Chapter 549: Staying Behind and Parting

Hearing Zu Zerun, he finally said this, and the whole room was suddenly quiet again. Zu Dashou, who was sitting at the top, looked straight at his eldest son, his face was very ugly, but his heart was mixed.

Zhen'er couldn't help it, after serving the Manchu Qing Dynasty for ten years, this Zu Zerun was unwilling to leave as if he had feelings for the Qing Dynasty.

It's a pity that he and Hong Chengchou can't persuade him to change his mind after trying so hard to persuade him, I really don't know how this kid's head could suddenly be so tendoned.

Zu Dashou's heart was angry, he stood up on the ground, and was about to get angry, but was hurriedly stopped by Hong Chengchou.

Zu Zerun seemed to guess how his father Zu Dashou wanted him to make an explanation, he raised his head, calmly looked at his father Zu Dashou, and then said slowly: "Father, I know that you are for the good of the child and want to give the child a better future. It's just that the reason why the child doesn't want to leave the Qing Dynasty is for a reason.

"Speak, just listen for the Father's sake.

Zu Dashou replied calmly. Zu Zerun's face was filled with inexplicable emotion, and he sighed lightly and replied: "Father, over the years, the child has been very adaptable in the Qing Dynasty, and has married a wife and had children, I really don't want to drag the family anymore and go to Li Xiao, who was once an opponent. What his father said and Master Hong was very reasonable, but the child still thought that the child was just a Han army Gushan Ezhen, and there were not many troops, and the chance of fighting Li Xiao's Tang army was too small. And if the child goes to vote for Dolgon, this person has a great chance of successfully seizing the throne of the Qing Dynasty, and in the future, this support from the dragon is basically a must, so he defected and discarded this opportunity, which is really a pity. And in the final analysis, even if the Tang army will invade our Qing Dynasty at that time, I believe that Dolgon and they will also have a way to solve it, but they don't need a low-level general like me to think about it. Therefore, the father's high opinion makes it difficult for the child to obey his fate.

Zu Zerun paused, gritted his teeth and said: "The most sorry person for the child's choice is your father, if there is an afterlife, the child will be repaid as a cow and horse, I hope that the father will not blame." Not to mention, if there is really such a day in the future, if there is such a coincidence, I have to fight against the Tang Army, that is also my fate......" Zu Zerun finished speaking, brushed the ground and knelt on his knees, buried his head deeply, and clenched his fists.

Everyone saw that this Zu Zerun, who was kneeling on the ground motionless, actually shrugged his shoulders and sobbed softly.

Seeing Zu Zerun's pitiful appearance, Zu Dashou's mood of originally planning to reprimand him was completely dispelled, and was replaced by an inexplicable loss and sorrow.

"Zerun, then you are so self-conscious......

Zu Dashou was silent for a long time, and finally said this. Zu Zerun raised his head, revealing a face full of tears, he nodded in a choked voice, and said to Zu Dashou: "Father, don't worry, you left the Qing Dynasty to vote for Li Xiao this time, I will keep it a secret and will not tell anyone." After you leave Shengjing, I will also lead my men to Tokyo (Liaoyang) to seek refuge in Dolgon. From now on, my father, my younger brothers, and my cousin Zeyuan will never see each other again. After this farewell, I hope that the father will cherish his body more and not let the child worry too much......

When Zu Zerun said this, he was already in tears, he suddenly sank down, and kowtowed three times to Zu Dashou. Zu Dashou sighed, walked over slowly, and gently helped him up.

"Zerun, there is no need to be like this, there is a way that everyone has their own ambitions, how can you be reluctant, since you want to continue to serve the Qing court, then you can stay here.

When Zu Dashou said this, a trace of pain flashed on his face: "Child, I hope that in the future, you will never be an enemy of the Tang Army, and my father does not ask you to make more achievements in the future, I just sincerely hope that your whole family can live in peace and security, and you will be content with your father."

Hearing his father's words, Zu Zerun was even more ashamed and nameless, he choked back tears, bowed to Zu Dashou deeply, and then hugged his fists to the brothers, and then said: "Okay, father, brothers, since you are all determined to leave, and I am determined to stay in the Qing Dynasty, then, the Tao is not the same." I don't have a lot to stay here, I hope you cherish it all the way, and I hope you take good care of my father for me......

His brothers didn't reply, and everyone looked at him with complicated faces, which made the whole venue even more embarrassing. When Zu Zerun said this, he sighed, and then turned his head and left. Everyone in the room watched him leave in silence until Zu Zerun's back disappeared outside the door and was no longer visible. Zu Dashou sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, and it seemed that his whole person seemed to have become older in an instant. However, he quickly recovered from this inexplicable sad atmosphere, turned his head to Hong Chengchou and said, "Alas, Zerun has made such a decision, what will happen in the future depends on his own creation." Heng Jiu, then, let's discuss how to leave the Qing Kingdom.

Hong Chengchou sighed lightly, withdrew his gaze from staring outside the room, and then turned to Zu Dashou and said, "Fuyu, I have a plan in my heart about how to leave the Qing Kingdom, so please listen to me."

Zu Dashou nodded and said: "Okay, Heng Jiu, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I and my sons and nephews are all listening."

Hong Chengchou hummed and continued: "In my opinion, we need to pack up and prepare to leave within these two days. Then assemble from the Wujing camp in the south of Shengjing, and then unify to the west, cross the Hunhe River, cross the Changshengbao, then cross the Hetao area, enter the Karaqin Mongol tribe, and then all the way to the west, pass through the Naiman Department, the East Tumut Department, and then enter the Xuanfu Town North Road in the Ming Realm, and finally throw itself into the Dingbei Camp of the Tang Army.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zu Zeyuan first interjected and asked: "Master Hong, such a route, the path of our army is quite far, but there will be something wrong?"

Seeing Zu Zeyuan's rebuttal, Hong Chengchou asked rhetorically: "Deputy General Zu, then from your point of view, where is it most appropriate for us to leave from?" Zu Zeyuan pondered for a while, and then said: "Master Hong, in my opinion, wouldn't it be more convenient for us to go straight south, enter the Ming Realm from Ningyuan, and then join the Tang Army?"

Listening to Zu Zeyuan's words, Hong Chengchou smiled and retorted: "Deputy General Zu, Hong has also thought about this road, but you have to see that if you take this road, although it is much closer than going west to the Dingbei Camp of the Tang Army, it seems that the road is much closer. But have you ever thought about it, if you go this way, I am afraid that the risks we encounter on the road will be much greater.

"Oh, is it? Could you please say that?

Zu Zeyuan replied coldly. Hong Chengchou took a deep breath and continued: "Everyone, if our army marches south and enters the Ming Realm from Ningyuan, then if we leave from Shengjing, we must first pass through Guangning, and then pass through Jinzhou before we can reach Ningyuan. Take another 10,000 steps back and say, even if we go all the way unhindered and reach the Ming Realm smoothly, there is still Wu Sangui to pass. If Wu Sangui is for his own selfishness and forcibly abducts us to ask for merit from the Ming court, then how will we deal with it? Hong Chengchou paused and replied: "So everyone, if we go from Shenyang to the west, then, as long as we pass Changsheng Fort, we can enter the Mongolian tribes, and there will be no more Qing people to come back to entangle." And the strength of the Mongol tribes is weak, and at the time of this great turmoil, they cannot figure out the true intention of our trip, and it is very likely that as long as we do not commit any offense on the road, they will let us go west to Mingjing, and will never dare to block the road. Therefore, from this point of view, although we have traveled a little further, it is safer and more prudent. Hong Chengchou's words made Zu Zeyuan speechless, he had a look of ridicule on his face, and stepped aside, but Zu Zepu asked again: "Master Hong, even if it is not feasible to go south from the Qing Dynasty, our army can still go north and go to the Tang army in the temple street fort at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River." If we can successfully get north from Shenyang, the road is sparsely populated, deserted, and at most harassed by some wild Jurchen tribes, wouldn't it be safer and more reliable than passing through Mongolia? Hong Chengchou smiled slightly, he sighed and said: "Zepu, what you said has a certain truth, but have you thought about it, now the weather is cold, there are many boundaries in the north, I am afraid that it is the time when the snow is flying all over the sky, the road to the north is narrow and difficult, and the heavy snow blocks the road, in the case of insufficient logistics supply, our army wants to reach the Temple Street Fort smoothly, it is really not easy." If we are intercepted and killed by the pursuing Qing army when the future is blocked and there is no way out, we will probably die in the vast wilderness. Hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Zu Zepu didn't say anything more, he snorted, lowered his head and stepped aside.

At this time, Zu Dashou stood up at this time, and said as if summing up: "Okay, since everyone has no objections, then so be it, as Master Hong said, let's prepare well in the next two days, and then leave from Wujing Camp together." Hearing Zu Dashou's speech, his sons and nephews said loudly: "Yes, we obey orders." ”…… And the next day, when Zu Dashou and others were preparing intensively and preparing to lead their troops to leave, a guy with a strange expression came to Anping Beledudu's mansion.

As soon as this fellow from the Xianwang ironware shop entered, he hurriedly said to the servant, "Take me to your butler Jing Guda quickly." My shopkeeper has something urgent to convey to him. The servant did not dare to slack off, and hurried to get the news.

After a short time, the housekeeper Jing Guda and the servant of Tongyu hurried out together to meet the servant from the Xianwang ironware shop.

The servant was about to speak, but was stopped by Jing Guda.

"This is not the place to talk, you can come with me to the secret room to discuss." Jing Guda said in a low voice. Immediately, he personally took the fellow all the way through the alleys, twisting and turning, and finally arrived in a secluded secret room.

Entering the secret room, the fellow was surprised to see that in the secret room, there was already Du Du's Fujin Wuma Lama, sitting in it with a gloomy face.

The fellow hesitated for a moment and was about to salute, but was stopped by the Uda Lama.

"Young man, you are not too polite, you say, your shopkeeper sent you, but the matter of taking my three children out of the Qing Kingdom is already appropriate?" As soon as the Uma Lama finished asking, the fellow immediately replied urgently: "Blessing Jin, everything is ready. My shopkeeper sent me to deliver the news, saying that the three young masters should be ready, just this evening, at the wharf of the Hunhe River, two cargo ships have been prepared, let the three sons take important family members and goods, board the boat and leave, and then the boat will go all the way south to the Yingkou sea, change to another sea boat, and sail straight to Shandong. Hearing the news of this, Uma Lama's face showed a look of relief, but soon, her face was enveloped in inexplicable sorrow and sorrow.

Fortunately, she controlled her emotions in time, and when she asked the fellow a few more words, she gave the fellow a reward of one or two pieces of silver, and sent him back first.

Immediately, Lama Lama did not hesitate, and quickly came to Dudu's hospital room to report the news to him, who was getting more and more ill.

Then he ordered the housekeeper Jing Guda to call the three sons of Duerhu, Murhu, and Telhu, as well as Ererhu's daughter-in-law, who was holding a child who was only half a year old, to Dudu's bed.

When the three sons arrived, she quickly recounted the words of the fellow to the three of them.

Hearing the news that they could finally escape the Qing Dynasty by boat, which was about to be a civil war, the three Du Erhu brothers and his daughter-in-law suddenly showed a relaxed look on their faces, but soon, their faces immediately swelled with deep sorrow.

At this time, Du Du on the hospital bed suddenly coughed loudly, but he was looking at his three sons with his neck straight, his eyes stunned, and the hand that stretched out straight also kept reaching out to Du Erhu and the other three.

"You three brothers, all kneel." Su Lama understood Du Du's thoughts, and she ordered the three brothers in a loud voice.

The three brothers knelt down together, and Nadurhu's daughter-in-law hesitated, and was about to kneel down with the child in her arms, but was gently pulled by the Uma Lama.

After Du Erhu and the other three brothers knelt down, Du Du on the hospital bed gasped heavily, and finally stopped coughing, and he looked at the three brothers carefully with a loving and sad gaze.

"Amma......" Duerhu's voice was choked, tears welled up in his eyes, he wanted to say something, but for a while, he couldn't say anything.

Du Du waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to say any more, and then, with a gaze full of tenderness and love, he whispered to his most beloved eldest son: "Du Erhu, you remember, the last thing Ama wants to say to you is that from now on, you can no longer see yourself as a Manchurian clan magnate, you must completely calm your mind, and just see yourself as an ordinary Han people." As long as the three brothers can live safely and smoothly, Ama will be under the Nine Springs, which is enough to smile and wink. "2k reading web
