Half a month later, in Gongchang Mansion, Shaanxi, near Panzun Mountain in the southwest of Qinzhou, Li Zicheng led 600 Li family troops to operate here. Under the leadership of Xu Xiake, choose a suitable zone in Panzuka Mountain and open up a new base.

At this moment, the brigade of people and horses is like wandering lonely ghosts, shuttling through the woods of Panzuka Mountain. Xu Xiake and Li Zicheng walked side by side and walked at the front of the team. Xu Xiake had already guessed Li Zicheng's overall plan, and knew that he wanted to establish as many secret bases as possible in the whole of Shaanxi and secretly develop his strength.

The longer the contact lasts, the more Xu Xiake admires Li Zicheng, this boss is not like other rebel armies, blatantly attacking cities and conquering places, occupying some important places, just for a moment of pleasure, enmity and pleasure, but also unrestrained development strength, I don't understand the truth that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng!

Li Zicheng is completely different, while being happy with enmity, he knows how to weaken his strength and reduce the attention of the imperial court. For a long time, the number of troops exposed to the surface has only been about two or three thousand, and in recent months it has remained at about one thousand.

Therefore, although Li Jiajun was very active, attacked many towns and counties, and was well known to the common people for robbing the rich and helping the poor, it was not encircled and suppressed by the officials and troops, and was regarded as a bandit who committed crimes.

While walking, thinking of the news he has gotten these days, Xu Xiake can't help but secretly look at Li Zicheng, this boss is too expected~! The timing was just right, and after making such a big move in Xi'an Mansion, he quickly evacuated and stayed away from the imminent center of the whirlpool.

At the beginning of February, twenty days ago, Huang Taiji had evacuated the city of Beijing, and the crisis of the Ming Dynasty was lifted. Although the reinforcements from all walks of life followed the Jin army, they took the opportunity to recover the lost state capitals in Guannai. However, there is no doubt that within three or two months, the Houjin army will definitely retreat outside the Guanwai, and the crisis of the Ming Dynasty will be completely lifted for the time being!

When the time comes, Emperor Chongzhen is no longer in danger, then he will turn around and suppress the rebellion in Shaanxi, and the rebel army between Shaanxi and Shaanxi will inevitably bear the brunt, followed by all the way to the west and spread throughout Shaanxi.

The boss's move to the west can well avoid confrontation with the main force of the official army. While preserving your strength, you can secretly establish a sphere of influence and accumulate strength for the future banner of righteousness!

Soon, Li Jiajun stopped, and every soldier was busy, and began to clear the grass and woods, and open up the foundation of the base village, just like the Zhongnan Mountain base area.

Li Zicheng looked at this scene quietly with a slight smile on his face, Xu Xiake stood next to him, and said in a harmonious voice: "Boss, I don't know if I should say a sentence or not?" ”

Li Zicheng was in a very good mood, and in less than half a month, the foundation of Zhongnanshan had begun to take shape, with a total population of more than 5,000 people, far exceeding his expectations. At this moment, Li Zicheng was still immersed in this sense of accomplishment, glanced back at Xu Xiake, and said loudly: "Mr. Xu, we have been together for so long, don't you still know what I Li Zicheng is like?" If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

"Boss, as there are more and more bases, more and more managers will be needed. It is impossible to call Li Changmao all the way over every time a base is established. Not to mention this time-consuming and labor-intensive, Li Changmao is also weak, and it is impossible to take care of them all. ”

As soon as these words came out, they were deafening, and pulled Li Zicheng back to reason from his pride, and he couldn't help but think deeply and reminisce about what Xu Xiake said. Yes, it is impossible for Li Changmao to manage all the base areas alone, and it is the limit to control the base areas near Taihua Mountain and Zhongnan Mountain at the same time. After all, although the area and population of the base area are not large, they are very scattered, and the key is not yet to be exposed!

For a long time, where has Li Zicheng's main energy been to establish a base? How to strengthen the Li family's army, dismember it, and disperse it into base areas.

However, Li Zicheng overlooked a crucial issue, and that was the management of the base area. The person in charge of the army in the base area is very easy to handle, and it is enough to directly arrange a subordinate cadre. However, the management personnel of daily affairs are different, and they must be educated people, who must not only know how to manage money and food, but also manage the daily affairs of the base areas in an orderly manner, so that the people in the base areas can live and work in peace and contentment.

Such managers must not only be able to read and write, but also have the ability to manage a village or a county. Managing a huge base area is also a test of patience, after all, daily affairs are complicated, and care and patience are most needed.

Moreover, from beginning to end, Li Zicheng never thought of putting the administrative and military power in the hands of one person, and the base area must be a situation where two or three powers are combined, so as to facilitate his control over the base area!

As soon as he thought of this, Li Zicheng became more aware of the urgent need and urgency for the literati!

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng sobered up from his deep thought, looked at Xu Xiake, and asked sincerely: "Mr. Xu, I really don't have a good way, where can I find a large number of literati with the ability to manage the daily affairs of the base area. ”

Since this question was raised, Xu Xiake must have a solution, and when he heard Li Zicheng's inquiry, he asked instead of answering: "Boss, when you were in Nanjing during your trip to Jiangnan a year ago, do you still remember the Fushe mentioned by your subordinates?" ”

"Well, I still remember that the Fushe is an organization for literati and writers to learn from each other, and the Baguwen occupies the main topic, and most of the members are descendants of the Donglin Party, and from time to time they will discuss national affairs." Li Zicheng nodded, his expression was very calm, and he didn't understand what Xu Xiake meant.

"Boss, you're right, this is indeed the case with the Restoration Society. However, you have overlooked the fact that the Fushe has almost all the world's talents, including literati with certain attainments in all aspects, among which there are many celebrities and wise men, and they only know Baguwen. ”

Xu Xiake paused, and in order to be more clear about his meaning and increase his convincingness, he immediately mentioned a few people.

Like Wu Yingji, one of the leaders of the Fushe Society, although he was a literati, he was a strong backbone, arrogant, arrogant, persistent, frank and outspoken, quick-witted, and unique in his opinions, and he was often able to see the key points of the current situation. With the heart of Kuang Fu Sheji, he has the responsibility of saving the people from fire and water. ”

"There is also Fang Yizhi, one of the four sons, don't look at the young age of only nineteen years old, but he is familiar with the subset of scriptures and history, has a talent for sophistry, and also understands Western learning, and Song Yingxing is proficient in those mechanical principles, he also learns both."

"Wang Yuyou, not only a literati and ink writer, but also knows how to arrange troops, and learned the art of war from Sun Qifeng in his early years."

"Xue Fengzuo, only twenty years old, knows the astronomical calendar, is proficient in mathematics, and is familiar with both Chinese and Western calendar calculations. When he was an adult, he traveled all over the world, made friends with people of insight, discussed mathematics with Westerners, and studied the principles of mechanical operation. ”

......

One by one, young and promising celebrities and celebrities popped up, and Xu Xiake was like a few treasures, and he opened his mouth to come out. I saw that Li Zicheng attached great importance to Song Yingxing, especially this old friend's talents in astronomical calendar, agriculture and machinery. When Xu Xiake introduced the members of the Restoration Society, the focus was on talents who were proficient in firearms, machinery, astronomical calendars, and so on.

At the beginning, Li Zicheng only nodded slightly when he listened, and he didn't pay much attention to it. However, Xu Xiake's subsequent narration hit his heart, not only did his mind come to mind, but the light in his eyes shot out frequently, crystal flowing, and his mind began to become active.

If he can control the Fushe, then he will be able to recruit talents from all over the world, especially literati in the natural sciences.

For example, literati such as Fang Yizhi, although they are young, have great potential for development. If this kind of people are recruited into the command, then the research and development and manufacturing of firearms will reach a new height!

There is also Xue Fengzuo, with such a talent, even if he marches rapidly at night and stargazes and positioning, he can reach his destination without getting lost. Moreover, if you are proficient in mathematics, the grain and silver of the army will have an account manager, and the income and expenditure can be detailed and planned.

A talent like Wu Yingji can completely help him take care of the base area. With an upright personality and sympathy for the hardships of the people, it is impossible for him to be in the same league as those in charge of the army!

The more Li Zicheng thought about it, the more excited he became, he became open-eyed and smiled, and began to secretly think in his heart, how to win the Fushe, so as to dig up those literati and use them for his own use!

However, after a while, Li Zicheng had no clue, his brows furrowed, and then he looked at Xu Xiake: "Mr. Xu, I understand what you mean." However, what should I do to control the Restoration Society and use the talented people in it to my advantage? ”

"Boss, in the second half of this year, there will be a Jinling Conference in the Restoration Society, as long as you can make a splash and gain the recognition of the literati, although you can't control the Restoration Society, you can also get a place and recruit some talents. Over time, we can slowly figure it out and dig up talents from it little by little. Anyway, we don't have many bases, and it's not the time when we are in dire need of people to manage. ”

Hearing this, Li Zicheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Xu Xiake meant, this is to let himself imitate the trip to Jiangnan a year ago, and make a tirade, so as to deter the crowd, win like-minded people, and absorb talents.
