At three o'clock in the afternoon, Jinyiwei, the Shark Gang and Zheng Jiajun left Shatuo Bay by boat, went upstream, and rushed back to Yangzhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In this fleet, where there were as many dead and alive as there was, there was no sense of joy in victory, and although it was already raining and clear, the atmosphere on board was like a steaming river with a heat wave, which made people feel very dreary.

After day and night fighting, perhaps the soldiers were tired, and at this time, except for the helmsman who changed shifts, the other soldiers leaned on each other and closed their eyes to rest.

Judging from the injuries, these people are indeed not real military doctors, but they just have some basic nursing knowledge.

Zhu Qing knows some medical skills, but he doesn't have a doppelganger technique, he can't be busy for a while, and there is a shortage of medicine on the ship, Zhu Qing is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice, if it weren't for Zheng Jiajun to give some medical supplies, I'm afraid the Ming army will lose more people.

From the afternoon to the evening, with the assistance of the Zheng family's military doctor and Jinyi Weizhong's subordinates, Zhu Qing finally looked at all the wounded on the ship, and if he could still speak, he could basically save his life, and those who couldn't speak could only resign themselves to fate.

When they finally had to catch their breath, Zhu Qing and Heisha were handwashing their hands by the river, and at this time they could already faintly see the reflection of the night sky from the river.

"It's going to be Qingming soon, how can there be such a bright moon? It's really weird. Zhu Qing said inadvertently.

"Maybe it's to illuminate these dead souls and cross the bridge." Heisha also replied coldly.

Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help but nodded.

"I didn't expect me to bring my brothers out and leave them in Yangzhou...... "Boss Sha couldn't help but sigh.

In this battle, the Shark Gang almost fell apart, some of them died for money, but some people chose a different way to die at the last moment, they joined the Ming army and killed the Tartars!

"If you go back to Yangzhou with us, aren't you afraid that we will arrest you and crush your Shark Gang?" Hei Sha looked at Boss Sha, chuckled, and asked.

Boss Sha was frank and smiled bitterly, "It doesn't matter, as long as you can send my brother on the last ride, how do you ......like it?"

Boss Sha said, he couldn't help but glance back at Yue Jinglun's coffin, he didn't expect that the brothers who hadn't seen him for many years would say goodbye when they met.

"Don't worry, I will tell General Shi about the Shark Gang's righteous deeds, but I don't know if he can be thoughtful." Zhu Qing made a promise to Boss Sha again, he knew very well that a few months ago, Shi Kefa also sent troops to chase down the bandits along the coast, and Boss Sha and the Shark Gang would naturally not be so easy when they returned to Yangzhou this time.

"Thank you. But everyone has their own fate, if he Shi Kefa really wants to kidnap me to receive the reward, my Sha Boss will not blame you, I can know you Qinglong in my lifetime, and I can beat the Tartars with your Jinyi Wei once, my Sha Boss is worth dying, and my Shark Gang will no longer be said by the world to be a robber who can only bully the people. "I didn't expect Boss Sha to think far ahead, his words are right, maybe a hundred years later, when people mention the Shark Gang, some people will remember their righteous deeds this time.

"Come on, come on, several generals, life is long, you are all heroes who have broken through in the shadow of swords and swords, and they are heroes who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they all say that if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, how can you die lightly? I have a few jars of Alishan aged wine, and it is windy tonight, so I will drive away the cold for you. At this moment, Zheng Chenggong suddenly walked onto the deck, holding two jars of wine in his arms, and shouted at Zhu Qing and the others on the Qinglong.

As he spoke, Zheng Chenggong threw a jar of wine onto the Qinglong.

The black eyes were quick, took a step forward, and reached out to take the wine jar steadily!

"Don't forget to give a breath to your awake brother, it's cold at night." Zhu Qing admonished.

Heisha nodded, and was about to pass on the wine, but was dissuaded by Zheng Chenggong, "Hey, wait, I still have a few jars here." As he spoke, he turned to the soldiers beside him and instructed, "Go, bring up all the wine, and give it to the brothers on the other side to drink, so that everyone can also be warm." ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Zheng Chenggong put more than a dozen jars of wine on the bow of the ship, and Zhu Qing and the others couldn't help but be surprised when they saw it, "The general is really massive, and the army does not forget to bring the wine from his hometown." ”

"Don't hide it from the general, this Alishan aging wine is indeed my Zheng Jiajun's treasure, as long as you can take a sip, no matter how difficult the battle is, it will make you energetic, no matter how far you go, you will remember the road to your hometown." Zheng Chenggong said, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. After he finished speaking, and no one interjected, Zheng Chenggong laughed at himself, "I haven't drunk this wine yet, and I started talking nonsense, which made you laugh." ”

"The general is really a man of temperament, but we are disrespectful, come on, bring the bowl!" Zhu Qing suddenly shouted.

The subordinate quickly took out a set of bowls, but the bowls were not enough, "General, not enough points!" ”

As soon as the guard finished speaking, a strong man beside him snatched the wine jar and said with a big grin, "What kind of bowl do you use to drink?" Can't one person drink it in turns? As he spoke, he was about to raise his head and drink, but at this time, Zhu Qing suddenly screamed.

"Slow!" Zhu Qing said, then took a bowl from the guard beside him, and said to the man, "We can drink in turns, but what about those dead brothers?" ”

When Zhu Qing said this, everyone fell silent. The people around the man accused him of being too reckless.

After a while, Zhu Qing said to everyone, "Brothers, this is the first wine we drank in Shatuowan, and there were originally many brothers who gave us a happy drink to celebrate, but now they are gone, but this wine can't be left behind!" We can't just drink it ourselves, we have to let the dead brothers drink it together, you know, their way back is much colder than ours......" Zhu Qing said emotionally, so that everyone present was moved, and the man even lowered his head with the wine jar and was silent.

After interceding, he brought a bowl of wine to the bowl, and then walked to the edge of the fence, "Soldiers, bring me all the bowls in your hands, let's pay tribute to those dead brothers first!" ”

Zhu Qing said, all the soldiers poured wine one after another, and Zheng Chenggong on the opposite side also instructed Zheng Jiajun to pour wine and worship together.

"The warriors of the Ming Dynasty, drink this bowl of wine, go home with us, and when we arrive in Yangzhou, the villagers prepare a celebration wine and wait for everyone! Don't get lost when you cross the bridge, let's fight Tartar together in the next life! Dry! Zhu Qing raised the bowl and shouted, then bowed to the sea and spilled the wine in the bowl into the river.

When everyone saw it, they followed and poured wine to pay tribute to the dead soldiers.

The man was about to go to the altar to drink, but he was stopped by the black demon and said softly, "Hey, it's almost okay, the mind is more important than anything else, and the living still have to drink!" ”

After Zhu Qing heard this, he didn't say much, if it was usual, there was a lot of wine and food, Zhu Qing would not be stingy with a drop of wine in the bowl, because compared to the blood spilled by the soldiers on the battlefield, this bit of wine is nothing. But in this case, Zhu Qing didn't criticize him, not to mention that this was given by Zheng Chenggong, so he couldn't spill it into the river in front of others, right? What's more, Heisha is right, the living still have to drink, going upstream, the night road is long, the wind is strong, and the soldiers are seriously injured, and if you have a sip of wine to warm up, you will have an extra chance of surviving, Zhu Qing will not understand this truth.

In order not to embarrass him, Zhu Qing quickly poured another bowl of wine and shouted, "Come!" To be alive! Done! ”

"!" Boss Sha and the others also shouted loudly, and everyone picked up the wine and drank it one after another, and those who did not have bowls passed the jar to each other and poured a sip or two.

Zhu Qing looked at the strength of the soldiers' drinking, his face was really relaxed, as long as he could move, it was possible to get through.

"How? Wine is sometimes more effective than hemp boiling powder and gold medicine. Zheng Chenggong raised his glass to Zhu Qing and smiled.

"Thank you, General!" Zhu Qing raised his glass and drank together to express his gratitude.

Zheng Chenggong's more than a dozen jars of wine can be described as a blood charcoal, especially a good medicine for the cold and painful wounded soldiers, so that the blood in their bodies can circulate better in a weak condition, and even reduce the pain of the wounded soldiers.

This one was more like a celebration of memorial service, accompanied by the soldiers on the ship to spend a painful and cold night.

Even the mortally injured Duoduo couldn't help but want to take a sip or two!

But how could the black devil agree? The black demon is now eager to kill Duoduo with one sword, because it was Dolgon and Da Yu'er who sent Duoduo to persecute and hunt down their mother and son, and it was really the enemy who was very angry when they met! When Blacksha heard Dodor's moanings, instead of giving him wine, he poured wine on his wound without changing his face! This pouring wine is like sprinkling salt, it is painful and spicy, so that Duoduo, who is known as the iron man of the grassland, can't help but scream.

Seeing this, Zhu Qing walked over to dissuade him!

"Why is it so painful for you to fight with a dying man?" Zhu Qing said, snatched the wine jar from Heisha's hand, handed it to the guards beside him, and then held Heisha's shoulder to persuade him to leave.

"As soon as I saw him, I remembered how my mother died......" The black scar couldn't help but lose his voice. Over the years, he has been cultivated step by step by Killing Wind to become a peerless killer, and his heart has long been cold-blooded, and only the title of mother can occasionally evoke his compassion, but it is often accompanied by deeper hatred. Until, I met Zhu Qing and met his aunt, Aixin Jueluo? Ning'er ......

After persuading the black demon to leave, Zhu Qing turned to Duoduo's side, he took the wine jar from the guard's hand, and then pushed the guard away.

"Why didn't you kill me?" Duoduo still moaned and glared at Zhu Qing coldly.

Zhu Qing sneered and squatted down, "Because someone wants your life more than me!" ”

"Who?" Duoduo exclaimed.

"The people of Yangzhou!" Zhu Qing said to Duoduo word by word, and when he said this answer, the grief and indignation in his heart were unmistakable.

When Duoduo heard this, he was terrified. He knew what that answer meant.

"Nope! You're going to kill me now! There's a kind of you're going to kill me right now! "Dodor struggled with fear, and he couldn't survive or die, which was the most painful state!

"I said, I can't let you die yet!" Zhu Qing looked at Duoduo's panic and sneered, Duoduo's fate was completely caused by his own greed, cruelty and arrogance! He had already received Dorgon's garrison orders, but he was unwilling to get out of the customs like this, unwilling to watch the Manchu Qing and the long-coveted Central Plains miss out here.

"Humph! At this point, I have nothing to say, and I will listen to it. Duoduo knew that this time, Zhu Qing would not be soft-hearted, so he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Maybe I should listen to Brother Fourteen and go back to Shengjing with him...... But, why?! I don't understand, why did the fourteenth elder brother, who has always been determined to win, make peace with your Ming Court?! Duoduo said, and suddenly became excited, and even rushed to Zhu Qing, the two looked at each other angrily, if Duoduo was not tied, I am afraid that they would have to fight.

"General?" When the guards heard the voice, they gathered around them. Zhu Qing didn't look back, just waved his hand and motioned for others to step back.

Afterwards, Zhu Qing stared closely into Duoduo's eyes and replied coldly, "This is the reason why Dolgon can return to Shengjing alive, and you want to die in a foreign land!" ”

After hearing Zhu Qing's words, Duoduo was suddenly stunned for a moment, and shrank back in shock.

"You're not as cunning as your brother, but you're more ruthless than he is!" Zhu Qing continued.

After hearing this, Duoduo leaned on the board of the boat indifferently, perhaps Zhu Qing said that it doesn't matter if a person is defeated, what matters is that he is seen through by his opponent, including sometimes even his own weaknesses!

"Can you give me a sip of wine?" After a long time, Duoduo swallowed dryly, and asked Zhu Qing with a pale face.

Zhu Qing looked at his wound, then at his lips, shook his head and chuckled, and stretched the wine jar over.

Although he was tied, his arms were still able to hold things, and he picked up the jar with both hands, but instead of taking a sip, he turned the jar sideways and slowly turned it upside down.

"Huh? What are you doing? Zhu Qing asked.

"You have brothers, I have brothers, your brothers need to see them off, and my brothers need to see them off." Duoduo glanced at Zhu Qing and replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment and did not stop it.

Dodor leaned the jar with great difficulty until it spilled some, then he picked it up again and sent it to his mouth, and then took a few sips.

Zhu Qing looked at Duoduo who was drinking, and couldn't help sighing, "I didn't expect this, we are quite similar." ”

"Humph!" Duoduo drank and chuckled, "It is said that Qinglong is powerful, earlier I Duoduo did not believe in this evil, but now, I believe it, I Duoduo crisscrossed the grassland, and I have never been defeated, I didn't expect this defeat to be defeated by your Qinglong, and it was ......a complete defeat."

"This is called evil not prevailing over good." Zhu Qing responded.

"Say whatever you want, anyway, you Central Plains people always boast that your culture is broad and profound. But then again, heroes cherish each other, and if it weren't for this, maybe we might still be friends. Duoduo couldn't help but smile, but he thought it was beautiful.

Zhu Qing shook his head, "There is no if, good and evil have not been separated since ancient times." ”

"Then you still have peace talks with us in the Qing Dynasty?" Duoduo was puzzled.

"That's politics, not friendship!" Zhu Qing shook his finger and stood up suddenly, "Okay, your wound has also been disinfected, and the wine has been drunk, you can't die for a while, you just stay honest, and when the morning comes, the one who should come will always come." Zhu Qing said, then turned around and called out to the guards, "Shut his mouth, you must take good care of him, you must not let him kill himself!" ”

"Yes! Checkmate! Several guards received the order, and they dodged forward from the wine jar in Dord's hand, stuffed a ball of cloth into his mouth, and tied a circle of rope, and several people took turns guarding around him, so as not to let Dordor behave in any unusual way.

"You give him a drink?" When Zhu Qing returned to the deck, Hei Xu asked coldly.

Zhu Qing nodded.

"Why?"

"Because if he doesn't drink, he may not survive Yangzhou."

"You're worried about his life or death?"

Zhu Qing faced the black evil, patiently and admittedly said, "Yangzhou is too angry, and now the people are angry, Duoduo is the best way, and he should accept the judgment of the people of Yangzhou......"

After hearing this, Hei Sha quieted down, he didn't understand why Zhu Qing didn't let him kill Duoduo, but wanted to save him, but now he seemed to understand that there were people who wanted Duoduo's life more than him, more and more people! This is a blood debt!

Heisha suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little vexatious, so he bowed his head in apologetic silence.

"Don't blame yourself too much, in fact, you also helped him." Zhu Qing gently patted Hei Sha's shoulder.

The black man looked up in confusion.

"You pour wine on his wound to help him disinfect ......" Zhu Qing smiled at the corner of his mouth, patted his black shoulder again, and walked to the stern alone.

At this time, the east has gradually brightened. The fleet will be able to return to Yangzhou in one more bay. This time, they spent almost twice as long as they had pursued Dordor that night. After all, it was against the wind and current, and after a night of fighting, the ship was inevitably damaged, and the soldiers had just fought hard, so the driving force was naturally much worse than before. It is not easy to rush to Yangzhou at dawn.

"Look! Yangzhou! We're back! At some point, the guard at the bow of the ship suddenly screamed.

Everyone couldn't help but open their hazy sleepy eyes, and looked over, Yangzhou City was in front of them!

However, this once prosperous and bustling fireworks mecca seems unusually cold and silent at the moment. Only the smoke in the city seems to tell people the beginning of the day.

"Finally, there are still people who live and cook." Sha Lao Da has lived on the water for a long time, and when he sees the cooking smoke, he can't help but sigh in his heart.

"That's not cooking smoke, that's the traces left by the fire of the Tartars......" the black scar replied suddenly.

The people on board were taken aback.

"He's right, it's not cooking smoke, it's a remnant of the fire." Zhu Qing probed with clairvoyance and said.

"The Tartars are really deprived of their conscience, and they still want to destroy the corpses!" Even Zheng Chenggong, who had not experienced this battle, was sad and indignant when he heard it.

"But, look at this situation, it has just rained here, and it should be a heavy rain, how big a fire can't even be extinguished?" Boss Sha couldn't help but ask.

"This is the sin of the Tartars, almost destroying a good Yangzhou city!" Zhu Qing observed it and said indignantly, he couldn't wait to go in and punch Duoduo a few times now, even if he stabbed him, it would be difficult to solve the hatred in his heart!

He is him, but he has to restrain his emotions, the people on the ship are watching him, and the people in the city are also looking forward to them, and the slightest carelessness will cause a commotion!

"Heisha, order to go down, let the brothers find a remote place to burn the corpses of the Tartars, and they must not be brought into Yangzhou City, lest the scene be difficult to control!" Zhu Qing quickly made a decision, they couldn't bring the corpse of the Tartar into Yangzhou City, first, it would be troublesome, and second, the people were afraid that they would really whip the corpse angrily, and it would be difficult to clean it up at that time.

"Yes!"

"Remember, it's better to mess around with rocks or something, and don't go near the river." Zhu Qing did not forget to advise.

"Understood!"

Zhu Qing nodded, and then turned to Zheng Chenggong, "General, this place is remote and far away from the river, so let's burn the body of the Tartar here, so as not to cause trouble when we enter the city." ”

Zheng Chenggong nodded after hearing this, and then instructed the guards beside him, "You follow the Black Demon General to burn the corpse, remember to be clean." Don't defile this great river and mountain. ”

"Order!" Zheng Jiajun's two warships followed the black chaser carrying the corpses of the Tartars to the cremation.

The corpses of the Tartars hit three ships, and it can be seen that the whole army was also annihilated.

"It's enough for you to say goodbye to your soldiers, and it's enough to leave them here and not throw them down to feed the fish, and you can recognize them later." Zhu Qing said, bringing Duoduo to the deck and taking off the cloth from his mouth.

Duoduo watched from afar the corpses of more than 10,000 of his soldiers being burned by the Ming army to the rocky hill, and couldn't help but kneel down suddenly.

"Warriors of the steppe, go well! I, Dord, am sorry for you, and I can't take you home. Wait for me, I'll go down to you and continue to be brothers! We can't get into the Central Plains in this life, we still have the next life! Duoduo said it, but the more he spoke, the more indignant he became, which made the Ming army on the ship naturally unhappy after hearing it!

"Bang!" Zhu Qing finally punched him hard, and then stuffed the ball back into Duoduo's mouth.

"Die without repentance! Then you just wait to die! I saw the underworld, can those unjust souls who were killed by you forgive you! Zhu Qing said, and then shouted, "Bring it in!" ”

Only then was Duoduo escorted down by the brocade guards.

After burning the corpse of the Tartar, the fleet continued to hurry, and soon, it slowly sailed into the Yangzhou ferry, but there were few people in the frolicking ferry now!

When the Qinglong docked, Zhu Qing stepped onto the shore from the boat, and at this time, a child suddenly threw out and shouted, "I'm back!" The Blue Dragon Heroes, they're back! ”

This child is none other than the child who helped them that day, and with the child's shout, more and more people poured out of the south gate!

"Zhu Gongzi!" A familiar voice, Chen Yuanyuan ran towards Zhu Qing desperately.
