Chapter 6 Jinse (Part 6) "Peaches and plums can conquer the world; the queen goes around Yangzhou and wanders around the garden without talking, who can say yes!" Just a few absurd and unheard-of nursery rhymes and a surname have convinced countless heroes.
The Sui Dynasty is about to perish, and the power of the world will return to the Li family. This statement is unbelievable, but in fact, there are still many people who believe it! Especially after the spring of the eleventh year of the Great Cause, almost every street in the Sui Dynasty
There are rumors that "the Li family will rise and the Yang family will perish". There are fortune tellers and "wise men" who work part-time to catch ghosts and channel spirits. They even directly and confidently analyzed that the "peaches and plums" in the nursery rhymes refer to
If Li Mi, the nephew of the Li family who was on the run, had not been destined by fate, he would not have become the only mastermind who survived Yang Xuangan's rebellion, nor would he have won the support of so many big and small forces just after entering Wagang.
"The Queen goes around Yangzhou and wanders around the garden" refers to the fact that the Emperor and the Queen will die violently in Yangzhou, and the bodies will be buried in the ravines. As for the two sentences "Don't talk nonsense, who will come to Xu", it was extended more clearly by the "wise men", who promised
, Mi Ye, clearly refers to the original Pu Shanggong and the current second leader of the Wagang Army, Li Mi
The rumors made people panic, and also made countless people who wanted to make great achievements ready to donate all their wealth to Li Mi, asking a founding general to lead a hundred relatives and tribesmen to occupy a certain hilltop, and say, "Submit the orders of heaven and open your eyes for Mi Gong."
The most irritating thing is that a scholar who wanted to be promoted went straight into the Yamen of Qi County Prefecture and warned Pei Caozhi, the prefect, and Zhang Xutuo, the ambassador of the Twelve Counties of Henan Province to depose him.
Recognizing the general trend of the world, he went west to take Li Mi as the lord of the Eastern Xia counties. Pei Caozhi and Zhang Xutuo's answer was naturally a slap in the face, but the scholar was very arrogant and was spanked by the government officials until his buttocks were bruised.
, actually raised his head, looked at Pei Caozhi in the hall, and said with compassion on his face: "Destiny, do you understand destiny? If you are so ignorant of obedience, when Pushan Gong's army arrives, you will be buried in the ditch!"
Pei Caozhi was forced to have no choice but to behead the son in the suburbs, which made him famous as the "Founding Father". However, instead of being stopped, the rumors became more and more serious. Later, some lower-level officials were also confused.
He even began to secretly complain that Pei Caozhi shouldn't have done things too badly, cutting off everyone's future prospects.
Where is the source of the rumor? Zhang Xutuo and others know it by thinking about it with their toes, but there is nothing you can do about it. The Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo three times in a row without success, and it has lost its prestige. Moreover, at this moment, the court still has
He knew how to treat the people well, but instead listened to the words of some scholars and built a large number of palaces to show that at the beginning of Taiping, he had just completed the extremely magnificent Guanwen Hall, and now he was starting to build the Yiluan Hall. According to market rumors, the dragon boat was burned down by Yang Xuangan the year before last.
It was also built by Zhiji, the third son of Yuwenshu, on the orders of Yuwenshu. It is more splendid and grand than the original one.
The farther the court's pursuit is from the people, the more the people hope to change the dynasty. In the eyes of Zhang Xutuo, Li Xu and others, Li Mi is just a big liar who can only lie but never fulfills his promises. In the hearts of the people, the picture painted by Li Mi is
But it is the hope that many people struggle to survive.
Not only Li Mi, but even Zhang Jincheng, Li Zitong, Zhu Can, Wei Daoer and others all put forward their own ideas for governing the country, claiming that they would "have the same clothes to wear and the same food to eat" with the people of the world. Although they always robbed people,
Whenever you gain something, you always hide it in your own secret cave.
"Grandma, if your surname is Li, you can be emperor. There are so many people surnamed Li in the world, why is it Li Mi's turn to be such a big liar!" When a few people were gathering, Luo Shixin cursed loudly, "Zhongjian is also surnamed Li, and he has both good character and martial arts."
Much taller than that Li Mi!" In order to make his words more convincing, he quoted many circumstantial evidences and ignored the fact that several friends around him had turned pale with fear.
"Shi Xin, how long have you been talking nonsense?" Qin Shubao, who has always been respected by everyone, raised his eyes and lectured loudly.
"At what time, when the situation is not hot or cold, Li Mi really has the destiny to be the emperor, so he will send troops to Qijun to fight with us. As long as he can defeat our Qijun children head-on, I will admit that he is not a great emperor.
Fooling!" Luo Shixin yelled unscrupulously, with one hundred and twenty dissatisfaction in his words
"We have to fight Li Mi sooner or later, but don't drag Zhong Jian into it. The court is very taboo about this!" Seeing that the other party was becoming more and more outrageous, Dugu Lin stepped forward and pulled Luo Shixin's arm, reminding Luo Shixin to pay attention.
one's own words
"What's the matter? Your Majesty still believes in this. I thought only those lunatics and scoundrels believed it!" Luo Shixin blinked his big innocent eyes and asked in surprise. In his eyes, the emperor's cousin Dugu Lin is the person who understands the emperor best, and his opinions are often
It also represents the views of His Majesty the Emperor.
"The emperor may not believe it, but the emperor is afraid that the people of the world will believe it!" Dugu Lin grinned and responded with a wry smile.
Troubled times have come, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are still busy fighting for power. If Luo Shixin's words reach their ears today, they will not care about how many military exploits Li Xu has made for the court in the past. They will definitely ask your Majesty to punish those who eat meat as soon as possible.
Fat-minded guys will not see the wildfire that is already close at hand. They will only seize every opportunity to knock down those who threaten their status.
Potential dangers can be seen by everyone just by looking up, but Luo Shixin couldn't turn this corner. "The Emperor himself doesn't believe it, so what else is Zhong Jian afraid of?" His voice was slightly lower, but he still kept mumbling.
"Shi Xin, from the early days of Daye to now, the imperial court has killed countless officials named Li. Don't just talk about it. If these words spread, Zhongjian will be in disaster." Qin Shubao couldn't bear it and simply pointed out the words directly.
"Well, I, Mr. Luo, didn't expect this level!" Luo Shixin turned his head to Li Xu with an apologetic face. But soon, he laughed easily again, "There are only four of us here, and even Mr. Zhang is not here, who will
Spread my words? Brother Zhongjian, do you think so?"
Li Xusu had nothing to do with Luo Shixin, a "madman". Seeing the innocent look on his face, he had no choice but to follow his tone and answer: "Yes, Shixin is right, but be careful, walls have ears, so let's not say this again in the future!"
"
"If you don't say it, don't say it. Anyway, if Li Mi wants to be the emperor, he must first come and have a fight with our brothers to prove that he has the ability to be the emperor!"
"You will have a chance. I estimate that in less than half a month, the imperial court will issue an order for us to go west to suppress the bandits." Qin Shubao sighed, looked at the brilliant spring scenery outside the window, and replied quietly
Last winter, the imperial court decreed that Zhang Xutuo be promoted to the post of ambassador of the Twelve Counties of Henan Province, in charge of the suppression of bandits in various parts of eastern Henan Province. Dongping County and Jibei County under his command were both areas hit hardest by bandits in the past and were pacified.
After Zuo Xiaoyou, there was no longer a threat near Qi County, and the mission of the county soldiers to go east to suppress the bandits was put on the agenda.
Dongping County and Jibei County are both bordering Dong County where the Wagang Army is entrenched. Under the pressure of the officers and soldiers, the bandits in the two counties will definitely quickly fall to the Wagang Army. At that time, a fight between the Qijun brothers and the Wagang elite will inevitably occur, and
Who can finally gain the upper hand? Qin Shubao is not sure at all
Unlike Luo Shixin and Dugu Lin, Qin Shubao has no contempt for Li Mi. Compared with this cunning snake, Qin Shubao is more willing to fight Xu Maogong. Although the latter's military ability is very strong, after all, it belongs to the category of upright conspiracy.
Li Mi, that guy, doesn't follow common sense in both his tactics and his actions. You might be able to beat him and run away, or you might accidentally fall into this guy's trap.
"Go west to suppress the bandits? It's a good thing that we take the initiative! But do we have enough food and grass?" When the topic returned to the war, Luo Shixin was not confused. After thinking about it, he asked worriedly
"No, we had just enough food last year to defeat Lu Mingyue and made some gains, but there was a lot of treasure and little food and grass!" Li Xu shrugged and responded in a low voice, "But even if the imperial court doesn't issue an order, General Zhang will have to take us with him.
After marching westwards and going through that crazy struggle, we, the children of Qijun, must fight to defend ourselves!"
When many people do evil, they often think that they have mastered the only way in the world. That was the case with the madman who was killed in the suburbs by Pei Cao's order. Li Xu did not doubt this person's devotion to the doctrine of prophecy, and also sympathized with this madman for his
The persistence of rebuilding the ideal of a prosperous age, but after being tossed by this lunatic, there was no room for maneuver between the Qijun children and the Wagang army. Countless people were led to death by his crazy words. Before this man came out and went crazy, the prefect Pei Caozhi
Regardless of whether they guard Zhang Xutuo, I am afraid that the entire civil and military forces in Qi County do not have many thoughts of sending their troops westward to quell the rebellion for the imperial court. This is not because everyone is not loyal to the imperial court, but because of the actual situation in the place.
With the ability of Qi County, the number of soldiers it can support is no more than 20,000. The Wagang Army now claims to have a crowd of 100,000. If Li Mi raises his voice in a critical moment, the number of bandits who will respond to his call will definitely not be less than 100,000.
Two hundred thousand people
Using 20,000 county soldiers to defeat 300,000 thieves, Li Xu was as unsure as Qin Shubao. Although he had defeated Li Mi cleanly before, Li Mi did not have Xu Dayan by his side at that time. The situation in the world at this moment was completely different from when Yang Xuangan's rebellion was put down.
"Hi!" After listening to Li Xu's words, Dugu Lin also sighed deeply about how broad-minded the emperor is. He knows better than everyone that the reason why the reward for defeating Lu Mingyue has not been issued to this day is because of the troublemaker.
It has nothing to do with the crazy life
If the master is suspicious, the minister will die. This has been true since ancient times. If the Qijun brothers do not have a solid fight with the Wagang army in a short period of time, I am afraid that he, the emperor's closest relative, and Li Xu, the emperor's disciple, will not be able to escape.
"What are you sighing about? It's just a group of thieves that we defeated one after another. The total number of thieves is at least 500,000. How many times have I seen everyone sigh!" Luo Shixin is a born optimist. When he saw Qin Shubao, Li Xu and others
The man's face became more and more solemn, he jumped up and said loudly
"That's true, no matter how many there are, they are just thieves!" Qin Shubao smiled and responded that no matter how strong the Wagang army was, they were just thieves and officers and soldiers killing thieves. Thinking like this, his heart gradually became filled with pride.
The expression on his face gradually became relaxed
"But what they want now is no longer to rob families and homes!" At the same time, a voice quietly rose in Qin Shubao's mind. The enemy had begun to plan to establish their own country, and what about the county soldiers, why did they fight after leaving Qi County? Why?
Is it because the increasing taxes force them to work hard all day long and find it difficult to provide enough food for their families? Or is it because of the way General Zhang Xutuo treats him?
What if General Zhang made a mistake?...Qin Shubao did not dare to continue thinking along this line of thinking. Years of experience told him the fact that the farther away from Qi County, the worse the combat effectiveness of his brothers.
And Wagang Mountain is eight hundred miles away
