Daming kill

Chapter 243 Cumulative Effects

Although the girl's death is very infuriating, and if Yicang has no ability to seriously sue, it is estimated that there is a high probability that she will die unjustly and silently.

But that's not why Yone Cang wants to defect.

And the various atrocities and corrupt behaviors committed by the peasant army during the war that Mi Cang saw and heard with his own eyes were not the reason.

Of course, he was indeed a little disappointed, but he still felt that it was normal.

Yone Cang, who has seen some things in the world and has a lively mind, is not so innocent and naive.

If he was asked to make an evaluation, Micang still believes that the law and order in the areas controlled by the peasant army are far better than those controlled by the government, and that the peasant army is much stronger than the army and the government.

At least there is still room to sue about his sister's affairs, and the top officials of the Peasant Army are not protected by officials and are generally jealous.

In fact, the first real stimulus to Micang was that the Peasant Army appointed Zhang Liankui, a scholar he met in Yicheng who laughed even when his wife was humiliated, as the magistrate of Chengtian Mansion.

At this time, Mi Cang had not raised Xiangjing.

Seeing with his own eyes that Zhang Liankui actually became the magistrate of the new regime, Mi Cang found it both ridiculous and incomprehensible. He felt that Zhang Liankui was not worthy of carrying shoes for the former governor of Huguang, Song Yihe, and Xiao Han, the magistrate of Zhongxiang County, let alone comparable.

Although most of the officials in the government are not good, the leaders of Chengtian Mansion are still good, and they look like men.

In particular, Xiao Han, the magistrate of Zhongxiang County in Chengtian Prefecture, is said to have an excellent official voice, and the common people also praised him. Li Zicheng even detained the wounded and captured Xiao Han in a temple alone, using Guan Zhong as an example to try his best to persuade him to surrender, and issued an order The orders "whoever kills Xiao Han will die" and "If Xiao Han dies, kill all the monks in the temple".

But Xiao Han still took advantage of others and committed suicide.

Mi Cang also respects Xiao Han very much, he thinks that such a talent is what a parent should look like.

But he never expected that Li Zicheng, who had just made him look up to, changed hands and pushed Zhang Liankui to such an important throne as the head of a government.

What is Zhang Liankui?
What is the difference between Zhang Liankui's majestic administration and those generally detestable officials in the government?
Yonekura was very disappointed!

Then the greater stimulus to the rice warehouse came from the excavation of Xianling by the peasant army.

Micang felt that beating was beating and beating was beating, but digging people's ancestral graves was too indiscriminate and lost the bottom line, which he could not accept, and would be punished by God.

Sure enough, Zhang Liankui, who had just ascended to the sky and was eager to show his loyalty, not only rushed to the forefront when he did this, but also became the specific executor and organizer.

Perhaps out of worry or in order to ensure that they were determined, Micang and others who had defected from the army were also ordered by Li Zicheng to participate in the excavation.

This made Yoneko even more disgusting.

But this also allowed Mi Cang to witness Zhang Liankui being struck to death by lightning with his own eyes, and was even more shocked.

Because it will really be condemned by God!

However, as Mi Cang, who had already felt rippling in his heart, was transferred to Xiangjing and came into contact with the upper-level peasant army, what he saw, who was good at observing, was another upper-level organization of the peasant army that competed with each other and had strong regional exclusivity.

It is a closed group based on Shaanxi people and rural clans, with a strong sense of rural clan. Outsiders can't say that there is no such thing, but it is difficult to get close to and isolate them.

Those few outsiders who can also occupy high positions are either inextricably linked with this group, or they have formed a special friendship with Li Zicheng for a long time.

In this case, although local governments at all levels have been established, and although some famous literati have joined the government, these governments and those literati basically have no power at all, and all power is still concentrated in the hands of the original peasant army generals , concentrated in the hands of Shaanxi people.

Then, Li Zicheng killed Luo Rucai, who was also from Shaanxi, which made Micang even more disappointed.

How can such a person be worth following, and how can the team led by such a person be a group of good people who can kill even those who are kind to him.

Micang didn't believe that Luo Ru had objections at all.

As for Chen Sheng's accusation that some of the horses under Luo Rucai's department had the word "Zuo" branded on them as a reference to Zuo Liangyu, this is also nonsense in Micang's view.

Mi Cang knew Chen Sheng and met Chen Sheng. He was a man of great learning and eloquence, and he was highly appreciated by Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai.

In Mi Cang's view, Chen Sheng's report was nothing more than a false accusation.

But Li Zicheng still killed the defenseless Luo Rucai with a lame false accusation that even he could see.

It is absolutely certain that Luo Rucai has no dissent, otherwise it would be impossible for Li Zicheng to kill him in his own camp with only 20 people.

No matter how hard and simple Li Zicheng with such a character is, it is really hard for Micang to accept.

Moreover, Micang knew that there were certainly not a few people who held this view. After Luo Rucai's death, many of his subordinates were scattered ("Ming History Chronicles" volume 75) is the best proof.

Combined with all the shocking rumors that Li Zicheng's troops had heard in Henan and Shaanxi in the past, Mi Cang felt more and more that Li Zicheng's strict orders to be kind to the people were just a trick for him to achieve hegemony and deceive the people.

His sister's death was therefore unexpected, not unexpected.

However, this is not the reason why Yonekura wants to run away.

He still felt that no matter how bad the peasant army was, it was far better than the official army.Li Zicheng's purpose is not important to him, he and the little people pay more attention to the result.

But the seeds of disappointment and unwillingness to be foolish and loyal did germinate in his heart. Even if he was promoted to the post, it didn't diminish in the slightest, and finally triggered a series of consequences that he hadn't thought of at all.

In fact, even though he has some knowledge about some things, Mi Cang, who has always been at the bottom, is not so transparent. He is actually influenced by a person's subtle influence.

This person is one of the targets that Yicang needs to guard when he is the head of the guards in the military government.

Qiu Zhitao, the servant of the military government.

The cowardly and well-dressed young man who chose to live after the generous death of Yicheng's grandfather made Mi Cang look down upon him.

I don’t know if it’s the accumulation of disappointment with the Peasant Army. Once, Mi Cang accidentally bumped into Qiu Zhitao, who was secretly speaking against others, and then he didn’t understand why he chose to pretend to be deaf. make dumb.

Although frightened, Qiu Zhitao still noticed something strange about Mi Cang.

Soon afterwards, Qiu Zhitao continued to test Mi Cang through more and more bold remarks that seemed to be accidentally leaked.

Qiu Zhitao desperately needs allies and help, and he is still very unstable.

Anyway, I already have one, so I don't care about two and three. Yicang easily convinced himself to turn a blind eye to Qiu Zhitao's bad words.

He didn't know that this was actually the effect of something accumulating in his mind.

Qiu Zhitao, who was secretly happy in his heart, quickly began to try to win over Mi Cang.

But he was sternly rejected by Yonekura.

However, Qiu Zhitao didn't mind this, and let Mi Cang know that he was in contact with Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides of the Ming Dynasty.

Qiu Zhitao is not reconciled to being a thief. Although he is timid, he has always cared about Daming, and he is becoming stronger and stronger after going through a series of great changes.

Qiu Zhitao successfully contacted Sun Chuanting by secret letter.

In the letter, he stated that he was willing to be an internal response to the officers and soldiers, and conveyed wrong military information for Li Zicheng.

However, Yicang was shocked when he learned of this.

He was very pessimistic and worried about it.

The distance between Qiu Zhitao and Sun Chuanting was thousands of miles, and there was Li Zicheng's control area in the middle, so it was almost an impossible task to ensure that there were no accidents in the transmission of secret letters.

Yicang began to regret not reporting on Qiu Zhitao.

But after a painful entanglement, Yicang once again chose to remind Qiu Zhitao by mistake.

But Qiu Zhitao thought nonchalantly that Mi Cang was thinking too much, and of course he began to be more defensive towards Mi Cang.

Yicang felt that he must be crazy, and Qiu Zhitao was also crazy.

He realized he'd better run.

But resolutions are hard!

Until Sun Chuanting's reply letter arrived in Xiangyang.

In his reply, Sun Chuanting not only strongly affirmed Qiu Zhitao, but also bluntly stated that he had reported to the imperial court about his loyalty. The timeline of the army's march after leaving the customs and how Qiu Zhitao should strengthen contact with Sun Chuanting himself.

Of course Qiu Zhitao was overjoyed, but Micang looked gloomy.

This is too easy, the content of this letter is too explosive!

Qiu Zhitao was unreliable, and so was Grand Governor Sun Chuanting. He wrote all his battle plans in letters. This is really treating the peasant army as waste.

When he realized that no one sent by Qiu Zhitao was among the senders, they were all strangers, but Qiu Zhitao still didn't care and believed the sender's explanation easily. Hesitated.

He must go now.

Although he never participated in Qiu Zhitao's plan, nor did he appear to be too close to Qiu Zhitao.But it was only a matter of time before Qiu Zhitao had an accident, and it was only a matter of time before he was dug out or implicated. He couldn't take chances.

At this time, it happened that Li Zicheng was in a hurry to send someone to Wuchang, and Mi Cang was still on the list of recommended guards.

Because Mi Cang used to be an official army, and was once in Zhao Jin's army with Li Ping's army, the messenger needed to pass through Li Ping's control area safely, and also needed to find Zuo Liangyu safely and smoothly.

Yonekura decides to grab and take advantage of this opportunity.

He immediately went to the veteran who asked his name when digging the city wall in Yicheng to make sure he was on the final list.

And he not only needs to be able to walk by himself, but also needs to be able to take Old Man He with him.

Mi Cang was recommended to enter Xiangjing and was able to find Yuan Zongdi when he took revenge, thanks to this veteran who was left in Xiangyang to guard.

Before leaving Xiangyang, Micang learned that Qiu Zhitao had reported to Li Zicheng, who was on the front line in Henan, that he had received news that the officer Zuo Liangyu's unit planned to take this opportunity to attack Xiangyang from the east. The situation behind the army was urgent, and Li Zicheng was asked to send troops to help. .

Yone Cang instinctively rejoiced that he was leaving, and also rejoiced that he had never participated in Qiu Zhitao's plan and was an outsider after all.

Two days after arriving in Wuchang, it was a dark night with strong winds.

Suddenly there was the sound of a heavy object falling into the water beside an unremarkable boat on the Yangtze River, and then a shout of "Help! Help!" was heard in the water.

"It's old man He! I have to save him." Mi Cang, who was the first to rush out of the cabin to check, yelled and jumped into the rushing river without hesitation, and then the two disappeared forever. In the night.
