Zhu Hongsan was stunned when he heard Li Chengdong say this. He didn't expect that this four-family slave could still be interested in him. You must know that in history, Li Chengdong slaughtered Guangzhou. Although he finally surrendered to King Gui Zhu Youlang, his crimes of killing hundreds of thousands of civilians were recorded in the history books.

"King Jianning, why are you interested in me?"

"Your Majesty, I was born into a bandit and had a lifetime of military service with Gao Jie and Gao Brother. I know the difficulty of raising troops and training troops. But today I see Your Majesty's Guangdong army as strong as a hand-wielding arm, and it is very brave, and I admire it very much!"

When Zhu Hongsan heard Li Chengdong flattering here, he laughed and said, "King Jianning, I originally thought you should be a generous man, but I didn't expect you to learn to flatter like those stinky old ninths!"

Li Chengdong's old face turned red and cursed in his heart, "I'll flatter you for being forced by you." If I hadn't had enough strength in my hands, that would have flattered you, the foolish monarch."

Although Li Chengdong's flattery was not successful, Zhu Hongsan was in a good mood. He looked at the cavalry around him and said to Li Chengdong: "King Jianning, are these your cavalry? It's really good!"

When the emperor asked about his capital, Li Chengdong looked proud. After all, these people were his capital. Most of the 30,000 cavalrymen were his fellow villagers in Shaanxi, and they were also the essence of Gao Jie's team back then.

"Your Majesty, most of these people are subordinates of Brother Gao back then. After Brother Gao's accident, these brothers followed me!"

Zhu Hongsan likes these people the more he sees. His Guangdong New Army is all infantry, so cavalry has become a problem in Zhu Hongsan. However, cavalry is not something that everyone can play. This kind of army cannot be played without a long-term investment of more than ten years. The kind of soldiers who have only learned riding for a few months can only be considered a fast infantry, and are far from real cavalry. In this era, only the Mongols can be considered a perfect cavalry. Even the Manchus, who are less than ten thousand and invincible, are not considered a real cavalry. The Manchus can only be considered a fishing and hunting nation. Their archery and melee fighting are indeed very powerful, but there is still a certain gap between them and the Mongols in this era.

Zhu Hongsan got Jin Shengheng tens of thousands of horses in Ganzhou. He originally wanted to form his own cavalry team, but it was really hard to find a cavalry teacher. The southern garrisons did not have a cavalry organization, so naturally there were no cavalry teachers. The navy could still find some talents, but there was no cavalry.

Now Zhu Hongsan is happy to see Li Chengdong's 30,000 troops. These are all veterans. These Killers have been following Gao Jie for more than ten years and have rich cavalry combat experience. They are the best candidates to form a cavalry division.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the cavalry on the horse, and was happy and said to Li Chengdong: "King Jianning, your soldiers are very strong. I am going to form three cavalry divisions based on them. What do you think?"

Li Chengdong, a division battalion, had seen it in Qian Yong's army. He knew that the three cavalry divisions had 45,000 people, and there were 60,000 to 70,000 people in the logistics. Of course, it would be good to hand these people over to Li Chengdong for command, but what Li Chengdong was afraid of was that Zhu Hongsan took the opportunity to deprive him of his military power.

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he found that Li Chengdong had no response for a long time, so he turned his face and asked, "What? Does King Jianning have any suggestions?"

Li Chengdong was angry. This bastard emperor would deprive him of his military power as soon as he met. If he hadn't had the strength of his current situation, he would have wanted to kill this foolish monarch with one knife.

"Your Majesty, my old brothers have been following me for many years and don't know what etiquette is. I am afraid that they will not accept the discipline, so I'd better let me discipline them!"

Zhu Hongsan's meaning just now was to let Li Chengdong take charge of the general. Unexpectedly, this guy was worried that he would deprive him of military power and said such words. Zhu Hongsan was very unhappy, but who was Zhu Hongsan, even if he hated him, he would be able to live up to his face.

"Haha, King Jianning, I just said that of course you will be in charge of your soldiers! Zhang Huangyan ordered to give each of the soldiers of King Jianning ten silver dollars. King Jianning rescued the emperor in time and rewarded the prince's salary with 100,000 silver dollars. Generals at all levels shall be reported by King Jianning, and the Military Affairs Office shall reward them at the discretion of the discretion of the military!"

When Li Chengdong heard that the emperor was no longer worried about his military issues and gave him money to his official position, he was happy and quickly bowed and thanked the emperor for his reward.

Zhu Hongsan went back to the camp after a walk. After all, he fought with the Qing army all night last night, and now he has to go back to have a sleep. After Li Chengdong sent the emperor away, he pulled his son to ask about the situation just now.

"Boy Yuan, you are so confused. Why don't you tell me about you and go to see the emperor?"

"Father, I want to pay tribute to the emperor, after all, he is the princess's father!"

"What did he say when you went to meet the emperor? Didn't you make things difficult for you?"

When Li Yuanyin heard his father's question, he thought of the situation in the camp just now and stammered: "No... nothing, the emperor will ask the princess about it!"

Although Li Yuanyin is not Li Chengdong's biological son, Li Chengdong has raised him for more than ten years. When Li Chengdong saw Li Yuanyin's appearance, he knew that things were different from what he said.

"Fuck, I don't know you yet? Tell the truth!"

After being forced to death by his father, Li Yuanyin had to tell Li Chengdong about the news that Wang Xian had just entered the camp, as well as his answers with the emperor in the big tent, and all the details were told to Li Chengdong.

When Li Chengdong heard the emperor's bad expression on his son, he cursed angrily: "I knew that this bastard emperor was not kind-hearted. You cowardly, we man killed his wife in Guangzhou. Do you dare to see him by yourself?"

When Li Yuanyin heard Li Chengdong scold him in Shaanxi dialect, he knew that his father was really angry.

"But father, aren't we all right? Didn't the emperor's imperial edict say that we would be exempted from all our crimes?"

"You know, he is the emperor, so he can naturally say anything! He used to beg us to say anything, but now he is strong enough to let us go?"

"But...what should we do in the future?"

Li Chengdong gritted his teeth and whispered: "The tyrant king wanted my cavalry just now. He really didn't know that the world was high and the earth was rich. If the capital was gone, wouldn't he let him go to fish? It seems that Emperor Shenwu is not here for a long time. After occupying Nanjing, I and the emperor asked for an order. Let's go back to Yangzhou. At that time, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. What will be reasonable for our father and son!"

When Li Yuanyin heard Li Chengdong's words, he was going to be a rebellious boy again. He was anxious that his wife and children were still in Fujian.

"Father, but the princess is still in Fujian!"

When Li Chengdong heard that Li Yuanyin was still in love with his children at this time, he cursed angrily: "You coward, save your life first, what my wife doesn't have!"

When Li Yuanyin saw his father getting angry, he did not dare to object, but he secretly vowed in his heart that he would bring his wife with him no matter what.

At this time, Li Chengdong's cavalry had already driven the Qing army apart. The defeated Qing army fled to Nanjing. However, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, the governor of the seven provinces of the Qing Dynasty, Hong Chengchou, could not escape. In the melee just now, one of his legs was cut by the Ming army. Hong Chengchou is now in his fifties, and his days of fighting have exhausted his energy. In addition, the knife on his leg has caused him to lose half his life.

At this time, Hong Chengchou had only Ma Degong and less than ten personal soldiers to protect him. Hong Chengchou looked around and sighed and said, "I think I, Hong Xiangjiu, was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli. He served as the Minister of War and the Governor of Ji Liao. Except for the defeat of Song Jin outside the pass, he fought hundreds of big battles in his life and countless small battles, and he did not succeed. I didn't expect that he would be defeated so miserably today!"

Ma Degong looked at the surroundings of no Ming army pursuers, and then comforted Hong Chengchou and said, "Sir, I really didn't expect the Ming army to be so capable. Last night, the Ming army was basically not used much, but just fighting with our army. I really didn't expect that I could not defeat them!"

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that this Ming army's combat effectiveness was no less than that of the Han army flag, and its firearm was sharp. I was negligent. I began to think that they could be easily destroyed. Now it seems that if we fight head-on with these Ming army, we must have more than ten times the strength of the troops!"

"Sir, I will protect you back to Nanjing. We will take advantage of Nanjing Jiancheng to wait for the reinforcements of the Regent!"

Hong Chengchou shook his head with a wry smile: "No, it's too late. It's less than twenty miles away from Nanjing. In addition, the troops around Nanjing have been transferred away by me. There are still troops guarding the city. Now we can only cross the river and return to Yangzhou to see if we can defend Yangzhou!"

"Okay, I will protect you from Yangzhou!"

Hong Chengchou grabbed Ma Degong and said, "Master Ma, please leave quickly! I have surrendered once and I am considered a traitor. I don't want to be a fickle villain who will join the Ming Dynasty again. So I'm sorry, Lord Ma gives me a knife, and then you can run away!"

When Ma Degong heard Hong Chengchou say this, he knew that he was going to commit suicide. He didn't care whether Hong Chengchou died or not, but Ma Degong himself wanted to survive.

As the general of Yangzhou, Ma Degong brought 20,000 cavalry, which was originally a strategic mobile unit, but was transferred by Hong Chengchou and left it in Nanzhili. If Ma Degong escaped and returned to Yangzhou, Dorgon could let him go? So he must take Hong Chengchou away too. At least the sky collapsed, with Hong Chengchou, the governor of the seven provinces, taking over.

"Sir, I will stay in the mountains without worrying about burning firewood. As long as I can live, I will have the opportunity to make a comeback. Let's go back to Yangzhou with me!"

"No, my official's legs are broken and I can't walk anymore. You guys can't go!"

Seeing that Hong Chengchou's literati was sour and corrupt, Ma Degong looked at the personal soldiers around him with a look. The people around him came up and tied Hong Chengchou's injured leg with cloth strips. One of them carried Hong Chengchou and left.

Hong Chengchou didn't want to die either. He just acted like this. It would be ugly if he ran back by himself, so it would be much easier. If he wanted to die, his personal soldiers would not allow him to let him go. Although everyone knows what was going on, he can still save face with a layer of fig leaf. So Hong Chengchou lay on the back of his personal soldiers and pretended to be dead, regardless of it.
