Chapter 671
The appearance of Emperor Chongzhen crushed the rebel camp as if the last straw had been dropped.

I saw some rebel soldiers put down their weapons and surrendered on their knees; some rebel soldiers surrounded their big and small chieftains with knives and guns, and some of the unlucky chieftains were even killed. He was caught on the spot and was being sent to the court cavalry.

The emergence of this situation made the officers and soldiers on top of Kunming City dumbfounded: How much prestige does the emperor have, and it turned out that the rebels turned to the light as soon as he arrived?

Seeing that there were still many chieftains leading the troops who were also in turmoil and trying to escape, Qin Liangyu was the first to react and immediately issued a military order: "Quick, get out of the city to meet the emperor and intercept the rebels who want to escape!"

At this time, she issued the military order directly without asking Wu Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan, and Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qian, for instructions.When her son Ma Xianglin heard this, he also replied without hesitation: "I obey!"

Then, he immediately greeted the white pole army, and quickly went out of the city to meet the emperor.

When Long Zaitian saw him, he didn't say a word, and left in a hurry, taking his men and rushing out of the city.

But Wang Yangzu left in a hurry after a little hesitation.At this time, compared with Kunming City, the emperor is of course the most important.What's more, now it seems that Kunming City will basically be fine.

Seeing this, Wu Zhaoyuan felt a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it.I'm afraid that the emperor will be dissatisfied with him if he finds out.

But Mu Tianbo had a wry smile on his face. Looking at Qin Liangyu, and then at the backs of Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu who were already at the top of the city, he couldn't help laughing at himself: I always thought that Qin Liangyu was nothing more than Qin Liangyu who had been guarding Yunnan for generations. , Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu are the chieftains of Yunnan. In their minds, the Duke of Guizhou should exist like a local emperor, right?

I really didn't expect that once the real emperor arrived, the local emperor would be worthless at all!I don't know if the dead father would be so arrogant and unscrupulous if he knew about this situation, he would even go to patrol the palace with soldiers.Thanks to Grandma Grandma's decisiveness, otherwise, the Duke of Qian's Mansion would have been gone long ago.

While he was thinking, the officers and soldiers in Kunming City had already swarmed out of the city.Although the number is smaller than that of the rebels outside the city, the morale has reached its peak since the war.Instead, he rushed to the rebels outside the city, surrounded them, and blocked their way.

Seeing the officers and soldiers in Kunming City coming to block the road, the rebels who wanted to escape became even more panicked.Some quickly chose other directions to run; others wanted to rush over; however, the rebels at this time had no morale and were not in a fighting state at all. Many soldiers who were hesitating were even blocked when they saw the way forward. To resist, it means either laying down arms and surrendering, or defecting in the face of battle, abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side.

At this time, outside the city of Kunming, there were no serious battles. There were rebel soldiers who surrendered or surrendered everywhere, and the imperial court officers and soldiers watched everywhere.The whole situation is completely one-sided.

Until this time, Qin Liangyu laughed loudly from above the city of Kunming, then clasped his fists and said to Wu Zhaoyuan and Mu Tianbo, "Lord Zhongcheng, Duke, it's time for us to meet the emperor!"

Although a bit chaotic, the situation is manageable.Wu Zhaoyuan, a civil official, hadn't answered yet, but Mu Tianbo said first: "Yes, yes, it's time to meet the emperor, go, go!"

After finishing speaking, he was the first to turn around, almost going down the city at the speed of running.

This scene made Wu Zhaoyuan very surprised.During his tenure as the governor of Yunnan, he had a lot of dealings with the Duke of Guizhou, and he could clearly feel that Mu Tianbo was actually not interested in him as the representative of the imperial court.Now this attitude has suddenly changed. Could it be that he was frightened by the emperor's Longwei?
Thinking of this, he immediately followed quickly, to ensure that he would not lag behind others to meet the emperor, he still had the awareness of this.

Wu Zhaoyuan was right in thinking. After Mu Tianbo saw the domineering aura of the real emperor with his own eyes, because of those careful thoughts and contempt towards the court in the past, he paid more attention to the emperor's side, eager to please, so as to save a Good influence.

Not long after, through the chaotic "battlefield", Wu Zhaoyuan and Mu Tianbo lined up at the front, and although Qin Liangyu was a body behind them, he was ahead of Long Zaitian, Wang Yangzu, and Ma Xianglin, and saluted Emperor Chongzhen in unison .

"Your Majesty, no courtesy!" Emperor Chongzhen, surrounded by the royal guards, said to them with a smile, "Stick to Kunming, you all have worked hard!"

Hearing that the emperor seemed to be easy to speak, he encouraged them as soon as he opened his mouth. Everyone's hearts warmed up, and they immediately raised their heads to look at the emperor in humility.

Wu Zhaoyuan was a Jinshi in the Wanli period, and he came to Yunnan in the eighth year of Chongzhen.In his memory, Emperor Chongzhen was always frowning, and his brows had never been stretched, let alone a time when Emperor Chongzhen had smiled.

But at this moment, it seemed that Emperor Chongzhen had changed completely.Sunshine, majesty, even with a smile but people dare not disrespect, this is the best state of a real superior, right?

The changes in Emperor Chongzhen made Wu Zhaoyuan a little dazed.The impression of the former Emperor Chongzhen gradually became blurred.

But when Mu Tianbo saw the current Emperor Chongzhen, he felt emotional in his heart: If his father had met the current emperor, he would never have such arrogance and disrespect towards the court.No matter who it is, seeing the emperor is so wise and mighty, it would be strange for anyone to be stupid again!

Among them, Qin Liangyu was also someone who had met Emperor Chongzhen, and was very moved when he saw the great changes in Emperor Chongzhen.The former young emperor finally grew into a real emperor in the midst of many disasters in Ming Dynasty!
Like Mu Tianbo, Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu had never met Emperor Chongzhen before, and they were secretly glad that they were on the side of the imperial court.

Their impression of Emperor Chongzhen was actually fleeting, and soon Qin Liangyu played first: "The main force of the rebel army left Kunming two days ago, did your majesty not meet you?"

When the others heard this, they all nodded slightly, looking at Emperor Chongzhen, their hearts were just like what Qin Liangyu said.After all, there are more than 20 rebels, not comparable to the [-] rebels left outside Kunming.Although they are still a little puzzled, they don't know why the [-] rebels collapsed so quickly!

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "The main force of the rebel army has already been decided in one battle. Look over there..."

After hearing this, Qin Liangyu and others looked in the direction pointed by the emperor, only to see a row of heads of Ming soldiers hanging from their spears.At the same time, I heard Emperor Chongzhen introduce them: "Those are the heads of some of the rebel chieftains. There are also those who were tied up and detained..."

After hearing this, Qin Liangyu and others looked in the direction pointed by Emperor Chongzhen again, and they saw again that several people were tied up and guarded by Ming army officers and soldiers.

They don't even need to look closely, they can see at a glance that several of them are from Xiyi.For these Xiyi, they are not unfamiliar at all. When they were bombarded by these Xiyi before, they hated it so much.Unexpectedly, he was caught by the emperor now.

"...Those are the Folangji who are helping the rebels!" Emperor Chongzhen introduced them again, "And that one is Tai Taitun, the general of Dongwu's army."

Even the generals of the Dongwu command army were captured alive. It goes without saying that the main force of the rebel army is indeed determined in one battle.

However, Kunming City probably knew in advance how many reinforcements the imperial court had come this time, because they wanted to prepare food and grass here.As a result, Qin Liangyu and the others, who were used to leading troops to fight, were even more puzzled.

I heard Qin Liangyu immediately play to Emperor Chongzhen: "The main force of the rebel army is more than [-], what strategy will your Majesty use to decide the battle?"

What she said was not to doubt Emperor Chongzhen, but to ask Emperor Chongzhen for advice sincerely.This can be seen from her curious and sincere face.

Hearing his words, the other leaders were also very curious.Laymen don't know, but they fought as leaders and fought against these rebels for so long, so they know how difficult it is to fight.

Also, just outside the city of Kunming, they saw with their own eyes that the rebel army collapsed not long after thousands of court cavalry approached the [-] rebel army.They couldn't imagine it, could it really only be attributed to the domineering aura of the current emperor, the prestige of the true son of heaven?
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said: "There is actually no difficulty in this. If you fight head-on, my army is invincible in the world. In addition, I focus on attacking the heart. Most of the ordinary soldiers in the rebel army are The serfs who rebelled against the chieftain, I will distribute the land of the rebellious chieftain to those serfs, so that they will no longer be oppressed by the chieftain, and they will be exempted from tax for two years. Naturally they will make the right choice!"

Hearing this, they directly ignored the first half of Emperor Chongzhen's sentence, saying that the imperial army was invincible, but their attention was attracted by the second half of Emperor Chongzhen's sentence.

The generosity of the chieftain of the rebellion was used to stir up the hearts of the rebel army. The emperor's hand did not cost the court anything at all, and directly cut off the root of the chieftain of the rebellion!
Feeling the power of this trick, Long Zaitian and Wang Yangzu's foreheads began to sweat.Because they found that if this trick was used on them, they had no way to guarantee that the serfs under them would not do what the rebels did.

This means that the imperial court really has to use this trick. With such a major interest, as a chieftain, there is basically no room for resistance!
They were thinking about it, but Wu Zhaoyuan was the first to play: "Your Majesty is wise, I have lived for 75 years in vain, I never thought there would be such a way to deal with the chieftain!"
