Chapter 77 Gathering Intelligence
Xinzheng City is the base camp behind the Chuang army, and one of the important cities where military funds and money are stored.

In September, after Li Zicheng flooded Bianliang with water, Li Yan was dissatisfied, which made Li Yan very disappointed with Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng finally agreed to some of Li Yan's strategies and agreed to set up officials for the land he occupied. Set out to establish a complete set of official systems to appease this Henan tycoon.

Originally, Li Zicheng's initial establishment was after Chongzhen took Xiangyang in 16 years and became King Xinshun, and the formal establishment was when Chongzhen officially proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an in 17 years. However, Li Yan saw that Gao Yihuan did a good job in Luyi and had a successful pilot. Coupled with the stimulation of flooding Bianliang, the fleeing of victims, and the outbreak of plague, his desire to stabilize Henan as soon as possible became more intense, forcing Li Zicheng to agree to his opinion in advance.

At the end of September, shortly after the Chuangjun flooded Bianliang, Li Zicheng appeased Li Yan and restored the relationship between the two sides. Give cattle and seeds, recruit people to cultivate the fields, collect the land and pay the army, and try to transform from bandits to political power.

At this time, the second brother Gao was not able to change anything, but his incident affected those who had the ability to change the current situation, and made Chuangjun a political power, at least half a year earlier than in history.

Li Zicheng appeased Li Yan, and in order to stabilize people's hearts, he hastily handed over the affairs of the rear to Li Yan and Niu Jinxing after Xinzheng officially proclaimed King Xinshun, while he himself led the main force of the invading army to fight against the enemy. Guan's Sun Chuanting.

In Xinzheng City, in a shop, Gao Yicheng sat listlessly inside.Li Zicheng called Queen Xinshun and handed over the affairs of the rear to Li Yan. Li Yan immediately formulated some strategies to appease the refugees and control the plague. At the same time, he also encouraged the resumption of commerce and maintained the circulation of materials.

After Gao Yihuan got the news from Gao Zurong, he asked Gao Yicheng to come to Xinzheng to buy a few shops, which was convenient for him to trade with Zhou Ronghua and his group, and also for him to resell other supplies and inquire about the news of Chuangjun.

During this period of time, the plague was rampant in various parts of Zhongzhou, which had a certain impact on the second brother Gao's reselling, but he couldn't stand the huge profits. The second brother bought clothes and armor, bought food, and paid for disaster relief, but his assets did not decrease. Doubled, from more than 2 taels of silver to 10 taels.

1 taels of silver can buy 12 shi of grain, and Zhou Ronghua can earn 5000 taels per shi. He can earn more than [-] taels at a time. There is no limit, it is impossible for him to have as much as he wants, and the scale of this matter cannot be too large.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the grain that Ma Yuanwai can get every month is only about [-] shi, and any more will attract the attention of the government.

Grain reselling was restricted, so Second Brother Gao began to resell other items, such as porcelain, tea, cloth, and ironware. In short, he would sell whatever had a price difference.

Brother Gao didn't have any talents, so he coaxed and deceived, and recruited the squire Yang Yanchang and others from the city into the gang, and insisted on giving them money to help them expand their scale. Set up a stronghold.

After Gao Yicheng got Gao Yihuan's order, he bought some shops in Xinzheng, Luoyang and other places for material sales and intelligence gathering.

In Xinzheng City, although Li Yan has appointed officials and ordered the soldiers to be prohibited from looting and disturbing the people, the city gradually stabilized and order was restored, but because of the previous destruction by the bandits and the rampant plague, there were still few people on the streets.

A cloth shop along the street was purchased by Gao Yicheng. The two doors only cost more than ten taels of silver. There are a lot of cloth shipped from the south in the shop, but there are no people on the street at the moment, so the business is naturally deserted. .

"Boss, why do you think we are transporting so much cloth? No one came to the door for several days. I think we have lost money this time."

Among the old brothers, Gao Yicheng was the youngest, not yet twenty, and if he didn't follow the rapid expansion of the second brother's team, he could be regarded as a small leader now.

"The captain told me that these shops are losing money now, and they must continue to operate. He will be useful in the future. You know what." Gao Yicheng sat up from the recliner, glanced at the pawn who was talking next to him, and continued: " I’m telling you, this time we’re mainly waiting for the news of the decisive battle between King Chuang and the officers and soldiers, and the captain told me to find out and send it back to Luyi immediately.”

Second brother Gao tried to influence Li Yan before, intending to change the course of history, and he also made some actions himself, but in the end it seemed to have no effect.

This made him think that the inertia of history was so great that he could not affect anything in a short period of time, but this time Li Zicheng actually became king in Xinzheng ahead of schedule, which made the second brother a little panicked. It seemed that history had indeed begun to change.

This made him wonder how the situation would go next and whether it would go off track, so he suddenly rushed the ducks to the shelves, preparing to establish some intelligence points and collect information so that he could make a judgment.

"There are also Tartars outside the customs. This year they may also enter the bandits. I will leave it to you in a few days. I have to go to Shandong to find out the news." He's under a lot of pressure.

"The captain even knows that the Tartars are going to invade the bandits?" The soldier looked surprised, thinking that his captain was too amazing.

Gao Yicheng was about to take advantage of the momentum to brag about his second brother, but suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Zhou Ronghua led several people in hastily.

"Captain Zhou!" Gao Yicheng hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists when he saw the person coming.

Zhou Ronghua waved his hand, panting, "God Sun Chuanting is so damn powerful. Luoyang and Ruzhou were both defeated by the Qin army, and the family members of King Chuang in the old camp in Tang County were also killed by the army."

Gao Yicheng was surprised when he heard that, he had seen the scene of the Chuangjun battalion for hundreds of miles under the city of Kaifeng.

"Captain Zhou, are you kidding me?" Gao Yicheng's liver trembled a little, they are now part of the Chuang army, and the Chuang king has lost, so what should they do?

"I just got the news that Li Yangchun betrayed King Chuang and leaked secrets to the officers and soldiers. Sun Chuanting took advantage of the situation to break Baofeng and killed Chen Kexin. Then he ordered Tang County to kill all the family members of the old camp." Zhou Ronghua said with lingering fear: "Just now there is another news. Come on, Sun Chuanting and King Chuang fought in Jia County, General Guo Yi Xie Junyou was killed, and King Chuang was almost captured."

Gao Yicheng took a breath when he heard this, winked at the soldiers next to him, and then hurriedly asked, "Captain Zhou, come here today~"

Zhou Ronghua remembered the business, sat down in the shop directly, and then said: "I heard that my brother did a good job in treating the epidemic in Luyi, so I want to ask you to get a batch of medicinal materials and send me some doctors. "
