Eight years before Chongzhen, the late Ming Dynasty was very chaotic, has been fighting separately, since Gao Yingxiang built a group, the thieves from all over the country pulled together, there is a certain organization, the combat effectiveness of the rogue has also been greatly enhanced.

Mainly scattered in Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang and other places after the Liukou people from all walks of life in Xingyang to join the division, the Liukou began to be led by the leader of the group, Gao Yingxiang, and did a lot of great things, the most shocking of which was to capture the central capital Fengyang, and pushed the tomb of Ming Taizu's parents.

After the ancestral tomb was dug up, Chongzhen sent Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng two fierce men, one south and one north, to lead the suppression of the Kou, and the two fierce men also fought very well, killing the group leader Gao Yingxiang, and beating the Liukou group very scattered, almost all of them were beaten and dived.

Hong Chengchou has been chasing the administrator Li Zicheng, and Lu Xiangsheng has been chasing another administrator, Zhang Xianzhong, and the life of the rogue is very difficult, and he lives in hiding in Tibet all day long.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai ran to Sichuan, and they wanted to take a breath and recuperate, but they were driven out of Sichuan by Qin Liangyu's white-pole army, and ran to Huguang in a blink of an eye.

It happened that the Qing army entered in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Guan Lu Xiangsheng led the Tianxiong army to the north, and the Liukou had a chance to breathe, especially Zhang Xianzhong and the fifth battalion of Gezuo, the two departments began to unite, and did things in the Yinghuo Mountains, Li Zicheng was unlucky, and was still chased and killed by Hong Chengchou, ran to his hometown in Shaanxi, and was surrounded by Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi.

Ten years after Chongzhen, the Fifth Battalion of the Revolutionary Left, which was doing things in the Central Plains, has now been killed by Zhu Cihong, and now only Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai and others are left in the mountains at the junction of Huizhou Mansion and Jiangxi, hiding for the New Year.

Now the rogues hiding in the mountains mainly include Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Liu Guoneng, and Li Wanqing, and nearly 100,000 of the four are nested together, and their lives are tight, and it is estimated that they don't even have cotton clothes and quilts for the winter.

Zhu Cihong decided to appease this group of poor people, but although Zhu Cihong was young, he was not naïve, he knew the rules of the underworld, and he knew the history of surrender of these people, and he would not easily follow their ways.

Because these people were so good at hiding in pieces, Zhu Cihong only knew their approximate location and had not yet found them exactly, so he decided to publish small advertisements in Huizhou Mansion and Jiangxi to inform the imperial court of the meaning of appeasement.

The appeasement notice is very brief, there is no too much nonsense, only two sentences, the main content is: all the rogues must surrender before the first day of the fifth month of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the imperial court will not investigate the past responsibility, if the overdue is still against the imperial court, looting the people's property and destroying it, there is no forgiveness!

The sentence on the last notice is the largest: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only appeases once, and if you miss it, you will never have a chance, don't make a mistake!

Zuo Liangyu, who saw the notice in Jiujiang Mansion, Jiangxi, scoffed at this, and the officials in Huguang also smiled bitterly, secretly saying How can the crown prince be so confident, the appeasement is the same as a threat, not to mention that the rogue dares to surrender, even if he looks at this tone, he is not willing to surrender.

Just when the officials and nobles in Jiangnan were watching the joke, it didn't take long for Zuo Liangyu and others to be slapped in the face, and the rogues rushed to surrender!

The first was Zhang Xianzhong, who sent people to the door to express his willingness to surrender and join the imperial court, on the condition that the officers and soldiers withdraw from Jiangxi and let them come out first.

Now the year is too bad, when the thieves are getting more and more difficult to mix, and the group of officers and soldiers from the Beijing division are too fierce, Zhang Xianzhong has to make another plan, he is ready to play a wave of fraud according to the previous routine, talk to the officers and soldiers first, put forward some conditions to surrender for a few months, and wait for the group of men who have recovered their vitality in the Beijing camp to go back, and find the right time to get up again.

No one expected that after Zhang Xianzhong had just finished shouting, Liu Guoneng led 30,000 men and horses to surrender directly out of the mountains, which made Zhang Xianzhong panic for a while, and secretly scolded this idiot for being so direct!

Liu Guoneng's strength ranks among the top five among all the rogues, and he is also a capable person, but he is not stupid, he really wants to surrender!

Liu Guoneng has studied and was admitted to Xiucai, but he couldn't survive back then, and he rebelled on impulse because he was ignorant and ignorant, but he didn't expect to get better and better. However, after all, the profession of anti-thief is unstable and extremely dangerous, maybe one day he will be beheaded if he stumbles, Liu Guoneng took this opportunity to decide to wash his name and learn from Song Jiang back then.

After Liu Guoneng surrendered, Li Wanqing, nicknamed Shooting the Sky, also led people to surrender, which made Zhang Xianzhong stunned.

Li Wanqing and Liu Guoneng are fellow villagers, both from Yan'an, Shaanxi, Li Wanqing was still taken by Liu Guoneng to rebel, and has always regarded himself as Liu Guoneng's younger brother.

Zhang Xianzhong saw that the two of them were playing seriously, and also said that he would belong to the imperial court, but he still had conditions: his people must still be in his own hands, refuse to accept changes and transfers, and do not accept official titles, and maintain independence.

After putting forward the conditions, Zhang Xianzhong sent someone to find Luo Rucai, who was hiding in another place in the mountain, and told him to be strong, wear a pair of pants with himself, and not surrender the dog officers and soldiers casually.

Luo Rucai has been thinking about whether to surrender recently, he thought about it and felt that the risk was too great, after all, he dug the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family, this matter will inevitably be settled after the autumn, but he can't stretch his neck and hand it to the officers and soldiers to cut, thinking of this, Luo Rucai decided to work with Zhang Xianzhong, and put forward the same conditions, asking for independence.

Zhu Cihong directly rejected the conditions of these two second goods, and bluntly told them that love will not surrender, and if they don't surrender before the first day of the first day of May, they will wait for death!

Zhu Cihong knew that when Xiong Wencan, the governor of the five provinces in history, took over Lu Xiangsheng's task of suppressing the invaders in the Central Plains, he had appeased Zhang Xianzhong and others, and Zhang Xianzhong also put forward these requests, and Governor Xiong agreed.

However, within two years, Zhang Xianzhong reversed again, echoing Li Zicheng who made a comeback, and completely detonated the rebellion of the Central Plains with the help of the peak of natural disasters, and the situation in the Ming Dynasty was inevitably reversed, and the power of the court against the thieves could not be suppressed, and Xiong Wencan was also punished by the court and cut off his head.

Zhu Cihong, the cross-product, replaced Xiong Wencan's position as the governor of the five provinces, so naturally he would not let history repeat itself, and Governor Xiong also picked up a life in disguise, and also did something to win glory for the country in Guangdong (drove out the British).

Zhu Cihong ordered Zhou Yuji, who was stationed in Taiping Mansion, to lead the men and horses of the Third Royal Division of the Tianwu Army to Huizhou Mansion to accept the surrender of Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing, and to reorganize these two divisions.

Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing honestly accepted the adaptation and did not resist, in fact, since they came out, they had no chance to resist in the face of the Tianwu Army.

Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing also knew that surrender would come at a price, and maybe the imperial court would have to send its own people to fight other rebels in the future.

It's like when there was a rebellion, every time you pulled people into the gang to rebel, you had to let the new recruits do some immoral things such as cutting people and setting fires, which is called staining some blood.

Liu Guoneng can accept these things, he only begs the crown prince not to go too far, and do things to unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future.
