The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked down at the report.

He has a little impression of Li Zicheng.

It is not for nothing that this person can stand out from the rogues.

Ordinary rogues only know how to plunder, but Li Zicheng's soldiers and horses are not just military looting.

For example, when everyone was just grabbing grain everywhere, Li Zicheng put forward the slogan of not robbing the people, but only torturing the rich.

At the same time, he also paid attention to the establishment of the army, and specially set up a military horse with Guanzhong people as the main body, known as the old battalion.

There should be a lot of talents around him, and after other rogues cleaned a certain place, they immediately transferred, but Li Zicheng was completely different, every time he evacuated, he was in order, and he would leave a lot of examples, these Anmin-style examples...... It can be seen that they have begun to have a political vision.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jing and said, "Li Zicheng is this person...... What do you think? ”

Zhang Jing's eyes were heavy, and he said: "If you can really win the world, then the one who can win the world must be this person." ”

Zhang Jingyi's judgment is not only derived from the experience of being a human being in two lives, but through the information collected from all aspects, so as to determine his judgment.

"At first, the so-called 36 villages of all walks of life, now there are not many left, and the general Li Zicheng, the highest growth, this person is the best at in the process of moving around, constantly learning, this kind of learning ability, is what makes the minister the most fearful."

Zhang Jingyi immediately enumerated: "At first, the ministers paid attention to this group of rogues, and they had no rules for attacking the city, just blindly attacking. Like all the rogues, they are all fighting wherever they go, and the places they pass are like locusts crossing the border. After the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, the situation immediately improved, they attacked the city, and began to pay attention to the early contact and internal response, and the Liukou also began to have a disciplinary tendency, although they did not dare to say that the order was forbidden, but they also began to put forward their own slogans, such as not paying food. Now this general Li Zicheng is even better, according to the Jinyi Wei report, they have been able to gradually achieve the order and prohibition, and they dare not say that Qiu has not committed any crimes, but their old camp ...... It is indeed possible to do this, not only that, they are no longer robbing the money and food of the rich in the style of breaking the house, but adopting the method of torture, torture and raiding the house are not the same, the latter is to the death, the former is equivalent to tying up the ticket, let the family take the money and food to ransom people. This shows that the branch is no longer a simple thief. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jingyi said again: "It's the same this time, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong attacked Nanzhili, but Li Zicheng, the general of the city, went straight to the three towns of Wuhan. On the surface, it seems that taking Nanzhili directly has the greatest results, but obviously, there is also Li Zicheng's idea here, Li Zicheng obviously thinks that my Ming Dynasty will never perish by taking Nanzhili! Attacking Nanzhili and taking Fengyang directly, this will not have any benefit except for angering the imperial court and making the imperial court and Gao Yingxiang and others stumble. In this way, he can use Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong to attract the attention of the imperial court, and he can easily seize the three towns of Wuhan! ”

"Once the three towns are taken, it is equivalent to cutting off the waterway of the Yangtze River, and if you go down the river, you can take the south of the Yangtze River, and if you march along Jingchu, you can get the land of Xiangfan, which is enough to defend itself. If it goes west, it can take the river, and once the situation in the north changes, it can chase the Central Plains. Then with Gao Yingxiang and others, they formed a corner in Nanzhili, and sat back and watched my Ming and Gao Yingxiang fight to the death...... However, it is quite the heart of Emperor Taizu Gao who built a high wall, accumulated grain, and slowly became a king. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse kept nodding: "Learning ability? What Zhang Qing said is not bad, Li Zicheng's strength is not important, the current three major bandits, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong, are not to worry, only Li Zicheng, this ability to continue learning...... It's the most fearful. ”

Saying that, the Emperor of the Apocalypse clicked on the song and said: "This note says that Li Zicheng attacked Hankou, and there were gentry in Hankou who opened the door and surrendered, and there were even rumors that Li Zicheng wanted to open the imperial examination, what do you think...... Is this rumor true or false? ”

"Possibly." Zhang Jingyi said seriously: "Li Zicheng has a vicious eye, and there must be strategists by his side. If it was in the past, he would never have made such an important decision, this is because the rogues are the rogues, no matter what, the gentry cannot be attached, even if there are some frustrated scholars who vainly try to use him to establish meritorious deeds, but after all, this is a minority. ”

"But now...... The situation has changed, His Majesty has taken Jiangnan directly, and the gentry have been separated from morality, at this time...... If he uses the imperial examination, he may be able to invite people to buy people's hearts. Those who were once unattainable are now ...... But because of the national policy of the imperial court, he had the possibility to fight for it, which Li Zicheng ...... It is not necessarily that they will not do so, and once they merge with the gentry, there will be the possibility of competing for the world. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse unconsciously tapped his fingers on the case, looking thoughtful, and said, "Then what should the imperial court do?" ”

Zhang Jing said: "This person must be treated carefully, and a military horse should be ordered to strictly guard the Xiangfan area, but he is a rogue and wants to encircle and chase and intercept, if the imperial court does not have three times or five times the elite soldiers, it will not be able to encircle and suppress cleanly......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity, Li Zicheng has already calculated, I will definitely not pour the main force of Donglin to fight him." ”

Zhang Jingyi immediately understood what the Emperor of the Apocalypse meant: "Then what Your Majesty means......"

"The main force of the Donglin Army is still from Zhenjiang and transferred to Jiangbei to wait for the battle." The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked up at Zhang Jingyi: "Of course I am afraid of Li Zicheng, but I have to ...... Spend all your energy on guarding against Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong, if not, you will really be sorry for your ancestors. ”

Zhang Jing smiled and expressed understanding.

Although everyone agrees that Li Zicheng is the problem of the heart, in fact, it ...... Fools know that the main force of the Donglin Army must be in Nanzhili Town.

After all...... It is the Fengyang hometown of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the ancestral tombs are there. Once these two gangsters are neglected, and they really get their hands on it, it will really be a collapse.

Although he made such a decision, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but ask Zhang Jing: "It's just...... If it is true that the bad gentry and Li Zicheng merge, how should the imperial court control it? ”

Zhang Jing thought about it for a while, and then said calmly: "In fact, in the eyes of those gentry, this Li Ziwei is a thief, even if it is a so-called confluence, it is just a mutual use. Li Zicheng is not an ordinary person, if he really opens the imperial examination, the essence is actually to seek differentiation, so as to declare that he is the destiny of heaven, although there will be many gentry defecting to him, but don't forget that Li Zicheng's people are incompatible with these gentry. If there is a court, they may be able to endure each other, but once there is no external pressure, there will inevitably be many contradictions. ”

"And Li Zicheng and the gentry converge, the biggest impact, in the eyes of the ministers, may be within the court, I am afraid that there will be few people who hope that His Majesty can win the hearts of the gentry and propose to treat the gentry well."

Hearing Zhang Jingyi's analysis, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not surprised at all, nodded and said, "Then how should I deal with it?" ”

"It's easy to do." Zhang Jingyi: "Actually, this can be said to be a matter of confidence, so that those who support the New Deal, or have no ill will towards the New Deal, know that even without these gentry, we can do it, and there is a way for the minister." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was obviously very curious, and stared at Zhang Jingyi with great interest and asked, "What way?" ”

"Rare Machine!"

"Wooden Ox Flowing Horse?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but be surprised.

Zhang Jingyi smiled bitterly: "People in the world criticize strange and obscene things, and the reason why everyone thinks that strange and obscene things are useless is because strange and obscene things are not used in the right place. In all dynasties, superb craftsmen only wanted to use their skills and a lot of money to drill into luxury goods, but the ministers dared to guarantee that this thing would be ...... It can shake the world. ”

This is Zhang Jingyi's sincere words, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were also many clear streams, and they were very reluctant to strange tricks and tricks, and the reason for the rejection was essentially that these people had no knowledge.

Wait until later...... The strange and ingenious things of the West really opened their eyes, and many people began to realize the horror of this thing, so they ...... Except for a few who are still living in their dreams, everyone calls themselves Westerners.

What is Zhang Jingyi going to do now...... is to let people know that the so-called strange tricks and tricks in their mouths are not the same thing as his Zhang Jingyi's tricks and tricks, and they directly use rare ...... Ah, no, the steam engine, give them a slap on the spot.

If the person who sees this thing is still dead-headed, then there is no possibility of saving such a person, of course, they are fighting each other to the end.

But Zhang Jingyi also hopes that there will be a group of enlightened people who will gradually wake up.

Let's look at the meridians and treatments, or my Zhang Jingyi's science and technology are powerful.

"Your Majesty, the minister's side has already achieved results, so I implore Your Majesty...... On the fifteenth of next month, I led hundreds of officials to the new area to have a look. Zhang Jing blinked and looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse very seriously.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but show a wry smile, my ancestral grave is about to be dug up, do you still have the leisure to ponder this?

Of course, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't refuse, so he said, "Since Qing opened his mouth, how could I not allow it?" You explain it first, you thing...... Isn't it another way to ask me for money? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse has a psychological shadow, and he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope.

Zhang Jingyi immediately said: "Your Majesty still can't trust the ministers?" ”

But I couldn't help but think in my heart: "The minister has no such thoughts, the minister has always disliked the difficulties of strong people, and it is generally voluntary by others." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "That's very good! In addition, your wedding date is also approaching, I still need to prepare for this in the next few days, this big wedding is the best for Wei to do it, but I still don't feel at ease after all. ”
