CHAPTER XXIX
"Haha, King Shunyi, don't you know that time I led 5,000 cavalry with the emperor, one-on-one, and killed the 50,000 cavalry of the Ming army without leaving a piece of armor! That's 50,000 people! The majesty of my golden boy made the Ming army lose their fear! Haha" Alberta was very majestic, boasting about his achievements with Zhao Zhilong. I forgot that Zhao Zhilong was also Han.
"What the envoy said is that my golden soldiers and horses are definitely invincible in the world. Zhao Zhilong laughed beside him.
Now Zhao Zhilong's heart is bitter, although the Tartars have crowned him king, but he now knows that these Han people, even if they are princes, are not as good as a dog in the eyes of the Manchurians. Zhao Zhilong also knew that he had no way to retreat now, even if he was only treated as a dog in the Tartars, he would still be alive, and if he fell into the hands of the imperial court, he would inevitably be stabbed in the West Market!
"Hehe... Honorable envoy, I wonder how long it will take for Prince Rui to arrive with reinforcements?" Zhao Zhilong kept asking for reinforcements next to him.
"Eh, don't worry, the reinforcements will be here soon, let's continue to drink, come, I will toast you." Alberta still kept comforting Zhao Zhilong. But there was not a word about when the reinforcements would arrive.
"What are you doing?" Outside the door, Zhao Zhilong's guards saw that the guerrillas were all bringing their own soldiers and coming towards the hall with weapons in their hands, blocking their way with their hands.
"Die!" Before the two guards could react, the guerrillas drew their knives and slashed at the heads of both of them.
"Ahh The white door paper was immediately dyed with a layer of red.
you! A guerrilla kicked away the dead guard, who was still standing in front of him, and the guard's body floated up like a kite, and hit the door impartially. The door was slammed open by the force of the body's impact.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Zhilong, who was chatting with Alberta, looked at the corpse of the guard on the ground, and then looked at the guerrilla's face full of anger and the sword that kept dripping blood, Zhao Zhilong knew that it was not good, and hurriedly ran to the wall to take down his sword.
"Why are you guarding the gate and carrying a sword?" Zhao Guang, you say?" Zhao Zhilong tried his best to keep himself calm, and still shouted in the same tone that he had taught Zhao Guang before.
"What are we doing?" asked the man known as Zhao Guang. Not afraid of Zhao Zhilong at all.
This Zhao Guang and Zhao Zhilong were originally of the same clan, and they have always been cited by Zhao Zhilong as a confidant, and they have become guerrillas. Zhao Guang contributed a lot to the capture of the city this time, but when he saw the officers and soldiers rounding up, there was no hope of breaking through. Zhao Guang was the first to jump out and propose to kill Zhao Zhilong and surrender to the imperial court.
Zhao Guang ignored Zhao Zhilong's angry gaze, and generously picked up a chair and sat down, and there were several guerrillas and their own soldiers standing behind him.
"We're working hard outside, but the adults are drinking a little wine here, tsk, this wine is really good!" Zhao Guang picked up a glass of wine on the table and drank it by himself.
Compared with Zhao Guang's calmness, Zhao Zhilong seemed very anxious, this Jurchen man kept comforting himself, saying that reinforcements would arrive soon, but now he didn't even see a shadow, on the contrary, the rebels saw a lot. Even the pro-soldiers around him rebelled. Zhao Zhilong suddenly felt that the world was so desperate.
"What does Zhao Guang have to say, we are still clan brothers! You go and tell everyone that as long as you keep it this time, everyone will be rewarded. The Great Jin Emperor has already made me king, and when the time comes, I will ask for merit for all my brothers, at least I must be crowned a marquis! What do you think?" Zhao Zhilong's words seemed to have a bit of a sense of negotiation in them.
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Guang looked at the man in front of him with a smile, it was hard to believe that this man was the former Zhao Zhilong.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Zhilong asked, waving the sword in his hand.
"I, what am I laughing at? I laugh at you for being stupid, laugh at you for dreaming!" Zhao Guang shouted.
"You... You..."Zhao Zhilong's face was flushed with anger, no one had dared to scold himself like this, even the chief soldier Man Gui had never scolded himself like this.
"Reinforcements? Where did the reinforcements come from? The officers and soldiers have all hit the door, even if the reinforcements come, will they be able to enter the Shanhaiguan? Can Yuan Chonghuan of Ningyuan sit back and watch the Shanhaiguan break? Fool!"
"This..."Zhao Zhilong looked back at this envoy, eager to eat him!
"Then what are you going to do? Zhao Guang?
"Of course you won't live, what are we going to surrender without your head. Do you think you're going to do it yourself, or do you want us to do it?"
"Haha, haha. I think I, Zhao Zhilong, have been proud all my life, but I didn't expect to die in your hands. Normally, you think I didn't treat you well, so I'll give you a favor this time!"
"Hmm..." Zhao Zhilong wiped his neck, and blood flowed down the knife. He fell straight to the ground. His eyes were wide open, and he refused to close his eyes even when he died.
"Cut off his head!" Zhao Guang hated to see that look, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to cut off Zhao Zhilong's head.
"My lord, what is he going to do?" the guard asked, pointing to Alberta, who was hiding nearby.
"Kill..."Zhao Guang ignored the sound of fighting behind him, and walked out with his hands behind his back.
"Second brother, how long has it been here, there is no news yet, if you are afraid of damaging the mansion of the Manchurians, then I will take someone to rush in and kill Zhao Zhilong. Wu Sangui, who was on the side, couldn't help but get anxious when he saw that there was no news yet.
"Big brother is not in a hurry, at this time, we can't be forced to just wait, it's urgent, it's still difficult to do, wait! Wang Feng said with confidence.
Seeing that his second brother was so confident, Wu Sangui couldn't say anything, so he had to wait obediently.
"Don't fight, don't fight, we surrender, we surrender!"
The vermilion lacquer gate of the General Soldier's Mansion slowly opened, and when the door opened, two round gurgling things rolled out and rolled directly to the feet of Wang Feng and the others.
Then a large number of officers and soldiers came out under the leadership of their respective generals, and one of the frontmen held a large white flag in his hand, and all the soldiers were disarmed without exception.
The guerrilla Zhao Guang came to Wang Feng with a pole officer, knelt down with a puff, and cried loudly, saying what was deceived by the traitor and the villain, hoping that the court would be magnanimous and so on.
Although Wang Feng despised these soldiers who had no integrity in his heart, he still pretended to be very happy, comforted them well, and said some things that the court would not pursue, which made these people feel at ease.
"Second brother, eldest brother, I really admire you, why are you so accurate?
"Well, haha、、、、、 it's 、、、、a secret," Wang Feng laughed.
