Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 228 Chapter 228, Zhu Cihuang met with Dingguo, Zhang Xianzhong questioned
Looking at Zhu Cihong in front of him, Li Dingguo was speechless for a while.

Li Dingguo knew Zhu Cihong's age, and also guessed Zhu Cihong's appearance.

But no matter what, it shouldn't be like this.

A very handsome young man with a gentle tone and even a bit of elegance when speaking.

He didn't have too many splendid clothes, and he just sat there so plainly, revealing a noble and majestic temperament.

This kind of temperament is so appropriate that even Li Dingguo had the illusion that this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince might be born so noble.

Li Dingguo calmed down a little, and said, "Thank you Your Highness, let's drink tea."

Zhu Cihong was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I thought that generals like you who like fighting on the battlefield would be more inclined to drink."

Li Dingguo sat down in the seat in front of Zhu Cihuang, and said, "If it was at other times, I would choose to drink. But in front of the prince, drinking tea to stay awake is a better choice."

Zhu Cixiang laughed: "It seems that this is a compliment to me. Okay, you all can go down."

Gao Dejie was a little worried, but after receiving Zhu Cihong's clear order, he still took the Ming army guards and left temporarily.

Li Dingguo signaled his followers to leave at the same time.

Holding the teapot, Zhu Cihong poured tea into their cups one after another, then raised his own cup to take a sip, and smiled at Li Dingguo, "You know, when I saw the many rivers on this side of Jiujiang, what was in my mind? What is it?"

Li Dingguo said: "I would like to hear the details."

Zhu Cihong said: "What I think is that if you fish here, you will probably gain a lot."

Li Dingguo: "..."

Obviously, he did not expect that Zhu Cixiang's first topic would be this.

Li Dingguo calmed down, took a sip of tea, and said, "If the world is peaceful in the future, everyone will be able to fish."

Zhu Cixiang nodded and said with great interest: "It seems that General Li also knows the benefits of peace in the world, so why don't you surrender to the imperial court?"

This change of topic suddenly made Li Dingguo a little unable to keep up.

But soon, Li Dingguo said calmly: "It's not like we haven't accepted the imperial court's offer, but what the imperial court wants is not peace, but our heads."

Zhu Cixiang laughed and said: "What you call "recruitment" means refusing to hand over military power, holding on to Gucheng, and waiting for another rebellion in a few months?"

What Zhu Cihong said was the truth, so Li Dingguo was somewhat guilty, but he still forced himself to defend himself: "The court is not sincere, this is something that everyone knows from the beginning to the end. If we don't do anything, can we just sit and wait for death? "

Zhu Cihong shook his head and said: "Li Dingguo, you are considered a talent in my heart, so I can give you a chance. If you remember what I said, if you have nowhere to go in the future, you can choose to surrender to Daming, and Daming will give you a chance. You have a stage."

After Li Dingguo was silent for a few seconds, he said: "With the words of His Highness the Crown Prince, if Li conquers Beijing in the future, His Highness the Crown Prince will be given a way to survive."

Zhu Cihong laughed loudly: "Since that's the case, let's wait and see. Come, see off the guests!"

After a while, Li Dingguo returned to the ship of the Great Western Army, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

I thought Zhu Cilang would say something else, but it turns out... that's it?
A few words that don't hurt or itch, plus ineffective persuasion, and then it's over?
With this doubt, Li Dingguo returned to Jiujiang City by boat.

The officers and soldiers of the Daxi Army on the ship were very nervous, worried that they would be attacked by the imperial court on the way. They did not breathe a sigh of relief until they landed at the dock of Jiujiang City.

Li Dingguo said calmly: "This kind of worry is unnecessary, that His Royal Highness is not such a person."

A voice suddenly sounded: "No matter what kind of person His Royal Highness is, I don't want my successor to be a brainless person."

Li Dingguo was startled, looked up, and immediately saluted respectfully: "Father."

The person standing on the pier was none other than Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong looked obviously in a bad mood. He said to Li Dingguo: "Let's go back and talk!"

On the river, Zhu Cixi stood on the side of the ship and watched Li Dingguo's ship land.

Gao Dejie said softly: "Your Highness, if we had just started, we would have a chance to keep Li Dingguo behind."

Zhu Cixiang shook his head: "That's not necessary."

Li Dingguo is not Zhang Xianzhong, and killing Li Dingguo will not completely defeat Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army.

In view of the fact that Li Dingguo did his last effort to resist the Qing Dynasty in history, even though this kind of effort is likely only because Zhang Xianzhong was shot to death by Hauge so Li Dingguo wanted revenge, but anyway, he was indeed fighting the Qing Dynasty At the last moment.

This is worth giving once, of course, only once.

Gao Dejie said: "Then what should we do now?"

Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "Of course we are waiting for Zhang Xianzhong's army to arrive."

Ten thousand musketeers, this is Zhu Cihong's real trump card, and it is not known to Zhang Xianzhong.

Musketeers can only display their greatest power in field battles, so Zhu Cihong hopes to have a field battle with the Daxi Army.

So the question is, under what circumstances would the Daxi Army take the initiative to go out of the city to fight the Ming army?
The answer is very simple, that is when the Daxi Army felt that the field advantage was also great, that is, when Zhang Xianzhong led the main force of the Daxi Army to Jiujiang.

Zhang Xianzhong sat down and said coldly to Li Dingguo: "Who gave you the courage to leave the camp and meet Zhu Cixiang without reporting it to the king?"

Li Dingguo hurriedly explained: "My father misunderstood, my son just wanted to go and see what kind of evil idea His Royal Highness is up to."

Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile that was not a smile: "Then the king asks you, do you now know what Zhu Cilang is up to?"

Li Dingguo paused for a moment, with a strange expression on his face, and said, "It seems that he just wants to meet my son."

Zhang Xianzhong laughed: "Meet me? You said that Zhu Cihong just wanted to meet you?"

Li Dingguo recalled many plots and became more and more certain: "Yes, this should be his plan."

Zhang Xianzhong sneered: "Okay, very good. The child has grown up and has his own ideas. As a father, no one is willing to tell me the truth!"

Li Dingguo was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Father, everything my son said is true, there is absolutely no falsehood."

Zhang Xianzhong snorted and stared at Li Dingguo for a long time, until Li Dingguo's back was soaked, then he said slowly: "Remember, don't lie to me in the future, otherwise I can only suspect you. Use your heart!"

After saying this, Zhang Xianzhong stood up and left the room directly.

Li Dingguo's face turned green and pale, and he felt really wronged in his heart.

He really didn't lie!
