Liu Fangliang sullenly poured hot water, and then picked up a gold ingot and roasted it.Li Zicheng took advantage of the light of the bonfire to admire the pearl in his hand, which was a peacock green pearl, huge and round, like a pigeon's egg.If you look closely at this pearl, it is not a simple peacock green, but it is faintly full of colorful light inside, which is extraordinary.There is not much else in the hands of this gang of thieves, that is, there are too many gold, silver and jewelry, which are all left by Lu Fang and Qian Cangji.Especially the big pearl in Li Zicheng's hand was sewn into the big cotton jacket by Lu Fang, and then it was split out by Zhang Xianzhong, and finally Li Zicheng walked away.Li Zicheng now regrets that he should have stolen the big padded jacket if he knew it today, or bring some food!
Originally, I thought that Hubei had a developed economy, carried more gold, silver and jewelry, and did not worry about having no place to exchange food for food, but as soon as they entered Hubei, they were targeted by Chen Qiyu, the governor of Huguang, and sent troops to encircle and suppress them.Li Zicheng and others were driven to hide in Tibet, and finally fled into the depths of Dabie Mountain, found an ancient cave, and survived.Now it is winter, the snow is covering the mountains, even the wild beasts are hiding, and Li Zicheng has fallen into an embarrassing situation of lack of food and clothing.No, Tian Jianxiu proposed the idea of digging a bear's den?
Liu Zongmin scolded, "This ghost weather, you still want to dig a bear den?"
Don't freeze into ice, it's really cold in the mountains of Hubei, and the mountain wind is so big, how can people live?
”Tian Jianxiu sneered, "Why don't you go out to Zhao'an, won't you be able to eat and drink spicy food?"
By the way, there are high beds and soft pillows to sleep on, aren't you afraid of the cold mountain wind?
”Liu Zongmin was furious, "Okay, you are a fake benevolent and fake righteous field, since the labor and management are determined to work with Brother Li, how can they go to the dog court?"
Labor and management see that you Tian Jianxiu has two hearts, and then deliberately said it through labor and management, right?
”Tian Jianxiu was also angry, although Tian Jianxiu has a good temper and a good heart, but honest people will also be angry!
He stood up angrily, picked up the knife and was about to find Liu Zongmin to fight.Li Guo hurriedly ran over to play the round, "Everyone is a brother, what kind of hero is fighting in the nest?"
Doesn't it make outsiders see the joke?
”Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu were angry, where could they listen to persuasion, so they simply rammed Li Guo's face with a punch, and Li Guo's eyes turned blue in seconds.Li Guo was kind enough to persuade him, but he was beaten by them, and he couldn't swallow this breath!
Li rolled up his sleeves angrily and rushed forward, and the three of them fought instantly, so they were not embarrassed.Li Zicheng put the big pearl into his arms indiscriminately, and roared violently, "Stop it all for the labor and management, and then cut off all the labor and capital, and my mother will sell it." ”Although Li Zicheng is down now, his prestige is still there, Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, and Li Guo have to scold and scold.Li Zicheng sighed and said, "Now that we are in a difficult situation, we must unite as one, I advise everyone not to think about Zhao'an, the Dog Emperor once issued an edict that he would never accept the Zhao'an of Shaanxi Liukou, we will either die or be opposed." ”Then Li Zicheng looked at Liu Fangliang and said, "Liu Fangliang, here is the place where you have the most ghost ideas, do you have any good ideas?"
”Liu Fangliang pursed his mouth and didn't speak, he was actually a little clever and knowledgeable, but he had never seen the real world, what could he do?"
Chief, I have a way."
At this time, a handsome man stood up, this person's name is Gao Jie, he is a small leader in this gang of rogues, he is relatively low-key on weekdays, and he is not obvious, so his sense of existence is very low.In fact, this Gao Jie has followed Li Zicheng since Mizhi, they got up together, took refuge in Gao Yingxiang together, vigorously killed officers and soldiers, robbed granaries, released prisoners, and laid down a lot of power.Later, Gao Yingxiang's subordinates were surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court officers and soldiers, Li Zicheng and Li Guo were exiled, and Gao Jie still followed Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, to live a life of hiding in Tibet.Later, Gao Yingxiang divided his subordinates into several waves to flee, and Gao Jie fled with Zhang Xianzhong in the direction of Shanyang County, and joined up with the liukou pulled up by Li Zichengxin.Li Zicheng was afraid of being assassinated by Zhang Xianzhong and plotted to escape, so Gao Jie resolutely followed Li Zicheng.Li Zicheng looked at Gao Jie, this is the first time Gao Jie has taken the initiative to perform, this guy can't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks on weekdays.Li Zicheng cracked his mouth and smiled, "Brother Gao, what is the best plan?"
”Gao Jie smiled faintly and arched his hand, "The villain once followed his relatives to this Macheng when he was young, there are many gentry and wealthy families in Macheng, and the land annexation is extremely severe, and the landless peasants have become the private slaves of these gentry and wealthy families, and the situation is worrying.In Macheng, especially the four wealthy families are the worst, which are Mei Zhou, Li Liu, these four surnames forcibly occupy most of the land in Macheng, treat tenant farmers particularly harshly, and there are many slaves in their families, these slaves are not as good as pigs and dogs.Let's rebel against these slaves and tenant farmers, let these people join us, rob his mother upside down, and then enter the county seat, kill the dog officials, rob the prison, ascend to the heights, and respond to every call.Most of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are concentrated in the nine towns of the border passes, Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan and other places, and Huguang is empty of troops, so we can take advantage of the weakness to enter, form a spark and fire the plain, and finally fight back to Shaanxi and seize the Central Plains. ”Gao Jie finished speaking in one breath, and then he looked at Li Zicheng expectantly, as if he was waiting for Li Zicheng's praise?
However, Li Zicheng just smiled faintly and said, "Very good!"
”didn't go down again, but Liu Zongmin laughed and said, "Gao Jie of the dog day, I still think you can come up with any good ideas, just this bullshit idea?"
I've already told the leader, in fact, why do you think we came to Macheng?
”Tian Jianxiu sighed and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Gao, I discussed this idea with the leader before my brother came, but later we were killed by a lot of officers and soldiers, and now we are weak, how can we be the opponents of these gentry and wealthy families?"
They have raised a lot of thugs, and they are more fierce than officers and soldiers. ”Gao Jie thought about it and then said, "The gentry and wealthy families can't move, why don't we find a few small forces to knock hard?"
Just south of this Dabie Mountain, on the outskirts of Macheng, there is a Liujiazhuang.This Liu Jiazhuang is a side branch of the Liu family of the Jinyi Wei family, although it is also considered a Wang family, but its power is not large, we might as well start with this Liu Jiazhuang. ”Gao Jie also told Li Zicheng that he had been to this Liujiazhuang when he was a child, and the land in the village belonged to Mr.
Liu's family, who was extremely mean and exploited the tenant farmers very badly, and even forcibly occupied the tenant farmers' wives every night.
