Chapter 122 Zhang Chun is Captured and Pretentious
Update time:2012-11-25
In fact, it was completely unnecessary to order Yue Tuo and Pian Gu to open a gap. If Huang Taiji knew that most of the Ming army wanted to surrender and there would be no situation of trapped beasts still fighting, he probably would not have issued this order.
It can be said that he could have obtained more than 10,000 Ming army prisoners, but in the end, he lost these prisoners through this self-righteous arrangement.
As soon as the Jin army moved, Zhang Hongmo fulfilled his promise to Zhang Chun and resolutely rushed towards Xiaoling River first. The Ming army either knew how to break out of the encirclement, or they were just dragged along by the crowd and rushed with them.
I thought it was impossible to break through the Jin army's defense line, but I didn't know that the Jin army in front of me suddenly withdrew to both sides, opening a gap to the south bank![
The sudden opening was a bright light for the Ming army in a desperate situation. Now, those who wanted to surrender refused to surrender. With a way to survive, who would be willing to be a slave to the Donglu!
Even the generals like Hu Daxian, who were determined to surrender, became more energetic at this moment. They immediately put the thought of surrender behind their minds and ran towards the opening.
The short rest gave these exhausted Ming troops a little strength. Now that they suddenly saw a way out, it was as if they had eaten the rejuvenating grass. Tens of thousands of people rushed in, almost scattering Yue Tuo's troops.
But the good luck ended here. As the Jin army followed and killed the four flags of red, red, white and white, only a few thousand Ming troops were left in the river.
Thousands of people were scattered in the river and ran desperately. There was no formation or resistance at all. They were all running in a swarm, each one competing to see who was faster. No one paid attention to the fate of their companions who were caught up by the Jin army behind them.
, they only know how to run, running non-stop.
Yue Tuo and Pang Gudang's troops also surrounded them. This time they did not cut off the Ming army's retreat, but followed behind and killed the Ming army.
Thousands of Ming soldiers were scattered, without command or contact, and they were just running for their lives in individual units. At this time, the spirit of the soldiers of the Ming army really collapsed. If someone in front refused to move forward, blocking their way to escape.
, that is to chop down with one knife. If the companion in front is a little slower, he will chop down with one knife. Sometimes, even if the companion in front does nothing, he will still be chopped down.
Crazy, totally crazy!
The Ming army was killing each other crazily, and the Jin army behind them was killing them crazily.
It was too easy to chase down the fleeing Ming army. All the Jin army faced was the backs of the Ming army deserters. All they had to do was cut them down with the sword in their hands, as if they were practicing slashing. It was so easy.
One by one, the Ming army was chopped down by the Jin army like melons and vegetables. No Ming army wanted to turn around to resist and fight. They were completely despairing and had no soul left.
Finally, the Ming army, which found that it was impossible to get rid of the pursuers, collapsed. Zhang Hongmo led the remaining 300 cavalry to abandon their horses and kneel down, surrendering, they surrendered!
As soon as Zhang Hongmo surrendered, all the Ming army knelt down and surrendered. When Dong Kaiguo was protecting Zhang Chun and running towards Xiaoling River, he was unfortunately dispersed by the rebel army. He wanted to go back to look for it, but he couldn't find it, so he could only lead three of his men.
Run south.
Everything is over. Although there are still dozens of Ming troops running south in a hurry in the distance, the Jin army is no longer interested in chasing them. It's better to keep these people and report back.
Azige and Dorgon arranged for people to search for Zhang Chun among the prisoners. After a while, a Niu Lu shouted excitedly: "Zhang Chun has been caught, Zhang Chun has been caught, Zhang Chun has been caught!"
"
……………
In the rebellious army, Zhang Chun and Dong Kaiguo were separated. They were wrapped up in the crowd and ran south for dozens of steps. Finally, they fell to the ground because of their old age. The sword given by the emperor in their hands did not know where it fell. The defeated soldiers just looked at it.
He ran for his life, but no one paid attention to him as the coach. When he stumbled to his feet, he realized that everything was over. He didn't even have a chance to commit suicide before he was discovered and tied up by several Jin soldiers.
The good news of Zhang Chun's capture immediately reached Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji was so happy that he ordered Zhang Chun and the Ming army's surrendered generals to be escorted to the Khan's tent in Daling River.
Because the Jin army had surrendered in the Yongping Massacre and refused to surrender before being persuaded to do so, Zhang Hongmo, Hu Daxian and others thought they would be put to death. After entering the tent, they all kneeled down subconsciously under the scolding of Huang Taiji's guards.
On the ground, people were horrified and fearful for their lives, but Zhang Chun was the only one with eyes wide open and his head held high, his hair and beard already stained red with blood.[
Daishan didn't know who Zhang Chun was, and no one had ever reported him. Seeing how arrogant this old man was, he couldn't help but became furious and shouted: "How dare you, an old man who doesn't know life and death, be so presumptuous, pull him down and quarter him!"
Azig, who had just entered the tent, was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Second brother, this old man is Zhang Chun, the supervisor of the Ming army!"
Dai Shan was stunned for a moment, then changed his smile and laughed loudly: "It turns out to be Mr. Zhang, disrespect, disrespect!" He glared at the guards and said, "Why don't you untie the boss and watch your seat!"
Zhang Chun, on the other hand, did not buy Dai Shan Zhang at all. He snorted angrily and did not even look at Huang Taiji who was sitting on the throne. He only glared angrily at Zhang Hongmo, Hu Daxian and the others.
Zhang Hongmo, Hu Daxian and others knew that Zhang Chun looked down on him for kneeling to Jian Nu, but how could they dare to show off when they were serving as slaves for others and as flesh and blood for others?
However, this old man Chun Chun has some backbone, um, he is a loyal minister, so I have to win over him.
Huang Taiji was not angry with Zhang Chun. He pretended to smile tolerantly and turned to Zhang Hongmo and other surrendered generals: "You and I have been fighting for most of the day. It's getting dark now. I think everyone must be hungry. Let's eat first."
, even if I am the Khan to take over for you. As for other matters, we will talk about everything after dinner." After saying that, without waiting for the generals to express their opinions, he waved his hand and gave the order: "Come here, please pass on the message, prepare beef, mutton and good wine.
, serve it immediately, the generals’ stomachs can’t wait!”
"Cha!" At that moment, a guard rushed to pass the food and drinks.
When they heard that the slave chief wanted to treat them to a meal, Zhang Hongmo and others were a little surprised. They bravely raised their heads to look at Huang Taiji. Only then did they realize that the slave chief standing in front of them was actually a fat man. They were stunned for a moment. But seeing this
Fat Khan was looking at them with a smile on his face, and his expression was pleasant. There was no trace of malice at all. He couldn't help but feel relieved. He thought to himself that since the slave chief invited us to drink, he probably wouldn't kill us, right?
After the food and drinks were served, Huang Taiji specially called over dozens of Han officials such as Tong Yangxing, Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, Bao Chengxian, Shi Tingzhu, Sun Degong, etc. to accompany them. Some of them knew each other before, and some had heard of them even though they did not know each other.
Under the deliberate chatting with these Han officials, the atmosphere immediately relaxed. Only Zhang Chun was sitting there, not eating or drinking, with his eyes closed and motionless.
Zhang Chun's every move was watched by Huang Taiji, but he didn't care about him until the banquet. After all the surrendered generals eagerly expressed their willingness to serve for Dai Jin, Huang Taiji said to them: "You guys
Now that the gold has been sent, they are all my favorite generals."
He raised his finger and pointed at Tong Yangxing, who was sitting in the chief position of the Han official, and said with a smile: "This is my Dajin Angbang Zhangjing, the commander-in-chief of the Han army flag, and the concubine Tong Yangxing in the west room of the Dajin Kingdom. From now on, you will be here together with your subordinates." If you are incorporated under his command, as for the official position, you will be rewarded according to the level in the Ming Dynasty plus one level. If you are promoted in the future, you will be promoted and deposed based on your military merit. I have made it clear here that if you still have different intentions, I will decide who you are. If you will serve me Dajin faithfully, I will never treat you badly!"
The surrendering generals did not expect that Huang Taiji not only refused to kill them, but also treated them as kindly as Fan Wencheng had said in persuading them to surrender. They were a little excited for a moment and came forward in unison to express their thanks: "Thank you, King Khan, for not killing them. I wish you all the best." Long live King Khan, long live, long live!"
Seeing the generals calling him "Long live", Huang Taiji smiled brightly and nodded repeatedly to show that he was very happy.
After dealing with these surrendered generals, Huang Taiji and Daishan exchanged glances and both looked at Zhang Chun. Huang Taiji said to Zhang Chun with sincerity: "My lord, now that all your subordinates have submitted to me, Sir, are you willing to submit to me like them?" Where is Khan?"
"Since ancient times, loyal ministers have been respected by descendants of all generations, and treacherous ministers and scoundrels have been reviled by all generations. Slave chief, don't even think about me surrendering you! Kill or behead them all as you please, don't make such a pretentious gesture!"
Zhang Chun pointed out the hypocrisy of Huang Taiji with one word, glanced at Zhang Hongmo and the others with great disdain, then raised his head to the south, and said solemnly: "I am a minister of the Celestial Dynasty, entrusted by the Holy Sage, I cannot destroy you and others now." The clown has only one life left!"
"Boss, are you really not afraid of death?!" Huang Taiji's face looked a little ugly. Zhang Chun scolded him for being pretentious, which really made him angry. If it weren't for the fact that these surrendered generals were still here, he might have changed his face.
"fear death?"
Zhang Chun laughed loudly: "I have lived in vain for sixty-five springs and autumns in heaven and earth. How many more years can I live? If I die today, I will die a few days early, so why should I be afraid? As the saying goes, people are not afraid of death. Why are you afraid of death? Oh, yes, how can you, a slave in the wild wilderness like you, understand what I am saying, haha."
"You old man, you are really impatient with life!" Ah Shan saw that Zhang Chun dared to be disrespectful to the Khan. He was furious and drew his sword to kill Zhang Chun.
"How wanton!" Huang Taiji scolded Ah Shan, "I'm not angry, but you are so wanton! Get down!" [
"Cha!" Ah Shan muttered, his face flushed, and he walked out of the tent dejectedly.
After Ah Shan left, Huang Taiji walked up to Zhang Chun, stared at him for a moment, and slowly advised:
"Life is like grass and trees, but one autumn. But since we are born as human beings, we should do our best for all the people in the world. The Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty have been fighting for more than ten years. In these ten years, I don't know how many lives have been lost, and I don't know how many lives have been lost. How many families, wives and children have been separated. When will the end of this fighting continue? People all over the world are tired of fighting for a long time. They all hope that the two countries can stop fighting and restore peace to the world. The boss is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty and is relied upon by Chongzhen. The Khan advises you to do something for the people of the world during your lifetime, and to die in vain, as light as a feather. Please think deeply about what I said, Mr. Zhang!"
