The 27th Niu Lu Pai Kutuha, the fifth Jiala of the Yellow Banner Manchuria, was a good drinker. If you don't fight or act, you'll be drunk almost all day long, but the amount of alcohol is average. In modern terms, this man is a drunken putty. It is because of this hobby that he has repeatedly entered the customs and plundered, and the spoils he got have been replaced by things in the cup, making the family a family with four walls, except for armor, swords, guns and horses, there are no good things left.
On this day, Tuha drank Nanzhong's soju at home alone, and after three glasses of wine, he suddenly had a feeling of fluttering immortals. If you want to talk about the current days, it is bitter and bitter, and it is sweet and sweet, and the bitter thing is that this rice and flour meat is particularly expensive, and if you want to say that it is sweet, it is enough for this Nanzhong soju and refined salt, white sugar, soy sauce and vinegar.
What should I do if I don't have meat and vegetables to drink? This also can't help but Tuha. He carried a small deerskin bag with him, full of clean, unusually smooth stones! Mix soy sauce with hot lard and sugar into a bowl, soak it in a stone, and when you want to drink, you take a stone out of it and put it in your mouth, and drink it with a taste similar to stewed meat.
Although some people say that it is hellish cuisine, Tuha himself thinks it is good. Just as Tuha was about to dip the stones in the soup and enjoy the pleasure of the alcohol, one of his house slaves rushed in from outside.
Tuha was very unhappy in his heart, so he scolded coldly: "The slave who doesn't open his eyes, he didn't see the master drinking, what's the matter, is there no money at home?" The clothed slave hurriedly saluted and said, "Master." It's not like that, something big is wrong. The servant looked at Tuha and was overwhelmed with anxiety, he had no choice but to cry and say, "Master, I really didn't come to borrow money." But now I hear that I will never be able to buy refined salt and sugar again. These words really had an effect, but I saw Tuha slap the table and say: "Fart, the refined salt and white sugar I eat now was bought a few days ago, and the price is still the old price, why can't I buy it after a few days?" ”
Seeing that Tuha finally ignored him, the clothed slave didn't care how he scolded, just reported: "Master, if the slave lies to you." Let me go out and meet Shi Lang and Wu Sangui, and I was immediately run over by a gun truck and killed. This poisonous oath began to spread among the Eight Banners after the Great War of Liaoxi. Because Shi Lang and Wu Sangui turned the Liaodong Peninsula all the way to Liaoyang into a sea of blood and fire, transplanted the Liao thieves' actions in the pass to Liaodong, not to mention, they used the Liao thief captives to fill the pits for the gun trucks. After the Great War, the Liaodong Peninsula was covered with corpses almost all along the way. Maybe it's a kind of violent worship, I don't know who it started, and whenever there is a threshold when you need to swear a curse. The thieves patted their chests and said, "What if I did." Let me bump into Shi Lang and Wu Sangui when I go out, and I was run over to death by a gun truck! Hearing the minion swear such a heavy oath, Tuha also had to believe it, and he hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Seeing that Tuha was finally willing to listen carefully, the servant hurriedly told the story. It turned out that just yesterday, someone suddenly told him. Because Sanchakou and Nanbanzi saw blood, people were angry, and large and small shops had to prepare to evacuate, so they could no longer buy snow-like refined salt and sugar in the future. He didn't take it seriously at first, but after a few familiar shops wandered around. It seemed to be true. Several familiar shops were either closed or announced that they were out of stock, and he turned around for most of the day, but he didn't even buy a grain of salt or sugar. I went to the brother I was familiar with and asked, but I also said in unison. What's worse is that some people have already started to eat coarse salt, and even make a big business with refined salt stocks. It's more shameless, he actually sells a pound of refined salt for a silver dollar, and says that if he doesn't buy it now, it may be two silver dollars tomorrow. As for the price of soju, it has risen a few times! This slave had a good relationship with Tuha, and knew that his master was good about this, so he hurriedly ran to report it.
After listening to the minion's words, Tuha suddenly became anxious. If you want to starve him for three days, he may still feel that he can bear it, but if he is not allowed to drink, it is that the uncle can bear it and the aunt can't bear it. So Tuha immediately grabbed his sword and led his minions straight to one of the shops that he was most familiar with.
As soon as he walked through the intersections of a few shopping streets, Tuha felt that the atmosphere was very different from what it used to be. On the originally lively street, in the past, it was all men who greeted customers, shouted and sold, and greeted customers. The door business is booming. But today, most of the shops have closed, and occasionally a few are still open, and they also belong to the coffin sellers, and the guys sit at the gate weakly, with the virtue of whether you like to buy or not.
After running to the store in a few steps, I found that the boss was packing up his things, sorting out the few goods on the shelves, taking inventory, and it seemed that he was also preparing to close. Tuha hurriedly stopped and said, "Boss, where are you going?" The boss smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this the military master Tuha?" Disrespectful. I'm going back to the south. ”
"Boss, are you kidding? This Shengjing's business is a daily profit, don't deceive me I don't know, the price of your sale is ten times higher than that of Guannai. If you don't do such a good deal, won't you lose a lot. The boss smiled and said: "Please forgive me, it's not that I don't want to make money, but in the past few days, news has come from the south, saying that this year's salt field has suffered a flood disaster, and the sugarcane forest has also been blown down by the strong wind, and Nanzhong's own use is still insufficient, so there is no surplus goods for Shengjing." So, in order to reduce the cost, I plan to go back to Nanzhong for the time being, and when I have the goods, I will definitely come back. After saying that, he nodded to Tuha and went to clean up again.
If that's all there is, maybe Tuha will go home sullen by himself, and then drink all the wine in one go, and then go crazy with alcohol. But just when Tuha was angry and didn't know who to send it to, he could only order the slave to carry the sword and walk in the alley with the two bottles of soju given to Tuha by the boss, a man who had been observing the two of them at the corner of the street for a long time suddenly came to them, and then said in a low voice: "Brother, I have refined salt and white sugar shochu, all of which are orthodox Nanzhong goods, or not?" There are also canned food, ham and bacon for sale. ”
Tuha couldn't help but be stunned. Then look at the comer with suspicion. The man was wearing a shabby cotton armor with oil-stained twist and a robe on the outside. Seeing the expressions of the two of them, the man did not hesitate to take out a pot of wine, a packet of salt and a packet of sugar from his arms, and then said with a smile, "Brother." Look at it, I don't need to say much about this wine, I see that this military master is a master, I believe you will know if you have mixed water in the wine by smelling it. Look at the salt and sugar, white as snow, the particles are crystal clear, even if you have the magic of the gods, it can't be imitated. ”
As he spoke, the man took out a few things from the placket of his robe and said, "There is also a porcelain urn of wind chicken, bacon and meat." They are all authentic Nanzhong goods, looking at the two of them who are also nobles, how can they stand the coarse salt and bitter wine, don't you have a little? The price is only three times the day before, and there is no bullying for children. In addition, if you are a brother of any flag, if you have two white flags, the price will be doubled. ”
After hearing this, Tuha wanted to beat this man, you have 10,000 alpacas! It's too dark. Triple as soon as it changes hands, why don't you grab it? That's right. Wait, it seems that there is a strange thing, why can people with two white flags be so cheap?
"My master is a big man! Who doesn't know these shops on the left!? Just the little thing you have on hand is not enough for my master to drink for two days! Seeing Tuha's uncertain expression, his house slave immediately jumped out and took the conversation, "Look." This is the shopkeeper's gift to a big customer like our master! The slave held up his soju and a few cans and flaunted them to the scalper.
"It turns out that there are too few adults! Easy to do! The scalper's face was so calm that he didn't even blink an eye, and he took the two of them a few steps into the alley, and with a few strokes from a garbage heap, he took out a wicker basket. Lifted the tarpaulin that covered the mouth of the basket. It's full of all kinds of Nanchu goods he said!
In the face of huge price differences, Tuha will not be so principled and tell his true identity. (Isn't that a disagreement with the silver dollars in your pocket?!) It just so happened that Tuha was familiar with the people of the two white flags, so he falsely claimed to be the person of the two white flags, and then asked the man if he knew some of the officers of the two white flags. When he heard Tuha say the names of several officers with two white flags, this man hurriedly laughed and said, "Oh, it turned out to be a brother with two white flags, brother, I was wrong." Since the military master knows those masters, today I don't know Taishan. That's good, these things in my hand will be given to the two masters, and the two masters only need to stay in the house, and if they need it in the future, the villain will send the things to the house by himself. In addition, the price is easy to say, the military master just gives an errand fee. ”
After exchanging the silver dollars at home and on his body for wine, meat, salt and sugar, Tuha scolded the street all the way, and ordered the slave to return home with the wicker basket delivered with the goods.
This matter, after layers of reports, finally reached the ears of a person, and this person is Sony.
Sony, when you think about him, you will think of the old man who played soy sauce among the auxiliary ministers, and he has a good son who is a generation of powerful ministers, and Lord Wei's brother Suo Etu. However, Sony was able to stand out from many cattle in the early Qing Dynasty and become the auxiliary minister designated by Fu on his deathbed to his son, and his qualifications, loyalty, and ability to do things will definitely reassure Huang Taiji and his family!
At first, Huang Taiji personally recruited Khalkha and conscripted troops in Wai Rang Mongolia, and the people of Horqin did not participate. Huang Taiji ordered Sonny and the guard Ah Zhuhu to send an edict to rebuke Tu Xie Tu and Oba Oba. Oba was originally a Mongolian Taiji, but after his surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Nurhachi married him the daughter of Belshulhaqi. After that, Oba repeatedly reneged on his promises and secretly kept in touch with the Ming Dynasty, and he did not come to see him when he was conscripted.
Sonny was advised to go, and when he entered the country, Oba's men gave him a lot of livestock, but Sonny refused to accept it, saying, "Your Great Khan has a different heart, can you still eat your food?" At that time, Oba was sick with her feet, and Sonny and Aju-hu met with the princess and told her the decree. When Oba heard about it, he was helped to see Sonny and pretended to ask, "Why did you refuse to accept the gift?" Sonny said, "I am here for the Great Khan of the Kingdom of Jin!" If you are guilty, I will have to refuse. Today, for the sake of the princess, I have sent an envoy to ask you. Oba looked left and right speechless, and Sonny went out without looking. Oba was so frightened that he bowed his head and repented, wanting to go to court to apologize. Sonny, Aju-ho and Oba's ministers reported to Hwang Tae-gil first, and Hwang Tae-gil was very happy.
In the third year of Tiancong (1629), Sony followed Huang Taiji to lead a large army into the interior, approaching the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi, and the Ming Dynasty Governor Yuan Chonghuan came to help and camped in the southeast of the city. Bellehaug burst into battle, and the Ming army rushed in a big way. Arrows rained down. Sonny jumped into the battle formation, killed a lot of Ming troops, and rescued the emperor's eldest son, Haoge, from the encirclement.
In the fourth year of Tiancong (1630), the Qing army surrendered Hazelnut Town and Shaheyi without a fight, and broke through Yongping, an important town in Jingdong, and Sony led the army to garrison. The fifth year of Tiancong (1631). Sonny was promoted to Keishinro of the Ministry of Justice. Follow Huang Taiji to besiege the Daling River. The Ming army came to the rescue from Jinzhou, and Sonny defeated them.
Judging from these things, whether it is diplomacy, domestic affairs, or military, Sony can be regarded as an all-rounder.
Although Sony's image in history is not very positive due to various reasons, there is one thing that is indisputable, that is, if you deduct factional disputes, this person is definitely a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty.
Therefore. When he heard that there was such a thing under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, he immediately became angry and ordered to immediately rectify the market in the area under his jurisdiction, and speculation and reselling were strictly prohibited. Of course, he also knew that this kind of thing could not be solved by himself, so he immediately entered the palace to ask to see Huang Taiji.
At this time, Huang Taiji had just returned from walking around the Ghost Gate. Although the projectile given to him by Ecuador on his right leg was successfully removed, he lost a lot of blood. I almost broke an artery in my thigh during surgery! If this artery is broken. I'm afraid that Huang Taiji won't have to be so annoyed today.
Fortunately, the judge of Tai Hospital is an excellent surgeon and quite experienced. The reckless actions of Na Lang Zhong were stopped in time. Rao is so. The overbleeding that Dolgon had hoped for had happened, but there was no doubt that it had happened. However, is it a blessing for Seon to lose his horse? For a patient with high blood pressure and high blood lipids, blood loss is not necessarily a bad thing. It can make his cardiovascular and cerebrovascular pressure less great. The mind becomes clearer.
However, despite this, Hwang Tae-gil's body is indeed weak, and Empress Zhezhe adheres to the plea of the Tai Hospital. Ordered the palace gate to be closed, and no one was allowed to enter the palace for an audience unless it was an urgent military matter. The flag owners of each banner, the prince, and the ministers of each ministry all performed outside the palace gate. Strive to let Huang Taiji have a quiet environment to recuperate.
Therefore, the guards at the palace gate led the Kabush soldiers to prevent this official Qixinlang from seeing Huang Taiji at first. But Sony is something they can stop. In the end, Huang Taiji still met with Sony, his face was pale, and his lips were pale because of excessive blood loss, Huang Taiji, leaning on the quilt, speaking in a weak voice but in good spirits. He asked Sony what important things about the military state did not ask to meet.
Sony hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, something is wrong." The minions recently heard a report from their minions Tuha, the southern barbarians claimed that the salt farms in the south had been damaged, the sugarcane forests had been destroyed by the typhoon, and now the major trading houses in Shengjing were packing up and preparing to leave. For a while, prices in Shengjing soared, and people's livelihood was poor. This is not to mention, and I don't know whether some people are the minions of the two white flags under the name of the two white flags, taking advantage of the opportunity of soaring prices, hoarding, buying and selling, and even worse, saying that the people with the two white flags do not increase the price of things, and the other flags are all doubled. This kind of thing will affect the foundation of the imperial court, and I hope the emperor will deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise there will be a big disaster. At present, people's hearts are already floating and there are many discussions. There is already a folk proverb in Shengjing City that spreads among the flags: 'After more than ten years of hard work, return to the year of the Mandate of Heaven overnight!' ’”
However, although the situation is serious, Sony does not dare to tell Huang Taiji all the facts. For example, according to what he and his subordinates and family members knew, the goods stored by each firm in Shengjing could meet the consumption of Eight Banners for at least two to three months. However, since the wave of evacuations has blown, there have been no large shipments of goods on the roads out of the city, and where have these goods gone? Could it be that they were really eaten by the two white flags?
After Sony finished speaking, he looked up and was about to wait for Huang Taiji's reply, but before the reply came, Huang Taiji's nosebleed came out first. The guards and maids on both sides hurriedly stepped forward to serve and treat, hurriedly using wooden plates to catch blood, and soaked towels in cold water to make ice compresses for Huang Taiji. It took a long time for Huang Taiji to stop the nosebleed. Although his voice was weak, he could hear the anger that could kill, but he laughed angrily: "Hehe! Hey! It's the other way around, it's all the other way around! Okay, well, I want to see, the Sauron's firearms can't kill me, do you have a sword or gun to kill me! Sonny, I order you to pass on my behalf, immediately order your troops, and join me in killing the rebel Dorgon. ”
Rao is Sony has seen all the swords and fires over the years, but in the face of such an angry Huang Taiji, Sony is still frightened. Kill Dolgon, Your Majesty, you're not confused, are you? So although Sonny was stunned for a moment, he immediately stopped: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry!" ”
"Why, you want to betray me too!"
Sonny hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the slave is loyal, but he can be loyal to the sun and the moon." It's just that now there are only rumors to prove, and there is no solid evidence, how can you casually accuse Prince Rui. Besides, even if Prince Rui is killed, the price of this Shengjing will not fall by a point. In my opinion, the emperor should first hold back this breath, send people to investigate and secretly visit, and then take down these traitors in one fell swoop, so that the people are correct, the goods are confiscated, and then these goods are used to stabilize prices, which is the top priority. Sonny's words were also unspoken for half of the time, "Your Majesty, with the current relationship and strength between the two yellow flags and the two red flags, do you think that with the two yellow flags and the blue flag soldiers and horses mastered by Prince Su, can you do Dorgon?" If a war breaks out in Shengjing City, the cavalry of the two yellow flags and the blue flag cannot be deployed on the street, and they will meet each other in short quarters and rush to kill in formation, but I am afraid that they will be the targets of the two white flags and firecrackers! ”
After listening to Sony's words, Huang Taiji's face calmed down a bit, yes, even if Dolgon is slaughtered now, it won't solve the current problem. Moreover, even if prices are stabilized now and the three goals of negotiation and trade training are not realized, everything will be in vain. The key is the question of how to negotiate peace. However, Huang Taiji himself also knew in his heart that it was a matter of common anger among people and gods, not to mention anything else, and it was unknown whether his envoy could enter the customs peacefully.
And Chongzhen's difficulties, he also knew in his heart, but Huang Taiji still couldn't help but want to warn Chongzhen, brother, it is difficult for both of us, but if we can't negotiate peace, then the situation of the two of us is not so simple. Maybe it was because after the blood loss, his mind was really much clearer than before, and suddenly, an idea burst into Huang Taiji's mind that almost startled him! "Since I can't surrender to the imperial court, then I simply surrender to the Nanyue Army and Li Shouhan! See how you get out of it! That Li Shouhan is said to have destroyed countless countries overseas, and there are many vassals under his banner, as long as he is willing to accept my surrender, I can ask for it! All conditions can be referred to the Ryukyus, Japan and other countries! (To be continued......)
