"Tian Jianxiu, Liu Fangliang, Wu Ruyi, the three of you led the forces of two armies respectively to capture Anqing Mansion, Chizhou Mansion, Ningguo Mansion and Taiping Mansion."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will obey the order!"

"He Jin, Li Jin, the two of you also led two armies separately and marched eastward, responsible for attacking Changzhou Mansion and Suzhou Mansion."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will obey the order!"

"Party Shousu, you are in charge of the sailors, cruising on the river, transporting the river to cross the river, but also to warn the sailors of the Ming court, completely blocking the contact between the Ming army in Yangzhou and the outside world."

......

With Li Zicheng's orders one by one, some pictures appeared in everyone's minds, and they understood his intentions, the emperor wanted to completely open up the two battlefields in the east and west, so as to form a corner trend, and Gao Yigong and Liu Zongmin of Huguang responded to each other, and slowly advanced to the south, like two giant palms, going hand in hand, fighting steadily, and eating away at the remnants of the Ming Court little by little.

As for the little Ming army in Yangzhou Mansion, Shi Kefa can't support it for a few days at all, and it will definitely be defeated!

They departed, returned to their respective camps, made preparations, and set out for their respective destinations.

At this moment, a soldier walked in quickly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xu asks to see!" ”

Hearing this, Li Zicheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly said happily: "Hurry up, please Mr. Xu and them come in!" ”

Soon, under the leadership of the soldier, Xu Xiake slowly walked in with a person, and Li Zicheng left the dragon chair, walked down the steps quickly, took three steps and made two steps, and hurriedly greeted him, and said loudly: "Haha... Mr. Xu, Lord Xiong, are you finally here? ”

The person next to Xu Xiake was Xiong Wencan, the last governor of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty, who was captured alive in Nanyang Mansion.

"Hehe... Your Majesty, you're polite. ”

Xu Xiake said a greeting, then looked at Xiong Wencan, formed a palm with his right hand, stretched it out, pointed sideways at Li Zicheng, and said loudly: "Lord Xiong, this is the Emperor of the Dashun Dynasty who has been mentioned to you many times, Emperor Li Sheng, the current Emperor Yongchang!" ”

In an instant, Xiong Wencan was stunned, dumbfounded, shocked inexplicably in his heart, and worried, his heart hung up, thumping, worried about Xu Xiake.

Even if he was accustomed to seeing the various reforms of the Dashun Dynasty, from the people's livelihood to the rule of officials, and then to the monarch, he never thought that the elegant Xu Xiake would introduce the monarch of a country like this, and he dared to call him by his name like this, in any dynasty, even if his crime is not to exterminate the nine clans, but it is also a felony that is beheaded all over the house!

As if seeing what Xiong Wencan was thinking, Li Zicheng laughed heartily and said disapprovingly: "Lord Xiong, don't be strange, let alone surprised, why stick to the old rites?" The name is used to get it. Otherwise, what's the use of it? Moreover, the reason why Mr. Xu introduced this is also what I have repeatedly explained. ”

"Ah~uh~ It turned out to be ..... Such..... Ahh

Xiong Wencan was still surprised, he couldn't adapt for a while, his speech became unfavorable, he stammered, and his expression was very unnatural.

Li Zicheng did not continue to dwell on this issue and explain anything, but changed his words, his face was solemn, and he was polite, and said softly: "Lord Xiong, on the way here, you must have understood, Mr. Xu has revealed some news, this time I invite you to Nanjing City, I, Li Zicheng, want to entrust you to do something, noncommittal?" ”

"Your Majesty, if Lord Xiong can come to Nanjing City, he will already ......"

Before Xu Xiake could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Zicheng's wave.

"Hey... Mr. Xu, don't say much, it's better for Lord Xiong to answer this matter personally, the stakes are very high, it is related to success or failure, and it is not allowed to be sloppy, let alone reluctantly. ”

At this moment, Xiong Wencan had woken up from the shock just now, and was barely able to accept Xu Xiake's words about introducing the emperor, as soon as he heard Li Zicheng's words, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty, Lord Xu has already told Weichen everything about the matter, if it weren't for the emperor's repeated explanations and special orders, don't say that Weichen's life, that is, Weichen's family, I'm afraid they will all die in the war, and their lives will not be guaranteed." ”

"Now, the Wechen family admires the emperor's grace and bathes in the blessings of the new dynasty, how dare Wechen refuse? Even if you don't think about the lives of Wechen's own family, for the well-being of the people of Guangdong, and for the sake of the people of the world, Wechen will go to Guangdong, give him a try, and complete the task assigned by the emperor. ”

What Xiong Wencan said was an impassioned statement, and Li Zicheng was very satisfied with it, nodded frequently, and responded: "Lord Xiong, don't worry, this time you go to Guangdong, there will be someone to protect your safety, even if the operation cannot be successful, you can retreat calmly." And, rest assured, someone will take care of your family. Take 10,000 steps back and say something unlucky, even if you encounter an accident, it is also a martyr of the Great Shun Dynasty, and the court will support your parents and take care of your wife and children. ”

Hearing the previous words, Xiong Wencan could still maintain a calm heart and his face did not change, but as soon as he heard Li Zicheng's words, his body trembled slightly, and his heart was twisted together, and he also knew that he would not be able to complete the task if he did not work hard.

Li Zicheng's words with hints are too obvious, not only are they threatening, but they also want to do their best.

Of course, it is undeniable that what Li Zicheng said is true, Xiong Wencan has read the military regulations of the Dashun Army, and not only knows all kinds of strict and loose military regulations, but also understands the welfare of soldiers.

The word martyr is the greatest recognition of the sacrificed soldiers of the Dashun Army, as well as the protection of their families.

All the families of martyrs, as long as the Dashun Dynasty is not extinguished, will receive special care from the Dashun Dynasty, and those who bully the families of the martyrs, up to the emperor's house and down to the common people of Limin, will be punished exponentially!

Xu Xiake's mouth opened, his face was sympathetic, he just wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to open his mouth?

He can understand Li Zicheng doing this, and he also knows the importance of the matter, Xiong Wencan can also understand, not only because that matter is too important, but also because he Xiong Wencan is a second minister, and he has not been in the Dashun Army for a long time, and he can't get Li Zicheng's trust.

It is human nature to beat and beat, threaten and threaten, and give grace and power together, as long as it is a thoughtful person, it is inevitable, and he will choose the same approach as Li Zicheng.

Thinking of this, the resentment in Xiong Wencan's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, but Li Zicheng asked again: "Lord Xiong, how sure are you about that matter during this trip to Guangdong?" ”

Hearing this, Xiong Wencan did not answer immediately, but showed a thoughtful look, pondered for a moment, and then replied earnestly: "Your Majesty, this is not easy to say, although Weichen once recruited that person, but that person has a perverse temperament and is good at arguing, it is difficult to say whether he will remember the old love." ”

For a while, Li Zicheng's brows furrowed into a pimple, and he said: "Lord Xiong, if you can persuade that person to surrender, you will save a lot of war, and the people of Guangdong will be spared the suffering of war. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely do his best to promote that matter, persuade that person to surrender, and lead the people to join our Dashun Dynasty."

Although he still wanted to say something, Li Zicheng still held back, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and changed his words: "Okay, Lord Xiong, with your words, I will be relieved." As for the need to persuade the man, just say that I will try to satisfy you, as long as there is a better chance of success. ”
