Volume 8, Minmin, Chapter 23, Rhapsody of Founding an Army(2/2)
Of course, if the Mongolian Tartars were overthrown and a new dynasty was established, the Ming Dynasty would require half of the elders to agree, and all positions would be given priority. "
Yin Tianzheng narrowed his eyes and said, "Is this the first one, Elder Treasure?"
Gao Qiang nodded and said, "We have never had a leader in the Ming Cult, but if we have qualifications, it is difficult to launch a candidate that others are convinced. Now there are two deputy leaders, one general manager, three Dharma kings, five scattered people, and seven flag envoys. There are 18 people in total. Eighteen people form an elder group. If the execution of personnel is done, more than half of them must agree. Under normal circumstances, the elder group is only reduced but not added. If there are brothers below who are promoted to achieve success, they need to agree to more than half of the elders before they can enter the elder group."
Gao Qiang paused, looked around and said, "Now, the personnel and eighteen people in the gang have decided to set up the elder group. It is because the brothers are separated from each other and come to the foundation of each other. There will inevitably be conflicts. This is also a mediation organization. Well, the elder group requires more than half of the elders to arrive, and the resolution that occurs will take effect. One of the two deputy leaders must participate. I am the general manager, unless neither of the two deputy leaders can participate, the establishment of the elders can be held."
Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng looked at each other, laughing without saying a word, but Zhuang Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Gao, do you mean that if we are the elders, we must gather ten people, and we must be summoned by two deputy leaders. Moreover, the resolution that the members of the elders in the meeting place must agree to take effect in the end?"
Gao Qiang nodded and said, "That's exactly!"
He thought to himself, Yin Tianzheng, Yin Yewang, Li Tianyuan, and Zhang Wuji, four of them.
Yang Xiao, a lonely man.
He, including his position, Wei Yixiao, five scattered people, and seven people.
The remaining Zhuang Zheng added five major flag envoys, six of whom.
One, Four, Six, Seven, the right to convene the Presbyterian Council is in the hands of Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng. The Presbyterian Council must summon ten people, so how could it be so easy? This organization is just a temporary agreement to maintain the peace of the Ming Cult. Next, the Five Elements Flag, Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng, can barely count their own path. The four groups of people acted separately to see who can expand their territory and stand the test!
It is already cold winter in Yunnan, but the warm climate is not affected much.
In a remote place, in the teahouse, a scholar dressed in a scholar took up half a table and squeezed his companion to the other side. The scholar spitted everywhere and talked loudly about his arguments. His face was greasy, his eyes were bright, and his body leaned forward. Regardless of the content of the speech, he really looked like a storyteller who was performing in the world. "Can you know the four thieves?"
"What four thieves?" His companion was drunk, half of his body was lying on the table, his eyes were hazy, and his mouth was unclear and he asked vaguely. "I'm ignorant!" The scholar said without hesitation, "Who made you buried in the old paper pile all day long? The four thieves are Beigao, Nanzhang, Xixu, and Dongyin!" "Four thieves, four thieves are just four thieves who are more powerful than soft. People are just killing and robbing people. I'm lying on my saint's book. What's wrong with me?" The drunk guest's face was a little uneasy, and a blush rose on his face, which was pale without seeing any eyes. "Hmph," the scholar shook his head, his face flushed, and a trace of sweat oozing from his forehead and nose. He said in a voice: "If this is the case, he's just a thief.
, robbing people is just a life and wealth. What qualifications are there to be called a four-man thief? The four-man thief is four powerful robbers. They gather in the mountains and forests, form cliques, do business without capital, and even dare to fight with the officers and soldiers with famous swords and guns. The officers and soldiers failed to suppress them repeatedly. Do you think this group of people is powerful? "Oh, Liangshan is good..." Zuike shivered and almost said the word "Han", and hurriedly added: "Thieves!" "Almost," Xiucai nodded, "That's the four-man thief from Song Dynasty, Fang La, Song Jiang is powerful? He was still wiped out. These four-man thiefs will not be better than their predecessors, right?" The guest at another table next to him asked: "Scholar, then you would talk about the four-man thief in detail."
The scholar picked up a glass of wine on the table and drank it all. He didn't care if his clothes were wet. He whispered: "Well, let you wait for a long experience," he muttered in a low voice: "If my uncle hadn't been walking everywhere in the world, I wouldn't know the news."
The scholar raised his sleeves and said, "The four thieves, the north Gao, refer to the rebel Gao Qiang in Huaibei, the south Zhang, refer to Zhang Shicheng in southern Hunan, and Xu, the west Xu, Xu, Xu, and the east Yin, and Yin Tianzheng in eastern Zhejiang. These four people gathered tens of thousands of people, rebelled and killed officials, and did all kinds of evil."
The guest at the table next to him sneered: "I think you know some secrets. If this is the case, you don't need to say it. It's just a few names."
The scholar couldn't hold his face anymore, and he blushed across his mouth and said, "If you want to listen to the secret, that's fine. Do you know what happened in the world? These three thieves, such as Beigao, Xixu, and Nanyin, are said to be all demons who don't eat meat and worship Bodhisattvas. They pretend to be gods and ghosts, and they don't know what magic tricks have used to confuse ignorant people and do everything evil. They also heard that Da's behavior is strange and mysterious. As for Zhang Shicheng, he was one of the Beggars' Sects, leading a group of beggars who praise the ground. I don't know how they learned some of the names."
The guest at the table next to him nodded without saying anything, thinking. The scholar's partner was obviously a nerd. He raised his head and said in surprise: "This group of thieves are rushing around and killing people randomly. Will it ruin my essence?"
The scholar laughed and said, "I said you should come out to bask in the sun more often. There are people in the world who don't know the four thieves, but everyone knows the reputation of the general. Before the four thieves, there are many thieves everywhere. The general leads troops for only one year. The whole territory is pacified, and the four thieves are destroyed. It is just around the corner."
The scholar said "Great General" and the expressions of other guests in the museum changed. Some were afraid, some hated, and some were happy, and some murmured. On the table next to him, someone suddenly asked: "Scholar. Let me ask you, is this Dayuan Dynasty a Mongolian or a Dayuan of the Mo people? Are you a Mongolian or a Han Chinese? A scholar, I will ask you again. Over the past year, natural disasters have been repeatedly caused, and there are thousands of miles south of Ganzhou.
There is a Yellow River burrow in the north. You go out and take a look. How many people have starved to death? How many people have changed their children and eaten, and the Mongolians still dominate the army and do not care about the life and death of our Han people. Do you know?"
The scholar's face turned red as blood, and he reached out to point his finger at the man, unable to speak.
The man slapped the table, stared wide open, and continued to angrily: "Four thieves! I respect them as heroes who killed Mongolian Tartars. Where are the thieves? They are all honest people who are forced to survive. Let me ask you, which sage book do you read? What is the principle of learning? "
The scholar looked at each other with his companion, and was stuttering in his mouth. Someone secretly escaped from the drought in the restaurant.
bite!
The scholar and his companion screamed, and the drunken man lay on the table, indulging in exercise, and studying all day long, twisted and ran away. Although his legs were so powerful that he fell to the ground and crawled out regardless of his recklessness.
The scholar had already fallen soft and slowly slid down to the ground. When he looked at the soles of his feet, a pool of liquid oozed out, and he was so scared that he had peed his pants.
There was a big man with a beard in the store, but he was dressed as a Mongolian. At this moment, he was carrying a knife, and blood was dripping from it. Under his feet, a head was spinning, but it was the guest who had just scolded the "Mongolian Tartars".
The Mongolian man Mo raised his knife and gently licked the blood on the knife. Haha, he laughed: "Ignorance Mo Dog, no matter whether you are a four-man thief or a four-man thief, if you meet my family's general, will you all become dead?"
A few months later, the flowers were still in bloom, outside Haozhou, Anhui.
One tent after another bloomed, and the earth seemed to bloom thousands of white flowers overnight. These many flowers formed a flower bush, and they were like a group of dazzling stars, which tightly lit up the dark Haozhou City.
The tents are separated by people and horses. At first glance, I don’t know how many people are walking in the middle. There are also forty or fifty platforms made of earth three or four meters high, and Qiqi Street faces Haozhou City.
The platform is like a conical mountain, with warm slopes everywhere, but the highest point is a platform with a person on the gentle slope. Hi, Hi, Hi, the sound of horns is endless. Groups of strong men are bare-armed, pulling thick ropes, and one end of the thick rope is tightly tugging on one side. There are also people holding logs on top of the gentle slope. The cannons pressed on it, making a squeaking sound. So many people served for half a day and took half a day to work, but they just moved the cannon gently.
Some small cannons have wheels under them, which is relatively convenient to push, but despite this, it is still time-consuming and labor-intensive.
On the platform, some artillery was already in place, and all the muzzles were facing Xiaoxiaohaozhou City.
Behind the platform, a gorgeous white tent stands there. The top of the tent is actually a golden roof, and the circle of the tent is inlaid with agate and pearls, which is indescribable luxury and precious. At the top, a flag is erected high.
The curtain of the man trunk trembled, and a Mongolian man came out. The man had a beard on his face, but it was the guy who was killing people in Yunnan. He looked at the high platform in the distance, and there were many cannons. He smiled proudly and retreated.
The tent was not as luxurious as it was, with a large red velvet carpet on the ground. The two generals fought with each other. Seeing that they were wearing helmets and armor, they were all in charge of the side when they went out, and they were determined to kill, but unexpectedly, in this tent, they stood like servants, and didn't dare to say anything.
This Mongol man could still smile proudly outside the tent, quite arrogant. When he entered the tent, he put away a smile, his big face was solemn and nervous. He clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Report to the general, the artillery team outside is progressing in an orderly manner. You will probably be ready tonight. When tomorrow, tens of thousands of cannons will be launched. The thieves trapped in Haozhou City will be wiped out in an instant!"
The Mongols' Hansuo Street was in the center of the tent, and the general who was mentioned sat there, but the general was dark all over him and could not see his face clearly.
After a long time, there was no sound in the tent.
"Chelibuhua, retreat!" The general said four words clearly. "Yes!" Chelibuhua bowed his head and retreated into the queue. He dared not say much.
The general looked down at the map and whispered: "Four-man thief. Four-man Fu, Yin Fu has been defeated by our navy. Xu's thief is divided in internal strife, Zhang's thief... Humph, Gao thief, this time I told you that you can't fly!"
This section comes from history, but the Ming Dynasty has just reversed a little. According to the "History of Ming Dynasty", in the 27th year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty (1367), Zhang Shicheng was trapped in Pingjiang City by the Ming army (now Suzhou, Jiangsu). General Xu Da "led the Forty-Eight Streets of the Generals of the Forty-Eight Streets of the City, and set up five Liyang gun mounts and more than fifty seven-pin gun mounts in each street. More than fifty generals of all sizes were placed around the city, and forty-eight camps were arranged around the city. Zhang Shicheng wanted to escape without a road. Outside the city of Haozhou, a million troops, and the colorful tents bloomed like flowers on the ground, covering ten roads.
In Haozhou City, millions of soldiers and civilians and camouflage tents spread out like green grass on the ground, covering the entire city.
In the center of the city, the highest building is a tall building covered with vines. However, it is early spring now, the flowers have not yet bloomed, and the withered yellow branches are clearly green.
In the tall building, the largest valve house was shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland. "Are you all here?" Gao Qiang asked with a swollen eye, and leaned sideways towards Wei Yixiao. One reason is that Wei Yixiao's best light skills and the best eyesight. A hundred old men can see who has not arrived at one glance. They are simply an excellent follower. Gao Qiang asked the old man, and his body moved with his eyes and pressed forward to show his closeness.
Wei Yixiao nodded and looked at Yin Tianzheng beside Gao Qiang, with a worried look on his face. Yin Tianzheng next to Gao Qiang had become a sprayer. The old man was no longer in the state of breathing with his mouth. His facial features were not breathable with one eye. Now he was moving with two nostrils, two ears and one mouth, swallowing tobacco. Now Yin Tianzheng was shrouded in a layer of smoke. Not to mention his face, he could not even see his figure clearly.
Although Gao Qiang cannot say that he does not smoke or drink, which man can't smoke or drink when dealing with occasions? Especially a man in power.
But even he couldn't stand the poisoning of Mr. Yin. After all, he had high kung fu and could not withstand the chronic poisoning of nicotine. He saw that the iron box in front of him was full of cigarette butt heads, with the three words "Zhongnanhai" printed on it red - high-end cigarettes, which were specially used by the senior officials of the Ming Cult. It was a money-making product developed by Shen Wansan with the meaning of Gao Qiang, boxed cigarettes, which was the favorite of the Mongolian Tartars and the rebels.
Gao Qiang was worried and looked down at the special Zhongnanhai. This Zhongnanhai cigarette had half the length of the body, which was suitable for addicts to smoke. However, Yin Tianzheng said that there were at least forty or fifty ones, and it was possible to continue smoking in this trend.
Gao Qiang wanted to persuade Mr. Yin, but he held it back.
He had seen Mr. Yin’s miserable appearance.
The nickname of the White-Browed Eagle King is no longer enough to describe Mr. Yin. Not only does Yin Tianzheng's eyebrows have turned white, his hair has turned white, and his face has become rosy before, but he has become white paper-colored. His eyes are blurred and his eyes are yellow. He is confused and confused. He is drunk all day long, and he doesn't care about other things.
Anyone who has seen Yin Tianzheng understands that Mr. Yin has collapsed.
Gao Qiang couldn't help but recall what the monk said: "That's so miserable!
The efforts of the Yin family, Brother Yin, were ruined in an instant!
During the battle of Taihu Lake, no one expected that Brother Yin had decided to catch turtles in Wengkou, but he led the army to attract the Mongolian Tartars to attack and sent his troops to block Hukou.
But I knew that the general guarding Hukou actually colluded with the Mongolian Tartars and put the warship prepared by the Mongolian Tartars back then in. The Mongolian Tartars were so cruel. The traitor personally brought the boat with explosives to guide him. He deceived the checkpoint and fired. Brother Yin's big brother Yin's 100,000 soldiers and hundreds of warships turned into ashes. Brother Yin almost wiped his neck and jumped into the lake. If Zhou Tu's relatives were not trying to save him, Brother Yin would not have run out!
Gao Qiang looked at Yin Tianzheng again. He sighed in his heart. This old man had too strong clan concepts. The Yin family members were killed in Taihu battle. Mr. Yin was probably dead in Taihu with the fire. Unless Zhang Wuji and Li Tianyuan brought the Yin family disciples who went out to sea back, Mr. Yin might be in a slump.
Gao Qiang looked down. Yang Xiao next to Yin Tianzheng was not much better than Yin Tianzheng. But he was still taking care of his image and sat there seriously. It was obvious that no one could see that Yang Xiao was absent-minded.
He looked haggard and had a seventeen-bedroom concubine. Although he was old, he always had a good life. People in his fifties looked the same as those in their thirty years old.
It had just been more than a year since the Ming Cult decided to retaliate. Yang Xiao had many wrinkles on his face, and his dark hair lost its luster after drought. His eyes were dull, and the valve or the rotation brought about a deep gloom.
Gao Qiang felt quite sympathetic in his heart: no matter who is betrayed by his confidants, it would definitely feel very bad, especially if you bet on things for a lifetime.
Yang Xiao sent the leader of the Tianmen Sect, Xu Shouhui, to have high hopes for him. He personally won the treasure land in southern Ganzhou for him. Xu Shouhui also made great efforts. In one year, he won 108 water camps of all sizes in Yanghu, and established a foundation for human films, with hundreds of thousands of troops. If we talk about military merits, Xu Shouhui did it completely, and it was obvious that Xu Shouhui's ambitions also expanded with military merits, which was not a good phenomenon.
Yang Xiao is not as elegant as Yin Tianzheng. He was too long to hear when he was staying on the top of Guangming. He regarded himself as the orthodox Ming Cult everywhere. If he could have gone to southern Gansu with Xu Shouhui at that time, this would not have happened.
Yang Xiao found that he could not command Xu Shouhui gradually, so he had no choice but to transfer Zhu Yuanzhang to divide Xu Shouhui's military power. Zhu Yuanzhang was originally a member of Hongshui's banner, but after making several contributions, Tang Yang, the commander of the flag, did not promote him, and had many complaints. Later, Yang Xiao was attracted by his eyes and transferred to his own sect. After a year of training, he had already accumulated merit and promoted to the leader of the sect.
The result was good and bad. Zhu Yuanzhang successfully divided Xu Shouhui's military power. Zhu Yuanzhang did not listen to Yang Xiao's command. Yang Xiao arrived at Xu Shouhui several times and Zhu Yuanzhang's territory was coldly treated. This time, the Mongolians dispatched millions of troops to attack. Yang Xiao went to Xu Shouhui and Zhu Yuanzhang to urge him. As a result, Jing encountered some strange things, either encountering poisonous snakes, or the ship leaked, or the food was problematic, and almost died, and returned in a mess. Gao Qiang knew all this, and even more clearly that Yin Tianzheng's naval army had lost such a person, which was related to the Poyang Lake naval army. The Mongolian naval army stretched for dozens of miles, and Xu Shouhui and Zhu Yuanzhang actually hurried in Poyang Lake to avoid fighting. It is estimated that the two people who Yin Tianzheng wanted to eat alive except the Mongol general.
Gao Qiang sighed, and tried his best to open his eyes through the thick smoke, so as to see clearly his capable generals.
The smoke-torn Yin Tianzheng, the unstoppable and gloomy Yang Xiao sat on his head.
If we talk about military victory and failure, these two are completely losers, but sometimes, military victory does not equal political victory.
Gao Qiang was the second, and sat opposite Wei Yixiao, and the two of them were frowning.
Wei Yixiao and the others sat quietly, followed by Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Hu Renhai and Tang He.
There were thirteen people in the room, one was an unlucky number, Gao Qiang thought to himself.
A group of people sat on a round table, with a sand table in the middle, with small red and white flags standing in front of them, and the white flag was like an iron barrel to trap the red flag map.
This time, the Mongolian army launched a navy, army, and flagged thousands of miles, mobilized the prime ministers and kings from Xicheng, and countless soldiers from Xiban, claiming to be a million, but they actually plunged into the center of the four-man bandit!
From a formal perspective, the Mongolian army was simply destroying itself. There were 100,000 elite soldiers from Huaibei, Anhui, Huaibei, Anhui, and Xu Shouhui in Yanghu, the south, Zhu Yuanzhang's naval army of 400,000,000, Yintianzheng, the water and land troops of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and 200,000,000, and Zhang Shijian from Hubei, Hunan and Hunan, the east, with more than 100,000 troops. As long as these four echo each other, the millions of troops cannot be looked at at the beginning and end, and the destruction is just around the corner.
Although the "Four-man Bandits" of the rebel army had only been in full swing for a year, there were continuous natural disasters and disasters in this year. Even the rich places in Jiangnan had uninhabited Jedi. The Mongolian Tartars took action again, and as a result, sparks suddenly burst into a prairie fire. The uprisings in all directions were rebelled. For a time, the situation today was so great that it was the situation.
The Mongolian army suddenly entered the center of all directions and was stationed in the centers of Anhui and Jiangxi provinces, and was simply attacked from all sides!
The Mongolian army has long been no longer a powerful force that was dominated by the world and had no reason. The army was corrupt and did not know how to fight desperately. He knew that he was greedy for money and led military achievements. This general of the Mongolian army was really powerful.
This man commanded only 30,000 troops, defeated the rebels of the Ming Cult Five Elements Banner in all sides, and defeated countless Red Turban Army. Earlier, the rebels were basically wiped out by him alone, and they used only 30,000 troops! The positions they faced were often as few as 100,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of troops.
The five elements flags that revolted at the same time were three. In addition to Yan Yuan in charge of the Western Regions, he could also protect himself. In the other two places, the two places in Hunan, the local Ruijin and Hongshui flags were defeated repeatedly and repeatedly. They were first excluded by Zhang Shicheng of the Beggar Gang, and then surrounded by the Mongolian generals. The two banners suffered heavy losses. In the end, they lost the Hunan situation and gave Zhang Shicheng. Ming escaped more than 200 gangs, and they were injured from the flag commander Wu Jincao and Tang Yang. The two flags commander both lost their lives.
The giant wood, the two flags of the fire, Wen Cangsong and Xin Ran were even worse. They arrived in Xu Sufengpei area to invade the incident. The landlords and powerful armed forces alone could not cope with it. How could they grow and develop? A year later, they had never commanded more than 10,000 soldiers, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, almost negligible. They were commanded by the general and the ground was clean. In the end, only a hundred people escaped from the two flags. Wen Cangsong's giant wood flag was left, and he was left with a bare general.
This time, this general led a million troops at once! He also brought countless artillery and plunged into the center of the "Four-Man Bandits". Who dares to underestimate it?
Originally, Gao Qiang, Yin Tianzheng and Xu Shouhui communicated with each other, and originally planned to use the Yanghu Navy as the main force to attract the Mongolian Tartars. Then Yin Tianzheng Navy took advantage of the situation to rescue and attacked each other. Gao Qiang sent Xu Da again, and Chang Yuchun led his troops to march quickly. The three sides merged together to annihilate the Mongolian army!
Gao Qiang also contacted Zhang Shicheng. Although he had never met, he was a rebel army. Although Zhang Shijing and the people of the Ming Cult Five Elements Banner also met with each other, Gao Qiang thought that Zhang Shicheng would definitely come to help at such a critical moment!
Chapter completed!
