Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Surrounded by Chinese soldiers such as Li Shuangxi and Wu Ruyi, Li Zicheng's spirit was also very relaxed.

Zhang Xianzhong raised the flag again, and his heart was relieved.

Originally hidden in the depths of Shangluo Mountain, there was always pressure from the Ming army in Shangzhou and Wuguan. Ding Qirui was reminded by Hong Chengchou and kept staring at him. However, Li Zicheng had no way to get rid of the pressure put on him by Shaanxi officers and soldiers.

Over the past year, from tens of thousands of people to only a few hundred at the least, to slowly gathering the remaining soldiers and horses, rebuilding the old battalion, and getting hundreds of horses and soldiers from the fifth battalion of Gezuo. The signboard of the camp was finally able to be polished again.

He has already made an appointment with Xiying to accept the supplies of war horses and food, and then he will do a big job together, and the next thing will be discussed in half a year. [

His ultimate goal is still Henan!

"Where is Buzhi? Call Buzhi! By the way, there are Zongshao, Han Ju, and Yufeng, all of them are called here."

"Yes, King Chuang, I'll call."

Li Guo was also an important general who entered the camp. This nephew of Li Zicheng was bold and cautious. He was brave in battle but also very calm.

The rest of the generals are also Li Zicheng's confidantes and direct descendants, especially Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu.

Tian Jianxiu's style of fighting is calm, and in the army, he is famous for his bodhisattva heart. He has no airs, doesn't wear brocade clothes, doesn't try to preach, and doesn't like women. He has the temperament of an old monk.

Therefore, he is highly respected in the army, and his status is not inferior to Liu Zongmin.

Although Li Zicheng is now known as Chuang Wang, he is not actually Gao Yingxiang's direct descendant. He is in charge of the plate as soon as he enters the rebel army, and he is unique. His Mizhi Li family is not Han, but Dangxiang Li. His branch is the descendant of the serious Li Jiqian He is also the direct descendant of Li Yuanhao. The children in the Li family village are either frontier soldiers or postmen. They can ride horses, can shoot arrows since they were young, can draw strong bows, and dance with long spears. A rebellion, with the people in Lijiazhai and the friends he made, Li Zicheng became the leader of a team, and then he called himself Chuang Jiang. Although it has the same meaning as Gao Yingxiang's Chuang Wang, it is actually just another title , It is the same thing as the title of sweeping king and leveling king.

His long career in the army and his status as a leader gave Li Zicheng a majesty that is difficult for ordinary people to match. This kind of majesty and temperament can be seen in many peasant army leaders who are leaders, but in Li Zicheng, there is something that is difficult for ordinary people to match. Something to be admired and admired.

In his early years, he also had concubines, played with women, and liked to drink.But after a few years of wandering, Li Zicheng's thoughts came alive when he saw that the Ming court was becoming more and more unreasonable day by day, and it looked like it was going to slip away.

A vague thing began to appear in his heart. Things that he had never thought about and dared not think about before slowly took root in his heart, and it was difficult to disappear.

In the most difficult days, when Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai surrendered, and the Gezuo Fifth Battalion had an ambiguous attitude, Li Zicheng was able to grit his teeth and refuse to surrender, relying on this persistence in his heart.

Because of this kind of hope and persistence, he gradually got rid of the poor brothers who made a living together in the past. He started not to drink alcohol, at least he did not drink too much. There are very few rebel leaders who do not like alcohol. When they came out, they were all so miserable that they could not survive Going on, holding the idea that one day is one day, one day is one day, and few people think that they can shake the Ming Dynasty, so the military discipline of the rebel army is extremely bad, killing and plundering people is to strengthen the team, alcoholic women are comforting Feeling terrified.

When they were in Fengyang, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong turned their faces because of a group of advocacy musicians. Both of them drank alcohol and competed for drum music. No matter who got it later, a rift arose.After Li Zicheng got drunk, he grabbed Zhang Xianzhong's collar and said a lot of disrespectful words, but Zhang Xianzhong seemed rough and bold, but in fact he was vicious and mean, and it was difficult to let go of his offense to Li Zicheng.

Afterwards, the alliances of the various families gradually dispersed, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong never joined hands again, Zhang Xianzhong cooperated with Luo Rucai, Luo Rucai cooperated with Li Zicheng, but Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng never stirred the same pot again.

Now at this moment, Chuangying and Xiying are finally going to join forces and fight a few serious battles.

"Chuang Wang!"

"Is there a replacement?"

The team was still marching quietly. Although there was no order to be quiet, the enemy situation was not as tense as it was when they retreated, but the soldiers consciously restrained themselves and the horses, and the entire marching line was very quiet. [

As soon as Li Guo came, he called out from a distance of more than ten steps away. Li Zicheng heard it very sincerely, greeted him with a smile, and then ordered: "You just walk by my side, I have something to ask you."

"Yes, there is no urgent military situation at this time, so I will follow the Chinese army."

While talking, a big man dressed similarly to Li Zicheng hurried over on a bay red horse, and shouted from a long distance, "Zicheng, what's the matter? I'm patrolling the old camp. Luo Hu The boy led the boy soldiers well, I praised him a lot, and before I said a few words, you have already sent someone to call."

His voice was loud and urgent, as if each one of them was clattering and crackling in mid-air, he didn't purposely yell when he spoke, but if he got closer, his ears would feel buzzing.

As for his stature, he was about the same size as Li Zicheng, a big man, but instead of a sword stuck in the belly of the horse, there was a long knife stuck diagonally.

His face was thin and bony, and his eyes shot out a terrifying light.

Under the gaze, except for a few generals, all the soldiers who entered the camp lowered their heads, not daring to look at this big man.

This is naturally Liu Zongmin, during the camp, sometimes he gets angry, and even Li Zicheng has to avoid it. Normally, Liu Zongmin remembers that Li Zicheng is the leader, suppresses his temper, obeys everything, and he has known him for many years The old friends are all from the same town as Mizhi, so although Liu Zongmin is unparalleled in prestige, Li Zicheng will always be the real boss and power holder in the camp.

Listening to his words, Li Zicheng just waved his hand, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything. Liu Zongmin knew that Li Zicheng had something to say, so he suppressed his impatience, took his horse, and leaned towards Li Zicheng and Li Guo.

But after a while, Tian Jianxiu and Yuan Zongdi rushed over and gathered together quietly.

They are all top generals in the battalion, like Liu Fangliang and Hao Yaoqi had to stand back, Liu Tichun and Wu Ruyi Xie Junyou waited.

After Gao Yigong caught up, he nodded to Li Zicheng, and when he also mixed in the team and rode slowly, Li Zicheng said to Li Guo in a deep voice: "Recently, we are going to cut off contact with Laiwu. Will something go wrong?"

After setting up an approximate location for joining forces with Zhang Xianzhong, almost the whole army was mobilized in Chuangying, and the arrangement on the Shandong side could not be used for the time being, and of course the contact was cut off.

Li Zicheng nodded, and said again: "Today, Yang Sichang will be ordered to go south after receiving the freshly copied Tang newspaper. Please transfer Denglai Town's deputy commander Zhang Shouren to lead the battalion south. This man, we have been with him in Laiwu for a while. Having dealt with each other, the more I think about it, the more I can't settle down... To make up for it, let me tell you."

"Yes!" Li Guo agreed, but just frowned, unable to speak for a while.

He is Li Zicheng's nephew, and he was in the army at the beginning of the rebellion. He is not much younger than Li Zicheng, and he is already a general second only to Liu Zongmin in the army.

In terms of command, Liu Zongmin is brave and invincible during the camp, Liu Fangliang is good at training troops and is also good at finding opportunities on the battlefield, Tian Jianxiu is calm, but Li Guo is both brave and calm, and he dares to fight despite his rich experience. Dare to fight, the ability to catch fighters comes from innate ability, coupled with the status of Li Zicheng's nephew, he is loved and respected, and his personality is also bold and generous. Almost no one in the room has seen Li Guo like this .

Out of tacit understanding, everyone did not speak to urge, but just waited quietly.

"I just thought, when we were at our peak, we had 6 or 3000 soldiers, [-] soldiers and [-] cavalry after excluding women and children. Could the [-] cavalry that Zhang Shouren placed in Laiwu be able to beat our [-] cavalry at that time... "

"By the way, what do you say?"

Liu Zongmin waited according to his temper for a long time, but Li Guo said something like this, and immediately jumped up: "The one we admire most is Cao Wenzhao from Liao Town. His nephew Cao Bianjiao is also a man. The soldiers they lead It can be regarded as a strong soldier, with a lot of armor, everyone has cotton armor, and there are many iron leaf-lined ones. There are also serious iron armors, and there are many horses. Thousands of people beat him thousands of times, but he lost his temper and died on the battlefield!"

"That's right, too many ants kill elephants." Yuan Zongdi shook his head and smiled, "I guess you're joking with us, three thousand is against him four hundred, it's too much wear and tear, don't say you command, I'll go, also the same."[

Tian Jianxiu was steady and didn't want to speak out rashly. Gao Yigong was in charge of the old battalion and foreign affairs, he seldom talked about military affairs, and he kept smiling.Only Li Zicheng looked thoughtfully at Li Guo and said, "Tell me carefully."

"Han Ju said, we have 400 cavalry, [-] horses. There are good and bad. Some brothers ride on draft horses. They can't run, but they usually do well. The Benlei camp in Laiwu, [-] Most of them are [-] war horses, all of which were bought from other places. Many of them are tall and well-raised horses. They are fat and strong. Our horses, for example, are not as good as others. It’s a waste of time, always walking, and I don’t have the time to take turns stocking long fat, hedging on the battlefield, people speed up, we are still grinding on the spot... how to fight this battle?”
