Chapter 125: Audience
Song Xiance is actually a liar who is proficient in divination, and uses this method to pretend to be a ghost and deceive, and it cannot be said that he has no ability, he is still stronger than ordinary people's vision, and he is very good at observing words and feelings, so since he took refuge in Li Zicheng, because he is clever and has won Li Zicheng's trust, many things have to be asked to Song Xiance.
The reason why Song Xiance encouraged Li Zicheng to be the emperor is actually to put it bluntly, because he is very dissatisfied with Xiao Tianjian, originally Song Xiance and Niu Jinxing met, and was quite valued by Niu Jinxing, for this reason, after Niu Jinxing defected to Xiao Tianjian, under his selfish intentions, in order to gain a more consolidated position under Xiao Tianjian, he wanted to pull Song Xiance into the gang and become his help, so he once recommended Song Xiance to Xiao Tianjian.
But Niu Jinxing didn't expect that Xiao Tianjian was not interested in the half-body ghost thing, he was more appreciative of the dignified and upright shot and knife to fight the world, so he didn't pay attention to Niu Jinxing's recommendation, the result was that Song Xiance was waiting for Xiao Tianjian to send someone to invite, looking forward to being able to enter the Xingtian Army, with his three-inch tongue mixed with an official and a half-position, from then on the glory of the ancestors, but he didn't want to wait and wait, Xiao Tianjian didn't pay attention to his stubble at all, and after Niu Jinxing recommended Song Xiance, he turned a deaf ear to him, He didn't send anyone to ask Song Xiance to go out of the mountain at all.
After Song Xiance learned that Xiao Tianjian was not interested in dealing with him at all, he was disappointed and hated Xiao Tianjian, and said in his heart Since your surname Xiao doesn't want to see Lao Tzu, how can Lao Tzu hang himself on your crooked neck tree? There is no place to stay here, after thinking about it again and again, the Ming court will definitely not become, as for the construction of slave Song Xiance is not considered at all, at this time there is still a competition with Xiao Tianjian at this time only Li Zicheng, so simply Song Xiance went straight to Hanzhong, and after being recommended by others, he voted to Li Zicheng.
After a short period of time, Song Xiance stood out under Li Zicheng and became Li Zicheng's most important adviser, when he learned that Xiao Tianjian was the emperor in Nanjing and established the news of the Great Middle Dynasty, Song Xiance encouraged Li Zicheng to also be the emperor in Shaanxi, one is to hope that Li Zicheng will not lose to Xiao Tianjian at least in name, and can be on an equal footing with Xiao Tianjian in name, and the other reason is also to hope that Li Zicheng can use this identity as an emperor to recruit more soldiers and horses to compete with Xiao Tianjian, in short, Song Xiance wants to add to Xiao Tianjian's blockage, to avenge Xiao Tianjian's ignorance of him.
But after Song Xiance instigated Li Zicheng to be the emperor, he found that it was actually quite stupid to do so, with Li Zicheng's strength, he was now unable to compete with Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian had actually ruled Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, Nanzhili, Sichuan and Funan, and even the northern Shaanxi area had become Xiao Tianjian's sphere of influence, and its strength had far exceeded Li Zicheng's ten times or even more than a hundred times, so Li Zicheng wanted to confront Xiao Tianjian, basically had no chance of winning.
Li Zicheng's only chance to seize the world was to take advantage of the gap between Xiao Tianjian and his troops on the Northern Expedition, and he was able to attack Henan and Huguang in a short period of time, copying Xiao Tianjian's back road, but what Song Xiance didn't expect was that the ferocity of the Dazhong Army exceeded his expectations.
In the two battles of Tongguan and Yunyang, the Dashun army was defeated and lost by the Dazhong army with very few troops, not only did it succeed in attacking Henan and Huguang, but even the Hanzhong area was also attacked by the Dazhong army's retaliatory attack, and even their foundation was turned upside down by the Dazhong army.
Although it seems that Li Zicheng has won western Shaanxi and other places in only half a year, and has gained a lot of territory, Song Xiance knows very well that these places, whether it is human or financial resources or even material resources, are simply not enough to support Li Zicheng's Dashun regime and the confrontation between Dazhong and North Korea.
And he also saw that Li Zicheng did not have the same control ability as Xiao Tianjian for those generals under him, although he could not say that they were all mediocre, but they were basically brutal and unkind, in order to expand their strength, they not only did not rest and recuperate the people's livelihood in the newly occupied land, on the contrary, they had to add a more word than the Ming Dynasty's rampant conquest, and the result of their continuous expansion of troops was the need for more food and material supplies, and the people of Shaanxi had already suffered unspeakably after so many years of natural and man-made disasters. Although the limited rich households still have some savings, but where the Dashun army passed, the rich households in Shaanxi were almost swept away and killed cleanly, and the rich households alone could no longer meet their needs, so they turned to the ordinary people, the young and strong were coerced into the army, the old and weak were abandoned in the wilderness, and the military discipline was corrupted to the extreme.
For this reason, Song Xiance also reminded Li Zicheng many times that it was not a way to expand the army all the time, and asked Li Zicheng to adopt a policy of recuperating and recuperating the people's livelihood in the controlled area and strictly control military discipline, otherwise he would definitely make people angry and resentful, and eventually lose the support of the people.
But in this matter, Li Zicheng did not listen to Song Xian's advice, although Li Zicheng also issued an order to require his generals to strictly enforce military discipline and not harm the people, but this is just a dead letter.
Li Zicheng has always wanted to grow stronger as soon as possible, to gain the ability to confront the Great China and North Korea, for the stop of the expansion of the army, Li Zicheng did not adopt Song Xiance's suggestion, but insisted on going his own way, and continued to expand the army, so that what to support the people's livelihood has become empty talk, their actions have almost completely destroyed agriculture and commerce in Shaanxi, making the already dilapidated Shaanxi even more desolate, and the people's hearts at this time, are no longer as they were at the beginning, to the Dashun army. Even in order to protect themselves, the people in some places united with the townships and organized armed groups and began to confront the Dashun army, which also fundamentally and completely shook the rule of Li Zicheng's Dashun regime in Shaanxi.
Now when he heard that Xiao Tianjian led the troops, first defeated the Jiannu army in Tongzhou and Shanhaiguan, and then easily took down the Beijing City of the Ming Dynasty, Song Xiance immediately realized that Li Zicheng was finished!
When Li Zicheng sent someone to summon him, Song Xiance came to Li Zicheng's "palace" to meet Li Zicheng, and after listening to Li Zicheng's question, Song Xiance immediately saw that Li Zicheng had retreated, and he no longer fantasized about competing with Xiao Tianjian for the world.
At this point, Song Xiance had no good way to assist Li Zicheng to regain his strength, so Song Xiance thought twice and made a suggestion to Li Zicheng.
After Li Zicheng heard this, he was furious at first, and almost asked people to push Song Xiance out and cut off Song Xiance's head, but under Song Xiance's persuasion, Li Zicheng also had to admit that Song Xiance's suggestion at the moment may be his only way out.
So at the end of July, Li Zicheng once again sent Tian Jianxiu and ordered him to rush to Beijing to meet Xiao Tianjian.
(For the sake of the new book, I have had severe insomnia for the past two days, and my whole brain is messing around!) I always want to sort out my head, but the more I rationalize, the more chaotic it becomes! That's it! It's better to write the old book first, and two more today! This chapter is too few words to explain to the brethren! )
