Chapter 15: It is a shame to be alive
The soldiers brought by Wu Zheng, and even the prisoners of the Ming army and ordinary people who were rescued by Wu Zheng, were all filled with righteous indignation.
The defeat of the imperial court, they actually have to bear the consequences?
It's a shame to be lucky to survive.
Zhou Simin couldn't help it, he broke free from Uncle Zheng's desperate obstruction and rushed towards Liao Zhongping.
When Wu Zheng saw it, he was shocked, at this time, if he shot an arrow on the other side, he would be a disabled rich son, and he would really know the end of his life.
Wu Zheng hurriedly shouted: "Erhan, pull him to the back." ”
Erhan desperately blocked Zhou Simin with his body, and with Uncle Zheng who rushed over, he dragged Zhou Simin back, Zhou Simin struggled, saying something loudly, Wu Zheng couldn't hear it clearly.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Zheng turned his head, stared at Liao Zhongping's eyes and said, "Lord Liao, there is no objection to the lowly position, and since the time he went ashore, the lowly position has been trying his best to explain everything. If the lord insists on shooting the lowly position, and the lowly position is unwilling to be killed, then the lowly duty is forgiven. ”
Liao Zhongping's face had condensed into ice, and he snorted contemptuously: "It's up to you? ”
With that, he raised his hand into the air.
Wu Zheng's hand also slowly raised.
The onlookers screamed and fled in all directions.
Life and death are the fine line.
Chen Sheng, who was behind Wu Zheng, was in a hurry and shouted, "Lord Wu, don't be confused. To die here like this is really a blind adult. ”
While shouting, he rushed forward a few steps, knelt down to Liao Zhongping, and said, "Your Excellency." ”
As Wu Zheng expected, being incited by Wu Zheng to incite the people and occupy the highest point of morality, Liao Zhongping finally had some scruples in his heart.
He was forced by Wu Zheng to be anxious and couldn't get off the stage for a while.
At this time, Chen Sheng interrupted like this, but calmed down a little, "Speak." ”
"Chen Sheng, the general banner under the command of the hundred households of the original Jinshan Guard, the Tartars came to attack, and the thousands and hundreds of households of Jinshanwei all absconded with fine and soft. In desperation, he fled with another general banner and his soldiers, and on the road to Zhenze County, he met Wu Sentinel and his party. It was he who led us to annihilate all the fifty-seven Tartars who were chasing. Later, in order to return to Shaoxing, Sentry Wu led us and others to use the military uniforms on the Tartars they had killed before to defraud the Jinshanwei Wharf, annihilated all the 100 Tartars stationed there, and rescued the Ming prisoners and civilians imprisoned at the wharf. Only then did he cross the sea and come to Shaoxing. ”
Chen Sheng's words are very clear and coherent.
After Liao Zhongping heard this, he asked in a deep voice: "This is just your family's words, what is the basis?" ”
Chen Sheng turned his head and shouted, "Lift the sack in the cabin." ”
Liao Zhongping frowned and said, "What do you want?" ”
At this time, more than a dozen sacks were carried up by the soldiers.
Chen Sheng said: "Please take a look." ”
"Open."
The sacks were untied, and countless heads rolled off.
Chen Sheng said: "This is the head of a hundred Tartars stationed at Jinshanwei Wharf, whether it is a Tartar or not, adults will know at a glance." ”
Liao Zhongping was stunned for a while, then bent forward and looked at it.
Wu Zheng was stunned, "When did you cut the head?" ”
Chen Sheng sighed: "After the adults get on the boat." The humble official had expected such a scene, so he had to make some preparations. I hope that the adults will not sin. ”
Wu Zheng praised in his heart, talent.
Chen Sheng got up and followed behind Liao Zhongping and said, "My lord, although the fifty-seven Tartars on the official road in Zhenze County have not been cut off from their heads, the place where the corpses are buried has been marked by humble duties, and your lord can send someone to inspect them." ”
Liao Zhongping straightened up at this time, looked at Chen Sheng, and said, "It is indeed the head of the Tartars, and this official can be trusted." ”
Turning to Wu Zheng, Liao Zhongping's eyes were gloomy, and after a while, he said: "If you are still willing to guarantee these 130 people, this official allows you to take them ashore." ”
Wu Zheng took a long breath and arched his hand: "Master Xie's compassion." ”
"However, the prisoners and civilians of the Ming army in the back still can't go ashore." Liao Zhongping changed his words.
Wu Zheng protested and said, "My lord, why is this? ”
Liao Zhongping reprimanded: "You are also a person who leads troops, how can you not know the danger here?" Among these hundreds of people, if they were mixed into a few Qing army to work in detail, the damage would be huge. Needless to say, you can't afford this responsibility, even your own officials. ”
Wu Zheng knew that what Liao Zhongping said was right, now that Zhedong was under the Qing army, people's hearts were already panicking, and once the spies penetrated into the hinterland, the damage brought was immeasurable.
"Lord Wu, please don't abandon us."
Wu Zheng slowly turned around and looked at the kneeling people.
The faint cry of a baby tugged at the softest part of Wu Zheng's chest.
To abandon them is to drive them back to the sea, where are they going?
But he is humble and has no right to speak at all.
It is not easy to keep Chen Sheng and more than 100 others, and if you collide again, you will really find death.
Wu Zheng thought that he was not a mother-in-law, so he gritted his teeth and turned around.
At this time, the woman who was holding the baby in her arms stumbled forward, lifted the baby above her head with both hands, and cried: "Your lord's grace, the child is innocent, please save the child, the woman just wants to keep him alive." ”
The baby, apparently unaware of what he was facing, reached into his mouth with a white finger and sucked.
A pair of dark eyes looked at Wu Zheng without blinking.
Childish and innocent?!
Wu Zheng's nose was a little sour, and he raised his head and took a deep breath, intending to force back the tears that were about to fall.
But Wu Zheng found that the poured tears made him have more tears in his eyes, and he could no longer control it.
Not only did I have tears, but I also felt sad and bitter.
Since you can't force it back, let it go.
Two lines of tears fell, Wu Zheng bent his knees and knelt in front of Liao Zhongping.
The boy had gold under his knees.
The boy has tears and doesn't flick.
Wu Zheng couldn't care about it so much.
"Your Excellency."
"Young Master......!"
Countless people shouted, which contained indignation, unwillingness, resentment, and ...... for Wu Zheng Beloved!
The soldiers behind Wu Zheng got up, the anger in their eyes was blazing, and they approached step by step.
Live together, die together!
The people behind them also stood up, and pressed forward step by step.
was forced to this extent, even if it was a mud bodhisattva, he had three points of anger.
Liao Zhongping was stunned, he shouted angrily: "What are you going to do here?" ”
"Please be gracious."
"Not really."
"The lowly is willing to vouch for them."
"Full of nonsense. What qualifications do you have to vouch for them, and if something happens, can you afford it? Liao Zhongping's voice was full of emotion, looking at Wu Zheng's two lines of tears, his heart was also sour.
"Your Excellency. What the adults said is right, this matter is related to the safety of the community. But if the court abandons these people for the sake of unwarranted suspicion and allows them to fend for themselves, the people are cold, can they still work hard for the court and the Tartars? The humble duty is willing to exchange the military merits of hundreds of Tartar heads on the ground for hundreds of soldiers and civilians behind him to land on the shore, please fulfill it. ”
After speaking, Wu Zheng snorted at Liao Zhongping three times.
