Before hanging himself, Chongzhen lifted the table

Chapter 202 I'm Back
Emperor Chongzhen was not the tallest, but at this moment, in everyone's eyes, he seemed to be extraordinarily tall and mighty.

Especially his image at this time, which was holding a bloody spear in his hand and a horrific corpse beside him as a foil.

Thinking about how arrogant this corpse was before, saying all kinds of insulting words, he was afraid that the current emperor would not dare to challenge him, so he forced the current emperor to challenge him. As a result, he was unable to fight back the whole time. , kill directly!

Thinking of this scene, anyone will put themselves into Zhang Xianzhong's perspective and try to think about what would happen if they were to challenge the current emperor alone?

The result is very obvious!
At this moment, basically all the people in Sichuan remembered the legend of the emperor in front of them. It turned out that it was not a rumor!

At this moment, although there were thousands of troops outside Kuizhou City, they were all intimidated by Emperor Chongzhen's momentum, and no one dared to respond to the challenge.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the battlefield became eerily quiet.

As a result, the movement on the river became louder.

When someone heard this, they turned their heads and looked towards the Yangtze River.

But on the river downstream, many ships appeared again, all carrying the flags of the imperial army, coming overwhelmingly.

It turned out that Emperor Chongzhen, after receiving the request for help from the Sichuan Councilor, immediately led the Longwei Camp in person and rushed to the rescue in a selected warship.

But the emperor rushed to the front to rescue, so how could the army behind them dare to neglect, they also rushed on as hard as they could, so they arrived at Kuimen in almost the same time.

At this time, the soldiers of the Daxi Army were a little overwhelmed because Zhang Xianzhong was killed by the current emperor. Now that they saw more reinforcements from the court arriving, they couldn't help but become commotion.They all looked at Li Dingguo subconsciously, waiting for him to make up his mind.

And Li Dingguo had never encountered such a situation. In the past, it was Zhang Xianzhong who made the decision.Although Li Dingguo did not agree with some of his orders, at least he had a backbone.

Now, at this scene, he was a little flustered and didn't know how to do it well?

If the current emperor's attitude is very clear, that is to destroy them, then there is nothing to say, and there is no need to hesitate to fight or escape directly.

However, the current emperor has said that they can be pardoned.

However, they surrendered as soon as Zhang Xianzhong was killed, and they seemed to be having a hard time with this situation.

On the Daxi Army side, everyone was a little frightened and at a loss.

At this time, if Emperor Chongzhen wanted to eliminate them, he would definitely win a big victory by taking advantage of the opportunity he had just killed Zhang Xianzhong to issue an attack.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not want more people to die. He wanted them to surrender directly and save some energy for the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he did not issue an order to attack, but stared at them and waited for them to make a decision.

At this time, the reinforcement warships were already approaching the water gate.A man standing on the bow of the warship at the front suddenly waved to Emperor Chongzhen and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I'm back..."

The entire battlefield was originally very quiet, and the atmosphere was still a bit panicky. I didn't know what to do.Under such a background, when they suddenly heard such an unexpected shout, almost everyone turned their heads and looked over.

Emperor Chongzhen and others were also a little puzzled.Who in the imperial court dares to be so unruly and greet the emperor in this way?

When the man saw that Emperor Chongzhen didn't respond, he quickly shouted again: "Your Majesty, I...passed Tianxing, Zhang Tianlin, the one who challenged you in Guguan, I came back from Xi'an..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen finally remembered that it was him who had never served in the army.After he surrendered, he took the initiative to request an order and said that he would go to Xi'an to recruit Yasuda to show off. No wonder this way of greeting was very unique.

When others heard this, they were all shocked.

The man who had just challenged the emperor to a duel was already lying on the ground, bleeding like a river.In the blink of an eye, another person who was said to have challenged the emperor was still so lively?

Later, they heard that the man claimed to be Chen Tianlin, a star from Guo Tianxing, and some people knew him.

For example, Li Dingguo knew him, a general under Li Zicheng.

But then, he became confused.This Guo Tianxing seems to have surrendered to the imperial court, but he said he came back from Xi'an. What does this mean?
At this time, the warship was already approaching the water gate and was about to enter the water gate.Zhang Tianlin jumped on the bow and shouted: "Your Majesty, wait for me, I brought a letter from Xi'an, they want to surrender!"

He took the initiative to request an order to do this, but he didn't expect to be imprisoned for more than a year, which suffocated him to death.But no matter what, now the mission has been completed and a great contribution has been made. I don’t know what others are doing, but Zhang Tianlin is very excited and happy anyway.

After setting off from Xi'an, he worked hard all the way, met Ma Ke's troops, inquired about the emperor's whereabouts, rushed over, and boarded the follow-up warship.

Thanks to the duel between him and the emperor at Guguan, he became very famous.There are many soldiers in the army who know him, otherwise, identity verification would be a problem.

At this time, he was a little impatient. Before the boat stopped, he jumped ashore, then ran out of the city gate and ran to Emperor Chongzhen.

At this moment, he only had Emperor Chongzhen in his eyes, and he didn't care about the environment the emperor was in.

I saw him walking out of the city gate, then running towards the emperor while waving a letter, and at the same time shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty... I was right, I can persuade them to surrender. This is Lao Tian... Letters from Tian Jianxiu and Gao Guiying, they want to surrender to the imperial court!"

Everyone in the court was dumbfounded. Where did this living treasure come from, so unruly?
But at the same time, they were also very happy. According to this person, he recruited the rebels from Shaanxi?
Unlike the people on the court side, Li Dingguo and the others were not surprised by Zhang Tianlin's unruly shouting. They were more shocked by Zhang Tianlin's shouting: Shaanxi actually surrendered to the court?No wonder this side wants to form an alliance with them, but has never received a response.

Emperor Chongzhen did not blame Zhang Tianlin for his rudeness. He watched him run up to him, just like a child who got good grades and showed his report card to his parents, hoping to get praise.So, he thrust his spear into the ground, took the letter and read it.

While Zhang Tianlin was waiting for the emperor to read the letter, she finally turned around and looked around, and then she was surprised.

He looked down at the body on the ground and said in surprise: "Hey, who is this?" After saying that, he looked at the situation, then understood, and said in shock: "Who is this unlucky guy?" , you still want to challenge His Majesty to a duel? Didn’t you know that His Majesty is so brave? "

After finishing speaking, he looked to the opposite side, recognized Zhang Dingguo, and shouted: "Where are the eight kings? You have never heard of His Majesty's reputation, and you actually dare to challenge Him to a duel?"

Zhang Dingguo was speechless after hearing this.At this time, who doesn’t know that the current emperor is so brave!It’s just that I couldn’t believe it before!
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen finished reading the letter and after hearing Zhang Tianlin's words, he said to him calmly: "This is Zhang Xianzhong under your feet!"

When Zhang Tianlin heard this, she was immediately startled. She quickly lowered her head to look at it, then muttered and shook her head.

Emperor Chongzhen ignored what he was saying. He just turned to look at Li Dingguo and said loudly: "Zhang Xianzhong is dead. It is you, Li Dingguo, who should make the decision here. I ask again, should you surrender or not?"

Li Dingguo was shocked when he heard this.

You know, at this time, his name is Zhang Dingguo.As for his real name, it is not known to outsiders.Suddenly, it was really unexpected to be called out by the current emperor.

In fact, he always cared about his original surname, and the same was true. In the original history, as soon as Zhang Xianzhong died, he and the other three people immediately restored their original surname, and killed Zhang Xianzhong's queen and Prime Minister Zuo.

At this time, the emperor directly called him Li Dingguo instead of Zhang Dingguo. Did he mean not to abandon his ancestors, not to continue to be a thief, to accept the recruitment, to serve the court, and to honor his ancestors?

With this in mind, he turned around and found that all the soldiers of the Great Western Army were looking at him, waiting for him to make up his mind.

He could tell that most of the people's expressions told him that they didn't want to fight with the court.

Think about it, after fighting for so many years, what did you get in the end?Every day is precarious, either fighting this or that. Even if Daxi Kingdom is established, nothing much has changed.

But now, even Shaanxi has expressed its intention to surrender to the court, so what is the point of the Daxi Army persisting?
The current emperor is extremely brave, but he is not like Zhang Xianzhong who killed innocent people indiscriminately, and it is said that he treats the people very well.

Under all these circumstances, is there any reason not to surrender to the court and end these days with no future in sight?

With this thought in his mind, Li Dingguo finally put down his weapons, knelt down on one knee before the current emperor, bowed his head and said, "Li Dingguo is willing to surrender to the imperial court!"

Seeing him like this, the Daxi Army officers who had been impatient for a long time immediately dropped their weapons, knelt down, and said loudly: "I am willing to surrender!"

There was a sense of relief in his words.

Other hesitant Daxi Army soldiers saw that so many of their companions had surrendered, so they had a choice and knelt down one after another to ask for surrender.

After a while, all the soldiers of the Great Western Army knelt down and surrendered outside Kuizhou Prefecture.

This is the general trend and cannot be resisted by individual will.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at this scene and immediately said loudly: "Now that the world is not at peace, there are still bandits in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places who are causing trouble and harming the people, and there are still Liaodong rebels who have not been wiped out. I will give you a chance, you can join the army, or you can Go back to your hometown to farm.”

Zhang Tianlin was right behind the emperor. When she saw this scene, she immediately said loudly with a smile: "Brothers, don't hesitate. What can you do when you go home? Of course, you are a soldier. Your Majesty treats soldiers best." , look at me, I went to Xi'an and spent more than a year in jail for meritorious service, and I still don't regret it! If you have meritorious service, then you can turn around and make your wife your wife, and honor your ancestors, isn't it?"

A general from the regular army would never dare to say such a thing around the emperor.

However, he had been hanging out with Li Zicheng. After surrendering to the court, he immediately requested an order and left for Xi'an.He was imprisoned in Xi'an prison for more than a year and was suffocated to death.Now that I have come out and seen the great achievements, I am extremely excited and talk about whatever comes to mind.

Of course, this is only temporary. Afterwards, even if Zhang Tianlin is not aware of it yet, the emperor will not mind, but Fang Zhenghua and others will teach him the rules of the imperial court.

But at this time, his inner words gave the soldiers of the Daxi Army a great reminder.

No, after hearing this, Li Dingguo immediately shouted to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead people to persuade others to surrender to the imperial court!"

Needless to say, these other people are Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded without hesitation and said: "I don't want to kill too many people. As long as you are willing to surrender, you can be forgiven! You can take as many people as you like, I will give you three days. After three days, I will lead the troops Conquer the bandits who refuse to surrender to the imperial court!"

Li Dingguo was a little surprised when he heard this.He just expressed his intention to surrender and didn't do anything. The emperor agreed to let him take people away. Do you believe him so much?
What if he just pretended to surrender, and as soon as the emperor agreed, he just happened to escape with his people?
The emperor couldn't have thought of this, right?
With this thought in his mind, he finally asked: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to escape?"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen chuckled and said, "I still trust you, Li Dingguo. You are a loyal man with a compassionate heart. He doesn't want the people of the world to suffer more. How can he resist the early peace of the world?"

Not to mention the past, just the Battle of Xinhui in history was enough to prove what kind of person Li Dingguo was.Even his failure may be that he was too kind.However, Emperor Chongzhen still admired his kindness to the people.

At this time, Li Dingguo was very moved when he heard that the current emperor trusted him so much. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, can you allow me to collect his body? I promise your Majesty that I will persuade others to surrender. If they are unwilling to agree, I will So I kidnapped them and brought them to see His Majesty."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen turned to look at the corpse on the ground, and then turned back to look at Li Dingguo. Seeing his expression as if he was afraid of his disapproval, he understood that he was worried that he hated Zhang Xianzhong so much that he would not agree to confine Zhang Xianzhong's body.

If it was the original Emperor Chongzhen, he might have continued to whip the corpse, but for the current Emperor Chongzhen, he didn't mind giving Li Dingguo a face and letting him restrain his adoptive father's corpse, so that was the end of it. Affection.

So, he nodded and said: "That's right!"

When Li Dingguo heard this, he was very happy and thanked him quickly.In this case, at least he can explain something to others.

As for Zhang Xianzhong being killed by the emperor, not to mention the killing on the battlefield, just because Zhang Xianzhong dug up other people's ancestral graves, shouldn't they be allowed to take revenge?What's more, he was the emperor, and Zhang Xianzhong was the one who caused rebellion. Isn't it normal for him to kill him?
If we really want to blame him, we can only blame Zhang Xianzhong for not being able to compare with the current emperor, otherwise this would not be the end!

They were all men in the army. They killed them openly on the battlefield and no one would complain!
