Chapter 907: Don't work for the faint-hearted king
Immediately, two soldiers from the Yonggu battalion stepped forward, one on the left and the other on the right, and they were about to drag it out.
Song Li struggled wildly, and a soldier slipped and took off his hand inadvertently. Song Li broke free and immediately stepped forward a few steps forward and knelt on the ground.
However, his actions scared Zhang Weixian and the rest of the people.
The two soldiers were even more frightened and stepped forward again to pull him steadily.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty spare my life!"
"I, Song Li, knowing the mischief when I was in office, but Your Majesty, please listen to my words. If I still want to kill me, I will never say anything!"
Whether Song Li broke free and ran towards him or knelt down and begged for mercy now, Zhu Youxiao did not move any steps throughout the whole process. After hearing this, he thought for a moment, but waved his hand.
Seeing this, the two soldiers let go, but because of the previous incident, they still stood beside Song Li, waiting to take action at any time.
Song Li breathed out and said hurriedly:
"This time your Majesty left the pass, Jiannu Ding also fought with all his country. Our troops lost thousands of people, and ten thousand people, which was not as good as the nine borders and the elite troops of the imperial guards."
"If you fight, you need bait to catch a big fish. The sinner will be willing to make meritorious service and go to the slave chief to surrender. If you succeed, it will only be considered to make meritorious service."
"If it fails, it will be better to kill oneself and serve the country with oneself and prove oneself a crime."
After saying that, Song Li kowtowed three times in a row, pressing his face against the ground, and did not dare to raise his eyes and look up for a moment.
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, waved his hand and signaled that the two brave soldiers could go down, and said lightly: "How do you guarantee that you will go this time? Isn't it really surrendered to Jianzhou?"
Song Li said in panic: "Your Majesty, I am a little calculating, greedy for money and lustful, but I am still filial to my 70s mother at home, and I am not stupid."
"At present momentum, Jianzhou will be defeated and our dynasty will be defeated. This is the common wish of the people of the world. If the sinners will be surrendered to Jiannu at this time, they will not only be unfaithful and unfilial, but also be a minister of the Ming Dynasty."
"I'd like to ask your Majesty, I believe that the sin will be the next time!"
Zhu Youxiao thought about it and even if Song Li, a canal transport soldier with more than 20,000 people, went to Jianzhou, Yu was not in trouble.
If so, it will reduce the loss of some elite soldiers and generals.
Bet a bet?
After considering for a while, Zhu Youxiao repeatedly observed Song Li's romance and expression, and found that it was not a false statement, so he said, "Get up. I believe that this time, if things are done, I will not only consider your merits and demerits to be worthy of your merits and demerits, but also remember your merits."
"If things fail, as long as you do not surrender to Jianlu, I will also order people to pay homage to your mother and cleanse your sinners, and in the name of loyalty and filial piety."
"Do you understand what I said?"
Song Li was overjoyed and his head was covered in blood.
"I understand completely. Your Majesty is kind and your Majesty is wise!"
Zhu Youxiao felt helpless when he saw Song Li wiping the tears from his face while sitting for a seat.
When I came to Tongzhou today, I planned to kill the generals to purify the military power, but I didn't think of this situation. It would be inappropriate to force the killing of people at this time.
After thinking about it, he said again:
"As for those who have committed the same crimes as Song Li, I will not blame you today. I just hope that after the army leaves the customs, we will sweep away the captive court and avenge the millions of people who died tragically."
Upon hearing this, the other generals stood up one after another and said in unison: "Long live your wise and wise."
After leaving the imperial tent, Zhang Weixian waited for the other generals to walk away and called Chen Ce alone. He first exchanged greetings and then said slowly:
"Governor Chen, do you always be by Your Majesty. Do you know Your Majesty's intention today?"
Chen Ce smiled and said, "I don't know this. Even Eunuch Wei is unpredictable to the thoughts of Your Majesty, let alone me, a vulgar martial artist."
"As the commander of the imperial guards, all I think about is how to protect His Majesty thoroughly."
Zhang Weixian nodded and smiled awkwardly.
"I really can't guess what Your Majesty meant this time."
"First, he wanted to kill General Song with great fanfare, but in a blink of an eye he released him and allowed him to make meritorious service. He was really brave."
Chen Ce said as he walked: "What the Duke of the Kingdom said, if Your Majesty was timid and cowardly, how could the peaceful world of the Ming Dynasty be here today?"
Zhang Weixian was stunned when he heard this and laughed: "That's right, that's right!"
......
The oath ceremony was held as scheduled. As the incident passed, all the twenty-eight generals, including Song Li, were cleaned up.
The impact caused was even better than Zhu Youxiao's thought that he had killed Song Li that day.
This time, he gathered troops from the six provinces of Shanxi, Shandong, Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang and Yunnan, as well as elite border troops in the three towns of Xuanfu, Datong and Yulin, with a total of 260,000 troops.
If we include the 200,000 Liao troops originally in Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty has never mobilized so many troops to come out of seclusion since Sarhu.
The six ministries in the capital were so busy that after the army was dispatched, the military expenditure and food required for a day were tens of thousands.
It is thanks to the fact that the Ming Dynasty is rich now that it can afford such a prosperous battle.
Zhu Youxiao followed the army, but did not go too far. The imperial guard stopped at Shanhaiguan and looked at Liaodong from afar. Then he issued a secret decree to Xiong Tingbi.
The other army continued to move forward and went to Liaoyang to meet with Xiong Tingbi.
As soon as the army arrived in Liaoyang, Huang Taiji found out through careful work that before leaving the pass, Zhu Youxiao arrived in Tongzhou and almost killed Song Li, the general general of the Xi'an Prefecture's canal transport.
And Song Li still has 20,000 canal transport troops available.
Before Song Li could run to Hetuala, Huang Taiji disguised himself and went to Liaoyang to take the initiative to win over.
On that day, Song Li was sitting in a tavern in Liaoyang City drinking, waiting for his servants to bring news about how to go to Hetuala and gain the trust of the old slave.
With a "creaking" sound, the door was pushed open.
A young man wearing a felt hat and looking very strong walked in and sat opposite him.
Song Lixin was dissatisfied, but then he looked at the person's appearance again, and seemed to be like a dragon. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"If you beg for food, go and ask for it elsewhere. I don't have the money to give it to you!"
The young man took off his felt hat and smiled and said, "I am the one you are looking for, the Lord of the Waterside Jurchen, and the Emperor of the Great Jin!"
Song Li was stunned and said with a smile:
"I dare not say this. Do you know where this is?"
"This is Liaoyang. Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded this place like an iron barrel. If you are really Huang Taiji, wouldn't you come to die?"
Huang Taiji smiled and said nothing more. His eagle-like eyes stared at the general general of the Xi'an Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty in front of him:
"What kind of grudge do I, Dajin, have with you?"
Song Li now concluded that the person in front of him was a detailed work by Jianzhou, but he didn't believe that the person in front of him was Huang Taiji. In fact, it was not just him, and even Xiong Tingbi didn't believe that at this time, Huang Taiji dared to come to Liaoyang alone to instigate the general of the Ming Dynasty.
Song Li asked coldly: "What do you mean?"
Huang Taiji smiled faintly and filled Song Li with a bowl of strong wine.
"A gentleman has never killed innocent people. My Dajin and you and the Ming Dynasty have never been wronged or revenge. Your emperor has disturbed me Dajin again and again."
"Do you remember the seven hatreds that my Emperor Taizu burned incense and sacrificed to heaven, and what are the seven hatreds?"
Song Li was dizzy when asked, took a sip of wine, and then sneered: "Are you asking me to surrender to Jianzhou? No, it's impossible."
"Your Khan must have heard that I was almost killed by Your Majesty in the pass, so I came to recruit you. I will tell you."
"If I surrender to Jianzhou, wouldn't I betray the country and deceive the emperor?"
Huang Taiji also sneered and slapped the table and said, "You are loyal, but unfortunately, why don't you think about it? He will kill you in front of everyone for that little thing."
"If you are a foolish monarch like King Zhou and Qin II, you will be foolish and loyal!"
