"He Kegang, don't you want to toast and not eat fine wine!"

Seeing He Kegang's arrogance and arrogance, Han Daxun shouted: "Shuai Zu, kill He Kegang, let's open the city gate and send gold!"

Hearing this, He Kegang suddenly said to Zu Dashou: "If you really want to drop gold, what will your old mother and wife at home do? You have the heart to watch them both commit suicide? If they die because of you, what kind of conscience will your ancestor Dashou have?" What's safe? In addition to disloyalty and unfilial piety, what kind of face do you have as a son of man!"

This question touched the vital point of Zu Dashou, Zu's complexion changed slightly, he lowered his head subconsciously and hesitated. [

Zheng Changchun's heart trembled, fearing that Zu's birthday would continue, he hurriedly reminded him: "Zu Shuai, don't hesitate anymore, life or death, let's fight here. Why don't you kill him, Dajin Tianconghan may not believe us It’s a sincere surrender.”

Zu Dacheng also gritted his teeth and said: "This is the case, big brother don't want to be deceived by what he Kegang said, we have killed all the people who support him, so why should we be afraid of him. Big brother, let's do it!"

Zu Zerun had an idea, and said: "Father, don't be afraid. At worst, after the gold is surrendered, King Khan will send troops to invite grandma and mother to come with me!"

With a thought, Zu Dashou came to his senses, glanced at the subordinates who were eagerly looking at him, his eyes slowly fell on the face of the unyielding He Kegang, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to persuade him one last time, but if He Kegang insisted on not surrendering, Then don't blame him for not thinking about his love for many years.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard shouts from outside. It seemed that several people were coming towards him. Zu Dashou was startled, thinking that the killing of He Kegang's generals had leaked out, and their subordinates had come to kill him.Shocked, Liu Tianlu and the others were asked to dispatch troops quickly.

As far as the eye could see, all the generals looked shocked and showed no signs of nervousness.Zu Dashou was startled, and then saw his eldest son Zu Zerun and younger brother Zu Dacheng wink at him.

It turned out that Zu Zerun, Zu Dacheng and others had discussed in private, fearing that Zu Dashou would be persuaded by He Kegang, which would cause another misfortune in the surrender of gold, so they sent someone to tell the craftsmen in the city that He Kegang would kill them all, so that the soldiers could They were full and broke through.

As a result, the craftsmen were furious and passionate, and unanimously demanded that the city be surrendered, and many soldiers followed suit.Now, outside the door are thousands of soldiers and craftsmen clamoring for gold.

Thousands of soldiers and civilians clamoring to surrender the gold prompted Zu Dashou to make his final decision. He led the generals to the door and said to them: "This commander has decided to surrender the gold. You will disperse immediately. Later, the commander He opened the city gates and surrendered."

The craftsmen and soldiers were still shouting: "If you surrender, kill He Zhongjun first! If you don't kill He Zhongjun, I will feel restless!"

"Marshal, you can't lie to us, we built the city for you, but you want to eat us instead, what's the reason?"

"Kill this dog Zhongjun, and see if the commander-in-chief surrenders?"

Everyone shouted together, it would be impossible not to kill He Kegang, Zu Dashou immediately ordered Han Daxun to tie up He Kegang and take him outside the city to be executed in public.

Guo Yue and several other soldiers defended the lord bravely, but Nai was outnumbered and was killed.He Kegang resisted vigorously, allowing them to tie him up, showing no sign of fear.

After learning that Zu Shuai agreed to surrender, the city cheered immediately, and the cheers gradually gathered in the east city from far and near.

"Down, down!"

"God open your eyes, we have a way out!"

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

"..."[

Under the city gate, a number of unkempt and ragged soldiers came from all directions, jumping or shouting or crying.Apparently, they have long been tortured by this hellish city and lost their vitality. Now, surrendering is nothing but the greatest relief for them.

"Dajin Tianconghan made an oath: Never massacre the city, never massacre the city!..."

"Open the city gate, Zushuai has surrendered to Tiancong Khan of the Great Jin Kingdom! Open the city gate quickly, we have surrendered!..."

Liu Tianlu ordered the guards to open the gate. After a brief hesitation, the guards carried out the order without hesitation, and quickly stripped away the stones behind the city gate. With the sound of "creaking", the east city of Daling River was slowly opened.

After the city gate was opened, Zu Zerun and Han Daxun led dozens of soldiers to escort He Kegang, who was tied up, out of the city.

On the opposite side, Jin Ying heard the movement and rushed to report to Huang Taiji. When Huang Taiji heard it, he knew that Zu Dashou was about to surrender, but in order to prevent Zu Dashou from falsely surrendering, he took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Eight Banners to break through, and Huang Taiji asked Ji Erhalang to lead Zhenglan The flag was on alert, and if something was wrong, he immediately waved his troops and killed him.

As the horn sounded, the Golden Army of the Zhenghuang, Xianghuang, and Zhengbai Banners each dispatched several Niulu cavalrymen to slowly press down to the city gate and stop at a distance of about [-] steps from the city gate.Afterwards, a golden dragon chariot was seen slowly coming out of the golden army camp, with hundreds of Eight Banners guarding both sides.

The banners are flying, the swords and guns are standing everywhere, the horses are neighing and the wind is whistling, and they are majestic.

Under the chariot, Huang Taiji stood on the horse, pointing to the city gate with the people around and chatting happily, with an indescribable joy in his eyebrows.He had waited too long for this day.

...............

After being escorted out of the city, He Kegang remained silent and even had a smile on his face. He didn't struggle, let alone roar, but silently knelt down and kowtowed three times towards the south, and then knelt motionless. There, he lowered his head slowly, exposing his neck.

When the knife and ax hand raised the sword, everyone breathed calmly, and there was silence on the huge battlefield. Whether it was the Ming army inside the city or the Jin soldiers outside the city, everyone's eyes fell on He Kegang who was under the sword.

I don't know why, but the big knife of the swordsman has not been able to fall for a long time.

Zu Zerun was afraid that Dajin Tiancong Khan, who was on the opposite side, would get impatient and cause some mishaps in the matter of surrender, so he roared impatiently: "Cut!"

The body of the axeman trembled, and in an instant, the sword fell heavily.

Puff!

The blood splashed, and the blue sky changed color.

"General He, I will be your companion at the end of Huangquan Road!"

"Brothers, take a step first, and kill the Tartars in the next life!"

"The ancestor is handsome and betrays the country, but we want to be loyal to the emperor!"

"..."

On the city wall, dozens of Ming soldiers suddenly jumped into the city, and under the city gate, dozens of soldiers drew their swords and killed themselves under the leadership of two Qian Zong. [

Blood spattered the gate of the city red, but it was those Ming soldiers who vowed not to surrender committed suicide.

Not everyone in the city wanted to die. Except for the soldiers who followed He Kegang, most people agreed with the surrender, and were even a little excited.

This cannot be blamed on them, let alone be harsh on them, because no one wants to live by cannibalism, and surrender may not be a relief.At least, they no longer have to worry about being suddenly killed and eaten by others.

The soldiers are all human beings, real people, they don't have much literacy, they don't know so many righteousness of saints, they just know how to live.Because only by living can we know that life is so precious.

The reason for being a soldier is to be able to eat enough and survive. If Zu Shuai does not surrender, they will become food in the stomachs of others.This kind of death is really terrible, so they feel that surrendering is something that makes people happier, and it makes people happier than marrying a wife.

They can survive!

It is better to be a cow and a horse than to be dead.

When the dust settles, it's all over.

...............

After Zu Dashou surrendered, he sent Zu Zerun, Liu Tianlu, and Zhang Cunren to Jinying. Huang Taiji greeted him personally, and the three knelt down and worshiped from afar.

Huang Taiji dismounted in a hurry, stepped forward to help each of them, smiled and said to the three of them: "How can this happen, please get up quickly." He insisted on meeting the three of them with a hug.

Zu Zerun, Liu Tianlu, and Zhang Cunren lived in Liaodong for a long time, so they naturally knew the dignity of Jurchen hugging the waist and felt warm. I dare not enjoy this great gift.”

But Huang Taiji said: "You are a guest now, and you will be a minister in the future. When the distinguished guest comes, you should greet him with courtesy." Then he insisted on hugging each other.

Zu Zerun sighed in his heart: "Dignified and profuse, with such a respectful and virtuous corporal, is there any reason why people in the world are not willing to join him?"

At that moment, the three of them hugged their waists together with Huang Taiji.After the ceremony, Huang Taiji took Zu Zerun with his left hand, Zhang Cunren with his right hand, and Dai Shan took Liu Tianlu's hand, and they went to the big tent together.

A feast had already been set up in the tent, and it was full of Mongolian and Han generals and school officials. When they saw Huang Taiji coming in, they all got up to pay respects. Chief.

When the four of them were seated, Huang Taiji held up the wine glass with his own hands, and said with a smile on his face: "It's not a respect to prepare some thin wine, it's just to appease the four generals, four generals please!"

Liu Tianlu didn't expect Huang Taiji to be so approachable, he was touched and said: "I've heard about King Khan's benevolence for a long time, and I saw him today. It's true. Our hatred came back very late. It's only because the soldiers in the city are worried about slaughter that it's postponed to this day."

Huang Taiji heard the voice of his words, and said with a smile: "It seems that you still have doubts, how about this, the four generals must know that my Jurchen has always respected the sky and feared the gods. And all Baylor would like to swear an oath with Zu Zongbing and the soldiers in the city. After the soldiers in the city surrender, their original official positions will not change. Those who want to serve as soldiers will continue to serve as soldiers, and those who don’t want to be soldiers can be registered as civilian households. There is a little bit of damage. If you break the oath, you will be killed in the sky."

When the four of them heard this, they all let go of their hearts and knelt down on the table: "King Khan treats my defeated general like this, which is rare in ancient times. We also swear on behalf of the ancestors and the soldiers in the city that we all sincerely submit to him." , if you have two intentions, you will be punished by heaven!"

Huang Taiji hurriedly asked the four of them to get up again, and solemnly said: "The oath is extraordinary, after the Zu Zongbing arrives, Ben Khan and Da Beilor will lead all the Baylors and Zu Zongbing to the altar to worship the heavens!"

After getting the real news, Zu Dashou immediately led his generals to Jinying.The gate of the Jinying camp was opened wide, the salute was fired three times, and the drums and music were played together. A red carpet was really spread from the camp gate to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Huang Taiji and Dai Shan were in front, and Jierhalang and all the ministers of Baylor were behind, grandly welcoming Zu Dashou and his party together.Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, and Zu Dashou met each other with a waist hug ceremony, and then both of them immediately went to the altar to worship the heavens to show their sincerity.

After the oath and sacrifice to heaven, Huang Taiji brought Zu Dashou into the big tent and held a banquet to celebrate Zu Dashou.There were more than forty tables in the big tent, crowded with more than two hundred people.There are four large braziers at the four corners. Although the temperature outside has cooled down, the tent is full of spring.Although there are delicacies from mountains and seas on the table, there are big pieces of meat and big bowls of wine, as well as crispy white pears.The newly descended generals walked out of the hell of Daling River, as if they had entered heaven all of a sudden.

During the banquet, Huang Taiji praised Zu Dashou to the fullest, saying: "Three armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. Today, the ancestor's general army is returned to gold, and I am very pleased to have won the three armies."

Zu Dashou hurriedly got up and said: "How can I be so good, I am so favored by the King of Khan. From now on, I will do my best to repay the King of Khan."

Huang Taiji nodded with a smile and said: "Although Amin did the Yongping massacre, Ben Khan is also to blame. Ben Khan's fault lies in the improper employment of people, so that he broke the trust of the world. Otherwise, there will never be people eating people in Daling River." This Khan is guilty of the tragedy of people." After speaking, he actually burst into tears, as if he really blamed himself for the tragedy that happened in Dalinghe City.

When Zu Dashou and others saw that Huang Taiji suddenly blamed themselves, they couldn't help being terrified, and they knelt down at the table together: "Why did we deceive the Chinese army and wrongly blame King Khan? Our fault lies with us."

Huang Taiji said disapprovingly: "He Kegang is a mediocre person who is ignorant of current affairs. He is responsible for his own ambitions, but he only takes looting as his right. There are nearly one million soldiers. This Khan followed the teachings of the former Khan and regarded the Ming as a big tree. It should be sawed with one ax and one ax. If more than half of it is knocked down, the big tree will fall. Now there are less than half of the khan, and the time to destroy the Ming is not yet ripe. It is not appropriate. If you take it, you will suffer disaster. The purpose of looting the treasury of Ming Dynasty is to enrich me.

Only a rich country can strengthen its military, and those who use military force indiscriminately if the country is not rich are militaristic.If the army is aggressive, the people will have resentment, and long-term resentment will lead to disaster.Our Dajin treasury is full, and our troops are strong and horses are strong, so we can compete with the Southern Dynasties. How can Chongzhen idiots be the opponent of this Khan?Ben Khan takes advantage of the chaos to take it, and it will get twice the result with half the effort. "

Hearing what he said, Zu Dashou was amazed, and thought to himself: No wonder I can't beat him, Huang Taiji is so talented, it is really rare to know the master.

Huang Taiji was very happy today. Following the pacification of North Korea, the Mongol alliance, the capital city, Yuan Chonghuan was removed, Zhang Chun was captured, Zu Dashou was surrendered, and Amin was defeated. One victory after another, his prestige was truly in full swing. He continued:

"You all know that my Dajin is good at fighting, but I don't know that my Dajin also respects Confucianism and literature. Xian Khan built a Confucian Temple when he was in Hetuala. Xian Khan taught Ben Khan very strictly about studying. Therefore, Ben Khan was able to pass. Read the classics. I remember Mencius once said, "The king regards his ministers as brothers and feet, and the ministers regard him as his heart; the king regards his ministers as dogs and horses, and the ministers regard him as a countryman; "If you return to gold, you are all brothers of Ben Khan.

Chongzhen treated the frontier generals cruelly, regarded them as worthless, did not know how to provide compensation, and could only severely punish them.Don't you know that from ancient times to the present, there has never been a general who has always won.Ben Khan also suffered the defeat of Jinning. Who among the generals of the Great Jin Kingdom has never been defeated?Just yesterday, he was almost defeated by Zhang Chun.However, defeat is not terrible. What is important is to find out the reason for the defeat in the defeat, and how to be undefeated in the future. This is the best policy.But Chongzhen often killed the defeated generals, who would dare to lead troops in the future?If this continues, the Ming Kingdom will surely be usable.

Furthermore, the courtiers were really guilty, so torture should not have been done. Yuan Dutang was cut alive, cruel and vicious, Ben Khan was palpitated after hearing this, such brutality made the world feel chilled.Ben Khan told Zhang Jianjun that Zhang Chun once said that Chongzhen is a fool, he is headstrong, arbitrary, arrogant, and unsympathetic.It looks wise on the surface, but in fact it is cruel, Ben Khan should be a warning.I hope that all of you can sincerely work together with Ben Khan to achieve a great cause. In the future, you will decide the Central Plains, and you will all be the founding heroes of the Great Jin Kingdom. "

Huang Taiji's words moved everyone, and Zu Dashou was even more excited: "Your servant is lucky to meet the Ming Lord, and from now on, I am willing to serve Dajin with all my heart!"

Huang Taiji said with a smile: "Zong Zongbing Zu returned to gold today, what should I teach me?"

On the spur of the moment, Zu Dashou said immediately: "King Khan wants to calm down the world, why not take Jinzhou first, and then go down to Ningyuan and go straight to Shanhaiguan."

"Jinzhou City is extremely strong, and the casualties will be heavy if you attack it. This Khan can't bear to do it." Huang Taiji had no intention of attacking Jinzhou City. He really suffered a great loss from Zhao Shuijiao when he was in Jinzhou City. In the First World War, troops were lost and generals were lost, and the Eight Banners suffered too many casualties. If they went to attack Jinzhou again, they might not be able to do so much.

Zu Dashou had long decided to present Jinzhou to Huang Taiji as a meeting gift, and immediately said: "You can pretend to be defeated, sneak into Jinzhou, and open the city gate together with the old department. Just as King Khan said just now, you can get twice the result with half the effort." , as easy as flipping the palm of your hand."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager was overjoyed: "If Jinzhou can really be captured, the Zu Zongbing will have made great contributions to Dajin. This matter should not be slowed down. If it is slowed down, it will be vented. It is better to escape at night, and Ben Khan will send troops to chase after him. Coupled with cannons and dressed more like, it will be a success."

Zu Dashou immediately stood up: "I return to Jinmeng Khan Wang Zhiyu. I should present it in Jinzhou to show my sincerity. I will leave now!"
