    Although I temporarily rejected the suggestion of the dog legs to instigate myself to become emperor, the persuasion of the officials of the fat army also reminded Fatty Lu of two things. First, the dignitaries of the fat army are already very dissatisfied with the current political situation.  He is anxious to consolidate his vested interests, and the second is that Fatty Lu must speed up his efforts to appease the middle forces he can win over. Otherwise, the political value of Old Man Wu's traitorous edict will really expire and become invalid.

    With this in mind, on the second day of the first lunar month, Fatty Lu summoned Wang Pingfan's deputy Wu Zhen and Wang Pingfan's adopted son at the Desheng Gate in the northwest of Beijing's inner city, taking the opportunity of condolences to the Fatty Army and the family members of Lao Pingxi Palace.  Wang Jizhen made a promise to them face to face, pointing to the Desheng Gate under her feet and swearing in public, unless the majestic Desheng Gate collapsed on its own, she would never usurp the throne and become emperor!  If you repent and break your promise, the sky will hate it, the earth will hate it, and you will die under swords and arrows!

    Finally, Fatty Lu announced that he would give Wang Fuchen and Wang Pingfan the two houses in the Zan'er Hutong next to Deshengmen, so that after their families entered Beijing, they would personally monitor whether they reneged on their promises and cheated!  ¡ª¡ªTo be precise, it is to monitor whether Fatty Lu has sent someone to dig up Tade Shengmen to create momentum for himself to seek rebellion and usurp the throne.

    It is true that Wang Pingfan and Wang Fuchen are loyal to Old Man Wu, but they are not from the Wu clan, and their hostility, suspicion and suspicion towards Fatty Lu are naturally not as big and deep as that of the Wu clan.  Wu Zhen and Wang Jizhen immediately felt relieved, and they agreed to urge Wang Pingfan and Wang Fuchen to accept the canonization of Fatty Lu and lead the army to surrender.  For his loyalty, he urged the Wu clan to lead their troops to surrender as soon as possible, and join forces with Zhou Dongliang and the first loyal minister Lu Fatzi to exterminate Guo Zhuangtu's rebels.

    Of course, it was easy for Fatty Lu to swear in front of old Wu¡¯s cunning hardcore lackeys, and he said it beautifully and happily, but the few fatty Lu¡¯s lackeys who were present at the time were very anxious, and just sent Wu Zhen and Wang Jizhen away  Then, the lackeys challenged Fatty Lu together, accusing Fatty Lu of saying such a thing and making such an oath¡ªeven if he should not swear in the future, when Fatty Lu usurps the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the future, he will make an extra infamy out of thin air.

    "What's the rush? I just swore that I would not usurp the throne, and I didn't swear that my descendants would not usurp the throne." Fatty Lu's answer made the lackeys heave a sigh of relief. For a while, they suspected that Fatty Lu was planning to follow Wei Wu and Zhou Wen, and that he would not be the emperor.  Son, but Fatty Lu's next words made the running dogs dumbfounded.

    Fatty Lu said with a smile like this, "Besides, if the fate is in Gu, and God must let Gu be the emperor, then this Deshengmen will naturally be overthrown by God."  ¡ª¡ªYou can¡¯t doubt that the fate cannot belong to Fatty Lu, can you?

    But not to mention, in this era of superstitious superstition and chaotic gods and respect for etiquette, Fatty Lu's casual oath really received some results. When Wu Zhen brought the news back to Xi'an, Wang Pingfan, who had long been willing to surrender, no longer  Hesitating, he immediately sent envoys to contact the fat army generals Han Daren and Xie Chang stationed in Tongguan, and asked Han Daren and Xie Chang to send troops to take over Xi'an, and then followed Ma Bao to lead more than 40,000 people from his troops to join the fat army and accept the reorganization of the fat army.  Ping Fan himself led his family members and important generals to Beijing to accept the canonization of Fatty Lu face to face. The overjoyed Fatty Lu went out of the city thirty miles to greet him without mentioning it.

    There is also Wang Fuchen, since Wang Pingfan has surrendered to the Fatty Army, there is no danger for Wang Fuchen's rear, but fortunately, Wang Fuchen has broken through Lanzhou at this time, beheaded the hardcore traitor Zhang Yong, and captured Zhao Liangdong and his sons Zhao Hongcan and Zhao Hongxie alive  , Completed Fatty Lu's entrustment to him.  With peace in mind, Wang Fuchen ordered Zhao Liangdong and his son to be escorted to the capital to dedicate to Fatty Lu, and at the same time carefully put forward the conditions of surrender, using the pretext of the Ordos Mongolian tribe's rebellion and Geldan's eye-catching eyes, and hoped that the army would not be reorganized. Wang Fuchen himself stayed in Lanzhou  , only sent his son and his family to Beijing as hostages.

    Fatty Lu's answer was beyond Wang Fuchen's expectations. He not only agreed to Wang Fuchen's request not to reorganize and stay in Lanzhou, but also offered to keep Wang Fuchen's family members in Gansu under the pretext of the war and the danger of the road, and named Wang Fuchen Gan Ning.  The governor is also in charge of Ningxia. At the same time, Fatty Lu added 10,000 troops to Wang Fuchen's team with a swipe of the pen, allowing Wang Fuchen to have 43,000 troops in Gansu.  When the news was sent back to Lanzhou, Wang Fuchen was overjoyed, and immediately led the army to change flags, announcing that he would accept the command of Fatty Lu.

    Of course, Fatty Lu's decision caused a lot of controversy. Many civil and military officials of the Fatty Army believed that Wang Fuchen was capricious, and he did not withdraw military power or reorganize the army.  According to Bao's strategy, he transferred Wang Fuchen back to Beijing to listen to him, reorganized Wang Fuchen's team, and put the reliable fat generals in charge of Gansu and Ningxia.

    "Being a person and doing things, you must not be born  "Yao Qisheng nodded in agreement, and then asked: "My lord, do you want to give him an edict in advance like you did to Geng Jingzhong for Shang Zhixin, as long as he is willing to surrender, surrender the army and land, and give him a free time?"  Raise it?  And your father-in-law Shang Kexi, what should we do?  "

    "No!" Fatty Lu refused with a wave of his hand, and snorted coldly, "I raised Geng Jingzhong with Xianjuehoulu because Geng Jingzhong had truly fought against the Qing and killed Mangou, and he deserved credit for his compatriots and China!  What did Shang Zhixin, the child monk, Kexi, have ever done? Donated one million taels of silver to Kang Mazi as military pay, feigned surrender to the Great Zhou court to protect the traitors and Man Gou in Guangdong, deliberately let go of Man Gou in Guangzhou Mite City, and deliberately did not clean them  Hard-core traitors in the local government and the army in Guangdong, which one of these crimes deserves death?!"

    "Tell Li Tianzhi, after the capture of Guangzhou, the Pingnan Palace will not be left behind! All property and land will be confiscated! Don't give me face!" Fatty Lu said darkly: "If Li Tianzhi can't get rid of the old feelings, you can take my  Give the massacre order to Zeng Yangxing or Ma Jiuyu, let Zeng Yangxing and Ma Jiuyu avenge their comrade Bai Xianzhong!"
