Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin were all under house arrest, including the guards who followed them into the city, and the white pole soldiers led by them were still stationed outside the city of Kuizhou, not knowing anything that was happening in the city.

Zheng Xunrui knows very well that he must persuade Ma Xianglin to pacify the 30,000 white pole soldiers, under the current situation, Zheng Xunrui does not want to take any means of suppression, it seems too ruthless, of course, the matter has reached the point of being out of control, and it is not ruled out that violence will be used to solve the problem.

Qin Liangyu is very old, although he has supreme prestige among the white pole soldiers, but his thinking has been fixed, it is impossible to submit to him Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun, Zheng Xunrui does not want to kill, especially in the face of an old minister like Qin Liangyu, the best way is to send Qin Liangyu to the capital, as for how the emperor will treat Qin Liangyu, it is not a matter for him to consider.

Nanzhili and Shaanxi are the most stable, Shandong is barely stable, Zhejiang is not very stable, not to mention Huguang and Sichuan, this is also because Zheng Xunrui is only an official in Shaanxi and Nanzhili, he has plenty of time to implement his own policies and take down those disobedient officials, but Shandong, Zhejiang, Huguang and Sichuan and other places, there is no such foundation, which also indicates that Zheng Xunrui needs to invest more energy in these places to be able to really control these places.

There are many ways, violence is the easiest way, but it is also the most sequelae of the way, after a place suffers violence, it is difficult to completely stabilize for a long time, such lessons in history are vivid, so until the last resort, Zheng Xunrui will not use violent means.

To control the power or seize the world, you can't have the kindness of a woman, and many times you need to be ruthless, Zheng Xunrui understands this truth very well. Therefore, although he is unwilling to do many things, and it is difficult to accept emotionally, he must do it, the long pain is better than the short pain, the indecision does not say that he suffers losses, and there are more people who pay the price in the end.

Zheng Jiajun entered Sichuan. Through the method of blitzkrieg, Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates were completely eliminated in a short period of time, so Zheng Xunrui was ready to try the method he thought of in this place and control Sichuan through various means.

Recovering the white pole soldiers is the first step.

When Ma Xianglin entered the wing room again, his expression was very solemn, he knew what Zheng Xunrui meant, after all, he had been in the Zheng family army for many years, and his mother put him in the Zheng family army at the beginning, and later because of special circumstances. He left the Zheng family army and returned to the white pole soldiers of the stone pillar, but over the years, Ma Xianglin has not been particularly happy, no matter what aspect, the white pole soldiers can not be compared with the Zheng family army, Ma Xianglin also tried to put the training methods of the Zheng family army, as well as the relevant military discipline and military regulations into the white pole soldiers, but unfortunately these are all in vain. There is not such a good atmosphere among the white pole soldiers.

Zheng Xunrui's ambition, Ma Xianglin is very clear. Next, he needs to make a choice, either do what Zheng Xunrui asks, completely transform the white pole soldiers, and make the white pole soldiers a part of the Zheng family army, or agree with his mother's point of view, and finally be sent to the capital by Zheng Xunrui.

But when I got to the capital. Could there be any good results, he Ma Xianglin was originally a toast, and he would be inferior in the capital, not to mention that the struggle in the capital is so complicated, and it is more important. Ma Xianglin knows very well how his father Ma Qiancheng died, maybe he followed his mother to the capital, and he would end up like his father.

But surrendering to Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun, Ma Xianglin felt that he had gone against his mother's wishes, and perhaps he would not be forgiven by his mother in this life, and he would also be regarded as a sinner by the clan.

Ma Xianglin was in torment, and he really didn't know how to choose.

"Ma Xianglin, I know you are very hesitant, if you don't hesitate, I will be worried, but the choice is also very clear, either you choose to surrender, or you choose to leave Sichuan and go to the capital, there is no other choice, you have been in the Zheng family army for so many years, and you have also experienced a lot of fighting, there is no merit and hard work, so I will personally persuade you."

"You are a soldier, there is no point in talking too much, everyone has the idea of loyalty, if everyone thinks about rebellion, the world would have been in chaos a long time ago, but what we need to consider is that the Ming Dynasty has lasted for more than 300 years, why now, there are so many rogues, and the Houjin Tartars are also eyeing the Central Plains, by the way, there is one more thing, I can tell you, after Li Zicheng captured the city of Taiyuan, he called himself the generalissimo of Fengtian and advocated righteousness, and his acceptance has persuaded him to be the emperor, If it weren't for Gu Junen and others who thought that the time was not ripe, Li Zicheng would have proclaimed himself emperor at this time. ”

"Since you are a soldier, you should be cheerful and make a decision earlier, the 30,000 white pole soldiers stationed outside the city are also waiting, I don't want to have fratricidal things......"

Zheng Xunrui did not ask Ma Xianglin to express his position immediately, and even persuaded Ma Xianglin to consult his mother Qin Liangyu's opinion, which made Ma Xianglin very surprised, he and his mother Qin Liangyu were under house arrest in different rooms, and it was impossible to meet.

Qin Liangyu's expression was very calm, which made Ma Xianglin extremely surprised.

After seeing Ma Xianglin come in, Qin Liangyu spoke.

"Lin'er, the prince must have found you and asked you to make a decision."

"Exactly, the child can't make a decision for a while, and the prince suggests that the child come and see his mother."

Qin Liangyu let out a long sigh, was silent for a moment and spoke.

"The prince is the dragon among people, this world will be the prince sooner or later, in fact, I have thought of this a long time ago, but the prince still has a benevolent side in doing things, today's situation, if I choose, I will never show mercy, you and I have already lost our lives, I know that the prince will not be a killer, but he will not let you and my mother and son go."

"Mother, the child is really hesitant, the child has been in the Zheng family army for many years, and he feels disagreeing, the Zheng family army has completely wiped out Zhang Xianzhong and more than 100,000 rogues under his command in just a few days, if the Zheng family army is really ready to conquer the white pole soldiers, the child knows that it is impossible to resist, and many Tusi in Sichuan are also unable to resist, so it is very likely that there will be a situation of blood flowing, but the child really doesn't want to see such a scene."

Qin Liangyu sighed slightly again.

"Lin'er, are you thinking about submitting to the prince, to be honest, I won't blame you."

"The child does have such thoughts, I don't know why, at this time the child thought of his father."

Qin Liangyu's body trembled slightly.

There was a long silence in the room.

A quarter of an hour passed, and Qin Liangyu finally spoke.

"The prince is indeed powerful, I am ashamed of myself, in fact, the prince already knows my choice."

Qin Liangyu said very hard, as if he was making some major decisions.

"The prince knows that it is impossible for me to rebel against the emperor and the court, so I chose you, and the prince knows that I will not stop you, so I am relieved to boldly let our mother and son meet.

"Mother means to make the child agree."

Qin Liangyu glared at Ma Xianglin.

"Don't interrupt when I'm talking."

Ma Xianglin lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Lin'er, following the prince may be the best choice, the north has been in chaos, Li Zicheng occupied Henan and Shanxi, conquered Kaifeng Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion, Houjin Tartar is plundering in the north Zhili, in fact, after the defeat of Songshan, in the face of these situations, the court has been powerless, if it is not for the Zheng family army to exterminate Zhang Xianzhong, the situation in Huguang and Sichuan is also chaotic, in this case, how to maintain the emperor and the court, think about it, what the prince said is right, in the end it is the common people who suffer."

"I have carefully looked at it in various places in Nanzhili, the prince's implementation of the official gentry to pay the grain, I am most impressed, it is said that the scholars and gentry in Nanzhili are very powerful, but in the face of the prince, they dare not resist at all, some gentry and rich families choose to leave Nanzhili and go to the north, but in the end they returned to the south, in the south they only need to pay taxes, and in the north they are likely to lose their lives."

"Over the years, a large number of gentry and wealthy families have entered Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and it is said that they should be loyal to the emperor and the imperial court, and should stay in Beizhili, but unfortunately their choice is to save their lives and wealth."

"From these things, I feel that the prince does have a unique ability to govern the place, which is incomparable to anyone, otherwise there would not be a large number of people entering Nanzhili, and at the same time, I also feel that even if the prince is ready to ascend the throne as the emperor, there are many people who support him."

"The Zheng family army under the command of the prince is extremely strong in combat, with the ability of the Zheng family army, the prince can conquer the Ming Dynasty, but the prince has no such choice, he thinks of the people in the world, and with this, I am convinced."

"The matter of Tusi controlling the army, it really makes some sense, Houjin Tartar is the most obvious lesson, the white pole soldiers are loyal to the court, but who can guarantee that other Tusi are loyal to the court." ……

Ma Xianglin had already understood what his mother meant, and he had also made a decision at this time.

"Child, follow the prince, I entrusted you to the prince many years ago, and now I have the same attitude."

After finally clarifying the meaning, Qin Liangyu stopped talking.

At this time, Ma Xianglin spoke.

"Mother, the prince asks the child to bring a word, please let the mother enjoy her old age in Nanjing, don't think about so many things, and don't go to the capital, once the child defects to the prince, the mother goes to the capital, and it is very likely that ...... will encounter accidents."

Qin Liangyu smiled bitterly, she could only sigh, Zheng Xunrui had thought of everything, with such an ability, it would be a sure thing to control the big tomorrow. (To be continued.) )
