Chapter Seventy-Three
Zhang Biwu clapped his hands and asked everyone to calm down, no, people obediently calmed down to hear what the lord had to say.
Zhang Biwu coughed and said: "Everyone, I know what you think, if you really want to have a girl lining up to beg you to be a wife and a concubine, or a one-night husband and wife relationship, then the premise is that our country must be strong!" But what is the situation of our Ming Dynasty now? The Manchu Tartars invaded, and the people were slaughtered, facing a life-and-death crisis. In troubled times, force is the last word! We must be strong and have a strong army to escort the country's strength and prosperity! And this mighty army is you! One or two of you will hold up my tomorrow! Let me be more brilliant! ”
Zhang Biwu pointed at Wuxun and said: "As for what Wuxun said, then there is a possibility of success!" ”
"Whew!" "Good!" Bursts of cheers! Everyone is boiling! You can say that Zhang Biwu still thinks about women when he is a soldier, and his wealth is like other men, and he doesn't have the spirit of selfless dedication of a soldier at all, but even if people have seven emotions and six desires, not everyone can become Yanagi Hui.
In addition to defending the country and defending the country, the war also wants to gain wealth and change its destiny! Like Xiang Yu, if he is not rewarded, what will happen to him at the end? was originally his subordinate Chen Ping, Han Xin, etc., all of whom were thrown into Liu Bang, who had clear rewards and punishments, and finally the heroic Chu Overlord ended up killing himself in Wujiang!
As long as there is a war, there is an ugly side, even if you lead a righteous army, you can't raise fish when the water is clear, and you can't guarantee that everyone is a righteous man. There are not many Yanagishita Megumi.
Often human desire will drive every soldier to fight super strong. Become an invincible iron army! Although these conflict with the benevolence and morality flaunted by a righteous man and a gentleman. But it can't be helped, that's the truth. The benevolence and righteousness of Song Xiang's formula against the enemy, it is stupid to lead troops to fight!
Just when Zhang Biwu saw that the morale of the whole army was strong, he was thinking, is it possible to attack Shangzhou City in one fell swoop, but Shangzhou is already ready to take precautions, do you want to capture it? It's not an easy task!
It's just that it's still in favor of Zhang Biwu's situation, that is, Azig is actually going to be transferred to Shanxi. He Luohui, the original governor of Shaanxi Province, is also going back to Beijing to resume his life, and he is replaced by Meng Qiaofang, the governor of Shaanxi who has been sitting in Qin with He Luohui for a long time, he was the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, and surrendered to Huang Taiji in the third year of Chongzhen.
He accompanied Duoduo to the west, and also led his Han army to defeat Li Zicheng in the Eight Banners, and then sat in Shaanxi with He Luohui. His replacement is reasonable.
Zhang Biwu couldn't figure it out, obviously attacking the side of Shangzhou by himself, the situation of the Qing army was very critical! Shaanxi is so urgent, why do you want to transfer Azig and He Luo to leave? Dolgon shouldn't have made such a mistake! What the hell was he thinking?
At this moment, a person quickly came to Zhang Biwu's side. whispered in Zhang Biwu's ear.
Zhang Biwu's face changed, and he immediately became positive. frowned, I really didn't expect it! At a time when we should be fighting the same enemy, such a variable has appeared!
Zhang Biwu greeted the soldiers with a smile, and he didn't want such news to be passed on to the soldiers who were in high morale. As for Han Runchang and the others, they can see that something important must have happened.
Zhang Biwu gathered everyone, and he spoke: "Everyone, according to reliable information, Li Zicheng's men and horses are concentrated on our border!" And there are a lot of rumors in our place that Li Zicheng will send troops to attack us! Li Zicheng also made a plan, like Lu Bu attacking Xuzhou, occupying my territory, and then giving me a corner of land, placing me, and letting me work for him to attack the Manchus! After all, I have a great enmity with the Manchus, and I will never surrender to the Manchus, there is only one way to surrender to him! That's why he dared to gather men to conquer my territory! ”
"What!" As soon as Zhang Biwu's words came out, everyone was shocked, and they were all talking about it! You look at me, I look at yours, talking. They are more full of indignation!
Like Xiong Zongheng, he said: "What is this Li Zicheng!" If we hadn't fought bloodily, how could he have come back to life! If it weren't for us, he would have been destroyed by the Manchus by now! How can he be so free! It's really hateful! Lord, give the order, let me lead the troops to fight this son of a bitch! ”
Wu Xun also said: "Yes! We young soldiers are willing to be forwards! Let the thieves know that the way is great! ”
Huang Qi said: "I think we have to beat Li Zicheng, if we don't beat him up, then he thinks we can be bullied, and he will bully us every time in the future!" It's just that we have to wait for him to fight before we fight him back! But he's really hateful! Now that there are anti-Qing waves in all parts of Jiangnan, he is still doing such a thing, which is really stupid! In this way, he will be greatly disappointed! Stupid! ”
Zhang Biwu didn't say anything, he knew that what Huang Qi said was reasonable, and he was also sad about Li Zicheng, how could he be so confused? Is it just that he is anxious to restore the country and strengthen his strength?
Zhang Biwu saw that Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything, and he knew that Lu Xiangsheng would definitely have some good ideas, so he asked Lu Xiangsheng: "Ninth Elder, what do you think we should do in the current situation?" ”
Lu Xiangsheng replied: "Wu Weihou, I think that now that the wave of anti-Qing in various places is in the ascendant, we must not do what hurts our relatives and makes our enemies happy!" I suggest that we immediately return to the area around Nanzhao County and use Chen Bing's formation to signal that we know about Li Zicheng's attempt and prevent him from succeeding! And sent someone to explain to Li Zicheng that the current war is no longer a war between the Ming Dynasty and the peasant army, but a war between our Han and Hu people! No matter who we Han people are, we must unite to fight against the Manchus! ”
Zhang Biwu nodded one after another, because what Lu Xiangsheng said was exactly what he thought in his heart.
Lu Xiangsheng continued: "There is another point, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have a bad relationship, we have to show Li Zicheng that we will never help Zhang Xianzhong and be unfavorable to him Li Zicheng." And it has to be explained that when Wuwei Hou accompanied Yang Sichang to pursue Zhang Xianzhong, how big was the Liangzi who married Zhang Xianzhong! And Zhang Xianzhong at the end of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, handed over to the emperor the accusations fabricated by Yang Sichang about Wuweihou, which caused Wuweihou to be almost killed, so Wuweihou hated Zhang Xianzhong very much! ”
Zhang Biwu was nodding again, he smiled, these are all on the heart! Or Lu Xiangsheng is insightful!
Lu Xiangsheng said something that many people couldn't accept: "We handed over Xinyang and Gwangju to Li Zicheng to show our sincerity!" ”
"What!" As soon as I said this, many people jumped out, and they couldn't accept it! You must know that when Xinyang and Gwangju were first born, they only defended it after nine deaths, but now they have given up these territories to Li Zicheng! Why? If it weren't for them, Li Zicheng would have died a long time ago, but now the fruits of victory have been picked by him! How unreasonable!
Zhang Biwu looked at the crowd very excitedly, they all surrounded Lu Xiangsheng and had to ask for reason.
Someone also said: "Elder Lu Jiu, you should know how difficult the defensive battle between Xinyang and Gwangju was at the beginning!" It took all of us to fight off Azig in our lives! Besides, the lord is risking the danger of Lingbao and Shaanzhou being lost and rushing to help, and we will perish if we are not careful! With Xinyang and other places, you can enter Suizhou or enter Nanzhili Yingtianfu, and the strategic position is very important! But why should I give up! I'm not convinced! ”
Xiong Zongheng looked at Zhao Dayong and asked, "Brother Zhao, do you think you can be convinced?" ”
Zhao Dayong was embarrassed: "This ......" After all, Zhao Dayong used to be a subordinate of Li Zicheng's general Yuan Zongdi, and was later sent by Li Zicheng to be officially under Zhang Biwu's account, he still has some feelings for Li Zicheng, although he is very unhappy with what Li Zicheng did, and he has been completely disappointed in Li Zicheng in his heart, and he also believes that Zhang Biwu is the real lord like his younger brother Zhao Dawei, even so, he still can't say bad things about Li Zicheng.
Wu Xun was straightforward: "Is it difficult, do you still care about Li Zicheng, a bastard?" Zhao Dayong was even more embarrassed.
Seeing this, Zhang Biwu sighed, he knew that internal unity was very important, and everyone could not quarrel.
Lu Xiangsheng's words really hit the nail on the head: "Although our land is lost, the hearts of the people are here." Those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times have won the world! Li Zicheng was at a critical juncture for the survival of the Han people, but he took care of himself, don't look at him getting the land, he actually lost the hearts of the people, and even lost his military spirit! We have repeatedly forbearance for the overall situation, and the benevolent name of Wuweihou will be more obvious, and more people will help each other to join Wuweihou! More talents will also go to Wuwei's account! ”
Lu Xiangsheng's sentence is very correct, because in the future, people like Lin Yangsheng, Niu Youyong and others abandoned Li Zicheng and threw themselves into Zhang Biwu's account, which is a later story.
Han Runchang nodded when he heard this, he couldn't help but admire Lu Xiangsheng very much, with Lu Xiangsheng's assistance, Zhang Biwu's talent is getting stronger and stronger, and he will not fall in the predicament.
When Zhang Biwu heard this, he was overjoyed, and he said, "Okay! Needless to say, everyone! I decided to adopt Lu Jiulao's opinion! ”
As soon as Zhang Biwu's words fell, someone came to report that Yuan Zongdi had come to ask for a meeting. Xiong Zongheng said, "Hmph! I must be speaking for Li Zicheng's blind thief! We can't listen to him! ”
Zhang Biwu glared at Xiong Zongheng and warned sharply: "Wait a minute, don't ignore General Yuan!" ”
Xiong Zongheng couldn't help but stick out his tongue, he had to endure the anger in his heart, and at the same time Wu Xun was shaking his head. These two young generals are just too young to understand that politics can sometimes be more effective than fighting. (To be continued......)
