Chapter 689: Expulsion of the Tartars (1)
Nanking.
Qian Qianyi sat in the lobby of his house, his body shaking into a sieve.
He looked at his housekeeper Qian Fu in front of him, and asked with a miserable face:
"Did the Han army really put up a notice in the city saying that they wanted to arrest the traitors?"
His housekeeper Qian Fu was also frightened at the moment, and his head drooped and he lost the momentum of the great Confucian housekeeper in the past.
"Master, it's true, the king of Han said that anyone who took the initiative to surrender to the Tatars or served as an official in the Tatar court was all traitors, and they said that they would also include all these people and compile a list of traitors for future generations to wake up."
The pale color on Qian Qianyi's face became even whiter, and with the money rat tail on his head, he looked like a child with a general horn who had done something wrong.
The braid on his head shook twice, and he came to his senses at this moment.
"Quick, go and get the scissors, the old man is going to cut this braid now."
Qian Fu answered quickly and wanted to get it, but who expected a shout to come from outside the door.
"Master Qian is only willing to cut his braids now, it's too late!"
Before the voice landed, a young officer dressed in the uniform of a Han army general rushed in with more than two dozen soldiers rushing out of the door.
Qian Qianyi's eyes shrank when he saw the military uniform, and he immediately stood up and pretended to be calm and shouted:
"Who are you? Dare to trespass into private houses, the king of Han has already decreed that the Han army must not harass the people of Nanjing, you are breaking the law, the old man has an old relationship with the king of Han, and he will go to the king of Han to sue you. ”
The officer who led the team was Tian Cheng, because of his exploits in shooting Duoduo, he was directly promoted from a public sergeant to a sergeant major, and now he is a tun commander.
Seeing that Qian Qianyi was very guilty, Tian Cheng smiled slightly and said indifferently:
"You don't have to be the king of Han to pressure me, my Han is not a slave regime like the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the royal officials have no power over life and death over their subordinates, besides, today I am on the orders of the king of Han, please Mr. Qian come with us."
Qian Qianyi didn't expect the person in front of him to be so arrogant, and immediately said angrily:
"Bastard thing, it's just no distinction between dignity and inferiority, who is your name, what is your position, the old man must sue you."
Tian Cheng turned his head to look at the newly brought soldier he had brought with him, and smiled at everyone:
"Yo, you see, this old man is still holding it."
After speaking, Tian Cheng took a few steps forward with a look of disdain and approached Qian Qianyi and said fiercely:
"Fuck your mother's humility, the world is ruined by you rotten Confucians, everyone in my Han is equal, I want your mother's bullshit to be humble, you remember, grandpa, I don't change my name, I don't change my surname, 115 Shitun Changtian Cheng is also."
"That's right", Tian Cheng glanced at Qian Fu who was playing on the side casually after speaking, "The Tartar prince Duoduo who you wanted to worship like a master in the past was killed by Lao Tzu." ”
Tian Cheng stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, looking unsatisfied.
"It's funny that the dog's head was blown open when he died, and he didn't even cry."
"You ......"
Qian Qianyi was so frightened by Tian Cheng's creepy description that he stepped back, and sat directly on the ground with his feet weak, so shocked that he screamed in pain.
"Hahaha, sure enough, they are all soft-footed literati", Tian Cheng and his twenty-odd subordinates laughed when they saw this.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, King Han is still waiting for you, let's go."
After Tian Cheng finished speaking, he didn't give Qian Qianyi a chance to speak, handed his men a look, and the two soldiers immediately stepped forward to put Qian Qianyi up and walked out.
"Master, master", Qian Fu watched in horror as these big-headed soldiers dragged Qian Qianyi away, but he only dared to shout anxiously in the back.
The strength of the Han army has been confirmed by the battle of the imperial city, and now who dares to provoke the tiger's beard.
Tian Cheng and his entourage took Qian Qianyi and strode onto the street, seeing that the direction turned out to be towards Xuanwu Lake.
On the edge of Xuanwu Lake, the Han army directly set up a big platform outside the Taiping Gate, and tens of thousands of people in Nanjing City came here to watch.
On the platform hung a large banner that read "Traitor Criticism Conference".
Qian Qianyi was put here by Tian Cheng and others, and when he saw the words on the banner on the stage, he immediately trembled and burst into tears.
"The old man is not a traitor, the old man is not a traitor, let go of me, let go of me."
"Hey, isn't this Qian Qianyi, he was also arrested?"
"Hehe, Nanjing City is opened by him, what is he not a traitor?"
In the crowd, tens of thousands of people kept pointing at Qian Qianyi, so ashamed that he was so ashamed that he couldn't wait to cut it off directly.
Tian Cheng and the others were not soft, and directly put him on the stage.
In addition to Qian Qianyi, from time to time, there were also sergeants who escorted others to the stage, such as Zhu Guobi, the former Ming Baoguo Gong, Zhao Zhilong, Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, Xuzhou Jue, the Duke of Wei, Qi Zanyuan, Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo, Anyuan Marquis Liu Zuochang, University Scholar Wang Duo and others.
As soon as they saw these people, the people of Nanjing under the stage all scolded angrily.
"Kill the traitor, kill the traitor!"
On the platform, Xu Xujue, Qian Qianyi and others trembled like chickens.
"Knock"
Suddenly, a gong and drum sounded, and hundreds of Han troops escorted the Han king Liu Xi to beat horses from the Nanjing Imperial Palace.
"The King of Han Arrives"
The Han army was as powerful as a prison, and the tens of thousands of onlookers were still noisy, but as soon as the honor guard of the Han king appeared, they all quieted down all of a sudden.
Immediately after, these tens of thousands of people naturally knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live the King of Han."
Liu Ximing saw this scene on a horse, and immediately pulled the reins to stop the horse and directly threw his hand at the surrounding people on the horse.
"Fathers and fellow villagers in Nanjing, please hurry up."
The guard battalion led by Li Biao immediately stepped forward and shouted:
"Fathers and fellow villagers, the King of Han has a decree, please calm down quickly."
Only then did the tens of thousands of onlookers dare to stand up, but their eyes looking at Liu Ximing are still full of caution.
Liu Ximing sighed in his heart, and strode onto the platform under the escort of his personal guards.
"King Han, King Han, I'm Qian Qianyi, King Han, we're old acquaintances."
As soon as they saw Liu Ximing in person, Qian Qianyi and the others immediately shouted.
Ignoring the group of people on the platform, Liu Ximing walked to the front of the platform and stood still with a wave of his sleeves.
A large tin horn was erected in front of him.
Li Biao and the others behind him glared at Qian Qianyi and the others, so frightened that they didn't dare to speak again.
Glancing at the tens of thousands of onlookers, Liu Ximing silently took off his crown.
Unlike when he entered the city two days ago, at this time, Liu Ximing had completely built his hair into the biased hairstyle of later generations.
The novel hair ornament combined with Liu Ximing's handsome face brought a great impact to the people of Nanjing.
Now many men can't help but touch their bare heads, thinking in their hearts that it seems good to have a hairstyle like Han Wang when they turn around.
Liu Ximing spoke loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Liu Ximing, the king of Han, and I feel very uneasy when everyone kneels down to me."
There was a commotion in the crowd, Liu Ximing's official words were correct and round, and the people of Nanjing sounded unhindered.
But the meaning of this sentence is somewhat confusing.
I only heard Liu Ximing continue:
"There is an essential difference between my Han and the barbarians like the Ming and Manchu Qings, their emperors and kings want to enslave the people of the whole world and oppress the people of the world, so they try their best to make you kneel."
"But my Han is different, we are based on the people of the world, the purpose is to make the people of the world live a happier life, so that my Chinese civilization is more prosperous, so I have already issued an order to the whole country when I became the king."
"All the subjects of the Han Dynasty, except for very few occasions such as great ceremonies and court meetings, do not need to kneel at other times, the purpose is to let everyone understand that my Han people are the most noble people in the world, and no one is worthy of you to bow your head except for the parents of heaven and earth."
"Wow"
Liu Ximing's words were like a bomb, which immediately caused an uproar in the crowd.
The audience immediately spoke to the scholars of Nanjing: "The reason why the people of the world kneel down to worship the king of the county is to show their submission to the king, and the king is not afraid that the people of the world will not obey the king if he does this?" ”
Liu Ximing laughed and pointed at this man:
"You said that kneeling to the king is a sign of submission, then let me ask you, Emperor Chongzhen, haven't you knelt, since you have knelt, then why do you kneel again when Li Zicheng and Manchu Qing come?"
"This shows that prostrations are useless, and that he has no purpose other than to make the king appear superior."
"Besides, the king of my Han Dynasty doesn't need your submission at all!"
"Wow"
The people of Nanjing in the audience were even more in an uproar.
