Borrow the day to change the day

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he turned around, looked at Li Dingguo and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Li Dingguo didn't expect Zhong Jinwei to ask his opinion, so he was surprised.But he immediately said: "Let my adoptive father be your guard like us, he is very capable."

After all, Li Dingguo is still a child, and he speaks childishly.

Zhong Jinwei thought for a while, but shook his head and said, "No, I have other arrangements. But don't worry, I won't execute him."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Jinwei stopped talking, turned around, and entered the camp with his horse's belly.

He rushed back to the camp to deal with the leaders of the peasant army, including Zhang Xianzhong.

Not long after, the leaders of the Peasant Army were escorted into Zhong Jinwei's temporary tent.

On both sides of the tent stood brocade guards with embroidered spring knives, holding the handle majestically.

Zhong Jinwei sat on his seat, and Gu Baichuan and other Dongchang servants stood in the shape of an "eight" in front of the seat.

Behind Zhong Jinwei's seat is Zhong Jinwei's own entourage with swords, that is, Li Laosi and others.

When the leaders of the Peasant Army were brought in, their hands were still tied for safety reasons, but they were not cut back.

Seeing the posture in the tent, these people knew in their hearts that they might announce their end.

When they were on the road in the morning, after talking with Zhong Jinwei, they already had a good impression of this Zhongxing Hou.Therefore, in the tent, they were very cooperative, standing there quietly, waiting for the approval of Marquis Zhongxing.

Zhong Jinwei glanced at them, and then said: "I know that you have no choice but to become thieves. But the imperial court has its own laws, and you cannot be held accountable for your crimes because of love."

The leaders of the Peasant Army were already aware of their end, but they knew that Zhong Jinwei was a good official, and they didn't want to embarrass him.

Wang Jiayin was the eldest among them, and he took the lead and said: "Master Hou, we have embarked on this road, so we naturally know what the end will be. You don't have to be embarrassed, you can judge as you want."

Zhao Sheng, who was lighting the lamp, also nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, we've accepted everything. In the next life, we hope to meet a good official like Lord Hou soon, and we won't go down this path."

The others nodded one after another. Rebellion was not what they wanted, and the words of lighting the lamp expressed their aspirations.

The attitude of the leaders of the Peasant Army somewhat surprised Zhong Jinwei.He could see that they really hated those corrupt officials who forced them to go to Liangshan, as he had expected.

Zhong Jinwei pondered for a while, then said with a smile: "I haven't mentioned the punishment for you yet, why are you so pessimistic?"

Several leaders bowed their heads, including Zhang Xianzhong. When they heard Zhong Jinwei's words, they all raised their heads and looked at Zhong Jinwei, as if hearing a sound of heaven.

There is hope to live, who wants to die!

Zhang Xianzhong, in particular, was overjoyed when he heard Zhong Jinwei's words.He was just a small boss. From Zhongxing Hou's tone, if the big bosses in front of him could not die, then he would definitely not die.

"What I mean is that when you are gangsters, things happen for a reason and are justifiable. The law is nothing more than human feelings. But after all, you are gangster leaders. You can be punished with death, but you cannot escape with life. I plan to sentence you to exile." Zhong Jinwei Speak slowly, watching their expressions while speaking.

With Zhong Jinwei's confirmation, it was a surprise that they didn't have to die.Joy filled their faces.

The leaders of the peasant army looked at each other, Wang Jiayin was still the leader, knelt down, and said in unison: "Thank you Zhongxing Hou for not killing me."

Zhong Jinwei was a little speechless, they were so excited before he even said where he was going to be exiled.At first, when I watched them go to death one by one, I thought they were not afraid of death.

"Don't thank me first, I haven't even said where I will send you to exile." Zhong Jinwei leaned forward a little and said to them.

"Where Master Hou said to be exiled, there will be. I will be grateful to Lord Hou for his life." Gao Yingxiang was the first to speak this time.

Zhong Jinwei waved his hand to stop other people who wanted to speak, and then said: "I am going to exile you to Dongjiang Town in Liaodong."

There was a sudden silence in the tent, and the leaders of the peasant army looked at each other, wondering what the difference between this and death was.

Looking at their faces, Gu Baichuan knew that they were afraid, and felt a little contemptuous, so he said loudly: "A bunch of bastards, the Marquis of Zhongxing led [-] strong men to keep [-] Jian prisoners in the pass, and even captured the slave chief Aixinjueluo alive- Amin, what is there to be afraid of Jianlu!"

The leaders of the peasant army didn't know how powerful Jianlu was. It's just that the imperial army was always beaten to pieces by Jianlu, while the local army of the imperial court could beat them to death. Such a comparison shows that Jianlu is very powerful.

Another point is that Shaanxi is located in the hinterland, and the rumors about how powerful Jianlu were were exaggerated several times when they reached them.When some inland troops were transferred to the Northeast to fight against Jian captives, they were frightened because of the rumors, and some even deserted.

Now when they heard that this white and clean Lord Hou had achieved such a great record against Shang Jianlu, while admiring Zhong Jinwei, they also reduced their fear of Jianlu.

Liu Guoneng stood up first, and said loudly to Zhong Jinwei: "Instead of being beheaded with a knife, it is better to fight to the death on the Liaodong battlefield. It is not a waste of time to come to this world. Lord Hou, the sinners are willing to go, no complaints and no regrets."

Zhang Xianzhong was from the frontier army. As Li Dingguo said, he was capable and was not afraid of the Jian captives, so he stood up the second and expressed his willingness to go.

Seeing this, the other leaders also stood up one after another, expressing their willingness to go.They actually had no choice. Since Marquis Zhongxing had already mentioned the land of exile, he wouldn't give them a choice.Therefore, it is not as good as a bachelor, but it also appears to be courageous.

Zhong Jinwei nodded and said, "Okay, not bad."

After he praised him, he continued: "The person who captured Aixinjueluo-Amin alive is Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of Daming Prefecture. He has now been promoted to the governor of Denglai and is in charge of Dongjiang Town. I will make a copy of the book. The subordinates will not be treated differently. As long as they can make meritorious service, they will be promoted in the same way. Killing more Tartars for Daming can also be regarded as atonement for your sins and meritorious service. In addition, in Dongjiang Town, you can also use your expertise in guerrilla warfare in the past two years .”

What Zhong Jinwei said made the leaders of the peasant army happy again.According to what Hou Zhongxing said, they were actually taken care of. If they worked hard in Dongjiang Town and killed the enemy with all their heart, they might even be able to wear official clothes.Hou Zhongxing is giving them a bright future!The leaders of the peasant army changed from the situation of thieves to the status of officers and soldiers, and they were all beaming.

Zhong Jinwei sat up straight, leaned on the back of the chair, waved to them and said, "You go down first, and I will send you to Dongjiang Town after the arrangements are made. I hope you can all make contributions and live up to my expectations."

"Thank you, Lord Hou, I will definitely live up to Lord Hou's expectations." Wang Jiayin led all the leaders of the peasant army to kneel down again, and kowtowed to Zhong Jinwei while talking.

After they finished saluting, the Jin Yiwei at the door lifted the curtain and asked them to go back to the prison.

Just when Zhang Xianzhong wanted to go out, he was stopped by Zhong Jinwei. Under the strange eyes of the other leaders, Zhang Xianzhong was also puzzled, wondering what Zhongxinghou called him to do.

When only Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the peasant army, was left in the big tent, Zhong Jinwei said, "I have a request, and I need you to agree."

Zhong Jinwei gave himself a way out, Zhang Xianzhong was very grateful, so he replied: "Your Majesty has a life, sinners should serve their lives."

"Let your four adoptive sons restore their original surnames."

Zhang Xianzhong was stunned by Zhong Jinwei's request. No matter how he thought about it, he never expected Zhongxinghou to make such a request.

It took him a while to come back to his senses, and he couldn't understand Zhong Jinwei's intentions, so he asked, "Master Hou, what is this?"

"Because the glory originally belonged to their original surnames."

Zhong Jinwei's words made Zhang Xianzhong even more puzzled, feeling that Zhong Xinghou's words were so profound.

Zhong Jinwei's guards were also puzzled by his words, a little baffled.

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't understand the reason, but from Zhong Jinwei's words, he guessed that Zhong Jinwei had already found his four godsons.

He remembered Zhong Jinwei's worries about Li Dingguo at the Yellow River Ferry, and knowing that there must be a reason for Zhongxing Hou to make such a request, he nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong agreed, Zhong Jinwei asked a Jin Yiwei to take Zhang Xianzhong to meet the four little guys and explain the situation to them.

After Zhang Xianzhong went out, Jinyiwei Qianhu Xie Dong turned around and asked Zhong Jinwei: "Master Hou, is it useful to let these thieves kill Jianlu?"

Zhong Jinwei said with a smile: "They can become the leaders of the bandits, of course they have their abilities. No matter what, as long as they go to kill Jianlu, it will be good for the court. Isn't it?"

Xie Dong thought so, and was about to speak, when suddenly a messenger came in at the door to report: "Report to Lord Marquis, the dust is flying from the southwest, and there seems to be a large army coming."
