First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Then it was to capture the prisoners, appease the people, extinguish the flames, and the battle was completely over until the sun was up.

It was exactly half an hour before the day.

perfect!

After successfully taking Huazhou, Feng Guoyong came immediately, and in addition to rewarding Ding Pulang, he ordered all the prisoners to be called over.

"Anything delicious?"

Feng Guosheng hurriedly said: "There are only some white flour buns and some dried meat. There are not many vegetables, and there are a few barrels of oil."

"That's good too! Hurry up and make some dishes, fry them in meat oil, and then add water to make soup. It must be fragrant and full of flavor."

Feng Guosheng quickly agreed, and nearly an hour later, nearly a thousand prisoners were all escorted over.

Feng Guoyong gave them steamed buns with his own hands, and each of them got a bowl of soup with a thick layer of lard floating in the bowl.

"Brothers, whether you are from Henan or Guanzhong...you have been fighting for so many years, and you should enjoy peace. The fields in your hometown have been divided long ago, and meat can be eaten in many places when the New Year comes. Henan is similar. We can eat enough. What we want is peace, what we want is to have enough food and drink, and live a peaceful and stable life."

"My name is Feng Guoyong, and I am the governor who marched into Guanzhong this time. I can make the decision. No matter what you have done before or what your background is, you can live a good life from now on. You guys take this with you. Go back and tell the other brothers, tell Li Siqi, as long as he surrenders, we will never hurt his life, let alone him, even King Xiao Ming will be fine!"

Little King Ming!

Suddenly, someone stood up among the prisoners and asked in surprise: "His Majesty King Xiao Ming is still alive?"

"Alive, not only alive, but also studying in a school in Chenliu."

Feng Guo looked at the other party with a smile. This is a middle-aged man with three or four scars on his face, which is very frightening.

"Brother, you, who are you? Know King Xiao Ming?"

This person seemed to have never heard of it, and suddenly said: "You didn't lie to me? You really didn't kill Xiaoming Wang?"

Feng Guoyong laughed loudly, "Why did we kill King Ming? To tell you the truth, General Mao Guimao became a minister on our side. If it wasn't for Liu Taibao's temper, he would rather bend than bend. If he comes to our side, he will have a position." of."

Hearing this, the man finally sat down and grinned wryly, "How proud is Liu Taibao? How could he surrender! But His Majesty King Xiao Ming is safe and sound. I am convinced of your benevolence and righteousness. But I am not convinced." What's more, how can you forgive such a capricious villain like Li Siqi?"

Feng Guoyong said with a smile: "If you ask me this, I will also ask you, how long have you been under Li Siqi's command? Are all Li Siqi's subordinates insane and should be beheaded? What standard should be used to weigh?"

Feng Guoyong took a deep breath, "The land of the Central Plains is full of ten rooms and nine empties! Except for those animals who followed the Yuan court and committed heinous crimes, we will kill them, and those who have repentance and are willing to belong to Ming Dynasty, we will let them accept reformation , if you can change your mind, you will naturally have the opportunity to be a new man! If you just blindly kill, how long will you have to fight?"

The man was speechless for a while, lowered his head, thought over and over again, nodded and said: "I understand! Commander Feng Dadu, let me see Li Siqi! I belong to the Northern Expedition Army on the West Road. People like me are not as good as Li Siqi's men. No, we are willing to surrender to Daming!"

Chapter 554 We want to go home

Feng Guoyong heard that the other party reported his family name, and it turned out to be the Northern Expedition West Route Army, so he said: "Speaking of which, Commander Fu Youde is also a general of the Northern Expedition Army. He is now under my command. I don't know your name, can you tell me a little bit?" .”

The other party was stunned for a long time before saying: "My name is Li Xixi. Even though I was somewhat famous, I surrendered to Li Siqi and became a lackey of the Yuan court. I have already lost my old face. Governor Feng doesn't need to worry about it."

How could Feng Guoyong not care about it!

This Li Xixi, whom Fu Youde often talks about, is one of Liu Futong's mighty generals.

At first Li Wu and Cui De entered Guanzhong first, then Li Xixi led troops to rescue, Fu Youde and other people were only assigned to Li Xixi as subordinates.

Later they were ambushed and suffered heavy losses. Li Xixi fled into Bashu with Fu Youde.

According to the original history, Li Xixi would seek refuge with Chen Youliang, and Fu Youde later surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang and became the hero of Lao Zhu.

At this point, however, history has gone awry.

On the way to defect to Chen Youliang, Li Xixi accidentally heard about Zhu Yuanzhang's movements, and also got an article, talking about the three rises of China, with conclusive words, saying that China must win, and all people must win.

An article made Li Xixi's heart agitated, and it was very unpleasant.

Obviously they played the banner of the Northern Expedition, and the three-way army swallowed mountains and rivers with anger.

Now that I am fleeing in embarrassment, it is extremely miserable. Is it possible that when the Northern Expedition is mentioned in the future, it depends on Zhu Yuanzhang?

The more Li Xixi thought about it, the more grief and indignation became. Since Huaxia must win, then we also have a chance!

After thinking about it in every possible way, Li Xixi, who was unwilling to give up, secretly returned to Bashu with a hundred and eighty confidantes, and then sneaked back to Guanzhong after crossing mountains and mountains.

He also wanted to contact the old department and deal with the Yuan army.

It was just tossing around for a while, although I had ambushed the Yuan army a few times and won a few small victories, but in the end I was unable to turn the situation around, and most of my brothers also lost.

Li Xixi had no choice but to give up. It seemed that they were not the ones who could really destroy the Yuan Dynasty in the Northern Expedition.

In order to survive, Li Xixi joined his enemy Li Siqi, and just lived under Li Siqi's hands in a daze.

Maybe he didn't expect that one day, when the Ming army entered Guanzhong, he would be captured by the Ming army.

Turning around, he was under the Ming army again... If I had known this, I might as well have surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang in the first place!

Li Xixi was silent for a while, and suddenly took out a piece of yellowed paper from his bosom, which was densely packed with many words... Li Xixi said to Feng Guoyong: "Commander Feng, can you tell me no... Is it true what it says?"

Feng Guoyong took a few glances, and immediately said: "Of course it is true. The person who wrote this article was Zhang Xianggong, the supervisor who commanded the Northern Expedition this time. He is not only the Prime Minister of my Ming Dynasty, but also the teacher of the Son of Heaven and all officials. The teacher is also the teacher of our generals. Over the years, we have also adhered to Zhang Xiang's ideas, equalizing the land, establishing schools, restraining the powerful, treating women well, developing business, and reorganizing the army... General Li is interested, so you can take a good look at it. You will know the truth in time!"

Li Xixi nodded again and again, with tears in her eyes, "It's really good! It's really good! Then, I'm relieved!"

After finishing speaking, Li Xixi turned to leave. Feng Guoyong had someone prepare a horse for him and gave him a pack of dry food. After Li Xixi thanked him, he got on the horse and galloped straight to Fengxiang.

After Feng Guoyong saw him leave, he also sighed in his heart... Although the Northern Expeditionary Army failed, it did not completely disappear.They fought against the Yuan army for years, constantly dealing with each other.

Many people were captured and became part of the Yuan army.

But these people still have such a vigor, as long as they can be successfully aroused, it will not be difficult to disintegrate Li Siqi's subordinates.

Although Liu Futong failed, his legacy still survives.

Zhang Xiang advocated affirming Liu Futong's achievements, and now it seems that it is really reasonable.

Feng Guoyong couldn't bear to let Li Xixi take risks by himself, so he immediately selected a group of captives and asked them to return immediately to tell other brothers about the situation of the Ming army.

Clearly inform them that as long as they are willing to surrender, their safety can be guaranteed.

In addition, Feng Guoyong arranged for someone to visit Li Siqi with his letter.

Tell him that Tongguan is a natural danger, you dare not defend it, and Huazhou is an important place, you will lose it within a day.

The trend of the times, confronting Daming is a dead end.

You are a Han Chinese, how can you expect Yuan Ting to really trust you?

Instead of fighting alone and hitting stones with eggs, it is better to surrender early and avoid killing, which is also to accumulate virtue for yourself, and you can still save your life, otherwise death will be imminent.

Feng Guo used a tough tone and mainly threatened, but he also left room.

Both soft and hard, all kinds of means are used together.

Next, let's see how Li Siqi chooses?

Feng Guoyong told his generals to rectify the troops and don't surpass Huazhou for the time being. If Li Siqi doesn't know how to flatter him, he will launch an offensive immediately.

It can be said that Feng Guoyong has already made all preparations... Li Xixi also rushed to Fengxiang City.

He looked up at the banner, and then at the soldiers guarding the city.

Li Xixi plucked up his courage and shouted towards the top of the wall, "My name is Li Xixi! If there are any of you who know me, you might as well stand up! I just met Commander Feng of the Ming Army!"

"Stop fighting, surrender! Only by surrendering to Daming will you have a way to survive!"

Li Xixi yelled continuously towards the top of the wall.

Li Xixi's fame was not only among the Northern Expeditionary Army, but many of Li Siqi's subordinates had also heard of it.

The former enemy of life and death, later surrendered to Li Siqi, and now he has become a lobbyist for the Ming army, is it really interesting?

No one spoke, just listened silently.

After a while, two generals went to the city. They passed through the crenel and looked down. Three people, six pairs of eyes, got together.

The two people who came were Li Wu and Cui De.

They were all former commanders of the Northern Expedition Army. After successive defeats, they retreated to Ningxia to try to protect themselves.

As a result, Li Siqi and Zhang Liangbi jointly suppressed and killed him, and had to surrender to Li Siqi.

"Li Pingzhang took us in and didn't slaughter us. We should be grateful and serve Pingzhang. How do you have the face to join Daming?" Li Wu angrily scolded.

Li Xixi held his head high and said loudly: "I don't regret my life alone. Li Pingzhang thinks I deserve to die, so he can take my head away now! Just let me have a few words with my brothers!"

Li Xixi said loudly: "Listen everyone, Liu Taibao's Red Scarf Army started from Henan. Li Pingzhang also started from Henan. One side is to overthrow the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the other is to protect the Great Yuan Dynasty. Both sides come and go, killing more than a dozen Years, countless casualties, and rivers of blood! Why is this?"

"In the final analysis, most of us are from the same village, and we are all brothers and sisters. What's the point of killing like this?"

"I've already asked. Our hometown has already allocated acres of land. Daming sent a lot of people to prepare for the establishment of a village community. They took the lead and led the big guys to work, tidy up the land, and cultivate the fields... The flood is gone, and there is enough food. You can live a peaceful life again!"

Li Xixi tried his best to prove what he said, so he reached out and lifted the package up for everyone to see.

"See, it's all white flour buns! Go home, after a few years of home work, you can eat white flour buns every day!"

Li Xixi's shout spread to the top of the city.

Looking at those soldiers again, many of them were already in tears.

The big guys looked around, and it was true.

The biggest irony in the world is that the main force of the Red Turban Army comes from Henan, and the main forces to suppress the Red Turban Army, Chahan Timur and Li Siqi, are also from Henan.

More than ten years of war turned out to be a cannibalism between fellow villagers.

What is even more speechless is that the big guy has been killing for so many years, and no problem has been solved. Instead, the Central Plains has been left empty, causing countless deaths and injuries.

In the end, I have to rely on the people of Huaixi to save me, so I am ashamed and not ashamed!

"Brothers, stop fighting and go home quickly!"

Li Xixi kept yelling, and at this moment, a voice suddenly came, "Are you all dead? Someone dares to disturb my army's morale, kill him! Shoot him to death!"

Li Siqi rushed over angrily and yelled loudly.

The soldiers at the head of the city were taken aback for a moment, but they didn't dare to disobey the order.

Someone raised a bow and arrow and shot towards Li Xixi.

Although it was archery, the big guys had a tacit understanding. They were either weak or swayed to the west, but Li Xixi was unscathed.

Now Li Siqi was furious, "Okay! You are all going to rebel!"

Li Siqi turned his head and said to his confidant: "You guys, kill that nonsense thing for me!"

This group of people immediately took orders, and they all drew their bows, ready to shoot Li Xixi with random arrows.

But at this moment, hundreds of captives hurried over, and they rushed to Li Xixi's side.

"The Ming army is now in Huazhou, and has not yet marched westward. Let us come back and persuade the big guys to surrender!"

"Yeah! Stop fighting, the Ming army has already promised that they will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Put down your weapons, you can share the fields, and live a good life!"

……

These captives were not all the old troops of the Northern Expeditionary Army. Among them, many of Li Siqi's subordinates stood up and shouted together.

On the top of the city, people's hearts are floating, and everyone is thinking about it.

When they attacked Shanzhou, they fought continuously for several days. Not only did they not make any progress, but they lost troops and generals.From that time on, they knew how powerful the Ming army was.

Recently, there have been various news coming in, knowing that the Ming army treated the soldiers well.

Generals are not allowed to bully soldiers, soldiers can still read and write.

Once joining the army, the whole family will be honored.

From my hometown in Henan, there are also constant news.

One letter after another, telling about the changes in their hometown, and persuading them to abandon the dark and turn to the bright.

At this point in the matter, Li Siqi's subordinates are also full of emotions and have many ideas... If it weren't for this, Li Siqi would not have retreated to Fengxiang and tried to resist.

But now, Li Siqi is not sure.

At this moment, suddenly there was a quarrel under Li Siqi's feet, and then the city gate suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man ran out from inside.

While running, he yelled, "I want to go home!"

Li Siqi was furious, "Shoot, shoot him to death!"

His confidant was about to strike, but Li Wu and Cui De pulled out their weapons together and aimed at Li Siqi!

"What? You want to rebel too?"

The two looked at each other, and fell to their knees together, "Pingzhang, we know that you care about the soldiers, please be merciful! Let the big guy go home alive!"
