Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 408 Killing Wu Sangui and Capturing Hong Chengchou Alive
Dutong Jinli was smashed into pieces by the guards' shells.

Mele Erzhen Sarhuda was shot in the neck by the guards' bullet, convulsed on the ground, bleeding to death.

Meng Qiaofang, the right servant of the Ministry of War, the governor of Shaanxi, was stabbed to death by the infantry of the Guards with bayonets.

In the end, only Wu Sangui, King of Pingxi, and Hong Chengchou, a scholar of the Inner Academy and Shangshu of the Ministry of War, were left surrounded by the guards in a snowy field.

Many corpses of the Qing army had fallen on the snow.

Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou glanced at each other, then at the guards in mandarin duck uniforms and the rising flags with Ming characters.

The two were terrified, uneasy, and a little dazed. They never thought that one day they would stand on the opposite side of Daming, let alone be surrounded by the Ming army and face the situation of being executed by the Ming army.

At this time, Zhu Youjian also came on horseback, followed by Qin Liangyu, He Xin, Liu Fangliang, Wu Mengming and others.

"Long live, long live!"

"Long live, long live!"

"Long live, long live!"

At this time, more than 5 main forces of the Qing army had been annihilated by the guards. There were more than 20 captured Qing troops alone, and no less than [-] Qing soldiers were killed and wounded by the guards everywhere.

This is a decisive victory!

Because of this, the moment the Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian appeared, the entire Guards shouted.

It can be said that the mountains and rivers are shaken by the air, and ghosts and gods are afraid.

Looking at Zhu Youjian at this time, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui naturally had all sorts of feelings in their hearts.

Hong Chengchou really did not expect that he would be reduced to where he is today. He was very surprised, surprised that Zhu Youjian was not on the north bank of the Yellow River, but why he suddenly appeared here again.

At this time, Hong Chengchou didn't know how to feel, but he knew that he was defeated, and he lost completely.

Wu Sangui clenched his fist tightly. He hated and feared Zhu Youjian in his heart. The hatred was naturally because Zhu Youjian killed his whole family and forced Chen Yuanyuan to write him a letter of renunciation.

He is afraid of Zhu Youjian because of his deep-rooted thoughts of monarch and minister.

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 king and ministers.

At this time, he couldn't help thinking, if Chongzhen had not stood aside for 17 years, but went to Jingqin King without hesitation, would it be a different ending, would the lives of more than [-] members of his Wu family still be alive? , Will Chen Yuanyuan not break up with her, will she still be Ping Xibo of Daming, and not a running dog of Man Qing.

"Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui".

Zhu Youjian laughed.

Frankly speaking, this was the first time he saw Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui, but it was as if he had met several times before, and even they were very familiar with each other.

"Your Majesty! This humble minister is guilty!"

Hong Chengchou first knelt down with a plop and burst into tears.

At this time, Hong Chengchou really knew that he should give in. He did not expect that the old Chongzhen Emperor, who was self-willed and ambitious, would wipe out his 50 army at this moment, and now forced him to confess his guilt and kneel down.

Zhu Youjian got off his horse, walked over, and whipped the whip in Hong Chengchou's face: "Why didn't you hang yourself in the Songjin battle back then!"

Snapped!
Zhu Youjian's whip slammed into the sky, and it hit Hong Chengchou's face directly, showing bloodstains as thick as a thumb.

Hong Chengchou knelt down and hugged Zhu Youjian's feet, weeping like a woman and a child, wiping his nose and tears on Zhu Youjian's body: "Your Majesty, my minister is guilty, my minister is guilty, I beg your majesty to hang myself, and now I will give you a hand!" Hang yourself, okay?"

Hong Chengchou knew that the emperor of Ming Dynasty was more lenient to his subjects, especially the Chongzhen Emperor in front of him, although he was irritable and killed countless officials, but only Hong Chengchou knew that the real Zhu Youjian was not like this, the real Zhu Youjian was full of emotion The emperor is a pure and innocent emperor.

He felt that as long as he was willing to plead guilty and beg for death, based on 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 of the same kind as him. He believed that as long as he was escorted back to Nanjing, those civil officials would spare no effort to step on him and spit on him. , asking Zhu Youjian to delay himself.

For, to be otherwise 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 crime, he was afraid of death, he was really afraid of death.

"If you want to hang yourself now, it's not that simple. Lu Xiangsheng died for the country, but you, Hong Chengchou, would succumb to a woman. Not only did you succumb, but you also helped the Qing Dynasty to destroy my Ming Dynasty. Your book reads like a dog's stomach Shameless! You are not my minister of Ming Dynasty, your king is Shunzhi, and you are a servant of Jiannu, don’t call me a minister in front of me, you are not worthy!”

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

"Your Majesty, you are embarrassing me like this!"

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

"Put Hong Chengchou under custody, and let someone watch over him. If there is a slight mistake, I will ask you!"

Zhu Youjian said something to Wu Mengming, the commander of Jinyiwei, and walked towards Wu Sangui: "Wu Sangui, in the 17th year of Chongzhen, I called you to the King of Jingqin, but you delayed the time on the grounds of insufficient military pay, and then I will follow you again Guard the Shanhai Pass and not surrender to the Qing, you have violated my will, but brought the Qing army into the pass, why did you do this?"

"Without him, follow the general trend of the world."

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

"Okay, what a general trend of the world, but you have misread the general trend of the world! I know that you, Wu Sangui, are not a simple person. You are cruel, merciless, resourceful and resourceful. Maybe in your eyes, I am not as good as you, but look now, it is you! Won!"

Zhu Youjian shouted loudly.

But Wu Sangui laughed wryly: "The winner is the king and the loser, if you want to kill or cut, please do it!"

"It's a bit more bloody than Hong Chengchou. He is worthy of being the commander-in-chief who has guarded the border town for many years, but you should not forget the way of being a minister! You should not forget that you are a Han!"

As Zhu Youjian spoke, he suddenly stabbed Wu Sangui's chest with a sword, and stabbed in fiercely:

"You were raised by me alone, and I will end your life today. I have already killed your entire Wu family, and you are the only one missing!"

"Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan her."

Wu Sangui clutched his chest and looked at Zhu Youjian hesitantly.

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

In the end, Wu Sangui stood upside down in the white snow, and he couldn't help but look at Qin Liangyu before he closed his eyes. Yes, he should be like her, holding a spear like her, and standing in front of the king wearing a crown on his head.
