Smoke rolled, and several fast horses galloped past in front of them. The two of them wore bamboo hats and lowered their heads slightly. They slowly looked up after the riders disappeared. Not far away, countless camp tents were like mountains, flags fluttering better than clouds, and there were continuous shadows of armored soldiers and horses swimming back and forth. There was the endless camp of rebels.
"Brother Xue, how many soldiers did the village draw this time?" Yang Zhaofeng, who was exhausted, dusted off the dust on his shoulders, squinted at the thin man beside the consultant around him.
"This time, with the order from King Xinshun, even Li Dazhang Panzi was dispatched in person. Do you think my village can be less soldiers?" The thin man smiled, and the burning marks on his face wrinkled, adding to the terror. "Yu Dazhong has three thousand people, Zhou Ruli has three thousand people, Ji Zhiying has three thousand people, and I, Xue Zhuang, and the central army, Li Dazhang Panzi has turned the imperial camp to the bottom. A total of ten thousand main elite soldiers have been dispatched."
In May of the 16th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, the "King of Xinshun" in Xuzhou, met the army in Xuzhou. Only the five battalions, left, right, front and back, had 130,000 troops. In addition, the local gangs like Li Jiyu who were entrenched in various places were dependent on each other, and the total number was probably nearly 200,000. Although the exact number was not clear, Yang Zhaofeng heard of the sensational rumors of "the crowd reached 500,000" on the way to Xuzhou on the way to Xuzhou. In short, there must be 160,000 to 170,000 people.
Yang Zhaofeng was ordered by Zhao Dangshi Army. Three times, he set out from Fanhe City and took his companions to Dengfeng County to pay homage to Li Jiyu. Unexpectedly, he was out of nowhere. He learned that Li Jiyu had led his army to Xuzhou, so he went to the military camp outside Xuzhou City at night. Although he could not find Li Jiyu, he followed the banner and found Xue Zhuo, who claimed to be the leader of the imperial village. After communicating the secret code, he followed him to find Li Jiyu.
"Where is the plate of Li Dazhang?"
Xue Zhaoying said, "Brother Yang is anxious, so don't worry. Now King Xinshun is about to convene a military discussion. I have to escort Li Dazhang to the army tent in the camp. You can also listen to it."
Yang Zhaofeng nodded and said, "That's what it means."
The two passed through several deep ditches and high bases outside the camp, and arrived at a postcard. The general guarding the card was domineering and ordered the soldiers of the trespassing troops to search the other battalions, without letting them go. Yang Zhaofeng said intimately: "Will they still need such strict inspections when they serve as King Xinshun?"
Xue Qiao sneered, "I finally got a job with good fortune, how can I not work hard? King Xinshun said that he would rob the rich and help the poor, recover the stolen money and help the money. Whenever the generals of the rebel army were on the turn of guarding the card, they would have to take out this sentence and chew it over and over again." As he spoke, he saw that the few people in front of him had found things for the rebel army, ranging from a few copper plates to a large number of hairpins and jewelry, and were confiscated, which was called "the army's payment". Those people did not dare to argue, and could only think that they were unlucky and were let go with a dejected look.
Yang Zhaofeng took a look at the general of the rebel army who was shouting and shouting. He was shocked and quickly lowered his head and compacted the bamboo hat. Xue Zhuo saw something wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Zhaofeng replied: "This person is Zhou Fengwu, the general of Zuo Liang Yuying, and I have met him. If he sees me, he may not be exposed." As he said that, he looked back and said, he wanted to retreat.
Xue Zhuo frowned and patted his shoulder gently, saying, "It's okay, leave it to me Lao Xue." After that, he stepped forward.
Zhou Fengwu obviously knew Xue Zhuo, glanced at him, left his head, and snorted coldly and ordered the soldiers around him, "Search."
Xue picked up his hand and stopped him, and laughed and said, "Brother Zhou has forgotten so much, why don't he recognize me anymore? Didn't he even have a drink with the same table yesterday?" After saying this, the soldiers of the rebel army who were about to reach out did he hesitate.
"What are you doing? I won't search for it!" Zhou Fengwu just pretended that he didn't hear it, and looked up at the nostrils.
"Don't, no matter how many of you, I will do it myself." Xue Qiao smiled and began to grop in front of Zhou Fengwu.
Zhou Fengwu looked at her eyes squinted. Seeing Xue Bao touching her abdomen before, then touching her pants into her crotch. She rubbed her hard for several times. She couldn't help but show her contempt and cursed: "What are you doing when you are slow? You have to tie it to that. Take off your pants and untied it. If you can't untickle it, I'll give you a knife and be clean and neat."
"Here's here!" Xue Baowei responded with a smile, suddenly shouted "Go", took out his hand, and a white silver ingot was held in his hand.
"This..." Zhou Fengwu's eyes lit up, but her face was full of disgust.
"Hehe, the world is in chaos, Lao Xue has to hide it strictly for this little capital. Brother Zhou, don't dislike it." Xue Zhuan said while handing Yin Ying over.
Several soldiers from the Break Army were about to pick them up, but Xue Zhuan was halfway through, and suddenly took Yin Ying back.
Zhou Fengwu felt that she was mocked and furious. She sternly said, "Dog bastards are looking for death?" As she said that, her eyes were sharp and she looked around, almost immediately asking the soldiers to rob them.
Xue Zhuan was agile, jumped back, and closed Yin Ying with both hands and said repeatedly: "Brother Zhou misunderstood. Old Xue suddenly thought that Yin Ying was good, but when he gave it to Brother Zhou, he harmed Brother Zhou."
"You let it go, bring it!" Zhou Fengwu grinned at the moment when he heard his argument.
Xue Bao was not panicked, so he raised the silver high and said, "'The generals and soldiers who have got the gold are white, and those who have kept it privately will be killed without being favored.', Xinshun Wang Junzhi, did Brother Zhou forget the military discipline? Or... Hehe, King Xinshun has something to do with Brother Zhou, and he will forgive me?"
After Li Zicheng called himself "King Xinshun" to establish a regime, he immediately began to purify military discipline. First, the patrol was strict, and fugitives were called "destroying grass" and sentenced to burials; second, only elite soldiers in the camp could take one wife with the army, and follow ten people to feed horses, provide military weapons and cook. No other women should be brought, and those who violated the crimes should be whipped. If they had children but were not raised, they would be punished by sticks; third, they should not invade the houses of the houses when passing through cities and towns. They must set up camps or set up temporary shacks in the countryside, otherwise they would be deprived of their positions in the army and be punished with seclusion; fourth, those who were generals and soldiers who had white gold and kept privately, should be killed immediately and not favored.
Military discipline was established, and the original intention was to punish illegal people and establish the image of the rebel army pleading for the people. Li Zicheng listened to Zuo Funiu Jinxing's suggestion of "fighting up and down", and specifically stated that if a high-ranking officer knew that he would be punished first, he would be given a higher level of crime. Although Zhou Fengwu was a surrendered general, he was named General Guoyi by Li Zicheng, and his status was really good. He usually made some small money, of course no one cared about him, but if he ransomed large ingots of gold, silver and jewelry, and asked his enemies to stab Li Zicheng, he might be arrested as a typical example for Li Zicheng, who was eager to establish his authority and prove the strict military discipline. Moreover, Xue Bao did not belong to the direct lineage of the rebel army, but to the imperial camp that was dependent on the rebel army. Li Zicheng tried his best to win people's hearts, and would not let Zhou Fengwu, who knew the law and violated the law, bullied the people in the imperial camp, which damaged his image of Zhou Gong's spitting and losing the hearts of the public.
"You guy..." Zhou Fengwu stared at the bright silver jewel held by Xue Zhuo's hands, and it was hard to declare his anger. Silver jewels are commonly known as "pig waist silver". This thing is rarely seen in ordinary people. Because the two are too large, they are mostly used in governments. The court reconciliation is the bottom of the accounts and tribute. Xue Zhuo got this silver jewel from somewhere. It must be not to take it away to spend it. It is impossible to make up the idea early in the morning to deal with the current situation.
"Master Zhou, what should I do..." The soldiers in dilemma cast their eyes on Zhou Fengwu asking for instructions.
"Let me go." Zhou Fengwu thought for a while, and looked at Yin Yingyin swallowing, and finally could weigh the importance. He glared at Xue Zhuan twice and waved his hand slightly.
"Where are the others?"
Zhou Fengwu cursed angrily: "What else can't afford him? I want to kill my life for three or two small money?"
When the soldiers of the rebel army heard this, they kept saying a word and hurriedly dodged the path.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou, for your righteousness!" Xue Zhuo smiled and made a funny bow, and greeted him backwards repeatedly, "General Zhou is released, but he is not raising his legs and feet, come up quickly!"
Yang Zhaofeng mingled among several soldiers from the Imperial Village, lowered his head and walked quickly. But when he approached Zhou Fengwu, he felt that the other party's eyes were facing him in a daze. He couldn't help but feel his heart tightened. He held the edge of the hat with his hand, just waiting to get the flash. Unexpectedly, Zhou Fengwu's voice suddenly came: "Wait, why do I look at this person... I look a little familiar?"
"Brother Zhou is joking. There are thousands of people in the world. It is normal for someone who looks similar." Yang Zhaofeng stood there, lowering his head and silent. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xue Zhuo immediately dealt with him.
"No, no..." Zhou Fengwu murmured, wanting Yang Zhaofeng to look up and question a few times. At this time, a few steps outside the horses neighed, and more than ten riders arrived.
"Haha, Lao Xue, are you talking about the past with General Zhou?"
Everyone looked in the sound and the leader was the mighty and powerful. It was Li Jiyu, the big palm of the imperial village. He smiled and raised his whip and said, "President Zhou, don't be surprised. Lao Xue and these are my personal guardians. I am waiting for them to accompany them to the Central Army tent. The three-way drum outside the tent have been beaten. King Xinshun is anxious to wait, so we can't afford to delay."
Li Jiyu had a high status, but now he was talking about Li Zicheng again. Zhou Fengwu couldn't help but give him face. He coughed twice, but he was too lazy to worry, and nodded and put his hands on his back.
Yang Zhaofeng, Xue Qiao and others met with Li Jiyu. After a distance, Li Jiyu asked, "What happened just now?"
Xue Chao told the truth and asked: "There are also many generals of the Central Army's tent. Is it appropriate for Brother Yang to go?"
Li Jiyu said: "It's okay, this military convention is quite large. Except for temporary duty officers, all the mighty generals of the rebel army must participate, and there are a lot of people. I expect that Brother Yang will cover up this scene with a little cover, no one will pay attention to it."
After the rebel army was divided into five battalions, Li Zicheng restructured the military system. Under the first battalion, there were military positions such as General, General Guoyi, General Guowu, General, Chief Commander, and Chief Commander. There were also low-level positions such as General and Chief Commander of the Brigade. The rebel army had a complicated organization, and compared with the number of Chief Commander of the Niu Mao, General of the Brigade, and General of the Majesty, and General of the Majesty, and General of the Majesty, which were more than a magnificent and the number of generals and above was not too many, but there were at least dozens of people. Li Zicheng called so many officers to open a military discussion at one time, which shows that this military discussion must have special significance.
"There is a rumor on Li Dazhang's plate. What do King Xinshun want to say?" Yang Zhaofeng asked.
"It should be a first-class big thing, and some local trivial matters, King Xinshun had sent someone to order." Li Jiyu replied in a frown. As the leader of Henan's local gangs, Li Zicheng had sent orders to Li Jiyu before, asking him to be responsible for integrating the remaining local gangs and divisions of the camps and divisions that had swarmed together - the official army. The rebel army attacked year after year, and the devastated Henan has successively raised many troops in recent years, such as Li Hao, Wu San, Zhai Rong, Sun Xueli, Zhou Jiali, Zhou Daoxuan, Xu Liangchen, Jin Gao, etc., all of them hibernate the mountain villages, and the Tumen's mission is to be trusted. The rebel army now boasts of regular troops. The main enemy they want to deal with is the official army. He is unwilling to distract his energy and is only consuming food and fodder to play hide-and-seek with countless local gangs.
"I know." Yang Zhaofeng nodded secretly, stopped talking, and continued to mingle in Li Jiyu's entourage.
Soon, the sound of the trumpets became louder and louder with the distance. The number of generals of the rebel army in various outfits also increased significantly. Some of them were wearing strong and stern stern clothes, and some were lightly dressed in different shapes, gathering from all directions until they became a vast abortion.
At the end of the crowd, the intersecting axes and halberds are the trembling tent of the army's central army.
