8-16 Zuo Dashuai's thoughts
At this time, the team of the disaster relief in Nanjing also began to move, five hundred red-shirted regiments wearing forbidden army uniforms, elite soldiers all rode war horses, wore rubber raincoats, and stood quietly in the south school field, the emperor braved the rain to see him off in person, Liu Ziguang wore the robes of ordinary generals and stood behind Hou Sui, this time he traveled to Wuchang, his disguised identity was Hou Sui's guard captain, and his real identity was also the envoy of Qincha, but the will of his leadership was the governor of Huguang, Fujian, Yungui, and military affairs, if the task of Zuo Liangyu was solved, then the semi-independent King Ning in Jiangxi could be solved.
Hou Sui and Liu Ziguang have a deep hatred, but for the sake of righteousness, he still chose to cooperate, Hou Sui, many years ago as the governor of Changping, when Zuo Liangyu was a general under him, and was promoted to a deputy general by Hou Sui, this began to soar, although Zuo Liangyu is a martial artist, but very important, when Hou Sui is at home, every festival Zuo Liangyu has to send someone to send money and goods, for this old subordinate Hou Sui is very understanding, so specially wrote a profile of Zuo Liangyu to Liu Ziguang, the old man Hou is unwilling to talk to Liu Ziguang, Liu Ziguang is too lazy to pay attention to him, they are not in harmony with Zhu Youxiao is known, but this errand has to be joined forces, so before leaving, the emperor also talked to the two of themLet them work together.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will definitely live up to the trust." Hou Sui and Liu Ziguang expressed their stance together, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction, and asked Wei Zhongxian to bring the imperial wine to them in person, and it was of great significance to go to Wuchang, it was the first shot to unify the Ming Dynasty, if it could be successfully resolved, Zuo Liangyu, and other separatist forces would definitely fall to the wind, Liu Ziguang and Hou Sui naturally understood the importance of this, and solemnly drank the imperial wine.
The convoy gradually went west under the eyes of the emperor and the ministers, and a smile appeared on Wei Zhongxian's face, this may be the last time he saw Liu Ziguang, and Zuo Liangyu, who got the information, would definitely not be polite to the people who came to kill him...... How did Wei Zhongxian know that the messenger he sent was buried in the mud on the outskirts of Wuhu at this time.
The rain was still falling, Liu Ziguang hid in the carriage, lay on the comfortable leather cushion, and left his family to go on the expedition again, this feeling was not good, especially when Zeng Cheng was already pregnant, which made Liu Ziguang feel guilty, but for the great cause of the nation, he had to give up the warmth of the family, Huguang is the heartland of China, and he must not be independent, as the first general of the Ming Dynasty, he must stand up and shoulder this burden.
Think about it, when he left home in the morning, Zeng Cheng stuffed a package of flatbread and a dozen salted duck eggs that had been baked overnight to himself, and told him that he must be careful on the way, Liu Ziguang felt that his nose was sour, the future of this trip to Huguang was uncertain, if he couldn't come back when the child was born, it would be too sorry for Zeng Cheng, alas, it is better to study Zuo Liangyu and strive to complete the task as soon as possible, go home early.
The rain outside the car window is still falling, Liu Ziguang took out the piece of paper written by Hou Sui, read it again, Zuo Liangyu is only forty years old this year, in the prime of life, although he has not read, but his mind is very flexible, and his martial arts are also very good, and he is good at using a Zhangba snake spear, and he is still good at bows and arrows, which can start work left and right, and the arrows are not false, and he can wear Yang in a hundred steps.
Part of his army came from the border army outside the Guan, and part came from the Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Henan bandit armies, and the military discipline was very corrupt, but the combat effectiveness was very strong, and he also had a group of high-quality generals under him, ruling the land of Huguang for him.
Zuo Liangyu did not have the official right to rule the land of Huguang, he was just a thief, and he arrived in Wuchang by the way, and was stationed here, which is regarded as a guest army, and the governor of Huguang officially appointed by the imperial court is He Tengjiao, a capable minister, but in the troubled times, the gun is the truth, no matter how big He Tengjiao's ability, he can't fight Zuo Liangyu's army, so Xun was put under house arrest, and even the king of Chu who was sealed in Wuchang had to be polite to Zuo Liangyu, this Huguang on this territory, Zuo Dashuai is the emperor of the soil, although he is illiterate, but he advocates advanced technology, so Huguang is more than other provinces under his governance, the steam ships of Wuchang shipyards are rampant, the Yangtze River is invincible, Wuchang to Ezhou, Daye and other places have also built railwaysIn order to transport iron ore and coal, the armor weapons of the left army were also relatively advanced among the warlords, and the armor rate was even higher than that of the forbidden army.
Thinking of Zuo Liangyu's 100,000 army, Liu Ziguang just smiled lightly, his five hundred red-shirted cavalry were equipped with the most advanced weapons of the 6th war, and due to meteorological reasons, he could not use the sailors and airship troops, so he armed these five hundred people to the teeth as much as possible, each of them was equipped with the firing pin, thunder, mercury, firecracker, combat firebolt that has not yet been officially installed, the combat shooting is high, powerful, and one gun can penetrate the thickest armor, in addition to the long gun, each person also has a short gun, a bayonet that can be mounted on the fire, and a dagger as a cover, the red tassel gun, machete, bow and arrow are also equipped with a lot, as well as the secret weapon hidden in the carriage, the eight-pound cannon, which has never been put into use, and the gunpowder-powered cannon is comparable to steamThe steam cannon is much more powerful, the fire is high, the power is great, it does not need fuel, it is mobile and flexible, and it is simply an infantry killer with live ammunition, and no matter how strong the city tower is, it is scum.
One of your gentle clicks warms my code word life on 617k literature network to support the genuine "Iron Age".
In the face of such a cross-era powerful force, how could Zuo Liangyu's peasant armed forces be an opponent, and the 100,000 army had to be divided into Huguang, and it was difficult to assemble in various parts of Huguang, even if there were 10,000 or 20,000 people in Wuchang City, even if it was good, if Zuo Liangyu could not be killed, he might not be able to fall behind if he officially started the battle twice.
Thinking of this, Liu Ziguang's heart was a little calmer, there was no reason to talk about such a separatist warlord, and only force was the only feasible way to solve it.
In the official residence of Wuchang Ping Thief General Prince Shaobao Zuo Liangyu, a red-faced man was practicing opening a hard bow, and the hard bow of six stones was pulled around like a noodle in his hand, and the soldiers watching on the side applauded one after another, and the red-faced man actually pulled the hard bow off with all his might, and everyone praised loudly, and took a towel to wipe his sweat, of course, it was not tired, but because the weather in Wuchang was really hot, and he would sweat profusely if he sat still。
"How is this handsome compared to Liu Ziguang, who is known as the first fierce general of the Ming Dynasty?" The red-faced man asked his subordinates reservedly.
"Zuo Shuai is heroic and undefeated, in fact, he is a child like him, I heard that his deeds are blown out by Mr. Storyteller, this guy is just relying on marrying the emperor's sister to be a marquis, and he is really talking about martial arts, ten Liu Ziguang is not enough, Zuo Shuai is not enough." The pro-soldiers are very strong in slapping horses and whiskers, and they like to hear Zuo Liangyu say such things, they can listen to Zuo Dashuai ask every day, which shows the importance of this Liu Ziguang's position in Dashuai's heart.
"A bunch of sycophants." Zuo Liangyu snorted twice, looked at the gloomy sky and said, "I really want to compete with him if I have a chance...... Zuo Liangyu can be called a hero in troubled times, he was brought up by his uncle since he was a child, and he practiced a good martial arts, coupled with his tall stature and superior arm strength, he was quickly promoted from a small soldier to the right battalion after joining the army, and later because of the army's salary, he was implicated and dismissed, thanks to the boss of the year, Hou Sui appreciated him, and promoted him from the travelogue to the deputy general, since then he has entered the rising period of his career, and there are more and more soldiers under him, and the battles are more and more smooth, and he has come to the rich land of Huguang, which is to take root.
Zuo Liangyu is illiterate, but he likes to listen to the Three Kingdoms, he has literate soldiers around him at any time, read the Three Kingdoms to him in his spare time, he admires the Three Kingdoms character the most, is Cao Cao, and has been following Cao Cao's practice, he recruits heroes and strategists all over the world, and does not refuse, whether it is really talented or false, he will be treated with heart, and a few times he deliberately did not wear shoes and ran out of the house to receive visitors, this practice also frightened a lot of people, Hunan multi-talented Zuo Liangyu, this large-scale solicitation action can always net a few big fish, and there are many insightful masters among his advisers.
Zuo Liangyu has always thought that the current situation is similar to the Three Kingdoms period, it is a good time for him to show up, he imitates Taizu, accumulates grain, does not call the king, and follows Cao Cao, holding the king of Chu tightly in his hands, waiting for the day to lead the army south to overthrow the current imperial court, the puppet in his hand, the king of Chu on the throne, and he can be the regent himself, and then he can wait until the time is ripe to do a Zen, so that he can justifiably ascend the throne and the country name, he has thought about it, and called Dawei.
Zuo Liangyu's official title is only an unknown general of the thief, the real rule of Huguang is the governor He Tengjiao, this is only seven years older than himself in Guizhou, is indeed a respectable person, he was born in a scholarly family, poor background, with the support of his neighbors, he was admitted to the county order of several counties in Shaanxi, Henan, and was regarded as a step by step from the grassroots level, when the thieves were rampant, he once personally rode alone to pacify the enemy, so that the four realms were safe, and he was well-known.
Later, he was promoted by the imperial court to serve as the head of the military department and was promoted to a foreign officer. He has successively served as a Confucian general in Shanxi Koubei Bing Beidao, Hubei Yunyang Bing Beidao, Huaixu Bing Beidao, etc., and he has been in office for all of them
"Talented and sensitive" is known for being honest, diligent and loving the people. After Zuo Liangyu entered Huguang, the imperial court worshiped He Tengjiao as the governor of Huguang in order to control him, and some people were afraid that He Tengjiao would be assassinated by Zuo Liangyu, and persuaded him not to go, He Tengjiao said: The state raised officials and set up officials to save the danger and should make immortal contributions for thousands of years; Is it the responsibility of the ministers to steal life and fear death today?
He generously went to work. Zuo Liangyu admired his personality and admired his talent, so he just sent troops to monitor his residence and did not hurt him, and Zuo Dashuai also hoped that one day He Tengjiao could be his prime minister.
