Song Xiance came closer to Liu Sheng and said mysteriously: "Does the leader know the prophecy?"

Knew it.

Liu Sheng was not surprised by Song Xiance's words and said: "Of course we know that prophecies about prophecies were popular in the Qin and Han Dynasties and have appeared in all dynasties since then.

The earliest recorded one is that in the Qin Dynasty, a meteorite fell from the sky, and a letter was written, "The First Emperor died and the earth was divided", which foreshadowed the death of the second generation of the Qin Dynasty.

The most recent one is that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, a one-eyed stone man was dug out of the Yellow River. Later, the folk song "The stone man with one eye in Mo Dao stirred up rebellion in the Yellow River" was spread, which started the Red Turban Army uprising. "

Song Xiance was surprised when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect Liu Sheng to know so much about the prophecy.

But he quickly came to his senses and praised: "The leader is really knowledgeable - the clever idea I want to propose is a prophecy ballad."

"Oh? Tell me." Liu Sheng showed a hint of curiosity.

Naturally, he didn't believe the prophecy, but he was really curious about what Song Xiance would make up.

He remembered that what Song Xiance gave to Li Zicheng in history seemed to be "Eighteen Sons, the main artifact".

It means "those with the surname Li want to conquer the world".

Very simple.

After chatting for a while, they learned that Liu Sheng was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but Song Xiance actually had little confidence in his prophecy strategy.

But having come this far, he had to try.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "The golden sword is the main divine weapon."

"Ha ha···"

Liu Sheng couldn't help it and had to laugh.

He thought Song Xiance could give some fresh prophecies, but he didn't expect to get one that was very similar to Li Zicheng.

Seeing Liu Sheng laughing, Song Xiance was embarrassed.

An Jun on the side looked ugly and thought to himself: Why am I so obsessed with sending this charlatan here? You will definitely be severely criticized by the leader later.

Liu Sheng noticed Song Xiance's expression and said with a smile: "This prophecy means 'the one with the surname Liu will win the world', right?"

Song Xiance smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes."

Liu Sheng shook his head and said, "There are so many people with the surname Liu in the world. Among the existing leaders of the peasant army, they probably exceed the number of five fingers. So, how can this prophecy let the people know that I am the one who wants to win the world?" Woolen cloth?"

Song Xiance forcefully explained: "The leader doesn't know something, so this prophecy cannot be made too clear. Otherwise, if it spreads out, it will not only be unhelpful to the rebels, but will also cause the rebels to be targeted by the court."

Liu Sheng still shook his head, "This prophecy is too crude. Mr. Song should change it to a better one that can contact me by my full name."

In fact, Liu Sheng didn't care about the prophecy. He said this just to tease Song Xiance.

Song Xiance wanted to make up a name that could be associated with Liu Sheng's full name from the beginning, but he could only find out that the rebel leader's surname was Liu, but he couldn't find out his name at all.

How could he come up with a satisfying ballad when he was just making it up on the fly?

He thought about it and felt that he couldn't think of anything good at the moment.

He also felt that he could not change the prophecy casually like this, as it would make Liu Sheng feel that the prophecy was worthless.

So I started to think of other ideas.

Soon he thought of something.

"Chief, your army has been claiming to be the 'Huabu Rebels'?"

"good."

"Then what exactly does 'Huabu' mean?"

After hearing this, Liu Sheng couldn't help but look at Song Xiance and said: "I, the people of China, all call themselves Chinese Miao people overseas, so I named it Huabu, which means that all ethnic groups of Han and barbarians are included in the Hua tribe and the Chinese people."

Song Xiance didn't expect Liu Sheng to have such a grand ambition, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then he became excited - if he could follow this person now, Song Xiance would really become the founding father of the country in the future, and even his name would go down in history!

After realizing that Liu Sheng didn't really care about the prophecy, Song Xiance decided to show some real skills.

He thought for a while and further probed: "Does the leader want to use the word 'Hua' to build a country in the future?"

"good."

Liu Sheng nodded - they all rebelled, there is nothing to hide.

Song Xiance thought for a while and then said: "Chief, in fact, the word 'Hua' also has a variant of the word 'Hua' that starts with a native word, which is called '崋' (four tones).

Its meaning is the same as the word "华", but it is more in line with the change of the five elements in the national destiny than "华" with the prefix "华". "

Liu Sheng also understood the theory of the replacement of the five elements in the national destiny.

For example, if Qin is in the north, it is black, which is the virtue of water; if Chu is in the south, it is red, which is the virtue of fire.

The people of Chu defeated Qin, and Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, so he used his water virtues to extinguish fire and inherited Qin's water virtues.

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to change it to Tu De, and Wang Mang's new dynasty also wanted to recognize Tu De. When the Eastern Han Dynasty was established, in order to distinguish it from the Western Han Dynasty, Mu De was recognized.

Let’s talk about the last three dynasties that Liu Sheng knew.

Meng Yuan was originally affiliated with Jin, and was considered to belong to Jin De, and destroyed Song Dynasty with Mu De.

The Ming Dynasty came from the south and destroyed the Yuan Dynasty with fire, virtue, and gold. Historically, the Qing Dynasty recognized the virtue of water, and the virtue of suppressing fire destroyed the Ming Dynasty.

The theory of the Five Elements seems to be sound and logical, but in fact it is a mess, and few rulers really believe in it. Most of them use it to promote their own legitimacy.

Liu Sheng considered that the people's wisdom was not yet enlightened, and the theory of the Five Elements National Destiny did have some propaganda effect, and he had even listened to the prophecies, so he didn't mind listening to Song Xiance talk about it again.

I saw Song Xiance holding his fingers and saying: "It is certain that the Ming Dynasty is the virtue of fire. Fire overcomes wood and generates earth, so the virtue of earth can inherit the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, I also heard that Huang Taiji, a slave outside the Pass, had founded a country and proclaimed himself emperor. The pseudo-country name was "Qing", which was obviously Shui De.

The Chinese character Mu De was born from the virtue of water, and it is unknown after the virtue of water. However, the virtue of earth can directly overcome the virtue of water. It is obvious which one is better and which one is worse.

Therefore, I believe that the Chinese prefix "崋比华" (second tone) is more suitable for the future name of the rebel army. "

Liu Sheng laughed after hearing this, "Mr. Song's words indeed make sense."

He does think that the word "崋" is better - it can be used to avoid the river crab master on the Internet for future generations.

Through this incident, Liu Sheng felt that Song Xiance may not have great talent, but he did have some quick wit and insight.

Moreover, this person did come up with several useful strategies for Li Zicheng in history, and could barely be considered a staff-type talent.

In addition, he was extremely short of men, so he was ready to take this one on.

So he said: "I will open a government office and appoint myself as generalissimo. It happens that the subordinate military affairs hall is still short of a counselor. Mr. Song is willing to take this position."

Song Xiance was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly bowed deeply and said: "Greetings to the commander-in-chief!"

"Hahaha!"

Liu Sheng laughed happily - this was the first time someone called him Marshal. Don't tell me, it felt pretty good.

···

November 30th.

Liu Sheng officially opened a government office and appointed himself "Generalissimo of Henan and Chu Xinghua".

On the day of the founding of the government, in order to facilitate the reward and promotion of soldiers who had made meritorious service in previous battles, and to further standardize the army, Liu Sheng introduced a military rank system.

It almost copied the mature military rank system of later generations.

The ranks of soldiers are: private, private, corporal, sergeant, and staff sergeant.

The middle-level officers are: second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel and senior colonel.
