Chapter 622: Chengguan and Cults

"General Li, it's better to see it after hearing it for a long time!"

As soon as Li Dingguo climbed the city wall, he heard a hearty laugh from afar, and when he took a look, he saw a person wearing a golden dragon pattern costume and armor riding a horse and stopping a hundred steps away.

Obviously, this person is Emperor Wang Zheng of the Great Qi Zhangwu.

Li Dingguo has thought about Wang Zheng's appearance more than once, like a tall man, five big and three thick, big shoulders and round waist, etc., which is convincing enough.

But when he really saw the person opposite, he couldn't believe that the founding emperor of the generation with such great achievements was so young.

And looking at his appearance, there is no outstanding color, if it weren't for the respectful civil and military ministers behind this person, Li Dingguo would not have put the name of him and Wang Zheng together.

"Dingguo has filial piety, and I ask the emperor to forgive Dingguo for not being able to kneel three times and knock nine times."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Wang Zheng smiled again, pointed at the unstoppable division behind him with the horsewhip in his hand, and asked in a heroic voice:

"Dingguo, the army behind me can enter your eyes?"

Hearing this, Li Dingguo Dingqing looked carefully at the Qi army behind Wang Zheng.

The first row of generals, each wearing fine armor, is all shining, at a glance it looks like a battle-hardened warrior, and behind them is the world-famous 'Great Qi Armor Soldiers' after the First World War in Phoenix Mountain.

Just standing there motionless, letting the flag flutter in the wind, this army gave the Onishi sergeants on the castle tower a sense of oppression.

This sense of oppression has nothing to do with numerical superiority, but more of a feeling of invincibility that comes from a glance.

I have to say that Li Dingguo did see the word "really strong" from the army in front of him, and saw the strong strength of Daqi to dominate the world.

However, it is regrettable that the army that changed the dynasty was not the Dashun and Daxi that swept the world more than ten years ago, but the Wendeng Camp, formerly known as the Wendeng Camp in the small Denglai land, and the Shandong Army on the impoverished peninsula, representing the interests of the big clans, merchants, and small and medium-sized landlords.

"Qi Jun, it really deserves to be the strongest army in the world, Li admires it!"

Although Li Dingguo's heart was chaotic, but the words were said from the bottom of his heart, and before he finished speaking, he heard a burst of wild laughter from the other side, turned his head to look, and saw that Wang Zheng opened his arms and shouted confidently:

"Dingguo, with your talent, it is a pity to do things for that Zhang Xianzhong!"

As he spoke, Wang Zheng waved his horsewhip in his hand to Liaodong and said loudly:

"Our Han people have been oppressed by the Qing captives for a long time, and although I have defeated them, but now, they are still stealing Liaodong and surviving for a long time! Dingguo, why don't you follow me? ”

"I will recover Liaodong and kill all the captives, and you can also achieve great military achievements in my Great Qi Army and achieve the name of a generation of good generals!"

"General...?"

Several generals around Li Dingguo looked moved, and they all wanted to take advantage of the situation to persuade him to surrender, but Li Dingguo secretly gritted his teeth and waved his hands violently, signaling them not to speak.

"If the emperor wants me to surrender, he still needs to meet my three conditions." Li Dingguo seemed to have made up his mind, and took a deep breath before saying this.

Wang Zheng drove the horse back and forth, stared at Li Dingguo for a long time and nodded, seeing this, Li Dingguo closed his eyes and continued:

"First, all these generals under the command of Li were forced, and they were their masters in the past several battles, and they asked the emperor to let them go home regardless of their previous suspicions."

Wang argued: "Quasi! ”

"Second, judging from the emperor's practice of recruiting Dashun generals in the past, after surrendering, these soldiers under the command of Li are bound to separate several places, and ask the emperor to appoint them with talent and treat them equally."

Wang Zheng: "Yes, go on!" ”

Li Dingguo clenched his fists and said his last request:

"Third, please ask the emperor to bury Zhang Xianzhong and posthumously crown him as the king of Daxi."

The first two are good to say, Wang Zheng had already planned not to kill all the remnants of Daxi, after all, there is not much left in Sichuan's current population, and if he kills again, he will become a dead state.

The second condition is even the same as not mentioning, it can be seen from Hao Shaoqi, Liu Fangliang and others that unless that person really should be killed, under normal circumstances, Wang Zheng can only be hired according to him.

But this third requirement is really a bit excessive, many generals of Daqi behind are talking about it, it is not enough to seal Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong is a chaotic minister and thief in the Central Plains, isn't it too difficult to chase the title of king.

Wang Zheng put up his horsewhip, and when the discussion of the people behind him suddenly quieted down, he said:

"I meet your first two requirements, and the third one, it's okay to have a thick burial, but it's not okay."

Hearing this, Li Dingguo was not particularly surprised, just nodded as if appointed, and waved his hand weakly:

"Let's get started."

......

Li Dingguo's decision is actually not for himself, the tens of thousands of Daxi generals below, after seeing the prestige of the Qi army, actually have no heart to resist.

Originally, they followed Zhang Xianzhong to rebel in order to survive, but now Daqi is about to dominate the world, Zhang Xianzhong is also dead, what is the use of resisting stubbornly.

Li Dingguo is not a selfish person, he is responsible for his subordinates, so he gave up resistance and chose to surrender.

When Li Dingguo decided, the remnants of the Great Western Army were all relieved, and they had no objections, and they happily threw down their troops to open the city and surrender.

What happened next was much smoother than expected, and the process of annexing Onishi was simpler than surrendering Dashun.

After all, this so-called Daxi was only established by Zhang Xianzhong when he took advantage of the opportunity of the northern conquest, and the generals led by him died and surrendered, and the others were disheartened, and they didn't have the heart to make waves anymore at this time.

Guangwu General Deng Heizi has been guarding the town of Xi'an in Shaanxi for several months, except for clearing the remnants, consolidating the defense, and training new soldiers, but he is idle.

This made Deng Heizi, who has always been active, very uncomfortable, and the only thing he could do every day was to walk around the barracks, and when he was in a bad mood, he would practice with a big knife.

However, when Wang Zheng was fighting for the south, there was indeed chaos on the Shaanxi side.

The general soldiers of Xuanfu, who had originally returned to him, wanted to surrender and rebel, and took advantage of Wang Zheng's efforts to lead the army south to divide the territory in Xuanzhen, but before they could make a move, they were found out by the Espionage Division.

Deng Heizi finally found an opportunity, that is, he entered Xuanzhen with the Zhenwei Battalion of the Forbidden Army of the Headquarters, and acted jointly with the local Qi Army Guard Camp and Defense Battalion to eliminate the turmoil in the bud.

However, most of the army betrayed by Xuanzhen was the old department of the general army, and they were in a weak position in the face of the guard camp and the defense camp, and after meeting the Zhenwei battalion led by Deng Heizi himself, they were not vulnerable at all, and the battle collapsed completely after a few battles.

Speaking of which, there has also been some chaos in Shandong.

It is said that they wanted to mobilize the people against Daqi in a village, but the people of the farm were busy starting a new life, and no one paid attention to them.

In the end, what was mobilized was nothing more than some idle people who couldn't even do helpers, and they were directly pacified by the local urban management bureau's urban management brigade, and the urban management bureau followed the vine and actually caught the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

It is said that this sect leader is a stunning beauty surnamed Lin, and I don't know what the relationship is with Lin Yilun, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect who was personally caught by Wang Zheng back then.

It's just that the city managers under Daqi won't pay attention to these gossips, and secondly, they don't have any pity at all, and they detain this beautiful female sect leader in the prison for all kinds of humiliation, and then sit back and wait for the White Lotus Sect to save people.

The White Lotus Sect has a long history and is all over the place, but the urban management bureau founded by Wang Zheng himself is not easy to get along with, but they are all in the towns with the Great Qi Dragon Banner.

In the first year of Zhangwu (1645), Wang Zheng led the army to fight everywhere, but the internal situation was not stable, and the local forces of Daqi were engaged in a silent war with the folk cults.

Daqi and the White Lotus Sect have completely turned their faces, and the Espionage Department, the Urban Management Bureau, and sometimes even the use of garrisons from various places, and various departments have joined forces to deal a devastating blow to the White Lotus Sect and other cults of its branches.

In the first year of Zhangwu, there were more than 50 folk cults that were completely destroyed on the record, as well as rebels who plotted against the Great Qi everywhere, including the White Lotus Sect, which was not completely eliminated in the Ming Dynasty.

After Wang Zheng led his troops to eliminate Dashun and Daxi one after another, he began to turn the spearhead to stabilize the local situation.
