Be the emperor from the postman

Among the group of rebel leaders in Shaanxi, Ma Shouying was the oldest, and his eyes saw more people.

Whether Wang Jiayin, Zijinliang, Gao Yingxiang and others are in the lead, they don't seem to be long-lived people.

He had long felt that He Jinchao, that little postman, was not like an ordinary person.

First of all, the pattern is large.

Then there is the ability to train people.

The most important thing is that he dared to fight tough battles with the Ming Dynasty officials.

The key is not to keep secrets, and to take care of the leaders of all parties.

Old Huihui was actually quite fierce in battle, when Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang was arrested, Zuo Liangyu pursued the rest of the bandits.

Arousing Lao Huihui's viciousness, he sent people to lure Zuo Liangyu into an ambush circle, and organized bandits to surround the Ming army.

Zuo Liangyu was so surrounded that he almost committed suicide, and he took advantage of the darkness to break out of the siege.

He changed Shucheng to Desheng Prefecture, and took some measures to protect production and normal life in order to enhance the reputation of the Eight Great Kings in this land.

Don't dare to fight again!

In this way, you can get more benefits in the future and ensure your own prosperity and wealth.

Zhang Xianzhong's rebel army conquered Luzhou and killed Cai Ruheng, a Ming soldier.

For example, if we recruit farmers to return to their hometowns to harvest wheat, we will split half of the gentry's grain, which wins the support of the local residents.

Zhang Xianzhong picked up his wine glass and sighed, and then talked about defecting to Li Zicheng after the defeat.

Huang Degong was still full of confidence, only dozens of Zhang Xianzhong fled after being beaten, even if he gathered soldiers and horses, how much fighting power could he have?

"Hahaha." Zhang Xianzhong laughed out loud, "If you were this kind of person, bro, I wouldn't come to join you."

The next day, Ge Liyan and He Yilong's tribe also conquered Wuwei State, and the two sides cooperated with each other.For a time, the officers and soldiers were invincible.

But He Yilong and others felt that they didn't want to go back to the mountain again, it was really too bitter.

The two parties are considered to have reached an alliance.

News came that Zhang Xianzhong captured Tongcheng, and news came that Liao Yingdeng was kidnapped from the battalion to the city to lure him to surrender.

Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo joined forces to attack them at Baojialing, but Zhang Xianzhong failed and fled.

Huang Degong patted his chest, saying what the hell Zhang Xianzhong, who was beaten by the Marquis of Jingliao in Henan and fled, wants to turn the world upside down here, he is really beyond his control.

Now the leaders of the Fifth Gezuo Battalion have disagreements.

At least compared to He Jinzhao and Li Zicheng, Lao Huihui can still make Zhang Xianzhong feel at ease.

A few days ago, he was chasing Zhang Xianzhong to kill all directions, and within a few days he was directly defeated. Could it be that the victory report of the last time was false?

He Yilong and others have been suffocating on the mountain for the past few years, and they feel that even Li Zicheng can roll up 50 horses with a dozen people, and it is time for them to expand their power.

After careful consideration, he decided to lead his troops westward to the north of Huguang, and sent military adviser Pan Duao to sneak into Wuchang as an internal response.

Huang Degong and others won first, and ignored Zhang Xianzhong and others. They were lured into the enemy and set up an ambush, causing the officers and troops to flee.

Gao Guangdou, the governor of Fengyang and the right servant of the Ministry of War, and the deputy capital censor of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate hurriedly summoned his confidant generals.

Wasn't King Li Jin killed by him back then!
He didn't even give King Gao Chuang any face, and he killed someone if he said he would.

With He Jinzhao's eloquence, what status can they have in the army in the future?

For the Ming army generals still have many desperate ways of fighting, Zhang Xianzhong would also feel guilty in his heart.

Zhang Xianzhong did not want to follow in the footsteps of Ge and Zuo, and planned to create another situation.

He thanked Lao Huihui and others.

Otherwise, he would not have contacted everyone, and even reached a settlement with Ming Ting for a period of time, all in order to survive, so that his son and others would not be killed.

Zhang Xianzhong quickly organized tens of thousands of people with the old thieves as the backbone.

He Yilong wanted to defect to Li Zicheng, because the hammer bandits had many rules, and they were used to being loose when they were kings outside the mountain, so they might not be accepted by He Jinzhao.

"Don't worry, I will never annex your troops."

"The men of Wu Guojun, Marquis of Jingliao, are really capable. Li Zicheng is so rampant, he will definitely be hit. I want to take advantage of this opportunity to temporarily settle down in Shucheng and other places and recruit troops."

When Wu Guojun goes to Henan, we will still be targeted.

However, there were some disputes within the Fifth Gezuo Battalion regarding the discussion between Li Zicheng and He Jinzhao.

Unexpectedly, he ran around the capital and got involved with the Fifth Gezuo Battalion.

The old Huihui shook his head while smoking a cigarette, who can judge what will happen in the future?

Because good news came from Henan and Liaodong, but there was another war in the capital.

Ma Shouying breathed out smoke rings and invited Zhang Xianzhong to dinner.

Now that He Jinzhao occupies the northwest, there has been no movement, so he must have not held his fart well.

These actions made the name of the Eight Great Kings a little louder in Anhui and other places, and more and more people joined his ranks to rebel.

No matter what, He Yilong and the others were unwilling to hang out with Zhang Xianzhong any longer.

Instead, he chose to cooperate with some gentry, win them over, and made some compromises for the expansion of his own strength.

It's great that everyone has a deal to discuss.

The leaders of the [-]th Battalion of Gezuo were all very surprised, because they were not clear about this matter, and they all lamented that Li Zicheng's fate was great.

Zhang Xianzhong was funded by Gezuo Fifth Battalion and led his troops to attack Shucheng. The guard Kong Tingxun surrendered and then conquered Shucheng.

Old Hui Hui Ma Shouying nodded, it was inevitable.

In his opinion, Laohui is old and has no ambitions, so he can't delay his brothers' "motivation"!

Lao Huihui thinks that if he continues to keep in touch now, whether it is Li Zicheng or He Jinzhao who want to seize the world, they will not be able to get around him in the future.

This kid could easily attract Marquis Jingliao.

Now Zhang Xianzhong came to seek cooperation, and wanted to temporarily attach himself to Lao Huihui's account.

Relying on the title of "Marquis of Jingliao", the newly appointed governor Ma Shiying directly disintegrated the alliance between Zhang Xianzhong and the Fifth Gezuo Battalion.

Then Zhang Xianzhong was extremely worried when he got the news that the officers and soldiers wanted Wu Guojun to help wipe them out, and that they were rectifying their troops and horses to prepare for a comeback.

"You and my brother really haven't seen each other for several years."

In the end, it was Zhang Xianzhong's turn to fall into trouble. How could Li Zicheng treat him like this without chilling people's hearts?

He also appointed Pu Zhongyu, a squire of the Ming Dynasty and former Minister of Taipusi, as Minister of Rites.

The Yuhu, Bing, and Gong ministries each had their officials given to the local gentry, but Zhang Xianzhong himself took over the official and criminal ministers, and he did not want to hand them over to others as nobles and criminals.

Even the military regulations in his army are stricter, but that is compared to other rogues.

Zhang Xianzhong was not discouraged by the defeat. Taking advantage of the lack of response from the officers and soldiers to Kelujiang County, the rebel army captured [-] double mast ships, built a large number of boats, recruited sailors, and trained sailors in Chaohu Lake.

This is the first time that Zhang Xianzhong started to set up official positions, and he granted six ministers when he came up.

Zhang Xianzhong pointed to his eyes and said, "He was shot blind in one eye in Kaifeng."

Zhang Xianzhong nodded, in fact, up to now, these leaders also want to save their own lives and let the generals under their hands rush to kill them.

"Whether it's him or He Jinzhao, the two of them are growing stronger now, and they definitely want to annex us and other forces."

Things really went as Huang Degong expected.

Although Lao Huihui said that he was the "leader" and listened to him most of the time, in this kind of matter, everyone still "discusses and agrees", and he cannot make the decision alone.

It's really unwise to join the team early when it's always useful.

He also joined the fifth battalion of Ge and Zuo in Wankou. There were 32 battalions of old sentries and 24 battalions of small sentries, and they claimed to cross the river and leave Wuhu to conquer Nanjing.

When the news came back to the court, Chongzhen was furious.

It's just that it has a bigger name, and a phoenix without hair is not as good as a chicken, and the fifth battalion of Gezuo is the most threatening.

However, after the fifth battalion was launched, he was unable to support him with one arm and could not deal with the official troops gathered in the southeast.

As far as the land of Henan has been drought for years, it is impossible to have so much food to feed so many soldiers, and weapons and armor are not enough.

After all, the reason why he was able to defeat Huang Degong was to deliberately defeat once, but that intentional defeat suffered a lot of losses, and he could only win the battle with the assistance of the fifth battalion of Gezuo.

Now Zhang Xianzhong is unlucky.

The most important thing is that dozens of confidantes escaped after being beaten by Wu Guojun. This incident was too stressful for him, and a sense of fear had already arisen in his heart.

In his heart, Lao Huihui felt that He Jinzhao had a better chance of winning. The group was full of mountains, so how could he instigate to overthrow Daming?
Even though Li Zicheng has behaved very well to the surrounding rebel allies, will they all be allowed to become hilltops in the future?

Liu Liangzuo felt that Zhang Xianzhong had nothing to deal with.

Sanhe Villagers slaughtered sheep and pigs to welcome Zhang Xianzhong, and he presented eight heads and 50 taels of silver as the price for buying the sheep and pigs.

I hope Wu Guojun, Marquis of Jingliao, can lend a helping hand, since we are so close anyway.

Not to mention being beaten to death several times by the court, this time he was shot in the eye and still survived, which shows that he has a certain amount of luck on his body.

Zhang Xianzhong took less than 3000 people to prepare to show his talents in Anhui and other places.

Zhang Xianzhong opened his mouth to dissuade him, how could Li Zicheng have 50 people?

Let's also go to Henan to kill the princes, sleep with their wives and concubines, and go happily.

After all, when Li Zicheng was in trouble, Li Zicheng asked himself to help him.

If they were not sure, He Jinzhao would have to deprive him of his military power.

According to their understanding, Zhang Xianzhong, who was the first to dig up Daming's ancestral grave, was really vulnerable to revenge from Daming.

After all, Daming is getting worse and worse, it depends on who can win the world, He Jinzhao or Li Zicheng.

If he violated the military regulations in the future, He Jinzhao would not show mercy, and would kill someone if he said he would.

Old Huihui picked up the pipe and pot, put it aside, and invited Zhang Xianzhong to drink: "What are your plans now?"

Ma Shouying, the old man, was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but just told the other four people not to look in a hurry.

As soon as the two took office, they summoned troops in a big way, hoping to kill Zhang Xianzhong, show their respective means, keep the accompanying capital, and serve His Majesty's wishes.

The idea of ​​returning to Ma Shouying in the old days was that it would be a big deal to go back to Dabie Mountain first, so that there was no need to go north to get involved in Li Zicheng's affairs.

Li Zicheng can have [-] armored soldiers in the sky, even if he has been attacking cities and conquering land during this period of time, spending money to build armor ordnance.

Ma Shiying and Huang Peixuan took over respectively.

Zheng Eryang, governor of Anluchi, warned the two generals: "Zhang Xianzhong is quite cunning in the use of troops, and Lao Huihui is not a good friend."

However, the rebel army led by Zhang Xianzhong was still in the stage of mobile operations, and the time they stayed in the local area was relatively short. The establishment of official positions did not have much practical significance, but this move was definitely not to amuse the retired old men of Ming Dynasty.

Originally, the fake Cao Cao Luo Rucai mixed with him, but was targeted by the officers and soldiers, and suffered heavy losses.

"In the past, they were huddled in the mountains and it was difficult to destroy them, but now they dare to come out, and with the Marquis of Jingliao by their side, how can we be afraid of them?"

In the end, Lao Huihui sponsored 1000 people for his dispatch, and the other four leaders also performed well.

In short, it was just a bit of hilarity.

"Then you have to be careful of Huang Degong." Lao Hui said while holding his wine glass:
"This man is nicknamed Huang Chuangzi. Every time he goes to the battlefield, he has to drink a few buckets of wine. He leads his subordinates to kill all directions. He doesn't care about life or death, regardless of his strength. He is a difficult dog officer."

Chongzhen was furious. He thought that Zhang Xianzhong would also be beaten to death.

The two led the troops to chase to Qianshan, captured Zhang Xianzhong's generals under Zhang Xianzhong's command, Ma Wu, the Chuangshi Wang, and Xingguo, the Sanyaozi Wang, and killed them.

But since following Li Zicheng, his strength has expanded a lot.

Only then did Lao Huihui calmly lead his people to the Dabie Mountains to settle down here.

He Yilong thought that if the government and army gathered a large number of people, they should go to Henan to gather Li Zicheng and others. He had 50 people, enough to sweep the world.

Therefore, in order to join Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, Ge and Zuo Wuying moved to Henan to avoid Wu Guojun.

It was rumored that San Yaozi was the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong, and he was Zhang Xianzhong's most brave general in the army. The morale of the officers and soldiers was extremely strong for a time.

The two waves of rebels joined together and fought against Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo's army in Jiashan, Lu'an. The army was defeated, and there was a "Great Earthquake in the South of the Yangtze River".

Compared to He Jinzhao's powerful and aggressive style, Li Zicheng seemed much more relaxed.

He was the one who was surrounded by heavy troops every time.

"It reassures you."

The emperor ordered Gao Douguang, governor of Fengyang, and Zheng Eryang, governor of Anluchi, to be dismissed and questioned, and sent to imperial prison.

What's more, even though Li Zicheng wanted to annex Zhang Xianzhong, he didn't want to let him go without asking.

Huang Degong was injured in the face by an arrow during the battle, but became more fierce. He fought with Zhang Xianzhong's army for more than ten days, and killed the most people.

"Li Zicheng led an army of hundreds of thousands and said he was going to attack Huguang, but he actually wanted to take Kaifeng for revenge."

As for the assignment of Wu Guojun to encircle and suppress, Ma Shiying firstly did not apply to the emperor, secondly did not ask the supervisor Yang Sichang for assistance, and thirdly did not inform Wu Guojun himself.

A few days ago, Gao Douguang sent someone to report the achievements of Huang Degong's generals to the court. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xianzhong not only did not disappear, but gained momentum, and hurriedly urged Huang Degong to continue his expedition.

Now Ma Shiying heard that most of the rebels are going to Henan, but only Zhang Xianzhong is still hiding between Yingshan County and Taihu County, which is a great threat to the accompanying capital Nanjing.

"Hushan, Mingfu." Ma Shiying looked at Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo in front of him and said:
"The last time you were defeated, I found someone to help you clear up the relationship, which saved you from punishment. Now that traitor Zhang Xianzhong dares to occupy the surrounding area of ​​Nanjing, what do you think should be done?"

"Governor, I'm going to pick off Zhang Xianzhong's head and bring it back to the Governor, to repay the Governor's great kindness."

Huang Degong hurriedly stated his position.

Liu Liangzuo clasped his fists and said, "Me too!"
