The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 54
The red lady was relieved to see Liu Fangliang finally compromised.

She learned this trick from the little emperor, who used to force those nobles to submit in this way.

I didn't expect it to be very useful.

She also knew that Liu Fangliang was not sincerely surrendering, but was forced by the situation, but what does it matter?

Didn't she agree to temporarily form an alliance with the little emperor and enter the city because of lack of food and grass?

As a result, he became alone in two days.

So she decided to let Liu Fangliang also have a taste of being abandoned by her brothers.

As the gate opened wide, Liu Fangliang led a group of generals out of the city, and the two sides who had just been at war immediately greeted each other affectionately.

Although the red lady didn't bring much food this time, she brought a lot of wine and meat. As the big pots were set up, the atmosphere became more lively.

People from both sides went to find acquaintances one after another, and in a short period of time more than [-] people became one.

And in the big tent in the camp outside the city, dozens of generals from both sides also hooked their shoulders and began to eat and drink.

"Brother Lei Ben, look at your ruddy complexion, you seem to be doing well. I heard that you came from the capital, come here, tell me something..."

"Haha, this capital city is so damn big, that house is magnificent..."

Red Lady's number one general, Lei Ben, laughed, and began to explain to everyone.

Liu Fangliang's generals were fascinated by what they heard.

When they heard that the emperor rewarded Lei Ben with a house and three beauties, and even made him a lieutenant general, everyone salivated enviously.

"Brother Lei, isn't the woman rewarded by the emperor not like a fairy?"

"Haha, do you need to talk about it? That face, that look, that tender skin can make water come out, tsk tsk..." Lei Ben said while making obscene gestures.

After some descriptions, the people who provoked all slapped their thighs straight, holding the wine bowl and pouring it vigorously, and then sighed with sour emotion.

"Brother Lei is really lucky!"

"What is this?"

"Your Majesty said that in the future, as long as you make meritorious service, gold, silver and beauties are nothing, and you will also be rewarded with land, starting from a hundred acres, and even a knighthood."

Lei Ben took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, looked disdainful, and then smiled again.

"But Brother Wang is right when he said that his brother's fate is good. This person just wants to follow the right person."

"For a battle-hardened veteran like Brother Wang, as long as the commander of my family reports your deeds, according to His Majesty's meritocracy, what kind of mansion, beautiful official position, wouldn't it be a full reward?"

"Oh? We can also get rewards?" Everyone's eyes lit up, they lowered their voices, and stared straight at Lei Ben.

"Why not? Don't you all submit to the imperial court now? We all have them, and you must be indispensable too. It's just that your majesty doesn't know you and wants my family's commander to recommend you. You also know your majesty and my family's commander. They are old acquaintances..."

"Brother Lei, tell me, what kind of official position can you give someone like brother? Is there a beautiful house?"

"Brother Lei, what about someone like me?"

For a while, the five or six people around Lei Ben were scrambling to ask questions, and then secretly asked him to help speak nice words in front of the red lady.

And this scene happened almost everywhere in and outside the city.

The little boss and the little boss gathered together to drink and fart, and the elite veterans and ordinary soldiers also gathered together to brag.

In just one day, Liu Fangliang's [-] soldiers lost their hearts.

High-ranking military officers think of beauties recommended by red ladies, while small bosses, elite veterans and ordinary soldiers think of mistresses who pay land and houses.

When Liu Fangliang sobered up, it was too late to realize that Hong Niangzi had drawn up the recommendation list and was busy making a roster, counting elite veterans and ordinary soldiers.

If Zhu Cihong sent other people to surrender, even if he promised, these rebels would have concerns, doubts, and disbelief.

But Hong Niangzi's people are also rebels who have just defected to the past, most of them still know each other, and the examples are there, so Liu Fangliang's people can't believe it.

In addition, now that Chuang Wang has been defeated, people's hearts are fluctuating, and there are many people who want to eat at the court.

"Commander Hong, it's really a good method. Sure enough, he got the true biography of a military teacher. In just one day, he made Liu a lonely family."

Liu Fangliang looked at the red lady and smiled bitterly, but in her heart she wished that the red lady would be broken into pieces.

"Brother Liu is joking. In fact, the brothers themselves don't want to live the life of wandering around. The younger sister just wants to find a good way out for the brothers."

The red lady sighed with emotion.

But seeing his aggrieved yet helpless look, he finally found a balance in his heart, not to mention how happy he was.

"Oh! Whatever!"

"From now on, as a brother, I have to rely on my younger siblings to speak well in front of His Majesty!" Liu Fangliang cupped his hands, keeping his posture very low, obviously knowing that now he can only choose to really submit to the court.

"Hehe, that's easy to say. My little sister told His Majesty before she came that Big Brother Liu is the only general in my rebel army. Your Majesty has always cherished talents, and I believe he will only take the heavy responsibility." Hong Niangzi waved her hand.

"Then I would like to thank my brother and sister, but I am really ashamed to be a general." Liu Fangliang hurriedly thanked him.

……

Two days later, Jin Yiwei came to pass the decree. Liu Fangliang's generals and generals were rewarded once, and ordinary soldiers and elite veterans were also paid.

"What, Your Majesty wants to call the two of us back to Beijing?"

Liu Fangliang was obviously unwilling to go.

"Brother Liu, there's nothing to make a fuss about, other generals are fine, you must return to Beijing to thank you." Hong Niangzi explained.

"Having said that, it's just..." Liu Fangliang still had some doubts.

The red lady frowned, and had no choice but to say again: "Brother Liu, is your majesty such a villain as a thief? You are too worrying, so, if your majesty really wants to punish you at that time, my younger sister will die." How about advancing and retreating with you?"

"All right!"

Liu Fangliang also knew that he had no choice, so he had no choice but to nod helplessly when he saw what she said. He still believed in Hong Niangzi's character.

Immediately, the two had an explanation, and then headed towards Beijing City with dozens of personal guards.

He rushed all the way, and in just an hour, he ran from Tongzhou to Chaoyangmen in the eastern suburbs of the capital.

Qianqing Palace.

"The last general, Li Ying, greets His Majesty, Long live Your Majesty!"

"Criminal Liu Fangliang, kowtow to His Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

Liu Fangliang also quickly followed the red lady to kneel down, her tone was quite nervous, and she only dared to take a peek at Zhu Cihong when she came in, and kept her head down all the time.

"Pingshen, General Li has worked hard all the way, come and give me a seat!"

"General Liu, too. Now that you have surrendered, you don't care about what happened in the past. From now on, I will reward you for serving the court."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two of them quickly thanked her, Liu Fangliang also breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the red lady sitting on a small stool beside her, she was quite envious, and at the same time surprised that the little emperor regarded her so highly.

Then Zhu Cihong chatted with Liu Fangliang for a few words, and then asked him to leave.

Then all the eunuchs and maids were sent away, and then he said with a smile: "Haha, General Li has done a great job this time, and I will definitely give you a reward."

He couldn't help being upset, originally he didn't hold much hope, who would have thought that this red lady not only really subdued Liu Fangliang, but also brought him into Beijing, what a pleasant surprise.

Especially at this stall.

"Your Majesty deserves the award, it's all due to His Majesty's Tianwei!"

"Hey! How did General Li learn how to flatter those literati? This is not the red lady I know."

Zhu Cilang waved his hand, then changed his voice and said in a deep voice:
"General Li, if I kill Liu Fangliang now, are you sure you can control his 8 troops?"
