When Zhang Mingwei saw the question, he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this little Yuan camp may be invited to help him!"

When he heard this, the people in Wenhua Palace were disappointed. Especially Emperor Chongzhen, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Fortunately, it was Duke Xingguo who said this. Emperor Chongzhen took the initiative to remind him: "Sir, Zhang Xianzhong betrayed the court after he recruited him, which was what happened last year!"

Although the others didn't say anything, they nodded in their hearts. Look at Xiong Wencan, who was strongly advocated for revenge, was killed in half. If someone else asked for revenge, the emperor would probably be furious.

However, after hearing this, Zhang Mingwei still insisted on his own opinion: "Your Majesty, although Zhang Xianzhong rebelled after being recruited, what about Liu Guoneng? He did not have to have been serving the court after being recruited, and eventually died in the battlefield. Bai Guangen, who also had been serving the court after being recruited."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen felt Zhang Mingwei's stubbornness. Suddenly, his heart moved. Could it be that this little Yuanying was recruited in his original history, which proved his loyalty to the court? If this is really the case, wouldn't it be possible to recruit him?

He was thinking this in his heart. However, for the future of his benefactor, Min Hongxue persuaded Zhang Mingwei: "The Duke of the State does not know that the power of the court is consumed so much now, and the thief is very powerful. When you go to recruit the amnesty at this time, even if you can recruit the amnesty, the thief must have many requirements. If you are not satisfied, the possibility of rebelling again is extremely high, not as good as before!"

Generally speaking, what he said really makes sense.

If the court does not have enough troops to intimidate, it is indeed likely that the thief generals will have a different intention. In fact, it is not necessary to mention the thief generals, just talk about Zuo Liangyu. If the court has enough troops to intimidate, would he still be arrogant and unspeakable?

The people present basically understood this truth. They had a very good relationship with Duke Xingguo, so they naturally nodded and agreed, wanting Duke Xingguo to give up this idea.

But who knew that, they heard Emperor Chongzhen say, "Sir, since you say that, there must be a sir!"

When they heard this, the people in Wenhua Palace, except Wang Chengen, were stunned. Didn’t the emperor take the initiative to remind the Duke that thieves are prone to surrender and rebel, so why did they change their words so quickly?

When they came to their senses, they looked at Emperor Chongzhen and Duke Xingguo again. They were really puzzled. Why did Emperor Chongzhen trust Duke Xingguo so much? What is the relationship between them?

It’s like when Duke Xingguo says one, the emperor will say one; even if the emperor says two at the beginning, he will immediately change his words! This... is simply too exaggerated, right?

"Your Majesty, if you can really recruit this little Yuan camp and make it really useful to the court, the situation in the Central Plains can be reversed immediately!" Min Hongxue frowned and said, "With this army, coupled with the Jing camp and five other guerrillas, you will have the advantage over Zuo Liangyu's troops. If you can defeat Zuo Liangyu's troops, you can go to Kaifeng to fight against Li's troops, and go south to fight with Huang Degong's troops to attack Zhang Xianzhong and other bandits."

After saying this, he showed helplessness: "But the variables in recruiting this little Yuan camp are too great. If you rebel against the court, the situation will be unprecedented. Be careful when you recruit the government, and be careful!"

The cabinet assistant Du Yinxi immediately agreed, agreeing with the Minister of War's analysis of the current situation, and also advocated that the recruitment should be cautious.

Needless to say, the others also agreed. For a moment, the opinions in Wenhua Palace were basically one-sided.

If the recruitment is successful, the situation will be very favorable; on the other hand, if the recruitment is failed, the situation will be very serious. After Emperor Chongzhen understood this, he felt even more urgent and said hurriedly: "Okay, then today's intention is like this for the time being. Please go and do it first. Sir, stay, I have something to ask!"

The people in Wenhua Palace are all human beings. As soon as they heard this, they knew that Emperor Chongzhen probably wanted to ask the Duke privately about this trouble. However, although they thought of this, they just couldn't understand why they wanted to retreat. Is there anything shameful about this trouble that cannot be let them know?

Although they were puzzled, the emperor had already said so, and they had no choice but to take a break.

Wang Chengen was also curious and wanted to stay and listen, but he had no choice but to see Emperor Chongzhen speak, so he reluctantly left Wenhua Palace with the other civil servants.

Finally, even the eunuch and palace maids withdrew from the Wenhua Hall, Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly asked Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, this little Yuanying is also famous in later generations?"

After saying that, when he saw Zhang Mingwei nodding, he was immediately overjoyed and asked quickly: "Sir, please come quickly, can you really attract peace?"

Emperor Chongzhen could hear clearly what the Minister of War just now said. If the amnesty was really successful, the situation would be greatly beneficial to the court, which was something he was very eager for.

Zhang Mingwei naturally saw Emperor Chongzhen's eagerness, and did not make any traces. He immediately introduced to him: "According to the information I saw, the leader of this small Yuan camp was named Yuan Shizhong, which is different from ordinary bandits. He had to rebel during the famine in Henan, Hebei and Shandong, but he had always had the intention to be recruited."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that he began to introduce, he listened attentively.

"After he was defeated by the imperial army, he defected to Li Zicheng, but he couldn't get along with each other. What's more important is that at this time, Li Zicheng had already become a big shot and had the ambition to change the dynasty, so he wanted to annex other thieves to strengthen himself and unify the order to fight for the world..."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen's face looked very bad. Even though he knew that he was forced to death by Li Zicheng in the end, he was still very unhappy when he heard that Li Zicheng had the ambition to change the dynasty.

"If it develops according to the original history, the troops of Cao Cao, Luo Rucai, would be annexed by Li Zicheng, and Luo Rucai would also be killed by Li Zicheng. Yuan Shizhong noticed it in time and went to the south to join Zhang Xianzhong. But at this time, Zhang Xianzhong actually had this idea. Yuan Shizhong was afraid, so he separated from Zhang Xianzhong again..."

"Then he surrendered to the court?" Emperor Chongzhen's heart moved when he heard this and asked anxiously.

Zhang Mingwei shook his head and said, "At that time, he had contacted the governor of the imperial court to suppress the thieves, but he had never made up his mind. He also took the initiative to tell the court that killing the rebel generals of the imperial court was a meeting ceremony for revenge. However, in the end, this matter was not clearly recorded in history books, and it was not successful in the end..."

"Then what happened to him in the end?" Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became a little anxious when he heard this and asked quickly.

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei sighed and said, "In the end, he went to Li Zicheng's side again, and was killed by Li Zicheng, and the army was annexed."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It was different from what he imagined. He frowned and said to Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, from these things, it's not easy to be sure whether he really wants to be recruited?"

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei nodded and said, "It is indeed difficult to make a conclusion about him just by judging these things. But he still has something to do, I didn't say it just now!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope and asked quickly: "What else is there?"

Zhang Mingwei showed a hint of respect on his face and said seriously: "According to the original historical development, in October this year, Jianlu, under the leadership of the slave chief Ajige, invaded again and ravaged the pass. Yuan Shizhong was originally in the south, but after hearing this, he resolutely led his troops north to fight Jianlu!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he looked incredible. He was a thief and would even take the initiative to run from the south to the north to fight against Jianlu. Don’t he know the great reputation of Jianlu’s army?

Zhang Mingwei understood how surprised Emperor Chongzhen looked. When he found this information, he was also quite surprised. Therefore, he continued to introduce: "After he led the army north, it seemed that Jinan Prefecture was captured by Jianlu again. He defeated the Jianlu in Jinan, mainly the Eight Mongolian Banners, and rescued all the Ming people who were plundered. There was something here that surprised me very much."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard about what surprised Duke Xingguo, he couldn't help but be very curious and asked quickly: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Mingwei said seriously: "After he saved the people, he told them that if there were still people at home, he would let them go back and each person would give him fifty cents of travel expenses. Not only that, his army did not plunder the people, so it was called a Buddhist soldier by the people!"

Emperor Chongzhen was really shocked. Even the imperial officials could not do such a thing, right? He was really unbelievable and confirmed: "Sir, do this matter seriously?"

After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, it is hard for me to be sure whether this is true or false in historical materials!"

Speaking of this, he corrected his attitude and said seriously: "It is also based on this historical material that I thought that this little Yuanying should be able to recruit. As for what exactly, you will know when you go and take a look?"

In other words, there is still a possibility of successful recruitment in this matter, but it cannot be guaranteed. After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen began to think about this matter in his heart.

Seeing him lowering his head and thinking, Zhang Mingwei said, "Your Majesty, whether this little Yuan camp has been recruited now has a great relationship. With my reputation and identity, I think if I go to contact this little Yuan camp, the possibility of the recruitment will be greater."
