"Don't take this risk!"

Li Banghua had also come to the city wall at this time, and he saw him clasping his fists, and his face seemed to be a little anxious.

Let's say that since Zhou Shixian rescued Emperor Chongzhen from the palace, Li Banghua no longer dared to despise this young man.

Then, under the command of Zhou Shixian, the convoy broke through the capital without danger and entered Yongqing City, everything seemed to be under the control of the other party, which made Li Banghua even more admired.

Although the convoy is not completely out of danger now, everything is developing in a good way, and in Zhou Shixian's planning, this undoubtedly strengthens the confidence of these soldiers and officials in victory.

This is crucial, without this confidence, with the current situation of the convoy, the defection of soldiers could happen at any time.

As long as a soldier successfully defects, not to mention whether it will cause a leak of military information, so that the Shun army will send a large force of soldiers and horses to pursue and intercept, it will be an extremely serious blow to the morale of this army.

It is no exaggeration to say that today's Zhou Shixian is everyone's reassurance, not only Xue Laoer, Wang Chaodong, Zhu Maozhen, Zhang Hong, these officers, but also Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, Princess Kunxing, Li Banghua, Ni Yuanlu and Tang Ruowang and others.

Regarding Li Banghua's worries, Zhou Shixian was very calm, and he still had to take such a risk.

It's not that Zhou Shixian is young and ill-conceived, and it's not that he is reckless and underestimating the enemy, but that the foundation of his command of this team is violence and money.

At the beginning, the grace and power of the "Ten Kings' Mansion" is the best embodiment.

Stimulate the desires of these blood-licking soldiers with white flowers, and ask the soldiers to awaken cowardice and obedience with the violence that the soldiers are most familiar with, and the only one they are convinced of.

This seems to be unruly, as if it is a helpless move in the chaos, but in such a chaotic world and such a crisis, it is the most rule-abiding one.

You must know that at this time, whoever has a hard fist can run rampant in the world. And wealth needs people with strong fists to keep it, otherwise it is just making wedding dresses for others.

In other words, fists are the rules of this world, and Zhou Shixian is doing things according to the rules.

The time and space he came to seems to be in times that have changed, but human nature has never changed, so the logic of doing things has not changed.

He knew very well where the root of people's inferiority was, so by virtue of the force of Jinyiwei, he obtained money, and with force and money, he controlled more powerful force.

Now, he wants to replicate this model once again, bringing more available soldiers and horses under his command.

The world is very fair, as long as you understand the rules and make good use of the rules, you can make a lot of money.

This applies regardless of the era, unless you meet someone who is far superior to you in force and money, and that is bad luck and blame no one.

"Meng Weng Mo has to worry, only one or two thousand defeated soldiers, this horse can still be taken.

Moreover, they don't know our details, so they can't do it easily, and they shouldn't be here for us, but want to loot the county and get supplies. ”

Zhou Shixian smiled, and then turned his head to look at Xue Lao Er beside him: "Xue Lao Er, if it is the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, are you sure you know them all?" ”

"Don't worry, as long as you are an officer in the Beijing camp, even if your subordinates don't recognize them, they will definitely know someone who has a good relationship with them, and it's no problem to catch up with each other." Xue Lao Er has been standing on the side, and after listening to the conversation between Zhou Shixian and Li Banghua, he is actually a little worried.

Zhou Shixian listened, nodded approvingly, and then looked at Zhang Hong, who had just rushed back: "Zhang Hong, have you investigated the scouts under you?" Are you sure that the rebellious soldiers outside the city are all from the Beijing camp? ”

"Sure, those turtle sons, even if they turn to ashes, old ...... The last general, the last general also recognizes. Zhang Hong clenched his fists, and he was so anxious that he was about to weigh himself in front of Zhou Shixian.

To say that Zhang Hong is full of courage, as soon as he received Zhou Shixian's order, he personally took two sentry horses to the place where the rebellious soldiers were about thirty steps away to reconnoitre, and also greeted the wife of an officer he knew in the Beijing camp.

"Then what do you think, can these people be recruited to protect the Heavenly Family's holy chariot and go south to rebuild the imperial court?" Zhou Shixian didn't beat around the bush, he still had a calm smile on his face, looked at the two people in front of him, and asked straight to the point.

Xue Lao Er and Zhang Hong were silent for a while, and they didn't dare to speak.

Of course, they also knew that 300 escort soldiers and horses were too few, and if they encountered the Shun army, or if the Shun army was desperate to catch up with them, they would not even be able to divide their troops to block the attack. If the horse master wants to recruit some more people, it is understandable, and even take precautions.

But the problem is, the following are all routs, although Zhou Shixian has shown his courage and strategy, but three hundred against two thousand, it is not enough to expose the identity of the saint, only Li Banghua is a minister, can they buy this account?

In the end, they were still worried that Zhou Shixian would not be able to control the situation, this young colt was powerful, but not to the point where they believed that he could handle everything properly.

In other words, although Zhou Shixian has a certain prestige, it is not enough, and even some of its prestige comes from Emperor Chongzhen and the Ming Dynasty, rather than being established step by step by himself.

Establishing his unquestionable authority step by step is very important, and it is related to Zhou Shixian's future great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty, and even his longer-term plans.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Li Banghua, Xue Laoer, Zhang Hong and others are worried and questioned, Zhou Shixian wants to become a person in the entire escort team, and he needs to do more things that others can't do.

Otherwise, why are these generals in the convoy born and died for the sake of your Zhou Shixian's words?

"Why, do you think that this colt can't do it, can't suppress them, or do you think that their ruffians are incurable and irremediable?" Zhou Shixian's face turned pale, and he asked in a cold voice.

"The last general will not dare." When Xue Lao Er and Zhang Hong heard this, they hurriedly bowed their waists and said in unison.

"Do you think they're incurable and incurable?" Zhou Shixian looked at the two of them and asked calmly.

After all, the military discipline of the Ming army and the style of the generals in the army are all light, especially with the deterioration of the finances of the Ming court, after the military salary could not be paid, the generals supported the soldiers and killed the ministers from time to time.

And now, the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty have fallen into the hands of thieves, and these people have become veritable rebels.

"Pony, indeed." Xue Lao Er hurriedly answered: "What the last general is worried about is that these bastards who are ungrateful and don't read Jun's grace don't know the general situation and have no scruples. I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will throw a rat trap and hurt the colt. ”

"Xue Zongqi is right, donkey, those turtle grandchildren don't have a good thing, that is, donkey, you really want to give it a try, and you can't take risks yourself, and you will go to meet them for a while, if they are really loyal, it's not too late for you to go and appease the horse."

Although Zhang Hong is also a veteran oilman, his temperament is more upright and more righteous than others. Zhou Shixian did what he said about the military pay and rewards, and he really took them to escort him, which convinced him, and he secretly made up his mind to follow.

"Otherwise, if any of them don't know what to do and have the heart of rebellion, no one on the Holy Lord's side can afford to protect them. At the end of the general, a small hundred generals, even if they die, it will not hinder the overall situation, but the horse master must not be damaged. ”

"Donkey, what Mr. Zhang Bai said is reasonable!" Li Banghua also hurriedly persuaded: "The old man is a handful of bones, and the way south depends on you." ”

Listening to everyone's persuasion, Zhou Shixian knew that these people were worried. However, these worries are not unreasonable, Zhou Shixian wants to take down those soldiers and horses outside the city, but he will not act recklessly.

After explaining with these henchmen and Li Banghua, Zhou Shixian immediately said his countermeasures.

In fact, it is also very simple, it is nothing more than to prepare for both.

If most of these rebellious soldiers outside the city are unwilling to be thieves and still want to serve the Ming Dynasty, then it will not be difficult to organize and rectify, especially when Zhou Shixian now has money, food and soldiers.

But in terms of weapons and equipment, Zhou Shixian is still powerless for the time being. Moreover, these old soldiers of his must be fully armed to form an advantage over those newly subdued military leaders, so as to deter them.

After all, Zhou Shixian is now betting on tens of thousands of taels of gold and tens of thousands of taels of silver, and this huge wealth is in his hands, and he has to guard against it.

If the situation is just the opposite, and the vast majority of the military leaders outside the city are just thinking about looting, and then going back to their own homes, or going to break in, or they don't look down on their Qincha team at all, then Zhou Shixian will have to fight with them if he wants to break through safely.

But he won't challenge together, as long as the strongest of the armies outside the city is defeated, others will naturally not dare to provoke them again, and even after showing their strength, they may be able to recruit some soldiers and horses.

This is what Zhou Shixian must do, and it is absolutely impossible for these military leaders outside the city to let them leave casually.

Moreover, if it is done, not only can he leave Yongqing safely, continue to go south, and gather troops and horses, but Zhou Shixian's prestige in his small group will also be further improved.

If it is defeated, then there is nothing to say. A group of chaotic soldiers can't solve it, and the difficulties and dangers of going south for more than 2,000 miles, the four towns of Jiangbei, Zuo Liangyu, and the nearly 100,000 Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers under the command of Dolgon, Duoduo, and Azig will inevitably be difficult to deal with.

In fact, this is still a big win-winning thing, Zhou Shixian is not too timid to dare to do it, Xue Laoer and Zhang Hong, and even Li Banghua After listening to Zhou Shixian's explanation, they also felt that they had to do it.

However, Zhou Shixian also made concessions, first sent someone to investigate the situation, and after finding out the situation, he would consider it in the long run.

And Zhang Hong suddenly remembered something at this time, and recommended someone to Zhou Shixian. This person, Zhou Shixian is no stranger - the officer who laughed extremely treacherously.
