Assassinate Niu Jinxing!

At the beginning of the establishment of the Hu Ben Army, it received such an important task.

Who is Niu Jinxing? The important counselor around Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng's success can be said to be a success or failure of Niu Jinxing.

Niu Jinxing was a juren in the seventh year of the Tianqi period and was skilled in strategy. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Niu Jinxing was falsely accused of resisting taxes and occupying 18 women because of accusation of quarrels. He was "injured" and was dismissed from the juren and served as a military officer in the Lu family.

In the winter of the 13th year of Chongzhen, Li Yan introduced Li Zicheng under the curtain and suggested that "kill less punishment, relieve hungry people, and win people's hearts" be a major contribution to Li Zicheng's regime. In the first month of the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng established the Dashun regime in Xi'an. Niu Jinxing was appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Tianyou Hall. He was one of the few literati in the rebellion army. Niu also recommended the military advisor Song Xiance. Niu Jinxing was narrow-minded. After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he used the prime minister to take power. Niu Jinxing was keen on the etiquette of the ascension and taught the ceremony of the ascension, and constantly persuaded Li Zicheng to enter the pass, creating an excuse for Wu Sangui to lead the Qing army into the pass.

The defeated Li Zicheng led the remnants back to Beijing and ordered the killing of more than 30 Wu Xiang's family. Under the planning of Niu Jinxing and others, Li Zicheng ascended the throne in the Wuying Hall of Ming Palace. Niu Jinxing sacrificed to the sky on behalf of Li Zicheng at the Temple of Heaven. The next day, he fled from Beijing. On the way, Niu Jinxing slandered Li Yan, which caused the morale of the rebel army to be dispersed, and Song Xiance ran away.

In other words, Niu Jinxing was introduced to Li Zicheng by Li Yan. Li Yan himself did not join the army of the thieves, and Niu Jinxing was still alone at this time.

The first mission of the Hu Ben Army is to assassinate Niu Jinxing.

Since Zhu Cilang came to the Ming Dynasty at this time point at the beginning of the 13th year of Chongzhen, he had seen the Terminator, and Zhu Cilang was organizing a Skynet.

This skynet is to take advantage of the fact that Li Zicheng was not yet big, and either win over his right-hand man for his own use or kill him directly.

Li Yan values ​​love and righteousness. Such a person will be extremely loyal once he is recruited. Niu Jinxing does have his talents, but Zhu Cilang cannot see through this kind of person. It is extremely dangerous to stay by his side if he cannot see through. Even if he cannot use it for himself, he will definitely kill him!

The next task was the eight people with the most outstanding capabilities of the Hu Ben Army. The assassination group led by Zhan Yunpeng and Linghu Yunlong, they disguised themselves as they left the capital and headed straight for Lu's County.

Why did I go to Lushi County? At this time, Niu Jinxing had been dismissed from the juren and served as a military officer in the Lushi County? It is not difficult to find a servant in Lushi County.

Although Li Zicheng was both the leader of the peasant uprising, he and Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang were not at the same level at all. Li Zicheng was short-sighted and lacked a view of the overall situation and had no strategic vision. His own problems were an important reason for his failure, but the lack of a strategist group was also a flaw of the rebel army.

There are four main counselors around Li Zicheng, namely Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance, Li Yan and Gu Junen. Among them, Niu Jinxing is the most famous.

This is like a domino. Li Yan recommended Niu Jinxing, Niu Jinxing recommended Song Xiance, and Gu Junen finally joined the gang. He cut off the firewood from the cauldron and cut off the way Li Yan joined the gang, and the few people behind him had no way to recommend it.

The Han Dynasty established Lu's County. According to the "Reading History and Fangyu Ji": "The Han Dynasty was the first to establish Lu's County because Lu Ao was immortal." Lu Ao was a doctor of the Qin Dynasty, and there was Lu Ao Cave on the south bank of the Luo River in the east of Lu's County.

Lu's County is located at the junction of Henan and Shaanxi. At this time, Lu's County was looted by Li Zicheng's bandits, and the county town was in a mess. Eight or nine out of ten wealthy families in the city were killed, and the former county magistrate was also hung at the gate of the city for more than two months. It was not until the new magistrate Mei Yan took office that the county corps in Chengzhong was reorganized.

At this time, Niu Jinxing had the opportunity to show his strength. He was a juren who was falsely accused and sent to Lushi County as a servant. This servant did not refer to the official servant in the official office, but to work as a servant for free for the government.

From a high-ranking juren to a servant who was forced to work for the government for free. For Niu Jinxing's life, the contrast is huge.

The bandits cause rebellion because they belong to the oppressed class. Therefore, Niu Jinxing was not implicated. The bandits all robbed the big ones, and who would rob him of Niu Jinxing, who was poor and careless?

After the bandits rampant and looted Lu's County, the newly appointed magistrate Mei Yan reorganized the leadership team in the city. However, the wealthy and wealthy businessmen were killed and killed and fled. There were not many people like Niu Jinxing who read and read.

Niu Jinxing was actually a juren before, so the magistrate Mei Yan asked Niu Jinxing to be a magistrate in Lushi County. The Ming Dynasty was the introverted and brewing stage of the magistrate, but the role of the magistrate in government affairs was not mentioned in the Ming Dynasty government documents. The magistrate was not an official, but a subordinate hired by officials in private, and the salary was not paid by the court, but the magistrate who hired him was taken out of his own income.

Although the master is not organized by the court, he has great power. After all, as a magistrate's aide, the magistrate listens to the master's advice.

Niu Jinxing, who became a master, was very prosperous and helped Mei Yan rectify Lu's county. The wealthy businessmen were killed and their family wealth was looted by bandits. However, the families of those wealthy families were still there, and they all curled up with the new magistrates in order to protect themselves.

Although bandits kill people and rob people of wealthy families, bandits are afraid that officers and soldiers will encircle and suppress them. They usually buy one place and change it to another place after robbing them. The wealth can be taken away, and the land of those rich families is still there.

After all, the big families who were looted were thin camels larger than horses. When Mei Yan took office, these big families immediately curled up. Officials and businessmen colluded with officials to protect each other, and they began to try their best to plunder the poor people.

In this way, Niu Jinxing is a genius. He quickly became a traitor with the wealthy families in Lushi County. He tried different ways to continue to exploit the poor people.

After staying in the capital for a long time, Zhan Yunpeng, Linghu Yunlong and others left the capital and headed south. At the beginning, they didn't realize anything, but the journey became more and more shocking.

The official road was filled with white bones, and nine out of ten families along the way were empty. It was a miracle that the Ming Dynasty had not yet destroyed the country.

In fact, the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the revelation were not unreasonable, but it was just a final struggle in Chongzhen's hands.

The eight people did not dare to stop at all on the road, and went south through Kaifeng and turned to Zhengzhou. They did not dare to go to Luoyang. At this time, Li Zicheng's army fled west and was said to have arrived in the Luoyang area.

They turned to continue to move south, whipping through Xuchang, turning westward, and heading straight for Lushi County.

Along the way, eight people rode fast horses, and naturally they met many sluts. Three bandits and two bandits were all broken into the hands of these eight people. It has to be said that the Tiger Army trained by Zhu Cilang is really not a big deal.
