232, Zhang Xianzhong can't wait, Zhu Cihong begins to be impatient
In the temporary palace in Jiujiang City, Zhang Xianzhong is actually really busy.
What are you busy with? You are busy reorganizing the Western Army that have arrived one after another these days.
As a force with a weak foundation, Zhang Xianzhong's so-called recruitment is actually almost the same as catching a strong man. He held a knife on his neck and "invited" others to join the army. This is not a joke, but a real thing that actually happened in the territory controlled by Zhang Xianzhong.
This makes Zhang Xianzhong's army often have good quantity, but is very hydrated in quality.
This is also Li Zicheng's disadvantage, or the disadvantage of all the bandits.
It was not that Zhang Xianzhong had thought of a way to solve this problem. He wandered around in Henan, Hubei and Sichuan just to find a base that could allow him to control for a long time.
With a base, you can slowly train an elite army to realize your wish to conquer the world.
In order to achieve this goal, Zhang Xianzhong even chose to withdraw his troops without Li Dingguo's troops surrounding Nanjing City, hoping to divert the attention of the Ming court through such goodwill and delay the time of war with the Ming court.
Zhu Cixuan sent troops to slap Zhang Xianzhong hard in the face.
So now, Zhang Xianzhong is also planning to give Zhu Cilang a slap in the face.
"With three days, I will see all the troops gathered, then go out of the city to start a war, and drive the ridiculous little prince out of my territory. Do you understand?"
After the decision was expressed, some people raised doubts.
"Master, that young prince has never lost his achievements since he made his mark last year. Even Dorgon and Jirgalang cannot make any mistakes in his hands. Should we be more careful?"
"What do you know! I say I can win, then I will definitely win!"
Zhang Xianzhong's confidence is not blind, but the result he obtained after careful analysis.
In terms of elite combat effectiveness, Zhang Xianzhong had at least 30,000 veterans who fought with him all the way south and north, while Zhu Cixuan only brought three thousand princes' personal troops when he headed south.
In terms of overall number, Zhang Xianzhong has now assembled more than 100,000 soldiers in Jiujiang, while Zhu Cixuan's troops have not exceeded 50,000, not even half of Zhang Xianzhong's.
If you can lose all this, Zhang Xianzhong feels that the battle of this life will be in vain.
Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong is full of confidence!
A not too harmonious sound came to Zhang Xianzhong's ears.
"King, Your Highness Dingguo has written this letter and asked his subordinates to send it to you."
Zhang Xianzhong frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, but took the letter and continued to read.
As he read, Zhang Xianzhong's face obviously showed a disappointed expression, and he grouped the letter into a ball and threw it directly into the garbage can next to him.
"I'm foolish!"
In the letter, Li Dingguo repeatedly emphasized the power of the Ming army's musketeers, believing that the most important thing the Daxi Army should do now is to defend Jiujiang City and wait until the Ming army retreats on its own.
This is undoubtedly a very harsh noise for Zhang Xianzhong, who has decided to go to the battle.
Zhang Xianzhong said coldly: "From today on, I don't want to hear any news related to him, do you understand?"
Zhang Xianzhong felt that after the war ended, it was necessary to educate Li Dingguo well.
If Li Dingguo could wake up, Zhang Xianzhong could of course leave his past without any consequences.
If Li Dingguo is stubborn... Humph, he is just an adopted son, can Zhang Xianzhong find another successor?
Zhang Xianzhong breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself.
"Three days... In another three days, I will focus the whole world's attention!"
"Three days? No, I can't wait for a day now. It's too torture." This is what Zhu Cilang said to Fang Gonggan.
Fang Gonggan was a little amused and crying: "Your Highness, wasn't you said before? You have to wait for Zhang Xianzhong to take the initiative."
Zhu Cilang pinched his chin and said, "I did say this, but the problem is that Zhang Xianzhong is now a turtle in Jiujiang City every day."
Since the sign-in task given by the system needs to be triggered outside Wuchang City, based on previous experience, this should be the first time Zhu Cixuan independently commanded a war without the help of the system.
To be honest, Zhu Cilang is under a lot of pressure.
One bad thing is that the lives of 50,000 soldiers and the fate of the people of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangnan will be completely changed.
Under pressure, Zhu Cilang inevitably became a little impatient.
Gao Dejie said on the side: "Your Highness, according to our scout's reward, Zhang Xianzhong has been constantly rectifying the army and fleet these days, and he should be on the attack soon."
Zhu Ciyang nodded and said, "But General Gao, can you give me a correct letter?"
Of course, he can't give up the high quarrel, because he is not the worm in Zhang Xianzhong's belly.
Zhu Cixuan sighed and said, "So, we should take the initiative and not wait for everything passively. Can't we have to accompany Zhang Xianzhong here if Zhang Xianzhong doesn't leave the city for a day?"
Zhu Cilang felt a sense of urgency in his heart, especially after coming to Jiangnan, which became even stronger.
In the north and the Central Plains, countless people were displaced due to war and their families were destroyed.
In Jiangnan, there is still a prosperous scene of singing and dancing. Even Nanjing, which had just been besieged, has recovered its vitality after just one winter.
Why do people from the same country have such a life of two different heavens due to different regions?
He wants to correct all this as soon as possible.
No matter what he is, Zhang Xianzhong or Li Zicheng, as long as he is a person who harms the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty, he must die!
After hearing Zhu Cilang's thoughts, the important figures in front of him were silent.
Fang Gonggan suddenly stood up and said, "Please rest assured, your highness, let the people from the East Factory send a message, so that the territory controlled by Zhang Xianzhong will be in chaos within ten days!"
Gao Dejie also stood up and said seriously: "Please rest assured, your highness, I will train the soldiers now, and we must let the musketeers fight Zhang Xianzhong's thief army in the best condition!"
After Fang, Gao and the other two left, Zhu Cilang also smiled on his face and looked at Shi Kefa who had not left yet: "Sir Shi, you are ready, and you should be able to take over Jiujiang soon."
After Shi Kefa nodded, he asked Zhu Ciyang: "Are those of you just the heartfelt words of your highness? Or is it just a saying that Your Highness wants to speed up the progress of the war?"
Zhu Cilang smiled slightly, leaving Shi Kefa with an unfathomable back.
Shi Kefa suddenly shrugged for a moment.
"Your Highness, after all, he is still a young Highness!"
