Daming wolf ride

The Sanguan Temple was originally the only temple built by the Ming people in Shenyang City. When the Jin people entered the city, it was burned down because of many believers in shamans. Later, with the development of the power of the Jin Dynasty, gradually the banner people and nobles believed in Buddhism.In the second year of Tiancong, Hong Tai ordered to rebuild the temple on the original site of Sanguan Temple, and asked a Mongolian monk to preside over it. More than a hundred monks who were taken captive from the Ming Dynasty were placed in the temple.

Most of the shamanism believed in Manchuria is witchcraft. Mrs. Hong hated it very much. After succeeding to the throne as Khan, she cracked down more. As a result, the influence of shamanism in Manzhou was not as good as before, and it was replaced by the prosperity of Buddhism. Among them, Tibetan Buddhism is the most popular. The state is happy.However, the Han people with the largest population still firmly believe in Buddhism. Years of wars have made the Han people who have been reduced to slaves empty of faith. The only temple in Shenyang City became more and more popular.

In the past few days, the Sanguan Temple, which was originally full of incense, has become quiet, and there are not a few believers offering incense and worshiping Buddha even after a day.The Mongolian monk who was in charge knew that the reason why the believers did not come to offer incense was that the Ming army had come outside the city, so he didn't curse anything, but went back to his room and continued to drink his strong wine. After drinking, he covered his head and died. sleep.For a foreigner like him, it doesn't matter if he is a wise person or a golden person, as long as they believe in Buddhism, he can continue to be a great monk. People are willing to spend money to ask him to do things?

Compared with this great Mongolian monk, the Han monks in the temple were much more worried. After eating the fast meal early, they went into the hall to recite the scriptures in unison under the leadership of two senior monks, in order to pray for the blessing of the Buddha. The swords of soldiers will not cut their necks.

In the backyard of the temple, there was also an old man who was reading a scripture book in his hand, but he just read it without reading it aloud.Through the light from the door, one can vaguely see that the hair of the old man has turned white. What makes people strange is that this old man is not dressed in Manchurian clothes, but in the clothes of Ming people, and his head is wrapped with a net scarf that is also unique to Ming people.

The old man just looked at the scriptures in his hand without moving for a long time, then raised his head slightly, but lowered his head in an instant, turning a blind eye to the things around him.This made the man who had been sitting on the right side of the room a little bitter and anxious, but he didn't dare to interrupt the old man's reading. He just sat there respectfully and waited, but from time to time he glanced out of the courtyard.

The courtyard was originally a miscellaneous room where the monks stored firewood. After cleaning it, it was used for the elderly to live temporarily. Perhaps knowing the old man's "nature", the monks brought some flowers and plants, which made the courtyard look a little more lively.It's just that in this cold weather, the flowers and plants have withered long ago, and the dead branches and leaves are all over the courtyard, so there is no vitality at all.

Time passed by every minute, and finally, after confirming that the guards outside hadn't come, the man finally stood up, walked gently to the old man, and said in a low voice: "Don't you really want to wait for me to repent? road?"

This old man was none other than Zhang Chun, the Shaoqing of the Taipu Temple and Zhang Chun, who led the army to aid Dalinghe and was captured after being defeated in the battle.In order to attract people's hearts and gain a good reputation, Mrs. Hong did not execute Zhang Chun, but arranged him in the Sanguan Temple, imagining that one day this loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty would change his mind and kneel before him.However, contrary to expectations, Zhang Chun always wore Hanfu during his detention, did not shave his head, insisted on the clothes of the Ming Dynasty, adhered to the integrity of Ming officials, and would rather die than surrender gold. This made Mrs. Hong hate and admire, and she simply made up her mind Just lock him up in Sanguan Temple until he dies, and see if the old man surrenders or not. [

If Shi Dayong was present, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this person is Zu Dashou's lieutenant general Liu Tianlu.Although Mrs. Hong did not allow Zhang Chun to step out of the Sanguan Temple, she allowed the Han people to come down to see him, thinking that these Han officials could help persuade them to surrender, but there was no good news except being scolded again and again. send back.

Hearing what Liu Tianlu said, Zhang Chun put down the scriptures in his hand, slowly raised his head and pretended to be strange: "It's strange, but I don't know how the old man can give you a way to repent?"

Liu Tianlu smiled wryly and said: "My lord, don't ask why you know it. The last general followed the ancestors to surrender gold. It's really naive. The city of Daling River has long been living on killing people, and my lord was defeated on the bank of Xiaoling River. This is a domestic food and foreign reinforcements. , the final general can’t think of what else to do other than surrender with Zu Shuai that day?”

Hearing this, Zhang Chun said with an angry face: "Why not! I will repay my father by death!"

"I can say it but I can't do it." Liu Tianlu sighed, "No one in this world is hesitant to die, but there is a way to survive, so how can we choose the way to die." He was telling the truth. Woolen cloth.

"How can He Kegang die calmly?" Thinking of He Kegang's death, Zhang Chun felt a burst of pain and closed his eyes in pain.

"Ugh"

When Zhang Chun mentioned He Kegang, Liu Tianlu spoke the same words. After a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of Zhang Chun, pleading: "As long as the boss says a word, I will be able to live. Please see that I am also loyal to Daming." For the sake of the last, please come down!"

Zhang Chun slowly opened his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "This old man defeated Da Linghe, buried several great Ming sons, and now he is captured by slaves. In the eyes of the court, I am afraid that he is no better than you. You can ask this old man , who is the old man begging for?"

Hearing that Zhang Chun's tone was a bit soft, Liu Tianlu was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "The emperor was captured only after he knew that the man would not surrender in a human battle. The final general heard that the emperor never blamed the lord, and instead expressed several times that he wanted to redeem the lord." This shows that His Majesty trusts Your Majesty, and will continue to use His Majesty in the future, so as long as Your Majesty is willing to speak for me, His Majesty will be lenient to me."

After listening, Zhang Chun sighed softly after a long time: "Forget it, since you are willing to repent, the old man will not end his life, but" he said hesitantly, staring at Liu Tianlu very much Worryingly asked: "Can you really open the city gate and let my army enter the city?"

In the cold wind, Zhang Cunren, the former deputy general of the Liaodong Army, looked at the Hun River in the distance with a complex expression on the head of Xiaonanmen City. In the night, he could vaguely see countless bonfires on the south bank.How similar is this scene at this moment? Didn't he also see such a similar scene at the top of Daling River back then?

I don't know how long he watched, Zhang Cunrenfang looked away, shook his head with a wry smile, very lonely and wanted to go down to the city, but saw two soldiers walking over with lanterns not far away, and the one walking behind was his. An old acquaintance, Cao Gongcheng, former general of the Liaodong Army, is also the guard of this small south gate, with a battalion of soldiers under his command.

After seeing Zhang Cunren, Cao Gongcheng waved his hand to signal his soldiers to step aside, then walked to Zhang Cunren, first looked at the Ming army camp on the south bank of the Hun River for a while, then turned around and said to Zhang Cunren: "Brother Zhang, Mang Gurtai You must have seen the things that "shot" in, right?"[

"However, how many people will believe Mang Gurtai's slander against King Khan? No matter how many shots he makes, it doesn't matter. If you want to take down Shenyang City, you have to use real swords and guns. These hypocrites are just trying to provoke It's just ridiculed." Zhang Cunren didn't know why Cao Gongcheng came to the city late at night, and why he asked about the enemy's call to arms, so he looked at him suspiciously.

Seeing Zhang Cunren's doubts, Cao Gongcheng looked around, and Fang whispered: "Look at the situation, the Ming army will attack the city tomorrow, right now it's just you and me here, but I don't know what brother Zhang is planning?"

"Plan?" Zhang Cunren was stunned for a moment, and said, "The day Zu Shuai brought us down to gold, we had no way of turning back, and we could only live and die with this Shenyang city."

However, Cao Gongcheng shook his head and said: "That's not the case. Isn't there nothing we can do to surrender the gold that day? We are also considered loyal to Daming to the end. There is really no way to surrender. If we can repent and return to Daming , the imperial court may not necessarily blame us, maybe it will continue to reuse us."

"Why do you think so?"

Zhang Cunren was taken aback, he didn't expect Cao Gongcheng to say such a thing to him, one must know that Cao Gongcheng usually fawns over the powerful people of the Eight Banners, so Daishan valued him and appointed him to be the guard of the south gate.I thought that this person was a hardcore and golden man who had gone to the end, but I didn't expect that he would actually have the idea of ​​rejoining Ming Dynasty, which was really beyond Zhang Cunren's expectations.

Ever since he heard that the Ming army came across the sea, fought all the way to Liaoyang, and headed straight to Shenyang, Zhang Cunren knew that there must be someone in the surrender who had other ideas, but he really didn't expect Cao Gongcheng to be one of them.During the day, he saw Cao Gongcheng swear in front of Sun Degong and Zu Zerun that he would stick to the south gate. It took only a few hours for "to stick to the south gate" to "return to Ming Dynasty". The contrast was huge. Zhang Cunren couldn't help but be so surprised.

Cao Gongcheng didn't pay attention to Zhang Cunren's astonishment, but asked instead: "You and I are both leaders of the army. Whether this Shenyang City can be defended or not, you and I know it well. Does Brother Zhang really want to live and die with Shenyang City?"

"This"

Zhang Cunren didn't know whether Cao Gongcheng was trying to test him or he really wanted to do it anyway, so he didn't dare to express his opinion easily. After a few squeaks, he said with a wry smile: "Even if we do anyway, the imperial court will not let us go. If nothing else, He Shuai's death , the court will always question the crime, right?"

"He Shuai was murdered by Zu Zerun and Zu Dacheng's uncle and nephew, what does it have to do with us?" Cao Gongcheng's voice was very sure, as if he did not participate in the killing of He Kegang that day.Cao Gongcheng's denial left Zhang Cunren speechless.

"Brother Zhang, you actually didn't want to surrender gold that day. Although you never revealed it, but brother and you have worked together for so many years, how can you not know what you think? This Shenyang city can't be defended anyway, we don't Oppose to Daming, I am afraid that after the city is broken, you and I will be killed! To tell you the truth, brother Zhang, I have made up my mind to go all out and do it, brother Zhang, would you like to be with me, please let me know."

Obviously, Cao Gongcheng didn't want to talk too much nonsense with Zhang Cunren, so he directly made his attitude clear. At the same time as he made his attitude clear, the two soldiers of Cao Gongcheng quietly surrounded Zhang Cunren, one left and one right. All pressed on the handle.

Seeing this, Zhang Cunren knew that Cao Gongcheng was not trying to test himself, he really wanted to go anyway, if he didn't agree to be with Cao Gongcheng, he might become a ghost under the sword immediately.

"Who else is involved in this matter?"

Zhang Cunren had long wanted to turn against Daming, but because his soldiers could not control a city gate, he could not make a move.But now Cao Gongcheng also thought anyway, he naturally would not hesitate anymore, and immediately wanted to know who else was involved in this matter.After all, Shenyang City is still in the hands of the Jin Army. If there are too many people involved or are unreliable, then things may leak, and they will be buried at that time.

"In addition to General Liu, no one else is involved in this matter." Cao Gongcheng did not hide anything from Zhang Cunren.

"Liu Tianlu?"

Hearing that Liu Tianlu wanted to do anything anyway, Zhang Cunren immediately felt relieved. What Cao Gongcheng said next made him even more delighted. He told Zhang Cunren that Liu Tianlu had already gone to Sanguan Temple to contact the imprisoned Zhang Chun. As long as Zhang Chun was willing to participate, they would not have to worry. The imperial court will investigate their former crimes afterwards.At that moment, the two of them were discussing the details anyway, and after finalizing everything, they will wait for tomorrow.Just in case, the two of them didn't even go down the city wall, and slept in the gatehouse at the top of the city that night.
