Chapter 24: I, Soldier!
Wang Chengen was furious and said, "Hu Xinshui, do you want to rebel?" ”
"Princess, you are joking, you don't dare to commit the crime of rebellion." Hu Xinshui laughed when he heard this, "The last general is also doing this to ensure the safety of the holy car, how can he rebel?" Hahaha. ”
Zhu Gaoyuan stared at Hu Xinshui's eyes and said, "What if I have to go back?" ”
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the saint." Hu Xin subconsciously avoided Zhu Gaoyuan's gaze.
The Ming Dynasty has enjoyed the country for more than 270 years, and its orthodox status is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even naturalized people like Hu Xinshui do not dare to desecrate the majesty of the Ming Emperor.
"I'm not going to be disappointed."
Zhu Gaoyuan said: "Because what I want to do will definitely be done." ”
Zhu Gaoyuan continued to look directly into Hu Xinshui's eyes, and his hand was still pulling Hu Xinshui without letting go, looking like a pair of old friends who had not seen each other for many years, but in fact, the atmosphere in the tent had already been tense.
"But today, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the saint." Hu Xinshui finally began to look directly at Zhu Gaoyuan.
"I won't be disappointed." Zhu Gaoyuan smiled slightly, and said to Wang Chengen, "Wang Daban, didn't you also prepare a gift for Hu Aiqing?" Take it out. ”
"Yes." Wang Chengen began to take off his brocade robe.
Gao Qiqian, Hu Guozhu, and Hu Xinshui together: "? ”
What's the situation? Why did the old eunuch take off his robe?
Hu Xinshui had goosebumps all over his body, and said that this old gelding should be thinking about it......
I saw Wang Chengen quickly take off the brocade robe on his body, throw the brocade robe to the ground casually, and then step forward again and take down a torch inserted in the willow skeleton of the big tent.
The Hu family's father and son and Gao Qiqian are even more confused, what are they doing?
Wang Chengen took the torch and casually flicked the brocade robe on the ground.
The next moment, the brocade robe on the ground burst into flames, and the flames were monstrous in an instant.
"What is this?" The Hu family's father and son and Gao Qi are stunned, what is the situation?
Is the brocade robe so easy to burn? And how can the fire be so fierce? It's horrible.
If this brocade robe is worn on a person, it must not be burned alive? When the fire is extinguished, I'm afraid that only the skeleton will be left, right?
Then, Hu Xinshui gasped in horror, looked down at the brocade robe he was wearing, and said in his heart that the brocade robe that Chongzhen had just rewarded wouldn't be so easy to burn, right? Broken!
Hu Xinshui subconsciously wanted to take off the brocade robe on his body, but found that his hand was grabbed by Chongzhen.
"Don't move!" Zhu Gaoyuan grabbed Hu Xinshui's hands tightly and said in a deep voice, "If you dare to move, I will burn you!" ”
While speaking, Wang Chengen grabbed Chongzhen's side with an arrow, and then brought the torch in front of Hu Xinshui, as long as he fell a little further, he could ignite the brocade robe on Hu Xinshui's body.
"Boom!" Hu Guozhu and several Yiding drew their scimitars one after another.
A few other Yiding drew their horned bows and mounted three-edged arrows.
"Hu Guozhu, I don't want your Abba to die, so it's best not to move!" Zhu Gaoyuan clenched Hu Xinshui's hands, but his eyes turned to Hu Guozhu, and said, "The brocade robe your Abba is wearing has been soaked in mutton fat, and the mezzanine of the brocade robe has been filled with gunpowder, as long as the torch is lightly touched, your Abba will be burned to ashes immediately!" ”
"Dog Emperor, my Abba is dead, and you can't live either."
Hu Guozhu's eyes turned red, and he stared at Zhu Gaoyuan like a wolf.
Zhu Gaoyuan turned his gaze to Hu Xinshui again, and said with a smile: "Hu Aiqing, Ling Lang is a little too excited, you let him and your subordinates calm down, don't be impulsive." ”
At this time, Hu Xinshui had slowly calmed down.
Hu Xinshui said in a deep voice: "Holy Lord, the minister hates to be threatened the most. ”
"Haha, that's a coincidence." Zhu Gaoyuan said abruptly, "I hate being threatened the most in my life. ”
"Therefore, the ministers advise the Holy One to give up." Hu Xinshui said, "Give up at this time, the minister can act as if nothing happened, and still protect you to return to Yongping safely, if you don't give up, then die together." ”
Zhu Gaoyuan smiled and said, "Hu Aiqing, look at what I'm wearing?" ”
"What?" Hu Xinshui's eyes fell on Zhu Gaoyuan's body, and his heart chuckled, the emperor was wearing the same brocade robe as him? In other words, he has long put life and death out of the way?
Once the coercion fails, no longer think about survival?
That is to say, from the beginning, Chongzhen never thought of returning to Yongping with him.
"Aiqing, now you know, right?" Zhu Gaoyuan said indifferently, "I am also not afraid of death!" ”
After a pause, he said: "It's just that you and I don't need to make trouble to this point, what Wu Sangui can give you, I can give it to you, Wu Sangui can't give it to you, I can give it to you!" So, why did you hang yourself on the tree of Wu Sangui? Why can't your Hu family father and son fight for me and the Ming court? ”
"Really?" Hu Xinshui said disdainfully, "What can the saint give to his ministers?" ”
At this moment, Hu Xinshui no longer wanted to suppress his dissatisfaction with Chongzhen in his heart.
For Chongzhen, every soldier of the Guanning army or every Liao people was extremely dissatisfied, if Chongzhen hadn't listened to the rumors and destroyed the Great Wall and killed Yuan Governor, Jiannu would have been crippled even if he was not exterminated.
Zhu Gaoyuan said with a straight face: "I can give you the title of father and son of the Hu family, it is not impossible for the earl, marquis, duke, and even the prince, and maybe you can also make your golden family become the master of the grassland again." ”
Anyway, it's a fool, anyway, it's a blank check, and of course the bigger the denomination, the better.
"How do you know I'm a descendant of the Golden Family?" Hu Xinshui's face changed slightly.
Zhu Gaoyuan snorted and said: "I not only know that you are a descendant of the Golden Family, but also know that you are just the illegitimate son of Lin Dan Khan and the daughter of the slave hunter, you only came to this world because of a whim when Lin Dan Khan went out hunting, so you have no inheritance rights of family territory and tribe at all, according to the Great Zasa Order, you will never become the Great Khan of Mongolia, but I can, I can send you to the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia!" ”
This is a memory from Chongzhen.
Hu Xinshui thought that his identity was well hidden.
But in fact, when he had just defected to Liaoxi, he was investigated by the Guan Ning army.
"Great Khan?" Hu Xinshui seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and said, "The Holy Lord wants to put the illegitimate son of the golden family on the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia?" Why are you? ”
"Just the thousand armies in the bay on the other side?"
Hu Xinshui deliberately said the word "big army" very loudly.
He also said: "I relied on the saint's dedication to suppress the thieves for seventeen years, but the thieves were exterminated from tens of thousands to millions, and even half of the Ming land north of Huanghuai was lost? ”
"Holy Lord, do you say that the minister should believe you?"
Zhu Gaoyuan was speechless, and his heart was pierced, Lao Tie.
After a long time, Zhu Gaoyuan said again: "I have become different now. ”
"Really?" Hu Xinshui was stunned, "How has the Holy Lord become a different method?" ”
"Knowing the soldiers, I know the soldiers now." Zhu Gaoyuan decisively put gold on his face, if he doesn't put gold on himself at this time, he is afraid that he will have no chance in the future, in addition to ability, if you want to succeed, you have to learn to package yourself.
"Zhibing?" Hu Xinshui frowned slightly, and it must be admitted that Chongzhen's series of troops after breaking out of the siege from Beijing were indeed somewhat unexpected.
No one expected that he did not go south or east after the breakdown, but actually fled north into Yanshan, and after provoking the Gongtu tribe at the northern foot of Yanshan, he did not hide in Yanshan again, but went north and went deep into the grassland.
In the middle, if there is a slight mistake in any link, Chongzhen is only afraid that he will be imprisoned early.
Zhu Gaoyuan said again: "When I was young, I actually read a lot of military books, but because I didn't have the opportunity to lead soldiers in the deep palace, I didn't know that I still had the talent to use soldiers, and the talent was not low. ”
"What's the use of that?" Hu Xinshui said, "The Ming Dynasty has accumulated a lot of difficulties, there is no hope, just rely on half of the south of the Yangtze River, with those civil officials who only know how to dump each other, greedy for money and military generals who are greedy for life and afraid of death, it is impossible to beat more than a million thieves, the minister might as well say a sentence of heart, the demise of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable, accept fate." ”
"Is it inevitable?" Zhu Gaoyuan said, "In fact, the foundation of the thieves is very shallow, and soon they will destroy the Great Wall. ”
Hu Xinshui said abruptly: "It's useless to say this, you can't even go out of the grassland, even if the minister's thousand Yiding are willing to fight for the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to protect you back to Guannei, let alone protect you to kill back to Nanjing under the siege and interception of hundreds of thousands of thieves and cavalry, this is simply impossible." ”
Zhu Gaoyuan smiled and said, "Hu Aiqing, how about we make a bet?" ”
After a pause, he said: "If I can cripple the thieves and the cavalry of the Gongtu Department on the other side without much effort, and then return to Nanjing without much effort, you and your 1,000 Yiding will agree to fight for the Ming Dynasty." ”
Hu Xinshui glanced at the torch in Wang Chengen's hand, and finally nodded: "Okay, bet." ”
"Very good, Hu Aiqing, you have made the most correct decision in your life." Zhu Gaoyuan said, "Then now, there is Lao Hu Aiqing who will return to the military camp on the other side with me, and this thousand Yiding will be temporarily commanded by Ling Lang." ”
It is not necessary to immediately annex this thousand tigers and wolves, and it is easy to lose their heads in the middle of the night.
"Yes." Hu Xinshui responded very simply, because there was really no need to burn with Chongzhen's jade.
When Chongzhen realizes that he is not a soldier at all, and he has no ability to defeat the remnants of the thieves and the Arch Rabbit Department, it is not too late to persuade him to accept the reality, and people will have to face the reality after all.
If it really doesn't work, it's better to solve it by force.
As long as you live, you have a chance.
