Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 177 Time to run
Liu Aita truly surrendered to Daming, but his surrender was a tragedy in history.

Because at that time the emperor Tianqi didn't care about things at all, Wei Zhongxian was in charge of everything, and Yuan Keli was accused of being the Qingliu of Donglin. Wei Zhongxian and Yuan Keli were in the same situation, and the relationship was not ordinary.

In this case, Wei Zhongxian was naturally stuck with Yuan Keli's matter.

Therefore, Liu Aita was stuck for half a year when he judged the enemy to vote.

For the past six months, Liu Aita has been suffering every day. You must know that he is not the only one who knows about the fact that he sent his brother Liu Xingren to Beiwa City to ask for surrender, at least the sailors who sent Liu Xingren over know.

Did he try his best to cover up but Jiannu found out, and because of this his younger brother Liu Xingren was arrested and killed by Jiannu, who made him a scapegoat.

In fact, when Liu Aita surrendered, he didn't ask for any high-ranking officials and rich salary, he just asked for a gold medal to avoid death.

However, it was Yuan Keli who told him to surrender. Not only did Wei Zhongxian not give him the gold medal for avoiding death, but he also deliberately ordered people to guard him like a spy!
That is to say, in history, Liu Aita did not get any benefits at all after he surrendered to Ming Dynasty.

After Yuan Keli was dismissed by Wei Zhongxian and investigated, the Southern Four Guards were even more chaotic, which attracted Jiannu to attack with an army. There was a massacre of the Southern Four Guards. Liu Aita, also known as Liu Xingzuo, died in battle in the end, leaving behind Regrets of a lifetime.

Of course, it is impossible for this tragedy to repeat itself at this moment.

Because the emperor at this moment is Taichang, and he attaches great importance to this matter, and even took the risk to come to Denglai Water City in person.

It was also a coincidence that if the eunuchs and Jiannu hadn't jointly erased Liu Aita from the history books, Taichang would never have known whether Liu Aita had surrendered for real or not, so he wouldn't have come here in such a hurry.

Liu Xingren didn't know this, when he heard that the emperor summoned him, he almost went numb.

How could he have imagined that Yuan Keli asked him to wait a few days to wait for the current emperor, and he only thought that Yuan Keli was waiting for the court's reply.

The emperor actually came in person, and he didn't know what to do.

He was led into a study room in such a dizzy state, as soon as he saw Taichang who had changed into a dragon robe, he bowed down as soon as he accepted his head, lying on the ground in fear: "The guilty minister Liu Xingren pays homage to the emperor."

Taichang observed carefully for a while, then raised his hand and said, "Get up and answer."

Liu Xingren quickly got up at a loss, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Taichang simply asked: "Are you really the younger brother of Liu Aita, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Four Guards?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xingren quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the criminal's elder brother is not called Liu Aita, but Liu Xingzuo. Liu Aita is the name given to my brother by the slave chief Nurhachi."

How dare this guy be called Nurha Chinu Chief!
Who knows if he is specially used to deceive me?

Taichang thought for a while, and then asked, "How did your brother become the son-in-law of the slave chieftain Nurhachi?"

Liu Xingren quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the slave chieftain Nurhachi didn't rebel at that time, he was still the Dragon and Tiger General of Ming Dynasty, and my brother married the slave chieftain Nurhachi's daughter just to make life easier for our family."

Uh, this is indeed the truth. Nurhachi didn't say he wanted to rebel at the beginning.

At that time, Nurhachi was still conquering the Jurchen tribes under the banner of Ming Dynasty.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked again: "You brothers betrayed Jiannu and came to vote, what benefits do you want?"

Liu Xingren shook his head again and again and said: "Your Majesty, the guilty minister and elder brother are originally Han people in Liaodong. We did not betray Jiannu, we were all captured by Jiannu. We just want to return to Ming Dynasty. As for the benefits, my brother knows that he has sinned deeply. Dare to ask the emperor what benefits he wants, just ask the emperor to give him a gold medal for avoiding death, so that he can save his life."

Gold Medal for Avoidance?

So simple!
Taichang nodded slightly and said: "The gold medal for avoiding death is no problem, but if you dare to feign surrender, the gold medal for avoiding death is useless."

Liu Xingren quickly explained: "Your Majesty, we are not feigning surrender. We really can't understand Jiannu's actions, so we return to Daming wholeheartedly!"

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help asking: "Why did your brother fall out with Jiannu Dabeile Daishan?"

Hearing this, Liu Xingren couldn't help gnashing his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know, our brother was taken captive by Dabeile Daishan. Many relatives and friends in our hometown died at his hands. My brother secretly hated this beast It's nothing more than personal enmity. The problem is that this beast is too inhuman, and it treats the Liao people as human beings! It was originally said that the Liao people in the four southern guards would be under the care of their brothers, but Dabeile Daishan kept looking for them by building a palace in Shenyang City. My brother wanted someone. As a result, many of the people who wanted to go there were beaten to death by them, and some were even forced to work day and night with weapons. They were exhausted. My brother received the news and ran to The Southern Four Guards Liao people who wanted to survive, but that Daishan refused to give them life or death, and my brother fell out with that beast on the spot."

Alas, the Liao people are really miserable.

Taichang sighed slightly, and then said solemnly: "Now, I just want to ask you, how can you guarantee that your brother is not a false surrender?"

Liu Xingren thought for a while, and then said decisively: "The guilty minister can stay here as a hostage. If the emperor is not at ease, he can send someone to take over the whole family of the guilty minister. If our brother is a fraudulent surrender, the criminal minister is willing to die." !"

This shouldn't be a fraudulent surrender!
If he surrendered like this, he would be dead, and his family would be affected, so what good would it do him?

Hearing the words, Taichang thought about it carefully, then nodded slightly and said: "Okay, I will believe you this time, tell me, how do you plan to surrender, whether to throw the city directly, return the Southern Four Guards to Daming, or bring people come to cast?"

When Liu Xingren heard this, he couldn't help wondering: "Your Majesty, my brother wants to throw himself into the city directly, but there are too many slaves and generals in the South Four Guards City, and my brother is not sure how to get rid of them. My brother can also completely control the navy, because the construction The slaves are basically landlubbers, and they don’t want to be on a warship. Therefore, my brother wants to take the navy warship and transport hundreds of thousands of Liao people from the Southern Four Guards to surrender.”

Uh, it can't be done like this!

I was short of money, and you brought hundreds of thousands of Liao people to leave their hometowns to surrender. How can I have so much money and food to support these people?

Besides, if you come to surrender with such great fanfare, Jiannu will definitely notice, and then there will be no way to make a surprise attack.

Thinking of this, Taichang shook his head slightly and said: "There is no need to transport the Liao people from the South Four Guards, as long as your brother can bring the South Four Guards Navy over, because we will fight back soon, the Liao people from the South Four Guards There is absolutely no need to move around and suffer this crime."

Hearing this, Liu Xingren cupped his hands without hesitation and said: "This matter is up to the emperor, and we will do what the emperor says."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked again: "How long will it take for you to be ready?"

Liu Xingren made a rough estimate, then cupped his hands and said: "The guilty minister only needs to pass the news back, and my brother will definitely lead the South Four Guards Navy to vote within five days."

Taichang considered it carefully for a while, and then seriously said: "Estimate, if Jiannu finds out, when will the cavalry they send rush to the Southern Four Guards?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Xingren said without worry: "Don't worry, the emperor, the Jiannu cavalry has taken advantage of the warmer weather to subdue the Mongolian and Yuan tribes. came."

what?
Why didn't you say it earlier!
Taichang couldn't help being pleasantly surprised: "Really?"

Liu Xingren quickly explained: "How dare the guilty minister lie to the emperor, if the slave chieftain Nurhachi is not here, Dabeile Daishan would not dare to target my brother like this, and force my brother to turn his face!"

Indeed, if Nurhachi was here, Liu Aita and Daishan would probably not make it clear that they would turn their backs.

Hearing this, Taichang nodded resolutely and said: "Okay, as long as you are sincere and loyal, I will give you a gold medal for each of your brothers. In addition, I will give your brothers the command of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion as a reward!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xingren kowtowed vigorously on the ground excitedly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Taichang nodded slightly, then waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go down and rest, and when I'm ready, you can send a message to Brother Ling."

Liu Xingren heard the words, quickly got up from the ground, and retreated respectfully.

Looking at his back, Taichang couldn't help laughing in his heart: "Hahahaha, times come and go, this time it's finally my turn to be lucky."

The Jiannu cavalry have all gone to the Mengyuan grassland. It is a great time to recover Liaodong!
