Episode 25: Cousin and cousin

The fourteenth princess, Guangwu, Guangwu's wife and children, Yonggui, as well as all the commando team members, including the wounded and the bodies, took off from the lake in the dark, leaving the raging fire and dead bodies behind, and left far away in the darkness.

On the roaring plane, everyone leaned against the bulkhead and let out a long breath. The commandos held weapons and closed their eyes, allowing sweat and blood to remain from their foreheads, as if they were exhausted.

On a plane, the Fourteenth Princess and Guangwu were sitting opposite each other, staring at each other face to face, and no one spoke. Guangwu's wife and children snuggled beside him, sobbing quietly. Several of the most capable commandos sat on both sides, holding weapons, staring at them, and occasionally communicating their eyes with each other. The Fourteenth Princess and Guangwu's deep hatred was known to everyone, but now they were sitting face to face. Several commandos were also infected by this dramatic scene, and no one spoke.

As for Yonggui and the two Soviet spy leaders, they were placed in another plane. One plane could not carry too many prisoners, otherwise something would be easy to get into.

Guangwu seemed to have noticed that the fourteenth princess's eyes were not good. He finally spoke and said powerlessly:

"Xian Wu... You hate me very much, I know. Regardless of whether you betrayed the Qing Dynasty or not, I killed your whole family, this is true... By the way, if I didn't do that at that time, you wouldn't betray the Qing Dynasty. This... I understand too."

As soon as Guangwu spoke, the people on the plane stared at him, including Guangwu's wife and children, also stopped crying, and looked at Guangwu with their heads raised. Then, they looked at the fourteenth princess in fear.

The Fourteenth Princess heard that Guangwu's two sentences meant to resolve hatred.

She stared at Guangwu and said coldly:

"What do you want to say."

Guangwu looked at her and said slowly:

"I ask you—the revenge is on me alone, don't torture my family. Please let go... let my son go."

Everyone looked at the Fourteenth Princess again. Guangwu's wife and children also stared at the tears of fear, looking at the Fourteenth Princess. The imperial concubine Uya hugged her son tighter, as if it was the moment of farewell to death at any time.

The fourteenth princess glanced at them, and after a moment, he looked at Guangwu again and sneered:

"Do you think they are all the same as you?"

Guangwu nodded and said:

"Thank you."

Uya immediately reacted, pushed her youngest son forward, and ordered in a trembling crying voice:

"Hurry, thank you cousin! Kneel down!"

As he said that, he knelt down on the plane cabin board and kowtowed three times to the Fourteenth Princess. Then he pulled his son and asked him to kowtowed three times to the Fourteenth Princess.

The commandos full of planes stared at the fourteenth princess, some stared at the Uya mother and son, and some stared at Guangwu. No one was talking, and they were all scrambling to witness this good show that could be written into historical books.

The fourteenth princess sat motionless, closed her eyes and rested, and suffered all the six sounds.

After a while, she opened her eyes and sighed:

"Oh. Get up."

Uya did not dare to get up, but still knelt down on the ground and cried to the fourteenth princess:

"Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness... We, my mother and my son, never dare to forget the great kindness of His Highness, for the rest of our lives... We, my mother and my son, come to you every year... and kowtow to your grave to worship... and kowtow to your tomb above and below Prince Su's mansion..."

"Uh-huh."

Seeing that the fourteenth princess was resting there with his eyes closed slightly, Uya carefully pulled his son up, and the mother and son cried with Guangwu again.

...

When several seaplanes landed on the Taurebao Lake, the entire Taurebao Lake training base was boiling. A dozen large searchlights and mercury lights were set up along the lakeside, illuminating half of the lake like daytime. When several large planes glide on it, the waves stirred up in the lights, like festival fireworks. The soldiers of the People's Guard garrisoned by the lake waved their guns and made a terrifying cheer.

Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zhu Yourong stood side by side on the seaplane dock, with Qiu Qiu, Xiuxiu, Wei Zijin, and Deputy Director Chen and other officials standing behind him. After hearing the successful rescue, they all flew here from Tianshan Camp overnight to greet them. Everyone was filled with joy that could not be concealed, while Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zhu Yourong were even more smiling and couldn't stop. Looking at the plane roaring close, they looked at each other from time to time.

Xiang Xiaoqiang even hugged Zhu Yourong inadvertently and kissed her deeply for several seconds. This action immediately aroused a burst of thunderous cheers nearby.

...

On the temporary trestle that stretched towards the lake, several ambulances were parked. The military doctors carried stretchers and drip drips, stared nervously at the approaching plane, ready to pick up the wounded at any time.

Soon several large planes stopped at the dock one after another. The injured commando were carried out first, first sent to the ambulance and drove away. After the ambulance drove away, Zhu Yourong and Xiang Xiaoqiang and others "rush up" and ran to the pier to welcome the commando. The commando came out one by one, and every time they came out, the officers and soldiers on the dock would cheer. Now, these people who came out have become heroes.

Every time there came out, Xiang Xiaoqiang hugged him tightly and said:

"Thank you brother!"

Zhu Yourong shook hands with them and said with a smile:

"Thank you all!"

The fourteenth princess came out. When Xiang Xiaoqiang saw her, he immediately stepped forward and the two hugged her tightly. The fourteenth princess was trembling in Xiang Xiaoqiang's arms, and tears flowed out without any obstacles. Xiang Xiaoqiang also shed tears, patted her back, and choked:

"Afang... made you suffer..."

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yourong, Qiu Qiu and Xiuxiu also hugged the fourteenth princess tightly, comforting "Sister Liaoyang" with tears.

Then, Guangwu and his wife and children also came out.

Suddenly, the entire dock area cheered with tsunamis. Emperor Guangwu of the Qing Dynasty was captured! The culprit who shot Nanjing and killed thousands of civilians, and then invaded Nanjing was captured! The culprit who turned the northern land into hell on earth was captured!

For hundreds of years, this was the first Emperor of the Northern Qing Dynasty to be captured by the Ming army. This incident is not only a brilliant move in Chinese history, but also a great book in world history.

...

But we can't stay here for a long time. After such a fuss, the Soviets must have been angry and embarrassed. The Taurebao Lake is so close to the Soviet-controlled area that a large number of planes will be bombed in a few hours.

At this time, it was already dawn. Everything was as planned and perfect. Xiang Xiaoqiang, Zhu Yourong, Fourteen Princess and others all took the plane and took off from the temporary runway here. But they did not fly southwest back to the Tianshan camp, but went east to Kulun 1,200 kilometers away, the capital of Outer Mongolia, Urabato in the later generations. So far, their affairs in the northern border have been successfully completed, and it is time to return to Nanjing.
