Chapter 137 What a painful realization
That night, the city of Guiyang was filled with a solemn look.

A large number of Qing troops were dispatched to search and kill the guards and servants brought into the city by An Kun and others.

Outside the city, the chieftain's soldiers and horses were falling into a huge trap.

"Minions, does the wine taste good and the meat tastes good?" A Qing general asked.

"Delicious!"

"good to eat!"

The chieftain soldier replied cheerfully.

"Okay! Governor Hong and the general have orders. The chieftain soldiers have made great contributions. In addition to the special food and wine, each of them will also receive a reward of ten taels of silver. Now follow me to the school grounds to receive the reward!"

"Thank you, Master!" a chieftain soldier cheered.

Ten taels of silver is a huge amount for them!
In this way, the chieftain soldiers who were eating and drinking went to the school grounds outside Guiyang in groups.

Since they did not wear armor when eating and drinking, when they arrived at the school grounds, these chieftain soldiers were naturally not wearing armor, and some even did not bring weapons.

After they entered the school grounds, a large number of Qing troops swarmed in and surrounded them.

"Fire!"

Before the chieftain soldiers could react, the Qing army launched an attack.

There was a loud noise and thousands of muskets fired simultaneously.

One of the chieftain soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

In the distance, the Qing army's artillery was also aimed at the chieftain soldiers, throwing firepower wildly.

In just a moment, these elite Guizhou chieftains suffered countless casualties.

After several rounds of fire, the chieftain soldiers, who were beaten by lead bullets and arrows and howled like ghosts, were completely in disarray.

The armored infantry of the Qing army began to approach.

"Whoever descends shall be spared death!"

A loud shout came out.

Under the organization of officers at all levels, the Qing army formed a formation to surround and kill.

Around them, a large number of Manchu, Mongolian and Han cavalry were roaming, ready to hunt down the chieftain deserters at any time.

In front of the army, the chieftain soldiers who had lost their organizational strength were like frightened birds, with no courage to resist at all.

Except for a very small number of warriors who charged into the Qing army's formation with their swords, they were stabbed to death by the Qing army's spears or shot with blunderbuss.

Most of the chieftain soldiers trembled, laid down their weapons in despair, and surrendered to the Qing army.

Of course, in the middle of the night, there were still some who took advantage of the darkness to break away from the brightly lit school grounds, which looked like daytime, broke out of the Qing army's siege, and fled into the long night.

However, by the time the sun rose the next day, most of the elite chieftain soldiers were dead, injured, or surrendered.

"These southern barbarians are so invincible, hahaha!"

Seeing that the chieftain soldiers had disintegrated, many Manchu and Mongolian generals laughed.

"Clean up the battlefield and put things in order quickly!"

Luo Tuo looked at the surrendering chieftain soldier and felt very happy. He raised his hand and gave the order.

It is normal for the chieftain soldiers without any armor to be completely destroyed when they are caught off guard.

Not to mention the chieftain soldiers, even the Qi family army could not do anything in this situation.

What's more, compared with the Qing army, the combat effectiveness of the chieftain soldiers was no match for the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners and the elite Green Battalion.

I think back then, the four brothers Sun Kewang and the remnants of the [-] Great Western Army were able to walk sideways in Yunnan and Guizhou.

The chieftains from all over the world, even the strongest Sha Dingzhou, cannot compete with him.

Facing tens of thousands of tiger and wolf Qing troops, what can An Kun and others do?

In general, the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia and the Hesheng Western Army are the first-class armies of this era.

The Guizhou chieftain army, which could not even defeat Pi Xiong and Wang Xiang, could only be regarded as a third-rate army.

Even under normal circumstances, such an army would be defeated by the Eight Banners in the field, let alone at this time?
As the smoke outside the city dissipates, the chieftain in the city is coming to an end.

"Are you recruiting or not!"

In a room in the lord's palace, several chieftains were hung up and were being tortured.

"Master, I am a loyal and good person of the Qing Dynasty!" Many people wailed.

"Zhongliang, haha!" A Qing army general waved his hand.

I saw pieces of red-hot soldering iron being pulled out of the furnace.

"Ah——!" A miserable howl sounded.

The hot red soldering iron made a squeaking sound when it came into contact with the flesh.

"I'm going to attack, I'm going to attack, I'm going to attack!" These chieftains really couldn't stand such torture.

"Tell me how you colluded with Li Dingguo, and how many accomplices you have!"

As soon as these words came out, these chieftains were dumbfounded.

"Master, this slave really didn't collude with Li Dingguo!"

"You are so bold, you dare to fool your master. Come on, please continue to punish me!"

The Manchu and Mongolian generals in charge of the interrogation were furious and ordered the prisoners to continue to be tortured.

Red-hot iron rods stood up one after another.

Then all the chieftains were hung up.

"Master, what are you going to do!"

Looking at the red-hot iron rod, these chieftains felt terrified, but they didn't know what kind of treatment they would receive later.

"Master, help you disobedient slaves to open a passage."

"Open the passage?" These people were completely confused.

The Manchu and Mongolian general sneered and then waved his hand.

Upon seeing this, more than a dozen soldiers immediately placed these huge red iron rods behind the buttocks of the chieftains.

"Ahhh!"

Seeing this, these people couldn't help but tighten their anus, sweating profusely, and their faces were extremely pale.

"Ask me again, how did you collude with Li Dingguo, and how many accomplices do you have!"

"Master, we really didn't collude with Li Dingguo! For the sake of our contribution to the Qing Dynasty, please let me go!" These chieftains continued to beg.

"Hmph! I won't shed tears until I see the coffin! Put one away first when someone comes!" the Manchurian general said coldly.

In an instant, the leader of the toasts who were hung up in a fancy way was quickly put down.

The chieftain was seen falling quickly in a crouching position, and his butt quickly came into contact with the iron rod.

A sour sound came out, and then turned into a miserable howl.

"what--!"

Before the sound lingered, a burnt smell came out from behind the buttocks of this toast.

He simply rolled his eyes and passed out.

"Have you seen the consequences of fooling your master?"

The Manchu and Mongolian generals laughed loudly and said, "Why don't you recruit them from the ground up!"

"Master, I really didn't collude with Li Dingguo!"

"Come here, put another one in!"

The sound of squeaking sounded again, and another toast smelled of burnt buttocks and passed out.The remaining toasts looked pale and trembling all over.

"Ask me again, did you collude with Li Dingguo?"

The remaining toast swallowed.

"Yes...yes...we did collude with Li Dingguo."

"As expected!" General Manmeng's eyes narrowed.

"You dog slaves are really restless. Fortunately, the masters were prepared, otherwise we, the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, would have made the same mistake as Sun Kewang."

The chieftain chiefs were all filled with grief and anger. The Tatars were judging them like this, so they couldn't help but collude with Li Dingguo!
"Tell me quickly how you colluded with Li Dingguo and how many accomplices you have!"

The Manchu and Mongolian general's expression changed, and he showed his murderous intent again.

The Qing Dynasty doesn't have much time to spend in Guiyang. These chieftains must get a result as soon as possible.

"This..." The chieftains didn't know how to answer.

They didn't collude with Li Dingguo, so they couldn't answer this question for a while.

"Hmph! You slave dog, you are trying to fool your master again. It seems that dogs really can't change their habit of eating shit! Come on, let another one go!"

There was another scream, and a black flower bloomed on the buttocks of the No. 3 chieftain.

"Master! I did have correspondence with Li Dingguo. I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

The remaining four chieftains spoke quickly.

"That's right. It turns out there were letters exchanged. It's just as the masters expected."

"Quickly tell me, what's in the letter! How many accomplices are there!"

"This..." The remaining four chieftains were in trouble again.

Even if you make up things that don’t exist, you can’t make them up in a short time!

"Put another one on!"

"Master! Li Dingguo asked us to turn against Wang Shi anyway when he sends out troops!"

"Haha! As expected, you dog slaves, even if you are all Sun Wukong, how can you escape from the palms of us Manchu Tathagata!"

"Tell me how many accomplices there are!"

"There is... An Kun."

"Is it just one person? Come on, let him go!"

"Master! There are An Kun, An Chongrong, An Ruding, Xiong Guoxian, Mi Yinggui, Dao Sheng, Li Wanzi, and Chen Guocai!"

"Is that all? It seems you are still dishonest. Come on! Keep letting me go!"

"Master! There are also Chen Fenglin, Gao Cen, Ji Shiying..."

Looking at the dense list of names in his hand, the Manchu and Mongolian general breathed a sigh of relief.

The people on these lists are all anti-Qing heroes.

It’s just that these so-called heroes all fought against the Qing Dynasty in 1664.

The Qing army entered Guizhou in 58. What do you mean by gathering people to resist the Qing in 64?
What were you doing in the past few years?
The group of leading parties in Shuixi led the way most actively. Bai Wen selected Qixingguan, which was garrisoned by tens of thousands of troops, but Wu Sangui flew over under the leadership of Shuixi soldiers.

Later, Li Dingguo was completely destroyed, Wu Sangui was killed, and talents like An Kun jumped out to resist the Qing Dynasty, and finally died as heroes who resisted the Qing Dynasty.

The glorious deeds of these heroes leading the way in history were all shouldered by Sun Guozhu.

After the defeat at Jiaoshui, Zhang Sheng had a bloody battle with Li Dingguo alone in Hunshuitang, and almost overturned Li Dingguo's car.

Zhang Hu, the most loyal subordinate of Lord Sun, was also trying his best to be loyal to Sun Kewang.

After returning to Guiyang, Sun Ke hoped to stabilize the situation in Guiyang, while Zhang Hu went to Shuixi to borrow troops in an attempt to help Sun Guojun make a comeback.

As a result, An Kun, who used to kneel and lick the leader of the Sun Kingdom, directly captured Zhang Hu and handed it over to Liu Wenxiu.

Later, Zhang Hu was sent to Kunming and executed in Lingchi.

So no matter from which aspect, Sun Kewang has a blood feud with the Shuixi gang.

Now under the four characters of gathering troops and gathering valleys.

Feeling that the situation was not good, the Manchu and Qing forces decided to attack An Kun and others in order to avoid the same fate as Li Zicheng and Sun Kewang.

An Kun and others were taken care of by Lord Sun through the hands of the Qing Dynasty. They deserved their death because they deserved it!

"Dog slave, do you want to recruit me or not?"

In a large room, Ji Xiha held up a large number of confessions identifying An Kun and smiled.

"If you want to impose a crime, why bother?" An Kun said angrily.

"Hmph! If you don't eat the toast, you'll be fined with wine! Come on, give me a heavy punishment!"

"Kill if you want, why do you have to do this!"

"If it weren't for the purpose of getting a confession to prove that I, the Qing Dynasty, did not kill Zhongliang in vain, An Kun, you would have been executed by Lingchi!" Ji Xiha smiled coldly.

After all, our Qing Dynasty needs to win over the hearts and minds of Yunnan and Guizhou people, so although An Kun and others will undoubtedly die, for the sake of our Qing Dynasty, we also need to strive to minimize the impact!

Soon An Kun was beaten with bruises all over his body. He endured all kinds of torture.

Seeing the dying An Kun, many Manchu and Mongolian generals were confused.

"Master, Governor Hong has always been unwilling to take action against An Kun. Now it seems that he can withstand so much torture. Could it be that we made a mistake?" A Mongolian counselor said.

"Good slave, you are still too short-sighted."

Ji Xiha said in a deep voice: "What does it mean that An Kun can endure so many tortures and refuse to admit it?"

"This shows that he is a wolf! A die-hard loyalist to the remnants of the previous Ming Dynasty!"

"Have you ever seen a person who is not afraid of torture and is willing to surrender to our Qing Dynasty!"

"The fact that An Kun is like this shows that he is a die-hard loyalist to Qian Ming! He is the biggest undercover hidden in our royal division. Otherwise, why could he withstand the torture that even his masters cannot bear!"

As soon as these words came out, the Manchu and Mongolian generals were shocked and even broke out in cold sweat.

"My master is right. An Kun was able to withstand so many tortures and was unwilling to confess. It's really scary to think about! It seems that Sun Kewang hit the nail on the head when he said that his plan was huge!"

"Yes, how can a person who is not even afraid of torture surrender to the Qing Dynasty sincerely?"

A famous Manchurian and Mongolian general made an idea and made An Kun so angry that he vomited blood.

"God, why are you doing this to me!" An Kun shouted to the sky.

He knew that confessing would lead to death, so he persisted in order to survive.

I once thought that this kind of persistence has become ironclad evidence in the eyes of the Tatars!
But then again, An Kun's performance at this time was indeed very courageous, and he endured all kinds of torture in order to survive.

Although the Qing Dynasty is unwilling to admit it, they also know in their hearts that no one with integrity would shave his head sincerely!

So when faced with the strong suspicion of the Manchu and Mongolian generals, An Kun was doomed no matter what.

Listening to An Kun's screams, the Manchu and Mongolian generals sneered.

"Hmph! We, the Qing Dynasty, have been destined by fate. No matter how capable Li Dingguo is, he will just end up like Jiang Wei. And you, An Kun, are useless in front of our Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, no matter how many tricks you have!"

Ji Xiha sneered and said: "Come here, please continue to serve this good slave. The more he refuses to confess, the more vicious his plan is and the greater the harm to our Qing Dynasty. For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, Slaves, use [-]% of your strength to interrogate me!"

"嗻!" Several Geshiha stepped forward and continued to torture An Kun.

Soon the frustrated An Kun could no longer hold on, and murmured to himself as he lay dying.

"Why, why does God want to do this to me?"

"Yes! I understand! I shouldn't shave my head, I shouldn't become a Tatar!"

"Tatars are the despicable things in the world. If I take refuge with them, I am seeking the skin of a tiger!"

"I, An Kun, shave my head and become a monk. I am ashamed of my ancestors! It is not a pity to die! It is a pity that my family business in Shuixi for hundreds of years will be destroyed in my hands!"
