Outside the Fucheng Gate, in Li Zicheng's tent, the leaders of the other rebel armies and many henchmen gathered, both of whom stood on both sides, faintly showing the meaning of stalemate and confrontation, but they were all quietly listening to Li Zicheng's passionate and solemn instructions.

"Leaders, although most of the personnel have arrived, it is not the best time to start, you might as well make a siege frame, intimidate the officers and soldiers defending the city, and bring it to the time when all the people behind it are ready, it is the time for us to act......"

Listening to Li Zicheng's narration, those henchmen thought it was true, but most of the leaders of the rebel army were unimpressed, wishing for such an arrangement, their expressions were still as usual, and they did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction, for Li Zicheng's appearance of leading everyone.

Although the army has gathered five or six hundred thousand people, the combined strength of their rebel army is less than 200,000, which is far from being comparable with the Li family's army.

Therefore, despite their other intentions and dissatisfaction, many leaders of the rebel army still had to be patient, honestly listened to Li Zicheng's arrangement, and could only do some tricks in the siege.

The leaders of many rebel armies left, leaving Li Zicheng and his henchmen, senior generals in the Li family's army.

"Boss, the last general really doesn't understand, why not take this opportunity to try to consume the strength of these ill-intentioned rebel troops when attacking the Jingshi?" Liu Fangliang's face was full of doubts, and he looked straight at Li Zicheng, quite like he didn't give up if he couldn't get an answer.

Li Zicheng smiled indifferently, did not have the intention of concealing it, and did not answer Liu Fangliang immediately, but looked around for a while, and saw that everyone was similar to Liu Fangliang's expression, so he slowly explained: "I understand that the officers and troops in the Beijing Division are no longer to worry, and our biggest hidden danger now comes from the inside, and those leaders with different hearts are the biggest destabilizing factors." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zicheng paused, and suddenly turned to ask: "It's easy to get rid of those leaders, but have you ever thought about it?" It is indeed very easy to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the capital division and consume the strength of those rebel armies, and the leaders of those rebel armies have to do so according to our intentions and take the lead in storming the capital. ”

"However, there are more than 10 million rebels in the world who have solved these things in front of them, but what about the others?"

In an instant, when the others were still reminiscing about Li Zicheng's words, Gu Junen was the first to react, with a sudden look on his face, and couldn't help but reply: "Once the rebel army that joined us lost seventy-seven eighty-eight, and most of the leaders of the rebel army were killed or wounded, there will definitely be people with ill intentions who will add fuel to the fire and spread rumors, saying that our Li Jiajun is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others." ”

"At that time, once this kind of rumor is full of rumors and is well known to the world, I am afraid that it will cause a strong backlash from many rebel armies in the south and resist our Li Jiajun. If they are forced to unite with the officials and troops in the south, even if we can finally take all parts of Jiangnan in one fell swoop, we will pay a heavy price. ”

Immediately afterwards, Niu Jinxing, who was dressed elegantly, stood up, nodded slightly, and at the same time, echoed loudly: "Yes, once the topic of deliberately targeting other rebel armies is caused, it will inevitably be very unfavorable to our Li family's army going south in the future." ”

Niu Jinxing's words were also paused, and he muttered for a moment, and then slowly continued: "Hmm... Although the leaders of the rebel army were ambitious and unwilling to be subservient, the soldiers of the rebel army were very simple, thinking only of being able to live a good life and stutter. As long as we overthrow the rotten imperial court, establish a new state, carry out all the policies for the benefit of the people, and create an atmosphere in which the cultivators have their own land, even if those leaders have the intention to rebel and confront us, their subordinates may not be willing to follow suit. ”

After Niu Jinxing finished speaking, Song Xiance, who was short in stature, also said approvingly: "Among the many rebel armies, seven or eight out of ten are farmers, as long as they can share the land and live a decent life, how many people are willing to risk their lives to rebel?" ”

......

When everyone said a word, Li Zicheng's mind was full of other thoughts, and the "Li Zicheng" in history that he knew, the emperor was driven out of Beijing by Dolgon and died in Jiugong Mountain.

Although there are many reasons why Wu Sangui was not able to recruit, the main reason is because of internal strife, he beheaded himself again and again, not only killed many of his fierce generals, such as Li Xin, Li Mou and others, but also took the opportunity to slaughter Luo Rucai, Ge Liyan and other leaders of the rebel army, causing the rebel army to be separated from morality and unable to work together to resist the Qing army.

Of course, after entering Beijing, the Dashun army's greed for pleasure and the loss of popular support were also a big factor.

Thinking of it, gradually, Li Zicheng's eyes were full of light, flickering, and secretly made up his mind that he would never repeat the mistake of "Li Zicheng" in history!

Immediately, Li Zicheng sobered up from his mind, his face was solemn, and he interrupted everyone's speech in a deep voice.

"Be quiet!"

In an instant, the big tent suddenly fell silent, and many eyes were all focused on Li Zicheng, who said in a sonorous voice: "Here, I declare one point, after breaking through the capital, we must strictly abide by military discipline, if anyone dares to disturb the people and wantonly loot in the city, they will be severely punished!" ”

Everyone's reactions were different, like Li Xin and others, they were all relieved and full of relief, although some generals nodded frequently, and the answers were sonorous and powerful, but their minds were lively, and they were lucky.

However, Li Zicheng's voice did not stop, but instead raised a few points, pushing an inexplicable atmosphere to the peak.

"Whoever violates military rules and harms the lives of the people shall be killed; Robbery of property in the city shall be punished by military law, and those who cause heavy losses shall be killed; Whoever captivates the women of the people, kills; Those who do not obey military orders and act without authorization will be killed......"

The word "kill" one by one, like a sudden thunder in the sky, exploded in everyone's ears, and those who were lucky then put away their greed and had to take it seriously, deeply realizing that the boss was not joking, after breaking through the capital, the military regulations will be implemented more severely!

If anyone defends the law, it is useless for anyone to intercede.

At this time, Liu Zongmin interrupted Li Zicheng's speech and asked, "Boss, what if other rebel troops burned and looted in the city?" Do you want to enforce military regulations too? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's voices were immediately asked.

For a while, the atmosphere in the big tent became strange, not only because Liu Zongmin's performance was a little rude and he interrupted the boss's speech politely, but also because everyone wanted to know very much, how would Li Zicheng answer?

After all, if it is certain, with the unfettered habits of the other rebels, many will be beheaded; If it is negative, military regulations are the same as waste paper.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as Liu Zongmin's words fell, Li Zicheng did not hesitate and replied categorically: "Of course! ”

As soon as he said that, he seemed to think of something, and Li Zicheng further added: "Since they have joined the Li family's army, they must accept the military regulations and discipline of the Li family's army. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zicheng paused, turned to look at Gu Junen, and said loudly: "Strategist, after a while, you go and talk to those leaders separately, and convey my meaning to them euphemistically, so as not to say that we are targeting them without saying hello in advance." ”

"Yes, Boss!"
