Thanks to the three social sages "My Name is Gu Ritian, Little Overlord Farewell Chicken, and Tokyo is Too Hot" for their support of the book "Fighting the Qing"!
There is nothing to repay, just a chance to sleep together another day.
In addition, the opening of a new book is the same as the opening of a new store. I also ask all knowledgeable people to support me, give me a small reward, vote for a monthly ticket, collect it, comment on it, etc.
You don’t have to worry about the neighbors wondering why this store is open but there’s no one to give you flowers.
.......
Suo Yanlong actually wants to surrender to the Qing Dynasty!
Not only Wang Wu was startled, but all the generals in the hall were also shocked and in disbelief.
Just because Suo Yanlong is the number one general under Liu Shuai, and Liu Shuai trusts him unconditionally, otherwise it would be impossible for Suo Yanlong to hand over the last old foundation to him this time, but he doesn't want to lock Suo Yanlong at this critical moment. Yanlong was dissatisfied and wanted all the generals to surrender to the Qing Dynasty with him regardless of Liu Shuai's life or death!
Except for a few people, the others were shocked by Suo Yanlong's words and were extremely shocked.
Wang Wu didn't know what others were thinking. The only thing that came to his mind repeatedly was the classic line - "I didn't expect that you, a thick-browed man with big eyes, would betray the revolution!"
Suo Yanlong is just like Zhu Shimao with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
He has a burly figure and an upright face, which makes people look up to him and makes him feel like a first-class good man.
This made Wang Wu couldn't help but laugh at himself. He originally thought that the first person to be surrendered would be Tian Shouyi, who had a not so innocent background. He was even worried that Tian Shouyi would let him lead his troops to kill Suo Yanlong. He was still entangled with this, but he didn't think so in the end. It was Suo Yanlong, a man with a strong foundation, who had the idea of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty.
It seems that people cannot be judged by their appearance.
There was silence in the hall at this time, except for the lantern on the beam that rose and fell, causing the light in the hall to dim and brighten accordingly.
Wang Wu remained calm and maintained a unique silence.
Deep down inside, it was rare for me to relax.
If Lao Mukong really breaks out, as Suo Yanlong said, it will be too late to rescue him at this time. And once Lao Mukong is lost, their thousands of Ming troops in Wujiayuanzi will ask the Qing army to cut off their retreat and completely surround them. There is no possibility of even breaking out.
Therefore, surrendering at this time is difficult to accept emotionally, but it is the most rational choice.
Otherwise, the only outcome will be annihilation of the entire army.
No matter how much knowledge he has, Wang Wuzong is just a mortal flesh here and now, and he can move mountains and fill seas to show his great power and turn hundreds of thousands of Qing troops into chaos!
As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood.
Although he did not expect that Suo Yanlong was the first to propose surrender, in any case, this result was in line with psychological expectations.
Wang Wu just let it go.
While the generals in the hall looked at each other, they could not help but fiddle with their little abacus beads in their hearts.
It is nothing more than a psychological struggle between surrendering and not surrendering.
Suo Yanlong also knew that Zhujiang would need time to digest Jiang Qing's proposal, so he didn't say much, looked at Tian Shouyi and sat down on his own.
Obviously, he had reached a consensus with Tian Shouyi on this matter.
After Suo Yanlong sat down, Tian Shouyi coughed lightly and said to everyone: "There is no other way for Suo Zhen to make this plan. However, whether it is Suo Zhen or Tian, we must make it clear to everyone here that it is absolutely necessary." We don’t force it, those who are willing to return to the Qing Dynasty with us will come home, and we won’t make it difficult for those who don’t want to. It’s easy for everyone to get together and part ways, after all, we have been brothers for so many years.”
This was said very sincerely, and the implication could not be more clear, that is, surrender is based on the principle of voluntariness.
Wang Wu was impressed. With the premise of voluntariness, the obstacles to surrender can be minimized, and the hostility of generals who are unwilling to surrender can be reduced, thereby avoiding an internal conflict.
It's a clever way.
After hearing this, the generals had different expressions. Some showed approval, some remained silent, some looked confused, and some were frightened and didn't know what to do.
For a while, no one spoke up.
After about dozens of breaths, someone spoke.
"I heard from Suo Zhen that we really can't continue this war. No matter if we surrender, we can always give our brothers a way to survive and leave some seeds for us."
The person who said this was Hu Jungui, another official in the hall.
In his early years, he served as a guerrilla under the governor of Huguang, He Tengjiao, and he and Hao Yaoqi kidnapped Emperor Yongli. Because of this incident, he was always discriminated against by the Yongli court and had to retreat to Jingxiang with Hao Yaoqi.
After Hao Yaoqi was defeated by the Qing army last year, Hu Jungui led hundreds of remnants to circle in the mountains. He was recruited by Suo Yanlong a few days ago.
Although Hu Jungui only has a few hundred people under his command, he is a general of the Hao family and the general soldier of the Han Dynasty. He is one of the "three giants" of Wu Jiayuanzi's Ming army, so his words still carry a certain weight.
At least, Hu Jungui has expressed his stance, and the hundreds of people under his command will not cause trouble.
Tian Shouyi was waiting for Hu Jungui's words, and he struck while the iron was hot: "In this situation, there is no point in holding on any longer. Uncle Feng asked someone to give us a message, saying that as long as we surrender, Admiral Zhao will protect us. "
The "Uncle Feng" mentioned by Tian Shou refers to Feng Qifeng, the chief military officer of Yuan Zongdi, the Duke of Jingguo, who surrendered to the Qing army in the first month of last year.
Admiral Zhao refers to the Qing Sichuan Admiral Zheng Jiaolin, the former enemy commander-in-chief on the western front of the Qing encirclement. This man was a Qing soldier who surrendered with Hong Chengchou in Songshan in his early years.
Feng Qifeng was now responsible for persuading surrender under Zheng Jiaolin. He wrote letters persuading surrender to many Ming generals, and the effect was remarkable. The chief generals of the Han Dynasty, Ma Jinyu, Wu Ziqiang and others, were the Qing soldiers who were bewitched by him and led their tribes to surrender.
Upon hearing that Uncle Feng would definitely be able to protect them, all the Ming army generals in the hall were moved, and most of them were inclined to surrender.
The remaining few people either remained silent or had complicated expressions on their faces, and no one objected fiercely.
It seems that pessimism about the situation has basically enveloped the entire Ming army.
Just leave it at that.
Wang Wu sighed secretly, and reached out to touch his forehead with some sadness. It would be clear tomorrow, and he would have to shave his head bald, leaving a rat tail that could only pass through copper coins.
However, what everyone present did not expect was that Lieutenant General Yu Guohua suddenly stepped forward, pointed angrily at Suo Yanlong who was sitting behind the desk and said: "Suo Zhen, Liu Shuai treats you with great kindness, how dare you Turn your back on him and become a dog for the Tartars!”
This angry shout made Suo Yanlong shocked and angry, but also a little embarrassed and angry, and even more surprised, because this Yu Guohua was his man!
Tian Shouyi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward to grab Yu Guohua and said: "Brother Yu, what are you talking about? What do you mean by being a dog for the Tatars? The reason why my colleague Suo Zhen wants to take everyone back to the Qing Dynasty is because he really doesn't want to Thousands of brothers died in vain in these mountains and forests!"
"fart!"
Yu Guohua was so excited that he pushed Tian Shouyi away and said angrily: "Suozhen is loyal to Liu Shuai, how can he sit back and watch Liu Shuai in trouble without saving him? I see it is clearly your fault, Tian Shouyi!"
As he spoke, he was about to draw his sword to kill Tian Shouyi, but Tian Shouyi was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back.
As soon as Yu Changdao was unsheathed, he saw Suo Yanlong who was sitting there slamming the table, stood up with a bang, pointed at Yu Guohua and said: "It has nothing to do with Mr. Tian, the matter of Gui Qing is ours." The town’s idea!”
"Lock the town!"
Yu Guohua was stunned, and the long knife in his hand was stuck, with a look of pain and confusion on his face, "Why did Suo Zhen surrender to the Tatars?"
"Surrender! How long will it take if we don't surrender? Do we have to wait until everyone is dead before we surrender!"
Suo Yanlong also had a look of pain on his face, and his expression was extremely complicated, but his eyes were firm.
Yu Guohua felt miserable and turned to look at the generals with a look of sorrow and anger: "Are you all going to surrender?"
Wherever they looked, the generals either subconsciously avoided it or lowered their heads in silence. No one answered Yu Zhi's question.
Even Wang Wu turned his face away in shame, not daring to look at Yu.
"Down, down, down!"
Seeing that no one dared to answer him, and no one stood on his side, Yu Guohua became desperate and threw the long knife in his hand to the ground with a bang. He was so sad that he almost roared: "Eighteen years have passed and we are here. I have persisted for eighteen years! If we surrender today, what have we been planning for these eighteen years?"
This roar was moving and struck deep in the hearts of the generals in the hall, but still no one dared to respond.
Wang Wu also felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his feet moved slightly, but in the end he did not take that step.
Seeing that Yu Guohua abandoned his long sword, Tian Shouyi felt a little calmer. He was worried that if Yu said too much here, he would sway the generals to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, so he stepped forward to persuade him: "Brother Yu, don't do this. There is really no other way to go, but there is , Suo Zhen and Tian will never take this path..."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Guohua interrupted him angrily, staring at him: "Are you worthy of Liu Shuai, worthy of the emperor, and worthy of Ming Dynasty?"
"this..."
Tian Shouyi was so stunned by Yu Guohua's glare that he instinctively stepped back.
Suddenly a force came from behind and pulled him aside, but Suo Yanlong came over from behind the desk, then raised his right hand and slapped Yu Guohua in the face, cursing: "The emperor is gone! The court is gone. !...The Ming Dynasty is dead, why should we persist! Wake up, it’s over, it’s all over!”
The force was so strong that Yu Guohua staggered and almost fell down.
"It's dead, the Ming Dynasty is dead, everything is over..."
Yu Guohua did not reach out to cover the left side of his face which was red from being slapped. Instead, with tears streaming down his face, he faced Suo Yanlong, who had been following him for many years, and said, "Suozhen, is it really that our persistence in the past eighteen years is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty? Emperor?"
Suo Yanlong frowned and didn't want to answer this question.
Hu Jungui, another seal-hanging general on the side, thought for a while and stepped forward to support Yu Guohua: "If brother Yu is unwilling to return to the Qing Dynasty with us, you can take people away. Suo Zhen made it clear that we will never force this matter."
After hearing this, Yu Guohua looked around at the crowd, and finally cast his gaze on Suo Yanlong's face, which was ashen-faced. He raised his hands and clasped his fists, turned around and walked out resolutely.
He, Yu Guohua, will never be a dog to the Tatars in his life!
But just after taking a few steps, he felt a huge pain in his back, and then a sharp blade burst out from his belly, and blood continued to drip from the tip of the blade to the ground.
This scene made everyone change their minds.
"Well..."
After looking down at the sharp blade coming out of his belly, Yu Guohua knew what had happened. He reluctantly wanted to turn around to see who the murderer was, but the other party instantly drew the knife and then stabbed Yu's back fiercely.
One sword, two swords, three swords...
With a "plop" sound, Yu Guohua's body fell heavily to the ground. Blood spurted out from the front and back of his body, and his organs continued to spill out along the knife edge. The intestines seemed to be squeezed out, making people feel numb just looking at them.
The hall was filled with blood and blood, and no matter how strong the wind or snow was, it could not be dispersed.
Until he breathed his last breath, Yu Guohua didn't know who killed him.
Wang Wu could see clearly that it was Suo Yanlong!
