Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 440 False Surrender or True Surrender

Thinking of the mountainous financial expenditure, Wu Shigong felt a little overwhelmed.But now that the situation has become like this, it is time to make a decision and take one step at a time.

So Wu Shigong, who understood all this, immediately ordered: "Go back and get ready, rest for a day tomorrow, and the whole army will attack the next day to completely defeat the Shaanxi bandits on the opposite side. You, Yongzi, don't leave for the time being. After participating in the next day's battle Besides, damn it! I’m smashing tofu with a hammer, so I’m here to buy and sell it with a hammer!”

"Ah!?" The officers all exclaimed.

Wu Shigong looked around, and then explained: "Just got the secret report, the Shaanxi bandits who entered Shanxi on the north road came back again! They may enter Guide Mansion soon, so we need to eliminate the Shaanxi bandits on the opposite side as soon as possible, and then Rush to Guide to rescue. Therefore, in the future battle, you must move quickly, don't be afraid of the casualties of your sons, you just want to completely defeat the Shan bandits on the opposite side. Do you understand?"

"No!" The officers immediately stood at attention and took orders.

After all the officers went down, Wu Shigong stayed in the empty tent, thinking of Zuo Liangyu who made him stand together, he couldn't help cursing: "You bastard!"

But at this time, Wu Shigong didn't know that the peasant rebel army on the North and East Roads was actually much stronger than he estimated.Although the peasant rebel army on the North Road fled after seeing Zhang Yingchang and Cao Wenzhao's troops, their strength was not damaged at all. Even after a large number of refugees took refuge in them, their total number quickly exceeded 10 people.And when they cross the Yellow River and head towards Guide Mansion, the number of refugees who come to seek refuge will further increase.

Among the peasant rebel army on the East Road, there are two strong troops, Gao Yingxiang and Luo Rucai.Luo Rucai's army has always been a relatively small force among the peasant rebel army, with only a little over 2 people so far.However, there are more than [-] veterans from the three sides, so Luo Rucai's troops have always been the strongest field combat troops among the peasant rebels, and the fastest running speed.

Although the number of trilateral veterans in Gao Yingxiang's army is relatively small.There are only about 5000 people, but there are many young and strong laborers in his army. Many young and strong are miners. The combat effectiveness of the Lu peasant rebel army has surpassed that of the 4-strong army opposite Wu Shigong!

But the wonderful thing about life is that there are constant surprises.Now Wu Shigong is worried about his family, but the leaders of the peasant rebel army on South Road are worried about the situation in front of them.

"This won't work! That won't work either! Then you can come up with a proper way? If there is really no way, I think we can simply surrender to the official dog on the opposite side!" Zuo Jinwang He Jin said angrily.

As veteran soldiers who grew up in long-term wars, the leaders of these peasant rebels have a very keen sense of smell on the battlefield.After only a few encounters with Wu Shigong's Runing Army, they had a complete understanding of Wu Shigong's combat intentions.

So tonight.The Eight Great Kings, Zhang Xianzhong, invited the leaders of the battalions to discuss matters, hoping to come up with a solution to the predicament in front of them.But after the leaders of the battalions rushed to Zhang Xianzhong's big tent, Zhang Xianzhong himself did not appear, but these leaders argued among themselves in the big tent.

Faced with his opinions being denied one by one, Zuo Jin Wang He Jin couldn't help complaining.But his complaints suddenly gave some inspiration to the other leaders.

Wang Tianwang at the side immediately asked: "Then shall we feign surrender again?"

"Come on! It depends on who is using this swindling trick?" Ge Liyan He Yilong immediately retorted. "Do you think the man opposite is a civil servant full of bookworms? The man leading the troops there is a military officer. We feigned surrender, and he took our family property. Then he chopped off our heads to claim credit. Could it be that we went to Yama Where should the king go to sue? Don't feign surrender and turn it into death!"

Because the suggestion he made was refuted the most by Ge Liyan He Yilong, so when he saw He Yilong refute again this time, He Jin couldn't hold back his anger, and he shouted: "Then we really Surrender. Anyway, you’re just serving as a soldier and getting paid, so where can you not eat well and drink spicy food? With so many of us surrendering, I don’t believe that Ming will not be jealous.”

Although the fifth battalion of Gezuo was named after the combination of the initials of the nicknames of He Yilong, the eye of Geli, and He Jin, the king of Zuojin.But the relationship between the two is not good.In addition to the reason that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, there is another reason that the two people's origins and backgrounds are very different.

Ge Liyan He Yilong, like many leaders of the peasant rebel army, was born in abject poverty, and his family members basically died before and after his rebellion.

But Zuojin King He Jin is the son of a rich man in the country.It's just because he always likes to make friends with rangers, that is, the leaders of the underworld at that time.Therefore, after the peasant rebellion in Shaanxi was surging, he was elected as the leader of the peasant rebel army there.

Therefore, He Yilong hated the Ming court deeply, and had an attitude that was completely incompatible with the court.However, He Jin's rebellious attitude is not firm, as long as it can bring him prosperity and wealth, he doesn't mind surrendering to the court.

And the attitude of these two people also makes the Gezuo Fifth Battalion faintly divided into two factions, not the other three leaders—Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, Changed King Liu Xiyao, and Troubled Times King Lin Chengcheng mediating among them, maybe these two people They have long since parted ways.

But now, because the three leaders are not in the peasant rebel army, and the pressure brought by the Runing Army is too great, these two people are a little anxious and irritable, so the two people are negotiating. They also quarreled many times.

So after hearing He Jin's words, He Yilong immediately yelled: "Who dares to surrender to the official dog? My old He is at odds with him immediately. That is to say, if we fight the official dog on the opposite side, even if we don't end well, we will all rebel After so many years, we have already earned back."

"If you want to fight, you go for it!" He Jin did not show any weakness, "Anyone knows how to talk, and our brothers can fight if they have the opportunity. But they can't get close to the Ming army on the opposite side, so they use artillery and firecrackers After fighting back, how many brothers are willing to fight this kind of aggrieved death? At the beginning of the rebellion, we were all just for one bite of food, but now we are all big and successful, why can’t we have a good future? Have you lived this life with your head tied to your trouser belt all your life? Unless you want to sit on the dragon chair. But I don’t think you, He Yilong, have that kind of life.”

Seeing the veins bursting out on He Yilong's face, and his right hand was already on the handle of the knife, the leaders hurried forward to separate the two of them.Hengtian Wang also persuaded: "We are all brothers of our own family, so we can discuss anything. Calm down! Calm down!"

King Taiping also persuaded: "We have enough food and grass, and we can still live for a month. There is still time to discuss! Calm down! Calm down!"

Under the persuasion of those leaders, the two also calmed down.However, the scene at this time was a little cold, and the leaders were all thinking about their own thoughts.To be honest, at the beginning of the rebellion, those leaders really didn't think much, that is, they wanted to survive by themselves.But now, their respective futures really need to be considered, so they basically agree with He Jin's opinion.But because of He Yilong's strong opposition, they could only stay silent for a while.

And being able to become the leader of the peasant rebel army, He Yilong's mind would definitely not be stupid.After calming down, he already knew that his opinion was in the minority, so after pondering for a while, he took the initiative to say sincerely to He Jin: "My old He Jin family of seventeen, either starved to death or was killed. Now I am alone, so some words are a little too much, Brother He Jin, don't be angry after hearing this?"

Seeing that He Yilong took the initiative to admit his mistake, He Jin also quickly accepted He Yilong's kindness: "What did Brother He say? We are all surnamed He, and we can't write two words of congratulations in one stroke. What's the result? , Our brothers here are also advancing and retreating together. If anyone dares to do it alone, don't blame our brothers for turning their faces and denying others."

"Yeah!".The scene immediately eased up. (To be continued..)
