The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty re-recognized an Emperor Chongzhen. At this time, Chongzhen was decisive in his killing and no longer feared the same as before. This made these civil officials silent. Now the Long Sui Master is no longer the Long Sui Master who let them control it.

"No one speaks, okay, I will just say a few words. I doubt people don't have to use people. Since I hand over the military affairs of the seven provinces to Sun Chuanting, I will believe him. No matter what Sun Chuanting does, I will continue to support him. If someone has ulterior motives and falsely accuses Sun Chuanting for no reason, I will never give up!"

Chongzhen said the righteous words and ruthlessness, and even he admired himself. I am not a kind person. Since I believed Sun Chuanting, I will continue to do so.

However, reality soon gave Emperor Chongzhen a heavy blow. Soon, Chongzhen would be slapped in the face. Because Sun Chuanting was about to set off a bloody storm at the place where he was in office.

Kaifeng City was relieved, and Li Hao and others were finally able to return to Beijing to report their lives. However, Li Yan did not agree to return to Beijing with them.

Zhu Cilang's original words were to take Li Yan back to the capital. If he refused, he would tie him up. If this person surrendered to the bandits, he could wait for an opportunity to eradicate him.

The Jinyiwei has always been neat and neat in his work, but at this time Li Hao was in trouble: "Mr. Li, don't make things difficult for us anymore. His Highness the Crown Prince said that you want to bring you back to the capital. You should follow us. When you see the crown prince when you arrive in the capital, you will decide whether to leave or stay."

Li Yanyi bowed: "Master Qianhu, can you tolerate me for three days?"

"I wonder if Mr. Li has any difficult things to do?" asked Guan Qing, the little flag next to Li Hao.

Li Yan nodded: "I want to go to Jigong Mountain to persuade Hong Niang to surrender."

Li Hao was stunned: "What."

"Miss Hong hates the government. Although there is an emperor's pardon, she may not be willing to surrender to the court. Unless I personally go up the mountain and persuade her to surrender."

Li Hao was silent. For them, this was a matter of extravagance. After all, the purpose of their Jinyiwei's trip was to take Li Yan to Beijing.

The follower Lishi Fangtan of the Jinyiwei Guard whispered: "Sir, your highness means to let us fight quickly and decide quickly. It is not advisable to have any trouble at this time. Jigong Mountain is the nest of bandits. If Mr. Li cannot persuade him to surrender, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

That's right, if Li Yan goes to persuade Hong Madam to surrender and continue to rebel with Hong Madam, then their mission will be completely failed. How to explain to the prince when he returns to Beijing?

In fact, Li Yan still had a little hesitation in his heart. He learned from Li Hao that the crown prince was indeed a talented person. However, the Ming officialdom he saw and heard was really heartbreaking. Li Yan was not sure whether he could persuade Hong Niang to surrender to the court when he went to Jigong Mountain.

"If Lord Qianhu refuses, I, Li Yan, will not agree to go to Beijing with you."

OK, this is considered a threat. Li Hao thought about it, and then bowed: "Okay, I believe in your character of Mr. Li. Let's go to Jigong Mountain with you and then turn back to Beijing."

Li Yan was moved. At least Li Hao, the Jinyiwei Qianjia, was different from the officials he met. This person was not a mediocre person. He nodded and replied: "Thank you!"

Xinyang Jigong Mountain is located at the junction of Henan and Hubei provinces 38 kilometers south of Xinyang City, Henan Province. It is located between Wusheng Pass, Pingjing Pass and Jiuli Pass.

Wusheng Pass is one of the nine famous passes. It is like a stone lock, which integrates the Dabie Mountains and Tongbai Mountains, forming a natural barrier that stretches thousands of miles between the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. Its strategic position is very important.

Pingjing Pass was called Mingzha in ancient times, also known as Hen, and Xuanzha. Shicheng Mountain was one of the nine barriers in the world in ancient times. It is located at the junction of Wusheng Guanxi and Hubei and Henan. Xinying Highway passes through it. The terrain here is dangerous, with mountains on both sides confronting each other and the road is narrow and obstructing. It has been a strategic location in the Central Plains and a major transportation route in the north and south. The Ming court set up a station here.

Jiuli Pass was called Dasui Pass in the Spring and Autumn Period, and later also known as Huangxian Pass, Guangxi Pass, and Baiyan Pass. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this Pass belonged to Yingshan County, Hubei, and later changed to Jiuli Pass in the Song Dynasty. The Ming court inspector was placed here. The pass was adjacent to Dawu in Hubei, with two mountains standing in a row, and the Tiancheng Canyon, with narrow ends and wide in the middle, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was a must-fight for military strategists in all dynasties.

Jigong Mountain is between these three passes, and Hongniangzi pulled up the team here. Jigong Mountain is beautiful and is one of the famous summer resorts. It is known as "Qingyu and Yu, and the air pressure of Songheng". In history, it is known as the four major summer resorts in China, together with Lushan, Beidaihe and Moganshan.

The fact that Hong Niangzi was able to establish his own base in the cracks between the Ming army shows how incompetent the government was.

Unlike Li Zicheng who was wandering around and committing crimes, Hongniangzi directly established her own base in Jigong Mountain. She recruited poor people from all over the country and brought up a team of nearly a thousand people in Jigong Mountain.

The Hongniang did not have Li Zicheng's ambitions, and she did not conquer the cities and lands. She did not conduct indiscriminate attacks like Li Zicheng when dealing with wealthy businessmen, landlords, gentry and local governments.

Wherever Li Zicheng passed, he should rob and kill any rich people. And the Hong Niangzi had her own right and wrong. When she captured Luoshan County, she only killed 18 local evil people. She did not rob other rich people in the county.

This is the biggest difference between Hong Niangzi and Li Zicheng. She will not loot a city without any difference. She just opened the granary of the government to provide relief to the people. Then, she led a team to Jigong Mountain.

On the mountain, she also led her subordinates to cultivate the mountainous land and tried her best to be self-sufficient. Although she was not many of her subordinates, she had strong combat power. Li Zicheng had long wanted to win her over.

At this time, the Hongniang was wandering around Jigong Mountain in a hurry. Because she learned that Li Yan was escorted to Kaifeng Mansion and was planning to bring her subordinates into the city to rob the prison.

Unexpectedly, before she could take action, the mountain came down to report that Li Yan was here.

"Madam Hong, Mr. Li, Mr. Li is here!" A young man at the foot of the mountain ran up the mountain panting with a big knife.

The Hongniang was stunned at first, then she was overjoyed: "He, how did he come out? Is he okay? Are he injured?"

She was a single woman, and suddenly she cared for Li Yan so much. She was right in caring, but she seemed to be too concerned. The subordinates in the village looked at each other. Could it be that the Hongniang liked Mr. Li? They were both handsome and beautiful, and were born to be a couple.

Perhaps he felt that he was too enthusiastic, and the Hongniang looked red: "I mean, I mean Mr. Li has a life-saving grace to us, how are others?"

When attacking Luoshan County, they were almost ambushed by officers and soldiers. If Li Yan had not been to the city, Hong Niangzi and others would have been wiped out by the government long ago.
