Chapter 695: Sure to Win
Li Zicheng mentioned the people in the capital.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was unimpressed.
"I also know some clues about this." Then he looked at Li Zicheng and said: "These people are indeed hateful, but there is nothing to worry about, I can kill them all when I return to the capital." β
Li Zicheng smiled bitterly, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not continue to ask, which showed that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had already won the battle.
It's ridiculous to say.
scolded the faint king of others for ten years, but found that the means of this 'faint king' were far more powerful than he imagined.
The next day, the mighty army set out.
A letter of enclosure and an order from the Emperor of the Apocalypse were also passed back and forth at the same time.
In fact, at this time, it is the real test of the entire Donglin Army.
Because of the resettlement of nearly 200,000 people, it is necessary to ensure that they have food and clothing, which is no longer something that a small Handan County can carry.
Not only that, but how to make sure that they don't disturb the people, and don't even trample on the crops along the way, it's really hard to do these things well.
Fortunately, on the side of the Donglin Army, there was already a plan to deal with it.
The essence of the Donglin Army is to train low-level military attachΓ©s and backbones in the army, these people are not only brave in battle, but the most important thing is that they have a learning course on organizing manpower and material resources in the army.
What makes Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong more relieved is that there is not even a person to detain them.
Just let them go with their subordinates with the army.
Such treatment, where is it like a captive?
So much so that Li Zicheng couldn't help but sigh: "It's been ten years, and I really don't know whether to cry or laugh today." β
Zhang Xianzhong said: "Brother Li also feels like this? β
How can people not feel if they are not plants and trees? Li Zicheng said: "If you don't send someone to guard us, you don't worry about us running away, which means that you can rest assured that if we really escape, we will not be righteous, and pigs and dogs are not as good." Don't say that the brethren look down on us, even if we ourselves look down on ourselves. What's more, they have such confidence, which also confirms the strength of this official army, it seems that in the past few years, the progress of the official army is really a rapid progress, if they did not descend before, I am afraid that now they have become dry bones in the grave. β
Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but sigh and said: "I didn't expect that I would come to this point today, you say...... Brother Lee......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Xianzhong tried hard to lower his voice: "At the beginning, did you ever want to be the Son of Heaven?" β
This is extremely taboo now, and Li Zicheng looked at Zhang Xianzhong very vigilantly, feeling that this grandson wanted to harm himself.
Zhang Xianzhong smiled, and continued to lower his voice: "Actually, to be honest, I thought about it, but now, this idea has long been disillusioned!" I can't finish reading this Ming Qi number, not only can't I finish it, maybe ZTE is hopeful. Now it seems that you look at Your Majesty, and then look at the King of Liaodong County next to Your Majesty, as well as the military ministers who came with you, which one is not shrewd and capable? β
"Damn, I've fallen for those damn readers, these people who read books are really black."
Li Zicheng echoed with his head: "Yes, after all, I still fell for them." β
"What are Brother Li's plans for the future?"
"Intended?" Li Zicheng smiled bitterly: "Now I am disheartened, I can't say, maybe I will enter the temple to be a monk in the future." β
Zhang Xianzhong thought about it and sighed: "I'm different, I still have vulgar thoughts in my heart, but ...... If the world is really peaceful, I want to find a quiet place, write poems every day, and then turn my poems into a collection of essays and deliver them to those who know the goods. β
Li Zicheng said: "I can't think about these things now, I don't know what Liaodong is like, not to mention that it is said that we will establish a peasant and industrial guard and be stationed outside the pass, I don't know what the situation is, let's settle the brothers first." β
"That's right."
β¦β¦β¦
The Emperor of the Apocalypse also has his own agenda.
This victory allowed him to learn some new skills.
To a certain extent, forgiveness and forgiveness for people also made him feel a little comfortable, he thought about the placement of the Liukou, and thought of the situation in the capital, so he couldn't help but call Zhang Jingyi to the front: "Zhang Qing, do you say that these people are sincerely obedient?" β
Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say. β
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was puzzled: "What is the saying that it is difficult to say?" β
Zhang Jing said: "Because the initiative is not in them, but in Your Majesty." If Your Majesty Shengming swept away the maladministration, and the measures of the new deal can win the hearts of the people, teach the people of the world, and really eat a full meal, then what can people like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong do, even if they have different intentions? Even if they still want to rebel, they are afraid that they will not even be able to call anyone. β
"But if the world is still as before, the appointments are all those Liao generals in the past, those who colluded with private businessmen, and those who shelter the insatiable gentry, then even if there is no Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, how many people like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong will be produced in this world? In the final analysis, it is difficult for the minister to answer His Majesty's question, but the answer is actually in His Majesty's heart. β
The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but sigh: "The life and death of thousands of subjects, the honor and disgrace of the ancestors, are all maintained on me?" Fortunately, I have a heart for the people, and I am indeed quite holy, if not, I really don't know what to do. β
That's a bit shameless.
But...... Zhang Jingyi was even more shameless than him: "Yes, if it weren't for Your Majesty's ability to Yao Shun, how could you cheer up Chaogang, and how could you open up the situation like today?" β
The Emperor of the Apocalypse expressed his satisfaction, and then said: "If I am Yao Shun, you are Yi Yin and Lu Shang, and I will not teach you to suffer." β
Zhang Jingyi also expressed his satisfaction, but it is a pity that this kind of satisfaction can only be said by the monarch and ministers behind closed doors, and if it is placed outside, there may not be many people who approve it.
At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse changed his words again and said: "The placement of these rogues is very crucial, and it must not be underestimated, I entrust this matter to you." β
Zhang Jing nodded: "The minister will repair his father in the past few days, let him prepare in Liaodong, and all the expenses will be spent by the minister." β
The two agreed, and immediately, the Emperor of the Apocalypse set his eyes in the direction of the capital, his eyes flashed with a ghostly light, and he was silent for a long time.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Capital......
Zhang Yanzhi is very vigilant these days, he did not live in his own home, but chose to live in a small city god temple in the city under the night.
This temple is not usually explored, he is only dressed as a merchant.
These days, he's always trying to find a way to keep in touch with the outside of the city.
When he learned that Li Zicheng poured out of the nest and went to the capital, he finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then...... There were secret envoys sent by Li Zicheng one after another, and I heard that Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong also led 100,000 troops to the north, which was like a reassuring pill for Zhang Yanzhi.
But after that, there were no more letters.
This made Zhang Yanzhi frightened, so he hurriedly sent someone to investigate, and only then did he find out...... It turned out that His Majesty had learned that Li Zicheng had sent people to kill him, blockaded all the main roads in Gyeonggi, and forbade the news.
This makes Zhang Yanzhi like an ant on a hot pot.
It's just that the more this time, the more he doesn't dare to send people to deliver letters.
After all...... It's too dangerous, once he is found out, he secretly colludes with Li Zicheng, this is looking for death! But once the contact was cut off, it made Zhang Yanzhi even more restless.
He's like a headless fly now, and it's terrifying...... He knew very well that if Li Zicheng did not bring troops into Beijing this time, when the Emperor of the Apocalypse returned to Beijing, it would be time to find him to settle accounts after the autumn.
He knew better than anyone that the facts he had committed were too big.
And the methods of the faint monarch are already vicious, and they will never spare him.
Therefore, the only thing he can do now is ...... Raise things in the capital.
All shareholders have been included in the list, and in addition, there are some guards and dead soldiers that the Zhang family has kept in the capital on weekdays.
There are not many of these people, but Sheng Zai has long been tied to the same boat as the Zhang family.
However, Zhang Yanzhi also knows very well that relying on these people alone is far from enough.
Unless......
Pinching your fingers.
He had already calculated that the Liukou in Wuchang was afraid that he had already entered Beizhili at this time.
At this most critical time, he was determined to ...... Do it.
"Prepare the car!"
He got into a soft sedan chair, came out of the small city god temple, and then ...... The sedan chair almost went around in the capital for most of the circle, as if it was afraid of being followed, and when it was determined that no one was tracking, the sedan chair turned into an alley.
Finally...... Stopped in front of a mansion.
Zhang Yanzhi sat in the sedan chair and said, "Take my prayer post." β
The palanquin man took the greeting note handed over and went to the door.
After a while, someone came to report: "Master...... The house said that their master was not feeling well......"
"Huh...... Not feeling well......"
Zhang Yanzhi, who was sitting in the sedan chair, smiled evilly, and said in an inaudible voice: "When I took our shares, he was very energetic, but now he wants to hide from things, can he hide in the past?" β
After that, he said, "Take my prayer post again, tell the other party, and say...... There are some things I don't understand about the account here, so I beg for advice. β
"Yes."
So after a while, at last, the middle door of the mansion opened.
A person who looked like a housekeeper walked out, saluted Zhang Yanzhi's sedan chair, and said in a low voice: "My master said that Mr. Zhang doesn't have to get off the sedan chair and enter the house, so he might as well use the sedan chair to carry it in." β
Zhang Yanzhi didn't say anything, but the sedan chair was already swaying, and under the guidance of the housekeeper, he went directly into the house.
Subsequently, the sedan chair landed in front of a flower hall.
This is obviously the backyard, and the hall in front of it is full of people, and it is obvious that the owner of this place is afraid of being seen, so he chose this place.
As soon as the sedan curtain was lifted, I saw the owner here smile and said: "Your guests are coming, no wonder there are finches on the branches this morning." β
