Chapter six hundred and ninety-fifth: secure victory

Li Zicheng mentioned people in the capital.

Emperor Aoki disagreed.

"I also know some clues about this matter." Then he looked at Li Zicheng and said, "These people are indeed hateful, but it is not worth worrying. When I return to the capital, I can catch them all in one place."

Li Zicheng smiled bitterly and said that Emperor Tianqi did not continue to ask questions, which shows that Emperor Tianqi had already been sure to win.

It's ridiculous to say.

After scolding the foolish monarch for ten years, he found that the "crazy monarch" method was much more powerful than he thought.

The next day, a mighty army set out.

The orders issued by Emperor Aoki were also passed back and forth at the same time.

In fact, this is the real test of the entire Donglin Army.

Because of the resettlement of nearly 200,000 people, it is no longer something that a small Handan County can carry.

Not only that, how to make sure they will not disturb the people, or even trampled crops along the way, it is really a matter of effort to do these things well.

Fortunately, Donglin Army has a plan to deal with it.

The essence of the Donglin Army is to cultivate lower-level military officers and backbones in the army. These people are not only brave in combat, but most importantly, they already have a study course on organizing manpower and material resources in the army. At this time, these 30,000 troops, together, performed their respective duties, and were in order.

What made Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong more pleased was that they didn't even have a detention.

Just let them lead their subordinates to follow the army.

How could such treatment be like a prisoner?

So much so that Li Zicheng couldn't help but sigh: "I have been rebelling for ten years, and I really don't know whether to cry or laugh today."

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Does Brother Li feel the same way?"

How could people not feel it? Li Zicheng said: "If you don't send someone to guard it, you won't worry about us running away. This means that you don't worry about us. If we really escape, you will not be loyal. It is better to be a pig or a dog. Don't say that brothers look down on us, even if we look down on ourselves. Moreover, their confidence also confirms the strength of this official army. It seems that the progress of the official army has been a thousand miles a day in the past few years. If we did not surrender before, I am afraid that it will be a dry bone in the tomb now."

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that today would reach this point. You said... Brother Li..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xianzhong tried hard to lower his voice: "Did you ever think about being the emperor at the beginning?"

This is extremely taboo now, and Li Zicheng looked at Zhang Xianzhong with great vigilance, thinking that his grandson wanted to harm him.

Zhang Xianzhong smiled and continued to lower his voice, "Actually, to be honest, I had thought about it, but now, this idea has long been disillusioned! I can't finish the Ming Dynasty's aura, not only can I finish it, but I can't say that Zhongxing is hopeless. I originally said that this is really a tyrant monarch and treacherous minister in the court. Now, look at Your Majesty, look at the Liaodong prince next to Your Majesty and the martial officials who come with you, who are not smart and capable?"

"Damn it, I've been fooled by those damn scholars. These readers have really made their hearts dark."

Li Zicheng nodded and agreed, "Yes, I was fooled by them in the end."

"What are Brother Li's plans in the future?"

"Plan?" Li Zicheng smiled bitterly, "I am now discouraged and can't say that I might enter the temple to be a monk in the future."

Zhang Xianzhong thought for a while and sighed, "I am different. I still have common thoughts in my heart, but... if I think the world is peaceful, I would like to find a quiet place, write poetry all day long, and then put my poems into a collection of essays to deliver them to those who know the goods."

Li Zicheng said, "I can't think about these things now. I don't know what Liaodong looks like, let alone establishing agricultural, industrial and military health and stationing outside the pass, and I don't know what the situation is. Let's just place my brothers first."

"That's the reason."

………

Emperor Aoki also has his own thoughts.

This great victory allowed him to learn some new skills.

To a certain extent, pardoning and forgiveing ​​others made him feel a little comfortable. He thought about the resettlement of the bandits and the situation in the capital, and couldn't help but call Zhang Jingyi in front of him: "Zhang Qing, do you say these people are truly surrendering?"

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "I can't say anything."

Emperor Tianqi said inexplicably: "What is the saying that is hard to say?"

Zhang Jingyi said, "Because the initiative is not theirs, but Your Majesty. If Your Majesty is wise and eliminates bad policies, and the new policy measures can win the hearts of the people and teach the people of the world, then what can people like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong even have a different intention? Even if they want to rebel, they are afraid that they will not even be able to use one person."

"But if the world is still as before, the Liao generals and those who colluded with private businessmen are protecting those greedy gentry. Then even without Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, how many people would have like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong? After all, it is difficult for me to answer this question of Your Majesty, but this answer is actually in Your Majesty's heart."

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but sigh: "Does the life, death, honor and disgrace of thousands of subjects, and the country of ancestors, all are maintained by me? Fortunately, I have a loving heart and are indeed quite wise. If not, I really don't know what to do."

This is a bit shameless.

However... Zhang Jingyi is even more shameless than him: "Yes, if Your Majesty had the ability of Yao and Shun, how could he cheer up the Chaogang, and how could he open up the situation today?"

Emperor Tianqi expressed his satisfaction and immediately said, "If I were Yao and Shun, you would be Yi Yin and Lu Shang. I will not teach you to suffer."

Zhang Jingyi also expressed satisfaction, but unfortunately, this kind of satisfaction can only be said to the emperor and his subjects behind closed doors. If they were left outside, there might not be many people who recognized it.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi changed his mind and said, "The placement of these bandits is very important. You must not underestimate it. I will entrust you with this matter."

Zhang Jing nodded: "I have been editing the calligrapher's father these days and asked him to prepare in Liaodong. I will pay for all the expenses."

The two agreed, and then Emperor Tianqi turned his gaze to the direction of the capital, and a faint light flashed in his eyes, pondering for a long time.

……………………

Beijing...

Zhang Yanzhi was very alert these days. He did not live in his own home, but chose to live in a small city god temple in the city under the night.

Generally, no one comes to investigate this City God Temple, he only dresses up as a merchant.

These days, he has been trying to find ways to keep in communication with outside the city.
