Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Korean Envoy of the Tongue War Escorts Important Prisoners
At this time, Wei Xiang had no intention of attacking Korea at all, and he sent troops to cooperate with the cadres and police from Yaogang to take over the management of various places. Since this area was the original backyard of the Qing Dynasty, the influence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was very large, although Fulin had already issued the "Descending Book Shun Table", and the people's hearts of resistance were difficult to calm down for a while. Wei Xiang knew that there was no way to do it, they were resolute in suppressing the rebellion, and they were not merciless, and they could not show a little weakness at this time, otherwise it would be unimaginable. But the soft side also has to be expressed, and they have also announced to the people here that they will waive all taxes and fees for three years. The trained kiln officials trained the people who were not good at farming here, and brought chemical fertilizer to the people, telling them that if they cultivated according to the methods they taught and applied chemical fertilizer, the grain output would increase several times. Although the people still can't believe it, they also want to see if this is really the case next year. When there is hope, people have hope, and it is easy to settle down.
At the same time, the military and civilians began to repair the roads here, and the bridges and roads that no one had taken care of in the past also began to be repaired. The people are most willing to see the real benefits, there are many such things, and the people who have calmed down have to admit that the officials who come to the kiln gang are different from the past.
Huang Xin's intelligence agent sent to North Korea also sent back news that North Korea was sending a large number of troops to approach the Yalu River.
A few days later, the envoy of the Joseon king Yi Liang crossed the river with a group of people to ask for Wei Xiang. Wei Xiang feels very good now, and said in his heart, no matter what kind of envoy you are, you have come to meet me at the former dock, hehe! It feels good!
However, when the North Korean envoy and a group of people entered the lobby, Wei Xiang felt uncomfortable. The envoy not only carried a lot of big red gift boxes with people, but also five North Korean beauties.
Wei Xiang knew that the Koreans wanted to deal with themselves again by dealing with the officials of the Ming Dynasty. As for the reasons for the decline of the Ming Dynasty, both Zhang Zhimu and Mr. Ouyang taught them more than once that corruption was a fatal disease in the Ming Dynasty. Wei Xiang himself will never be bought, and he said in his heart, even if I don't dare! Those people in the political department of the army, seeing that they usually don't speak, as long as they have the slightest inappropriate thing, they will immediately report to the kiln gang. That's still clear, who knows which person around him is Li Zhi's person, secretly monitoring the army's every move? Wei Xiang also knows that these measures of Yaogang are really effective, in the face of gold and silver beauties, if there is no restraint, although Yaogang has repeatedly said that this is the bottom line that cannot be moved, but there is no way to ensure that everyone is so self-disciplined at all times, people often have weak times, and they must rely on strict systems to ensure that everyone does not dare to.
When the North Korean envoy saw Wei Xiang, he immediately saluted, and said very indifferently: "General Wei has come here on an expedition and defeated the Qing army!" When His Majesty received the news, he immediately ordered us to come and thank the general! We have also been bullied by the Qing army for too long, and we have been looking forward to the Ming army coming back. Now I'm finally looking forward to you! ”
As soon as Wei Xiang heard the words of the North Korean envoy, he wanted to be happy! The heart said, "How the fuck are you telling lies and talking like it's true!" ”
To tell the truth, when it comes to fighting Wei Xiangxing, but when it comes to engaging in politics, Wei Xiangzhao's envoy is too bad!
However, Wei Xiang had his own scheming, and when he saw that the envoy had brought so many things, it was estimated that they should all be good things, so he was polite and gave up his seat to the North Korean envoy. Seeing the envoy sitting down respectfully, Wei Xiang asked, "Your Excellency, I have a good impression of you. But I didn't like the guy you came here last time, and I wanted to cut off his head, but I thought it would be useful for him to go back and bring you a letter. Presumably he has already told you about the situation? ”
Wei Xiang's words were arrogant and rude, and the North Korean envoy felt very uncomfortable, but when he thought of his mission, he said with a smile: "General Wei, you see that we are here with sincerity, if there is any misunderstanding, let's just say it!" Pointing to the things and the five beauties, he said, "General! You see, it's all our hearts! ”
Wei Xiang snorted with his nose and said, "You have committed heinous crimes, and you want to use these to buy things?" ”
"No, no! The general misunderstood! These are all given to you by our Majesty to the general. The envoy said with a sneer, "As for how to make up for the losses caused by the misunderstanding between us, please indicate to the general!" ”
"Oh! Are all these things for me? Wei Xiang asked with shiny eyes.
The North Korean envoy immediately looked down on Wei Xiang in his heart, and said that this was a dirt bun and had never seen the world, but he immediately said: "Of course! The general has worked hard and made great achievements, and our majesty wants to express his condolences to the general. These five stunning beauties were also given to the general. ”
Wei Xiang said: "It seems that you still understand things, we spent a lot of money to send troops here, and the last time you fired at us, you also need to compensate for the casualties caused by the soldiers." I took all this money, and used it as military expenses, and although it was not much, it was better than nothing. But I don't like your beauties, I still like our Han women. You can take these goods back with you! ”
Wei Xiang's words were very damaged, that is, he accepted the property, but it was clear that it was confiscated, and the things sent could not be dispensed without, and the North Korean woman was rejected, and he obviously felt that the goods of others were not good!
The envoy was angry in his heart, but there was no way, and he still had something to say, so he had to force a smile and say, "Okay! When you get here, listen to the general. ”
Wei Xiangxin said, play with me, see how I play with you, and shouted: "Come on! Carry out the things sent by the envoy, and invite a few North Korean women to wait outside! ”
The inside of the lobby was clean, Wei Xiang took out the map and said: "The top generals of the army who fired at us are going to send us here, and I want to ask them personally how they misunderstood and fired at us." "Without waiting for the North Korean envoy to speak," he spread out the map, pointed to the map and said, "The order I received is to restore the border of the Ming Dynasty to the border between the Ming Dynasty and Korea during the original Yuan Dynasty." I took a look, and it turned out that our Tielingwei was in Yuanshan, so we went from Yuanshan, to the present Yanshan, and then to the south of the mouth of the Datong River, so that the boundary was clear and obvious from the map. Let's draw the border here! What do you think? ”
The North Korean envoy almost fainted when he heard this, and said in his heart, what is this? Hurriedly said with a stern expression: "General, the boundary drawn between us and the Ming Dynasty has been repeatedly finalized with your emperor of the previous dynasty, and it cannot be modified casually." ”
"Don't be excited, envoy," Wei Xiang pointed and said, "I heard that the original grandfather insisted on the original boundary, and then you came up with a king, who was very friendly to the Ming Dynasty, and our emperor thought that we were all like a family, so we didn't need to divide it, and in order to take care of you, I agreed to demarcate the border to the Yalu River." It is also through this hope that you can always be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Now that you have surrendered to the Manchus and betrayed the Ming Dynasty, we are not used to your problems! We continue to reclaim our territory. And, we're definitely not just modifying it! Rather, it is to restore the original boundaries of the Great Yuan Dynasty. If it's a random revision, in my opinion, for a capricious villain like you, you should be crossed over to Seoul! You can't be the master, I will give you ten days, so that you can go back and forth to your king's capital, Hancheng. You go back and give me a letter after you have discussed! If you agree, we will avoid the sword and soldier meeting, and if you don't agree, I will fight you! ”
"You, you! It's so unbelievable! The North Korean envoy finally couldn't help it, "We are sincerely courting you, you are indeed so rude!" It just doesn't make sense! The border matter is a major national matter, and our Majesty must have a letter to your emperor. National affairs, we will talk to your emperor! ”
"Come on!" Wei Xiang said, "You came to show goodwill, do you imagine treating those corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty again, saving face for the Ming Dynasty, you get really real inside." Tell you about it! This set doesn't work for me! In fact, whether you write a letter to the emperor or see the emperor, the emperor can't control me, I only listen to Mr. Zhang of our kiln. I will also tell you again, the silver used by the emperor was given by our kiln people. The emperor won't listen to you and can't get along with us. You should send a letter back to your king as I say, and I will wait for his news!" By the way, I'm not going to discuss this with you, I'm going to inform you. If you don't do what I say, in ten days, we will cross the Yalu River, and at that time, you will regret not listening to me today! ”
This North Korean envoy felt that he had met a bastard, and he couldn't say anything, but he didn't listen to others, this guy really had the strength to fight across the river! The envoy deliberately said with tears in his eyes: "We in North Korea have always served the Ming Dynasty as the superior state, and you can't treat us like this!" ”
Wei Xiang said in disgust: "Come on! You have been saying 'big things', but in fact you are constantly encroaching on our land northward. I used to think that you still have the heart to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty! Our former emperor adopted a policy of softness towards you and let you. But if you don't give you face, then don't blame us for not giving you face! ”
The Korean envoy knew very well that they, King Li Liang, would never agree to Wei Xiang's conditions. But it seems that if he doesn't agree, this Wei Xiang general will definitely go to war, and this Wei Xiang general also knows that the king will not agree, and is ready to go to war. It seems that a big war is inevitable. In this case, the North Korean envoy turned his heart sideways, tilted his head and said loudly: "General Wei, we Koreans have always obeyed the Ming Dynasty as the upper state, and it is also a last resort to commit ourselves to the Qing Dynasty. But what you are doing today is hard for us to accept. We don't want to be enemies of the upper state, but we are determined to fight to the end and protect the land of our ancestors. ”
"Huh! I know that what you said today is actually mobilizing a large army to the east bank of the Yalu River. We hope that in this way, we will destroy you unfaithful villains on the east bank of the Yalu River, lest the places we are about to take over be destroyed by war. However, I will give you ten days to wake up, and when you still don't know the current affairs, don't blame us for being unpredictable! Wei Xiang said firmly, and his words did not fall behind. At the same time, I also want to concentrate the North Korean army, so that it is easy to concentrate and annihilate.
The envoy stomped his foot angrily, turned around and left, thinking to himself who this is, the things have been collected, and the matter has not been done at all, not only has it not been done, but it has not been given any face. He knew that Wei Xiang also followed Zhang Zhimu to the south and north to do business, and he never suffered a loss. How can he take away the good things sent to the door.
After Wei Xiang reported the situation to the command center, Ouyang He called back: "You guys are ready to go to war in ten days!" Our side will also be ready to send warships to land at the mouth of the Datong River in ten days. ”
There is the "Shun Table Surrender Book" of the blessed emperor, Jiang Zhu and their army marched to Nuer Gandu Division is also very smooth, and the tribes that have already submitted to the Qing Dynasty and the guards also agreed to return to the "Shun Table Descending Book".
Li Wei and Li Jing discussed it and decided to leave half of the chariot and mechanized infantry regiment to Jiang Jiao to assist them in deterring hostile forces in Liaodong, and they would take other chariots, mechanized infantry, and flying teams, Li Jing's special forces, and withdraw to Yaogang by boat. Liaodong was handed over to Jiang Ping, Wei Xiang, and Lin Feng.
However, Li Wei and Li Jing wanted to bring Concubine Zhuang Niangniang, Emperor Fulin, as well as Dolgon, Dai Shan, Hong Chengchou, and Shang Kexi at the same time. These people are all brought by their families. All their land was confiscated.
It is worth mentioning that Shang Kexi was sealed by the Qing Dynasty and occupied a large area of fertile land in Haizhou (Haicheng), which is now completely under public ownership. Their homes were also confiscated. That Zu Dashou also brought it, but at Zhang Zhimu's request, Zu Dashou was secretly brought with him. The original concubines and concubines of the Shengjing Palace also had to be brought to the kiln. At the same time, Zhang Zhimu ordered Jiang Ji not to work in the palace anymore, the palace was destroyed to be repaired, and all the things in the palace were not allowed to be moved, except for allowing Fu Lin to choose and bring some. But the concubines and concubines had their own things, and Zhang Zhimu told Jiang Jian that they were still allowed to bring them.
The palace will be converted into a museum for everyone to visit.
Before leaving, Jiang Yan asked Concubine Zhuang's opinion and asked her if she had any other requirements. Concubine Zhuang asked to see Fan Wencheng again.
After Fan Wencheng came over to give a big gift to the emperor and Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Zhuang's tears couldn't stop flowing, "Mr. Fan! We're leaving the palace tomorrow and we're going to the kiln! Won't the gentleman follow me? ”
"Hui Niangniang, I'm old, so I won't follow." Fan Wencheng nodded and said, "What's the matter with me following you?" However, he also knew that Concubine Zhuang didn't know about the people of Yaogang, nor did she know about the situation in Yaogang, nor did she know what her future would be, so she didn't have the bottom in her heart to ask such a thing.
"Alas! We orphans and widows don't know if we can come back if we go like this! When I got to the kiln, I didn't have anyone to discuss when I encountered something. Concubine Zhuang sighed and said, there was no arrogance in her words.
"Niangniang doesn't have to worry about it, maybe when she arrives at the kiln, Niangniang doesn't want to come back!" Fan Wencheng said, "When you arrive at Yaogang, where you need to be a minister, you can send a telegram to the minister!" The radio telegraph of the kiln gang people has been opened! They said that they would install the phone in Shengjing immediately. At that time, we had things to do and we could talk on the phone. ”
"It's really interesting how they came up with such telegram and telephone stuff! These days, I read their newspapers and asked them some things about telegraph and telephone calls, but I didn't understand much. They said that they would know if they used it in the kiln! Concubine Zhuang said, "I didn't expect them to get the telegraph phone to Shengjing so soon." You look at the home telegraph can be communicated at any time. We're going to have to use fast horses to deliver the letter as fast as possible. What do you say we're fighting with people? Hehe! Concubine Zhuang laughed rarely.
Fan Wencheng had to admire, in such a short period of time, Concubine Zhuang, who did not leave the palace gate, already knew that there was a huge gap between the Qing Dynasty and the Yaogang people.
"What else do the ministers need to do with the mother and the emperor? Despite the commands! Fan Wencheng asked.
"Nope! Before leaving, I want to meet Mr.! Concubine Zhuang said, "The people of Yaogang are worthy of us." We are allowed to take away our own things, and we are also allowed to take away those we use for our own use. It is said that they are building a house for us at the kiln hill. It's good that our deceased monarch can receive such courtesy! ”
"Niangniang, since the kiln people said it, they will definitely do it. I believe that. The house they built for the emperor and his mother will not be as big as the palace, but it will be very comfortable! There is heating in the winter and cold wind in the summer. The house has a bathroom, water supply, lights, telephone, refrigerator. Fan Wencheng tried to talk about the benefits of the kiln to reduce Concubine Zhuang's worries.
As soon as the morning dawned, Jiang Pai sent a long convoy of cars to send the people in the palace and their things from the palace to the Luo Shi Quan'er Pier.
Concubine Zhuang and the emperor, as well as the people in the palace, all got in the car for the first time. When they got into the car, they trembled, and as soon as the car started, the roaring sound made them extremely nervous. It wasn't until they got out of the small south gate and saw the wilderness outside the city that they relaxed and didn't feel the sound of the car terrible.
When they arrived at the Luoshi Quan'er Wharf, Li Wei and Li Jing both came to see Concubine Zhuang and the emperor, of course, they would not do any courtesy. Because along the way, they have to accompany Concubine Zhuang and Fulin, and they want to meet.
Two warships were prepared on the dock, and when Concubine Zhuang and Fulin stepped on the ladder to board the ship, Concubine Zhuang suddenly saw Hong Chengchou and Dai Shan, Shang Kexi, and Zu Dashou. Although they all changed into clean clothes, all of them were very clean, but they all carried two iron rings attached to each other. Of course, Concubine Zhuang didn't know that thing was called a hand button. These people were also waiting to board the ship, and they also saw Concubine Zhuang and Fulin. The two groups of people looked at each other and lowered their heads.
Hong Chengchou saw that Concubine Zhuang still maintained an arrogant expression, and he didn't know how many times he scolded Concubine Zhuang, if it weren't for this woman, he might have died on a hunger strike and achieved a lifetime of fame. But, alas! Hong Chengchou could only sigh. Behind each of them were Li Jing's two special forces, and they couldn't die if they wanted to.
When Concubine Zhuang landed on deck, she didn't have time to see what was like on this ship, but she saw Dolgon being detained on board. At this time, Dolgon no longer had the arrogance of the past, although he had changed his clothes, but his tired face made Concubine Zhuang feel both relieved and pitiful.
Dolgon looked up and saw Concubine Zhuang and Fulin's mother and son, "Hey! He let out a painful sigh, and then turned his head away, not daring to look at Concubine Zhuang's mother and son again.
Concubine Zhuang held back her tears, walked up to Dolgon, and said, "Yo! Isn't this the regent? We have died so many people in the Qing Dynasty, are you still alive? Where is the majesty of the regent? What's going on like this today? Oops! Look, one hand is still connected to the iron rod of this ship, what are you doing here? "Concubine Zhuang, who has been suppressed by the regent Dolgon for many years, can finally vent. Dorgon twisted his head and didn't turn around.
At this time, a soldier on the ship said to Concubine Zhuang: "Concubine Zhuang, your room is arranged!" Please come with me! ”
Concubine Zhuang had no choice but to follow the soldiers.
After the people in the palace boarded the ship, Hong Chengchou, Shang Kexi, and Zu Dashou also boarded the ship. On deck, they saw Dolgon, and they did not dare to speak. Dolgon could see that these people were treated differently from Concubine Zhuang and Fulin, Concubine Zhuang and the emperor were still treated as guests, and Hong Chengchou and they were all captives.
The captive family members of Hong Chengchou, Shang Kexi, and Zu Dashou all boarded another ship.
Whether it is Concubine Zhuang or Hong Chengchou, Shang Kexi, Zu Dashou, or these people, they feel incredible that there are a lot of ships coming and going at the Luoshi Quaner Wharf, and the people coming and going are also very lively, and it is impossible to see that Liaodong has just gone through a baptism of war. In particular, when the warships are going down the river, there are many sailboats and tugboats from the kiln on the river, and it seems that it is more prosperous than before.
The people in the palace rarely had the opportunity to see the outside world, and after the novelty of the cabin, they all looked out of the window to see the scenery. Although Fulin is the emperor, he is still a child after all, and he wants to go out to see. The guard at the gate said, "Go out, go out, stay safe!" The tone is not talking to an emperor at all, it is just instructing a child. made Concubine Zhuang feel very complicated, that is, she thanked the guards for letting Fu Lin out, but she was a little dissatisfied, Fu Lin is the emperor after all, and you have a guard on the boat to talk like this. If I had relied on this sentence before, I would have killed your whole family.
When he came to the deck, Fu Lin quickly forgot that he was the emperor, and he played everywhere and asked everywhere, everything was too novel. The sailors on the ship also knew that he was the little emperor of the Qing Dynasty, although no one would treat him as the emperor, and they were all willing to answer his questions.
The sailors told Fulin about the caliber of the cannon, as well as the difference between the 130 caliber cannon and the 203 caliber cannon, how much difference in power, how far they can shoot, and so on. The little emperor felt that today's ship was not in vain. When I was tired of playing, I returned to the warehouse and told Concubine Zhuang about what I had seen.
The warship sent them to the mouth of the sea, and they had to be sent to the 5,000-ton ship Hongzehu.
The sappers of the kiln gang have built a floating wharf on the estuary of the river using red pine logs. It was a large number of Korean pine logs tied into square wooden stacks, and cement poles were driven into the seabed with air hammers and steel cables to fix them. Don't let them run away with the current, and they can rise and fall with the tide. A row of floating docks made of these wooden squares stretched out into the sea, and large ships could lean on the edge of the floating docks.
The captives were disembarked at the mouth of the river, and had to walk along the floating dock to the front of the big ship, and pedal the gangway to the big ship.
Concubine Zhuang came to the front of the big boat, sighed, and said to Fulin: "Seeing this big ship like a mountain, what are we fighting with the Yaogang people?" ”
This time, the little emperor Fulin did not recklessly be strong!
