Chapter 682: Huang Taiji's Life Countdown! (c)
PS: Monthly passes, subscriptions. When the number came up, Huang Taiji immediately hung up!
Qingning Palace is a five-bay front and rear porch hard mountain style building. It is the 'middle palace' where Huang Taiji and Empress Borzigit Zhezhe lived. The door of the room is opened in the east room, and the west side of the house forms a 'tube room' pattern, and the east corner is the emperor's bedroom. The style of the wide branch window is simple, and the lattices are intersected in the style of 'yard three arrows', and the palace door does not need to be divided. Facing the palace gate erects the 'Sauron rod' to worship the sky, the top of the hall is paved with yellow glazed tiles and trimmed edges, the front and back are square eaves pillars, the column head is decorated with animal faces, and the sandalwood fang is painted.
However, in the courtyard that was originally very neat and exquisite, there was a wooden frame supported by the scenery, and a sturdy and practical water was hung on the shelf.
"The queen master, the gentlemen are ready, can you show it to the master?" The housekeeper beside Zhezhe asked the master of the middle palace for instructions.
At the foot of the steps, several Lang Zhong, who wore white cloth robes and scarves, rolled up their braids high and wrapped them in soft hats, lined up in two rows to salute Zhezhe and Dai Shan and others.
Today, these people want to show Zhezhe, Dai Shan and others how to take out the projectile from Huang Taiji's leg and how to treat it after many days of painstaking research. Well, it's a debriefing of a surgical plan. However, without PPT, it is impossible to make slides, so in order to let the masters have an intuitive and clear impression, a pig was selected as a specimen for the presentation. For the sake of truthfulness, the Tai Hospital also specially invited the fire guns under the subordinates of King Sanshun to also use fire guns to shoot on the pork legs.
A little behind the Borzigit clan, her niece, also the daughter of the Borzigit family, Bumu Butai, stood behind her aunt with low eyebrows. Her status among Wong's fifteen wives was not very high. The highest status was her aunt, and after the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne and was honored as Later Jin Tiancong Khan. The aunt was named the Great Fortune of the Middle Palace; In the first year of Chongde, after Huang Taiji changed his title to emperor, his aunt was named the queen of Qingning Palace with Jin. Among Huang Taiji's fifteen wives, the most favored by Huang Taiji is also the daughter of the Borzigit family, Hai Lanzhu, who was named Concubine Guan Ju Gong and the sister of Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace. Huang Taiji has the best relationship with Concubine Chen. In the words of the feudal era, it can be regarded as a "favored harem". Therefore, there will be no deeds under Quang Ninh City, where Ma Ke will resist to the end and never surrender. Among his many wives and concubines, there is no one more noble than the queen of Qingning Palace, and no one is more favored than Concubine Chen of Guan Ju Palace, and this future Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang of the Qing Dynasty is only a concubine of Yongfu Palace at this time, occupying a middle-to-upper position, and never dares to inquire about national affairs, nor does she care much about it.
Today, however, the situation is different. It is about the future and fate of his husband (uncle, brother-in-law) and his father, so he has to come to listen even if he breaks the sky.
"It's about the emperor's dragon body, so you must not be careless." Zhezhe said a few words of comfort, and then asked Brother Li, Prince Daishan, if there was anything else to say. Seeing that Dai Shan had nothing to say, he signaled that Mr. Langzhong could start.
A copper pot was filled with hot water, and the charcoal fire under the copper pot burst out blue flames from time to time, making the hot water in the pot tumble constantly.
The two Lang Zhong sprayed spirits on the spot where the fire was hit. Disinfect the wound.
A few Lang Zhong took out cloth bags from the rattan boxes they carried with them and opened them. Inside are rows of knives, scissors, spoons of different sizes and shapes, carefully wrapped in clean cotton, and the essence of the spring sun shimmers, dazzling people's eyes.
"The queen master, Prince Li, the minions are about to start now." The court judge led by Langsheng asked Zhezhe for his will.
With the permission of the masters. A few Lang Zhong began to get started. Removing the projectile is actually a similar operation to removing the arrow, which requires a sharp knife to cut some of the flesh on both sides of the wound, and then insert a small spoon into the wound to find the projectile arrow in the muscle tissue. It can then be pulled out without causing serious trauma to the periphery.
However, in order for the spoon to penetrate the wound smoothly, in the process of removing the projectile, the small spoon with a slender metal handle needs to be searched deep into the muscles, which can be said to be painful, and will also cause the injured person to suffer secondary injuries and pain.
"Auntie, isn't this the same technique as pulling out an arrow?" Bumu Butai, who is known as Da Yu'er, whispered his views to his aunt Zhezhe.
Zhezhe also deeply agrees with Bumu Butai's opinion, and she is also a little worried, can such a means and her husband's body withstand it? Just like pulling out an arrowhead, taking out the projectile is to cause greater secondary trauma to the body, and may even cut the blood vessels inside, causing the injured person to bleed to death.
Zhezhe nodded, but his eyes were staring at the movements of a few langzhong without blinking, watching them move flexibly and delicately on the pig, cutting the wound, digging up the projectile, washing the wound, suturing the wound with thread, and then the large bottle of knife wound hemostatic medicine was sprinkled on the wound, applied cotton wool, and bandaged. The entire operation is complete.
"In any case, no matter how painful the operation is, it is much better than the projectile constantly tossing the emperor on the emperor's leg! But how do you stop the bleeding? The emperor's body can't afford to lose too much blood now! The first half of Zhezhe's sentence was said to his niece Bumu Butai, his uncle's son Daishan and everyone present, which can be regarded as an affirmation of this surgical plan. The second half of the sentence is aimed at Lang Zhong's questions from the Tai Hospital, and she is worried about Huang Taiji's body. The pig in front of me for the experiment, because of the pain, almost broke the rope and wooden frame that bound it just now, and the yard was filled with the smell of blood flowing from its wounds.
"Yes! After the minions returned, they searched for good medicine to stop the bleeding in many ways, making sure that the emperor's body was okay. ”
After receiving the will to perform the same operation on Huang Taiji three days later, the judge of the Tai Hospital expressed his position to the masters. And Zhezhe and Dai Shan praised each other, and then ordered people to send rewards, which were nothing more than cloth, money, and other things.
"Now even Zhezhe doesn't have the hand to reward him with grain and rice!"
When night fell, it was still in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Rui Wang's Mansion, and a table was much more sumptuous than noon, and the aroma of wine and meat exuded on the table of the Eight Immortals.
Duoduo, who had just returned from military training outside the city, sat at the second brother's place, while the twelfth brother Ying Prince Azig, who was responsible for handling the spring flood prevention affairs in various parts of the Hunhe River, was the eldest brother of the third brother. Sit at the top of the table. The one who ate at the same table with the three brothers was Li Peiting, who entered the city in the midst of Duoduo's entourage!
In previous years, relying on Li Peiting's open and secret help with some grain and rice, through the resale trade between the Jin merchants and the Ming army in Liaodong, although the price of grain may not be much cheaper. But the quality is indeed much stronger than buying purely from Jin merchants. In comparison, Li Peiting obtained grain directly from the producers, with the fewest intermediate links. Unlike the Jin merchants and the generals of the Ming army, they were completely collected from all over the country, and there were many circulation links, so it was strange that there were fewer impurities in the grain and rice!
This time, Li Peiting quietly sneaked into Shengjing, and naturally he couldn't bring more grain and rice in, so he could only take the form of ants moving, moored several grain ships on the dock at Lion's Mouth, and unloaded the grain and rice in the warehouse. Hundreds of stones and hundreds of stones were transported to Shengjing, and the rest was quietly handled by the two white flag garrisons.
This bit of food can only be eaten by the three brothers' henchmen. As for characters like Abatai, they can't even touch the edge of the bowl.
"If it weren't for Second Brother Li to stop him, this king would have dug pits in several key points of the Hunhe River and filled them with a few barrels of gunpowder, blasting the banks of the river, and flooding both banks of the Hunhe River. Make that person in the Great Palace even more angry! Like Dord, the brave Azig was unspeakable. In front of a pair of brothers, big things shouted.
"Big brother! Don't talk nonsense! You were sent to prevent the flooding of the Hunhe River in the spring. I blew up the Hunhe River, isn't it embarrassing for all the Eight Banners? Make yourself the opponent of the Eight Banners? ”
The heavy snow that helped the Liao thieves block Shi Lang and Wu Sangui's offensive last year now seems to be a double-edged sword for the Liao thieves. When spring came, the ice melted and the snow melted, and this heavy snow suddenly brought a huge amount of water to Liaodong. Spring floods have occurred in several rivers. The river overflows out of the loop, turning the grain fields into water. Several major rivers such as the Liao River, the Hunhe River, the Daling River, and the Taizi River have become evil dragons that wreak havoc on the land of Liaodong with their teeth and claws.
So, Azig and several other princes Belle each received a messenger and took grain and rice. He took a large group of coated Ahabs to supervise the work of the river section he had contracted in sections, digging ditches, reinforcing embankments, and dredging the river.
"Although the Twelve Princes have never blown up the Hunhe River, it has also made our starling brothers suffer a dark loss." Li Peiting smiled with a wine glass, making people feel that those immoral ideas had nothing to do with him.
This time, the four major rivers were used to prevent and control the spring flood, and the Qing State mobilized nearly 100,000 people, distributed over hundreds of miles of river sections. However, this kind of river work has always been extremely food-intensive. However, it just so happened that the thieves were not short of gold and silver, but what they lacked was daily necessities such as food and cloth. As a result, on the construction site of river control, tens of thousands of coated Ahabs can only nibble on sorghum rice dumplings and sauerkraut soup.
(Liaodong was short of salt for a long time.) This has not been improved in modern times. The poor don't say that they add salt to cooking, and even pickles can't meet their needs. You can only eat with the soup produced by pickling sauerkraut. Flatbread is pickles, which is a luxury. )
We can only wait until the spring flood of the river is cured, the spring wheat is sown, and then the harvest is carried out to replenish these minions. Looking at the constant occurrence of night blindness, blood in urine, and even exhaustion due to excessive physical exertion, officials at all levels comforted each other like this.
However, this phenomenon did not occur in the section of the river managed by Prince Ying.
"The master is sympathetic to our hard work, and he pays for everyone to add food and rice out of his own pocket." On the section of the river under the management of Azig, which belongs to the Zhenghong Banner, as well as on the section of the river under the two white flags, such shouts sounded from time to time, and the officials at all levels who temporarily served as foremen kept cheering for their subordinates.
The construction site of these three flags is to add vegetables and rice to the Baoyi Ahabs according to Li Peiting's idea, "If the twelve brothers can't afford the money and food consumed, they will be recorded in the account of the foolish brothers!" ”
"Second brother's move is really powerful!" Azig talked about the situation on the river, and his black face couldn't help but flutter.
"Those minions of ours not only work fast and do a good job, but they have paid their errands earlier than the other flags. If it weren't for the situation, I would be embarrassed to contain too many escapees, but I'm afraid that this time, we can have a few more minions to come back! ”
Azig took Lee's advice. Let its minions have a comparison with the remaining five banners. Sure enough, the sense of happiness is all comparable. Compared with the two yellow flags and the two blue flags, they can only nibble on cold sorghum rice dumplings and drink sauerkraut soup, eat hot multigrain rice, eat with pickles, and occasionally have salted fish stewed cabbage or kelp soup to drink. Some adjacent coatings. Unable to stand the fatigue and hunger, he fled to the two white flag construction sites and prayed for containment.
Dolgon also admired Li Peiting's methods, and used hundreds of stone grains and some worthless salted fish and other things, not only consolidating his basic plate, but also expanding his influence, and winning a good reputation among the other four banners, Rui Wangye, Ying Wangye, and Yu Wangye are all good masters, sympathetic to slaves, and generous below. He still didn't move and contained more than a thousand strong minions, and these people were considered to have violated the rules of heaven in the Eight Banners. If you want to continue to survive, you can only die for these three brothers.
However, there was something else that bothered Dolgon.
"Second brother, when you come, my heart will be stable. At the moment, although the starling is sick, he is doing great things one after another. It made me dizzy. ”
Huang Taiji's internal means against the Eight Banners are nothing more than negotiating peace and requesting trade. There is nothing new in the formation and training of the new army, which is mainly based on the Han army flag. However, such a traditional method made Dolgon, the new nobles who were trying to maintain the tradition of the Eight Banners have no way to deal with it, and can only be beaten passively.
"Peace? Looking for trade? After listening to Dolgon's story, Li Peiting spit a bone in his mouth into the food plate, and sneered on his face.
"I can't take care of military training, and I don't bother to take care of it. But. Think about it, you brothers, who has the most minions in this Qing Kingdom now? Is it the three flags of his Huang Taiji father and son, or the three flags controlled by the three of you plus the red flag and one flag of Shuotuo? Training, a good thing! Let's practice together and see who practices more! As long as he can't do any of these three things. Our starling, it's time to accompany Uncle Tong! ”
"What about peace and trade?" Dolgon already had a rough idea in his heart, but he was not in a hurry to say it, just stood up and filled Li Peiting with a glass of wine.
The letter of state or the book of peace written to the Ming court, Dolgon, and several scholars of the Inner Three Courtyards had also seen the draft, and it was written in a very flattering manner, and it was extremely capable of welcoming sycophants. The general content is to tell Chongzhen, although there are many misunderstandings between you and me, so that over the years, there have been casualties in the sword and soldiers. But, after all, you are the monarch of the Ming Dynasty, and I am a courtier in a remote place. You should be generous as a monarch. Don't talk about the previous things, let go of everything and look forward. In order to show the sincerity of the minister's discussion, the minister is willing to serve the emperor every year with 100,000 silver dollars, and a large number of special products are considered tributes. I believe that it is not difficult to convince the courtiers of this condition, even if the courtiers do not agree, this price is still negotiable. In addition, you can use such conditions to impress the ministers of the DPRK and China, if you feel that the thieves are not able to catch the lack of soldiers and horses, the ministers are willing to serve the soldiers and horses, provide their own food and salary, and follow the example of Qin Liangyu and Qin's general soldiers back then, so let the minister's brother Morgentai Ji Dolgon lead the troops to the Central Plains to help the officials and troops quell the thieves.
"Starling is really a good fight! Does he really think that the ministers of the DPRK and China are all pigs who remember to eat and not to beat? He used the means of peace negotiation that day to trap the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Kingdom, and now he wants to make a comeback and use it again, where is there such a cheap thing? What's more, you also said that such a method is just the fourteenth brother, it is clearly to cut off people's financial routes, and who will agree to the military ministers, nobles, and eunuchs in the context of the DPRK and China? ”
But Azig was a little breathless, "Second brother, if the starling really lets the second brother lead the troops into the Central Plains to fight with thieves from all over the country, what should we do?" ”
"Desperate?" Li Peiting sneered, "I'm afraid that this peace article will be a difficult problem whether or not you can successfully enter Shanhaiguan." If Starling is waiting for the good news of peace in Qingning Palace now, I don't mind giving him a slap in the face! ”
"Second brother, what do you mean?" Azig and Duoduo stood up suddenly, they were willing to see anything that could make Huang Taiji deflated! Especially now, Huang Taiji's condition is very serious. Because the action was too big, the cups, plates, and chopsticks on the table made a chaotic sound, and they fell to the ground and shattered.
"What if the peace mission was killed by the Ming army before it reached Shanhaiguan?" The look on Li Peiting's face was very amusing to others. The three brothers glanced at each other and nodded slowly. Wow! At present, the two sides of the Ming and Qing dynasties are facing each other, and their nerves are so sensitive after the war, and suddenly someone claims that it is a peace mission, and there is a Ming army general who will believe it? What's more, a large part of the peace clauses seriously harmed the interests of the Guanning Military Group!
After that, rumors flew all over the place. Wu Sangui, the general guarding the pass, reported the victory of the imperial court, claiming that the Qing army came to the city in the name of seeking peace and the mission, and was completely annihilated by him in one fell swoop! How much credit is given to that? ”
"After that, our Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan double commanders are even more frequent counterattacks, and the Ningyuan Naval Division under his control and the Denglai Naval Division across the sea have joined forces, Wu Sangui and his eldest uncle continue to sneak attack various states and counties in southern Liaoning, and now it is spring, and there will be no more heavy snowfall, right? The two white flags stationed at various places in the lion's mouth were cut off by Wu Sangui and Shandong soldiers and horses, and it was difficult to break through the rescue for a while. How about such a means? ”
"Second brother, it's not that my two white flags stationed in southern Liaoning refuse to rescue, it's just that the surrounding captured Ming officers and soldiers are constantly rioting, one after another. Our army is also exhausted and suppresses everywhere. "It's like discussing a playbook, Dolgon and Li Peiting look idle, you say everything I say is very lively.
As for the thing he wants to do business, don't mention it in front of Xiao Er Chongzhen. That guy has to rely on my father-in-law's supply for food and clothing! What virtue did he have, how could he dare to agree to this? It was he who agreed, and I think there is any merchant who dares to start a large trade with Liaodong before my lord agrees? Aren't you afraid that the fleet will sink in the wind and waves at sea, and the caravan will encounter robbers on the way?! ”
"As for his desire to send someone to Nanzhong to negotiate trade matters, he didn't even have a bowl of closed-door soup to eat! I have already reported the matter of the Sancha River Estuary to my lord, and I must let our starling apologize and pay compensation in the capacity of the Qing Emperor and hand over the murderer to the Nanyue Army for trial! Otherwise, not to mention trade, even the purchase of local products in Liaodong will have to be stopped! Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners plus Han Army Flags, all drink the northwest wind! ”
Li Peiting's words, Dolgon did not doubt it at all. Nowadays, trade with Liaodong is frequent, and the number of trade ranks in the top three, according to the number of trade, it is the Jin Shang Group and the Ming Army of Liaodong, and Long Shengxing can only rank third. However, everyone knows that the first two are just a disguise, and their materials are all from Longsheng.
Therefore, Li Peiting said ruthlessly that letting Baqi drink the northwest wind is not a big braggart.
"But, you brothers, rest assured, the trade between me and the two white flags and the positive red flags is going on as usual. As long as it's your brother's note, you will do it! ”
No food, no troops. With this, a stone fell to the ground in Dorgon's heart.
"Second brother, this piece of meat is fat, please!" He put a piece of meat into Li Peiting's bowl and looked at Li Peiting with a smile. (To be continued......)
