Chapter 235: Lord Shizi invites you to board

Talk, what to talk about?

It's nothing more than a way to survive.

"Exchange one million lives for the lives of more than 13,000 people, Your Majesty! One million for ten thousand! This business is worth it no matter how you calculate it!"

Although his wife and daughter were in Akito's hands, Abatai, as the commander-in-chief of an army, still focused on the safety of his soldiers.

Although Hou Fangyu was handed over to the man in front of him, Abatai had to admit that the kid's plan was indeed the only way for everyone to survive. Only in this way would the wise people let them cross the river.

"Having said that, I still have this person in your hands. If you don't let me go, how can I trust you?"

Zhu Guoqiang's voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely firm.

"You can release some people first! The rest will be released naturally when I cross the Yellow River!"

Lest the other party didn't believe it, Abate said specifically.

"If the prince doesn't believe it, you can ask that servant Hou Fangyu. He came up with this plan. Now he is in your hands. Did I lie to you? You will know once you ask. In fact..."

Suddenly, Abatai's expression became dim, and even the way he looked at the Prince Virtue in front of him became more and more complicated.

"Your Majesty, I led more than 30,000 troops to plunder the Ming Dynasty from the south. Today, at most, only 30,000 people can return to the Qing Dynasty alive. I have lost nearly 20,000 troops. It can be said that this is the heaviest loss we have suffered since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Returning to Qing Dynasty

After arriving in Shengjing, the emperor will definitely not spare me. I will definitely die when the time comes. All I want is to bring these slaves back so that my children will not be harmed after my death. So, you can rest assured. No matter what, I will

It's all a dead end, so naturally we won't vent our anger on the people of Ming Dynasty!"

In fact, Abatai knows his future better than anyone else. He will definitely die. Even if he does not die in Nanjing, he will die in Shengjing. In any case, the emperor will use his head to give everyone an explanation, so he will

I have such emotion.

The reason why he wanted to take all these people back was also to give the emperor an explanation to the Qing Dynasty. Only in this way, his sons would not be implicated by him in the future. If, today, he left everyone here

, then his sons will definitely be implicated by him in the future.

After talking about this, looking at Abate's disappointed look, logically speaking, Zhu Guoqiang should give in, but he still shook his head and said.

"That being said, the truth is not this. You won't kill people to vent your anger, but there's no guarantee that your minions won't. Even if you strictly order not to kill the people you plundered, if you kill people along the way,

What? If you don’t kill before you cross the Yellow River, what about after you cross the Yellow River?”

Shaking his head, Zhu Guoqiang refused directly.

"So, no matter what, I can't agree to this condition!"

"Then what do you think we should do? Are we going to have to tie our own hands?"

Although he knew that what the other party said was true, he still refused to give in when he thought that he had lowered his attitude so low. This made Abatai suddenly angry.

"If you are willing, I will not object!"

The other party's anger made Zhu Guoqiang sneer.

"Now, you have only one way to go! Hand over all the plundered people. As long as you surrender them, I promise to send you away from the Ming Dynasty!"

"Guaranteed, how to guarantee!"

Facing Abate's rhetorical question, Zhu Guoqiang turned his head and looked in the direction of Zhongshan Xiaoling Tomb, and then said.

"I swear by the spirit of my ancestors in heaven!"

Amid Abate's surprise, Zhu Guoqiang sneered.

"You hand over everyone, and I will prepare forty boats for you on the riverside, with boatmen on each boat. Then you go down the river, leave the Yangtze River estuary, and go north back to Liaodong! In this way, you and I will both

Feel at ease!"

"Peace of mind!"

As soon as Zhu Guoqiang finished speaking, Abate objected loudly.

"What a joke, if you hit me on the river, how should I fight back?"

Not to mention Abate, even the generals under his command were frightened by the scene of hundreds of ships being destroyed by fire yesterday morning!

So many slaves sank into the water without even hearing a sound. Now they are allowed to get on the boat. What if the Ming army lets them go again?

Faced with everyone's worries, Abatai groaned.

"He said he would burn all the ships!"

"What!"

Everyone was surprised.

"What did he say?"

Turg asked urgently.

"Burn, burn all the ships!"

"He said that if we agreed, he would burn all the boats and ensure that he would not pursue us. Without the boats, it would be impossible to chase us on the river. When the time comes, he would send cavalry along the river to escort us away."

Thinking of the previous conversation between the two, Abate added specifically.

"Actually, speaking of it, if we get on the boat, it is almost equivalent to tying up our hands and feet. But other than that, there is no better way. Think about it, even if we cross the Yellow River, who can guarantee that

, there is no Ming army waiting for us in Hebei?"

"Master Beile, when the time comes, as long as we join forces with Prince Rui and the others, who in this Ming Dynasty can defeat us?"

"He can!"

Turg said casually.

"His virtuous prince is capable. He has just gathered tens of thousands of Ming troops in the north of the Yangtze River. In addition to his original troops, if he sends his army to the north of the Yellow River to wait for us, we will probably die after we cross the river!"

Unlike Abate, who was brave and foolhardy, Turg was sent over as his deputy, serving as his staff and strategist. Now that he said this, everyone was silent for a while, but despite this, Turg was still uneasy.

said.

"The only thing I worry about is that even if he burns his boat, who can guarantee that he has no backup plan? What if he has other boats waiting for us? There are also boatmen on the boats.

, sailing on this sea is very risky, what if they deliberately lead us to a dead end at sea?"

"Master, this is easy to handle. There are so many boatmen. It is impossible for all of them to be dead soldiers. There must be brave men under the heavy reward. We promise to give them a thousand taels of silver each as long as they can reach Liaodong safely.

, just like those boatmen before, they are willing to work for us with one hundred taels of silver. Ming people love silver most, and with money, they will definitely be willing to work for us!"

Che Ke's words made everyone think about it, and it seemed that he had a point. People in Ming Dynasty really liked money. As long as they had money, there would definitely be people willing to work for the Qing Dynasty.

"Yes, besides, it's a boat trip, and everyone is in the same boat. If we die, will the boatman on the boat still be alive? I still don't believe it. Mingren can find thousands of dead men!"

Afterwards, everyone discussed and discussed, just like Abatai, they finally convinced themselves that going by sea seemed to be the best option at the moment.

Of course, this does not mean that they have nothing to worry about, such as those "sacred fires" that can burn ships to ashes in an instant. Even if the Ming army burned all their ships, as long as they think of the tragic situation on the river yesterday

, they all said with lingering fears.

"I'm just worried about them setting fire!"

Faced with everyone's worries, Turge suddenly said.

"Master Beile, didn't he say that he was willing to swear in the name of our ancestors?"

Is the name of ancestors important?

For Zhu Guoqiang, he doesn't mind swearing in the names of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and others. After all, they are not his real ancestors.

Moreover, for modern people, the so-called "Heaven and Earth will be destroyed" and other oaths have no lethality. They are just like hello and hello, but they are just said casually.

But in this era, the oath is not only bound by the oath itself, but also by the public opinion of the entire society.

But in dealing with those perfidious Tatars, an oath is necessary, but it is just a compromise.

"Your Majesty, it's just a temporary change. When they get on the boat, we will take action again..."

Before the people around him finished speaking, Zhu Guoqiang burst out laughing.

"Why bother? I said that I will not send troops to chase him, send ships to bombard him, and set fire to them. If you violate this, I will be punished by heaven and earth."

After laughing, Zhu Guoqiang sneered in his heart as he walked towards Abatai and the others.

"Get on the boat, get on the boat, when the time comes..."
