Chapter 120: The Father of Courage - Li Dingguo
Just when Yang Xuan was thinking about how to guide everyone to cast the Franc cannon and the red-clothed cannon, Zhou Zheng, the governor of the Experience Division, hurriedly came and claimed that Zhang Dingguo had passed the checkpoint with a guard, hoping to see Yang Xuan.

Zhang Dingguo? is the Li Dingguo mentioned in history, this Yang Xuan knows, in his previous life, China and Myanmar were in an uproar, and the Kokang clan appeared in cyberspace many times.
Through the Kokang clan, he received Li Dingguo, which is now Zhang Dingguo.
After Zhang Xianzhong died in battle, Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and others led their troops to occupy Yungui and unite with the Southern Ming Dynasty.
This Li Dingguo is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and is a recognized national hero in the Han historiography.
It turned out that Zhang Wenxiu, the general of Funan in the western part of the country, led tens of thousands of troops down the Fujiang River to attack Zeng Yingbu in Chongqing Prefecture, but unexpectedly, Chen Huaixi commanded the infantry army, naval army, and cavalry of the loyal and righteous army in the upper reaches of the Jialing River, so it was difficult to complete the battle in one battle.
Seeing that less than 2,000 soldiers and horses were entangled in Zhang Wenxiu's tens of thousands of troops, Zhang Dingguo in Tongchuan Prefecture was quite surprised, coupled with all kinds of legends about Yang Xuan and the loyal army, he decided to go to Shunqing Mansion to force Yang Xuan to withdraw his troops.
Yang Xuan ordered the city gate to be opened, and sent the commander of the guard battalion (general) Cao Zhang to personally welcome Zhang Dingguo into the Yamen of the Shunqing Prefect's Mansion.
Zhang Dingguo is twenty-four or five years old, three or four years older than Yang Xuan, tall and strong, about one meter eight or more tall, with a national character face, although it has now reached the dog days, but he still wears a golden helmet, wears cotton armor, wears a coat, holds a sword, and his two eyes are particularly large, shining brightly, and he is not angry and arrogant.
Sitting at the top, the two looked at each other, and only for thirty seconds did they remove their eyes, strode to the center of the hall, and then arched their hands slightly, which was considered a salute.
Everyone next to him was furious, Qian Bangqi, Cao Zhang and others rushed out to accuse Zhang Dingguo of being rude, Yang Xuan smiled embarrassedly, he is Daming, and he is Daxi, there is no need to make a miasma for this kind of thing.
Yang Xuan let him sit left and right, and after he sat down, he arched his hand and said: "This official has heard that the general's surname is Li, he is a son of a good family, and the general is also a loyal and righteous man, unfortunately he was in the army, and was accepted as a righteous son by General Zhang.
Although General Li is deeply trapped in the rogues, the general has the name of the lieutenant Chi, and has the prestige of 10,000 enemies, although you and I are in different camps, but the general shot the divine crossbow Zhang Ling, led 26 cavalry to raid Xiangyang, the general's prestige is known to the world, and Xuan admires it. ”
Li Dingguo stood proudly, although his expression was solemn, but his face slowed down slightly, and he arched his hand: "General Yang has a good reputation, Dingguo is just a military general, although you and I are in different camps, but the general is both civil and military, the general is an official and has a clear reputation, and Dingguo is also quite admired." ”
Yang Xuan arched his hand to the east and said: "General, General Zhang is not good to comment on as a person, but this official has heartfelt words, if the general can report to General Zhang, if General Zhang, or the general can practice it in the future, it will not be a loss for a good man to come to the world." ”
Li Dingguo was slightly stunned, shook his head and said: "Dingguo came this time, I hoped that the general would agree, but now the general is the first to mention it, and I hope the general will say it first." ”
Yang Xuan stood up and sighed: "General Li, two days ago, I was discussing with Qian Yushi, Fan Tongzhi, and Zhao Tongzhi, and I think that the current situation is a hundred or a thousand times more dangerous than in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty.
In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, our Han nation was not divided, and under the rule of our Great Song Dynasty, there was nothing enough to shake the rule of the imperial court.
The first two **** and others got the news that Houjin had defeated Li Zicheng's main force at the beginning of January, controlled the general's hometown of Shaanxi, and forced He Zhen and other Hanzhong guards to surrender in the spring of this year.
I think that now the Houjin Dingbing army is divided into two roads, one is led by the so-called Yu Prince Duoduo of the Later Jin, along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the south, attacking the heart of the south of the Yangtze River;
The other road must have been led by the so-called Prince of Ying Azig of Later Jin, in the name of chasing Li Zicheng, and attacking Jingchu.
Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? If we Han people continue to fight and kill like this inside, we will only wait until Houjin kills from behind, and we will all die without a place to be buried.
If the general can persuade General Zhang to establish a united front with my Ming Dynasty and go north to resist the Qing Dynasty, he will definitely become the admiration of the people in later generations like Yue Wumu, Han Shizhong, and Wu Wuan.
If the Tartars can be expelled and China restored, why should General Zhang be honored by the old general?
Where to go, I hope that the general will think more, and I hope that the general can make it clear to General Zhang. ”
Li Dingguo didn't expect Yang Xuan to have such a statement, his brows furrowed, and he shook his head and said: "General Yang's words are also wrong, the Ming court is mean and unkind, and the Hongwu period successively made the Hu Weiyong case and the Lanyu case, and it is difficult to assist Zhu Yuanzhang's founding prime minister, and Li Shanchang, who is over seventy years old, died under the sword and axe.
Later, the ministers who contributed to the Ming Dynasty, such as Yu Qian, Yang Tinghe, Xia Yan, and Zhang Juzheng, either died under the butcher's knife of the Ming Emperor, or were liquidated in front of and behind him.
Corrupt officials were rampant in the Ming court, no officials were not greedy, and the people's lives were hot.
As the general said, in the tenth generation of good people, northern Shaanxi suffered a famine, not only did the imperial court not provide relief, but the honest and kind people Tian Fu and Ding Fu were higher than the normal years, this is not forcing everyone to rebel?
Everyone just wants to live in the troubled times, and everyone has accepted Zhao'an many times, but the court officials not only did not give compensation, but actually wanted our righteous army to openly ask for bribes.
General, the king of the Ming Dynasty is not the king of benevolence and righteousness, the officials of the Ming Dynasty only know how to ask for bribes from the people, but do not know the hard work of the world, the general, the Ming Dynasty is dead, Li Zicheng led his troops to attack Beijing, Chongzhen hanged himself when the Ming Dynasty died, and Nanjing supported only a remnant of the breath.
General Wen Taowu strategy, can be subordinated to my Onishi regime, in the next determined to the father and the emperor to protect, at least the official to the book, the general can also show his chest in revenge.
If the general insists on not complying, when the time comes, my 500,000 Daxi army will be killed, and the jade will be burned, and the general is an official who loves the people, but he has done more hateful things than those officials who poison the people. ”
Yang Xuan laughed, looked at each other with his eyes, walked in front of him, shook his head and said: "The general's accusation against Daming is not completely unreasonable, but I am all for this troubled man, of course, we must change all kinds of bad habits of Daming officialdom, and return the people to a good place."
Xuan is just a deputy leader, since the head of the army as an official, the local officials have become more and more upright, the people no longer flee the famine, the society is becoming more and more stable, although there is still a long way to go from the great governance, but as long as everyone is of one heart and one mind, the vast majority of the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment.
Last year, his younger brother Zhang Guangcai (both of whom were Zhang Xianzhong's sons) came to the meeting, and the official asked Zhang Guangcai to tell General Zhang that it was the will of heaven to expel the mainland from the north, and to restore Dujiangyan was to calm the hearts of the people.
I don't know if Zhang Guangcai conveyed it on his behalf, but looking at the various actions of the Daxi regime since the beginning of this year, one is to forcibly relocate the wealthy and powerful families into Chengdu, and the other is to brutally suppress those desperate people who cannot settle down.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you. In this way, you may have a thousand reasons and ten thousand reasons at first, but after you came to power, the whole situation became more chaotic, and the people who were affected were many times more than before.
For now, the only way out for Daxi is to stop all military operations against the Ming Dynasty and go to North China, which was occupied by the Barbarian Qing and Later Jin, so as not to encounter the danger of overturning, so as not to bear the infamy of everything? ”
Li Dingguo's eyes widened, glared at Yang Xuan and said: "The general's words are ridiculous, people are swords, I am fish and meat, and your Ming army is holding a stick with open fire, besieging our Daxi from the north, east, and south, and you keep saying to stop all military operations?"
Last year, the general also kept saying that he wanted peace, but the general took advantage of the unpreparedness of our army and occupied Shunqing in an instant.
Although the general has an official reputation, according to the general, the general is no different from that Yang Sichang. ”
Yang Xuan thought for a moment and sighed: "It will be like this, but it's just self-defense." General Ben believes that the biggest threat to our Han people today is not each other, but the barbarian Qing, but traitors such as Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, and Kong Youde.
If we want to preserve the incense of our Han people, the only way is to stop military operations between each other, and only if everyone loves to fight together against the barbarian Qing and its traitors.
If my younger brother Liu Wenxiu does not attack Chongqing Mansion, my army in Wusheng will not attack him.
In any case, I hope you will make a decision as soon as possible, if you do not agree to go north to resist the Qing Dynasty, this general will personally lead more than 10,000 loyal and righteous people to the west, in order to work with other Ming soldiers and civilians to force Zhang Chuchuan to resist the Qing. ”
Zhang Dingguo came to Shunqing Mansion this time, the main purpose was to hope that the loyal army would no longer attack the rear of Zhang Wenxiu's department, and now hearing Yang Xuan say this, Zhang Dingguo knew that he was hopeless, hugged his fists and got up to leave.
Yang Xuan sent him out of the prefect's yamen, and was escorted by the guard battalion to the chief Cao Zhang, and left the city.
Seeing Zhang Dingguo riding on a tall horse, slowly disappearing out of sight, Qian Bangxin, the supervisor next to him, couldn't hold back any longer, and sighed: "The general reads the history books, and of course the general knows about the disaster of the Hongmen Banquet."
Although this Zhang Dingguo is only twenty years old, he has the style of a general, and he will be in great trouble for my loyal and righteous army in the future, or the old man will lead the dead to kill him. ”
Yang Xuan felt ridiculous, although the ancient literati seemed gentle and elegant, in essence, their stomachs were full of these murderous deeds.
Stopping Qian Bangxin and the others' nonsense, Yang Xuan looked confident and said: "You must not come nonsense, this official just looked at his appearance, this person is a loyal and righteous person, and now although we are in different camps, sooner or later we will definitely be included in the account." ”
It seems that there is a physiognomy since ancient times, and it is an ancient metaphysics, and believers always believe, especially in ancient times, so it is even more so? Everyone looked at Yang Xuan suspiciously, looking incredulous, but they had to believe it.
