"The little nephew is thinking about how to object." Yang Huaizu popped out a sentence, followed by another sentence: "Didn't Uncle Huang just say that he was going to see Xu Ping?" ”

"Hahahaha." Yellowstone burst out laughing.

"Uncle Huang is going to go alone?" Yang Huaizu leaned closer.

"Is there anything you're worried about?"

"Of course, well......" Yang Huaizu thought about it, and didn't come up with a reason to oppose it, Zhendong Hou's martial arts and bravery are known to the world: "It's Xu Ping who shouldn't worry, he will definitely not come." In the process of dialogue, Yang Huaizu finally sorted out his opposition ideas and began to state: "First, without heavy troops, Xu Ping would not have come; Second, the assassination can not be done again, Xu Ping will be very careful; Third, what is Uncle Huang's identity? How to assassinate a thief is like...... Well, it's like Uncle Huang going to have a relationship with a grass folk with the dignity of a marquis. ”

"Oh." At first, Huang Shi still heard a smile and groaning, but after the last reason came into his ears, his smile gradually faded, and he always had a sense of loneliness in this era: "I don't plan to kill him, I just want to try to see if I can recruit him and Li Chuang." ”

In this kind of military affairs, Yang Huaizu thought that he had no right to speak, so he planned to keep his mouth shut.

"What do you think?" Zhendonghou does not intend to let this junior go.

Yang Huaizu pondered for a moment, and then recounted the elders' discussions: "My nephew once heard Uncle Jin say that the master of the camp is weak and the minister is strong, and the more Xu Ping wins, the more serious the contradiction between him and Li Zicheng will be, and they can sow discord, if they turn against each other, maybe someone will accept the court's recruitment." ”

"Do you think they're going to turn against each other?" Zhendong Hou is still pressing step by step, since he was appointed as the governor of the capital for the first time, he found that others are reluctant to speak in front of him, no matter what meeting of the governor's mansion, ordinary people have to tout Huangshi's far-sightedness and great achievements first. In the hierarchical Ming Dynasty, age is also one of them, young people will not casually say "no" to the elderly, and when he is older, he will never tolerate young people saying a "no" to themselves.

"No, it won't." At the insistence of the Marquis of Zhendong, Yang Huaizu finally spoke: "Li Chuang's use of troops is not much commendable, not so much that Li Chuangqiang is strong, but that our officers and soldiers are too poor. "It is true that Li Zicheng's army was originally armed peasants, but the officers and soldiers were actually of the same nature, and the advantage of officers and soldiers over the army was not quality but equipment.

For example, flintlock rifles have become more and more popular, and armies everywhere are eager to equip them with this new weapon, and many Ming generals are willing to spend money to buy them from the south. The first-class businessmen in Fujian and Guangdong, who were still sneaky in the past, have now begun to blatantly manufacture weapons, such as the Jiangbei Army, which now has a lot of flintlock rifles. But as seen by Huangshi, the effect was very bad, most of the Jiangbei Army soldiers were captured strong men, who had not undergone any rifle training before, and had not received proper training in the barracks. As a result, as soon as they were actually met with musket fire on the battlefield, the soldiers would become disoriented.

Mr. Li's army was more experienced — his generals knew better how to deal with the chaos, and he had more veterans. And once new training methods are introduced, then it will be ten times more than the enemy. The armed peasants of the officers and soldiers would not be Xu Ping's opponents.

But Li Chuang is different from other leaders, such as Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, who have repeatedly surrendered and have no faith, only Li Chuang would rather hide in the barren mountains than accept Zhao'an. In the past, when he was chased to the end of the road, when there were less than 100 people left around him, he refused to rely on deception to take a breather, but now that he has so many soldiers and horses, how can he really surrender? He is determined to create a rebellion against the Ming Dynasty. ”

"That's a good point."

"As for Xu Ping, my father once said privately that he was sorry for the New Army, but the New Army was sorry for him first." Yang Huaizu observed Zhendonghou's face and asked cautiously, "I don't know if it's yes or no?" ”

"Did your father say that the Forces nouvelles were sorry for him?" Huang Shi asked, "How so?" ”

"My father said privately: In the first battle of Shandong, Xu Ping saved many people, thousands of officers and soldiers were able to survive because of him, and he was kind to these new officers and soldiers......

"Rushing to the aid on the battlefield is not a life-saving, this is the duty of an officer, I pay Xu Ping a general, not a soldier, and it is his responsibility to reinforce friendly troops." Zhendonghou interrupted Yang Huaizu's statement.

"But the others ......"

"That's their fault, but Xu Ping did his best to rescue friendly troops."

"Since Uncle Huang said so, that's it," Yang Huaizu said: "But my father said that Xu Ping should not betray the new army no matter what, this is his cultivation of Uncle Huang." ”

"When did he defect from the New Army?"

Yang Huaizu's mouth opened and couldn't close for a while, and he stammered for a while before he stammered a question, with a stunned expression on his face: "Could it be ...... Is it ......?"

"I didn't arrange for Xu Ping to go to Li Chuang."

"Oh-" Yang Huaizu let out a sigh of relief, and his face returned to normal: "Then Uncle Huang said-"

"It was the New Army that stripped him of his status as an officer and expelled him from the New Army, and then he defected to Li Chuang in vain." Zhendonghou said: "You see, there is no grievance that cannot be resolved, isn't it a reasonable question whether it is reasonable to seize the post?" ”

"But, but, he betrayed the court, and ......"

"Yes, he betrayed the court, this is his grudge with the court, and I am willing to forgive him for the rest of my personal grudge with him." If it was Yang Zhiyuan instead of Yang Zhiyuan's son, Zhendonghou would have said it more explicitly, but now he just said: "And I dare to say that if Xu Ping is willing to accept Zhao'an, the imperial court will never take care of it." ”

"Uncle Huang, my nephew doesn't quite understand what you mean."

"Haha, yes, this shows that you have thought with your heart, not in the left ear and out in the right ear." Under the influence of Zhendonghou for many years, Yang Zhiyuan has been cultivated into a big thief; Mrs. Yang is Xiong Tingbi's daughter, and she may not say anything about the Ming Dynasty in front of outsiders, but she is actually full of resentment in her heart. Zhendonghou estimated that Yang Huaizu grew up in this kind of family, and most of them also had backbones in the back of his head: "There is a Xia Sheng in Jiangnan who wrote a book called Social Contract Annotation, have you read it?" ”

"I have read it, before the Xia batch came out, my father showed my nephew the original version written by the anonymous name, and asked my nephew to write his experience every time he read a chapter, and my father wanted to pass the purpose."

"Good." Zhendonghou felt that this sounded like homework for elementary school students: "Since the violent Qin, the morale of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period has gradually disappeared. ”

"Concubinage?"

"Yes, pay attention to being a concubine, offering flattery and competing for favor, the means are one crying, two troubles, and three hangings," Zhendonghou felt that this was a kind of self-dwarfing of his own personality: "Then he will use this kind of request to ask for lower-level subordinates, requiring them to start from the beginning, even if they are left out in the cold, they can't go out of the wall, but they have to wait for their husband's happiness in the empty room, and they can't even complain until they die." If a widow dies during the festival, the government will give her a torii; If a scholar dies depressed in the cold, we will also praise his ambition of pine plum; Instead, we'll call them ***. That's it, for thousands of years, scholars have been treated like concubines. ”

"Uncle Huang means that there should be a contract, right?" Thanks to Yang Zhiyuan's social contract statement as a homework assignment for his son, Yang Huaizu can discuss and communicate with Zhendonghou on this issue: "It's still difficult for the little nephew to understand what you mean. ”

"My Chinese families, Confucianism, Legalism, Moism, Zonghengjia, etc., all originated in the pre-Qin, when there were talented people, the country should be vain, the position of the secretary to wait, since the tyranny of Qin burned books and pit Confucianism, the art of rejuvenating the Legalists, the Han Emperor is also the overlord of the world, as if we no longer have the achievements of the pre-Qin." Huang Shi knew that Yang Huaizu could not understand himself very well, and few people in the feudal society would think that there was anything wrong with suppressing anti-emperor thoughts: "In the Two Song Dynasty, the Son of Heaven would be praised for his noble character and kindness to the literati he didn't like. Alas, it is a concubine, the husband beats the concubine who does not please him into the empty room, and he also asks her not to hold grudges. Seeing people as concubines' playthings, but asking the other party to be generous and chivalrous, how difficult it is. ”

"It's a pity that the imperial court doesn't use Uncle Huang as the first assistant," Yang Huaizu said: "Otherwise, it will definitely be able to prosper and eliminate disadvantages." ”

"Easier said than done," as a former modern, Huang Shi knows very well that the hereditary gate valve system is the most corrupt of the political system, but looking at his surroundings, it is also full of children: "If I can do a good job, Xu Ping and his men will still stand behind me instead of in front of me." ”

"That's because there are too many evils in the new army."

"Are you studying Yu Dong?" Huang Shi chuckled.

"How can I learn from him?" Yang Huaizu's voice sounded surprised.

"Just now he emphasized that other people's are not and wanted to find me a step." Over the years, no matter what Huangshi did, there would always be people who came out to praise him for being right, and any mistake was someone else's fault, and he felt like he was in deep pockets.

Some of the words in his heart could not be said to Yang Huaizu, the other party could not imagine the country and political system that Huangshi had seen, he thought in his heart: "Back in Changsheng Island, my own feudal privileges were the source of all privileges, and after I gave up those privileges, the officers and soldiers were almost equal. Now, my privileges are much greater than they were then, and I can't give them up anymore. Huang Shi looked at Yang Huaizu beside him, and thought of other children who relied on him to take care of him: "Absolute rights cause absolute ***, only I have such an understanding in this world, but I am still corrupted." It's like the new army, I always can't help but be partial, if it weren't for Xu Ping, maybe I would have tolerated it, if it wasn't for not changing, I would have failed, maybe I would have survived......"

……

After leaving the battlefield with the fifth infantry wing, Xu Ping saw that Li Zicheng had set up a camp, which was not very far from the camp of the Jiangbei Army, but in order to calm the morale of the army and gather the rout, he had to take risks - this was not the native place to break into the camp, and most of the soldiers did not know the way home, and if they broke away from the army, they would probably be lost.

When he entered the camp and saw the frightened old camp generals, the first thing Li Zicheng said after seeing Xu Ping was: "Thanks to Brother Xu today." ”

This time Li Zicheng attacked the capital, a total of more than 30,000 old battalions were brought, in addition to the losses in Shandong and some garrisoned and left behind, there were more than 20,000 when he went to the battlefield today, and nearly 6,000 were lost after running down more than a dozen roads.

"What about King Cao and King Ji?" Xu Ping looked around the camp, and the leaders of the two largest alliance forces were not there.

"Escaped early," Liu Zongmin scolded: "The chicken leg escaped the earliest, and Cao Cao fled fast with cavalry and threw us off the top tank." ”

"King, you can't fight this." Xu Ping knew that after this battle, the morale of the camp would be greatly weakened, and the new army might arrive at any time: "King, we will return to Kaifeng, and after capturing Kaifeng, it will almost be the freezing season, and then we will take the Beijing division directly." ”

Although the Jiangbei Army has the possibility of a war on its own territory, Xu Ping does not think that they will go to reinforce the Beijing Division, not only the Jiangbei Army will not go, but even the Jin Army and the Qin Army will never be dispatched.

Niu Jinxing looked helpless, but also agreed, if it weren't for Xu Ping's strength being too strong, he wouldn't have wanted to spend time in Shandong and Nanjing. Niu Jinxing's theory is to muddy the water as soon as possible, capture the capital and let the prestige of the imperial court be discredited, and then the princes can break it individually, although this also has the possibility of making a wedding dress for people, but if it is not like this, there will always be talented people who will appear, relying on the resources of the imperial court to form their own descendant troops, that is really the precursor to the king - now Niu Jinxing is most worried about the Marquis of Zhendong, fortunately, Xu Ping defeated his new army several times, so that the other party failed to obtain the prestige and military strength of the dynasty usurpation.

While he was talking, Luo Ru came to report from outside the camp.

Li Zicheng's face was unhappy, but Niu Jinxing coughed before Luo Rucai came in, Li Zicheng glanced at him, piled up a concerned expression on his face, and greeted Luo Rucai: "King Cao is safe." ”

"His grandmother's, chicken leg this grandson!" After Luo Rucai entered the camp, he picked up the water handed to him by the guards and drank it: "This bastard didn't say a word when he ran away, I have been crisscrossing the Central Plains for many years, and I have never seen such an unrighteous guy!" ”

After following Luo Rucai, some leaders of large and small forces who broke into the camp came to Li Zicheng with the remnants of the defeated generals, but they waited left and right, and never got any news of Ji Huisi.

"King Ji may have gone back to Henan first." Xu Ping said goodbye to Li Zicheng and said, "The last general will go back to rectify the camp first." ”

After the generals left one after another, and Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing were left in the camp, the latter asked Li Zicheng: "King, what do you want to do about Xu Ping?" ”

"Brother Xu has no dissent, I can't do anything to be sorry for him." Li Zicheng immediately replied: "Besides, if I take away his military power, what will others think of me?" ”

"How can this be called taking away his military power?" Niu Jinxing categorically retorted: "Li Guo is the nephew of the king, Li Laiheng is the nephew of the king, is there anything wrong with the king transferring them back to his account to listen to the order?" ”

"Since you know that they are my dearest relatives, what's wrong with them under Xu Ping?"

"Today's battle is very clear, weapons alone are useless," Niu Jinxing also bought a batch of equipment for Li Zicheng's old battalion, but their performance was much worse than that of the Fifth Infantry Wing: "We must add Huang Hou's training method." ”

"This Brother Xu never kept it a secret, just ask him directly."

Niu Jinxing knew that what Li Zicheng said was right, but he didn't want to ask, it was imperative to attack the Jingshi after capturing Kaifeng, and if the limelight was snatched away by Xu Ping's subordinates, it would be difficult to do: "King, what should Xu Ping and Sun Kewang say about their conspiration and intention to set up the king as Zhou Tianzi?" ”

"First of all, this is a rumor, and secondly, it is Zhou Tianzi, aren't they just trying to be crowned king? Now Chongzhen Lao'er is still staying in the Forbidden City, it's too early to say this, right? ”

"They don't just want to be crowned kings, they want to seal the spear and tear the earth, and it's not just the two of them who want to."

"At most, add one more Li Dingguo."

"More than that!" Niu Jinxing shook his head and said: "Far more than that, they want to carve up the world, and they want their generals to carve it up with them." ”

"Do you have proof?"

"Yes!" Niu Jinxing replied in a deep voice: "I have witnesses, do you want to see the king and ask in person?" ”

……

At the same time, the Marquis of Zhendong has also returned to the camp of the Jiangbei Army, and tens of thousands of beheadings have been reported by generals from all walks of life, and some generals who have not grabbed the merit have simply led the army to loot the surrounding villages, abducted the women as military prostitutes, and killed the elderly, children and men together to repay the merits.

The Marquis of Zhendong knew this, but he pretended not to know and said that he would decide on the reward based on their achievements, and then report it to the Jingshi Master of Ceremonies to wear red.

"I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world."

After sending away the generals of the Jiangbei Army, Zhendonghou was ready to write a chapter, and after he knew the number on it, it was the bloody bones of many people: used to please the court, used to obtain meritorious service, and used to complete the transaction with the Jiangbei Army.

"I once thought that if Chongzhen did better than in history, I would forget it. Maybe the feudal monarchy will continue in China for a while, but I know that sooner or later it will be realized by the people, maybe in this universe without bloodshed. But troubled times are still coming, and more people will die if I say ***. ”

"With so many people dying, it can't and shouldn't be for a new feudal group to appear, even if it's my cronies. The new army can do this, and if they are allowed to occupy important positions in the country, what will it be? Huang Shi felt that the meeting with Xu Ping had become more urgent, and he needed to make a deal with Xu Ping — a political deal.
