Chapter 132 (14) The envoy from hell

33-year-old Wu Sangui turned around and returned to Shanhaiguan after learning the news that Beijing had fallen. What to do next? I will settle down in Shanhaiguan from now on, okay? no. In the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers.Wu Sangui wanted to avoid things, but Li Zicheng was thinking about him. While Wu Sangui was worrying in Shanhaiguan, he suddenly met a man, and he managed to avoid scaring him to death. Why is Wu Sangui afraid? Because what he met was a dead person. This person, named Zhang Ruoqi, is a doctor of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty.Because of the spoofs during the Songjin War, Hong Chengchou was forced to fight early. As a result, 130,000 Ming troops were annihilated, and all important towns in Liaodong were lost.Therefore, Zhang Ruoqi was handed over to a military court and sentenced to death at the first instance without appeal.

That is to say, theoretically Zhang Ruoqi is dead, at least his account has been cancelled.But to Wu Sangui's surprise, he saw Zhang Ruoqi again, and Lao Zhang also brought a large bundle of family letters to Wu Sangui. The family letters were all written by officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who had surrendered to Li Zicheng. In the letters, the brothers recalled the past and hoped for a better life in the future. It turned out that although this old Zhang was sentenced to death and sent to death row, he hadn't been executed yet. Li Zicheng went to Beijing and broke the cage, so Zhang Ruoqi got a new life.

Zhang Ruoqi reported to Li Zicheng the actual process of the Songjin War in detail, and told Li Zicheng that Wu Sangui, the commander of Ningyuan, was very brave, and no one would accept him, only Zhang Ruoqi, who was a respectful disciple every time he saw him Li, nicknamed the teacher. Zhang Ruoqi said: Actually, I hate the red tape between teachers and students the most, but the students are so filial, the old man is too embarrassed to refuse. Li Zicheng was overjoyed, and immediately named Zhang Ruoqi the defense history of Shanhaiguan, collected a batch of letters urging surrender, and came to recruit Wu Sangui to surrender.

In fact, this old Zhang really did not lie, Wu Sangui really admired his talent and learning, and worshiped him as a teacher. The reason why the teacher and the student can get together is because they have the same problem, and they are willing to save each other from the dire straits. After being liberated, Zhang Ruoqi is now the introducer, introducing Wu Sangui to join the Dashun Revolutionary Army.Later, Wu Sangui was also the introducer, introducing Zhang Ruoqi to join the army of the Qing Dynasty. Seeing Lao Zhang, Wu Sangui was frightened, and hurriedly put his fingertips on his mouth: Shh, teacher, please keep your voice down, come with me, don't let people see you.

Wu Sangui quietly took Zhang Ruoqi into a small dark room, locked the door, and began to worry: This Li Zicheng is recruiting me, should I agree? Hesitant, indecisive, and then go out to relax. As soon as I went out, I saw a familiar face: Tang Tong. Behind Tang Tong, there was a large group of people following him. Upon closer inspection, they all seemed to know each other. They had either fought side by side on the battlefield, or scolded each other in the Ming Dynasty Hall. At that time, Wu Sangui had a big head and didn't dare to say anything, so he asked this group of people to come in quickly.Tang Tong also knew that he was in a dangerous place, so he quietly followed Wu Sangui, trotting like a group of thieves, and ran into an empty room.

Wu Sangui quickly closed the door, turned around and asked: What's the matter, you guys come here with so many people, don't you want to do some beheading? Tang Tong said with a smile: Brother, you are an expert in beheading among millions of troops. Who can behead you? Let me introduce you. ... They are all old acquaintances. We used to stand in a row and kowtow to Chong Zhen. Bring 40,000 taels of silver and reward the Liao soldiers. In addition, there are 10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of gold, and 1,000 commemorative coins, which are specially rewarded to Wu Sangui. There is also an imperial edict, promoting Wu Sangui as marquis.

Hou Bibo is one level higher, which shows that Li Zicheng attaches great importance to Wu Sangui. Another letter was written by Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui's own father, in Beijing. However, the tone of this letter was definitely not Wu Xiang's words. It was later found out that this letter was written by Niu Jinxing, the prime minister of Dashun, and asked Wu Xiang to copy it after writing it. The letter said: Wu Sangui, good boy.It's really good to be promoted again.The death of Ming Dynasty is terrible.Know current affairs, review quickly.Returning to Dashun, you have to do it as soon as possible... Anyway, the letter contains a lot of quotations and allusions.
