Chapter 515: Why Die

This general of the Qing army is Shi Mingxiong, the commander of the Yellow Banner of the Han Army.

He stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, looking straight at Zhao Jiu with strong teeth and teeth in front of him, and he wanted to cut this person into meat sauce immediately, but when he thought of Huang Taiji's order, he could only endure the anger in his heart, and just ordered his soldiers to tie up this Zhao Jiu on the spot.

After tying Zhao Jiu up, Shi Mingxiong personally led the team and escorted Zhao Jiu to walk briskly in the direction where Huang Taiji was.

Not far away, Huang Taiji looked coldly, and the Tang Army soldier who was tied up by the five flowers was pushed and scolded by a group of Qing soldiers and brought to him.

At this moment, his inner heart is indescribable, but on his face, he still tries to remain silent.

Shi Mingxiong, the commander of the Han army, personally led the team in front, and he looked at Huang Taiji not far away with a frightened look, as if he wanted to judge his next fate from his facial expressions.

It's just that he saw that Huang Taiji's cold eyes were all on the captured Tang Army soldier, and his heart suddenly felt a little relaxed.

Soon, after the seriously injured Tang Army soldier was pushed in front of Huang Taiji by this group of wolf-like Qing soldiers, a Qing soldier stepped forward, slammed him to the ground with both hands, and then kicked him fiercely.

This kick hit Zhao Jiu's waist and eye hard, and Zhao Jiu let out a terrible roar in pain, and when the Qing soldier wanted to kick again, he was stopped by Huang Taiji.

"Stop fighting, help him to his feet." Huang Taiji said coldly.

Two Bakash soldiers stepped forward, one by one hand Zhao Jiu, who was lying on the ground, tremblingly helped up, Zhao Jiu opened his eyelids sticky with dust, and looked at Huang Taiji in front of him who was as fat as an ox, his expression seemed to be thinking, who was this strong man who was surrounded by a group of white tooth soldiers.

"What's your name?" Huang Taiji stared into Zhao Jiu Muran's eyes and asked softly.

Zhao Jiu looked the armored Huang Taiji up and down, and then replied with a sneer: "Why are you asking me, then who are you?" ”

"Bold!"

Shi Mingxiong on the side had an angry face and wanted to beat him with his fist, but he was stopped by Huang Taiji.

Shi Mingxiong made a look of hatred and retreated to the side, but he was thinking repeatedly in his heart about whether his performance would leave a good impression on Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji turned around, squeezed out a smile on Da Pie's face and said, "Are you asking me, then I tell you that I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji." ”

Zhao Jiu sighed, but replied with a sneer: "It turns out that you are the Tartar Emperor." You ask me what my name is, and the uncle will tell you that Uncle Ben will not change his name, and he will not change his surname, Zhao Jiu is also! “

Huang Taiji sneered: "Oh, it turns out that your name is Zhao Jiu, well, I want to ask you, you can sneak out of this inner city to the western city wall, but from which secret passage?" Where is this secret passage? “

Zhao Jiu listened to Huang Taiji's question, but he raised his head and laughed non-stop, his face was dusty, his mouth was covered with blood, and the appearance of his smile was very terrifying and terrifying.

Shi Mingxiong next to him couldn't help but shout again: "Bastard, what are you laughing at as a thief!" Why don't you answer my question from the emperor of the Qing Dynasty quickly! “

Zhao Jiu stopped laughing, glanced at Shi Mingxiong and Huang Taiji coldly, and said sharply: "Phew! You dog-in-the-top Tartars, what do you ask Zhao Ye, Zhao Ye and I have to answer something? Let me tell you, this matter is a matter of our army's secrets, Zhao Ye, I would rather die than confide a word! “

"Wow, you is really looking for death! General, I'll cut you right now! “

Shi Mingxiong was furious, brushed the ground and pulled out his waist knife, and was about to slash at Zhao Jiu's head.

"Stand down, don't make a mistake!"

Huang Taiji let out another cold drink, Shi Mingxiong shuddered when he heard this, and the waist knife suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He whispered hatefully again and stepped aside.

Huang Taiji coughed lightly, but a smile still appeared on his face: "Zhao Jiu, the so-called great favor is nothing more than death." I don't understand, what kind of preferential treatment did Li Xiao's Tang Army give you, so that you can die for him like this? “

Zhao Jiu heard this, but laughed a few times before he replied in a deep voice: "You Tartar chief, do you want to know, why do I work so desperately for Lord Li, well, let me tell you, you open your dog's ears, so listen!" “

Zhao Jiu took a mouthful of blood foam in his mouth, and his face swelled with memories, he sighed lightly and said: "I, Zhao Jiu, my hometown is in Zhangde Mansion, Henan, in the ninth year of Chongzhen, you Tartars entered the customs, invaded my Zhangde Mansion in Henan from Beizhili, and wantonly burned and plundered, my whole family had nothing to survive, so I had to drag my family with my mouth, leave my hometown, and go to Nanyang Mansion in the south to seek refuge with relatives." Who knows, after you Tartars retreated, the Ming Dynasty foreign bandits resurged, a large number of thieves invaded the Nanyang area, and countless people of good duty were struggling to survive on the line of death. My family was no exception, my eldest brother and younger brother died in the rebellion, and only me, my mother and sister escaped alive, and my family was forced to become homeless people, fleeing in all directions, and was about to die in the wilderness. “

When Zhao Jiu said this, his face was full of regret, but suddenly, his face was filled with inexplicable vitality, and his voice was much louder: "Who knows that the sky is endless, and when my whole family is desperate and almost destined to become a roadside corpse that dies of hunger and cold, Lord Li, the king of Pingliao, sent a civil official from the Supervision Department to search for displaced people, give them food and clothing, and arrange to settle in Nanyang, so my family was lucky to be rescued." The benevolence, righteousness and kindness of the King of Pingliao are not only a charcoal in the snow for us and other dying people, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a white bone and a flesh recovery! “

When Zhao Jiu said this, he suddenly found that there was silence around him, and everyone, including Huang Taiji, was listening to him intently.

At this time, Zhao Jiu's face full of memories swelled with a faint smile, and he muttered and continued: "It is precisely because I waited for my life to be good and met Lord Li, the Buddha of the Ten Thousand Families who rescued the suffering, that I got this extremely precious opportunity to live, and finally the dead wood met spring and regained its vitality. From then on, our family was arranged by Master Li to settle in Luzon, where he gave us land and cattle seeds, so that our family could feed themselves in the land of Luzon and live like people again. Therefore, from that time on, I, Zhao Jiu, secretly resolved that if I have a chance in the future, I must repay this Lord Li who made our family live a good life again, even if I sacrificed my life for him, I would not hesitate to do so! “

Zhao Jiu said eagerly, coughed a few times, and continued: "Later, my Tang Army expanded its recruitment of soldiers and horses, and I was able to enter the Tang Army and become an auxiliary. Subsequently, I followed General Li Dingguo to fight everywhere, almost all over the South Seas. After the pacification of Nanyang, we were recruited by the king of Pingliao to this land of Vladivostok and build a castle here as a long-term strategy. Of course, our army built this fort to destroy you damned Tartars, and a bridgehead specially built will take your dog's life in the future, haha. “

Hearing Zhao Jiu's presumptuous words, Shi Mingxiong's face swelled with anger again, and he was about to step forward, but Huang Taiji stopped with his eyes again.

After Zhao Jiu laughed, he snorted, and said: "Tell you, our army sneaked here this time and sneaked up the artillery of your Tartars, originally came with the heart of death, and I didn't think that I could go back alive at all." Now all the team members have died, only Zhao Ye and I, who have lost our luck and become your prisoners. It's hateful, it's hateful that Lao Tzu didn't die on the battlefield and was able to go on the road with his brothers. But Zhao Ye, I'm not afraid to tell you, although we will die in the end, General Li Dingguo said that after we sacrifice, we can give me the highest amount of bereavement, and my family and relatives will also have money and food from Lord Li, the king of Pingliao, every day, and a month, and I will support my old age. With such conditions, we are waiting to die, but it is enough to blind, so what is the pity! ”

When Zhao Jiu said this, he seemed to come back to his senses from infinite memories, and he sighed lightly: "Tartar chieftain, now you understand, why are the soldiers of our army willing to serve Lord Li." Because in this bloody and troubled world, only Lord Li can give me a quiet land, give our whole family hope to live in peace, and let every Tang Army soldier die without any worries. And you beast-hearted Tartars may never understand how prosperous and popular you will be under Lord Li's rule. Tell you, don't say that this time I am willing to serve Lord Li's death, even if I serve to die ten more times, I, Zhao Jiu, will never blink an eye! “

Listening to Zhao Jiu's words, Huang Taiji's face was pale, although he tried to keep calm on his face, his heart was undulating, surging and unsettled.

If this Li Xiao, for the common people under his rule, really has such a great centripetal force and support as Zhao Jiu said, don't say that the crumbling Ming Dynasty, even the Qing Dynasty, which seems to be on the rise of the national fortunes, is far inferior.

Li Xiao's guy, who is so popular with the people, good at planning, good at battle, good at economy, such a heroic figure through the ages, and the invisible empire under his rule, is really a nightmare that cannot be erased by the Qing Dynasty.

Huang Taiji suddenly felt that he had no interest in continuing to ask this Zhao Jiu. At this time, he only felt an indescribable tiredness, which hit his whole body, making him feel extremely depressed and tired.

Killing one Zhao Jiu, under Li Xiao's rule, there are tens of millions of Zhao Jiu, there are so many people who are willing to serve him together, how can he conquer them one by one.

If Li Xiao, who is so heartily loved by the people, finally successfully completes the transformation of the army and thoroughly digests and develops the land under his rule, the amazing energy that this person bursts out may be far inferior to the Ming and Qing dynasties combined.

Could it be that my Great Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty of Chongzhen will one day in the future become the food in the mouth of Li Xiao, the sky-swallowing tiger......

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji could feel that there seemed to be a sudden chill on his back, which made him shiver.

It's just that, considering the dignity of the emperor, he still tried his best to suppress his bad feelings, and continued to say to Zhao Jiu calmly: "Zhao Jiu, I already understand what you said. It's just that I'm going to give you a chance to live. As long as you tell the location of this secret passage of the Tang Army, I can spare your life. “

Listening to Huang Taiji's words, Zhao Jiu laughed again and again, and he shouted at Huang Taiji: "Phew! You Tartar chieftain, Zhao Ye is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, you want to use such a trick to lure me into telling the secrets of our army, but you can't! You don't talk nonsense anymore, if you want to kill or chop, just do it quickly! “

Huang Taiji didn't expect that this Zhao Jiu would be so strong, looking like he didn't eat hard and soft, so his face instantly became extremely cold.

And what he didn't expect was that just as he was about to give the order to let this Zhao Jiu be dragged down and cut down, this Zhao Jiu, with a sudden roar, suddenly broke free from the hands of the two Bakash soldiers. Like an angry lion, he roared and rushed towards Huang Taiji.

This Zhao Jiu, who seemed to be seriously injured, suddenly erupted, shocking the group of white-toothed soldiers beside Huang Taiji who were stunned for a while, and when they were stunned, Zhao Jiu, who was like a mad beast, had almost rushed to Huang Taiji's side.

"Stop, stop him!"

Seeing Zhao Jiu rushing towards him, and his own guards were stunned for a moment, Huang Taiji was shocked and angry, and he felt even more ashamed in his heart, and he shouted at this group of white tooth soldiers.

The emperor shouted loudly, and the white tooth soldiers came back to their senses, and they quickly arched in front of Huang Taiji, with swords and guns in their hands, stabbing towards Zhao Jiu fiercely.

A stack of popping sounds came from Zhao Jiu's body densely, and at least three waist knives and two tiger spears stabbed Zhao Fa in the chest and abdomen at the same time.

Zhao Jiu puffed, blood spurted wildly in his mouth, slowly lowered his head, and after carefully seeing the various weapons that pierced his body deeply, his body immediately weakened and fell to the ground silently.

"Mother, Zhao Jiu is not filial, I can't serve your old man......"

This was the last sentence that Zhao Jiu said before his pupils dilated.

Then, like a dying wasp, he twitched violently, and then he did not move. It's just that at this moment, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A group of white-toothed soldiers were annoyed and angry, and they roared and rushed forward, wanting to chop Zhao Jiu into meat sauce, but they were stopped by Huang Taiji's shouting.

Huang Taiji paced slowly, came to Zhao Jiu's corpse, and stared expressionlessly for a long time before he said lightly: "Although this person is an enemy army, he is loyal and commendable." Just leave him a whole corpse so that he can be buried alive. “

After Huang Taiji said this, he let out a long sigh, and left in the direction of the Chinese army's tent without looking back.

It's just that he walked halfway, but suddenly stood still.

Then, he slowly turned his head, and two extremely cold gazes, like sharp swords, fell straight on Shi Mingxiong, the commander of the Han army.

Seeing Huang Taiji leaving, Shi Mingxiong, who originally felt relieved, suddenly saw Huang Taiji who was standing, and threw these two sword-like glances at him, and he couldn't help but shudder.

Okay, this fierce Tartar Emperor is finally going to take his own knife.
