Chapter 167: The Hibernation Period
Almighty Cultivation Supreme
A few days later, in the base of Quwu Mountain, Li Zicheng stood on the mountainside, overlooking down, admiring the newly established village, which was already running in an orderly manner, like a paradise, not disturbed by the wars of the outside world, ploughing the oxen and reclaiming one barren land after another.
Men and women weave, and the sound of poultry echoes everywhere.
Wu Ruyi, Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang stood behind Li Zicheng, surrounded by escorts, quietly watching this scene, the scene of the farmer weaving, Liu Fangliang couldn't help but praise: "Don't look at this Song Yingsheng Wenwen is weak, he looks like a nerd, and he is quite good at doing things, but in less than half a month, the base area has become decent, not as chaotic as it was at the beginning." ”
"Well, it's really good, Song Yingxing and Li Changmao did choose the right person for me, this Song Yingsheng is really a talent, and managing such a village is a bit condescending." Li Zicheng nodded and said with a smashing mouth.
At this time, Wu Ruyi took a step forward and said solemnly: "Boss, according to the report from the brother sent out, Hong Chengchou really fought with Wang Jiayin, but with only 8,000 people, he dared to attack the rebel army of more than 20,000 people. ”
"The result?" Li Zicheng raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.
At the same time, the others either looked at Wu Ruyi, or pricked up their ears and pretended to listen.
"Of course Wang Jiayin won!" Wu Ruyi blurted out excitedly, as if he had won the battle, his tone was paused, and then he said: "However, although Wang Jiayin has recovered the lost land, the loss is also quite miserable. Having said that, Hong Chengchou is ruthless enough, desperately losing a lot of troops, but he is biting Wang Zuogui's subordinates and carrying out a dead knock. In the end, all the people who surrendered to Wang Zuogui were annihilated before retreating. ”
Li Zicheng didn't answer again, his eyes flickered, he was silent, and he looked straight into the distance, as if he was thinking about something?
However, the others are secretly frightened, Hong Chengchou is really a character, he will be retribution, he is definitely a ruthless stubble!
After a while, Li Zicheng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and said in a deep voice without looking back: "Zongdi, in two days, you clean up, choose a dozen clever brothers to follow, disguise yourself, and go to Wang Jiayin." As soon as Wang Zuogui died, he would not have seen the leader of your rebel army. The chances of your identity being revealed are slim, and you are safer from being discovered. ”
"Yes, Boss!" Although Yuan Zongdi replied very loudly, it was still difficult to hide the trace of loneliness and reluctance.
From the battle between Hong Chengchou and Wang Jiayin, Li Zicheng didn't seem to be able to mention the slightest sense of joy, but showed a strong sense of worry, as soon as Yuan Zongdi finished answering, he said earnestly: "It seems that the time of real chaos in Shaanxi is coming, and the momentum of the rebel armies from all walks of life is about to enter a low period. ”
Everyone was stunned and puzzled, and Liu Fangliang said even more suspiciously: "Boss, won't you?" Wang Jiayin and Hong Chengchou fought a very beautiful battle, not only recovering Shenmu Fort and other places, but also killing a general soldier of the official army, several generals, is the situation so bad? Are you overly worried? ”
Li Zicheng still stood with his hands in his hands, quietly looking into the distance, although he did not answer Liu Fangliang's doubts, but the next words explained everything.
"Send an order down and tell the responsible persons of each base area that from now on, with Pingliang Mansion, Fengxiang Mansion, and Hanzhong Mansion as the middle line, all the eastern base areas should not take any major action as much as possible, and the plan to expand the base areas will be slow, and the focus will be on stabilizing the interior of the base areas that have already been established."
"To the west of the middle line, even if you expand a new base area and make any new moves, you must minimize the movement as much as possible, let alone leave any tail. In a word, in the next six months to a year, it will be Li Jiajun's dormant period, focusing on Taoguang and reducing the attention of the officials and the army to us. -”
Everyone was shocked in their hearts, but they didn't expect the boss to see the situation more seriously. Although it is not explicitly stated, the above words say everything.
As if he felt that he was too stiff and should let everyone understand what he meant, Li Zicheng's tone eased and further explained: "The reason why such a decision was made is not only because there is about to be a big storm in Shaanxi, and the situation will be very unfavorable to the rebel armies from all walks of life. The main reason is that in the past year or so, Li Jiajun has developed too fast, resulting in internal confusion and many unstable factors. ”
Li Zicheng paused, as if he had thought of something, and a solemn look suddenly appeared on his face, as if he was organizing language, he muttered for a moment, and then continued earnestly: "In just over a year, more than 20 large and small base areas have been established successively, covering the southwest, south, and southeast of Shaanxi and near Quwu Mountain. As a rough estimate, the total population should be around 100,000. If such an expansive development is not precipitated, sooner or later there will be problems. ”
With Li Zicheng's narration, everyone couldn't help but suddenly feel that the initial incomprehension in their hearts disappeared completely.
In one year, two to three months, the Li family's army has almost expanded by nearly ten times, and the number of people under his jurisdiction is even 70,000 or 80,000. Compared to the total population of 20,000,000 in the world, these 100,000 people can only be counted as a drop in the bucket. However, for Li Jiajun, it is a great progress. As the boss said, it really needs a dormant period to settle down.
For a while, everyone's eyes were projected on Li Zicheng's northward journey, and they were deeply impressed in their hearts, no wonder people were able to be the boss and govern themselves and others obediently, not only did they have unspeakable wrists. However, with this vision, it is well deserved!
Few people can match it.
After a short silence, Li Zicheng turned his head, looked at Wu Ruyi, and instructed: "Ruyi, in two months, I will go to Zhongnan Mountain for the first time, and it will be a few months to go, and the military issues here will be handed over to you, and you will cooperate with Song Yingsheng's governance." We must bear in mind that without affecting the agricultural affairs and daily life in the base areas, we must pay close attention to military training, train the people in the base areas in batches, and strive to make all the people soldiers. The training items and standards are all in accordance with our time in Ganzhou. ”
seemed to remember the years in Ganzhou, Wu Ruyi, Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang all showed a knowing smile, the former even saluted the strange military salute taught by Li Zicheng, stood straight, his right hand was palmed, palm down, five fingers aimed at the temple, and said loudly: "Yes, boss, I promise to complete the task!" ”
It seems that in order to increase his convincingness, he did not understand wrongly, Wu Ruyi further said: "The military items and standards used for training are based on the arrival of the garrison in Ganzhou, and the training method is adopted in Yuzhong County, whether it is the militia or the Li Jiajun, they are all divided into three parts, the system of three shifts, and one part patrols to maintain public order and order in the base area; Some of them carry out military and physical training to continuously improve their military literacy; The last part was engaged in farming, clearing wasteland, and striving for the self-sufficiency of the troops. ”
"Yes, that's what I mean, a three-shift system, and three parts are executed in turn." Li Zicheng nodded and gave approval.
