Chapter 182: Arrangement
Almighty Cultivation Supreme
Chongzhen five years, March.
On this day, the stone building of Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi Province has long been occupied by Gao Yingxiang's department. I don't know if it was due to habit, or because of some suspicion and scruples, Li Zicheng's Li family army was stationed outside the city. Even Li Zicheng and his wife lived in the camp and did not enter the stone building with Gao Yingxiang.
At this moment, in Li Zicheng's camp, Li Guo is reporting information one by one.
"Uncle, as you expected, although Sun Yuanhua appeased Kong Youde, due to the actions of some villains, according to the investigation of the brothers, although the court agreed to Sun Yuanhua's guilt. However, the inspector Wang Daochun concealed the edict halfway and refused to announce the will of the imperial court, so that the rebels did not receive a reply from the imperial court for a long time and rebelled again. ”
Even so, Sun Yuanhua once again persuaded the rebels, Kong Youde, with his clever tongue. However, the good times did not last long, and not long after the rebels let Sun Yuanhua go, they were suddenly attacked by Wang Daochun, rebelled again, and the posture intensified, threatening the stability of Laizhou. Faced with such a sudden change, Sun Yuanhua, who was in the capital, was speechless. ”
At this time, Sun Yuanhua's political enemies Yu Yinggui, Li Mengchen and Lu Zhenfei jumped out one after another and competed to attack. At this point, Sun Yuanhua was sentenced by Chongzhen to be beheaded by a prisoner, and Yu Dacheng, Song Guanglan, Wang Wei and others were sent to fill the army. ”
......
Li Zicheng listened very calmly, without the slightest feeling, and after Li Guo finished speaking, he just said lightly: "Okay, I know." By the way, if the arrangement continues, Sun Yuanhua must be brought out and sent to the secret base area. There are also Wang Wei and Sun Yuanhua's foreigner firearms unit formed in Dengzhou, and try to get them to the base area. ”
"However, uncle, according to the information I received, the foreign artillery unit formed by Sun Yuanhua suffered heavy losses due to Kong Youde's rebellion, and the Portuguese Xilaojing, Lu Weiliu, Fran Aranda, and Fangsi Valley and other twelve were killed, fifteen were seriously injured, and the rest did not know their traces. To find them, coupled with the chaotic situation in Dengzhou and Laizhou, where there are rebels everywhere, it is difficult to find those people. Li Guo stated in an orderly manner.
Gao Yigong stood aside, and when he heard this information, he was not interested in the back, but he was emotionally moved to the front.
"Chongzhen, the emperor is really not very good, what kind of people are used in this? Although it is not a big mess in the world now, it is not far off. Not long after Huang Taiji retreated, and the days had not stopped for a few days, those officials in the capital forgot about the crisis, did not know to share the worries of the emperor, and did not know to think about the people of the world, so they only knew that they were attacking each other and engaging in party disputes there! ”
"It's sad! A good situation, the rebellion in Dengzhou, Shandong is obviously very easy to solve, and people are willing to appease, but because of the careful thinking of these villains, Kong Youde rebelled again, and the people of Laizhou and Dengzhou have to suffer. ”
Liu Fangliang couldn't stay idle, and then sighed.
"You said that Wang Daochun is also true, he has no overall situation at all, regardless of the safety and life of the people of Limin, he only knows his own selfishness and wants to make meritorious contributions. If you can really fight, you can do a good job of Kong Youde, and you can quickly quell the rebellion in Dengzhou and relieve the siege of Laizhou, then forget it. However, without that diamond diamond, I want to do that porcelain work, and I really do it, and I am a bad seed. In the face of Kong Youde's offensive, he didn't dare to step forward. If the court is all these people, it will perish sooner or later. Otherwise, heaven will not tolerate it! ”
Xu Xiake's expression was very ugly, and he also said with emotion: "No way, our emperor is too anxious, too anxious for quick success, his ears are still soft, and his suspicion is serious, and it is easy to believe what others say." Moreover, it does not care about party strife. The candidates for the cabinet are either all the Donglin Party or the remnants of the Wei Party, so it's no wonder if there is no problem. ”
However, Li Zicheng waved his hand at this time, and suddenly said, "Why do you care so much?" We are not officials of the imperial court, nor are we royal people, so there is no need to think about his Zhu family. Don't forget, we are a bunch of anti-thieves, the more ** the court, the more incompetent the better, the better it is for us. ”
Li Zicheng paused suddenly, seemed to think of something, thought for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "From this information, have you found that no matter which party is in charge, it is reused by Chongzhen. However, there is one thing that cannot be denied, advocating a strong encirclement and suppression of the rebels and rebels, which occupy the mainstream. ”
When he woke up from the dream, Tian Jianxiu reacted.
"Boss, what do you mean is that in the future, the imperial court will increase the intensity of encirclement and suppression. Even if there is a soothing, it is not reliable. ”
"Yes, that's what I meant." After Li Zicheng gave an affirmative answer, he further said: "Cao Wenzhao, Hong Chengchou and others have gathered in Qingyang Mansion, Yaozhou, and Xi'an Mansion in Shaanxi one after another, and the nearest distance from Shanxi is only across the Yellow River. ”
For a while, the geographical map of the eastern border of Shaanxi and the western border of Shanxi came to everyone's minds, and Xu Xiake added in a deep voice: "Cao Wenzhao and his nephew Cao Bianjiao have successively exterminated the rebel armies in Heshui and Ningzhou, and it is only a matter of time before they enter Yan'an Mansion. Once they took the meandering crossing on the Yellow River in Shanxi, it would not be far from the long drive into Shanxi. If Cao Wenzhao and them join forces with Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, to form a flanking attack, not only will the situation of the rebel armies of the 36th Battalion be bad, but even our situation will become very bad. ”
To everyone's surprise, just when everyone else was in a hurry, Li Zicheng's reaction was very cold, and he was too calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
This time, it was not the grumpy Liu Fangliang who was the first to be anxious, and Wu Ruyi was the first to say anxiously: "Boss, if Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, and Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, reach some kind of consensus, and they will be surrounded from the northeast and southwest respectively, forming a corner trend, and then cooperating with Cao Wenzhao, Zhang Jiayu and others to cross the Yellow River eastward, no matter what the 36th battalion does, it will be difficult for us to withdraw from Shanxi." If we don't come up with a solution sooner, it will be even more difficult when the time comes. ”
At this time, if you talk about the understanding of Shanxi, it must be Li Guo. As the person in charge of intelligence gathering, Li Guo immediately refuted Wu Ruyi's words.
"Before the situation is clear, there will be no ...... of such a situation" As soon as Li Guo said this, Wu Ruyi wanted to question and refute, and Li Guo further explained: "Although Zhang Zongheng is the governor of Xuanda, he is stationed in Pingyang, and the governor Xu Dingchen is stationed in Fenzhou, so it is impossible to form the trend of the northeast and southeast corners you mentioned. ”
"And, even in the kind of situation you said, the situation is not as serious as you say. Shanxi can't stay, just like the boss said, as I said before, we can cross the Yellow River south and enter Henan. ”
For a while, things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, and when others wanted to share their opinions, they saw Li Zicheng say something different again.
"Well, whether the future situation is like that or not? However, the purpose of our entry into Shanxi this time and joining the 36th Battalion is to attract the main force of the official army to Shanxi and Henan. Secondly, let's take the opportunity to cross the Yellow River south and enter Henan for further development and growth. Therefore, no matter how the situation develops in the future, it is imperative to enter Henan, and the sooner the better. ”
"As for Cao Wenzhao and others who may enter Shanxi at any time to encircle and suppress the rebel armies from all walks of life, you can rest assured, I have already had a countermeasure."
"Countermeasure? Boss, what countermeasures? Liu Fangliang couldn't help but interject and asked.
Li Zicheng smiled and replied vaguely: "Okay, what countermeasures, you will know in the future." The most important thing now is to train new recruits and be ready to fight at any time. In three months, we're going to have a big move. ”
As soon as they heard that there was a big move in three months, most people became excited, and there was a taste of bloodthirstiness.
At this time, Gao Yigong suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Brother-in-law, tell you good news, my sister has it, and you will soon become a father!" ”
As soon as the words fell, just when Li Zicheng was stunned and surprised, others congratulated one after another.
"Hehe... Congratulations, Boss! ”
"Haha... Boss, our Li Jiajun finally has a successor! ”
"Boss, such a big happy event, you must set up a table of banquets, celebrate with the brothers, and make the brothers sticky and happy!"
......
Among the tents, Xu Xiake is the oldest and has the most experience, and when he is festive, he will also have worries in his heart. Everyone was congratulating and begging for red eggs, but Xu Xiake said inappropriately: "Boss, it is a happy event that Mrs. is pregnant." However, our whereabouts are erratic, and we may face the encirclement and suppression of the pursuing soldiers of the official army at any time, and hide in Tibet. At this time, it is really unwise to let the pregnant lady follow. Moreover, this army is in chaos, and the fact that Mrs. is in the army is not conducive to her raising a baby. ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, Gao Yigong was the first to become anxious, and said worriedly: "Yes, brother-in-law." My sister has just become pregnant, and she is still light and can travel with the army. If after a while, the belly grows bigger day by day, even if there is no fight, with the current conditions, it is not suitable for my sister to have a child? ”
Gao Yigong's tone paused, a trace of realization appeared in his mind, and he suddenly turned to say: "Brother-in-law, why don't you do this?" Send my sister into the city first, stay incognito, and wait until the child grows up, and then reunite with us. ”
Li Zicheng was silent for a while, pondered for a moment, and waited until Gao Yigong finished speaking, and then vetoed: "No!" ”
Hearing these two words, Gao Yigong's heart suddenly pinched, he was originally a little relaxed, thinking that he had thought of a good idea, and the hope that rose in his heart was completely extinguished. However, without waiting for him to argue, Li Zicheng explained indifferently: "Yigong, let's not talk about those officials or people in the city, will they recognize your sister?" As the saying goes, there is no airtight wall in the world, once this news leaks out, is it difficult to guarantee that those young people in the 36th battalion will not tell the official mansion? ”
Gao Yigong swallowed all the words in his mouth, although he was reluctant in his heart, he also knew deeply that in just a few months, Li Jiajun's army had expanded to 5,000 people at once, which had already made some people in the 36th Battalion jealous.
Moreover, the competitiveness within the 36th Battalion is very high, and it is also full of intrigues. Trampling on the upper positions of the bodies of other rebel army leaders abound! What's more, as soon as my brother-in-law entered the thirty-sixth battalion, when he was in Yueyang, he offended Zhang Xianzhong.
However, without thinking about it, Li Zicheng's voice came again, making it rise again.
"Yigong, I object to your sister going into the city incognito, if it weren't for the arrangement. Don't worry, I have a better place, not only for your sister and my daughter-in-law, but also very safe. If you can't do that, there won't be a good place in the world for your sister to have a baby. ”
"Brother-in-law, where is that? Where? Gao Yigong asked with excitement on his face, full of hope and curiosity.
"Yigong, you don't have to ask about this, you will know in the future." Li Zicheng responded lightly, then looked at Li Guo, and explained: "Guo'er, early tomorrow morning, you will choose some brothers, dress up in disguise, and send your aunt to Mr. Song." ”
At this moment, except for Gao Yigong, who doesn't know where that place is? However, even if there has been speculation for a long time, it must be one of the nearest bases. However, everyone didn't expect that the boss actually sent his wife to the Zhongnan Mountain base a little farther away.
After all, the farther away you are, the more dangerous it is. Moreover, Xi'an Mansion is still an area surrounded and suppressed by the official army.
However, everyone understands when they think about it, compared to other base areas, regardless of distance, the Zhongnanshan base area is the best choice. In the Zhongnan Mountain base area, not only is there a five- or six-thousand-strong Kongtong army to protect it, but also because the conditions there are the best!
There are abundant food reserves, and there are all kinds of talents, not only Westerners but also scientific and technological talents, as well as people who are extremely proficient in perseverance. In this way, from the raising of the fetus to the later child-rearing and education, we can provide the best.
There is another point, even if the Zhongnan Mountain base is exposed one day, the boss's wife and children are inside. Faced with the heavy encirclement and suppression of the officers and troops, they retreated to the Qinling Mountains for 300 miles, and advanced with the support of nearby base areas.
When this information appeared in everyone's minds, guessing the basis for the boss to make such a decision, Li Guo stood up and replied loudly: "Yes, uncle, I will definitely send my aunt to Mr. Song safely." ”
Li Zicheng nodded with satisfaction, then whistled and shouted, "Black ruffian, come in!" ”
With a bang, a small tower-like black shadow rushed in and landed firmly in front of Li Zicheng, who said, "Later, I will let the black ruffian escort you all the way until you reach Mr. Song." ”
Hearing this, Li Guo was immediately overjoyed and said happily: "Hehe... In this way, with the escort of the ruffians along the way, they can avoid the approach of the officers or bandits from a distance, and they can leave calmly. ”
"Yes, that's what I'm going to do. The ruffian's sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and from a distance of thirty miles, he can smell the breath of the enemy and judge whether there is danger. That way, you'll have a lot less trouble along the way. ”
After saying these words, Li Zicheng's face showed joy and he was much more relieved.
