Chapter 319: For the sake of the party-state

Facts have proved that Zhang Wanchun, who was originally greedy for life and afraid of death, did not have the heroic heart to die as a confidant because of Huang Taiji's preferential treatment of himself in the past two days.

The previous side was able to surrender Jiannu, and now there is no pressure to surrender.

Zhang Chengchun surrendered again.

Wan Yanhan chose to fight to the end, until he was captured after being stabbed through the legs with a spear.

A Niu Lu led by Wan Yan Han, and nearly 2,000 cavalry Jiannu who rushed in later, were basically cold.

Especially when the city gate was not closed, Huang Taiji was seen taking the lead in running away, and almost half of the Jiannu who were cool in their hearts chose to surrender.

But Emperor Chongzhen's mood was very bad.

They all say snot Song or something, but who killed Song by whom?

The Song Dynasty was rich and capricious at that time, and could fight on several fronts. If it weren't for the fact that there was no war horse, it would be really hard to say whether the winner would have been or what he would have won.

Even so, after the death of the Song Dynasty, under the personal conquest of the Mongol Great Khan, the Diaoyu City was defended for eight years without falling.

It is the same length as the anti-Japanese war in later generations.

The father died and the son died, the son died and the grandson died, and generations of people fought like this.

In the end, after the Song Dynasty was completely cool, Diaoyu City surrendered on the condition that no one would be killed after the opening of the city.

The unlucky guy of the Ming Dynasty was even more unlucky.

It was not so much that it was destroyed by Li Zicheng or Jiannu, but that it was destroyed by the Ming army and the righteous gentlemen of the Donglin Party after surrendering.

The two Han dynasties that people loved and hated to their bones finally died indirectly at the hands of the Han themselves.

It's very irritating.

And Emperor Chongzhen now has such a number one person in front of him.

Zhang Wanchun.

This guy with the same name as the founding major general of later generations is also a soldier with the same profession.

However, the later major general Zhang Wanchun dedicated his life to the country and the nation.

The sixteen words of strength and bravery, loyalty to the country, experience in a hundred battles, and outstanding military achievements are the best evaluation of him.

But what about the general Zhang Wanchun in front of him?

Greedy for life and afraid of death, forgetting righteousness for profit, having no king and no father, the sixteen words of national sinner are the best evaluation of him.

Emperor Chongzhen was in a bad mood, and his face was very unsightly.

The current Chongzhen Emperor is becoming more and more powerful, and he is no longer the little White Yellow Emperor who needs to rely on facial paralysis to save his acting skills - when I am happy, it is a gentle drizzle, and when I am unhappy, it is thunderous.

An emperor like this who holds military power, financial power, and personnel power in one body is the real emperor.

Once one of them is missing, it is basically subject to others, and it has to play some tricks and the like.

Is that still an emperor?

Not to mention anything else, the power of the great victories accumulated in a few battles alone was enough for Emperor Chongzhen to ignore anyone who dared to escape.

The most obvious example, who dared to rebel when Zu Long was there? Liu? Xiang Yu? Or Zhang Liang Hanxin?

Although Emperor Chongzhen must be too far behind Emperor Qin and Han Wu, in the late Ming Dynasty, who can be stronger than him in such a bad era?

And Emperor Chongzhen's face that is difficult to see now makes Zhang Wanchun, who is kneeling on the ground, keep beating drums in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he surrendered to Jiannu for fear of death, and ended up in the hands of the imperial army.

And his temper is not very good, Emperor Chongzhen, who likes to cut off people's heads to build a view of Beijing, also led troops to recruit in person.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhang Wanchun, who was speechless on the ground after kneeling, and chuckled: "What else does General Zhang have to say?" ”

Zhang Wanchun thought about it and didn't have a good way to get out, so he had to say in a trembling voice: "The guilty minister deserves to die, and I beg Your Majesty to spare the guilty minister for the sake of the crime and the slave who lured the slave into the city." ”

Emperor Chongzhen laughed out loud, and then asked: "In this way, General Zhang Da is pretending to surrender to Jiannu, and he is in Cao Ying's heart in Han?" ”

When people fall into the water, they often grab a straw and will not let go.

The same is true of Zhang Wanchun at this time.

In order to survive, Zhang Wanchun chose to lie to himself: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that His Majesty will definitely send troops to comply with the siege, so he pretended to surrender Jiannu and lure Jiannu into the city." ”

Emperor Chongzhen just stretched out his hand and pointed behind Zhang Wanchun and said, "Look at who is behind you." ”

Zhang Wanchun trembled and looked back, but it was Zhang Ercheng, the commander of his own army.

Zhang Wanchun's face suddenly turned pale.

If you can barely deceive yourself just now, then now you are clearly deceiving the king.

When he and Wan Yanhan entered the city, they were fighting with their own soldiers.

If Zhang Ercheng also survived, it would be the best witness, no matter how much he tongued and lotus, he was afraid that it would be useless.

As soon as the two strands were hot, Zhang Wanchun wailed: "Your Majesty is gracious!" Your Majesty is gracious! ”

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and ordered, "Let him shut up." ”

Zhu Gang, who was with Emperor Chongzhen, stepped forward, pinched Zhang Wanchun's chin and shook it left and right, then dislocated it, and stuffed a rag into it.

Zhang Wanchun completely shut up now.

Emperor Chongzhen stared at Zhang Ercheng and the others: "The sin of being a thief must be unavoidable." However, there are anyway actions, so the sin and itself do not involve the family, so can you accept it? ”

Zhang Ercheng and the others originally knew that there would be such an end, if it weren't for the wife and children at home, they were afraid that they would have followed Zhang Wanchun all the way to the dark.

Now that the emperor has arrived, he has only died himself, but his family can be exonerated from the crime, which is also an official conclusion, and it is already a complete surprise, where can he dare to ask for more?

Emperor Chongzhen saw that Zhang Ercheng and the others were all confessing their sins and thanksgiving without repeating their ways, so he ordered: "After passing the heads of Zhang Ercheng and others nine times, allow their heads to be buried." ”

After Zhang Ercheng and the others were taken down, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to Ma Shi and Zhang Ande.

These two guys came back defeated.

The difference is that Zhang Ande fled to Zunhua after losing the battle, and Ma Shi simply didn't even fight, so he abandoned the pass and fled.

But the two have one thing in common.

Whether it was Ma Shi who directly abandoned the pass and fled, or Zhang Ande who fled after losing the battle, he ran away with the people.

Although it is said that the food and money in the people's homes will definitely be destroyed by the slaves, at least the people have been saved.

According to the law of Da Ming, there is no need to think much about this kind of responsibility for losing land, it is 100% a matter of losing your head.

The main reason why Xiong Tingbi's unlucky bastard was cool after being calculated was also in the four words of responsibility for losing his land.

But Emperor Chongzhen is a traveler after all, not the original idiot, but now he is a little difficult.

According to the law of the Great Ming, these two people are dead.

But because these two people were protecting the people, Emperor Chongzhen was reluctant to hang up these two people.

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen grabbed the dagger, cut off a piece of newly grown hair, and said: "You two are guilty of losing their land, and they should have died."

Although Zhang Ande lost his land and fled, he kept the people from losing, which is his merit.

Ma Shi is also guilty of losing his land, but the cause is Zhang Wanchun, so it's no wonder you.

Although both of you have meritorious service in protecting the people, and I have cut my hair to replace the sins of the two of you, the Ming Dynasty has its own laws.

Now although the death penalty is forgiven, the living crime cannot be escaped. Zhang Ande and Ma Shiji fought for 20 years, cutting officials for the people.

Can you two take it? ”

Just stay alive!

Ma Shi and Zhang Ande have long been psychologically prepared, after all, a big guy like Xiong Tingbi sang Liangliang because of the responsibility of losing the land, what can their two little generals be considered?

The two of them thanked each other, but Emperor Chongzhen said again: "Ma Aiqing's injuries are better?" ”

Ma Shi said strongly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is fine." ”

After Emperor Chongzhen snorted, he continued: "You should recuperate for half a month first, and after half a month, you will enter the West Factory and follow Wei Zhongxian on an errand." ”

After Ma Shi and Zhang Ande were also taken down, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to Zhu Guoyan again.

Zhu Guoyan is also very difficult to deal with.

Although he said that he was thinking about the people of his Santun camp, the situation of refusing friendly troops to enter was also obvious.

After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Zhu Aiqing refused Zhao Aiqing to enter the Santun camp, which caused the fighter plane to be delayed and Jiannu escaped a lot, this is the way."

However, Zhu Aiqing led his troops to battle again and stopped more than 2,000 Jiannu horsemen, which is a merit.

Thirty rods for excesses; If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and you will be given three thousand taels of silver. What does Zhu Aiqing think? ”

Zhu Guoyan bowed and said: "The minister's decree, thank Your Majesty for your grace." ”

Now this kind of situation of being beaten but getting money has exceeded the best situation in Zhu Guoyan's imagination.

If Emperor Chongzhen did not drive the expedition in person, if Huangtaiji's dog slave did not choose to run away from the direction of Santun Camp, then he refused to allow Zhao to lead his troops into Santun Camp to assist in the defense.

It's just that who would have thought that Huang Taiji's dog slave would run away to Santun camp?

However, his own troops are insufficient, if the 4,000 elite cavalry under the command of Zhao Shujiao are also in the Santun camp, then Jiannu will not leave 2,000, and may have to leave more than 5,000.

Seeing that Zhu Guoyan was also thanksgiving, Emperor Chongzhen spoke again: "Aiqing and the others are all serving the country, and they are all protecting the people of the Ming Dynasty, and those who can block swords and guns for themselves on the battlefield are these brothers who live and die."

Zhu Aiqing's matter was circulated in the form of a report throughout the Ming Dynasty, and such things will not be allowed to happen again in the future, do you write it down? ”

The hearts of everyone present were awe-inspiring.

Emperor Chongzhen's words were obviously not said to Zhu Guoyan alone, but to everyone present.

Is a soldier, a soldier who is not competitive and is worried about being robbed of his merits can still be considered a soldier? Does it have to be a soldier who learns from Yuan Dadu to share the exploits of his colleagues?

It is precisely because of this, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty went up and down, even when President Jiang was in power in later generations, it was not uncommon for them to be hostile to friendly forces and worry about friendly forces stealing merit.

But in the same way, under mutual hostility, who will save them when they are in trouble?

Emperor Chongzhen didn't watch those divine dramas and "divine dramas" less.

But no matter which one it is, the phrase "for the sake of the party and the state" made the most impression on Emperor Chongzhen.

When he is in trouble, he asks the friendly army to pull a "brother" for the sake of the party-state, but does he really regard the friendly army as a brother in normal times?

Regarding this situation, Emperor Chongzhen said that he couldn't bear it, he couldn't do anything in the past, and he had to slowly change these stinky problems in the future.

After everyone present bowed down, Emperor Chongzhen turned his gaze back to Zhang Wanchun.

After sneering, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "What now? What else did General Zhang say? ”

At this time, it was Emperor Chongzhen's bad taste that attacked.

Originally, in his previous life, Emperor Chongzhen was still a little white for a long time - Xiao Bai thought that there was a certain amount of truth in saving the country by curves.

But later, after more contact, I realized that any curve to save the country is all bullshit.

Will the enemy not invade you because you kneel and beg for mercy and sacrifice your son?

The enemy will not come to kill your people and rob your land because you are honest as a grandson?

Bullshit curves save the country!

Those who do not surrender and choose to die standing become fools?

Five thousand years ago, the Chinese nation faced the same flood as the Egyptians;

Four thousand years ago, we played with bronze like the ancient Babylonians;

Three thousand years ago, he thought about philosophy like the Greeks;

Two thousand years ago, he fought like the Romans.

Thousands of years have passed, the world's mahjong table in addition to the Chinese nation, the rest of the players have changed several rounds.

By what?

It is not the rolling crooked patients who rely on some bullshit curve to save the country, but those "fools" who choose to stand up and generously go to the national disaster when the nation is in danger!

Cowardice is cowardice, capitulationism is capitulationism, and the fucking has to be so high, what kind of curve to save the country.

Is this really living with his daughter-in-law, and after off his daughter-in-law, he wants to make his daughter-in-law happy?

His mother!

It was precisely because of this indignant attack in his heart that Emperor Chongzhen teased the Ming version of the rolling crooked patient Zhang Wanchun.

The coldness in Emperor Chongzhen's words, Zhang Wanchun is not a fool, why can't he hear it?

Between the two wars, they couldn't say a word.

In this situation, Zhang Wanchun can be regarded as having understood.

No matter how many reasons his own people come up with, Emperor Chongzhen can still go back.

It's just that the next time I am scolded, it may not be the weight of Ma Shi and Zhang Ande.

It is very likely to be Su Wu, Yue Fei and the like.

Zhang Wanchun, who knew that he would never be spared, took a deep breath and bowed: "The sinner deserves death, and he is at the mercy of His Majesty." ”

Emperor Chongzhen hummed before he continued: "Since you have said that you deserve to die for your crimes, then Ling Chi will stop." Your whole family will accompany you on Huangquan Road, and Aiqing doesn't have to feel lonely. ”

Zhang Wanchun, who was in a state of death, wanted to say something more, but Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand directly and ordered someone to take him down.

After the guilty and the half-meritorious were dealt with, Emperor Chongzhen set his sights on Zhao Shujiao and Sun Zushou.

Zhao Shujiao has the name Emperor Chongzhen has the impression that when the battlefield is on the battlefield, he can be called a loyal minister.

Where did Sun Zushou come from, Emperor Chongzhen said that he didn't know at all.

But a silver-haired old man over sixty years old scattered all his wealth to build a slave for himself, this matter is not simply a compliment.
