Chapter 829: Zhang Xianzhong's Wishful Thinking (Second Update)
Zhang Xianzhong, the king of the Great West, doesn't have any affection now.
He and Li Zicheng once called brothers and sisters, Zhang Xianzhong was known as the eight kings, their two difficult brothers and brothers each took their brothers to fight side by side against the Ming army, and when they couldn't win the Ming army, they faked surrender together, and then turned against the water, and played the Ming Emperor together, until the last Ming Emperor Chongzhen was hanged.
He had completely forgotten about this friendship.
Zhang Xianzhong's thief nature was exposed, and he couldn't help but eat the fat in his mouth, and he couldn't wait to grab Li Zicheng's territory and men and horses at once and belong to his Great Western Army.
Zhang Xianzhong immediately ordered his subordinates to attack from all sides, including the kings of Pingdong, Funan, Anxi, and Dingbei, and the five armies under his command all supervised hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, all of which took action to expand their territory.
Now except for the defeat of Pingdong King Sun Kewang in Yiling, the other three kings are like a bamboo, except for Sichuan, now the southern part of Shaanxi and the northern part of Yunnan and Guizhou have all become Zhang Xianzhong's sphere of influence.
In these places, the old warlords of the Ming Dynasty were leveled, and those who died died, those who surrendered, and those who fled.
In addition, in the areas of Hanzhong, Ankang and Yunyang in southern Shaanxi, in order to compete for territory, Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army and Wu Sangui's men and horses clashed for a time, and the two sides won and lost each other, each with casualties.
The second thing is that Zhang Xianzhong wants his godson to marry a disciple of the Emei faction.
Because Zhang Xianzhong also saw the importance of the power of the martial arts in the rivers and lakes.
The reason why Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was able to bring the Ming Dynasty back to life, the Battle of Shanhaiguan, defeated Dolgon and Wu Sangui, including Li Zicheng, and was invincible, was because he was Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, and united and called on a group of Jianghu martial arts forces to fight for him and fight for the Ming Dynasty.
A master of martial arts in the rivers and lakes can reach thousands of horses and thousands of troops wherever he goes.
Zhang Xianzhong also saw this, because in the process of establishing the Onishi regime, he was supported by the martial arts masters of the Qingcheng faction.
Those Daming Jiancheng that can't be attacked for a long time, and the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals who can't be won, Gu Qingcheng and the four ghosts of Qingcheng will be solved as soon as they come out.
But now he also realizes that the support of the Qingcheng faction alone is far from enough, because Zhang Xianzhong's ambition is not only to be the king of the west in Sichuan, he wants to seek the world.
And now the situation in front of him is relatively grim, Li Zicheng can't resist the attack of the Ming army and Wu Sangui, the vigorous Dashun is like a flash in the pan, and Li Zicheng has become a thief again.
The reason why Wu Sangui and Chongzhen's Ming army was able to win was because Chongzhen and Wu Sangui had the support of a large number of martial arts masters.
The reason why Li Zicheng was defeated was because he lost the support of martial arts masters.
Now looking at the whole world, there are only his Daxi and Wu Sangui's pseudo-Ming, and the orthodox Daming of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, and there will be a fierce battle sooner or later.
Therefore, he must accumulate strength as soon as possible and win over all the forces that can be pulled.
And Zhang Xianzhong now has a think tank under his hands.
His left and right prime ministers Wang Zhaolin and Yan Ximing are also resourceful and decisive, and his Daxi Kingdom also has six departments, Wang Guolin, Jiang Dingzhen, Gong Wanjing, etc., are not idle meals.
can give him advice.
Now what he wants to win over is the Emei faction. Although the head of the Emei faction, Wuchen Shitai, had already agreed to come forward to help him.
But he felt that the strength was not enough, and these martial arts people were too transmuted. Aren't the so-called famous and decent Shaolin Wudang around Li Zicheng a living example?
At the beginning, they worked hard for Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng also won many battles. But later, he abandoned Li Zicheng and left, and all of them fell to Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.
He had to hold the Emei faction firmly in his hands.
Now that the Qingcheng faction has been bought by him with a lot of money, he can see through that Qingcheng, the leader of the Qingcheng faction, is a mercenary money fan.
The Qingcheng faction became his iron fan.
But the Emei faction didn't get any benefits from him, the dustless master saw through the red dust too much, and regarded money as dung, if he wanted to catch the Emei faction in his hands, his subordinates gave him ideas, and the only way was to marry.
Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed when he heard this.
There are four disciples under the dustless master of the Emei faction, and the people in the rivers and lakes call the four great swordsmen of Emei, these four disciples are not only strong in martial arts, but also look like flowers and jade, and they are all single until now.
Because these four swordsmen are all extremely arrogant, they can't look down on ordinary martial arts masters at all, and they haven't met anyone stronger than them, and the four swordsmen of Emei belong to the kind of characters who are high and low.
Now these four swordsmen are all older leftover girls in their twenties, and they are also worried about this matter.
She is now a nun, should her four disciples also become nuns? In a few years, won't their Emei faction be extinct?
The dustless master wants to carry forward the Emei faction, and will no longer be led by the nose by Shaolin and Wudang, their Emei faction has a dominant family, and they want to overwhelm Shaolin and Wudang and become the first martial arts sect in the world.
The Emei faction is also looking for support.
At this time, Zhang Xianzhong sent his left prime minister Wang Zhaolin to propose marriage with a lot of money, and the dustless old nun was very happy with Zhang Xianzhong's good intentions. If even one of her 4 apprentices can marry one of Zhang Xianzhong's 4 godsons, then their Emei faction will have a political future in the future.
