In Li Zicheng's big tent, it was unusually quiet, no one spoke, and he didn't know what to say. After being besieged by the Ming army for a year, it is finally the final moment.

Bear? Or die? No one could know exactly what that Jianwen Ancestor thought. Especially Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng, the two of them thought that in front of Jianwen Ancestor, there was no chance of survival! The two of them are the most hated people in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Left and right are just a dead word, it's better to kill the big guys, and die a vigorous death."

Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, Zhang Dingguo, saw that everyone was relatively speechless, and he was angry in his heart and took the case. Zhang Xianzhong glanced at Zhang Dingguo: "Sit down, it's not your turn to call the shots here." ”

Zhang Dingguo sat down abruptly, turned his head and didn't speak. Zhang Xianzhong touched his beard, brewed his emotions, squinted his eyes slightly, and said:

"Just now, the Ming army issued an ultimatum, before sunset, the ancestor of Jianwen must see us in Hong Chengchou's big tent, otherwise, there will be a river of blood here."

After a pause, Zhang Xianzhong continued: "The firearms used by the Ming army now are terrifying. Especially the kind of repeating firearms called machine guns, even if we have more cavalry, it is impossible to break out of the encirclement of the Ming army, and we can only make senseless sacrifices. Killing it is just a dead end. ”

Li Zicheng was concerned, and the firearms used by the Ming army now were indeed too terrifying. The role of cavalry in the face of that kind of terrifying firearms is simply useless, and the cavalry charging into battle is just a senseless death.

Zhang Xianzhong sighed and said: "That Jianwen Ancestor made it clear that he wanted to see us people, according to me, maybe he really wanted my life, I'm afraid I can't wait now, and I have already been wiped out by the Ming army." Therefore, I think that when I go to the camp of the Ming army, my life should be worry-free for a while.

It's just that I don't know what Jianwen Ancestor needs us to do for him, and only that kind of very dangerous thing will require us to work hard. But the Jiannu outside the Ming Pass had been frightened by the Ming army, and would rather swallow the barren land of North Korea than dare to break through the pass and plunder again. So, where else can we play? ”

Everyone in the tent couldn't guess for a while what kind of reason the Jianwen Ancestor summoned them. Now they are hostile parties, but Jianwen Ancestor just ignored the hostile relationship and directly sent people to give orders, which is really too disregarded for their dignity.

The problem is that they don't dare to have any objections yet. In fact, whether it is Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, or Hao Shaoqi, Yuan Zongdi and others, although they are very loud, but if they really want to violate the order of the Jianwen ancestor, no one dares to do that.

"Sticking out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, there is only a dead word left and right, why bother to figure out the intentions of the Jianwen ancestor here, it is better to go happily, everything is clear, why worry about being afraid here?"

Li Guo patted his thigh, stood up on the ground, and was about to walk out of the big tent. Li Zicheng sighed and said: "Shuangxi is right, there is only one death left and right, why scare yourself here." Let's go, if we are still grinding here, I am afraid that the camp where we are waiting will have a mutiny. ”

Everyone thought that the old battalion under their command could still be loyal to them now, but those non-commissioned battalions used for consumption were probably already looking for opportunities in tandem to capture themselves and others alive so that they could go to the Ming army camp to ask for merit and atone for their sins.

Seeing Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other leaders walking out of the camp with tragic faces, walking towards the camp of the Ming army, the camp of Liukou was chaotic and panicked, fortunately, there were still the leaders of the old camp under Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, plus Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and other military divisions, so that the chaos in the camp did not expand.

……

"Grass people Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong (Li Guo, Zhang Dingguo...... Meet the ancestor of Ming Jianwen and wish the ancestor a long life. ”

Walking into the big tent of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shanxi Province of the Ming Army, I saw that the young Taoist was sitting on the main seat, and Hong Chengchou and Ma Xianglin, who were the governors, were just sitting on the side, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others understood that the young Taoist on the main seat was the legendary ancestor of Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunwen smiled coldly, and didn't let Li Zicheng and the others get up, just looked at the leaders of the rogue leaders kneeling on the ground so coldly.

Time passed little by little, and the voice of letting himself and the others be exempted from being flattened could not be heard, and the cold sweat on the faces of Li Zicheng and the others slowly fell like rain, dripping on the ground in front of them, and soon the land in front of them was wet.

After a long time, Zhu Yunwen's leisurely voice sounded: "Get up, no wonder you can make trouble in the Ming Dynasty, and everyone has some skills." ”

When Li Zicheng and the others, who knelt softly, heard this, their legs were weak and fell to the ground again, and they repeatedly said that they didn't dare. Zhu Yunwen stretched out his sleeves and rolled up, and a fresh breeze sent Li Zicheng and the others to the chairs that had been arranged, and Li Zicheng and the others dared to raise their heads and quietly look at the situation of the big tent.

"Li Zicheng, I heard that you don't want to be a Han Chinese, and you have always considered yourself a member of the party, is this true?"

Zhu Yunwen picked up the teacup in front of him, sucked the tea leisurely, and said in a calm tone. Li Zicheng's body shook, opened his mouth and replied with difficulty: "Ancestor, although Zicheng ancestor is from the party, Zicheng has never said that he is not a Han, nor has he ever said that he is unwilling to be a Han. ”

The party members founded the Western Xia, and the Great Song Dynasty, Dajin three-legged, stretched for more than ten generations, and was finally destroyed by Genghis Khan's Mongolia, and then the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang chased the Mongolian Yuan in the north, and established the Central Plains, and moved for more than 200 years. At that time, the Western Xia had long been annihilated in the long river of time, and the party members had long been mixed with the Han people and were absorbed and assimilated, and there was no longer a party item.

Seeing that Li Zicheng's answer was quite reasonable, Zhu Yunwen didn't embarrass him anymore: "It stands to reason that the rogue is in turmoil, and you, as the leader, deserve to die." But God has the virtue of a good life, and the poor road does not want my Ming people to die and civil strife and civil war.

Therefore, Poor Dao saved your life in front of the emperor. But the sins you committed before need to be repaid, this, I believe you will not have any objections, right? ”

When Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others heard Zhu Yunwen's words, they knew that their fate was saved, how could they dare to have other ideas, and they didn't even dare to say it.

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "The Ming character of the Ming Dynasty is a synthesis of the sun and the moon, which means that under the light of the sun and the moon, it is the land of my Ming Dynasty." But now my Ming land is just a corner of the world, so other lands under the sun and moon need someone to open up the territory for the Ming Dynasty, are you willing? ”

"I am willing to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty to atone for my sins, and I am willing to let all the countries of the Ming Dynasty come to the court and all the people submit. We are willing to do our best for the Ming Dynasty and die. ”

Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others knelt on the ground and shouted in unison. Zhu Yunwen smiled and made them get up: "The Ming Dynasty doesn't need all countries to come to the dynasty, the whole world, only one dynasty of the Ming Dynasty is needed, why do you need such a country, occupy so much land, occupy the living place of my Ming people?"

Poor Dao has long thought about it, and in the future, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, you two soldiers divided into two roads, all the way south, starting from the southern border of the Ming Dynasty, first recovering Annam, and then pushing all the countries on the Indochina Peninsula. The other road went west, along the Silk Road.

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Poor Dao doesn't care that you and others are killing outside the Ming Dynasty, but you also have to capture more prisoners and use them to build roads for the Ming Dynasty to reach all areas in the territory. Perhaps soon, a railway will have to be built, which will require a lot of manpower and material resources.

Poor Dao allows you to wait for the property obtained outside the Ming Dynasty, and you only need to hand over 20% to the Ming court, and the remaining 80% is owned by you. Every time you take a land, the imperial court will send corresponding officials to put it under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

As long as you are the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it has reached half the size of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the poor road will give you a talisman treasure, and the sword and gun can not be injured, and the water and fire can not be immersed.

If the territory reaches the current size of the Ming Dynasty, the poor road will give you the pill of longevity, extend the life span of tens or hundreds of years, enjoy the glory and wealth, and read the beauty of the world.

When the whole world under heaven and the whole world is the land of the Ming Dynasty, the poor Dao Xu Er and others set foot on the immortal road, practice the art of immortality, and from then on enjoy the world, live with the heaven and earth, and shine with the sun and the moon. ”

Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others listened to the beautiful future depicted by Zhu Yunwen, although this beautiful future was based on the fact that they had to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, and even have to fight the world for the rest of their lives.

But this beautiful thing still makes them excited, and they are inexplicably excited. Nothing can be achieved without effort, for a better future, for the sake of immortality, even if you kill all the aliens in the world?
