Chapter 870: Expanding Timur
Yang Youji saw that he had a hard mouth, so he lifted a pair of hammers, shook them in front of him, and asked, "You should be familiar with this thing, right?" I usually use it for others, but today you can taste it yourself? ”
When Wei Zhong saw it, his heart trembled. This thing pinching people's fingers can make people feel painful, and it is the most commonly used torture tool in the edict prison, but it is easy to use to clamp others, and it is not fun to clip yourself.
Yang Youji picked up another soldering iron and instructed his subordinates: "Find some charcoal, make a fire, and I'll try to stamp this friend ......."
Wei Zhong gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, turned his head, and wailed in his heart: What is this called, the dignified brocade clothes Wei Qianhu, but he has become a prisoner, and he has to accept the torture tools he is most familiar with. He seemed to see the smoke and sizzling sound of the hot soldering iron pressing against his skin, and a fear slowly rose from the bottom of his heart.
As a good young man in the new era, Xia Nan did not have the heavy taste of watching executions, and he slowly paced out of the execution room. When he went out, he was blown by the wind, his mind calmed down, and he immediately thought of a problem, and hurriedly called Huang Mengjia and ordered in a low voice: "Send a few people to keep an eye on Murong Longcheng, don't let him run away." "If nothing else, the mystery of Murong Longcheng's life experience will be solved, and if it is an enemy, you must be prepared in advance.
Huang Mengjia rubbed his hands and nodded, "Understood." "Turned around and went.
There were hysterical screams and scoldings from inside, and a smell of burnt flesh came out, and Xia Nan fanned it with his palm, trying to dispel the unpleasant smell.
Although Yang Youji is not a professional poor person, he is calm enough and can do it, and in less than half an hour, Wei Zhong has been tortured by him. He said coldly: "What is there to cover up for the Qin criminals, the people you want to investigate are also the people we suspect, to a certain extent, our goals are the same, why do you have to carry it?" ”
Wei Zhong looks vicious, and he is a brocade-clothed Wei Qianhu, but in fact, his psychology is very fragile, and after experiencing two or three torture instruments, he is on the verge of collapse. was said by Yang Youji, and felt that it was not unreasonable: it was just a Qin criminal, and exposing his information would not cause any substantial loss to Jinyiwei, so why let yourself suffer?
He held back the pain, groaned and asked, "If I do, can you let me go?" ”
Yang Youji shook his head: "This is not for me to decide, I can only guarantee that you can suffer less." As he spoke, he stretched out the hot soldering iron again.
Wei Zhong tilted his face back as much as he could, avoiding the terrible thing, but the heat still scorched the hairs on his face. At this moment, he made a decision: Lao Tzu is not topped, and he is worthy of this flying fish suit if he lasts so long.
"Get this thing out of the way, I say!"
Xia Nan, who was waiting outside, was not disappointed, and half an hour later, Yang Youji came out and whispered something in his ear.
"So that's ......" Xia Nan nodded, "Let's go, go see Murong Dragon City." ”
Murong Longcheng sat quietly in a private room, seemingly unaware that there were several soldiers outside the door who were actually watching.
Summer Minami walked in, Yang Yuki and the others were waiting outside, and only Shimazu Chiyo followed.
Murong Longcheng got up and poured a cup of tea for Xia Nan, and there was no wave on his face.
Xia Nan stared at him and said: "You are a smart person, you must know my intention, do you say it yourself, or ......" The latter words did not come out, after all, he has worked for himself for two or three years and has made a lot of contributions, so there is no need to say too ugly.
"From the time the general insisted on taking me to Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town, I knew that this moment would come sooner or later, and I had made all preparations." Murong Longcheng replied calmly, "Since the time when Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wei Zhong was tortured, I have made up my mind to tell the general everything. Before that, shall I tell the general a story? ”
"I even know the name of the thousand households who were tortured, it seems that the grudge between you and Jinyiwei has not been a year or two. Want to tell a story? Yes, I'm listening. ”
"This story happened a bit ago, please listen patiently to the general." Murong Longcheng fell into memories, "In that year, Genghis Khan's son Genghis Jin Temujin fought in the south and the north, laid down a vast territory, established the Great Yuan in the hands of Xue Chan Khan Kublai Khan, passed on the fifth and eleventh emperors, and the ninety-eighth year of Guozuo......"
The protagonist of the story is called Kuang Kuo Timur, he is the son of Yuan Hanlin bachelor and Taiwei Saiin Chi Dahu, likes to read, learns official affairs, has a long strategy, can ride and shoot, and has outstanding talents, which can be described as both civil and military. When he was less than 20 years old, he was awarded the title of Guanglu Doctor by the imperial court, Zhongshu Pingzhang Political Affairs, and also knew the Privy Council affairs in Henan and Shandong, and the affairs of the Zhan Academy, led the troops to crusade against the Red Turban Army, beheaded more than 10,000 ranks, and surrendered Wang Shicheng.
In the twenty-fifth year of Zhizheng (Note 1) (1365), Emperor Yuan Shun and the crown prince Aiyu Zhili Dala fought for the throne, and the latter was forced to flee from the capital and flee to Jining because of his defeat. Timur, who supported the crown prince, escorted him back to Beijing, and in September of the same year, he was named the left prime minister of Zhongshu. However, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang rose strongly after defeating Chen Youliang, and the fall of the Yuan Dynasty was irreversible. In August of the 28th year of Zheng, the Ming army entered the capital, the rule of the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains ended, and the Yuan court retreated to Mobei, known as the Northern Yuan Dynasty in history. After that, Timur began to take on the important task of reviving the Yuan Dynasty.
As the pillar of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, although Timur was unable to turn the tide, it became the biggest obstacle to the Northern Expedition of the Ming Army. In October of the 28th year of Zheng, he fought with the Ming general Tang He in Handian, and the Ming army was defeated; In the twenty-ninth year of Zheng, Timur led his troops to surround Lanzhou, which was guarded by the Ming general Zhang Wen, and the reinforcements sent by the Ming army were completely annihilated, and the reinforcement general Yu Guang was killed; In the fifth year of Hongwu (1372), 150,000 Ming troops were divided into three northern expeditions, and Timur successfully ambushed the Ming army in Mobei, and the Ming army died tens of thousands of people.
Murong Longcheng looked solemn: "Zhu Yuanzhang greatly admired Timur, and he had failed to surrender seven times. I can't protect the king, and his people are strange men in the world. According to reports, there are three regrets in Zhu Yuanzhang's life, one is that he did not get the jade seal of the country, the second is that Timur was not recruited, and the third is that there is no news from Prince Yuan (Aiyu Zhili Dala). ”
Xia Nan was a little puzzled, he said that what does such a large amount of old things have to do with his life experience? The things Wei Zhong explained were very simple, and they didn't seem to have anything directly related to this story. In addition, this name is very familiar, and he couldn't help asking: "Does Kuangku Timur still have a Chinese name?" ”
"Yes, Han's name is Wang Baobao."
