Of course, these scattered heroes can be co-opted, but the clay pots, Yidougu and others who originally took refuge in Li Zicheng, have many subordinates, but Li Zicheng does not dare to act rashly against them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And now he has more and more subordinates, attacking the city, and he doesn't rely much on Yidougu and others. In just a few months, the people of Yidougu have already tended to be marginalized in the army. For example, now that military affairs are being discussed, the crockpot "Yidougu people" are not among Li Zicheng's invitations.

The city wall of Yongning has been razed "but inside and outside the city, full of people coming and going, along the four suburbs of the city, all kinds of shacks and tents, seem to spread to the sky, ",......" word banner, dense forests.

Longtou Mountain is not far from the county seat, and there is a Yumen River near here. According to legend, it was the mountain gate that was split when Dayu controlled the water, so that the flood flowed into the Luo River.

The local people are grateful to Dayu, so the river is named Yumen River, and there are temples.

At present, this temple has gone through many years, and there are many ancient and famous trees in the courtyard and in front of the house and behind the house, each of which is lush and full of vitality. This temple and its vicinity are the location of Li Zicheng's standard camp, and they come and go, all of which are elite old cavalry.

A large flag several feet high stands in front of the temple gate, the flag is snow-white, but it is made of horsehair. but the spear was made of silver.

The flag rolled and tumbled in the cold wind, revealing a large "......" character, but it was embroidered with black satin.

The temple is located on the top of the mountain, under the ridge is the Yumen River, by the mountains and rivers, the surrounding scenery, all in the bottom of the eye.

Li Zicheng's line is located here, although there is the mansion of King Wan'an in Yongning City, but Li Zicheng does not live there, but it is Niu Jinxing's advice, imitating the Han Gaozu to Xianyang not to leave the Qin Palace to rest.

The temple is wide, and there are several pots of charcoal fire burning in the lobby, and around the charcoal fire, this hall is full of people "talking about something." The first middle-aged man was dressed in a blue arrow suit, a white felt hat with red tassels, a red cloak, and a sword hanging from his waist.

The middle-aged man is quite shabby in both his armor and cloak, and the red tassels on his felt hat are also quite scattered, he sits on the main seat, not moving for a long time, his burly figure is straight in place, and his eyes flash from time to time.

The middle-aged man is in his thirties, with high cheekbones, high nose and deep eyes, and a dense beard. Yes, this person is Li Zicheng, the leader of the Chuang army, who was known as King Chuang at the time. It is said that he is a descendant of the party, and in history, after Li Zicheng was founded and called the emperor, he was also the ancestor of the party.

Strictly speaking, Li Zicheng and Li Jiqian can't fight with eight poles, and such a move only comes out of the mentality of "recognizing an ancestor...... and "my ancestor is also broad......".

However, Li Zicheng's behavior only shows one problem, he does not think that he is Han.

Although Han civilization is a concept of culture and identity, with this identity, even the blonde and blue-eyed red hair can also be considered to be a Han Chinese.

Without this identity, even a pure-blooded Han Chinese can also consider him to be Yiqiu. It doesn't matter what you look like, the actual sense of identity will speak for itself.

Under Li Zicheng, there are large and small generals in the army, including Liu Zongmin, Liu Fangliang, Li Guo, Li Shuangxi, Gao Yigong, Yuan Zongdi, Zhang Bi, Hao Shaoqi, and Tian Jianxiu.

Beside Li Zicheng, there were several literati sitting on the left and right, one of whom was as short as a child, with a narrow face, and a very ugly appearance, and looked like a ghost at first glance.

He paced with a cane beside him. A Taoist robe was worn on his body, and at this time, the man sat upright and recuperated, his eyes seemed to be closed. This person is Song Xiance, a warlock who took refuge in Li Zicheng not long ago, and because of his short stature, he was called "Song Child...... in the army. Although he looks weird, but a strange-looking person, as long as he has the ability, others will beautify him as "born with different appearances".

There are many people who have "different ......" in history, and Song Xiance is deeply valued by Li Zicheng, so no one in the army dares to underestimate him. Under him sat a literati in his forties, with a long beard and a clear face, wearing a square scarf, wearing a green robe in the style of a Ming Dynasty, and stepping on foundation felt boots.

From time to time, he stroked his long beard, and looked hungry with a bead of hunger" from time to time to look at everyone with a smile.

This person is also the Lu family's Niu Jinxing, who took refuge in Li Zicheng not long ago, and Li Zicheng is very happy to be able to get a Ming lifter. not only attaches great importance to Niu Venus, but also intends to marry his daughter to him.

Opposite Niu Venus, there was also a man dressed as a literati, in his twenties, with a face like a crown of jade, his hair neatly tied behind his head with a hairband, and he was also dressed in a green robe and scarf of the Ming Dynasty. He sat with a smile, with a temperament as warm as jade, which seemed to make people feel like a spring breeze at first sight. ,

This person is Li Yan, and his father is the late Shangshu Li Jingbai, Qixian County, who has sent rice and thousands of stones to help the hungry, and the folk call him "Li Gong......".

He and his brother Li stumbled and returned to Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng was like a treasure, and he immediately entrusted it to be reused. Li Yan also lived up to expectations, helped Li Zicheng to strictly enforce military discipline, compiled a series of songs, and put forward slogans such as "Juntian is free from ......", so that the army developed rapidly and expanded. At this time, Li Yan sat with a smile, and there was a clear spring among the many vulgar rogues.

He joined the Chuang army because he was disappointed in the Ming court, hoping to meet the Ming lord and realize the concept that if he is poor, he will be good to himself, and if he is good, he will help the world and restore the way of the ancestors. In fact, Li Yan is also a humble gentleman, kind to people, and compatible with all the generals of the Chuang army. this

At that time, he was mainly responsible for the relief of the hungry, and he was quite famous among the poor people who received the relief.

However, for Li Yan, Li Zicheng had other plans to reuse, because he saw that Li Yan was a person who could use literature and martial arts. Indeed, "in history, Li Yan was awarded the deputy general of the middle battalion, Yue Hou, second only to Liu Zongmin. In the army, he respected his military merits, and his military talent was undeniable, and he arbitrarily regarded him as a weak scholar.

The generals of the intrusive army who gathered together sat down, and their conversations were full of Qindi accents, and when they talked about military affairs, they mainly discussed among the generals. As far as Li Zicheng is concerned, although he attaches great importance to Niu Jinxing and others, he does not care about their tactics of war like talking about soldiers on paper, and when it comes to fighting, "His instinctive experience from many years of bloody battles is much stronger than these rhetorical literati." He used Niu Jinxing, mainly out of the management of logistics, the formulation of rules and regulations, the collection of people's hearts, recruitment and other aspects of consideration.

The same is true for Song Xiance, a charlataner who is a fortune-teller and fortune-teller, and after joining the camp, he has not mentioned any outstanding insight in military affairs.

His military talent is not even as high as his own command, Liu Fangliang, Zhang Ding, Tian Jianxiu, and Yuan Zongdi's generals. However, this pacing man who is less than three feet tall is proficient in the Six Non Qi Gate Escape Method, as well as the ability to figure out mathematics, especially in feudal superstition. As soon as they met, they counted it: "Eighteen children, be the main artifact......" Li Zicheng was overjoyed at that time, which means that the Li family is prosperous, and he has the appearance of an emperor.

It seems that for thousands of years in China, when a generation of male lords was born, there would always be a proverb like a friend, which was the precursor of hegemony, and the six except for Ming Taizu, who firmly believed that he was born as a beggar, the rest of the people were convinced, and Li Zicheng was of course so. After the proverb came out, Li Zicheng even believed that he was favored by God and given by God, and he would be invincible in the future. Facts have also proved that this is the case: "Every time Song Xiance divined and predicted the victory or defeat, his army always attacked the city and was invincible."

As a result, Song Xiance became Li Zicheng's very dependent military advisor, always taking him by his side to ask for advice, and believing him like a god. And the Li Yan brothers thought that they were new to the army, and it was not good to dictate the affairs of the army, and they were mainly silent, so these literati did not play a big role in the military at this time.

At this time, it was Yuan Zongdi, the general who spoke, because he was mainly responsible for the attack on Luoyang. "Luoyang City is not easy to fight, the city is nine miles around, the wall is four feet high, and all of them are covered with big green bricks. Each city gate has an urn city, and there is a tower on the city gate. In the whole city, there are thirty-nine enemy platforms, and there are countless horses. There is also a moat outside the city, "five zhang deep, three zhang wide", the introduction of the water of the Gorilla River, "it is difficult to ...... if you want to collapse", the officers and soldiers in the city have begun to defend, from the Luoshui River beach to transport a lot of large bluestones to pile up in the city, as a rolling wood stone for backup. There were also more people patrolling the city of Luoyang, and the government also issued a notice that all men and women over the age of fifteen and under the age of fifty in the city should protect the city.

The chiefs and chiefs of each square in the city are all recruited, and they are divided into pieces, and those city walls are all divided into defense areas with white ash...... "There are many large and small artillery pieces in the city, there are more than 100 guns, according to our careful spying, there are eight Shenwei invincible general cannons in the city, and each city gate has two guns. There are also several Shenwei generals Hongyitong, all of whom are cannon on ten catties........." A trace of haze flashed in Liu Fangliang's eyes, and he could also feel that many people in the field were focused on him. Yuan Zongdi continued: "The city is so strong, and the protection of the officers and soldiers is also strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to attack the city. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, we waited for the righteous army to fight Luoyang with King Gaochuang, more than 100,000 people surrounded it for several days, and finally failed to defeat the ........." The hall was silent for a while, in November of the eighth year of Chongzhen, most of you here followed Gao Yingxiang to fight Luoyang Jiancheng, and finally failed to attack the city. Coupled with the arrival of official and military reinforcements, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng saw that it was difficult to win, so he led the army to flee. The following year, the enemy, Gao Yingxiang, was arrested in Shaanxi and executed by Ling Chi. This lesson is unforgettable, and it is better not to repeat it this time. Yuan Zongdi said again: "It is said that the officers and soldiers of Luoyang are guarding the city, and the dog official Wang Yinchang is guarding the Ruiguang Gate in the west: Luoping Wang Shaosheng is guarding the Gongchen Gate in the north, the guerrilla Liu Jianyi is guarding the Changchun Gate in the east, and the guerrilla Luo Tai is guarding the Dongfeng Gate in the south. There are reinforcements coming one after another, holding farewell to Chen Yongfu, the deputy general of Kaifeng City Guard, and the soldiers and horses of the guest general Wang Dou have arrived in Luoyang ......", the hall is even quieter, for a long time, Li Zicheng said to Liu Fangliang: "Mingyuan, you tell the brothers well, the matter of Wang Dou's military horses ......"
