For heroes, moral integrity is an extremely luxurious item. Not only Hou Dagou, but Li Zicheng was the same in the future. He could be weak and rebellious after he surrendered, and there was no psychological obstacle at all. When Ding Yishou Zheng Ang and the three thousand rebels and four hundred elite heroes annihilated, Hou Dagou discovered the problem very keenly, that is, Ding Rongcheng was not something he could deal with, at least in the present moment.

And Hou Dagou is not the kind of person who will exclaim "How could this happen!", he will not be like Zheng Ang. He feels unacceptable to this fact, and even thinks it is a illusion created by Ding Yi using magic. Hou Dagou accepted all this calmly, and he said to his subordinates: "Ding Rongcheng, Ding Wudi, who can defeat him? He couldn't defeat yesterday, and today can't fight, how can the Ming Dynasty resist?"

This is a very clear assessment of the power comparison between the enemy and us. When Hou Dagou used a plan to surround Shi Pu, Ding Yi could only send two regiments to block the response, use strategies, and special teams to carry out rescue. At that time, Ding Yi was obviously not as powerful as the rebels, but the rebels could not defeat Ding Yi at that time.

But today, he was obviously defeated. There were only dozens of rebels with three thousand old foundations and the four hundred elite heroes who ran back to Dateng Gorge. Ding Yi faced the ambush with less than two hundred people, and then broke out and returned. Then there were only more than a thousand reinforcements, which was enough to wipe out the more than three thousand elite soldiers of Hou Dagou.

"If you may be entrenched in the nine-story mountain, you can still fight each other, but if you are besieged by Ding Rongcheng, I will lose the other side. It will be a death." Hou Dagou thought it very carefully, because he thought it was terrible, not failure, nor the destruction of the three thousand old foundations. He didn't even care about his four hundred elite heroes. He felt that what was terrible was that Ding Yi's army was getting stronger and stronger and more well-equipped, and the rebel spies could not enter the territory controlled by Ding Yi!

How many military troops were lost was nothing for Hou Dagou. The rebel army had started from scratch, the key was harmony of people. The strengths of his superiority over the government were also an important reason why the government had no choice but to do anything to him in the past. Now it is irresistible and the people no longer support the rebel army. This situation did not happen until more than ten years later. Dante Yi's propaganda team, Ding Yi's job opportunities, and the construction of militia teams in various villages, made this situation come extremely quickly.

In other words, there was originally a reference object of the government army, which made the people feel that the rebel army was still tolerant and acceptable; after Dante arrived, the reference object became the First Division of the Ming Dynasty that abides by the discipline of the masses, and Hou Dagou's rebel army was obviously not as good as that. Their harm to the people was even constantly magnified in the speeches of the Workers' Propaganda Team. There was even a consensus among the people: the people of Guangxi were not having a good life, it was all Hou Dagou's fault! If Hou Dagou was killed, under the rule of Jingxibo, everyone could live like Huaiji County and Wuzhou Prefecture City. Just look at the situation in Teng County, you will understand that Ding Yi controlled and occupied not the county town, but the broad people's hearts, whether it was the county town or the countryside.

"Brother Hou sent a villain to marry his beloved daughter to Mr. Rongcheng." After seeing Liu Yiyi, the middle-aged man kowtowed very properly. "Madam, don't worry, if you enter the Ding family's door in the future, your wife is called Xiangdong, and the girl from the Hou family will never go west...Madam, if this matter can be accomplished, Brother Hou is willing to disband the rebel army and be taken over by Mr. Rongcheng, and only wants to live in seclusion in the nine-story mountain."

Accompanied by Liu Tie, eight Jianji, who are now the chief surgeons of the field hospital, stood on the left and right, with four guards with two revolvers hanging around their waists behind them. This made the visitor's visitor's words still inadequate, so Liu Yiyi seemed very calm. After listening to the visitor's words with a smile, she asked: "I am a woman, and my knowledge is insufficient. I don't understand what my master has benefited from this matter?"

The middle-aged man was about to speak when he saw Liu Yiyi reaching out to stop him: "In the world, the three words Ding Rongcheng are much louder than those of Mr. Hou. I once heard someone who is a good man say, "I have never seen Ding Rongcheng in my life, and I call myself a hero and laughter." I don't know that there are really these words in the world?"

The rogue man had to bow and say, "Yes, but my eldest brother Hou..."

Liu Yiyi reached out and stopped the other party's words: "In the Shilin, my master is a dignified Tanhua Lang; in the temple, my master is the third-rank left deputy censor, and a super-grade count of Guangxi, Yongzhen. Even when he went to the brothel Zhangtai fireworks site, the lyrics that Ding Rongcheng was sung were not one or a half songs. If he took a step back, his master was imitating Liu Yong of the previous dynasty and refused to sing in a low voice. If he wished to worship his daughter in the fireworks site, he would be like a crucian carp crossing the river. Is this wrong with my words?"

"Mrs. Just said it, just..."

Liu Yiyi shook her head: "Woman, Ding Rongcheng is not short of embrace; reputation has been passed down by the young man; official titles and holy relatives are not short of them. Even this Guangxi Chengxuan Political and Envoy Department teaches people to ask whether the people are willing to live under Ding Rongcheng or under Hou's ruler, I believe that the Lord knows the answer."

She paused and smiled and said, "Why does Mr. Hou think that my master would care about his daughter?"

"Madam, be careful, you should know that the Guangxi Chengxuan General Secretary, under the rule of Mr. Rongcheng, is only the place of the two governments! If the marriage is completed, the troops under the command of Brother Hou retreat to Dateng Gorge, then Mr. Rongcheng can bring Guangxi into the rule without bloodshed. In war, it is always a waste of people and money..." The middle-aged man was somewhat eloquent.

However, Liu Yiyi's words made him speechless: "If my husband cannot defeat Guangxi, will Mr. Hou still send his daughter as a concubine?" This sentence is of course cruel and poisonous, and it was stabbed incisively, but Liu Yiyi was still unhappy. "If you take a step back, I will nod my head, but my husband is a gentleman who keeps politeness. It will be inappropriate for such matters without the words of your elders. If you are willing, it will be better to go to the capital to ask for a sentence, and then you will talk about it again."

The middle-aged man stared at the sight of his eyes. Didn’t he say that Ding Rongcheng’s parents had died? Liu Tie kindly reminded him: “The Empress Dowager has long recognized his husband as his adopted son, but he doesn’t like to show off and never mentions him outside. The old lady in the Ministry of War Li’s mansion is also the Mr. Li’s adopted mother…” Mr. Li refers to Li Xian, who was promoted to the Right Minister of War.

"The villain can't make the decision, so I'll go back and tell Brother Hou and ask him to decide." The middle-aged man replied with a wry smile, kowtowed again, and sighed that Liu Tie sent it out. Liu Yiyi's words blocked the road. Although she didn't say the words "I am not a good match", the person who could be divided by Hou Dagou was not a fool, so how could he not understand it?

Ask him to go to the Forbidden City to find the Empress Dowager to give me a message? Isn't this a big deal? If you can enter the Forbidden City, Hou Dagou would better defeat the entire Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the Forbidden City, even Li Xian's mansion, you're afraid that even the Li Xian's mansion will not be able to enter. Hou Dagou's people are now locked in Pingle and Wuzhou by Ding Yi. Unless they have been trapped in Yunnan and Guizhou, it is almost impossible to sneak out regardless of water or land. The militia and old men and women in those villages are staring at each other. They can get at least one tael of silver when they catch a spy in the rebel period. If they are verified, they can get ten taels of silver. Such a leader can get twenty taels of silver.

Ding Rongcheng has excellent reputation. Everyone who gets it receives rewards. It is extremely difficult to sneak out of Guangxi by land at this time. If it is on the water route, the rebel naval army has never been the opponent of the Neijiang naval forces under Ding Rongcheng. Every time a ship passes by, it is basically impossible.

If it weren't for this, Hou Dagou wouldn't have been forced to marry a daughter.

Ding Yi came home and listened to this matter, but he smiled and said, "Yiyi is dealing with this matter properly." Marrying a thief with Hou Dagou? Unless Ding Yi was crazy, how could he agree? No matter how lustful he was, he would not even think about taking Hou Dagou's daughter as his concubine, right?

A few days later, Teng County reported that 3,000 Hou Dagou's troops wanted to sneak attack the county town, but when they passed by the village, some villagers reported to the militia team. So before they had been to the county town, the 201st Regiment had sent two battalions out and set up an ambush halfway. Hundreds of grenades were thrown down, and the rebels immediately exploded the rebels sobbed. Then, with the charge, the soldiers of the two battalions went on bayonets and killed them down the mountain, and the rebels collapsed.

According to the captives, they wanted to teach Ding Yi a lesson, but who would have thought that they would be taught a lesson by the 201st troop first.

The middle-aged man who talked about marrying a daughter came again two days later. This time the condition was to give his daughter to Ding Yi as his concubine, and then he only asked Ding Yi to protect his son from death. Hou Dagou and other rebel leaders were willing to tie him up and surrender. Liu Yiyi knew the severity of this matter, so she did not make any decisions on her own and sent someone to report to Ding Yi to know.

Ding Yi came over to see the young man. After hearing his words, he replied to him: "After November, there must be no Hou Dagou's troops appear in the territory of Guilin Prefecture and Liuzhou Prefecture. It will not be too late to talk about this after the Lantern Festival, otherwise there will be no sincerity. The students would rather take advantage of their troops and horses to get them!"
