Chapter 367 The Great Tribulation Doesn't Die One More 4,000 words
When the ship docked, the two prisoner cars were driven off the boat, and Hong Chengchou followed, and when they arrived at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon, they knew that they had fallen into a big trap.
People are real, they never stole the beams and changed the pillars, Lin Yi really put them back, there are a lot of three people, this is genuine, not adulterated at all.
But the point is that only one of the three is alive, and the other two are dead!
The two faces of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon suddenly changed color, a stunning beautiful face became red and white, the curved willow eyebrows were erected, the blood-like red lips turned purple, and a pair of slender jade hands trembled.
Dolgon's big face of winter melon instantly turned into a green eggplant, his breathing became short, and his eyes almost gurgled out of his sockets.
Of course, he was the most angry.
A group of living people were exchanged for a living person and two rotten and moldy corpses, the key is that among this group of living people, there are really women who Dolgon is reluctant to, although these women have served Lin Dan Khan and Hauge, and now they come to serve him Dolgon, but he feels that he has not enjoyed enough, so he was replaced like this, and he feels regretful that he has lost the pearl.
And if he really wants to replace his own brother back, although this is his political enemy, but after all, the two brothers crawled out of the womb of a mother, and the friendship between brothers still exists.
But in fact, it was actually exchanged for a rotting corpse!
How could Dolgon endure it? Looking at the corpse of Prince Ying, Dolgon really wanted to cry, but he deserved to be Dolgon, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, his body shook a few times, and after opening his eyes, he returned to normal.
But it was she who couldn't get back to normal, it was he who remembered the women again.
He can even care if his brother lives or dies, but the loss of these women like this is painful.
Probably these second-hand women and third-hand women are more flavorful to the Tartars!
Why don't these Manchu Tartars be good for this one? Daishan, Jierharang, Amin, Huang Taiji, Dolgon, Haoge, and so on, the elites of the Aixin Jueluo family, all did this kind of thing.
A son can inherit his father's woman, and a brother or elder brother can inherit each other's woman, so what kind of woman can't touch these Tartars? No wonder that Prince Yu Duoduo actually fell in love with Fan Wencheng's wife.
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon could not accept it in any way, what they saw just now was not only different from what they saw now, it was a world of difference!
Looking across the river, Azig and Aobai were still turning their heads to each other just now, as if they were talking in the prison car, and in the blink of an eye, two carrion corpses were in the prison car.
Now they even smelled the pungent smell of alcohol, and if they looked closely at one of these two corpses, they were sweating, but it was not sweat, it was the ice in the armor that melted in the sun, and the ice water could not hide anything.
One man's head was obviously sewn with a tanner, the other's hand was also a fake hand, and the faces of the two men had to be called faces, and there was no one to look at it for a long time, and the flesh and skin had long since changed color, and it seemed that the time of death was at least ten days and a half months ago, otherwise the corpse would not rot and become moldy, and would have to be maintained by wine and ice.
When they looked at the big wooden cage in the prisoner car, they were even more angry, because the big wooden cage contained a small wooden cage, and the people in the prisoner car were sitting on the small cage.
The small wooden cage contained two goats and some grass in them. The goat's neck and legs are tied to the armor of Azig and Aobai with ropes, and of course the goat does not bark when there is grass to eat, but his constant movement in it will cause the heads of Azig and Aobai to move.
From a distance, it was Azig and Aobai shaking their heads or nodding their heads to speak.
This is due, even if the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon want to break their heads, they can't think of it.
What they didn't expect was that this strategy was not thought up by Lin Yi, but by their Qing Dynasty's military secretary and right deputy Yushi Hong Chengchou for Lin Yi.
This loss is too violent!
The surname Lin is so tricky?
Of course, this matter can't be left like this, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang turned pale with anger, Dolgon rolled her eyes, and the two of them were suddenly annoyed and angry.
"Someone, shoot me!"
"Aim at Lin Yi and those women, give me a bang!"
"Wait!" At this time, Hong Chengchou knelt down with a plop, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Queen Mother, prince, and stop the anger of thunder, the criminal minister has a love in return."
Hong Chengchou didn't appear, so it's okay not to speak. The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon are both angry now, and they don't come out when they see Hong Chengchou.
The two of them gritted their teeth and didn't settle accounts with you, you must know the inside story of this matter, why didn't you tell me earlier, you are trying to save your dog's life, you have betrayed the Qing Dynasty, you are really bold, and you dare to come back and talk more?
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon resisted the anger that was about to explode, and their eyes shot like two sharp swords at Hong Chengchou, who was kneeling on the ground.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Back to the Queen Mother and the Prince Regent." Hong Chengchou kowtowed upward, "Prince Ying Azig and the commander of the escort army, Lord Ao, had been martyred in the battle of Ningjin a few days ago, and the breakthrough that night was fought from the third watch to dawn, the two armies, 20,000 horses and men were all wiped out, and after dawn, the Ming army occupied Jinzhou City, and even the criminal ministers became their prisoners. โ
"The criminal minister thanked the emperor and the regent for his long grace, and vowed not to surrender, but Lin Yi made an exception and did not kill the criminal minister, and the criminal minister has survived until now. Later, the criminal minister learned that Lin Yi kept the criminal minister because he planned to build a contract with our Qing Dynasty, and the two sides would make a truce and stop fighting. The criminal knows very well that I am in turmoil, powerless to fight against the Ming Dynasty, and urgently needs to recuperate, and the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty should not fight, and peace will be prosperous, and war will die, so he made his own decisions and compromised with Lin Yi, so there is today's change of horses...... The criminal minister did this completely for the sake of the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty, and he had no selfish motives. โ
As soon as Hong Chengchou's words fell, Dolgon couldn't hold back anymore and kicked him to the ground.
The Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang looked hideous and scolded: "Damn dog minion, someone will drag him down, and the five horses will be divided!"
Someone promised to come over a few Qing soldiers, armed with knives and guns, like wolves and tigers, and it was impossible to say that they were holding his two arms and dragging them away like a dead dog.
Hong Chengchou shouted, "The queen mother, the regent prince, Weichen is guilty...... It's not a pity for Weichen to die, but he must not fight with Daming again...... When the two sides exchanged hostages, the Ming army was ready for 600 red-coated cannons and 20,000 advanced muskets, and more than 100,000 troops...... If we continue to fight, I will have to destroy the country......"
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang listened to Hong Chengchou's words and gritted her teeth in anger.
She regrets it so much that her intestines are green now, she really shouldn't have given her gentle persuasion to surrender to him, this soft bone will betray Daming one day, and it will inevitably betray my Daqing one day, how did she miscalculate this. Otherwise, why would there be such a humiliation today?
Xiaozhuang shouted a little out of shape: "This capricious dog slave surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and betrayed my Daqing, and he still dares to talk nonsense here, hurry up and execute, five horses and corpses, quickly!"
"Queen Mother, the criminal minister is not alarmist, and what the criminal minister said is true...... The queen mother hates the minister, and the guilty minister can be executed, but the loyalty of the guilty minister has never changed, the conscience of heaven and earth, the grace of the queen mother, the guilty minister is unforgettable......"
Hong Chengchou shouted and no one paid attention to him, and he was dragged to a wide area, where five executed Tartar soldiers came on five horses, and a long rope wrapped around his neck, arms, and legs.
"The Queen Mother, the Prince Regent, Lin Yi has promised to negotiate with the Queen Mother and the Prince Regent to strike the army after changing generals, and today's matter is really a last resort, and the loyalty of the criminal minister to the Qing Dynasty can be shown to the sun and the moon, every day can be expressed, every day can be expressedโโ"
Hong Chengchou still shouted.
At this time, the five Tartars on the horse destroyed the war horse, and the rope that held Hong Chengchou was tightened, and Hong Chengchou's whole person became a "big" shape.
As long as each of these five Tartars smoked a horsewhip and sat down, and the horses rushed forward, Hong Chengchou would be torn in half, and now he could clearly feel the strong pull in the five directions.
An old man in his 50s, after several twists and turns, is now skinny and skinny, these 5 high-headed fierce horses, without much effort, can pull his old bones apart.
At that moment, Hong Chengchou was discouraged, and he stopped shouting.
Because Hong Chengchou didn't expect that he could end up in such a tragic end. Once upon a time, he was a dependent minister of the Ming Dynasty, but he was not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, because he did not keep his bottom line, and in the face of the infinite tenderness of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, he disarmed and surrendered.
Since then, he has been determined to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and probably he also knows that traitors and ministers are infamous, and loyal ministers and filial sons are respected by everyone.
However, severe tests, one after another, followed, and as an important minister of the Qing Dynasty, he did not give in after being captured by the Ming Dynasty.
But I didn't expect that he died in the hands of his own people, and he was still divided into five horses, and the crime turned out to be "conviction of the country".
If you want to know today, why bother in the beginning? How good it is to wipe his neck in front of Lin Yi when he was captured, or hang himself with a three-foot white silk, or a bowl of poison, this is to die by stabbing the abdomen with a dagger, although it is a woman's way to die, but it is much more comfortable than this.
It seems that being a traitor really doesn't end well, I won't talk about it in this life, if there is an afterlife, I Hong Chengchou, make a heavy oath, and I will not be a traitor in the next eight lives!
Thinking of this, he bit his teeth and closed his eyes, waiting here for death.
"Ready, execution!" One of the leaders of the Tartars shouted at the top of his voice.
At the last moment, Dorgon shouted: "Slow down, leave people behind!"
It was a tartar and he didn't dare to move.
This is Dolgon came to the front of the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, and said in a low voice: "Empress Dowager, this person can't be killed."
"Why?" The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was still angry, and her whole body was still trembling.
"Kill him, we will have nothing, Queen Mother, please think, we will get three corpses, it will make people laugh through the ages in the future, now that I am using people in the Qing Dynasty, it can be seen that she should not betray our Daqing." This time, although he is hateful, he deserves to be punished for his crimes, but with the plans of my ancestors in the Qing Dynasty, I still keep him for good, please think twice. โ
Speaking of this, Dolgon took a deep breath and let out another long breath, he deserved to be Dolgon, he was so angry, he forced himself to calm down at the critical moment.
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was so angry that her eyes closed for a long time, and then slowly opened them again, he felt that Dolgon was right.
If they really killed Hong Chengchou in a fit of rage, they really exchanged a group of living women for three dead men, and they were beaten with chickens and eggs, and they had nothing.
Not only that, the loss of the Qing Dynasty is not only a matter of missing a few people, the lack of Chahar troops, and the loss of Hong Chengchou is equivalent to the removal of two pillars from the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang felt that she was in a mess, and it seemed that at the critical moment, she was not as calm as Dolgon, so she nodded to him and agreed.
In this way, Hong Chengchou's seven souls and six spirits came back after a circle at the Lord of Yama, and the Tartars untied the rope for him.
At this time, Hong Chengchou was lying motionless on the ground, and he had already fainted......
When he woke up, he knew that it was Dolgon and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang who pardoned him for his innocence, Hong Chengchou came to the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang, and Dolgon knelt down and crawled a few steps forward and kowtowed.
"The criminal minister Empress Dowager Xie, thank the regent for not killing the grace......"
The anger of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang gradually subsided, she knew that this person was still very valuable, and let the past things pass for the time being, so she said slowly: "Get up, this account will be remembered by the mourning family for you."
"The guilty minister knows that the queen mother's great kindness and great virtue will be remembered by the guilty minister, and the micro-minister will definitely make up for his mistakes, spare no effort to serve the queen mother, be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and do not hesitate to smear his liver and brain."
Hong Chengchou was alive and dead, and he was so grateful that he didn't know what to say. That kind of gratitude is even stronger than after the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang tempted him to surrender.
So far, Hong Chengchou has escaped another catastrophe.
Immediately afterwards, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon asked him about the peace talks with the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dolgon are not stupid, and when they calm down and analyze the situation in front of them, Hong Chengchou sees nothing fake.
If they continue to fight, the Ming army will hit their Beijing division overnight, because it is only two or three hundred miles away from the Qing Jing Division, and the defense of Sanchahe Castle is too far away from the Ningjin defense line, and the land of projectiles can withstand the charge of 200,000 Ming troops.
What's more, now that the British prince Azig is gone, the first warrior of Manchuria, Ao Bai, is also dead, Dolgon is recovering from a serious illness, and the Qing Dynasty is short of military commanders, is there still a way to fight this battle?
At this time, if Lin Yi was really willing to sit down and talk to them, of course he couldn't ask for it.
Hong Chengchou said: "Queen Mother, Regent, this matter is on Weichen."
After finishing speaking, Hong Chengchou led people to the high place by the river, and shouted to Lin Yi on the other side of the river: "Lord Lin, the change of generals has been successfully completed, according to the agreement between the two sides, the Ming army should retreat, and then send an envoy to negotiate the boycott of the war between the two sides, Lord Lin will not be untrustworthy!"
The old man's shouting was not loud, but the loud shouts of his soldiers were amplified several times together, and it came across the river......
At this time, Lin Yi and other soldiers of the Ming army were happy, the dead for the living went through several twists and turns, and finally succeeded under the tense confrontation of thousands of soldiers, it was not easy!
In the future, the Bahrain and Ezhe brothers will definitely be grateful for Lin Yi's kindness, and the relationship between Chahar and Daming will be unbreakable for a period of time in the future, which is undoubtedly the common well-being of the people of Daming and thousands of Chahar people, and the significance is large and far-reaching.
Of course, the happiest are the Bahrain and Ezhe brothers, they pulled a few mothers and relatives to cry with joy, and came to Lin Yi to pay a big salute in front of them, Lin Yi smiled and asked them not to be polite, they will be a family in the future.
At this moment, Lin Yi heard Hong Chengchou and the others on the other side shouting.
Lin Yi laughed when he heard this, "Ho, the surname Hong's life is really big, he actually survived, what, do you really want to negotiate peace with this prison country?" It's okay to talk about peace, but this prison country has to send him a letter of thanks first, and then say, this time the dead are exchanged for the living, and he Hong Chengchou has made a lot of contributions, so if this prison country doesn't thank him, he won't go! โ
