Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 397

"Brother Zhang Yuan, don't talk about it, I just listen to you." Li Zicheng tried to keep Zhang Yuan, blocking the door to prevent him from leaving.

"Then can we continue our plan and attack Daizhou in the north?" Zhang Yuan asked with a sullen face.

"Okay, okay, even if I risk my life, I will take down the capital and change the dynasty." Li Zicheng said.

"Since this is the case, please issue a military order to order all the troops to rectify and prepare for a large-scale attack. If you want to conquer the capital, there are two suitable routes from Taiyuan. One is to take the line of Daizhou, Datong and Xuanfu. One route we have to face Xuanda Frontier Army, one of the most powerful frontier troops in Ming Dynasty, and the other route is to take Zhending and Baoding all the way, facing the local army of Hebei and Gyeonggi generation and the guards near Gyeonggi soldier."

"We have a large number of troops now, and we can completely attack in two directions at the same time, and beat the master to death with random punches. Even the court may have a hard time predicting that we will act like this." Zhang Yuan said the next plan.

"The two border towns of Xuanda have the imperial court's hundred-war frontier army. We should not conflict with them. We should avoid them as much as possible and put the main force in Zhending and Baoding all the way." Li Zicheng said.

"Wrong, big mistake! It is precisely because the North Road is the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty, so we need to concentrate our forces to eliminate them first. Once we defeat and incorporate this army, we will be able to eliminate the imperial court's will to resist, and it will be easier to attack the capital. " Zhang Yuan directly opposed Li Zicheng's proposal.

"But we may not be able to defeat Xuanda's frontier army. In case of heavy losses, we will not be able to bear it." Li Zicheng said.

"King Chuang really strengthens the ambitions of others and destroys his prestige. Have you ever thought that these frontier generals will be loyal to the court? Will they fight us desperately? If they know that the end of resistance is only a dead end If there is one, then how do they choose?" Zhang Yuan said.

Li Zicheng rolled his eyes, and then clapped his hands: "You are right, the border guards may not necessarily resist to the death, and they may not be loyal to the imperial court! It is the resistance of the Taiyuan General Army that makes me respect the Xuanfu, There was a miscalculation in the two towns of Datong."

"Exactly. Those who dare to resist us, those who would rather die than surrender, will be killed without mercy! For those who submit to us, we promise them high officials and rich salary, and use benefits to trap them. Although we are fighting very hard now It's difficult, but in the long run, within a few months, the generals behind will welcome King Chuang with a pot of food." Zhang Yuan continued.

Li Zicheng's eyes became clearer and clearer: "You are really the reincarnation of Liu Bowen. I will issue a military order to reorganize the whole army and prepare to divide into two groups. I will lead the main force to attack the two towns of Xuanda and you. The capital trembled and surrendered without a fight!"

With Li Zicheng's words as an endorsement, Zhang Yuan immediately rectified the troops in the city.At the beginning, these wanton looting refugees would not give in obediently.However, Zhang Yuan immediately arrested hundreds of troublemakers, took them to Caishikou and beheaded them.

The bloody head made all the rebels and bandits in Taiyuan City quiet, and no one dared to make trouble again.

Zhang Yuan looked at all this indifferently, and then selected a group of refugees who had not participated in the riot just now and the Ming army prisoners of Taiyuan Mansion from the rebellious army to supplement his own soldiers.

Li Zicheng had no objection to the actions of the great hero Zhang Yuan, and he himself added a bunch of recruits to his subordinates. He didn't understand Zhang Yuan's harsher requirements.For the Peasant Army, of course, the larger the number, the better. Through the astronomical numbers, a bloody road will be piled up, and Daming will be crushed.And Zhang Yuan's strategy is obviously to select the elite from the refugees, rather than lacking in excess, so so far, although Zhang Yuan can temporarily command all of Li Zicheng's troops, Zhang Yuan's personal soldiers have not exceeded 1000.This is also Li Zicheng's reassurance that Zhang Yuan, who can fight and has no trace of making a big one, will temporarily command the army.

After Li Zicheng's 20 army captured Taiyuan City, it absorbed a large number of rogues and refugees from Taiyuan Prefecture, and the number expanded to 30.Of course, among these refugees with their families, there are only a few who are truly capable of fighting.But the number of these locusts is enough to be daunting, covering the mountains and plains, wherever they go, there is no grass growing!
Everywhere 30 refugees went, they opened barns and plundered the rich and common people, even the bark and grass roots. They were more terrifying than locusts.

In fact, even if Li Zicheng wanted to stay in the area of ​​Taiyuan Mansion, it was impossible to separate from the imperial court, because the food in Taiyuan Mansion was simply not enough for this group of out-of-production refugees to eat!The hunger for food will drive them to gobble up everything around them until there is no food anywhere.At that time, a large number of people will starve to death until a new order is established.This has been the case throughout the ages.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Yuan led 20 refugees from Taiyuan to attack Daizhou northward, opening the way to Datong and Xuanfu.Li Zicheng's brother-in-law Gao Yigong and others led [-] refugees from Taiyuan Mansion, but took the Baoding all the way.

The woman rescued by Zhang Yuan was arranged next to Zhang Yuan.Zhang Yuan's soldiers all thought that Zhang Yuan was interested in this woman, so they didn't say anything, but asked the woman to do some work as a maid to please Zhang Yuan.After all, they had never seen anyone who could calm Zhang Yuan down.Can my boss find a woman as robbery?

"Why do you want to help the evildoers? Don't you know how many good people these villains have killed?!" The rescued woman still had some prejudice against Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan was also a little surprised, because if she was not facing Zhang Yuan, she would have been tarnished or killed by her character.To be able to make him abandon the darkness and turn to the light at this time is not ordinary bravery.

"These people are good people until they have nothing to eat." Zhang Yuan said coldly, "If a person can't eat enough to eat, even a person will eat it. Once the success is complete, the bones are dead, and human life is so despicable in troubled times .Looking at your previous dress, you look like a rich girl. How can you understand the feelings of a poor and hungry person. I can only feel sad for them. Poverty and hunger are the original sins of everything."

"Then you...why did you save me? People like me should be regarded as a thorn in your side." The woman was shocked by Zhang Yuan's unethical words.

"I can save whoever I want, and I can kill whoever I want. This is power." Zhang Yuan said, "If you don't keep money and don't command soldiers, in this troubled world, you have to treat each other coldly in order to keep yourself. "
