Chapter 77 Save Xia Wanchun
As soon as Hong Chengchou finished speaking, he really went to interrogate Xia Wanchun, but he said that, but he didn't think so in his heart. As long as he persuaded Xia Wanchun to surrender, it would be very beneficial to the situation. After all, he was also a descendant of a famous scholar. He became famous in Jiangnan because of his intelligence at a young age, and his father Xia Yunyi also died for suicide. The Xia family's reputation is even more prosperous. It is a good thing to convince Xia Wanchun! Besides, is it not easy to deal with a child who is only sixteen years old?
But this time Hong Chengchou was very wrong, and he was about to kick a piece of iron plate, which would make him bored...
Now, Hong Chengchou first said that there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and that without a descendant is the greatest. Xia Wanchun wants to keep the blood of their Xia family! He can't die! What else is it? Many people have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, so why should he be persistent?
Hong Chengchou's tone slowed down and said, "Xia Wanchun, you are still young, and you are naturally prone to making mistakes when you are young. You call your army rebellious, how can you do this? You are just being deceived by the thief and fell into the trap of the thief! As long as you are willing to surrender, not only will your Xia family be able to protect, but you can also have high officials and generous salaries! Everbrating the lintel of your Xia family!"
"The lintel of the Everbright Xia family?" Xia Wanchun sneered in his heart. He knew that if he wanted to brisk the lintel of the Xia family, he would never surrender with loyalty and righteousness!
Xia Wanchun sneered repeatedly. He was looking at Hong Chengchou. Although when he came out of prison, a prison guard had already told him clearly that it was Hong Chengchou who wanted to interrogate him.
Xia Wanchun stood proudly and never knelt down! He replied deliberately loudly: "I heard that Mr. Hengjiu is a master of this dynasty. The battle between Songshan and Xingshan was blood splattered in Zhangqu. The previous emperor was shocked and praised and moved the Chinese and foreigners. I often envy his loyalty. Although I was young, I would kill myself to serve the country. How could I be worse than the dead martyr Mr. Hong Hengjiu! I would never fall behind Mr. Hengjiu!"
Xia Wanchun's words made Hong Chengchou's face flushed, and he was ashamed!
The left and right officers told Xia Wanchun that the person in the hall was Hong Chengchou.
Xia Wanchun scolded him with a stern voice and expression: "Mr. Hong sacrificed for the country, no one in the world knows. The former emperor once set up a sacrifice himself and cried for it. All the officials in the court cried and mourned for him, and all the famous scholars wrote sacrifices for him. How dare you traitors pretend to be martyrs and insulted the loyal soul!"
At this point, Hong Chengchou did not dare to retrial. He had a blue face, a depressed expression, and was speechless, and he did not dare to face this young hero again.
He even announced his withdrawal with a slap in the cannon. For this reason, Hong Chengchou also understood that it was not easy to persuade this Jiangnan prodigy!
No matter how he said that Xia Wanchun is too smart, how can he do it if he doesn't kill him? He just made up his mind and chose Yuqi to kill Xia Wanchun.
At this time, a servant came to report that Hong Chengchou's father was seriously ill and asked him to go back and take a look as soon as possible.
Hong Chengchou was famous all over the world for his filial piety. After he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Hong's mother refused to see Hong Chengchou, saying that his son was dead! The person who came was a beast or a beast!
Even though Hong Chengchou knew this, he hurried back home. His younger brother Hong Chenggong refused to let him in. He also said that his elder brother had died in the Battle of Songjin and had been loyal to the country. Where did he get his elder brother?
Hong Chengchou was helpless, so he had to stand in the house. His servants and subordinates were not happy anymore, so he broke into the Hong Mansion. Only Hong's mother kept scolding him angrily.
Hong Chengchou had no choice but to live at home no matter what. He obviously despised his parents, his younger brother did not tolerate it, and the whole family did not tolerate it, and he had to force it to live there. His reputation for filial piety cannot be eliminated! It must be preserved. He will spread it widely in the future. He will serve his seriously ill father and win a reputation.
Even if Hong Chengchou is not here, he will give Xiong Zongheng and others a chance sent by Zhang Biwu! He can save Xia Wanchun.
Xia Wanchun was taken to the West City execution ground, and the executioner announced Xia Wanchun's crime: "The pirates are foreign aid, the lake is a supporter, and secretly wrote memorials and listed the ranks of civil and military officers." When he was about to be executed, he stood up but did not kneel, his expression remained unchanged, and the executioner was trembling and did not dare to look at him.
Du Dengchun and Chen Yuxiao were standing below, and Wu Xun and Xiong Zongheng were following, both of them watching the situation on the execution ground.
Du Dengchun said: "Tong Yangjia and Li Chengdong's men have been dispatched and they are out of their way! For this reason, the garrison troops in Nanjing are not strong and the guard is not high. Hong Chengchou left Nanjing and went back to his hometown to visit his father! I heard that his father is sick! Now is the best time to save Brother Xia!"
The executioner closed his eyes. He didn't dare to wait until Xia Wanchun was unable to do so, so he waved it to Xia Wanchun with one knife.
"Operation!" Xiong Zongheng first shot the executioner with an arrow, and the executioner fell to the ground. Wu Xun and his young soldiers all jumped onto the stage and rushed towards Xia Wanchun.
Du Dengchun and Shen Yuxiao shouted: "Brother Xia! Go quickly! It was the teacher who asked them to save you! This is the man from Wuwei Hou!"
"Wuwei Marquis?" Xia Wanchun couldn't help but be overjoyed because he knew that his teacher Chen Zilong had already served under Zhang Biwu's account. The teacher was still caring about him before he could. Although he knew that when his father Xia Yunyi committed suicide, he had sent Chen Zilong a letter to him to take care of his family. Now it was time for Chen Zilong to fulfill his promise.
Unexpectedly, he invited Zhang Biwu and asked Zhang Biwu to send a powerful general to rescue him. In Nanjing, how much risk should he take!
Wu Xun had already rushed to Xia Wanchun and said, "Let's go!" Xia Wanchun couldn't help but look at his fellow inmates Qian Bai and others, and he wanted Wu Xun to save them.
But it’s hard! It’s a good thing to be able to save Xia Wanchun! Qian Yuan and others naturally knew it, and they shouted: “Go away! Little brothers! Remember to avenge us! If you expel the Tartars and restore my China, please burn incense to worship us!”
"Deda! Deda!" A war horse ran towards here quickly. Wu Xun shouted: "Go away!"
A group of Qing soldiers rushed over, and the people under the Xing stage immediately shot arrows and shot these Qing soldiers to death.
In theory, when something big happened, people should have all dispersed, but these did not disperse. Instead, they got together. They knew that Xia Wanchun was a young hero, and everyone admired him. Zhang Biwu, the pillar of the Anti-Qing Dynasty, sent someone to save Xia Wanchun. Of course, they had to do their best.
With the help of the masses, Wu Xun threw Xia Wanchun onto the horse's back with one hand, and then he drove away the war horse.
Xiong Zongheng also walked with Du Dengchun and Chen Yuxiao, while the young soldiers blocked the way, and many people blocked the way so that the Qing soldiers could not see clearly.
The Qing soldiers shouted, "Get out of the way! If you don't let go, you will die!" They stabbed the guns at once, and several people immediately fell into a pool of blood, but some people did not let go. Another burst of knife slashed, and someone fell down.
Xia Wanchun looked back and couldn't help but burst into tears. It was these people who sacrificed their surname to save his life. Although Xia Wanchun still wanted to ask what was going on in Wu Xun, he didn't speak. It's not safe yet. It's not too late to ask again after reaching a safe place.
The city gate is almost closed, but don’t worry! There are Wu Xun’s people on the city gate. Although they cannot control how long the city gate will take, as long as they can control it for a while, let Wu Xun, Xiong Zongheng and others go out safely, that is a good thing.
When they heard that there was a change in Nanjing, although there were Qing troops outside Nanjing, they did not dare to move around without orders. When the order was issued, they went out in full swing and wanted to search for Xia Wanchun and others.
Wu Xun and Xiong Zongheng rescued Xia Wanchun to a safe place. There was a man waiting for them here. This man was Chen Zilong.
As soon as Xia Wanchun saw Chen Zilong, he was so happy that he hurriedly saluted: "Sir, you are here! Please pay homage to me, my disciple!"
Chen Zilong hurriedly helped Xia Wanchun up. He looked at Xia Wanchun with gentle and admiring eyes and said, "Okay! OK! You are a good person! The fact that you angrily scolded Hong Chengchou has spread all over the country, and everyone calls you a young hero! You have become famous! It is worthy of Brother Xia's spirit in heaven!"
Speaking of this, Chen Zilong was very happy. He couldn't help but wiped his tears and said, "Brother Xia entrusted my whole family to me before he died. When I heard that you were captured, I immediately asked the Marquis to send someone to rescue him! Now, the Marquis actually sent two generals, who were famous in the Qing Dynasty and killed the Tartars and fled! They became famous in Songxian at the age of sixteen!"
Wu Xun and Xiong Zongheng couldn't help but raise their eyebrows proudly. Although they were no longer older than Xia Wanchun, they had a strong sense of pride since they were young.
As for Xia Wanchun, they believed that they had followed Zhang Biwu since childhood, and they made great contributions at the age of sixteen. They were still young heroes who had been through the battlefield for a long time, so they would admire them. No matter what, Xia Wanchun's life was saved by them.
Xia Wanchun expressed his gratitude to Wuxun and Xiong Zongheng, and also expressed his admiration for them very much. If he had the chance, he would like to ask them to teach him martial arts!
Wu Xun and Xiong Zongheng were so valued, they couldn't help but be very happy. They originally wanted to start a war with Li Zicheng and not let Li Zicheng look down on him. They also resisted to save Xia Wanchun, thinking that what's the use of saving a poor child prodigy? Now, when they see him, be good, it's amazing!
Xia Wanchun had no literati airs at all, but on the contrary, they respected them very much. At this moment, they thought it was completely worth it to save Xia Wanchun. So the three of them got together, talking and laughing, and getting along very well!
Chen Zilong said, "Okay! That's all we have to say about the past, let's go back quickly!" After saying this, they got the approval and left.
