The Ming Dynasty talker in the box

Chapter 55 The Qing army invades on a large scale
"Cut off this woman's head."

Not long after the scholar left, Zuo Liangyu suddenly gave this order.

After hearing this, the scholar's wife felt that the whole world had turned upside down before she could beg for mercy. Her beautiful head spun twice in the air and then fell to the floor with a dull sound.

"I respect a woman's will, so the scholar cannot take her away. However, I hate disloyal and unjust bitches and cannot leave this woman to harm my soldiers. The scholar has some courage and goes to take this woman away. Send his head to the scholar for disposal."

cough cough cough.

Zuo Liangyu coughed again when he smelled the smell of blood. He waved his hand and told everyone to leave.

"You're very cool at what you do."

As soon as Zuo Liangyu leaned on his tiger-skin armchair, he heard sounds surrounding him. He stood up suddenly and coughed uncontrollably.

"Okay, you can't see me, so lie down." Historically, he was supposed to die next year, but Li Hengqu had the god of plague attribute, and he was really worried about killing Zuo Liangyu in advance.

"Are you the giant-hand god?" Zuo Liangyu was also a person who had seen the world, and quickly calmed down. He thought about the rumors about giant hands that had been heard recently, and he began to speculate in his mind.

Li Hengqu was a little surprised. What happened at the beginning had already spread here?But it's good that he knows what happened at the beginning, so he doesn't have to worry about erecting his majesty anymore.

"Since you know my existence, you should know my methods."

"I have heard some rumors that Lord God's skills are amazing and impressive. I just don't know what orders Lord God has given me this time."

"Nature is here for you."

"Is this the commander-in-chief?" Zuo Liangyu was a little surprised, but it was rumored that the giant-hand gods were in contact with people like Li Zicheng. He was considered to be well-known in the world, so it was reasonable for the gods to find him.

"Your end is approaching. If you don't renew your life in time, you won't survive next year." Li Hengqu told the truth.

Zuo Liangyu was slightly shaken after hearing this. He was very aware of his physical problems. If he didn't get better, something unfortunate might indeed happen. The gods took the initiative to mention this matter. Could it be...

"Please, Lord God, save me!"

Li Hengqu noticed that Zuo Liangyu no longer called me commander but called me. This meant that he finally took the initiative to lower his posture and lowered some of his defenses.

"I am here to extend your life."

After Zuo Liangyu heard this, he knelt down on one knee. Compared with his own dignity and pride, he knew clearly whether his dignity and pride were more important than his fate.

"Zuo Liangyu thanks you, Lord God!"

"Okay, your life is about to end due to lack of vitality. You choose 500 strong men from the army, and I will extract their vitality to extend your life."

"Yes, Lord God."

"It's best to be the men you like most and are most satisfied with. The energy of these people can heal you better."

"Yes, Lord God."

"Okay, you choose first, and then call me when you have made your choice."

"Yes, Lord Spirit, but how should I call you?"

"You just need to shout four words to the sky, Master Yishi!"

…………

It takes a certain amount of time to select five hundred men, especially if it is related to his own life. Zuo Liangyu must be meticulous and cautious.

He found monks and priests and asked them if they knew the craftsmanship of plate armor.

The monk said that there is no problem with the craftsmanship, as long as the drawings are drawn and built according to the proportions.

Li Hengqu handed over the matter to the monks and priests. He planned to build 108 pairs of European-style half-body plate armor to arm his personal guards. The remaining 392 people were equipped with firearms and crossbows for long-range protection. As for the need for There is no need to configure other arms, just adapt accordingly in the future.

After Long Jiu learned that the priest was in Gaojiabao, he found Li Hengqu and asked where her father and sister were now.

"I sent them to Nanjing."

"Really? Great, my father can finally lead the Ming Dynasty to fight back."

"I'll send you to Nanjing later."

"Me, me?"

"What? Don't you want to go back?" "Of course I do, but I can't leave yet." Long Jiu said with firm eyes.

"Can't go?"

"Brother Li, have you forgotten the Farmers' Association?"

Li Hengqu was enlightened, and then he rejected her in a serious tone.

"No, the situation here is too dangerous. The Farmers' Association is the target of public criticism. If it doesn't work, it will be doomed."

"But you supported me in establishing the Farmers' Association before, and you also said that you want to help the people live a good life through the Farmers' Association!"

Li Hengqu was choked and speechless, and then admitted that he had taken it for granted before.Judging from the troubles Ma Jiben brought him, it is really not a rational thing to establish a peasant cooperative in the enemy's hinterland.

"No, Brother Li, this is not a matter of course. I have thought about the Agricultural Cooperative Association carefully during this period. The more I think about it, the more I feel that the Agricultural Cooperative Association is a great thing. I have made up my mind to accomplish this."

When Li Hengqu saw Long Jiu's attitude, he realized that she was completely concerned about the Farmers' Association.

"Then you should find another place to set up a farmer's cooperative. Well... Qiongzhou Prefecture is far away from the Central Plains. There will be much less resistance to setting up a farmer's cooperative there, and there won't be too much risk."

Long Jiu shook his head firmly:
"No, it's too far, it's in Shandong Province!"

Li Hengqu was a little annoyed: "Why is this?"

"Because my people are still in the hands of the Manchus."

"Do you still want to organize armed forces here to rescue your family?" Li Hengqu asked in shock.

"Yes."

"Nonsense! How can the Qing army be so powerful that some of the peasants you armed can resist it?"

"Brother Li, you once said that these farmers are fighting for themselves, and they are invincible to a certain extent."

"Then we have to grow up for a period of time first!"

"Obvious growth?" Long Jiu asked doubtfully.

"Anyway, I won't agree to this."

"I don't need your permission!"

……

Long Jiu never thought that she could talk to Li Hengqu like this, and she suddenly felt a little regretful in her heart, but she still stubbornly raised her chin, refusing to give in.

Although Li Hengwu was a little helpless, he had plenty of means to take Long Jiu away, and he didn't really care about Long Jiu's decision.

"Mr. Li, there are more than a dozen people outside, saying they are from Jiaozhou City." The monk came over and broke the stalemate between the two.

From Jiaozhou?Are they the volunteers from Dashun?What are they looking for me for?
Li Hengqu walked to the front hall and saw a dozen soldiers pacing anxiously.

"Why did you come to me?" Li Hengqu's attitude was not very good, because Ma Jiben wanted to kill him more than once, and even almost did it.

"Master Li, we need your help."

"Help? I don't dare to help, lest I get assassinated again."

"Master Li, the Qing army is invading in a big way. We are less than fifty miles away from Jiaozhou City. We can't find the commander, so we have to come to you for advice."

"You came so quickly? Is Wu Sangui here?"

"According to news from the north, the generals of the Qing army this time include Azige, Duduo, Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others."

"The lineup is quite luxurious. Has anyone found out how many troops they have brought?"

"At least 15 million!"

"15? Then why are you here? Run away."

"No, the Qing army wants us to hand over King Chuang, otherwise they will massacre the city, leaving no one behind, young or old. We are all locals, and our families are all here. It is too late to leave now, so I beg Mr. Li to rescue us. "

"If you don't help, you can go wherever you like."
