Jingzhou is not far from Lizhou. After crossing the Yangtze River and going south more than a hundred miles, you will reach the boundary of Lizhou.

As the end of the year approaches, the war in the Western Kingdom has not been resolved. This year's New Year, Gao Huan can only spend the New Year outside.

At this time, Gao Huan, surrounded by a group of civil and military officials, came to the Cennan Farm near Lizhou.

The farm secretary Zeng Qingfeng was surrounded by Gao Huan in panic and excited, pointing to the crowd in the distance and said, "Your Majesty Zhang Xianzhong is there!"

After Gao Huan learned that Zhang Xianzhong had surrendered himself and made a request to meet him, he was quite happy and decided to go to Lizhou to meet Zhang Xianzhong.

Gao Huan said: "Why are you still working hard? After all, he is the leader of a country and he voluntarily surrenders. He should be dealt with with lenient things!"

Zeng Qingfeng hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this is what Zhang Xianzhong himself asked!"

Gao Huan was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xianzhong was so happy that he was still a masochist. He smiled and said, "Let's go, take a look!"

On the edge of the canal by the Censhui River, several teams of people each planted a red flag, busy and busy.

Zhang Xianzhong waved his hoe and renovated the canal with great enthusiasm.

After the Chinese New Year, spring plowing will occur. If the canal cannot be repaired before the Chinese New Year, it will definitely affect production next year.

After Zhang Xianzhong arrived at the farm, he was very unhappy at first. He kept thinking about escaping from the farm, and even wanted to plan a riot and kill all the Qianchao officials who oppressed them in the farm.

For this reason, Zhang Xianzhong contacted Liu Wenxiu and Xu Yixian, but both of them raised objections.

Zhang Xianzhong was a little shocked when he saw this and felt that the two were brainwashed by the instructor of Qian Dynasty. In order to make them awake, Zhang Xianzhong took the initiative to participate in the night ideological class and also participated in other labor. He wanted to understand the words of the instructor of Qian Kingdom, but not long after, he surrendered himself.

Not only did Zhang Xianzhong lose his energy to make Liu Wenxiu and Xu Yixing sober, but instead brought himself in.

Gao Huan and his group stopped the war horses not far away and turned over and dismounted. Zeng Qingfeng ordered a soldier to trot to Zhang Xianzhong. After saying a few words, Zhang Xianzhong straightened up and saw Gao Huan in the distance.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong unconsciously held the hoe in his hand, trying to kill Gao Huan with a hoe, but then let go again.

Gao Huan came over, and the surrounding civilians and labor reform personnel all knelt down on the ground, leaving only Zhang Xianzhong standing.

With eyes facing each other, sparks flashed, Zhang Xianzhong bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, you are here!"

Gao Huan smiled and said, "I heard that Lao Zhang, you want to see me, so I came over without stopping."

Gao Huan walked forward and shook hands with Zhang Xianzhong cordially. There was no unpleasant look on their faces, as if they had not seen each other for many years.

Song Xiance and several colleagues looked at each other and sighed in their hearts that this is politics.

Zhang Xianzhong said frankly: "I have felt a lot in recent days. I finally understand why the Western Kingdom failed and why His Majesty unified the world. I was convinced!"

Gao Huan was a little surprised to let a generation of heroes say such words. He didn't believe that labor reform had such an effect. He smiled and said, "Is this the heartfelt word?"

Zhang Xianzhong turned around and looked at the wilderness by the Censhui River. He saw the busy people in the distance and sighed: "It's indeed heartfelt words! When I joined the rebel army and resisted the rule of the Ming Dynasty, I also felt that the world was unfair! The vassal kings and landlords had wealth, good fields and wild fields, and the poor did not have a place to set up a cone. Once they encountered a famine, the poor had to sell their children and daughters. This was unfair, so I wanted to raise an army and kill all the vassal kings and local tyrants and evil gentry!"

Gao Huan nodded slightly, pulled Zhang Xianzhong aside, leaving Song Xiance and others to stand aside.

"Lao Zhang, I agree with you and Lao Li's uprising!" Gao Huan raised his arms and waved his hand proudly: "The rotten court, the court that makes the people suffer, should be overthrown!"

"I thought that killing all these people would make the world peaceful and fair!" Zhang Xianzhong continued: "Later, I went to Sichuan and became the emperor, thinking that I had given the justice the people wanted. But I was wrong! In the past few months, I was dissatisfied at first, but after seeing what Gan Guo did, I felt ashamed! Just as the teaching said, I was separated from the masses, so I failed!"

Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are both murderers. Gao Huan doesn't believe his words very much, but Gao Huan keeps smiling: "Oh, what did I do, which makes you feel so deeply?"

Zhang Xianzhong pointed to the canal that was being repaired and said, "It's all these small things! After I founded Daxi, I distributed the land to the people, and then ignored it, and just collected taxes on time. In essence, this is to treat the people as cattle, sheep and crops, and did not treat them as humans, nor did they really do anything for them. But Ganchao was different, just said to build the canal, teaching us to understand the silt and eliminate the snails inside. I didn't understand at first, but later I realized that this snail is an important part of the big belly disease. I knew that Jiangnan, which was ruled by the Gan Kingdom, had basically eliminated this disease!"

Zhang Xianzhong was a little excited, "Your Majesty's great deeds, treating the people as human beings, not just giving a piece of land, but also thinking about how to lead the people to become rich, stay away from diseases, make the people live a good life, have dignity, and give them true justice! In contrast, Daxi did too badly, and I was really convinced!"

Gao Huan was able to say these things after hearing Zhang Xianzhong's words, which shows that Zhang Xianzhong had at least thought about these issues.

Thinking of Zhang Xianzhong in history, Gao Huan felt that he was still a little different from Lao Li. After seeing the Qing Dynasty entering the pass, he once suspected that it was a mistake to act, and finally told Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and others to help Ming.

This shows that Zhang Xianzhong at least has the world in mind.

Gao Huan believed Zhang Xianzhong's words a little, so he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then Lao Zhang, you are willing to help me unify the world and give the people a peaceful and prosperous era!"

Zhang Xianzhong politely said, "If Your Majesty can trust me, I am willing to persuade my subordinates to surrender!"

This was exactly the purpose of Gao Huan coming to see Zhang Xianzhong. The Qing Dynasty gathered the four-nation coalition forces to attack Lushun. Gao Huan could not really sit idly by.

Now the remnants of the Western Army have fled to Yunnan and Guizhou, where the terrain and ethnic situation are relatively complicated.

If the Gan army continues to attack, the war will not be able to end in a short period of time.

Therefore, when Gao Huan heard that Zhang Xianzhong surrendered himself, he became interested in surrendering.

After all, Gao Huan could let Zheng Zhilong go and let the Zheng family be a vassal of a big-time overseas vassal, so he could also let the Western Army go and tame the Western Army and become a pawn who expanded his territory.

Of course, the premise is that the Western Army is relatively surrendered. If it continues to covet the Central Plains and Yu Gaohuan is against it, it must be wiped out.

"Haha~" Gao Huan smiled heartily, "I came here in person to discuss this matter with you!"
