"Mr. Li Yan is respectfully enlightened, I Zhu Zhu by the inspection of Xi Zuen, to inherit the unification of the world, self-thinking stupid and unbearable, not as good as Taizu into the ancestor in case, but eighteen years have not been a little slack, exhausted, such as walking on thin ice, but there are Hu Lu outside, there are traitors inside, the sky is cold, there are countless hungry people, so that the country is lost, the people are displaced, now Mr. Wen has the talent of strategy, so I would like to ask Mr. to assist me, or I can be stunned, not confused by traitors, for the well-being of the people, for the peace of the world, to destroy the slaves, to revitalize my Han Dynasty!"

Jinyi Wei Qianhu Lan Guanwei said, and then handed the invitation that Zhu Youzhen had written earlier to Li Yan.

Li Yan saw that Emperor Zhu Youzhen personally posted on himself, and directly called himself Mr., he was also quite moved, and then looked at the content of the letter is also the sincerity of an emperor, and then thought that now he and Zhu Ming's purpose is indeed the same, that is, to resist the Qing Dynasty, so he is also a little moved, so he asked: "Zhu Youzhen recruited me alone or my brother of the entire Dashun Army?" ”

"For the Shunjun brothers, Your Majesty has already had a clear will to appease, if your emperor Li Zicheng is willing to join the Ming Dynasty, abandon the previous suspicions, and work together to resist the Qing Dynasty, and has told the governors of the provinces and the governors of the army, if there is a Shun army to surrender, you must accept it politely, do not slack off, before the order of the court is issued, the official position in the Shun court is retained, and the treatment is equivalent to the civil and military officials of the same grade in the imperial court, if Mr. is willing to bring hundreds of thousands of brothers from the Shun army to join the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty is naturally very moved!"

As soon as Lan Guanwei said this, Li Yan nodded and said, "You wait first, and then I will talk after I discuss it with the soldiers." ”

Not long after, Li Yan ordered Li Gui to beat the drum and recall the generals.

"Strategist, what's the matter, could it be that Jiannu is calling again?" Gao Yigong asked.

"It's not a long-term solution now, our army is sleepy and lacking, and there is a shortage of food and grass, so in my opinion, how about the military division take us to the Ming court?" In the army, many generals have already been affected by Zhu Youzhen's edict to order the world, for example, Liu Tiren had the intention of belonging before Li Yan could say anything about Zhu Youzhen's appeasement.

In the past, when Li Zicheng was still there, no one dared to clearly express their purpose of wanting to belong to the Ming Court, but now that Li Zicheng is dead, and Zhu Youzhen's intention to appease the Shun Army has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, some generals naturally can't wait to return to the Ming Court as officials, after all, in the hearts of many people, the Ming Dynasty is still the orthodox court, and they are still rebels, and it seems to be a wise and good thing to return to the right.

Dang Shousu, Yuan Zongdi and other generals also echoed the voice.

Li Yan saw that everyone had the intention of believing, so he nodded and said: "Today Li summoned you, that is, someone from the court came to appease, Li did not dare to make a claim, and asked the meaning of your brothers, now Your Majesty has just left, the dragons have no leader, and the Qing army is not dead, and now the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen is exempt from tax and free money and grain, and there are many painful changes to the past, sympathetic to the people's livelihood, and it is indeed the only choice to return to the court now, since you are interested in attaching, Li will not say anything else, but Li still asks, is there anyone who is unwilling to accept the court's appeasement, Please stand up, Li Yan and your brothers will not force it, and they should avoid it when they meet each other in the future. ”

Everyone looked at each other, but no one stood up, after all, everyone knew that it was completely meaningless to choose to fight alone, either to choose to join the Manchu Qing or choose to join the Ming court, but the Manchu Qing was a combination of the Manchu military aristocracy and the Han big bureaucracy and warlords, and they were naturally hostile to the peasant army and were alien, so they were willing to accept the annexation to the Ming court.

"Since all the brothers are interested in attaching themselves to the Ming court, then Li Yan doesn't have to say anything, but after all, we are also princes, and we can't be contemptuous, if the court wants to appease, we must show the sincerity of appeasement, let whoever appease us, we accept the conditions of appeasement, everyone can mention it."

As soon as Li Yan said this, Dang Shousu stood up: "I heard that Lu Xiangsheng is very powerful, he is a great hero with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and if you want to recruit us, you have to be this kind of person, or let him come." ”

"Duke Lu had already been killed by eunuchs and died at the hands of Jiannu", Li Yan said, and the other generals of the Shun army couldn't help but sigh.

Then, Yuan Zongdi said: "I remember that there is another person named Yang Sichang, who seems to be the old man of the court, and his four squares, six corners and ten sides of the net made us really suffer back then, do you want this person to come?" ”

"Elder Yang Ge has already killed himself because of the failure to suppress Zhang Xianzhong", Li Yan said this, and everyone couldn't help but sigh again.

"There is also a man named Hong Chengchou who also seems to be very powerful, why don't you let him recruit us?"

Li Jin also said.

Li Yan couldn't help but ask coldly: "Hong Chengchou has surrendered to Jiannu in Songshan, if you want to join Hong Chengchou, don't you want to join Jiannu?" ”

"Grandma, the two officials in front of me are still well-deserved, why did this Hong Chengchou become a traitor, how can we vote for him!"

As soon as Gao Yigong said this, the generals of the Shun Army of other ministries also scolded Hong Chengchou.

"Ladies and gentlemen! And listen to Li Mou, how do you decide again, which court official to send to appease, but to see whether the court attaches importance to us, we are attached to the Ming Emperor, not to which official, these officials are not qualified to lead us, therefore, Li Mou appointed as, among the appeasement officials, the civil official must be at least the governor of the governor above the servant, and the military attache must be above the general soldier, preferably our own brother Liu Fangliang, I heard that he is now the chief military officer of the Guards under the command of the Ming Emperor, and his own brother is naturally easy to speak, what do you think! ”

Li Yan asked.

The generals of the Shun army below hurriedly echoed: "This is good! Liu Fangliang's guy can be the chief soldier now, let's say no less than him, don't you say! ”

"That's it! As far as those eggs in the court are concerned, we can't be worse than them."

Li Yan couldn't help but smile and pressed his hand: "Everyone, listen to Li, for our conditions, Li believes that at least the following points must be proposed: first, bury my emperor Daxing, bury him with the emperor's rites, and not turn over old accounts, and the grievances between the first emperor and us and the court will be written off, and the court shall not be held accountable; Second, after you are attached, Dashun civil and military officials at all levels shall not be demoted or taken away from military power; 3. We will only vote for the Ming Emperor when we return to the imperial court, and shall not accept anyone's command, and only obey the orders of the Ming Emperor; Fourth, we have a common enmity with the Tartars, and accepting the court's appeasement is to resist the Qing Dynasty together, and the court must not send us to suppress the thieves and quell the chaos, nor can we wait for us to rest in peace, we are willing to fight to the death for the court and the Qing army, in order to avenge the revenge of the emperor and the dead brothers! ”

"What the military advisor said is very true, everything is arranged by the military advisor!"

"Yes, everything is up to the military advisor."

The crowd chimed in.

Li Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking to himself that these people were roasting themselves on the fire, after hundreds of thousands of Shun troops were attached to the imperial court, how could the Ming Emperor tolerate me.
