As for Li Banghua's acceptance of the surrender of the thief "King of the Collapsed Heaven" Liu Guoneng, and only disposed of a large number of thieves and thieves under Liu Guoneng's command with the precedent of the eleventh smash method, Emperor Chongzhen also recognized it.

Because of the life deeds of Liu Guineng, the "King of the Collapsed Heaven", now Emperor Chongzhen knows something vaguely.

Historically, there were many bandit leaders who surrendered to the official army and then surrendered and rebelled, but there were a few early thief leaders, after surrendering the official army, accepted the dispatch of the Ming court, and followed the civilian commanders sent by the imperial court to fight in the south and the north, and never rebelled back.

Among these few people, there is the character of Liu Guoneng.

Many bandit leaders will choose to surrender when they are cornered, but when they have the opportunity, they will raise their banners again and rebel.

But Liu Guoneng is different, although when he surrendered, he only got a garrison official position, but since then he has followed the official army with all his heart.

Later, he made countless meritorious contributions in the southern and northern wars, and was promoted by Emperor Chongzhen all the way to the deputy chief soldier of the aid and suppression.

In September of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's army recovered, led the people to Luoshan, and attacked Henan.

Li Zicheng asked people to bring him to him to personally persuade him to surrender, saying: "My brother and I are old people, why don't you surrender to me and do a great cause together?" ”

And Liu Guoneng's answer was: "I was a thief with you at the beginning, but now I am an official of the court, a prince and a minister, the Son of Heaven treats me like a humerus, why do you become a thief!" ”

After Liu Guoneng led the people to surrender to the imperial court, he followed the officials and soldiers to turn back to fight the thieves, and was hated by many thieves leaders.

Therefore, this time, from Li Banghua's recital, I saw that Liu Guoneng, a fierce general known as the "Collapse of the Sky" in history, has not only changed his name, but also changed to the "King of Hengtian" Wang Jiayin, and became the "King of the Collapse of the Sky" under Wang Jiayin, and now he has chosen to surrender to the court several years in advance, which makes Emperor Chongzhen both surprised and happy.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not fully agree with Li Banghua's method of assigning Liu Guoneng and his Chinese army into the Tianxiong camp on the spot, but made it clear in his will that Liu Guoneng was given the post of Jinzhou guerrilla on the Liaodong Peninsula, and ordered him to be incorporated into the former army sequence of the Lushun Town Guard Mansion to be established, and to be under the control and command of Li Xin, the newly released Lushun Town Guard.

At the same time, Liu Guoneng was allowed to select 1,500 people from among his subordinates to follow Li Xin and others, who were recruiting troops in Hanoi, to rush to the newly established Lushun Town Guard Mansion to take up their posts.

After Liu Guoneng surrendered to the imperial court in history, although he was like a changed person, he was desperately loyal to the imperial court, but the current situation, after all, is different from history, who knows if he will be like in history.

Instead of letting him fight on the front line of the thieves, it is better to put it on the Liaodong Peninsula and fight with the two white flags of Jianyu, which is more safe.

However, even so, Emperor Chongzhen, in his will to Li Banghua this time, still warned him again to accept the surrender of the thief leader, only this once, not an example.

As for other affairs, they were all handled by Li Banghua on the Shanxi front, including the tens of thousands of prisoners surrendered by Sun Chuanting in the Battle of Jingle, and Emperor Chongzhen also accepted Li Banghua's opinion, and after the completion of the rebuilding of the fortress in Jingle City, the Han people were disposed of separately from the thieves and the Hui Mu Suman, and the Han people were killed by the 8,000 thieves and rebels, and the more than 2,000 Hui Mu Suman were all beheaded on the spot.

After the Battle of Jingle, in accordance with the will of Emperor Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting sent a small group of elite officers and soldiers to enter the Luya Mountains to find traces of thieves such as Gao Yingxiang and Ma Shouying, and on the other hand, he led the crowd to rebuild Jingle City, preparing to operate it as a strategic fortress in northern Shanxi Province that held the upper valley of Fenshui.

Previously, Emperor Chongzhen rewarded the meritorious soldiers of the Battle of Jingle, but did not make specific arrangements for the large number of prisoners who surrendered, but only ordered Sun Chuanting and others to urge the thieves to surrender and build forts and cities, so as to facilitate the future garrison of the army to attack and defend.

However, they all have different views on the prisoners of the thief army who surrendered, whether it is Sun Chuanting or Wang Jiazheng, or Li Banghua, who knows the situation.

The culprits of the massacre of Lanxian and Jingle were mainly Ma Shouying's return to the camp, and this time there were more than 2,000 people in the return camp.

The treatment of these people naturally cannot be the same as the Han rebels who surrendered, and the eleventh slaughter cannot offset the sins they committed.

What's more, these people are different from the Han people under the Ming Dynasty, they do not identify themselves as Chinese, recite the Fan Sutra, believe in the Fan Religion, and have their own customs and habits.

For Confucian scholars like Sun Chuanting, Wang Jiazheng, and even Li Banghua, there may be many different political views, but they are surprisingly unanimous on the issue of the Huayi debate, especially on the issue of dealing with Yijiao.

This time, the rebuilding of the fortress in Cross Slope and Jingle City was nearing completion, and Sun Chuanting and Wang Jiazheng jointly proposed to Li Banghua before Li Banghua left Lingshi and entered Shikou in the west, so Li Banghua also asked for instructions.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen didn't have any other ideas about this, so he took the opportunity to agree to their proposal this time, after all, the problem of Mu Suman in the northwest would have to be solved sooner or later.

Five days later, in the evening, Emperor Chongzhen's decree was delivered to the Shanxi army, but at this time, the situation on the front line of Shanxi's suppression of thieves had undergone major changes again.

Let's say that on the morning of the second day when Liu Guoneng led the rest of the minions to surrender to the official army, Li Banghua convened the generals under his command in the big tent of the Chinese army in Liu Guoneng's original camp.

Liu Guoneng reported to Li Banghua, Lu Xiangsheng and others on the location and distribution of the main force of the thieves, as well as the latest situation in Shennanyu by Wang Jiayin, Wang Er and others.

Li Banghua listened to Liu Guoneng's statement, and then asked people to bring Zhang Liwei, Wang Jiayin's wife and brother who was sacrificed by Liu Guoneng as a vote, and further understood the situation of Shennanyu from Zhang Liwei's mouth, and at the same time, it was also regarded as confirming the truth of what Liu Guoneng said in person.

Liu Guoneng surrendered sincerely this time, naturally there is no need to hide it, what Zhang Liwei told him at the beginning, how he naturally said it.

At this time, Li Banghua and others corroborated each other with Zhang Liwei's words, which can be regarded as trusting Liu Guoneng's sincerity.

For Liu Guoneng, the idea of being an official to kill people and set fire to be recruited is, of course, impossible to without.

But everyone who has been a thief has this thought, and this is human nature.

And if Liu Guoneng wants to surrender, wouldn't Li Banghua, the minister of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, be the best surrender object he can meet?

It is difficult to determine what will happen to you in the end if you surrender to a petty official, but if you surrender to this Ming dynasty, you will not have such worries.

After all, when Chao Zaifu is a big man who is above 10,000 people under one person and above all his words!

The reason why Liu Guoneng chose to simply surrender Li Banghua was, of course, such considerations.

Liu Guoneng belongs to the landlord Haoqiang of Mizhi in northern Shaanxi, and his background determines that he is different from other people who are born as fugitives and bandits.

Those who are anti-man, who belong to the barefoot and are not afraid to wear shoes, kill one is enough, kill two and earn one.

And he belongs to the shoes-wearer, when he followed those thieves to kill big families and eat big families, and even slept with the wives and daughters of big families, he also once thought about whether his wives and concubines who stayed incognito in their hometowns in northern Shaanxi would be so ruined by other thieves at this moment.
