Li Dingguo was silent again. Yes, the Ming Dynasty in front of him is now different from the past. Especially the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers is very terrifying.

Not to mention anything else, from the fact that Zhu Cixuan's 12th Regiment Battalion destroyed Li Zicheng, who had been in trouble for more than ten years, even if it was invincible, it could be considered unrivaled.

But Li Dingguo still said proudly: "No matter how powerful you are, no matter how powerful your officers and soldiers are, you still can't conquer my Jianmen Pass."

Zhu Cilang nodded: "Yes, we really can't hit Jianmen Pass, and I admit this. However, if we can't hit it for the time being, it doesn't mean we can't hit it in the future. Not to mention anything else, the power of the Red Barbarian Cannon has never been seen by others, so General Li must have heard of it."

Li Dingguo was shocked. The red cannons were powerful. They were like thunder and lightning, and they could be said to be unstoppable. Li Dingguo had witnessed this with his own eyes. With the power of the Ming Dynasty today, it would be impossible to place dozens of cannons outside the Jianmen Pass in the future to bombard the pass.

There is no record of using firearms when the bandits fought. On the other hand, there were still a lot of firearms in the Ming Dynasty. However, the firearms were extremely poor at that time and were deducted by officials. What is important is that the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers can be said to be too slack.

There were a few famous generals who couldn't resist Zhen's hindrance. To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen was really a bit unworthy of his position and was very suspicious.

If the thief was willing to delegate power to Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and Sun Chengzong, any of them would be fine. Sun Chuanting, like Sun Chuanting, would be wiped out, and he would be imprisoned and imprisoned. He could not resist and then got Sun Chuanting out, and he didn't even have time to give Sun Jian a new recruit. To put it bluntly, several famous generals such as Sun Chuanting were cheated to death by Chongzhen.

Li Zicheng's army was a bandit, most of the soldiers were hungry, and their weapons and equipment were piles of broken copper and iron. The Ming army was equipped with excellent knives, swords, and bows and arrows in order, while Li Zicheng's army, that is, the Dashun army, was equipped with piles of broken copper and iron, long, short, and different shapes, and a hodgepodge. Li Zicheng's main cold weapons were: swords, swords, hammers, bows and arrows, etc.

Judging from the captured bandit weapons, Li Zicheng's troops had a variety of weapons. Knife was the main weapon of Li Zicheng's individual close combat. It has different shapes, lengths and short swords. The material is average, and it is much worse than the waist knife equipped by the Ming army. The equipment of generals in Li Zicheng's army was shown as copper hammers, each weighing about ten kilograms. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were few hammers used in the armed forces because the actual combat performance of hammers was very poor and the lethality was far less than that of knifes.

Even the bows and arrows that shot weapons were not as good as those equipped by officers and soldiers in terms of talent and performance. But even so, Li Zicheng still entered Beijing.

It's different now. Zhu Cixuan's 12th Regiment Battalion is full of combat effectiveness. Moreover, the military peak is in full swing and the morale is high. Zhang Xianzhong's troops are no match for Zhu Cixuan at this time. At present, Zhang Xianzhong is just relying on natural dangers.

Li Dingguo was not a big talker. He knew Zhu Cilang's power: "So what? We joined the army and followed my king to resist the court. We had long thought that there would be a day when we would die in the battlefield. The prince did not need to say much, and he did not plan for each other. We are all poor people, and we are just doing the killing of the government."

Zhu Cilang said "Yes": "Maybe you are right, but what I told you is. That was before, and I did not deny that the corruption of the dark officials in the court was the root of your rebellion. I also understand that if I was not born in the royal family, I would probably rebel with you."

Song Xiance, who was behind him, followed, "General Li, the court is no longer the same as before. The prince has rectified the administration of the officials and killed a group of corrupt officials. In the future, more will be killed. Your rebellion is nothing more than resisting the darkness of the court. If the officials are clear and clear, the world will prosper. Then I would like to ask, General Li, will you continue to rebel? Even if you want to continue rebelling, who will listen to you? Our prince dares to come here because he believes in General Li's character. Our prince is willing to hand over his life to General Li. General Li, how can you have any reason? You don't believe in our prince."

"What are these?" Li Dingguo then noticed the people around Zhu Cixuan.

Zhu Cilang introduced one by one: "Wangcai, my companion, Meng Fanchao, my escort. These two are our military advisors Li Yan and Song Xiance."

"The prince is really recruiting all the talents in the land and production, and I admire him." Li Dingguo felt a close friend: "If you don't say that you don't plan for each other, if you are not the prince, we will definitely become friends."

Zhu Cilang smiled slightly: "I am the prince, and you and I will become friends too."

Li Dingguo sneered: "It's impossible, I mean we have no way to surrender to the court."

Zhu Cilang also sneered: "If you refuse to surrender, aren't you afraid that I will end up like a thief when I treat you like Li Zicheng?"

Li Dingguo faced tit-for-tat; "Don't forget the prince, you are at Jianmen Pass now. Are you not afraid of forcibly leaving the prince behind and letting the prince not go back?"

"Since I have come, I have thought about it. If I can't go back, I can't go back. My father is not the only son."

Li Dingguo was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhu Cixuan to say this.

Li Yan, who had not spoken, sneered and said, "General Li is ambitious, but he has great ambitions. Since that's the case, has General Li ever thought that this prince's change of power will be a blessing or a disaster for the people of the world?"

A smart person stops when he clicks, and Li Yan's meaning is very obvious. You, Li Dingguo, are different from others. You are full of revenge and still want to serve the country and the people. If you really want to serve the country and the people, you should know that Zhu Cilang is the hope of the Ming Dynasty.

The Lord of Zhongxing, almost all the civil and military scholars in the world, think so. Even the enemy, Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, think so. Zhu Cilang's ascends the throne in the future, may turn the world around and make the Ming Dynasty regain its former glory.

But if you hold Zhu Cilang now, the position of crown prince will change. At that time, the Ming Dynasty will continue to be so corrupt and the people in the world will continue to be in dire straits.

At this time, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army at Zhu Cixuan was no longer the same as before. Even if you want to continue to rebel, you are no match for the court. Detaining Zhu Cixuan will not do you any benefit at all.

Li Dingguo pondered for a moment: "Crown Prince is sorry. Since you have come to Jianmen Pass, don't think about going back. I can only detain you here temporarily and wait for our king to deal with it."

Li Yan and Song Xiance were shocked, and Wangcai on the side said angrily: "You General Li is so unreliable, you actually want to detain us!"

Li Dingguo smiled slightly: "You never get tired of deceit in the war. You came here by yourself. Who will blame me?"
