Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 197
No one was determined to attack Taiyuan, and there was not so much wrangling and hypocrisy among the peasant army. More than 300 cavalry were sent to attack Taiyuan symbolically, and with the remaining army, the other battalions quickly moved away. Zhoushan attacked Yuanping and Chunxian successively. After all, nearly 20 people came here to survive. There was no food to eat, and they would disperse without the army coming to attack.

At the same time, the news of Wang Jiayin's death was also confirmed, because Wang Jiayin's head was actually hung on the tower of Taiyuan Mansion.

As soon as he died, the disadvantages were immediately revealed. When Wang Jiayin was alive, no matter how selfish or disloyal he was, the emperor was the leader of the rebel army after all, no matter how selfish he was. With his death, the nearly 30 Shanxi peasant army lost their hearts.

The direct expression is that after the battle of Chunxian County, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's Chuangjun went straight to the north. They wanted to look at Mount Heng and go to the Datong Basin area that had never been fought before. Although Luo Rucai is selfish, he is not stupid. He was also very thick. He led his troops to follow Zhang Xianzhong's Eight Great Kings camp to the east, and planned to return to Shaanxi for a while.

Although all the ministries active in Shanxi sent messengers to express their support for Zijin Liang Wang Ziyong to continue to be the leader of the peasant army, and the 36th Battalion, which was famous in history, was formed, but the people's hearts were much more relaxed than when Wang Jiayin was there.

As for Song Qingshu himself, he also bid farewell to Zijinliang, but moved all the way along the Taihang Mountains, looting nearby counties.

The reason why Wang Jiayin's large team came here was to lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade. Now that the big tree fell, of course the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and they all went to seek their own way of life.

Next to the extremely dense ancient jungle road in the majestic Taihang Mountains, the two armies formed a long line, but they parted ways, and the road went in two directions. It's back to back, each going to face the unpredictable tomorrow.

On one side is the banner of begging for living, on the other side is the banner of the Eight Great Kings, and the three generals are also riding side by side. Zhang Xianzhong looks taciturn, Bai Wenxuan yawns heartlessly, and Song Qingshu calmly sways on the back of the horse. superior.

After a long time, seeing that the two armies were separated by more than half, and it was the turn of the Chinese army, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't bear it, and said helplessly, "Third brother, you really don't want to go with the brothers? "

"That's right! I think back then when the three of us galloped through Xi'an Mansion, what kind of prestige was that? Without you, this year almost didn't let Wang Jiayin, that damned bastard, bully you to death! Just follow us! To Guan Gouzi, you come up with ideas in the back, and I follow the elder brother to kill people in the front, and the three of us will conquer the world together, wouldn't it be fun?" Bai Wenxuan immediately echoed beside him.

Although I was really dissatisfied with Zhang Xianzhong at first, after all, I was full of hardships and went to the Yellow River, but what I saw was a dead end, and it was difficult to fly. Anyone who changed had to have some ideas, but after more than half a month of continuous movement, Song Qingshu fell I also think about it, and I am not so brooding.

Everyone is involuntary!

And besides the Yellow River, when so many people mutinied, Zhang Xianzhong always gave him the [-] or so Qingjian dead soldiers who followed him to death. This kindness cannot be forgotten.

However, this does not mean that Song Qingshu will continue to follow Zhang Xianzhong. The road he is going to take is too bumpy, and the smell of blood in his hands is too heavy, which runs counter to his own road.

Shaking his head very apologetically, Song Qingshu clasped his fists sincerely and said: "Brother is a person who has achieved a great career, while younger brother is a lot lazy. This time I came to Shanxi, and I also wanted to find a safe place to take everyone with me. If you can hide in the deep mountains, you will be satisfied if you can survive, otherwise the little brother can't beg for a living!"

"Little brother, I just want to live a peaceful life!"

Hearing Song Qingshu's long sigh, Zhang Xianzhong and Bai Wenxuan were also helpless. Whoever wants to live a peaceful life is not forced by this ghost world. If they don't get up and work hard, they will starve to death!
"Yeah! Everyone has their own ambitions, and I'm sorry for you, brother, so I won't force you here! But brother, I still have one thing to ask. Brother, you are much better at making a living than brother. There are still some women and children in the army. It is inconvenient to follow the army. Follow me Old Zhang, I don’t know that day, maybe he died under the sword of the officer, brother hope you can accept them!”

"Don't worry, big brother, if there are brothers who eat a mouthful, they won't be hungry!" Song Qingshu agreed without hesitation. He solemnly clasped his fists and promised.

"Okay, that's it, let's say goodbye, brother. When you come to elder brother with a load of useful ones in the future, give me a call. Even if it is thousands of miles away, elder brother will come here with all his might and fight side by side with brother!"

"Okay, brother was tired from beating that day, so feel free to come here to rest with brother, and brother will meet you at thirty li, sweep the tower and wait!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Reaching out to each other, the three of them parted ways. Watching Zhang Xianzhong and Bai Wenxuan gradually go away, Song Qingshu sighed with emotion. The fate of life is really floating like duckweed. Who would have thought At the beginning, Huang Hu, who was domineering and domineering, would eventually become brothers with himself, and who would have thought that the brothers who escaped from Xi'an together and shared life and death together, would end up being so successful in the end. Know if there is a chance to meet again.

Just when Song Qingshu was lost in thought, an excited voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Little nephew pays respects to Third Uncle!"

Song Qingshu's eyes widened in astonishment, he turned around and asked in surprise, "Fourth? You, why didn't you go with your adoptive father?"

No wonder Song Qingshu was shocked. The shy [-]-year-old boy who ran over behind him, dressed in black cloth, with two shoulder beasts hanging from his shoulders, was Zhang Xianzhong, the last of the Fourth Taibao. Li Dingguo, who once supported the last line of livelihood of the Nanming court in history!
"The adoptive father asked my nephew to bring some old and weak to accompany my third uncle. In the future, I will ask my third uncle to take me in!"

Seeing this young man's shy appearance, Song Qingshu was really overjoyed. Don't look at this boy as inconspicuous, he is absolutely amazingly talented. Zhang Xianzhong, a future general, is really giving himself a big gift!Laughing, Song Qingshu hurriedly bent over and jumped off the horse, put his arms around Li Dingguo's shoulders and said wretchedly with a strange look of trying to trick a little loli.

"Okay, my uncle will take care of you in the future. If you have a bite to eat, you will never be hungry, kid. By the way, do you have a partner? Is there someone you like? No? Uncle will introduce you to one! Zuojun Commander Zhao Monk him My niece is pretty good, she looks pretty and has big breasts! It's definitely suitable for you!"

Li Dingguo: "..."

Escaping from Shaanxi all the way, Song Qingshu has been thinking about where to go in the future. It is absolutely not advisable to go into exile like the peasant army in history. History has proved that if you want to grow up, you must have a base, otherwise, like Gao Yingxiang. During the period, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and they traversed most of China from south to north, but once the army was defeated, everything turned into the moon in the well, flowers in the water, and disappeared in smoke.

There must be a base!The sage said that those who have a permanent property have perseverance!After all, it is not the right way to rob all the way. Only when you settle down, have a stable territory to continue to engage in production, send troops and food, this is the way to continue fighting. Throw a lollipop, and the subordinates will disperse. This time is a lesson of blood. Even if Wang Jiayin is so beautiful, his wife and brother, clan cronies, and right and left hands eventually betrayed him and took his life!
But two times successively, he established a base by himself, but it ended in tragedy. On the way here, Song Qingshu kept reflecting, where did he lose?Thanks to Du Wenhuan's military book left after his death, Song Qingshu found some reasons.

Just like how the heroes fought for hegemony in the late Ming Dynasty, Han Liner, the strongest king of the Ming Dynasty, was too close to the main battlefield of the Yuan army. The main force of the huge red scarf army was almost spent in the war of attrition with the Yuan army. Zhu Yuanzhang became the climate.

On the other hand, there are many anti-kings in the south who are more powerful than Zhu Yuanzhang, but they have never lowered their stature like Zhu Yuanzhang. With the support of Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and a series of literati and celebrities, he defeated Fang Mingzhen, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and other powerful scholars, and finally unified the entire Jiangnan, and accumulated strength to overthrow the crumbling Dayuan in one fell swoop.

Keep a certain distance from the main force of the official army, and build a class to support yourself!Song Qingshu's eyes fell on Shanxi, the Taihang Mountain under his feet!
