Zhu Hongsan saw that Jin Shenghuan's words were loose, and hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, as long as you give up the army, your army will be handed over to your son, and you are old, do you still want to lick the blood on the knife?" Lao Jin, you are in your fifties this year, Li Chengdong is also in your forties, and Wang Deren is about the same, don't you want to live in your old age? Give young people a way out! ”

Zhu Hongsan's words Jin Shenghuan was a little moved, originally they thought that their lives were not guaranteed, but they didn't expect that the emperor just didn't let them lead the troops, and his son could continue to lead the troops, so that their rights would not be lost at all, and it was the best ending so far. However, Jin Shenghuan was still worried that the emperor would settle accounts after the autumn, and he would clean himself up after handing over his military power.

"Your Majesty, are you telling the truth?"

Zhu Hongsan nodded his head and said, "Of course, I am the Ninety-Five Honor, and I follow the law, how can I coax you?" ”

Jin Shenghuan knew what Zhu Hongsan's virtues were, and this emperor had no credibility at all.

"Your Majesty, it's not okay for you to say that, there is no evidence, we want a certificate!"

Li Chengdong saw Jin Shenghuan on the side that he wanted to agree, and he was anxious, he and the emperor had a knot that could not be solved, if Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren surrendered, they would be left alone, what should they do?

"Brother Jin, you can't promise this faint king, it has no credibility at all, and he promised not to hold this king accountable when he was anyway last year, look at it now!"

Wang Deren on the side was also very anxious, he had no descendants, and his only son also died in Nanchang. Jin Shenghuan can also have a son to take over, what can he do?

Wang Deren said to Zhu Hongsan: "Your Majesty, what should I do with the minister?" The minister has no offspring! ”

I didn't see Wang Deren and Zhu Hongsan, this guy suffered heavy losses in Wuchang, with less than 2,000 people left, and now the 100,000 troops under his command are completely strong men who have pulled up, and there are all kinds of people in it, what combat effectiveness can such an army have?

But Zhu Hongsan couldn't help but agree to Wang Deren, after all, now that the three of them are united in one place, cleaning up Wang Deren will inevitably make the other two feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

"Brother Wang, don't worry, isn't it good for you to hand over the army and become a rich man? I promised you three factories to give you three factories, knowing that my factories can earn more than 100,000 silver dollars every year, are you not satisfied? ”

Wang Deren's eyes lit up when he heard this, one factory has more than 100,000 yuan, and three factories are more than 300,000 yuan, which is easier than leading troops out to grab money. Wang Deren heard the emperor say this and agreed, but Li Chengdong on the side was not happy, so he and the emperor were left to do it!

Li Chengdong shouted to Wang Deren: "Old Wang, can you still believe this faint king? You don't even know how to die in the future! ”

Zhu Hongsan was furious when he saw that Li Chengdong was still being a-stirring stick, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren had already moved, so Li Chengdong was a little undecided.

"Li Chengdong, you said that I have no reputation, have you forgotten what I did to you? Did you kill the people in the city of Guangzhou? Did you shoot my queen? Did you snatch my daughter? Do you think you deserve to die for what you're doing? But what did I do to you? When you had a conflict with Tong Guonai in Fujian, did I accept you in time? I didn't even care about my previous suspicions to make you the king of the county, and I also promised my daughter to your son, yes or no? I did this to you, how did you do it? After arriving in Nanjing, he couldn't come to the palace to worship me, and repeatedly proposed to go to Henan to garrison, what are you going to do? Do you say to yourself, am I sorry for you, or are you sorry for me? ”

Zhu Hongsan is worthy of being the director of the Demolition and Relocation Office in his previous life, and his mouth is very powerful, and a series of rhetorical questions made Li Chengdong speechless. Oh, yes! Li Chengdong killed the queen, and the emperor also named him the king of the county, which is interesting enough!

Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren didn't know about the grievances between Li Chengdong and the emperor, but now they know that Li Chengdong has done so much, even if they kill Li Chengdong, they don't complain at all.

Seeing that the emperor had done his best to Li Chengdong, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren no longer hesitated, knelt down on their knees and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to sacrifice the army and be a prince of peace!" ”

Zhu Hongsan looked at Li Chengdong's father and son still standing there, and said loudly: "Li Chengdong, you don't want to be ashamed, but you want to be embarrassed, I said before that you are not to blame for what you did in the past, and now it works." When Taizu of this dynasty opened the country, he issued Danshu iron coupons, and I also issued Danshu iron coupons to you, as long as it is not a major crime of rebellion, protect your descendants and the country! ”

This is already the greatest kindness that Zhu Hongsan can show, Li Yuanyin heard Zhu Hongsan do this to his father and son, and said to Li Chengdong: "Father, I see that the emperor treats you and my father and son like this, let's surrender!" ”

Li Chengdong saw that his son was also anti-water, sighed, knelt down on his knees and said: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister Li Chengdong has made big mistakes many times, and the emperor will not give up, and the minister deserves death!" ”

Zhu Hongsan was overjoyed when he saw that the three of them were all bowing their heads and submitting to him. Warlords have always been something that Zhu Hongsan could not hide, Zhu Hongsan was a party member in his previous life, and he knew the truth that Taizu "came out of the barrel of a gun". The army must definitely be placed under its own rule, and there can be no second core, so as early as Guangdong, Zhu Hongsan planned to clean up the three county kings under his command. However, at that time, Zhu Hongsan was beyond the reach of the whip, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren were in Jiangxi, and Li Chengdong was in Fujian. But now it is different, Zhu Hongsan has firmly established himself in Nanzhili, and has been recognized by the scholar class in terms of legitimacy, and the role of these three warlords has been greatly reduced, so Zhu Hongsan is ready to clean up the three in the name of the banquet.

Now that these three people have been given military power, it is not a matter of whether they will be killed or not in the future. However, at present, these three people cannot be killed, and they have to set an example for other Manchu traitor generals.

Although Zhu Hongsan promised the three of them that their son would be in charge of the army, but the son was not Lao Tzu, and Jin Daoming and Li Yuanyin did not have the prestige of their Lao Tzu. Although there are more than 400,000 people outside the city, most of them are old and weak, but no matter how low the quality of the soldiers is, it is still possible to screen out 100,000 people.

After the big thing was done, Zhu Hongsan stepped forward to help the three of them and said, "Three royal brothers, now do you want to ask the two princes to go out and collect the army?" ”

Jin Shenghuan and the other three nodded, and took out their waist cards and official seals and handed them to Jin Daoming and Li Yuanyin, asking them to go out and gather their subordinates to obey the emperor's dispatch.

Zhu Hongsan said to Zhao Hu and Zhu Bao behind him: "You two bring a group of people and horses, follow the two princes, and protect their safety!" "Zhu Hong's three are protection, in fact, they are surveillance, if these two people have any tricks, Zhao Hu and Zhu Bao brothers will kill these two people on the spot.

Watching the four of them go out, Zhu Hongsan said to the three county kings: "Three royal brothers, it's still very early, why don't you sit in the palace for a while and wait for the two princes?" ”

Jin Shenghuan and the others also knew that the emperor was not at ease at this time, so they monitored themselves, but what else could they say in this environment now, so they had to go back to the house and wait for news from Jin Daoming and Li Yuanyin.

Zhu Hongsan saw that the big thing was over, sent Zhu Yu away, and pulled Ma Ruyun to find another room.

Just when Zhu Hongsan and Ma Ruyun were turning the clouds and rain, Jin Daoming, the son of the green hat, was still running around for the great cause of Zhu Hongsan.

Jin Daoming's ability can only be regarded as average, and he can't compare with the heroic Li Yuanyin. Jin Daoming had never been on the battlefield with his father Jin Shenghuan before, and he had always been a rich boy at home, so some generals in the army did not respect this son-in-law very much. Now that Jin Daoming wants to take people to receive troops, he is inevitably apprehensive.

Out of the palace gate, Jin Daoming whispered to Zhu Bao beside him, "What is the surname of this general?" ”

Zhu Bao looked at Jin Daoming, who was less than his chin, and said in a deep voice: "The last general Zhu Bao!" ”

"The general's surname is Zhu? Could it be the royal family? ”

Zhu Bao rolled his eyelids and scolded in his heart: You guy is really forgetful, you were drinking together last night, and you forgot it so quickly?

"The father of the last general is Zhu Hongyi, and His Majesty the Emperor is the uncle of the last general!"

It's not that Jin Daoming forgot his name, but last night Jin Daoming was in high spirits, and he didn't remember the name of a small officer. But now it's different, your life and family are in the hands of others, so you can't do it if you don't bow your head!

"I see, so we're still relatives!"

Jin Daoming looked up at Zhu Bao, saw that he didn't have any annoying expression, and asked in a low voice: "General, I don't know how to receive troops, what should we do?" ”

Zhu Bao also found out that this prince was a straw bag, so he couldn't say: "Does the prince have a trusted general in the army?" ”

Jin Daoming nodded and said: "This is true, my second brother is the captain of my father's personal army, he can obey me!" ”

"It's simple, let him find some generals, and kill all those who disobey the emperor's will, and this will be over!"

When Jin Daoming heard Zhu Bao's idea, he scolded in his heart: What kind of fucking idea is this lack of morality, kill them all, and there are still people leading troops? But he didn't have any good ideas, and after thinking about it for a long time, he could only do what Zhu Bao said.

Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren's troops were stationed in the west, Li Chengdong's troops were stationed in the east, and the two teams were separated here at Hongwumen, with Zhu Bao following Jin Daoming and Zhao Hu following Li Yuanyin.

Jin Daoming first came to Qian Yong's camp outside the Jiangdong Gate, where some high-ranking generals were imprisoned.

Jin Daoming didn't come up with a reliable idea along the way, so he had no choice but to do what Zhu Bao taught him, so he first asked people to bring Jin Shenghuan's personal captain Jin Er.

After a while, Jin Er was escorted into the big tent by two soldiers, Jin Er is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and he is not Jin Shenghuan's own nephew, but an orphan adopted by Jin Shenghuan on the battlefield, named clan nephew, in fact, he is as close as father and son.
