440 Geng Zhongming's death
It seems that the emperor's guess is indeed correct! At this moment, Ao Bai couldn't help but admire it very much.
As Huang Taiji's confidant and guard, of course he knew that Huang Taiji did not receive any news, but the emperor's own judgment.
Ao Bai probably knew that the emperor had attached great importance to the Dongjiang Army and that Lu Xiangsheng before. Therefore, for the affairs of the Dongjiang Army and Lu Xiangsheng, you can understand as much as you can, and even many details will be clarified. From this, the emperor should have figured out the temper and character of the governor of the Ming Kingdom. Based on this information, from Lu Xiangsheng's point of view, he deduced the matter and got the correct result.
But the only thing that needs to be figured out now is when will the Ming army start?
Ao Bai thought in his heart, so he said to Geng Zhongming again: "Finally, I will give you a chance to say other details, if it proves that you did not speak, and it is the same as what the emperor explained, then it means that you can still be saved, and the emperor said that for the sake of you having a good son, spare you from death!" ”
Geng Jimao, who was behind him, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, the emperor said such a thing, doesn't that mean that he is in the emperor's heart, and he is very sacred!
However, when Geng Zhongming heard him say this, he suddenly realized in his heart that Huang Taiji was deceiving himself!
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at the unfilial son, and immediately replied with a grateful expression: "The Ming army is scheduled to leave in ten days, but they will not go ashore to do it until I go to pick it up in person." ”
Let Geng Zhongming answer? Although there is this possibility. However, how can Ao Bai rest assured!
So, he immediately shook his head and said, "You run a lot of errands and are tired, just rest in the study." Your son can do this for you. ”
After finishing speaking, he turned to Geng Jimao and said, "I said that your father fell ill after he came back, so I asked you to go and answer it." Remember, don't show your flaws, and luring the Ming army ashore is a great achievement! ”
Geng Jimao was overjoyed when he heard this, and when he was about to speak, he heard Geng Zhongming sneer and say: "Go, go, don't smash the emperor's affairs, let him go!" ”
As soon as he said this, Ao Bai frowned. If he wants to smash the emperor's affairs, he will definitely not be able to do it.
However, it is impossible to let Geng Zhongming go. I don't know about this detail, if Geng Jimao is sent rashly, although he doesn't have to worry about his loyalty, but if it arouses Lu Xiangsheng's suspicion, it will be inappropriate.
He was thinking about it, when suddenly Geng Jimao suggested to Aobai: "Why don't you send that Chen Shaozong?" He had been there a few times, so Lu Xiangsheng would have believed him. He is a filial son, detain his wife, and he dare not do bad things! ”
When Geng Zhongming heard this, he immediately glared angrily at himself, a rebel!
In fact, in the agreement with Governor Lu, the connector was actually Chen Shaozong. After all, he, Geng Zhongming, is the main general of Phoenix Castle, and his actions are too eye-catching.
When Ao Bai heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly asked about the situation.
Geng Zhongming ignored his Lao Tzu's eyes at all, and hurriedly introduced to Aobai: "This Chen Shaozong, his father and brothers and sisters are all gone, and the one who is still alive now is his old mother." When he was young, it was his wife who worked hard to raise him. Therefore, he was very filial to his mother. ”
Ao Bai nodded when he heard this, but he didn't agree immediately, and after a while, he said to Geng Jimao: "If you come forward, use your father's name to set his words, and it is best to be able to get out the details." If you can't figure out the details, use this method again. In short, the things that the emperor has explained must be done! ”
"Wow!" Geng Jimao immediately agreed, and without looking at his father, he immediately went to prepare.
Geng Zhongming looked at the back of the rebel, and suddenly shouted: "Jianyu will die, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely recover Liaodong, do you really want to sink into the sea with this broken ship?" ”
This way of speaking is only said by the people of the former Dongjiang Army.
When Geng Jimao heard this, he turned around, looked at Geng Zhongming, and immediately sneered and said: "The Qing Dynasty is invincible in the field, the emperor is wise and martial, how can the Qing Dynasty die?" Make your spring and autumn dreams! ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked away without hesitation.
Instead, when he heard Geng Zhongming's words, he was furious at first, and then frowned. He probably guessed it, what is this Geng Zhongming's integrity, that's nonsense, more, I'm afraid that after seeing some details of the Ming army, I think the Ming army is very strong, so I am worried that the Ming State will win in the end, so I think about betraying the Qing Dynasty.
He is the person next to Huang Taiji, and the current predicament of the Qing Dynasty, listening to others tell Huang Taiji, he naturally understands a lot. Although he did not think that the Qing Dynasty would be defeated, the difficulties he encountered, such as being held back by the Dongjiang Army, were real.
And the Ming army, obviously has a little strength, so Geng Zhongming will do this. From this point of view, this Dongjiang army really has to be destroyed!
Thinking so, Ao Bai instructed the people behind him: "Look at him, don't let him take half a step out of the study, and don't see anyone!" ”
After finishing speaking, he turned his head back to stare at Geng Zhongming, and shouted: "If you are obsessed, just wait for the emperor to be angry!" ”
Then, too, he was gone.
Geng Zhongming looked up at the sky, and suddenly sighed, and his whole spirit became extremely sluggish. was stabbed in the back by his only son, so that the Geng family was cut off from children and grandchildren, what a retribution!
Under the watchful eye of the prisoners, he turned around and walked towards the study step by step, each step slow, and his legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
One of the builders was a little impatient, stepped forward and pushed hard, and shouted, "Hurry up and get in!" ”
Geng Zhongming stumbled, stood up, and then turned his head to look at the Jianyu. His action was immediately exchanged for angry scolding.
Seeing this, Geng Zhongming showed a miserable smile on his face, turned around, and walked quickly into the study.
"Minggou is underwhelmed, every good thing!" Seeing this, Na Jianyu said with a sneer on his face with a mocking look on his face.
His accomplices all nodded yes. In their eyes, all the Ming people are just a dog of their Qing Dynasty.
Turning around, they were ready to deal with Geng Zhongming's personal guards.
At this moment, Geng Zhongming suddenly appeared at the door of the study again, and unlike before, he had an extra sword in his hand.
When a Jianyu on the side saw it, he immediately knew that it was not good, exclaimed, and hurriedly drew his knife.
But it was too late, and it fell in the end, that is, the Jianyu who pushed and scolded Geng Zhongming, and was caught off guard, and Geng Zhongming stabbed him with a sword from the back.
Geng Zhongming succeeded in the sneak attack, so he used his strength in his hand, pulled out the sword, kicked it out, and kicked the Jianyu out, and laughed at the same time: "The emperor is above, today I Geng Er will kill Jianyu again!" ”
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for those Jianyu to rush over, he took the initiative to rush over, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "Kill the prisoners and hate blood!" ”
This scene stunned his guards.
Doing it here with Jianyu, are you crazy?
But it seems that the prince has indeed gone crazy!
These guards, after coming back to their senses, did not make a move, but retreated to the side, lost the knife and gun in their hands, and just watched Geng Zhongming alone, fighting with a group of Jianyu like crazy tigers.
These captives are all the same as Aobai, they are all the imperial guards of Huang Taiji, and they are the most courageous and loyal people, while Geng Zhongming has only one person, and in just a few moments, they stopped the initial surprise. It's only because of Geng Zhongming's crazy style of play that he can't help him for a while.
In this way, there is a lot of movement in this courtyard. On the side of the courtyard gate, many people were looking. However, none of those people were from Geng's mansion, it was obvious that it was the people who were guarding the courtyard gate, and when they saw a group of people beating Geng Zhongming, they didn't come in.
Soon, Geng Zhongming was chopped to the ground by this group of prisoners, and blood flowed all over the ground.
However, Geng Zhongming, who was dying, seemed to be in very good spirits, vomiting blood, and still trying to shout: "I'm Geng Er...... Kill the captives...... Mao Shuai...... Mao Shuai's deputy general, ...... today"
Before he could finish speaking, an angry Jian Lu stepped forward and cut off his head with a knife.
In this way, under the flapping of butterfly wings, Geng Zhongming originally hanged himself after being discovered by the Manchu Qing because he connived at his subordinates to take in fugitives; Now it is a martyrdom. Although they are all dead, there is a difference in the end.
…………
Before, after Geng Jimao went out, he summoned Chen Shaozong and wanted to ask him about him.
Who knows, Chen Shaozong heard it strangely, so he said to Geng Jimao: "Young master, since the prince has told you everything, why do you still ask me these things?" ”
Geng Jimao was stunned by the rhetorical question, originally he thought that with his identity, he also knew the details of this kind of conspiracy, so he could say whatever he wanted, where did so much nonsense come from. At least in normal times, these people under his father all regard him as a little master, so they will ask questions like this.
"Father naturally told me!" Geng Jimao was a little annoyed, so he said coldly, "But I want to hear what you say, can't you?" ”
If you can't talk well, then you will rely on your identity.
Chen Shaozong listened, and was about to speak, when suddenly, he heard something. When I listened carefully, my face suddenly changed.
And Geng Jimao also heard it, and his face changed.
Although it was not very clear, he still heard it clearly, it was his father, no, it was Geng Zhongming, who was obsessed and dared to betray the Qing Dynasty, shouting "Kill the captives and hate".
Faintly, you can still hear the sound of iron tools intersecting with swords.
"What's going on?" Chen Shaozong's whole person, like a frightened cat, immediately became highly vigilant, and at the same time asked Geng Jimao.
Geng Jimao didn't know how to deal with it, and pretended to be confused: "What's going on?" It's okay! ”
Aobai, who was hiding on the side, took the initiative to come out at this time. Because he knew that something happened in the study, and it was not good, that is, Geng Zhongming deliberately made such a big move, just to remind this Chen Shaozong that there was no way to deceive this matter.
Seeing Ao Bai suddenly come out, Chen Shaozong recognized at a glance that this person was a serious Jianzhou Jurchen. Suddenly, although he didn't know the identity of Ao Bai, he also knew that the matter of abandoning the darkness and returning to the Ming Dynasty should be exposed!
Ao Bai stared at him, didn't talk nonsense, and shouted straight to the point: "If you want your mother to be okay, go and connect with the Ming army and lead the Ming army ashore!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Chen Shaozong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly pretended to be stupid and said: "What is connected with the Ming army, I don't understand ......"
It is about the old lady, although Chen Shaozong knew that the matter had been leaked, he still held a fluke mentality, hoping to escape.
When Ao Bai heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and immediately sneered, and when he was about to speak, he saw that the door was pushed open, and a Jianyu strode in, with blood stains on his body, and said to Ao Bai: "Geng Zhongming resisted stubbornly, killed one of me, injured one person, and has now been beheaded!" ”
Geng Jimao on the side was stunned when he heard this, and when he came back to his senses, he scolded angrily: "This old stubborn is really not a pity to die, and it has ruined the emperor's big things!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Shaozong turned his head to stare at him, unable to believe his ears.
Ao Bai was a little surprised, waved his hand, asked the man to retreat, and then stared at Chen Shaozong and shouted: "If you want to die and live, you want your mother to be tired to death by you, it all depends on your thoughts." If you can do a good job of this matter explained by the emperor, not only can you be innocent, but you can also protect your glory and wealth. Take your pick! ”
After Ao Bai finished speaking, he didn't say that he would be given a limited time choice.
Seeing Chen Shaozong's "poof", he knelt down and begged Ao: "Adult, the villain is willing to recruit, and the villain is willing to recruit anything." As long as my mother is safe and sound, I can do anything! ”
Seeing that he softened all of a sudden, the unexpected Ao Bai couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then he was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled him around: "Okay, the one who knows the times is Junjie, you are much stronger than Geng Zhongming." As long as you change your evil ways and continue to serve the Ming Dynasty, you will be the guard of the Phoenix Castle in the future, and the emperor will also give your mother a decree! Let you honor your mother well! ”
After finishing speaking, he was not verbose, and immediately began to inquire about the discussion between Geng Zhongming and Lu Xiangsheng.
Chen Shaozong really had one thing to say, two to say, and even the details of his several visits to Guangludao to liaison, including the strength of the Ming army, etc., were all answered in detail under Aobai's news.
His confession and cooperation attitude made Ao Bai very satisfied. Getting the news about the Ming army from Chen Shaozong's mouth also surprised Ao Bai very much. He didn't expect that the Ming army would be so powerful. It seems that the emperor is really wise, and he must wipe out this Dongjiang army this time!
So, Ao Bai immediately wrote a piece of music, and together with Geng Zhongming's head, he hurriedly sent it back to Shengjing.
When Huang Taiji heard this, he was also shocked. But at the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was wise and martial, and he didn't turn this game into a pit because he didn't turn Geng Zhongming into a pit.
Geng Zhongming is dead or not, he doesn't care, as long as he can wipe out the Dongjiang army, then the effort spent in the past few months has not been in vain. The predicament of the Qing Dynasty can also be brought out of some way.
Thinking so, in response to Chen Shaozong's confession, Huang Taiji began to make some targeted layouts, and at the same time, his will was also hurriedly sent back to the Phoenix Castle.
