Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 27 Simple and rude, those who surrender to the Tartars will be killed without mercy
In Suizhou City, there is a famous Yuan Shangshu Mansion, which is the former residence of Yuan Keli, a famous general who fought against Qing Dynasty in Ming Dynasty.

After Xu Dingguo occupied Suizhou, he lived in Yuan Shangshu's mansion.A few days ago, he planned to trap Gao Jie in this mansion.

At three poles in the sun, Xu Dingguo was still lying on the belly of the oiran of the brothel in Suizhou City, dreaming his big dream of spring and autumn.

Xu Dingguo was a typical martial artist in the late Ming Dynasty. He was illiterate and believed in the belief that "people do not destroy themselves for themselves".He claims to be a smart man, has seen through the current situation, and predicted that the world will be full of Qing Dynasty sooner or later.

Chongzhen was chased and beaten by Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng was chased and beaten by Manqing, isn't that a clear proof?
So when Liu Fangliang's army withdrew from Kaifeng, Xu Dingguo hurriedly sent envoys to the capital to find someone to ask for connections, and finally got online with Duoduo.

The two parties agreed that when Duoduo led the army to go south, Xu Dingguo immediately led the crowd to surrender.To express his sincerity, Xu Dingguo had secretly sent his son across the Yellow River to the Qing court as a hostage.

Gao Jie was easily killed a few days ago, and Gao Jie's subordinates fled without a fight, which further fueled Xu Dingguo's determination and arrogance to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is really hopeless, and after a lifetime of messing around, he only became a general soldier in Henan, which is the end.Just wait and see, when Man Qing goes south, he must rely on his own strength, and the title of king and marquis is just around the corner!
This is also the case in history. When Duoduo went south, he only led 3 soldiers and horses. Xu Dingguo led more than [-] people to surrender.

However, after Xu Dingguo surrendered, he was not reused, and only a small viscount was granted.What's even more tragic is that his son was exiled to Ningguta and became a armored slave of the Tartars.

But now, it is impossible for Xu Dingguo to even become a viscount, his dream was shattered by the rumbling cannon.

"Grandma is a bear, who is firing the cannon?" Xu Dingguo got up and yelled.

The oiran said in various ways: "Maybe it's the soldiers in the city who are practicing, why make such a fuss. Master, why don't we practice again?"

"It's not right, it's not right! There's too much movement, there aren't so many cannons in the city, and I have a pitifully small family, how can I let those bastards waste shells like this!"

Xu Dingguo jumped out of bed and ran to the window barefoot.Pushing open the window, I saw a cannonball falling from the sky, hitting the street firmly, cracking the bluestone slabs and flying gravel.

A servant pushed open the door, ran in in a panic and shouted: "Master, it's not good, there are troops attacking Suizhou City!"

"Is it Gao Jie's subordinates, or the Dashun Army?"

"Not at all, it's the Ming army from Ningling, and the emperor's personal conquest!"

"Ah..." Xu Dingguo was stunned, he had calculated thousands of times, and he never expected such an accident to happen.

To be honest, he never paid attention to the emperor and the more than 1 soldiers in Ningling County, and they dared to take the initiative to attack Suizhou City without looking for trouble. What kind of drama is this singing?
After regaining his composure, he hurriedly put on his clothes and put on his shoes, and ordered: "Defend the city! Tell the bastards, use the strength they use to show their prestige on women's bellies, and I will definitely guard the city for me. What about the emperor's personal conquest? It’s useless for the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu to come! When the Qing soldiers go south, our glory and wealth will come…”

Before he finished speaking, another general ran up and shouted loudly: "General, the south gate has been blasted open, and the enemy has entered the city!"

Xu Dingguo fell to the ground, his eyes widened and he said, "Why so fast? How many people came from the other party?"

"More than 1, but the firepower is too strong!"

Xu Dingguo was speechless, only a quarter of an hour had passed since he heard the gunfire.The Ming army in Ningling has become elite, are they heavenly soldiers and generals?

Xu Dingguo in the city found it unbelievable, but Li Cunming outside the city found it unsatisfying.

The defense of Ningling was a battle to defend the city. Li Cunming wanted to see the soldiers' ability to attack the city this time.

Suizhou City was much stronger than Ningling County, and there were [-] soldiers in the city. It must have been a difficult battle, but the result surprised him.

When he arrived outside the south gate, Zhou Yuji didn't talk too much at all. After choosing the address, he asked the soldiers to bring in 100 general cannons, more than [-] tiger crouching cannons, and five red barbarian cannons. The sky is falling apart.

Moreover, two of the Hongyi cannons just aimed at the city gate and fired, and the huge solid shells roared out, piercing the city gate in two or three hits.

The soldiers just fought desperately to the bottom of the city and crossed the moat without climbing the city wall, and entered the city swaggeringly.

Li Cunming stroked his chin and said, "General Zhou, you are too simple and rough, I still want to watch the siege battle!"

"Your Majesty, isn't this kind of siege battle exciting? To be honest, I have fought all my life, and today is the most luxurious thing. The shells seem to be free of money, so proud!" Zhou Yuji laughed.

Li Cunming had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, we will become richer and richer in the future."

Then he turned his head and said, "Military Master, follow me into the city."

……

Xu Dingguo claimed to have 3 horses in his hands, but in fact most of them were bandits, prostitutes, and some village party members who used their connections to enter the military camp to make a living, and their combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning.

After the Ming army entered the city, they rarely encountered resistance. 3 horses are like [-] pigs, obediently surrendered.

By noon, the battle was completely over, and the city of Suizhou changed hands.

Xu Dingguo was tied up by Wu Hua Da and brought to the hall. He was in a trance and never recovered.Damn it, why did Suizhou City, with its thick walls and tall buildings, turn into rubbish?

"Xu Dingguo, are you convicted?" Li Cunming asked while drinking tea.

"Kneel down!" Zhou Yuji kicked Xu Dingguo hard.

The two of them were old acquaintances. Xu Dingguo had served as the general of Shanxi before, and the two had dealt with each other, but Zhou Yuji had always despised Xu Dingguo's character.

Xu Dingguo threw himself on the ground like a dog eating shit, finally came back to his senses, saw the emperor in dragon robe, hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to sacrifice my soldiers and horses, please spare my life!"

"Do you think I have a crush on your soldiers? What a joke! You are the only one who treats them as treasures. Let me ask you, why did you kill Gao Jie?"

"It was Gao Jie who wanted to occupy Suizhou City, and this minister had no choice."

"I knew you would say that, but the fact that you killed Gao Jie is well known, and this crime cannot be escaped. But your crime is not only that, you also secretly colluded with and surrendered to the Manchurian Tartars, a heinous crime!"

Xu Dingguo was taken aback, this matter was done in such a tight manner, how did the emperor know?
Li Cunming didn't give him a chance to speak, and his tone became extremely cold: "You trap and kill Gao Jie, it's nothing more than taking your life for your life. But surrendering to the Tartars, it's not enough to die a hundred times, and killing your nine clans is still relatively light!"

"Yuan Keli was a hero for a lifetime. He devoted himself to fighting the Tartars until he died. You lived in his mansion, but you acted in collusion with the Tartars. Don't you think you have tarnished Yuan Shangshu's mansion?"

"Gong Yonggu, let Jin Yiwei take good care of Xu Dinguo and show off your housekeeping skills!"

Gong Yonggu rubbed his hands and said: "Tatars have ugly hairstyles, like rat tails. Since Xu Dingguo likes to deal with rats, I have an idea. I will brush his body carefully with an iron brush and sprinkle salt on the wounds. , catching many mice and slowly gnawing them, it will definitely make his life worse than death."

Xu Dingguo's expression changed drastically. He suddenly faced death and risked his life. He cursed loudly: "A scholar cannot be killed but cannot be humiliated. Chongzhen, if you torture me like this, what's the difference between you and Jie Zhou?"

Li Cunming originally thought that Gong Yonggu's method was a bit cruel, but when he heard Xu Dingguo's curse, his anger suddenly rose: "Anyone who surrenders to the Tatars will be killed without mercy, and I won't kill you no matter what! You think I'm cruel, and the Tatars will kill you at every turn." Tucheng, why don’t you think the Tartars are cruel?”
