Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 316

In the early morning, the arrow was discovered by the Qing army patrolling the city, and the letter on the arrow was quickly transferred to Prince Azig of England.

Azig was furious when he opened the letter, and immediately sent an order to raise the account and gather generals.The thick and long beeping ox horn pierced through the quiet sky above the barracks, and then the gongs and drums of the gathering generals also sounded, which was an urgent signal for the Qing army to summon the generals.

It was just dawn at this time, and some soldiers of the Qing army were still sleeping soundly in their beds. They were summoned to the Prince Ying's tent by military orders for some unknown reason, including Wu Sangui, Ma Bao, and Wu Yingguang of course.

These Tartars and traitors also thought that there was some urgent military situation, and after entering the tent, they found that the atmosphere was not right. Looking at Azig's big face with gongs, his face was full of anger, his beard trembling, and the Tartars and traitors were so frightened that they did not dare to show their anger. , In the tents of hundreds of people, you can hear the drop of a needle.

"Wu Sangui, do you know the crime?" Azig suddenly slammed the table and shouted loudly, his eyes shot fiercely at Wu Sangui like sharp swords.

With this sound, all the generals' eyes fell on Pingxi King Wu Sangui.

Wu Sangui's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect disaster to come from the sky, he hurried out and knelt down, "My lord, I don't know which one the culprit is, my lord, please tell me clearly."

"Hmph, do you know this letter?" Azige said, throwing the letter written by Zhu Yousong on Wu Sangui's face.

Wu Sangui knelt down and did not dare to get up, picked up the letter, and his face changed when he looked carefully. In this letter, Zhu Yousong kindly called him and Zu Dashou as lovers, and told him not to be impatient, although he had temporarily obtained Azige's trust, but the regent Dorgon is not as rough as the British prince, so he will send the letter to Zu Dashou when the time is right, and then move with the camera, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Tartars. A major event was broken and a life was lost.

Wu Sangui yelled at being wronged, "My lord, this must be a treacherous scheme by the false emperor Zhu Yousong. Xiao Wang and uncle Zu Dashou are innocent. Since we surrendered, we dare not say that we have made any contribution, but we are loyal to His Majesty the Qing Emperor. Can express, please Wang Ye Mingjian."

"Hum Mingjian, first read the contents of this letter aloud in public!" Azig ordered in an unquestionable tone.

"Follow...obey..." Wu Sangui had to read the letter aloud, but as he read it, he cursed Zhu Yousong inwardly, foolish lord, this trick of yours has made Wu suffer so much, and Wu will not be spared even if he becomes a ghost you!

After Wu Sangui finished reading the letter, the generals knew what was going on, and began to look at Wu Sangui with suspicion.Not only looking at Wu Sangui, but also looking at the other two generals.

Ma Bao and Wu Yingguang were also sitting on pins and needles at this time, and the sweat on their faces came down. Knowing that a catastrophe was imminent, they quickly knelt behind Wu Sangui and shouted for grievances together.

Azige sneered, "Are you wronged? This king asks you, your 2 horses were killed by the false emperor. I heard that none of you were allowed to surrender, but Zhu Yousong didn't kill the three of you, but let you all die." And Tuidi escaped from his thousands of troops, if you can explain this matter clearly to everyone, this king will agree with you to be wronged, otherwise don't blame this king for not being sympathetic!"

This incident is so unbelievable that Azig and others were suspicious at first, but now they can find a reasonable explanation.

Of course, Ma Bao and Wu Yingguang were speechless. They were afraid that if they said too much, it would be even more difficult to justify themselves if the matter of Zhu Yousong's unconditional release and Wu Sangui's letter to Zu Dashou were revealed.

But Wu Sangui couldn't acquiesce, and kowtowed upwards, "My lord, this is exactly the cunning of the false emperor, this is his trick to get rid of traitors, to kill people with a knife."

"It's a good one to kill someone with a borrowed knife. You have all become his captives. Do you still need to borrow my king's knife to kill you? Doesn't Zhu Yousong know how to kill people? Isn't it troublesome to take off your pants and fart? Zhu Yousong has a brain Is there a problem? If it is right to borrow a knife to kill, then it should be Zhu Yousong who wants to use your knife to kill the king!"

"It's wrong, the false emperor wants to kill Xiaowang easily, this is mainly because he wants to break away from the relationship between his uncle, Zu Dashou and His Majesty."

"Oh? That's right, I forgot if you didn't mention it. The false emperor mentioned Zongbing Zu in his letter. Didn't he ask you to send a letter to Zongbing Zu on his behalf? Where is the letter?"

"Ah, this..." Azig asked, and Wu Sangui realized that he had talked too much, and secretly scolded himself for being a fool. Today, the description will become darker and darker, and he will not be able to clear it up by jumping into the Yellow River. Wu Sangui also stopped talking, I dare not say that I believe it, and I dare not say that I don't believe it. What military strategists and politicians are stuttering at this time.

"Come here, search for me!" Azig gave an order, and the Qing army came to search him. Wu Sangui actually carried this letter on his body, because he felt that it was not safe to put it anywhere, so he had to carry it with him all the time. I didn't expect it to be the case. If I knew that I would burn this letter, it would be over. I am a complete bastard!

When Wu Sangui regretted and scolded himself, Zhu Yousong's autographed letter, which was sealed with the Emperor Yuxi of the Ming Dynasty, was found by a Qing army from his arms. that's it.

At this time Ma Bao and Wu Yingguang were also dumbfounded.

The Qing soldier handed the letter to Azig, and Azige became more angry when he saw the letter, "Wu Sangui, what else do you say?"

Wu Sangui really has nothing to say, let's not talk about these two letters, just because he said that he, Wu Ying, and Ma Bao escaped from the Ming camp by chance, and deliberately concealing this letter is a crime of deception , The crime should be punished.

Wu Yingguang's face turned pale with fright, because he realized that Azig's big face was full of murderous intent, and it might only be a matter of time before the heads of the three of them fell to the ground.

But Ma Bao is different, although he is not good at words, he does not know how to quibble, but he is definitely not a submissive slave, the veins on his face are stretched so high when he is kneeling at this moment.

"Come here, push out the three rebels Wu Sangui, Ma Bao and Wu Yingguang, and behead them, and hang their corpses outside the city for three days!" Azig finally issued the killing order.

The Qing army who was in charge of the execution came and tied Wu Sangui and the three of them. Wu Sangui and Wu Yingguang did not dare to move, but Ma Bao was different. He was a bloody man who had just turned 20 years old. Daqing was considered loyal, but these tartars insisted on killing him on charges, so he would not do it now.

Ma Baoteng stood up immediately, "I see which of you dare to move! We and the prince are innocent. We are loyal to the Qing Dynasty and did not hesitate to shroud our bodies in horse leather. What is the crime? You don't distinguish between loyal and traitors and want to kill us, are you? Why?"

"Well, you little horse, can't you rebel?" Azig slapped the table angrily. How could he tolerate these Han people being so unreasonable in front of him? Resist, shoot to kill!"

Several Tatars drew their swords and came to arrest Ma Bao, but Ma Bao couldn't bear it any longer, "If you rebel, you will rebel, I won't serve you anymore!" He punched out a fist, and a Tatar with a knife flew out of the tent. The single knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
