Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 679 Li Zicheng surrendered again (4)

"Who is this person? Master Li, please tell me." Gao Guiying and the others were grateful, as if they had seen a savior.

"Shenjian young general Zhang Huan."

"Zhang..." Gao Guiying and the others couldn't help but looked at each other, a little disapproving.They thought that Li Quan was talking about Song Xiance, and His Majesty valued him very much. If he was there, they might be able to intercede for Li Zicheng, but they didn't expect it to be Zhang Huan.

Zhang Huan is not very old, and now the official is the commander of the imperial cavalry. Among the hundreds of officials, he is not among the best in terms of official position, age and merit. , just saved Li Zicheng's death penalty, but he still has to lose his head. Can Zhang Huan come forward to intercede?

In addition, Gao Guiying also knew that just now all the civil and military men came out to intercede, except for Zhang Huan. He must still have one thing in his heart, that is, outside Kuizhou City, Zhang Huan violated military discipline and drank alcohol in the camp. Gao Guiying secretly exposed it, and Zhang Huan was punished. Go up the mountain to spend food.

Even if his intercession was successful, would he now be willing to intercede for Li Zicheng on their behalf?
What Li Quan said next moved Gao Guiying and others. Li Quan said that what you know is only on the surface. In fact, their majesty is chivalrous and has special feelings for the young general Zhang Huan. Huan has repeatedly made outstanding achievements, and has also taught Zhu Yousong how to shoot arrows. Zhang Huan wants to seek Li Dingguo to avenge his father. If you come forward to intercede, His Majesty will definitely agree to show mercy.

After Li Quan finished speaking, he asked Gao Guiying and others to keep it secret for him. As for how to ask Zhang Huan to intercede, that was their business.After finishing speaking, Li Quan left mysteriously.

Gao Guiying, Li Na, Cuiyu, Huiying, Huimei, Zhang Nai, and Shuangxi are not without strategies. They think Li Quan's is very reasonable. Even if there is a glimmer of hope at this time, they can't let Li Zicheng lose his head.

But when they asked for it directly, they felt unsure. They knew that Zhang Huan was a small-minded guy with a stubborn temper. Your Majesty.You can't let your Majesty ask Zhang Huan for this matter, wouldn't that be a joke?

A few of them discussed together, and the three cobblers gave Zhuge Liang a boost, and they really paid attention.Their eyes lit up and they thought of a person. This person was the one-eyed general Ma Wannian. Ma Wannian, Zhang Huan and Lu Xiao were kowtowing brothers. The three of them imitated Liu Guanzhang back then and vowed to live and die together. The boss has the best relationship with Zhang Huan, so they decided to let Huimei come forward to beg Ma Jinhua. Ma Jinhua is Ma Wannian's biological sister, and Huimei and Ma Jinhua are colleagues and husbands.

Sure enough, Huimei found Ma Jinhua, and Ma Jinhua agreed.Ma Jinhua called Ma Wannian to follow in front of Huimei, and after finishing speaking, Ma Wannian slapped his chest and contracted the matter.Ma Wannian immediately found Zhang Huan, and without knowing what the two brothers said, Zhang Huan immediately found Yu Zhangzhong, knelt down and pleaded with Li Zicheng.

Zhu Yousong secretly smiled in his heart, I will wait for you, and I will leave this great face to you!
So Zhu Yousong gave permission, and when Li Zicheng was about to lose his head when the third soul-chasing cannon was about to be fired, Zhang Huan asked for it, and Zhu Yousong pardoned Li Zicheng's innocence.But this time he was not appointed as an official, but Li Zicheng was allowed to continue to serve in the army, and he would talk about promotion after he had military merits.

Li Zicheng, Gao Guiying and the others couldn't be more grateful. Fate is more important than anything else. After being released, Li Zicheng thanked Zhu Yousong for his kindness, and swore an arrow that he would never do it again in this life. If there is even the slightest act of rebellion, you must swear allegiance to His Majesty and Daming to the death.

Zhu Yousong's face was sinking like water, but his heart was already full of joy. He knew that Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying's group would have to thank Zhang Huan next.

Sure enough, Li Zicheng, Gao Guiying, Li Na, Cuiyu, Huimei, Huiying, Zhang Nai, Shuangxi, etc. looked at Zhang Huan with admiration and regarded him as benefactors, especially after Li Zicheng and his wife thanked him face to face, Li Zicheng taught Zhang Huan a set of Chuangwang Dao Zhang Huan's swordsmanship is superb, but his swordsmanship is mediocre. After Li Zicheng's teaching, he can be regarded as a second learning skill, and his martial arts have improved a lot.

Zhang Huan is also a person who values ​​friendship, and he is very grateful to Li Zicheng, and he regards him as a master. Later, Zhang Huan recognized Li Zi as his godfather, and they became like a family.

Zhu Yousong settled one matter, and his mind relaxed a lot. Now Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Zhang Huan and other personalities in front of him, even if there are conflicts, they are internal conflicts, and they will not turn against each other. Control them , Not only can you talk about iron and blood force, but you really need some wisdom!

After dealing with Li Zicheng's matter, the local officials and garrison troops in Jiuzhai County handed it over to the Ministry of War and the cabinet to appease the people, and Zhu Yousong moved to Chengdu in a mighty manner with a brigade.

In Chengdu, Zhu Yousong rested his troops and horses, and the suppression of bandits basically came to an end. It took nearly two years from the conquest of Li Zicheng to the surrender of Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, which is neither too long nor too short. Zhu Yousong was most satisfied.It is of course more valuable to make Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng listen to him than to kill them.

Zhu Yousong planned to stay in Chengdu for a few more days. On the one hand, he should rectify his army and horses. After fighting for so long, he should also take a good rest.In addition, the collection of captives cannot be sloppy. Zhang Xianzhong's men and Li Zicheng's men surrendered before and after the total of hundreds of thousands. With the remnants of Dashun, Zhu Yousong handed over these matters to Liu Zhaoji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Du Yinxi, Minister of the Ministry of War, assisted.

Then Zhu Yousong issued an edict to the cabinet, and sent people to the capital (referring to the capital of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing) to declare to the world that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng had returned to the imperial court, and the banditry in the Southwest for more than ten years had been completely eliminated. The whole country was shaken and there was joy.Gao Hongtu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Wang Duo, the second assistant, brought all the civil and military officials to burn incense and worship in the direction of Chengdu.

Zhu Yousong stayed in Chengdu for a few days, traveling in and out of the city, while listening to Li Dingguo's good news.

Li Dingguo and Song Xiance led an army of [-], and followed Zhu Yousong's order to chase after the remnants of the disabled grandson Kewang.

Li Dingguo lived up to expectations, defeated Sun Kewang in a row, and won five battles and five victories, especially in the battle of Jiulongshan. Sun Kewang was defeated. People, Sun Kewang took them and fled to the deep mountains and old forests, where they disappeared, hiding their names and daring not to come out.

Li Dingguo and Song Xiance moved back to Chengdu to see Zhu Yousong's order. Zhu Yousong was overjoyed and rewarded the two generals. A few days later, Zhu Yousong planned to move his division back to the court. Zhu Yousong was furious at the news that Guili Zhu Youlang was Emperor Yongli.
