Chapter 36 The lone hero, the loyal soul of Ming Dynasty
Li Zicheng died, and the middle and senior leaders of the bandits were wiped out, and almost all of the personal guards who were truly loyal to Li Zicheng were killed in battle. These more than 3,000 bandits were also when Ah Qing and Hong Niangzi competed, and Zhu Youjian did not kill them for the time being. They were not Li Zicheng's loyalty.
Who would die if he could live? Seeing Li Yan and Hong Niangzi arrive, all of these people knelt down for him.
"General, Madam, help us, we are willing to follow the general and Madam to the death."
Hundreds of thousands of troops were strangled, and some people had good qualities in their hearts and had collapsed at this time. Their only idea now is not to die.
Looking at the bloody Dashunjun in front of him, Li Yan sighed:
"All up. Li Yan is incompetent and may not be able to save your life. Now your destiny is in your own hands, it depends on whether you know how to cherish it."
"Yes, my husband is right. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty just said that as long as you repent and surrender to the court, he will pardon you."
The Hongniang added Li Yan's words again, and the three Dashun Army shouted:
"We are willing to surrender to the court and will never do anything wrong in the future..."
Li Yan and his wife did not have much trouble, and all these prisoners were worshipped and apologized in front of Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Youjian is not Emperor Chongzhen now, he is a time traveler.
He knew very well that after natural disasters and man-made disasters, the population of the Ming Dynasty shrank sharply, but now there are wasteland everywhere.
For the revival of the Ming Dynasty, these people would be useful in the future, so they all pardoned them and asked Li Yan and his wife to be their leaders for the time being.
Zhu Youjian's decision made the prisoners move, and also made Li Yan and Hong Niangzi re-reach the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and both secretly vowed to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
No one opposed Zhu Youjian's decision, and the soldiers he summoned would never say a word.
"Congratulations to the Emperor for destroying the bandits"
Congratulations to His Majesty to conquer so many soldiers..."
Seeing that the emperor not only wiped out the bandits, but also subdued Li Yan and his wife and thousands of soldiers, Sun Chuanting, Qi Jiguang and others all came forward to pay tribute to congratulations.
Zhu Youjian successfully suppressed the bandits and finally fulfilled his dream of an emperor. Of course, he was happier and waved his hand to calm the generals.
"Thank you all the generals, please do not have any gifts. Who is the team of people who came just now? Let their chief general come to see me."
"Abide by the order"
Qi Jiguang agreed and immediately ordered someone to send an order.
Soon a small group of people came to Zhu Youjian and saw that they were coming from afar. They were all covered in dust and were very brave when fighting, but now they were all tired.
The people who came were very strange. He didn't know the generals and the emperor present, and Zhu Youjian and others had never seen him.
Seeing so many generals here, the person who came hurriedly bowed and gave a gift:
"Li Dakai, deputy general of Chizhou, met all the generals."
Li Dakai? Zhu Youjian seemed a little familiar when he heard this name, but he couldn't remember who it was.
"Li Dakai, you are not in Chizhou, why did you come to the capital?"
"Report to the general, the bandits advanced all the way to the capital. I heard that the capital was a few major generals, and the last general was favored by the emperor and decided to come and rescue him.
However, no soldiers were willing to obey the orders, so they could only lead their soldiers and generals to come. Since the capital has already rescued the siege, the last general will return to Chizhou immediately."
After Li Dakai said this, Zhu Youjian remembered the lonely hero who rushed to the capital to rescue the horse and died in battle.
Li Dakai was almost alone to serve the king, which surprised Qi Jiguang, Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong and others, and also admired him very much.
This man is really loyal. He has no soldiers and generals. He brings his family soldiers to rescue him. It is no different from seeking death. His loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is touching.
Since we talk about Li Dakai, let’s introduce it. Many people may not know about this name and deeds, but it really exists. This is the character of the Ming Dynasty.
Before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, an elite army came from thousands of miles away to serve the king.
But unfortunately, Chongzhen didn't know about this, otherwise he might not have died, and this general was Li Dakai.
Li Dakai passed the top scorer in the martial arts examination in the tenth year of Chongzhen and was appointed as the chief general of Zhejiang Camp.
In the days that followed, Li Dakai continued to work hard and was promoted with his own strength. Later, he was transferred to the Imperial Mausoleum of Sizhou.
The Imperial Mausoleum of Sizhou was an important place during the Ming Dynasty, where Zhu Yuanzhang's great-grandfather buried.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty has always sent heavy troops to garrison here.
But unfortunately, in the late period, Li Zicheng heard that as long as he dug up the ancestral tomb in Sizhou, the Ming Dynasty would be over, so he stretched his claws into the imperial tomb.
At this time, Li Dakai led his soldiers and bandits to fight fiercely outside Sizhou City, and finally won a complete victory, thus receiving promotion from the court.
Later, Li Dakai led his subordinates to fight with Xu Du in the suburbs of Jinhua City during the 17th year of Chongzhen. This man had an army of 100,000, but he was not Li Dakai's opponent.
Li Dakai's achievements made Chongzhen very impressed, so he personally issued an order to praise him and promoted him to deputy general of Chizhou.
Li Dakai was a grateful person. He knelt down and kowtowed to the north, thanking Emperor Chongzhen for his attention to him.
Therefore, when the bandits attacked the capital, he resolutely headed north to serve the king.
However, for various reasons, Li Dakai did not receive support from the soldiers and was able to finally bring dozens of servants to Beijing.
After arriving in the capital, Li Dakai realized that Chongzhen had already hanged himself, so he roared to the sky, fought to the death with Li Zichengjue, and eventually died.
Li Zicheng sighed at such a loyal and fierce person:
"The people of the Ming Dynasty are full of hearts, and there are such strange people!"
Li Zicheng was also a person who cherished talent, and he eventually ordered someone to bury Li Dakai well.
In history, Li Dakai missed Emperor Chongzhen, but this time Qin Feng undermined history. Li Dakai came at the right time, and coincidentally met Zhu Youjian on the battlefield.
Zhu Youjian's mind quickly flashed through Li Dakai's actions. This is an absolutely trustworthy person. What the Ming Dynasty lacks the most is talent and money.
"Li Aiqing, you have done a good job. Don't go back for now. Go to the city to rest first. I will not treat you badly. Thank you for serving the king for thousands of miles."
Zhu Youjian's words were all heartfelt words. Li Dakai didn't know just now that the person in front of him was the current Ming emperor, and no one introduced him to him.
But after Zhu Youjian said this, Li Dakai realized that the golden armored general in front of him was Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. He hurriedly turned over and bowed and touched the ground with his head.
"The last general Li Dakai pays homage to the emperor. If you are rude just now, please forgive me for your crime."
Li Dakai's visit made Zhu Youjian feel sad. He thought of the officials and powerful people in the city, and no one was seen during the national crisis.
"I am not eligible for rituals. If you don't kneel down and bow your head on this occasion, hurry up and calm down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Li Dakai stood up, he was so excited that he finally saw the Emperor's real person. He must be loyal to the Ming Dynasty in the future.
