Expressing your mind

A person like Li Si doesn't care about his achievements at all. As for the so-called great reputation, he regards it as a waste. With Li Si's current prestige and the current strength of his army, he wants to do a new industry. Who can stop him from doing it?

So there is no saying that you retire to the mountains and forests after you become successful, so you have never said half of the words "Smile, Proud Linquan and the countryside to accompany you."

"Uncle Fourth has never said he would retire to the mountains and forests, right?"

Ezi's unintentional words immediately made Princess Changping look like earth and fall into the abyss.

The current loyal Bo, whether it is strength or prestige, is far from comparable to the loose Jiangnan Xiaochao. Especially now, the situation is becoming more and more obvious. Even the Manchu Tatars, with strong troops and majestic horses, are also on the verge of division. As long as the army goes to the death defeats any of the forces of all Manchuria, or even once there is another decent victory, they can drive straight in. The recovery of Beidu is just a natural thing.

At that time, the court not only had no merit, but even the country was restored by Li Si, so it could no longer be controlled to kill the troops.

After defeating the Tartars, whether it was Li Si himself or the army he went to die, even the people's forces would tend to be unified in the world. This is a necessary path for all dynasties.

There are only two ways for the imperial court to "unify" the army to die and the loyal boss:

One is to reduce the vassal states, and the two sides fought fiercely, attacking each other, and distinguishing themselves from military level.

Under such circumstances, the court had no chance of winning against the army to fight for the death. The dynasty's dynasty was a lesson for the past. The situation between Chengzu and Emperor Jianwen was very similar to today.

The most feasible method is the second method: follow the means of Emperor Taizu of Song and release the military power with a glass of wine.

By then, no matter what kind of reward is given, it would be a good thing that can be sold to the king side by side. As long as Li Sizhen disbanded the army to the death as he said, even if the court rewarded the sea of ​​gold and silver, his eyebrows would not frown.

In this way, all the wars were eliminated invisible, and everyone was happy. The Ming Dynasty was still passed down and continued. Emperor Xingwu became the real lord of Zhongxing and became the first king of Taizu. Such a situation was the result that the entire Xingwu court most expected and hoped for, but there must be a prerequisite.

This premise is that Li Si himself was boundless to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. He was willing to give up when he could ascend to the position of the Nine Five Lords, willing to disband the world's most powerful soldier, and willing to hand over the rights in his hands.

In that situation, even if Li Si was ten times more loyal to the Ming Dynasty than Grandpa Yue, would the arrogant soldiers and generals under his command be willing? Will the army to die be disbanded?

Not only did Li Si himself need to be loyal to the court, but he also needed to suppress the entire army to die with his own prestige. This was equivalent to the loyalty of Bo He and the army to die with his side on an opposing level.

In this world, the only person who can suppress the death army is Li Si.

If Li Si really planned to retire successfully, he would definitely place the troops to die. The problem is that Li Si never said that he would do this.

Princess Changping's heart suddenly sank, and she already knew the final answer.

As long as Li Si himself does not want to retreat, rebellion is the only way out.

It seemed as if I had seen the sun and moon blood flag flying at the Nandu city with my own eyes, and the country passed down by Emperor Taizu had come to an end!

"I have retired to the mountains and forests, and the fourth uncle has never said, what's good about the mountains? Why do I have to go to the mountains?" Ezi also wondered why Princess Changping came to ask this very "naive" question: "The fourth uncle said that when the war is over, the Tartars leave, and the people are happy, so he will return to Daoba Village. My father and mother, and I will take care of a few fields, plant some watermelons, etc...."

For Ezi, the difference between retreating to the mountains and planting watermelons is a big difference, but for Princess Changping, it is completely the same.

When she heard Ezi say this, her mood that had fallen to the bottom of the valley immediately rose, as if she heard the most wonderful news in the world. Princess Changping grabbed Ezi's hands: "Sister Ezi, Zhongxin Uncle... Your fourth uncle really said this? Do you really want to plant watermelons?"

"I really said that I told me, and I also told my father..."

"Are you sure? Sister, are you sure the handsome man said this? I thought it through carefully..."

No matter how stupid Ezi was, seeing Princess Changping's eager expression, she realized that it was not just about growing watermelons: "Your Highness, what are you asking about this? What are my fourth uncle doing if you plant watermelons or not?"

When we all asked this critical point, we had to know the final answer if we said anything.

"This matter is very important, well, very important..." Princess Changping also showed the biggest temptation for Ezi: "Sister Ezi, hurry up and think about it. Has Zhongcheng Bo really said about growing watermelons? If Zhongcheng Bo can go back to the knife village to grow watermelons... The court... I... what are my conditions..."

Princess Changping no longer cares about words: "I will return to the palace and never see the loyal Bo again. I will ask the court to marry Ezi. The marriage between the Grand Marshal and Ezi is given by the court. The glory here... Your father, your mother, and everyone else can't stop you from getting married. Have you ever thought about it?"

"Really?" Ezi's eyes were shining.

"Really, I will never go back on my word!"

"Then I will tell you," Ezi said seriously: "When the Fourth Uncle first came to the Daoba Village, Li Chuang was still in Henan when he took it. My Fourth Uncle had said that the world must be in chaos, and it would be in chaos. Only the extraordinary heroes can use extraordinary means to restore it, otherwise it would not be the destruction of the Ming Dynasty but the destruction of the world..."

This is the first time Princess Changping learned about Li Si’s true mental journey in the early days.

Li Si, who was just a slut at that time, had such a far-reaching gaze. Not only did he see Li Chuang's "destroy the Ming Dynasty" when he broke into the capital, but he also saw the "destroy the world" when the Tartars entered the pass. Such profound thoughts and the scheming that had been silently preparing, now it is like a god to think about it.

His strategic vision and insight into the world's general trend are as clear as the lines on his palm. Such a deep and distant calculation means that if you have any thoughts about the court now, even if it is not included in the outstanding combat power of the army to die, who else in the world can compete with it?

He rescued the prince and other former emperors from the millions of chaos, and then led the crowd to go around until today's situation. Now, when I think about it, all the things here were prepared by the loyal master in the morning.

Ezi seemed to have returned to the hot evening in early summer, as if she remembered the green apricots stuffed into Uncle Fourth's mouth. Even the look of Uncle Fourth's teeth being sore in the green apricots was right in front of her: "I didn't believe the fourth uncle at that time, how could the world die? But now I believe it, I can't believe it anymore..."

Not to mention Li Si's personal prestige, just this far-reaching gaze makes people shudder when I think about it. Whether it is Li Chuang's millions of thieves or the 100,000 cavalry in Manchuria, even if it is the orthodox Ming Dynasty of Xingwu Dynasty, who can compare with it? No matter which side, in the position of Li Si's opponent, he will definitely lose.

Princess Changping held her breath and let Ezi recall the events of the past with happiness, and she did not dare to interrupt a word: "At that time, my fourth uncle told me and my brother that the court was powerless to turn the world, and no one could count on it, and could only rely on himself. Isn't it that I hoped it! The fourth uncle didn't rely on anyone but the power of a person, and created this world..."

Ezi was a little excited when she said that, and asked Princess Changping with her head tilted, "Your Highness, tell me, is the Fourth Uncle a great hero?"

"The heroes in the world are the most loyal." This sentence is not intentionally making Ezi happy, but a fact that everyone has to admit.

"My fourth uncle said that the world is about to change, there are as many heroes as slaves, and... I still have a lot of things now. However, the fourth uncle finally said that when the world is better and all slaves are dead, the heroes should go home and pick up hoes. At that time, the fourth uncle said that he would open a few acres of land in the Knife Village, grow some watermelons, etc., and ask my father to teach him the ability to grow dry tobacco..."

"Say it!" Princess Changping finally knew the final answer.

Zhongsheng Bo will not rebel, at least he is not interested in the throne or something. As for the rest, it is no longer important. Not to mention that Li Si just wants to grow some watermelons, even if he grows golden beans, it doesn’t matter.

From this point of view, Zhongcheng Bo had long expected the situation today. No matter how dangerous the general situation was, it was always under the control of Li Si. If he kept following what he expected, the time for the world to be settled will be when Li Si retired.

The only concern is that the court should not do stupid things to force loyal Boss.

If there is a minister like Li Si who is stronger than the court, the court will definitely have suspicion. This is an eternal truth. He will even do all kinds of things such as reducing the vassal states or restraining them. In this way, only the aggressive Li Si will change his original established strategy...

From beginning to end, no matter what the army was thinking about, Zhongsheng Bo himself solemnly expressed his admiration for the "people-oriented" strategy of the court, although it was just a kind of reserved and cautious optimism. But he also said in person that "as long as the court can realize the people-oriented, he must take refuge."

With Princess Changping's eyes, it is naturally impossible to see the profound meaning behind this people-oriented style. But even everyone admires Li Si's strategy so much, which shows that this people-oriented style is extremely powerful.

Princess Changping already knows what to do.

As the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty and the oldest descendant of Emperor Chongzhen of the Great History, Princess Changping was crying with joy at this moment.

"I know, I know everything." Princess Changping no longer had any reserve and quietness, and kept laughing to the sky: "Haha, the old emperor knew people so much that he was so. The importance of entrusting his own country was indeed the most wisest decision in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. Today, I know the wisdom of the old emperor, haha..."

The princess who had always laughed at her teeth suddenly laughed like this, but instead scared Ezi: "What are you... laughing at? Are you so angry about your highness? I..."

"I'm not angry, haha, I've never been so happy. Sister Ezi, don't worry, I want to give you a good thing to you even with the royal face..."

Ezi didn't understand what was wrong with this princess, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. Why did she laugh so happily? Are you crazy about losing your heart?

Princess Changping, who was laughing, took a few palace servants out of the Lu family. Only then did Ezi remember something and threw out the silk handkerchief that had been rubbed in her hand far away: "I don't care if you give it back to you..."

"Haha..." Princess Changping didn't care about Ezi's obvious hostility, but just kept laughing.

...

In Kaifeng.

Kaifeng has now become the core of the entire northern resistance force, not only the strength of the army to die, but also the impact on the north of the Yellow River.

The Army of Death repeatedly emphasized that as long as it is a resistance force, no matter what its identity was in the past, it is the most natural ally of the Army of Death. Moreover, this alliance does not need to be recognized by the resistance force, but is completely and unilaterally recognized.

No matter where you come from, no matter whether you were a bandit or an official army before, as long as you are resisting the Tartars or even just causing trouble for the Tartars, you are an ally of the Dead Army. Even if you do not recognize the ally of the Dead Army, the Dead Army and the Loyal Bo himself will unconditionally recognize your ally.

This thing is amazing.

Especially this alliance has been throughout the Seven Killing Order, and it has become the core idea of ​​the army to die.

No matter what kind of resistance force is, the army to die can provide unconditional support. If you are short of money, as long as you contact the army to die, the loyal Bohui will send someone to send gold, silver and money. If you are short of people, the elite soldiers in the army to die will provide unconditional support. Even if you are not short of money and lack of people, you can even do it alone. As long as you have an envoy, the army to die will send elite soldiers in the army to provide combat guidance, or even provide force support, and do not participate in command at all, so there will be no concerns about seizing power or being annexed by the army to die.

This is not the most important thing. What is most convincing is that even if you are completely wiped out, there is no value that can be used. The army to die will avenge you at all costs, and rescue your family members at all costs, and retain the seeds of resistance.

As long as they are fighting the Tartars or resisting, no matter what kind of forward-looking and worrying, they will be punished by the army that will die.

Zhongshengbo and his army to die were not only fighting the Tartars, but also exporting resistance ideas, escorting all resistance forces and handling everything behind them.

"You try to touch your hair? Since you dare to rebel, you are not afraid of today." The leader of the rebel army far away in the Gujiao of Shanxi was still unafraid of facing the butcher knife of the Qing army on the execution ground after being captured: "Today you have passed the first day of the first day of the year, tomorrow you will be the fifteenth day of Zhongcheng. Today you have taken one life, and tomorrow you will be the ten lives of your life. If you dare to move, the women and children in the family will go to the death army to destroy your ten clans, and even the ancestral tombs are dug open. Do you believe it?"

This is definitely not an empty threat or an endless threat, but a real curse and desire to speak.

On New Year's Eve, as the New Year is approaching, the trembling New Army of Gujiao murdered more than 100 captured rebels, and there was no intention to celebrate the New Year? He was so scared.

But what else can I do if I don’t kill him? But it’s all the orders from the top. I just hope that the anti-traitor group or the Qikang camp that is close to me will not cause trouble for small fish and shrimps like me. Destroying the ten clans and digging the ancestral graves is definitely not just a big talk. Ning is not far away? He just killed and caused trouble and rebelled, and did not even leave for half a month. In just one night, the army to die came to take revenge. Whether it was an order or a move, as long as it was a massacre, it would kill a chicken or a dog without leaving any trouble, and even the body was hung on the tree. The four bloody words "not not to revenge" scared several of the yamen runners in the county.

Half of the executioners who had put the knife escaped overnight, and half of them could not escape, so they moved quickly.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the remaining Gujiao Rebel Army arrived in Kaifeng and was received by high-standard reception by the army to die. When these broken remaining soldiers said that after the massacre of Gujiao, the fearful general of the Tartars, who was so famous all over the world, left the words: "The Seven Killing Warriors are on their way to Gujiao..."

The remaining rebels of the Gujiao Jiao were moved and cried.

Taking advantage of this moment, the army to die issued the first clear order for the New Year and spread it through various channels: "For the brothers of life and death of the army to die, the rebels from all over the country specially told the Qing people and the officials and people of the Qing Dynasty that one of the brothers who hurt my brothers and ten related ones. One of the ones who hurt my family, regardless of men, women, young and old, will destroy the ten clans. They will repay them a hundred times, and those who are less than a hundred times will be filled with the same surname..."

Faced with the suppression and massacre of the rebel army by the Qing army in various places, the army to die adopted a bloodier massacre, and made this massacre clear and digitized, and would never give up until it reached a certain number.

Such bloody clamor for massacre once again raised the Seven Killing Order to the highest strategic height.

In order to achieve this goal, while the rebels in various places were in full swing, the aftermath of the dead army was also emerging one after another. Only when the rebels failed, the Seven Killing Camp or the Anti-Traitor Group immediately appeared.

The anti-traitor group is no longer a simple soldier. There are many women and elderly people who are eager to take revenge, which makes people unable to guard against. It is impossible to say that a vegetable vendor is a revenge devil with a killing weapon, or a ragged beggar who is also a devil who takes human life...

In order to implement this clear and undefined revenge order, all of them were used to assassinate, explosion, poisoning and other incredible cruel means. Even the famous jade-breaking tactics were taken out without mercy. Faced with ten times the killing, and the bloody one hundred times the bloody one. This indiscriminate massacre shocked the Qing army in the local area to a large extent and preserved many seeds of resistance.

While the war was blooming everywhere, both the anti-traitor group and the Seven Killing Camp paid a considerable price. How many heroes turned into a blood mist in the trembling explosion, and how many heroes returned to heaven.

The results that can be achieved are also obvious.

Even if the rebels fail, the local government will not dare to touch their relatives and families. The means of relying on bloody shock to suppress them seems pale in the face of greater blood.

The Qing people in the local area were all Han people, and they had to consider their future when massacre. Whether it was the jade-burning of the anti-traitor group or the Shocking Thorns who died of the Seven Killings, they were not so easy to dodge, so they tried to be as gentle as possible when they started.

This undoubtedly brought the rebel resistance to a great climax.
To be continued...
