When I came to the woods where Liu Zeqing's troops were stationed, Liu Zeqing's troops had already arranged in line as they opened and told them. I saw that the 10,000 people in front of me almost fell down. This was the army! It was similar to the refugees who fled to famine. If they weren't wearing the Ming military uniforms, I would have thought they would have encountered African refugees!

As I was watching and walking towards them, a figure suddenly jumped in front of me, shouting words like Long Live the Emperor. Seeing that his armor was quite distinct, he should be a general.

Zhang Kai saw the visitor and whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, this person is Liu Zeqing's deputy general, named Li Huaifang. The old slave can bring the people back thanks to his cooperation. The emperor wants to win over this person!"

I immediately understood Zhang Kai's words. I said Zhang Kai could not take down Liu Zeqing's men so easily! It turned out that there was someone who wanted to replace Liu Zeqing! This person seemed to be a person who was greedy for wealth, "Your name is Li Huaifang! Plain!"

Li Huaifang stood up and smiled and looked at the emperor humbly, "Your Majesty, Liu Zeqing's head is dead, and he has been killed by the general and General Zhang. Come and take Liu Zeqing's head." A soldier handed a head to Li Huaifang, and Li Huaifang held up his hands, "The head of Liu Zeqing is here, please check it out."

I looked at a head in front of me, and felt a little scared. In addition, I felt that Li Huaifang was not as simple as I thought. At least Liu Zeqing would control Liu's men and her men as soon as she went there, and she still had some tricks. "Okay! I will remember your contribution. From now on, you will command Liu Zeqing's men. I will give you the general officer and will give you another reward in the future. Let me see your children!"

Li Huaifang was quite proud when he heard the emperor's words. It seemed that his days of development were coming. He knew very well that among the four towns, Liu Zeqing's troops were the most powerful and nothing was there. But after he heard the conversation between Zhang Kai and Liu Zeqing, he became a bad intention. He knew that the emperor needed a loyal general the most. If he seized this opportunity to show goodwill to the emperor, it would be a great fortune. Maybe he could also win his wife and son in the future. So he made a quick decision and immediately expressed his loyalty to Zhang Kai.

I really wanted to cry when I looked at the soldiers in front of me. No wonder Liu Zeqing was defeated all the way that day. This army could not have any combat effectiveness. It is estimated that Dorgon's Eight Banners Iron Cavalry could kill most of them with one charge. I heard that in ancient times, the southerners were not as strong as the northerners. Liu Zeqing's troops should be Shandong soldiers. Li Huaifang's words were a bit Shandong. But I couldn't tell where they were strong! They could only be described as the old, weak, sick and disabled.

I looked at Li Huaifang behind me, "Did these people always follow Liu Zeqing? I think some of them are not young!"

Li Huaifang nodded, "Back to the emperor, these people have been following Liu Zeqing and Mo General for many years, and most of them are the clans of the Liu and Li clans."

I suddenly thought of why Li Huaifang could control these people. In ancient times, I agree with the concept of clans. I think more of these people were the surname Li than Liu. "Li Huaifang, you can let these people, over 45 years old and under 16 years old, stand there." I pointed to the West, and it is better to direct them through Li Huaifang now.

Li Huaifang was stunned for a moment, and immediately followed the order. He passed it down. Good guy, there were two or three thousand people standing to the west. I asked people with families to stand to the east, and then two or three thousand people stood out. Now there were only more than seven thousand people standing there. Finally, I told Li Huaifang that those who had never done such acts as killing and looting ordinary people and robbing stood in front, and asked them to supervise each other to see if there were anyone who lies. What I mean was to choose some people among them as my personal soldiers.

What disappointed me was that in the seven thousand people, less than a hundred people dared to stand up, which shows that it is very common for soldiers and bandits to be a family. Only then did I ask Li Huaifang to announce my identity.

"Brothers! Do you know who is standing in front of you? He is the son of our Ming Dynasty. Come and comfort the brothers..." Li Huaifang said very sensational. It seems that he is not doing well in the war, but his words are very good.

As Li Huaifang said, the people on the other side immediately became turbulent and whispered to each other. Maybe I didn't expect that the emperor, the emperor, would appear in front of them! I cleared my throat, "Everyone is quiet, listen to me." I almost shouted, and felt that I was not confident enough to shout to more than 10,000 people. Maybe the name of my emperor is still loud, and people's voices gradually became smaller and finally became very quiet.

I remember the words that open up and win people's hearts, and now the most immediate thing to win people's hearts is definitely the interests. I came to those who stood in the west and looked at them. I felt a little sad. A veteran across from me may be in his fifties and sixties. Why did he join the army? Isn't it just to have a bite of food? I saw him hugging a teenage child, "Old man, is this child a relative with you?"

The old man never expected the emperor to talk to him, and his lips trembled, "This is the old man's grandson. The old man's son was killed by the golden dog, and the family was gone. The old man and his grandson had no choice but to go there, so how could they eat? I'm not afraid that the emperor would blame him. The old man has also been a soldier of the King of Rebellion!"

I nodded. What he said was indeed the case. Nowadays, these lowest-level soldiers are just three meals a day. Whoever can give them food will work for. It seems that this old man is quite straightforward.

I looked back again, and they were pale and thin, old and young. I helped the old man up and cleared his throat, "You all listen. From tomorrow on, you will not be soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. I will give you twenty taels of silver each, a cow, and ten acres of land. What else do you have to ask me now, and I will try to satisfy you."

My words were like throwing a bombshell in the crowd. People were stunned at first and then immediately furious. The old man in front of him looked at me in disbelief, "Master! Did the old man hear that wrong? Is this true?"

I shouted, "As long as you listen to me and obey my orders, you will get more than them." My words were said to the people in the middle and east. I believe that they will obey my orders now and listen to Li Huaifang's orders. After all, this condition is too good! Almost they never dreamed of it.
