Wen Anzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought Gao Guiying would put forward some conditions, but he knew it was just such a simple requirement.

He can assure Gao Guiying of this requirement.

"You can rest assured that as long as you sincerely submit to the court, the court will treat you equally."

Gao Guiying nodded: "Since that's the case, we are willing to surrender."

...

...

Wen Anzhi reported to the emperor the good news that Gao Guiying, Tian Jianxiu and other remnants of the Shun Army were surrendered.

Zhu Cixuan was in a good mood after seeing this memorial.

After the Jiugongshan Battle, the remnants of the Shun Army fled all the way, which was a heart-wrenching problem for Zhu Cilang.

Now that the remnants of the Shun Army have surrendered, this heart disease has been removed, he will at least not have to be distracted by this matter in a short period of time.

Of course, how to place this Shun Army is also a difficult problem.

It is definitely not possible to keep them in Guangdong.

God knows whether this Shun Army will be unhappy one day and rebel again.

The best option is to place it on the front line.

Huguang was originally a good choice, but now Huguang is too crowded.

The original Zuo Liangyu tribes, Li Guo, Gao Yi Gong tribe, and even Huang Degong tribe were crowded in Huguang.

There is really no room to accommodate an army of tens of thousands of people.

Another thing Zhu Cilang is afraid of. That is, if Gao Yigong meets with Tian Jianxiu and Liu Fangliang, he will have the intention of rebelling again.

After all, they were not enough to threaten the court by taking it alone.

But if we join forces in one place, we can reach at least 60% to 70% of the Shun Army's heyday.

This force is enough to threaten the imperial court.

Human desires are constantly expanding.

Perhaps now Li Guo and others have a marquis' title, which is enough. But when their strength is close to the court, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have the intention of replacing it.

Therefore, in a short period of time, Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu must not have the opportunity to join forces.

It's not suitable for Jiangxi either.

First of all, Jiangxi is not the forefront of the anti-Qing Dynasty.

Such a sharp knife naturally needs to be used in the most important position, and it is too wasteful to put it in Huguang.

Secondly, Hao Yaoqi has already invested in Yuan Jixian's account.

Hao Yaoqi was considered a traitor by Tian Jianxiu and other generals.

If they continue to work together, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no internal strife or even fire.

Therefore, it is best not to arrange Shunjun in places where Hao Yaoqi is available.

As for Shandong, it is a good choice, but Gao Jie is in the limelight now, and it is difficult for the court to mediate if there is a dispute over territory with the generals of the Shun Army.

After thinking about it, Zhu Cilang found that there was no perfect way.

In the end, Lu Zhenfei, the Minister of War, gave Zhu Cilang a suggestion--and let Wen Anzhi take the remnants of the Shun Army to Sichuan.

Of course, the Ming army is actually controlling the Chongqing area, and the entire western Sichuan is under the control of Zhang Xianzhong.

Wen Anzhi replaced Chen Shiqi as the governor of Sichuan, and his main task was to defend Chongqing and regain Chengdu.

The former must be done, while the latter is optional. It is best to be able to do it naturally. If it really doesn't work, you can put it aside first.

Originally, Zhu Cilang wanted to rely on Guizhou Duke Mu Tianbo to lead Yunnan soldiers into Sichuan to restrain Zhang Xianzhong, thereby alleviating the pressure on Chongqing. However, this method can only delay Zhang Xianzhong for a while. Moreover, it is unknown whether the Guizhou soldiers entering Sichuan will cause the She'an Rebellion to break out in advance.

If this action really leads to the outbreak of the She'an Rebellion early, it would be too much of a loss.

After comprehensive consideration, Zhu Cilang still believes that the risk of transferring Guizhou troops into Sichuan is too high and it is not a wise move.

In comparison, it was much better to order Wen Anzhi to lead the remaining troops of the Shun Army who had just surrendered to Chongqing to garrison against Zhang Xianzhong.

First of all, this army was "fresh".

There was no such army in the original plan, so it was useless.

Secondly, the combat effectiveness of the remaining troops of the Shun Army is not worse than that of the Guizhou soldiers, and it is even worse than that of the Guizhou soldiers.

Then the actual gains of the Shun Army to reinforce Chongqing will obviously be greater, and it is possible that even Chengdu can be taken down in one breath.

As for Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng both came from peasant army, there is no need to worry too much about whether the Shun Army generals will release water in front of the formation.

First of all, the honeymoon period of the Western Army and the Shun Army had long passed.

Later, in order to compete for the world, he even turned against each other for a time.

There is only one throne for the emperor. Zhang Xianzhong became the emperor, but Li Zicheng could not do it. The same is true.

At this point, the conflict between the two armies of Xishun is no smaller than that between the Western Army and the Ming court.

As long as Zhu Cixuan could give Shunjun fair treatment and let them see hope, he believed that the generals of Shunjun were willing to work hard for the court.

As for Wen Anzhi's ability, there is no need to doubt it.

During the original history, Wen Anzhi was appointed as the Sichuan Supervisor, he completed the task assigned by Emperor Yongli well, and tied the originally loose "Thirteen Families" together and fought against the Qing Dynasty until the last moment.

The current situation is obviously much better than in the Yongli period, and Wen Anzhi has no reason to mess up this job.

This was a great opportunity for Wen An and the surrendered generals of the Shun Army.

Wen Anzhi needs this opportunity to prove his ability. The generals of Shunjun need this opportunity to prove his loyalty.

...

...

The emperor issued an imperial edict and ordered Wen Anzhi to lead the remaining troops of the Shun Army to reinforce Chongqing.

This imperial edict suddenly became an uproar.

Under the leadership of the Censor of Kedao and the Censor of the Censorate, a group of court officials submitted memorials to rebuke the emperor's irresponsible actions.

In the eyes of the ministers, the emperor is the example of the people and should put filial piety first. The Shun Army is the culprit for attacking Shenjing and forcing Emperor Lie to death. Today, the son not only forgave them for their identity as an official army, but also entrusted them with important tasks to reinforce Chongqing.

This is simply contrary to the way of the Son of Man and the King, breaking their bottom line!

They chose to speak out in a straightforward manner, even if they were beaten up for this, they would be beheaded.

Kong said Chengren, Meng said to seek righteousness, for the sake of the way in their hearts, they did not mind the five steps of blood splashing!

Zhu Cilang did not expect that the reaction of all officials would be so strong.

In his opinion, it would be enough to just push all the responsibility of Shunjun to Li Zicheng.

The debt can be written off as Li Zicheng dies.

But now it seems that he has taken things simple.

People in this era, especially the scholar-official class, regard filial piety more than anything else. In Zhu Cilang's consciousness, only the evil spirit of Li Zicheng was killed. But in the eyes of the scholar-official officials, all the generals and even soldiers of the Shun Army were accomplices and sinners who forced Emperor Lie to death.

These sinners cannot be forgiven and must be clear about the punishment of the law to thank the world.

The monarch and ministers had serious conflicts on this issue. Zhu Cilang kept all the memorials submitted, which completely angered all the officials. They decided to plan a grand action to persuade the emperor!
