"Uncle Shang, what should we do?"

Geng Jingzhong stood in front of Shang Kexi and asked in horror.

He was the son of Geng Zhongming, followed his father, took refuge with the Tartars, and also became a member of the Han Army Banner. At the beginning, Geng Zhongming didn't want his son to come with him, Geng Jingzhong himself must come. He thinks that "following the Dajin Army into Beizhili, you will definitely be able to eat fragrant and drink spicy food" to pass the addiction of others.

As everyone knows, the defense of the Ming army in the interior is very empty, and after the Dajin army enters, it will definitely be able to burn, kill and loot unscrupulously. The first two Nanluo have proved this view. Geng Jingzhong's favorite thing to do is to take it captive, so he must not miss such a good opportunity.

However, Xing Chongchong followed the Dajin army south, and before he had a chance to start his ** captive journey, he received the news of Azig's defeat at Dongjiabao. Since then, the traitors' lives have "been worse day by day." The Tartars are in a bad mood and always use their traitor troops to get angry, which is already a common "Who called them traitors?"

Especially in the later Battle of Dongjiabao, the Dajin Army under the personal command of Huang Taiji was defeated by the Tiger Ben Army, and the traitors' lives were even more difficult. Many slave chiefs shifted the responsibility for the defeat to the ineffectiveness of the red-clothed cannon of the Han army flag, thinking that the Han army flag was afraid of war, and clamored to kill Shang Kexi and others. This angry request was finally suppressed by Huang Taiji, otherwise, Shang Kexi and them "would have been a corpse under the knife a long time ago."

After Lao Tzu Geng Zhongming died, "Geng Jingzhong is completely gone." He suddenly realized that it was a mistake for him to follow the Dajin Army Nanluo this time. I was going to enjoy it" ended up being tormented. The first two trips to Nanlu were lighthearted and pleasant, and the third one turned into a hellish trip. The contrast between before and after was too great for him to accept.

Later, the fighting continued. With the decline of the Dajin Army, "the life of the traitors is getting more and more difficult." They suffered more and more casualties, and their morale became more and more low, "After leaving Hejian Province, they were continuously attacked and harassed by the cavalry of the Tiger Army, and they were almost broken. If it weren't for the fear of the force of the Dajin Army, they would even have to flee again.

In fact, since Zhang Zhun appeared, the traitors' lives have been very difficult. Zhang Zhun's strategy "is very vicious, that is, he openly asked Huang Taiji to exchange traitors for Duo Erzhen, Duo Feng and others." Undoubtedly, such a quid pro quo "made the hearts of many Tartars tick." After all, there are still many Tartars who support Dolxiang, "In their opinion, it is completely worth exchanging the heads of these traitors for Dolxiang."

No matter how actively these traitors "show their loyalty, how closely they rally around Huang Taiji", but "in the eyes of most of the Tartars, they are dispensable, and exchanging their lives for Dolxiang and Duofeng" is something that does not need to be considered at all. Only Huang Taiji resolutely rejected Zhang Zhun's proposal.

Huang Taiji's insistence "is justified." Once he agreed to Zhang Zhun's condition, "all the Han people will rise up and rebel, and the foundation of the Dajin Kingdom will be shaken." This is absolutely unacceptable. However, ordinary Tartars do not have such ideological awareness, nor do they have such a far-reaching understanding" They just simply felt that Huang Taiji had stepped out of personal grievances, so they rejected Zhang Zhun's proposal. Huang Taiji doesn't want Dolxiang to come back, and he doesn't want Dolxiang to come back and compete with Haoge for the next Khan throne" Therefore, these traitors have room to survive.

Such a misunderstanding really made Huang Taiji very helpless. No matter how he explains it, no one else will believe it, but in fact, the grievances between him and Dorxiang "too many people know." This is definitely not a good thing. Huang Taiji's rejection of Zhang Zhun's proposal was a direct consequence that many Tartars "became hostile to the traitors." They hated these traitors, hated them for using demon magic to "charm Huang Taiji, so that Huang Taiji made such a foolish choice."

Under the domination of this anger, "as long as there is an opportunity to torture the Han military banner, those slave chiefs will not let it go." Encampment, cooking and carrying water, patrolling in the middle of the night, all of them are the work of the Han military banner. Originally, the Korean servant army was also a slave and was not qualified to sit on an equal footing with the Han army flag, but now, even the Korean servant army dared to shout at the Han army flag.

"What are you so nervous about?"

Shang Kexi said a little unhappily, "Uncle, you say, will the Great Khan leave me swollen" Geng Jingzhong asked obscurely.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Shang Kexi frowned and said.

Speaking ill of Huang Taiji behind his back, is this because he didn't die fast enough? Originally, there were many Tartars who were dissatisfied with the Han Army Banner, "They usually come to make trouble from time to time, if some Tartars hear Geng Jingzhong speak like this, it will be strange if they don't make a big storm."

"I ...... I'm just a little worried......" Geng Jingzhong said with a stammered pain.

When he came out of Hejian Mansion, he was very worried, and he felt that he was very likely to not be able to go back to Saiwai. Because, if you are really in a hurry, you can turn around and kneel by relying on Tai Chi and other tartars. Only them, the people of the Han Army Banner, and the hardships of the Korean servant army, can't run if they want to. One can imagine what will happen to "if they fall into the hands of the Tiger Army".

Kong Youde had been publicly executed by the Ming court, and this was what they knew. The method of execution "is said to be the same as Yuan Chonghuan", that is, Ling Chi. They did know something about Ling Chi's dish, and this was definitely the greatest Ming in human history. It is said that a clever executioner can keep a prisoner from dying for three days. If he dies in less than three days, then the executioner in charge of Ling Chi "will also be punished."

Kong Youde originally thought that with his past relationship, "he could save his own life." He was so naïve. Emperor Chongzhen is on fire, how can he be forgiven? Like Zhang Zhun, Emperor Chongzhen hates traitors very much, and he will never be soft on traitors.

"It's not a big deal for the Tiger Army."

Shang Kexi said expressionlessly.

"Uncle, at this time, you still talk like this?"

Geng Jingzhong was really anxious.

He's still young, he's still very nostalgic for this world, he really doesn't want to die" He still wants to continue to live.

"And what do you want?"

Shang Kexi still said expressionlessly.

"I ......"

Geng Jingzhong was stunned for a moment.

yes, what else can he do by this time?

Surrender the Tiger Army? No kidding. Zhang Zhun treated these traitors more cruelly than he treated the Tartars. It is said that Dorxiang is still alive, and Duofeng is still alive, but there is no living traitor's brain. All the Ming army teams that defected to the Dajin Kingdom, the so-called rebels, "as long as they were originally officers, were all pulled out and clicked."

The only ones who could survive were ordinary soldiers. Even ordinary soldiers were all dispersed home, and they were never touched again.

They are all high-ranking rebels. If they fall into Zhang Zhun's hands, even if it is not Ling Chi, it will be the result of public hanging. It is said that some are thrown directly to ordinary people to dispose of. Geng Jingzhong didn't know what would happen to him if he was thrown into the hands of angry people, but one thing was certain: "It's definitely worse than hanging in public." It's not good, it's worse than Ling Chi.

"Is there really no way out for us?"

After a moment of silence," Geng Jingzhong said with difficulty.

"Nope."

Shang Kexi replied expressionlessly.

Geng Jingzhong looked up at Shang Kexi, wanting to see something from his face. However, it is a pity that he saw nothing but death and despair on Shang Kexi's face. Yes, Shang Kexi did not lie to him. They really don't have a way to live.

Since the Dajin Army was defeated by the Tiger Ben Army one after another, the fate of these traitors has been sealed. No matter how much Huang Taiji usually trusts them to "defend them, in a critical situation, he will definitely not care about their existence." The reason is simple, it is because they are traitors.

For a group of people who betrayed their homeland and only knew that they were looking for glory and wealth, "no one will cherish them." Even one's own homeland can be betrayed, what else can not be betrayed? Now that they have embarked on this path, they will have to suffer such an outcome. Now, it is their end.

"I knew this was the case, why did I ...... it in the first place", Geng Jingzhong drooped his head, "extremely bitter sigh."

He really didn't understand, how did things get to this point? If they knew that there would be such an end today, they would say that they would not be traitors at all.

Suddenly, Shang Kexi's ears quietly pricked up, "listening to the movement around the field." Geng Jingzhong was still pleased with the strange action, so he quietly pricked up his ears and "listened to the surroundings, and at the same time kept turning his gaze to observe everything around him." Suddenly, he appeared something, and said with a little puzzlement: "The gunfire of the Tiger Ben Army seems to have stopped?" ”

Shang Kexi nodded without peeling his face, and said coldly: "Zhang Zhun is coming." ”

Geng Jingzhong lost his voice and said, "Huh? ”

Shang Kexi nodded gloomily.

The gunfire of the Tiger Ben Army "suddenly stopped at this time, and the idiots knew that it was not a good thing."

Geng Jingzhong suddenly felt that the strength in his whole body seemed to be slowly dissipating, and even breathing began to become difficult. In front of his eyes, he also hallucinated. The hallucination was that he was publicly hanged, then Lingchi, and finally thrown into a large crowd of angry people.

Shang Kexi patted Geng Jingzhong's shoulder and said expressionlessly: "Take up the weapon" and do whatever you want. If you die in battle, you will be reunited with your father. ”

With that, he picked up his spear and "put on his helmet and walked away without looking back."

"I don't want to die......", Geng Jingzhong collapsed on the ground with a pout, muttering to himself.

He doesn't want to die yet, really.
