shuangli is a handsome general.

Brave generals, take the lead in rushing to the front in everything, guide the morale of the whole army with bravery, and lead the army to create one miracle after another; Generals, make good use of the right time and place, not arrogant or impatient, honor and disgrace, the overall situation is only in their control, the soldiers are invincible; The handsome general, the backbone of tens of millions of generals, all things in heaven and earth are in his calculations, all actions are in their sight, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles away.

Perhaps Zhang Hongbin's understanding of these three types of generals is not comprehensive or correct, but he feels that these three people belong to these three types of generals. In terms of level, Hao Shaoqi is comparable to Wang Er in terms of bravery, slightly better than Li Dingguo and Cao Bianjiao by half a chip, but in terms of military strategy and overall view, he is only better than Wang Er, weaker than Li Dingguo and Cao Bianjiao, and weaker than Cao Wenzhao by three points. Among the three, only Feng Shuangli is qualified to compete with Cao Wenzhao, provided that there is enough time for him to grow up.

Yes, the three of them have the potential to become excellent generals, but it is only potential, and how to grow and grow to what is the key. For example, they died under the sniper of the opponent's musket just after they went to the battlefield, so even if they have good potential, they are just a young general who does not enter the stream. In history, not even a small sentence dedicated to it will remain.

The training of the three has been completed, and they are beginning to run in with the soldiers who have just been drafted into the army and have completed their initial training. In the rest of the time, how these soldiers will practice, how to command and command, this is their problem. As long as it does not violate the general outline of the Salvation Army's constitution-like military regulations and the detailed military code, Zhang Hongbin is still very lenient about other things.

At least, there will inevitably be some preferential treatment from the Dragon Minister, and after the establishment of a special professional military school in the later period, the officers who are promoted will not be so lucky.

Finally, there is also Wang Zhaolin, who is a civil servant, but at this moment he has become one of He Ling's deputies, he has a strong ability to govern, he is also very sensitive to numbers, and his learning ability is also very strong. What is rare is that he is already in a high position, but he still has not forgotten to learn, as long as it is the knowledge that is unique to the Salvation Army and not outside, he is like a sponge, very greedy to absorb this knowledge.

In fact, this is also his cleverness, he has seen that the Salvation Army's governing thinking is completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty, and once he wins the country, he is afraid that he will not play the Ming Dynasty again. In other words, if you act according to the office mode and personal ethics of the Ming Dynasty, you can only be eliminated in the end. If you want not to be eliminated, you need to keep learning and learning.

He Ling is a little worse in this regard, perhaps because he is too young to be in a high position, and he has stopped studying. This is not to blame him, a regime is created, many things need him to be responsible, but he is still young, social experience is not rich, he is worried that he will make mistakes, so everything is carefully afraid of making mistakes, which directly leads to the completion of things not only is not efficient, but he also has no extra time to study.

However, this is not an excuse for him to drag the regime back.

Zhang Hongbin saw what everyone was doing, since He Ling was still young and had poor experience, it was best to hone at the grassroots level for a period of time, and then return to the core to work. Especially if he works at the grassroots level, he should also have time to study.

Zhang Hongbin has decided that after a period of time, he will have a special talk with him, and if he is willing, he will delegate, and if he is unwilling, he will continue to work. But if it is a bad review during the evaluation, then the person who should be fired will still be expelled, which is nothing to discuss.

Administrative law enforcement can not be a family, it is related to the food and clothing and even survival of tens of millions of people, and there is no room for loss!

Xu Guangqi was scolded by Zhang Hongbin, and he didn't know what he thought, but he actually flipped through the Confucian classics. After reading it for a few days, it vaguely indicated that the predecessors may have modified Confucian scholarship in the direction of favoring the emperor in order to gain the support of the emperor. But if this is not the case, how can Confucianism exist, and how can the emperor control the people?

In the past, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, a sentence of 'the prince will be Xiang Ning has a kind of', overturned the Chinese blood aristocracy, which makes if the emperor does not have a means to control and suppress the thoughts of the people, then under the call of this sentence, even in the era of prosperity and peace, there will be people who stand up and try to subvert the regime.

Confucianism is the means used by the emperors of later generations, fooling the people, so that the people only know life and only know labor, and other than that, they do not leave any room for thinking, so naturally they will not think of that sentence, and naturally obediently be their obedient people.

It's just that the side effects are still a little bigger......

Xu Guangqi's point of view, since Zhang Hongbin has already divided one side and become a warlord, he can't say that he will be called the king and emperor in the future, if he doesn't rely on such a doctrine and such a means when the time comes, how can he control the people under his command? I am obviously a bald man, what qualifications do I have to laugh at a monk?!

But Xu Guangqi did not do nothing, he combined his own Western thoughts, as well as his own understanding of Confucianism, and even added Zhang Hongbin's explanation and evaluation of Shunmin, and decided to study a kind of Confucianism of the mean. At the same time as fooling the people, tell them what is the nation and what is the country. And if this idea really appears, the most beneficial should be the Ming Dynasty, after all, if the people of the Ming Dynasty know and understand this idea in depth, the result is that the obstacles to the external attack of the Liukou and even the Salvation Army will be increased several times.

Xu Guangqi is still bright-minded...... The sun and the moon change, and this heart does not change.

It's just that now, what Zhang Hongbin needs to worry about is not this, but the guest in front of him, the guest who came to Chang'an through professional diplomatic channels.

The appearance is no different from the Han people, there is no appearance of ethnic minorities at all, at most there are some characteristics of northern men. But the top of his head was a bald scoop, or a small braid on the cover of the heavenly spirit. Yes, the copper coin rat tail, you must wear the money eye of the copper coin to be qualified, otherwise you will be beheaded.

In this era, there is only one force that will be dressed like this, and that is Houjin. However, it must be known that he did not have the physical characteristics of a Manchu, which means that he was not a Manchu himself, and it is very likely that he was a captive or Han Chinese who originally lived in Liaodong, and finally took refuge in the Manchus. The so-called Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty formed in the later period of the Manchus were actually formed by these traitors who surrendered to them.

Ironically, when the Houjin slaughtered and surrendered, he surrendered decisively, but when he slaughtered his own people, he was not soft at all, and he didn't care about the feelings of his compatriots at all.

The envoy of Houjin, I don't know what means he used, came all the way to Xi'an Mansion, and actually came to him in front of him as a diplomatic envoy. According to Zhang Hongbin's heart, he did not want to receive such a messenger. But Wang Zhaolin and Liu Ru both said the same sentence: "What we lack most at this stage is friends, and at the same time we have common enemies." ”

Zhang Hongbin wanted to say: "Daming is Daming, and Waiyi is Waiyi." In the face of the invasion of the foreign yi, even if it is a two-front battle, it cannot be cheapened by the foreign yi. But he also knows that this kind of big talk must be based on his absolute initiative and strength.

The Salvation Army currently occupies the land of the four provinces of Shaanxi, strictly speaking, half of Shaanxi. And the Ming Dynasty is still so huge, it may be very exhausting to deal with it alone, if the Houjin and Mongolia directly enter the customs from the north to kill, then it will not be so easy to deal with. Furthermore, be friendly to Da Ming directly, Da Ming may not be merciful to his subordinates, if it is really Hou Jin to go south, maybe there will be Da Ming in the force that stabs him in the back.

"I have very little time, to make a long story short, polite words are not necessary, I want to know what you need and what you can pay for. And what we need to do, well, you can talk! Zhang Hongbin ignored the envoy's visit, and just said casually.

The envoy was stunned for a moment, obviously a little uncomfortable with Zhang Hongbin's style, and then reacted, there was no difference between the so-called King of the Mountain in front of him, and he was stunned with high eyes. I don't know Houjin's combat effectiveness, otherwise I'm afraid that it won't be so tough.

But at this moment, he is not here to make friends, but to make friends.

"The villain Luo Fu, favored by the master, gave the surname Niu Kulu, and raised the blue flag to listen to it. This time I went south, just ordered to make friends with the big boss, and the two sides will be closer and closer in the future, and I want to use each other when both sides can use each other! Luo Fu relied on the Manchu master as a backer, but he was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Remember, if I ask, say what I want to hear, and the rest can be nonsense." Zhang Hongbin waved his hand.

"An alliance, five thousand horses, three thousand ploughing oxen, and thirty thousand sheep, this is the gift of an alliance. As a price, it is hoped that the Salvation Army can conquer the whole of Shaanxi within half a year. At the same time, you can open the border market! Luo Fu didn't talk nonsense, just got straight to the point.

"I can take Shaanxi within half a year, and I am also very satisfied with your gift. The border market can be open, but the power to sell what not to sell is with me. Of course, I still have a good batch of goods here, I don't know if you are interested? Zhang Hongbin thought about it and gave a reply.

"This is not possible, at least iron ingots, tea and salt must be there, otherwise the basic conditions for the alliance will not be met. As for the goods of the big boss, I heard that there are a lot of good things in Shaanxi, and even the rich Jiangnan may not have them, if the price is right, Luo will also buy a batch and try to sell it, if it is popular, it will naturally be traded for a long time. Luo Fu replied decisively.

"You can have these three types of materials, but it's up to me to decide how much you can trade each year. Don't ask why, iron ingots are also lacking in us. A lot of buildings, a lot of equipment, and even a lot of weapons require iron, and I won't sell them in large quantities until my needs are met, you have to understand that. Zhang Hongbin said undoubtedly.

"That's fine, but the amount of tea is table salt must be enough, otherwise I won't be able to go back and explain." Luo Fu thought for a moment and nodded and said.

"These two points will naturally not be missing from you!" Zhang Hongbin laughed.

There are enough goods in the tea space, all of which are copycats, with a lot of spices added, and they are also dyed. If this kind of thing is not afraid of eating and damaging the body, Zhang Hongbin minds selling it in large quantities. As for salt, supermarkets also have it, but in order to maximize profits, Zhang Hongbin doesn't mind learning the habit of selling salt in the Ming Dynasty, mixing a certain percentage of sand and gravel into it. Don't complain about anything, the rate is much less than that of the official Ming Dynasty, plus it is refined salt, so you won't suffer.

The two sides simply reached a preliminary cooperation intention, and Luo Fu knew that Zhang Hongbin would not wait to see him, so he took his leave after getting the secret agreement.

Thinking back to the materials promised by Luo Fu, Zhang Hongbin couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, the ally is still necessary at a certain time, no matter who the other party is. At least, Daming will not give them any horses, cattle and sheep, especially excellent war horses. And this, Houjin and Mongolia can give themselves.

Let's just be false and wronged for a while!
