Chapter 752: Generosity
After learning of Su Tiancheng's decision. Qu Qingze was a little anxious.
Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo do have some abilities, and they are indeed fierce generals, but all three of them are Zhang Xianzhong's righteous sons, Zhang Xianzhong died in the hands of Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, if Su Tiancheng recruited the three, wouldn't he have planted a time bomb around him, maybe it will explode at some point.
This matter has not been spread for the time being, and Qu Qingze believes that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion will have the same opinion.
Hurriedly came to the wing room, Qu Qingze spoke directly.
"The adults are ready to recruit Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo, but the lower officials disagree."
Su Tiancheng had already prepared.
"Lao Qu, don't worry, say something slowly."
"The three of them are Zhang Xianzhong's righteous sons, and they have a father-killing enmity with adults, if these three people pretend to be sincere, and finally do something unfavorable to adults, it will be too late to regret it."
Qu Qingze is kind-hearted, Su Tiancheng also understands, maybe it's not just Qu Qingze, many people will have such worries, the Jiangning battalion used to absorb the surrendered rogues, it was large-scale, and the officers in the rogue were all killed, leaving no trouble, now that the rogue has been exterminated, of course everyone doesn't understand, Su Tiancheng will forgive Liu Wenxiu and others.
"Lao Qu, is there anything else to worry about?"
"My lord, this reason is sufficient, if the adults don't object, the lower officials will go and end up with the lives of Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo, and these people must not be kept."
Su Tiancheng shook his head.
"Lao Qu, the situation was different from now, you have such worries, this is normal, back then, the rogues were still ravaging, and the Jiangning battalion defeated every stream of bandits. will kill the officers, this is to prevent the resurgence of the Liukou, the court has suffered too many such losses, and now the Liukou has been exterminated, and the lives of the common people have slowly become peaceful. There is no room for the Liukou to survive, if we are still so afraid of the remnants of the Liukou, wouldn't it be very ridiculous, besides, Liu Wenxiu and the other three are hiding in the Blood-Killing Alliance, which means that they no longer have the intention of rebelling, thinking that they have lived incognito for a lifetime, and the Jianghu sect has nothing to do with the government. Not to mention not interfering in the affairs of the imperial court, the most important thing, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo are all rare talents, and they are extremely brave on the battlefield, and it is very advantageous for us to be able to recruit such talents. ”
Qu Qingze is clear. What Su Tiancheng said made sense, but he didn't allow Su Tiancheng to be in danger. Especially by Su Tiancheng's side, there can be no potential danger.
"What the adults said is reasonable, and the lower officials also understand, but the situation of Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo is different, and the lower officials resolutely disagree with the recruitment, not only the lower officials. The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion will not agree either. ”
Su Tiancheng sighed, from the perspective of talents, he must recruit Liu Wenxiu and the other three, if the three are unwilling, they want to follow Zhang Xianzhong. Then there is no way to do it, but the possibility of this is not great, if you really want to follow Zhang Xianzhong, the three of them will not live to this day. But the revenge of killing his father is not shared, this is also the truth, Liu Wenxiu and others are really likely to pose a threat to themselves, it is normal for Qu Qingze to be worried, and since Qu Qingze has been in charge of intelligence work, there has been a sign, that is, to pay special attention to whether there is something unfavorable to him, and it has become an instinct of Qu Qingze to not allow Liu Wenxiu and others to be recruited.
"Lao Qu, I know what you think, and I also know clearly that the soldiers of the Jiangning camp will be worried, but this time, I still insist on my own opinion, talent is rare, the old saying is good, the external move does not avoid hatred, the internal move does not avoid relatives, the ancients can do such a thing, they all have such a mind, I can't do anything for Lu, yes, Zhang Xianzhong was indeed defeated by the Jiangning camp, and was beheaded after being escorted to the imperial court, but we are the imperial court army, and we must exterminate the Liukou, this is our duty, if Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo, the three of them, they don't know this clearly, they always care about small grievances, then I don't have anything to say, so let's do it, tomorrow you and I will see the performance of the three of them, if they are not willing to join the Jiangning camp and are unwilling to surrender, everything will be arranged by you. ”
Qu Qingze is still unconvinced, but Su Tiancheng said this, he is not easy to object, anyway, tomorrow depends on the performance of Liu Wenxiu and others, if there is the slightest mistake, then kill without hesitation.
"That's right, Lao Qu, the rest of the captured prisoners of the Blood-Killing Alliance, interrogate them, if there is no harm, let it go, if it is the person in charge of the Blood-Killing Alliance, then don't leave the aftermath."
Qu Qingze nodded, he didn't just come for Liu Wenxiu and others, Ma Xianglin led the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion to exterminate the Blood Killing Alliance, and the most critical thing.
"My lord, the lower official thought to ask who instructed the Blood Killing Alliance to plot against your lord."
Su Tiancheng shook his head.
"This matter, I don't know what to do for the time being, Liu Wenxiu and the others are not very clear, the leader of the Blood-Killing Alliance has been killed, I'm afraid this matter will not be clear for a while, this is not a big deal, the Blood-Killing Alliance has been completely wiped out, and the danger does not exist."
"My lord, the lower officials don't see it that way, the Blood-Killing Alliance has failed, but there are still many sects in the rivers and lakes, if the people behind it think about continuing to plot against adults, they will find other sects."
"Lao Qu, such a thing, I'm afraid it won't happen, the Blood-Killing Alliance plotted against me, but it didn't succeed, and the entire sect was uprooted, such a situation, it can't be hidden, it must have spread on the rivers and lakes, and the rest of the sects know about it, what kind of thoughts will it be, who will take the entire sect to gamble, the Jianghu sect, it shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the imperial court, this time the Blood-Killing Alliance violated this rule, and should be punished, I'm not a good person to kill, But it will not allow things to break the rules, and the matter of the Blood-Killing Alliance is also a warning to those Jianghu sects, telling them to do things within the rules and not to cross the line, otherwise the Blood-Killing Alliance's today will be their tomorrow. ”
"In terms of reasoning, the lower official said that he couldn't be an adult, but the mastermind of the assassination of the adult must be investigated, and this is also the duty of the lower official."
"Take your time, it will come out one day."
The next day, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo were escorted to the Governor's Mansion.
Perhaps it was the improvement of living conditions that made the faces of the three of them a little bloody, but the eyes of the three were all black, and it seemed that they had been thinking for a long time and were facing a major decision.
"Have you figured it out, what decisions have been made?"
Liu Wenxiu looked at the two of them and saluted with his fists.
"I discussed with the second and fourth brothers, and decided to surrender to the adults, and I am willing to serve in the Jiangning camp."
Su Tiancheng nodded slightly, Qu Qingze on the side, his face changed, he was the most reluctant to see this scene, who knows if Liu Wenxiu and the other three really wanted to surrender, or if they had other intentions.
"You have made a decision, the official believes you, but the official also has something to say in front, the official believes that you are sincerely surrendered, Zhang Xianzhong is your father-in-law, and the official is also your father-killing enemy, such a big grievance, thinking of being able to coexist peacefully, this is impossible in the eyes of ordinary people, Zhang Xianzhong once rebelled, is an important leader of the Liukou, this official as the court official, must be exterminated Zhang Xianzhong, the official also admires Zhang Xianzhong's ability, Zhang Xianzhong used to be the court official, Maybe it's because of the unavoidable reason to rebel, since you decide to rebel, you have to think of the later ending, and it's the same for the official, if Zhang Xianzhong really seized the world of the Ming Dynasty, the official will be a rogue. ”
"Don't suspect that you don't need to use people, this official adheres to this principle, the rogue has been exterminated, and he fell under the command of Jiang Ning Ying, in addition to Zhang Xianzhong, there are Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Lao Huihui and others, if you want to talk about the enemy, the official has countless enemies, and even the 60,000 post-Jin Tartars who were exterminated by the Jiangning camp can be regarded as the enemy's enemy, but the official will not be afraid of these, you are Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, and the people around the official are worried about you, afraid that you will fake your sincerity, and what I really want is to avenge Zhang Xianzhong, I believe in you. ”
"This official understands the truth that each is his master, you used to be Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, you have to work hard, you have to fight out a country, so this official does not compare your past, in the Jiangning camp, there are tens of thousands of your former brothers, these people are all working for the imperial court, they are all working hard, this official completely believes in them, they are the brothers of this official."
"So, you are so self-conscious, if you really want to avenge Zhang Xianzhong, this official will not care, you will always understand, personal grievances and national righteousness, which point is important, if you can't even understand this basic truth, then the official can be regarded as the wrong person."
"This official cherishes talents, knows your bravery, and this official hopes that you can show your own efforts and have the opportunity to fight with the Houjin Tartars on the battlefield, at that time, you fell, sacrificed your life, and will leave a name in history."
"Okay, that's all the official said, you make a choice again, this time it's simpler."
After a few minutes of silence, Liu Wenxiu took the lead in kneeling, and Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo also knelt down.
"The teachings of adults, so that the little ones are ashamed, the little ones and the second brother and the fourth brother are incognito, hiding in the rivers and lakes, but also thinking about lingering, and there are also thoughts of revenge, the words of the adults, so that the little ones have no place to embarrass themselves, the little ones represent the second brother and the fourth brother, and swear here that we are truly surrendered, if we dare to have the idea of assassinating the adults, the sky will hit five thunders, and you will not be allowed to enter the ancestral hall after death."
Liu Wenxiu's words made Qu Qingze's face soften a lot. (To be continued......)
