Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

Li Laiheng returned to the Chinese army camp angrily, told the generals about Zhang Huangyan's coming to appease, and finally added,
"I thought this Zhang Huangyan was a cool guy. I didn't expect him to put on airs like other officials. I asked him to come in and he wouldn't come in."

Li Guo and the other generals all laughed.

Gu Junen said with a smile,

"Little Tiger, you made a mistake this time. The reason why Zhang Huangyan didn't enter the camp with you was not to put on airs. It was because he came here this time not to form an alliance with us, but to recruit security.

He wants to show us before recruiting security that the imperial court is the main priority and the army is the auxiliary. "

Li Laiheng said in a low voice,
"Why can't we serve as the court's assistant?"

Gu Junen no longer paid attention to Li Laiheng, but looked at Li Guo and said,

"General Zhi, we can pay respects to Zhang Huangyan, but what kind of etiquette should the empress pay respects to Zhang Huangyan?"

Although King Li Chuang had been dead for several months, Chuang Jun still called Gao Guiying the empress.

Li Guo pondered for a moment, then said generously,

"Let my aunt stay in the camp first. Let's go see Zhang Huangyan. See if this person is sincerely asking for peace?"

Gu Junen said,
"Alright!"

Zhang Huangyan waited outside the camp for nearly half an hour, and finally saw Li Guo leading a large group of generals coming over.

Walking a foot away from Zhang Huangyan, Li Guo led a group of invading generals to kneel down on one knee and said loudly,

"I met Governor Zhang."

Zhang Huangyan got off his horse, walked up to Li Guo, and said with a smile,

"Earlier I heard that a Tiger's Might was famous all over the world, and seeing it today, it really deserves its reputation."

Li Guo is tall and mighty, his face is sharp like a knife, with sharp edges and corners, he looks like a mighty fighter.

Faced with Zhang Huangyan's praise, Li Guo was self-effacing and did not dare to take it.

"Well deserved!"

Zhang Huangyan waved his hand and stopped Li Guo's words,
"General Li, you don't need to be too polite. From now on, you and I will be ministers in the same palace."

Seeing Zhang Huangyan's enthusiasm, Li Guo was relieved, at least he was much better than He Tengjiao, a dog official who would send troops to attack every now and then.

After Li Guo led Zhang Huangyan back to the camp of the Chinese army, Zhang Huangyan walked to the main seat, straightened his face, took out an imperial decree from his arms, and said loudly,

"Li Guogao is waiting for the order!"

The Chuangjun general quickly fell to his knees.

Zhang Huangyan read aloud,

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: I heard that Li Guogao and others are all heroes of the Northwest. Although they have the evil of entering the capital and trapping the emperor, they also have the merit of saving the crisis and helping the difficult.

Hundreds of thousands of Shun troops fought thousands of miles and killed more than ten thousand captives. They can be called a great army of hundreds of battles.

When the country is in trouble, think of good generals.

Now that the country is in dire straits and the northern captives are powerful, it is time for the heroes to show off their heroes.

I specially conferred Li Guo as Marquis of Xingguo, Gao Yigong as Marquis of Xunyang, and Yuan Zongdi as..."

This time, King Lu was not unreasonably generous. He sealed up five marquises and more than a dozen earls in one breath.

After Zhang Huangyan finished reading, the Chuangjun general thanked him loudly.

These generals saw the sincerity of the court from these rewards, so they decided to serve the court wholeheartedly.

After Zhang Huangyan finished reading the imperial decree, he looked at Li Guo and asked,

"Where is Mrs. Gao? I still have an imperial edict here, which is specially issued to Mrs. Gao."

Li Guo winked at Li Laiheng.Li Laiheng hurried to the back camp and invited Gao Guiying out.

After Li Zicheng's death, Gao Guiying took off her phoenix crown and Xiapei, and put on ordinary clothes.

Gao Guiying is only in her thirties, but she is a beautiful woman who can overwhelm the country and the city.

Seeing Gao Guiying coming to the tent, all the generals in the camp looked at Zhang Huangyan, wanting to see how he wanted Mrs. Gao to meet him.

Although King Chuang is dead, she is still the empress in the hearts of all the generals in the camp.

Gao Yigong is Gao Guiying's younger brother, and Li Guo is Gao Guiying's nephew.They absolutely cannot tolerate Gao Guiying being bullied or insulted.

What the Chuangjun general didn't expect was that before Gao Guiying saluted Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Huangyan stepped forward, shook his sleeves with both hands, saluted with a long bow, and said loudly,

"Zhang Huangyan, a senior supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, pays his respects to Mrs. Gao."

Zhang Huangyan played this trick really well.

You must know that although the Shun Army at this time has hundreds of thousands of people, they are remnants and defeated generals, and He Tengjiao and his like even regard them as rogues.

However, Zhang Huangyan paid a visit to Gao Guiying with the status of a master's degree supervisor, and his sincerity was self-evident.

He used his actions to show that he did not discriminate against Chuangjun, and he completely tied his political future with Chuangjun, so naturally there was no such thing as Chongzhen's account after Qiuhou.

Li Guogao, Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi and others were all shocked when they saw Zhang Huangyan salute Gao Guiying as a bachelor.

Gao Guiying was also a little shocked.She thought she was going to kneel down to see Zhang Huangyan, but Zhang Huangyan took the lead to salute her instead.

Gao Guiying came back to her senses, got up and gave a little blessing: "Master Zhang, you are very polite. I am just a woman, I can't afford such a big gift."

Zhang Huangyan once again took out an imperial decree, and read aloud, "Your Majesty has a decree to specially confer Mrs. Gao as a first-class lady of Zhenyi. From now on, not only will you not worship an official, but you can also pay respects to your Majesty."

Mrs. Gao was greatly shocked, and hurriedly bowed again, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Li Guogao saluted with one knee, and said loudly, "From now on, the last general is willing to die for Daming. If there is any disagreement, heaven and man will kill together!"

In the large tent of the Chinese army, hundreds of generals, big and small, looked at each other, and they also knelt down in unison, shouting loudly,

"Willing to die for Daming!"

Only then did Zhang Huangyan let out a sigh of relief.He knew that he had conquered the hearts of these brave generals.

In mid-June of 1645 AD, Zhang Huangyan rode to Xiangxi alone and persuaded Li Guogao to lead 40 troops.

Zhang Huangyan reorganized the 40 Chuangjun into the Zhongzhen Battalion, with Li Guogao as the leader of Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang as the commanders of the five parties, each leading 8 people.

When King Lu learned that Zhang Huangyan had fulfilled his mission, he couldn't help crying with joy in the Shaoxing mansion.

With the addition of 40 Chuangjun, the reputation of the Longwu regime was greatly shaken.For a time, all the anti-Qing forces in the world raised the banner of the Longwu court.

Even Zheng Zhilong from Fujian took the initiative to send envoys to Shaoxing to invite Zhu Yihai to Fuzhou.

Zhu Yihai declined Zheng Zhilong's invitation.

Besides, Duoduo, Prince of Yu, captured Jinling City and captured Emperor Hongguang. Because he couldn't stand the hot weather in the south, he had rushed back to Beijing with some troops to escape the summer heat.

Today's Jiangnan is dominated by Prince Duanzhong Boluo, supplemented by Nikanlek Dehun.

Boluo led tens of thousands of horses and was sweeping the Songjiang area.

Li Chengdong led [-] descendants and just completed the first massacre outside Jiading City.

Knowing that the Chuangjun had joined the Longwu court, Boluo smiled disdainfully,
"A group of cowards who have lost their courage, not to mention only 40, even if there are 4, as soon as our Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty arrive, they will be completely defeated immediately."
