Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 536 Never kill a person in vain

The two emperors met, one in the city and the other in the city. Zhu Yousong persuaded Li Zicheng to surrender. Li Zicheng threw out such a condition, so that the people present did not expect that Huiying, Huimei and other five people would react in such a way.

For a moment, tens of thousands of eyes looked at Zhu Yousong, as if he was the only arbiter of this world at this time.

Zhu Yousong smiled calmly, asked the kneeling people to get up first, and then said to Li Zicheng: "I won't say whether I can accept your condition, but I want you to understand one thing first. The former took Luoyang, and it didn't exceed three months before and after." God, it took only five days for me to storm Tongguan. Xijing is now an isolated city. There are 13 troops outside the city, hundreds of cannons, and only [-] soldiers in the city. "

Zhu Yousong was using this method to tell Li Zicheng that he was not qualified to negotiate terms with him. He was fully capable of using cannons to open the way, forcibly attacking the city, and took Xijing in one go. Of course Li Zicheng could hear this, and it was indisputable. fact.

But of course Li Zicheng would not show weakness, the chick was still on his legs before he died, not to mention that Li Zicheng still has [-] troops and a capital city?Back then, he didn't even admit defeat when he counted only [-] riders left. At least the situation in front of him was much better than then.

So Li Zicheng turned his lips away, showing disdain, "Stop talking nonsense, there is only one condition for me to surrender, can I accept it?"

Zhu Yousong said seriously: "Of course I will not agree, let alone kill these five, even ordinary soldiers, I will not kill one in vain. The current situation must be clear to you, and I don't have to talk to you at all. Any conditions, directly mobilize all forces to attack the city. But today I gave you the opportunity to negotiate conditions, why? There are two reasons: First, I think you Li Zicheng is a character, I love talents, and I can't bear to complain Reciprocity, but regardless of the past, the state affairs and the sufferings of the people in the city are the most important. The second point is also the most important point. I am looking at the face of these lovers. Huimei is now my Concubine Ai is not only skilled in martial arts, but also gentle and virtuous. Huiying Zhang Nai Shuangxi and Song Xiance, whether literary or military, are all talents who are loyal and brave to protect. I can get the talents of these generals. Of course you, Li Zicheng, have contributed a lot. Thank you Your husband and wife gave away several outstanding children and gave them to me. If you think that their abandonment of the dark and the bright is regarded as disloyalty, then I want to give them a chance to be filial piety, so that heroes, loyalty and filial piety can have both. Therefore, today Only then did I make the biggest concession, let the past go, and allow you to surrender the city and reuse it. This is not how open-minded I am. Changed my mind."

What Zhu Yousong said in these words is soft and hard, hard and soft, country and country, iron and blood pride, all are there.Huiying, Huimei, Zhang Nai, Shuangxi, and Song Xiance were moved, and she wished she could die to serve her Majesty right now.

Before Li Zicheng could speak, Niu Jinxing lost his temper.He saw that what Zhu Yousong said was not bad. If he really put aside this condition and stormed the city with all his strength, I am afraid that Xi'an City would not be able to hold for a few days.

Suddenly, he rolled his eyes, thought about it, and said in a low voice beside Li Zicheng: "Your Majesty, don't draw the bow too full. You can negotiate surrender and submit to them, and lure them into the city."

Li Zicheng was smart enough, he was not the kind of stubborn bull who hit the south wall and never looked back, otherwise he and Zhang Xianzhong would not have surrendered to Emperor Chongzhen when the momentum was wrong, and then turned back.

Niu Jinxing's two words pointed out that he had another clever plan.So he pulled the words back again, his face calmed down, "It's rare that His Majesty Daming is so chivalrous and benevolent. He loves both the country and the beauties. He has both iron bones and pride. I admire Li Zicheng. Li can take back the conditions, You can offer the city to surrender. But there are many details that need to be sat down and discussed in detail, and this is not the place to discuss matters. Li has the courage to invite His Majesty to the city to discuss the matter of offering the city in detail. I wonder what His Majesty's intentions are?"

Zhu Yousong blinked his eyes when he heard this, Li Zicheng's attitude changed, he agreed to offer the city to surrender, is it true?

Because Li Zicheng in history surrendered to Emperor Chongzhen, and then found time to betray him, Zhu Yousong, who knew him very well, had to draw a question mark in his heart at this time.

I didn't expect this Li Zicheng to change so quickly. Just now, he gritted his teeth and put forward a condition, asking me to kill these people who betrayed him, and then he surrendered the city. Now when he said these words, his attitude changed , the only condition is gone, I sincerely invite myself to the city to talk to him about the surrender of the city, I am afraid there will be some articles here.

However, if he wanted to reject him and appear as cowardly in front of tens of thousands of generals on both sides, someone would definitely label him as unnecessary, such as using the belly of a villain to measure the heart of a gentleman.

If Li Zicheng sincerely offered the city to surrender, and he didn't even have the courage to enter the city to negotiate, wouldn't he be underestimated by Li Zicheng and others, and spread to be ridiculed by the world.

Forget it, isn't it peace talks?Is this more dangerous than the Chongqing negotiations in later generations?I'll just go, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch a tiger's cub, I want to see what kind of tricks Li Zicheng is playing?If there is fraud in it, I don't mind turning Xijing upside down!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong generously agreed, "Okay, I'm sure I saw the right person. General Li is a hero who understands current affairs. I will definitely go to the city within three days to discuss the surrender of the city in detail."

"Okay, it's hard to chase after a gentleman's words. Your majesty is really a cheerful person. Li is waiting for your majesty's golden body in the city." After Li Zicheng finished speaking, he arched his hands to Zhu Yousong who was under the city, as a salute, and then he and Niu Jinxing, Gao Guiying Waiting for the people to turn around and disappear at the battlements.

Zhu Yousong had no choice but to send an order to withdraw the troops. On the way back to the company camp, Li Quan, Ma Jinhua, He Xuanjiao, Zhang Huan, Ma Wannian, etc. all confirmed whether His Majesty would really enter the city to negotiate with Li Zicheng within three days?

Zhu Yousong smiled indifferently, "Of course, I have a golden eloquence. When I wait for tens of thousands of soldiers in the world, what I say is like splashing water. How can I go back on my word and say nothing?"

"But Your Majesty, it's too dangerous. I can't go there. Li Zicheng obviously has no good intentions. If he surrenders, he surrenders. What kind of peace talks are needed? The drunkard's intention is not to drink. There must be conspiracy and tricks in it. It will be easy to enter the city at that time. I'm afraid It will be difficult to get out of the city!" All the soldiers shook their heads in unanimous opposition.

Zhu Yousong's twisting force came up. Others generally can't change his decisions, just like when he only took two beautiful bodyguards to go deep into the enemy's rear to spy on the military situation, he turned his face down: "Don't bother!" I’ve said it, I’ve made up my mind.”

Others knew that they couldn't persuade him, and they didn't dare to speak too much, but they knew that His Majesty still obeyed Song Xiance's words, and urged Song Xiance to persuade him when he returned to the camp.

After Song Xiance met Zhu Yousong, he bowed and said: "Since Your Majesty has decided to go to the city to have peace talks with Li Zicheng, I dare not talk too much, but Your Majesty should bring more people in case something happens. Escort into the city."

"It's useless to bring more troops, but people will ridicule them. I only bring Huiying, Huimei, and Zhang Nai Shuangxi, who are familiar with the situation in the city, are enough. After I leave, the secretary of camp affairs will take care of me. When you come back, you can give me the order to attack the city with all your strength."
