Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

After darkness comes light.

The Ming Dynasty has been passed down for more than two hundred years, and problems of one kind or another will inevitably arise. The lower-class groups who have been oppressed and exploited deeply long for a holy king to descend from the Ming Dynasty and kill the scum who oppressed them. All.

Despite all the injustices in Ming Dynasty, many people are still willing to support Ming Dynasty's recognition of ruling the world, even in the fifth year of Apocalypse.

Within Changping Prefecture.

"Huang Youqi, our troops have been stationed here for several days, and so far we have not found the whereabouts of Zhao Ni's troops. Could Zhao Ni have fled elsewhere?"

In a temporary camp, Lu Xiangsheng frowned, stared at Huang Degong with a solemn expression, and said in a low voice: "I don't have much time left to wait. If Zhao Ni really leads his troops to flee elsewhere, I will not be able to deal with him again." If other places in the capital are threatened, we will not be able to see His Majesty."

"Logically speaking, it shouldn't be."

Huang Degong, who gripped the handle of the knife tightly, faced Lu Xiangsheng's gaze and said: "In the past few days, it has been spread that our troops sent food and salary to the guards of the tombs in Tianshou Mountain. As long as Zhao Ni has eyes in Changping and knows the movements of our troops, it is impossible for him to do anything." If you are not moved, who would not be moved after knowing the food and salary for the tens of thousands of people in the imperial guards?"

"Now I am a little suspicious."

Lu Xiangsheng expressed his worries, "I am afraid that among the tomb guards in Tianshou Mountain, there must be people who are secretly communicating with Zhao Ni. They have sensed something, so there has been no movement for a long time."

"That's impossible."

Huang Degong's eyes slightly opened with a look of surprise, "They are all hereditary guards. What benefit can secretly communicating with Zhao Ni do to them?"

"There are many benefits."

Lu Xiangsheng said seriously: "Where is Tianshou Mountain? Anything there can be sold for a lot of money if sold privately."

At first, Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to believe this situation in his heart, but since he joined the army in the encirclement and suppression, everything Xiong Tingbi told him came true, so Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to believe it.

Zhao Ni, who calls himself the Heavenly King, was able to travel all the way from Shanxi for several years without being surrounded and suppressed by the government or garrisons along the way. This can already prove that there is an ulterior motive behind Zhao Ni. The secret!

Lu Xiangsheng, who has been an official in Beijing, although he knows some local situations, what he knows is by no means everything. However, Xiong Tingbi knows very well and has even been calculated against more than once.

The bustle in the world comes because of profit, and the hustle and bustle in the world all goes away because of profit.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has long been corrupted by the atmosphere of party struggle. Corruption has become common from the central government to the local governments. Those who seek power for personal gain have long since lost fear. Even in order to protect their own interests, they will not even damage the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule. No hesitation at all!

This is the root cause of Ming's frequent defeats in Liaodong.

This is the reason why Ming Dynasty frequently failed in Sichuan and Guizhou!

"If that's the case, then they are very brave."

Huang Degong pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "For the current plan, our troops can only divide our troops. If nothing else, it will be difficult to sustain the encirclement and suppression if the food and grass we carry are exhausted."

"We can't divide our troops!"

Lu Xiangsheng was startled and looked at Huang Degong and said: "The personal guards are not moving at the moment, but no one can guarantee whether they will be as stable as they are now after the troops are divided."

What frightened Lu Xiangsheng was not that Huang Degong proposed to divide the troops, but that Xiong Tingbi made it clear before he did not join the army in the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, Xiong Tingbi also emphasized that no matter what situation he faced, he must not divide his troops to clear out Zhao Ni's troops, otherwise the battle would be defeated!

As for how to resolve the matter, Xiong Tingbi did not propose at all.

Now Lu Xiangsheng truly understood that this was Xiong Tingbi's test for him. In name, he was asked to accompany the army and be responsible for escorting grain and grass, but in fact, he was made to know the difficulty of commanding the army!

"If we don't divide our troops, are we going to continue to waste our troops?"

Huang Degong stretched out his hand and said: "Co-ordinator Lu, don't forget, we are following His Majesty's decree to clear out Zhao Ni. We had underestimated Zhao Ni before. I also know that there are too many risks in dividing our troops to carry out the clearing. But what needs to be done must still be done.”

"I've thought about it all."

"The personal guard servants under my personal control will be under the personal control of Coordinator Lu. They are trustworthy. The remaining personal guard servants will be under my personal control..."

But the more Huang Degong talked, the more complicated Lu Xiangsheng's mood became.

Because what Xiong Tingbi said before was constantly reappearing in Lu Xiangsheng's mind at this moment.

"As a commander of an army, the most difficult thing is to be unable to intimidate the generals under his command, especially the arrogant generals who are eager to perform meritorious service. Once this phenomenon spreads in the army, no matter how many illustrious military exploits have been previously achieved, it will be difficult to defeat them. Escape and be defeated!"

"No matter how big or small the army is, the most taboo thing is for different voices to appear. If, as the coach, you can't suppress other voices and show your own voice, you will still be unable to escape defeat!"

"War is not like visiting a brothel. You just want to get in and out. You have to know how to observe and understand people's hearts. If you can't understand these things, then you will never be able to lead an army well in your life..."

It was also at this moment that Lu Xiangsheng suddenly understood that there were many things he did not understand before. The difficulties and challenges faced by Xiong Tingbi, the assistant manager of the military affairs of the Beijing camp, were far simpler than he thought.

Xiong Tingbi's various actions in the Beijing camp in the past seemed to be desperate choices, but in fact they were disguised as well-thought-out choices! !

"I am opposed to the division of troops!!"

Also thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes were firm and he interrupted what Huang Degong said, "It is indeed our duty to purge Zhao Ni according to the order, but this is by no means a reason for us to advance rashly."

"Since the previously planned strategy failed, we will think of another good strategy. Huang Guerrilla, you know better than anyone else that once the troops are divided, if there is a mutiny, the harm will be far greater than that of Zhao Ni who is on the run!"

"Report!!!"

Just when Huang Degong wanted to refute, a voice sounded outside the main tent, which made Lu Xiangsheng and Huang Degong follow the sound, and saw a Ye Bushou rushing into the tent, with an extremely serious expression: "Guerrilla! In the Tianshou Mountain area If traces of Zhao Ni's troops are found, they may want to plunder Tianshou Mountain!"

"Someone is coming!! Beat the drum!!!"

Huang Degong couldn't hide his surprise and shouted immediately.

"Wait a moment."

But under such a situation, Lu Xiangsheng frowned and interrupted.

"Co-organizer Lu, what do you want to do?"

Huang Degong frowned and said: "Zhao Ni's troops appeared in the Tianshou Mountain area, as if..."

"It may not be that simple."

Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and said: "If I guess correctly, this may be Zhao Nisheng's plan to attack the east and the west!!"
