Zhang Dingguo was lucky, because he had a captured light steel round shield in his hand, he subconsciously blocked, causing two Mini bullets to hit the steel plate of the round shield and be deeply embedded in it.

Zhang Dingguo, who immediately rolled the saddle and got off the horse and lay on the ground, felt palpitations in his heart, and was extremely glad that the shield did not leave his hand during this time, so that he could escape.

He knew that this stainless steel round shield was one of the standard equipment of the "Red Banner Army", which was captured during the battle with the Ming army's men and horses in Beijing, and the all-steel cuirass on his body was also the same.

Zhang Dingguo understood the importance of equipment more at this time, and his intention to rush out to fight with a bloody courage suddenly faded.

The disparity in strength is obvious, they have fallen into a dead place, and the "Red Flag Army" with a solid chance of victory is playing a good game of cat and mouse.

The 100 of them can't follow Gan Ning's example, and I'm afraid they won't be able to get together a hundred people now, and half of them will burn high incense.

Because in addition to the dead and wounded, there were many frightened, and they should not get up and continue to get on their horses and rush out to fight.

Thinking and thinking, Zhang Dingguo was already cold, even if he led the men who were willing to fight to charge, it would be useless, they couldn't get close to the "Red Banner Army" camp at all, and they would be killed by the gunners halfway.

Zhang Xianzhong, who had just escaped death, was frightened, he finally got acquainted, and said: "Hopefully, you are right, we still have a chance to survive if we surrender, and we will definitely die if we break through." ”

Zhang Nengqi said with a crying voice: "Father-in-law, my eldest brother was beaten to death, and he can't hear you anymore." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xianzhong was even more desperate, he said: "The matter has come to this point, I can only resign myself to fate, Neng Qi, you shouted to the 'Red Flag Army' not to let go of the guns again, let's disarm and surrender."

Zhang Dingguo felt that his face was feverish, but somehow, like a ghost, he actually held back and didn't say a word.

At this time, there was another shout from outside the village, and this time it was the loud man who picked up the horn himself.

"Zhang Xianzhong, if you don't die, listen to Lao Tzu. This official is Yang Dalang, the governor of the left capital of the crown prince Taibao, and the official has personally killed more than 100 Jiannu and Tartars.

Not to mention that there are only one or two hundred of you left, even two hundred tigers are in vain. There is no shame in surrendering the 'Red Banner Army', this is your only chance to survive! ”

Ai Nengqi raised a steel shield, slowly stood up and said in a loud voice: "General Yang, we have decided to disarm and surrender, please pay attention to the military masters, you can't let go of the guns anymore." ”

"Who are you? Was Zhang Xianzhong killed? ”

"Back to General Yang, the youngest is Zhang Nengqi, the righteous son of the Eight Great Kings, my father-in-law is alive, and it is he who ordered us to submit to the 'Red Banner Army'."

"You ask Zhang Xianzhong, do you want to roast the fire, drink wine, and eat meat immediately? If you want, throw away your weapons and take you to the campfire for a roll call. ”

……

At noon the next day, Caozhou was bustling with activity, and the captured Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Liu Guoneng and their hundreds of leaders walked into the city.

Although the "Red Flag Army" is maintaining order, there are countless people who hate these thieves, and there are always sneak attacks on the people, and Zhang Xianzhong and his team are still smashed all over the head by rotten bricks, ice cubes, and tiles.

The "Red Banner Army" promised not to kill prisoners, which did not mean that it would not liquidate its crimes, but except for the most heinous criminals who took pleasure in killing people, the rest were sentenced to labor reform as much as possible.

Even though Zhang Xianzhong's crimes were heinous, Huang Han did not order to be killed.

There is no need to pull hatred by himself, Zhang Xianzhong has repeatedly surrendered and rebelled, and every time he kills Ming officials in the most cruel way, there should be many ministers in the court who hate him even more.

Huang Han decided to send Zhang Xianzhong to Beijing and hand it over to the emperor for disposal, and at the same time, the "Red Flag Daily" published an article exposing the scars, talking about the evil deeds of Xian thief who dug Chongzhen's ancestral grave in Fengyang, the central capital, three years ago.

arranged public opinion to hype up and expose Zhang Xianzhong's crimes again, in case Chongzhen's head was kicked by a donkey again, in case Chongzhen let Zhang Xianzhong go, wouldn't Huang Han be busy in vain?

For this reason, not only did the "Red Flag Daily" publish articles to intensify the hatred of the gentry, the royal family, and the military and the people, but also secretly arranged for Huang Sifang to go to Beijing to sit in the town, and if there was an accident, he would collude with Jinyiwei to ensure that Zhang Xianzhong died in Zhao Prison.

Huang Han sent Zhu Dadian to escort Zhang Xianzhong into Beijing, and gave him a task, to play to the imperial court, requesting that Luo Rucai and Liu Guoneng be exchanged for Zhu Yiming, the king of Qin, Zhu Cunji, the king of Duan, and those county kings and Zhenguo generals.

This is a problem for Chongzhen, whether he agrees or not, it will be detrimental to his reputation.

Chongzhen agreed to exchange for a few princes, even if the result of the final negotiation with Gao Yingxiang could only be exchanged for one person, this prince must be grateful for the life-saving grace of the "King of Hanjiang County", and after returning to the dynasty, I am afraid that he will have to ask the emperor of the current dynasty for an explanation.

The old Zhu family's family business and country were handed over to Chongzhen to take care of, he was so bad that he directly led to the death of the vassal king or being imprisoned, and the vassal king who had gone bankrupt and his family was basically dead would be polite to Chongzhen, the younger emperor, when he came back?

It is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and the royal family members make trouble for family affairs, which should not be underestimated, after all, Chongzhen is not reasonable, after all, the vassal king is the victim, and there are so many clans, and it is enough for Chongzhen to drink a pot.

If Chongzhen does not agree to the exchange, then his caustic reputation will not only be discussed by civil officials and military generals, but the clan will probably be excited, and the situation of rebellion and relatives will not be far away.

Huang Han is also testing Zhu Dadian while giving Chongzhen a problem, and this former member of the Donglin Party can take a clear stand to join the "Red Flag Army" will drive a large area.

It's just that he can't be allowed to step on two boats, and he must be forced to stand in line.

Zhu Dadian is a magistrate, and he cannot enter Beijing without a summons.

Although Huang Han is the only king of the Ming Dynasty, the "King of Hanjiang County", he can't control Caozhou Zhizhou at all.

If Zhu Dadian obeyed the order to escort Zhang Xianzhong into Beijing, the direct consequence would be that Chongzhen thought that he had completely defected to Huang Han and would not be reused in the future.

If it was a few years ago, Zhu Dadian would not have accepted Huang Han's dispatch at all, but time has passed, and he has experienced the offensive and defensive battles of Caozhou.

Zhu Dadian really saw the strength of the "Red Flag Army", and also understood that if it wasn't for the "Red Flag Army" to make a move, he would only have two endings.

The soldiers who held the city were defeated and died.

Abandoned the city and fled, becoming a Ming criminal official.

Seeing that the "King of Hanjiang County" was not seen at all, and directly ordered him to do something, Zhu Dadian did not hesitate at all, agreed on the spot, and said that he would cross the Yellow River north and rush to the capital the next day.

The biggest headache is how to deal with Zhang Xianzhong's three righteous sons?

Zhang Xianzhong is a perverted bastard who kills people like hemp, but Li Dingguo should belong to the category of national heroes, and he has always insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty and dying.

Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu were also major generals in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and they did not surrender to the Manchus until their deaths.

After thinking about it, Huang Han decided to take the risk of taking in the three of them to stay in the guard camp to teach them by word and deed.
