Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    He is about to leave the land of the Ming Dynasty, and he may die outside.  I don¡¯t know when this sentiment began to spread among Li Zicheng¡¯s soldiers, and I don¡¯t know who started it. Anyway, the closer we get to the Great Wall, the slower everyone moves.

    Finally, when they were at the foot of the Great Wall, one of his subordinates said to Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, many soldiers are in a very low mood. They miss their hometown. It is not good to continue like this. We are here to fight. We have already lost the momentum in this way."  How can we still fight after scoring three points?"

    Li Zicheng naturally knew this truth. It is human nature to miss his hometown and he should not be too harsh. But now the situation is more complicated and there is no way to retreat. He said: "Let brothers communicate, we are here for  Everyone should feel honored to go to war to ensure the stability of the people. When the time comes, the stability of the country will be our contribution. What a good thing that is. And it¡¯s not like we won¡¯t come back. Let everyone calm down and focus on the things in front of them.  , don¡¯t be distracted at this time, you must know that not only the Tatars are our enemies, but Zhang Lei is too.¡±

    The subordinate nodded and said, "I know what should be done. I'll go down and make arrangements."

    "Go." Li Zicheng said. Inadvertently, he saw Jiang Yuyang walking towards him. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't know what he was doing here at this time.  When they got closer, before Li Zicheng could say anything, Jiang Yuyang said: "Our master, please invite King Chuang to come over. He said that he has something important to discuss, and King Chuang must make time for him."

    "I'm free now. Let's go there now. I wonder what Mr. Zhang is planning to discuss with me?" Li Zicheng agreed.

    Jiang Yuyang was naturally very happy when he heard that he could go there now. He didn't want to stay in this place. The soldiers here looked at him as if he were an enemy. If eyes could kill, they would probably kill Jiang Yuyang.  Revenge for those brothers who died at his hands.

    "I wonder what Mr. Zhang is planning to do when he calls me over at this time?" The two of them walked on the road.  Li Zicheng asked. In fact, he also had a problem that he wanted to talk to Zhang Lei, but he didn't know how to contact Zhang Lei because he was not sure whether he could invite Zhang Lei.

    Jiang Yuyang said: "In recent times, as we go further and further north, the soldiers seem to be less and less willing to move forward, because we are about to step outside the customs. It is no longer a land we are familiar with, so everyone misses their hometown.  The situation is very serious, and if it goes on for a long time, it may be very detrimental to us, so Mr. Zhang appointed me to come over and ask you to discuss how to deal with this matter."

    After hearing what Jiang Yuyang said, Li Zicheng felt happy. It seemed that the same situation had occurred in Zhang Lei's army.  It's not just my side that's like this.  On the surface, he remained calm and said, "So that's it. This issue should be discussed carefully."

    The two chatted incessantly. Li Zicheng deliberately directed the topic towards what he wanted to know. Jiang Yuyang didn't realize that Li Zicheng was making false statements. Naturally, he knew everything and kept talking, which made Li Zicheng curse in his heart.  He is stupid.

    Zhang Lei stood outside his tent.  From a distance, he saw Li Zicheng coming here with his guards, and Jiang Yuyang next to him was still talking to him.  Seeing this scene, Zhang Lei couldn't help but smile. Ask, ask, ask everything you want to know. Knowing some things is more sad than not knowing.

    When Li Zicheng came to him, Zhang Lei pretended to be worried and said hurriedly: "King Chuang is here. There is something I need to discuss with you. This issue is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly, so we are in such a hurry.  If I invite you over, I won¡¯t delay you, right?¡±

    "No, no, what you want to say is the issue of the soldiers longing to return home?" Li Zicheng thought he had a plan in mind, and as soon as Zhang Lei's words fell, he immediately took over and said.

    Zhang Lei¡¯s eyes widened.  He said with some surprise: "How did King Chuang know that I wanted to tell you this?"

    Li Zicheng also frowned and said, "Because there is also such a problem in our army. I don't know what to do. I was about to ask you to come over to discuss it, and I saw him coming to see me." He pointed out  Pointed at Jiang Yuyang.

    Zhang Lei glanced at Jiang Yuyang.  Said: "Since this is the case, I don't need to say more about the situation. Let's get down to the topic and discuss how to deal with the current situation."

    Li Zicheng agreed, and Zhang Lei ordered everyone to gather outside and not allow anyone to come near. Only he and Li Zicheng entered the tent. The furnishings inside were very simple, with only a table and a few chairs. Zhang Lei invited Li Zicheng to sit down.  , and then said:"At the beginning, I thought that this situation would only happen in our army. After all, my soldiers were recruited from the local area. It would be the first time they went to such a distant place to fight. They would definitely not be accustomed to the local environment.  Coupled with other factors, I think it is natural for people to miss their hometown, but now is a critical moment, and this problem is very serious for the entire army, what do you think?"

    "Yes, this is a very serious problem. If it is not handled well, the morale of the military will definitely be shaken and it may even cause a mutiny. So I am also very anxious. Otherwise, we should go back. We haven't left the country yet, and we haven't met anyone yet.  Tatars, if we go back there won't be any problems." Li Zicheng said.  From the bottom of his heart, he naturally didn't want to come here. How could fighting the Tatar army be as good as fighting a few cities and becoming the king of the mountain?  To say it was for the three-eyed gun, the three-eyed gun had almost been lost in the sneak attack that night.

    Zhang Lei said firmly: "No, it's absolutely impossible for me to go back. Now that I've come here and traveled thousands of miles, what's the point of going back without even seeing my opponent's face?"

    "But everyone wants to go home, so how can we fight?" Li Zicheng retorted.

    Zhang Lei was stubborn and said: "If I say you can't go back, then you are not allowed to go back. People always come up with solutions. There is always a way to face the predicament at hand."

    Li Zicheng suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Then what else can you do now? Are we going to force them out of seclusion to fight? We all have no fighting spirit, how can we let them die?"

    "Don't get excited, of course there is a way. I have thought of a way before, and I can discuss it with you today. If it is feasible, I think I can give it a try." Zhang Lei said.

    Li Zicheng asked: "I've been thinking about it for a long time and I don't have any clue. What can you do?"

    Zhang Lei said slowly: "We came all the way from the south. All the food depends on my fleet going up the Yangtze River and the Yellow River to deliver food to us. The journey is more than a thousand miles? What's more, we have now penetrated deep into the north, and the distance from the Yellow River is also  Far away, the transportation of food is already a huge project. My idea is that if we can turn the current grassland into our food supply base, then my fleet will not need to come.  Look, here, the fertile fields are thousands of miles away. Isn¡¯t it just right for growing food? We keep those who are unwilling to leave the border to farm and let them provide us with food, while the remaining soldiers continue to follow us out of the border to fight. In this way  Come, won't the food problem and the soldiers' longing to return have been solved? What do you think?"

    Li Zicheng was silent. He looked away from Zhang Lei. He was thinking about the meaning of Zhang Lei's words and his purpose of saying them, and even the feasibility of Zhang Lei's plan.  sex.

    After a while, he finally looked at Zhang Lei again and said, "I just thought about the proposal you mentioned carefully. I think it can be implemented, but I'm afraid the specific steps still need to be worked out."

    Zhang Lei said calmly: "Since you also think this plan is feasible, it will be easy to handle. We can now discuss how to implement it next and come up with specific steps."

    "Well, okay, let's discuss it." Li Zicheng said.

    About an hour later, a large piece of rice paper appeared on the table in front of Zhang Lei and Li Zicheng, with various details that the two people had discussed and decided on written on it.  Zhang Lei took it up, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Okay, now we can make sure everything is foolproof."

    A big stone fell from Li Zicheng's heart, and his last doubt about Zhang Lei disappeared. He thought it was Zhang Lei's trick before, but now it turns out that he and Zhang Lei made this plan together.  Yes, then of course things really happened.

    "Yes, our soldiers will definitely decrease in this way, but removing those soldiers with no morale will not only reduce deaths and boost the morale of other soldiers, but also solve the food problem. This is really  What a good strategy." Li Zicheng replied.

    Zhang Lei stood up and said: "Well, since we have agreed, let's do this. We will let the generals who know how to read read this document in the army. If anyone is willing to stay, they can sign up and register.  , when the time comes, depending on the number of people, we will delineate a large place here, leave some tents for them, leave some food and seeds, and let them wait here for us to come back. I think this is good. "

    "That's right, let's do it this way." Li Zicheng said.

    Then the two people each wrote a document like this,Each copy was signed by two people, and then Li Zicheng took a copy and left.  (To be continued.
