Chapter 166 I am smiling from the horizontal knife to the sky
After waiting anxiously for several days, Tu Guobao met his nephew Yang Guohai.
He asked impatiently, "Is it going to happen?"
Yang Guohai looked excited, "It's done, Li Sutai's head is now in my hands."
Tu Guobao was shocked, "What did you do with his head? Are you looking for death?"
Yang Guohai excitedly told Tu Guobao the details of this operation. He took advantage of his authority in Jiangnan to sell private salt, ordnance, human beings, etc., and had close contacts with many people on the rivers and lakes. He also had some desperadoes under his command. This time he was
Through this channel, a subordinate who was once the top killer in the world was sent to kill Li Sutai.
I had made an agreement with this man beforehand that if things didn't work out, he would be killed. He was sent by Zhu Wu, and Yang Guohai would also take good care of his family and children and would give them three thousand taels of silver. If things worked out, the money would also be given.
One point is a lot.
This killer was once chased by his enemies and almost died. It was Yang Guohai who took him in and protected him, so he always said that he owed his life. People in the world sometimes talk about the rules and morals of the world. Although the assassination was dangerous, this killer was already famous.
, happily accepted the order to go.
And he completed the task smoothly, and even brought back Li Sutai's head.
"This guy is so damn brave." Tu Guobao felt his palms sweating and his heart trembling as he listened.
Li Shutai pursued Huang Fei and actually won a complete victory in Songjiang Desheng Port and captured Huang Fei alive. This was something that Tu Guobao did not expect. However, the more this happened, the more it showed that if Li Shutai was not killed, he wanted to
It would be difficult to blame Li Shutai for the loss of Suzhou.
It's better now. If a person dies, any dirty water can be poured on his head.
You can even go and take over this team right away. Even if this is a flag camp, temporary restraint can also make Tu Guobao, a bare-bones governor, more reliable and at ease.
"You immediately take my royal flag and rush to Songjiang, immediately take over Li Shutai's more than 1,000 eight banners, and bring them back to Suzhou immediately."
"And Huang Fei's men and horses have also been recruited."
"Keep an eye on Huang Fei, don't get killed. After all, this man is also a fake earl and admiral. Maybe Zhu Wu is willing to spend a lot of money to get him back."
Yang Guohai was shocked, "Uncle, how dare you let Huang Fei go?"
"We have done everything in the first year of junior high school. There is nothing we can't do in the fifteenth year. We have more debts now and we don't have to worry about it. We just have to see what we can exchange for it."
Yang Guohai looked at his uncle who seemed to be much older and sighed, "If we have an affair with Zhu Wu, shouldn't we be caught by him in the future?"
"Now we can only take one step at a time, and look at the present first before talking." Tu Guobao was a thief before, and he knew very well how the kidnappers extorted money, but now the question is, does he have any other choice?
He is not a loyal and righteous man and would rather die than surrender.
Not to mention sticking to his duty for the sake of the court and the country. If that were the case, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation and just die. But why would he want to die? He has worked hard all his life to earn this national treasure.
How could you give up your position as governor like this?
He could be a thief and be recruited by the imperial court to join the army, and he could also surrender to the Qing soldiers and attack the Ming Dynasty, so for him, any loyalty is really worthless.
"What about the head?"
"At my place."
Tu Guobao finally gritted his teeth and decided to risk his life.
Li Shutai's head was obtained from Yang Guowei, and then he took it in a box and went to see Yan Wogong.
"The down payment required by Admiral Zhu to redeem the city has been collected. Please help me contact Mr. Yan to see how to hand it over. In addition, I have a gift here that I want to give to Admiral Zhu. I would also like Mr. Yan to forward it to me."
…
Zhu Yihai was also very surprised when he saw Li Shutai's head and the embarrassed and haggard Huang Fei.
The second son of Li Yongfang, the chief traitor Li Yongfang, Li Shutai, the minister and Mele Zhangjing, the pillars of a top family of the Eight Banners Han Army in Suzhou, were left with a ferocious head in front of him.
.
Because it had been pickled with lime and soaked in mercury, it looked even more hideous and terrifying.
But Huang Fei stood there, without the slightest aura of a battle-hardened general, looking as miserable and pitiful as a castrated native dog.
Huang Fei was the admiral of the navy during the Chongzhen period. Under the King of Yiyang, he was awarded the title of Shaofu Wuyingdian, Grand Scholar of Wuyingdian, and Shangshu of the Second Department of Libing and Fengzhen Nanbo due to his strong soldiers and horses.
Like the walking dead.
The 50,000 men in Taihu were frightened by the news of the defeat, and then fled to Songjiang. As a result, the port of Desheng was completely burned down by two fires by more than a thousand cavalry, and the 50,000 men were just like that.
The last bit of Huang Fei's energy and energy was wiped out by the blow.
This old man who has been fighting for half his life is now useless.
Zhu Yihai looked at him, not knowing what to say, and finally just sighed.
He knew very well that Huang Fei had some abilities, although they were not very impressive, but they should be among the best in this era. However, when the country was broken, the exile fleet he brought with him, although he tried hard to support it, could not
Still out of control.
He had long been unable to control this fleet, so he was not entirely to blame for such a complete annihilation.
If it had been anyone else, it probably wouldn't have been useful.
It's like one person driving 50,000 pigs. How to drive them well?
"General Huang, please go down and recuperate first. We will arrange errands after you recover." Zhu Yihai did not punish Huang Fei. His situation was a non-war crime and no one could save him.
Moreover, Huang Fei was not his general in the first place. Although Huang Fei's fleet was destroyed, there were still many defeated troops in Suzhou and Song Dynasty. Some of these troops had already been taken in by Zhu Yihai, regardless of whether they were selected to join the army.
, or work as a shipwright, or engage in logistics, or build production, he will be a part of them in the future, so Zhu Yihai has no reason to kill Huang Fei.
This kind of indiscriminate killing is impossible to kill.
After all, Huang Fei is not a traitor to the country.
Huang Fei lowered his head in shame, knelt down in front of Zhu Yihai, kowtowed, his forehead was bleeding, and he burst into tears. He didn't say much, knelt down until his forehead was bleeding, and then got up and left with tears and runny nose.
As a result, on the same day, the following reported that after Huang Fei left, he first met with Xu Shiqi, Shen Chenquan, etc., and then met with some old subordinates from the original fleet who had been taken into custody. Finally, he said some words of comfort, and then he drew his sword and committed suicide in public.
.
Before he died, he said that Lu Jianguo had not sinned against him, but he had no shame in living.
"Let Mr. Xu Ge and others discuss the posthumous title, present it to the Marquis of Dongjiang, offer sacrifices, and include it in the Ming Dynasty's Loyalty and Righteousness Excerpts, and offer it to the Zhongyi Temple!"
Huang Fei committed suicide. For him, it was regarded as an apology with death, and it was a kind of relief.
Zhu Yihai secretly met with Mr. Yan.
After telling him the news that Huang Fei committed suicide, Mr. Yan was very sad after hearing this, "Hey."
"Tell Tu Guobao that I have received all those goods, and the quantity is correct. It is worth 360,000 taels, and I am very satisfied. But Li Shutai's head is quite scary, and he killed Li Shutai.
But he framed the evil name on me, which makes me a little unhappy, but since it is his first offense, forget it this time, but if there is a next time, remember to get my consent first."
"Our army will withdraw from Suzhou City in three days. At that time, we will leave some troops to bluff and let Tu Guobao come at night to pretend to capture the city. We will cooperate with them in the show, and we will not charge for the hard work this time."
"Also, in the place where he hid the money before, I left him tortoiseshell ivory pearls and the like, which are worth forty thousand taels, of which thirty-six thousand is considered as a 10% discount on his down payment for redeeming the city. The remaining four thousand is for Li
A reward for the leader’s head.”
"If he can get me Hong Chengchou's head next time, I will give him a reward of 40,000 taels, and if he can get Duduo and Bolo's heads, I will give him a reward of 100,000 taels."
"Of course, if it were the head of an ordinary Tatar soldier, I would also want it. Here is a list, please give it to him. The price is clearly marked, so you can be honest!"
Yan Wogong took it and saw that it said: from governor to governor, from admiral to commander-in-chief, from general to guerrilla, garrison, commander, chief qian, and the heads of Tatar officers at all levels including the commander-in-chief will be rewarded with silver, and the four governors
Ten thousand taels, an ordinary Eight Banners vest has twenty taels, a foot armor has fifteen taels, and a coated slave has ten taels.
"I don't want anyone from the Han Army of the Eight Banners and the Green Camp, except those above the battalion officer level. I'm afraid that he will kill a good person and take the reward at the risk of merit!" Zhu Yihai said.
"According to this list, as long as he can get it, I will charge him as much as he wants. I will pay him as much as I can, and I will never default on the discount."
"Also, tell Tu Guobao that I value the agreement we reached and hope for long-term cooperation. But if he dares to play tricks, tell him that he can't bear the consequences."
Mr. Yan nodded in agreement.
Zhu Yihai took Yan Wogong's hand and said, "Bolo is coming to Suzhou soon. You should be careful when you follow him to Beijing this time, especially beware of Dorgon. There are many treacherous Tatars in Beijing, so be careful.
, once the slightest clue is revealed, it will be doomed, and we can't save it even if we want to."
However, Yan Wogong was very calm, "I have to break into the dragon's den and the tiger's den. During this period of time, I have become accustomed to lurking in the bandit camp. Even if I were to be exposed and missed, I would only be torn into pieces. Since I first
I will be prepared for this when you enter the bandit camp."
Zhu Yihai was very emotional when he heard that Yan Wogong's current situation was by no means easier than that of the generals who charged into the battle. As his position in the enemy camp became higher and higher, the danger of being exposed and getting into trouble became greater.
The pressure on my heart must be huge.
"Yan Qing, when you go to Beijing, I will also give you a title and promotion to strengthen your career. I will give you the title of earl of Shaoxing, Shaobao, and you will be awarded the title of Honorary Officer and the title of Zhuguo!"
Mr. Yan smiled and thanked him for the title, and did not refuse. Perhaps he had the feeling that he would never return. This was a secret reward after all. Unless he succeeded and regained his identity, this official title would be just a secret decree.
.
"Mr. Yan, you are the one who deceived Beile Boluo, the pseudo-governor Zhang Cunren, the pseudo-deputy general Li Yuchun, the pseudo-governor Xiao Qiyuan, etc. I believe that when you go north this time, the pseudo-governor of Nanjing Hong Chengchou and the pseudo-Prince Duduo of Henan will be deceived.
If I still can't see through you, even if I get to Beijing, I can still play with Dorgon at his fingertips!"
Mr. Yan laughed.
Trying to keep the entire Qing Dynasty in the dark and deceive them is tantamount to reaching the sky. Paper cannot cover the fire after all, but Yan Wo Gong did not propose to stay. He was willing to go north to supervise the country of Lu.
If you are willing to take this trip, even if it is very likely that you will never come back, it is still worth it to buy more time.
"If something unfortunate happens to me while I'm here, please have your highness publish a report to correct my name. I have nothing else to ask for but to be included in the martyrdom record and to be admitted to the Zhongyi Temple."
"From now on, when His Royal Highness, Wang Shibei, sets the Central Plains, please remember to have someone burn a piece of good news on my grave, so that I can smile in Jiuquan!"
Zhu Yihai wanted to cry when he said this. He was clearly talking about death and sacrifice, but he was so calm and calm.
A man who failed in the imperial examination was able to face death calmly. He was a true warrior and a loyal minister.
"Stop fucking talking about death. You can definitely live to be a hundred years old. You might as well go to Beijing and be sent back as the governor of Jiangnan!"
"I'm waiting for you to come back and have a drink together!"
Yan Woggong laughed, bowed, stepped back, and turned around.
Zhu Yihai stood there alone, always feeling filled with panic.
"Don't die, I'll wait for you to come back!" He shouted at the retreating figure!
