Chapter 86 Want to Break the Giant Wave and Ride the Long Wind (2)
Before Li Zicheng got Niu Jinxing, he could be said to be a real bandit. He led a large number of refugees to sweep around, killing the rich and helping the poor, and opening a warehouse to release grain. However, at that time, he would not use it if he robbed the territory. The generals left behind did not collect grain from the people, but all seized and competed from the powerful and wealthy families.
Under this situation, no one thinks that the thieves can become a climate, and will sooner or later be wiped out by the court. However, after the juren Niu Jinxing arrived at the camp, he opened a window for Li Zicheng, allowing Li Zicheng to know what kind of ecological circle the entire Ming society was, where he belonged, as well as the allies to unite and the enemies to attack.
The vision is sometimes useless, but sometimes it can bring about earth-shaking changes. When Li Zicheng adopted Niu Jinxing's suggestion, less punishment, win people's hearts, and selects officials to govern the area. From the slogan of not paying food to three years of exemption from taxes and resuming production, everything became orderly and no longer a rush, which undoubtedly gave him the confidence to seize the world.
Li Zicheng knew this change clearly, so he was extremely courteous and even respectful to scholars, especially scholars. Later, he recruited Song Xiance, Yang Yongyu and others, and found that scholars were indeed useful, so he sincerely refused to kill them.
Gu Junen is an example now. Mr. Gu’s plan has always been simple and clear, and he will hit the nail on the head. Since he said that there was a way to cut off Sun Chuanting’s life, it would definitely not be Meng Lang’s statement.
Gu Junen also knew that there were different military generals among civil officials. As long as the military generals conquered the city and land, they would be a meritorious, but the merits of civil officials were "simple in the heart of the emperor". Niu Jinxing was the first to enter the camp and his status was consolidated. Song Xian made strange plans and tricks, entrusting ghosts and gods, which was most in line with the wishes of Li Zicheng, who was a peasant family. Under the attack of the two, Gu Junen knew that he wanted to make a breakthrough. He could only make enough momentum in each strategy, leaving Li Zicheng the impression that he had to "I must be".
Sun Chuanting was ordered to encircle and suppress the rebel army in the ninth year of Chongzhen, killing the leader of the rebel army, and others, with outstanding military achievements. At first, he was under Yang Sichang. Because he was not in harmony with Yang Sichang, he was framed by Sichang and was imprisoned. Later, Sichang died. No one in the world could supervise Shanshan. Chongzhen was captured by the rebel king Gao Yingxiang and beat Li Zicheng to the point of leaving only eighteen cavalry to escape into the mountains. Then he regained his orders and was appointed as the governor of the Three Borders.
If this nail could be removed in one fell swoop, Gu Junen firmly believed that his position in the Li family would be worry-free.
"Sun Chuanting's man will definitely not go back to the prison." Gu Junen tried hard to say in Li Zicheng's familiar tone: "Now that he is going to leave Tongguan, the first thing he wants to conquer Luoyang."
Li Zicheng's thick eyebrows were slightly beating and he didn't say anything.
"Let's let him fight." Gu Junen said simply: "As long as he has the merit of regaining Luoyang, it is enough to prove that the Qin soldiers are still strong soldiers in the world and can fight. At that time, even if Sun Thief wants to stop, he will not be able to stop."
"Yes, the emperor must ask him to send troops!" Li Zicheng said one thing: "If he refuses, he will resist the order."
Gu Junen nodded: "We can throw some prefectures and counties to him and let him fight step by step. There are several meanings in this. First, the more places he occupies, the more troops he will be assigned to guard. Since we have claimed the regain, it will be his fault when we fight back in the future. Second, we will not pay grain and not disturb the people. We only rob the money and grain of the big households. Sun Chuanting cannot. If he wants to collect grain and grass, he has to exploit the common people and return the land to those big households, otherwise his emperor in Beijing will not agree."
This simple class theory made Li Zicheng very clear that his basis was the grass-roots people and the enemy was the big family. He never hoped to live in harmony with those juren and Jinshi masters, but simply regarded them as fat sheep that could be slaughtered. Facts have proved that killing a big family is much more abundant than robbing ten small households. Since that is the case, why collect grain again? You can also buy a good reputation.
"Three times, the Qin soldiers are all Shaanxi people." Gu Junen looked at the face of the big man in Shaanxi in front of him: "The further away from Shaanxi, the more home-loss you miss, and the battle becomes a smooth battle. You will inevitably have the idea of regaining your favor and going home to farm. In this way, your spirit will be lost. As long as we bring them in, we can fight you no matter how we want."
Li Zichen pondered for a moment: "Well, what sir said is reasonable!"
"Marson," Niu Jinxing said, "Henan has suffered natural disasters over the years, and it is a thousand miles away. When will the army be outside eat and eat horses? Let's give up the territory, leave the people to them, and take away all the food, and see how they do it!"
"That's right," Song Xiance echoed, "In this way, the anger of heaven and people are all blamed by them, and it seems that we are the rebels who advocate righteousness in heaven!"
Li Zicheng's strategy of clearing the walls and luring the enemy into the deep, which was already in love with Gu Junen, was approved by the other two planners and trusted him more. He immediately shouted: "Double joy!"
Li Shuangxi, who was on duty outside the door, heard the call of his own marshal, hurried in, clasped his fists and saluted: "Marantor! My child is here."
Li Zicheng had no descendants, and Li Shuangxi followed him for many years and was loyal to him. At this time, from the families of officials and ordinary people, he had the spirit of accepting adopted sons. In the army, he even regarded adopted sons as his confidant. Even the famous Jin King Li Dingguo is now Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son.
"I'm going to go: the army starts from now on and heads south of Jia County. From Tongguan to Jia County, there are only mailers and horses and no receivables at night to inquire about information and convey military information. In all counties and counties, there is no need to prepare guards, they will give them the opportunity!" Li Zicheng waved his hand and said with great energy.
Li Shuangxi responded and sent out Li Zicheng's order.
Li Zicheng thanked Gu Junen and others, dispersed the small military conference, and patroled the camp. The three scholars each had their own offices and had documents to deal with, so they did not follow Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng went to the camp below and asked about the newly recruited soldiers. He met a brother who had to die and died. He explained what should be explained and comforted what should be comforted. Among them, conflicts between the battalions should be reconciled, and the division of territory in the future should be negotiated. Those who dare to form cliques should be cracked down on them even more severely.
After working all day, Li Zicheng found that Niu Jinxing advised him to establish a country and establish a title, and to clarify the ranks of the superiors and inferiors, and to unify the orders of the unified orders are still very useful. Not to mention anything else, let’s look at the men of the Zhu Dynasty. Who dares to bargain with the emperor? People are still humans, but when wearing dragon robes, they are even taller than others.
Thinking of Niu Jinxing's suggestion, Li Zicheng was a little unconfident. Legend has it that the emperors are all the sons of God, can anyone do it? If he becomes an emperor, will he collect taxes? Will he slap himself in the face after collecting taxes? I, Li Zicheng, is a good man, how can I do such a thing? Li Zicheng sighed softly, and suddenly thought of someone, and his heart moved: Let's persuade him again, maybe he won't be moved.
After a while, Li Zicheng brought his personal guards to Tanxi Temple outside Xiangyang City.
Tanxi Temple was first built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It has a five-story pagoda and four hundred monks' houses. It was a famous temple in the two lakes for a long time. However, the world is now turbulent, and this thousand-year-old temple is no longer as prosperous as it was back then. It is just that there have been great monks and masters presenting the Buddha's name here in history, so it still remains the style of a famous temple.
Li Zicheng has been here several times, and every time he takes advantage of the opportunity to return home. He entered the temple gate, called the monk from Zhike, and asked, "Who has been here these days?"
The monk was a native of Xiangyang. When he saw Li Zicheng, he said tremblingly: "Bing Qiansui, these days, only the Minister of the Military Government, Qiu Zhitao, came here every day, and was scolded after saying a few words."
"That kid is really not lazy." Li Zicheng grinned and said, "Well, go and take a look."
The monk in charge of the guest quickly bowed and asked King Li to come in.
Li Zicheng walked vigorously and did not worship the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. He only came to a tightly guarded monk house, took a sip, and shouted loudly: "Brother! Come on!"
There were heavy sounds of closing books in the room, and there was no other movement.
Li Zicheng had become accustomed to it, laughed at him and said to himself: The more capable a person is, the bigger his temper will be. What can those literati who kneel down to beg for mercy when they see him? When this elder brother follows the will of heaven, he may be like a dragon and phoenix chick!
Li Zicheng pushed and followed him, pushed the door and walked in with enthusiasm, and said, "Brother, it's cold."
A heat came to my face, and it turned out that a brazier had already burned inside.
This is naturally Li Zicheng's care and smiled with satisfaction: "What book are you reading?"
The middle-aged man after the book was only about forty years old, but his hair was gray and looked even older. He pushed open the seat, walked to the futon in the middle of the house without saying a word, and sat cross-legged in front of the portrait of Bodhidharma without making any sound. As expected, he was like an old monk entering into meditation.
After Li Zicheng detoured the book case, he looked at the book cover on the table, and saw that the name "The Sutra of Shurangama Sutra of the Great Buddha's Secret Causes of the Tathagata's Secret Causes of the Great Buddha's Plate and Verification of the Meaning of the All Bodhisattvas' Ten Thousand Practices". Li Zicheng was able to read, but could not break the sentences, and knew nothing about Buddhist scriptures. His eyes passed over the book cover and carefully looked at the middle-aged man sitting on the cushion.
If you look closely, this person looks a bit similar to Li Zicheng. His eyes are slightly deeper, his nose is straight, and his square face seems to have edges and corners. Someone outside heard the Grand Marshal call this person "Big Brother", and when he sees this person's appearance, some people believe it and regard the scribe as Marshal Li's family.
"Brother, when it comes to speaking, I treat you with great etiquette. You are so quiet and seem too unkind." Li Zicheng had forgotten when the last time he was humble and kind to ask someone to speak.
"A traitor, don't be a son!" The middle-aged scholar finally spoke, his whole body trembling, and his voice became louder and louder: "Thief! Why don't you kill me quickly! I'm loyal!"
Li Zicheng's teeth itched, and a sense of unyielding feeling in his heart. He refused to kill this person. He smiled and said, "You are the brothers who fight tigers and father and son soldiers. You are a family, how can you say such unkind words? It doesn't matter if you refuse to be the Minister of the Military Government. As long as you write a memorial for me and give it to you Emperor Zhu, I will let you go back to your hometown."
"Don't think about it!" the scribe refused firmly, leaving no room for anything. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
