"Huh?" Yi Xin also recalled that Fuxing did mention Shengbao, Zhuo Suotu and Zhelimu, the two Mongolian princes, when he reported to Xianfeng, so he asked forward: "Wang Feng, do you still have someone in your hand?" ”
Wang Feng waved his hand, and another 2,000 captives were pushed out, and suddenly, a cadre of people under the city head of Beijing instantly felt that they were deceived, he really still had someone!
Xianfeng's face sank, and he said unhappily: "Since you two have come to see me, why don't you mention it?" ”
After seeing Xianfeng, Seng Lingqin and Mianyu did not dare to hide anything, and told the story of the defeat, and the powerful guns of the Democratic Alliance Army were even more important, but they did not mention how many prisoners the Democratic Alliance Army had, could it be that Xianfeng would be angry.
As soon as he saw that Xianfeng was about to get angry, Mianyu immediately knelt down in fright, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the slaves and the monks really don't know, although there were five or six thousand captured banner people at that time, but the short-haired temperament is ferocious, and there are countless people who have been tortured and killed along the way, and the short-haired people are mixed with our banner people in the army and detained, and there is no communication between them, and no one knows how many can return to Beijing alive, so the two slaves did not mention this matter, please let the emperor know it!" ”
"Hmm~~" Xianfeng thought about it, he was condescending by himself, and he didn't see the hidden meaning with the binoculars, and his face couldn't help but ease a little when he talked about Mianyu and Monk Lingqin, who were isolated.
Monk Greenqin breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty." The short-haired artillery had a long range, and the city was not safe. And he deliberately hid the captives, there must have been a conspiracy. The minions are bold, please ask the emperor to avoid the inner city! ”
In fact, Xianfeng has always had reservations about the power of the guns of the Democratic Alliance described by Mianyu and Seng Lingqin, because the Qing Dynasty has invested a lot of money and energy in the research and improvement of guns in the more than ten years since the defeat of the Qingying War, but there has been little progress, so he does not believe that the Democratic Alliance Army split from the more backward Taiping Army will have advanced guns, and always thinks that this is an excuse for the monks and Mian to exonerate their crimes.
Falsely report credit and pass the buck. Deception and deception, collusion between officials and officials has become the norm in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, and Xianfeng understands it very well in his heart.
But the most important thing in this is that Xianfeng has no concept of advanced guns, after all, since the end of the Qing-British War, the Qing Dynasty and the foreigners have never clashed, and the foreigners will naturally not be idle and bored to show advanced weapons to the Qing court, which causes Xianfeng's understanding of firearms to stay at the technical level of more than ten years ago.
In short, he didn't believe that there was a gun in the world that could fight 150 feet. I don't believe that the artillery can still maintain its accuracy after hitting more than four miles!
Xianfeng glanced at the monk Lingqin meaningfully, and said: "I am the Son of Heaven, and the traitors are under the city, how can I retreat?" I didn't see the rebels being exterminated. I will not retreat! ”
Monk Greenqin had to persuade again, but Mianyu had secretly glanced at him to stop him, after all, Monk Greenqin was a rough man. And as a prince, he is very leisurely all day long. In addition to eating, drinking, and enjoying, it is to study how to intrigue. A guess at Xianfeng's mind can be thoroughly understood, in this case, the more persuasion will attract the opposite effect.
Mianyu preemptively praised: "The emperor is wise and martial, I am really fortunate in the Qing Dynasty, what if the short hair is sharper?" The soldiers will go up and down, swear to defeat the enemy, and the minions will first congratulate the emperor on his personal expedition and break the short hair! ”
Having said that, Mianyu thought that it would be good to let Xianfeng suffer some hardships, at least, the emperor Guiwei would not be able to please the Democratic Alliance army, so they would not be held accountable for their defeat and capture, and it would eventually be over.
Monk Lingqin is not stupid, when he listens to the gentle words rushing like a tide, how can he not understand? On the one hand, Xianfeng learned a lesson, and on the other hand, he was punished, which was more serious, and he didn't have to think about it at all, so he closed his mouth.
Xianfeng is obviously very popular with the words of Mianyu, you know, the royal driving pro-conquest, that is the unique style of the Holy Ancestor Kangxi, every dragon son and grandson of Aixin Jueluo are proud of it, and now he stands on the head of the city, leading tens of thousands of troops, quite a bit of the momentum of the imperial conquest, for a while, a strong sense of ambition is full of heart!
When the Ming Dynasty defeated Yexian under the city of Beijing, it turned the corner and laid the foundation for the prosperity of the next two hundred years. Besides, he still has an absolute advantage in terms of strength compared to Qian!
From this battle, let the Qing Dynasty's Zhongxing self-righteousness begin!
Xianfeng's eyes flashed, looking down!
Below the city, Yi Xun stopped Zaiyuan's urge to scold, and looked at Wang Feng coldly, he wanted to see what Wang Feng wanted to do.
Wang Feng beckoned: "Bring Shengbao out!" ”
The two morales pushed Katsubo, who had his hands tied behind his back, to take two steps forward.
Sheng Bao knew that this was a critical moment, and his life and death were not in Wang Feng's hands, but were decided by Yixun, so he couldn't help but tremble his teeth, and looked at the other side with a pleading face.
Wang Feng said again: "Qing Court Jiangbei Camp assistant to handle military affairs, Qin sent minister Shengbao, as a price of one million taels of silver, Prince Gong, pay the money with one hand, and release the person with the other!" ”
Suddenly, Shengbao's face was like ashes, if Wang Feng asked for thirty or fifty thousand taels, maybe there would be room for negotiation, but the opening was one million, to put it to the point, he himself felt that it was not worth the price, how could the court pay one million taels of silver?
Sure enough, "Hahahaha~~" Yixun smiled angrily: "Wang Feng, this king sees that you have penetrated into the eyes of money, if this king is captured, he would rather die than embarrass the court, Lord Sheng is passionate about the court, how can he use it for you?" This king advises you to die as soon as possible. ”
It's not Wang Feng who is dead, but Shengbao, Yixun has already shown in his words that he is unwilling to pay the ransom, and he doesn't even bargain, he understands that he is dead, and it is impossible to even go to the flag to join Wang Feng, because he has a family in Beijing!
Wang Feng smiled coldly, and said loudly: "What a great Qing Dynasty, after the defeat of the Qingying War, he compensated Yingyi with 21 million taels of silver without even frowning his eyebrows, but today he is reluctant to take out a mere 1 million taels to redeem a minister with humerus shares, and Lord Sheng is really the life of a slave." Rather than a friend, not a house slave. It's really cold, come on. Send Katsu-sama on the road! ”
A soldier ran up with a gun and held Katsuho in the back of the head!
"Don't! I am willing to go to the flag and join the Democratic Alliance! "Shengbao can't take care of his family anymore, he is dead, his wife and children are all family else's, how can he manage so much? At the moment of life and death, he begged loudly for mercy, but Wang Feng didn't say anything!
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the back of Shengbao's head blossomed. Fallen in a pool of blood!
Wang Feng will not want to win Bao, the sins committed by the banner people in the past two hundred years must be paid with blood, if he can afford to pay the ransom, he can live a few more years and contain Hanchen in the Qing court, but such a poor egg like Shengbao is worthless!
This gunshot rang out, and Katsuho's corpse lying on his stomach like a dead dog. It brought a great psychological shock to the banner people, they have a life-and-death relationship with the Democratic Alliance, and it is normal for Wang Feng to kill Shengbao. It's not about hatred, but Yixun's attitude is chilling, and the ministers don't try their best to save it. And what about the others? Don't even think about it!
Wang Feng observed the change in the banner man's expression, and knew it in his heart. Stretched out his hand and pointed to the side: "The Mongolian prince Zhuo Suotu and Zhelimu are worth one million taels of silver." The rest, regardless of their status, are 1,000 taels per person, a total of 1,983 people, totaling 2,980,030,000 taels, paying money with one hand and releasing people with the other! ”
Yixun fell into extreme embarrassment, and was shot and killed by the Democratic Alliance army under the capital of nearly 2,000 people without doing anything, which was both a shame and a discord, but he had nothing to do, and then took a step back and said, even if he had the heart to redeem it, where would the court get nearly three million taels of silver? The only thing he could do at this time was to remain silent.
Xianfeng was also silent, and he also understood that although the nails of Qi were deeply embedded in the flesh, he could only endure this breath!
Between heaven and earth, the atmosphere is tense, the captives are full of despair, the fate of Shengbao will be their end, Zhuo Suotu and Zhelimu are even more fat and trembling, cattle and sheep, beauties, slaves, in the next moment, will become a legend.
Since Wang Feng quoted the price, he has never made a sound, Zaiyuan can no longer bear the suffocating atmosphere, he leaned up, and whispered: "Gong Wangye, the short-haired mind is vicious, look at it, the soldiers are looking at us, if we let the captives be killed, I am afraid that you and I will be scolded by ten thousand people, and it is impossible to redeem it with money, so it is better to ask the emperor for an order, right?" ”
Asking Xianfeng for instructions is equivalent to kicking the ball to Xianfeng, which is indeed a good way to shirk responsibility, Yixin had a momentary heartbeat, but then, he shook his head firmly: "The emperor entrusted the king to handle the prisoner exchange matter, if there is trouble to push it to the emperor, then what is the use of the emperor raising me?" As a minion, I should share my worries as the master, and all the infamy will be borne by my sixth brother! ”
After speaking, Yixun pointed to Wang Feng: "The emperor entrusted this king with full powers, today this king clearly tells you, don't want to disturb our army's heart, today's gift, he will return it tenfold every day!" ”
"Hahahaha~~" Wang Feng laughed and said: "What a cold-blooded and ruthless Qing Dynasty, since you don't care about the lives of the banner people, there is nothing to say, come on!" ”
With this sound, everyone was fiercely mentioned, and even many prisoners closed their eyes, unexpectedly, Wang Feng's voice changed again: "Cut the ropes, let them all, count down to five, shoot!" ”
Brush brush, the soldiers cut the rope with their knives, this is a shocking reversal, in an instant, the captives are like crazy, rushing towards their own military formation, the reaction is fast, one horse takes the lead, such as the two Mongolian princes, their running speed is absolutely proportional to the fat all over the body, and the slow reaction is to grab the person in front and drag it back, because there is another sentence, count down to five, shoot!
"Five, four, three, two, one! Shoot! ”
"Bang bang bang ~~" The gunfire was loud, it was the surrendered green battalion regiment that practiced firing the flintlock pistol, and heard the screams of ah-ah-ah, and the one who ran behind was shot and fell, which instead prompted the people in front to run faster and take out the strength to attack their own army.
