Chen Zilong's angry shout was very loud, and the Manchurian soldiers turned their heads in unison and looked at him.

info They basically couldn't understand Chinese, and many people just showed a look of surprise on their faces, as if they wanted to know how this Han man dressed as a merchant of the Ming Kingdom could be so bold and dare to shout at them on this dead and murderous street.
It was a person who looked like a Han person, and after listening to Chen Zilong's words, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly whispered to the young general who was riding on a tall horse, wearing a jade-colored Dongzhu red tasseled hat, wearing a dark blue python robe made of thin silk, and his face was quite arrogant.
This young general is Beizi Nikan.
This person is the third son of Chu Ying, the eldest son of the old slave, arrogant by nature, quite Xiao his father, because of his merits, he was named Beizi in the early years of Chongde.
In the official history, this person in the first year of Shunzhi with military exploits into the title of Baylor, Shunzhi five years into the title of the king of Jingjin County, only one year later, and was named the prince of Jingjing, and then there were two ups and downs, in Shunzhi ten years, was killed by the Southern Ming general Li Dingguo, the Qing court took pity on his loyalty, and gave the name of Zhuang.
Listening to the words of the Han people, Nanikan's originally arrogant and proud face suddenly swelled with anger.
He let out a low shout, slammed the horse's belly, and the mount neighed, and galloped to Chen Zilong.
"What kind of pig and dog are you, and you dare to contradict this prince, I will kill you today!"
Nikan reined in the horse's hooves, shouted angrily, and whipped at the top of Chen Zilong's head.
"Master Pei, don't be reckless, these are the envoys of the Ming Kingdom, but they have important matters to discuss with the emperor!"
Seeing that Nikan was about to whip down, the strong man of the Qing army who was leading Chen Zilong and others on the side hurriedly shouted to Nikan.
Nikan's horsewhip suddenly stopped in mid-air.
"Darren, what are you talking about? Are they envoys of the Ming Kingdom? ”
Nikan looked incredulous, and he glanced at Darren, his eyes full of doubt.
Darren hurriedly relayed what Zhou Yuanzhong had just said to him to Nikan, Nikan looked suspicious, he jumped off the horse and walked straight towards Zhou Yuanzhong, who was rolling his eyes.
The Han man on the side followed closely.
Nikan said a few words to the Han people, and the Han people shouted loudly; "You blind man, my master Bei Zi said, you quickly take out the voucher and look at it, otherwise, you will cut off all of your heads immediately!"
Listening to the words of the Han people, Zhou Yuanzhong sneered, and took out the letter he had just shown to Darren from his arms.
Nikan didn't wait for the Han people to take over, so he reached out and grabbed it, and when he looked at the envelope, his face was suddenly full of surprise.
He knew very limited Chinese characters, and only recognized the words at the end of the envelope, "The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty personally opened it"
A few big words, and there was a feeling of fear in my heart.
According to Nikan's original idea, he wanted to open the letter in public and watch it, and then accuse it of being a forgery, and then tear it up, and then these Han people who contradicted his face in public were all killed on the spot, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.
It's just that when Nikan saw these words and the official seal next to him, he hesitated.
In case, these Han people, who seem to be unsightly, are really the envoys of the Ming Kingdom, and they tear up the letter and kill the envoys privately, if Huang Taiji knows, how can he spare himself.
The Han people on the side hurriedly came over and whispered to Nikan: "Master Pei, don't act impulsively, if you really kill the envoys of the Ming Kingdom in this Shengjing City, I'm afraid that Lord Pei will only be able to eat and walk around." ”
Nikan gritted his teeth fiercely, and glanced at Chen Zilong, who was still unyielding with an upright face, with a knife-like gaze, and said hatefully; "Hmph, for the sake of you being the envoys of the Ming Kingdom, and spare you Han dogs. However, remember that next time you dare to contradict this prince, this prince will never stop, and there will be no forgiveness! ”
After Nikan finished speaking, he snorted again, threw the letter to the ground, and then led a group of Manchurian soldiers, escorted the captured women, and drove away.
The women wept incessantly and refused to leave, but they were forcibly escorted away by a group of wolf-like soldiers.
There were even a few subordinate guys, while smug a strange smile, and at the same time took the opportunity to rub the shame of these already disheveled women, making these women dodge left and right, and the cry became more and more poignant.
And their relatives still knelt on the ground and cried and grabbed the ground, until Nikan and the others were gone, and then they dared to tremble and get up.
Chen Zilong and the other guards, seeing such a miserable scene in front of them, their eyes were red, and there were tears in their eyes, although everyone had put away their weapons, they were all clenched into fists, their nails were pinched through their palms, and they were bleeding without knowing it.
The Qing cavalry Darren, seeing that a Ming man had picked up a letter from the ground and stuffed it back to Zhou Yuanzhong, knocked the horse's belly again and led them to continue on the road.
Zhou Yuanzhong, who had already learned what had happened from his own guard, smiled softly and whispered in Chen Zilong's ear and said: "Master Chen, you scholars say that you know the subtleties, and now you have seen with your own eyes how the Han people in Liaodong have been oppressed by the Manchus in the past few decades!" These dog-in-the-top Tartars forcibly changed the clothes and hair ornaments of my Han family, forced the descendants of Yan and Huang to cultivate and enslave for them, and drove the children of my Han family to be like cows, horses, pigs and dogs! It's a pity that the Han people live so hard under their swords, although they tremble, but they have not escaped the fate of being killed and plundered at will, isn't it painful! ”
Chen Zilong gritted his teeth loudly: "The students have heard of the brutality and abnormality of the Tartars for a long time, but they have not seen it in person, and today they have to watch this miserable scene, only to know that they are all human-faced beasts, and they have no heart and liver!" Hmph, today's humiliation, the student has written it down, if it comes to the future, it will be recovered! ”
A hint of ruthlessness flashed on Chen Zilong's face, and then he urged the escort to drive to keep up with Darren's speed.
Chen Zilong, Zhou Yuanzhong and his entourage were led outside the Shenyang Palace by Darren, and Darren ordered them to wait outside the palace gate first, and they went in first to report.
Looking at the Shengjing Palace in front of him, Chen Zilong sighed inexplicably.
This Shengjing Imperial Palace, roughly the old Liaodong Governor Yamen, was slightly expanded by the old slave, became the palace of the Khan, Huang Taiji ascended the throne as the emperor, and the Khan Palace was greatly renovated and expanded, making it the Qing Dynasty Imperial Palace, that is, today's Shenyang Forbidden City is also.
Of course, compared with the Forbidden City of Beijing, the Shenyang Forbidden City is one heaven and one underground.
For example, from the door to see, let go in not far away, is the Emperor Taiji daily meeting ministers of the Chongzheng Palace, is the Emperor Taiji in recent years to rebuild the most expensive building, than the original Khan Palace main hall is much larger, the hall has begun to use yellow tile roof, yellow brick paving, than the Nuerhachi period, more than the imperial atmosphere.
It's just that the Manchurians build houses, not as good as the Han people pay attention to the symmetry of the central axis, sit south to north, this is the most magnificent Chongzheng Palace, and many ancillary buildings on both sides, lined up in a row, the size is uneven, the height is different, the visual effect and the scale of the building, are far inferior to the magnificent and majestic Forbidden City of Beijing.
After a short time, Darren led a man who looked like a Han official out.
This Han official is Fan Wencheng, a scholar of Bunkan University.
After Darren introduced Zhou Yuanzhong, Chen Zilong and others to Fan Wencheng, he took his leave.
After Fan Wencheng reported to his home, he exchanged a few words with Chen Zilong and others, and then asked Zhou Yuanzhong for the voucher, and Zhou Yuanzhong took out the Guan Fang Yin letter and Fang Yizao's handwritten letter from his personal place and handed it to Fan Wencheng.
Fan Wencheng glanced at the envelope slightly, frowned slightly, and quickly glanced at Zhou Yuanzhong, Chen Zilong and the others, and then entered the palace with the seal letter first, and let Zhou Yuanzhong and the others continue to wait outside.
Fan Wencheng took the letter and entered the Chongzheng Palace, at this time, Huang Taiji was talking about the harvest of Huerha and other tribes in the Heilongjiang River Basin in Northeast China some time ago, and they talked very happily and enthusiastically, and everyone saw Fan Wencheng come in, so they kept silent.
"Minister Fan Wencheng, knock on the emperor."
Fan Wencheng knelt down.
"Kento, what are you doing here?"
Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the dragon chair, asked softly.
"Your Majesty, an envoy from the Ming Kingdom came to say that there was something important to discuss with the emperor, and they were waiting outside the palace."
After Fan Wencheng finished speaking, he handed the handwritten letter of Fang Yizao to the eunuch on the side.
"Oh, kneel."
"Yes, Emperor Xie."
Huang Taiji took the letter from the eunuch's hand, glanced at the cover, then tore open the envelope, opened the letter and looked at it.
Huang Taiji knows a lot about Chinese, so he doesn't need the assistance of civil officials or pen stickers to read this letter, and after he read it quickly, a sneer appeared on his big fat face.
"These hypocritical and cowardly Han people have started to engage in this kind of hypocrisy again."
Huang Taiji said coldly; "From my point of view, in the Ming Kingdom, from the emperor to the ministers, there are some people who are afraid to take responsibility, and when they talk about peace with such people, they are afraid that when they talk about the desolate earth and the sea, they will not be able to settle down." "What the emperor said is very true, thinking that Yuan Chonghuan, the Liaodong governor of the Ming Kingdom, sent an envoy to negotiate peace with my Qing Dynasty, and we treated it with sincerity, hoping that it would make an agreement as soon as possible, but the Ming people finally made a false promise, and it was not done, and it cost me to wait for some painstaking ears." Dai Shan said with a look of disdain on his face. "Brother Huang, according to the opinion of the ministers, these envoys of the Ming Kingdom, if they don't see them, it's better to take them all down, put them in prison, and lock them up for a year or two, and then arrange them to become their coats, so as to save them a lot of nonsense." Dorgon snorted coldly and interjected from the side. However, Fan Wencheng looked embarrassed at this time, and he said: "Your Majesty, the Ming Kingdom sent an envoy here, if you don't see him, I will throw him into prison, I am afraid it is inappropriate." And my Qing Dynasty has been fighting for many years, and there is a shortage of food and materials, if the Ming Kingdom can really negotiate peace with my Qing Dynasty, reopen border trade, and then imitate the story of the Song Dynasty, let the Ming Dynasty pay tribute to my Qing Dynasty, such as the son and filial piety, and pay tribute to the money, grain, and silk cloth on time every year, then my Qing Dynasty, without the need to move troops, can sit and collect fishing profits, isn't it very good? Fan Wencheng's words made Huang Taiji nod invisibly. Hmph, Fan Wencheng, you said this lightly! If those enlightened people talk for months without any results, as they did back then, such talks will be very beneficial, but they will only waste energy and tongues. Dolgon retorted coldly. Fan Wencheng saw that Dolgon was sarcastic, and he was secretly angry in his heart, and he said in a deep voice: "Prince Yu, now that the envoy of the Ming Kingdom has just arrived, you have no sincerity in such a rash manner, it is too subjective. "Seeing that Fan Wencheng dared to contradict himself, Dolgon was furious, pointed his nose, and was about to scold, when he was stopped by the emperor Taiji on the dragon chair." The two of you have to quarrel, and I have my own decision. Huang Taiji shouted: "These envoys of the Ming Kingdom have come from afar, and if they don't see each other, they will be taken down and thrown into prison, which is really inappropriate." But if they want to be like last time, procrastinating and teasing me, they can't! "What does the emperor mean?" Fan Wencheng asked softly. "Hmph, my opinion, I'll test them first." When Huang Taiji said this, he shouted: "Where is the guard Sauron? As soon as he had finished speaking, a strong man with a stout figure, a fierce face, a thick beard, a tight-fitting arrow coat, and a red-tasseled hat, walked out of the darkness of the palace, strode to the front of the steps, and then knelt down. This person is Sauron, the chief of the guard of Huang Taiji. "The minion Sauron is here, waiting for the emperor's orders." "Sauron, I ordered you to take a group of guards to the outside of the palace, and pretend to take down these visiting envoys of the Ming Kingdom, saying that I have discovered that their letters are all forgeries, so I will take them and put them in prison. I want to see how these Han people will react under your scolding and coercion. After Huang Taiji finished speaking, Dai Shan and Dolgon on the side both laughed. The emperor's threatening move, these weak Han people, I am afraid that they will be so scared that the feces and urine will come out. "Dai Shan has already made up the appearance of the envoy of the Ming Kingdom crying and kneeling for mercy, and his heart is extremely happy at the moment, and his slender face is full of happy snickers." Haha, the courtiers also expected that such a weak and incompetent Han envoy would be deeply intimidated by the feet of my Qing Dynasty, and the emperor's move really gave them a solid dismount, which is wonderful! Dolgon's face was full of approval. Listening to Dai Shan and Dolgon's words, Huang Taiji also had a smug smile on his face: "Let's see how these Ming envoys react, if they really don't have the slightest courage, they will be soft when they are scared, then there is no need for me to see them." Sauron, you really take them down, turn them over, and hand them over to the head of the Criminal Department, Zilharang, so that he can handle the matter with full authority. "Yes, the slave obeys." Sauron replied loudly, then got up and strode out of the palace. The two of them laughed loudly, and only Fan Wencheng, a scholar of the Bunkan University, who was standing on the side, looked embarrassed. Sauron came out of the palace, gathered a group of guards, held swords and swords, and walked to Zhou Yuanzhong, Chen Zilong, and other Ming envoys who were waiting outside the palace, and shouted loudly in stiff Chinese with a fierce face: "You Ming country birds, which one is in charge?!" Zhou Yuanzhong heard that Sauron's words were not good, and his face trembled, he gritted his teeth and replied in a deep voice: "I am Zhou Yuanzhong, the envoy of the Ming Kingdom, who are you, how dare you call me the Great Ming Envoy like this?" Hearing that the blind Zhou Yuanzhong claimed to be the mastermind, Sauron's eyebrows jumped, his eyes widened, as if he had discovered a new continent, and after looking Zhou Yuanzhong up and down, he laughed wildly: "There is really no one in the Ming Kingdom, even a stinky blind man like you who plays the piano and sings can be the mastermind, and I am really laughing." Zhou Yuanzhong replied with a sneer: "I am waiting to come here to discuss business with the emperor of your country, who are you, dare to speak wild words here and ridicule us?" When Sauron saw that the blind man did not flinch at all, but spoke awe-inspiringly, he did not feel a sense of wonder in his heart. So, as soon as his eyes rolled, his face changed to a hideous and vicious color. He brushed out his waist knife, quickly rested on Zhou Yuanzhong's neck, and scolded loudly: "You blind bird, you dare to ask who your grandfather is!" Hmph, let me tell you, grandpa is the head of the palace guards, Sauron. It is a capital crime to pretend to be an envoy of the Ming Kingdom and deceive my Qing Emperor, but now I want to take you down and immediately send them to the Criminal Department for beheading! ”
