[236] Li Dingguo's choice

Kunming City University Campus

Li Dingguo, who was tired, was watching the three-service drill on the parade platform, which was the last military force of Onishi. Whether Kunming can hold it or not depends on them. "Hold on? Should we stick to it? Li Dingguo recalled the debacle at Kowloon Bay three days earlier, and the words of his own soldier Li Fu when he returned from the Ming barracks.

Then. Liu Wenxiu suddenly hurried to the parade platform, very eager, but said very quietly: "Dingguo." Big things are wrong! ”

Li Dingguo Huo Ran turned around. Ning Sheng asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Wenxiu said gloomily: "Big brother~~ Big brother followed his father!" ”

"Ah~~~ Alas!!!" Li Dingguo was stunned at first, and then looked up to the sky and sighed. Although after returning from Kowloon Bay, Sun Kewang was seriously injured and difficult to treat, everything was expected by Li Dingguo. But when I heard the news, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Poof!" Li Dingguo opened his mouth and squirted out a mouthful of blood. Backwards. Liu Wenxiu and several generals on the solemn parade platform hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Dingguo sit up. It took a while. Li Dingguo woke up quietly. He howled to the sky, beat his chest and said, "Father, father...... I, Li Dingguo, am incompetent, I can't save your country, and I can't save my eldest brother's life! I'm damned, I'm incompetent~~~! ”

Li Dingguo is an orphan. Before he was three years old, he was exiled with his parents. On the way, both parents died in the war. If it weren't for Zhang Xianzhong's adoption of him. He would have frozen to death and starved to death in the wilderness. Therefore, Li Dingguo has a deep affection for Zhang Xianzhong. The vomiting of blood and fainting just now was not a show. It's out of true feelings.

"Dingguo~~Don't blame yourself too much~~" Liu Wenxiu said miserably. "Not only did my father die in battle. The eldest brother was also killed. What do we do now? Liu Wenxiu looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers who were still standing neatly and solemnly in the audience, "Can't we be too selfish?" These people also have parents, wives and children~~"

"Ugh." Li Dingguo let out a long sigh and said gloomily. "Let's set up my brother's funeral hall first."

The Onishi generals headed by Liu Wenxiu insisted on supporting Li Dingguo to succeed him. Yan Ximing, the right prime minister who was not very compatible with Li Dingguo, was also abnormal. Support Li Dingguo to succeed to the throne as emperor. Surprisingly, though. Li Dingguo resolutely refused. Liu Wenxiu and others begged bitterly. Li Dingguo was unmoved.

Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye, and during the first seven years of Sun Kewang's reign, the Ming army seems to have a tacit understanding and demeanor, but it is stationed in the northeast of Kunming, and there has never been any military action, and there is no danger at all.

On the eighth day, Sun Kewang had passed, and the civil officials were represented by Yan Ximing, Wang Guolin, Jiang Dingzhen, and Gong Wanjing, and the military attaches were represented by Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Zhang Guangbi, and Feng Shuangli.

Li Dingguo was kneeling in front of the spiritual seats of Zhang and Sun to guard filial piety, under the guidance of the celebrant officer. Yan Ximing, Liu Wenxiu and others knelt three times and kowtowed nine times to the spiritual seat. Only then did they gather in front of Li Dingguo. Yan Ximing rushed forward and said: "As the saying goes, the three armies cannot be without a commander for a day. The country cannot be without a king for a day, why didn't the king of Anxi ascend the throne as soon as possible? Lead an army against enemy soldiers? ”

"Dingguo~" Liu Wenxiu also said. "Before the first seven, you said it was not the time, but now the first seven have passed. Seeing that the Ming army is about to enter Kunming, if you don't ascend the throne and give orders, then the Great Western Kingdom will be in chaos, and the country that your father and brother fought with their lives will be destroyed! ”

"Report~~" Just when everyone wanted to persuade them again, suddenly the soldiers came to report, indicating that the army sent a messenger to offer condolences

"Dragged out and cut ~~" Liu Wenxiu said angrily: "The cat cries and the mouse is fake mercy~!" ”

"Wait~" Yan Ximing shook his head and said: "The two countries are fighting each other, and they will not kill them." Since they are here to mourn, it is just that we don't see it, and we don't ask about beheading the messenger, but it seems that we are stingy. ”

Li Dingguo also nodded and said: "Yes, listen to what he says, it's a big deal to blast out with a stick!" ”

A short, thin old man was brought into the main hall by two Onishi forbidden soldiers. Looking around, I saw that the main hall was full of vegetarian food, and a young general was wearing filial piety clothes and sitting on the throne, thinking that it was Li Dingguo. On both sides of the main hall, there are civil and military generals of the Great Western Kingdom, who are also wearing filial piety clothes and have solemn expressions.

The little old man didn't bow or kneel, with a smug smile of a worldly master, he asked Li Dingguo, "This must be General Li Dingguo, right?" ”

"Presumptuous!" The little old man's voice fell. Liu Wenxiu came out and shouted. "Can you also call the name of the king of Anxi? Come! ”

"In!" Two Sergeants Onishi had already stepped forward. stared at the little old man viciously

Liu Wenxiu waved his hand and shouted, "Drag this guy down...... Chopped. ”

"Yes!" The two Onishi sergeants suddenly agreed, pounced fiercely, cut the little old man's hands behind his back, and were about to drag him out

"Wait." Li Dingguo raised his hand and said. "Don't be rude, don't step down quickly." Li Dingguo spoke, and the two Onishi sergeants did not dare to slack off. Retreated.

Li Dingguo stopped the two Onishi sergeants. Then he asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency's name?" ”

The little old man said proudly: "Little old man Song Xiance~~"

"Song Xiance? Isn't it Li Zicheng's military advisor? There was an uproar in the hall

"It turned out to be King Li Chuang's military advisor~~" Li Dingguo teased, "I don't know what the Song military advisor has to do?" Come to be a lobbyist for Song Youliang? ”

Liu Wenxiu interjected: "Or are you going to tell us the King of Anxi that the Li of the eighteenth son is not Li Zicheng, but our King of Anxi, Li Dingguo?" ”

"On the orders of An Guogong." Song Xiance shook his fists in the northeast direction and said loudly. "A word for General Lee."

Li Dingguo said with a smile: "I would like to hear about it." ”

Song Xiance said with a smile: "Whether it is the army, the Great Western Army, or the official army. Everyone is Han, a descendant of Yan and Huang, and a descendant of Chinese Miao. Since everyone is Han Chinese, why bother killing each other? At that time, the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty killed the world, and the five Hu people took the opportunity to mess with my China, and the past is unbearable! As long as the Great Western Army is willing to accept the reorganization, An Guogong assures everyone that he will never embarrass anyone. If General Lee and the Onishi generals are obsessed......"

Liu Wenxiu took a step forward and said angrily: "What about it? ”

Song Xiance sighed, a trace of cold murder suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said indifferently: "If they are all like King Funan, I am afraid that the whole Yunnan will be full of corpses, ten rooms and nine emptiness!" Could it be that King Funan, you are here to kill living beings? ”

Liu Wenxiu was speechless for a while, and the civil and military generals in the palace also had different expressions, but Li Dingguo was silent and expressionless

Song Xiance turned his eyes again and asked Liu Wenxiu: "Dare to ask King Funan, what is the reason for the rebellion of the Great Western Army?" ”

Liu Wenxiu replied without thinking: "Of course, it's to have something to eat." Emperor Ming is absurd and unreasonable. The government is in decline, so that the people of the world are not able to make a living. Why didn't such a court oppose him? Only by reversing the mediocre court and establishing a new dynasty of the Holy Ming can the common people in the whole world have food to eat and live a good life. ”

"Oh, hehehe~~" Song Xiance smiled strangely: "The Dashun army also rebelled for this. Eventually, they established the Great Shun Kingdom. But are the people of Dashun living a good life? No! Breaking the old and establishing the new, it is easy to break the old and difficult to establish the new~~ Look at Shunjun, what did you do after entering Beijing? ”

Song Xiance pointed to the people in the hall again, "Look at your Daxi again, after so many years of fighting, have the people lived a good life?" Have you had food to eat and clothes to wear? ”

Liu Wenxiu was silent again, and everyone in the palace was also silent, of course they knew that what Song Xiance said was the truth.

Song Xiance continued: "Let's talk about the current Hongde Imperial Court. The current imperial court is no longer the Chongzhen Dynasty. Under the governance of the Duke of An Guo and the Minister of Loyalty. The current imperial court is clear and clear. The world is stable. Sichuan is close at hand, and you should be able to see what Sichuan is like under your governance. What about Sichuan under the governance of the Hongde Dynasty~! “

"So what?" Liu Wenxiu argued, "There is no owner in the world, only the virtuous live in it, why should the Zhu family sit in this world, why can't I sit in the world?" ”

Song Xiance sneered: "So the rebellion of the Great Western Army is not for the people of the world to have something to eat. And just to be able to sit in the Dragon Court? ”

Liu Wenxiu said: "What's the matter? ”

"Then there's not much to say." Song Xiance Huo Ran turned around and said proudly: "Then we have to see who has the greatest ability~~"

Ai Nengqi said: "I know you want to explain that the firearms are powerful, and our army is difficult to beat, but our Daxi soldiers are not greedy for life and afraid of death." Let's talk about the ability~~ The battle of Liaokou Mountain, if it weren't for the traitors, I'm afraid that today I would have gone to Beijing to say these words to the surnamed Song~~"

Song Xiance smiled and said, "Okay, it's useless to talk more, then let's compare our skills~~!" ”

"Than what?" Enchi asked

"Shoot the target!" Song Xiance said, "I asked my guards to perform firearms, and you can shoot arrows King Dingbei, is it okay?" ”

Ai Nengqi is a good archer, and when he heard that he was going to shoot a target, he said proudly: "If you want to humiliate yourself, I won't stop you!" ”

At that moment, two targets were placed in the open space outside the main hall. Ainengqi bent his bow and pulled arrows, swooped three arrows in a row, snatched three times, and everyone looked at the three feathered arrows and red hearts.

"Good!" Liu Wenxiu cheered loudly, looking at the Ming musketeers proudly

The musketeer did not shoot at the target, but took out a helmet and hung it on the target, and walked two hundred paces away

Woohoo

The musketeers fired three shots in succession, and when everyone looked at the helmet again, the auspicious cloud branches on both sides of the cheeks were knocked off, and the helmet cherry blossoms on the top of their heads were also shot down

Everyone was shocked that the muskets of the Ming army were so powerful

At this time, everyone only heard Li Dingguo sigh. said: "Please Mr. Song reply to An Guogong, the Great Western Army is willing to accept the reorganization!" ”

"Huh!?"

"What?"

Liu Wenxiu, Yan Ximing and others in the main hall were all shocked when they heard this. Liu Wenxiu jumped up even more anxiously. He said loudly: "Didn't you bury the foundation that your father had worked so hard to lay? Are you doing this right, the spirit of your father in heaven? ”

Yan Ximing also said: "How can you win or lose by shooting a target?" ”

Song Xiance bowed his hand respectfully to Li Dingguo, and said solemnly: "General Li is wise!" ”

Li Dingguo's expression gradually became solemn. said solemnly: "If my father has a spirit in the sky." He would also support Dingguo in doing so. The Han nation has shed too much blood. Too much has already been suffered. We can no longer kill each other. We can't bleed any more......"

"That~that~~" Liu Wenxiu still couldn't accept it for a while

Li Dingguo said: "Do you remember the battle of Kowloon Bay, when my helmet was hit twice? ”

Liu Wenxiu said: "Doesn't that mean that there is a blessing from the gods? ”

Li Dingguo said with a smile: "It seems that Fang Cai's target, you still don't understand!" ”

Liu Wenxiu thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized: "You mean that the army deliberately did not shoot~~~" Liu Wenxiu fell into silence for the third time

Li Dingguo got up and said, "People have already surrounded me twice, how can I, Li Dingguo, be so ignorant?" Even if I have to carry it to the death, I can't pull tens of thousands of innocent brothers! ”

In August of the second year of Hongde, the Great Western Army surrendered to the Hongde Dynasty under the leadership of Li Dingguo and accepted the reorganization. At this point, three-quarters of the world is already Hongde's world
