Chapter 104 The essence of the peasant army

"Your Majesty agrees to let me return to the camp?"

Erwazi followed Li Xiu happily and couldn't wait to confirm again.

"Yes, go and assemble soldiers and then go back to the camp!"

"Good!"

"But Brother Xiu, where are you going? Are you not going back to the camp?"

"I went to the inner palace arsenal and I have always wanted to go there. It's rare to enter the palace today, so I'll just go and have a look."

"Call the soldiers and generals quickly and return to the camp. If nothing unexpected happens, we will go to war in a few days. You kid have been wasting here for so long. Don't make any trouble for me then!"

"Go to the expedition? Where to go?"

"Same as last time!"

"Last time? How long has it been? Why did something happen again!"

"In this world, there are many people who cannot survive!"

Li Xiu waved his hand, obviously not wanting to say more. In fact, although he was quite interested in the battle on the battlefield, he was now confident that he was no less weak than the ancient generals, but he was really not interested in suppressing the uprising of the peasant army.

Looking at the past and present, any peasant army can be described in four words in the early stages of the uprising!

That's a mob!

No, it's not even a mob.

After all, I was not able to survive, and few people dared to do the beheading business of rebellion.

They were all hungry and were almost dying, holding wooden sticks and crutches, and a vast number of walking corpses, without any hope of survival, and they followed the crowd, without any discipline, without any organization, let alone any military strategy. This was what almost all peasant soldiers looked like in the early days of the uprising.

To deal with such so-called rebels, there is no need for any elite troops. As for those who dare to fight in the third or fifth, they will bring dozens or hundreds of slightly organized soldiers. A shock will be a massacre! A so-called great victory!

But what is funny is that this kind of existence that is about to collapse at once often can quickly carry countless refugees under the herd mentality of people. In this way, those peasant soldiers who often have hundreds of thousands of people were formed in history.

Although this kind of peasant army is not worth worrying, once the peasant army survives its initial fragility, undergoes several wars and transforms like raising a Gu, some backbone elites will naturally be born.

With both quality and quantity, and without considering any development of people's livelihood, it will soon be in chaos and become a confidant of the court.

The facts are often so helpless. Before the Ming Dynasty could not solve the root cause of civil unrest, it could only solve the peasant army itself, and it should be solved as soon as possible!

"call……"

After breathing a long sigh, Li Xiu looked around and was about to go to the inner palace arsenal, but a call from a distance made him stop. Looking around, Cao Huachun, who had been promoted to the admiral of the East Factory, was coming quickly, surrounded by several eunuchs.

"General Li!"

"Governor Cao!"

Cao Huachun looked at the Erwazi who was gathering up the soldiers and asked, "Is Xu Qianhu planning to withdraw from the palace?"

"Yes, Your Majesty has issued a decree."

"Eunuch Cao, are you going to pay homage to Your Majesty?"

"This is not the case that General Li, you were assassinated by the White Lotus Sect's thief. Your Majesty knows it. He ordered the East Factory to investigate clearly. He is now preparing to report to Your Majesty..."

Hearing this, Li Xiu became interested and asked, but the result was not beyond his expectations.

The intention of his handing over Tang Liancheng and others to the East Factory was to use the sharp blade of Dongchang to teach him a lesson on the White Lotus Sect so as not to stare at him if he had anything to do.

The facts were just as I expected, with the crime of assassinating himself, so how could Cao Huachun, a smart man, ignore it?

Just follow the clues, Cao Huachun is obviously planning to take this opportunity to do a big fight. Judging from his appearance, he obviously also wants to take this opportunity to touch the Jinyiwei who is already accustomed to surrendering to the East Factory.

Cao Huachun's thoughts naturally Li Xiu would not expose them. Even now, all this is as he expected.

He eroded all the foundations of Wei Zhongxian bit by bit and ate them all until Zhu Youjian took control of the government. Only then would he be the time to truly display his ambitions.

After a few polite words, the two did not talk too much. They were close ministers of the emperor, one was the chief of the factory and the other was in charge of military power. Maintaining the necessary distance was a silent tacit understanding between the two.

"Supermaster, is this General Li?"

As soon as Li Xiu left, a young eunuch beside Cao Huachun couldn't help asking.

"how?"

Cao Huachun glanced at the eunuch. The smile that had just appeared in front of Li Xiu gradually calmed down, and he spit out two words expressionlessly.

"There is nothing, I just didn't expect it to be so young!"

The eunuch subconsciously shrank his body and smiled embarrassedly.

"Don't be blind. General Li is the one whom Your Majesty trusts and relies on the most. If anyone offends him, don't blame me for not protecting you!"

With a cold voice, Cao Huachun waved his sleeves and strode towards Qianqing Palace.

"The last general will meet with the general!"

When he reached the gate of the inner palace arsenal, Li Xiu had not had time to show the letter of order given by Zhu Youjian, a general who was guarding immediately came up.

"Do you know me?"

Looking at the strange face in front of him, Li Xiu was a little curious.

"Report to the general, when the late emperor passed away, the last general was ordered to guard the mourning hall of the late emperor. I was fortunate to meet the general!"

After hearing this, Li Xiu immediately understood.

In other words, Li Xiu has experienced this kind of scene countless times during this period.

Once the storm is on, so many people want to cling to it!

This is also because he is unwilling to really get involved in the court. Otherwise, with Zhu Youjian's reliance and trust, he would not have been able to tear apart the complicated group of nobles!

As his thoughts flowed, under the leadership of this general, Li Xiu stepped into this once unattainable inner palace arsenal without even showing the letter given by the emperor.

The heavy iron door was open, and what reflected into Li Xiu's vision was a scene similar to the Jinyiwei's Golden Pavilion.

"I have seen the general!"

As his eyes fluttered, the sudden sound made Li Xiu subconsciously hold the hilt of the knife. He Han killed himself and instantly locked the hunched figure behind the table beside him!

Looking at the old eunuch standing in front of him, Li Xiu frowned, his eyes fixed for a while before his voice slowly rang: "Are you a martial arts practitioner?"

"Ahem... some tricks can't get on the table..."

The old eunuch coughed a few times, looked at Li Xiu with his turbid eyes, and the hoarse voice also sounded again.

Li Xiu let go of the knife handle, looked around at the rows of bookshelves not far away, and then looked at the old eunuch in front of him and said:
Chapter completed!
