After Qin Shihuang Lived for A Long Time, All Human Beings Were Looking for Me Madly

"It turned out to be this matter..." Su Tian smiled, as if the problem was not too big.

"Then may I ask the Immortal Master, is it better to choose Li Zicheng or to attack Zhang Xianzhong first?

Chongzhen asked this question, and there is some truth in it.

It stands to reason that to attack a certain force, it must be to attack the weak rather than the strong.

Li Zicheng's influence is large, while Zhang Xianzhong's influence is small, which is a fact that everyone recognizes.

The current situation, if Chongzhen goes to attack Li Zicheng, then the final result.

It is possible that Zhang Xianzhong will send reinforcements. After all, it is possible for the other party to want to understand the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

If he went to fight Zhang Xianzhong, then Li Zicheng might not come to support him when he was powerful.

The first is that he does not look down on Zhang Xianzhong, and the second is that he was afraid of fighting against the Ming army because he was already beaten by the first battle in the capital at the beginning of the year.

And now, the courtiers of Chongzhen also feel that attacking Zhang Xianzhong is a good choice.

However, Chongzhen still felt that it would be better to come and ask Su Tian about the use of soldiers.

"I just want to ask you, do you really have to put Zhang Xianzhong to death? Or if you can recruit him, will you still choose to recruit him?

Su Tian thought about it for a while, and handed over the choice to Chongzhen.

Recruit Zhang Xianzhong?

Hearing this, the two people on the opposite side were stunned.

Zhang Xianzhong has been recruited to surrender more than once in history, but before Chongzhen, he couldn't even issue the salary of Liaodong.

Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong, who led to surrender, kept betrayed repeatedly.

The previous Chongzhen hated Zhang Xianzhong's behavior.

But now what...

After being here with Su Tian for a long time, he seems to have understood the truth that there are only eternal interests and no eternal enemies.

In the third year of Chongzhen (1630), Zhang Xianzhong gathered farmers in Shibaizhai in his hometown to organize a team to respond to the riots of Wang Jiayin and others, and called himself "Eight Great Kings".

In the winter of the sixth year of Chongzhen, most of the peasant army crossed the Yellow River.

As for the reason why Chongzhen hated Zhang Xian so deeply, it was naturally because he excavated the ancestral tomb of the emperor's family.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, all the peasant rebels at that time were besieged by the official army in Heyinan.

In order to break out of the encirclement, the leaders of the 13 peasant armies held a military meeting in Xingyang, Henan Province, and decided to divide their troops to attack and break the encirclement and suppression plan of the official army.

Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng marched towards the east under the leadership of Gao Yingxiang, who was the king at that time.

The main force of this East Route Army is Zhang Xianzhong's troops. His troops fought valiantly, even breaking through prefectures and counties such as Gushi in the south of Heyi and Huo Yiqiu in Anhui, and directly pointed to Fengyiyang, the central capital of the dynasty.

Zhang Xianzhong's troops, in less than half a day, wiped out the 20,000 officers guarding Fengyang, killed the guard Zhu Guozheng and others, and captured Yan Rongxuan, the prefect of Fengyiyang.

And in front of all the people, after scolding him for his crimes one by one, he was sentenced to capital punishment.

Zhang Xianzhong distributed the products of victory and the food in the treasury to the local poor peasants, also called peasants and the people of the four townships, and cut down hundreds of thousands of pines and cypresses in the imperial mausoleum.

He also demolished the surrounding buildings and the Longxing Huangjue Temple where Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk, and then dug the emperor's ancestral tomb, and at the same time killed the wealthy households in Feng Yiyang.

When Chongzhen heard the news later, he immediately put on mourning clothes and ran to the Taimiao Temple to cry loudly at the spiritual position of his ancestors;

He also ordered the officials of the court to wear vegetarian food before they could handle official duties, expressing condolences for the digging of the emperor's ancestral tomb.

In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, under the strong offensive of the official army, in order to preserve his strength, Zhang Xianzhong in Gucheng and Luo Rucai in other places respectively accepted the brief edict of Xiong Wencan, the minister of military affairs.

After accepting Zhao'an, Zhang Xianzhong refused to accept being reorganized and dispatched by the Ming army, did not accept any military rank and official rank, and maintained the independence of his original army.

In May of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong repeated the rebellion in Gucheng, and then led his troops to quickly overwhelm the guards of Gucheng.

At this time, he did a big thing.

When he left Gucheng, he wrote down the list, number and time of the officials who demanded bribes from him during this period in detail on the walls inside and outside the city, so that the people could see clearly the corruption of Ming Dynasty politics.

This is also the reason why Zhang Xianzhong rebelled again after he surrendered.

Because not only can't pay the salaries, but also all kinds of officials, big and small, came to ask for bribes.

Such a corrupt court is not worthy of his service, and his approach is also a bachelor.

After letting Chongzhen know about this, he was speechless for a while.

For this person, Chongzhen's thought is also very complicated.

"The immortal master means..." Chongzhen recalled Zhang Xianzhong's appearances and felt that Zhao'an was not particularly reliable.

Seeing Su Tian smiling but not saying a word, Chongzhen frowned slightly, there may be details that he didn't figure out.

0.....For flowers........

Su Tian had told him before that Zhang Xianzhong had a godson named Li Dingguo, who was a famous general in the original historical line and a famous post-war gold general in the future.

Let him be sure to get this person, so that the subsequent battles will be easier.

"That Zhang Xianzhong has now entered Sichuan, and his power has been greatly improved, so I am worried that he will not accept Zhao'an!"

Chongzhen shook his head with a wry smile, he also wanted to get Li Dingguo, but he didn't allow it in the current situation!

In December of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Yang Sichang saw that the peasant army could not be eliminated, so he adopted the method of "recommendation" in an attempt to divide and disintegrate.

Yang Sichang announced the pardon of Luo Rucai's crime, and those who surrendered were given official positions, but Zhang Xianzhong was not pardoned, who could capture Zhang Xianzhong as a reward of ten thousand gold and be named a marquis.

These are also the meanings of Chongzhen. He felt that Zhang Xianzhong, who had rebelled after Zhao'an before, must be killed.

.0

As a result, there are many contradictions now, making it basically impossible to make an imperial order again.

After all, when people were weak before, you had to fight to the end, and you didn't want to let him go. Now that you have been in Sichuan for so long, your power has grown.

The possibility of being apprehended again is very slim, at least Zheng Chenggong, who was sitting on the side, felt that if it was himself, he would definitely not be apprehended.

"It's definitely not advisable to send an order directly, and the other party is not a fool.

Seeing that Chongzhen had figured this out, Su Tian smiled slightly and began to explain his decision.

"But if Daming's army enters Sichuan first, and fights with the opponent for one or two games, after frustrating the opponent's spirit, they will have peace talks.

"Then show your courage to reform, show your sincerity, nothing more than money and power, and let him assist in attacking Li Zicheng together.

"After such a long time, he has gradually become a member of the Ming court, and at that time, it will not be difficult to deal with it.

Regarding Zhang Xianzhong, Su Tian thought so much, mainly because of a reason of Li Dingguo.

Daming has too few generals to use now, or in other words, except for Zheng Chenggong, who has not yet risen, only one Huang Degong is half a general.

Oh?

The opposite Chongzhen and Zheng Chenggong looked at each other and immediately understood what Su Tian meant.

"Please immortal master teach me!"

Chongzhen asked eagerly.

Simple to say, but not so easy to do.

Only after comprehending the essentials can this rule be implemented.
