Chongzhen is a lucky person, he can sit on the throne of high spirits and rule the world; Chongzhen is also an unfortunate person. When he ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty was already terminally ill and shaky. From the anxiety before ascending the throne to the anxiety of taking power, there were few comfortable days. Ascending the throne said that he was granted the duty in the face of danger. When the storm was in turmoil, he controlled the worldly ship full of holes, which was struggling forward with difficulty, and there was a possibility that the ship would be destroyed and people would die at any time.

In times of trouble, there are still many troublesome guys who have collapsed their nests. The Ming Dynasty was in a turbulent state. After finally sailing on this giant ship for seven years, the situation did not improve. Even Sichuan, which is known as the country of Tianfu, could not stay out of this turbulence.

Dong Jian, the new deputy commander of the commander, raised a butcher knife to investigate the military farms at Sichuan's large and small garrisons. For a while, many officials of the commander-in-chief were injured and the interests of the powerful were damaged. He committed illegitimate fraud during the investigation and made a fortune. If this operation was an earthquake for Sichuan, the next two "earthquakes" were larger in scale, stronger in destructive power, and more far-reaching impact.

First, the commander Han Wendeng disappeared. Since Han Wendeng announced that he had been working outside, the officials of the commander Han Wendeng had no information about Han Wendeng for more than a month. Even Han Wendeng's most trusted confidant had no news. People were in panic for a while. Some people said that Han Wendeng was deliberately hiding so that his brother-in-law could clean up the commander Han Wendeng. Some said that Han Wendeng had long been thrown away in the wilderness when attacked. Some also rumored that Han Wendeng had surrendered to the bandits and was preparing to rebel. Anyway, bad news was circulating every day.

The disappearance of the highest military officer of a province can be said to be a major event, but what happened next suddenly made Sichuan nervous. The stars in the sky, the wolf, Yidou Valley, the king of sweeping the floor and other bandits, led by the stars in the sky, the scattered world, the king of sweeping the land. With the support of the 13th family of Yaohuang, they crossed the Daba Mountain in Kuizhou Prefecture and entered Sichuan through the Yangyan Path. Suddenly appeared in the Dazhu River, and the county towns were as strong as the bamboo, Taiping, Chengkou, Mingtong, Qianxi and other counties fell one after another, and headed straight to Kaixian. The thieves were in great power.

On October 12, the commander of Zhai Tangwei, who was responsible for defending the territory, led 3,000 soldiers who had finally gathered up to fight in Majiazhai. Unexpectedly, they were ambushed by the stars and the Hang Wolf. The guard commander Deng Yuan sacrificed his life to his country, and most of the remaining 3,000 soldiers were killed and injured, and the remaining birds and beasts scattered. After that, Hang Wolf and others scattered and attacked, and Kuizhou Prefecture fell within ten days.

After capturing Kuizhou Prefecture, the strength of the starry sky, Lunhuanglang and others was not weakened, but became stronger. Not only did the exploited people join the team, but even some soldiers from the garrison joined one after another. In addition, the fields had just been harvested, and the grain in the official warehouse was accepted by the rebels. The strength did not decrease but increased.

Sichuan suddenly became in chaos.

If a snake has no head, it will be in chaos without a commander. When Han Wendeng is here, everything is in order. Everyone is twisted into a rope, but once Han Wendeng is away, no one will accept anyone below. In addition, Dong Jian has settled the military farm and offended the generals of Sichuan. When something really happens, they will be unrelated to themselves and hang up high. Let the war and smoke flow to the sky, and letters for help fly like snow. They insist on keeping their troops, and some even gloat in secret.

Every garrison has the responsibility to defend the territory and cannot be easily mobilized. Anyway, there is no order from the commander of the commander, so why should anyone take this risk?

After Han Xinglang and others captured Kuizhou, at the suggestion of their allies, Yaohuang Shisan's family, they avoided Baoning Mansion, which had relatively strong strength and natural dangers such as Jianmen Pass, and divided their troops into several routes to attack Shunqing Mansion, Chongqing Mansion and other places. After learning that the commander Han Wendeng of Sichuan was missing, Man Tianxing and others decided to strike while the iron was hot, swallow Sichuan, and then work together to seize Sichuan.

The court did not expect that the rebels would enter Sichuan. Unexpectedly, the 13th family of Yaohuang would mobilize a large number of manpower and material resources to assist the rebels in entering Sichuan. As soon as they entered Sichuan, they attacked areas with weak defense. Although Hong Chengchou led elite soldiers, he did not dare to lead troops into Sichuan rashly, and could only send people to ask for instructions from the court while looking across the border. At the most critical moment in Sichuan, the commander of the Dushi could not find anyone. Even if the imperial court issued an order, he could not find a partner if he wanted to read it.

So, Sichuan suddenly became a paradise for the rebels, but no one expected that an invisible hand was controlling it from behind.

When the stars in the sky, the rampant wolf and others were rampant in Sichuan, there was a force that could not be ignored, that was the 13th family of Yaohuang.

It is said that it is the shaking of Huang Shisan, but it is actually just a title, because the entire team is almost the final say. Huang Yaozi, the king of fighting for food, became the stepping stone for Zhang Rui to rise to power. Yuan Tao, the king of heaven, and the king of heaven, and the king of heaven, were all weak and dared not rebel against Zhang Rui.

When Mantianxing and wolf siege the city and plundering wealth, Zhang Rui naturally missed the opportunity to make money and strengthen his strength. He used the relationship between familiar terrain and often used the smallest price to obtain the greatest benefits. Even so, he got along well with Mantianxing and others because both of them could get what they needed.

Whenever he captured a place, everyone was concerned about robbing money, grain, and women, Zhang Rui focused on robbing people, pulling strong men, craftsmen, and talented people into his team, and also paid attention to absorbing the soldiers scattered among the people. Because he was willing to pay for money, the flags he was scattered were local flags. The people sent out to lobby were all people with Sichuan accents, which were easily recognized by the people and soldiers. His strength soared for a while. However, Zhang Rui was good at management and consciously hid his strength, so he was at peace.

When Zhang Rui entered Shunqing from Kuizhou Prefecture, his troops had reached more than 26,000.

Of course, not all of these 20,000 people participated in the siege. Zhang Rui left most of them in the old nests in the deep mountains and forests of Bazhou, and only brought about 10,000 people to participate in the battle. As his strength grew, Zhang Rui's prestige became higher and higher. His status in the shaking Huang Shisan family became stronger and stronger. Even if he was the strongest Mantianxing, the strongest rebel army, was on par with Mantianxing. It is no exaggeration to say that he was a well-known figure in the rebel army. When his subordinates saw him, they respectfully called him the King of Fighting for Food. This was his inheritance of the title of Huang Yaozi. Even if Mantian and others saw it, they would call Brother Zhang enthusiastically.

However, this "King of Fighting" who was high in the team also had a time to bow down. On October 17, on a nameless hill thirty miles north of Yilong, that is, at the junction of Baoning Mansion and Shunqing Mansion, Zhang Rui respectfully saluted to a person dressed in ordinary clothes: "Small, please see the master."

The one who could make Zhang Rui salute was Lu Haoshan, the commander of Lizhou Guard. At this moment, he brought people here in vain to meet Zhang Rui secretly.

"Sir?" Lu Haoshan said with a smile: "Haha. Zhang Rui, you now have territory and have nearly 30,000 troops under your command, and more troops than me. Do you want to call you the King of Fighting for Food?"

"Sir" Zhang Rui immediately knelt down and said seriously: "Zhang Rui is your soldier, and he will be your soldier all his life. If the young one has a disagreement, then he will hit the sky with thunder and will die without a place to bury him."

Lu Haoshan laughed and helped Zhang Rui up in person and said, "Yes, I didn't read the wrong person. Don't worry, as long as I follow me, I will never let you suffer grievances. After the matter is accomplished, I will enjoy endless glory and wealth. However, if you have a different intention, I will be able to support you. I will naturally have the ability to pull you down."

Speaking of the latter, Lu Haoshan's words revealed a bit of deep murderous aura.

Zhang Rui's growth was supported by Lu Haoshan. In order to prevent him from holding troops and respecting himself. Without his own control, Lu Haoshan naturally left behind, with promises in front and warnings behind, so as not to lose himself in the face of power.

"Yes, sir, sir, sir, will never frown at all. No matter what sir, sir, sir, go through fire and water." Zhang Rui was shocked and immediately said seriously.

"Sit" Lu Haoshan sat on a stone casually, but Zhang Rui did not sit. He stood in front of Lu Haoshan, standing very straight and very disciplined. It felt like he was back on the school ground. Lu Haoshan was the captain, and Zhang Rui was still an ordinary little soldier.

Lu Haoshan asked, "How is the recent development?"

"It's not bad, because Sichuan is relatively rich and there are many gentry and landlords. Stealing their wealth and food is enough to maintain military expenses. Man Tianxing and others have a lot of ambitions. Not only do they not steal ordinary people, but they also often share the stolen food to the people. Therefore, the casualties of the people are not great, and they are also willing to join the uprising. Dong Jian's rebellious actions and Han Wendeng's disappearance, Sichuan instructed the Si to be in chaos and never encountered any major resistance."

"Well, it's not bad," Lu Haoshan nodded and said, "Remember, making a fortune in silence and keeping a low profile is the king. Those things that are showing off can be done well by others."

"Yes, sir."

Seeing Zhang Rui's desire to speak but stop, Lu Haoshan shook his head and said, "Okay, I know you have many questions. If you don't understand, please raise it."

Zhang Rui really had a lot of questions. Hearing the words, he said carefully: "Sir, why do we focus on robbing people instead of robbing money and food? Are these the most important? We have so many soldiers under our command, and we spend a lot of money every day. If we focus on robbing money and food, we can definitely share the big deal with our intelligence and familiarity with the terrain."

"Tell you a story," Lu Haoshan pondered for a moment and began to whisper: "In a very far and far place, many countries were divided into two factions to fight. This battle lasted for many years, and millions of people died. Finally, the coalition forces led by the Bear Kingdom and the Eagle Kingdom attacked the capital of the enemy Man Kingdom. The head general of the Bear Kingdom only focused on plundering gold, silver, wealth and various materials, while the Eagle Kingdom focused on robbing talents and scooping up all the talents that the enemy country could find. Two different choices eventually led to two completely different results. The Bear Kingdom fell after some glorious days. The Eagle Kingdom greatly promoted the development of the country with various excellent technologies and finally became a superpower. That influence, well, is much stronger than our Emperor Yongle."

Lu Haoshan was telling the story of World War II in later generations. Zhang Rui knew nothing about it. However, when he heard that the Eagle Kingdom was more arrogant than the people and Emperor Yongle, who came to pay tribute to all countries, was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth.

"Sir, really...really?" Zhang Rui was a little disbelief.

"Of course, you have seen the new type of musket. You know how much stronger than the old musket. If there were no craftsmen and talents, could it be built?"

Zhang Rui said with admiration: "That's great. If there were no adults, those poor craftsmen wouldn't be able to make trouble."

"Cough" Lu Haoshan coughed dryly, and admitted modestly: "That's because I am an amazing talent."

After saying that, Lu Haoshan continued, "Okay, let's get back to the point. These days, money is not omnipotent, but you must not have money. Wealth is not something you don't want, but when the right time comes, we will snatch it from Mantianxing, and now we will treat it as letting him collect it for us."

"Yes, sir."

After pausing, Zhang Rui said carefully: "Sir, the younger one has two questions. I don't know if I should ask..."

Lu Haoshan laughed and scolded: "If you have something to say, just say it, and if you have farts, just let it go."

"Han Wendeng is obviously dead, why do we block this news? If it is promoted, will Sichuan be more chaotic and better to take advantage of the situation? One thing is that we have so many people, when will we take action?" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
