As the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong and General Pingnan of the Daxi Kingdom, Ai Nengqi was very loyal to Zhang Xianzhong.
What's more, in the past ten years, the Western Army and the Ming Army had fought countless times.
Their hatred was as deep as the sea, so even if they faced a desperate situation, At that time, Ai Nengqi had never thought about surrendering, so when he heard his son Ai Chengye's suggestion to surrender, he couldn't help but became furious and cursed endlessly.
Ai Chengye lowered his head and listened to his father's scolding.
When Ai Nengqi's scolding stopped, he raised his head to explain.
"Father, it's not that my son is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is thinking about the lives of these more than ten thousand brothers and tens of thousands of women and children.
The situation is like this, and the only way to fight the Ming army is to overthrow, but then the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, women and children will be at risk.
When the Ming Dynasty scholar Yang Sichang commanded the Ming army from several provinces to encircle and suppress him, even his majesty surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
In the past year, he still raised the flag of righteousness and established the Daxi Kingdom.
"Ai Chengye persuaded him earnestly.
"You mean we are pretending to surrender?"
Ai Nengqi's voice lowered.
Ai Chengye nodded: "Since we can't fight and escape, we just surrender.
We can negotiate terms with the Ming army.
As long as they don't break up our army, when the storm is over and the Ming army retreats, we can't raise the flag to rebel again."
That’s it.”
"But will the Ming army believe it?"
Ai Nengqi said hesitantly, "Will they let us remain in the army?"
"So what if we don't give in, even if we don't have an army, as long as our father and son can survive, we can just wait for the opportunity to escape.
We can escape to Sichuan to join Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang and the others."
Ai Chengye said, "We surrendered , the brothers and their families below will be able to survive, and we, father and son, can be considered worthy of them."
"Okay."
Ainengqi was finally persuaded.
In Yanping Mansion, the Western bandits were about to be encircled and annihilated, and Wang Yin also moved the governor's headquarters from Fuzhou to Yanping.
As soon as he arrived in Yanping, he received news that Ai Nengqi had asked to surrender.
"Haha, whatever comes to mind, congratulations to the Superintendent for finally defeating the Western Bandit."
Qian Fenglin laughed.
Wang Yin frowned and said, "Ai Nengqi has surrendered.
What will happen to our plan?"
Qian Fenglin said with a smile: "Ai Nengqi surrenders, our plan will be simpler."
As he spoke, he leaned into Wang Yin's ear and whispered softly.
Wang Yin's face changed, and he took a deep breath after hearing what Qian Fenglin said, "If we do this, the consequences will be too serious, and the trouble will be too big."
Qian Fenglin said coldly: "We are just going to make a big fuss.
Only when the world is turned upside down will Chongzhen know how much he weighs.
After the earth is turned upside down, the King of Qi will be able to calmly deal with the situation.
From then on, the entire Ming Dynasty will be the King of Qi."
It's ours After this battle, no one in the world can stop King Qi from ascending to the throne, and all resistance will be swept away."
Wang Yin sighed and finally nodded slightly.
After Ai Nengqi asked for surrender, the Ming troops approaching from two directions finally stopped their attack.
Wang Yin, the governor of the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, sent an order, ordering Ai Nengqi to come to Yanping in person to surrender, and then discuss the details of the surrender.
Ai Nengqi naturally did not want to go to the Ming army in Yanping alone.
He was afraid of falling into the Ming army's plan.
"If he sincerely surrenders, Ai Nengqi should go to Yanping in person to ask for surrender, otherwise it will be a delaying strategy."
This was the reply of the Ming army.
Then, the two armies of the Ming Army continued to advance, reaching ten miles outside Yong'an City.

They fought several times.
The Western Army was defeated one after another and could only retreat in the small Yong'an City.
Seeing the deep siege of the Ming army and the imminent destruction of Yong'an, under the strong pressure of the Ming army, Ai Nengqi finally lost strength and finally compromised.
After leaving the army under the command of his son Ai Chengye, Ai Nengqi went to Yanping Mansion alone to meet with the commander Wang Yin.
Wang Yin ordered Qian Fenglin, the governor of Fujian, to take full responsibility and negotiate with Ai Nengqi.
"My more than 10,000 brothers have been fighting for many years and can do nothing but fight.
Therefore, I hope that the imperial court can keep them and give them a bite to eat.
I guarantee that they will be loyal to the imperial court and fight for the imperial court."
Ai Neng felt uneasy in his heart.
Qi made his request.
Keep the army in hand so that you can have a chance to rise again later.
Qian Fenglin looked at Ai Nengqi with a half-smile, and saw his intention at a glance, "Do you have any other requests?
General Ai can put them forward as well."
"No, as long as the imperial court can retain our army, my father and son are willing to fight for the imperial court.
Now that the Ming Dynasty is in constant war, it is the time to employ people."
Ai Nengqi said with emotion.
Qian Fenglin nodded: "Okay, I understand your request.
I will report it to the Supervisor and then give you a reply."
After saying that, Qian Fenglin went out, while Ai Nengqi was placed in the posthouse, surrounded by Ming troops heavily guarding him.
Ai Nengqi waited with hope, and seemed to see the hope of successful surrender from Qian Fenglin's attitude.
However, for the next few days, no one negotiated with him anymore, and Qian Fenglin was nowhere to be seen.
Ai Nengqi finally became anxious.
He knew that he had been deceived by the Ming army, and he was extremely worried about the situation in Yong'an.
Because he knew that there was not much food left in Yong'an City, and the army might collapse at any time.
In Yong'an City, seeing his father never return, the Ming army still surrounded Yong'an tightly.
The food in the city was almost exhausted.
Ai Chengye was so anxious that he sent people out of the city to discuss with the Ming army and asked the Ming army to retreat.
"Retreat, it's impossible to retreat until you surrender," Jin Shenghuan, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Army, said with a sneer.
"But my general is negotiating with your governor.
We are already planning to surrender.
We also ask the officers and soldiers to retreat and not to force too much."
The person sent by Ai Chengye prayed.
"Before the outcome of the negotiations comes out, our army will not retreat even a step unless you surrender unconditionally.
Tell Ai Chengye that if he still cares about Ai Nengqi's life, if he still thinks about the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, Life, immediately leave the city and surrender," Jin Shenghuan said coldly.
So, seeing that he had run out of food and his father was gone forever, Ai Chengye finally surrendered as he was desperate.
The Yongan City Gate opened, and more than 10,000 soldiers of the Western Army who threw away their weapons and armor walked out of the city gate and assembled at the location designated by the Ming Army.
Under the command of Jin Xin, the Ming army quickly entered Yong'an City and completely occupied the city.
After receiving the news that Yong'an had surrendered and Ai Chengye had surrendered, Qian Fenglin appeared in front of Ai Nengqi again.
But now Ai Nengqi's face is filled with despair and he can no longer raise any conditions.
He has lost all his chips.
"Don't worry, General Ai.
Since you surrendered voluntarily, the imperial court will forgive you for your past mistakes.
The Superintendent has also agreed.
The ten thousand men under your command will not be disbanded, but will fight with the thirty thousand Ming army."
You will be mixed together, and General you will be appointed as the commander-in-chief of Fujian.

After other armies withdraw from Fujian, you will lead the troops to garrison in Fujian.
"Qian Fenglin's words surprised Ai Nengqi.
He did not expect such a turn of events
