Chapter 408: Killing Wu Sangui and Capturing Hong Chengchou Alive

Dutong Jinli was directly smashed into pieces by the cannonballs of the Guards.

Meler Ezhen Sharhuda was shot in the neck by the Guards' bullets and convulsed on the ground, bleeding to death.

Meng Qiaofang, the right attendant of the military department, and the governor of Shaanxi, was directly stabbed to death by the infantry of the Guards Army with a bayonet.

In the end, only Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, and Hong Chengchou, the scholar of the inner courtyard and the secretary of the military department, were surrounded by the guards in a snowfield.

Many corpses of Qing soldiers have fallen on the snow.

Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou glanced at each other, and then looked at the guards in mandarin duck robes and the rising Mingzi flag.

The two were frightened, uneasy and a little dazed, they didn't expect that they would one day stand on the opposite side of the Ming Dynasty, let alone be surrounded by the Ming army and face the situation of being executed by the Ming army.

Zhu Youzhen also rode a horse at this time, followed by Qin Liangyu, He Xin, Liu Fangliang, Wu Mengming and others.

"Hooray, hooray!"

"Hooray, hooray!"

"Hooray, hooray!"

At this time, the main force of more than 200,000 Qing troops had been annihilated by the Guards, and there were more than 50,000 captured Qing troops alone, and no less than 200,000 Qing officers and soldiers were killed and wounded by the Guards.

It was a decisive victory!

Because of this, when the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen appeared, the entire Guards shouted.

It can be described as shaking mountains and rivers, and ghosts and gods are afraid.

Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui looked at Zhu Youzhen at this time, and naturally all kinds of feelings came to their hearts.

Hong Chengchou really didn't expect that he would fall to such a point today, he was very surprised, surprised that Zhu Youzhen was not on the north bank of the Yellow River, but why did he suddenly appear here again.

At this time, Hong Chengchou didn't know how to feel in his heart, but he knew that he had lost, and the defeat was completely complete.

Wu Sangui clenched his iron fist, he hated and feared Zhu Youzhen in his heart, and his hatred was naturally because Zhu Youzhen killed his whole family, and forced Chen Yuanyuan to write him a letter of renunciation.

He was afraid of Zhu Youzhen because of the deep-rooted idea of monarchs and ministers.

Once upon a time, he also thought about galloping on the battlefield and serving the king, but his growing ambition made him forget the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers.

At this time, he couldn't help but wonder if in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, he did not watch from the wall, but entered King Jingqin without hesitation, would it be another ending, would the lives of more than 20 members of his Wu family still be there, would Chen Yuanyuan not break off his friendship with him, and would he still be the Ping Xibo of the Ming Dynasty, not the lackey of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui".

Zhu Youzhen laughed.

Frankly speaking, this was the first time he had seen Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui, but it was as if he had met several times, and even knew each other very well.

"Your Majesty! Wechen is guilty! ”

Hong Chengchou knelt down first, tears streaming down his face.

At this time, Hong Chengchou really knew that he should give in, he didn't expect that the former Emperor Chongzhen, who was stubborn and self-serving, had great ambitions and talents, would wipe out his 500,000 troops here at this moment, and now forced him to admit his guilt and kneel.

Zhu Youzhen got off the horse, walked over, and the horse whip in his hand directly slapped Hong Chengchou's face: "In the battle of Songjin back then, why didn't you hang yourself!" ”

Syllable!

Zhu Youzhen's whip shook the sky and hit Hong Chengchou's face directly, showing blood marks as thick as his thumb.

Hong Chengchou knelt down and hugged Zhu Youzhen's feet, crying like a woman and a child, snot and tears wiped on Zhu Youzhen's body: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister is guilty, please ask Your Majesty to give the minister to hang himself, and now give the minister to hang himself, okay!" ”

Hong Chengchou knew that the king of the Ming Dynasty was still more lenient towards his subordinates, especially the Chongzhen Emperor in front of him, although he was angry and killed countless ministers, only Hong Chengchou knew that the real Zhu Youzhen was not like this, the real Zhu Youzhen was an emperor full of feelings, and a simple-minded and naΓ―ve emperor.

He felt that as long as he was willing to confess his sins and beg for death, with his understanding of Chongzhen's character, Chongzhen would definitely let him hang himself.

Instead of being escorted to Nanjing.

Hong Chengchou knew the group of civil officials in Nanjing better than anyone else, because those people were the same kind of people as him, and he believed that as long as he was escorted back to Nanjing, those civil officials would definitely spare no effort to step on him, spit on himself, and ask Zhu Youzhen to delay himself.

For it is not enough to show how noble they are, how different they are from traitors like themselves.

And Hong Chengchou didn't want to be executed by Ling Chi, he didn't want to bear that kind of sin, he was afraid of death, he was really afraid of death.

"Now I want to hang myself, how can it be so simple, Lu Xiangsheng is still and died for the country, and you Hong Chengchou will give in to a woman, not only succumbed but also helped the Manchus to destroy the Ming Dynasty, your books have been read to the belly of a dog! Shameless! You are not my minister of the Ming Dynasty, your king is Shunzhi, you are a slave of Jiannu, don't call me a micro-minister in front of me, you are not worthy! β€œ

Zhu Youzhen reprimanded loudly, whipping the horse whip in his hand.

"Your Majesty, you are so embarrassed that your ministers are so embarrassed!"

Hong Chengchou cried again, and kept playing the emotional card, hoping that Zhu Youzhen would soften his heart, and kept looking at Zhu Youzhen with his eyes, hoping that he could be forgiven.

"Escort Hong Chengchou down, with a special person to take care of it, if there is a slight mistake, I will ask you!"

Zhu Youzhen said a word to Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and walked towards Wu Sangui: "Wu Sangui, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, I summoned you to enter the king of Jingqin, but you delayed the time on the grounds of insufficient military salary, and then I asked you to guard the Shanhaiguan Pass and not surrender to the Qing, you went against my will, but brought the Qing army into the customs, why did you do this?" ”

"Without him, conform to the general trend of the world."

Wu Sangui turned his face away and didn't dare to look at Zhu Youzhen again, so he just replied.

"Okay, it's a general trend in the world, but you are wrong about the general trend of the world! I know that you Wu Sangui is not a simple person, ruthless and resourceful, maybe in your eyes, I am not as good as you, but look at it now, it is I who won! ”

Zhu Youzhen shouted.

And Wu Sangui smiled bitterly: "If you become a king or lose a coward, if you want to kill or chop, please!" ”

"It's a little more bloody than Hong Chengchou, and he is worthy of being the chief military officer who has guarded the border town for many years, but you shouldn't forget the way of the minister! Don't forget that you're Han! ”

As Zhu Youzhen spoke, he suddenly stabbed a sword into Wu Sangui's chest and stabbed it fiercely:

"You are I to help you up, today I will end your life, I have killed the life of your Wu family, just send you one!"

"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan."

Wu Sangui clutched his chest and looked at Zhu Youzhen with a sigh.

"She's fine", Zhu Youzhen said, then turned around and left.

In the end, Wu Sangui stood upside down in the snow, and he couldn't help but look at Qin Liangyu in front of his eyes, yes, he should have been like her, like her, holding a spear and wearing a crown tassel to stand in front of the king.
