Hearing this, everyone's hearts were shocked, and the words that came to their mouths were swallowed back raw, and they sat upright, with a solemn face, waiting for Li Zicheng's next words.

"After the conversation just now, I think the doubts that plagued your hearts yesterday have been solved, why I suddenly asked you to confiscate those people's property. Of course, what you judge in your hearts is not wrong, but that is not my whole purpose. As for the other purpose, you will know tomorrow when the Assembly of 10,000 people is held. ”

The minds of the five people moved, but they didn't expect Li Zicheng to have another intention. When I was curious, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and in just a few words, it was not difficult to find that the boss's attitude was very resolute, and the 10,000-person conference must be held, and the importance was not inferior to recruitment, and the side replied to the suggestion just now.

However, no one is stupid enough to come out and bring up the old things again, and Li Zicheng has to postpone tomorrow's 10,000-person meeting and shift the focus to recruiting troops.

After a long conversation, recalling the past, the five of them thought of many memories of Li Zicheng. Although this boss always looks like a hanger, he has some tricks to do when he fights with others, which can almost be described as unscrupulous. But one thing is undeniable, that is, the boss is very good to his own people, and whenever there is a major matter, he will discuss it with his own people.

The most important and crucial point is that although the boss often does some hot-headed things and is rash, he never acts recklessly. It seems to be a big grin, a big deal, which must contain carefulness, every important decision, there will be a certain basis, not hasty.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Li Zicheng paused, and then continued sonorously: "Maybe you still have such and such questions, and many puzzles. I can't explain it yet, though. Because, the effect of the explanation is not great, it is better for you to see what the facts are, so that you can understand my good intentions. Moreover, it's only two days, so what can't be delayed? ”

At this moment, Tian Jianxiu already had a rough outline in his mind, knew Li Zicheng's intentions, and said in agreement: "Also, in the past few days, the four city gates have been closed, and they are not allowed to enter or exit, and there is no ten days and half a month, and the situation in Yuzhong County cannot be transmitted." When Hu Tingyan, the governor of Shaanxi, and Yang He, the governor of the three sides, heard the news and reacted, they didn't know when it happened? ”

Li Guo, Wu Ruyi and Yuan Zongdi have no objection to this statement, although they have not spent much time in the army, they also know that the governor Hu Tingyan is a person who is timid in doing things, timid as a mouse, and can push and push, and deceive and conceal it. He is even more familiar with the rebel armies in Shaanxi, and he can avoid them. Even the army that suppressed the mutiny in Jiezhou, if it wasn't for Yang He's personal supervision, I don't know what would have happened?

With such a governor sitting in Shaanxi, isn't Shaanxi a paradise for the rebels? How many hands can Yang He have, and can he still experience everything?

Therefore, after Tian Jianxiu's reminder, everyone was no longer so anxious, and they delayed for a day or two, which had little impact on the overall situation. What's more, whether Li Zicheng has clearly restrained them or not, he can't do anything. You can still do what you want, recruit troops, as long as you are present when the 10,000-person conference is held.

As soon as they thought of this, everyone's resistance became even weaker, and they only heard Li Zicheng say again: "Okay, before tomorrow's 10,000-person meeting, we must mobilize the people of the whole city to go to the Dharma field, and I will deal with those pests that harm the villagers in front of the people of the city, and vent their anger and anger for the people." ”

Yuan Zongdi stood up and replied, "Boss, you can rest assured of this. When the people on the list and the father and son of the Gao family were executed, when the time came, although not all the people in the city arrived, they were indispensable. Over the years, the people of Yuzhong City have suffered from the scourge of those people. ”

"Especially the father and son of the Gao family, the most hateful is Gao Keng, relying on his father to be the county magistrate of Yuzhong County, and Uncle Gao Qiqian is a celebrity around Chongzhen. The victimized families either dare not file a complaint, or have no way to file a complaint, or the whole family dies mysteriously. ”

Hearing this, everyone was emotional, and Wu Ruyi also said hatefully: "We want to execute such a scourge spirit, even if the people are still afraid of us and are a little worried about us." However, hearing such news, how could he miss the scene where the Gao family's father and son were killed. ”

Without any doubt, they nodded one after another, and between the words, Tian Jianxiu was already very sure of his guess. Thinking of these, I became more and more convinced and admired Li Zicheng's arrangement.

Li Zicheng also nodded incessantly, completely relieved, as long as the people in the city can reach 10,000 people, it will have a great propaganda effect, then his plan is equivalent to half of the success. At this time, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "By the way, we must post notices, and convey them door-to-door, telling every merchant that during the period of martial law in Yuzhong City, the price of all items is not allowed to increase." Once discovered, they will not be spared, and will be fined at the least, and the family property will be confiscated at the worst to set an example. ”

As the most careful Tian Jianxiu, he was literate and cut ink, and he took this task seriously, and immediately replied: "Yes, boss." I will send soldiers to post notices throughout the city, informing all the people in the city that if any shop dares to raise prices, or hoards goods, and deliberately does not sell them, they can all report to us, so as to curb the prices in Yuzhong City, reduce the negative impact of our uprising as much as possible, and ensure that the people of Yuzhong City can live a normal life. ”

At this moment, Li Zicheng thought of something and awakened the memory of "Li Zicheng" in history before the crossing, the battle of Shanhaiguan, that Li Zicheng was like a flood that burst the embankment, and it was out of control, and the millions of troops could not stop the Qing army of only about 200,000, and the defeat was very fast and miserable.

The reason why this is so is nothing more than three main reasons, which are destined to the failure of the Great Shun Dynasty to exist for a long time. And he, Li Zicheng, wants to reverse history and not repeat the mistakes of the past!

Thinking of this, Li Zicheng's eyes showed a resolute look, and he secretly warned himself in his heart: "Don't get carried away, temporary success or failure cannot represent eternity." Li Zicheng, we must remember, first, you can make friends with traitors, but you can't entrust important tasks, let alone listen to slander, cause internal divisions, and panic; Second, we must attach importance to public opinion and put it at the strategic height of the first place. ”

"Boss~Boss~ Wake up, what are you thinking?" Tian Jianxiu, who was closest to him, called softly, and when he saw Li Zicheng obviously waking up, he hurriedly asked with concern: "Boss, what's wrong with you?" Well, why did you suddenly get distracted? Did I say something wrong that displeased you? ”

"No, no~ You're right, I just thought of something, not your reason." Li Zicheng shook his head again and again, hurriedly explained, after finishing speaking, while looking around, his expression returned to unprecedented solemnity, and he said more seriously: "Brothers, after all, jokes are jokes, since we met, what do you think of me Li Zicheng?" ”

Suddenly asked, without warning, everyone was blinded, boss, what's wrong? Even Li Guo, who is the closest to him, has a confused look on his face, and he doesn't know why.

For a while, I don't know if I didn't react, or if I had some kind of estimation in my heart, no one answered Li Zicheng's inquiry, and the hall was quiet.

Li Zicheng didn't care about the change in everyone's disappointed expressions, he just wanted an answer, his eyes finally stayed on Liu Fangliang's body, and said sincerely and frankly: "In all fairness, among the brothers, the most trusted is none other than Tian Jianxiu, he is brave and strategic, calm and careful, so I am very relieved." ”

"However, when it comes to my favorite, it is none other than Liu Fangliang, because he is frank and outspoken, daring to act, talking about revenge and revenge, and repaying kindness, but he can also have good self-control and discipline, even if he is angry, I am strict with things, but I will implement and abide by it without any discount."

was so affirmed by the boss and highly evaluated, although the remaining three were envious, they were not jealous, because what Li Zicheng said was the truth. Since joining the army, everyone present has been together, and who doesn't know whom?

Therefore, for such an evaluation, whether it is Li Guo as a nephew, or Yuan Zongdi and Wu Ruyi, they are very convinced!

However, Li Zicheng has not stopped, Liu Fangliang has not had time to be complacent, Li Zicheng looked at him with forced eyes, and said in an indecisive tone: "Liu Fangliang, I know that you don't tell lies, and you don't have so many fancy intestines, you say, how am I?" ”

Liu Fangliang made a fuss, laughed a little embarrassedly, and then said, "Hehe... Of course you're good, boss. For those of us, except for some of the tricks you have when you fight with everyone, some tricks are unbearable, and everything else is very good. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Fangliang's old face turned red, and he couldn't help but think of Li Zicheng's tricks, and he felt even more embarrassed, losing face in front of everyone, but he quickly shifted his focus to hide his embarrassment.

"In front of outsiders, maybe you are extremely protective and unreasonable, and if you don't agree with each other, you will fight and do everything. However, for his own people and his brothers, he has always treated them equally, and he has clear grievances and grievances, and he has shared weal and woe, which has not been said. ”

Although there was an element of sycophancy in the words, most of them were true, and the other four nodded in agreement. Li Zicheng is very satisfied, to be precise, he is self-satisfied. As soon as Liu Fangliang's words ended, he said earnestly: "Brothers, we are all our own people, I will say it directly." ”

"Boss, you say!" Others echoed one after another, and everyone knew that Li Zicheng included Li Guo in the ranks of brothers, and everyone also knew that not only did the two grow up together since childhood, but also to show that they were treated equally, but the two of them were usually called uncles and nephews.

"What I have just talked about is not the main content of today's meeting, nor is it my purpose. The reason why this meeting was held is that the next thing to talk about is the key, the foundation of our foothold in Yuzhong City, and the premise of becoming bigger and stronger in an all-round way. ”
