A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 764
Luoyang has been the imperial capital for thousands of years. However, after 14 years of Chongzhen, it has been devastated by wars many times. Both inside and outside the city are extremely dilapidated.

After winter, the land became even more desolate. There were dilapidated wells everywhere, piles of rubble, and the cold wind blew past. The wild grass swayed among them, and there were still bones and wrecks in them. There were few pedestrians on the road. There is no smoke everywhere.

However, on the south bank of Luoshui, there are many tents with banners, with the words "Luo", "He", and "Sun" written on them. An old raven flew hoarsely and stayed on the top of a dilapidated temple, using Its red eyes stared at the group of Liuying people who were eating and drinking under the Powa.

"drink!"

"Hahahaha, what a joy!"

Amid silk and bamboo music, singing and dancing, a group of big men are eating and drinking in the mountains, with the sound of wild laughter from time to time.

Luo Rucai, who was dressed like a wealthy businessman with two mustaches, sat on the main seat, and beside him was his important counselor Yuan Gui, who was from Shandong.

Then the old masters of Ge and Zuo Wuying, old Hui Hui Ma Shouying, Ge Liyan He Yilong, Zuojin King He Jin, Changed King Liu Xiyao, Troubled Times King Lin Chengcheng, etc., and Sun Kewang who contributed to the camp, Li Dingguo, etc. Sitting next to him at the same table.

Luo Rucai's nephew Wang Long and his own general Yang Shengzu also got together with the generals of the family and had a few tables. However, his general Li Rugui had already gone south with the army of Chuangying Mabu to fight against the Runing Mansion.

After the battle of Zhuxian Town, Li Zicheng adopted Li Dingguo's strategy and decided to destroy Wang Qiaonian first, and then attack the Runing Mansion. However, seeing that the officers and soldiers in Kaifeng were timid, Li Zicheng slightly revised his military strategy and proceeded with both hands at the same time.

He, generals Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, Gao Yigong and others led a large cavalry team to ride finely, together with the cavalrymen of each leader, they stormed the Henan government with thunder.

The rest of the cavalry and most of the hungry infantry, led by Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi and others, went to Runing Mansion together with most of the hungry infantry under the command of each leader.

Right now, the officers and soldiers in Shaanxi were defeated by them. Wang Qiaonian died, and He Renlong, Zheng Jiadong, Niu Chenghu and others fled. Go to Shaanxi and return to your hometown in rich clothes.

There is nothing wrong in Henan Mansion, each family just gathers in the Luo Rucai camp all day long, drinking heavily and eating meat. At this time, there are rare food in front of everyone, and there are singing and dancing, it is really joyful.

Luo Rucai is addicted to sensuality, and wherever he goes to the counties, he always chooses the beauty of his children. There are hundreds of back rooms and several female music groups. Not to mention his hundreds of wives and concubines, all of them are outstanding, even the female musicians singing and dancing in the hall at this time are all It is beautiful and beautiful.

These rogue generals are all rough men and evil wolves. How many of them are not tempted to see these singing and dancing beauties?Fang Lang Xingkui laughed loudly just for nothing, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin was drooling, seeing a girl Yue Wu approaching, he hugged her even more fiercely, and shouted: "Beauty, come into the arms of a certain person!"

Amidst the woman's screams, Lin Chengcheng, the king of troubled times, slapped his legs and laughed loudly: "Lao He can't help it. If you don't know how to pluck a bird, you can start doing it on the field?"

The thieves laughed wildly again, He Jin kissed her on the neck forcefully, panting and said: "It's not like this is so hungry."

He kissed and bit at the same time, the blood on the woman's neck was shocking.

She forced a smile on her face, endured the pain, and didn't dare to resist at all. The rest of the female singer continued singing and dancing in fear.

He Jin finally hugged the woman into his arms, moved his right hand up and down, and said rudely to Luo Rucai: "Master Cao, I have taken a fancy to this woman, please tell me."

At this time Luo Rucai was served by several pretty women at the same time, two rubbing his shoulders, two tapping his legs, and one sitting in his arms, feeding delicious food into his mouth from time to time, without doing it himself.

After taking another bite of meat, Luo Rucai waved his hand indifferently, and said in his Shaanxi dialect with a Yan'an accent: "What is a mere girl? Master He is fancy, just hug her. I don't have much else , there are many beauties and children in the tent."

He even said to the thieves: "Every family has someone they like, just choose it, I, Lao Luo, will not frown."

Everyone cheered, and for a while the hall said: "Master Cao is proud."

"Master Cao is generous."

"Master Cao is really a role model for my generation."

As the head of the fifth battalion of Ge and Zuo, He Yilong was of course given special attention by Luo Rucai. At this time, there were also two women beside him who fed wine and meat, beat their legs and pinched their backs.

When the wine was hot, he felt a little emotional: "Master Cao's style, this suits He's appetite. Donkey balls, like King Chuang, are poor in clothes and bad food, and they are reluctant to eat a chicken. I will risk my beheading." What are you doing, what rebellion?"

"that is!"

He Jin and Liu Xiyao also quite agreed. Liu Xiyao said: "We rebelled in order to run rampant in the world as soon as possible! Eat meat in big bowls, weigh gold in big scales, play more with officials, gentry, wives and concubines, like King Chuang. What does it taste like?"

Recently, the Ge and Zuo people have had many contacts with Luo Rucai. Although Luo Rucai has many soldiers and horses, he is very wise and cunning, and his behavior is quite suitable for everyone. will be mean.

In addition to Xianying Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and Luo Rucai must be right and left hands. The leaders of each family have had a lot of contact with him recently, and there is a faint taste of admiring him as the leader. He Yilong even became close to Luo Rucai, calling them brothers.

Sun Kewang's eyes flickered, he held his wine glass, and pointed out: "How can I be a savage compared to King Chuang? King Chuang is a man with great ambitions, and now he is even more powerful..."

The hall became quiet, only the whistling of cold wind could be heard continuously pouring in from all parts of the ruined temple.

Luo Rucai's face was a little gloomy, and he waved his hand depressedly, telling all the singing and dancing girls to count down.Recently, Li Zicheng has become more and more autocratic, and he has become arrogant towards their equal allies, shouting and shouting, how can Luo Rucai and others feel at ease?

Since King Gao Chuang, each battalion has been an equal comrade-in-arms relationship. Those who agree will stay, and those who disagree will leave. Full democracy and freedom are preserved. What is this now? I, Luo Rucai and others, are you Li Zicheng's subordinates?
He Yilong also had an ugly face and cursed. He was quite dissatisfied with Li Chuang. When Cao and Wang were attacked, the Ge and Zuo battalions suffered a lot of losses.

The same is true after the battle of Zhuxian Town. The tens of thousands of Ming troops and thousands of cavalry troops who surrendered, especially the new troops in the middle, were mostly taken by Li Chuang. , a large number of horse mules, etc., are all dominated by Li Zicheng.

If it is said that the invading army is the main force in each battle, it is fine to distribute the spoils in this way... Otherwise, if Luo Rucai is the main force, eating will definitely not be so ugly.

What made He Yilong and the others unbearable was Li Chuang's attitude of treating them as his subordinates!

Who are they? They are all the leaders of each family and battalion. When they started their businesses, they were as old as Li Chuang.Doing all kinds of things, each holds his own plate, and each has his own opinions. How can he lose face and listen to others?

Sun Kewang's words aroused He Yilong's thoughts, and he couldn't help but yelled: "Donkey ball, you will get angry when you mention this matter, this class is not someone's servant, it's too annoying to act against the king. I'm chilled!"

Lin Chengcheng was equally aggrieved: "King Chuang broke the rules."

Luo Rucai's face was gloomy, he still didn't speak, just holding the wine glass and thinking about something.

This is not over yet, looking at everyone's expressions, Sun Kewang seemed to say something very plainly: "The next step for the rebel army is to attack Shaanxi. If Shaanxi is captured, King Chuang will be even more powerful... Hehe, I'm afraid that someone will not be defeated by King Chuang at that time." Put it in your eyes."

Li Dingguo pondered and decided, he continued his elder brother's words, and also seemed to mention casually: "I'm afraid Jieshi broke into the camp with the intention of annexation, what if he likes our soldiers and horses?"

Everyone in the hall was shocked, and everyone's expressions changed. He Yilong looked at Luo Rucai fiercely: "Master Cao, you are very resourceful, and you still hope to come up with a plan."

……

"The thieves are already very difficult to control, but how can there be no gaps in the joint operations of the various ministries? The students are not talented, so they are willing to take advantage of the gaps to make the thieves look at each other with their tongues, so as to break their hearts. The thieves will become self-born. also!"

The city of Kaifeng is shrouded in snow. In a side room of the governor’s yamen, Gao Mingheng, the governor of Henan Province, looks at the snowflakes outside the window with his hands behind his back. Arouse the fire of thieves and civil strife.

Gao Mingheng listened, and sighed for a long time: "Entering the tiger's den is a near-death experience."

"Confucius said benevolence, Mencius said righteousness!"

The scholar gave a deep salute, and said proudly: "If you can make all the thieves fight against each other and save me from the Ming Dynasty, why should we cherish this body?"

Gao Mingheng pondered for a long time, and said, "Forget it!"

He wrote a letter with pen and ink, but he forged a "reply letter" to Luo Rucai, which said: "I received the general's secret letter before, so I know that's the case. And when I saw the cannon shoot up during the battle, it won't hurt me. Soldiers, it shows the sincerity. With a mask on the face, it is a matter of time to worship..."

Looking at the letter in his hand, he said: "This manuscript will be sent out by the soldier who sent the dead, so that it will fall into the hands of the intruder intentionally, and it will definitely help you!"

……

The waves brought the tide, and they kept coming one after another, hitting the rocks, as if they were about to make a roar of heaven and earth.

Seeing the turbulent sea, the sea waves beating against the rocks, splashing foam from time to time, no matter whether it is Duoduo or Abatai, their faces change.

At this time, they were located in the port of Busan, the easternmost part of North Korea. Besides the port, there was also a small castle here. Of course, this kind of low and dilapidated small castle, after they were used to seeing the tall cities in the Central Plains After that, they all dismissed it.

At this time, they were stationed in North Korea. Apart from searching for food and grass, they were busy organizing the Eight Banners of Korea. According to Emperor Xuantong Dorgon's intention, all the Korean naval forces were incorporated into the Eight Banners of Korea.

With the help of these traitors, it was much easier for the Qing army to rectify North Korea. Of course, the result was that the entire North Korean country was shrouded in hell. A search, this winter, I don't know how many people will starve to death and freeze to death.

Luxurious gold-woven dragon banners stand vertically, and densely packed bayaras gather. Around the port, there are also ants-like Koreans busy. All of them wear big-brimmed hats. Because of their different identities, the material and shape of the hats It's not the same, wearing high-waisted shoes with white cloth socks on the feet.

In addition to men, many women were also whipped and participated in the construction of the port. At this time, their clothes will be more pleasing to the eye, because Korean women are very popular in revealing breasts. for pity.

Because the emperor intended to plunder Japan after the army captured Korea, the two Tatar generals ordered to repair the Port of Pusan, and they even went to the seaside to look across the sea.

The majesty of the sea has always made people who don't know the ocean intimidated. Seeing the rough sea, Duoduo and Abatai's expressions changed completely.

Abate also learned from the North Korean navy that the distance from Busan to the opposite bank of Japan, not counting Tsushima Island, was only more than 400 miles. However, the few hundred miles to Haiti were daunting.

The Qing cavalry galloped on land, but when they reached the sea...

Abatai even thought in his heart: "When Dayuan attacked Japan, why did it fail?"
