Chapter 553: The Hero in the Cage
There is no political department and judicial department in the entire Liaodong, and the civil affairs and criminal names are said to be under the control of the Shandong political department and the Shandong judicial department, but among all the civil and military affairs, even Li Chengliang, the general soldier, is still controlled by Zhang Xueyan, the governor of Liaodong. Therefore, most of the time, if there are really prisoners who violate the laws, they are held in the civil offices at all levels, except for prisoners of war. Because Liaodong is Jurchen on one side and Mongol on the other, and is often in a situation of fighting on both sides, prisoners of war are often from these two ethnic groups, and they are not afraid of death, so the prison room of the Liaodong General Military Office in Guangning is directly excavated underground, and the entire defense can be said to be impermeable.
When Wang Fulin followed Li Rusong in front of him, the two brothers who were firmly watched by the four family members, and he fell behind at the end, walking down the stone steps step by step, he found that there was no dark and damp smell in other prisons. He is also a person who has visited the prison several times, but no matter which one he has done before, it cannot be compared to the current one. Not to mention that the famous general seed Li Rusong led the way, it was Wang Gao who visited the Jurchen generation, just take the brothers in front of them, it can really be described in four words.
There are two floors in the dungeon, the garrison is tight, the military discipline is solemn, there is no prison at all, drinking, having fun, throwing dice and gambling, laughing and scolding, not taking the job as a thing, all you see along the way are five steps and ten steps, the soldiers standing with their hands down, when they pass by, they uniformly press the knife salute, but no one is silent. Most of the cells here were empty, and it was obvious that this dungeon for important prisoners of war did not accept ordinary prisoners, and this time there was only one Wang Gao sent by the Wang Tai of the Hada Ministry. And no one else. Only when passing through a cell with a prisoner. Li Rusong didn't say a word back.
"It's shut up here. It is Ge Bao and Bite Dangha, who are as famous as Lai Lihong, who died in Gule Village before, and they are both Wang Gao's cronies. ”
Wang Fulin only knows a rough idea of the people around Wang Gao, after all, the booklet of the Ministry of War mainly records the names of the more famous Jurchen chieftains, and those who have killed Ming generals like Lai Lihong are of course on the list, and the others are gone. And. Most of the generals were all messy translations, and he really didn't have the ability to write down these awkward names. So at this moment, when he heard Li Rusong focus on it, he had to look inside in the dim light, but he could only vaguely see two black shadows locked in heavy shackles, and the others could no longer be seen clearly.
However, when he turned his head, he saw that among the two brothers who were held hostage by one left and one right, Nurhachi's reaction was very calm, while Shulhaqi bit his lip tightly, obviously his mood fluctuated greatly. He deliberately dragged his feet back half a step. Still at the end, when I saw that dark cell was about to pass. His ears keenly caught the words wafting from the cell behind him.
"Marfa...... It's Ha...... Hahaji...... Rare...... Bo Ji Lie ......"
Although Wang Fulin barely recognized a few words according to the pronunciation, such as Marfa referring to the old man or grandfather, Bojilie referring to the big chief, and Han either recognized Nurhachi or the meaning of the Khan, but most of them did not understand, and the rest were completely blackened. He could only sigh in his heart, in this place in Liaodong, language barrier is equivalent to deafness. He walked a few steps quickly to catch up with the people in front of him, and found that these people didn't know whether they didn't hear the movement behind them, or they didn't take it seriously, he thought about it, and simply squeezed half a step behind Shulhazy.
Sure enough, only this ten-year-old boy was not so deep in the city, and his eyes were full of tears at this moment, but he forcibly held back his tears.
Soon, he saw Li Rusong in front of him stop, and it turned out that he had reached the last iron gate. When he entered, he found that the end of the second dungeon was separated by a wall and a door, and on the high wall opposite the wooden fence were seven or eight oil lamps, although they could only illuminate the small place in front of him, but they were much better than the previous dimness. From his position, he could see a man sitting cross-legged with a heavy flail on his head and shackles on his feet. The man was emaciated, with gray hair and a messy beard, leaning back against the wall and closing his eyes, as if he were not paying attention to the movement of the outside world, and did not look up at the eight of them.
At this moment, the brothers Nurhachi and Shulhaqi were lifted up and carried to the wooden fence by two and two, so that they could see the prisoner inside.
Shuerhaqi refused to believe the news of Wang Gao's capture that had come before. Although this grandfather did not take much care of them, he also allowed him and his eldest brother to learn martial arts from those warriors who taught his children and grandchildren, so that he and his eldest brother learned to explain people's words, and they have always been great heroes among the Jianzhou Jurchens, and now they have become like this, which is undoubtedly a great disillusionment for his vision.
Nurhachi's mood is much more complicated, on the one hand, he regrets that his grandfather was betrayed by the throne of Hadabel, but on the other hand, he also realizes that this is a great opportunity for his clan to take advantage of the situation. But can you leave behind your brothers' grandfather and father, and still treat them as members of your own tribe?
However, he retained part of Li Rusong's confession, although Jue Changan and others were the first to get the news and left in a hurry in Gule Village, but Wang Gao also in advance in order to preserve his strength, let his eldest son Atai quietly leave with a part of his henchmen, and then he stayed in Gule Village to watch the style, and found that the Ming army actually moved the real character, so he humbly listened to the advice of Lai Lihong and led some men and horses to retreat, and after the break, Lai Lihong led the rest of the people to fight to the death, and only this battle killed more than 1,000 people, and he was also captured. As for how Wang Gao was betrayed by Wang Tai and sent to Guangning after he escaped from Gule Village, he really didn't know much.
"Marfa ......"
Shulhaqi was still young after all, and after enduring and enduring, he finally screamed. Wang Gao, who was sitting against the wall, opened his eyes suddenly, and when he saw clearly the two figures whose heads were almost pressed against the wooden fence, his pupils contracted suddenly. Because of the light, he not only saw clearly the two grandsons who happened to be under the light of the oil lamp, but also saw clearly the soldiers who were holding their arms tightly on the left and right, but Li Rusong and Wang Fulin were further behind. He was only a shadow, and he could see two figures. Can't see who it is.
But it doesn't matter. The important thing is that these two brothers fell into the hands of the Liaodong people, and others took them to see themselves, what did they want to do?
Wang Gao took a deep breath, and then said in skilled Chinese: "If anyone has something to say to me, you might as well come directly, don't hold the two children!" ”
Seeing Li Rusong, who was leaning against the wall, glance at him, Wang Fulin shook his head. said in a low voice: "I'm just coming to see, Wang Gao, who has been harassing Liaodong unrest, and I don't know how many Liaodong generals he has killed, has three heads and six arms, by the way, let's see what the last scene is like for my ancestor and grandson, and I don't have anything to ask him, Brother Li, please don't pay attention to me." ”
If it hadn't been heard by Wang Fulin and Shen Yourong in the private conversation before, Li Rusong would have been suspicious of Wang Fulin's words, but at this moment, he believed eight points. He smiled slightly, then stood up straight and stepped forward slowly. And the four pro-soldiers who grabbed the brothers Nurhachi and Shulhaqi. He immediately dragged people back. At this time, only the eldest son of the Liaodong General Army was left on the wooden fence and stood holding hands.
"Wang Gao. You are called the three Jurchen heroes together with Wang Tai of the Hada Department and Wang Wutang of the Dong E Department, but they are not as good as Wang Tai after all. Wang Tai sent you here, but the rest of your wives and children were detained by him, I heard that some of your wives and concubines and daughters were accepted by him as concubines, and some were rewarded by him to the generals below, as for the children and grandchildren, they will only be sent under the fence in the future. I know that when my Liaodong soldiers and horses surrounded Gule Village, you were very clever to divide your eldest son Atai and some of the soldiers and horses, and now only this son is still missing. If you can appease him, then the marshal can find some way to write to the court to spare your life and let Wang Tai send your family here. ”
Such complex words expressed in Chinese are also mixed with idioms, and Shulhaqi can barely understand a small part of them, Nurhachi can understand more than half, and Wang Gao, who is proficient in Chinese, can fully understand them. He staggered to his feet, moving his shackled feet, step by step. The heavy wooden flail pressed against his neck, but it did not bend his spine. It wasn't until he was only a few steps away from the wooden fence that he stopped and said word by word: "I don't know what happens to others, I only know that the Hitara clan only has warriors who have died in battle, and they have not hitched a ride on their children and grandchildren's pigs and dogs in order to survive." ”
Wang Fulin could clearly see the excitement on Shuerhachi's face when Wang Gao burst out of these words, but Nurhachi's reaction was very restrained, just lowered his head deeply and lowered his eyelids, making it difficult to see his expression and eyes clearly. And at this time, a personal soldier who grabbed Nurhachi's right arm suddenly reprimanded: "Presumptuous! Just because you have been captive and killed countless people in the past, you must be sent to the capital after an inch, and you will be hanging your head to show the public! Do you know what an inch is? It's to cut off your flesh inch by inch with a knife! If you know each other, you will receive the kindness of the eldest prince......"
The pro-soldier was talking loudly, and suddenly noticed that there was a difference in his gaze on the side, but he found that Wang Fulin was looking at him like a fool. For such a little white face of Jinshi from Jingshi, he really looked down on him, and he was suddenly ashamed and annoyed at the moment, but the next moment, he saw Li Rusong turn his head, and his eyes showed deep anger. At that moment, he quickly shut his mouth, and finally realized in his heart that he was troubled.
"What's the point? I have studied the language of the Ming Kingdom for so many years, the language of the Ming Kingdom, I have killed so many of you, and when I die, I will be punished by your Ming Kingdom, it will be worth it! Wang Gao suddenly took a step forward with his feet, and suddenly grabbed Li Rusong outside the wooden fence with one hand, seeing that the person only slightly turned his head and missed his own hard fishing, Wang Gao didn't care, but suddenly opened his mouth and showed a mouthful of sharp teeth, "I'm not a hero, there will be more and more powerful heroes in the future, wake up you guys who think you are the kingdom of heaven, there will be that day, I will wait for that day in the sky!" ”
Except for the beginning, Wang Gao's gaze did not stay on the two grandsons for a moment, as if they were completely strangers. It wasn't until Li Rusong made a gesture to let his soldiers escort the Nurhachi brothers out, and he didn't say a word and turned to follow, that he sat down, and the next moment, he suddenly found a black shadow covering his vision, and when he looked up, he found that it was the person who was hidden in the black shadow like Li Rusong before, and he never saw his head and face clearly. I saw that he was only three or four years older than Nurhachi, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, as if he was not a soldier.
"You just said that, do you want your two grandsons to become such heroes?"
