At this time, Zhang Mingwei was no longer limited to Kaifeng Mansion, but also the neighboring Henan Mansion and Guide Mansion, and all of them began to rectify.

Henan Mansion, which originally belonged to King Fu's field, was either killed by Li Zicheng or fled to other places because of King Fu's lineage. Zhang Mingwei played honestly and unceremoniously, saying that Prince Fu was not filial and left the fief without the permission of the imperial court, and asked the imperial court to investigate his responsibility and take it as a precaution for others.

Therefore, another large piece of land was confiscated, including the fields that were donated to King Fu, and they were also treated in the same way as Kaifeng Mansion.

As for the side of Guide Mansion, the biggest landlord is Hou Sui. Not to mention, rebelling against the imperial court, that is the crime of the Jiu clan, and the fields and everything will naturally be gone.

This can be regarded as another kind of land reform, which has been vigorously carried out in the Central Plains.

These things are easier said than done, but it will take a lot of time to do.

On this day, when Zhang Mingwei was busy with these things, suddenly Lan Tianbao hurriedly entered, with surprise on his face, and said to Zhang Mingwei: "Master, the Li Laiheng who was captured last time came to surrender with about a thousand cavalry!" ”

This Li Laiheng is also famous among the thieves in Li Zicheng's department. The last time I was captured, my attitude was very resolute, and the stones in the pit belonged to the stinky and hard kind.

Therefore, Lan Tianbao suggested to Zhang Mingwei at that time that he should kill Li Laiheng, a stubborn thief, directly.

It was also the case, when he heard that Li Laiheng actually led the army to surrender, he was really quite surprised.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he was also very happy, and immediately asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"It's just outside the city, watched by Bai Guangen's department, waiting for the master to deal with it." Lan Tianbao replied immediately.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he immediately put down the affairs in his hand and said with a smile: "This is a good sign, let's go, go and see!" ”

Princess Kunxing on the side listened, of course, it was based on Zhang Mingwei's opinion, and she didn't say anything about losing her identity to meet the thieves with the respect of the princess, and followed him out of the palace together.

When she was on the road, seeing Zhang Mingwei looking very happy, Zhu Yujiao felt something, so she drove her horse closer, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Sir, could this Li Laiheng be also famous?" ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard it, he turned his head to look at her and said with a smile and in a low voice: "During the Southern Ming Dynasty, the resistance to the Manchu Qing Dynasty to the end was headed by the Thirteen Families. When the camp was finally breached by the Manchus, he led his family to self-immolation and died, not giving in to the Manchus. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yujiao's face couldn't help but be full of admiration, and she hurriedly said: "What a good man, Mr. should be able to use him well, right?" ”

"Of course, although he is young now, he is also a fierce general, if he can serve the country, this is also a good thing!" Zhang Mingwei heard this, and immediately said with emotion.

For the thieves, Zhang Mingwei has always pursued a strategy of recruiting security. Only in this way will the Ming Dynasty not be greatly damaged by excessive internal friction.

In fact, after so many years of civil war, the Ming Dynasty has been greatly injured. What we need to do now is to reduce this internal friction as much as possible.

Zhang Mingwei's goal is to dominate the world. If this generation loses too much, and when the next generation grows up to compete for global domination, he will be old.

With this in mind, the group quickly arrived outside the city.

Just outside the city gate, on the edge of the official road, three or four thousand court officials and soldiers formed a large circle, and inside was a cavalry, but they were not on horses, and they all dismounted and stood there. From their messy clothing, you can tell that this is a group of thieves.

There were many people watching and pointing on the official road outside.

"You don't know, this time the thieves are here to surrender on their own initiative."

"Oh, and such a thing? Seeing that they are all cavalry, they should all be the elite of thieves, right? They even took the initiative to surrender? ”

"I'm also a little surprised, but I saw them coming with my own eyes, and then General Bai kept them under surveillance, they didn't come to surrender, did they come to do something?"

"Haha, in this way, the world is peaceful!"

"Yes, even the elite of the thieves took the initiative to come and surrender, and the peaceful days are not far away!"

“……”

While they were discussing, they suddenly saw a bunch of brocade guards rushing at the city gate, and they immediately knew that it was Xingguo Gong who had arrived. Because only by the side of Xingguo Gong can there be a brocade guard.

The people who were watching were surprised that Xingguo Gong came out in person, but then they were also excited, and there was excitement to see.

"Xingguo Gong is here, Xingguo Gong is here......"

Someone immediately shouted, and took the initiative to get out of the way to welcome Xingguogong.

Bai Guangen heard the movement, turned his head to look, and hurriedly greeted you, and after seeing you, he said differently: "Guogong, it is really Li Zicheng's thief's guard commander, and Li Laiheng, the fierce general in Li Thief's army, is right." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and then hurriedly added: "Then Li Laiheng also said that he came to surrender, but there is one condition, it must be agreed by the Guogong." ”

"Oh?" When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he was a little curious, so he smiled and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

The commander of his guard was Liu Jin, but he became nervous, and immediately stepped forward with the brocade guards to closely monitor the thieves, while he himself followed closely by Zhang Mingwei's side.

In fact, although Bai Guangen's side did not confiscate all the weapons of the thieves, they were all staring at them, and anyone who showed signs of moving to get weapons would also take the first step.

But even so, when Li Laiheng saw that Xingguo Gong really appeared in front of him, he was actually surprised and grateful in his heart.

Surprised, he didn't expect that with the respect of the country, he would really go out of the city. Thankfully, Xingguo Gong actually believed him and came to see him like this.

Therefore, when he saw Xingguo Gong coming, he took the initiative to kneel on one knee, straighten his upper body, looked at Xingguo Gong, and said straight to the point: "I don't want to fight with the court anymore, I am willing to fight for the peace of the world under Guogong, but I have one condition, and I must agree to it!" ”

When the other thieves saw him, they also followed his example and knelt down on one knee. But they didn't speak, because Li Laiheng was already speaking on their behalf.

Zhang Mingwei was very happy when he heard Li Laiheng say "fight for the peace of the world", and immediately said with a smile: "It's rare that you actually said that you fought for the peace of the world, good!" As long as your conditions are not excessive, I can satisfy you. Even if I need the emperor's nod, I will play the emperor. ”

While speaking, he had already decided in his heart that he wanted to publicize Li Laiheng as a model, so that it would be beneficial for more thieves with conscience, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and end the war as soon as possible.

Bai Guangen on the side listened to it, and couldn't help but be very envious in his heart, at this time, if Li Laiheng proposed to be the chief soldier, it could be heard from the tone of Xingguo Gong, it is estimated that Xingguo Gong would also agree. This is a bit high at a start, and I think back then, I was just a capital company.

Of course, Li Laiheng also heard this meaning, and to be honest, he actually didn't understand it.

From the first time Xingguo Gong saw him, he actually felt that Xingguo Gong seemed to have a good impression of him. Including those words of persuasion, though they seemed to be spoken to all their captives, he felt that it was the point to be addressed to him.

Now that he has come to surrender, Xingguo Gong should not put his identity on the table, and he doesn't seem to be afraid that he is here to assassinate him, so he believes in himself.

Generally speaking, this seems unlikely, Xingguo Gong is really so optimistic about himself and believes in himself?

Thinking so in his heart, he immediately said loudly: "Guogong misunderstood, I, Li Laiheng, am willing to fight under Guogong, I don't ask for high-ranking officials, it doesn't matter if I am just a small soldier, I just beg Guogong to agree, I and my brothers, don't be transferred to fight with Li Zicheng's troops." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei was slightly stunned. Although he can ask Li Laiheng, isn't Li Zicheng the biggest culprit who harms the world and makes the world the troubled times, you are not fighting for the peace of the world, what does it mean if you don't fight with him?

However, Zhang Mingwei didn't ask in the end, that is, he didn't force Li Laiheng to do this, but nodded and said understandingly: "Okay, I promise you!" ”

At this time, Li Laiheng was already mentally prepared, and waited for Xingguo Gong to ask him why, but he didn't expect that Xingguo Gong didn't even ask, so he agreed directly.

Therefore, he was unexpected, but stunned.

Zhang Mingwei didn't care about him, but glanced at the rogue cavalry in front of him, most of whom were young men like Li Laiheng.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Mingwei had an idea in his heart, and immediately Li Laiheng said: "Now the rebellion under the heavens, in addition to the thieves, there is also the disaster of Liaodong slaves. I ask you, do you dare to go to war with Jianyu? ”

For Li Laiheng, as long as he doesn't fight Li Zicheng, he doesn't care about the others.

The so-called Ming army was afraid of Liaodong Jianlu, but in fact, it was not so exaggerated at all. Otherwise, in the original history, Yuan Shizhong would not have taken the initiative to go north to meet Jianguo after hearing that Jianyu had entered the Kou.

Not to mention, a fierce general like Li Laiheng will not be afraid of Liaodong Jianyu.

So, Li Laiheng replied without hesitation: "Why don't you dare? ”

The companions behind him also followed suit and said, "Dare! ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he was very happy in his heart, and immediately stretched out his hand to help them, and said loudly to them: "Okay, good, good, get up and talk!" ”

There was no hypocrisy, and Li Laiheng and others stood up one after another.

Zhang Mingwei looked at them and said: "At present, it is almost time, there will be a military operation against Liaodong Jianyu on the Shanhaiguan side, and Li Laiheng will go to Yanyingyuan, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, to report to Yan Yingyuan, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and participate in the operation together." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his voice and said heroically: "You guys go to the front station first, and when we turn back, we will destroy the Liaodong Jianyu, can you?" ”
