Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 139 Human life is as cheap as a dog in troubled times

When his men heard this, they were a little surprised by his observation skills, and quickly followed him to take a look. Sure enough, they got closer and found that the person lying on the ground was indeed a woman. There were tears in the corners of her eyes and her hands were still moving unconsciously. Then, Ke Ren has lost consciousness.

Liu Yue saw the problem at a glance, squatted down quickly, and while helping Gao Qingxue, he ordered his subordinates: "Quick, bring some water!"

The kettle hidden next to the body still carries body temperature, which is really a rare good thing in this cold weather.

Even Gao Qingxue, who was unconscious, swallowed subconsciously when she felt warm water around her mouth.

At this time, no one cared about the dirt on her face, they just quietly looked around.

I can't say whether it's pitiful or not, I just look at it like that.In their hearts, more hope is that this woman, preferably the woman they are looking for.In this way, the emperor's will can be fulfilled.

Of course, this does not mean that these Jin Yiwei are hard-hearted, but in today's world, there are not too many people who die on the side of the road because of hunger and cold, they are already numb.

In troubled times, human life is as cheap as a dog, and the dead are really not too normal!
Especially since the Manchu army invaded the pass, they were even more hateful than locusts. Wherever they went, they not only looted and looted all food and valuable things, but even people were not spared. They were not robbed by them. To be taken away means to be killed by them and become corpses that prove the troubled times.

Guessing that the water was almost drunk, Liu Yue returned the kettle to his subordinates, stretched out his hand to pinch the woman, and gave emergency rescue for a while, finally saw that she was angry, and slowly opened her eyes.

His eyes slowly became brighter, and Gao Qingxue subconsciously thought that he had arrived in the world after death.

"father……"

"mother……"

Unconsciously calling, when she slowly realized that she was being hugged by Jin Yiwei's people, and many people were looking at her, she suddenly understood that it was the group of Jin Yiwei knights who turned back and rescued her. Myself, I am not dead yet!

It was too late to be moved, and she didn't care to thank her. Gao Qingxue's first reaction was to grab Liu Yue's arm and said quickly, "Wu Zhong... Wu Zhong let me..."

Although she drank some water, her body somewhat relaxed, but after all, she was suffering from hunger and cold, and her body was so weak that she still couldn't speak clearly when she was excited.This also made her even more anxious, afraid that she could not explain clearly.

However, when she uttered the word Wu Zhong, Liu Yue's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly confirmed without waiting for her to finish speaking: "You are entrusted by Wu Zhong, and you want to find our Commander, aren't you?"

When Gao Qingxue heard it, he was a little stunned. How could he guess it before he finished his words?
However, to her surprise, she was still behind, and then she heard the General Banner of Jinyiwei ask her again: "Is your name Gao Qingxue?"

"..." At this moment, Gao Qingxue was really stunned, she couldn't figure it out, how did the General Banner of Jinyiwei know her name?This is impossible!
There was no time to think about it, feeling that talking was too time-consuming, Gao Qingxue didn't know where the strength came from, she nodded vigorously, tears flowed out again, as if the little water she drank just now had completely melted into hers tears.

At this moment, she already knew that what Wu Zhong had entrusted to her had already been completed.That is to say, the revenge of parents should be able to avenge part of it!To have this result is really worth dying for!
Seeing her move, Liu Yue was also very happy. If he missed it, he would never be able to fulfill the emperor's will.Being able to come back to save this roadside person like a ghost is my luck, and it is also the luck of this woman!
Thinking of this, he quickly softened his attitude and said: "You don't need to say more, the emperor already knows about your affairs and sent us to pick you up. Your body is very weak now, you should rest well."

After saying that, he didn't think Gao Qingxue was dirty at this time. After carefully picking her up, he went to the war horse.

The rest of the Jinyiwei captains naturally knew that this woman was the person they were looking for by order. Although they didn't know why they were looking for her, they found her just like this by coincidence and completed this mission. It is also very happy.

They followed behind Liu Yue, and immediately chatted about this matter, all of them lamented Liu Yue's carefulness, and also lamented Gao Qingxue's fate.

Gao Qingxue leaned on a warm chest, listening to them talking, she had come to her senses in her heart, and then she was very shocked, how could the emperor know about her?Could it be that Wu Zhong's Jin Yiwei had another method to report to the emperor?But this seems impossible. According to what they said, they came directly from the capital. Wu Zhong, there is no time to deliver the news to the capital anyway, right?
Unable to figure it out, she felt that the emperor seemed a little unpredictable, and she couldn't help being in awe.

But soon, her mind turned back to her sisters who were imprisoned in the city by Jianlu, and she immediately became worried again.

And Liu Yue, with the help of his subordinates, carried Gao Qingxue on the horse, and then told them: "Go, go to the army, we have another errand to do!"

But at this time, at the bottom of the city, just as the soldiers of Qin were about to swarm up and launch a siege, they were surprised to find that the broken city gate was opened from the inside, and a large number of people rushed out.

Almost at the same time, many more people came out on top of the city.

Qin Bing outside the city couldn't help being stunned when he saw this situation and took a closer look.

Whether it was at the city gate or on the top of the city, the people who appeared were all tied behind their backs, and behind them, there was a Tartar guarding them.Judging from their clothes, they are all Ming people.And among the people who were pushed out, there were both men and women.

What's going on before the soldiers of the Ming army reacted?At the gate of the city, the Tartars, who were guarding the people, raised their knives and slashed at the people in front of them.

Immediately there was a scream of misery, and the people who were stabbed fell to the ground in pain. For a moment, they didn't die, they just lay on the ground and struggled.But it can be seen that death is only a matter of a while.

On the top of the city, those Tartars pushed the people in front of them hard, and pushed them off the top of the city.

Although the city wall of this county is not high, no matter what, it has a certain height.The civilians with their hands tied behind their backs were pushed down so roughly that those with better lives would die on the ground with their heads on the ground.Those who were less fortunate, with limbs or necks broken, could only lie down at the base of the city wall, howling and struggling in pain.In today's bad weather, these people will die sooner or later.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of lives were wasted!

Seeing the scene in front of them, the Ming army officers and soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then became angry.What do these Liaodong Tatars mean by killing the people like this?
Before they could figure it out, they saw another group of Ming people being pushed to the top of the city by the Liaodong Tatars, and some were also pushed out of the city gate.Then, I saw a shout on the top of the city: "Listen to the Ming troops outside the city, if you dare to attack the city, we will kill all the Ming people!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Weiquan turned his head to look at Du Du with a cruel expression on his face, nodded and bowed for a while, then turned back again, and continued to shout with his breastfeeding strength: "If these Daming people are so If you die, it is you who caused it. Even if you win the battle, you will not escape death. The imperial court will not let you go!"

Ever since the people of the Ming Dynasty appeared in the city, the Ming army fell silent because of the sudden strange appearance.Now, apart from the people who were crying and moaning bitterly, no one spoke, so Chen Weiquan's voice could be clearly heard by the Ming army who was about to attack the city.

At this time, all the soldiers of the Ming army understood the intention of building captives in the city.They are using the lives of the Ming people in the city as a threat to demand that this side not attack the city!
This time, everyone was very angry.I have seen cold-blooded people, but I have never seen such cold-blooded people; I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people!These tartars are still men, and they used such a method?

However, although they are angry and shameless, the Tatars actually used such methods. So what should they do on their side?
Almost all the soldiers of the Ming army turned their heads to look at where Shuai Qi was.

Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, who were originally relaxed and thought they could save hundreds of thousands of people immediately, turned livid.They also did not expect that the Tartars would use this trick to prevent them from attacking the city!
If only generals were in charge of the army this time, such as the commander-in-chief, they might not be threatened by these Tartars.However, both of them were born as Jinshi, and those who have read the books of sages have more scruples than Wu Fu and pay more attention to their own reputation.The county magistrate, Chen Weiquan, obviously knew the difference, and the two armies threatened him before the formation.

"Shameless!" At this time, although Hong Chengchou was always careful about his image, he couldn't help but cursed.

Sun Chuanting's eyes were fixed on the top of the city, and he said word by word: "It really is not a coincidence that the Tartars can rise, they really use everything!"

Both of them had to admit that this tactic of the Tartars in the city was really effective against them.

These Tartars killed a group of Ming people as soon as they came up, and they deliberately didn't kill them, so they let them cry there.This is to remind the outside of the city and the commander of the Ming army that they will not be soft in the slightest, and they will definitely not just talk and scare them.If the Ming army really dared to attack the city, they would dare to use the people of Daming to block their guns and massacre them!

In fact, the Tartars did not use similar methods.Regardless of whether it is inside or outside the pass, when the Tartars attack the Daming city, they often use this trick to drive away the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers of the Ming army who were captured by them attack the city, so as to disintegrate the city defenders The fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Relatively speaking, in that situation, the defenders had no choice but to be more ruthless. They would kill everyone who came to attack the city. It was obviously a last resort, and there would not be too many people to care about it.

But right now, it's different. This is the Ming army's main attack.

Once the Ming army attacked the city, if a large number of Ming people in the city died, everyone would blame their deaths on the Ming army, especially the leader of the army.After all, you can choose not to attack.As long as they don't attack the city, these people can survive!

If the number of people is less, it may be nothing.After all, human life is as cheap as a dog in troubled times, how many people would care about the life and death of ordinary people?
However, there are more than [-] people in the city now!This is a huge number. Although the lives of ordinary people are insignificant in this troubled world, the lives of more than [-] people have a huge weight!

Once an attack is ordered, the city will be in chaos.The Tatars are capable of anything. If they set the whole city on fire, there will definitely be countless casualties among the people.Even if only tens of thousands of people die, they will be attacked by political opponents, and they will still use the slogan of justice to make decisions for the people and redress their grievances.

As an official army of the imperial court, if these two hundred thousand people were "forced" to death, even the emperor would not be able to bear the consequences!
Whether it was Hong Chengchou, who cherished his feathers, or Sun Chuanting, who could offend a large number of people with the ancestral system, neither had the guts to order the Ming army to ignore everything in front of them and continue to attack the city.

What is even more infuriating is that Du Du on the top of the city didn't want to give the Ming army time to think about it, so he directly ordered to kill another batch of Ming people, and then pushed the next batch of Ming people to the top of the city. The Ming army outside the city put forward a condition: "Return the remains of the Qing warrior immediately without delay!"

With their lifeline seized, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting looked at each other helplessly.If there is any more delay, the Jianlu on the top of the city will kill people without hesitation.

The first rank is military merit, and it is a silver reward. It is a rare big victory, and it is rare to get so many heads at one time. Under such despicable methods of the Tartars, there is no way but to return them to the Tartars.

At this moment, the Ming army was gnashing their teeth in anger at the despicability of the Tartars in the city, but there was nothing they could do.With a military order, I have to give it.And Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting also had to issue such military orders. They couldn't bear the consequences of batch after batch of Ming civilians being massacred in front of the two armies.

Hong Chengchou let out a long sigh, turned his head and said to Sun Chuanting: "Get out, stay here and don't know what demands these unscrupulous tartars will make!"

Sun Chuanting was also helpless, nodded and said: "I can only withdraw!"

At this moment, a group of knights in flying fish uniforms came to Shuaiqi's place.Both Hong and Sun noticed it, and couldn't help being a little surprised, wondering what Jin Yiwei was doing here at this time?
The Jinyiwei team that came over was the team led by Liu Yue. They had already seen what happened on the top of the city on the way to Shuaiqi, and they were naturally very resentful about it.

Seeing the two coaches, Liu Yue took the initiative to ask: "What should the two adults do with the current plan?"

Jin Yiwei represented the emperor to a certain extent, even if their military rank was low, under normal circumstances, no one would ignore them.

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou replied: "The lives of more than two hundred thousand people are at stake. We can't force them to death. We can't fight here!"

It was time to withdraw. Liu Yue didn't say much about it, but he still had things to do, so he said to Hong Chengchou: "My lord, I have the emperor's decree. Please cooperate with me!"

After speaking, he made demands on Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting.

Upon hearing this request, Hong and Sun could not help but look at each other, wondering what the hell the emperor was doing?

However, although it is unclear, since it is the emperor's will, it doesn't take much anyway, so we can only follow it.

So, before the entire group of Ming soldiers left, they suddenly faced the city and shouted in unison: "Talk to yourself, talk to yourself..."

Nearly [-] Ming troops shouted in unison, and even the ants hiding in the ant holes probably could have heard them.

After shouting, the Ming army withdrew.

On the top of the city, Du Du, who was proud of himself, was stunned and said to himself?What does it mean?Could it be that they left and let themselves talk to themselves here?

Others couldn't figure it out either, they couldn't figure out what the Ming army's voices meant before they left.
Inside and outside the city, only Wu Zhong, a member of the Jinyiwei family, understood immediately after hearing this. This was the emperor reminding himself not to send any more messages, just talk to himself!

Although this decree is really unbelievable, the emperor actually emphasized again that it can only be done in accordance with the decree!
