please make me king

Chapter 1592 "Full of Loyalty"

Just when Zhang Sanbai was preparing to support Liaoyang, a fierce offensive and defensive battle came to an end in Haizhou, ninety miles east of Niuzhuangyi.

Haizhou is 120 miles away from Liaoyang in the north, 120 miles away from Fuzhou in the south, and 240 miles away from Guangning in the west.

As the saying goes, "with Liaoyang on the chest, wide wings on Ning, control the channels of the east and west, serve as the throat of the sea, and the important place on the left side of Liao".

That is to say, whether it is taking the Liaoxi Corridor to enter Liaodong by land, or taking Lushunkou to enter Liaodong by sea, Haizhou is the only way for the inland to go deep into Liaoyang and Shenyang.

And just because this place is so important, it is gratifying for Mrs. Hong to confer this place to the former Ming general, hoping that it will cover the Ming army.

However, the world is ever-changing, no matter how scheming Mrs. Hong is, she never expected that her monk Kexi and others would be trapped together in the pass.

Since then, the four prefectures of Jingai Fuhai, which were originally strong, have been seriously damaged, and they have lost their strength. Among them, Kong Youde in Liaoyang and Shang Kexi in Haizhou are the most important.

Although there are still more than a thousand veterans stationed in Haizhou City, but Bai Guangen "there are no weak soldiers in the hands of strong generals", and his men and horses can also fight.

The two sides fought fiercely for two days, and the rebel army finally blasted open the city gate with artillery, and then rushed in and entered the city.

There were not many soldiers in that city, and now that the city is lost, it is even more difficult to resist, and was quickly killed by the rebels to Shangfu.

The defeated soldiers of the "Heaven's Blessing" hid in the Shang Mansion and continued to resist, but the rebels failed to attack several times.

While mobilizing the cannon, Bai Guangen persuaded him to surrender loudly: "You are the people of China, innocent people were slaughtered by the Tartars, and your hatred is as deep as the sea."

"Now that the king's teacher has arrived, why don't you eat the pot of milk, and instead help the tyrant to abuse you?"

As soon as Bai Guangen said this, it immediately caused a commotion in "Heaven's Helping Soldiers".

To be honest, a few years ago, they were all good men who fought against the Tartars, and they had a deep hatred with Hou Jin, and they were at odds with each other.

In the end, I never thought that it was me who was the Tartar in just a few years.

Such self-contradiction will inevitably cause the army's morale to be shaken, and everyone will be suspicious.

"What a pair of sharp teeth!" Unexpectedly, at this moment, a person suddenly stepped out and retorted loudly, "I am still blessed!"

"My father is an old general from the Dongjiang River. In the second year of Tianqi's aid to Kashima, he was not in the battle. My second brother is still cute, and my third brother is still peaceful. In the seventh year of Tianqi's sentry in Phoenix City, he was loyal to the captives."

"My fifth elder brother can be feared. If he doesn't follow Liu Xingzhi's rebellion, he will be killed. My elder brother can still enter and chase the captives on Zhangzi Island. Unexpectedly, the enemy is outnumbered, and he is a captive. His life and death are unknown. My sixth brother can follow righteously. Huang Zongzhen defended Lushun to the death and died in battle for the country."

"My father and son brothers 'seven wolves and eight tigers', six of them died in the king's affairs one after another. There are hundreds of people in the whole family, all of whom were killed."

"Everyone comment, what is unfaithful and unrighteous in my Shang family? What is unfaithful and unrighteous in our Heavenly Assistant Soldiers?"

"I dare to pat my chest and say, we are sorry for Daming, it is Daming who is sorry for us, and our Shang family!"

I saw Shang Kefu's expression was agitated, and when he talked about the sad part, his heart was piercing and tears flowed down his face.

"Well said!" Bai Guangen couldn't help but look at Shang Kefu with admiration when he heard the words, and couldn't help but boast first.

"Your father and brother are full of loyalty, and they should be left in history and passed down through the ages!"

"However, your brother and brother are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they recognize a thief as their father, so that the family's reputation will be stigmatized for thousands of years."

"If your father and your brother have knowledge from the spring, how will you see your father and brother?"

"You, you traitor, you dare to talk about loyalty with me!" Hearing this, Shang Kefu felt a sense of grief and anger smoldering in his chest, and he couldn't breathe for a while.

It turns out that after the Liao incident, there were many loyal members in the Shang family, and Shang Kexi and his brother Shang Kefu were also proud of this.

It's just that no one expected that the brothers from the Shang family, who had always prided themselves on "loyalty" by mistake, finally had no choice but to take refuge in Hou Jin, who had a deep hatred for him.

Bai Guangen's words touched Shang Kefu's sore spot, so he was ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but curse out.

His scolding was inappropriate, which basically represented Bai Guangen's failure in persuading him to surrender.

"Are you really going to stop thinking about it? His Royal Highness King Shun is a benevolent person. If the Shang family is willing to surrender, they will not lose their wealth." Bai Guangen still did not give up, and asked again.

"The righteousness of a man is not to be humiliated. In the past, when my brothers were judged to return to the Qing Dynasty, it was already disloyal and unfilial. How could there be any reason to vote for others and become a 'family slave with three surnames'?" Shang Kefu couldn't help but refused, "Now I'm dead , don't say more!"

"Okay!" Bai Guangen was silent for a moment, and finally ordered helplessly, "Fire!"

It turned out that when the two were negotiating, some soldiers had already pulled over the rebel army's field artillery and gold cannon.

Following Bai Guangen's order, the general attack on the Shang Mansion started.

The violent gunpowder pushed the heavy iron bullet and smashed it hard against the wall of the Shang Mansion.

Although the building of this Shang Mansion is very luxurious and sturdy, it is not a standard military facility after all, and it cannot withstand the bombardment of the rebel artillery at all.

After four or five rounds of bombardment, only a loud noise was heard, and a courtyard wall of the Shang Mansion collapsed, and the rebel army rushed in, killing everyone they saw, and soon entered the Shang Mansion.

"Ma'am, hurry up!" Shang Kefu rushed into the mansion at the moment when the rebels entered the mansion, and shouted loudly to several female relatives and children.

"The Shang Mansion can't hold on any longer. I have already decided to die for my country. I also ask my wife and several sister-in-laws to leave as soon as possible."

Unexpectedly, the "madam" smiled sadly, looked around and the baby in her arms, and said: "I followed your fourth brother to wander about, and finally settled down. I never thought that he would let go again."

"I've heard that since ancient times, losers have had their wealth and life in their hands. Even if they wanted to survive, they still couldn't survive."

"Although I am a woman, how can I not compare to a man from Shang's family?"

"Willing to spend the festival with Madam!" The expressions of the other female relatives changed greatly when they heard the words, but they still insisted on responding.

It turned out that the Shang family lived in Lushun City at the beginning, and later Shang Keyi and others followed Huanglong, the general soldier of the Dongjiang River, and died in battle. Hundreds of members of the Shang family either committed suicide or fell into the hands of "Tarzi", and they were almost humiliated. All dead and wounded.

After Shang Kexi took refuge in Houjin, Hong Taifa returned the Shang family's population, only 27 were found.

It is still gratifying that Mrs. Liu and her wives, concubines and concubines, although they have not encountered such difficulties, have heard of it a lot.

Now when they hear that the "shun thief" is attacking, they all tremble, for fear that what happened that day will happen again.

"Okay, okay, everyone is doing well!" Mrs. Liu was full of joy when she heard that, so she took a torch and ignited the sulfur and firewood that had been piled up in the yard.

The flames spread to the entire courtyard in an instant, and then raging fire and billowing smoke came out.

"Fire, fire, fire!" And when Mrs. Shang Kexi's courtyard was burning, the soldiers of the rebel army had already noticed the commotion here.

"Hurry up, put out the fire!" Someone had already shouted involuntarily.

If you are dead, it will be a hundred, so what should we do with our credit and spoils?
"Forget it, let them burn it!" Unexpectedly, Bai Guangen stretched out his hand to stop them, and sighed, "Let them go, at least they are 'full of loyalty'!"

"What kind of Lao Shizi's 'full family loyalty' is this?" Someone said in amazement after hearing this.

"Father and brother are loyal to the country, brothers are loyal to the enemy, how can they not be called 'loyal'?" Bai Guangen sarcastically said.

"You must know that the father who recognizes the thief as the father is also the 'father'!"
