In the third year of Chongzhen, Wang Jiayin ate the northern part of Shaanxi, and now he is facing a crisis that more than 100,000 people under his command have no food and drink.

The strategists under his command said: At present, there are only two roads in front of the righteous army, one is to fight out of Shaanxi, develop to the land of Shanxi and Henan, survive and create a foundation.

Secondly, go south to take Lantian, Lantian is a rich land in Shaanxi, Li Chaosheng of Zhixian County has a good governance, and can support tens of thousands of loads of grain and grass for the imperial court every year, if we take Lantian, we will be able to turn the danger into a disaster, and we can also remove the grain land of the Shaanxi border army, and the Shaanxi border army has no food to eat from now on, which is the best policy.

Wang Jiayin discussed with the generals under his command, and everyone hit it off and wanted to go to Lantian to do business, but only one person was unwilling, this person was Wang Jiayin's fierce general, named Liu Zongmin, this person was from Lantian, and everyone saw that he was unwilling, so they asked the reason.

Liu Zongmin said: "Li Chaosheng is this person, I know that at the beginning, there were six bandits in Lantian County, and each bandit had thousands of people, known as the six overlords. ”

"As a result, it was easily slaughtered by this Li Chaosheng, forcing me to flee to northern Shaanxi and take refuge in the king, and now in recent years, I heard that this person has developed rapidly, and his soldiers are full of food, and the bandits near Lantian are under his command, so Lantian is not easy to fight, on the contrary, Shanxi, Henan and other places, the precautions are not strict, and we will enter and win a big victory and make a big profit."

Listening to Liu Zongmin's words, Deputy Marshal Wang said unhappily: "Liu Zongmin, you actually said something to increase the momentum of others and destroy the prestige of your own family, he Lantian County, just a county, even if you can raise a few soldiers, as soon as my hundreds of thousands of troops are on it, they can be slaughtered in an instant, and then we will have food, Hong Chengchou and others will have no food, and this Shaanxi is ours." ”

"That's it, that's it, Shaanxi is our hometown, people are familiar, and people are not familiar with it in another place, when the time comes, maybe you will lose your head, I think you should fight Lantian, Liu Zongmin, if you are afraid, you will stay, Lao Tzu will take someone to fight."

"Haha...... Liu Zongmin, no matter how powerful you are, you are an ironworker, your vision is not long-term, and your homeland is difficult to leave, so we don't want to go to Shanxi, we have to stay in Shaanxi. ”

"Yes, we will stay in Shaanxi and not go anywhere."

Wang Ziyong started with his own use, and a group of thieves below rushed to show their loyalty and scolded Liu Zongmin.

Liu Zongmin's face was full of anger, he hated to kill these guys, but they were all lackeys, and the one who really stirred up trouble was the deputy alliance leader sitting next to the alliance leader, Wang Ziyong.

This person has nothing to do with Liu Zongmin, mainly because Liu Zongmin had a dispute with his subordinates, and taught the subordinates who are not long-sighted, Wang Ziyong is a person who protects calves, so he looks down on him very much, and targets him everywhere.

If it weren't for Wang Jiayin's liking of Liu Zongmin, maybe Liu Zongmin would have been forced away by Wang Ziyong.

At this time, all the thieves opposed Liu Zongmin together, and the main general who had a seat in the tent was only Wang Ziyong to speak, and Gao Yingxiang on the side did not say a word, his expression was indifferent, but at this time, seeing everyone reprimanding Liu Zongmin, a strong man under Gao Yingxiang stood up and said: "Alliance leader, deputy alliance leader, the last general thinks that Liu Zongmin's words are reasonable, we should go to Shanxi, Henan, instead of fighting hard with Lantian Li Chao, the strength of Lantian County, everyone knows, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses if we take Lantian." ”

"It's better to enter Shanxi, the soldiers and horses in Shanxi are not as good as Shaanxi, and although there have been disasters in Shanxi in the past two years, but the landlord's family has a lot of surplus grain, which is enough to feed us, and the most important thing is Shaanxi, Henan has many people, if we want to become bigger, we must have more people to join, Shaanxi has not enough people to provide us."

The strong man hugged his fists and said, Hearing this, Wang Jiayin touched his beard and thought it was reasonable, who could this person have such an opinion?

Wang Jiayin thought about it and wanted to ask, but Wang Ziyong on the side was the first to speak: "Who are you, the leaders speak, do you have the right to speak?" ”

Hearing this, the strong man was neither humble nor arrogant, and hugged his fists and said: "A certain Li Zicheng is now the commander of General Gao Yingxiang. ”

Hearing this, Wang Ziyong looked at Gao Yingxiang who was not speaking on the side, the current organizational structure of the Righteous Army is Commander Wang Jiayin, Deputy Commander Wang Ziyong, and the No. 3 person who calls himself Gao Yingxiang, a general.

These three people are currently the leaders of the righteous army, as for the previous one, that is Wang Er of Baishui Shouyi, after joining forces with Wang Jiayin, he gave the first hand to Wang Jiayin, who was more capable, and Wang Er became his deputy.

It was only in 1629 that in the second year of Chongzhen, Wang Er's department was surrounded and suppressed by Yang He with a large army, and was finally killed by Liu Yingyu, a soldier of Shaanxi Shangluo.

At that time, Shen Yikui, who had a good relationship with Yang He, wanted to ask Yang He for marriage, but Yang He didn't give face at all, and said: All thieves can be forgiven, but the king and the second cannot be forgiven, this is His Majesty's order.

There is no way that Wang Er's influence is too great, Wang Er will not die, even if the rebel army will not be destroyed, Chongzhen hates this ignorant civilian to death, doesn't this damn civilian know how hard I Chongzhen worked, how hard I worked to govern this country, you dare to rebel, if you don't kill you, kill whom?

Chongzhen felt very aggrieved, in fact, Wang Er was even more aggrieved, if you don't work hard, I'm about to starve to death, you tell me that you work hard and have a dime to do it?

You work hard, but we can't eat, the harder you work, the worse we live, do we still have to sympathize with you?

Chongzhen didn't care if he was very wronged, he wanted to kill people, only blood could calm his restless heart, so Emperor Chongzhen ordered Wang Er to be killed, and Wang Er died because of this.

This is the end of the first peasant uprising in each dynasty, whether it is Chen Sheng and Wu Guang of the Qin Dynasty, or Han Shantong and others at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Shouyi almost represents death.

Because the first righteous goal is big and famous, it will become the first target of the dynasty, so the probability of his death will be very large, Wang Er died like this, as soon as he died, Wang Ziyong took the throne, and began to frantically promote his henchmen and recruit talents.

Gradually, there was a sense of overthrowing Wang Jiayin in the camp, but Wang Jiayin was the old leader after all, and Wang Jiayin was not the master who was slaughtered by others, so he supported Gao Yingxiang and formed a relationship of mutual checks and balances.

Therefore, Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang are very disagreeable, or this kind of disagreement is also intentional by Wang Jiayin.

If there are many people, there will naturally be gangs, and some gangs will naturally have their own interest groups, so there must be a lot of dirt between each other, this is inevitable, and there is no way to do it.

Wang Ziyong opened his mouth to scold Li Zicheng, but Gao Yingxiang on the side said lightly: "Brother Wang, the discussion under the account of the marshal is to speak freely, I think Li Zicheng's words are reasonable, he should go out of Shaanxi, and he should not trap the beast and fight to the death in Shaanxi." ”

As soon as Gao Yingxiang's words came out, Wang Ziyong glanced at Gao Yingxiang and said, "Brother Gao, you are too protective of your subordinates." ”

Wang Ziyong said, at this time he gave a look to a person standing with his hands down, that person had yellow skin, and was wearing a chain mail taken from the body of the general of the Ming army, and then stepped forward and said: "Since it is to speak freely, the last general will also say a word, I agree with the opinion of the deputy marshal, rob Lantian County." ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they looked over, this person was Zhang Xianzhong, the first fierce general under Wang Ziyong, who had just surrendered to Chengcheng and was promoted at the speed of light, at this time Zhang Xianzhong hugged his fists and said: "Just now Brother Li said that we can't trap Shaanxi, I agree, so we have to fight Lantian, Lantian is in southern Shaanxi, the degree of wealth, it goes without saying, to feed half of Shaanxi's border army." ”

"And I heard that the people there are fierce, and it is a rare place to supplement the soldiers, as long as we take Lantian, we can use the power of Lantian to continue south, enter Shuzhong, and conquer Sichuan."

"Sichuan is the country of abundance, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as Sichuan is laid, we can have a solid base, when the time comes, we can look at the Central Plains, retreat can occupy Shuzhong as the king, and establish a country on its own, so it is the best policy, what do you think?"

Zhang Xianzhong's strategic vision is definitely not comparable to a group of thieves present, and the eyes of the thieves present are round, and they occupy Shuzhong as the king.

This is already a big cake for this group of thieves who have no ambitions, and their eyes widened one by one.

Li Zicheng looked at Zhang Xianzhong, and actually felt a sense of sympathy, but he didn't agree with Zhang Xianzhong's idea, and staying in one place was not a long-term solution after all.

It's a good strategy to go south to take Sichuan, but is Sichuan so easy to take? Sichuan has the most powerful army of the Ming Dynasty, the White Pole Army, and also has the strongest female general of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Liangyu.

The pillar of the country, the legendary woman, fight with her, Li Zicheng does not feel that he has the certainty of victory, unless he uses endless soldiers and horses to drown her.

But that should be later, the most important thing now should be to advance into the Central Plains, although the Central Plains is a place of four wars, but there is no ambition to swallow the world, why should you rebel, run to a mountain to be a bandit is not the same can live?

So he wanted to refute, but at this time Wang Jiayin spoke: "Okay, Zhang Xianzhong is right, the land of Sichuan can be used as a foundation, of course, the road to the south is not easy, in this way, this time make a two-step plan, go south to attack Lantian County, if you can take Lantian County, use Lantian as a springboard, and enter Sichuan." ”

"If it doesn't work, go to Shanxi and eat the food of the old west."

Wang Jiayin made a decision, everyone didn't say much, Wang Jiayin could still be the master, so Wang Jiayin began to arrange troops, as soon as their righteous army moved, Hong Chengchou and Yang He's border army would definitely follow, and then the two forces would be strangled, so their large army could not attack Lantian County, but to drag Hong Chengchou and let his men lead troops and horses to attack Lantian County.

Therefore, in this battle, the main general Wang Jiayin, led Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, not muddy, and so on, and the army led 200,000 troops to drag Hong Chengchou's main force, and then divided 50,000 troops, by Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, three new generals, as well as Lao Huihui, Black Evil God, two veterans each led 10,000 horses from their headquarters to attack Lantian County.

As soon as the order was issued, that night, Li Chaosheng of Lantian County got Wang Jiayin's detailed list of troops, and there was no way Li Zicheng's hardcore subordinate, Li Shichao, who was in charge of the guard battalion, but Li Zicheng, the core figure of Li Zicheng's small team, Li Zicheng returned to the camp, and this kind of strategic deployment could not be hidden from Li Shichao at all, so Li Shichao directly passed the news and sent it to Lantian County in the form of a telegram.

It can be said that Li Chaosheng knew the news much earlier than most of the soldiers under Wang Jiayin, which is unreasonable, Bai Shoumin took the list to Li Chaosheng.

The above is the detailed information of the five people who sent troops this time, as well as the resolution discussed by everyone in the military tent tonight, Li Chaosheng especially focused on the words of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, these two people are heroic for a while, but Zhang Xianzhong's mind is slightly inferior to Li Zicheng, one is to establish himself as a king, and the other is to fight the world.

A little rich is safe, a person has great ambitions, so it is Li Zicheng who will overthrow the imperial court in the future, not Zhang Xianzhong, this makes sense, Zhang Xianzhong's heart is not as big as Li Zicheng, he is too satisfied.

Li Chaosheng looked at the intelligence, the five people who attacked Lantian County this time are all big names in the future, Li Zicheng, the first person in the future righteous army, the ruthless man who forced Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself, can be regarded as the son of destiny in the future, but he doesn't have to worry, Li Zicheng is strong, but he has planted spies around him.

Knowing himself and knowing his opponent, he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, he has mastered the deployment of the army by himself, why should he win himself.

This is the crushing of intelligence, so Li Zicheng is not worried, followed by Zhang Xianzhong, this kid is a ruthless man, in the future, he will cooperate with the soldiers to enter Sichuan, kill the Sichuan people, and establish himself as the king of Daxi, and then he led the Sichuan people to resist the Qing Dynasty, but Sichuan was made by him to make the people not one out of ten, and finally forced the Manchu Qing to have no choice, and came to fill Sichuan with two Guangzhous during the Kangxi period.

The killer demon Zhang Xianzhong is a masterpiece of the moment.

As for Luo Rucai, Li Chaosheng has also heard of it, he is a ruthless man who can break his wrists with the above two people, he was born in a gangster, he is cunning, and he calls himself Cao Cao.

However, compared with Cao Cao, there is a world of difference, and it can only be said that it is similar to an idol naming method, such as Sai Mengwei, sick Qin Qiong and the like, but he directly removed the analogy of Sai and disease.

Directly to Cao Cao, I have to say that he is a brazen person, this person has followed Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, and also surrendered to Hong Chengchou in the middle, when Zhang Xianzhong fought Sichuan, he made a contribution, but he was educated by Qin Liangyu to be a man, and later contradicted Zhang Xianzhong, and went to Li Zicheng, but his capricious behavior, plus there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Li Zicheng is not the same heart, which greatly hinders the process of Li Zicheng's monopoly on military power, so he was attacked and killed by Li Zicheng.

has become a stepping stone on the road to Li Zicheng's breakthrough, but this is also a famous figure in history, and a gangster can do this step, I have to say, it can't be underestimated.
