Chapter 40 Concubine Zhuang Fulin Arrives at Yaogang Traitor Prisoner of War Arrives in Beijing

The conditions on the 5,000-ton ship Hongzehu were much better than those on the warship, and at least the cabins were much wider than those on the warship. Concubine Zhuang and the emperor boarded such a big ship, and they temporarily forgot the troubles of the country's ruin and family, and began to appreciate everything on this ship. Fu Lin felt strange and asked the crew of the ship, where is the cannon of such a large ship?

The crew smiled and said, "Our ship is mainly engaged in transportation, and it is not equipped with cannons?" ”

Fu Lin asked incomprehensibly: "What should I do if I encounter an enemy?" ”

"Huh! They can't catch up with us," said the crew, "and the enemy of our ship will run away when they see it." Besides, you don't need a cannon, you can see that the ship is mounted with a 12.27 mm heavy machine gun, and the average wooden boat will become a sieve when we hit a string of bullets. And that thing has a range of miles, and we can beat them into a colander from a distance in an ordinary ship! ”

"How did you build such a big ship?" Fulin seems to have endless questions.

"Oops! I don't know, I'm just working on a ship. However, I heard that we have a bigger ship to launch at the end of this year! Our ship has more than 5,000 tons, and it is said that the big ship has more than 20,000 tons! The crew knew that this child was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and they were willing to talk to him.

Concubine Zhuang really doesn't want this Fulin to talk to these ordinary people, the main reason is that these people they have never looked down on are not regarded as emperors at all, just like ordinary children. Concubine Zhuang couldn't accept this.

Dolgon, Hong Chengchou, the prisoners, and their families also boarded the ship together. Their families strongly demanded to meet these people, and Li Wei and Li Jing said: "I will let them go when I see the ship going to sea, let them and their families meet!" ”

"You're not afraid that they'll jump into the sea?" Li Jing stabbed Li Wei and asked.

"Jumping into the sea! Aren't we going to save some trouble? Li Wei said, "You can't all jump into the sea!" In fact, it was nothing to jump, and the reporters took pictures of them along the way. Jumping into the sea, it can't be said that we didn't capture them alive! ”

"You are a bodhisattva! Then let them go, tell them that they are okay, and their families will take care of them. They must be locked up in advance before docking. Li Jing said.

As soon as the ship left the dock, Dolgon, Dai Shan, Hong Chengchou, Shang Kexi, and Zu Dashou did not expect that the kiln people would open all the buttons of their hands and allow them to go to their family's cabin. They didn't expect that the food for their families on the ship was also very good. Although for these people who are used to wearing gold and silver, these foods are nothing, but in this situation, there are meat and vegetarian meals, which is considered good. The subordinates who are with them usually can't eat such a good thing at home. The places on board are also very good, although they can't all live in cabins with bathrooms and showers, but there are communal bathing places on board. In life, the kiln people try to take care of them as much as possible. This made these people not think at all, and even these people were fantasizing about whether the kiln people would forgive their sins after they arrived so merciful.

As the sun set, the Hongzehu left the dock.

The 5,000-ton ship looked very big on the dock, but when the ship reached the sea, it was like a leaf, and many people began to get seasick. When it was getting dark, everyone on the ship fell asleep in the night, except for the steam turbines that were "booming". The boat was a lot quieter, and Li Wei said to Li Jing: "The sentinels are all arranged!" Let's sleep for a while, too. When the ship docks at dawn, there is still a lot going on! ”

Li Wei and Li Jing were both landlubbers before, and they were also a little seasick, and they slept all night, and they also felt groggy at dawn, but when the sun rose, they felt a lot more energetic. Especially when you see the land from a distance, people come to the deck and look in the direction of the land, but in fact, they have to go a long way to see the land.

When the ship gradually approached Dengzhou (Penglai), Li Jing's people invited Dolgon, Dai Shan, Hong Chengchou, Shang Kexi, and Zu Dashou to the bottom warehouse and put hand buckles on them again. When these people wore their hands and buttons, they couldn't stop thanking the kiln workers for taking care of them on the boat.

Unbeknownst to them, as soon as the ship docked, the people on deck were all invited back to the cabin. After they all returned to the warehouse, Dolgon, Dai Shan, Hong Chengchou, Shang Kexi, and Zu Dashou and their families, except for women, children, and servants, were all invited to the deck, and each family stood separately.

After a while, Dolgon, Dai Shan, Hong Chengchou, Shang Kexi, and Zu Dashou were escorted to the deck and stood with the family members they had picked out. At this time, Dolgon, Dai Shan, Hong Chengchou, Shang Kexi, and Zu Dashou felt that the situation was wrong, and the kiln soldiers standing around them were all holding guns at them.

Hong Chengchou asked tremblingly: "Master Jun, what's going on with us!" The kiln soldier did not answer his question.

At this time, Shang Kexi, who was close to the side of the ship, exclaimed: "Jinyi Guard! ”

Everyone looked at the dock, and they saw that there were many brocade guards standing on the pier. Hong Chengchou glanced at it and collapsed directly on the deck. He knew that when Jinyiwei came, the people of Yaogang wanted to send them to the capital to the emperor, and the consequences would be very miserable. What's more, Hong Chengchou dared not see the emperor the most. Suddenly, Hong Chengchou got up and was about to jump into the sea. The kiln soldiers had already defended him and kicked him over.

However, Dolgon was very calm, saw Li Wei and Li Jing coming, and asked, "This general, why is our family divided into two parts?" ”

"This morning, our President Zhang sent a telegram, saying that your family will be very miserable if they are sent to the capital. But the women and children were innocent, and they didn't take part in the evil. They were asked to send them to the kiln to give them a chance to fend for themselves, but they were asked to remain anonymous and quiet. What do you think? Li Jing replied to Dorgon. In fact, the words were also said to Dai Shan, Hong Chengchou, Shang Kexi, Zu Dashou and a few others.

Dai Shan tilted his head and said, "Okay! I admire you kiln workers, and I will thank you when I fall to the ground. It's a pity that I can't die in the hands of your Yaogang people, it's too unjust to die in the hands of that soft egg of Emperor Chongzhen! ”

Li Wei smiled and said, "Hehe! When you arrive in Beijing City, you will know how hard our emperor's hand is. If you don't believe it, ask Lord Hong Chengchou! You didn't look at him, are you going to jump into the sea now? ”

Hong Chengchou listened to Li Wei's words, and his head couldn't get into his crotch.

At this time, Concubine Zhuang Niangniang rushed out of the bottom warehouse and said to Li Wei: "General, you can't hand them over to your emperor, we are surrendering to your kiln people, and we want to kill or kill us and let you kiln people." You can't hand them over to those brocade guards! ”

Li Wei said: "Concubine Zhuang, don't worry, you and your son, we will send you to Yaogang, everything we promise you, we will keep our promises." But they were captured by us before you went to the "Book of Descending Books", and our emperor already knew about the situation. The emperor wants them, we can't resist the decree! ”

Concubine Zhuang still didn't give up, "I know, general, you can save them!" ”

"Save them!" Li Wei pointed to these, "After they entered the customs, they created empty cities and killed many of us, you said let me save them?" If I save them, I won't live for a few days, and my subordinates, our Han people, will kill me! ”

"Concubine Zhuang, don't ask for them, we can't beat others, we deserve to die, there's nothing to say. It's just that we're sorry for the Qing Dynasty! Dorgon shouted from the side.

As soon as the gangway to get off the boat was erection, a sailor ran over and shouted to Li Wei and Li Jing: "Yaogang is in a hurry!" ”

Li Jing took the telegram and glanced at it, handed it to Li Wei, Li Wei glanced at it, and ordered: "Put Zu Dashou and their family members into the bottom warehouse." The others disembark immediately! ”

These people on the deck originally looked at Li Wei and Li Jing, hoping that something would change at this last moment, but after listening to Li Wei's words, except for Zu Dashou and his family, who saw a glimmer of life, the others were disappointed and some were about to cry.

As soon as Zu Dashou and his family were escorted away, a soldier from Li Jing shouted, "The prince is here!" "Li Jing's soldiers followed Li Jing and met the prince several times.

Li Wei hurriedly said to Concubine Zhuang: "Concubine Zhuang, hurry back to the warehouse!" ”

Concubine Zhuang also knew that it would be very troublesome to be seen by the eunuchs sent by the court of the Ming Dynasty, so she immediately stopped saying anything and walked towards the warehouse. But Li Wei and Li Jing were a little anxious, and Concubine Zhuang was still walking back steadily at this time, still maintaining the so-called prestige.

finally saw Concubine Zhuang enter the cabin, and the laughter of the princess and princess also came: "Quack! The two generals have worked hard! You have won again and eliminated the biggest hidden danger for the emperor! Envy is mine! Rattle! ”

Wang Gonggong is also very familiar with Li Wei and Li Jing. Li Wei and Li Jing greeted each other, and Li Jing smiled and said, "Princess, look at our gift today, are you satisfied?" ”

The prince didn't look carefully at the people on these decks, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if I'm not satisfied, I think the emperor will be very satisfied!" After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the people on the deck, "Oops! There are also acquaintances of mine! Isn't this Lord Hong Chengchou? The prince deliberately smacked his lips and said, "Oops! Lord Hong! I attended your funeral, and so did the emperor! That's a big momentum! What's the matter, this funeral was in vain, and you're still alive? ”

Hong Chengchou still dared to raise his head. The prince turned his head and said, "Yo! This is Shang Ke Xishang! I heard that you were one of the first three princes of the Manchu Dynasty. However, those two princes, Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde, were also escorted back to Beijing by me last time. Oops! Lord Shang! Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde were miserable, they were executed by Ling Chi by the emperor, and they were so miserable when they died! The meat was cut off piece by piece, and the rest of the bones were gnawed by wild dogs! ”

The words of the prince said that these people on the deck fought a cold war. Now, Shang Kexi didn't care anymore, and shouted: "Gelding donkey!" Lao Tzu is not afraid, it has already been enough! ”

"Oops! Lord Shang, I'm kind enough to tell you, don't scold people if you don't appreciate it? How can you say that you have also been an official of the Ming Dynasty, how can you learn from those barbarians? The prince was not annoyed and continued.

Li Jing said: "Princess, if you don't accept our gifts, we will all send them back to Yaogang!" ”

"Don't mind! The two generals are young! The anger is always uncontrollable, don't you see, someone scolds me, am I not annoyed? After speaking, the prince waved his hand and said, "Come on!" Just listen to you, let them get off the ship! The little bunnies I brought with me are also in a hurry! ”

On the dock, there were many brocade guards brought by the princes, and there were many officials and soldiers from Dengzhou (Penglai). They all had chains and shackles, and all those who came down from the ship put on the shackles and locked them with chains.

Seeing that all the people on the deck had disembarked, Wang Gonggong said to Li Wei and Li Jing, "This is the first time I have been on such a big ship, and I don't have time to take a good look at it this time." ”

"It's not bad if you're in a hurry to return to Beijing!" Although Li Wei said so, in fact, he really didn't want the prince to stay on the ship longer. Because, they don't want the princess to see Concubine Zhuang and they are also on this boat. It's not that I'm afraid of him, but I just think it's best not to bother.

"Don't worry, no!" After speaking, he approached Li Wei and Li Jing again, so that Li Wei and Li Jing could smell bad breath, "I'll escort them back to Beijing and click as soon as possible." Then I will accompany the emperor to the kiln! Hey! After speaking, the prince was so beautiful that he was happy. Wang Gonggong was happier to go to the kiln and see Zhang Zhimu than anything.

On the wharf, after the prince's men locked up the prisoners, they tied them with ropes and carried them to the barge. Finally, the prince said goodbye to Li Wei and Li Jing, boarded the tugboat, and a string of boats left Dengzhou (Penglai) with their horns and sailed towards the mouth of the Yellow River. They were going to enter the Yellow River and then the canal to Beijing.

The prince and the princess left, and Li Jing's people also got off the boat, emptied the dock, and then asked Concubine Zhuang to get off the boat, they came to the dock, and boarded a passenger ship that had already stopped here.

When Zu Dashou boarded the passenger ship, Li Wei asked him to open the hand buckle. Zu Dashou asked puzzledly: "General, are you sending me and my family to Yaogang?" ”

"Yes! We have been ordered not to give you to the prince to take away, but to take you back to the kiln. It is estimated that our Mr. Zhang doesn't want you to die! ”

Zu Dashou nodded and didn't speak again, and got on the boat. However, Zu Dashou seemed to understand in his heart, maybe when he surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, he was really forced to do it, and after surrendering, he did not do anything sorry for the Ming Dynasty.

Concubine Zhuang, Fu Lin and Zu Dashou can be regarded as eye-opening when they arrive on the passenger ship, and even the supplies in the cabin need to be taught several times by the attendants on the ship to teach them. However, this Fu Lin seems to be more interested in the waitress on the ship, if it weren't for Concubine Zhuang's repeated reminders, I don't know what he would do.

Concubine Zhuang and Fulin have never left Liaodong, and after entering the Yellow River, they feel even more novel when they see the scenery on both sides of the river. Concubine Zhuang thought to herself, no wonder the Eight Banners screamed excitedly when they heard that they were going to break through the wall and enter the Ming Dynasty. It's really beautiful. They didn't expect that this passenger ship would go so fast against the current, and it was not as loud as the warship and the Hongze Lake, that is, comfortable and fast. At this time, Concubine Zhuang didn't want anything else in her heart, so if this is the case, let's enjoy it first. If the Qing Dynasty hadn't been defeated, I would probably have been imprisoned in the dark and dark Yongfu Palace in Shengjing for the rest of my life.

On the passenger ship, except for Xiao Fulin, who wanted to watch a little and don't let him do anything out of the ordinary, Concubine Zhuang was very quiet. She knew that the kiln people could treat them so well, which showed that they were still useful to the kiln people. When the time comes, you will have cards to play.

The passenger boat went up the river along the river, and when it crossed the original new river, because the passenger boat was extra careful, they waited in line for a while, and let them pass first. When the ship arrived at Tongguan, the sky was bright, and you could already see the north and south of the Tongguan Yellow River Bridge. Although it is not yet open to traffic, the majestic momentum of the bridge has already been revealed. After the passenger ship docked at Fenglingdu Wharf, everyone had to disembark, and they had to change trains to Yaogang. But these people who got off the boat, as soon as they arrived at the dock, their eyes were attracted by the Tongguan Bridge. With their level of knowledge, they would never have imagined it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes. There will be such bridges in the world. They saw the construction workers busy on the bridge, small like ants.

In fact, the train has never been imagined for them, until the train starts from Fenglingdu Station, their eyes are withdrawn from the Tongguan Bridge, and the train they take is something they explore again.

Concubine Zhuang and Fu Lin could never have imagined that something as big as a train would run so fast on the tracks.

Fulin's teacher saw in the newspaper of the Yaogang people that there was a train in the Yaogang people, but in fact, the teacher didn't know what the train was, and what he told Fulin was his own random guess. Sitting in the soft sleeper box on the train, Fulin also puffed up and said to Concubine Zhuang: "The train that my teacher said is not like this at all, what he said is all nonsense!" I should have punished him well! ”

After Fu Lin finished speaking, the two of them stopped talking, they all knew that they had no capital to punish anyone now, and they had to rely on others to give them money if they could survive.

However, Concubine Zhuang, a woman, looked out the window at the fields speeding by, and suddenly had a feeling of the vastness of the world, and if she didn't suffer from this, she would never have such a feeling in her life. Concubine Zhuang suddenly thought that it would be good if Fan Wencheng was here, it seemed that she had a lot to say to Fan Wencheng. I remembered that I was in Yongfu Palace and said, "I don't know if I can come back!" ”

Fan Wencheng said: "Maybe Niangniang will not want to come back!" ”

It seems that Fan Wencheng was able to say that sentence after staying in the kiln for a while. Could it be that this time he will really respond to Fan Wencheng's words, and he will no longer miss that Yongfu Palace and no longer want to return to Shengjing? Concubine Zhuang understood that after Fan Wencheng arrived at Yaogang, she saw the difference between the Qing Dynasty and Yaogang, and knew that as long as the Qing Dynasty started a war, it would undoubtedly be defeated. The Manchurians would not fully believe them at all, and Azig, who came with Fan Wencheng, was a reckless man, and it was estimated that he would drink all his alcohol when he arrived at Yaogang. He couldn't see anything. Fan Wencheng said too much, and if he couldn't get it, his head would have to fall off. couldn't help but Concubine Zhuang said: "Fan Wencheng is smart! What Concubine Zhuang didn't say was, "Let Dolgon put you under house arrest and not kill you!" Save yourself, it's really clever! ”

Fu Lin seems to have forgotten that he is still the emperor, on the train, one time to this carriage, and a while to the dining car. This train is not a special train, but both carriages are left for them. When Fu Lin arrived at the carriage where ordinary passengers were riding, Li Jing's special forces had to follow him and walk back and forth in the carriage. Fu Lin also felt that he had never had such a good time.

The train stops at many stations along the way, and at each station there are many people carrying large bags and small wraps up and down. People are all dressed cleanly, people are also happy, and the world is transparent, which makes Concubine Zhuang feel better.

At lunchtime, the visitor invited Concubine Zhuang and Fulin to the dining car. When she came to the dining car, Concubine Zhuang also saw Zu Dashou, and Zu Dashou immediately lowered his head when he saw Concubine Zhuang and Fulin.

Li Wei and Li Jing invited Concubine Zhuang and Fu Lin to sit down side by side, and they sat opposite them. Li Wei said: "I just received a telegram from home, our train will not arrive at Yaogang until midnight today, and my family will not send someone to pick you up at the train station." You directly bring the people close to you and stay in the Yaogang Hotel, and we also arrange other people to stay in other accommodations. Your house will be basically completed by the end of the year, and you will be able to live in it. The exterior can be perfected slowly. ”

At this point, Concubine Zhuang also changed her usual arrogance, "We, the king of the dead country, can be treated so courteously by you, thank you!" Arrange it as you want! Bothering you! ”

As soon as the food was served, Li Wen and Li Jing said goodbye and left Concubine Zhuang and Fulin's table. Eating at the same table with Concubine Zhuang and their mothers, Li Wei and Li Jing were uncomfortable, and the two of them were not used to having someone eat with them so close.

They came to Zu Dashou's table and looked very casual, Concubine Zhuang pricked up her ears, and when she heard it, they were already very familiar with it. They ate and drank together, and Zu Dashou's voice had regained his confidence. As soldiers, they are still talking about the battle that has just ended. At this time, they talked as if they were not just participating in it, and they were all objectively analyzing. If Concubine Zhuang would have been angry about this before, but now she doesn't know why, listening to them talk, she seems to be a bystander. Concubine Zhuang is also very strange that Fu Lin doesn't know when she will no longer put that little emperor on the shelf, and completely restore the state of a teenage child.

These people who went with Li Wei and them enjoyed the treatment of guests. But these people who followed the prince were not so happy. They sat on barges all the way, unsheltered from the wind and rain, and were given only a little water and food for a day. Shang Kexi, who talked back to the prince, ordered him to be thirsty and hungry all the time.

If you are slightly dissatisfied, the whip of the brocade guard will be drawn. These brocade guards looked at them with fire in their eyes, and they hated to eat these people raw.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was pacing around the house. As soon as the princes and the others left Dengzhou (Penglai), the telegram from the Yaogang people was sent to Emperor Chongzhen. Emperor Chongzhen hoped that these people would arrive in Beijing as soon as possible, and he would have to vent his anger well. In particular, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to meet that Hong Chengchou. When the prince was leaving, Emperor Chongzhen repeatedly instructed him, "Don't let Hong Chengchou die on the road, I want to catch up with him well." Ask him why he betrayed me and killed his siblings for the Manchu Qing Dynasty? ”

Not only is Emperor Chongzhen looking forward to the early return of the prince, but everyone in Beijing is looking forward to it. These people were escorted back, which also marked the end of the nightmare brought to them by the Manchus!
