total war broken

Chapter 334 Surging Undercurrent

The next morning, the sun shone into the city, and there was already a sea of ​​cheers inside. Thousands of refugees cheered, as well as Guan Ning's army. They happily harvested the heads of the Tatars, with a kind of joy, as if they couldn't believe it. With the results in front of them, they could no longer remember the last time they had a great victory, or perhaps there was no great victory at all.

A group of people also looked very happy. From the houses, they looked at the Ming army outside the city, and they all looked in disbelief. It seemed that they didn't believe that the Ming army came to rescue themselves.

"Report! Oboi has escaped" one person reported, while Xiao Chuan looked around strangely, and said, "What's going on? Aren't our soldiers all around yesterday, and they couldn't escape even if they climbed over the wall?" How could he be allowed to run away with all the nets in the world?
"The tunnel was built in advance in the city!" said the man, pointing to a place in the city far away, everyone understood, Wu Sangui was surprised and said: "The Tartars are still so cunning!" This Oboi has already broken everyone's hearts The image of a tartar is arrogant and savage, but this Oboi is extremely cunning and knows how to buy people's hearts, but it is precisely because he knows how to buy people's hearts that Xiao Chuan easily won the city.

Xiao Chuan is also different, this Oboi is a little different from the one in his own image, maybe he is so cunning, otherwise how could he have such monstrous power, but this person is really powerful, first he is from Xuanhu and then from Jiancheng. If he didn't prescribe the medicine in advance, he might not be able to take down this city. In the future, this person will definitely be his formidable enemy.

After clearing these, they began to walk into the city again.The land in the city was wet with a foul smell, and an unknown number of people were squeezed into the houses in the surrounding city. They walked out of the city like a tide, and the stones of the city gate had been cleaned.

Wang Heng looked around and said with a big laugh, "I'm afraid we have taken down no less than 24 people this time. These are the cornerstones of our Qingzhou Army's future!"

Xiao Chuan nodded and said, "There have been locust plagues, droughts, and population loss in Shandong. Now there are only a little over 150 million people left. Most of these people are tenants of landlords. According to the statistics of the number of people in various health offices, there are no more than five people on the books. This would replenish our population quickly."

"Shandong's troops are all in Liu Zeqing's place. After we go back, the first priority is to deal with Liu Zeqing." Xiao Chuan said, this man has [-] soldiers who can fight. Hanging and beating the insurgents, but raising thieves to claim credit, never destroying them at all, and repeatedly letting the insurgents survive.In the back, there is ineffectiveness in suppressing thieves, just like Liu Ze invited He Renlong and his ilk. After an insurgent army really became bigger and stronger, they surrendered in groups.

"This person has been operating in Shandong for many years and has connections with landlord families everywhere. If we block the development of Shandong, this person must be eliminated," Wang Heng said. For yourself, can these ** be for yourself?And Liu Zeqing would hand over [-] elite soldiers so willingly?
"The real problem with Liu Zeqing's disease is those families who control the land," Wang Heng said. This time, the powerful landlords are his real biggest enemy.

"It's easy to handle. Solving them is why we developed Sakuma to be a pirate!" Xiao Chuan laughed out loud as he said that, but he didn't regard the families from all over the world as the same thing at all. His own pirate group had grown stronger. A group composed of Viking pirates as the backbone, recruiting Japanese ronin, mercenaries, and ninjas can completely handle these things for themselves. Afterwards, they are not effective in defending against Japanese pirates. It has nothing to do with me that all members of these families died fighting against pirates.

"I'm afraid they will collude internally and externally." Wang Heng said, "So this time we still need to act first." He made a stern expression.

During the conversation between the two, Xu Wenjue and others came, but Xiao Chuan stopped talking.This time they had joy on their faces, the meritorious deeds represented by the heads of the Tartars all wanted to drive them crazy, almost fighting for the heads.

"What should these people do?" Xu Wenjue asked. Immediately, everyone's expression changed. They were all wealthy landowners who were not short of people and money. None of them were willing to accept these refugees. Population resides.

"Then the general will resettle these people, and I will arrange for my soldiers to send all these people back to their homes." Xiao Chuan said, everyone said that the general is benevolent, but they feel that Xiao Chuan is stupid for raising such a group of useless people. people.

After that, the army went out of the city, and the Beifu army brought the endless people to watch Qingzhou transportation. In the future, they would become the Tuntian army, and then there was the endless red ocean.

**********
A big camp, the big camp is full of neighing sounds of mules and horses, with a shrill sound, the inside and outside of the camp are clearly distinguished, outside are dilapidated thatched huts, full of dirt, and hungry people in rags are outside. Wandering, working, some are making equipment, it looks very dilapidated, armored thieves are wandering in it, and when they see someone lazy, they will drink or beat them with a whip.

Going further into the inner camp, people are wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands. They look more energetic and energetic. The military camp is also very neatly arranged, with all kinds of facilities, trenches, and queues. It is also very neat, and there are stables in the middle, with war horses inside.

In the innermost part is another big camp, a group of sturdy sergeants, with indifferent expressions, red cherry hats, all kinds of sophisticated weapons in their hands, some of them are still wearing the armor of the Ming army, holding firecrackers in their hands There was a large tent in the middle, and there were waves of arguments.

"No way, the Qingzhou army is the best in the world, Zhang Xianzhong, Tartars, Japanese pirates can fight it? We can't get it right"

"They just looted the Manchu Qing camp in Hebei. How much gold, silver, treasures, and food and grass are in it? If they get it, how much is it? Anyway, the people who died for this money are starving people!"

"Stop arguing," said a man with a handsome and indifferent face as the leader. He was wearing a big felt hat and a red cloak and looked at the crowd in the room. .Said: "Don't argue, the Qingzhou army is elite in the world, if you want his food and grass, you need a long-term plan." He said hesitation in his tone.

"No, King Chuang, the Qingzhou Army is the hero who fought against the Tartar Japanese pirates. If we attack them, we may lose the hearts of the people." A person beside him said, he was dressed in a blue cloth, and although he was dressed as a scholar, he had a sword across his waist and a burly figure. , is Li Zicheng’s favorite general Li Yan recently. This person joined the rebel army last year. Unlike history, he joined the rebel army earlier. He proposed a strategy to help the rebel army carry out political propaganda, and let businessmen and children sing everywhere, "Open the gate to welcome the king, When Chuang Wang came, he didn’t pay the food", "Open the door early to pay homage to Chuang Wang, discipline everyone to be happy" This ballad was compiled by him, and the strategy of propagating benevolence and righteousness among the people, after that, the effect was remarkable. Li Zicheng, who defeated Shangluo Mountain after surrendering, miraculously took down several cities, and all the hungry people in the city opened their doors, which made Li Zicheng re-nirvana.

Although Li Zicheng's army burned, killed and looted, it was inconvenient to disseminate these ancient information, and children and businessmen from all over the country sang these songs, which led everyone to think that Li Zicheng was a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. I don't know how to feed his hundreds of thousands of troops without looting. Li Zicheng tried When it comes to sweetness, Li Yan is even more admirable, but he has always shirked his policy of prohibiting looting and humiliating women. With so many troops under his command and no base of his own, the only way to support him is to rob.

This time, he was asked not to rob the Qingzhou army, which made him even more troubled. The other party robbed the Qing army camp, how much food, grass, gold and silver, if he ambushed halfway, these things would not all be his own, but for Li Yan, who is like the mainstay of the rebel army, is not easy for him to refuse directly. He has seen the ability of this person, but he always proposes some strategies that give him headaches. Liu Zongmin glanced aside.

Liu Zongmin understood and said: "General Li's words are wrong. As a Ming general, he fought against the Tartars in order to consolidate Zhu Ming's regime and to allow the court to exploit the people even more. What's the use of justice? Moreover, all this money is It was the money that the Tartars plundered the people of our Ming Dynasty. If it was carried away by the Qingzhou army, it would be in the hands of the civil officials of the imperial court, and let those dog officials bully the people of the world. Such ill-gotten wealth should be taken by our rebel army. Of."

After he finished talking, all the old brothers of Li Zicheng followed suit, while Li Yan secretly sighed and couldn't speak. Such a thief can really make a big deal, but this time he has nowhere to go Go, and said: "The Qingzhou army is the elite of the world, and they are fighting in the field. Even the elites of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are no match, and our rebel army can't beat them." What he thought in his heart was that the opponent was a hero against the Tartars, and he didn't want to rob this place. Heroes, and from a strategic point of view, Hou Jin is the real enemy, but the group of big bastards in front of them don't think about problems from a strategic point of view, all they think about is how to rob.

"You, how can you grow other people's ambitions and destroy your own wind?" said the general Hao Yaoqi beside him, said a common saying, but suddenly forgot the words and looked very embarrassed.A person on the side said: "Destroy your prestige" Everyone laughed, and Hao Yaoqi also blushed and stopped talking.

"Everyone has seen the firearms of the official army. Are the firearms of the real elite army sharp? Everyone has seen the Qin army of Sun Chuanting. The firearms of the Qingzhou army are ten times sharper, and their combat power is far higher than that of the Qin army. So we How to fight in the field?" Li Yan said: "I'm afraid we won't be able to rush into their positions if all the hungry people die."

Some people on the side looked pale, some were dissatisfied. Song Xiance said: "This is wrong. I have studied the combat strength of the Qingzhou Army. It is not as strong as General Li said. This Ming army's field battle is not a real field battle, but a first-term battle." Fortress, we have artillery and blunderbuss to defend the enemy, and the blunderbuss is sharp, but the ammunition will eventually run out. Our rebel army will have hundreds of thousands of hungry people. After the battle, we will find hundreds of thousands more. There will always be a time when the gunpowder will run out. After that, Even Bu Ying, the old Ying brothers stepped forward, are they afraid that they will not be able to defeat this group of Ming troops?"

"That's right, the countless hungry people are the advantage of our rebel army. No matter how strong the firecracker is, we'll just wait until the bullets are exhausted."

A group of people echoed loudly, but Li Yan sighed helplessly. What he was thinking was to help the rebel army gain prestige. He believed that only by winning the hearts of the people could he win the world. The achievements of the rebel army were based on a series of propaganda. If you expose your own lies, who in the world will be a thief?If he didn't want to fight the Qingzhou Army this time, what he thought was not to provoke the well-known hero in the world. If he didn't think he couldn't beat him, he sighed helplessly, looked at the generals in the room, and sighed secretly, "What a bunch of horse thieves!" Incomparably, only the rebel army is the way out for the common people. He wholeheartedly wants to change this group of looting thieves, but he has nothing to gain, which makes him a little disheartened.

"Every family in Shandong contacted me and betrayed the Qingzhou Army's journey south. In this battle, we will attack the opponent when he is unprepared. We must take down the Qingzhou Ming Army in one fell swoop." Li Zicheng said, "Qingzhou Army Go First The capital accepts the cheers of all the people, and it will be arrogant in the future, and our attack on the road will be surprisingly successful! They must not be prepared"

Everyone started to make plans, and Li Zicheng called Li Yan over. He has always valued this talented young man, but he felt that some of the opponent's strategies were not suitable for the current rebel army, and said: "Bu Zhi (Li Yan) You have worked hard, this time you have contributed a lot to the propaganda of our rebel army, and these cities that took down the Ming army these days are also credited to you." His words of encouragement and care moved Li Yan very much, but Li Zicheng was Very good at buying people's hearts, even when Shang Luoshan was defeated, many of his subordinates killed their wives and followed him.

Li Yan sighed, Li Zicheng's kindness moved him, but he was helpless, he said: "The students are dedicated to the rebel army, alas, King Chuang, the rebel army really can't plunder the people anymore!"

Li Zicheng didn't take it seriously, wouldn't he starve to death if he didn't plunder the common people? He looked at Li Yan in front of him, but he couldn't refute him. , if we have a solid rear in the future, our rebel army will definitely stop killing and looting."

Li Yan shook his head and sighed. He also understood some of Li Zicheng's difficulties. Li Zicheng said again: "This time, your fire gun team, I will use your five hundred fire gun team, which was just captured last time." He said this to win people's hearts. , Li Yan's fire gun soldiers are indeed sharp, but these big guys like the fire gun can't play with them at all. They have been working hard to cultivate the power of Li Yan's fire gun soldiers. He already has three thousand fire gun soldiers under his command. There are also many craftsmen accompanying him.

"Thank you King Chuang!" Li Yan clasped his fists and said with emotion in his heart, Li Zicheng said by way of saying, "Don't go back to the army tonight, you and I can have a drink here, let's go find some wine and meat later."

When Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo heard about it, he randomly walked outside to look for wine and meat.

The two had a heart-to-heart chat among them, Li Zicheng was good at winning people's hearts, no matter the defeat in the army, a large number of heartfelt subordinates would follow him.
