Chapter 319: Catalytic Crisis

In the next two days, although it was not the New Year, although there were no festive couplets posted, and although there were no red lanterns hung, it was the most festive day in Fengyang City in the past few decades.

Although the food and silver were not much, it was the first time that the family had food and silver!

For a while, there was a festive atmosphere everywhere, and all the people of Fengyang City took action, walked out of their homes one after another, and boldly joined the rebel army that destroyed the royal ancestral tomb; The faint-hearted have poured into the largest open space in the city, and the usual place of execution can be described as an empty alley.

A large flag of the rebel army was planted in the center of the execution ground, and the flag danced in the air with the wind, and the six big characters of "Gu Yuan Zhenlong Emperor" were written on it, which was extremely eye-catching.

On the execution platform, dozens of people were tied, including local officials, guards, and eunuchs kneeling in it, which was very conspicuous, as well as the powerful people of Fengyang Mansion, including a group of people who were extremely hated by the people of Fengyang Mansion.

The prefect Yan Daxuan is impressively listed, unlike others, but he is dressed in prison clothes and has an unkempt appearance.

In the position of the prison Xingtai, Gao Yingxiang and other leaders sat there with solemn expressions, looking very serious. If you don't know each other, you won't be able to detect their true colors.

At this moment, in a tall building at the edge of the law field, Li Zicheng quietly watched this scene, looked at the higher and higher sun, and once again turned his gaze to the law field, Gu Junen stood on the side, with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "Boss, these leaders are really shrewd, they don't want to miss this kind of limelight scene, it seems that they have learned our way and know the mystery of those policies." ”

Hearing this, others echoed and expressed their opinions.

"These people are all shrewd people, and they have long sensed the benefits of our set of practices, although they have a lot less money and food, they have won public opinion, can quickly replenish the source of troops, and greatly increased their prestige."

"Yes, if you don't see this clearly, how can these people willingly give money and food to the people? He also restrained his subordinates from harassing the people. ”

"These leaders have tasted the sweetness, and when they were in Henan, they imitated our approach, so as to gain the recognition of the vast majority of the people, so they could develop and grow rapidly, and their troops expanded dramatically."

......

At this time, Tian Jianxiu was staring at the big flag in the center of the execution ground, frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "Boss, pulling up this big flag now is equivalent to a complete break with the imperial court and completely going to the opposite side." Coupled with digging the royal ancestral grave and burning the Huangjue Temple where Zhu Yuanzhang once became a monk, there will be no end to death, and there will be no room for discernment. ”

"Huh~ What's there to worry about?" Gao Yigong asked disapprovingly, and then said: "We are doing the thing of rebellion, just to overthrow the imperial court and establish a new country." It's all done, and you still care about that? ”

Gu Junen nodded lightly, his attitude was much more elegant, and then he said: "Captain Tian, there is no perfect thing in the world, only in this way can the main force of the official army be attracted to Henan, and Mr. Song and they can transport materials to Shanxi more and quickly open up new base areas." ”

Gao Yigong was very excited and happy, and even said: "What's more, digging up the royal ancestral tomb is a never-ending thing, and you still care about pulling up this big flag?" ”

At this time, it seemed that he thought of something extremely exciting, Gao Yigong's face was full of red light, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly said loudly: "Brother-in-law, the strategy formulated by the military advisor against the enemy is really wonderful, it is simply a salary from the bottom of the kettle, looting various granaries in Shaanxi, making Shaanxi's grain extremely tense. Hey... Wait and see the show, the mutiny of the army in Xining is just the beginning, and as time goes by, there will be more and more mutinous troops, and you can't hold it down if you want to. ”

After a pause, Gao Yigong stared straight at Li Zicheng, with a wicked smile on his face, a glint in his eyes, and said with deep meaning: "Brother-in-law, when summer comes, if we can return to Shaanxi, come back to Shaanxi again, and snatch up all the new grain, if the imperial court can't send grain to Shaanxi, even if there is no action from various base areas, Shaanxi will have to be in chaos, and no one can calm it down." ”

A word woke up the dreamer, making everyone think more, and Wu Ruyi on the side finally spoke excitedly: "Moreover, boss, Mr. Xu, they have already taken action and have captured several granaries of the imperial court in Ruzhou and Kaifeng Mansion. Once the army of the imperial court is attacking and all enter Henan, it will face a shortage of grain and grass. At that time, there will be incidents of mutiny among soldiers in Shaanxi and Henan. ”

Hearing these words, Li Zicheng's expression finally relaxed a little, and he said softly: "Yes, don't look at the menacing official army, there is a posture of destroying all the rebel troops in one fell swoop." However, there is an implicit crisis, and the longer it drags on, the more obvious this crisis will become, and finally there will be an outbreak. At that time, the crisis we may face will be automatically resolved. ”

For a while, the atmosphere became relaxed, and everyone looked at the execution ground again in a good mood, as if to amuse them, Wu Ruyi suddenly said: "Hehe... Everyone, you may not know that in order to save his life, Yan Daxuan, the prefect of Fengyang, actually disguised himself as a prisoner and hid in the prison, wanting to take advantage of the rebels to release the prisoners on a large scale, so he took the opportunity to escape and have a fish-eyed mess, but in the end he was discovered. ”

"Damn, this Yan Daxuan is really smart enough, he knows that the people of Fengyang Mansion hate him to the bone, if he hides in the homes of ordinary people, he will be easily discovered, and the prison will become the safest hiding place." Bai Guangen said in a loud voice.

As soon as these words came out, he immediately reminded Gu Junen, his expression was retracted, and he said solemnly: "Boss, Yang Yipeng, the governor of Fengyang, has escaped, and as expected, he will definitely go to Nanjing for help." ”

"Once you go back, it's only about three or four days, let's prepare early, it's better to leave Fengyang Mansion earlier. After all, the reason why we came to Fengyang Mansion to dig the royal ancestral tomb and burn the Huangjue Temple was to make the emperor angry and attract the officials and troops to the south. Now that the goal has been achieved, it's time for us to move somewhere else. Otherwise, it is not beneficial to stay longer. ”

"Yes, it's time to leave." Li Zicheng nodded lightly, and his words were quite meaningful.

At the same time, the news of the fall of Fengyang Mansion, the digging of the royal ancestral tomb, and the burning of Huangjue Temple, with Fengyang Mansion as the center, quickly spread throughout the surrounding areas, far away in the imperial city thousands of miles away, and Chongzhen even got the news.

For a time, the world was in an uproar!
