As the commander-in-chief, Liu Zongmin was about to evacuate, so naturally he had a lot of things to be busy with.
Originally, he took a break from his busy schedule to watch a good show, but unexpectedly, he was slapped in the face, which made him very embarrassed.
He also saw that there would be no soft bones in the back ones.
Rather than continue to be slapped in the face here, it is better to continue down this step.
Therefore, he followed Gao Yigong's suggestion and left angrily.
As soon as Liu Zongmin left, Gao Yigong continued to call the names of some people present, told them to do something quickly, and also transferred these people away.
In the end, the only ones left at the scene were some of his people.
Then, Gao Yigong was seen walking in front of Da Heizi's body. After looking down for a while, he looked up at Gao Ruli who was tied to a wooden stake in front of him and said, "We have dealt with each other before.
, I have never seen you have such a hard bone!"
He Renlong's men all chased and killed the bandits back then.
Later, He Renlong's men would run away when they heard the thieves;
However, when the official battle took place this time, the performance of He Renlong's army really exceeded the Liu thief's expectations. Among them, Gao Yigong was naturally included.
Even when He Renlong first chased the bandits, he didn't see them with such strong bones.
Gao Yigong is a well-known leader under Li Zicheng. He has followed Li Zicheng for many years, so Gao Ruli naturally knows him.
At this time, after hearing Gao Yigong's question, Gao Ruli looked up at him and replied with a little pride: "Now the imperial court is worthy of those of us who are soldiers. We have a country to repay and a family to protect. Even if we die in battle, we will still be able to protect our country."
I am worshiped by the emperor, and my family and children also receive pensions. I am an old Qin, how can I live up to the favor of the imperial court!"
Gao Yigong actually heard some of these words, but he didn't really believe it... It's not like they didn't know the virtues of the imperial court.
At this time, after hearing what Gao Ruli said, he couldn't help showing a hint of sarcasm and asked: "Are you so sure that the court is not lying to you? Ordinary soldiers like you can still be worshiped by the emperor. How can you
I can believe it..."
He originally wanted to say: "...I am a hero, so don't be deceived by the court. I am a high school student who has made great contributions to heroes. I like heroes the most. How about eating a big piece of meat and drinking from a big bowl together?"
However, before he finished speaking, he heard Gao Ruli look at him with contempt, then interrupted him and said: "I have worshiped at Zhonglie Hall once today, why don't you believe it? Also, Emperor Taizu has appeared.
After that, today's emperor will not comply, this is the will of Emperor Taizu!"
"..." Gao Yigong was a little speechless, and for a moment, he didn't even speak.
After a long while, he couldn't help but shook his head and asked: "Do you really believe that Emperor Taizu appeared?"
He had also heard about this matter, and it was even spread among the bandit army. However, no one believed that such a thing could really happen, and they all thought it was a trick of the imperial court, just to scare people.
Depending on the channels through which information is obtained, the impact of the information will naturally be different.
When Gao Ruli heard Gao Yigong's words, he immediately replied: "How can it be false? Emperor Taizu appeared in the Jinluan Palace where the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had a spiritual appearance. Those civil servants in the court were forcing His Majesty to pardon the Confucian family of Qufu.
You big moth. Tell me, if Emperor Taizu hadn’t really shown his power and could have confiscated the Confucius family in Qufu, would the scholars in the world have no objection? All the scholars in our army believe it, but you thieves don’t believe it!”
"..." Gao Yigong was speechless after hearing this explanation.
This perspective of understanding was something he had never thought of. If he could understand it according to what Gao Ruli said, it could really prove that Emperor Taizu had manifested his spirit in public!
As soon as he got this conclusion, Gao Yigong was stunned.
Did Emperor Taizu really have a spiritual manifestation?
If this were the case, it would be impossible for the imperial court to fall, and it would be impossible for them to successfully rebel. Or could it be that everything I heard before could be true?
Thinking of this, he looked at the imperial officers and soldiers tied to the wooden stakes, then at the imperial officers and soldiers who originally wanted to survive but now looked determined again, as well as the two corpses on the ground.
The words they shouted before committing suicide echoed in his ears again: See you in the Hall of Loyalty and Martyrs!
If what Gao Ruli said is true, then it’s no wonder!
Why are today's imperial troops so brave and why would they rather die than surrender?
Because their military pay will no longer be in arrears, and they no longer have to sell their children and daughters just for a bite to eat. They already have a career. When they are alive, they will achieve military merits, be granted the title of marquis and worship generals; when they die, they will enter the Hall of Loyalty and Martyrs and live with the country forever. , wife and children don’t have to worry;
Under such circumstances, how many men would live with the infamy?
The officers and soldiers of the imperial court in front of me are all fellow countrymen, and they are all men from the Qin Dynasty. They have been the land of heroes since ancient times, so how can they lose their reputation?
Thinking of this, Gao Yigong waved his hand and said: "Come on, untie all their ropes!"
Grain basket
His men heard this and didn't know what he meant, but they still followed his instructions and went up to untie the imperial officers and soldiers who were tied to the wooden stakes.
Gao Ruli and the others also had no idea what they meant. They stood still holding on to the wooden stakes with their heads held high. They were not afraid of what tricks these bandits would use to deal with them!
But what they didn't expect was that Gao Yigong then said to them: "I respect you all as men, you go!"
Upon hearing this, everyone who heard it was stunned.
Let them go?
Gao Ruli and the others were also in disbelief and watched the bandit leader in front of them without moving.
Seeing this, Gao Yigong pointed to the corpses on the ground and said: "I will bury the remains of these two heroes alive, so you don't have to worry. I won't send you away either. Whether you can escape back depends on your ability." .If you don’t leave, Brother Liu may not let you leave if he finds out later. By then, you won’t be able to leave anymore!”
Seeing that he really didn't look like he was lying, Gao Ruli didn't stay in a daze anymore. Regardless of whether it was true or false, he would always seize the opportunity to try. If he really could live, why would he die?
With this in mind, he clasped his hands and saluted Gao Yigong and said: "The green mountains will not change and the green water will flow forever. I, Gao Ruli, have recorded what happened today!"
After finishing speaking, Gao Ruli said flatly to his colleagues: "Let's go!"
However, some of the comrades were tortured so severely that they could hardly walk on their own. Fortunately, there were comrades who supported each other. After one last look at the bodies of Da Heizi and the others, they left with difficulty.
After walking a few steps, Gao Ruli suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Gao Yigong, and found that he had been watching them silently, so he clasped his fists again and said: "Brother Gao, I see that your conscience is still intact, so give up the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible. , His Majesty has long ago decreed that except for Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin, others are allowed to be recruited. Now Yuan Shizhong, Li Dingguo and others have achieved military merit and have been knighted. They will return home in glory one day, and they can also return to our Qin land..."
Before he finished speaking, Gao Yigong waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "Go away now, don't wait for me to change my mind!"
After hearing this, Gao Ruli said nothing more, clasped his fists and saluted again, then turned around to greet his colleagues and left.
Looking at their backs, Gao Yigong's men finally came to their senses and said a little worriedly: "Brother, if you let them go, what will happen to General Liu?"
Hearing this, Gao Yigong's expression did not change. He just stared at the backs of Gao Ruli and others and said: "I, Gao Yigong, are the most heroic men in my life. You said that such heroes and heroes are still our fellow villagers. Put them all together."
Wouldn’t it be a pity to kill him?”
After hearing his words, his men stopped talking.
To be honest, these imperial officers and soldiers would rather die than surrender, which really shocked them!
What else can they have as thieves? They can't serve the country with loyalty! The only belief they still have is the morality of the world! Although some thieves actually no longer follow the morality of the world, there are still thieves after all.
Someone who can talk about the moral principles of the world!
Therefore, this group of thieves silently watched these imperial officers and soldiers disappear into the distance until they were out of sight.
Later, a person said with a little worry: "Although we let them go, this is still the chieftain's territory, and they are still injured, so I'm afraid they won't be able to get out!"
After hearing this, Gao Yigong acquiesced for a moment, and then said: "It all depends on fate! You guys buried two good people on the ground."
He is the younger brother of Li Zicheng's wife. Even if he admires these men from the imperial army, he cannot go too far.
After hearing what he said, his men didn't say anything.
After Gao Yigong left, they began to carry the body. Thinking of the heroism of Da Heizi and the two before their death, they were all a little emotional, so they started talking to each other in low voices.
"It's no wonder, it turns out those rumors are true!"
"Yes, otherwise, why would all the imperial officers and soldiers have turned into men? This is very strange!"
"It's unimaginable! When I was a frontier soldier, my life was worse than that of a pig or a dog, but now, it's really incomparable!"
"Haha, Emperor Taizu has appeared. What else is unimaginable?"
"That's right! Emperor Taizu has shown his spirit, what will our general do?"
"..."
When the discussion reached this point, suddenly, these thieves were speechless. Emperor Taizu was so powerful when he was alive, and now that he has become an immortal, who can rebel against the Ming Dynasty?
What those imperial officers and soldiers said just now, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin would not pardon whatever they said, which made many of them start to think seriously about what their future lives would be like!
About half an hour later, the army of thieves set out. Only then did Liu Zongmin know that Gao Yigong had actually let those imperial officers and soldiers go, and he was furious.
But he really couldn't yell at Gao Yigong, because after all, Gao Yigong was Li Zicheng's brother-in-law.
Fortunately, Gao Yigong also gave him an answer, saying that those imperial officers and soldiers would definitely not be able to leave the chieftain's territory, which was tantamount to deepening the feud between the chieftain and the imperial officers and soldiers, and the matter was finally revealed.
