[163] Captured Kong Youde

Kong Youde was concentrating on carefully observing the terrain around Gaizhou City, thinking about where to set up cannons to maximize the power, and unconsciously got closer and closer to Gaizhou City, and the surrounding soldiers saw him so engrossed that they didn't dare to remind him, so they could only cheer up 100,000 points of spirit, and carefully guard around ~ ~ Suddenly, there was a lot of gunfire around, Kong Youde was startled, and before he could react, he saw that six or seven pro-soldiers had fallen in a pool of blood, "Catch the fine work~~~ Catch the fine work~~" The aftermath of the gunfire did not disappear, I saw a group of cavalry galloping from the east, west and south, and the number was no less than fifty, "It's not good~ I met the Ming army scout!" Kong Youde hurriedly turned the horse's head and fled north~~ I only heard another gunshot, Kong Youde only felt that his body sank, and the whole person threw forward violently, fortunately, Kong Youde was born in southern Liaoning since he was a child, and he was quite accomplished in equestrianism, so he immediately challenged the action and wanted to stabilize his body, but the inertia was too great, and he still fell to the ground and rolled out a foot away. The pebbles on the ground ruthlessly traced the exposed flesh and blood everywhere "Save the prince~~" A pro-soldier hurriedly jumped off the horse, and pushed Kong Youde, who was full of gold stars, onto the horse's back, and then whipped the horse's buttocks, "Protect the prince and go~" The pro-soldier roared, drew out his waist knife and stood in place, to protect Kong Youde to the death and retreat, he didn't roar so much, the cavalry of the Ming army on the opposite side heard that this was still a prince, where would he let it go? Seeing that the soldiers were standing in place with knives, as if they were desperate, a Ming cavalry said disdainfully: "That broken knife wants to fight with me?" ”

I saw his hand go around his back, take out a cavalry carbine, and aim it at the pro-soldier is a shot~~ The pro-soldier fell in response, and a bloody hole in his chest was bleeding outward, and Kong Youde couldn't help but be shocked, when did the cavalry of the Ming army be so powerful that they could fire firearms on horseback? And hit it so accurately? Kong Youde understood that his mount might have been killed in this way. However, Kong Youde didn't think much about it, and quickly leaned down and lay on the horse's back, so as not to be hit by a musket, but God made up his mind today to get along with Kong Youde, only to hear another burst of gunfire, Kong Youde felt his body sink again, and was thrown out by the injured war horse that fell to the ground. Because this time he was lying on horseback, he fell firmly, and his internal organs seemed to be grabbed fiercely, and Kong Youde's screaming voice was released in pain, "Protect the prince~" Kong Youde's personal soldiers turned around and wanted to save Kong Youde, but they were half killed by a burst of musket cavalry. Originally, Kong Youde only brought ten personal soldiers, but now there is only one person left, and the person shouted when he saw this: "Lord, the small one will move the rescuers~~" After saying that, Kong Youde ran away at this time and didn't even have the strength to be angry, so he could only watch the Ming army spread a big net, put himself in the net pocket, and then quickly ran in the direction of Gaizhou City to wait for Jiannu's rescuers to come, only to see a few corpses of his own soldiers, and Dolgon was angry and beheaded the fleeing soldiers.

The soldier begged for mercy loudly before he died, "Lord, it's not a small one to leave the master, it's really the Southern Army's firearms, and it is also a hundred shots on horseback~~~"

"Evil words confuse the people~" Dolgon became more and more annoyed, and shouted: "It is already a capital crime to abandon the master and flee for his life, and now he has to talk nonsense, and the evil words confuse the people, and the crime is increased by one degree, come on, and put him to death." ”

"Chirp~!"

The unlucky soldiers were executed by Ling Chiβ—†β—†β—†β—†β—†β—†β—†β—†β—† and said that the cavalry that captured Kong Youde belonged to Zhang Nai, Zhang Nai's hearing that he had captured a prince, he was overjoyed, and immediately took out his personal money to reward those cavalry, and then reported to Dengzhou with a flying pigeon overnight, and escorted Kong Youde to Jinzhou, and Song Youliang, who got the news, immediately rushed from Dengzhou to Jinzhou by boat overnight.

Kong Youde was loaded in a prison cart and traveled all the way south from Gaizhou, and he was amazed by what he saw along the way. The wastelands and swamps, which were infested with wild beasts and wolves, have become fertile fields and fish ponds. The people who were originally in fear are now busy with a happy smile on their faces and sweating, "Southern Liaoning is indeed very different from when I left~" Kong Youde said to himself, "You are also from southern Liaoning?" The soldiers of the Ming army who escorted Kong Youde suddenly gave birth to a sense of intimacy with their fellow villagers, but then they became disgusted, "If you can be the prince, you must have slaughtered tens of millions of people in my Ming Dynasty, so you are not afraid that you will not have the face to see your ancestors after death?" ”

Kong Youde smiled bitterly: "Little brother, do you think that I, Kong Youde, am born against the bones?" Haven't you been forced to rebel by those dog officials? Kong Youde inadvertently said his identity: "Are you Kong Youde?" The soldier was stunned, "You are Kong Youde who followed your father Kong Lao Hero to fight against Jiannu in Tieling?" ”

"You know that, too?" Kong Youde was surprised, "My grandfather and my father also followed the old hero Kong to kill Jiannu~~~" The little soldier said proudly, and then changed to a look of disdain, "You~~Traitor~traitor~" After that, he stopped talking to Kong Youde, Kong Youde was speechless and arrived at Jinzhou City, Kong Youde was first amazed by the grand scale of Jinzhou City, and then was stunned by the appearance of an unexpected person, "Zhen'er~ Is it really you?" Kong Youde excitedly lost his voice and said, "Dad~~ I didn't expect to see my father~~" That person is none other than Kong Youde's most beloved daughter - Kong Sizhen, Kong Sizhen was born in 1635, that is, the eighth year of Chongzhen, and is only 7 years old this year.

Kong Youde was carrying a torture instrument at this time, and he couldn't pick up Kong Sizhen, so he could only touch her head lovingly, "Zhen'er, are you the only one?" ”

"No~ and my mother~ and my brother!" The young Kong Sizhen said: "It's just that Erniang, Sanniang and Siniang are missing~"

"What? Madame and court training are there? Kong Youde became more and more surprised, "Didn't you say that when Song Youliang contributed to Shenyang, he killed the families of high-ranking Han officials?" ”

Kong Sizhen's eyes widened and said, "Dead? Uncle Shang's wife and Zhixin and Zhixiao brothers are all there, and Uncle Geng's wife and Geng Jimao's brother are also there. ”

"Everything?" Kong Youde couldn't believe his ears, "Then where are they?" ”

Kong Sizhen said with a smile: "We all live in that big yard, and we usually play and eat together, which is interesting!" Kong Sizhen pointed to a large courtyard behind him, guarded by armed Ming soldiers outside and around the courtyard gate, "Oh~~ Hehe! Kong Youde breathed a sigh of relief, "General Zhengbei, Pingbei Bo, and Dengzhou General Song Youliang arrived~" At this moment, a small soldier shouted a roll call, "This is General Kong Youde, right?" A young and handsome young military attache dressed in regular clothes appeared in front of Kong Youde, "You are Song Youliang?" Kong Youde looked at this big enemy who Jiannu couldn't wait to cramp, peel his skin and gnaw his bones, the big devil, "I can't imagine being so young~" Kong Youde said loudly, "Young? Speaking of youth, General Kong was not very old when he was crisscrossing Liaodong and making Jiannu frightened? Song Youliang turned over and dismounted, not condescendingly Kong Youde only said that Song Youliang was sarcastic about him, and said: "Since it is in your hands, you want to kill or chop, listen to it, just let my wife and children go, they are innocent." ”

"Kill you? Why should I kill you? Song Youliang said with a smile: "I fought Shenyang to save everyone in prison. Zu Kefa, Liu Liangchen and several other righteous men were loyal and courageous, and they cooperated with me inside and outside, and broke the nest of Jiannu in one fell swoop. I wanted to return to Daming with the general's whole family, but the general was not in the city at that time, so I could only bring my wife, Ling Lang, and Ling Yan to return. ”

Kong Youde was surprised: "It's a good saying, but how can I see Shenyang corpses all over the field?" The families of many Han officials were brutally killed? ”

"That's different~ Where can those people compare to you? They are willing to serve Jiannu and serve as puppet officials, and if they don't kill them, they are the poisoning party. The reason why Jiannu spread rumors that the general's family members were killed is because you are determined to serve Jiannu and be their loyal lackey. Song Youliang frowned and said, "You have something to say, don't beat around the bush like this, like praising me, more like scolding me." ”

Song Youliang smiled: "Happy, I just have one word, I hope General Kong will return to the Ming Dynasty~"

Kong Youde laughed, "I mutinied in Dengzhou, and took Western firearms to the Qing Dynasty, and then attacked the Ming Dynasty many times. Even if I am willing to return, will Chongzhen let me go? Will the Manchu courtiers let me go? ”

Song Youliang smiled: "Do you know Li Shutai? ”

"Li Yongfang's son? The one who surrendered earlier? Kong Youde replied: "Of course I know, not only do I know but I also know." ”

"That's it~" Song Youliang said: "After Li Shuitai returned, the imperial court not only punished him, but also awarded him the post of general, although the official position is not as high as in Jiannu, but he is at ease, has a clear conscience, and he can face his ancestors calmly when he dies in the future." After that, Song Youliang said again: "I heard that the general's family is still after Kong Sheng, and they are the ones who declare righteousness. Once you return, you can reunite with your wife and children, which is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing? ”

Kong Youde's heart was actually loosened a long time ago, but he replied: "Let me think about it for a few days~"

"Okay~" Song Youliang said: "General Kong lives in this annex, and I will wait for you for three days." It's just ~~"

"Just what?" Kong Youde was nervous, for fear that Song Youliang would separate himself from his wife and children, "I just hope that General Kong can write a letter of repentance, so that when I plead for the general, I can also say it." Song Youliang said: "My manuscript has been prepared for General Kong, and you can copy it." ”

Kong Youde wondered in his heart, why did he have to write a letter of repentance before he said that he was going to surrender? However, Kong Youde looked at Song Youliang's eyes, as if if he didn't agree, he would immediately be unfavorable to his wife and children, so in desperation, he could only copy a copy of the manuscript provided by Song Youliang.

That night, Kong Youde finally reunited with his wife Bai, son Kong Tingxun, and daughter Kong Sizhen's family, while Song Youliang returned to the city with Kong Youde's handwriting, found a scholar who was good at imitating other people's notes, and handed over Kong Youde's handwriting to him, "People say that you are a holy hand scholar who can imitate the handwriting of people in the world." Now is the time for you to show what you can do. ”

The scholar turned the paper and said, "Xiaosheng must live up to his mission." ”
