Tong Guoqi certainly understood what it meant when the feathers on his head were piled up like a hill. But even so, Chen Kai's "honesty" that he was not interested in persuading surrender really stabbed him hard in the heart.

The stinging feeling made him blurt out his anger even more.

"Chen Kai, I fell into your hands today. I think I am inferior to others, so why bother to humiliate me like this!"

Tong Guoqi still stood there with his halberd pointed and a cold eyebrow raised. Perhaps, if Chen Kai hadn't been so notorious over the years, he would have pounced on him long ago.

"Hey, Tong Fujun, given the current situation, do you think it is necessary for me to come here just to humiliate you?"

Chen Kai was as calm as ever, which was like a basin of cold water that poured cold water on Tong Guoqi. Yes, from the overall situation, the Ming army was already in danger in the southwest. In the southeast, Chen Kai had already gained the initiative with a wave of operations. This

At that time, it was time to race against time to expand the results and further change the situation of the war. There was no time to waste. What's more, they didn't have sworn hatred. This was the first time they had seen each other in these years. Tete came here.

Humiliation is really unreasonable.

This statement really made Tong Guoqi calm down a lot. Looking back carefully at Chen Kai's words just now, Chen Kai's meaning was very clear, that is, he would not persuade him to surrender, but Tong Guoqi had something that he felt had value. And this value could allow him to race against time.

He squeezed out some time to come and meet him for a while. However, the problem was that even he himself could not figure out what value he had besides his status as governor.

"Chen Kai, you can't even try to extract a single word of the imperial secrets from me."

After thinking about it, Tong Guoqi felt that since Chen Kai did not persuade him to surrender, he must be trying to get some information. After all, he was from the Tong Jia family, the most powerful official in the early Qing Dynasty. In theory, the secrets within the Qing court

He should know something. Perhaps Chen Kai is planning to use these secrets to make a big fuss.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it must be the case. As soon as he said this, his confidence seemed to have returned to his body. Unfortunately, this confidence did not last for a few breaths and was shot away by Chen Kai again.

.

"Haha, if I need to pry a few words out of your mouth, it's enough for me to just send a cool official over. Do you need to do it myself?" He smiled and shook his head. Chen Kai then said something that made Tong Guoqi even more embarrassed.

Unbelievable words came: "I am here to do business with Tong Fujun. As a sign of sincerity, I can unconditionally release you and even give you a military medal."

Hearing these words, Tong Guoqi couldn't help but be stunned. Looking closely, Chen Kai looked sincere, but it only deepened his suspicion. After all, those who have done great evil since ancient times must be wise and courageous people. Recall clearly

Ting's investigation into Chen Kai over the years has shown that he is a great traitor, a great evil, a great wisdom, and a man of great courage. How credible is the sincerity shown by such a person?

However, before Tong Guoqi could sarcastically speak, Chen Kai seemed to have already seen what he was thinking: "Don't worry, I won't leave any clues about you. After all, if you cooperate with the Tatars, no matter what the reason is, no matter what you get for it,

What, the impact on reputation is not worth the loss. As for doing business, you have to take some risks. If you don’t want to take risks and still try to make a lot of money, it is no different from waiting for a pie to fall from the sky. Let you go and give you a gift.

Military merit is an investment to me. You don’t have to keep your promise, but I believe that Tong Fujun is a smart man and can clearly distinguish the pros and cons, because for you, this will be the best opportunity to make a career in your life.

,none of them."

The word "prosperity" does not have much appeal to Tong Guoqi. He was born in the Tong Jia family. Although everyone knows that the Tong Jia family is a Jurchen, they have long been Chineseized. Even within the Eight Banners system, they are still Chinese.

The military flag, not the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Now that he has become the governor, there is really not much room for advancement. After all, there are also the princes, clansmen, Gushan Ezhen, the banner owners of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and others such as Sony and Yi Bilong.

An important minister like Ao Bai. Even if he is known as "Tong Banchao", the ceiling is at most a governor or a minister. Is it possible that Chen Kai can still let him be the regent of the emperor's father?

However, after hearing these words, Tong Guoqi did not make any scornful expression at the first time. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before regaining his cold eyebrows. However, his momentum was no longer the same.

forward.

"Don't ever let me do anything disloyal to the imperial court!"

Hearing this, Chen Kai raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a sneer: "Although Nurhachi was a son-in-law for your Tong family back then, do any of your masters still admit it? After all, this prisoner

After all, Ting's surname is Aixinjueluo, not Tong. Why bother to work so hard?"

There are many records in the late Ming Dynasty that Nurhaci was the son-in-law of the Tong family in his early years. Many records directly called Nurhaci Tong Nurhaci instead of Aixinjueluo Nurhaci. However, in the "Manuscript of Qing History", even Nurhaci was executed by Nurhaci

His biological brother Shuerhaqi has half a page of text, but the poor woman only has one short line - "Concubine Yuan, Tong Jia's surname, was the earliest to return to Taizu. Zi Er, Chu Ying, Dai Shan. Female.

"One, what is the etiquette for marrying off", that's all. Regarding her background, life, personality, cause of death and burial place, these are all the things that must be written in the "Biography of the Concubines" and other records about the concubines.

Nothing.

Chen Kai remembered that when he saw this almost negligible record, he couldn't help but think of an old incident. In his later years, Nurhaci once threw Li Yongfang, the first general who was demoted, into prison, and while beating him with his own hands, he cried and scolded Li.

Yongfang said, "I know you just look down on me." His inferiority complex has reached a level that makes people laugh and cry. In this way, it would be logical to let the record of being a son-in-law disappear without a trace. Even, if it weren't for

The existence of Chu Ying and Dai Shan, if these two sons had not been his heirs and generals at one time, and would have been passed down by blood to later generations, there are too many historical materials involved, and I am afraid that even these pitiful twenty-three

All words will be deleted.

Since this old incident involves Nurhachi's terrible past, now, the Aixinjueluo family is unwilling to mention it, and the Tong family naturally does not dare to mention it, but Chen Kai can blatantly bring it out to stab people. Not that it is.

I just want to remind Tong Guoqi that there is an essential difference between you, Tong Jia, and other Manchu nobles.

At this moment, his sarcasm fell on Tong Guoqi's ears, and he inevitably became angry. The next second, he retorted almost without thinking: "The puppet dynasty is not named Chen, and you, Chen Kai, have worked hard all these years.

for what!"

Prosperity and wealth, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, defense of Huayi, and Tong Guoqi blurted out. He guessed that Chen Kai's answer was just to choose one or more of these. However, after hearing such retorts, Chen Kai

He snorted coldly and sat up straight again, his whole person's momentum suddenly rising.

"Unlike Nurhaci, I have never been shy about my downfall. However, in the first year of Yongli, I landed on Nan'ao Island to serve the country's surnamed master. Starting from a small workshop in charge of a dozen craftsmen, to this day, on the 11th

Only a few years ago, I am already one of the most powerful feudal officials in the world. Even the imperial court, which still has most of the world, will never dare to look down upon me, let alone the emperor. In the future, when the Ming Dynasty is revived, I will join the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister.
