"Your mother, you don't think about good things. You'll be able to make a false reductive decision!"
Jin Shenghuan was furious when he learned that Zuo Liangyu wanted him and Ma Jinzhong to surrender Bai Wang as an insider to help him capture the four palaces of Xiangyang.
The cowardly anger accumulated over the years was vented all of them, and I don’t know how many tea cups and plates were smashed.
When Jin Shenghuan defected to Zuo Liangyu, he thought he could make a fortune and enjoy wealth and glory. Unexpectedly, Zuo Liangyu did not treat him as a confidant at all, and did not even let his troops station in Wuchang City.
This made Jin Shenghuan feel unacceptable.
Although he had been a thief, since he had already been right, he should be treated as an official army.
Why can Zuo Liangyu's own direct battalions spend money in Wuchang City? He has to eat dirt outside the city with his subordinates?
That's fine, but when military pay is distributed, Zuo Liangyu is treated differently, which makes Jin Shenghuan feel so humiliating.
Being a soldier eats food.
Everyone is a battalion soldier and puts his head on his belt. Isn’t it just for the one or two taels of silver I pay every month?
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, so why should he, Zuo Liangyu, deduct military pay?
As for armor and weapons, they are the things that an army needs the most.
Often, the combat effectiveness of an army is directly determined by these things.
Of course, Zuo Liangyu would not do too much and would not equip Jin Shenghuan's troops with armor and weapons at all. He would only equip the eliminated old armor and weapons to Jin Shenghuan's subordinates, and he could use it even if he could do it.
Although Jin Shenghuan was angry, he was mute and could not say anything about the pain, so he could only endure it.
But all this humiliation gradually accumulated, and it broke out completely after Zuo Liangyu ordered him to surrender as an internal supporter.
Damn, he wants the horse to run and not eat grass, and he thinks it’s beautiful!
Jin Shenghuan originally wanted to go directly to Zuo Liangyu to explain the matter clearly, but then he thought that this would be a breakup with Zuo Liangyu.
Although his troops were the most powerful in Zuo Liangyu's 36th battalion, the number of people was limited after all. If he really had a stumble, he would probably not be able to gain any advantage.
Jin Shenghuan knew very well that his arms could not resist his thighs.
Therefore, he was going to discuss with Ma Jinzhong how to act. If the two could unite, Zuo Liangyu would not dare to force him too much.
"Report to the Grand Marshal, General Ma is here to visit!"
When Jin Shenghuan was planning a countermeasure, his personal soldiers clasped their fists outside the tent and reported the story.
Jin Shenghuan Zhi was overjoyed and thought to himself, Lao Ma, you might as well be unable to calm down.
Immediately waved my hand and said, "Please invite General Ma in!"
Although Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong are both from Shaanxi, they have not been too close to each other before, they are just a little friendship.
Needless to say, Ma Jinzhong's sudden visit this time must be related to the fraudulent surrender.
Seeing Ma Jinzhong coming in with great enthusiasm, Jin Shenghuan immediately came forward, grabbed Ma Jinzhong's arm and greeted him, "Oh, old brother, what kind of wind blows you? You won't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing!"
Compared to Jin Shenghuan, Ma Jinzhong seems much taller.
He stood there like a small tower. Seeing Jin Shenghuan jumping up and down like a monkey, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart.
This guy is really a shame for the heroes of Shaanxi!
Although he was despised, Ma Jinzhong came to Jin Shenghuan to discuss countermeasures, so he naturally showed more enthusiasm on his face.
"Look at what General Jin said, uh, you are from Shaanxi, and you are the closest among the Huguang camps. When you encounter this, who else can you come to find if you don't come to find General Jin?"
Ma Jinzhong walked to the chair with his own heart and sat down with a golden knife.
Jin Shenghuan's eyes rolled around a few times, and he laughed: "What the old brother said is that our old Shaanxi is already excluded in this Chu. If we don't help each other, we won't let outsiders bully you to death!"
After saying that, Jin Shenghuan also sat down, picked up a cup of hot tea and blew it.
"Old brother, after that, why are you looking for um today?"
Jin Shenghuan had made up his mind and must let Ma Jinzhong propose it first.
In this way, he took the initiative and had more room to play.
Ma Jinzhong was not stupid, and thought to himself that this old fox really thought he was a coward? He has already come to the door with his own initiative. Why didn’t this guy take the initiative to cooperate with him?
If Jin Shenghuan was not his only partner, Ma Jinzhong really wanted to leave directly.
"Ahem, yes, no one can say secret words. If you don't come to find you a bucket of grain, can you really calm down?"
Seeing Ma Jinzhong calling him the nickname when he was a thief, Jin Shenghuan felt a little ugly, and his face suddenly looked a little ugly.
"Uh, you have all been thieves, and it's normal for being looked down upon by Grandmaster Zuo. But since Supervisor Zuo looks down on us, he shouldn't let us do this life-salary thing. You said yes, right?"
Jin Shenghuan didn't expect Ma Jinzhong to say it bluntly and smiled awkwardly: "Old brother is so quick-witted, but his words are rough but not rough. That's the reason."
Ma Jinzhong sneered in his heart, you little boy want to hold your forehead, he is very tender!
He turned over the tea cover, took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and sighed: "Shame down? It sounds nice, but you still push all the risks to the umbrellas? Then Bai Wang is a general under Li Chuang, with 70,000 or 80,000 elite soldiers under his command, so it is easy to deal with."
Ma Jinzhong’s concerns are not unreasonable.
Although his and Jin Shenghuan's troops combined have 70,000 to 80,000, their combat power is not comparable to that of Bai Wang's troops.
First of all, Zuo Liangyu was guarded against the two of them and did not treat them as their own lineage. He picked up the oldest and worst hair in the armor and weapons equipment.
Secondly, the quality of the soldiers under the two men is indeed not as good as Bai Wang's.
Although Li Zicheng is also a thief, he is a giant thief.
When Tongguan was defeated, Li Zicheng had only eighteen cavalry left by his side, all of whom could lurk in the mountains of Shangluo, and raise his pole to make a comeback.
What you rely on is naturally appeal, and the golden signboard of the King of Chuang!
And Jin Shenghuan and Ma Jinzhong are much inferior to Li Zicheng in this regard.
When they were the most proud of being thieves, they were just the role of a mountain king, and they were completely incomparable to Li Zicheng, who raised a banner to fight against the Emperor of the Zhu family.
In this case, their ability to recruit brothers was naturally much worse than Li Chuang.
There is no way, good birds choose trees to live in. Even if you are a thief, you have to choose the most promising family.
When Li Zicheng conquered Xiangyang, changed his name to Xiangjing, and established the Dashun regime here, and he managed it very carefully.
Even though he later defeated Sun Chuanting and entered Guanzhong, Li Zicheng handed over the 70,000 to 80,000 elite troops under his command to Bai Wang and asked him to guard the four prefectures.
It can be said that Bai Wang's army is the most powerful elite under Li Zicheng's command. If Bai Wang really finds out that the two of them are surrendering, the two sides fight head-on, Jin Shenghuan doesn't think he and Ma Jinzhong have much chance of winning.
