Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 317: Why didn’t you report to the authorities when you rebelled?
The name Qin Liangyu was something that people like Zhu Yuanzhang had never heard of.

But since they came into contact with Xu Shou and others later, they have also heard a lot about the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, Xu Shou is the only female general recorded in modern history and a remarkable woman who fought for the Ming Dynasty to the end. Naturally, she has been mentioned many times by Xu Shou.

Old Zhu and others were also deeply moved. They admired each other and hated Chongzhen for not fighting for it. All kinds of thoughts came from their hearts.

"What a great Qin Liangyu."

Old Zhu clapped his hands, stood up, and walked down the stairs with big strides. He held out his hand for support, looked her up and down, and exclaimed: "What a woman who is as good as a man, what a Qin Liangyu."

Qin Liangyu bowed her head slightly and said, "Emperor Taizu is too kind. I am only fulfilling my duty as a minister."

"good very good."

Old Zhu laughed heartily with satisfaction, and said to the old man and others: "These are the good sons and daughters of our Ming Dynasty. If all the people of our Ming Dynasty were like this, those barbarians would have been killed by us long ago without leaving a single piece of armor."

The old man also nodded in agreement. If he didn't know that the other party was married, had children and was still an old lady before her reincarnation, the old man would have wanted Zhu Zhanjun to accept this legendary female general.

"Qin Liangyu."

After Old Zhu and the old man and others had praised him for a while, Zhu Zhanjun walked up and shouted in a serious tone.

Qin Liangyu quickly bowed and saluted, "I am here."

Zhu Zhanjun looked at him solemnly and said, "I now appoint you as the commander of the Ming Phoenix Army. When we return to the second world, you can take up the post."

"I will definitely not fail your majesty's mission."

Qin Liangyu hurriedly made a solemn promise.

Zhu Zhanjun nodded in satisfaction, and after letting the other party stand up, he said, "The outside world is still in chaos. I will assign some people to you to guard the palace and other places. If there is any chaos, you don't need to report to me, you can directly suppress it."

Most of the harems are women, so it is indeed inappropriate to let men take care of them. Zhu Zhanjun was also thinking about whether he should let his elder brother-in-law, who seemed to be abstinent, to guard the harem. Now that he has Qin Liangyu, he doesn't have to worry about this matter.

After issuing an order to Qin Liangyu, he asked her to carry out the task.

"It's time for us to look at the protagonist of this chaos."

After watching Qin Liangyu leave, Old Zhu spoke hesitantly.

Everyone returned to their respective seats, and Old Zhu, regardless of Zhu Biao's depression, sat down on the throne.

Soon, there was the sound of chains and several people were dragged in.

In the front is Li Zicheng, whose legs and one arm were broken.

"Your Majesty!"

The soldiers didn't care whether their legs were broken or not. They just held down their shoulders and lifted their necks to make Li Zicheng and others kneel down.

The pain attacked the brain, causing Li Zicheng and others to frown and gasp in shock.

Old Zhu stood up from the throne, walked down the steps step by step, and came to Li Zicheng, who was in unbearable pain but still stood firm.

"Are you guilty?"

Hearing this question, Li Zicheng slowly looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha... I know I'm guilty."

"Sir, before asking this question, shouldn't you ask Chongzhen whether he knows his crime?"

Lao Zhu's face suddenly turned cold.

Li Zicheng seemed to have given up and continued: "I was originally a small postman, I could have enough food and clothing, and I thought that this was how I would live my life."

"But Chongzhen kid, he cut off even my little hope. Half of the post stations were closed, and the one I was in was one of them."

"The post station hasn't paid me for two years. My whole family is starving. I was trying to get some food at the post station to support my family, but that was completely ruined."

"All kinds of exorbitant taxes and levies have been imposed on ordinary people like us."

"In the year of the great disaster, the fields were barren, and there was no green at all for thousands of miles. It was all red and yellow, and bones were piled up everywhere. Have you ever seen such a scene? Do you understand the sorrow behind it?"

Li Zicheng looked up at Zhu and asked with disdain.

In his opinion, this man was dressed in luxurious clothes and had an extraordinary aura. He definitely did not come from an ordinary family and must be the son of a noble.

Among the noble children nowadays, how many have ever suffered?

He had even seen more than once that the children of nobles actually disliked the mixed flour steamed buns because they were not tasty and said they were not something for human consumption.

As Lao Zhu was being questioned, the cold sweat on his face gradually disappeared and he fell into deep memories.

After a long while, he finally said slowly, "Not only have I seen what you said, I have also experienced it myself."

"More than half of my family members starved to death. My second brother and I were homeless, became monks and beggars, and experienced all kinds of hardships."

"They exchanged their children for food, wives killed their husbands, husbands killed their wives, fathers killed their sons, and sons killed their mothers."

"Everything I've been through is more horrible than you know."

"puff!"

Li Zicheng laughed out loud, looking at the old Zhu who was lost in his memories sarcastically: "You were a monk and a beggar. Do you think you are Zhu Yuanzhang?"

"go to hell!"

Zhu Houzhao came up at some point and kicked Li Zicheng in the face, knocking out several of his teeth.

"What are you doing? If you have the guts, come at me and let my brother go." The few people who were being oppressed at the back were also very righteous. When they saw Li Zicheng being beaten, they all started shouting loudly.

"Shut them up..."

Zhu Houzhao pointed at a few people, then said to Li Zicheng who was being pulled up by the soldiers again: "Boy, open your eyes wide and raise your ears high. The person standing in front of you is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu."

"Hehehe... Emperor Hongwu."

Li Zicheng's eyes were full of contempt, and he said disdainfully: "If he is the Hongwu Emperor, I am still the Jade Emperor."

"you……"

Zhu Houzhao was about to take action when Old Zhu stopped him.

"I'll give you a chance. Order your forces to surrender. I'll make sure you die quickly and leave a trace of your bloodline."

Li Zicheng, who was mocking him, suddenly lost his smile. He looked up at Zhu and said coldly, "You are dreaming."

"Your Ming Dynasty is at the end of its rope. The people have lost their trust in you. I will do what the people want."

"Even if you kill me, so what? I still have my adopted son Li Guo. He is my eldest brother's child and has the same blood as me. Under my training, he has already become a wise leader."

"Just wait, he will avenge me and kick your Ming Dynasty into hell."

"Don't you want to cut me into pieces? Haha, come on, I'm waiting for you in the eighteen levels of hell."

"I deserve to die, and you Ming people with the surname Zhu don't even think about escaping."

"Look at your foolish emperor and your corrupt princes."

"Zhu Yuanzhang, did you see that? You wanted to prevent your descendants from starving, but you didn't expect that they would become the ones who dragged the Ming Dynasty into the abyss."

As Li Zicheng roared, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became colder and colder, and his hand unconsciously reached for the holster at his waist.

Just as he was about to pull it out, a hand pushed it back.

Old Zhu turned around angrily and was about to lose his temper when he saw clearly that the person who tried to stop him was Zhu Zhanjun.

Letting Old Zhu go back and calm down first, Zhu Zhanjun squatted down and looked at Li Zicheng and said, "Have you ever thought that if the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, would you be able to defeat the Later Jin people in the north?"

Li Zicheng snorted coldly: "What are these barbarians?"

"What if we add Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry and other border troops?"

Li Zicheng's expression changed slightly. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but finally closed it.

Although he is powerful and claims to have an army of one million, only he knows how many of them are capable of fighting.

Most of his men were rioters, and the only ones he could trust and have fighting ability were the brothers in the old camp and those who surrendered to the Ming army.

However, most of the troops who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty were local military households, and the real elite force of the Ming army was the border troops that blocked the repeated invasions of the Later Jin.

The Later Jin army was already very powerful, and there was even a claim that they were invincible with tens of thousands of soldiers.

If, together with the border troops with equally powerful combat capabilities, Li Zicheng thought about it and felt that with his own troops, the possibility of failure would be very high.

This is what he would think after being captured and defeated in battle, when his mind is clear. If he had captured Peking today and completely destroyed the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng would probably not have thought about these issues at all, given the reality. Even if someone raised them, he would have charged them with disturbing the morale of the army.

Thinking of the final result, Li Zicheng was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "We can't beat them, do you think you can beat them?"

Zhu Zhanjun smiled slightly: "Why not? Haven't you experienced it?"

These words reminded Li Zicheng of the horrific bombardment, the weapons that had continuously shot and killed his brothers, as well as the new fire charge and precise marksmanship.

"Write it. Being cut into pieces is really uncomfortable. Wei Zhongxian experienced this firsthand. I believe you have also heard about his end."

"If you really count them, you definitely cut as many as he did, maybe even a little more."

Zhu Zhanjun asked Li Zicheng for the order to surrender, a decision he made after much consideration.

There were indeed some people under Li Zicheng who deserved to die, but most of them were the Liu Ming who had nowhere to hide and the civilians who were implicated.

These people are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and they were displaced because of the Ming Dynasty. It would be best if we could persuade some of them to come back.

More importantly, the surrender letter written by Li Zicheng himself dealt a heavy blow to the Dashun Group.

As long as this letter of surrender is publicized, the morale of the Dashun Army will drop by at least half.

By then, Chongzhen will train the army well, and with the addition of food and seeds supplies from space, I believe it will be easy to deal with this army with half the morale.

Thinking about his future plans, Zhu Zhanjun felt helpless.

Although the power of the court led by Zhu Youxiao and others had begun to decline, it at least had a certain ability to recover and did not require much help from Zhu Zhanjun.

But on Chongzhen's side, except for some areas in the south, the north had been completely destroyed.

Coupled with the impact of the Little Ice Age, Zhu Zhanjun couldn't even imagine how much he would have to give to Chongzhen's world in the future.

"Lotus God, I hope that the next space upgrade will bring about an existence that changes all this."

After praying silently in his heart, Zhu Zhanjun looked at Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng closed his eyes, and after a long while he slowly spoke: "I hope you can do what you say, otherwise I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."

Zhu Zhanjun smiled and waved his hand. Zhu Qizhen personally held the small table with papers on it and came to Li Zicheng. He watched him writing the letter of persuasion with his left hand with difficulty.

ps: The second picture has been put in again, wait and see if it can be released.
