Night, Forbidden City.
Liu Yu sat on the chair and looked at Wu Sangui, who was lying on the ground in front of him, with a strange expression.
Wu Sangui and Dorgon had been captured alive. Compared to Dorgon who had been knocked unconscious, Wu Sangui was in a much worse state.
At most, Dorgon's face would be disfigured. Although he would inevitably die in the end, it was still much better than Wu Sangui's current broken arms and legs.
He was really missing an arm.
Wu Sangui's left arm had been chopped off, and his right calf had been shattered. In order to prevent Wu Sangui from dying, he had already sawed it off.
It could be said that Wu Sangui's current appearance was so miserable that he had no friends.
"Tell me, I'm curious, why did you surrender to the Qing Dynasty?”Liu Yu asked curiously.
He did not touch Chen Yuanyuan or Wu Sangui's house. Instead, he sent an imperial edict to recruit him.
But in the end, Wu Sangui directly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
This made Liu Yu very unhappy, but at the same time, he felt very strange.
"What else can I do if I don't surrender to the Manchu Empire?”
Wu Sangui said weakly. His eyes were ashen.
"Surrender to me. I even sent you an imperial edict. Don't say that you don't understand such an obvious intention.”Liu Yu curled his lips and said.
"Hehe…I'll rely on you. What do you have then?
Can you give out the rations of 70,000 soldiers at Shanhaiguan?
"At that time, in my opinion, you were also a traitor. Moreover, you were not even as good as Li Zicheng. You only picked up a bargain and occupied the capital.
What can I get by relying on you? To the east is Dorgon, to the west is Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and to the south is Nanming.
I just didn't expect that Li Zicheng and Dorgon would lose. Zhang Xianzhong and Nan Ming would definitely not be your match.
If I had known this would happen, I, Wu Sangui, wouldn't have surrendered and ended up in such a state.”
Wu Sangui hated him. He hated Liu Yu, he hated Dorgon, and he hated himself.
If it wasn't for his misjudgment, he wouldn't have surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
After all, even though he had 70,000 mercenaries at Shanhai Pass, they did not have any supplies. If they dragged on for a few months, they would be finished without anyone attacking them.
Wu Sangui had also considered many things before surrendering to the Manchu Dynasty.
In history, Wu Sangui had thought of surrendering to Li Zicheng.
In the end, when Li Zicheng was in Beijing, he played with Chen Yuanyuan.
Then, they wanted to send troops to attack Shanhaiguan, which eventually led to Wu Sangui surrendering to the Manchu Dynasty.
But now, although Liu Yu didn't touch Chen Yuanyuan and his participation, Wu Sangui couldn't contact Li Zicheng either.
There was no way to surrender to Li Zicheng. Liu Yu's side only occupied a capital city and did not have much development. They were surrounded by enemies.
Therefore, Wu Sangui calculated and finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
"Old Wu…you're also a smart person, but you're just too smart and think too much.
Actually, if you don't do anything, even if you don't surrender to me, as long as you defend Shanhaiguan Pass and block the Qing army, I won't treat you badly in the future.
It's a pity that you're too smart. Perhaps it's because you've been with the Dong Lin Party for too long. When you encounter something, you don't think about how to solve it, but how to sell your master to surrender.
This is the key to your current fate. Therefore, you can't blame anyone else.”Liu Yu sighed.
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he waved his hand and had the soldiers carry Wu Sangui out.
"I, Wu Sangui, do not ask for my life, but I ask for my family to be spared. This is all my fault, and it has nothing to do with my family.”
At this moment, Wu Sangui suddenly struggled and shouted at Liu Yu.
Seeing that Liu Yu was indifferent, he endured the pain and got up with one hand and one foot. He knelt there and kowtowed to Liu Yu.
"It's not that I don't want to let you off, but you only think of your family. Have you never thought of the families of the 70,000 soldiers who risked their lives with you?
Have you ever thought about what would happen to the millions of people of Ming Dynasty if you let the Manchu Dynasty enter the pass?
You never thought about it. You only thought about yourself. You never thought about what would happen to the people or the soldiers.”Liu Yu said sternly.
"I'm guilty. Please let my family go.”
At this moment, Wu Sangui was still kowtowing. His broken leg was already bleeding.
Seeing Wu Sangui like this, Liu Yu turned his head and waved his hand at the soldier.
After Wu Sangui was dragged out, there was a trail of blood on the ground.
Liu Yu looked at Wu Sangui's figure being dragged out and slowly said,"
"I won't let you off, nor will I let your family off.
Because of your decision, China suffered a hundred years of humiliation and fell behind the western barbarians.
You would never know how much life and blood the ancestors of the future generations had sacrificed to catch up to all of this.
Therefore, I won't let you off."
