Zhu Guodong, the former governor of Shanyong, Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Ningyuan, and others have been under house arrest. After a long time, of course, they knew about Xingguogong's "malice" towards them, however, they had no way at all.

At most, I regret it, laughing at myself for being too naïve, it turns out that there are really people in this world who not only don't do things after receiving money, but will fall into the well.

For this reason, some people scolded Xingguo Gong, and some people wanted to remedy it quickly, in short, people with different personalities had different reactions.

On this day, they suddenly heard the sound of drumming and gathering, and they were guessing what was going on outside, when a team of Jinyi guards broke in and took them all away.

In this way, these people know that the time has come to decide their fate. As a result, many people became nervous, hurriedly thought of countermeasures, and tried to pass this ghost gate.

Wu Sangui has always been relatively quiet and does not speak, but his eyes roll from time to time, looking at the movements around. To his surprise, they did not enter the lobby, military tent, etc., but were escorted to the school grounds.

When he arrived at the school, he was a little surprised to find that there were all people here, some of whom he knew and some of whom he didn't. On the stage, the Xingguo Gong was really there.

But what surprised him even more was that beside Xingguo Gong, there was a woman wearing a princess costume, and an official wearing a big red scarlet robe, which he had never seen before.

In front of the platform, there is also an incense table, and there are items for memorial services such as pig's heads.

What made Wu Sangui a little worried was that when they were escorted over by the Jinyi guards, many of these soldiers on the school field showed anger towards them, which made him feel very bad.

Sure enough, after a group of them were escorted to the front of the point general's platform, the captain of the Jinyi Guard, who escorted them, shouted to them one after another, "Kneel!" ”

Some people knelt down according to their words, but Zhu Guodong, the governor of Shanyong, did not kneel, held his head high, looked at the general on the stage and shouted and asked, "Xingguo Gong, why are you so kind to the lower officials?" The lower official is the governor of Shanyong......"

With him taking the lead, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, also shouted, "Grandpa Guo, are you mistaken, you took our money, do you want to turn your face and deny it?" ”

The others, however, were shrewd, looked at each other, and did not speak, just to see what Xingguo Gong did with what they were saying.

Zhang Mingwei looked at Zhu Guodong, the governor of Shanyong, with a sneer, and said coldly, "You have been the governor of Shanyong for four years, have you inspected the defense line of the Great Wall and observed the people's livelihood?" After the defeat of Songjin, how much money did you collect to excuse these people who escaped from the battle? ”

Zhu Guodong actually guessed what his crime was when he heard Zhou Yuji, a loyal uncle, relay that he wanted them to rewrite that military exploit and not let them see Xingguo Gong.

Originally, he actually thought that it was impossible for the imperial court to mobilize all the general troops at once. After all, the court needs them, and they must all have their own people in the court. With this kind of thought, he took the money, and he didn't need to do anything anyway, just open his eyes and be blind.

Therefore, during the so many days of house arrest, he actually thought about how to deal with this crime, and when he heard it, he immediately shouted loudly, "The prince of the country also asks the officials to tell the secret story!" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Mingwei didn't expect that there was a hidden secret, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he looked at him and wanted to hear what he said.

I saw Zhu Guodong pointing to the six general soldiers on the side, and said loudly to Zhang Mingwei, "Guogong, their six major general soldiers, the grain and grass were cut off and fled back, although the whole army was wiped out, but there is still a lot of strength, especially Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, this is his sphere of influence, and soon after fleeing back, he pulled some people and horses." And the lower officials are not sure how many people are on their side at Shanhaiguan. If the lower officials reveal that they want to arrest them and put them in prison and other imperial court wills, the lower officials are afraid that they will rebel against the Ming Dynasty and take refuge in Jianjiao, endangering Shanhaiguan! ”

"......" Zhang Mingwei was speechless when he heard it, there was still such a reason?

Although he believes that this Zhu Guodong is most likely thinking of greedy money and conniving, he must say so, it seems to have a certain truth!

"Guogong, the money they gave me, the lower officials kept all of it, and they didn't touch a single point, the adults can go and check, what the lower officials said is true!" Zhu Guodong almost burst into tears when he spoke, and he seemed to be extremely emotional.

According to what he said, not only did he have no fault, but he had merit in stabilizing the six general soldiers for the imperial court!

However, after he finished speaking, the six major general soldiers, including Wang Pu, who relied on his father Yu Yin to take the position of chief soldier, of course would not agree, and immediately shouted one by one.

"Guogong Mingjian, I am a Ming general, naturally born as a Ming person, and death is also a ghost of the Ming Dynasty! Lord Zhongcheng, this is evading responsibility, this is slandering us! ”

"Grandpa Guo, Lord Zhongcheng, this is a bloody mouth!"

“……”

Bai Guangen, the commander of the reinforcement and suppression, said sadly: "My lord, in the battle of Songjin, the son of the last general was captured by Jianyu, and this rebel son even wrote a letter to the last general to persuade him to surrender, and was cut off by the last general on the spot. The last general is deeply favored by the emperor, how can he betray his father! ”

"Guogong, please think about it, if the last general surrenders to Jianyu, and the last general's family is all in Beijing, what will they do?" Wu Sangui also followed suit, "Although the last general was defeated, he immediately thought about reorganizing his men and horses to fight again, how could he have the slightest idea of taking refuge in Jianyu?" If this is really the case, why not directly offer Ning Yuan? ”

When Zhu Guodong heard it, he turned his head to look at them, and sneered, "That's a good thing, you martial artists, you are a mother if you have milk, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise, why do you run away from the battle and still think about lying about your military exploits?" ”

At this time, the dead friends are not dead and poor, so let's pass the test by ourselves first.

Wu Sangui and others were naturally unwilling to be said by him, and refuted one after another. However, if you want to talk about it, the six of them together are not the opponents of Zhu Guodong, a civil official.

Seeing them arguing there, many of the soldiers who heard their words were a little confused.

Zhang Mingwei was just a little surprised at first, but at this time, listening to them arguing all the time, there was no new idea, so he snorted coldly and said, "Enough!" ”

As soon as he was furious, of course these people below didn't dare not listen, and immediately quieted down.

Zhang Mingwei stared at Zhu Guodong and asked him coldly, "If you really want to stabilize them, then why didn't you tell me about it after I led the Yongwei Battalion into Shanhaiguan, could it be that you forgot, or do you want to see the limelight, or is there no such thing at all?" ”

"This ......" As soon as Zhu Guodong heard this, the Khan came out.

His reasoning cannot be explained at this point. If he is really dedicated to the country, as soon as the Duke of Xingguo arrives, he should tell the truth. However, he did not do so. Well, his argument is untenable.

Seeing this, Zhang Mingwei, who was on the stage, snorted coldly and said, "Come on, put him in a prison car and escort him to Beijing for punishment!" ”

Although he has the king's order banner and Shang Fangjian, he can theoretically cut first and then play, but he is not Yuan Chonghuan, and he really dares to kill the feudal officials. Even if Emperor Chongzhen trusts him again, he will always have at least IQ.

That's it, Zhu Guodong was immediately dragged down by the brocade guard, took off his official hat, lay down his official uniform, and stuffed it into the prisoner car.

The next step is naturally to deal with the six general soldiers, and when Zhang Mingwei turned his head to look at them, he saw that they were all very nervous.

I heard Zhang Mingwei shout coldly, "You didn't say anything about escaping from the battle, but you also tried to use the merits of the soldiers who died in battle, what is there to say?" ”

This matter on the battlefield, even if the whole army was wiped out before, but how the men and horses marched, and what troops were fighting against Jianyu, you can know with a little inquiry. As a result, you obviously played against the Zhenghuang Flag, but you said that you killed the Jianyu of the Zhengbai Flag, who believes it? Only those in the court who don't know the details don't know these situations.

"Come on!" Seeing that they had nothing to say, Zhang Mingwei immediately shouted, "According to the law, those who escape from the battle, kill!" ”

When the captain of the brocade guard heard this, he immediately wanted to drag them.

These six general soldiers, no matter how impossible it is, could not be killed like this, and suddenly shouted one by one.

"Guogong Mingjian, this battle is not our escape, it is really the grain and grass that have been cut off, and the whole army has been defeated!"

"To be held responsible, the first thing to do is to urge the army to rush forward! He is the culprit, otherwise, our army may not be defeated! ”

"It was Wang Pu who ran first, the army's heart collapsed, and the last general couldn't do it!"

"Yes, we were originally going to fight a decisive battle with Jianyu, but Wang Pu ran first, causing the collapse of the whole army!"

"My lord, as soon as Wang Pu ran, the army's heart was in turmoil, and the last general originally wanted to preserve his strength and wait for an opportunity to fight again, but who knew that as soon as the Jianyu ambush came out, the whole army collapsed!"

“……”

All the spearheads finally pointed at Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, he knew that it was not good, and immediately said with a sad face, "My lord, the grain and grass have been cut off, and the soldiers have nothing to eat, so how can they fight, they will die!" ”

Seeing Zhang Mingwei's gloomy face and not speaking, these chief soldiers panicked again.

Ma Ke hurriedly said, "Guogong, in the end, he will be biased and flattened, and he will have to fight countless bloody battles to accumulate merit to the general army." In my imperial court, in addition to Cao Zongbing, who else has the last general! The last general has no merit and hard work, and please look at the past merits of the last general, and give the last general another chance! ”

Hearing his words, the other commanders who reacted also began to talk about their previous achievements.

Not to mention, five of these six general soldiers, in the past, whether they were born as thieves or ordinary soldiers, they all led the army to fight and fought countless times for the Ming Dynasty.

If according to the original historical development, most of them either surrendered Li Zicheng or surrendered Jianguo in the end, but before that, that is, at the end of this year, when Jianguo entered the Kou, he also killed many Jianguo.

Although later generations believed that every time Jianyu entered the Kou, the Ming army was terrified and did not dare to fight. However, this is not the case, and the Manchu Qing concealed the true situation, which explains why Jianyu had no intention of plotting in the Guannei before.
