Chapter 578: Proper Arrangement
After a long journey, the two families, Dexik and Duerhu, took the ship of the Tang Army sailors disguised as a smuggling ship, and finally prepared to enter the port of Dengzhou from the sea.
Before entering the port of Dengzhou, their vessels were inspected by the sailors' patrol vessels before they were allowed to enter.
Subsequently, the bird boat carrying them, like a small fish, carefully passed through the dense ships of the Tang Army sailors in the port of Dengzhou, and then entered the water city in the north of Dengzhou, and finally landed here, completing this long journey.
After the two families went ashore from the wharf, there were soldiers entering the city to report, and they all stayed outside the north gate of Dengzhou to wait for news.
While waiting, looking at Dengzhou City, which was full of lofty and grand precautionary measures in front of them, everyone was amazed.
"This Dengzhou City is really majestic, so grand and strong, but it is much stronger than Shengjing City, the first fortified city in the Qing Dynasty." Dirk couldn't help but admire.
"Yes, I heard that such a majestic city was successfully built by Lord Li, the king of Pingliao, with the strength of his own efforts, which is really breathtaking." Du Erhu also looked emotional.
Soon, the soldiers who entered the city came to the Pingliao Palace, and reported to Li Xiaoyu about the arrival of Dekesik and Duerhu.
Hearing the news from his subordinates, Li Xiao, who was originally preparing to lead the army the next day, couldn't help but feel inexplicable emotion in his heart.
Unexpectedly, since he was forced to come to himself in order to escape for his life, and now, as his strength is getting stronger and stronger, there are Qing court clans who have taken the initiative to defect to him.
Li Xiao thought about it for a while, and finally decided to take a break. In fact, it doesn't matter whether Li Xiao sees or doesn't see these powerless Aixin Jueluo clans who have come to take refuge with him now, but for the purpose of winning over people's hearts and dividing the enemy, Li Xiao still decided to meet them in person.
In this way, firstly, it shows that he is broad-minded and soft-minded, and secondly, after such a thing is introduced into the Qing Dynasty in the future, it can better shake and influence more Qing court clans, and promote the entire Qing court clan to further fall apart.
Li Xiao made up his mind, and immediately ordered that the chief Chen Zilong personally take them into Dengzhou City on behalf of himself to show his respect, and he himself received them in the meeting hall of the Pingliao Palace.
Chen Zilong went as promised, followed the soldiers out of the city, and saw from a distance that Dexik, Du Erhu and others were pointing to Dengzhou City with admiration, and kept saying words of admiration.
Chen Zilong walked over, and some soldiers introduced them to Deksik, this is Chen Zilong, the chief strategist under Lord Li's account, who has come to bring them into the city.
Hearing that Chen Zilong was in such a high position and power on Li Xiao's account, everyone suddenly attached great importance to him, and they wanted to pay their respects, but Chen Zilong stopped with a smile.
"You have come all the way to join us, Lord Li, but you have a broad vision and a very long-term vision. It's been a smooth journey. Chen Zilong smiled.
"Lord Praise Painting, I waited for this journey, thanks to the Tang Army soldiers who took care of them all the way, although the journey was bumpy and hard, but it was still very smooth, but it was Lord Li's meticulous arrangement, I have to thank you first." Dixik quickly straightened his position and replied appropriately.
Seeing his respectful attitude, Du Erhu and the others also looked eager, Chen Zilong was secretly proud of these Qing court clans that were invincible in the Qing Dynasty in the past, but now they are downcast to the enemy.
However, on the surface, he still behaved very politely and easy-going, and after a few words of greeting, after getting a general understanding of the names and surnames of Deksik and Duerhu, he said in a calm and cordial tone: "Okay guys, no more gossip. We, Lord Li, were also very happy to hear that you were coming, and sent Chen to take you to the Pingliao Palace, and the Pingliao King wanted to meet you personally. “
Hearing that Li Xiao, the king of Pingliao, was going to meet him in person, everyone became more and more excited, and after saying a bunch of words of thanks, they followed Chen Zilong all the way into the city.
When they entered the city, they saw that the streets were wide and the scale was neat, and at a glance, it looked like a huge barracks, full of troops who were preparing to board and set off, and there were many warehouses and shops in the city that were so tall that they felt small, and there were many auxiliaries and civilians who were eagerly and nervously carrying ordnance and food from it, like ants moving, all the way out of the north gate to load the ship.
Everyone looked all the way, and they couldn't help but sigh in their mouths, especially Du Erhu's two younger brothers, Murhu and Telhu, saw this Dengzhou City, which was like a super military camp, and their eyes were almost straight.
Chen Zilong led them through the outer city, and then into the inner city, and everyone walked on a wide and straight street with all kinds of government offices on both sides, and finally, after a few more turns, they came to a large-scale palace.
Seeing this extremely vast and magnificent palace, and then looking at the vermilion lacquer copper riveting gate, the plaque of the Pingliao Palace with a blue background in Phnom Penh, and the two huge stone lions at the door that were almost two people high, everyone secretly admired it again, and then followed Chen Zilong into the mansion.
Along the way, I saw that the pavilions were scattered, the houses were continuous, and everyone walked through the alleys all the way, and finally came to the meeting hall where Li Xiao was accustomed to seeing guests after bypassing a huge glass screen.
When everyone entered the hall, they immediately saw that on an official hat chair in the middle of the council room, a man of about thirty years of age, handsome, magnificent, wearing a golden green jade crown and a bright red python robe and jade belt, was sitting on it with a smile on his face.
Dexik, Du Erhu and others all knew in their hearts that this person must be Li Xiao, the king of Pingliao, so they didn't wait for Chen Zilong to speak, and immediately knelt on the ground.
At this time, Li Xiao, who was originally sitting opposite him, got up with a smile, took a few steps forward, and helped everyone up.
Listening to Li Xiao's words, Dexik and the others took advantage of the situation, and everyone's eyes looking at Li Xiao were full of awe, looking at their expressions, as if this Li Xiao in front of them was not a person, but a high god.
At this time, Chen Zilong briefly explained their names to Li Xiao's Low Geological Bureau, and Li Xiao nodded slightly to show his understanding.
Chen Zilong then beckoned everyone to sit down in the council hall and serve tea. After everyone sat down, Li Xiao smiled and casually asked everyone about their journey, and Dexik respectfully thanked Li Xiao for helping him escape this time.
Li Xiao saw that Dexik replied respectfully and politely, and spoke Chinese fluently, and he didn't feel that he liked this young man a little, he looked at Dexik and said meaningfully: "Dixik, I think that at the beginning, this king and your father fought to the death in Jinjiazhuang Fort on the north road of Xuanfu Town, and they were like incomprehensible enemies with each other, but they never thought that today, as his eldest son, you would go all the way to this king, and such a fate is a pity. “
Seeing Li Xiao mention this past, Dexik's face showed shame, he lowered his head and muttered: "King Pingliao, the past disputes between you and your father are each their own master, and my father and your department are actually helpless. It's just that do you know what my father said to Zai Xia when he was killed by Huang Taiji? “
When Li Xiao heard him say this, he became interested, and hurriedly asked, "What did Derge say, but it doesn't matter if you say it." “
Dexik sighed: "Before my father died, because of poisoning, he died extremely painfully, but he was still conscious, at that time, he took the hand of the subordinate and told the subordinate that if the persecution of the emperor Taiji is too great in the future, or when the Qing Dynasty is in danger of civil strife, I need to lead the people to leave the Qing court immediately, go to the Ming realm, and go to Lord Li, which is the fundamental plan to save the family." My father also said that the only person who can avenge him in the future is you, Master Li......"
When Dirk said this, he was quite emotional, and his eyes were no longer red.
After Li Xiao listened, his face also showed a contemplative look, he secretly thought, this Derge, he made the move of letting his eldest son Dexik come to join him, and said that in the future, the only one who can cause the emperor Taiji to die is himself, his view of the current situation is still very accurate, and his vision is quite impressive.
Li Xiao looked around at everyone, looked at Dexik with burning eyes, and said softly: "Dixik, your Ama is right, that Huang Taiji can be said to have died at the hands of Ben." Because just yesterday, this king received a wire report from Liaodong, telling this king that Huang Taiji was on the way back to the east, in the land of Fushun, and he was dying. “
Hearing Li Xiao's words, everyone was shocked.
Isn't it, this Huang Taiji really died like this?
Particularly shocked was Dixik, who sighed in his heart, if this is the case, it is really heaven's way to pay it back......
At this time, Li Xiao's voice came coldly again: "However, this king also heard a version, that is, when this emperor Taiji arrived in Fushun, because he suddenly regained his senses, he was killed by Dolgon, who was bent on monopolizing power. This kind of death, in the eyes of this king, is also very likely. “
Dexik replied with a wry smile: "King Pingliao, to be honest, I have escaped from Qingjing and come to join you, my lord, whether this Emperor Taiji is dead or alive in the end, and I have already looked down on it." However, the king of Pingliao can avenge this blood revenge for his father, and he is really grateful, and he can't repay it. “
Li Xiao waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Dexik, you are still young, and your future future, as long as you are good at life, but there is no limit, but you don't know, are you willing to work for this king like your cousin Ebbilun?" “
Seeing that Li Xiao was unexpectedly trying to recruit himself, Dixik was stunned, but he still bowed his head and replied: "Lord Li, let's be honest, since my uncle and my father died so cruelly at the hands of Huang Taiji, I have already looked down on this politics and struggle, and I really have no intention of fighting for any more fame and future." Besides, my father also said that as long as I can live smoothly with my wife and children, it is his greatest wish, and Dixik, as the eldest son, will not obey it. “
Listening to Dirkic's words, Li Xiao sighed, which was a response.
However, in Li Xiao's heart, his words were mostly meant to soothe, and it was not necessarily necessary to recruit him. After all, now that the Tang army is strong and strong, and the momentum is extremely strong, if Dexik Jia does not join, it will actually be useless, but it can better attract people's hearts.
So, Li Xiao thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "Okay, there is a way, everyone has their own ambitions, who can be forced, since Dexik you are tired of political affairs and war, this king will follow your wishes." From now on, you and your children will change their surnames to virtue, regain their Chinese names, wear Hanfu, follow Han customs, and then raise them in Dengzhou for a period of time, and then the whole family will go to Australia to settle down. Now that the land of Australia has just been developed, after all, you are a Qing court clan, and your family is rich, and you will definitely be able to make a lot of achievements if you go there. “
Li Xiao's words were very calm and calm, but in Dixik's opinion, they were like thunder, which made him shudder in his heart.
Okay, Li Xiao's short words completely cut off his relationship with the Aixin Jueluo family, and from now on, he is a Han with the surname De, and his children and wives are all going to become Han, and he has no contact with the Manchurian tribe from now on.
Then, like the Babu Sea that surrendered to Li Xiao before, he will go to the distant and wild Australia to settle down, and from then on settle down in that far southern, and reproduce his descendants, although this arrangement is not unexpected, but it really makes him a little disappointed.
Because Diksik also knows that this time, I am afraid that it will be eternal life, and it will be difficult to return to the homeland of Manchuria, alas, such an ending, I really don't know, whether it is lucky or unlucky......
It's a pity that Li Xiao's short sentence seems to be plain, but it is full of indescribable majesty and determination, so that he doesn't have any courage and ability to discriminate at all.
However, if you really want to obey Li Xiao's arrangement like this, you have brought so much wealth here, whether you buy land or open a store in the future, you will definitely be able to live a very comfortable and comfortable life in Australia. What's more, Australia has been peaceful for a long time, and it is a happy land to live in peace.
As soon as Dexik groaned, his face was full of smiles, and he arched his hand to Li Xiao and said, "Lord Li has thought about it very well, and I am very grateful to Lord Li for this arrangement. “
Li Xiao snorted, and his eyes fell on Du Erhu, who had been bowing his head and being silent, and he said softly: "You are Du Erhu, the eldest son of Anping Belle Dudu, right?" “
Seeing that Li Xiao was asking himself, Du Erhu hurriedly replied in a somewhat stiff Chinese: "King Yuping Liao, it is Du Erhu, the eldest son of Anping Belle, these two are my brothers, Murhu and Telhu. “
Li Xiao nodded, but his face was full of condensation, and he said lightly: "Du Erhu, this king wants to tell you that after Du Du's death, your Eniang Wuma Lama, as well as the wives and concubines of Anping Baylor, have all committed suicide, and the entire staff of Anping Baylor Mansion have also been dismissed and left. “
Hearing Li Xiao's words, Du Erhu had a shocked expression on his face, while the wife next to him, as well as his two younger brothers, Mu Erhu and Telhu, cried bitterly.
