Of course Luo Rucai is unreliable!
But Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong who looked at Luo Rucai are now reliable. They are all relatives of Zhu Yuanzhang, and they have all become commander-in-chief and staff generals. Their wealth is clean and they have never been thieves.
In addition, neither of them has their own personal armed forces. The two of them were direct descendants of Zhu Youjian from the beginning. They were Zhu Youjian's "emperor's servants" from a young age, and they had always served as officials in the military systems in front of the army. Even though Li Zicheng was transferred to Guyuan General Army, he did so with the mission of transforming Guyuan Town and turning it into an army in front of the tent.
Therefore, it is impossible for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to rebel, and it is even less possible for them to leave the good Lord Ming Dynasty (Li Zicheng was granted the title of Viscount) inappropriately and go to the Dabie Mountains to become robbers.
With Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong leading their troops, Luo Rucai certainly didn't dare to rebel anymore. Not only did he not dare to rebel, he didn't even dare to pretend to be a king.
"Long live Lord, this is dedicated to you by Luo Rucai, Gao Yigong, Lin Chengcheng, He Yilong, He Jin and others..."
When Li Zicheng was speaking, he had already unfolded a large red flag in front of Zhu Youjian. In the center of the red flag was the word "Chuang" embroidered with black thread.
"Give it to me?" Zhu Youjian looked at the big banner with the word "Chuang" with a complicated expression, "Luo Rucai, don't you want to experience the addiction of Chuang King? Of the five Chuang generals on the Dabie Mountains, he is the leader, right?"
Li Zicheng laughed and said: "Long live the Lord, you are joking. How can he dare to be the king of Chuang? Although he is not really the king of Chuang, he can't bear a false name!"
"What about the other four generals?" Zhu You asked, "They don't want to go further?"
Li Zicheng shook his head repeatedly, "Gao Yigong, Lin Yangcheng, He Yilong, and He Jin are even more afraid to bear this title. They only think about killing people and setting fires and being recruited. They were paid high salaries before. It is a last resort to be coerced into joining the bandits on Liupan Mountain. Now that they have obtained official positions and are already members of the Jinyiwei, they only know their allegiance, so how can they be willing to touch the word "Chuang"? Besides, the title of King Chuang, They really can’t bear it, even if it’s fake, it will shorten their lifespan greatly.”
It turns out that Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang has died a heroic sacrifice!
When he was in Liupan Mountain, he died in the rebel army!
However, the intruders on Liupan Mountain were not wiped out. Instead, they were controlled by Luo Rucai, Gao Yigong, Lin Chengcheng, He Yilong, and He Jin. They still used the banner of King Chuang to fight all the way from Liupan Mountain. They fled to the Dabie Mountains.
However, none of the five of them are the real second-generation King of Chuang, because there is one person above the five of them, and he is the real King of Chuang!
And the person above Luo Rucai, Gao Yigong, Lin Chengcheng, He Yilong, and He Jin is of course the Emperor of Heaven, Zhu Youjian.
"Yes!" Zhu Youjian nodded, "They can't afford it...but I can afford it! Their five generals are now my subordinates, and millions of hungry people in Shaanxi and Henan are pointing at me. To survive... So I am the real King of Chuang! King of Chuang Zhu Youjian! Li Zicheng, do you think I look like King of Chuang?"
"Like, no, you are King Chuang!" Li Zicheng said with a smile, "Emperor Taizu Gao was born among the hungry people. With his talent and courage, he led the rebel army, won every battle, and conquered the world of the Yuan Dynasty. Your Majesty... His old man is the real King of Chuang! Gao Yingxiang and his ilk are just bandits, how dare they arrogantly claim the title of King? In the whole world, only Your Majesty can hold the title of King of Chuang! "
I started out in abject poverty and had nothing, so I dared to venture and fight! Since ancient times in China, only Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang have really made their way from humble beginnings to dominating the world.
And Liu Bang was still a pavilion chief, much better than Zhu Yuanzhang, a beggar monk. Therefore, the "real king" of China is Zhu Yuanzhang!
Zhu Youjian nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, then I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Great Khan of Mongolia, and the King of Chuang Zhu Youjian!"
Three are short of one, and there is only one Dajin Dahan left to survive.
"Long live my lord," Li Zicheng smiled, "Then Chuang... on the Dabie Mountains will still be suppressed?"
He didn't dare to say "robber" anymore, otherwise he would be scolding the emperor!
"Of course the intruders still have to be suppressed!" Zhu Youjian said with a smile, "If we don't suppress the intruders, where will I collect the money? Li Zicheng, I'll turn you around and make you a thief general, specializing in dealing with the trespassers in the Dabie Mountains!"
Now, Zhu Youjian became the king of Chuang, and Li Zicheng became the Ming thief general who was responsible for the king of Chuang... The two of them became enemies again.
"Then, how are you going to suppress... suppress Chuang?" Li Zicheng still did not dare to say the word "thief".
"Of course we have lost the battle!" Zhu Youjian said, "We have to let the intruders divide their troops to cross the Yangtze River! Then let out a rumor that there are eight thousand thieves under the command of King Chuang, and they steal the tombs of big families, wherever they go. , dig mountains and dig graves, leaving nothing behind!"
The southeastern foothills of the Dabie Mountains are in Anqing Prefecture, not far from the Yangtze River. Once you cross the Yangtze River, you’ll find the Chizhou and Huizhou areas!
That’s the hometown of Hui merchants! And the Huizhou merchants are the financial backers of the Donglin Party... The ancestral graves of the financial backers have already been dug up. How can they not show off?
Zhu Youjian thought for a while and then said: "Send some troops to Fengyang... and let out the news that King Chuang is going to Fengyang to pay homage to the Mingzu Mausoleum!
Those old ministers of Jianwen in Nanjing were in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. Many of the guard posts in Fengyang were under the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. They had to resist King Chuang! "
"Okay, I'll do it now!" Li Zicheng said, but he thought in his heart: Does Fengyang's ancestral tomb belong to your family? You use your ancestral graves to blackmail the nobles of Nanjing... Isn't this too cruel? If Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, would he be angry?
...
Nanjing, outside the shop entrance, Jile Temple.
Because Zhu Youjian never crossed the Yangtze River, but went to Laoshan Palace to settle down. Therefore, the princes, senior officials and nobles who came to Puzikou to welcome him could not go back to Nanjing to rest, so they had to stay overnight at Jile Temple near Puzikou Town. Early the next morning, Zhu Xieyuan, Xu Yunzhen, Pang Tianshou, and a group of nobles from Nanjing City, as well as a bunch of wealthy princes, had just finished washing up and gathered together to have breakfast when the newspaper in front of the army in Dabie Mountain was delivered. .
Zhu Xieyuan, who was munching on a pair of big cakes and fried dough sticks, looked at the cavalryman who was sweating profusely and could smell the sour odor from a distance and was brought in by the people below. He frowned and asked: "How to send it to Jile Temple?" coming?"
"It's an urgent military report... It's urgent, so I heard at Puzikou Pier that Zhu Shangshu, Xu Shoubei and Eunuch Pang were all at Jile Temple, so I came over."
"What? It's urgent? Bring it to me quickly." Xu Yunzhen became nervous immediately, and quickly asked his servant to get the urgent military report. After unfolding it, he stood up immediately.
"My lord, what's wrong?" Zhu Xieyuan became nervous when he saw him like this.
Pang Tianshou was no longer in the mood to eat the vegetarian steamed buns from Ji Lok Temple, so he hurriedly asked: "My lord, have the thieves gone down to the Dabie Mountains?"
Xu Yunzhen nodded: "Oh no, no...the intruders went down the Dabie Mountains in two groups, crossed the Yangtze River all the way, and fled into Chizhou! The other way...went through Jingangtai Mountain and Dabie Mountain. Su Shan broke into Kaishun Town in Fengyang Prefecture!
And...it is said that these two thieves are good at digging graves. What kind of thieves are they? This, what should we do? "
At this time, the princes, nobles, and high-ranking officials from Nanjing City who were having breakfast suddenly exploded.
"We can't let the intruder get close to the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum!"
"That's right, we have to send troops to stop it immediately!"
"We can't ignore Chizhou... we can't let the intruders take over Chizhou and then approach Nanjing!"
"Zhu Bingbu, send troops quickly!"
"Zhu Bingbu, send troops to Chizhou!"
"Send troops to Fengyang..."
Zhu Xieyuan looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and sighed in his heart: How dare this group of people be so cowardly? The intruders are just going down the mountain to harass the place. They are afraid of this. If they really want to kill outside Nanjing, why don't they open the door to welcome surrender?
Thinking of this, he just coughed, and the noisy people around him immediately fell silent, and they all looked at this handsome minister who had made great achievements in Sichuan.
Zhu Xieyuan: "After we finish eating, let's go to Laoshan Palace together! As long as the Lord is here, the sky will not fall!"
