Wanli 1592

Chapter 260 Wanli 1592 Fanwai - Xiao Ruxun died here for the sin of the Ming Dynasty
On December 16, 21th year of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, in the mansion of the Xiao family in Wenchang County, Qiongzhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province of the Ming Empire, an old man in his 70s was wearing a thick cotton robe and stood in his study room. A map marked with some strange symbols.

The old man seemed to be very old, but he was still in good spirits. Although his head was full of silver hair, his body was still healthy. He had stood in front of this map for half an hour, and he hadn't seen breathing.

"Father, there is definite news from the north that Governor Sun was indeed killed in battle, and his body was taken by the lord of the invading army... But the emperor still thought that Governor Sun had absconded by fraudulent death and failed to give him compensation. People of insight all over the world sighed for it. .”

A middle-aged man stood behind the old man with an extremely regretful look on his face.

"Ugh……"

The old man was silent for a long time, and the middle-aged man standing behind him only heard his father sigh deeply.

The old man turned around and looked at his eldest son.

"Have all the ships been arranged?"

"The arrangement has been made, but father, when the country is in crisis, why should we wait for a man... Father, in the face of the national crisis, how can my generals be afraid to move forward? You were also a famous general back then. Why didn't you be recruited by the court?" Yes? In the current situation, only a veteran like you can turn the tide! The army is nothing more than a mob, as long as you go out personally, you will surely win! You have lived in seclusion for so many years, why are you still..."

"Sun Chuanting also said the same! Then he died!" The old man suddenly glared angrily: "I have written to the emperor long ago, and I have written to Sun Chuanting, telling them that Chuangjun is no longer the Chuangjun five years ago! Chuangjun will also progress and change! They will also change from a mob to an elite army with rules and regulations! But what! Sun Chuanting will not listen! The emperor will not listen! Use the tactics and tactics of five years ago to deal with those five years later Chuangjun, do they think Li Zicheng is a pig?!"

The middle-aged man was speechless for a while.

The old man sighed deeply again and slowed down his tone.

"Zining, as a father, why don't you want to save the country? However, the father wants to save the country, but the country does not want to let the father save it. He slapped Wei's father's hand away, and continued to struggle in the quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper, why did Wei's father not want to save the country! But until today, the country is willing to let Wei's father save it, but the situation is irreversible , even if Taizu Chengzu is reborn, the Ming Dynasty is hopeless."

The middle-aged man also heard about what happened back then, and said: "But father, my Xiao family has always been a general. When the country is in trouble, how can we not go to the country together? You taught us these things! What's more, I The Xiao family still has the title of Uncle Ping Lu, which is hereditary and rests with the country! At this time, isn’t it time for us to rise up?”

"It's impossible to save, how can I save it? The Ming Dynasty has no hope, really no hope."

The old man sat slumped on the chair, thinking of the efforts he had made over the years, every time a turning point might happen, he had fantasies, but the reality told him time and time again that history was too heavy And he is too old to turn the tide and change history again. He is in his dying years, unable to ride a horse or swing a sword. It is ridiculous that Zhu Youjian has only brought out the story of Lianpo until today. Please go out of the mountain and save the Ming Dynasty.

Why don't you use me when I can still fight?

Your brother, your grandfather, am I not full of hope?When did you not remind them?When did you not write a letter to them?Even you, why don't I pin my hopes on you?But did you listen to me?
What else can I do with my 72-year-old body...

"Father……"

"You don't need to say any more. Today, it doesn't make any sense to say anything else. Sun Chuanting is leading the last army that the emperor can rely on. If this army is gone, what majesty does the royal family have?"

"There is also the forbidden army of the capital! There are also Wu Sangui's Shanhaiguan troops, and the soldiers from the Nine Frontiers, and there are so many troops in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, everyone can serve as king! Father! Only you have the prestige to command all the troops, only you! ! Didn’t you say that you can go to Yiwu to recruit soldiers and retrain the southern army to go north to clean up the intruders?”

The middle-aged man knelt down in front of the old man with a plop: "Father! Please come out of the mountain! Save the Ming Dynasty!"

The old man closed his eyes in pain.

"It's late, it's late, Zining, don't think about it anymore, don't think about it anymore! Listen to my father, get ready early, and go to Nanyang! Your second and third brothers have already gone to Japan and Australia, and the only thing left is You, I don't ask for anything else for my father, I only ask for the three branches of the Xiao family. No matter who can continue the descendants to prosper, don't forget that you are a descendant of China, a descendant of the Chinese Miao. If future generations can see the prosperity of the Central Plains recovery country On that day, don't forget to go home."

"Father!!!"

The middle-aged man cried out: "Father, why did you say that! The Ming Dynasty is still here! Your Majesty is still here! The country is still intact! Why did my father say that?! Father! You are an indomitable man, and you are a great general who can fight well!" Why don't you contribute to the country here! But you want to separate us from one third of the family!!! Even if the robbers conquer the world and build a new dynasty, China is still China, why should we leave our homeland to be that lonely ghost? ah!!!"

The old man sat on the seat and suddenly burst into tears.

"I don't want to be a father... just... I'm afraid that the Chinese will not be Chinese from now on! The Central Plains has been fighting endlessly, but in the end, it has taken advantage of the foreigners! My son! How can a father just watch you become slaves and foreign barbarians? My slave! I can’t be a father!! I am a Chinese descendant, a descendant of Yan and Huang! How can I be that barbarian with my left coat on!!”

"Father! You... what did you say?"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened in shock.

"I, Xiao Ruxun, am incompetent! I, Xiao Ruxun, am sorry to the people of Ming Dynasty! I killed Nurhachi, but only left out the monster Huang Taiji!! Why did I have to withdraw in such a hurry! Why couldn't I continue to search! I am the one who is sorry for the world ! I am sorry to the people of Ming Dynasty! I am sorry to all generations of China!!!”

The middle-aged man watched his father tearing his clothes and hair like a madman, dumbfounded and unable to say a word.

After a long time, Xiao Ruxun was exhausted and slumped on the chair, unable to move his fingers. The middle-aged man hurried forward to support his father.

"Father! You...what did you just say? You just said...about Jiannu...they..."

Xiao Ruxun's old hand caressed the face of the eldest son Xiao Guoliang.

"My son, I am sorry for you as a father, I am sorry for this family, and I am sorry for the people of the world. All of this is my father's fault. All of this is because my father failed to do what I should do. Until today, The only thing I can do as a father is to let you wear Chinese clothes, take the Chinese civilization away from home, find another land to multiply, and don't forget the inheritance of Chinese civilization..."

Xiao Ruxun's words made Xiao Guoliang more and more confused and frightened.

"Father...you...don't say such things...you...this..."

"My son, for my father, I can't keep the Daming River and Mountains, and I can't even fight for it in the end. The only thing I can keep for my father is you, and the folks here. On the island, lead the folks to build houses first, and then form the townspeople. While cultivating the land, don’t forget to make firecrackers and cannons. Try to search for the Han people in Nanyang. Together with you, we will occupy all the unowned islands in Nanyang. Establish a new country!"

"Father!"

Xiao Guoliang shouted in panic.
