Chapter 766: Your Choice

Li Dingguo, who was captured alive, was not kept in his cell all the time, and after being detained for a period of time, he was accompanied by a special person to go to various places in Nanzhili to have a look.

This is, of course, an arrangement made by Zheng Xunrui.

Li Dingguo in history is a member of the late Ming Dynasty, when the Ming Dynasty was about to perish, he led the army to resist the Qing Dynasty, once forced Kong Youde to commit suicide, and almost recovered Huguang and other places, but unfortunately Li Dingguo was born at the wrong time, and finally died of hatred, watching the Ming Dynasty be swallowed up by the Qing Dynasty little by little.

History has changed, Kong Youde was captured by the Zheng family army and beheaded by the imperial court, and Li Dingguo was also captured by the Zheng family army.

For a talent like Li Dingguo, Zheng Xunrui still wants to collect the account, but Li Dingguo was taken in by Zhang Xianzhong from the age of ten, until he was captured by the Zheng family army at the age of twenty-one, and he was by Zhang Xianzhong's side for eleven years, and the influence of Zhang Xianzhong is huge.

Zheng Xunrui didn't think that he had to absorb Li Dingguo, the generals in the Zheng family army gathered, and any person pulled out would not be much worse than Li Dingguo, and the Zheng family army was bound to completely exterminate the rogues and restore the peace of the great tomorrow, after he captured Li Dingguo, he arranged for him to go around Nanzhili to take a look, thinking about recovering Li Dingguo, in fact, it was for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to see those rogues.

Military strikes are the main means, and political division and co-optation are also the main means, and the two cannot be biased.

Now, Zheng Xunrui is ready to personally lead a large army to conquer Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhang Xianzhong will definitely become a rogue who the Zheng family army must completely exterminate. At this time, Zheng Xunrui thought of Li Dingguo.

Zheng Xunrui is not so cruel, he will not ask Li Dingguo to participate in the battle to exterminate Zhang Xianzhong, and go into battle to fight, but in the process of confronting Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi and others under Zhang Xianzhong still have to try their best to win over. In this way, Zheng Jiajun can also minimize casualties and exterminate Zhang Xianzhong as quickly as possible.

Li Dingguo was held in solitary confinement in a courtyard next to the Dali Temple in Nanjing.

When Zheng Xunrui entered the courtyard, he found that it was quite clean inside, and he nodded slightly, which at least showed that Li Dingguo was not tortured and abused here, and his life was still good.

The movement in the courtyard alarmed Li Dingguo, and Li Dingguo, who walked out quickly, saw Zheng Xunrui who was surrounded by everyone at a glance, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment at first sight.

Li Dingguo has not met Zheng Xunrui. It is impossible to have a chance to meet Zheng Xunrui, unless Zheng Xunrui takes the initiative to come.

When Zheng Jinhong was about to speak, Zheng Xunrui waved his hand.

"You are Li Dingguo, Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, brave in battle."

Li Dingguo looked at Zheng Xunrui and nodded, and asked rhetorically.

"I'm Li Dingguo, I don't know who you are."

Seeing that the faces of the people around him had changed, Li Dingguo didn't care. He was not afraid of death, and what else was there to fear.

"Oh. I'm Zheng Xunrui, I heard that I'm very famous on your side, I don't know if that's the case. ”

Hearing such an answer, Li Dingguo's face turned slightly pale, the name Zheng Xunrui is not only famous among the rebels. It is also synonymous with the devil, the righteous army has suffered several large-scale battles, and has suffered a crushing defeat to the Zheng family's army, if it weren't for other changes here, it would be said that the indefinite army has been wiped out by the Zheng family's army.

"You, you're Zheng, Lord Zheng......"

Li Dingguo stammered a little when he spoke. He is only twenty-two years old, it is the time when the sky is not afraid of the earth, but he still admires brave people, whether it is Zhang Xianzhong or Li Zicheng, and even Gu Junen and others, they all say that Zheng Xunrui is terrible, Zheng Jiajun is too brave, not something that the righteous army can deal with, and now he has seen Zheng Xunrui with his own eyes, but he is just a young man with an unusual temperament, which he can't help but be surprised.

"You've been in Nanjing for a while, and you've been to all over Nanzhili, and you've had a look, do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, the people here are living a good life, and if I could live such a life in Shaanxi, I wouldn't have rebelled."

"Hehe, your meaning is also clear, the officials forced the people to rebel, and it was not your willingness to rebel, and this is not right, the rebellion back then was cornered, starvation is death, rebellion is death, it is better to rebel and be a starving ghost, but after several times the court recruited An, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others, there is no need to worry about eating, why do they still rebel, I don't understand this too well, can you explain it to me."

"There are dog officials everywhere, and these dog officials are in the company, so the king and the righteous father don't do it."

Li Dingguo speaks very straightforwardly, which also shows that he is naïve and simple, since he was ten years old, he has been by Zhang Xianzhong's side, and he basically fights and kills every day, advocating the pacification of the world by force, and the truth he accepts is also instilled by Zhang Xianzhong and others.

I don't know why, Zheng Xunrui's heart is slightly disappointed, it seems that the description of history is always biased.

"Li Dingguo, you are only twenty-two years old, you have been by Zhang Xianzhong's side since you were ten years old, you are fighting and killing every day, treating human life as a mustard, not to mention how much knowledge you have increased, this can't be blamed on you, but this time you have seen so many situations in various places in Nanzhili, if you still don't have any understanding, then this is the end of your life, and you don't have much interest."

Li Dingguo's face turned red all of a sudden.

During the time when he watched all over Nanzhili, it was impossible for Li Dingguo not to feel it, seeing that the common people were living so richly, living so peacefully, and they were full of praise for the government at all levels, it was impossible not to admire and envy, but he was young and unwilling to say soft words, obviously he recognized it in his heart, but what he said on his lips was not good.

"I feel that there is, if I had that day, I would definitely not rebel......"

In a hurry, Li Dingguo spoke.

Li Dingguo's attitude made Zheng Xunrui feel uncomfortable, he felt that he should remind Li Dingguo well, there are some things that need to be said directly, for people like Li Dingguo, understatement has no effect.

"Is it just these feelings, let me tell you two very important points, the first point, do things according to your ability, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others, now they all want to be emperors, they are no longer the so-called leaders of the righteous army who used to complain for the people, it is said that there are virtuous people in this world, they have such thoughts, it is normal, but it is a pity that they did not look at their own ability, and they are not worthy of the pinnacle position."

"The second point, do anything, you must want the interests of the people, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong can pursue their own enjoyment, can live a life of fine clothes and food, but they can't forget the people, can't forget the original intention, can't forget that the purpose of their rebellion is to let the people have food and clothing, have rebelled for more than ten years, have they done this, looting everywhere, looting everywhere, living comfortably, the women around them are much better, but the life of the common people is becoming more and more difficult, Let the common people become their tools for seeking power, do they dare to have delusions in their way? ”

"Li Dingguo, if you can't understand these truths, you think about the little Jiujiu in your heart, thinking that arrogance can represent everything, you will continue to be arrogant and see who in this world will care about your pitiful arrogance."

When the red-faced Li Dingguo was about to speak, Zheng Xunrui waved his hand again.

"What I said today, it is good for you to be able to listen to it, it is your creation, I will not force it if you can't listen to it, think about the righteous army in your mind, how to treat the prisoners after each battle, think about your father-in-law Zhang Xianzhong, how many innocent people he killed after the siege of the city, just for this point, I, Zheng Xunrui, will never let them go."

"My words are here, the meaning is very clear, how to choose, you make a decision as soon as possible, you are a man, don't grind, if you want to be loyal to Zhang Xianzhong, then speak early, I will fulfill you."

"I can also tell you, if you want to be loyal to Zhang Xianzhong, the opportunity will come soon, I will personally lead the army to completely exterminate Zhang Xianzhong, this time he Zhang Xianzhong may not have any chance."

Li Dingguo, who was overwhelmed by what Zheng Xunrui said, was already stunned, he wanted to speak, but unfortunately there was no chance to speak, Zheng Xunrui had already turned around and left, he wanted to follow and say something, but the sergeant next to him had already blocked him.

"Young master, what do you do with someone like Li Dingguo, your subordinates don't feel comfortable looking at it."

Zheng Xunrui sighed slightly.

"Jin Hong, nine times out of ten unsatisfactory things in the world, it is impossible for everything to be satisfactory, Tang Taizong back then, was able to forgive Wei Zheng who sought his life, thus achieving his own hegemony, can't I forgive the young Li Dingguo, you remember, don't look at Li Dingguo with another eye, how he was treated before, how he will be treated in the future, if Li Dingguo really wants to follow Zhang Xianzhong, then his opportunity is coming soon."

"Young master, wouldn't it be better if someone like Zhang Xianzhong could fight for it."

"Jinhong, people like Zhang Xianzhong must not be fought for, they must be killed, I have already said before, people like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, their ideas have long changed, they think of the world of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what kind of conditions can not meet their requirements, they are already insatiable, and the only way to deal with people is to kill mercilessly, leaving no room for anything."

Hearing Zheng Xunrui say this, Zheng Jinhong nodded vigorously, he had already thought of the emperor in his heart, and he didn't know how the young master would treat the emperor in the future, but he didn't dare to ask directly about such thoughts. (To be continued.) )
