Chapter 668 Sharing the Great Cause ([-])

In the big tent of the Chinese army, General Li Chuang and Zhou Daoren, both the host and guest, sat as non-voting delegates.

This meeting, according to Zhutianliu's routine, is an important time and space node of the plane. A meeting that changes the course of history.

To say that the Chinese military account is actually a bit flattering.Nowadays, all camp leaders are standard rogues, and their professional name is armed beggars.It is impossible for this kind of armed group that runs around day and night to gather and disperse to have formal logistics and supplies, nor can it gather a set of qualified military camp supplies.

As far as what Zhou Yi saw after he entered the camp, most of the soldiers who broke into the army didn't even have uniform uniforms.The so-called barracks in the camp are scattered cloth sheds and thatched huts, just like what a refugee team should have.

The Chinese military tent is actually nothing more than a Dragon King Temple in the camp. Miao Zhu's family ran away before the bandits entered Xingyang in large numbers.

Needless to say, at this moment the tent is backed by Sea Dragon King, facing the Kaifeng mansion, and the one sitting in the center is the master of the room, the general Li Zicheng.

It is completely different from the nonsense written purely for discrediting in the "History of Ming Dynasty" "high cheekbones and deep cheekbones, with eyes and nose".Li Zicheng, who is in his thirties, wears a red-tasseled Fanyang hat, has a square face with broad eyebrows, black hair and round eyes.Although he is not a middle-aged handsome guy, he has a tough and generous face, and he has a generous taste of Shaanxi people.

You know, "History of Ming Dynasty" was compiled by the Manchu Qing court.From the second year of Shunzhi to the fourth year of Qianlong, it took 94 years to finalize the draft.It is no exaggeration to say that "Ming History" is the longest official history book in Chinese history.

Why did the dystocia take so long?Because the falsification of historical books is a systematic project, which requires countless lies to cover up countless lies It is also full of all kinds of inconsistencies, contradictions and absurdities.

Therefore, when the Qing court entered the customs and seized the world under the slogan of "revenge for Emperor Chongzhen", in the "compilation project" such as "Ming History", it is true that Li Zicheng, who forced Chongzhen to death, can arrange a good look Hell.

Li Zicheng made his move, and those who sat facing the east were Zhou Yi and three distinguished guests from the army.

Probably because of taking care of the feelings of the distinguished guests, there were three capable men sitting opposite Zhou Yi.After Li Zicheng's introduction, as expected, these three are the township parties that Zicheng relies on most at this stage: Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, and Li Guo.

Next, as the master, Li Zicheng looked at Daoist Zhou with a smile again, and finally subdued his surprise in his heart, and cupped his hands and said: "Zicheng first, on behalf of all the brothers, thank you, Taoist priest, for his generous help, and rescued Tian from the hands of the government." The lives of the two of you."

Although he had heard a lot of miraculous stories beforehand, he himself was also very interested in the Taoist priest with a very different aura in front of him.But after all, brother Zicheng often dealt with people from all walks of life, so he didn't say a word of admiration for a long time. Instead, he bowed his hands frankly and raised the topic of the prison robbery first.

At the same time as Li Zicheng bowed his hands, the three subordinates and old brothers also bowed their hands and bowed their hands to thank him.

"Hehe, it's nothing more than a little effort, and I shouldn't be praised by the general."

While General Li was sizing up Zhou Yi, Daoist Zhou also observed the anti-army leader with great interest.

From Zhou Yi's point of view, General Li Chuang, who is not very good-looking, and his messy battalion are not as orderly as the reeducation through labor team in Dongguan Erkan under the command of the general. It's not worth the effort of the General Intelligence Bureau to send itself here to give a big gift.

However, the decision of the General Administration must be correct, and this point has already been stamped with iron law in Zhou Yi's heart through countless actions.So now he is also very interested in Brother Zicheng. Zhou Yi really wants to find out what this Li Chuang is far superior to his peers, so that the General Administration can bet on him.

"It's a coincidence."

After Tuantuan and the people on the opposite side greeted each other politely, Daoist Zhou opened up the conversation: "To tell you the truth, I originally came down the mountain on a poor way to pay homage to the general. I didn't want to fall asleep and meet the pillow, so I happened to be here At the foot of the mountain, I learned about the trapped Tian family brothers."

"That's it. It can be regarded as a meeting ceremony. Hehe, joining a gang in the Jianghu, isn't there also a certificate of honor?"

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Yi hadn't finished speaking, and laughter sounded.

After raising his head and laughing a few times, Li Zicheng said with a smile all over his face: "The Taoist priest is just joking. We are all hard-working people who force the people to rebel against the government to survive, not bandits who occupy mountains and become kings in the rivers and lakes. I'm not interested in submitting certificates."

"However, regarding the matter of the Tian family brothers, I still feel very kind."

Speaking of this, after Li Zicheng and his brother looked at each other, their faces became more serious, and finally got to the point: "The Taoist priest speaks frankly, so Zicheng is not easy to lie. Just now the Taoist priest said that this defection. This brother We heard a little bit about it before, and we were really surprised."

Although Li Zicheng and his group had heard Tian Da's words before, they were all paraphrases, and Tian Da couldn't explain many key points clearly.So when Zhou Yi himself made it clear again just now that he wanted to join him, Li Zicheng was surprised and had to ask clearly.

You know, the Li Zicheng Group at this point in time revolted and defected to his uncle Gao Yingxiang not long ago. The team was just opened, with no more than fifty horses, and there were only more than 300 Ganshan deserters with seven or eight guns under his hands. He was dizzy after being chased by the imperial army.

A battalion leader of Li Zicheng's size, and even his own reputation, are classified into the atmosphere group in today's mighty peasant army rebellion trend, and they have no reputation at all.

If it weren't for this Xingyang meeting, to be honest, even the battalion leaders inside the Peasant Army, most of them would not know who General Li Chuang is.

However, this Zhou Daoist with obvious background, an angel investor in the [-]th century, just killed officials and saved people thousands of miles away to save people. He went straight to the emergency and searched for the unremarkable Li Group to discuss financing. The cooperation and support for happiness came too suddenly, and the Li Group must not be used to it all of a sudden.

"Hehehe."

Concerning Brother Zicheng's biggest doubt at the moment, Zhou Yi's heart is like a bright mirror.This conclusion is easy to speculate, and Li Chuang would think so if he were him.

So Daoist Zhou memorized the copy again: "This matter is a long story. Rong Pindao first reported to his master's secrets and deduced the secrets of the heavens."

The set of copywriting that Zhou Yi memorized at the Dragon King Temple today is a detailed version and the content is very comprehensive.This set of copywriting, from various angles of feudal superstition, expounds the whole process of how the Youdao expert calculated the heavenly secrets, deduced the direction of the dragon's energy, and finally determined that brother Zicheng is the son of luck.

Next, Zhou Yi's logic is very clear: Since brother Chuang is the son of luck, then the hidden sect Iron Umbrella Gate, who wants to enter the world and gain luck from the dragon, sent Zhou Yi, a contemporary disciple, to come down the mountain to assist Chuang. Brother, it is a very reasonable and logical thing.

-------------------------

"call"

After a full stick of incense, Zhou Daoren's copywriting came to an end.

Although he was still sitting in the chair, Li Zicheng's current feeling was like flying through the clouds. Everything Zhou Daoren said was more ideal than he expected.

In fact, just after Tian Da told about the process of returning from prison, most of the backbone members of Li Zicheng's group have already firmly believed in Zhou Daoren's origin.

The reason is very simple: except for the answer of actually calculating the secret of heaven, the rest of the guesswork cannot be explained. How did Zhou Yi, who is far away in Huguang, know that there is such a person as Li Zicheng, and came all the way to visit him.

Don't forget, this is the seventeenth century, an era when a letter takes months to send.

What's more, this Taoist Zhou not only killed officials to rebel, but also brought his own dry food, sending several thousand catties of military food to the government spies?If the government had been so wealthy, there would not have been uprisings of refugees everywhere.

Lu Xun said, rule out all the impossible, and the rest is the correct answer.

For Li Zicheng and other people at the bottom of society in the Ming Dynasty, their knowledge structure, and even their outlook on the world and life all determined that what Zhou Yi said was the only answer they could accept.

"Hehe, the general has great luck with dragon energy, it is God's will that cannot be violated, and the intention of coming here this time probably makes it clear."

When Zhou Yi uttered the last sentence, at this moment, Li Zicheng, who finally realized that he "really has the potential to sit on the dragon chair", was overwhelmed, his brain was crazily congested, his face was flushed, and his fingers squeezed the armrest tightly, but he was still sipping. Self-modestly said: "Self-cultivation started at the very end, the Taoist priest is so loving, it really kills me!"

Before Brother Zicheng could finish his performance and leave the scene, Li Guo, who was the youngest present, jumped up excitedly, patted the back of the chair and shouted, "Uncle really is the real dragon! I don't want this!" Big tomorrow, but it’s cheaper, I’ll wait!! Haha! Haha!”

-------------------------

Two days later, Li Zicheng's troops, who had been entrenched on the left side of Xingyang for more than a month, suddenly broke out and headed southward at high speed in the direction of Xuchang.

Two days later, Li Zicheng's forward cavalry team joined the grain transportation team south of Yinshui and received the grain truck.

Later that day, in a Guandi temple near Yinshui, all the generals of Li Zicheng's group, as well as the hundreds of soldiers in the outer circle, including the tight wall, watched with the same eager eyes. lively scene.

At this moment, although Zhou Daoren has not been accepted into Li Zicheng's team, he is already standing on Li Chuang's right hand, and his position seems to have been agreed upon.

In fact, in the past few days after leaving the camp and going south, both the host and the guest are waiting for the arrival of this batch of grain trucks.

Li Zicheng waited for the grain truck in order to make the final verification of everything before.On Zhou Yi's side, it was to "shock" the opponent so that he could gain more voice within the team in the future.

As for what kind of "shock" the several thousand catties of grain, which had already been psychologically expected, would bring to Li Zicheng's department. The answer will soon be given.

The next moment, the gang leader opened the sack to inspect the grain, felt something was wrong and stretched out his hand, but pulled out a bright silver breastplate with metallic luster from the grain bag.

The silver-scale breastplate is wrong, it is a mountain-patterned armor, a high-end armor equipped by generals in the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, everyone from Li Zicheng down was dumbfounded.

On the morning of the second day, June 1635, 6, Yinshui Guandi Temple.Witnessed by Guan Sheng, general Li Zicheng gathered his men, opened an altar of incense, and publicly worshiped Zhou Yi, a Taoist priest of the Iron Umbrella Gate, as his military adviser and assisted him.
