Da Ming started to ascend the throne

No matter which dynasty you are in, no matter how outstanding your strength is, once a siege occurs, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

It can be said that every city that was captured was bought with the blood and lives of the soldiers.

How could Li Yan and his wife know,

Historically, Yan Yingyuan led the people of Jiangyin to fight against the 10,000+ army captive in the East.

In the end, the three princes and 7 generals of the Eastern Captives were beheaded, and more than [-] Eastern Captives and puppet troops were wiped out. In the end, the whole city was killed in battle, and only fifty or so people survived.

After Yan Yingyuan threw the flintlock gun to his subordinates, he looked at Du Zhizhi who looked like a dead dog, and ordered:

"Come here, send this person to the capital and hand it over to the emperor, and his personal soldiers will execute the law on the spot."

"Yes"

After Yan Yingyuan dealt with Du Zhizhi, he began to post notices of Anmin.

He also asked people to use all the gold and silver collected from Du Zhizhi, about 15 taels, to sell grain to help the people in the city.

And Li Yan sent an order to gather all the soldiers who surrendered at Juyongguan, and he wanted to give a lecture.

Soon all the surrendered troops at Juyongguan were assembled. More than 3000 soldiers, nearly 1000 died in battle, and all the rest surrendered, and there were only more than 2000 rebels.

These soldiers of the Ming Dynasty followed Du Zhizhi to surrender to the bandits, and now they all surrendered to the Ming Dynasty again. They felt very contradictory and regretful.

Of course, for ordinary soldiers, they have no ability to fight, and they can't decide anything, unless they commit suicide and die for the country, which is not something everyone can do.

Seeing the majestic Ming army in front of him.

The rebels felt unreal, their equipment was too good, and their soldiers were full of energy, unlike the previous Ming army.

And they can only lower their heads, waiting for the result of their own treatment with guilt, maybe disbanded, maybe all beheaded.

Li Yan and Hong Niangzi walked up to these soldiers who had betrayed Daming.

Behind the two were ten women soldiers and ten black armored iron knight soldiers, which not only had beautiful scenery, but also gave people enough shock to have a strong psychological shock to the rebels.

Li Yan's majestic eyes quickly swept over these rebels, and then began to lecture:

"You were all soldiers of my Ming Dynasty, but you betrayed your own country and relatives, and followed Du Zhizhi to surrender to Li Zicheng.

Now there are refugees everywhere, and the country is in severe division. Today, Zi Shengming decided to redistribute the fields, and the military pay was also paid on time, and there was an increase on the original basis.

The emperor knew that you did not betray the imperial court voluntarily, so he decided to pardon your capital crimes. If you still want to continue to serve the country, you can stay.

Of course, if you don't want to fight everywhere, you can also dismiss and return to the fields, and the court will never force you.

But

Absolutely must not harass the people, break the law and discipline.

Absolutely can not go back to the old business, and then become a traitor.

Once discovered, it will not be tolerated, and the whole family will kill the three clans.

Now I will give you half a stick of incense time to think about it. After the half stick of incense, I want to know your answer. "

As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, the commander standing at the front took a step forward and knelt down on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, his forehead was bloody and bloody.

I saw that the circles of his eyes were red, and he tried not to let the tears fall:

"General, we didn't think about it. We were soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but we followed the wrong general. Now the villain has decided to continue to be loyal to the country. Thank you, Emperor Longen, and thank you, General, for not killing me."

"Yes, don't think about it. We are willing to be loyal to Daming. It is the dead eunuch who harmed us. We will definitely behave ourselves and be a qualified soldier of Ming Dynasty. We are willing to fight to the death for Daming. Please accept us..."

Like falling dominoes, led by the commander, more than 2000 soldiers all knelt in front of Li Yan and his wife.

Yan Yingyuan, who came to the scene afterwards, couldn't help but have red eyes when he saw this scene. Whoever said that my Ming soldiers were weak and selfish was just because they didn't meet a good general.

Like Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army, all of them died in battle and no one surrendered to captivity.

Mrs. Li Yanhong was also touched, and Li Yan raised her hand to let everyone stand up:

"Soldiers, hurry up. Since you are willing to turn back, I will accept you on behalf of today's emperor. From today onwards, Juyongguan will be handed over to you. I hope you will do what you say."

All the rebels kowtowed again and again to express their gratitude to Li Yan and the court:

"Thank you, General. We are willing to live and die with Juyongguan, and we will be locked up with people."

During this period of time, the surrendered soldiers of Ming Dynasty who had a little bit of conscience suffered a lot in their hearts. As soldiers, they did not fight for the divided Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, under the order of the capitulation faction, the great eunuch Du Zhizhi, they kept oppressing and looting the people. Most of the soldiers could only knock out their teeth and swallow them.

Chapter 76

After all the soldiers stood up, Li Yan called the commander:

"What's your name, step forward and talk."

The commander hurriedly walked a few steps to Li Yan and bowed to salute:

"Report to the general, the villain Zhu Changfu, please give the general instructions."

Li Yan laughed loudly:

"That's right, it actually has the same surname as our sage, how could you turn against your own court back then?"

Zhu Changfu hastily bowed his head with guilt on his face:

"The villain deserves to die, please punish the general."

Li Yan knew that he couldn't help himself, so he stretched out his hand to support Zhu Changfu:

"Just kidding, don't worry. From today on, Zhu Changfu will temporarily act as the commander-in-chief of Juyongguan. You will be fully in charge of commanding these troops. You must keep a close eye on the gate of the capital."

"This...thank you for your trust, General, Zhu Changfu vowed to guard Juyongguan to the death."

Touched, Zhu Changfu was moved besides being moved at this time.

Zhu Changfu was the first to declare his allegiance to Daming. Of course, Li Yan wanted to use him again. At that time, Li Yan could see that he really wanted to return.

Li Yan did not have the right to appoint a general soldier.

Zhu Changfu is only a temporary agent, and when the court sends a new general, his appointment will end.

After Li Yan appointed Zhu Changfu, he realized that he did not ask Yan Yingyuan for his opinion.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Master Supervisor. I forgot to discuss with you just now. Li Yan is also leading troops for the first time. He has no experience in this field. I hope Master Supervisor will forgive me."
