While Sun Kewang and Ai Nengqi were troubled by the current situation, Liu Wenxiu, who was captured by the Chinese army, felt at ease and relaxed. Although it was uncomfortable to be a prisoner, at least he did not have to face an unfavorable situation.
.Being a prisoner in the Chinese army was not bad at all. One person had a separate tent, and a veteran was hired from among the prisoners to serve Liu Wenxiu.
At this time, Liu Wenxiu's broken leg had also healed, but it still needed to recover slowly, but she could walk underground with a cane.
When it was time for dinner that day, Liu Wenxiu sent the veteran who was waiting on him to get the meal. He was lying on the bed and thinking about something. He only heard the sound of the curtain door and someone came in. Liu Wenxiu thought it was the veteran who had returned, so he did not get up.
, said: "You're back so soon! What's the dish today?"
I heard someone say: "You look so at ease. You are such a comfortable prisoner. I really want to be your captive for a few days."
Liu Wenxiu was startled, and quickly sat up from the bed. He saw a person standing in the tent. Although he was wearing the uniform of an officer of the Chinese Army, he looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who it was. He opened his mouth and said:
"You...you are..."
The man smiled and said: "Lao San, we have been separated for seven or eight years, and you don't even recognize me?"
Liu Wenxiu's body trembled and she said, "Second brother, is it really you?" He stood up from the bed.
Li Dingguo took two steps forward, supported him, and said, "Don't move, your feet are not healed yet."
Liu Wenxiu grabbed Li Dingguo, her voice choked, and said: "Second brother, it turns out it's really you. We haven't seen each other for almost eight years."
Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi are all orphans. They were adopted as adopted sons by Zhang Xianzhong when they were more than ten years old. The brothers have been together for more than ten years. Their relationship is indeed comparable to that of their own flesh and blood, and although Sun Kewang is the eldest
, but he is quite a sinister person and his mind is not open-minded, while Li Dingguo is much more generous, so
As for Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi did have a stronger impression of him than Sun Kewang, and now that they suddenly met here, he was naturally very excited. After saying that, he looked Li Dingguo up and down again and said, "We have heard this all these years.
It turns out that it is true that you are with the Chinese Army. I heard that you are doing well there."
Li Dingguo smiled and said: "It's not bad. I've been asking for news about you in the past few years, but I didn't expect you to hide in Yunnan."
Liu Wenxiu looked at Li Dingguo again and said, "Second brother, have you been here all along, or have you just arrived."
Li Dingguo said: "Of course I just arrived. I was originally stationed in Nanyang, and I came to Yunnan only after receiving orders from King Jingbei."
Li Dingguo did indeed follow Shang Yi's order and came to Yunnan to do the work of persuading the Western Army to surrender. Because Shang Yi knew that although in another time and space, Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang turned against each other in the end, such a situation has not happened now.
, Li Dingguo still has a very close relationship with Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and others, so it is very appropriate to send him to pay the responsibility and persuade the Western Army to surrender.
Although he failed in persuading Wu Sangui to surrender in Sichuan, Shang Yi still did not intend to give up his plan to peacefully resolve Yunnan. After all, if he succeeded in persuading Wu Sangui to surrender, he could save a lot of trouble and save a lot of money, food, supplies, manpower, and material resources. After all, the south was pacified.
After that, the next step will be the north, and the whole country will also
Restoration and reconstruction, as well as expansion to the sea, all require money. What you can save is worth it. Of course, persuading surrender can provide favorable conditions, but you must never give in on issues of principle. If you really can't negotiate, then you can
It can only be solved by force. Shang Yi does not put all his hopes in peace talks.
Of course, Li Dingguo was very willing to take over this job, because after seeing his brother whom he hadn't seen for seven or eight years, he suddenly received news. Li Dingguo was also very excited. Although the brothers had some disagreements together in the past, it is inevitable that there will be quarrels between brothers.
Li Dingguo was originally a very generous person, so he didn't take it to heart.
, and the current situation has become very clear. It is a definite matter for Shang Yi to seize the world and ascend the throne to establish a dynasty. Therefore, if the brothers can be persuaded to submit to the Chinese army, it will not only find a way for the old brothers in the past.
There is a glorious way out, and the brothers can be reunited again as they become vassals under one roof.
Moreover, Li Dingguo was also very confident in persuading Sun Kewang and others to surrender. Firstly, the general trend was the current trend and the people's will. The Daxi Army could not be the opponent of the Chinese Army at all. Secondly, the conditions offered by Shang Yi to Sun Kewang and others were indeed good.
Li Dingguo also believed that such conditions were generous. If Sun Kewang and others were still unwilling to surrender, Li Dingguo would indeed have nothing to say.
After arriving in Guizhou, Li Dingguo met Luo Yuanbin first. After knowing the history of the war some time ago, Li Dingguo became more confident. After only one battle, he was beaten like this by the Chinese army. What else could Sun Kewang and others rely on?
As long as there are steps, you should be able to come down smoothly. So Li Dingguo immediately came to Liu Wenxiu.
The brothers had not seen each other for several years. When they met again, they were naturally very excited. They each briefly recounted what happened after they parted, and then the topic naturally led to this battle.
Li Dingguo said: "You guys are too confused. What is the Yongli court like? The emperor is incompetent and the ministers are fighting for power and profit. They don't care about the political situation, don't want to make progress, and just muddle along. What future do you have if you join such a court? Dashun back then
The remnants of the army, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others also defected to the Yongli court in the early years, but in the end they all surrendered to our Chinese army. What else do you want to protect them from?"
Liu Wenxiu smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not hiding it from my second brother. We can't stay in Yunnan forever. We always have to come out. At first, we thought that the Ming Dynasty was still orthodox, and Shang Yi was probably similar to us, but
It occupies a good place, has greater power, and the Yongli court is also close to us, so..."
Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "After staying in Yunnan for a few years, I thought it was right to come here, but I didn't know what it was like outside now. The Ming Dynasty has long since run out and can no longer recover.
Furthermore, if the emperor and general Xiang Ning have the right to do so, should the old Zhu family belong to the world if it is difficult? If the old Zhu family does not do well and loses the country, why not replace it if it is difficult? The King of Jingbei is Yingming Shenwu.
, with great talent and strategy, he is still the Ming Dynasty master of the world. Even Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu are not as good as him. The Chinese Army he founded has been invincible and invincible since its establishment. Even millions of Qing troops are no match.
Not to mention you. Moreover, in this world, the King of Jingbei has occupied ten percent of the throne. Sooner or later, Xu will accomplish his great cause and ascend the throne to establish a dynasty. If you don't go to such a wise master, who else do you want to go to?"
Now Li Dingguo's words also said that Liu Wenxiu was convinced because he had just fought a battle, so he nodded and said: "Second brother, what you said is indeed right. We have only heard that the Chinese army is powerful before.
But after fighting against each other, I realized that the weapons were sharp and the soldiers were brave. They were indeed ten times more powerful than what they heard."
Li Dingguo smiled and said: "What does this battle with you mean? We have fought many big, bad, and bloody battles with the Qing army in the past few years. Your battle can only be considered okay at best, and
Weapons are secondary, King Jingbei used troops
, one is that he is elusive, unpredictable, and hard to guard against. You are lucky that he did not personally take action in this battle, otherwise Yunnan would have been faster. I am not bragging. I will tell you about the previous battles when I have time.
Listen, you already knew."
Although Liu Wenxiu didn't believe it, he didn't dare to argue with Li Dingguo at this time and said: "Second brother, if we are willing to surrender, can King Jingbei take us in?"
Li Dingguo waited for his words and immediately said: "Of course, otherwise why did King Jingbei send me here? He just hopes that you can surrender and peacefully resolve Yunnan, so that the people of Yunnan will not suffer from the sword, and we will also
Soldiers on both sides suffered fewer casualties
.And it’s not too late. As long as the Chinese army has not invaded Yunnan, it is not too late. Everything can be discussed." After a pause, he took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Liu Wenxiu, and said: "As long as the Chinese army has not invaded Yunnan, it is not too late.
If you are willing to surrender, King Jingbei can give you these conditions."
Liu Wenxiu hurriedly took it and looked at it carefully. In fact, Shang Yi's conditions for the Daxi Army were similar to Wu Sangui's. They also allowed them to form their own army, with the establishment of three divisions, and the personnel and officers could be appointed by themselves. Of course,
There are some differences in details. The military ranks of Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi are all the same.
As a major general, Sun Kewang served as the army commander, Liu Wenxiu served as the army chief of staff, and Ai Nengqi served as the deputy army commander. However, the three divisions established were selected by each of the three, etc. Li Dingguo also explained to Liu Wenxiu the details of the Chinese army.
The military rank system and establishment situation also allowed Liu Wenxiu to understand what kind of official position Shang Yi gave him.
In other words, each of the three people is in charge of a division, and the three divisions form an army. Although Sun Kewang is the commander of the army in name, the actual power and status of the three people are the same. In fact, this
It was Shang Yi who arranged this intentionally, because he knew that Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi were not completely of the same mind and had conflicts, which caused the three of them to get involved with each other.
Of course, in the eyes of Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, there is nothing wrong with this arrangement, because now in the Daxi Army, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi are originally on equal terms, and Sun Kewang is only the leader in name, so Shang Yi
Such an arrangement is nothing more than copying the three giant republican powers in the Great Western Army to the Chinese Army, and for Liu Wenxiu, it also protects his interests.
After reading it, Li Dingguo said: "Lao San, what do you think?"
Liu Wenxiu said: "From my point of view, there is no problem. I am also sure about the fourth child, but I am not sure about the eldest brother. You also know the eldest brother's personality. He has a deep heart and no one can guess it."
Li Dingguo nodded and said: "I also know the personality of the eldest brother, and what you said is right. Let's do this. It's not convenient for me to see the eldest brother right now. I will let you go back in two days. When you meet the eldest brother, you should tell him first.
