Chapter 1129 I'm going home

"King Gongshun asks for more blessings," Xu Erxian laughed, "Shengjing City is under siege, Dolgon is too busy to take care of himself, he should have given up Liaonan and Tokyo, poor King Gongshun is still waiting for the Manchu cavalry?" ”

Kong Youde pointed his finger at Xu Erxian and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, it's just disturbing the morale of the army!"

"Respectfully to the king, brothers of the heavenly soldiers at the head of the city, but anyone with a little brain, should think that Dolgon has not sent troops to reinforce Tokyo for so long, is he willing to give up Tokyo? Tokyo, Tokyo, the capital of the Manchus in the east, lose Tokyo, and the Manchus will collapse in half......"

Kong Youde thought to himself, maybe what Xu Erxian said was right, Shengjing had obviously changed, otherwise, Shengjing was only one hundred and fifty miles away from Tokyo, and the cavalry could reach it in one day.

Why has Shengjing not moved? The regent must be in trouble.

"King Gongshun, the Mandate of Heaven Army has already sent a message to the city of Tokyo, the Mandate of Heaven Army will only kill the first evil like King Gongshun and King Huaishun, and the rest can be spared, if there is meritorious service, there will be a reward," Xu Erxian's words were actually said to the soldiers at the head of the city, "The Mandate of Heaven Army has not slaughtered the city in Haizhou, that is, Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and Guangning, the Mandate of Heaven Army has been in charge for three years, has it ever slaughtered a Han person?" The emperor is sympathetic to the Han people, as long as he is willing to go home, the emperor will not only not punish him, but also distribute land, plough cattle, and help the soldiers and people settle down. Brothers of the Heavenly Blessed Soldiers, the muzzles of the Heavenly Mandate Army will only be directed at the Tartars......"

The city was quiet, and the soldiers had received a secret message, as long as the Han people in Liaodong went home, Huaxia would not be to blame for the past, and they would settle their lives well, ensuring that every citizen "had food, clothing, housing, and land", but they only listened to the wind.

Tokyo is not a border, the Mandate of Heaven Army will not fight, there are Qing cavalry along the way, even if they want to return to their hometown, there is no way out.

Today, however, the Mandate of Heaven has arrived in the city......

These problems are put forward again, and they are very real problems.

What to do?

Kong Youde sneered: "Xu Erxian, do you think that your few words can incite the soldiers and people in the city? ”

"Gongshun Wang, the emperor did say that you have committed a great crime, and the Heavenly Mandate Army will not let you go," Xu Erxian slowed down his speech and said: "However, the emperor is kind-hearted, if the Gongshun King makes meritorious contributions to Huaxia, it is not impossible for the emperor to change his mind and let you go, at least the emperor will let your family go." ”

Kong Youde snorted coldly, "This king eats the Qing Dynasty's Yulu, how can he care about the emperor of Huaxia?" ”

Xu Erxian waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him handed over a package, he opened it layer by layer, and showed it to the city, "Brothers of the Heavenly Blessing Soldiers, you have a good look, this is the head of King Zhishun Shang Kexi, and it is also the result of his obsession, the emperor has already given you a way to live, follow Kong Youde, follow the Tartars, in the end it is just a dead end, your family will also follow the burial, and there will be no one left who burns paper for your ancestors in the future, your wife and daughter...... Can you bear to watch your wives and daughters become slaves to others? ”

There was an uproar in the city, although Shang Kexi's head could not be seen very clearly, but Haizhou City was broken, and Shang Kexi was killed, it should be very possible, Xu Erxian did not need to take out a forged head to deceive here.

Shang Kexi died...... Xu Erxian is a naked threat!

One of Kong Youde's personal guards couldn't stand it, so he opened his bow and shot an arrow at the city, "Xu Erxian, see if you dare to bewitch the crowd again!"

Unfortunately, the arrow landed far in front of Xu Erxian, almost at the midpoint between the city wall and Xu Erxian.

Xu Erxian smiled contemptuously, took a rifle from the hands of the soldiers beside him, did not aim, quickly pulled the trigger, and with a "bang", a bullet flew towards the city and whistled over Kong Youde's head.

Kong Youde was taken aback, and there were already guards who protected him at the core.

Xu Erxian laughed, "Brothers of the Heavenly Blessing Soldiers, everyone is Han, why bother to work for the Tartars?" The emperor has a decree to dedicate the city of Tokyo to reward two hundred taels of silver, and to offer Kong Youde's head, a hundred taels of silver, sorry, Kong Youde's head is only worth one hundred taels, Tokyo City and Kong Youde's head are all in the bag of the Mandate of Heaven, and the emperor is just giving you a chance to reform yourself and make meritorious contributions. ”

Kong Youde was furious, Lao Tzu's head was only worth one hundred taels? He pointed at Xu Erxian with a trembling finger, and said tremblingly: "Xu Erxian, don't be too complacent, Lao Tzu will cut off your head sooner or later." ”

"King Gongshun doesn't have to worry about the general, the general has joined the Heavenly Mandate Army, and now it's safe, you still have to worry about your head," Xu Erxian laughed and shouted to the soldiers in the city: "Brothers of the Heavenly Blessing Soldiers, the city wall is crumbling and may collapse at any time, we just can't bear to lose our lives, so we just give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, are you still obsessed, accompany Kong Youde, and accompany the martyrdom of Tokyo City?" You are all Han Chinese, and the Tartars have always regarded you as a coat, are you worthy of being loyal to the Tartars? The Mandate of Heaven is about to break through Tokyo, and the next target is Shengjing, don't you understand? ”

Xu Erxian shouted loudly for so long, his voice was a little hoarse, he shook his head and sighed, he had already said that there was no need to talk to these fools, but the general did not believe it, these Han people in Liaodong have been ruled by the Tartars for many years, and their hearts have long been numb, they only have interests, no concepts, and they will not understand the national and national righteousness......

The city fell silent again, and even Kong Youde was thoughtful.

Time seems to have stood still, and there was a brief harmony between the city and the city, but the hearts of the soldiers of the Heavenly Blessing Soldier seemed to have changed, just like a fire that had just been lit, the color was very light, and it was not even appropriate to notice, but it was gathering energy, as long as time continued, it would eventually burn into a raging fire......

The soldiers of the Heavenly Blessing Soldiers are all facing the city, and their current enemy is naturally Xu Erxian outside the city, and the inside of the city should be the direction of the back.

"Whoosh"!

Just when everyone was immersed in thought, an arrow suddenly shot out from the direction of the city, the arrow was originally aimed at Kong Youde, but it was blocked by the personal soldiers, and the personal guard was shot in the back of the neck and came out through the body.

Without waiting for Kong Youde to react, in the direction where the arrow was shot, someone shouted: "Kill Kong Youde, I want to go home......"

"Go home ......"

Many soldiers of the Heavenly Blessing Soldiers, their hearts moved suddenly, as if they had been hit by invisible stones, and in order to survive, their hearts that had been numb for more than ten years seemed to be revived all of a sudden.

Kong Youde's subordinate Tianyou soldiers, mainly from the four guards in southern Liaoning, at first with Mao Wenlong based on Phi Island, near the Yalu River to fight the Tartars, is part of the Dongjiang Army, after Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, the Dongjiang Army deteriorated, Kong Youde fled by sea to Dengzhou, Shandong, rebelled in Dengzhou, and recruited some bankrupt military households and civilians in Dengzhou.

Although Liaonan is close at hand, they can't go home, at this time, Liaonan has been ploughed by the Tartars, and it has been unrecognizable, they are going home, I am afraid they will not be able to find the original village.

But the Han people's sense of root-seeking is too strong, and this feeling becomes stronger as they get older, even if they go home to see the hillsides, rivers, and ponds where they frolicked in their childhood.

In the city of Tokyo, the soldiers did not worry about food, and they were suppressed by Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, so they naturally did not dare to think about it, that is, when they thought of their hometown in the dead of night, no one dared to say it clearly.

But today, in the city, someone shouted "I want to go home" in public, as if a bomb was dropped in their hearts, igniting the most unforgettable thoughts in their hearts!

What Kong Youde didn't expect was that the Mandate of Heaven army was coming to the city, and the soldiers' awe of Kong Youde was one less layer.

I want to go home!

Although the soldiers did not make a sound, they were already shouting in their hearts.

Although the assassination of Kong Youde's personal guards took place, the soldiers were silent, and the assassins were not their opponents, but their guides!

Kong Youde turned around and glanced coldly, but he didn't see the assassin.

"Kill Kong Youde, and we can go home!"

"The Mandate of Heaven Army has recovered Liaonan, and now it's coming to pick us up!"

The voice came from a corner of the room that was not clear, and it was clearly not a person.

Kong Youde seemed to understand something, and was about to open his mouth, when several arrows were shot out of the city, and the crowd was suddenly in chaos, Kong Youde's personal guards nervously guarded Kong Youde, but the ordinary soldiers were indifferent, as if they were watching the excitement.

Several guards rushed towards the source of the arrows and were stopped by Kong Youde.

"Kill Kong Youde!"

"Open the gates!"

"Still not doing it?"

From the hidden place in the corner of the house, several people dressed in people's clothes rushed out, regardless of rushing towards Kong Youde, Kong Youde's personal guards, immediately divided a few people to meet him, leaving a few people to protect Kong Youde.

Among the soldiers of the Heavenly Blessing Soldiers, one of them suddenly took off the bow and arrow on his shoulder, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the person to shoot an arrow quickly, hitting the back of Kong Youde's head, Kong Youde stumbled, almost fell, one arm around the guard, only barely stabilized his body, he slowly turned around, wanting to see who put the arrow.

There was a bow thrown on the ground, still beating slowly, but around the bow, the curved bow on the soldier's shoulder was still there.

Kong Youde raised his head, but he felt a sharp pain in his neck, his head tilted, and he slammed into the ground......

"Lord Wang......" Kong Youde's personal soldiers didn't care about fighting, and they all gathered around.

"Kong Youde is dead, kill ......"

Among the Tianyou soldiers, I don't know who shouted, and the soldiers who were already stunned mechanically pulled out their waist knives and rushed towards Kong Youde's personal guards......

There were many people who were bold, and the Tianyou soldiers were swordsmany, and within a moment, Kong Youde's personal soldiers were all slaughtered.

The moment the south gate was opened, at the corner of a thatched hut under the city, a soldier of the Heavenly Blessing Soldier with blood on his left leg said cautiously: "Adult, the villain is seriously injured, adults must not leave the villain......

"Don't worry, you are already a member of our Northern Division, how can we abandon our brother?" A man who looked like a common man pulled out a bandage from his waist and tied his wound, "We have completed the task, and the affairs in the city will be handed over to the Heavenly Mandate Army, let's go, the Northern Division will ask for credit for us!"

Two men who looked like ordinary people, holding the wounded soldier, limped away.
