Chapter 660 Liu Zongmin, it’s time to repay the kindness you owe our county.
Author: Taofu
Lantian First Army!
As a prominent figure in the Ming Dynasty, Liu Zongmin still has a certain understanding of the world. He knows how powerful and terrifying the Lantian First Army is. What is the Lantian First Army? That refers to the Lantian regular army, the super army guarding Tongguan. It is Li
The first regular army in Lantian led by Chaosheng's cousin Li Chaolong was also the army with the strongest weapons and equipment in Lantian.
Although Liu Zongmin is very arrogant, he is afraid of Lan Tian in his heart. The fear of Lan Tian in his heart is very great. When he was a bandit in Donggou Valley, it was not like he had never fought against Lan Tian.
But they all failed miserably, and there was a shadow in his heart, and he was also quite afraid of Lan Tian.
At that time, Li Chaosheng's men were not so powerful. At that time, they still used the most primitive broadswords and spears, and the most powerful one was the Yuanyang Formation. But now Lantian has completely entered the age of firearms, and the most powerful ones are their firearms.
.
Liu Zongmin was thinking about it, and fear already arose in his heart, but a person behind him said: "Commander, didn't you say that the Lantian Army never leaves Tongguan?"
When Liu Zongmin heard this, a flash of light suddenly flew out of his head. Yes, didn't it mean that the Lantian Army would not leave Tongguan?
Why did you suddenly end up here in Mianchi, Henan? What a coincidence. Is there something else going on here?
Thinking about it, Liu Zongmin looked at the man on the side and said: "Yes, the Lantian Army never left Tongguan. This must be a deception set up by Mr. Sun Chuanting to deceive himself.
Thinking of this, Liu Zongmin looked at the big flag in front of him and couldn't help but said: "It's fake, hahaha... Sun Chuanting, do you want to scare me? I also told you that I am not afraid of being grown up. Lan Tian
How about it, do you think that if you use the banner of Lantian, I can be run away?"
"Dream, don't say you are flying the Lantian flag today, you are really bringing in the Lantian army. See if I am afraid, hahaha..."
The smooth development in the past few days has made Liu Zongmin extremely arrogant, and his words can be called arrogant. But at this moment, a voice suddenly came out, which made Liu Zongmin feel like he was struck by lightning.
"Really? Liu Zongmin, you are now so strong that you are not afraid of me, Lan Tian, so I want to have fun with you!"
As soon as the sound came out, Liu Zongmin spotted a big man riding a tall horse and carrying a huge thick iron rod on his shoulder. He walked out of the woods with a smile on his face, his face full of fighting spirit, as if he wanted to beat him.
Just like a sudden.
Liu Zongmin looked at this man. The arrogance and arrogance just now disappeared in a flash, leaving only nine points of fear and fear in his eyes.
Li Chaomeng!
Li Chaomeng was riding on his horse, looking at Liu Zongmin and laughing loudly: "Liu Zongmin, long time no see, how about you fight me for a hundred rounds?"
Li Chaomeng pointed the stick at Liu Zongmin. The horses under Liu Zongmin's crotch seemed to feel the terrifying pressure and took a step back. Liu Zongmin's face turned pale at this moment: "Li Chaomeng, why are you here?"
While he was talking, a group of soldiers with live ammunition ran behind Li Chaomeng. They quickly protected the people and said to them: "Fellow, everything is fine here. You can continue walking towards Mianchi. There are corn pancakes and meat outside Mianchi."
Damn it, you will be safe once you reach Mianchi."
After hearing this, the people were all grateful to the visitor: "Thank you very much, officials, thank you very much."
Liu Zongmin frowned when he saw this, and Li Chaomeng laughed and said: "Liu Zongmin, if you don't accept it, you can come and fight for a while. I also want to see how much your strength has improved over the years?"
Hearing this, Liu Zongmin looked at Li Chaomeng and wanted to say harsh words, but he couldn't. Liu Zongmin was a very arrogant person and very confident in his own abilities. Therefore, even he was not that convinced by Li Zicheng. His relationship with Li Zicheng was not
The relationship between superiors and subordinates is more like a relationship of mutual cooperation. However, Li Zicheng holds the controlling share and has a leadership position, but Liu Zongmin also has his own autonomy.
It's just like the passage in the history books. After Li Zicheng captured the capital, he asked Liu Zongmin to go to Liaodong to guard against the slaves moving south. What did Liu Zongmin say?
He said: Everyone is a thief, why should you enjoy your time in the capital and let me work on the front line?
Listen to how arrogant these words are. If there was a superior-subordinate relationship, he would dare to say such things. Or to take another example, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xu Da to go to Mobei. Did Xu Da dare to say a word? Everyone is
As a member of the Red Scarf Army, why are you enjoying the blessings in the capital while we are going on an expedition to the bitter cold of Mobei...
This is the gap. From beginning to end, Liu Zongmin felt that Li Zicheng was not his master. At most, he was just a big brother who took the lead. When the world was settled, he, Li Zicheng, would be the emperor, and he, Liu Zongmin, would be the king.
Therefore, Liu Zongmin did not obey Li Zicheng's words, nor was he convinced, but he was really convinced by Li Chaomeng. The reason was very simple. Li Chaomeng really convinced him with one stick.
Money is more important than servants, and art is more important than being a traveler. Liu Zongmin relies on force to stand out among the entire army. He looks down on this one and that one, and thinks that everyone is inferior to him. But when he met Li Chaomeng, he was a bit like a cat and saw a dog.
I'm so scared!
Li Chaomeng was a little eager to try. If Li Chaosheng hadn't strictly prohibited him from charging randomly, he wouldn't want to talk nonsense with Liu Zongmin. You can eat a few sticks from me first and then talk.
Li Chaomeng looked at Liu Zongmin and said: "Liu Zongmin, weren't you very arrogant just now? Come on, let's do a few tricks in front of your subordinates. I just happened to have improved my stick skills recently, so why not give it a try and stretch out my muscles?"
!”
Liu Zongmin's face was ashen at this time, but he restrained his behavior because Li Chaomeng was indeed too powerful. They had fought each other more than once, and he had tried his best every time. As a result, Li Chaomeng could easily catch him.
It's a killer move, and his big titanium alloy stick weighs eighty kilograms and can break a person's bones and tendons with one strike.
Even though I was considered a strong person, I was still frightened when facing that big stick, so I didn't even say a harsh word at this time, I just looked at Li Chaomeng quietly.
I even wanted to escape a little bit.
Liu Zongmin knew that he was in trouble this time. He thought he was chasing weakling Sun Chuanting, but he didn't expect that he was facing the terrifying Lantian Army.
Liu Zongmin wants to leave now.
However, Li Chaomeng was not ready to let him go. Instead, he looked at Liu Zongmin and said, "Liu Zongmin, you can be considered a native of our old Lantian. Why don't you have anything to express when you see the team of the Lord of Lantian now?"
After hearing this, Liu Zongmin said with a dark face: "What do you want to express? When I was in Lantian, I was a bandit. I was your enemy of Lantian. What do I want to express to you, the lord of Lantian?"
Li Chaomeng snorted coldly when he heard this and said, "Come, tell Commander Liu Datong about the situation in his hometown."
After hearing this, someone immediately came forward and said: "Liu Zongmin, a native of Liujia Village, Languan Town, Lantian County, was only 20 years old when he left home. There are three people at home: his mother, his younger brother, and his younger sister. Now the younger brother has married.
The younger sister also made a marriage contract last year. The old mother is now being supported by her brother's family. After the agricultural reform, the family was allocated five acres of land. The younger sister is also working at the Lantian Steel Plant. The family lives a happy life and is greatly influenced by the local area.
The government folks take care of them.”
After the man finished reading, Li Chaomeng said: "Liu Zongmin, did you hear that you are working as a rebel outside, but your family is living peacefully and happily in Lantian County, living a life that you didn't even dare to imagine before? I heard
The local mayor said that your mother Liu, because she missed you all the time, cried so much that her eyes were blinded by crying. Later, she was cured by doctors at our Lantian Central Hospital’s free clinic. Now she can see with both eyes and can raise some chickens.
Little ducks and the like, life is wonderful, and these are all gifts from our county."
"Ask yourself, if your family members were not living in Lantian, but in the Ming Dynasty, you would have been cut to pieces just because you were the second-in-command of thieves. But our county magistrate has killed you.
How can you turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye to such kindness?"
"We Lao Qin people value friendship and kindness the most. In difficult times, anyone who borrows a few liters of food from others must be polite. If other people have work, they must rush to help others. But what about you?
My county honors you and your family. Do you think such a great kindness has never happened?"
"Liu Zongmin, do you think it's appropriate?"
As Li Chaomeng spoke, Liu Zongmin's eyes turned red. At that time, his family was really poor and could no longer survive, so he took refuge with his elder brother and became a bandit. The whole family was handed over to his younger brother to take care of him. Originally, he thought that he
When he failed and escaped from Lantian, the whole family would be liquidated by Li Chaosheng. Unexpectedly, Li Chaosheng did not do this.
Instead, they allotted fields and even arranged jobs for the younger sister. The whole family was arranged so well. How do you ask Liu Zongmin to repay? Men in Guanzhong value friendship the most. If you owe someone a favor, even if you let a man in Guanzhong kill someone for your benefactor,
Everyone is willing.
But now that I have received such a great kindness from Li Chaosheng, what can I do to repay it?
Li Chaomeng looked at Liu Zongmin and said: "Liu Zongmin, we are all old Qin people. There are no cowards among us old Qin people, and there is no one who owes someone a favor and refuses to repay it, and there is no one who does not repay a favor to someone who owes someone a favor, but also yells and insults his benefactor.
, This is inappropriate, and it is not in line with the style of our Lao Qin people."
"Liu Zongmin, don't you rebels care about this? Don't your rebels claim to be the most benevolent? Is this how you treat your benefactors?"
Li Chaomeng shouted sternly, and every sound was like a sword thrust into Liu Zongmin's lung tube.
The bandits may not pay attention to anything, but they must not ignore benevolence and righteousness, especially the word righteousness. The core structure of the bandits is not the refugees, but the rivers, lakes and green forests gathered from the three mountains and five mountains. What is the most important thing in the Green Forest Road, righteousness!
They must flaunt benevolence and righteousness all the time, otherwise they will have no rationality for their existence. Their core concept is to do justice for heaven, and now Li Chaosheng and Liu Zongmin's kindness is obvious.
The lives of the living Liu Zongmin and his family are no joke. The grace of survival is to be reborn. If he, Liu Zongmin, wants to continue to hang out in the gangster circle, he must acknowledge this kindness. If he does not acknowledge it, he, Liu Zongmin, is an unjust person.
People, even if others say something about him without knowing it, they will still stab him in the back secretly.
At this time, Liu Zongmin's face turned red and his ears were red. He could only feel that his iron face was burning. Liu Zongmin gritted his teeth, then looked up at Li Chaomeng and said, "Is the Honorable Lantian County here?"
After hearing this, Li Chaomeng said: "Here, please invite the county magistrate."
After saying this, soldiers naturally went to notify Li Chaosheng.
At this time, Li Chaosheng was communicating with the artillery tester about the various data of the artillery, especially the accuracy of the artillery. Li Chaosheng made a request, which meant where to shoot.
While Li Chaosheng was talking, someone came to report that Li Chaomeng had invited the county magistrate and Liu Zongmin wanted to see him.
The corner of Li Chaosheng's mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that Liu Zongmin had been attacked by Li Chaomeng. Li Chaomeng suppressed Liu Zongmin with kindness. It was Li Chaosheng's only move. Li Chaosheng's original intention was to hit Liu Zongmin with a stick and beat him until Liu Zongmin called him daddy.
But Li Chaosheng didn't want to conflict with Liu Zongmin. After all, if this guy was placed next to Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng's control over the entire bandit team would be reduced by 10%, which was comparable to a time bomb.
Liu Zongmin did not completely obey Li Zicheng. Sometimes when Li Zicheng gave an order, Liu Zongmin would be the first to disobey and raise objections.
Li Zicheng had to appease Liu Zongmin and get Liu Zongmin's support before he could carry out this order. This invisibly weakened Li Zicheng's power as king, and he could not keep his promise.
This has a huge impact on the entire bandit army, so the existence of people like Liu Zongmin is necessary. If Li Zicheng is the chess piece used by Li Chaosheng to deal with the Ming Dynasty, then Liu Zongmin will be the weak point left for this chess piece.
Only when the rogue bandits have a fatal weakness, some of Li Chaosheng's plans and strategies will be easier to implement. If the rogue bandits are really dominated by Li Zicheng's family, Li Zicheng can decide most things with just one word.
If Li Chaosheng wanted to achieve his goal, he would have to pay a high price. Therefore, people like Liu Zongmin were the troublemakers in Li Zicheng's team. They were fierce and aggressive, but not very obedient.
This is also the entrepreneurial stage. If Li Zicheng really came to rule the world and establish the Dashun regime, then Liu Zongmin would definitely be the first batch of heroes to be killed.
In the entrepreneurial stage, it was the time to employ people. Li Zicheng could not kill heroes without permission, otherwise who would have worked for him, Li Chuang, so even if Liu Zongmin was perverse, disobedient, and did not give Li Zicheng face, Li Zicheng had to endure it, otherwise the military would be demoralized if he did not make trouble.
.
But when the world is unified, anyone who obstructs the imperial power will be killed. Not to mention Liu Zongmin, who is so arrogant, even those who obstruct the imperial power in a low-key manner will be killed. Liu Zongmin did not survive until the Dashun regime was stable, otherwise he would definitely be killed by Li Zicheng
of.
But Li Chaosheng really likes people like this. The sand in the enemy's team is the weapon in our hands, and we must protect it.
