The discipline of the volunteers was strict, and the city had already received experience, so the streets of Kunming City were restored to stability at noon on the third day, and there were people standing guard and patrolling in various markets, and the streets were also restored to stability.

At noon that day, Li Dingguo and other captured generals, such as Dou Minwang, Gao Wengui, Wang Guoxi and others, were invited to say with a smile: "General Ning Yu, how about you think about it for three days?" ”

Li Dingguo's expression was gloomy and said: "Master Hou, I, Li Dingguo, am a cheap life, and I should be roaring in the green forest, Lord Hou treats me like this, I Li Dingguo can't afford it, so I ask to leave." ”

Yang Xuan sighed and asked the other generals who were captured, and these people all said that they were willing to take Li Dingguo's head as the leader.

Yang Xuan sighed, personally sent Li Dingguo and the others out of the south gate, held his hand and sighed incomparably: "General Ning Yu, it seems that I, Yang Xuan, am blessed, and I will join hands with the general to fight against the Tartars, avenge the general's father-in-law in private, and seek personality and life for the people of the world."

Who knows that the general thinks that Xuan's sincerity is not enough, and the general is leaving, so let Xuan send another one, so as not to meet each other on a different day. ”

Li Dingguo also said with feelings: "Penghou has 100,000 heavy soldiers in his hands, and he is heroic and dry, and he will definitely leave a name in history in the future."

The young general is a defeated general under the Hou Ye, how dare he speak bravely in front of Peng Hou? ”

Yang Xuan sighed and said, "Hey, Brother Ning Yu, don't comfort me, if you fight alone, ten Yang Xuan will not be your opponent Li Dingguo." ”

Li Dingguo suddenly paused and said, "Is this true? ”

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Of course, that's it, what's the use of talking about this?" ”

Immediately asked people to bring wine, Yang Xuan personally filled a cup and handed it to Li Dingguo: "Brother Ning Yu, I hope you drink this cup to the fullest, and I hope you take care of yourself." ”

Li Dingguo took the wine glass with trembling hands, suddenly looked quite excited, put it down and asked, "Penghou, dare to ask what you think of my father-in-law?" ”

Yang Xuan closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, opened his eyes for a long time and said: "Zhang Gong was born as a small official, he is used to seeing the cold and warm in the world, but he is not confined to world affairs, and he is quite heroic.

But on the other hand, he does things too much by personal likes and dislikes, acts perversely, and often does unbelievable things.

For example, he led his troops to kill Fengyang Mansion, burned Fengyang after digging up the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty, and dealt with the various captured princes of the Ming Dynasty, and cut off the arms of thousands of people after entering the four (Sichuan), punishing rebellion is punishing rebellion, but it is like killing so many innocent students in front of Qingyang Palace.

It can be said that he was able to achieve such great things because of his perverse character, and his failure was also because of his character.

Or, he is too paranoid, because he has seen too many things, he is too paranoid. ”

Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "Penghou, you missed a little."

If it weren't for the Pixian County Order to dig up Dujiangyan, if Dujiangyan hadn't become Zeguo, we would have been able to get through the difficulties.

Penghou, what do you think of our rebels, since the uprising, we have dominated the world and killed too much, how does Penghou think of our rebels? ”

Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Oh, I have a lot of contact with the generals of Daxi, such as Jin Tongwu, Wang Zhibang, Yang Wei, Wang Fuchen, Wen Zirang, Hong Zhenglong and others, most of them are brave and loyal, and they can be entrusted with great things."

It's just that the Ming Emperor was mediocre, the local officials were corrupt, and the huge country couldn't gather one side of the disaster victims, so in the end they had to rebel and were forced to innocent people in Liangshan.

Due to the big noise, some local heroes want to mix a good background to participate, so the momentum is getting bigger and bigger.

But what is the end result? Look at Si (Sichuan), look at Shaanxi.

Everyone first had no food to eat and made trouble, and in the end, there was no food to eat, so a vicious circle, and in the end, people ate people, and in some places, they openly sold human flesh.

In fact, everyone is a poor worm, in fact, everyone is the person who sees the problem on the surface. ”

Li Dingguo looked quite puzzled and said: "Yes, everyone is a poor worm, since the war, we have lived a life of eating meat and drinking wine, and we have not eaten for many days, it seems that we are all poor worms."

All things and people are born in nature, and people have nothing to give to heaven, we are all poor worms. ”

Yin Chengqi admonished: "General Li, in fact, our adults have already found a cure for this disease.

Our lord implemented a new policy, in addition to clearing the land and clearing the household registration to reclaim wasteland, we also levy commercial endowments, and collect income endowments, General Li, you don't know, in Shunqing Mansion, the commercial endowment and income endowment are already higher than Ding Fu.

In this way, land annexation can be avoided, and the poor will be prevented from becoming poorer and the rich will become richer. ”

Yang Xuan shook his head and said: "Hey, I have built reservoirs in various places to improve living conditions, hoping to change the status quo of relying on the sky for food, but to really do this, it is difficult to achieve all the results in ten years."

I reduce the three salaries, only levy the positive tax, levy the commercial levy, levy the mining levy, and the income is followed, hoping to reduce land annexation and improve people's livelihood, although it is easy to know but difficult to do, since the implementation of the resistance, to achieve full success, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed in 20 years. ”

Li Dingguo was slightly stunned, and after glancing at Dou Minwang and others, he suddenly knelt down and said: "Penghou, we are reckless people, Penghou treats each other so politely, so that we are not very afraid, if Meng Penghou does not give up, we are willing to only Penghou Ma is the first to look forward."

Yang Xuan was overjoyed, helped everyone up again and again, and complained from time to time: "General Ning Yu, you, you are willing to submit, which makes me really happy." Wannian, everyone, I want to feast General Ning Yu and all the heroes. ”

immediately took Li Dingguo's hand and returned to the city.

Li Dingguo offered advice to Yang Xuan: "Although the Great Western Army still consists of 50,000 people, Sun Kewang is quite vicious and treacherous.

Following the fugitive Li Gande, Yuan Tao and others, everyone has their own ghosts, and Penghou must not take it lightly. ”

Yang Xuan was shocked and asked about his plan, Li Dingguo pondered for a long time and said: "Master Hou, this Sun Kewang has been bent on suppressing the lowly position and Liu Wenxiu since he became the lord of the country, and the lowly position has a very good relationship with Liu Wenxiu, can the lowly position go to meet Liu Wenxiu, if Liu Wenxiu can surrender, it will definitely disintegrate Sun Kewang's forces." ”

Yang Xuan was overjoyed, and immediately asked people to bring the four treasures of the study, ready to let Li Dingguo write a letter.

Li Dingguo shook his head and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo doesn't want to laugh, he is poor in the next family and doesn't read much. ”

When Yang Xuan heard this, he laughed and said, "Hey, we're half a catty." My family was also quite poor, and I only studied for a few years to save money.

Heroes don't ask where they come from, many people don't know a single word, and they are also well-known men. ”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, Li Dingguo took out a jade pendant from his neck and handed it to Dou Minwang next to him: "Brother Dou, you give my jade pendant to Wenxiu, and tell Wenxiu everything we have seen in the past few days, and Wenxiu will decide." ”

Yang Xuan was overjoyed, and immediately made Dou Minwang the general of the twelfth town, under the jurisdiction of Li Dingguo, and Gao Wengui was the senior staff officer of the governor's yamen and participated in the military.
