"Why do you want to remind the King of Chuang?" asked the Hongniu in disbelief, "You are officers and soldiers, we are thieves, why do you need to remind us? When the King of Chuang and Jiannu fight to the death, wouldn't it be better if you benefit the fisherman?"

Li Guodong replied: "Although you are thieves, the officials are forced to rebel and have to rebel. The real rioters in the court are those court officials who only know how to be greedy for money but do not know how to do things. They are forcing the people to rebel! Besides, the King of Chuang is also a native of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jiannu outside the pass is a barbarian. If they are attacked into the pass, they will be as destructive as the Song Dynasty! So I would rather watch the King of Chuang defeat Jiannu than see the King of Chuang defeat Jiannu."

"Yes, our uncle's military achievements are all caused by killing Jiannu." Hao Yaoqi interrupted.

Hong Niangzi asked, "Since you agree that officials force the people to rebel, why do you still need to help the dog emperor?"

"Don't scold Your Majesty?" Li Guodong retorted with a stern face and righteous retorted, "Actually, His Majesty is a good man. This time, Tianjin disaster relief, Your Majesty also personally donated porridge to the victims. Miss Hong, you can go back and ask the King of Chuang, if there are any valuable things found in the palace? Your Majesty's dragon robe is patched! My Emperor, the Emperor, is diligent and frugal, but unfortunately, he was deceived by corrupt officials and misused the traitor, and ended up today. When you King of Chuang came into the city, those corrupt officials opened the city, so that it was easy to enter the capital! Those dogs who were unfaithful, filial, unkind and unrighteous, I don't think you King of Chuang would like those unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, right?"

The Hong Madam lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and slowly raised her head: "General Li is really willing to let me go, the rebel?"

"I, Li, have a trustworthy word, but a gentleman is as good as a gift! I let all the sisters in your female barracks go. But you can't leave now, and you still have to feel wronged that you will live in the city for a few days. When we leave Tianjin, we will naturally put you back. This Tianjin Wei will treat you as a gift to you couple. Also, let me tell you another truth: Mr. Li is resourceful, but his strength is still not as good as me, so you succeeded in your plan but lost the battle. Strength is the hard truth. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless."

The Ming army relied on twenty-six small boats to transport another thousand Ming troops to the south city, stabilizing the defense of the city wall. As for the open Anxi Gate, there were self-generated musketeers and cannons behind the open city gate, and no more rebels could rush in. In order to increase the power of the sealing gate, Li Guodong asked someone to bring more cannons and turtledove-legged guns to seal the city gate.

The city defense finally stabilized, and Li Guodong rushed to the governor's office to meet Emperor Chongzhen.

"Li Aiqing, how did the thief enter the city?" Chongzhen, who was still scared, asked when he saw Li Guodong.

"Your Majesty, there are Yuan Yuzong, Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian's inner supporters in the city. These three rebels and the traitors in the city have already been captured. It's a pity that Yang Weihan did not come." Li Guodong replied.

"Are these two traitors arrested? Bring them up!" Chongzhen said happily.

Yuan Yuzong, Jin Bin, Lou Guangxian and others were taken in.

"Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty!" As soon as he saw Emperor Chongzhen, Yuan Yuzong, Jin Bin, Lou Guangxian and others knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"You are traitors! I treat you very well, why should I follow the thief?" Chongzhen pointed at Yuan Yuzong, Jin Bin, Lou Guangxian and others and roared angrily.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I hope Your Majesty will spare my life and let me make meritorious. The criminal must help me kill more thieves." Yuan Yuzong knelt on the ground and broke his head.

Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian also kowtowed repeatedly and begged: "Your Majesty, give the Crime a chance to make meritorious service."

"Hmph! I have made meritorious service? If I let you go, you will definitely go to the thief when you turn around! If you surrender to the thief and lead the thief into the city, your crime will be unforgivable!" Chongzhen was furious.

In order to survive, Yuan Yuzong bit like a mad dog: "Your Majesty, the criminals want to report Wu Weibo! His men let more than 30 female thieves who refused to surrender without authorization!"

Chongzhen turned to look at Li Guodong: "Li Aiqing, is there any such thing?"

"Yes, Weichen not only lets more than thirty female thieves go, but also plans to let Moo Lady go."

"Li Aiqing, why do you want to let them go?"

"They are all daughters of poor families. Although they are women, they have backbone and are unwilling to betray them, so they are unwilling to surrender to our army. I am unwilling to kill these loyal and righteous women. Your Majesty, this time I let them go, and the next time I meet them on the battlefield, they will no longer be enemies with us. Although these women are women, they know shame, unlike some court officials who are scattered."

"It's better if a few little female thieves are released. Hong Madam is the female thief leader. Why did Li Aiqing let her go?"

"Your Majesty, I almost fell into Li Yan's plan this time. Li Yan is a rare talent. Hong Niangzi is his wife. I am planning to recruit this person. If he kills his wife, can we still expect him to surrender?"

Chongzhen nodded: "Let it go, let it go. What are we scruples with women? Li Aiqing is right. I treat these traitors very well on weekdays. They do not want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but they want to follow the thief. They even lead the thief into the city, intending to kill the thief! Such thieves must not be spared lightly!"

"Your Majesty, how do you deal with these traitors?"

"It's too cheap to take them out and kill them. It's hard to relieve my hatred! I'll take them to prison first, and I'll execute them to death!"

"Your Majesty is wise! Such rioters should be severely punished!"

Chongzhen turned around and shouted, "Come on! Take these traitors to prison! Wait until you defeat the thief army and execute them lingchi!"

Wang Chengen came up with several armed eunuchs and dragged Yuan Yuzong, Jin Bin, Lou Guangxian and others down.

"Li Aiqing, many of the captured thief soldiers were my Ming surrendered soldiers. What should those people do?" Chongzhen asked.

"It's all a group of soldiers. I'll kill and prisoners. Let them help us defend the city together." Li Guodong replied.

Chongzhen sighed: "It turned out that my Ming officers and soldiers surrendered to the thief and surrendered back. I can't swallow this if I don't kill such a person."

"Your Majesty, what are the repeated statements of the soldiers? They had also followed Yuan Yuzong, Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian, a group of rebels before they surrendered. Now that the rebel army was defeated, they surrendered again. It is meaningless to kill a few soldiers. If Your Majesty can tolerate them, they will definitely be loyal to our Ming Dynasty in the future. Your Majesty, let alone, the rebels are not the biggest trouble of our Ming Dynasty. The real enemy is in the north, and the Jiannu outside the pass is our Ming Dynasty's mortal enemy!" Li Guodong advised.

At this moment, someone came outside shouting: "Brother, the thief has arranged a formation outside the city, and it seems that he is ready to attack."

Li Guodong saluted Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I am going to arrange a guarding city. When the bandits are driven away, I am coming to accompany Your Majesty again."

"Let's go to Li Aiqing."

It was already dawn, and Li Yan's plan to steal the city failed. The rebel army left a mountain of corpses in the city gate, blocking the city gate, but still failed to rush into the city. The Ming army, who had already reacted, had adjusted and arranged defenders on the city wall, and the rebel army could not break through the city.

"Cui'er, Yun'er, why are you out? Where is Miss Hong?" Seeing the female soldier released from the city, Li Yan stepped forward and asked.

"Mr. Li, it was Ming army who let us go. Wu Weibo's command said he would not bully women, so he let us go. Madam Hong was taken away by General Hao."

"General Hao? He is still alive?" Li Yan was shocked.

"General Hao took Miss Hong away from the crowd of Guangouzi. We doubt whether General Hao has already rebelled." Cui'er said crying.

Li Yan was about to speak, but he heard someone shouting from the top of the city: "Mr. Li, we are meeting again!"

"It's Li Laoer!" Li Yan subconsciously walked outside the city wall with an arrow, raised his head and looked at the city top.
