This time, Helichi's Niu Lu was at the front of the killing, so most people didn't escape. Helicchi's six people also only returned to Liaodong with the white pig. Although Niu Lu really gave Fu Jia's three coatings and a large amount of seizures, Fu Jia's was still angry with the white pig and did not agree to the white pig's flag.

So this time the white pig can be said to have found nothing. As a coat, he was certainly not qualified to distribute the seizure, and now that he had broken off his thought of raising the flag, the white pig only felt that the beauty of Haode would burst like a soap bubble in the future.

"Hakuro! Hakuro! Save the slaves! A cry woke the white pig from his daze, and he saw a woman of seventeen or eighteen being dragged away by a village flagman.

"Xiao Cui!" The white pig hurriedly ran over.

Xiaocui was assigned to the white pig by Niu Lu Ezhen and Helichi after the Qing army captured Jinan City. Of course, the white pig also had a husband and wife with Xiao Cui, and the two of them have become a couple to the outside world, so when they saw the flag man in the village dragging Xiao Cui away, the white pig was of course very anxious.

"Master Hu! Where did the slave Xiaocui offend you, and the slave made amends to you. Please, let Emerald go! The white pig grabbed the flagman.

"Smack!" The flag man raised his hand and gave the white pig a slap, "Who said this Han girl is yours?" Your grandmother has already sold her to her grandfather! Tonight, the master is going to taste the taste of Han women! ”

"No, it won't! No, it won't! The old man of Ezhen and the master of the slave family both said that they would give Xiaocui to the slave. Hu Ye must have made a mistake! Do you want to ask grandma again? Although Bai Pig has felt that something is wrong, he still has a glimmer of hope now.

Suddenly, the white pig felt a pain in the back of his head. As soon as he turned around, he saw that Fujia was smashing his head with a cigarette stick, and while smashing it, he scolded: "Grandma is just going to sell her, are you sad, slave?" It's to keep you from being together. ”

"No! Grandmother! You can't sell Tsuime! The white pig pounced in front of the Fujia clan. Crying. But he moved quite violently, causing Fu Jia to take a few steps back in fright, and almost sat on the ground.

"You slave is going to die!" Fu Jia felt embarrassed, and immediately became angry, she opened her teeth and claws and struck at the white pig, while beating, she also shouted, "You slave still dare to rebel, everyone!" Let's beat this minion to death! ”

When the village bannermen heard the commotion, they all gathered around, and their Fujia clan instigated them to punch and kick the white pig. The white pig with bruises can only lie on the ground with its head in its arms. Before he lost consciousness. He heard Xiao Cui's constant screams......

In August of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Shangluo Mountain.

"The brothers have been with me so far, but now I am hiding in Tibet every day, without food and clothing. I, Lao Li, am sorry brothers! Li Zicheng cried bitterly in Liu Zongmin's arms.

Just now, Li Zicheng felt cornered. All of a sudden, his emotions were out of control, and he wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff. Fortunately, Liu Zongmin and they were in a hurry. rescued Li Zicheng.

After the encircled and suppressed officials and troops forced into Shangluo Mountain, there were fewer and fewer people around Li Zicheng, and now there are only about 50 people who follow him, most of them are family members, and only 18 people such as Liu Zongmin and He Shaoqi can fight. So Li Zicheng felt that the future was bleak, and he couldn't think about it for a while, so he had the idea of committing suicide.

"King Chuang! How many winds and waves we have come over. Just get past it. We're definitely going to make a comeback. How many heroes in the world are waiting for you to ascend to the heights! You have to hold on and stop doing something stupid like this. Liu Zongmin persuaded repeatedly.

"But how do you get there?" Li Zicheng still has no confidence.

"Find a way to go out of the mountain and borrow some horses and weapons from the Eight Great Kings, I heard that he is doing well in Valley City now. Let's get through this too! He said with an idea.

"But let's take those old and weak with us. How do you get there? can't break through the blockade of official dogs. Tian Jianxiu said. But his words made Liu Zongmin and the others quiet, and they all looked at their families hiding in the distance.

The atmosphere became frozen all at once.

After being silent for a while, Liu Zongmin first let go of Li Zicheng's arm and turned around and walked to his family. Seeing Liu Zongmin coming, his most favored woman hugged Liu Zongmin's son and smiled at Liu Zongmin, and Liu Zongmin's son also waved to his father in the arms of his mother.

Liu Zongmin took a deep breath, grabbed his son, and threw his son to the ground headfirst in the screams of his own woman, and immediately threw his son to death. Then he drew his knife and slashed off his woman's head .......

And He Shaoqi and Tian Jianxiu also drew their knives one after another and walked to their families.......

In November of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Gucheng.

The current Zhang Xianzhong is like a fish in water in Gucheng. Because Zhang Xianzhong has a subordinate nicknamed "Xue Blind", and the relationship between him and the first assistant Xue Guoguan is an uncle and nephew, therefore, Zhang Xianzhong sent a big gift to Xue Guoguan through Xue Blind, and Xue Guoguan received a big gift, so he spoke for Zhang Xianzhong in the court, saying that Zhang Xianzhong's coming was sincere, and there was nothing to doubt. So now Zhang Xianzhong is very confident, he said: There is Wencan Lord outside, and the national view Lord is inside, and the matter of caress can be foolproof.

Moreover, Zhang Xianzhong has always pursued the policy of four noes: not obeying the law, not letting go of troops, not being transferred, and not entering the government, the core of these four no's is that the leadership of the army is always in his own hands.

With Zhang Xianzhong's large amount of bribes to Ming Dynasty officials, the military attaches who threatened him were transferred away by the imperial court one after another, and some military attaches were even bribed by him and became under Zhang Xianzhong's command.

Moreover, Xiong Wencan also gave Zhang Xianzhong a "blood transfusion" and gave him 20,000 people for six months. Compared with those who have been short of salaries, Wu Shigong's Runing Army and Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army on the front line of encirclement and suppression, it can be seen how absurd Xiong Wencan's behavior is.

Therefore, under the condition of sufficient food and salary, Zhang Xianzhong took advantage of the famine in Hubei to vigorously absorb hungry people to join the army. His population soon grew to 100,000.

And because of the entry of the Qing army, the imperial court urgently dispatched Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to lead the troops to Qinwang, and went east out of Tongguan and passed through Henan. Luo Rucai and other troops were resting in the inner countryside and Xichuan mountains due to the damage to their vitality, and when they saw the official army leaving Tongguan in the east, they mistakenly thought that they were coming to carry out a new large-scale crusade, so they led their troops to the south, moved to Huguang, crossed the Han River from the shallow turbulent water of Yunyang, rushed to Fang County through Junzhou, and set up camp in Xiguan outside the city.

They took advantage of the favorable opportunity of Premier Xiong Wencan's appeasement to send people to the Taihe Mountain military camp, the main peak of the Wudang Mountains, to ask the eunuch Li Weizheng to surrender, and expressed their willingness to negotiate a truce with the official army and hope to sign a covenant of "no aggression."

After that, Xiong Wencan even agreed to this ridiculous covenant. After being appeased, Luo Rucai's 9th Battalion implemented a truce with the Ming army, but it was not subject to the establishment of the Ming army, was not subject to its dispatch, did not disband the army, did not eat the military salary of the imperial court, and still maintained an independent position.

So Luo Rucai's nine-battalion peasant army trained and cultivated on the one hand. And the Ninth Battalion was stationed in conjunction with Zhang Xianzhong of Gucheng, singing and harmonizing, supporting the troops and wandering and watching.

And today, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Ru got the news that Li Zicheng secretly came to Gucheng with eighteen horsemen, so they took the leaders of the peasant army to set up a banquet to entertain Li Zicheng and his party.

After thirty years of drinking, Zhang Xianzhong pretended to be drunk, he put his arm on Li Zicheng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Li! Why don't you stay here with me for the time being, and wait for the right time. Why bother to run around! ”

Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng's expression was quite calm, and he smiled: "No! ”

The atmosphere of the banquet froze all at once. Luo Rucai saw that the big thing was not good, and hurriedly toasted again and again, so that the atmosphere eased.

But after the banquet, Li Zicheng and the others were immediately placed under house arrest by Zhang Xianzhong, looking like they were all killed. It was Luo Rucai who was righteous, he kept maneuvering between the two, and Li Zicheng's reputation as "King Chuang" was too big, Zhang Xianzhong didn't dare to take the liberty of killing, so when he arrived in Zuihou, Zhang Xianzhong gave Li Zicheng 500 horses and a batch of armor, and sent Li Zicheng away.

And Li Zicheng relied on these gifts, and slowly began to recover his strength.

"Mr. Lin! If the official heard correctly, you Yangzhou salt merchants are willing to take out 200,000 yuan, and you want to buy a promise from the official! Wu Shigong listened to the words of the head of the Lin family and felt quite surprised.

"Yes!" The head of the Lin family smiled.

At the end of March of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, when the Runing army came to Jining, Wu Shigong unexpectedly met the "Yangzhou Salt Merchants Delegation" headed by the head of the Lin family, Lu Jianchen and Guo Zeng'an, who were waiting here.

When Wu Shigong received them, the head of the Lin family immediately threw out a "big bomb": Yangzhou salt merchants were willing to donate 200,000 taels of silver to Wu Shigong, as long as Wu Shigong made a promise -- if the Runing army took possession of the salt fields and salt wells in Changlu, Sichuan, and Shaanxi in the future, the Yangzhou salt merchants would have the right of first refusal.

Although Wu Shigong was quite tempted by this large sum of silver, he still felt a little ridiculous, when did he become so important? It will cause a large bet from Yangzhou salt merchants.

In fact, Wu Shigong didn't know that although he didn't get a penny in the seizure of his victory, the shock caused by the whole world was particularly big, and even far exceeded Wu Shigong's own imagination.

"Aren't you afraid that this official can't do it?" Wu Shigong asked with a smile again.

"It's just a bet, just 200,000 taels, and our Yangzhou peers can still afford it." The head of the Lin family also told the truth.

"But aren't you afraid that this official will not believe it?" Wu Shigong asked again.

"Hahaha-!" The head of the Lin family immediately became daxiao, "Wu Dashuai's word 'letter' is famous all over the world. (To be continued......)
