Zhang Yanzhi admitted that he had gambling elements.

But now, I have to gamble.

If you gamble, there is still a way to live, and if you don't gamble, there is no way back.

Zhang Yanzhi stared at everyone, his face was extremely solemn, and said: "Now, it has reached the most critical moment, Li Zicheng is a hero, full of courage, once he has the opportunity, he will inevitably come out of the nest and kill the capital, but what about me?" ”

He glanced at everyone: "These days, we have enjoyed all the blessings we should enjoy, the benefits have been touched, and victory or defeat is here." In the capital, we must also make some moves, only in this way can we increase our chances of winning! From today onwards, none of the things you and I are planning to discuss can be disclosed to others, after all, this is all related to our net worth and life. ”

"Otherwise, everyone needs to go their separate ways, and I'm here to ...... There are quite a few ministers with whom we have befriended, and now they are deeply involved, and we are in the same boat, so ...... As long as King Li's soldiers are killed, we should immediately contact them and cooperate with King Li. ”

"As for the liaison between the generals of the battalions, who will be responsible."

Look at me, people, and I'll look at you.

At this point, Zhang Yanzhi said that he wanted to oppose, and everyone had nothing to say, after all, it was all at this point, and they were all dead.

But if you really let yourself do something, it can't help but make people a little scared.

Finally, someone gritted his teeth and said, "I have an old relationship with a few conductors, so you can give it a try." ”

"Okay." Zhang Yanzhi nodded with satisfaction.

"On top of that, it's time to create chaos in the city...... Who is responsible for this? I think, Brother Li is in charge. ”

"This ......"

"Why, at this time, you still want to pick up ready-made ones?"

"Yes, yes, yes......" The man sighed and nodded.

Zhang Yanzhi said again: "Don't make any moves now, everyone can hide it, Your Majesty may order to investigate this matter at any time, so ...... Before King Li brings his troops, I will wait...... Don't reveal your own feet, how to hide, where to hide, how to contact at that time, we need to have a charter first! ”

This Yan Zhi is also a ruthless person.

After all, those who dare to play stocks so big, dare not say that there is no one to come, but it is also unprecedented.

He's still pretty sure.

On the one hand, he had already contacted Li Zicheng, and on the other hand, he was confident that the roster in his hands and many ministers who were in collusion with him had to be coerced by him.

After all, his case is too big, and these people can't get out.

No matter how powerful the imperial court and the Donglin Military Academy are, no matter how powerful they have always been, they will eventually be destroyed internally.

At this time, the shareholders understood that the next time was when their lives were at stake, so they did not say anything more, and their hearts dispersed with heavy hearts.

Zhang Yanzhi looked at the lobby that quickly became empty, and couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, he didn't expect that he would come this far.

At first, I just wanted to contract the mine and strive for listing.

After being listed, he found that the stock could only make huge profits, and relying on the profits of the mine was really a drop in the bucket, so he cheated.

After that, he found that he was playing bigger and bigger, and looking at the countless wealth in his hand, he realized that he was already in the crater, so he decided to be cunning.

Today, there is no choice.

He closed his eyes a little tiredly, slowed down for a while, and then opened his eyes again, took a slow sip of tea, and then got up and walked out of the hall quickly.

Outside, there were already several loyal servants of the Zhang family waiting.

Zhang Yanzhi glanced at them and said: "These days, there is no need to leave too many people in the house, the family members are all evacuated to a few secret places to hide, but if there is any news from outside the capital, you must report it to the old man as soon as possible......"

He dropped this sentence, and all the servants bowed down one after another, and Zhang Yanzhi had already gone to the back hall.

………………

At this time, a group of military horses had crossed the river quickly, and then rushed straight to the north.

Everywhere you go, it's scorched earth.

Or rather, it's already scorched earth.

Ten years of changes in the rogues, the officials and the army and the rogues are fighting together, natural disasters and man-made disasters come every year as scheduled, and Guanzhong, Henan, Huainan, Huaibei and other places have long been scorched earth.

Along the way, there were only countless dry bones, and no one gathered these dry bones.

The army continued to march non-stop, and only in rare cases could you see the occasional scrawny people, and these so-called people were often good people when they met officials, and they were outcasts when they met coles, and if they met people along the way, they turned into thieves.

A cavalry, rushing to a certain hill, reined in the horse, overlooking the hill, the winding procession, orderly march, more than ten miles, endless.

The leader of the cavalry, with a dignified appearance, a slightly dark complexion, and a strong force, sat on his horse, his eyes looking directly into the bare forest in the distance.

That's right, it's really a bare forest.

At this time, it was actually spring, but there was hardly any green in this forest.

The bark of the forest tree has long been torn off by someone, and it is even ...... There were still clear tooth marks, but everything that could be eaten seemed to have been eaten, and now there was nothing left.

The leader looked at the objects in front of him gloomily, and he suddenly said in a local accent in Guanzhong: "A year and a half ago, I led the army to cross south from this is today's scene, I never thought that today's Northern Expedition, passing through here, is still such a scene, and I can't imagine the taste of coming here today." ”

A person who followed him gritted his teeth and said: "These faint dog officials, miserable creatures, king, I have already said that if you don't punish these dog thieves today, none of the men and women in the world will have a good life, and the faint king who begged his mother this time is to avenge the people of the world." ”

This person is Liu Zongmin, the general under Li Zicheng's account, Liu Zongmin has the most straightforward temperament, and he does not leave room for action, he is a little short, but very stout, so he wears armor, like an iron tower.

Li Zicheng, who was sitting on the horse, bowed his head and was silent for a long time.

After half a ring, he looked back at the generals and said, "Advance the army in Beijing City, and then make a decision." ”

Liu Zongmin couldn't help but show a look of disappointment.

In fact, within Li Zicheng, the old battalion headed by Liu Zongmin has begun to advocate a severe crackdown on the gentry and corrupt officials, and they do not want to embark on the same path as Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning, and they are forced to rebel by the government, but in the end, they accept the old team of the original Yuan Dynasty and establish a new dynasty.

Of course, some of the newly recruited gentry gradually began to have an impact on Li Zicheng.

These people kept telling Li Zicheng that if he wanted to sit in the world, he would not succeed by relying on the courage of his puppeteers, and that he needed to recruit a wide range of 'talents' before he could change the dynasty and establish a new rule.

In the face of such a controversy, Li Zicheng is more silent, and only when they are on the same page and the trouble is out of control, will he stand up and adjudicate.

In fact, after receiving the secret report from Zhang Yanzhi and others, the reason why Li Zicheng immediately chose to enter the army was that the conditions provided by Zhang Yanzhi were too generous, and with these people as internal responses, the probability of the Northern Expedition was greatly increased.

On the other hand, Li Zicheng has a reason that he has to say in his heart.

That is, the contradictions in Wuchang City have become increasingly intense, and if he continues to sit on the guard, Li Zicheng may not be able to control the situation.

Since this is the case, then simply go on the Northern Expedition, and wait until everything enters the capital before making a conclusion.

Li Zicheng then turned his head again, glanced at a younger general, and said, "Have you sent the letter to King Chuang and General Zhang?" ”

This young man is also good-looking, handsome and handsome, named Li Laiheng, but he is brave and good at fighting, he hugged his fists and said: "It's been sent out." ”

"Good." Li Zicheng nodded, and then said: "Brothers, on weekdays, Lille and others always say that they want to kill the faint king, they want to enter the capital, and they want to go with me to taste the taste of sitting on the dragon chair, and today ......."

He paused, looked at the generals with blazing eyes, and then said: "Today's fighter plane is in front of us, and we have been fighting for thousands of miles, and in the past ten years, we have been running north and south, isn't what we do today?" I know that many brothers have a bird's breath in their hearts, some feel that I am unfair, some feel that I am biased towards our brothers in the old camp, and some people think that I am worn out by the gentle township of Wuchang, damn it! ”

Li Zicheng immediately glared at Liu Zongmin and scolded: "It's you, Liu Laosan, your mouth is the most poisonous, and you don't deal with me everywhere." ”

When Liu Zongmin heard this, he subconsciously took a step back, and when he saw that other people's eyes fell on him, he was ashamed, and he opened his mouth to explain.

Li Zicheng said again: "No matter how you scold and dissatisfied, after all, we are also brothers who slept together at the beginning, and a steamed cake had to be eaten in half." No matter what, it was a man who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood at the beginning. Today, I personally lead the team, Liu Laosan is the striker, and we will go to the capital together. What did you do in the capital? Avenge the brothers who died halfway with us! ”

Liu Zongmin's face suddenly turned red, and the whole person became excited, and he said loudly with a stiff face: "Dare not obey your fate." ”

The rest of Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, etc., also immediately said: "Dare not obey your fate!" ”

Li Zicheng didn't say anything more, hit his horse, and with his personal guards, he rushed down the hill and entered the team that was winding like a long snake.

The people in that team were all high-spirited, although they were wearing various colors of armor, some were even in rags, and some were even thin, and their complexion was like the elm bark of an old peasant, but they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner one by one, and when they saw Li Zicheng enter the team, they immediately cheered.

The generals who stayed on the hill were also in blood at this time, and Liu Zongmin muttered: "I have been a 'traitor' for so many years, and I will be an official or a thief in the future, and this is all there is to it." ”

Li Laiheng looked into the distance coldly and said: "King Gao and General Zhang, if they get the letter, they will definitely go north as promised, and then we will see who enters the capital!" ”
