Chapter 736: Envoy to Camp (Part 2)

The Hongniang also advised: "Wu Wei Bo, don't insist on going to die. Listen to our husband and wife's advice, go back quickly. If you want to say to the King of Chuang, we will help you convey what you say."

"To be honest, I have helped the King of Chuang before. He wouldn't have to repay his kindness to his grudges, right?" Li Guodong said.

"But if you kill Ma Shouying, it's hard to say." Li Yan said.

"Ma Shouying is Ma Shouying, is the King of Chuang, or is it a different matter. At least your rebel army was trapped in Hequ before. I have helped you a lot in the most difficult time. At that time, Mr. Li and Miss Hong had not joined the rebel army. Besides, Chen Yongfu once shot the King of Chuang in one eye, isn't it okay?" Li Guodong replied.

Li Yan finally agreed to recommend Li Guodong to Li Zicheng, but he told Li Guodong: "You change your identity and disguise yourself as a disguise. Don't say that you are Wuweibo."

Li Guodong agreed, but he decided that when necessary, he still had a real identity on his face, which could increase the success rate of negotiations. However, Li Guodong was actually fully prepared. In addition to how to convince Li Zicheng, his blue arrow jacket contained the most exquisite armor. The innermost layer was a close-fitting soft iron-inserted cotton armor, a dense chain-chained cotton armor on the outside, and a layer of iron-inserted cotton armor on the outside. Such three layers of heavy armor protection can effectively protect himself.

Once Li Zicheng turned against him, Li Guodong could rush out of Li Zicheng's central army camp with his thick armor. The two layers of soft armor and hard armor on his body had a certain protective effect when he encountered blunt weapons. When he entered Li Zicheng's camp, he had long been obsessed with the location of the stable. As long as he rushed out of Li Zicheng's central army tent, he could grab a horse and escape.

"Okay, then you go with me." Seeing that Li Guodong agreed, Li Yan took him to Li Zicheng's central army tent.

"King, the officers and soldiers of Tianjin have sent envoys to come, hoping to talk to the King of Chuang." Li Yan walked into the tent and bowed to Li Zicheng.

"Envoyant of the officers and soldiers? Blast him out. I have nothing to talk about with the officers and soldiers." Li Zicheng glared with one eye and was impatient to drive him away.

Li Yan said: "King, he said that the Ming Dynasty was willing to join forces with us to resist Jiannu outside the pass. He also said that he would like to remind the king of one thing, and Wu Sangui, who went to Shanhaiguan, led Jiannu into the pass to deal with us."

Li Zicheng laughed to the sky: "Originally, I arrived at the capital, and wanted to have a good talk with Emperor Chongzhen, and I would like to give him a title to him. I would help him destroy the thief and resist Jiannu. But I never dreamed that the impregnable capital would fall into E's hands without any effort. Eh, Chongzhen, was still necessary to win the title of Eh? Now I, Dashun, is the co-lord of the world! I will ascend the throne in a few days. He is still qualified to negotiate with us at this time? He should surrender honestly and take a step back to say that Chongzhen should be the subject of our Dashun!"

"King, but what we lack now is food. If we can join forces with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the enemy, we can obtain the food provided by the Ming Dynasty. Why not do it?" Li Yan said.

The problem of food hit Li Zicheng's weakness. If he wanted to control the north, he had to ensure the supply of food. If he couldn't support the people, he would be useless to do anything. Before, he relied on fighting local tyrants everywhere, and could indeed ensure the supply of military rations in the short term, and even let those ordinary people who couldn't eat make profits. However, over time, he also had to face the famine caused by the reduction of grain production in the north. Even if Li Zicheng adopted a strategy of encouraging production in some parts of Henan and Guanzhong, he still could not make up for the gap in food.

Whether in northern Zhili, Guanzhong or Central Plains, the grain output at this time was no longer able to feed the people due to the impact of the Little Ice Age. What's more, the places where the Breakers swept through seriously damaged agricultural production, and a large number of people were swept into refugees, which made the north of the Little Ice Age even worse.

In the original time and space, because Chongzhen was hanging on the crooked tree in the coal mountain, the Southern Ming court proposed the brain-dead strategy of joining the enemy and destroying the enemy. Not only did it not provide food to the Han people in the north, but it provided a large amount of food, gunpowder and military supplies to the Qing Dynasty through sea transportation, which further weakened Li Zicheng's strength and enhanced the power of the Qing Dynasty. The Southern Ming's approach was very similar to the wrong strategy of joining the Jin Dynasty to destroy Liao and Mongolia to destroy Jin Dynasty.

In this time and space, Li Guodong patiently convinced Chongzhen and pointed out incisively that the Tartars were the biggest enemy of the Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen agreed with Li Guodong's suggestion and gave the bottom line of negotiations that it could form an alliance and provide food to Dashun. However, neither recognizing the pseudo-emperor to Li Zicheng, the Ming Dynasty would be even more unlikely to be a minister to Dashun.

With the bottom line of alliance to resist the Qing Dynasty, Li Guodong was confident that the negotiations would be successful.

Li Zicheng thought about it for a long time and was unable to make up his mind.

Gu Junen said: "King, Mr. Li is right. Jiannu outside the pass is my biggest enemy. And my Dashun lacks food. Joining forces with the Ming Dynasty will be beneficial to my Dashun."

Niu Jinxing sang the opposite tune: "King, why should we join forces with the official dog? Our army is now strong and strong, why are we afraid of Jiannu? If it really doesn't work, we will have to surrender to Jiannu."

Li Guo was furious and pointed at Niu Jinxing's nose and scolded: "Niu Jinxing! If you want to surrender to Jiannu, you will surrender! I will definitely not surrender to Jiannu!" After saying that, he turned his head and bowed to Li Zicheng and said: "King, surrender to Jiannu, you have to shave your hair and change your clothes, and keep the ugly rat tail of Jiannu like Jiannu. My nephew would rather die than surrender to Jiannu!"

Li Guodong built a hype among the people, and promoted the Qing Dynasty's saying that the Qing Dynasty was shaving its hair and changing clothes. All those who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, regardless of military and civilian officials, had to shave their hair and change clothes. These propaganda had a good effect. Now, not only are this circulating among the people, but even the crusade army was circulating about shaving its hair and changing clothes.

It can be said that the backbone of the peasant uprising army far exceeded that of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and the gentry. In history, they resolutely opposed the Qing Dynasty and persisted until the end. They were not Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng and others? The Zhongzhen Camp adapted from the camp to the later Thirteen Kuidong families, and all died heroically.

Therefore, it makes sense that Li Guodong sympathizes with the peasant uprising army and hates the gentry. The real traitors were the gentry. Chongzhen, who has now awakened, also believes that all the gentry in the world can be killed.

"I will not surrender to Jiannu!" Li Zicheng nodded and said.

Li Yan said: "King, then call the officers and soldiers in and talk."

"Sentenced officers and soldiers!" The shouts of soldiers came from outside.

Li Guodong walked into Li Zicheng's central army tent, and none of the rebel generals inside recognized him.

Nowadays, there are no cameras. As long as Li Guodong changes his clothes, even most of the people under his own rule cannot recognize them, let alone the crusing army. Although the two sides have met on the battlefield, the crusing army does not have a telescope. Can we see clearly what the face looks like on the battlefield? At most, we have seen it from afar, and we can't recognize them at all after changing clothes.

Li Guodong looked around and saw swords and axes on both sides of the central army's tent. It seemed that Li Zicheng was going to give himself, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

In the center of the central army's tent, a middle-aged man wearing a white felt hat, a blue arrow jacket, and a red cloak sat. This man was big and thick, with a beard on his face, but only one eye, and looked very fierce. Li Guodong knew that the man was Li Zicheng.

"Kneel down!" the surrounding soldiers of the rebels shouted.

"I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. I only kneel down to my Ming Emperor. How can I kneel down to the bandits!" Li Guodong sneered.

"Bold! Take this official dog!" Niu Jinxing shouted.

"Don't be rude! The two armies will not kill the envoys when they fight!" Gu Junen shouted.

Li Zicheng raised his hand: "This person dares to go out alone to enter the camp, and he is also a brave hero. Let's hear what he says first."

"King of Rebellion!" Li Guodong stepped forward and bowed, "I came from an alliance with Dashun and Daming! The Emperor of Daming has issued an edict to Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan, so that he would rather surrender the thief than surrender to the enemy! But now the emperor believes that Wu Sangui will not obey the order, and will lead Jiannu to the entrance and attack your army!"
