Chapter Twenty-Three: Why Bother with the Horse Leather Shroud?
Tian Jianxiu was stunned for a moment, he was indeed more entangled in the surrender of the Manchus, but ......
"Hong Chengchou is a feudal official, Wu Sangui is a prince, Qian Qian is the leader of Shilin, Zuo Mengeng is favored by the country, Niu Jinxing is the prime minister of my Dashun Dynasty, they can all surrender to the Manchu Dynasty, why can't I Tian Jianxiu surrender?" These are all big shots, both civil and martial, they all surrendered, and I, Tian Jianxiu, weishenme, can't surrender.
Wang Kefan did not answer his question directly, but smiled and suddenly asked rhetorically.
"May I ask Zehou, do you really surrender to the Manchus, or do you surrender by fraud?"
"Well...... this is a matter of secrecy, no matter whether it is a real surrender or a fraudulent surrender, Tian will not really work for the Tartars, and after surrendering, he will be disarmed and returned to the field, not seeking glory and wealth, but only seeking to save his life in troubled times...... "It is a matter of confidentiality, and he has a shallow exchange with Wang Kefan, Tian Jianxiu is reluctant to say too much, and his answers are not true.
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to help myself!" Wang Kefan shook his head: "Fake will also come true, as long as Zehou is in the Manchu army, he will inevitably be driven by it, and he will charge into battle for the Tartars, and it is inevitable that he will meet the old brothers in the past, can Ze Hou do it?" ”
Tian Jianxiu frowned silently, today's peasant army is not monolithic, although he intends to surrender, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Shaoqi and others are unwilling to surrender, and they will inevitably kill each other in the future.
Wang Kefan said: "The Manchu Qing Dynasty regarded the Han people as pigs and dogs, and slaughtered the city and the county at every turn. ”
Because the siege warfare in ancient times was too difficult and too costly, the Manchus formulated a cruel policy - the Han people could only avoid death by "kneeling to welcome the king's division", and if they dared to close the city gate to resist, they must slaughter the city after the city was broken, otherwise the leading generals would be severely held responsible.
Although this policy is bloody and cruel, but the actual effect is really good, the Qing army often wins without a fight wherever it goes, even if some Ming generals swear to resist to the death, there will be subordinates who are greedy for life and fear of death to fight against the water, launch a rebellion and surrender the city.
Human nature is always selfish, and human nature is always contradictory, although Tian Jianxiu is a general, he believes in Buddhism, has a benevolent personality, and is very sympathetic to ordinary poor people, Wang Kefan's words obviously moved him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. (To say more, Tian Jianxiu is more benevolent, but Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin and others are not good men and women.) )
He knew very well that once he surrendered, these things would happen sooner or later, and he thought that he was going to slaughter the women and children of the people with his own hands, and the old brothers of the Dashun army, his heart was extremely irritable, and his voice was also raised.
"The rise and fall of the dynasty, the will of heaven is difficult to disobey, those who go along with it prosper and those who go against it die! Brother Wang also said that everyone in the world can surrender to the Manchu Qing, so why bother with me? ”
"Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui can surrender because the Manchu Qing Dynasty was weaker than the Ming Dynasty at that time, and they wanted to use them as eagle dogs, and Qian Qianyi, Zuo Mengeng and Niu Jinxing could descend in order to appease the military and the people, but in the final analysis, they were not a big threat to the Manchu Tartars, but Zehou was different from them."
Wang Kefan is finally about to show his killer feature.
"What do you mean?" Tamihide was inexplicable.
"After these people surrendered, they all saved their lives, and even got reused by the Manchus, but may I ask Zehou, why was General Quan (Liu Zongmin) executed by the Manchus?"
Liu Zongmin, Li Zicheng's right-hand man, General Da Shunquan. He was seriously wounded in the Battle of Wuchang, and when he arrived in Jiujiang, he lay in the old camp to recuperate, and was captured alive by Azig's Qing army, and was immediately executed.
"This, presumably General Quan would rather die than surrender, so he was killed......" Tian Jianxiu didn't know Weishenme, and suddenly felt a little weak, he himself knew that this reason was too far-fetched and untenable.
Even if Liu Zongmin swore not to surrender, Azig could bring him back to Beijing, and even follow Hong Chengchou's old example, slowly persuade him to surrender with water grinding kung fu, and kill him so cleanly, indicating that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no intention of leaving him alive at all.
"Wrong! The Manchus killed General Quan because they were afraid of him! ”
Wang Kefan unceremoniously shattered his illusions: "General Quan has outstanding prestige, is brave and good at fighting, and only killed him immediately when the Tartars are in danger at the end of the period...... Now that the Dashun army has no leader, Zehou's official position has the highest prestige, where to go, please think twice! ”
People who may pose a threat to the Manchu rule, from Dolgon to Kangxi Qianlong, the Manchu rulers have never been merciless, such as Zhu Cihuan, the third prince of Chongzhen, who lived incognito until the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, and was already an old man when he was caught by the Qing court, and repeatedly defended that he was a shunmin and had no intention of rebelling, but Kangxi did not hesitate to execute him.
After the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in order to stabilize the Han gentry and landlord class, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were recruited to surrender, but the peasant rebel army was regarded as a great enemy of life and death. Now that Li Zicheng is dead, Liu Zongmin is dead, you Tian Jianxiu is the boss, and you are the henchman of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, if you dare to surrender, you will die!
"This ......" Tian Mixiu was shocked, and the sweat on his back trickled down.
He really didn't think so deeply, so far!
Now the Dashun army is in its own way, he has the name of a general of the commander's battalion power, but there are only a few thousand men and horses in his hands, if he surrenders to the Manchu Dynasty, he can not support the army to protect himself, and it is difficult to gain the trust of the Tartars, and he can kill him by finding an excuse!
He stood up and walked around the room twice, then suddenly stopped again.
"Brother Wang, you are a well-informed scholar, tell me, does Daming still have hope for ZTE?"
With the current situation of the peasant army, it is definitely no fun to go it alone, since it cannot surrender to the Manchu Qing, then it can only take refuge in Nanming, but Nanming, who is still breathing, looks even more unreliable.
"I don't know."
Wang Kefan paused for a moment and said solemnly: "The alien invasion, enslaving my Han people, bullying my father and fellow villagers, since we have joined the army, we should fight to the death against the enemy, donate our bodies on the battlefield, and do not ask for horse leather shrouds, only to bury bones in green mountains." ”
The duty of a soldier is to defend the homeland and the country, and in any case, this basic principle must be pointed out.
Tian Jianxiu's face turned red, compared with Yuan Zongdi's upright generals, he had more problems to consider, and while looking ahead and looking ahead, he lacked a little bit of military integrity.
"Brother Wang, in your opinion, how many years can Daming last?" He finally dispelled the idea of surrendering to the Manchus, but he was worried that the Ming army would not last long, and Zuihou would still be dead.
"There are traces of the rise and fall of the dynasty, when the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu competed, it took sixty or seventy years to return to the Jin, the Southern Song Dynasty favored the south of the Yangtze River, and supported a full hundred and fifty years, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was violent, it was still very early to pacify the world!"
In order to appease Tian Jianxiu, Wang Kefan specially picked two examples that were beneficial to him, the Three Kingdoms and the Southern Song Dynasty had related storytelling, which were popular among the people, Tian Jianxiu was of course very familiar with it, and the look on his face immediately looked a lot better.
Just like a house with seventy years of property rights, not to mention that Daming can still hold on for one hundred and fifty years, even sixty or seventy years is enough, Tian Jianxiu is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, so he doesn't have to think about it so far.
