Yes, as this highness said, what the rebels are doing now is indeed inconsistent. And no matter what, the rebels are killed by the same clan.

Even if the existence of the rebel army was because the court was too much, the rebel army, which had gradually deteriorated, was not much better than the court?

If you don’t have to go against the court, you can find a place to survive, which is also a good thing for the rebels.

Li Zicheng was really moved by Zhao Hongyu's words.

However, he was also very clear that it was impossible for the leaders of the rebel army to agree to such a proposal.

Li Zicheng couldn't understand those people very much.

They don't have long-term visions, and they are all concerned about the benefits in front of them.

Moreover, in the eyes of these people, Junggar was just an uncivilized area, and all the barbarians lived in it.

Therefore, where is the best world of Ming Dynasty?

Even if they were making a fuss in the Ming Dynasty, they were better than going to that barren land.

Of course, this is what those people think, and Li Zicheng doesn't think so.

Especially Zhao Hongyu said that once that territory is captured, it is a trivial matter to be a local emperor.

At the same time, the Ming court would not be too pressing for the rebels who had left the territory of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the sky was high and the birds could fly, and the sea was wide and the fish could leaps.

Although it is not as colorful as the Ming Dynasty, what is it for those who are the rebels who have even had a problem with their survival?

The main thing is that it depends on whether you want to understand it or not.

Li Zicheng thought it clearly and saw it very thoroughly in just a short period of time.

However, his thoughts do not represent the thoughts of others.

Therefore, he could only smile bitterly and did not respond.

Zhao Hongyu, who had been observing Li Zicheng's reaction, saw the bitter smile on Li Zicheng's dark face, and he understood his thoughts after thinking about it.

"Do you think most people in the rebel army won't agree with my idea?"

Facing Zhao Hongyu's inquiry, Li Zicheng nodded, agreeing with this speculation.

Zhao Hongyu sneered for a moment and said to Li Zicheng indifferently: "Smart people must know how to choose such a thing. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. The Ming Dynasty court has been stationed with me to learn new tactics. Now they have been recruited by the Ming Dynasty court to the northwest to deal with your rebel army."

Regarding the movements of Sun Chuanting's army, Zhao Hongyu did not want to hide it from Li Zicheng.

Moreover, the existence of Sun Chuanting and his troops cannot be concealed.

It would be better to tell Li Zicheng directly, which would make him feel a little stressed.

"It's not that I'm looking down on the rebels, you really can't do it now. When this elite Ming army who has learned the new tactics has gone to the northwest, your rebels will not last long."

Zhao Hongyu's words are definitely not boasting, but have confidence in this regard.

What is the situation of the formation of the rebel army? It is just a team of farmers who cannot survive. Even if there are some horse thieves and bandits, they have a little combat power.

However, it would be a fantasy to expect these people to fight Sun Chuanting's troops.

Although the rebels can win consecutive battles against the Ming troops in the Northwest, it is absolutely impossible to defeat Sun Chuanting's troops.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu said this, but it was not considered bragging, but said the truth.

However, Li Zicheng was not clear about this situation. After all, how could the rebels, including Li Zicheng, know about the combat effectiveness of Sun Chuanting and his troops?

Therefore, Li Zicheng didn't believe it very much.

In his opinion, the Ming Dynasty's army was just like that.

After all, he was born in the Ming Dynasty garrison and had the deepest understanding of its degree of decay.

Therefore, Li Zicheng thought that Zhao Hongyu's words were a bit alarmist.

"Why, you don't believe it?"

Zhao Hongyu saw something from the expression on Li Zicheng's face, so he asked.

"Your Highness, it's not that someone doesn't believe it, but that a certain family came from a military household in the Ming Dynasty, so they have the deepest understanding of the deterioration of the Ming army. Eating empty salary and drinking blood of soldiers is the norm. Those soldiers basically rarely train, and those who have combat effectiveness are just servants of the generals, otherwise the rebels would not have won a great victory in this period."

What Li Zicheng said is true, and Zhao Hongyu didn't want to refute anything.

However, what Li Zicheng didn't understand was that Sun Chuanting's army was very different from the Ming army he knew.

Tactics, rules, mentality and will are incomparable.

What's more, Sun Chuanting's army also fought with the elite troops of the Later Jin Eight Banners under the instruction of Zhao Hongyu, and achieved considerable results and accumulated practical experience.

Then, in this Ming army that was afraid of fighting and fearing the enemy, it is not an exaggeration to call Sun Chuanting's troops an absolute elite.

Think about it, how many troops of the Ming army dared to fight against the Later Jin army over the years?

Even the standing army in the Liaodong strategic zone established by the Ming Dynasty used defensive measures to fight against the elite army of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Take the initiative, not many times at all.

In this case, it is very nonsense to expect them to have a strong fighting will.

However, the troops under Sun Chuanting were different. They had all the energy and decisive willpower from top to bottom.

Because this is the confidence accumulated slowly through continuous practical examples.

So, are the elite elites of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty stronger than the Rebel Army?

Needless to say, that is definitely not a little stronger.

Since it can defeat the Eight Banners elites in the later stage, how could it be impossible to use it to deal with the Rebel Army?

The confidence of this army has been raised, so Sun Chuanting's troops, which have this, cannot be compared with other Ming armies.

The rebels where Li Zicheng was located fought against the local garrisons in the northwest, with insufficient troops, and the generals were all timid. Therefore, it was not surprising that the rebels won a series of great victory during this period.

However, if the rebel army encounters a powerful army that dares to fight, it will definitely be a blow to them.

Moreover, Sun Chuanting's troops are not ordinary strong and dare to fight.

Even if this army was pulled out alone to fight against the elite Jin Eight Banners, it would not be afraid at all.

It can be said that under Zhao Hongyu's training, this Ming army already possessed a kind of military spirit. This is something that the Daming army at the same time lacked or did not exist.

Although there are only a few people, only a mere 3,000, but equipped with excellent muskets and new tactics, it is still very interesting to fight against the rebels and other mobs.

You should know that the rebels usually adopt the tactics of the sea of ​​people in wars. Once they charge, they will destroy the decaying Ming troops in the Northwest and then win.

However, this move is completely impossible for Sun Chuanting's troops.

You know, queuing up and shooting is definitely the nemesis of the human sea tactics.

Let you run over with many people. I just want to shoot with a crackling shot, and you will suffer heavy losses if you don’t come back or return.

Not to mention that Sun Chuanting's troops also purchased small cannons equipped with imperial, which is also a big killer weapon.

Muskets and cannons. Do you think the future of the rebel army is worrying?

Even if your cavalry charges, Sun Chuanting's troops are not afraid.

Of course, the premise is that as long as the ammunition is sufficient, it will be no difficulty for Sun Chuanting to fight against the 100,000 rebels.

After all, most of the rebels were farmers and they were not even complete weapons.

Many people usually fight with wooden sticks or hoes. Some even have nothing but fight with bare hands.

"It's not necessarily your highness. No matter what our rebels say, it's impossible to be so unbearable." But when Zhao Hongyu finished speaking, Li Zicheng retorted.

Zhao Hongyu didn't care at all about this, after all, Li Zicheng didn't understand too many things.

Of course, if Zhao Hongyu had not already made a plan, he would not have been patient with Li Zicheng. Not to mention that Li Zicheng was still Sai Shiniang's father.

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu said patiently: "In my eyes, the rebel army is like a native chicken and a tile dog. Although you are known as 300,000, I only need to send a team of ten thousand people here to defeat you in one fell swoop."

Zhao Hongyu said nothing, and he also exuded strong confidence.

"Don't believe it, I'm telling the truth. You should also know whether the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty are strong or not, but look at how the Later Jin Dynasty is now, the situation of being beaten by us is worrying. Could it be that you think the Rebel Army is stronger than the elite of the Eight Banners?"

Li Zicheng was a little undeniable about Zhao Hongyu's words, and the expression on his face completely betrayed him.

However, Zhao Hongyu was too lazy to continue explaining, because no matter what, this matter was better than what he could see with his own eyes.

"To be honest, the Ming Dynasty court originally wanted to borrow troops from me to the northwest to deal with you, but I didn't agree. What I thought was that I was not willing to kill each other as the Yanhuang Miao people. In a few days, we will have military operations against the Later Jin Dynasty. If you are not in a hurry to go back, I can take you to see it. I think after you see our military power, your current ideas will definitely change."

After all, it is better to let Li Zicheng see it with his own eyes.

As long as he is allowed to see the battle of the Emperor Team, he will definitely be shocked.

Zhao Hongyu has absolute confidence in this.

Then, when Li Zicheng was shocked, Zhao Hongyu continued to put pressure on him and thought that the plan would be almost done.

As for the statement that the Chao wanted to borrow troops from him to the northwest, Zhao Hongyu deliberately said that it put pressure on Li Zicheng, and there was nothing like this at all.

But Li Zicheng didn't know, so he believed it very much.

Then, when Li Zicheng saw the strength of the Imperial Army, if the Ming Dynasty asked Zhao Hongyu to borrow troops to the northwest... Hehe, under such pressure, Li Zicheng would not have considered what Zhao Hongyu said and pursued survival further westward. (To be continued...)
