When Zhang Mingwei saw the question, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this little Yuan Ying may be able to recruit Anzhi!" ”

As soon as they heard this, the people in the Wenhua Hall couldn't help but be disappointed. Especially Emperor Chongzhen, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

But fortunately, it was Xingguo Gong who said this, and Emperor Chongzhen took the initiative to remind: "Sir, Zhang Xianzhong betrayed the imperial court after recruiting An, but it was last year!" ”

Although the others did not speak, they all nodded in their hearts. Look at Xiong Wencan, who was the one who advocated Zhao'an, he was cut off and abandoned in the city. If this is replaced by someone else, it is estimated that the emperor will be furious.

However, when Zhang Mingwei heard this, he still insisted on his opinion and said: "Your Majesty, although Zhang Xianzhong rebelled after being recruited, what about Liu Guoneng? It's not that Zhao'an has been working for the imperial court since then, and finally died in battle. There is also that Bai Guangen, who has also been working for the imperial court since he was recruited. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen felt Zhang Mingwei's stubbornness, and suddenly, his heart moved, could it be that this little Yuan Ying was recruited in the original history to prove his loyalty to the imperial court, right? If that's the case, wouldn't it just be enough to recruit him?

He was thinking like this in his heart, but Min Hongxue, the secretary of the Ministry of War, persuaded Zhang Mingwei for the sake of his benefactor's future: "Guogong doesn't know, now the power of the imperial court is very consumed, and the thief is very powerful, at this time, if you go to Zhao'an, even if you can recruit An, the thief must also ask for a lot, one is not satisfied, and the possibility of rebellion again is very great, no better than back then!" ”

Generally speaking, he does have a point.

If the imperial court does not have enough troops to deter, it is indeed likely to make the thieves have different intentions. In fact, there is no need to talk about thieves, just say Zuo Liangyu, if the imperial court has enough troops to deter, do you think he will be arrogant and undisciplined?

The people present basically understood this truth. They have an excellent relationship with Xingguo Gong, so naturally they all nodded in agreement, wanting Xingguo Gong to give up this idea.

But who knows, they heard Emperor Chongzhen speak: "Since Mr. said so, there must be a reason for Mr.!" ”

As soon as they heard this, these people in the Wenhua Palace, except for Wang Chengen, the others were suddenly a little dumbfounded. Didn't the emperor take the initiative to remind Guogong just now that thieves are easy to surrender and rebel, why did he change his mind so quickly?

When they came back to their senses, they looked at Emperor Chongzhen and then at Xingguo Gong, and they really wondered in their hearts. Why did Emperor Chongzhen trust Xingguo Gong so much, and what was the relationship between the two of them?

It's like if the prince of Xingguo says one, the emperor will say one; Even if the emperor says two at the beginning, he will immediately change his words and say one! This...... That's an exaggeration, isn't it?

"Your Majesty, if you can really recruit this little Yuan camp and make it really available to the imperial court, the situation in the Central Plains can be reversed immediately!" Min Hongxue frowned and said, "With this army, supplemented by the Beijing camp, and combined with Bai Guangen and other five-way guerrillas, we will have an advantage over Zuo Liangyu's department." If you can defeat Zuo Liangyu's department, you can go west to Kaifeng to fight a decisive battle with Li thief, and if you go south, you can join forces with Huang Degong's department to attack Zhang Xianzhong and other thieves. ”

After saying this, he said helplessly: "However, the variables of Zhao'an's little Yuan camp are too great, and they will affect the situation, once they rebel against the imperial court, the situation will be worse than ever." The strategy of recruitment, be cautious, be cautious! ”

The cabinet assistant minister Du Yinxi also immediately agreed, agreeing with the military department's analysis of the current situation, and also strongly advocating that Zhaoan should be cautious.

Needless to say, others also agreed, and for a while, the opinions in the Wenhua Hall were basically one-sided.

If Zhao'an is successful, the situation will be very favorable; Conversely, if Zhao'an fails, the situation will be very serious. After Emperor Chongzhen understood this, his heart was even more urgent, so he hurriedly said a little impatiently: "Okay, then today's meaning is like this for the time being, Zhuqing will go and get busy first, Mr. stay, I still have something to ask!" ”

These people in the Wenhua Hall are all human spirits, and when they heard it, they knew that Emperor Chongzhen probably wanted to ask the Duke of Guo about this Zhao'an in private. However, although they thought of this, they just couldn't understand why they should be allowed to retreat, could there be something about this Zhao'an, and they couldn't let them know?

Although they wondered in their hearts, the emperor had already said so, and they were helpless, so they had to retreat.

Wang Chengen was also curious in his heart, and wanted to stay and listen, but he had no choice but to see Emperor Chongzhen speak, so he had to reluctantly leave the Wenhua Hall with other civil officials.

In the end, even the palace maids withdrew from the Wenhua Palace, and Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly asked Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, this little Yuan Ying is also famous in later generations?" ”

After finishing speaking, seeing that Zhang Mingwei really nodded, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Please come quickly, Mr., can you really recruit Anzhi?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen heard the words of the military department just now. If he can really recruit An, the situation will be greatly beneficial to the imperial court, which is something he is very much looking forward to.

Zhang Mingwei naturally saw Emperor Chongzhen's eagerness, and he didn't ink, so he immediately introduced him: "According to the information I saw, the leader of this little Yuan camp is called Yuan Shizhong, which is different from ordinary thieves. At the beginning, Henan, Hebei, and Shandong were forced to rebel when there was a great hunger, but they always had the intention of being recruited. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard him begin to introduce, he listened attentively.

After he was defeated by the imperial court, he defected to Li Zicheng, but he couldn't get along. What's more critical is that at this time, Li Zicheng has already grown up and has the ambition to change the dynasty, so he wants to annex other thieves to strengthen himself, and unify the command to fight for the ...... of the world"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's face was very unsightly. Even if he knew that he was finally forced to death by Li Zicheng, he was still very unhappy when he heard that Li Zicheng had the ambition to change the dynasty.

"If it is developed according to the original history, that Cao Cao and Luo Rucai's department will be annexed by Li Zicheng, and Luo Rucai will also be killed by Li Zicheng. Yuan Shizhong noticed this in time, so he went to the south to defect to Zhang Xianzhong. But at this time, Zhang Xianzhong actually had this thought. Yuan Shizhong was afraid, so he separated from Zhang Xianzhong again......"

"Then he will surrender to the court?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his heart moved, and he hurriedly asked eagerly.

Zhang Mingwei shook his head and said, "At that time, he was in contact with the governor of the imperial court to suppress thieves, but he never made up his mind. He also took the initiative to tell the court that he would kill the rebel generals of the court as a meeting gift for Zhao'an. But in the end, this matter was not clearly recorded in the history books, and it did not succeed in the end......"

"And what happened to him in the end?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he suddenly became a little anxious in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

Zhang Mingwei listened, sighed and said: "In the end, he went to Li Zicheng's side again, and then he was killed by Li Zicheng, and the army was annexed. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, this was not the same as he imagined, so he frowned and said to Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, if you look at these things, it's not sure if he really wants to be recruited, right?" ”

Zhang Mingwei listened, nodded and said, "From these things alone, it is indeed difficult to make a conclusion about him. But he still has something, I didn't say anything about it just now! ”

As soon as he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but have another glimmer of hope, and hurriedly asked, "What else is going on?" ”

Zhang Mingwei's face showed a trace of respect, and he said solemnly: "According to the original historical development, in October this year, Jianyu entered the Kou again under the leadership of the slave chief Azig and wreaked havoc in the Guannei. This Yuan Shizhong was originally in the south, and after hearing about it, he resolutely led the army north to fight against Jianyu! ”

As soon as he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen showed an expression of disbelief, he was a thief, and he would even take the initiative to run from the south to the north to fight with Jianyu, didn't he know the prestige of Jianlu's army?

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen so surprised, Zhang Mingwei understood very well. When he first found out this information, he was also quite surprised. Therefore, he continued to introduce: "After he led the army to the north, it seems that Jinan Mansion was captured by Jianguo again, and he defeated the Jianguo in Jinan, mainly the Mongolian Eight Banners, and saved the people of the Ming Dynasty who were plundered. Here, there is one thing that surprises me quite a bit. ”

As soon as he heard what surprised the Duke of Xingguo, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be very curious, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Mingwei said seriously: "After he rescued those people, he told them that if there are still people at home, let them go back, and give each person fifty wen for the journey." Not only that, but his army did not plunder the people, so he was called a Buddhist soldier by the people! ”

Emperor Chongzhen was really shocked when he heard this, this kind of thing, even the officials and soldiers of the imperial court can't do it, right? He was a little incredulous, so he confirmed, "Sir, is this serious?" ”

Zhang Mingwei listened, spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it is true or false in the historical materials, I can't be sure!" ”

Speaking of this, he straightened his attitude, and said: "It is also based on this historical material that I thought that this little Yuan camp should be able to recruit An." As for what the hell, won't we find out when the time comes? ”

In other words, there is still a possibility of Zhao'an's success in this matter, but there is no way to guarantee it. When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he began to think about this matter in his heart.

Zhang Mingwei saw him looking down and thinking, so he said: "Your Majesty, it is very important whether this little Yuan Ying is recruited now. And with my reputation and identity, I think that if I go to contact this little Yuan Ying, maybe Zhao'an will have a greater chance of success. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen raised his head and looked at him, and said a little worriedly: "If Mr. is personally presiding over this matter, how can he contact him?" I think I'm going to go out of Beijing, what if it's different from the record, isn't it dangerous for sir? ”
