(0682) After thinking about it, Xu Xingxia said cautiously: "If it is possible, you still have to find a way to get in touch with Cao Wenzhao, Ai Wannian, Cao Bianjiao and others." You are a native of Liaodong and are familiar with the local situation, if you have your guidance, they may be able to get started faster. ”

Huang Degong nodded in agreement. He also knows Cao Wenzhao's martial arts. The name of General Cao, he has also heard people talk about it. Listening to Xu Xingxia's tone, Cao Wenzhao should have taken refuge under the command of the white-clothed army and was ready to serve Xu Xingxia. This made Huang Degong a little uncomfortable, and at the same time a little comforting. Defection to the White Clothes Army and defection to Jianguo are two completely different concepts. He can accept the former, but he will never accept the latter.

The Jingshi, where the Ming Dynasty was located, had been controlled by the white-clothed army. If there is no accident, in the next few years, Jiangnan will also fall into the pocket of the White Army. In other words, the Ming Dynasty will be completely destroyed, and the time will come for a change of dynasty. From this point of view, it no longer makes sense to continue to dwell on the life and death of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Xingxia waved his hand, and then people let Huang Degong loosen his ties and let him go back. Huang Degong didn't say anything, and turned around and left. Since Xu Xingxia promised to give him weapons and equipment, there will naturally be officials below to do it, and he doesn't need to worry. What he needs to do now is to make full preparations for returning to Liaodong. He couldn't let Xu Xingxia look down on himself.

Zhang Tianhao looked at Huang Degong's back, and said with some doubts: "My lord, this Huang Degong, after going back to Liaodong, can he really succeed?" ”

Xu Xingxia said lightly: "Dead horses should be treated as live horse doctors." ”

Zhang Tianhao frowned and said, "If Guangning Mansion falls, we will only have Ningyuan City to block Jianyu's attack." With the fall of Quang Ninh Province, the Horqin tribe of the Mongols and the Jianyu were completely linked, and I am afraid that it will be a little unfavorable for our future march! ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and said indifferently: "Yes, we can't let Jianyu easily control Guangning Mansion, we must find a way to make a little trouble for them." Order Chi Hu to immediately speed up the march and rush to Ningyuan City as soon as possible to set up defenses! ”

…… The small episode of Baoding Mansion did not affect Xu Xingxia's southward journey. Five days later, the group arrived at the edge of the Yellow River. At this time, the Yellow River has no water source, it is in a state of semi-cut, most of the riverbed is bare, and you can directly ride a horse to cross the Yellow River and set foot on the land of Henan.

"Your Excellency!"

"Chairman!"

Greetings came and went.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, a large number of high-ranking white-clothed soldiers gathered. Seeing Xu Xingxia's arrival, they came up to salute and greet Xu Xingxia's arrival. Xia Kewu, the commander of the Dragoons, Zhang Yi, the commander of the Vulture Cavalry, and others all came to the edge of the Yellow River to welcome Xu Xingxia's arrival. Also arriving were the directors of the committees of various provinces in Henan Province. Basically, all the military and political dignitaries of the white-clothed army in Henan Province came to the Yellow River.

The white-clothed army was in the Central Plains region and had almost no opponents. All the officers and soldiers were destroyed and crushed at the first touch. Even in some areas, the white-clothed army has not yet arrived, and the local poor people can't wait to organize themselves to drive away the local government and local tyrants and inferior gentry, and welcome the arrival of the white-clothed army. It can be seen that the social contradictions in the late Ming Dynasty had long reached an irreconcilable stage, and large-scale peasant uprisings were inevitable.

"You've done a great job." Xu Xingxia turned over and dismounted, clasping his fists and saluting everyone.

Surrounded by many military and political dignitaries, Xu Xingxia entered Kaifeng City. At this time, Kaifeng City was already full of lights, gongs and drums, ready to welcome the arrival of the bride. Near the city gate, a large crowd gathered. They all came here to see what the legendary Old Demon Xu was like.

"He's Old Devil Xu? How can you be so young? ”

"yes, you're too young, aren't you? How could he defeat the murderous Tartars? ”

"Cut, you really haven't seen the world! I've never seen a big snake! Aspiring not to be old, haven't you heard of it? The elder of the committee is the reincarnation of the true dragon emperor, and he is young and promising, and it is only natural that the blue is better than the blue......"

"Get out! You scumbag, don't pretend to be Sven here! What does it mean to be better than blue? Do you know the meaning of this phrase? In my opinion, the elder committee member is definitely not the reincarnation of the true dragon emperor. He is the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor himself! If you look at the founding sons of the country in history, which one is so young? He's not married yet! ”

…… All kinds of voices of discussion fell into Xu Xingxia's ears, and he pretended not to hear them. However, if you are a careful person, you may be able to detect that there seems to be a hint of mocking sneer on the corner of the committee member's mouth. What is the reincarnation of the true dragon emperor, what is the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor, this is all nonsense. Lao Tzu crossed over four hundred years later, and this is the truth.

Of course, these words must never be spoken. This is the biggest secret of the committee member, and no one will tell it. In fact, even if he says it, no one will believe it. I believe that you have crossed over after 400 years, it is better to believe that you are the true true dragon emperor, or the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor himself! That's ridiculous!

Xu Xingxia sat on horseback and looked at the ancient city. All the streets are very clean. All drains have been cleaned repeatedly to ensure that there is no odor. The buildings on both sides of the street have also been redecorated. All the green buildings, inns, wine shops and so on, all hung up slogans to congratulate Xu Xingxia's wedding.

Since the Northern Song Dynasty, Kaifeng City has been a strategic location in the Central Plains. Among the royal clansmen of the Ming Dynasty, those who went to Kaifeng were called King Zhou. This is also one of the more wealthy vassal kings. It is said that the amount of land under his control is only below that of King Fu. The land near Kaifeng Mansion basically belongs to the Zhou Palace. There are also a large number of fields in Guide Mansion, Runing Mansion and other places near Kaifeng Mansion, which belong to the Zhou Palace.

This time, the white-clothed army entered Henan and other places, and the first one to be suppressed was King Zhou. King Zhou and King Qing are completely different, he did not flee, but chose to resist stubbornly. As a result, under the attack of the white-clothed army, King Zhou only held out for half a day, and all the guards under his command were annihilated by the white-clothed army. Subsequently, in desperation, he was captured alive by the white-clothed soldiers, and then handed over to the management committee of Kaifeng Prefecture for trial.

Because King Zhou was usually quite unpopular in Kaifeng Mansion, it caused anger and resentment, and as a result, the final result was a decisive decision. Of the 33 members of the Committee, 32 were in favour of his outright execution. As a result, King Zhou was directly guillotined by the angry people of Kaifeng Mansion. At the same time, all the property of the Zhou Wangfu was confiscated.

This was the first vassal king to suppress after the uprising of the White Army. He died not at the hands of the white-clothed army, but at the hands of an angry populace. His death was a great shock to the other vassal kings. After the suppression of King Zhou, the vassal kings in the surrounding areas of Henan Province no longer dared to resist the arrival of the white-clothed army. King Lu of Yanzhou, King De of Jinan, and King Heng of Qingzhou all chose to escape with interest, or chose to cooperate with the white-clothed army. In the end, although they lost most of their property and all their land, their lives were saved.

The place where Xu Xingxia stayed was the Zhou Palace. The original owners of the Zhou Palaces have all been expelled and relocated to other places. Knowing that the chairman of the committee was going to welcome the bride here, the Kaifeng Mansion Management Committee made a special arrangement for the Zhou Palace. After Xu Xingxia looked around, he didn't say anything, nodded, and said that he was living in King Zhou's mansion.

It is certain that the arrangement of the Kaifeng Mansion Management Committee is somewhat extravagant and wasteful, and it is not quite in line with the purpose of the white-clothed army to do things economically. However, marriage is a major event in life after all, and he can't blindly be simple, which is unfair to Zhu Yilan. What girl gets married and doesn't want to be beautiful and decent? Life, after all, is only once.

In the eyes of many people, the official position of the white-clothed army is quite strange, what chairman, what director, what chief and deputy director, etc., it sounds quite awkward. However, this does not prevent ordinary people from understanding and accepting the white-clothed army. In fact, most ordinary people still regard Xu Xingxia as the future emperor.

This is also the consistent perception of ordinary people. Throughout the five thousand years, those who seized the world must be emperors in the end. The whole country is yours, how can you not be the emperor? Would you be willing to hand over what you have to someone else? Since Xu Xingxia is the emperor, then Zhu Yilan is naturally the future queen. The emperor's wedding, how can he not be extravagant? If you get married in the capital, you don't know how luxurious it is?

"Thank you for your hard work! On a personal note, thank you! I don't have anything to greet everyone, just a glass of wine, please! I'll do it first as respect, everyone is free! At the welcome banquet that night, Xu Xingxia sincerely thanked him. He is going to be the groom's official, so he naturally has to treat his subordinates well. It is not easy for the white-clothed army to get to this day, after all.

This night, Xu Xingxia really drank a lot of wine. By the time the banquet was over, he was already drunk. With Gu Susu's support, he staggered back to his residence, and without even taking off his clothes, he just lay on the bed and fell asleep. As for what happened after he fell asleep, he had no idea. Anyway, when he woke up the next morning, he found that he had already taken a shower and changed all the clothes on his body, and he felt very comfortable.

"Who did that? Why don't I feel anything at all? Xu Xingxia asked casually.

"Guess?" In private, when there were no outsiders, Gu Susu didn't mind joking with Xu Xingxia. Anyway, she is also a member of Xu Xingxia's harem, and Zhu Yilan admits it. Xu Xingxia's life is in her hands.
