Zhang Mingwei was stunned when he heard this, didn't he ask him to go to Li Zicheng, and he came back before he could contact him, could it be that something was wrong?

Thinking of this, he asked a little puzzledly: "He also brought someone back, has something important to report?" ”

"Yes, sir!" After Liu Jin replied, he remembered something, and hurriedly added, "He said that it has something to do with the current situation. The person who brought it looked like he was a friend, but he tied him up, and now he is waiting for the master in the gatehouse under the custody of the captain of the Jinyi Guard in the mansion! ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but be a little surprised, it was related to the current situation, he sent him undercover, and he also tied up a friend to come back, could it be that he lacked something, so he came?

Thinking so, he didn't say a word, immediately stood up and said, "Let's go, go home!" ”

………………

Zhang Mingwei hurried back to the house, and sure enough, he saw Lan Tianbao in the gatehouse, his eyes were red, as if he had cried.

"The villain has seen the master!" Lan Tianbao naturally saw Zhang Mingwei for the first time, so he immediately stepped forward to salute.

Zhang Mingwei said with a smile: "I've seen your father and mother, it's all right, okay!" ”

Although he didn't see Lan Tianbao's parents at the scene, he could figure it out with his toes, so he must have seen it. However, Lan Tianbao still had important things to tell, so he persuaded their parents to go back, or his parents were sensible and left first.

Lan Tianbao listened, did not deny it, and nodded.

To be honest, when he saw his parents for the first time, he knew that his parents were doing well in the Guogong Mansion, and he was naturally very grateful to the Guogong in his heart.

Therefore, he remembered the matter in his heart, so he immediately said: "The villain failed to complete the matter of the national bus generation, failed to take refuge in the Chengchuang Wang's department, and was intercepted by the small Yuan camp halfway, and was valued by its leader Yuan Shizhong, and became the military advisor of the small Yuan camp......

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Mingwei really wanted to laugh out loud. My luck is really not ordinarily good, and the previous layout has had unexpected gains. This is definitely much better than Lan Tianbao going to Li Zicheng's side.

“…… Yuan Shizhong has always been loyal, but there is no way, after hearing about the reputation of the master, he went north to look for an opportunity, and sent a villain to ......" Lan Tianbao said this, and looked at Yuan Zhuangfei and said, "There is also this, called Yuan Zhuangfei, is Yuan Shizhong's cousin, a fierce general, come to Beijing to check the master, to see if there is a chance to abandon the darkness and turn to the light!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei was already very happy in his heart, this was really the good luck of drowsy and encountering a pillow, and by the way, he also brought an eye patch.

He turned his head to look at the strong man who was tied, nodded and said, "Since you are a loyal person, what are you doing with it, it will be untied soon!" ”

Although it was an interrogation, of course Zhang Mingwei knew that this was to show him that his safety was the first priority in Lantian Bao's heart.

But now it's not as good as it was at the beginning, there is a group of Jinyi guards around to protect him, and Liu Jin is also by his side, very safely.

Speaking of Liu Jin, he really picked up a treasure. His skills are indeed very powerful, but he was so hungry that he didn't dare to fight back, so he didn't have a chance to see him beat Zhou Bi'an's house slave.

Who is Hou Sui, the assassins sent by him were naturally selected, and they were skilled, but even so, they were killed by Liu Jin, and even two were captured alive, so that the truth of the case of the fall of Guide Mansion was revealed.

Thinking like this, Lan Tianbao had already untied Yuan Zhuangfei's rope according to his words.

As soon as Xingguo Gong entered the door just now, Yuan Zhuangfei had already paid attention to this powerful Guogong for the first time.

Although he saw that Xingguo Gong was followed by many people, he did not feel that Xingguo Gong had the kind of high posture of being an official, and he did not scold the family members in the house with contempt like a slave. It's more like his eldest brother to him and his brothers.

This unexpected impression of the first time made Yuan Zhuangfei feel very good about Xingguo Gong, so at the first time of loosening the tie, he knelt down to Xingguo Gong, hugged his fists and said: "Grass people Yuan Zhuangfei, on the orders of the eldest brother, is willing to abandon the darkness to the court and make meritorious contributions!" ”

Persuade Xiao Yuanying to surrender, this is it?

Zhang Mingwei felt a little unreal, but the facts were in front of him, so he didn't think much about it, so he said with a smile: "Hehe, a person with loyalty and righteousness is rare now!" Hurry up, go, talk in the lobby! ”

Zhu Yujiao, who had been silent by his side, was also very happy when she heard this, and even she wanted to go back to the palace to report the good news to her father as soon as possible. Because she knew that her father was very worried about the current situation.

After a while, when he arrived in the lobby, Zhang Mingwei asked Yuan Zhuangfei and said: "If Xiao Yuan Ying really abandons the dark and turns to the light, I can guarantee that he will never blame the past, and in the future, he will only look at the merits of his ancestors and his wife and son, regardless of anything else." ”

Yuan Zhuangfei was overjoyed when he heard this, and thanked Guogong again.

However, when Zhang Mingwei asked about the specific requirements, Yuan Zhuangfei couldn't answer. When I came to Beijing before, I just came to inquire about the news, and I thought that I would get in touch with the prince of the dynasty.

In this regard, Zhang Mingwei said to him: "Zhang Xianzhong surrendered and rebelled, you must know." Now in the court, there are many worries about recruiting traitors. If Yuan Shizhong believed me, he could only accept Zhao'an unconditionally, and the imperial court would arrange the small Yuan camp to show his sincerity. ”

Although this is reasonable, but on Yuan Zhuangfei's side, he is still a little hesitant, what if the court changes his hexagram? At that time, it was the fish on the knife board, which was slaughtered.

Thinking so, he replied to Zhang Mingwei truthfully: "Guogong, this matter still needs my eldest brother to decide!" ”

"Okay, I guess you're tired too, let's go down and rest first!"

After Zhang Mingwei asked Yuan Zhuangfei to take him away, he naturally asked Lan Tianbao about the specific situation of Xiao Yuan's camp.

"How many people and horses are there in Xiao Yuan's camp, and how many people are capable of fighting?"

"Back to the master, Xiao Yuanying has a total of 110,000 horses, but most of them are ordinary people, and there are about 25,000 people who can fight."

"So, Xiao Yuanying is also coercing the people?" When Zhang Mingwei asked this, he was a little displeased.

When Lan Tianbao heard this, he hurriedly replied and explained for Yuan Shizhong: "Master, the ordinary people in Xiao Yuan's camp are different from the ordinary people in King Chuang's department, they are not driven to fight, but just people who have been killed by disasters and have no way to live. This time he led the army to the north, and Yuan Shizhong also said that if the prerequisite for recruiting an is to know how the imperial court will properly arrange these people! ”

Speaking of this, he remembered something, and immediately added: "By the way, the difference between Yuan Shizhong and King Chuang's attitude towards ordinary people also caused him to not get along well with King Chuang!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but be happy again, but he didn't show it, and immediately asked: "How to solve the problem of eating and drinking so many people?" ”

"Fight local tyrants and corrupt officials." When Lan Tianbao heard this, he immediately replied, "It is also because of this that Yuan Shizhong's subordinates are very loyal to him, and many people are willing to work hard for him." However, the burden of ordinary people is too great, and it also makes Xiao Yuanying overwhelmed and struggling. ”

Originally, Zhang Mingwei also wanted to ask whether Xiao Yuanying, as recorded in the history books, did not commit any crimes against the people in autumn, and even paid travel expenses, and was called a Buddhist soldier by the people. But when I heard it at this time, I didn't need to ask anymore, it should be the same.

Such anti-thieves, in fact, can be called a rebel army, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is really an anomaly. Maybe it's not ruthless enough, they can't fight Li Zicheng.

Seriously, Zhang Mingwei was really a little emotional, so he began to ask some details about Xiao Yuanying.

………………

At the same time, in the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen was worried about the situation and was worried.

Now in the current situation, Li Zicheng's department is attacking Kaifeng for the third time, and according to what Mr. said, this time it will be captured by Li Zicheng. And what was not originally in history, Zuo Liangyu's subordinates were rebellious and threatened the imperial court, but now they have become a big threat.

If Xiao Yuanying can surrender, the imperial court will have an advantage, and if Xiao Yuanying cannot surrender and is really used by the imperial court, the Central Plains will definitely be captured by Li Zicheng's department, and Hebei, Shandong and other places are likely to become the territory of Zuo Liangyu's department, and Xiao Yuanying has already gone north, which will definitely endanger Hebei and Gyeonggi. If it is not done well, it is very likely that the edicts of the imperial court will not be able to produce the capital division in the future, and the land of Gyeonggi will be full of flames. In this case, if the building is mixed with another kick......

Thinking of this, he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

At this time, the chamberlain came to report that Min Hongxue, the secretary of the military department, wanted to see him.

Emperor Chongzhen summoned Min Hongxue in Yuntai and heard him play: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been thinking about it for a long time, and now I am afraid that I can only transfer the soldiers and horses of the Great Wall defense line to the south, and quickly pacify or defeat Xiao Yuan's camp, the only way to solve the current situation is to solve the current situation!" ”

The soldiers and horses of the Great Wall defense line were formed by the internal withdrawal of the military and civilians of Liaodong. These Liaodong soldiers and civilians are all from military households, and they have the foundation of the army. Originally, it was built using the Great Wall to defend against the outside of the pass. If you fight in the field, I'm afraid you have to train before you can do it. However, there should still be an advantage in dealing with the thieves composed of ordinary people.

After Min Hongxue went back, he thought about it for a long time, weighed it for a long time, and only came up with such a way to deal with it.

Emperor Chongzhen listened to it and said with a little hesitation: "But according to the governor of Shanyong, it will take more than a month to complete the defense line of the Great Wall, and they have to guard against the invasion of the prisoners outside the pass. ”

"Your Majesty, the battle of Songjin has just passed, and Jianyu must also recuperate, Weichen thinks that he will not enter the customs in the short term." Min Hongxue said with a serious expression, "If you can defeat this group of thieves in the shortest possible time, you will immediately return to the north, so that you can take care of both sides." ”

"But what if we can't defeat this bandit in a short time?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he asked rhetorically, "If Jianyu enters the customs, wouldn't the disaster be even greater?" ”

Hearing this, Min Hongxue was also most worried. For a moment, the scene fell silent.

This thing is really difficult to do!
