Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

The forces of these forts rose and fell suddenly, either because of the capture and execution of officials, or by being annexed by other forts.

Its prosperity is booming, and its demise is sudden!

Such as Huanglaoshan in Shangqiu, Lan Da and Lan Er in Xuzhou, Nezha and Erziwang in Shangshui...

It appears like a flash in the pan, and then disappears sadly!

Baowu annexed each other after more than ten years of attacks.

Now there are only four major forces left, as well as some small forces mixed in between.

Around Kaifeng, there are Guo Huanglian, Zhang Changji, Wang Yanbin, Ning Zhen, and Wang Wenhuan.

In the east, there are Li Zhenhai, Fang Wenyu, Xu Xianhuan, Cheng Xiaoyu, Qi Nianwu, etc.

(The strength of these two groups was greatly damaged due to the bursting of the Yellow River's banks, and they were gradually drawn together by the Ming army to resolve them. They have become official and can be regarded as one force.)

In the west, Li Jiyu controlled the forces of Shen Jingbang, Ren Chen, Zhang Ding and others, and became the uncrowned king of western Henan.

In the south, Liu Hongqi controlled Zhou Jiali, Li Hao, Zhang Yang and others and became the overlord of the south.

In the Nanyang area, as Bai Wang went to Jianghan and fought with Zuo Liangyu, Nanyang was hollowed out, and the local Baowu overlord Xiao Yingxun emerged.

The largest fortress in Xiping County is personally controlled by Liu Hongqi.

He also had the greatest power in Henan, and once controlled Guang, Gu, and Ru in Runing Prefecture, as well as Xu, Shang, and Lin in the south of Kaifeng.

you can say it this way--

Today, the most powerful force in Henan is not the Ming Army or the Chuang Army, but these Baowu armed forces!

In addition to the people inside the city, [-]% of the people outside the city have been controlled by these forts.

It is precisely because of this situation that after the Qing Dynasty took control of the Central Plains, these local village forces were able to resist the Qing Dynasty for nearly 20 years.

The reason why heroes become heroes is not isolated or accidental.

The reason why a hero is called a hero lies not only in the hero's success, but also in the hero's regret and tragedy!

Even though the deeds of these reckless heroes have long been submerged in the long river of epics, they should still be remembered.

……

Imperial power never went to counties, or rather to the countryside!

These dog meat mats, which are not allowed on the table, have always been taboo in history books.

Therefore, although forts are everywhere, heroes are always present in time and space.

However, in the official records, the hero behind Baowu barely occupies a single word!

There are only a few notes from people at the time, recording the tip of the iceberg at that time.

Even in later generations, it was difficult to write papers, and people were eager to pick out a fresh point of view from every nook and cranny. These Baowu forces were still not liked by everyone.

Because there is too little information!

Writing is so difficult!

Although Zhu Youjian was a master's student later in life, he still knew little about Baowu and didn't know much about it.

It was precisely because of this situation that Zhu Youjian, who occupied Ye County, had no idea that just two hundred miles southeast of him, there was a hero who worked hard for the Ming Dynasty.

In Xiping Village, Chen Qianfu, who was trying his best to persuade Liu Hongqi, also didn't know that the emperor he longed for had already arrived by his side...

Ye County.

After three days of preparation, Zhu Youjian decided to go straight to Nanyang!

"Lee Laiheng!"

Zhu Youjian shouted in a deep voice.

Li Laiheng drove his horse forward, turned over and dismounted: "The general is here!"

"I intend to go straight to Yuzhou (Fangcheng), do you dare to be the first to lead the army?"

Li Laiheng cupped his fists and bowed: "The last general is willing to be a pioneer!"

"good!"

Zhu Youjian took out a command arrow and handed it to Wang Chengen, saying:

"The emperor ordered Li Laiheng's tribe to be the vanguard of the army. He would lead the army first and build bridges over mountains and rivers, directly to the outside of Yuzhou City. If there is an opportunity, I can seize Yuzhou!"

Li Laiheng took the command arrow from Wang Chengen and responded loudly.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said:

"Take your loyal camp and set off first!"

"According to the order!"

Li Laiheng responded, got on his horse and ran towards the newly established Loyalty Camp.

Half of the soldiers in the Loyalty Battalion were elites selected from the soldiers who had been surrendered by the invading army.

Zhu Youjian handed over the suspect directly to Li Laiheng without doubting the person he hired.

As a time traveler and familiar with most people’s lives, this is the biggest golden finger!

Li Laiheng's reputation was not prominent, and even Li Guo did not care about his adopted son's defection to the Ming Emperor.

But they don't know how outstanding Li Laiheng is!

This is a fierce and loyal man!

With a small area of ​​land, he was able to support the Qing government alone for 20 years, and even blocked the Qing government's overwhelming power for three years!

This ability is rare throughout history!

With Li Laiheng as the vanguard, Zhu Youjian can rest assured.

"Liu Tichun!"

Zhu Youjian once again called out a general who had been summoned by him.

A few days ago, Lao Liu got a bit high by forcing the city to pay him, so he actually went to Caoxian County, Shandong Province and wandered around...

Damn it, this guy robbed the homes of several corrupt officials and brought back more than 300 million taels of silver. The other treasures were useless.

Because of this, Zhu Youjian scolded him angrily: He's so awesome, why didn't he go to Qufu and raid the Confucius Mansion.

Lao Liu replied aggrievedly - he didn't dare to go...

The Kong family is too powerful and has tens of thousands of thugs. If he goes there, he won't be able to get paid, and he is afraid that he will be skinned alive...

These words made Zhu Youjian dumbfounded, so he had to be left alone for a few days, and he was not even given a place at the head of the camp.

Old Liu Zheng was so worried that he didn't know if he had completely hated the emperor. Who would have thought that when he went on an expedition today, his name would be called the second time.

"Hey, hey, I'm here, I'm here!"

Liu Tichun jumped off his horse and ran over.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

Liu Tichun looked at the emperor with a flattering expression.

This rough man with beards had such a hopeful look on his face that Zhu Youjian almost couldn't hold it back.

He coughed, suppressed his laughter, and said:

"You asked Zhang Luoyan to ask for a thousand soldiers to protect the people as they marched behind. Is it possible to accomplish this?"

"what?"

Old Liu was dumbfounded.

Let him guard the old camp?

"Why, could it be that you don't want to?" Zhu Youjian deliberately kept a straight face.

Liu Tichun is capable, but he lacks political ability.

To put it bluntly, he was too reckless and not careful enough.

If you don’t change this problem, when will you be able to take charge of your own business?

If he met those who were playing dirty tricks, wouldn't this guy be eaten up and wiped clean?

Liu Tichun drooped his face, took the token from Wang Chengen, and muttered:

"The general is willing."

"Wang Yushi!"

Zhu Youjian called Wang Zhang again and said:

"Wang Qing, Liu Tichun is reckless, please teach him more."

The injury on Wang Zhang's leg has long since healed, but he is still a little lame and can't walk without a limp.

He bowed and saluted:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what to do."

Wang Zhang is a loyal minister. With him teaching Liu Tichun, Zhu Youjian can rest assured.

"A cow becomes a tiger!"

Zhu Youjian summoned the general of the Chu army who was the first to surrender to him after leaving the capital, and said:

"You will protect me."

Niu Chenghu agreed.

"Brothers of the Zhang family!"

Zhu Youjian called the five brothers Zhang Luojun again and said: "You are responsible for commanding the army, and the whole army is setting off!"
