Wang Chengen was furious and said: "Hu Xinshui, do you want to rebel?"
"My lord, you are joking. I cannot bear the charge of rebellion." Hu Xinshui burst out laughing after hearing this. "The general is doing this to ensure the safety of the emperor. How can he talk about rebellion? Hahaha."
Zhu Gaoyuan stared into Hu Xinshui's eyes and said, "What if I have to go back?"
"I'm afraid I will disappoint the Holy One." Hu Xinshui subconsciously avoided Zhu Gaoyuan's sight.
The Ming Dynasty lasted for more than 270 years, and its orthodox status was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even naturalized barbarians like Hu Xinshui easily dared not desecrate the majesty of the Ming Emperor.
"I will definitely not be disappointed."
Zhu Gaoyuan said: "Because what I want to do can definitely be done."
Zhu Gaoyuan continued to look directly into Hu Xinshui's eyes, and still held Hu Xinshui's hand without letting go. He looked like a pair of old friends who had not seen each other for many years, but in fact, the atmosphere in the tent was already tense.
"But today, I'm afraid I will disappoint the Holy One." Hu Xinshui finally began to look directly at Zhu Gaoyuan.
"I will not be disappointed." Zhu Gaoyuan smiled slightly and said to Wang Chengen, "Wang Daban, didn't you also prepare a gift for Hu Aiqing? Take it out quickly."
"According to the order." Wang Chengen began to take off his brocade robe.
Gao Qiqi, Hu Guozhu and Hu Xinshui said together: "?"
What's going on? Why did the old eunuch take off his robe?
Hu Xinshui even got goosebumps all over her body, wondering if this old castrate wanted to...
I saw Wang Chengen quickly taking off his brocade robe, throwing it casually on the ground, and then stepped forward and took off a torch stuck on the willow frame of the big tent.
The Hu family father and son and Gao Qiqian were even more confused. What are they doing?
Wang Chengen took the torch and casually lifted the brocade robe on the ground.
The next moment, the brocade robe on the ground burst into flames, and the flames instantly filled the sky.
"What is this?" The Hu family father and son and Gao Qiqian were dumbfounded. What is going on?
How could the brocade robe burn so easily? And why was the fire so intense? This is really scary.
If this brocade robe were worn on a human body, wouldn't it be burned alive? When the fire goes out, only the skeleton would be left, right?
Then, Hu Xinshui took a breath of cold air in horror, looked down at the brocade robe she was wearing, and thought to herself that the brocade robe just given by Chongzhen would not be so easy to burn, right? It's broken!
Hu Xinshui subconsciously wanted to take off her brocade robe, but found that her hand was grabbed by Chongzhen.
"Don't move!" Zhu Gaoyuan tightly grasped Hu Xinshui's hands and said in a deep voice, "If you dare to move, I will burn you to death!"
As he spoke, Wang Chengen rushed to Chongzhen's side, and then put the torch in front of Hu Xinshui. If he lowered it just a few inches, he could light the brocade robe on Hu Xinshui's body.
"Qiang Qiang!" Hu Guozhu and several Yiding drew their scimitars one after another.
Several other Yiding men drew their horned bows and mounted heavy three-edged arrows.
"Hu Guozhu, right? If you don't want your father to die, it's best not to move!" Zhu Gaoyuan squeezed Hu Xinshui's hands tightly, but turned his eyes to Hu Guozhu and said, "The brocade robe your father wore was soaked in mutton oil.
The mezzanine has been filled with gunpowder. As long as the torch touches it lightly, your father will be burned to ashes immediately!"
"Emperor Dog, my father is dead, and you can't survive either."
Hu Guozhu's eyes suddenly turned red and he stared at Zhu Gaoyuan like a wolf.
Zhu Gaoyuan turned his gaze to Hu Xinshui again and said with a smile: "Hu Aiqing, your master is a little too excited. Please ask him and your generals to calm down. Don't be impulsive."
By this time, Hu Xinshui had slowly calmed down.
Hu Xinshui said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I hate to be threatened the most."
"Haha, what a coincidence." Zhu Gaoyuan exclaimed, "I hate being threatened the most in my life."
"So, I advise you, Your Majesty, to give up." Hu Xinshui said, "If you give up now, I can pretend that nothing has happened and still protect you and return to Yongping safely. If you don't give up, then we will die together."
Zhu Gaoyuan chuckled and said: "Hu Aiqing, look at what I'm wearing?"
"What?" Hu Xinshui's eyes fell on Zhu Gaoyuan, and her heart skipped a beat. The emperor was actually wearing the same brocade robe as him? In other words, he had already given up on life and death?
Once the coercion fails, will you no longer think about surviving?
That is to say, Chongzhen never thought about returning to Yongping with him from the beginning.
"My dear, do you understand now?" Zhu Gaoyuan said calmly, "I am not afraid of death either!"
After a pause, he then said: "It's just that there is no need for you and me to make such a fuss. I can give you whatever Wu Sangui can give you, and I can give you whatever Wu Sangui can't give you! So, you
Why hang yourself on a tree like Wu Sangui? Why can't your Hu family and his son fight for me and the Ming Dynasty?"
"Really?" Hu Xinshui said disdainfully, "What can your Majesty give me?"
At this moment, Hu Xinshui no longer wanted to suppress her dissatisfaction with Chongzhen.
Every soldier of the Guan Ning Army or every Liao citizen was extremely dissatisfied with Chongzhen and Guan Ning. If Chongzhen hadn't listened to Greedy's words and destroyed the Great Wall to kill Governor Yuan, Jiannu would have been crippled even if he hadn't been wiped out.
Zhu Gaoyuan straightened his face and said: "I can give you the title of Earl, Marquis, Duke, or even King of the Hu family. Maybe I can also make your Golden Family the master of the grassland again."
Anyway, it's cheating, anyway, it's just writing a bad check. Of course, the bigger the denomination, the better.
"How do you know that I am a descendant of the Golden Family?" Hu Xinshui's expression changed slightly.
Zhu Gaoyuan smiled and said: "Not only do I know that you are a descendant of the Golden Family, but I also know that you are just the illegitimate son of Lin Dan Khan and the daughter of a slave hunter. You came to this world just because of Lin Dan Khan's whim when he was out hunting, so you don't even know that you are a descendant of the Golden Family."
Without the inheritance rights of your family territory and tribe, according to the Great Zhasa Order, you will never be able to become the Great Khan of Mongolia, but I can, I can send you to the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia!"
This is a memory from Chongzhen.
Hu Xinshui thought his identity was well hidden.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But in fact, when he first defected to Liaoxi, he was investigated by the Guan Ning Army.
"Great Khan?" Hu Xinshui seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and said again, "The Holy Emperor wants to help this illegitimate son of the Golden Family to become the Great Khan of Mongolia? Why do you do that?"
"Just based on the thousand troops in the river bend on the other side?"
Hu Xinshui deliberately said the word "big army" very loudly.
He also said: "Just because the Holy One devoted all his efforts to suppress the bandits for seventeen years, the bandits were wiped out from tens of thousands to millions, and even half of the land of the Ming Dynasty north of Huanghuai was lost?"
"Your Majesty, do you think I should believe you?"
Zhu Gaoyuan was left speechless and heartbroken, old man.
After a long while, Zhu Gaoyuan said again: "I have become different now."
"Really?" Hu Xinshui wondered, "How has the Holy Spirit become different?"
"I know the soldiers, I know the soldiers now." Zhu Gaoyuan decisively put money on his face. If he doesn't give himself money now, he may not have a chance in the future. If you want to succeed, in addition to your ability, you must also learn to package yourself.
.
"Knowing the troops?" Hu Xinshui frowned slightly. He must admit that Chongzhen's series of military deployments after he defeated the capital were indeed a bit unexpected.
No one expected that after breaking the siege, he did not go south or east, but actually fled north into Yanshan. After provoking the Gongtu tribe at the northern foot of Yanshan, he did not hide in Yanshan again, but went the other way.
Go north deep into the grassland.
If there was even a slight mistake in any link, Chongzhen would have been imprisoned long ago.
Zhu Gaoyuan added: "I actually read a lot of military books when I was young, but because I didn't have the opportunity to lead troops in the deep palace, I didn't know that I still had the talent for using soldiers, and my talent was quite high. This time I was very successful.
The remnant army's defeat was just to catch a duck, but in the end it forced out my talent in using soldiers, which can be regarded as the blessing of my ancestors."
"What's the use?" Hu Xinshui muttered, "The Ming Dynasty is in deep trouble and there is no hope. It is impossible to defeat the Ming Dynasty with just half of the Yangtze River, with those civil servants who only know how to favor each other, greedy for money and generals who are greedy for life and fear of death.
I have defeated millions of thieves, so I might as well say something heart-breaking. The demise of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable, so just accept your fate."
"Is it inevitable?" Zhu Gaoyuan said, "In fact, the bandits' foundation is very shallow, and they will destroy the Great Wall soon."
Hu Xinshui said suddenly: "It's useless to say this. Your Majesty, you can't even leave the grassland. Even if a thousand barbarians are willing to fight for the Ming Dynasty, they can't protect you and fight back to the pass, let alone how many days.
It is simply impossible to protect you and fight your way back to Nanjing under the siege and interception of a hundred thousand rogue cavalry."
Zhu Gaoyuan smiled and said: "Hu Aiqing, how about we make a bet?"
After a pause, he continued: "If I can easily defeat the bandits and the Gongtu cavalry on the other side, and then fight back to Nanjing without any effort, you and your thousand Yidin will agree to fight for the Ming Dynasty."
.”
Hu Xinshui glanced at the torch in Wang Chengen's hand, and finally nodded: "Okay, let's bet."
"Very good, Hu Aiqing, you have made the most correct decision in your life." Zhu Gaoyuan said, "Then now, I have Hu Aiqing to return to the military camp on the other side with me, and these thousand barbarians will be temporarily led by the Young Master."
If you dare to annex these thousand tiger and wolf soldiers immediately, you will easily lose your head in the middle of the night.
"Okay." Hu Xinshui agreed simply, because there was really no need to die together with Chongzhen.
When Chongzhen realized that he was not even a capable soldier, and had no ability to defeat the remnants of thieves and the Gongtu tribe, it was not too late to find a way to persuade him to accept reality. People have to face reality eventually.
If it doesn't work, then we should resort to force.
