Nearly 200,000 people were surrounded in the carriage, there was no shortage of food, but there was no firewood, the weather was cold enough, fortunately, no one had frozen to death, and it was very warm to huddle together every night, so that the day became the most difficult time.

When there are only five days before the Spring Festival, the anti-thieves represented by Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng naturally cannot have a festive atmosphere, and they are all listless, like frosted eggplants, the difference is that Li Zicheng and his subordinates live a similar life, so they are also haggard, but Zhang Xianzhong's classmates are still red because of their moisturized life, but the melancholy in his eyes is difficult to hide.

At this time, the situation was very critical, worse than the previous two times, they didn't even have room to resist, since they were defeated by Chai He first.

For more than a month, there has been nothing left in this not long Shaanxi Valley, and if the officers and soldiers are not persuaded to accept their surrender for a few days, then they can only wait for death.

In fact, although Comrade Zhang Xianzhong was worried, he was still very confident in his heart; after all, the work he had done these days was still very effective, and it could be seen that he had a great impact on the officers and men; as the New Year approached, it was difficult for these officers and men to calm down, and some officers and men would even hand them some firewood and begin to call them brothers and complain about their generals.

The first thing Commander Zhang did was to get Chen Qiyu.

But what he didn't know was that Chen Qiyu's life was also not easy.

As the governor of the five provinces, he has always been very distressed in his heart, and he is more entangled than anyone else in his attitude towards the anti-thief.

He felt that he and the tens of thousands of soldiers under him were purely the kind that his father didn't love his mother, maybe he didn't have this idea, but Chongzhen was indeed the type of person who wanted the horses to run and the horses not to eat grass.

On the other hand, the thieves in the valley are much closer to the group of soldiers under their command, and they have a warm attitude and don't talk about their hearts, but also give money and food, for this group of soldiers who have not read any books, they are very simple to be anti-thieves, not to mention, these soldiers and anti-thieves essentially belong to the same tired people, they are poor people who have no food to eat.

Chen Qiyu was well-read in poetry and had received the grace of the imperial court, so he could restrain himself, but that group of soldiers could not expect to rely on their illusory loyalty to make them think they were thieves... The brethren attacked.

The atmosphere in the army has not been quite right recently, he feels that there are more and more people who speak for the anti-thieves, and there are more people who persuade Chen Qiyu to surrender and accept surrender, and some even say that they can just let them go, and there are many hundreds of households and even generals, and he knows what the reason is.

sympathy for the thieves, I don't want to guard the barren mountains and mountains on this festive day, and more importantly, I still have money to accept the surrender of these soldiers.

Chen Qiyu, as the real governor of the five provinces, he is responsible for this group of anti-thieves, and even more responsible for this group of soldiers, but according to his investigation, there are more than 25,000 people in the whole army, not counting the soldiers below, hundreds of officers have more or less received money, if it is not for his own majesty, and the cost of the mutiny is too great, so that the soldiers do not want to become anti-thieves, Chen Qiyu has no doubt that there will be a mutiny. But if it drags on like this, he also feels that it is enough to hang, and he doesn't know when his subordinates will be in chaos.

Now Chen Qiyu, who is in the ice and snow, still insists on the front line, just because he lets these soldiers see that he is not enjoying happiness, he only thinks about the peace of the country and the people.

The sky has fallen intermittently with light snow, the snow has not melted before on the fields of the mountains, Chen Qiyu was also born in the common people, as the old saying goes, Ruixue is a good year, so next year will be a bumper year, and the thieves may disappear.

Closing his eyes, he let the snowflakes fall on his head, the biting cold wind blowing, and the sound of anti-thieves communicating with officers and soldiers buzzing in his ears, it was quite lively here.

Looking at these relaxed soldiers, they all thought that they had won the silver of the thief, and the family was settled, and then looked at the pro-soldiers beside him, and he couldn't see anything with an expressionless face, but Chen Qiyu knew that his pro-soldiers didn't know how long they hadn't received the full salary, Chen Qiyu closed his eyes again and fell into contemplation.

.........

"Gather the generals above the thousand households, this lord has... Something important to announce..."

After a long time, Chen Qiyu opened his eyes suddenly, his narrow eyes revealing a sharp gaze, and then he commanded his soldiers to pass the word in a deep voice.

The heart of the pro-soldier moved, he was a citizen of Chen Qiyu's township, and like all the villagers, they had always been proud of having such a big official in their county, and vaguely guessed that this was an adult to make a decision, and his lips moved to persuade something, so that Chen Qiyu should not be troubled by the influence of others, but when he thought of the silver and grain and other spoils that might be distributed to them after the thieves surrendered, the conversation stopped again, and the words went down in a muffled voice.

The pro-soldiers themselves didn't notice it, his steps unconsciously became brisk, and his face was a little soothing compared to before, but these were all in Chen Qiyu's eyes, he secretly laughed at himself, even the pro-soldiers who had followed him for so long were like this, he couldn't stop the process of things, money was gradually corroding his own army, which was not an elite army, rather than this, it was better to accept their surrender, no matter whether the decision was correct or not, at least it was beneficial to his own soldiers.

In the camp, when Chen Qiyu said his decision in a firm tone, these officers were stunned, and then surprised, thank God, their efforts over the past few days have finally come to fruition, and the follow-up benefits that the commander gave us will not be less...!!

.........

Commander Zhang was very happy, Li Zicheng was very aggrieved, but no matter what, the matter was finally settled, Comrade Zhang Xianzhong's exclusive skills had a huge effect on the officers and soldiers, allowing them to survive temporarily, as long as they were not killed, with the difference in strength between the two sides, all he had to think about was when to come back to life......

So on the 25th day of the fifth month of Chongzhen, more than 180,000 anti-thieves in Shaanxi surrendered, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Guo Tianlong and other leaders were among them, and Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, surrendered.

Since the tone has been set, it must be implemented, but how to surrender is still a big problem, and the same is true for how to place these thieves after surrendering, Chen Qiyu has thought about these problems, and everything is walking according to his train of thought.

180,000 anti-thieves, and countless materials, the former is not important, but the latter has made Chen Qiyu's group of soldiers who have never seen the market crazy, and suddenly all the military regulations and military discipline have been left behind, dozens of soldiers reacted as soon as possible and stepped forward to seize the property, which was cleanly solved by Chen Qiyu and his own soldiers with one hand and one knife, and dozens of bloody heads were dotted on the white snow, not only the anti-thieves, but even the rest of the soldiers were terrified, and only heard Chen Qiyu open his mouth to say.

"First take ten taels of silver for each person, and then transport these belongings to the capital, and then they will inevitably give you and others some rewards, and I hope that the brothers will do their best along the way." Chen Qiyu never mentioned the previous actions of these soldiers, but just ordered the disposal of these belongings, to be honest, millions of taels of silver, even he himself was moved, but everyone's pursuit is different, what Chen Qiyu thinks is not in these yellow and white things.

There are also these anti-thieves, nearly half of the troops have been transported for food and property, so there are only more than 10,000 people escorting the anti-thieves, plus opening the road forward and arranging a rear army, on average, there are about two or three soldiers for every 100 people watching, although the anti-thieves have no weapons, and the soldiers will have weapons, but this number gap makes Chen Qiyu very ecstatic, and he regrets killing those dozens of soldiers on impulse, otherwise one more is counted as one......

Anyway, Chen Qiyu will not do things impulsively, whether he has been tortured by surrender for nearly two months, and he has already communicated with the one in the capital, and only acted after Chongzhen's acquiescence, Chen Qiyu knows that that he may just want to save trouble without having to produce extra grain and grass, as for Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng digging his ancestral grave, maybe they forgot it, or they wanted to settle accounts after surrendering.

Of course, Chen Qiyu and his soldiers, the immediate urgency is to celebrate the New Year first, escort this matter, and talk about it after the New Year.

At the same time, a letter was speeding to the capital.

.........

.........

"It's too much, it's too much." In the imperial study, Chongzhen was angry, roaring, waving the letter in his hand, and in front of him, no one listened.

He had just received Dolgon's negotiation conditions, so that we could not attack, then first send back the Houjin King Huang Taiji, and then 'return' Jinzhou to them, and then compensate the Houjin for the war losses of five million stone of grain, two or two million silver, and the matter passed like this, and the Houjin promised not to attack the Ming Dynasty again in the future.

Arrogant! Arrogant!!

Did my Ming army lose? And what does it mean that Dolgon wrote the three words 'Houjin King' in a particularly large way, is it ironic?

This made Chongzhen have an urge to cut Huang Taiji, don't talk about it, and then he immediately reacted, now in this case, if you want to say who in this world wants Huang Taiji to die the most, Dolgon is called second, and no one is called first, so he is deliberate, yes, Dolgon is deliberate, Chongzhen gave his own answer in his heart, and then frowned, so it will be troublesome, as a bargaining chip, the role of Huang Taiji is greatly reduced, and Daming will lose a lot of benefits......

"Your Majesty, happy event, happy event, great happy event......"

While thinking about it, a sharp shout sounded outside the air, and it was Wang Chengen's voice, which sounded extremely excited.

"Come in and talk..."Chongzhen was interrupted by his train of thought, and his tone was a little impatient.

But after pushing the door in, Wang Chengen's face was full of joy, but he didn't notice it because he was too excited, and he was still saying, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Lord Chen has captured 184,329 thieves in Shaanxi, more than one million stones of grain, more than two or four million taels of silver, and the equivalent value of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings is difficult to calculate......

Wang Chengen chattered endlessly, but Chongzhen didn't hear a word clearly, he only felt that the happiness around him came too suddenly, and his ears were full of 'boom' thunder.

The thunder is rolling to describe his mood at the moment.

I've never heard of accepting someone else's surrender and receiving so much silver...

In the second year of Chongzhen, Shaanxi Yang He spent 100,000 taels of silver to recruit the rebels, and in the third year, Henan Tang Jiuzhou spent 60,000 taels to surrender......

But this time, there is still so much silver to accept the surrender of the anti-thief, and the anti-thief is really... It's really...

The thief is really rich...! Chongzhen finally reacted, and was overjoyed, this is really an unexpected surprise! Chen Qiyu's previous recital was nothing more than asking for money and two, he still remembered the last recital, the general meaning was that if you don't surrender, you have to give silver, otherwise something will happen, Chongzhen's attitude towards Chen Qiyu is perfunctory, because he doesn't know what to do, he can't say in person that he forgives the enemy who dug up his ancestral grave, let alone say that the court has no money.

Before that, the anti-thieves who were surrounded were a good thing for him, and the anti-thieves who surrendered were a burden to him, but this time, it was really a happy event.

"Where's the silver?" Chongzhen blurted out and asked, then realized that there was a bit of a gaffe, how could the silver be transported immediately, and his tone softened, "I ask you, where is the seized silver...?" ”

Wang Chengen willingly put the fold next to the bookcase, and said, "Lord Chen said that he would be transported over after the road was properly arranged after the year, and there would be a few thieves, otherwise I am afraid that there will be more trouble along the way, after all, there is still Gao Yingxiang outside." ”

Chongzhen nodded quietly, and then motioned for Wang Chengen to go out.

The door closed, and after Chongzhen picked up the fold and looked at it repeatedly, there was another burst of exaggerated laughter in the room.

Looking at the rows of numbers on the fold, Chongzhen was really excited and couldn't help himself, how could he not know the meaning of this group of numbers, this is equivalent to four years of taxes in the Ming Dynasty, with this property, many things are no longer a thing.

It's just that the more than 200,000 taels of silver distributed to the soldiers are distressed... But Chongzhen also knew that what he did was a little shabby, so he acquiesced.

What I am afraid of in the war is the lack of money, if the money is available, the seventh will be enough, Chongzhen is very confident now.

Write a few big words on the reply letter to Dolgon, "If you want to fight, you will fight."

In the font of wild grass, the domineering is fully revealed, which is the style of a great country.

Looking at his inscription and the fold of this good news, Chongzhen smiled knowingly, it was really a happy event, a great event.

Chongzhen took up the pen and wrote a sentence on Chen Qiyu's recital, so that the thieves could feel my demeanor.

What does it mean, let Chen Qiyu study it by himself, but he suddenly felt that he had no ill feelings towards the anti-thief.
