Chapter 772 The doomsday of traitors!

(0772)

【Today's third update is delivered!】

"Uncle Shang, what should we do?"

Geng Jingzhong stood in front of Shang Kexi and asked in fear.

He was Geng Zhongming's son. He followed his father and defected to the Tartars and also became a member of the Han army flag. At the beginning, Geng Zhongming did not want his son to come, because Geng Jingzhong must come. He believed that following the Jin army into Northern Zhili, he would definitely be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, and live a strong addiction to the superiors.

Everyone knows that the defense of the Ming army in the mainland is very empty. After the Jin army enters, they will definitely be able to burn, kill and loot. The previous two times of Nanluo proved this view. Geng Jingzhong’s favorite thing to do is to rob, so he must not miss such a good opportunity.

However, he was excitedly following the Jin army south, and he had not yet had the opportunity to embark on his own journey of robbery, and received news that Ajige was defeated in Dongjiabao. Since then, the lives of the traitors have been getting worse day by day. The Tartars were in a bad mood and always used these traitor troops to vent their anger. This is a common example. Who said they were traitors?

Especially in the later battle of Dongjiabao, the Jin army commanded by Huang Taiji himself were defeated by the Hu Ben Army, and the life of the traitors was even more difficult. Many slave chiefs shirked the responsibility for failure to the point where the red-clothed cannons of the Han army flag were not fired effectively, believing that the Han army flag was afraid of the war and clamored to kill Shang Kexi and others. This angry request was finally curbed by Huang Taiji, otherwise Shang Kexi and others would have been dead under the knife.

After I died, Geng Jingzhong became completely depressed. He suddenly realized that it was a mistake to follow the Jin army Nanluo this time. He was originally going to enjoy it, but it turned out torment. The first two relaxed and pleasant journeys of Nanluo were completely turned into hell on the third trip. The contrast between the front and the back was too large, and he could not accept it at all.

Later, the war continued. With the decline of the Great Jin army, the lives of the traitors became increasingly difficult. They suffered more and more casualties, and their morale became increasingly declining. After leaving Hejian Mansion, they were attacked by the Hu Ben cavalry continuously, and they were almost collapsed. If they had not been afraid of the Great Jin army's force, they would have even fled again.

In fact, since Zhang Zhun appeared, the life of the traitors has been very difficult. Zhang Zhun’s plan is very vicious, that is, to openly ask Huang Taiji to exchange traitors for Dorgon, Duoduo and others. There is no doubt that such exchange conditions have made many Tartars moved. After all, there are still many Tartars who support Dorgon. In their opinion, it is completely worth it to exchange these traitors for Dorgon.

No matter how active these traitors are, how loyal they show, and how closely they unite around Huang Taiji, however, in the eyes of most Tartars, they are dispensable, and it is not necessary to consider using their lives to exchange for Dorgon and Duoduo. Only Huang Taiji firmly rejected Zhang Zhun's proposal.

Huang Taiji's persistence makes sense. Once he agreed to Zhang Zhun's conditions, all Han people would rise up and rebelled, and the cornerstone of the Great Jin Kingdom would be shaken. This is absolutely impossible. However, ordinary Tartars did not have such ideological awareness and such a profound understanding. They just simply felt that Huang Taiji rejected Zhang Zhun's proposal out of personal grudges. Huang Taiji did not want Dorgon to come back, nor did he want Dorgon to come back to compete with Haoge for the next Khan throne, so these traitors had room to survive.

Such a misunderstanding really made Huang Taiji helpless. No matter how he explained it, no one would believe it. In fact, too many people knew about the grudge between him and Dorgon. This was definitely not a good thing. The direct consequence of Huang Taiji's rejection of Zhang Zhun's proposal was that many Tartars developed hostility towards the traitors. They hated these traitors and hated them for using magic tricks, which fascinated Huang Taiji, so that Huang Taiji made such a confused choice.

Under the control of this anger, as long as there is a chance to torture the Han army flag, those slave chiefs will not let it go. Setting up camps, cooking and carrying water, and patrolling in the middle of the night are all the work of the Han army flag. Originally, the Korean Servant Army was also a life of slavery and was not qualified to be on par with the Han army flag. As a result, even the Korean Servant Army dared to shout at the Han army flag.

"What are you doing so nervous?"

Shang Kexi said a little unhappy.

"Uncle, do you think Da Khan will leave us?"

Geng Jingzhong asked obscurely.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Shang Kexi frowned and said.

Speaking bad things about Huang Taiji behind his back, isn’t it because he thought he was not dying fast enough? There were many Tartars who were dissatisfied with the Han military flag and usually came to cause trouble from time to time. It would be strange if Tartars heard Geng Jingzhong’s words like this, it would be strange if they didn’t cause any big storm.

"I... just a little worried..."

Geng Jingzhong said in pain.

He was very nervous when he left Hejian Prefecture and felt that he was very likely to be unable to go back to the frontier. Because if he was really in a hurry, Huang Taiji and other Tartars could turn around and run away. Only those of the Han army flags and the hardships of the Korean vassal army could not even run away. It is conceivable that if they fell into the hands of the Hu Ben Army, they would end up like this.

Kong Youde had been publicly executed by the Ming court, which is what they knew. The way of execution is said to be the same as Yuan Chonghuan, that is Lingchi. They do know something about the Lingchi dish, which is definitely the greatest invention in human history. It is said that a clever executioner can prevent the prisoner from dying for three days. If he dies in less than three days, then the executioner in charge of Lingchi will be punished himself.

Kong Youde originally thought that he could save his life with his past relationship. He was so naive. Emperor Chongzhen was on the head of fire, so how could he forgive him? Like Zhang Zhun, Emperor Chongzhen hated traitors very much, and he would never be ruthless about traitors.

"The Hu Ben Army is no big deal."

Shang Kexi said expressionlessly.

"Uncle, at this time, are you still talking like this?"

Geng Jingzhong is really anxious.

He is still young, and he is still very nostalgic about the world. He really doesn't want to die, and he still wants to continue living.

"What do you want?"

Shang Kexi still said expressionlessly.

"I……"

Geng Jingzhong was stunned.

Yes, what else can he do by this time?

Surrender to the Hu Ben Army? Don't joke. Zhang Zhun treats them traitors more cruel than those of the Tartars. It is said that Dorgon is still alive and Duoduo is still alive, but there is no living traitor leader. All the Ming army troops that surrender to the Great Jin Kingdom, that is, the so-called rebels, will be pulled out as long as they are officers. Only ordinary soldiers can survive. Even ordinary soldiers are dispersed home and they will never be allowed to touch their weapons again.

They are all senior leaders of the rebels. If they fall into Zhang Zhun's hands, even if they are not Ling Chi, it will be the result of public hanging. It is said that there are even thrown directly to ordinary people to deal with. Geng Jingzhong doesn't know what the outcome will be if he is thrown into the hands of angry people, but one thing is certain, it will definitely be worse than public hanging. Maybe it will be even worse than Ling Chi.

“Does we really have no way out?”

After a moment of silence, Geng Jingzhong said with difficulty.

"No."

Shang Kexi's expressionless answer.

Geng Jingzhong looked up at Shang Kexi, trying to see something from his face. But, unfortunately, all he saw on Shang Kexi's face was death and despair. Yes, Shang Kexi did not lie to him. They really had no way to live.

Since the Great Jin army was defeated by the Hu Ben Army, the fate of these traitors has been destined. No matter how much Huang Taiji trusted and protected them, he would definitely not care about their existence in the critical situation. The reason is very simple, it is because of their traitors.

No one will cherish a group of people who betray their motherland and only know how to find wealth and glory. Even their motherland can be betrayed, and what else can't be betrayed? Since they have embarked on this path, they have to endure such a result. Now, it is their doomsday.

"If I had known this, why should I have…"

Geng Jingzhong drooped his head and sighed with great bitterness.

He really didn't understand why things had reached this point today? If they had known that they would end up like this today, they would not be traitors.

Suddenly, Shang Kexi's ears quietly stood up, listening to the movements around the wilderness. Geng Jingzhong discovered Shang Kexi's strange actions, so he quietly studded his ears, listened to the surroundings, and kept turning his eyes to observe everything around him. Suddenly, he discovered something and said with some confusion: "The gunshots of the Hu Ben Army... seem to have stopped?"

Shang Kexi nodded expressionlessly and said coldly: "Zhang Zhun is coming."

Geng Jingzhong said in a disloyal voice: "Ah?"

Shang Kexi nodded gloomyly.

The gunshots of the Hu Ben Army suddenly stopped at this time, and the idiots knew that it was not a good thing.

Geng Jingzhong suddenly felt that all his strength seemed to be slowly dissipating, and even his breathing began to become difficult. There was also hallucination in front of him. The hallucination was that he was publicly hanged, then was then lingchi, and finally threw himself into a large group of angry people.

Shang Kexi patted Geng Jingzhong's shoulder and said expressionlessly: "Pick up the weapon, do whatever you want. If you die in battle, you will think it is reunited with your father."

After saying that, he picked up his spear, put on his helmet, and walked away without looking back.

"I don't want to die..."

Geng Jingzhong collapsed on the ground with a thud and murmured to himself.

He doesn't want to die yet, really.
