In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 247 The general trend lies in China but not in China

It only took Namuzhong and Chatu three days to send away more than 3 Mongolian cavalry.

Then he led the five thousand cavalry from the left camp of the cavalry and rushed to Juyong Pass to recruit surrender.

At this time, the entire Juyong Pass was already under martial law. After Wu Sangui fled to Juyong Pass, he took over all city defenses, while Gao Qiqian returned to the capital to resume his duties.

Obviously, the two planned to put the blame for the defeat on Hong Chengchou and the other seven generals.

Seeing that King Nahua not only did not come to surrender in person, but also sent a Mongolian girl, Wu Sangui immediately felt that he had been slighted and insulted. It was not until he learned the identity of Namu Zhong that he felt much better.

"General Wu, my king has always cherished talents and cherished them. Now the Ming Dynasty is over and its demise is imminent. As the saying goes, those who understand the current affairs are heroes. As long as the general is willing to surrender to the city, he will definitely be valued by my king. One day, my king will be honored as a great treasure. Later, when a high-ranking official received a generous salary and a title, how could he not receive the general's share?"

Naturally, Namuzhong would not go to the city in person to recruit surrender, but instead sent a scholar who had just surrendered.

In the past two days, many scholars have come to seek refuge in Xuanda University, but more scholars are still on the way.

Apparently, Ming Dynasty breeders raised a large number of white-eyed wolves for more than two hundred years.

At this moment, Wu Sangui was quietly listening to the words of this white-eyed scholar. His face was calm, but he was thinking rapidly in his heart.

After a long while, he cupped his hands and replied: "Wu has admired King Hua for a long time. However, since ancient times, loyal ministers have not served the two masters. Wu is deeply favored by the emperor, and it is difficult for him to betray his master and seek glory. Please go back, sir." Tell King Hua and Princess Hua that Wu can only be ashamed of his great love to them!"

"General Wu, you have to think clearly. This is the time for our country to hire people. If you are willing to take the lead and surrender, you will be favored by our king. But if you delay it any longer, then you may not be sure. So General, please think twice!"

Xu Xiucai frowned, obviously knowing that this guy didn't want to submit, but wanted to raise the price, or wanted to wait and see to see how the situation would develop, so he said clearly again.

"Sir, there is no need to say more. Wu has made up his mind. Please tell Prince Hua and Princess Hua the truth!"

"Come on, see off!"

After Wu Sangui finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup. He was not stupid. King Hua made no promises and just wanted him to surrender. How could there be such a surrender and rebellion since ancient times?
Not to mention that he occupies such an important pass as Juyong Pass. With the [-] cavalry in his hand, he must be a duke no matter what, or at least a marquis?
What's more, if he surrendered so easily, he would be looked down upon by King Na Hua, who thought that Wu Sangui was a villain who acted according to the circumstances and sought glory behind his master's side.

Anyway, this Juyongguan is only for one person, and ten thousand people can't stop it. He is not in a hurry, so there is no need to make a hasty choice now.

Xu Xiucai could more or less guess what Wu Sangui was thinking, and knew that it was useless to continue talking, so he had to say goodbye and leave.

And Na Muzhong was very angry when she heard that Wu Sangui was unwilling to surrender happily and wanted to continue to wait and see.

"You make one more trip and tell Wu Sangui that if he doesn't surrender now, he won't surrender in the future. Our country also doesn't lack his [-] cavalry. I'll see if he can stay at Juyong Pass and be the Ming Dynasty for the rest of his life." Loyal minister."

"It's the empress, this subordinate will go right away."

Xu Xiucai's face also twitched, but he didn't know much about the character and status of Namu Zhong, the concubine of China, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense and had to go to Juyongguan again.

Wu Sangui obviously didn't expect that he would come back so quickly. Could it be that Hua Guo's work efficiency is so high?
So he said with a puzzled look on his face: "Have you already conveyed everything Wu said to your King Hua?"

"General Wu, my eldest princess is solely responsible for this recruitment. Please forgive me for not having time to convey your words to my eldest king." Xu Xiucai explained with some embarrassment.

"Oh, really, what is this, sir?" Wu Sangui looked at him straightly, feeling a little unhappy.

"General Wu, you must also know that my eldest princess is a Mongolian and has a relatively straightforward personality. After hearing your reply, she was very angry, so she ordered me to tell General Wu again that if the general does not surrender now, he will not surrender in the future. If you have another chance to surrender, although Juyong Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, general, please don’t forget that Zijin Pass is in the hands of our army."

Xu Xiucai had no choice but to tactfully remind Wu Sangui that he was a Mongolian and didn't understand the ways of the Han people. If he wanted to submit, he should hurry up and stop doing those vain things.

Sure enough, Wu Sangui's face turned blue and purple after hearing this. Although he was extremely angry, he felt that King Hua was too unscrupulous. How could he surrender like this?

But after realizing that the eldest princess was a Mongolian, she had no choice but to suppress her anger, pondered for a while and said directly: "It is not impossible to ask Wu to surrender, but Wu's family is all in Beijing, and the families of his brothers are also here. Liaodong, so please allow some time for Wu to make arrangements so that Wu can return to China without any worries. I also hope that sir can explain it to your princess."

"Okay! Don't worry, General Wu. I will definitely explain the general's intention to my princess." Xu Xiucai nodded and replied seriously.

But Wu Sangui was a little worried about this guy, worried that he would deliberately not make it clear when the time came, causing Princess Na Hua to misunderstand again.

So the orderer brought a piece of beautiful jade and an ingot of gold, put them on the table next to him and said, "Then there is Mr. Rao Xu. This is Wu's idea. I hope Mr. Lao Xu will accept it!"

"This... General Wu is too polite. How can this be done?" As the saying goes, a poor scholar, Xu Xiucai is in his thirties. His life was not rich before, and he was even a little poor. He looked at the large ingot on the table. Jin Zi and Mei Yu's eyes widened, and for the first time they realized the benefits of having power in their hands. When they came back to their senses, they realized that they had just lost their composure. They quickly calmed down their expressions, reluctantly accepted the things after some refusal, and then left with a smile. Leave.

But after Xu Xiucai left, Wu Sangui slapped the table hard, feeling aggrieved in his heart!

At this time, the third brother Wu Sanfu also came out from behind and said with an indignant look: "Brother, Princess Hua despises us so much. How can this be a surrender? It's simply a forced surrender. She doesn't take us in her eyes at all. Is it possible?" Do we really want to submit to China?"

"Hey! Third brother, my Wu family has been loyal for generations, do you think I just want to abandon the Ming Dynasty? But the situation is like this, with only tens of thousands of our cavalry, what can we do if we don't surrender?

You also saw the battle that day. The Chinese army's infantry formation was so strict that it was a replica of the Qi family army. With such a strong army at hand, sooner or later everyone in the world would have to be named Lin! "

Wu Sangui sighed, and then said with lingering fear.

He could clearly see the battle that day. The 12 infantry phalanxes of the Chinese army clearly did not use their full strength, or they were just trying their best, and they defeated their [-]-strong army. I wonder if there will be any future in this world. Who is Hua Jun’s opponent?
Moreover, those [-] Chinese troops are still new recruits. Once they are fully grown, how terrifying will their combat power be?

What's more, the Chinese army still has [-] to [-] Mongolian cavalry, so he has no confidence in the Ming Dynasty.

Unless Qi Shaobao is resurrected, the Ming Dynasty will never be saved, and the Chinese army will be invincible.

"But if we just surrender to the past, will we be able to live a good life in the future?"

Wu Sanfu thought about it and said unwillingly. He felt that with his eldest brother's reputation and the [-] thousand Ning cavalry under his command, he had to promise a title first, right?

Back then, Huang Taiji wanted to recruit his uncle, Zu Dashou, but Wang Jue directly promised him.

"The King of Hua is a hero. I think he has a reputation for knowing people, and he must be very broad-minded. Otherwise, he would never have achieved such a big name. It's just that the Princess of Hua is a little unreliable. There is no need to argue with her." , it is King Hua whom we submit to, not her."

Wu Sangui waved his hands and comforted himself.

"I hope so, alas!"

Wu Sanfu also sighed and said nothing more. He obviously understood that the Ming Dynasty was over and it was impossible to stop the Chinese army. Even if they defended Juyong Pass, the other side would go around Zijin Pass to attack the capital.

And once the capital is breached, they will be trapped in Juyongguan and unable to escape, and it may be too late to surrender by then.

After Xu Xiucai returned, he gave a more embellished explanation. As expected, Namuzhong was very satisfied with Wu Sangui's attitude this time. After giving him a two-month deadline, he set his sights on other cities in Xuanfu.

"How about it? Then Hong Chengchou, Yang Guozhu and others in Xuanfu City are willing to surrender?"

After sending Xu Xiucai away, Namuzhong looked at the remaining scholars and scholars and asked, including two old men with white hair and beards. It was obvious that both of them were old-hearted and extremely addicted to officialdom.

"Back to your Majesty, although Bai Guangen and others in Wanquan Youwei City did not directly agree, they did not reject them outright. I thought they wanted to negotiate terms. As long as the Empress can give clear instructions, I believe that with my three-inch My persuasive tongue will definitely convince them to open the city and surrender."

"What about Hong Chengchou?" Namurui frowned and asked again.

She wanted to make a promise, but Rui Lang didn't explain, how could she make a promise?

"I haven't seen that Hong Chengchou. Madam, please forgive me for speaking frankly. With Hong Chengchou's weight and reputation, I am afraid that the king must go to recruit talents in person. This can also reflect that our country is thirsty for talents, and the king has a reputation of treating the virtuous."

The old man in charge of recruiting Hong Chengchou and several other generals warned carefully.

"I will report this to the king. What about Yang Guozhu in Xuanfu City and the other military attaches in the Acropolis? What did they say?"

Namu Zhongping waved her hands and looked at the other people.

"Back to the empress, Yang Guozhu, Wang Tingchen, and Li Mingfu also did not agree directly, nor did they reject them outright. Obviously they also want exact promises and treatment from our country."

"Back to your Majesty, the commanders of the other guards and Qianhu are also the same."

"Okay, let's leave it like this for now. You gentlemen have worked hard. Go down and rest first. I'll make a decision after I report to the queen."

Namuzhong also had a headache, and finally waved her hand and said, deciding to go to Yonga Castle to ask Rui Lang for instructions.
