    Nanjing, the Forbidden City.

    Fei Ruhe handed a letter to Zhao Han: "Your Majesty, this is from Li Zicheng. Cover it with mud and say that only His Majesty can read it."

    Zhao Han cut open the mud seal with a knife, opened the letter to read, and couldn't help smiling.

    This letter was obviously written by Li Zicheng himself, and the words and sentences are very colloquial.

    "His Majesty the Emperor, I, Li Zicheng, have been fighting for half my life. Over the past few years, my old injuries have often flared up, and I can hardly walk in pain. My nephew Li Guo also died of illness, and my own son survived. He will be five years old this year"

    "The land in Hetao was originally very good. It's just that the weather is getting colder and the grain harvest is not as good as before. There are Mongolian Tartars everywhere. After conquering a few, they will rebel again in a blink of an eye. I led the troops to kill  Several times, all the Mongolian leaders in Hetao were killed. According to the words of the military adviser, they learned from the Manchurian Tartars and weaved flags for the herdsmen under their rule, and selected the prestigious herdsmen as the banner owners.  many"

    "Right now, Hetao is all my territory, and the Khalkha Tartars in Mobei don't dare to go south from Yinshan Mountain to grab things. However, there are still not enough people in the Han Dynasty, and Jining has been defeated several times. It is easy to fight and takes trouble.  My territory can't get any bigger, and there will be troubles"

    "I originally planned to go to Mobei. I led my troops out of the Yin Mountains for more than 20 miles, and then returned to Hetao in despair. There are Gobi deserts everywhere, so poor that birds can't shit, and crops can't grow. I want to fight Mobei.  Mongolian Tartars, you must prepare enough food and grass, or you will definitely starve to death halfway. I am trapped in Hetao, to the north is the Gobi, and to the west is the desert."

    "I can only fight to the east, once, and once. The number of soldiers is less and less, and the number of livestock is more and more. There are not enough Han people, so we can only let Mongolian herdsmen serve as soldiers. If this continues, I will almost become a Mongolian sweat. Now I  He is very rich, and there are too many war horses to use up. If the emperor does not have enough war horses, he can send people to Hetao to buy horses"

    "I don't know how many years I can live. My son is still young. After I die, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress those old brothers. The life of orphans and widows will be very difficult. I can't kill all the old brothers. It's not like that."  Be cruel, secondly, Hetao is going to be in chaos"

    "I really want to surrender this time. I don't want anything. I just want the emperor to say a word. Allow me to go back to my hometown in Shaanxi to settle down and share some land for family business. You can take the wealth and food I have saved. The emperor under my command  Buwu, and this Hetao land, you can take it, the emperor. Just leave me some family money, and I will be a rich man when I return to my hometown."

    "My son is smart, the emperor wants to allow him to study and to be an official through the imperial examination"

    After reading this letter, Zhao Han couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Li Zicheng is really old, otherwise he won't give up easily. He should not be able to ride a horse soon. You should also read this letter."

    Fei Ruhe took the letter, read it and said: "Li Zicheng cannot be left in Shaanxi, the whole family must be kept in captivity in the capital."

    "No need," Zhao Han shook his head and said, "He is sincere enough to hand over his territory and army. I dare not even let him go home, and I want to keep his whole family in captivity. Doesn't the dignified emperor look like a small belly?"

    Fei Ruhe scratched his head and smiled, "Hehe, that's right."

    Zhao Han said: "Li Zicheng once resisted stubbornly and committed many murders. It is reasonable to throw him to Taiwan to deal with the Shengfan like Zhang Xianzhong did. But Li Zicheng took the entire Hetao and offered land and soldiers. This is a way to expand the territory.  He wants to take his wife and children back to his hometown, and all of these can be agreed. The title should also be given, and it¡¯s fine to be a marquis. Many generals in the Datong Army are not convinced. Give Li Zicheng a count, and give him a count in the name of his hometown  .¡±

    Fei Ruhe said: "This old thing is lucky. After so many years of rebellion, he can finally get an earl."

    Zhao Han called the cabinet members and showed them Li Zicheng's personal letter.

    All the cabinet ministers were overjoyed, and they all praised him, and the soldiers won Hetao without bloodshed. Who would not be happy about this kind of great joy?

    Zhao Han said: "Make arrangements. Let the Ministry of Rites engrave the earl's seal, and then select envoys from Honglu Temple to go to Hetao to complete this matter. Generals under Li Zicheng's command should also be comforted. Those who are willing to return to their hometowns to live in peace can  Allow them to release their military power and return to their hometown. Then order the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion to let Cao Bianjiao take over Li Zicheng's troops. Li Zicheng's soldiers eliminated the old and the weak, leaving only 8,000 people. Cao Bianjiao brought 5,000 soldiers to go, and the two merged to form  The Fourth Cavalry Division of the Datong Army. This army will be responsible for guarding Hetao from now on."

    Those generals of Li Zicheng could not kill indiscriminately, nor could they stay in Hetao. They must be thrown back to their hometowns, so that they can truly receive and control the army.

    After arranging things, the cabinet minister bowed and retreated, Zhao Han took Fei Ruhe to the Imperial Garden to meet Fei Rulan and Fei Rumei

    Guihua City (Hohhot).

    Winding outside the city?Emperor Zhao is many.  "

    Li Zicheng waved his hand: "I'm definitely better than Chongzhen in governing the country. Compared with Emperor Zhao, I still can't compare. I know my own skills and don't talk about those big words. I used to underestimate the Mongols. I always thought that if you bring troops here, you can defeat them."  The country was founded on a large piece of land. But in the past few years, only Hetao has been beaten. The husband told the story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but it was not Huo Qubing. Even if it was Huo Qubing, he couldn¡¯t open it on the grassland.  With the cooperation of other troops, he alone cannot seal Langjuxu."

    "Your Majesty sees things very clearly." Niu Jinxing could only agree.

    Li Zicheng rubbed his swollen kneecaps and said, "I have no other ideas now, I just want to go back to my hometown and get some good fields to grow wheat. It's best if the government doesn't come to bully you, let me be a rich man in the countryside. That's even worse  Mobei Mongol Tartars, leave it to Emperor Zhao to fight slowly."</div&gt
