Wen Anzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

He also thought that Gao Guiying would put forward any conditions, but who knew that it was just such a simple request.

He can guarantee this request to Gao Guiying.

"You can rest assured that as long as you sincerely submit to the court, the court will definitely treat you equally."

Gao Guiying nodded: "In this case, we are willing to surrender." ”

...

...

Wen Anzhi immediately presented the good news of the surrender of Gao Guiying, Tian Jianxiu and other remnants of the Shun army to the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Cihong was also in a good mood after seeing this recital.

After the Battle of Jiugong Mountain, the remnants of this Shun army fled all the way, which was a piece of Zhu Cihong's heart.

Now that the remnants of the Shun army have surrendered, this heart disease has been removed, and he at least doesn't have to be distracted by this matter in a short time.

Of course, how to place this Shun army is also a difficult problem.

It is certainly not possible to let them stay in Guangdong.

God knows if this Shun army will one day be unhappy and rebel again.

The best option is to place it on the front line.

Huguang was originally a good choice, but now Huguang is too crowded.

The original Zuo Liangyu Division, Li Guo, Gao Yigong Division, and even Huang Degong's Department were all crowded in Huguang.

There is simply no room for an army of tens of thousands of people.

There is another point that Zhu Cihong is afraid of. That is, if Li Guo and Gao Yigong converge with Tian Jianxiu and Liu Fangliang, they will have the intention of rebellion.

After all, they were not enough to threaten the imperial court alone.

But if the army is combined, it can reach at least six or seven percent of the scale of the heyday of the Shun army.

This force is enough to threaten the imperial court.

Human desires are constantly expanding.

Maybe now Li Guo and the others feel that it is enough to have a marquis' gift. But when its strength is close to the imperial court, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not have the intention of replacing it.

Therefore, in a short period of time, Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu must not be allowed to have a chance to join forces.

Jiangxi's words are not suitable either.

First, Jiangxi is not at the forefront of the anti-Qing resistance.

Such a sharp knife naturally has to be used in the most critical position, and it is too wasteful to put it in Huguang.

Second, Hao Shaoqi has already invested in Yuan Jixian's account.

And Hao Shaoqi was considered a treacherous traitor by Tian Jianxiu and other generals.

If they continue to work together, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no infighting or even a fight.

Therefore, where there is Hao Shaoqi, it is best not to arrange the Shun army.

As for Shandong, it is a good choice, but Gao Jie is now in the limelight, and it is not easy for the court to mediate in case of a turf fight with the generals of the Shun army.

After thinking about it, Zhu Cihong found that there is no perfect way.

In the end, it was Lu Zhenfei, the secretary of the military department, who made a suggestion to Zhu Cihong - let Wen Anzhi take the remnants of the Shun army to Sichuan.

Of course, at present, the actual control of the Ming army is the Chongqing region, and the entire western Sichuan is under the control of Zhang Xianzhong.

Wen Anzhi succeeded Chen Shiqi as governor of Sichuan, and his main task was to hold Chongqing and recapture Chengdu.

The former is a must, the latter optional. It's best to be able to do it naturally, and if you really can't do it, you can put it first.

Originally, Zhu Cihong wanted to rely on Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, to lead Yunnan soldiers into Sichuan to contain Zhang Xianzhong, so as to relieve the pressure on Chongqing. However, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and can only delay Zhang Xianzhong for a while. Moreover, it is not known whether the entry of the Qian'an army into Sichuan will cause the Lu'an Rebellion to break out in advance.

If this move really led to the outbreak of the Extravagant Rebellion ahead of time, it would be too much to lose.

After considering it comprehensively, Zhu Cihong still thought that the risk of transferring troops into Sichuan was too great, and it was not a wise move.

In contrast, it would be much better to order Wen Anzhi to lead the remnants of the Shun army who had just surrendered to Chongqing to garrison against Zhang Xianzhong.

First of all, this army was "free".

In the original plan, there was no such army at all, so there was no need to use it in vain.

Secondly, the combat effectiveness of the rest of the Shun army was no worse than that of the Qianbing soldiers, and even surpassed them.

Then the actual benefits of reinforcing Chongqing by the Shun Army will obviously be greater, and maybe even Chengdu can be taken down in one go.

As for Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, who were born in the peasant army, there is no need to worry too much about whether the generals of the Shun army will release water before the battle.

First of all, the honeymoon period of the Western Army and the Shun Army has long passed.

Later, in order to compete for the world, he even turned against each other for a time.

There is only one emperor's throne, Zhang Xianzhong is the emperor, and Li Zicheng can't do it. The reverse is also true.

At this point, the contradiction between the two armies of Xishun was no less than that between the Western army and the Ming court.

As long as Zhu Cihong can give the Shun army fair treatment and let them see hope, he believes that the generals of the Shun army are willing to sacrifice their lives for the imperial court.

As for Wen Anzhi's ability, there is no doubt about it.

During the original historical Chinese An Zhi served as the Sichuan Governor, he successfully completed the task assigned by the Yongli Emperor, twisted the originally loose "Thirteen Families" into a rope, and resisted the Manchu Qing until the last moment.

The current situation is obviously much better than in the Yongli period, and Wen Anzhi has no reason to mess up this errand.

For Wen Anzhi and the generals of the Shun army who surrendered, this is a great opportunity.

Wen Anzhi needed this opportunity to prove his abilities. The generals of the Shun army needed this opportunity to prove their loyalty.

...

...

The Son of Heaven issued a holy decree and ordered Wen Anzhi to lead the rest of the Shun army to reinforce Chongqing.

This decree was raised in an uproar.

Under the leadership of the official of the Department of Science and Daoyan and the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a group of courtiers went up one after another to reprimand the Son of Heaven for his irresponsible actions.

In the eyes of the ministers, the Son of Heaven is an example for all people, and filial piety should be put in the first place. The Shun army was the culprit who attacked Shenjing and forced Emperor Lie to death. Today, instead of forgiving them for giving them the status of officers and soldiers, he also entrusted them with such an important task as reinforcing Chongqing.

This is simply against the way of the Son of Man and the King of Man, and breaks through their bottom line!

They choose to speak out, even if they are punished by the court staff and beheaded.

Kong said Chengren and Meng said to take righteousness, for the sake of the Tao in their hearts, they don't mind blood splashing five steps!

Zhu Cihong didn't expect the reaction of the hundred officials to be so strong.

In his opinion, as long as all the responsibility of Shunjun is put on Li Zicheng, it is enough.

With Li Zicheng's death, this debt can be written off with it.

But now it seems that he clearly thought things simple.

The people of this era, especially the scholar class, regard filial piety as more important than anything else, and in Zhu Cihong's consciousness, he can only punish Li Zicheng as the first evil. But in the eyes of the scholars, all the generals and even the soldiers of the Shun army were accomplices and sinners who forced the emperor to death.

These sinners cannot be forgiven, and they must be punished in order to thank the world.

There was a serious conflict between the monarch and the minister on this issue. Zhu Cihong left all the music in the middle and did not send it, which completely angered the officials. They decided to plan a massive operation to exhort the Son of Heaven!
