Chapter 372: Benevolence and Righteousness
"Don't worry, Lord Zu, are you waiting for Dorgon's reinforcements?
You see that the official is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? Is it okay to assume that the official is cooperating with your delaying tactics? ”
Liu Hong gradually talked and laughed, and did not pay attention to the guards behind Zu Dashou who glared at him angrily.
He is indeed not afraid at all, and there is no need to be afraid, as long as he wants to, let alone two or three people, ten people can be killed with a shuttle bullet at such a close distance.
"If you want the old man to surrender, then the old man will persuade you to die of this heart!" Zu Dashou was in an irritable mood.
Especially the young man in front of him, he always looked high, as if he was inferior, which made him even more uncomfortable.
"Is Jianyu really that good to you? Have you ever regretted your decision four years ago? If this official ......," Liu Hong blurted out a series of questions.
"Didn't the old man come to your appointment to hear you say this, can what you say in your letter be true? What about people? Zu Dashou directly interrupted Liu Hongji.
What an impatient guy, Liu Hong gradually saw the old man's irritable face, just shook his head, turned his head and gestured to the masked 'guard' behind him.
The masked man seemed extremely reluctant, and slowly raised his hand to gently remove the mask.
"My son-" When Zu Qiu Qing was about to make a move, Zu Dashou had a strange feeling, and as soon as the mask was taken off, Zu Dashou immediately shouted.
Although I haven't seen him for more than four years, the sixteen-year-old child has grown up, but after all, it is his own child, and Zu Dashou still recognizes it at once.
It's just that Zu Dashou is obviously wishful thinking, because for the father in front of him, Zu Qiuqing didn't even look at him.
In fact, if it weren't for Liu Hongji's earnestness (might) and persuasion (forcibness), Zu Qiuqing would not have come to see this person at all.
In Zu Qiuqing's heart, his father died as early as the moment he left him to surrender to Qingqing.
"Zeqing! Don't you remember being a father? I'm your father! "Where is Zu Dashou still half a point of prestige just now, at this time he is just a dying old father who longs for his relatives.
Although he had four sons, the eldest, second and third had been staying in Shengjing since the Qing Dynasty, and Dolgon did not allow them to leave the city, in fact, they were hostages.
The youngest Zu Zeqing had been staying in Shanhaiguan at that time, and he did not take it with him during the Battle of Jinzhou.
Later, I heard that due to the special care of his nephew Wu Sangui, the fourth ancestor Zeqing was only detained indefinitely and was not executed, and he has always felt very guilty about this ancestor birthday.
His life was saved, but he let his three sons be locked up in Shengjing and one son in Daming.
Four years have passed, Zu Dashou thought that Zu Ze died early, after all, the Ming Dynasty is changing, and his nephew is also ......
But now that Zu Zeqing is standing in front of him intact, how can he not be shocked?
"My father died in Jinzhou four years ago, and my name is not Zu Zeqing, my name is Zu Qiuqing!" Zu Qiuqing doesn't care about the old tearful Zu Dashou, it's just a plain way.
Four years is enough to erase many memories, Zu Qiuqing thought that he would hate his biological father, but in the face of the old man in front of him, he couldn't mention that hatred.
"Qiu Qing...... Qiu Qing ...... "Zu Dashou Nan Nan said, he knows the meaning of this name, too many clansmen in the ancestral family died in the hands of Daqing.
"Your son is now the viscount of Daming!" Liu Hongjian also said lightly.
What does your new master give you?
Where did Zu Dashou have the heart to listen to Liu Hongji's ridicule, he was indeed very unsatisfactory in the Qing Dynasty, but he kept his family, continued the bloodline of the ancestral family, and was loyal and filial.
"My son is the noble of the Ming Dynasty, my son is out of ......" Zu Dashou got up and wanted to get closer to see Zu Qiuqing, but Zu Qiuqing turned his back directly and dodged.
"Master Zu, this official mainly wants to talk to you this time, to see if you still have the will to join my Daming......" Everything that should be said has been said, and everything that should be done has been done, and Liu Hongjian finally broke this layer of paper.
"Daming has no place for the old man, but I still hope that the adults will take care of my son, we will each be our own master, and there is no need to show mercy in the battle array!" Knowing that it was impossible for his son to forgive himself in a short period of time, Zu Dashou took a deep breath and said.
He has guarded the border for Daming for decades, of course he knows Chongzhen's temper, and Chongzhen is eager to crush those who betrayed him.
"It's a matter of people, today's majesty is no longer the majesty in your heart, he is broad-minded!
If Your Majesty is willing to be gracious and leave your ancestral family a way to live, then is General Zu willing to return to the Ming Dynasty? "Liu Hongchuan is still light.
Of course, everyone is happy if Zu Dashou is willing to surrender, and he is sure that he will save this guy's life, but if he refuses...... Then what he can do has been done, and he can only deeply regret what happened to this guy before.
Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, only its righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence is to the end.
This Jinzhou City, he will take it no matter what! Even if there is any obstacle, he will be overcome.
"There is no need to persuade the old man, the old man has become the laughing stock of the world, and this city is the last dignity of the old man."
Even if the courtier in front of him, who heard that the Ming Emperor was very re-educated, could really save his life, what about Sheng Jing's other three sons? The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!
Zu Dashou didn't hesitate after speaking, got up and went back to the city.
He knew that with the power of the Ming army's artillery, his end would only be to burn the city, but so what?
It is better to shroud the body of a general's horse leather and die on the battlefield than to die in prison.
Liu Hong gradually looked at the old stubborn words, he really wanted to shoot this guy suddenly, maybe ...... It's all over for all.
"If you are still obsessed, I don't have a father like you! I'm going to kill them all! Zu Qiuqing, who had been silent, suddenly turned around and shouted at Zu Dashou's back, but his eyes were already moist.
From the bottom of his heart, Zu Qiuqing still understands his father, only by really fighting on the battlefield can he understand the hardships of the generals, Zu Dashou is his biological father after all.
He knew that if he didn't stop it, he might really kill father and son.
After all, the reason why Lord An Guogong arranged this meeting was to save some trouble on the surface, but Zu Qiuqing knew in his heart that the bigger reason was actually for his consideration.
When did Grandpa Guo do useless things, he had done his best to himself and his ancestors.
Zu Dashou heard the shouts behind him, his body paused, but he didn't look back, and then crossed the moat without hesitation.
The sling was then pulled up, and the sound creaked harshly......
"My lord......" The matter was not done, and Zu Qiuqing's face was full of guilt.
"Let's go, go back and get ready to fight!" Liu Hong gradually patted Zu Qiuqing's shoulder.
