Chapter 476 According to Wanluo, dominate Zhongzhou and fight for the world?
On December [-]th, in the afternoon, the city of Luoyang was very lively, and people seemed to have come out of the looting disaster after the city was broken.

Although the wedding banquet between Li Yan and Hong Niangzi was not luxurious, it was rich enough. But after all, it was also in wartime, so it was normal to be lively and festive, but everyone did not dare to drink too much.

Even the bridal chamber didn't make trouble, a group of female guests just dragged Li Yan and the red lady to drink a cup of wine, then let them go, continued to have a banquet, and then dispersed.

Li Yan also did not go back to the bridal chamber to meet the lady-in-waiting. Instead, after the banquet was over, he led a few horse guards to the Zhougong Temple in the west of Luoyang City.

The red lady just changed into the gorgeous attire she wore as a bride in the bridal chamber, and then she received a message from Li Shuangxi, the adopted son of Chuang Wang, saying that she is newly married today, and if she doesn't want to go to Zhougong Temple to participate in the discussion, she can rest early.

King Chuang was afraid that the red lady would be embarrassed to meet the generals because she just married today, so he sent Li Shuangxi to greet her, but how could the red lady be such a small-faced person.

She quickly changed into a military uniform, walked out quickly with a group of heroic and healthy women, rode out of Luoyang City, and headed straight for Zhougong Temple.

…………

Chuangwang Li Zicheng's meeting hall in Zhougong Temple is the living room where the temple priests received the former Luoyang officials and gentry. The furnishings here are elegant, but today it is full of Chuangjun generals who came to participate in the discussion.

Li Zicheng's wife, Gao Guiying, was originally the niece of the old Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang. She was also a person of high status in the Chuang army. military meeting.

In the meeting hall, Chuang Wang Li Zicheng first gave everyone a brief account of the situation since the capture of Luoyang.

In particular, he pointed out that Mr. Li Yan has always been fully responsible for the relief of the hungry people. Currently, he has assisted 20 million people. For the widowed, widowed, lonely, alone, old, weak, sick, and disabled, he has given extra money. some relief.

Stimulated by the public trial, the beheading of King Fu and the officials, and the good reputation brought by the relief of the hungry, the people inside and outside Luoyang City were very enthusiastic to join the bandit army.

After careful selection, as many as 9 to 30 people have been recruited so far. According to his estimation, his team may be expanded to [-] to [-] people during his assault on the land of Zhongzhou, Henan.

In addition, Li Zicheng also shared some news about the present thief Zhang Xianzhong and the Cao thief Luo Rucai in Sichuan.

Then he went on to say: "Our future strategy, when I was in Deshengzhai, I discussed several times with Mr. Niu, Song Junshi, and our chief sentry Master Liu and Uncle Gao. A score, but it hasn't been fully settled yet.

The situation is not static, on the contrary, it is changing all the time, so today I invite everyone to gather together to discuss and determine the way forward first, so we can take a step forward.

It was still in Deshengzhai when Mr. Li joined our army. His suggestion was to first occupy Youwan and Luo, sweep the Central Plains, and then take the land of the Central Plains as a base to seize the world.

Mr. Niu and Song Junshi also agree with this suggestion. The three of them are all learned people. They have learned a lot about the present and the past, and they have expressed many important truths. After a while, they will also tell you those great truths. listen.

Earlier, Mr. Niu suggested that I establish a new name after the destruction of Luoyang City, so that I can call on the people all over the world. In the past few days since we destroyed Luoyang City, many hungry people and their elders have come to walk every day. Ask me to establish the capital in Luoyang and become king.

These poor people saw that we behaved very differently from the dog officials of the imperial court, so they supported us so enthusiastically. Mr. Niu met them every day on my behalf, and also received many letters urging me to build a capital here and call myself king. chapter.

The soldiers in our army have been discussing it these days. You are all aware of this situation. This is a very important matter. How should we make a decision? Please express your opinions and discuss it.

Now let Mr. Li, Mr. Niu and the military adviser talk about it first. "

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, he turned his head to the three of them, gestured with his eyes, and waited for them to speak with a smile.

Li Yan and Song Xiance still looked at Niu Jinxing as always, and asked him to express their opinions on behalf of the three.

Niu Jinxing did not refuse. He quoted the past to discuss the present, and talked eloquently, first starting with occupying Youwan and Luo to collect the Central Plains, and then talking about the principle of occupying the Central Plains to fight for the world.

He then talked about the establishment of a name. Niu Jinxing believed that the time had come for King Chuang to establish his capital in Luoyang and honor him as King, and he must not miss it. Lived up to the ardent expectations of the father and the people.

Niu Jinxing quoted scriptures and classics, not only very reasonable, but also easy to understand, and even more pleasant to listen to. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately started talking about it.

At this time, when Li Zicheng and a group of old people from Shaanxi came out of the trough after the fiasco of Tongguanyuan, they have been going smoothly since they moved to the west of Henan.

In a few months, he fought for hundreds of miles, broke through nearly a hundred villages and forts, from Nanyang Mansion to Henan Mansion, and now he has conquered Luoyang City in one fell swoop. The army also expanded to nearly 20.

It cannot be said that the Chuangjun generals have been dazzled by the victory, but the current situation is indeed very good. Everyone is very excited in the victory situation, so their speeches are also positive and enthusiastic.

Many generals who participated in the discussion agreed to combine the proposals of Li Yan and Niu Jinxing, that is, establish the capital in Luoyang City and become the king, use Wan and Luo as the bases, sweep the Central Plains, and then further seize the world.

Some people also suggested that we should quickly capture the entire Nanyang Mansion, unite Wan and Luo into one, and prepare for a big battle in Zhongzhou with Yang Sichang and other Ming armies who came to encircle and suppress them. After a big victory, we will discuss the matter of establishing the capital in Luoyang and becoming king.

There are also some old people in northern Shaanxi who advocate taking advantage of the victory to lead the army westward to Tongguan, first break through Xi'an, use Guanzhong as the base, establish Xi'an as the capital, and then compete for the world.

When the last opinion was put forward, it immediately got the support of many people, and they added various reasons in a hurry, and put forward a bunch of feasible suggestions.

Because, among the generals who came to participate in the discussion today, except for a few people such as Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and Li Yan, almost all of them were old people from Shaanxi who had followed Li Zicheng earlier.

They have a special emotional foundation for their hometown in Shaanxi, and they all know that Xi'an is a treasured place where the capital has been established in the past dynasties, and they are familiar with how people have praised Guanzhong as a beautiful place since ancient times, and it is the most suitable place to build a capital.

After a long period of debate, in the end, the idea of ​​first establishing the capital in Luoyang and becoming the king temporarily prevailed.

It's just that there are still some differences about whether to further manage Wan and Luo after establishing the capital Luoyang as the king, or to fight back to Shaanxi to seize Xi'an, but everyone agrees with Li Zicheng's establishment of the capital as the king.

Previously, everyone ran and plundered all the way, thinking most about how to get rid of the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, how to survive, and how to have fun. No one thought about building a capital and becoming a king, and competing for the great cause of the world.

But since Li Yan put forward the idea of ​​"according to Wan and Luo, dominate Zhongzhou, and fight for the world", coupled with the influence of Song Xiance's prophecy that "eighteen sons should be the master artifact".

All the generals in the Chuang army have the ambition to protect the Chuang king and conquer the country. They hope that the Chuang king will become the king and emperor as soon as possible.

Li Zicheng sat firmly on it, with a smile on his face all the time, but he didn't say a word. He just watched the debate among the generals in the conference hall, making it impossible to guess what was going on in his heart.

In addition, the chief sentinel Liu Zongmin, Gao Yigong and other important generals did not say a word, and Li Yan, like them, never participated in the debate.
