Chapter 194 begins
Hearing what Yang Zhen said, the people nearby and the captives tied up by Wu Huada all fell silent instantly.
Hu Changhai, Gao Chengyou, Yu Liangtai and other Fuzhou Bay pirate leaders who were born in Dongjiang Town stared at Xu Erxian, recalling the tragic scenes of the past, and their eyes were about to burst into flames.
Lu Pinqi and other generals and soldiers from Songshan City beside him looked at Yang Zhen, and then at Xu Erxian who was tied on the ground. They were also thoughtful, and they had a deeper understanding of Yang Zhen, the young commander-in-chief.
I immediately felt that this young military commander was enigmatic.
At the same time, Xu Erxian himself and several strong men beside Xu Erxian who were also tied like hairy crabs all raised their heads in an instant and looked at Yang Zhen with anger or horror.
At this moment, Xu Erxian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly laughed, as if he had just heard a funny joke. But after a moment, he suddenly stopped laughing and said with disdain:
"Since I fell into your hands today, I will only die after all! Besides, I, Xu Erxian, knew that this day would come sooner or later from the day I surrendered to the army!
"What kind of retribution for good and evil, what kind of reincarnation in heaven, if there were these things, I, Xu Erxian, would have killed countless people without any reason, and I would have died countless times, and it would not be your turn!"
Xu Erxian spoke in a low and hoarse voice, with a hint of cruelty, disdain and exhaustion in his words.
After he finished saying these words, he saw that Yang Zhen was completely indifferent and still just looked at him expressionlessly, so he raised his face, squinted at Yang Zhen, and continued:
"Commander-in-Chief? Haha, forgive me for being clumsy, but I don't know what the name of this little Commander-in-Chief is, or who he is?! I heard you talk about the past in Dongjiang, and you were also a colleague in Dongjiang, but look
Get up, but your eyesight is very sharp!"
"Xu Erxian, you are indeed a ruthless character! Well, today I will ask you to die and become a sensible ghost in the underworld! - I am Yang Zhen, the chief training officer of the Songshan Regiment in Liaodong Town, Ming Dynasty!"
Yang Zhen saw that Xu Erxian looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He immediately knew that it was hopeless to learn from Xu Erxian about the deployment of the Manchu Tatars in southern Liaoning. Anyway, he had already made up his mind to kill him.
, so I don’t want to talk to him anymore.
After finishing his words, he pulled back the leading hammer of the handgun, raised the handgun, and was about to fire at Xu Erxian who was three or two steps away.
At this moment, Xu Erxian had also noticed Yang Zhen's unkindness and impatience. His slender eyes suddenly opened and he said loudly in a hoarse voice:
"Wait a minute! Mr. Yang, please wait a moment! Mr. Xu has something to say, Mr. Xu still has something to say -"
As the saying goes, the only way to die is through the ages. Just when Yang Zhen was about to pull the trigger of the short gun, Xu Erxian nervously stopped Yang Zhen's action and said hurriedly:
"Xiong Yuecheng, Zhang Kushan and Zhang Jing sent someone to report that you are from the Jingdong Camp in western Liaoning. However, I, Xu Erxian, have nothing to do with your Jingdong Camp. I really have no grudges from afar and no enmity recently. I don't know why Mr. Yang insisted on killing him.
Can’t you kill Xu?!”
Hearing what Xu Erxian said, Yang Zhen slightly took back the short musket in his hand, wanting to tell him that he was not the Jingdong camp, but the advance camp ordered to conquer the east.
But when Xu Erxian saw this, he didn't wait for Yang Zhen to speak, but immediately continued: "Furthermore, you said that I betrayed the imperial court, betrayed Dongjiang, took refuge in Donglu, and was willing to be a lackey, but all these things were at that time When you are desperate, you do what you have to do, just to survive!
"Back then, Shen Shikui was bent on murdering us, and the court was only listening to one side. Do we have to sit there and wait for death? Look at Hu Changhai and Gao Chengyou in front of you. What about them? They have also betrayed Dongjiang and the court. ?!And you, Yu Liangtai, are you the same as you?!
"Besides, since ancient times, good birds have chosen trees to roost, and those who understand the current affairs have always been heroes. I, Xu Erxian, just made the right choice! Based on the current situation, do you think there is still hope for Dongjiang Town? Do you think the Ming Dynasty still has hope? Is there any hope?!"
Having said this, Xu Erxian sighed and shook his head. His bright eyes became a little softer, and his tone was no longer so aggressive. There was even a smile on his face, and he looked at Yang meaningfully. said:
"As for your Jingdong camp, haha, the Jingdong camp of Commander-in-Chief Liaoxi, although Xu is ignorant, he still knows something about the situation! If others blame me for taking refuge in Donglu, that's fine! But you Jingdong Camp, haha, if you accuse me of this, Xu wants to ask, why do you have it, what face do you have!?"
After Xu Erxian said this, he looked at Yang Zhen. Although he didn't know who Yang Zhen was, since they were all from Jingdong Camp, he felt confident.
Jingdong Camp is the battalion where Zu Dashou was born and where Zu Dashou started his career. Most of the main generals in the Liaodong Army now come from this Jingdong Camp.
The western Liaoning region has been experiencing constant fighting for many years, and many battalion heads have been lost. Whether they were transferred from the customs or originally from Liaodong, they are almost gone.
Only the Jingdong Battalion continues to grow and develop, and by now it has become the largest battalion and the most direct battalion of the Liaodong Army under Zu Dashou.
Most of the generals in the Jingdong camp were besieged in Dalinghe City in the fourth year of Chongzhen's reign, and then followed Zu Dashou to open the city and surrender to Huang Taiji.
Although this situation was extremely secretive among the Manchu and Liaodong armies, for a figure like Xu Erxian, this matter was not really a secret.
Shang Kexi is currently with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but as a man who has been crowned king, he followed Huang Taiji and fought several battles on the battlefield in western Liaoning, so he still knows something about this situation.
So as a trusted general under his command, as long as Shang Kexi knew something, especially about Zu Dashou and his Liaodong Army, Xu Erxian would not be unaware of it.
It was precisely because Xu Erxian thought he knew some details about Jingdong Camp that he always had a trace of illusion deep in his heart.
"Sir! This person is Shang Kexi's trusted general. There is no chance that he and his subordinates will join us or cooperate with us! Why bother talking nonsense with them anymore and listen to their quarrels? Just kill them with one knife!"
After listening to Xu Erxian's words, Lu Pinqi knew that there was something in his words and he meant something, so he immediately persuaded Yang Zhen to kill Xu Erxian and others, so as to prevent the victory from causing further complications when the dust settled.
Lu Pinqi had been in the army in Liaodong for a long time. Although he had always been a marginal figure before, he had also heard about various military rumors related to Zu Dashou's Jingdong camp, but he found it incredible and neither dared to believe it nor wanted to get involved.
and.
At this time, he heard what Xu Erxian said, as if it was true, which shocked him and made his scalp numb.
However, Lu Pinqi's city was deep in the city. Although he was in a turmoil in his heart, he remained calm on the surface. He just persuaded Yang Zhen to take action quickly and not hesitate.
If the rumor that Zu Dashou and the Jingdong camp secretly communicated with the Donglu and stepped on two boats was confirmed by Xu Erxian, and it became known to everyone, then it would be a big trouble. I am afraid that the Songjin defense line in western Liaoning would be destroyed in the blink of an eye.
It fell apart.
Lu Pinqi was not a direct descendant of the ancestral family in Jingdong Camp, and he did not have the opportunity to follow Zu Dashou and surrender to Huang Taiji. Even if Zu Dashou's affairs were exposed, he would not be involved.
However, once these things about Zu Dashou are forced to be put on the table, no matter whether it is true or false, the result after lifting the lid is something he does not want to see.
"Hahahaha——! Don't you dare to listen to what I, Xu Erxian, dare to say? There is nothing to hide. As the saying goes, if you don't take care of yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth!
"Besides, I am a warrior, so how can I care so much? If you stay here, you worship Chongzhen, and when we get there, we worship Chongde. In the end, how big of a difference can it make?!
"To put it bluntly, since it's all about worshiping, why bother with which Buddha it is? In the end, which Buddha to worship, whether to worship him or not, is not to see if he can bless me! - Yang
Commander, tell me, is this true?"
The nonsense Xu Erxian said made Yang Zhen speechless for a moment.
Yang Zhen was thinking about what to say, but he heard Xu Erxian say: "Now the general trend of the world is very clear! Mr. Yang, don't you think about your future?!——
"General Soldier Yang, why don't you learn from your other seniors in Jingdong Camp and reserve a way out for yourself?! Even if General Soldier Yang doesn't think about yourself, don't you also think about the soldiers under your command?"
!
"Back then, when Prince Shang crossed the sea and surrendered, he wanted someone to act as a matchmaker! Today, if Mr. Yang can form a good relationship with me and give someone a way to live, and we meet again in the future, Mr. Xu will definitely be rewarded! Mr. Yang will not be able to do anything in the future.
It might as well be used for emergencies, General Yang, please think twice before proceeding!"
"Hehe, hehe, hahahaha——"
Yang Zhen patiently listened to Xu Erxian's words and couldn't help laughing. After laughing for a while, his face turned cold and he said to him:
"Xu Erxian, Xu Erxian, you'd better save your energy! I, Yang Zhen, am not the commander-in-chief of the Jingdong Camp, and the soldiers and subordinates I lead are not the soldiers of the Jingdong Camp!
"So, those words you said are of no use to me or my subordinates! Let me tell you the truth! I, Yang Zhen, lead the advance camp for the Eastern Expedition ordered by the Emperor of Heaven!
"In March, I was the one who killed Beizi Luotuo in a night attack on the north bank of the Xiaoling River. I was the one who ambushed at the mouth of the Xiaoling River and killed the Bush Xian Zhangjing Arsalan. It was also me, Yang Zhen!
"Since you told me about the general trend of the world, I will tell you clearly that I am here to change this general trend! And I will start by killing you, and I will start by killing you traitors and two Tatars!"
