Gao Yigong listened and glanced at Li Guo. He could tell that Li Guo probably understood what he wanted to say.
In fact, during the period when they were besieged by the imperial army on the border of Yunnan, as long as they were human beings, they would have ideas. The difference is that some people just muddle along and live one day at a time, while others will think about it.
Life.
Even the most ignorant people have heard about the changes in the imperial court. They have personally experienced the difference between the past and the present. If they have no idea, it is definitely a lie.
However, those who followed Li Zicheng, whether they were related by relatives or brothers, had various reasons and still followed Li Zicheng.
At this time, Gao Yigong finally sighed and left without saying anything else.
……………………
About ten days later, the surrounding chieftains gathered at Li Zicheng's side. Every chieftain who arrived wanted to ask Li Zicheng whether the news he had passed on was true, and whether the imperial court had really been betrayed by other forces and attacked by other forces.
.
In this regard, Li Zicheng took the trouble to come and explain, and then laughed together for a while.
Afterwards, these people held a military meeting to discuss the next steps.
In the lobby, there are chieftains on one side and Li Zicheng's subordinates on the other.
On Li Zicheng's side, of course Li Zicheng sat at the top; on the chieftain's side, the most powerful Sha Dingzhou sat at the top.
This Sha Dingzhou is the son of Sha Yuan, the chieftain of Wangnong. He succeeded to the title of chieftain after his father's death.
After the death of Pu, the chieftain of Ami Prefecture, who was famous for his rebellion, his wife, Wan, remarried to Sha Dingzhou.
Originally, the strength of these two chieftains was relatively strong, so when the two chieftains merged into one, their power increased greatly, and they suddenly became one of the top chieftain forces in Yunnan.
In the original history, the famous event "Shapu Rebellion" was about Sha Dingzhou's rebellion and the expulsion of Mu Tianbo, the imperial representative who guarded Yunnan, from Kunming. The momentum was so great that almost all of Yunnan surrendered to him.
However, it was not until later that the remaining Great Western Army, namely Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, entered Yunnan and put down the Shapu Rebellion.
But in this plane, the situation is different.
Because of the butterfly effect, Mu Tianbo did not invite Sha Dingzhou to quell the rebellion. Instead, after receiving the imperial order from the beginning, he began to accumulate troops to mainly defend Yunnan Prefecture.
After the policy of reforming the native land and returning it to the local people spread, chieftains from all over the country rebelled one after another, including Sha Dingzhou himself, who also directly rebelled and formed an alliance with the local bandits who broke into Yunnan.
At this time, Li Zicheng saw that the allied chieftains had almost arrived, so he stood up and clasped his fists, saluted the chieftains, and then said with a smile: "Everyone, the Zhu Ming Dynasty has been around for almost three hundred years, and it is destined to be a dynasty change.
Even if Emperor Taizu appears, it will be useless. All countries have all formed an alliance to attack the Zhu Ming Dynasty. This is also an opportunity given to us by God!"
After Sha Dingzhou and others heard this, they were all very happy.
They chieftains were no exception. Feeling the power of the imperial army, they felt a sense of despair when they were surrounded here. As a result, something like this happened, and they were overjoyed!
No, Sha Dingzhou also stood up and said loudly: "The court is immoral and the emperor is stupid. He actually ignores morality and wants to take away our power. This is God's punishment for the Zhu Ming Dynasty!"
When the other chieftains heard this, they all screamed happily, because they saw the hope of continuing to be the emperor!
"It's such a pity that the Qing Empire and the Japanese Empire are too far away from us. Otherwise, if they form an alliance against the Ming Dynasty, we will have a share!"
"That's right, when the time comes, it won't just be four or five alliances, but forty or fifty alliances, which will scare that dog emperor to death!"
"It doesn't matter if we can't catch up with the alliance. Just when the imperial court is fighting with them, we can sneak out from the southwest to pick peaches!"
"Yes, yes, this is a good idea, this is a good idea!"
"..."
Faced with this noisy scene, many people on the bandit leader's side remained silent. However, Li Zicheng was very happy and did not care that the meeting hall was as noisy as a vegetable market.
After waiting for a while, these people were almost excited, and then he signaled for silence, and then announced loudly: "Now we are summoning everyone, mainly because there are two things to discuss together!"
The intelligence of the Han people is recognized. When the chieftain heard what Li Zicheng said, they all calmed down and listened to what he said?
Li Zicheng said to them: "The situation in the world is about to change drastically, and we must be prepared. The most important thing is to wipe out Mu Tianbo and Yang Weizhi's troops and capture the entire Yunnan. When the opportunity comes,
Only then can we go out to pick up peaches without any worries!"
Mu Tianbo is the Duke of Guizhou. To a certain extent, he is equivalent to the King of Yunnan and the highest representative of the imperial court in Yunnan.
And Yang Weizhi was the deputy envoy to Yunnan and patrolled Jincang Road.
He was born in a poor family in Baoji, Shaanxi. His father died young and he lived with his mother. His family was poor. But despite this, he worked hard and finally passed the Jinshi in the 15th year of Chongzhen. This is a bit like Hong Chengchou, who came from a poor family.
It was only through my own hard work that I made my way.
However, the two of them are very different.
After Hong Chengchou was defeated, he did not choose to die for his country. Instead, he surrendered to the rebels and acted as an aide, which in turn harmed the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Weizhi cooperated with Sun Chuanting in his early years to suppress bandits. Later, after arriving in Yunnan, he treated the local people well and won the support of the people.
If in the original history, Wu Bikui, the magistrate of Yuanmou County, rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, captured Lufeng, Guangtong, Chuxiong and other places one after another, and occupied Chuxiong City for nearly 20 days. Yang Weizhi led his troops from Dali to conquer Chuxiong and pacify Wu Bikui.
On the day of retreat, the soldiers and people of Chuxiong "climbed the gates to cover the road" and begged to stay, so they moved to Chuxiong. Subsequently, the war in Yunnan continued, and Yang Weizhi always stood firm in the defense zone and was not subject to coercion or inducement.
Later, when the Western Army entered Yunnan, Yang Weizhi led his troops to defend the Qiming Bridge in Lufeng. He was defeated and threw himself into the water. He was originally going to die for his country.
However, he was rescued in the end. Knowing his reputation, Sun Kewang personally dismounted his horse to comfort him, saying that the Daxi Army "united the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty", hoping that he could cooperate, and broke an arrow as an oath.
Therefore, Yang Weizhi made an agreement with three things: he did not need to give his loyal title, but still respected the Ming Dynasty; he did not kill the people; he did not take women captive. Sun Kewang agreed to it, and he was considered to be cooperating with Sun Kewang.
This was the first time Yang Weizhi was faced with life and death. He had no choice but to live an ignoble existence, which was very different from Hong Chengchou.
Finally, Sun Kewang wanted to proclaim himself emperor, so he threatened Emperor Yongli with the title of King of Qin. Yang Weizhi did not give in at all, and was killed in history.
This was the second time that Yang Weizhi faced power. He had no choice but to live in an ignoble way, showing a fearless integrity that Hong Chengchou could not match!
In this plane, Yang Weizhi connected Dali Mansion, Chuxiong Mansion and Mu Tianbo's Yunnan Mansion to support each other and hold on to the last territory of the imperial court in Yunnan.
At this time, when the chieftains in the lobby heard Li Zicheng's words, they all started talking.
"That's right, we have to kill them first so that we can feel at ease!"
"There's nothing wrong with Mu Tianbo, it's just that Yang Weizhi is a bit difficult to deal with!"
"Yes, we almost captured Kunming several times, but it was Yang Weizhi who led those troops to rescue us that made us return without success!"
"That's right, this Yang Weizhi knows how to win people's hearts and is very insidious. Everyone over there listens to him, so he's very difficult to fight!"
"No, whoever is nearby over there, it is said that when they attacked Yang Weizhi, half of the soldiers fled!"
"..."
This time, Li Zicheng frowned when he heard their noise. He turned to look at his subordinates, and then at these chieftains. He knew in his heart that his subordinates were all listening to him. And these chieftains, Everyone listens to themselves, and it's a bit difficult to get them to stop talking.
However, he was happy to see the outcome. If these chieftains were all dominated by Sha Dingzhou, then this force would be greater than him, and the weight of his words would not be as great as it is now.
With this in mind, he turned to look at Sha Dingzhou again. At the same time, comments about Sha Dingzhou flashed in his mind.
According to Song Xiance's evaluation after receiving the news, he said that Shadingzhou was actually average and just a little more ambitious.
The main reason is that his remarried wife, the originally well-known daughter-in-law Wan, is a bit powerful. Moreover, they also use Wan's brother-in-law, Tang Jianjia, a student member of Lin'an Prefecture, as the mastermind. We should also be careful about this.
Li Zicheng was thinking about it when he heard Sha Dingzhou slam the table, immediately silencing the voices of the others, and then said loudly: "I haven't beaten it several times. If you have any new ideas this time, please hurry up." Let’s talk!”
In his words, he didn't seem to have much respect for Li Zicheng, which made Li Zicheng's subordinates look at him angrily.
However, Li Zicheng himself pretended not to hear it, but said with a smile: "I do have new ideas. According to the news received, Sun Gouguan is still expanding the army and needs training. It will be impossible to send troops in less than half a year." .Therefore, we can secretly transfer all the troops over there, so that it will be much easier to attack the headquarters of Mu Tianbo and Yang Weizhi!"
After hearing this, Sha Dingzhou thought for a moment and then asked loudly: "That Yang Weizhi controls Dali and Chuxiong. With our military strength, it is still a bit difficult to dispatch them! If the stalemate continues, say Maybe they will flee into Yao'an's Mansion, which is the Shu region. If our troops are too small, the horse and dog officers will come over!"
When the other chieftains heard this, they all agreed, feeling that even if they sent troops back, it would not be enough to form an absolute advantage.
Li Zicheng was obviously well prepared. After hearing what they said, he immediately smiled and said, "So, let's talk about the second thing next!"
