When I think of his resentment again, it is already another season of crabapple blooming more than 300 years later.

——I spent a day in a dilapidated corner of the library and found an even more dilapidated set of "Records of Emperor Shizu of the Qing Dynasty".

—God see you.Among them, the fourth volume really still retains the original text of his first negotiation with the Qing soldiers, which actually said: "Because of the isolation of Ningyuan, our country ordered Sangui to abandon Ningyuan and control the mountains and seas. Heaven and man are indignant! Sangui has received the great favor of the country, and wants to raise the teacher to ask the crime. Now that the troops are not assembled, he is crying blood for help. I beg for the words of loyalty and righteousness of the lonely officials who have subjugated the country, and quickly select elite soldiers. Dumen, destroy the bandits in the court, and show righteousness to China!"

That day, I read word by word.The literary spirit between the vertical and horizontal letters is like his breathing, kind and clear, with rhythm and frequency that I am familiar with.The sun is very good, slanting on the old wooden bookshelf.Outside is Kunming in May, the raindrops hit the leaves, pattering, following the clouds, flying for a while, then passing away again.

I stroked the yellowed paper lightly with my fingertips, recalling the night chat with him over 300 years ago.

An old library card fell from a book on a wooden bookshelf.

It shows the only borrowing record before electronic equipment and information technology became popular.The reader is called Qian Fafa, and the date of borrowing the book is [-].I froze for a moment, tears streaming down my face.

I was moved because there was such a person, and at the same time, my heart ached because there was only such a person.

"My lord, people of our country and people, there are still many who know and remember to scold you, but there may not be any who really understand you."

... In 1644 AD, the Wu family army was on the verge of running out of food and grass.

At that time, Wu Sangui put down the surrender letter sent by his uncle Zu Dashou more than once, and climbed to the highest point of Ningyuan City.Under the sunshine of the 16th year of Chongzhen, there is an extremely wide and far-reaching view: people standing on it can see the colorful yellow sand and distant roads, and they can also see the outposts and forts that were everywhere in the distance to defend the Ming Dynasty.Even the uniforms of the soldiers standing on it can be seen.

And that is not Hanfu.

Everything that can be seen has a deterrent effect on the 32-year-old Wu Sangui.This has nothing to do with the strength of the opponent, but just a person's perception of the fate of this era:

When the sun was setting and the clouds were rolling in and out in the twilight, the unstoppable sound of the waves in the distance floated into his ears one after another with a salty smell.

He could feel the heaven and the earth, the sea of ​​clouds working together, shaking him who was as small as a millet grain, what a small lonely city Ningyuan.

And what about the city?

It is 20 Ming soldiers and their families.In the city of Beijing not far away, the battered Emperor Chongzhen was still wandering around, unable to come up with an accurate idea.Is it to make Wu Sangui stick to Ningyuan to resist the tiger and wolf soldiers of the Qing Dynasty outside the pass?Or should he be ordered to retreat to the capital to resist the advancing army of Li Zicheng?

It was not until March 17, 17th year of Chongzhen that he officially issued an edict to abandon Ningyuan and invite Wu Sangui and other officials to join King Jingqin.This delayed precious time. On March 20, [-], Wu Sangui led [-] people to the imperial capital.

So he was one step too late, and finally he could no longer reach that imperial city as a minister of the Ming Dynasty.

The land of Jinghua under the billowing smoke and dust has all belonged to Li Zicheng.

The new ruler, who was destitute and suddenly rich, was counting the corpses in the palace, while frantically trampling on the first good area under the corpses.Of course, he didn't forget that there is another very important thing in order to stabilize the country, which is to welcome the general Wu Sangui who followed the late emperor, sighed, almost committed suicide, and persuaded him to surrender.

Therefore, according to historical records, since March 21, Zhang Ruolin, Fang Silang, and Wang Zeyao, governor of Miyun, under the instruction of the new master, have been carrying ten thousand taels of silver and one thousand brocade coins to outside the city to persuade them to surrender.

Sangui remained silent.

Even so, a young general's self-esteem and pride were hit unprecedentedly by the harsh situation.He settled down silently, and secretly summoned his confidants to discuss.

"The capital city was lost, the former emperor came to heaven, and Sangui received the country's kindness, and it is appropriate to repay it with death. But the king of Chuang is powerful, and the world will fall, and the army alone cannot stand on its own. Now that the king of Chuang is here, will he kill it? Will he welcome it?"

The subordinates who were already in a panic, Qi Qi said: "Life and death today, but the general's order."

Everyone said, listen to him.

He thought about it, but he still couldn't make any decisions.

It was at this time that the spy from the capital brought those intolerable news.

Immediately afterwards, the letter of persuasion written by his father Wu Xiang under duress was also delivered to the account.

Wu Xiang said, "Woohoo!"

Son, "The opportunity has been lost, and the fate cannot be reversed. My lord is dead, and my father will wait for a while. I will come down this morning for your sake."

I'm almost finished, you surrender now.

That's what Wang Ye's father said back then—he was really a spineless guy.
