It should be a happy thing to be reunited after a long absence, or to be his old subordinates, to be born and die together, and to go through hardships together. But at this time, it was divided into two camps, Daniel Zhang's expression was complicated, and after listening to Shao Mengkai's words, he was speechless for a long time.

"My lord, are you a diehard man, or do you contribute to the Han family anyway? Just in your thoughts. Although Shao Mengkai was persuaded to surrender, his attitude was quite respectful, but his expression was very different from before, seeing Daniel Zhang's hesitation, he continued to persuade: "Adults have always been sympathetic to their subordinates, is it really for their own false name, bear to let more than two thousand brothers be martyred?" ”

Daniel Zhang suddenly sneered and said, "Serving the country with death, how can you make a false name and be buried?" Are you as greedy for life and afraid of death as you are? ”

"Greedy for life and afraid of death, my lord is right." Shao Mengkai smiled indifferently, admitted it honestly, and then said: "Because of my greed for life and fear of death, nearly 10,000 Ganshan athletes have not buried their bones elsewhere. Some of them continued to serve in the army and fought for their homeland; Some retired from the army and lived in peace, married wives and had children. I feel that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, so I have done a good deed worthy of my fellow villagers in Gansu and Shaanxi. The Gan and Shaanxi athletes who followed you out of Shaanxi used their blood and lives to exchange their blood and lives for the adults to wear a flower feather, I don't know what the adults have done for them, and how much is left around you now? ”

Daniel Zhang held the waist knife, and several green tendons burst out on the back of his hand, filled with shame. A former subordinate, although Shao Mengkai called himself an adult, he no longer called himself a subordinate, but used the title "I". Although the words were more tactful, he also bluntly criticized him for only thinking about using the lives of his subordinates to build official positions, but did not consider their lives or deaths.

Shao Mengkai pretended to look at Daniel Zhang calmly, and continued unhurriedly: "Is the adult a Han?" Was it a Ming general? At that time, why didn't you want to repay the country with death? If it is said that the Ming court was mediocre and corrupt at that time, the adults chose the Ming Lord to serve; So now, His Royal Highness Min is wise and martial, and Emperor Ming Zhongxing is hopeful. You won't deny it either. What about the Qing court, an eight-year-old child ascended the throne, and the four Manchu ministers took care of their lives, wouldn't the Manchu and Han families deceive themselves? After years of fighting, the soldiers are full of soldiers and arrogant, so how can they cherish the life and death of the Han soldiers and generals? Adults are loyal to the Qing court. Is it thinking that after death, the flag will be carried and no longer be a Han Chinese? Hehe, it's good to raise the flag, but you have the qualifications to call yourself a slave......"

"Shut up." Daniel Zhang was furious, and he drew his waist knife to kill Shao Mengkai.

"My lord, rest your anger." "My lord, the two countries will fight each other, and they will not be killed." ……

Several generals stepped forward and stopped Daniel Zhang. And the reason is right. But Daniel Zhang lamented in his heart that the army's heart was scattered, all for himself, and when the Ming army had already arrived in the city, he did not dare to anger the Ming army.

Wu Sangui was a traitor, leaving Daniel Zhang with both the old and the weak, and the messy armed forces, at this critical juncture. What Daniel Zhang can really command is nothing more than dozens of pro-soldiers. These generals are not high-ranking officials. There were not many men and horses in command, each with his own thoughts, and formed more than 2,000 troops to defend the city. Everyone knows in their hearts that since they are abandoned chess pieces, why bother to die in vain and repay the country with death. ! You Daniel Zhang want to be a loyal subject, but don't pull us back.

Seeing that the generals had already dared to disobey the order semi-openly, Daniel Zhang was angry in his heart, but he did not dare to attack immediately, lest these people and dogs jump off the wall in a hurry. Immediately attacked.

Shao Mengkai knew in his heart that there were so many people protecting him and his life was worry-free, so he shouted at Daniel Zhang with a straight voice: "Adult, will you use this money rat tail to meet the ancestors and ancestors?" I wonder if the ancestors of the underground will recognize you as a descendant? ”

Daniel Zhang was struck by lightning, shaving his hair and being easy to wear, it was the greatest shame of the Han people, usually he didn't think about it, but now he was touched by Shao Mengkai The pain in his heart, shame, anger and other emotions were mixed, and he couldn't speak for a while.

The generals pushed Shao Mengkai to leave, and they no longer waited for Daniel Zhang's order. Daniel Zhang gritted his teeth, recruited pro-soldiers, arranged it, and struggled the most.

Back in the mansion, Daniel Zhang sat alone in the hall where the firewood had been piled up, drinking alone. He knew that the generals of the Dao Dao would inevitably open the city and surrender, and the imposition of the blocking force was not caught, so he secretly buried gunpowder under the west city gate, and when the Ming army entered the city, it was secretly ignited by his own soldiers. As long as there is a bang, the Ming army will inevitably think that it is a fraudulent surrender. When the battle started, those Qing soldiers and generals who happily surrendered could not escape the fate of being killed in retaliation, but they would not be restrained.

When the fighting began, he lit the fire, and the surrounding houses had been piled up with flammable materials, and the fire burned and spread, although I don't know what the effect was, but as long as it could bring some trouble to the Ming army, Daniel Zhang felt that he had done his best. Because he is just the nominal leader thrown down by Wu Sangui, what he wants is his death. At a time like this, he doesn't have a greater amount of strength, a better way to do it.

A long time passed, and still did not hear the expected loud noise, let alone shouting and killing, Daniel Zhang was already a little drunk, squinting his eyes and making a fox doubt.

There was a sharp sound of footsteps, Daniel Zhang stood up, shook his body a few times, shook his head vigorously, and then sobered up a little, picked up the lamp candle in one hand, held the waist knife in the other, and stared.

Several pro-soldiers rushed to the scene with panic on their faces, and before Daniel Zhang could ask, someone took the lead and said, "It's not good, my lord." The Ming army has not yet entered the city, and the generals have surrendered to the enemy, and the gunpowder buried under the city gate has also been discovered.

"How's he doing?" Zhang Qian was always the leader of his personal soldiers, and he was closest to him, and Daniel Zhang was shocked and anxious to ask.

"He, he was killed by the rebels, and his head was hung on the city gate." The pro-soldier who replied took another step forward and told the bad news.

Daniel Zhang's head banged, the most rearranging was finished, and the most trusted person also died, this blow is not small. Suddenly, at the moment when he lost his mind, his body was hugged by someone, and a shout sounded in his ears, "Don't do it yet." ”

Several pro-soldiers rushed up, grabbed their arms and moved their legs, and threw Daniel Zhang to the ground. Although Daniel Zhang's martial arts were high, he was in a hurry, he was not prepared at all, and his full struggle was to no avail, and he was pressed to the ground and tied with ropes.

"Bastard, you dare to betray me too?" Daniel Zhang's hair was scattered, and he opened his mouth to curse.

"If you want to be loyal to the Manchurians, you may be honored after your death, and your family will also have a pension." The pro-soldier who took the lead wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and sneered: "What about us, why do we have to accompany us?" Master Shao is right, your crown flower feather is dyed red with the blood of countless brothers, and when you reach the end, you still don't think about everyone. If we are so selfish, what if we betray you? ”

"When the time comes, I will let the adults settle in the ground, and I can be regarded as worthy of you." A pro-soldier drew a knife and cut off the braid and threw it on Daniel Zhang's face, "I think you can't bear it, so keep your money rat tail and go underground to see your Zhang family ancestor!" ”
