"Stop him!" A loud shout suddenly rang out, and the agile Swedish guards around Karl X quickly bullied forward, slamming Karl X with a flintlock handcuff upward.

Bang~~~

The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke brought the life-and-death Karl X back to his senses, and glared angrily at the few 'loyal' guards around him who had traveled all the way.

"Are you going to deprive me of my right to die? Is that what the upbringing of a knight tells you about your duties as soldiers?! ”

"I'm very sorry Your Majesty, we just want to survive, as Your Majesty, you will not be wronged in the Taiping Army, I hope you can achieve our hope of survival, and I will offend you a lot in the future, please forgive Your Majesty."

Although they said apologies, the Swedish guards were not slow at all, dividing Karl X's hands and feet by dividing them by two, making it impossible for him to escape and even more suicidal.

As for biting his tongue and committing suicide, not to mention whether the pampered Karl X had the courage to experience the pain of piercing the heart, even if he really bit his tongue off, as long as the bleeding stopped in time, he would not die, at most he would become a mute.

According to the theory of traditional medicine, people who bite off their tongues will not die, but will only cause heavy bleeding and feel extraordinary pain, even people who are determined to live and die will not choose this way to understand themselves......

It is only those who live in a prosperous and peaceful society in the future who take it for granted that if they bite off their tongues, they will die......

Karl X, as the king of Sweden in the 17th century, was naturally not as ignorant as ordinary citizens in the 21st century, and it was not possible to try to bite his tongue and kill himself.

Even if it is aimed at a tree and knocking your brain up, it is much more reliable than biting your tongue and killing yourself.

That's why the Swedish guards wanted to tie Karl X's feet.

The subdued Karl X, the suicidal courage that had just been mentioned has long since dissipated, people are greedy for life after all, most of the people who commit suicide can't think of going to an extreme for a while, when the suicide is given a certain amount of time to calm down, many people will regret their actions.

As the saying goes, only by living can there be hope for the future.

What's more, the current Karl X has also seen that even if he wants to die, it doesn't seem to be so easy......

Karl X didn't know why Hong Tiancheng had offered him such a large bounty, but at least it could be seen from the 'catch alive' bounty that Hong Tiancheng did not want to kill him, the 'Light Emperor'.

The flintlock handcuffs released into the sky once again pointed out the direction for the Taiping army squad, and in less than ten minutes, more than a dozen elite grenadiers of the Taiping army surrounded the five Swedish guards and the bound Karl X.

The two Sima of the Taiping Army, led by the Taiping Army, looked at the five Swedish guards who threw their weapons on the ground and raised their hands to surrender and Karl X, who was tied up, smiled with satisfaction and said to the surrendered Swedish guards: "You have done a good job, our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has always had clear rewards and punishments, your actions can exempt you from war crimes, go back with us to confirm the true identity of Karl X, and you can return to your hometown."

Rest assured, you'll get your clearance voucher by then. ”

The two Sima walked up to Karl X, and after groping around with him for a while, they threw the money bag containing gold on Karl X's body to the Swedish guards who surrendered: "You deserve it, and we will not let anyone who is friendly be wronged." ”

The Swedish guards took the money bag, their faces full of ecstasy, and nodded their heads in agreement.

For this group of ordinary Swedish escort soldiers, the two horses were naturally not interested, and that bit of gold was of little value to the Taiping officers and soldiers who had always been honest and honest, and the Taiping officers and soldiers never had to pay the bills for their consumption......

The Taiping officers and soldiers on duty on patrol, walking on the street and looking at something from a white person, just reach out and take it, at most issue a tax credit voucher, even if the Taiping officers and soldiers have a conscience......

With the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's heavy tax system reformed from the sacred treasury system, it was enough for the Taiping officers and soldiers to squander it at will.

It is precisely because of the unreasonable forcible seizure of the Taiping officers and soldiers that the local white civilians always dare not speak out, Hong Tiancheng treats the die-hard Taiping officers and soldiers on the battlefield very strictly, but on weekdays he is very spoiled by these Taiping officers and soldiers, and the degree of protecting the calves has reached the point of madness.

It is this kind of murderous high-pressure policy that causes those oppressed whites not to dare to retaliate, and even take the initiative to supervise each other's people, for fear that a madman will be slaughtered by the Taiping army in retaliation along with the big guys.

Of course, it is very difficult for ordinary white civilians to assassinate Taiping officers and soldiers, and all the soldiers of the Taiping Army are strict people who abide by military discipline, unless there is a special task above, they rarely hang around the white settlement alone, except for the mission on weekdays, the most place to stay is only the barracks, and the smallest unit of the mission is generally a team of five people.

Not to mention that the Taiping soldiers are all armed to the teeth, even if the Taiping soldiers are bare-handed, it is not a problem to put down an adult strong man one-on-one.

Karl X looked at the elite grenadiers of the Taiping Army wearing brand-new modern military uniforms, and asked suspiciously, "Why is your Heavenly King so keen to arrest me?" ”

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the King of Sweden, we are only acting on orders to take you to a nearby stronghold and escort you to the capital of Kyiv."

The two horses squinted at the Swedish guards whose expressions changed, and comforted: "You just need to follow to the stronghold and wait for the true identity of Karl X to be confirmed, and you can leave, and you don't need to go to Kyiv City." ”

I have to say that the Taiping army is quite friendly to the 'friends' who can make them work with less effort, which is also the reason why many local white security regiments are willing to serve the Taiping officers and soldiers.

In fact, the conquerors of various countries in history generally did not treat the servants and soldiers too harshly, and even showed a very friendly attitude, whether it was the vanguard of the Han green camp led by Wu Sangui when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, or the later traitors and puppet army, they were not subjected to too much harsh criticism, otherwise, who would want to die?

The aggressor will not only deliberately criticize the servant army, but will also give the servant army certain preferential treatment in terms of money and other aspects.

After all, this is reality, not making a movie, and there is no need to be too deliberate in order to promote certain isms, the actual interests are the most important!
