Li Zicheng smiled faintly, his face was filled with a shallow look of pride, and then he said slowly: "See Xiu, in the past, every time we captured a city, the usual way was to seize the treasury and silver of the government, rob the rich and help the poor in the city, and solve those bullies in the township. Secondly, it is to fight local tyrants and divide the land in the surrounding villages of the county seat, so that the people's lives are a little better. ”

Tian Jianxiu nodded frequently when he heard this, and was very patient, and did not continue to ask the question just now, but asked in agreement: "Yes, boss, is there anything wrong with it?" After all the above actions, our Li Jiajun has accumulated a high popularity in Shaanxi and Shanxi, and has been recognized by the people. ”

"See, there's nothing wrong with it. What I want to say is, after we have done these things, we will rush away, don't you think something is missing? ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zicheng showed a meaningful look and looked straight at Tian Jianxiu.

Tian Jianxiu frowned, Li Zicheng sold this pass, confused it. Scratching his head, thinking for a moment, he finally shook his head and replied puzzledly: "Boss, I can't guess what kind of medicine you sell in the gourd?" You'd better get it straight. ”

Li Zicheng smiled, the smug color on his face became more and more intense, and then his face turned pale, and he said solemnly: "See Xiu, in the past, we did a lot of good things to break through the city, and accumulated a lot of public opinion. However, after doing those things, we walked away, leaving no behind. ”

"You should know that our Li Jiajun is different from the rebel troops of Wang Ziyong and others, and they only have the intention of robbing homes and houses, and the rebellion is just to loot the county seat, trying to be quick for a while. Jianxiu, you should firmly remember that we have a more majestic and clear goal, that is, to overthrow the imperial court and establish a imperial court that belongs to us and the people of the world. Therefore, no matter which city it is, before we talk about the overthrow of the Ming Court, we will have several patronages. ”

Gradually, with Li Zicheng's narration, Tian Jianxiu had a hint of enlightenment, but he still didn't guess what Li Zicheng meant, so he was almost lost, as long as he pierced the layer of window paper, he completely understood.

"Boss, what do you mean?"

With the foreshadowing in front, seeing that Tian Jianxiu listened carefully, and hearing Tian Jianxiu's question again, Li Zicheng did not beat around the bush anymore and began to go straight to the topic.

At this moment, Li Zicheng knew that the time was ripe, and when Tian Jianxiu heard the next order, he would do his best to carry it out, and he would not slack off at all because there were intelligence officers lurking in the city. I will also draw inferences from others and refine my ideas

"Jianxiu, what I mean is very simple, that is, in addition to the latent intelligence officers, starting from Xiuwu City, every time we capture a city, we will arrange a group of people to lurk and live in the city like ordinary people, and their task is to guard the weapons we left behind."

In an instant, Tian Jianxiu suddenly realized, not only his eyes lit up, but a surging meaning appeared in his chest, and then said: "Boss, I understand, you want to leave a batch of weapons and bury them." And these weapons are guarded by these people. The reason why we do this is to wait for one day in the future, when we pull up the banner of overthrowing the Ming court, and when the soldiers come to the city, these weapons can be used as internal capital. ”

"Yes, that's what I meant." Li Zicheng nodded heavily, responded loudly, and then added: "In the future, no matter when, once the Li family's army comes to the city again, no matter which city it is, it will only become stricter if it has been lost." It may be easy for people to get in, but it is not easy to carry weapons or smuggle weapons into the city in large quantities, not to say that it is difficult to reach the sky. Therefore, with this batch of weapons, as long as our people blend into the city and cooperate with the troops outside the city, we can easily capture a city gate. ”

At this moment, as the topic deepened, Tian Jianxiu thought a lot, and such a scene came to mind, as long as the army pressed the border, focus on attacking a city gate. If there are hundreds or thousands of people in the city as internal responses, armed with weapons, with their cooperation, it is not easy to break through a city!

As soon as he thought of this, Tian Jianxiu thought it was true, and at the same time, he nodded lightly, and said loudly: "Boss, I understand, my subordinates will carefully select from those brothers who are based with our soldiers, and choose the right people, which are extremely reliable, and let them be stationed in the city and guard these weapons for future troubles." ”

Speaking of this, Tian Jianxiu suddenly stopped, and asked instead: "Boss, the matter of candidates is easy to handle." But boss, how many weapons do you think we have left? Also, where does the brother who stayed behind live so as not to attract attention and suspicion? ”

Li Zicheng's brows furrowed slightly, then he stretched out, returned to his usual color, and did not immediately answer Tian Jianxiu's question, but stroked his chin and listened to the other party's analysis.

"Look, boss, no matter how many weapons are left. However, the number is never too small, at least more than five hundred. With so many weapons, it is impossible to hoard them in the room, that would be too risky. Moreover, even if it is buried in the ground, it cannot be too long. Otherwise, it is easy to rust and become scrap metal. ”

"Also, the dwelling place of those who remain should not be too obvious, preferably in a lower middle dwelling. However, although Xiuwu City has survived this battle, there are fires raging, and some people cannot return. However, it is obviously unwise to live directly in some private houses, and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others and be discovered by people with intentions, especially those minions of the imperial court, Jinyiwei. ”

Li Zicheng listened attentively, and as the questions were listed, his expression remained as usual, without the slightest flustery. As soon as Tian Jianxiu finished speaking, Li Zicheng seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "By the way, Jianxiu, after the stability of Xiuwu City, the previous order has been restored, do you pay attention to the pawnshops and money houses in the city?" ”

With just this reminder, Tian Jianxiu reacted quickly, thought of the same thing, and couldn't help but interject: "Boss, do you mean that after we sell the property deeds of those powerful people to pawnshops and money houses, the brothers who are left behind can buy them back through these pawnshops and money houses?" Those houses were used as dwellings for lurkers, and the problem of weapons was solved. ”

"Yes, see Xiu, that's what I meant. We can bury the weapons in the ground of the common people's homes first, and when the rumors pass away, the brothers who remain behind can buy the mansions of the powerful. Anyway, those powerful people have long been cleaned up by us, and the brothers who stayed behind were the land deeds bought from pawnshops or money houses, even if the government pursues them, it is impossible to investigate them to the buyers. ”

Hearing this, Tian Jianxiu couldn't help but admire: "Wonderful, really wonderful!" Whether it is a pawnshop or a money bank, they all have a good background. Even if the new official wants to find out something, the spearhead can only be pointed at the pawnshop or money bank as the seller! Moreover, being able to afford to open pawnshops and money houses, how can a county order provoke it? ”

The matter was settled, and Tian Jianxiu suggested instead: "By the way, boss, we can also use an underground passage to connect the buried mansion with the house where the brothers live, and the weapons are placed in the passage." In this way, even if it is not complete, it is not easy for the government to find something. ”

At this time, Li Zicheng's expression was closed, he yawned, and then said sleepily: "Okay, Jianxiu, let's talk about it today, after a busy night, let's rest early." ”

"Well, okay, boss, I'll go first."

Tian Jianxiu agreed, and then turned away, his steps were frivolous, and it could be seen that he was extremely tired.
