Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Shang Zhijie is Shang Kexi's own son, and there is no way out if he surrenders.So after learning that Ama Shang Kexi had ambushed in Longtoushan and had been captured by Zhuge's army division, he immediately abandoned the army with a few cronies and went into the forest north of the battlefield - north of Longtou Mountain and Matou Mountain It is a large stretch of hills with dense vegetation, complex terrain, and few people. Although it is not suitable for large troops to enter and exit, but with a few followers of Shang Zhijie, the pursuers of Jinyi's army really can't do anything to them.

Shang Zhixiao's luck was a little bit... maybe a lot worse.

He was regarded as Shang Kexi by Zhu and Zhu Zhu saints, and he was beaten like crazy.Moreover, Shang Zhijie's location is far away from Longtou Mountain and the mountains north of Matou Mountain, so he can't run across it at all.Zhu Heqi's pursuit was too fierce, and 6000 people followed him like crazy, chasing after Shang Zhixiao's men, shouting the slogan "Saint, Saint", killing them until they broke into an army.

Shang Zhixiao, who fled under the black light and blind fire, didn't care about the direction of his escape anymore, so it doesn't matter where he ran to!

As a result, he was forced to the bank of the Pearl River in the early morning of May [-]. He wanted to throw himself into the river but was afraid of the cold water. The fierce general led someone to capture him alive.

When he was taken to Zhu Heqi by Ling Zongjun, a tiger general of Jinyi's pro-army, Zhu Heqi realized that he was chasing the wrong person!

Shang Kexi can't be that young!Shang Kexi was born in the 32nd year of Wanli, almost 30 this year, and Shang Zhixiao is only in his [-]s!

After some questioning and finding out Shang Zhixiao's identity, Zhu Hechi, who was a little disappointed, had no choice but to escort Shang Zhixiao back to the Longtoushan battlefield.

When he arrived at Longtou Mountain Pass at noon that day, he heard the good news that Army Master Zhuge was captured alive from the officers and soldiers in Jinyi who were cleaning the battlefield.

At that moment, Zhu Heqi was so happy that he didn't even care about Shang Zhixiao and a bunch of prisoners captured on the bank of the Pearl River, and handed them all over to his subordinates. He flew to the South Sea Temple with only twenty or thirty bearded Confucians. .

He has to take a good look at Shang Kexi, a butcher whose hands are covered with the blood of the people of Guangdong!

When Zhu Heqi came to the South China Sea Temple excitedly, Shang Kexi, Jin Guang, and Shang Congzhi were hugging each other and crying in a newly made wooden cage!

Military Master Zhuge waved a goose-feather fan and persuaded him with good words: "Don't cry, don't cry... A man bleeds and doesn't shed tears, and he will bleed! It's gratifying, you are Qing Yao Pingnan King, yes Xuanye Yaotou's most loyal servant, Xuanye has a deep relationship with your master and slave, and will not ignore you. As long as Xuanye agrees to our request, we will let you go!"

What?put?How can it be?

As soon as Zhu Heqi heard this, he became anxious. What is this Zhuge military division doing?How can Shang Kexi let it go?He has millions of enemies in Guangdong!

However, he didn't rush in and "slap Zhuge Junshi" in the face, but coughed outside the door.

Military Master Zhuge heard Zhu Heqi's voice, and quickly turned around and left the house. When he went outside, he saw Zhu Heqi, whose hair, beard and clothes were still wet, and his face was covered with rain and sweat. He hurriedly asked, "My lord, why are you coughing?" Is it? Is it because of the cold? Hurry up and take a hot bath, change into clean clothes, and drink some ginger tea to get rid of the cold."

The hot water for bathing, the clean clothes for replacement, and the ginger tea for dispelling the cold have already been prepared, and it's not for Zhu Heqi alone, but for everyone in the army.

This is the benefit of the "people's army"!

Because Zhu Heqi's army won the support of most of the people in Guangfu, fighting in the city of Guangzhou is like fighting at home, almost getting what you want!And the people don't even want to give money - killing Shang Kexi's family is revenge for the people!What's more, Zhu Hexi is still a saint who can "live the dead, flesh and bones", and Zhuge Liang's descendants will assist him, and he will definitely be the emperor in the future...

And the South China Sea Temple occupied by Zhu Heqi is indeed a treasure.Because this place needs to entertain the sacrificial officials sent by the imperial court, Shang Kexi who has done too many bad things will sometimes come here to worship the gods.Therefore, this temple occupies a large area, has many houses, and there is a gratifying other courtyard beside it.More than 1 people can live in the temple and other courtyards.

There are official roads and docks near the temple, and the transfer of materials is also extremely convenient.

Therefore, the Ming army who returned to the temple could receive good care, and the wounded and sick could be treated in time, and if an infectious disease was found, they could be quarantined in time.

But Zhu Heqi was as strong as a cow in this life, so he could bear the cold and fatigue, and he didn't get sick at all.So seeing Army Master Zhuge coming out, his cough healed immediately.

"Thank you, Military Advisor, for your concern." Zhu Hexi and Military Advisor Zhuge were polite first, then pointed to the room, "Is Shang Kexi inside?"

Army Master Zhuge nodded with a smile, "Thanks to you, saint, he was captured alive!"

"Haha," Zhu Heqi provoked Thumbs up, "The military division is really a god!"

Army Master Zhuge was also a little embarrassed to be praised so much by Zhu Heqi, and even said a few words "lucky".

Zhu Heqi didn't continue to praise Zhuge Military Adviser, but changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Adviser, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Military Master Zhuge quickly waved his hands and said, "Where did the son come from? Shang Kexi is something I can dispose of? I was just trying to trick the old thief, trying to get the old thief's handwritten letter to embarrass the little thief Xuanye!"

"Why is it difficult?" Zhu Heqi asked with interest.

"Exchange Shang Kexi for Wu Yingxiong!" Military Master Zhuge said with a smile, "Master, do you think Xuanye is willing to exchange?"

"Definitely not!" Zhu Heqi laughed, "Wu Yingxiong is coming to Guangzhou, so Wu Sangui must follow along to rebel against the Qing Dynasty? Can Xuanye's emperor still sit down?"

Military Master Zhuge said with a smile: "If Xuanye doesn't change, he will die miserably... Such a loyal slave, even Xuanye refuses to rescue him, and the world's traitors are not everyone's heart? And Wu Sangui should also know that he is in Xuanye. What kind of thing is it in my mind!"

"Then you are still willing to write such a letter?" Zhu Heqi was a little skeptical.

Military Master Zhuge said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we have masters from Dongchang in our army, and we are ready for ten tortures!"

Chapter 170 Shang Zhixin, Your Dad Is Gone

Understanding Zhuge Junjun's thoughts, Zhu Heqi can finally take a hot bath with peace of mind, change into clean clothes, eat a bowl of warm wonton noodles, and take a nap for a while.It wasn't until the evening of the second day of May that Shang Kexi, who had been released from the cage, was seen in the apse of the South China Sea Temple surrounded by a group of "bearded Confucians" who were also cleaned up.

Shang Kexi has been washed clean and changed into a clean prison uniform, but he still looks very sluggish. There is no expression on the handsome villain's face, it seems that he has been coaxed by the military master Zhuge.

His adopted son Shang Congzhi and military advisor Jin Guang also washed and changed their clothes, and stayed by Shang Kexi's side.

All three of them were kneeling in the main hall, and there were a few tall "bearded Confucianists" standing behind them, all holding their sword hilts, staring at the three of them with angry eyes, as if they were waiting for Zhu Heqi's order to kill them !

Zhuge Junshi, Lin Ahu, Su Zhanshan, Zhao Hongkui and others also tidied up and appeared in the main hall in good spirits.Seeing Zhu and Qi coming in, they all stood up and saluted him.

"Sit, sit, all sit!"

Zhu Heqi smiled and greeted Zhuge Junshi, Lin Ahu and others to sit down, and sat down on a grand master's chair with great horsepower.

He didn't ask Shang Kexi immediately, but asked Military Master Zhuge: "Master, how is the situation? How many casualties in each town? How many new patients have been added? Are the wounded and sick taken care of?"

Military Master Zhuge smiled and said, "My lord, the troops from all towns have finished cleaning the battlefield, and they have all retreated to the Sea God Temple. They are resting now... We have won a complete victory in this battle! The number of prisoners captured alone exceeds [-]." , The number of beheadings exceeded [-]! More than [-] war horses were seized, and more armor and equipment were obtained, and the specific number is still being counted."

Six thousand plus four thousand is ten thousand!

It is gratifying that the total book value of the Banner Army and the Green Battalion is [-], although the team has expanded to more than [-] through the recruitment of Ding Yu, veterans, and banner slaves.

But after this battle is over, the main force of the Pingnan Palace is also finished.

Because in addition to being captured and beheaded, there will be a large number of wounded and sick who escaped... They marched in the heavy rain and went into battle in the rain.In fact, these people had already suffered from the cold, but they hadn't developed the disease at that time, so they could still fight a battle. After the battle, the soldiers with weaker physical resistance would all be infected.Although it is only a minor illness such as a cold, if it is not properly taken care of, it will be fatal in the end.

Therefore, among the generals of the Shang family who were defeated and fled, the generals of the Shang family who were able to return to Huizhou alive in the end were two or three thousand.

The reactionary rule of the Shang family in Guangdong is coming to an end soon!

As they spoke, Zhu Heqi's facial expression suddenly became extremely dignified, "As for our losses, there are as many as 980 heroes, more than 600 people were injured, and more than [-] people were injured because of the rain." The wind and cold are gone. Among them, the heroes who have been righteous have been restrained in coffins, and the wounded and sick have been arranged to take care of them."

Master Guo and Da Boling were in charge of collecting the dead and caring for the sick and sick in this large stall, and recruited a group of clan elders from the township capitals of Xiangshan, Shunde, Nanhai and other counties that belonged to Daming to help—— Although these clan forces in Guangdong will pose a threat to the royal power, they are indeed very useful when used by the king!

Among other things, the ability of those patriarchs and clan elders who manage hundreds of thousands of clan members on a daily basis is incomparable to those scholars who only know how to study hard. Although the clan is small, it has all internal organs!

To manage a clan well, one must be able to grasp the armed forces, promote production, build infrastructure, run schools, engage in internal diplomacy, and sometimes command clan members to fight with weapons, so everyone is a talent!

Moreover, this group of patriarchs and elders are all heroes and three gangs. They have a group of people who can drive them, and they can also mobilize quite a lot of supplies. With their assistance.

Zhu Heqi's army can be said to "fight the war very comfortably", and there is not much to worry about.

Zhu Hechi nodded and said: "All heroes who died for their country and become benevolent will be admitted to the Martyrs' Shrine, and their families will be given preferential treatment. If they have children, they will all be brought up in the Youth Hall... The sons of martyrs must be cultivated well, They also have a share in the world we conquered!"

Hearing Zhu Hexi talking about cultivating orphans of martyrs, Shang Kexi just sighed... because he seems to be the son and younger brother of a martyr of the Ming Dynasty, but now he is going to be a martyr of the Qing Dynasty!

"Shang Kexi!" At this time, Zhu Hexi had finished giving orders to the wounded and sick and the orphans of martyrs, and began to talk to Shang Kexi, "Did you agree to write a letter to Xuan Ye to ask for life?"

"Hmph!" Shang Kexi snorted, "You know that the Qing emperor can't be fooled, why do you do all these useless efforts? You're still counting on Wu Sangui to raise troops in Yunnan to respond? Hehe, you're wishful thinking!

Although Wu Sangui supports the army and is self-respecting, his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty is no less than that of the old man... That Yongli false emperor was killed by Wu Sangui. You are really dreaming if you expect him to raise troops! "

Zhu Heqi smiled and said, "That means, you have already agreed to write the letter? Once the letter is delivered, plus the news of the boy Xuan Ye's rejection, it will take at least three months, right? Write a letter It’s a good deal to live three months longer, isn’t it?”

In fact, Zhu Heqi didn't expect to force Wu Sangui back with such a divorce... He just wanted to make a problem for Emperor Kangxi, and spread the news of Shang Kexi's defeat and capture by the way.

At the same time, not killing Shang Kexi immediately is also to give Shang Zhixin and others in Guangzhou a little illusion... Only when people have illusions can life be full of hope!

Shang Kexi sighed, nodded and said: "Letter, I just write it down!"

The old traitor Shang is also a person with fantasies. He used to fantasize about Ennuzhong, the master of the Qing Dynasty, and now fantasizes that the heavenly soldiers of the Qing Dynasty can fight to Guangzhou before Zhu Hechi kills him.

Zhu Heqi looked at Jin Guang Monk Congzhi again. Shang Congzhi was young and had a cruel look on his face. Let's save Monk Kexi and go down to the [-]th floor of hell together!

That golden light looked like he was dying, and his life was not long!

So Zhu Hexi pointed to Jin Guang and said, "After Shang Kexi's letter is written, let this old man send it to Guangzhou and hand it over to Shang Zhixin!"

……

At the same moment, I Da Gongshang Zhixin in Guangzhou was actually missing his unfilial father!

This is really unexpected!

Ever since he returned to Guangdong from Beijing, Shang Zhixin had been looking forward to wearing hemp and filial piety to send his unfilial father to him earlier, until last night.

In the middle of the night last night, when Wang Guodong, who was in charge of guarding Guangzhou's East Gate, ran over in a panic and reported to him that the battle situation in the Longtoushan area seemed to be going against the Shang family's army, Shang Zhixin instantly became a filial son and began to miss his father.

He didn't even stay in the mansion anymore, but braved the wind and rain to go up to the Dongguan City Tower, climbed up and looked into the distance, watching the night and the wind and rain shrouded Longtou Mountain in the east of the city.

But it was too dark, and the rain kept falling, so Shang Zhixin didn't see anything after watching it all night.

When the sky brightened on the second day of May, there was an uneasy tranquility around Longtoushan again.Moreover, Shang Zhixin did not find that there was a brigade of Qing troops coming from the direction of Longtoushan to Guangzhou Dongguan—if Shang Kexi won the battle, he would definitely return to Guangzhou.But is there any sign of Shang Kexi's troops outside Guangzhou Chengdong Pass?

This is more ominous than good!

Sensing that he was about to lose his father's love, Shang Zhixin quickly sent Wang Guodong to lead five hundred elite soldiers to venture out of the city to "response" to Shang Kexi, who had been arrested for a long time and was imprisoned in the Sea God Temple.In the end, Shang Kexi didn't see him, but he brought back a Jin Guangjin army division who was already crying.

"Jin, Military Master Jin, has my Ahma died for the country?" Shang Zhixin's voice was trembling when he asked the question!

"My lord," Jin Guangna burst into tears, and fell at Shang Zhixin's feet, "My lord, my lord was captured by the third grandson of Zhu! My lord, my lord was defeated at the foot of Longtou Mountain, and was ambushed by Zhuge Yaodao Attacked with fire, the prince was almost burned to death..."

Chapter 171 Even if I die, I will pull the two backs!

It would be better to be burned to death!

Shang Zhixin, who was slumped on a chair on the tower of Dongguan City in Guangzhou, listened to what Jin Guang said about how Shang Kexi was captured, beaten, and wrote a letter to Emperor Kangxi for help. Dad died early.

It wasn't that he was unfilial, but that he knew that his father was going to die and there was no way to save him... It was impossible for Kangxi to save Shang Kexi, and he didn't love Shang Kexi that much.

If Shang Kexi died in battle, like a loyal vassal of the Qing Dynasty, then Emperor Kangxi might show kindness and spare Shang Zhixin's life.

But now Shang Kexi wrote some begging letter because he was afraid of death and pain, and Kangxi couldn't be furious after seeing it?Shang Kexi is not killed by Kangxi now, but Shang Zhixin is still killed by Emperor Kangxi... Kangxi can't kill the old, can't he kill the young?

This unfilial father is really harmful!It's really unfilial to use a letter of begging for mercy to harm your son when you're about to die.

Jin Guang seemed to know what Shang Zhixin was thinking, and said with tears in his eyes, "My lord, they are torturing the lord! There is a master torturer from Dongchang in the army of the fake Zhu San Taisun, who prepared ten tortures from Dongchang to punish the lord. The lord can't bear it anymore... …So knowing it was a counter-intuitive plan, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and write the letter."

Shang Zhi said confidently: "The third prince and grandson of Zhu should be fake. How could there be ten tortures in Dongchang?"

Seeing the doubts on Shang Zhixin's face, Jin Guang knew that this unfilial son was suspicious of his father, so he said with tears: "Master, what the old minister said is true! Those who tortured the prince are indeed Dongchang The masters from the background, they still speak the accent from the Baoding Mansion..."

Old man Jin didn't tell the truth. Those "Eastern Masters" did speak with a Baoding accent, but they were all under [-] years old. It is impossible for them to be the old people who followed Prince Zhu from Beijing.

But Shang Zhixin is not so "clearly aware of the details". When he hears about the Dongchang master who plays Baodingyin, he immediately thinks of the gray-haired Dongchang old man-this means that Dongchang's minions are getting old!

But how did these Dongchang veterans run to the side of the third grandson of Zhu?Could it be that the third prince Zhu and the third grandson Zhu are real?

Wu Yingxiong sent people to Guangdong to send the jade certificates and edicts that could prove the identity of the third prince Zhu... Shang Zhixin suddenly changed his face when he thought of this, and blurted out: "No, I have been fooled by Wu Yingxiong! He He has long belonged to the Third Prince Zhu!"

"What?" Jin Guang was also taken aback when he heard Shang Zhixin mention Wu Yingxiong, "My lord, how do you know that this matter is related to Wu Yingxiong? The old minister doesn't seem to have mentioned that the third grandson of the fake Zhu wants to exchange the prince for Wu Yingxiong, right?"

"What? Exchange my Ama for Wu Yingxiong..." Shang Zhixin looked at Jin Guang in surprise, "Military Master, are you serious?"

"Really, really..." Jin Guang hurriedly took out the handwritten letter written by Shang Kexi, and handed it to Shang Zhixin with both hands.

Shang Zhixin quickly took the envelope, but the envelope was not sealed, so Shang Zhixin took out the letter paper inside and read it.First I read ten lines at a glance, and then I read it carefully, word by word.

After reading it, Shang Zhixin's face turned blue, and he gritted his teeth, as if he was about to cut someone down. Jin Guang was so frightened that he thought that the eldest son was going to kill someone, so he backed away.

But Shang Zhixin's next words surprised Jin Guang beyond measure.

"Okay, what a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty Wu Sangui, what a Wu Yingxiong who is in the Qing camp and his heart is in the Ming Dynasty! I, Shang Zhixin, blindly believed in the two of you, and thought that you two would advance and retreat with my Shang family and support the bandits together. I didn't expect... you and the third prince Zhu and the third grandson Zhu are basically in the same group!"

"My lord, my lord, what are you talking about? Did you drink too much..." Wang Guodong, the commander-in-chief under Shang Zhixin, was also on the Dongguan tower at this time, and he couldn't believe it when he heard Shang Zhixin's words. The elder son is talking nonsense!

Li Tianzhi, the chief historian of the Pingnan Palace, was also terrified by Shang Zhixin's words. He looked around and found that there were still many bannermen and servants of the Pingnan Palace standing on the Dongguan City Tower at this time!

God knows if these people's words are tight... If Shang Zhixin's words are spread, not only Wu Sangui will regard the Pingnan Palace as a deadly enemy, but even the emperor will not collapse in the Pingnan Palace, and the Pingxi Palace will still be powerful to protect Pingnan. Wang Fu!

Maybe the descendants of the Shang family who escaped the current catastrophe will be killed by Emperor Kangxi to show Wu Sangui, an old traitor, that the court trusts him.

Just when Li Tianzhi was thinking about how to keep the master's secret, Shang Zhixin said "poison" again, and he said angrily: "I didn't drink, I was really tricked by Wu Yingxiong... The whole thing is that the Wu family is making trouble!

The 'Chongzhen Legacy Edict' and Zhu Cijiong's Jade Letter were not found from Danan Mountain, but Wu Yingxiong sent someone to send it to me! "

"what?"

"My lord, what did you say?"

"My lord, is what you said true?"

Shang Zhixin also went all out, and at this point, he also knew that he couldn't get better... He was already a scapegoat for the "Chongzhen Imperial Decree"!Now the family's little strength has been defeated by the unfilial father again.

And the city of Guangzhou is about to fall into his hands!

How could Emperor Kangxi spare him?

But I said that Gong Shangzhixin is not the kind of master who is willing to die casually... Even if he dies, he will have to pull two backs!

And these two backs, one is Wu Sangui and the other is Wu Yingxiong!
