Today, I heard and witnessed it, which made Zhou Shixiang feel so similar in history. I remember that when the Kuomintang retreated to the mainland in later generations, it sent a large number of "special officers" and "special commissioners" to the mountains to make wishes for the bandits, and appointed this lieutenant general and the major general to attend the seat. Now the Southern Ming court also did such a thing, and the difference is only the different titles of official positions. Of course, there are also great differences in nature. Compared with the Kuomintang, the Southern Ming court's move was much higher.

Unfortunately, in history since ancient times, whether it is justice or not, there is no precedent for relying on bandits to accomplish things. The emperor of Yongli is confused and his officials are even more stupid. God knows what the officials in charge of this matter think!

Zhou Shixiang shook his head secretly. He was not going to get involved in this matter. After this incident, he said goodbye to Boss Hu and Duke Xiang of Song and went straight to Guangxi to join the Li Dingguo army. But then he thought that although Li Dingguo was a famous general and the Ming army adapted from his former Daxi Army was also strong in combat, he could not withstand that there was only one Li Dingguo in the world. The Yongli court was more stupid and incompetent, otherwise he would not have come up with an idea of ​​attracting and recruiting bandits!

Zhou Shixiang did not see the situation in other places with his own eyes, so he dared not determine it, but he still knew about the situation in Guangdong. Take the people of Xinhui for example. If the Qing army had not committed any evil in Xinhui, most of the people of Xinhui were focused on the Qing Dynasty rather than the Ming Dynasty. Zhou Xiucai, the former owner of the body, thought that he would participate in the imperial examinations of the Qing Dynasty when the situation in Guangdong stabilized.

The reason for this loss of human hearts is naturally related to the corruption of the Ming army's military discipline. The reason why the corruption of the Ming army's military discipline is not only due to the corruption of the Ming army itself, but it is probably related to the large-scale recruitment of bandits into the army, which leads to the inseparable relationship between fish and dragons in the army.

If a person loses his heart, how can this country not fall into the hands of the Tartars!

If all officials from the Southern Ming court were like officials who came up with this bad idea, then Li Dingguo would never be able to save Nan Ming. Thinking that Li Dingguo was ultimately unable to turn the tide in his previous life's memory, and the Emperor Yongli did not avoid Wu Sangui's bowstring after abandoning the country, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help but reconsider whether his decision to join the army in Guangxi was wise.

"I mean Brother Hu might as well accept the appointment of this General Luo Ding."

Boss Hu asked Zhou Shixiang what his intention was, but he did not hide it and told him bluntly that he wanted Boss Hu to get the position of General General of Luo Dingzhou of the Southern Ming Dynasty. As for whether Luo Dingzhou is from the Qing Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to worry about it.

"It is not necessary to deny that Brother Hu and his brothers are definitely doing something to become a bandit. Such behavior is by no means a long-term way. The world will not be in chaos. Whether it is Mingsheng or Qingsheng, the new dynasty government will always come to suppress it in the future. At that time, where will you go?"

Zhou Shixiang had no great reason to persuade him. What kind of family and country is not very touching to these men. Except for having an irreconcilable hatred with the Qing Dynasty, it is difficult for others to give up their heads and be enemies with the Qing army. Most of the men in front of him have already given up their hearts to the Yongli court of the Southern Ming Dynasty and have no hope. Even Boss Hu, who has a deep hatred with the Qing Dynasty, may be the same. Otherwise, why would he rather be a bandit than be a Ming army, serve the Yongli court, and avenge the old brothers?

Ge Wu became a habit of being a bandit and never thought about the future. After hearing Zhou Shixiang's words, he blurted out: "I have wine today and have fun today. What if he wants to do so far?"

Zhou Shixiang shook his head and said, "That's not what you said. You always have to consider it for the future. It's unpleasant. You are strong now. But after ten or twenty years, can you still do this business of robbing the family?"

Ge Wu rolled his eyelids and said indifferently: "When you can grab it, just grab it more, you will never starve to death when you are old."

Zhou Shixiang smiled and asked him back, "If the government army fights in the future, can you save the things you stolen?"

Ge Wu said without thinking, "Then wait until the official army fights."

Zhou Shixiang didn't expect that Ge Wu was so rough, and he was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Zhao Sihai couldn't help but say, "Scholar, you said so much, just to let Brother Hu be sealed by the general seal of the Laushizi, but do you think those people are so kind to be an official for us?"

Peng Dazhu also shouted from the side: "Yes, Brother Zhou, you don't know that this Yongli court is not easy to be an official, and they are not very good at it. In the hands of the Tatars, they asked our elder brother to be Luo Ding's general. Isn't this to reward people with other people's things? What's the matter?"

"Just this, it's not easy to be a general. You didn't hear the young man named Cheng say that as long as our elder brother becomes this general, he has to lead people to fight Luo Ding's Qing army. Otherwise, who would recognize you, Luo Ding's general?" A man in the room shouted.

"There are hundreds of green camp soldiers from the Qing army in Luoding City, but they are not something that we can defeat. The Cheng surname is to let us die. This business cannot be done!"

Ge Wu shouted, in his opinion, being a bandit is a businessman, and not being able to make a good fortune in the copycat, but instead holding his head to fight against the Qing army. Isn’t this a broken head?

Ge Liuyi always listened to Ge Wu. Ge Wu opposed it, so he naturally looked at it.

Duke Xiang of Song didn't say anything, but just pondered without saying anything. Boss Hu was moved by Zhou Shixiang's words just now, and thought about what he would become older in the future.

When Zhou Shi met Boss Hu, he was moved and advised: "Brother Hu, I think this may not be a whole bad thing. If you become the General Luo Ding, your brothers will have a serious background. With this seal of the General Luo Dingzhou, at least everyone will have a place to settle down in name, and the money and food in Luo Dingzhou belong to everyone."

Boss Hu sighed and smiled bitterly, "Luo Dingcheng is good, but we can't eat it just by greed. We can't see the money and food, and we can't touch it..."

After thinking about it, Zhou Shixiang said, "Would you like to attack Luo Dingcheng? Let's talk about it later. Now we will get the official body and seal first, and confirm the Luo Dings General."

"Isn't it authentic to take people's things and not do things for others?" Boss Hu hesitated.

Duke Xiang of Song spoke, and said, "Boss Hu, don't think that is useless. Those officials are allowed to fool us, so we are not allowed to fool them?"

"That's true!" After Duke Xiang of Song said this, Boss Hu was also happy and said with a smile: "It's good to cheat these turtle grandsons, just take it as compensation last year." He paused, looked at Peng Dazhu, Zhao Sihai and the others, and asked: "What do you think?"

Peng Dazhu scratched his head and thought for a long time, and said, "Brother Zhou and Mr. Song are both scholars. I have known since I was a child that scholars must know more about things than us and have more knowledge than us. Since Mr. Song and Brother Zhou said that this is capable of being a good person, he must be able to be a good person."

"I have no objection. As long as my brothers are not allowed to go to Luoding City to die, everything is easy to say." Zhao Sihai did not object to trick General Na Luoding from here.

The other men in the room also expressed their opinions in words, mostly supporting Boss Hu as the general Luo Ding. It seems that what Zhou Shixiang said played a role.

Seeing that everyone was not opposed, Boss Hu decided to settle the matter and got the official first before talking about it. He immediately asked someone to invite Cheng Bangjun over.

Zhou Shi was relieved when he met, but heard Duke Xiang of Song suddenly said in a daze: "It's not wrong to look at him for a long time. It's a good thing to have the official seal of Luo Ding General Luo's general, and maybe it can be used in the future..."

What was needed, but Duke Xiang of Song did not say anything more. Zhou Shixiang saw some of his unsatisfactory face and maliciously guessed that the "three-subscribed slave" might have thought that the Nanming was really over in the future, so he used the Nanming general seal to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and he could still get a clean official.
