Ma Weixing is a guerrilla general under Ma Jinzhong, one of the cavalry commanders, and he is also a fierce general.

According to Ma Jinzhong's order, he and the general Liu Zhiliang had just rushed out of the valley with 10,000 cavalry, but they were surrounded by Li Yan and Huang Degong's 200,000 horses and 300,000 horses.

Although this cavalry is extremely brave, and the number of 10,000 is not small, the Ming army is nearly 30 times that of them, and there is a big river blocking the road in front, and there is a steady stream of Ming troops behind, overwhelmingly surging.

The two of them struggled to break through, but after a few hours, they were finally outnumbered, Ma Weixing and Liu Zhiliang were both captured by Huang Degong, and more than half of the 10,000 elite cavalry under his command were killed or wounded, and the rest all surrendered as prisoners of the Ming army.

At first, the two generals swore not to surrender, but in the end, they all agreed to surrender.

When Ma Weixing heard his name called, his two eyes turned around, and when he saw Chongzhen, he quickly took his gaze back, and then went to the Jinyi guard and the eunuch, took the silver in his hand and didn't look at it, turned around and left.

At this time, Chongzhen took Wang Chengen to this team.

There was a captive behind Ma Weixing.

This person was not lightly injured, half of his head was entangled, and one eye should also be blind.

Seeing Chongzhen coming over with Wang Chengen, one of the captives' eyes was quite good, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, but he instantly regained his calm.

At this time, a Jinyi guard called his name, "Next, Wang Xingyuan, a thousand households in the army, 20 taels."

This captive named Wang Xingyuan, after reaching out to take the silver, followed Ma Weixing away, and Chongzhen kept staring at his figure.

"Master? ......" Wang Chengen beside him saw a clue, but he didn't dare to speak.

Chongzhen left the scene of the silver distribution and returned to the palace, Wang Chengen said boldly, "Master, is there anything wrong with the captive?"

"Hahaha, Wang Daban deserves to have followed me for so many years, it's really a roundworm in my stomach, and there is indeed something wrong with these captives."

Chongzhen talked and laughed, pacing back and forth.

Chan'er and Xiaowan saw that their monarchs and ministers talked about the affairs of the government and the opposition, and quickly retreated with interest.

"Master?"

"I think these captives are fake surrenders."

"These rebels and thieves!" Wang Chengen scolded, "Master, it's better to kill all these captives, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Zuo Liangyu was originally born in the army, a martial artist, he has so many soldiers and horses, many of them are born as thieves, and he has to learn from thieves and thieves?"

Chongzhen said, "I think that Ma Jinzhong is among these captives."

Chongzhen's words, how big was Wang Chengen's white face and frightened mouth?

Can this rebel thief?

His nickname is mixed 100,000, which is very likely.

How can you see it, thousands of horses and thousands of troops have been looking for a few days and there is no whereabouts of him, this kid is fishing in troubled waters......

If this is the case, then it is all the more necessary to kill these captives, and it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to spare one, lest they be disadvantageous to His Majesty.

Chongzhen said, "But if they are all killed, it will not be possible, because there are many captives who have sincerely surrendered to me, and I cannot kill innocents in vain, otherwise I will not become a tyrant who does not distinguish between black and white?"

"Ye is really a bodhisattva." Wang Chengen also looked helpless.

It can't be killed, and it can't be done if you don't kill.

What the master said is very reasonable, these prisoners with ghosts killed them, and they died innocently, and the emperor was as kind to them as a mountain. With what they do, they are innocent.

But the emperor was gracious, opened up to them, allowed them to continue to eat food and become soldiers, and immediately gave them salaries, those who have no conscience, dare to have two hearts for the lord?

But if they are all killed, won't those captives who sincerely surrender to the Ming Dynasty lose their lives in vain and sink to the bottom of the sea?

Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to go to Xuan Li Yan and Huang Degong, Liu Zhaoji and Ma Bao.

"See the Emperor." Soon the four generals knelt down in front of Chongzhen.

Chongzhen asked them to calm down, "A few Qing families, I have adopted them this time

Captive, feel a little strange, beware of the captives mutiny."

As soon as Chongzhen said this, Li Yan and the other 4 people also became nervous, and the captives mutinied, is it possible?

Since they have followed Chongzhen for so long, they have not encountered a captive who has rebelled against the water, His Majesty and the emperor's grace has come to this point, and these thieves still have to rebel against the water, which is really innocent.

It's that Chongzhen, many thieves who surrendered to the court kept turning back, such as Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, etc., but that Chongzhen allowed them to surrender again and again, and fight against the water again and again, and keep playing like this until the emperor is killed.

"Qing and the others must make their subordinates more vigilant, but they can't startle the snake and kill innocents indiscriminately, otherwise it is easy to make those prisoners who sincerely surrender suspicious and cause chaos, but the mutinous generals will all be killed, but there is one exception, that is, Ma Jinzhong."

"Master, if this thief really mutinies, does Master still plan to pardon him?" Wang Chengen was puzzled.

"Wang Daban, you don't understand, he is now with me to complete the trick, thinking that he is a step ahead, and I haven't caught him yet. When he catches him and breaks his deception, if he doesn't surrender, he will only let his head fall to the ground. I have said that I will open up to him and give him a chance to be loyal, how can I not be trustworthy?"

"The old slave receives the order, and the ministers obey the order."

Wang Chengen and these generals spoke in unison, feeling that His Majesty was really benevolent and righteous to this Ma Jinzhong.

This is the blessing he has cultivated in several lifetimes, and the ancestral tomb is estimated to be smoking, and the emperor can be so kind to him.

Chongzhen did this, of course, in order to retain talents for the Ming Dynasty, a general like Ma Jinzhong would rather die in battle than surrender to the Manchu Dynasty***, too little, the Ming Dynasty needs such a temperamental general.

Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find.

After these generals retired, Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen to invite all the sect leaders of these hundreds of martial arts masters to the main hall.

These martial arts masters, since they are willing to submit to the imperial court, are willing to only look forward to Chongzhen's horse, and are willing to contribute to the Ming Dynasty, the food is so expensive, of course Chongzhen can't raise hundreds of them in vain.

Chongzhen sent an edict that if these captives dared to mutiny, let these martial arts masters immediately take action to kill all these mutinous captives and minimize the casualties.

Of course, it's still the same sentence, Ma Jinzhong is an exception, this person wants to live.

"Your Majesty, what does the thief Ma Jinzhong look like, I haven't seen it yet, if it's a dark sky, if it's a mistakenly killed, wouldn't it be a big deal for Your Majesty?"

Shaolin abbot Yuantong Master Dao, Wudang head Zhang Mingzhi, beggar gang leader, and the Heaven and Earth Sect of the White Lotus Sect also echoed the voice.

Chongzhen smiled, this is not simple, "Ma Jinzhong is brave and good at fighting, known as ten thousand enemies, since he planned the prisoner mutiny, he is definitely the leader, and these leaders will be captured alive when the time comes." But don't expose it in advance, and don't kill innocents indiscriminately."

"Your Majesty, we will obey Your Majesty's will."

Shaolin monks, Wudang veterans, as well as the beggars' Huazi, the White Lotus Sect and the Heaven and Earth Society, etc., all withdrew after receiving the order.

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
