Anti Qing

Chapter 54

"I almost forgot, what did I call you here today?"

Li Zicheng smiled slightly and put his hand on Li Zijing's shoulder.

Li Zijing was quite puzzled, not knowing why.

"Going to Jingxiang here, there are bandits and bandits along the way for four to five hundred miles, and the landlords and villages are full of cattle hair, and the joint guarantee will fight against me in Dashun."

"These villages are nothing to worry about. Seeing my Dashun banner, they will not dare to disturb them. However, it also hinders the connection between Guanzhong and Jingxiang. The road is not smooth, and it is difficult to communicate information."

"I have decided to remove these villages as soon as possible, first to replenish supplies, and second, to maintain local law and order and protect the common people."

As he spoke, the killing intent in Li Zicheng's eyes became clear, and he turned to laugh loudly.

"Brother, I know that you have never been to the land of Jingxiang. When you get there, your eyes will be blackened. I need to find a guide for you."

"Call him in!"

The door opened at the sound, and two veterans of the Chinese army were standing outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation. A middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, a gray shirt, and a net scarf walked in.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Li Zicheng beckoned him to come over with a smile on his face.

"Qi Hou, what you want to see this time is not me, but my younger brother, come quickly."

Waiting?
Li Zijing was slightly taken aback, and looked him up and down.

This Qihou is the shortest one in the Shun army that Li Zijing has seen so far.

In fact, this person is not too fat, but because he is relatively short, only about 1.6 meters, he looks chubby.

While Li Zijing was looking at him, this man also looked over. Although his eyes were small, they were so bright that they could barely see a slit when he squinted.

"Unable to be an official, trusted by His Majesty, usurped as the servant of the official's mansion, appointed Qihou, in charge of the Wenyu Academy, surnamed Gu, named Junen, met the little king Chuang!"

Gu Junen took a few steps back, looked up and down, nodded, his slippery face was covered with greasy.

"Recently in Xi'an City, there are really many rumors about Little Chuang Wang, and now Little Chuang Wang has revealed his fame!"

"Everyone said that King Chuang of the Battle of Tongguan tried his best to overcome all opinions and used the hole city method to attack Duoduo's camp. He dug the ground for several miles, and he seemed to have three heads and six arms."

"At the time, I thought, if King Chuang has three heads and six arms, wouldn't the current Emperor Yongchang have six heads and twelve arms?"

"Now that I have finally met a real person, now I can go back and brag to those people, so as to shut their mouths."

After these words, Li Zijing immediately felt a little fond of Gu Junen, whom he had never met before.

Li Zijing didn't know much about Gu Junen in history, only that he was a counselor under Li Zicheng's early years.

Gu Junen's status is far inferior to that of Niu Jinxing, a scholar of Tianyou Temple, and he is not as favored as Song Xiance, a military strategist who is proficient in divination and divination.

The so-called Wenyuyuan actually means that when Li Zicheng entered the capital last year, he changed the name of Wenxuan Qinglisi, one of the four divisions of the Ministry of Officials, with the same duties.

And the official mansion in the story, that is, the official department of the former Ming Dynasty, changed its name.

In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng established a government in Xiangyang. After he stipulated the military system of the five field battalions and the garrisons in various places, he also set up six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers. The powers were equivalent to the six departments of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Zijing had seen these Dashun systems in later generations, so after Gu Junen introduced himself, he knew a thing or two about his position in Dashun.

I don't know what the elder brother meant by calling this person over.

Thinking about it, Li Zijing still looked at each other with a smile on his face, and quickly waved his hands away.

"I don't have any reputation. It's all due to the hard work of the brothers in the Chinese army, plus three minutes of talent. It's just luck."

Li Zicheng laughed, looked at Li Zijing very satisfied, and then looked at Gu Junen with a questioning look.

"How about it?"

"My third younger brother respects himself. He has made great achievements this time, but he is so modest and prudent. He didn't even compete for the first word when he was in Tongguan. Isn't it good?"

Gu Junen nodded again and again, and when he smiled, his small eyes directly turned into crescent-like slits.

"Huang Gong is very modest, that's all."

"Little King Chuang acts modestly and cautiously, and knows how to handle firearms. It seems that the overall situation in Jingxiang is expected to be settled."

Only then did Li Zijing understand that Gu Junen wanted to go to Jingxiang with him?

Just about to speak, Li Zicheng said with a smile.

"I haven't had time to say, respect yourself!"

"Qi Hou is from Zhong Xiang's family. He is very familiar with Huguang and has some connections in the local area. I can feel much more at ease when I send him to go with you."

"When you arrive in Xiangyang, write back to Brother Wei first. If you don't know how to write, you can ask Qi Hou to write for you. In short, let Brother Wei know when you will arrive safely."

"As for the situation in Xiangyang, it will not be too late to report later."

Li Zicheng stared at his eyes and sighed slightly.

"Respect yourself, these years, it's the first time you've left Brother Wei to lead an army alone and control one side."

"The situation in Jingxiang is chaotic now, and the Ming army and Qing captives are all watching. If it doesn't work, I have the right to return to Xi'an and send someone else for my brother."

"Remember, if you don't kiss someone, you will lose your life!"

Li Zijing's expression froze, such caring, even if it is a stone, his heart should be warmed up.

At least for Li Zicheng, now Li Zijing gradually developed respect.

"Brother, don't worry, I will teach you today, and I will take it to heart."

Gu Junen looked at the brotherly affection between the two of them, although he didn't speak, there was a slit in his eyes that sparkled.

The three chatted freely every day, and what they said was all about the situation in Jingxiang.

Because Li Zijing also really wanted to gain a foothold in the troubled times and survive, so he listened very carefully and immediately asked questions whenever he was in doubt.

Li Zicheng and Gu Junen also took turns to answer, one told the law of governing the government and the army, and the other introduced the local customs and geographical advantages and disadvantages of Jingxiang.

When Li Zijing walked out of Prince Qin's mansion, he found that the sky had turned dark inadvertently, and the night was hazy, covering the city of Xi'an.

During the war, the Dashun Army implemented a martial law policy in Xi'an.

At dusk, all noises are eliminated in the city, the doors and windows of the shops and houses along the street are closed tightly, and there is no one in the stalls of vendors that used to be endless.

The bustling streets when we came here are now quiet, only the heavy footsteps of the patrolling soldiers of the Dashun Army can be heard resounding endlessly.

Gu Junen and Li Zijing parted after they left the Qin Palace. According to him, they were going to prepare for their departure, and it would be useful when they arrived in Jingxiang.

Li Zijing also went back the same way, and came to the Weng City outside Anding Gate on the west side.

The large banner of the former battalion is flying in the air, but it is an old-style banner, which can be used by the previous former battalion general Gu Cheng.

Li Zijing's banner and banner are still being produced, and will be replaced in a few days.

Under Hao Yaoqi's command, the temporary camp of the former battalion in the barracks has been set up, and the old battalion of mules and horses has its own regulations.

Li Zijing glanced around slightly, and found that the camp was silent, most of the soldiers had already rested, only a few were on duty at night.

Of course, this is not the wild, and there is no need to arrange too many people on duty at night.

And Li Zijing hadn't selected a new team of officers yet, and he didn't know much about night duty and other things, and he didn't give instructions in advance, so tonight's routine was the same as the old one.

Li Zijing was familiar with the road all the way, and when he came to the big tent in the middle, he saw Hao Yaoqi guarding the door intently.

Seeing Li Zijing come back, Hao Yaoqi came forward to meet him.

"General Zhi, Wu Zhaosheng is here and has been waiting for you in the camp all afternoon."

　Originally, there were six governments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers. Gu Junen was the servant of the official government. In order to avoid the taboo of the word "government", they were all changed to "six government"
