Chapter 123: Insecurity in the City
Ouchi of the Imperial Palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dolgon has already entered here, thinking that he has entered the Ming Palace, Dolgon was very happy at first, but now, Dolgon is a little unhappy.
The entire palace has been searched to the bottom, but there is only so much gold and silver, only 170,000 taels of gold and 130,000 taels of silver. Originally, when Dolgon entered the city of Beijing, he should have rewarded the soldiers, but now there is a shortage of gold and silver, how to do it.
There was a Manchu general next to him, it seemed that he should be Dolgon's henchman, this Manchu general obviously guessed Dolgon's mood at the moment, and the military general said: "Master, the slave has a suggestion. ”
"Oh, tell me about it." Dolgon said.
The Manchu military general began to pry Dolgon, "Master, although the former Ming Emperor did not leave much money, there are many rich people in the entire city of Beijing, and we can adopt the strategy of 'chasing stolen goods' and 'offering wealth'. ”
"Oh." Dolgon's eyes lit up, and he immediately listened.
"Master, we can arrest all the ministers of cultural relics in the former Ming Dynasty, and offer silver to the official rank, and the silver must be ten thousand for one product, and the following must be worth thousands. Those who offer silver will be released immediately; Those who hide the money and do not offer it will be punished and served. In addition, we can issue a notice asking the merchants of the city to give us silver ......."
Listening to the suggestion of this Manchu general, Dolgon's eyes lit up, and he glanced at himself with appreciation, nodded and said, "This is a clever plan, let's do it." ”
Another Manchu general hurried in from outside, apparently reporting the situation, and Dolgon waved away the confidant general who had just come up with the idea, and then asked, "What is the matter?" ”
The military general reported: "Master, an hour ago, we had a team of warriors killed in the east of the city, the opponent's methods were clean and neat, all of them were killed with a knife, a total of thirteen of our warriors were killed, none of them were spared, after the other party killed people, they never stopped, and left immediately." ”
Dolgon's face sank, realizing that there might be some force hidden in the capital, Dolgon asked in a deep voice, "Do you see the other party clearly?" ”
"Master, the number of the other party is not much, less than ten people, all of them are wearing the clothes of ordinary people, one of them is still a woman, not very old, but unfortunately, the other party is very cunning, obviously familiar with the streets of Beijing, and soon ran away without a trace, and our warriors couldn't catch up if they wanted to."
After listening to the report, Dolgon pondered, and his first instinct told Dolgon that this matter must not be simple, who is it?
The inner guards of the former Ming Dynasty, the people of the former East Factory?
Not like.
Dolgon shook his head, racking his brains and couldn't figure it out, Dolgon would never have thought that this was actually Zhang Feng, if he knew that this was Zhang Feng, I don't know what Dolgon would think.
For a long time, Dolgon was ashamed of his life by defeating Zhang Feng, thinking about finding Zhang Feng for revenge day and night, and wanted to kill Zhang Feng, and now, Zhang Feng is in Beijing, right under Dolgon's nose.
"Send an order to go down, search, and search the entire capital for me, and besides, no one is allowed to leave the city without my warrant." Dorgon said sternly and loudly.
The order was soon issued, the whole city of Beijing was under martial law, and the Manchu army stationed outside the city, the brigade entered the city, and began to intensify the search, of course, in the process of searching, looting and burning were inevitable.
………
To the east of the city, on a secluded street.
The streets are not wide, they are not bustling, and now they are even more deserted, and most of the shops are closed, including an inn, which is closed and has closed for business.
This inconspicuous inn was a secret contact point under the Beijing intelligence station, and Zhang Feng and the others stayed in this inn for two or three days.
Sun Qingjie was reporting the situation in Zhang Feng, "Commander-in-chief, the Tartars are simply crazy, the whole city has been searched, our inn has been searched once, but we didn't come to the backyard to search, and we sent it away." ”
Zhang Feng nodded, knowing that this is not a place to stay for a long time, the safest and best way is to get out of the city as soon as possible, but it is not easy to get out of the city now, the whole city is under martial law, and if you want to go out of the city, you must have a warrant from Dolgon.
Sun Qingjie said: "Commander-in-chief, I heard that many civil and military ministers have been arrested by the Tartars and asked for money from these ministers, and many wealthy families in the capital have not been spared, hey......"
Sun Qingjie sighed softly, and then continued: "Commander-in-chief, I don't understand a situation, the Tartars are so wantonly searching, and even openly looting, but they actually mourn for Emperor Chongzhen, I don't understand this. ”
According to Sun Qingjie's idea, the Tartar should hate Chongzhen to the bone, not only will he not mourn for Chongzhen, but he should directly whip the corpse.
Zhang Feng didn't think so, Zhang Feng understood that Dolgon must have done this to buy the hearts of the people, after all, death is great, let alone the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Zhang Feng also speculated that it would not be long before Dolgon had scavenged enough money, and Dolgon would put on another face, trying his best to appease the people and lay the foundation for his future rule.
Zhang Feng asked, "Stationmaster Sun, how is the arrangement for leaving the city?" ”
Sun Qingjie is the head of the Beijing Intelligence Station, and he has established a relatively complete intelligence network in Beijing, and he also has a relatively good network of relations; on the surface, Sun Qingjie is a businessman who has made friends with three religions and nine streams, but in fact he is an intelligence agent.
Seeing Zhang Feng asking, Sun Qingjie said: "Commander-in-chief, everything is arranged, we will go out of the city tonight." ”
In the entire city of Beijing, although martial law has long been imposed, Sun Qingjie has his own relationship, and today there is just an opportunity, and he can take advantage of this opportunity to go out of the city.
The night was dark.
There was no moonlight tonight, the sky was full of clouds, so black that it was almost to the point that he couldn't see his fingers, a carriage creaked along the street, and occasionally encountered Manchu Tartars patrolling, but Sun Qingjie had a way to deal with it.
No, not long after the carriage was moving, it was stopped by a patrol group of Tartars, and the leading Tartars asked loudly: "Who are you, stop." ”
In the car, Zhang Feng accompanied Princess Kunxing, who was naturally a special combat team member in the car, and Sun Qingjie was sitting in the front of the car, followed by two special combat soldiers dressed as entourage.
At first glance, I thought it was a big family, but in fact it was Zhang Feng and Princess Kunxing, seeing that there was a tartar called to stop, Princess Kunxing in the car was slightly nervous, Zhang Feng gave Princess Kunxing a comforting look, and gently held Princess Kunxing's little hand.
Feeling the temperature on Zhang Feng's big hand, and seeing Zhang Feng's calm eyes, the nervous Princess Kunxing gradually calmed down.
Sun Qingjie is worthy of being an old intelligence team member, and when he encounters such a situation, he is not nervous at all, accompanied by a smiling face, and quietly sent a silver ingot in his hand, and said with a smile: "This military master, our young master and young lady are in the car, send our young master and young lady to the Chengdong Academy." ”
Now there is still nearly an hour before the evening curfew, the streets are passable, but they need to be checked, and the leading Tartar has taken the money, and his heart is satisfied, but he still needs to take a look.
Sun Qingjie pulled the curtain, and the leading Tartar looked inside, because it was night, he couldn't really see it, but he saw a man and a woman in the carriage, the man was young, and the woman was even younger, but it was like a pair of brothers and sisters.
The leading Tartar waved his hand impatiently: "Go, go quickly, don't come out again after curfew." ”
Sun Qingjie nodded again and again, saying yes again and again, and the special combat team members who were driving the car pumped their horses, and the speed of the carriage was obviously faster, and it soon disappeared at the end of the street and disappeared into the night.
East of the city, the city gate.
After a stick of incense, the carriage appeared, it was still more than ten zhang away from the city gate, the speed slowed down significantly, and it was still a few zhang away from the city gate, and the carriage stopped.
Sun Qingjie jumped out of the carriage, enthusiastically, walked over quickly, and whispered: "Commander Guo, it's really troublesome." With that, a silver ticket was handed out.
This is Sun Qingjie has long been in contact, at this time tonight, it is this Guo Commander on duty, responsible for the passage of the city gate, if it is a Manchu Tartar, Sun Qingjie does not have this ability.
But this Guo commander is not a Manchu Tartar, it is considered a surrender army, it used to be the defenders of the capital, after the Tartars entered the city, the defenders of the capital fled and surrendered, and this Guo commander also surrendered to the Manchus with a large group of people under him.
Sun Qingjie is looking for the relationship between Commander Guo, usually the two know each other, have contacts, this time, Sun Qingjie spent a handful of silver, indicating that he wanted to send a few people out of the city, Commander Guo saw thousands of taels of silver, although he knew that things were not simple, but he agreed to come down.
In the words of Commander Guo, he xx, Lao Tzu did it, and after the big deal is done, he leaves, goes back to the south to be a rich man, and lives a good life. Thinking so in his heart, Commander Guo decided to do such a vote, and even his wife and children were settled.
Seeing Sun Qingjie arrive as promised, Commander Guo comprehended, nodded, and waved his hand: "Open the door, open the city gate, and let this carriage go out of the city." ”
There was a person who looked like a military general next to him, and he probably said worriedly: "General Guo, there are strict orders from above, and those who don't have a warrant can't go out of the city." ”
Commander Guo said loudly: "Who said that there is no warrant, bring the warrant." ”
The "warrant" thing, Sun Qingjie really prepared, this was discussed with Commander Guo, since it is a play, then naturally it must be enough.
Sun Qingjie hurriedly took out the "warrant" and raised it, and then gave this "warrant" to the questioning general, with the status of this general, it was naturally impossible to distinguish the authenticity of this "warrant".
Taking this "warrant" and looking at it, the military general also waved his hand and said: "Open the door, open the door, let them go out of the city." ”
The soldiers below, seeing that the leaders had already given orders, hurriedly opened the city gate, and the city gate slowly opened.
Sun Qingjie got into the carriage, sat at the front of the car, and said in a low voice: "Go, go out of the city!" ”
The special combat team members who drove the carriage drove out, and were about to pass through the city gate, not far away, there were Tartar generals who saw the abnormality, because the guards here not only led these people by Guo Commander, but also a lot of Tartars, but these Tartars generally just watched, and it was Guo Commander who led these surrendered troops who did the specific work.
"Drive!"
Seeing this, the special combat team members who were driving the car slammed the horse's back, and the carriage ran fast, and those Tartars also reacted and caught up one after another, and the leading Tartars shouted even louder.
"Close the gates, close the gates!"
