Chapter 511 Take it
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, Duduo's eyes suddenly opened a little wider, staring at Emperor Chongzhen with a fierce look in his eyes, and he was mumbling something in his throat.
Yang Zhen glanced at Emperor Chongzhen and saw Emperor Chongzhen nodding towards him. Knowing what he meant, he stepped forward and held down Doduo's head, and forcefully tore off the cloth that was tightly tied around Doduo's mouth.
Yang Zhen's method was simple and crude, and Dodo's mouth was full of blood and he kept coughing, but it made Dodo's energy a little better.
Taking advantage of Duduo's huffing and puffing, Emperor Chongzhen once again asked him the previous questions loudly.
At this time, Duduo gathered enough strength to raise his head and replied: "Yes, I am Duduo, the king of Duoluoyu County in the Qing Dynasty and the owner of Manchuria's white flag! I heard that in ancient times, when the two countries were at war, they didn't kill each other.
Envoy, your Ming Dynasty is known as a land of etiquette, why do you insult me like this?!"
Duduo stared, his eyes were about to burst. Although he tried his best to speak, his voice was hoarse and low. The tone was not high-pitched, but instead added a bit of sadness.
After saying these words, Dodo was out of breath. The wound under his left ribs that had not healed for a long time began to feel a sharp and piercing pain again.
This bullet wound that brought him endless torture had already made him miserable and miserable.
Moreover, having been in a high position for a long time, he certainly knew some of the rules of offering prisoners. He knew that when he arrived here today, he would definitely be in bad luck, so he simply stayed single and tried to die with some dignity.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
After hearing what Duduo said clearly, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly burst into laughter and looked up to the sky with great joy.
At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care what Duduo said about a state of etiquette. He smiled for a while, then suddenly stopped smiling, looked at Duduo with a sinister look, gritted his molars and said:
"Very good, very good, as long as you are Duduo!"
Emperor Chongzhen's reaction made Yang Zhen, who was following him, a little stunned for a moment. This Ming Emperor, who had just made Yang Zhen feel like a spring breeze, made him feel a chill down his spine in just an instant.
Emperor Chongzhen was suspicious and fickle, indeed it was not a myth!
But after Emperor Chongzhen said this, he no longer paid attention to Duduo, but asked again: "Which one is the slave and pseudo-clan auxiliary to the Duke of Tunqi?"
At this time, Tunqi, who was kneeling not far behind Duduo, immediately kowtowed to the ground like pounding garlic. He also had a red cloth tied around his mouth and could not speak clearly.
But looking at that look, everyone, including Emperor Chongzhen, knew that this Tunqi did not have the backbone of Duduo, and that look was clearly asking for forgiveness.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw that Tun Qi looked like this, he smiled slightly, turned to Yang Zhen, nodded, and signaled Yang Zhen to take off the cloth from Tun Qi's mouth.
Yang Zhen understood and immediately stepped forward and followed the same instructions as he did to Duoduo.
Sure enough, when Yang Zhengang pulled the strip of cloth from Tun Qi's mouth, he heard the young Manchu Tatar clan's auxiliary Duke bowing his head on the ground, shouting and begging for mercy:
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has learned a lesson! Although the slave Aixinjueluo Tunqi has the title of Duke of the Auxiliary Kingdom of the Qing Dynasty, he is not the descendant of Nuerhachi. Moreover, the slave's grandfather Shuerhaqi was even enslaved by Nuerhachi.
The one who was imprisoned until death! Slave—"
This Tunqi man was not seriously injured when he was captured outside Lushun City.
At the same time, after he was captured, he never sought death and was quite cooperative in all aspects.
Therefore, on the way from Lushunkou to Songshan City, and then from Songshan City to the capital, he did not suffer any torture, and his physical condition was much better than that of Duduo.
Therefore, when he spoke to Emperor Chongzhen at this moment, he spoke with sufficient energy and loudness, and his words were clear and clear.
He first talked about his relationship with Nuerhachi, intending to clear up some of the blame, then changed the topic and kowtowed to the ground with a little cry:
"This slave is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. I ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to be magnanimous, show favor to the slave, and forgive the slave's sins!"
As soon as Tun Qi said these words, Jin Weicheng, Tong Tulai, Wu Shojin and other Eight Banners Han soldiers, including Jin Weicheng and Kneeling behind Tun Qi, all kowtowed and begged for mercy, imitating Tun Qi's example.
But their mouths were also tied with cloth, and they could only make purring sounds.
As for what he was talking about, Yang Zhen, Emperor Chongzhen and his entourage could guess roughly without having to listen to an interpreter.
In fact, what Tunqi said was quite right. He was indeed not the descendant of Nuerhaci, but the grandson of Shuerhaqi, Nuerhaci's younger brother.
And Shuerhaqi did die in the hands of Nuerhaci because of the crime of rebellion.
The Ming Dynasty originally did not know much about the internal situation of the Eastern Lu, because after fighting for so many years, they always lost more than they won. Even if they won the battle, they rarely captured the upper echelons of the Eastern Lu Tatars or other high-ranking officials.
But after all the wars had been fought for so many years, the people in the court who claimed to know the military had accumulated what they knew over the years, and finally had some understanding of the enemy situation in Liaodong.
After Yang Chaojin took charge of Songshan and became the supervisor of the army, Yang Zhen began to consciously instill a lot of information about the upper class of the Manchu Qing Dynasty into Emperor Chongzhen through Yang Chaojin and Xiangdongchang.
Accordingly, through Fang Guangchen, he conveyed a lot of enemy information about the Manchu Tatars to Fang Yizao, Zhang Ruolin and Chen Xinjia.
At this time, these things naturally had some effect. When Tun Qi said this, everyone suddenly felt at ease and stopped asking about the ins and outs.
At the same time, Duduo, who had just been personally questioned and confirmed by Emperor Chongzhen, turned his head with difficulty, fiercely directed at Tunqi not far behind him, and mumbled a Jurchen tongue.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen was not angry at all, but instead laughed happily again.
The scene before him was what he had been looking forward to for many years. He had been looking forward to this day since he unexpectedly became emperor.
The longer I have been emperor, the more eager I am to look forward to this day.
It's just that the longer he serves as emperor, the clearer he becomes and realizes that this hope is getting slimmer.
Therefore, when this day suddenly arrived, the excitement in Emperor Chongzhen's heart was even more difficult to describe.
This is also an important reason why he, who has always followed the rules, came down from the Meridian Gate Tower and, with the dignity of the Ming Emperor, personally came to the Manchu Tatar prisoners to question them.
For him, it was such a fulfilling and satisfying event that was destined to leave a mark in the history books. How could he not come to the scene in person!
"Erzu Erzong, Jianzhou bitch, our Ming Dynasty expelled the Meng Yuan from Liaodong, and Fang taught you that you could turn around and be a good man. Since Hongwu and Yongle, you have been nurtured by my Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, but you have no ambitions at all.
You darlings, not only do you not want to serve, but instead raise armies and create chaos, you are even more greedy and want to shake the tree like a worm, intending to backfire on our great Ming Dynasty. Although I am magnanimous, how can I be kind to you and others?!"
After Emperor Chongzhen said these words, he turned back to see the commander of the Jinyi Guards who was following the crowd behind him, and was about to issue an order to take the captives in front of him for execution.
However, just before Emperor Chongzhen opened his mouth to speak again, Duduo, who had just scolded Tunqi, suddenly burst out laughing, his laughter as hoarse and as shrill as a night owl.
Duduo's laughter interrupted Emperor Chongzhen's cheerful words, which made Emperor Chongzhen extremely unhappy for a moment. He immediately darkened his face, turned around and stared at him, and said coldly:
"Since ancient times, the emperors have ruled the world, and they have always stayed in China to control the barbarians, and the barbarians have lived outside to serve China. How dare you, the barbarians and beasts, who are crowned by monkeys, claim to be the rulers of the country, and invade Zhongxia?! Is there such a great rebellion?
It is a capital crime without forgiveness!"
What Emperor Chongzhen said did not calm Duduo at all.
On the contrary, after hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, Duduo not only showed no fear at all, but became even more arrogant. He looked up at Emperor Chongzhen with contempt and said:
"Hehehehe, since I am bound here today, you are free to decide what is right and wrong. But in the end, it is just death. How can I, Duduo, be afraid of you?!"
"Be bold!"
"Palm mouth!"
Doduo spoke like this in front of Emperor Chongzhen, which was of course an extremely rude and rude act. Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, the ministers following Emperor Chongzhen immediately started shouting, and some even ordered the guards around the emperor.
The Jin Yiwei stepped forward and slapped his mouth to stop Duduo from speaking any more.
However, the shouts of the ministers were quickly stopped by Emperor Chongzhen with a wave of his hand.
Taking advantage of this moment, Duduo, who was no longer paying attention to everyone's reactions, laughed for a while, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen, whose face was as gloomy as water:
"What's ridiculous is that you, the emperor, only talk big words and have no idea of the general trend of the world. Open your eyes and look at your world. You kill me today, but you don't know who will kill you tomorrow?!"
After Dodo said these words, as if he had fulfilled a wish, he actually laughed, his voice was hoarse, low, and very harsh.
Emperor Chongzhen, who was trembling with anger, could no longer hold back the anger overflowing in his chest. He immediately flew into a rage, pointed at Duduo with his finger, and shouted:
Chapter completed!
