[164] King Sanshun returned to Shun
"Look at it, look at it~~~ The Han people just can't believe it~" Azig held a letter and kept shaking in front of Dolgon, as if it was a white dove with wings ready to fly
Dolgon smoked a large cigarette pouch and said, "Did you read the handwriting?" Is it Kong Youde's handwriting? ”
Azig scolded: "It's been a long time ago, and it is said that it is Kong Youde's handwriting.? Bayi Chinese Net ???.? 8. Han dogs~~ are all from both ends of the Qin and Twilight and rats. ”
"Who gave you this letter?" Dorgon said unhurriedly
"It's Geng Zhongming~" Azig said
Dorgon laughed, "Then you believe him?" Maybe Geng Zhongming was bribed by the Han people and deliberately separated Kong Youde from us. ”
Azig shook his head, "I heard that Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming have a good relationship, and Geng Zhongming has no reason to fall into the well like this." ”
Dolgon pleasantly exhaled a smoke ring, "What is the reaction of Kong Youde's men?" ”
Azig replied, "Most of them are clamoring to go to Jinzhou to save Kong Youde. But under the control of Sun Long, Cao Dexian, Xian Guoan, and Ma Xiong, there was no major incident. ”
Dorgon nodded and said, "They have the finest firearms of my Qing Dynasty, and although the number is only three thousand, they are a strong army. ”
Azig disagreed~
Dolgon smiled, "If Kong Youde can't come back, isn't that just the right time to give me a chance?" At that time, I will be able to subdue these soldiers to my advantage. ”
Azig smiled, "So what do we do with it?" ”
Dorgon put his cigarette pouch aside, "I've thought about it, we're always out of town, we're too passive, and we have to go back to Hetuara to make a move in the shortest possible time. ”
"However, without a holy decree or an order from the Ministry of War, leading troops to Xingjing without authorization is a conspiracy!" Azig was surprised
Dolgon smiled and said, "So it's not us who lead the troops back, but Kong Youde's subordinates who go back to Xingjing to petition and ask them to fight to Jinzhou and save their king." ”
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
In the camp tent of Kong Youde's army, Sun Long, Cao Dexian, Xian Guoan, and Ma Xiong, the three most trusted leaders of Kong Youde, were sitting around the fire, looking at the constantly beating flames.
After a long time, Xian Guoan looked at Sun Long and said: "Old Sun, you are usually the closest to the prince, and the prince has promised his daughter to marry your son, what to do about this, you have to give an idea." ”
"What else can I do?" Sun Long said: "Either like the prince, return to the Ming Dynasty, or hit the golden state and leave the prince." Or~~~ continue to work hard for the Manchurian princes. Sun Long said helplessly
"Hit Golden State?" Cao Dexian smiled, "Is that possible?" ”
Ma Xiong smiled bitterly: "Now Prince Rui wants us to go to Xingjing to petition, I don't know if we can hit Jinzhou, but if we go to Xingjing to make a wish, we will definitely be treated as a rebellion." ”
"Hmph~~" Sun Long said disdainfully: "Petition? A prince has been captured, if the Manchurian lords really care about the prince, they will definitely try to save him, why do we need to petition? In my opinion, the Manchurians are vying for the throne, so they will use us as gunmen, and if we go to petition, we will definitely be treated as a rebellion. Whether Hauge or Dorgon is emperor, it will not do us any good. ”
Xian Guoan nodded, "I think Dolgon must be thinking about how to do it to us now, and want us to belong to him. ”
Ma Xiong was surprised: "Since you want us to belong to him, why do you want us to go to Xingjing to petition and send us to the knife?" ”
Sun Long sneered: "This is Wei, if we don't want to die, then we have to go to him now to show our loyalty." ”
Cao Dexian said angrily: "This Dolgon is not a thing, while the prince is away, do you want to take advantage of the fire to rob?" Damn, I want Lao Tzu to die, and Lao Tzu is almost the same as pulling him to die together~"
Line Guoan still looked at Sun Long and said: "Old Sun, this matter is waiting for you to say a word, if you say that you will fight to Jinzhou, my surname will be that I will die halfway without regrets." If you say that you want to renew the master, it is nothing more than to be a watchdog for the new master~~~"
Cao Dexian and Ma Xiong also looked at Sun Long, "Yes, Lao Sun will just say a word to you!" ”
Sun Long was embarrassed: "I also want to save the prince, but if we say it so lightly, more than 3,000 brothers may have no return." ”
"This is not good, then I am also afraid~ Old grandson, when are you so wilting?" Line Guoan said angrily
Sun Long hurriedly said: "Brother Guoan, don't be so angry all the time, aren't I thinking of a way to get the best of both worlds?" ”
"What's the solution?" Line Guoan's anger has not subsided
"It's to go back to the prince~" Sun Long said quietly
"You mean surrender to the Ming army?" Cao Dexian was surprised, "Is it possible?" ”
"How could it be?" Sun Long said: "The prince has been obedient, and he wrote back to persuade him to surrender, the prince is as kind to us as a mountain, how can we only care about our own selfish interests and ignore the prince's kindness to us for so many years?" ”
Cao Dexian nodded, and shook his head again, "If I die for the prince, I won't frown, but what if we are sincerely obedient, and the Ming army pretends to surrender and then kills us all?" ”
Line Guoan said with a smile: "Then no one will be obedient in the future, since the Ming army wants to surrender, it should not cut off the back road like this." ”
"Hmm~May~" Cao Dexian nodded and no longer shook his head
"Okay, then it's decided~" Sun Long took out his saber and put his palm on his arm, "We are allied by blood~ If anyone retreats from the battle, or betrays his brother, he will be thundered and will never live." ”
Cao Dexian, Xian Guoan, and Ma Xiong also cut their palms, and the four bloody big hands were clasped together, "We are a blood alliance, advance and retreat together, if there is a different heart, the sky will thunder, and it will not be good to die." ”
Before the four of them could finish speaking, a man strode into the tent and said with a smile: "What a bold man, he actually dares to gather a crowd to plot against the water." ”
The four of them didn't have time to think about it, Cao Dexian and Ma Xiongli were closest to the door, the two of them didn't look at it, grabbed the man and pressed it to the desk, Sun Long and Xian Guoan flipped their wrists, and they were about to stab the weapon in their hands at the back of the man's heart
"Huh? Shang Wang? Xian Guoan's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that the person was Shang Kexi, and quickly grabbed Sun Long's arm, "King Shang, don't blame us for turning our faces and being ruthless, we have to go to our prince's side." With that, Xian Guoan raised his knife again
"Wait~~ Kill me, and one less person will go with you~~" Shang Kexi hurriedly shouted
"You also want to go with you?" Sun Long was surprised
"I just want to joke with you, how do you know~~ Hey, if I want to tell the truth, why bother to make it again? Go straight to Dolgon. Shang Kexi couldn't laugh or cry
Cao Dexian and Ma Xiong glanced at each other, and then let go of Shang Kexi's hands that were cut back, "King Shang, it's better to have less of this kind of deadly joke in the future." Cao Dexian smiled: "You also know how fast the knife of the line Guoan is. ”
Shang Kexi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Our Shang, Geng, and Kong families are world friends, and it is precisely because the three of us advance and retreat together that we have a place in the Qing Dynasty, where the Manchurians have the final say." Now the Manchurians do not trust us, and the virtuous brothers have also returned to the Ming Dynasty, and we continue to stay in Manchuria, and the light ones are set aside, and the lives of the heavy ones are not guaranteed. Do you think that Dorgon, who was cunning like a fox, told you to petition? ”
Sun Long was stunned for a moment and asked, "Could it be that King Shang and King Geng are also asked to lead the troops back to Xingjing?" ”
Shang Kexi nodded solemnly
"Damn, the Manchurians still don't treat us as their own~" Xian Guoan scolded
Cao Dexian laughed at himself: "When did you treat us as human beings?" ”
Shang Kexi said: "Since the three of us have one heart, then let's go to Shun together, we are outnumbered, and the Ming army does not dare to surrender easily." ”
"Well~~ It's just that our three Han soldiers are good at firearms, and we can go, but firearms are inconvenient to carry and must be destroyed~" Ma Xiong said
Line Guoan smiled: "That's simple, the cannon's eye is nailed with nails, and the gunpowder is all watered." We only take the bird with us~"
Shang Kexi nodded, "Hmm~ I'll also go and prepare, let's do it together tonight." ”
As the saying goes, the people have a hundred hearts, although these five people have agreed, but after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and some people think that it is good to continue to be a slave of Jiannu, so they secretly ventilate the news.
So in April of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the Han army of Kong, Shang and Geng was defeated in the anti-water incident, and nearly 10,000 Han troops, only less than 2,000 people broke through the encirclement and defected to the Ming army in Gaizhou. However, fortunately, none of the main officers of the three battalions were killed or wounded, which preserved the foundation for the future reconstruction of the three battalions.
When Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming came to the annex in Jinzhou and saw the family members who they thought had been killed a long time ago, the two men who had been in a hundred battles couldn't help but cry. Song Youliang also scolded Jiannu, saying that in order to cut off the hearts of the three of them to return to the Ming Dynasty, Jiannu could fabricate rumors that he had killed their families, and he was vicious and vicious, beating the snake and scorpion.
Kong Youde, who was still hesitating, was moved to tears when he saw that his subordinates also risked death to return to obedience. And Sun Long, Cao Dexian, Xian Guoan, Ma Xiong and others were also very happy to see that the master's family was fine.
Song Youliang saw that the three traitors had successfully returned, so he took out the notebook from his arms and said: "The three of them are well aware of the righteousness and risk their lives to return to the Ming Dynasty, which is worthy of being written in the history books in the future." It's just that the three of you are the kings of Jiannu, and after you return, I'm afraid you will never be the king again. ”
Shang Kexi bowed to Song Youliang and said: "That day, I met the military gate at sea, and the military gate was already magnanimous regardless of the previous suspicions. Now I plead for Shang Mou, Shang Mou, I am grateful, I can't repay it, I just want to stay under the military tent and listen to it. As for the puppet king who built a slave, there is nothing to be nostalgic for. ”
Song Youliang said with a smile: "General Shang, the three of you can be civil and martial, as long as you serve the Ming Dynasty with your heart, it is difficult to guarantee that he will be crowned a prince again in the future." ”
Geng Zhongming heard this, but he had his own understanding, and he secretly said in his heart: This Song Youliang is the son-in-law of the vassal king, and he has a heavy army in his hands, in this troubled era, does he have the ambition of a king? Is it implying that as long as we follow him wholeheartedly, we can be crowned king again in the future?
