Chase Bridge. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Look, it's Concubine De!"
In the continuous spring rain, the people of Beijing gathered on the bridge, excitedly pointing to the wharf, at this time, under the escort of the Ming soldiers, a large number of concubines and princesses dressed in silk and satin, Fujin Gege, were lining up in a long line, slowly walking to the wharf to the river boats that sent them to Dagukou, where they would board large sea ships and head south to Nanjing, Suzhou and Changguo, where they went to Xuanye Yuan, that is, Yang Feng's Kang Mazi as a ji.
Among these people, the leader is Concubine Kang Mazi.
"E-niang!"
In an inconspicuous corner nearby, a young man with a hat on his head and wearing ordinary people's clothes looked at Concubine De with tears in his eyes and whispered, and at the same time he was about to reach into his arms.
A man next to him hurriedly grabbed his arm.
"Fourth elder brother, patience!"
The man looked at him with a determined gaze.
The fourth elder brother gritted his teeth and put down his hand.
"Let's go, Fourth Elder Brother, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, there are too many people in the capital who know us, and it will be troublesome if we are recognized."
The man cautiously looked around.
The fourth elder brother gritted his teeth, and finally glanced at Concubine De who boarded the boat, and his younger brother Yinyu, Yinyu may have been injured, and he didn't dare to walk, he was driven very rudely by two soldiers, and he was dragged directly onto the boat, and he looked pale, with a look of despair that could not be loved, and the fourth elder brother couldn't help but feel heartache. At this time, he already knew the news that Lao Thirteen was beaten into pulp by the demon, although Lao Thirteen was not his mother's compatriot, but like Lao Fourteen, he regarded him as his closest brother, but now one is dead and one is almost like a dead man......
"Look, it's the fourteenth elder brother, this little figure has red lips and white teeth, no wonder he is so popular in the barracks, and even the back door has been damaged."
A man not far from him suddenly said.
The fourth elder brother instantly understood the meaning of his words, and after being stunned for less than a second, he suddenly looked like an angry bull, desperate to pounce on him, and the person next to him quickly stopped him by the waist and hugged him.
"Uncle, let me go, I'm going to kill him, cousin ......"
Before he finished shouting, he was covered by the man's mouth, at this time there was already a strange look at them, the man he called his uncle did not hesitate to drag him away, fortunately, there were too many people watching the excitement, they were busy watching the golden phoenixes that were usually unattainable, but no one cared too much about them, the two of them dragged one by one and struggled quickly into a dense forest, and the man let go of his hand.
The fourth elder brother was also deflated at this time, lying on the ground and crying bitterly.
"Fourth Elder Brother, cheer up!"
The man pulled him up and shouted.
"Now is not the time to cry, don't forget what we're here for, don't forget that you still have to avenge them, don't forget that you still have to recapture our Daqing country!"
Then he added.
Just when he said the word revenge, the fourth elder brother had already stopped crying, wiped away the tears on his face, stood up and said to him: "If you think about your uncle's teachings, we still have to get down to business." ‘
The latter patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then the two walked through the woods together, and turned to Dongbianmen, because after Yang Wangye took over Beijing, there was basically no curfew, including the imperial city access curfew, only the palace could not be entered casually, and other places were casual, so they entered the inner city very smoothly. Then he entered the imperial city again, touched Xishiku all the way directly, and knocked on the door of the Salvation Hall, which was opened last year, that is, the predecessor of the Xishiku Cathedral, and soon a white man with blonde hair and blue eyes and braids opened the door, and when he saw the person next to the fourth elder brother, he exclaimed in a low voice: "Lord Long Keduo? “
But then he shut up, quickly pulled them in, and immediately closed the door.
"Mr. Liu, where is Mr. Hong?"
Sitting down after entering the door, Roncodo asked a little strangely.
He is talking about another missionary here, Hong Ruo, also called John Hong, and this Liu Ying are both French missionaries, Kang Mazi is accepting a large number of missionaries to learn Western science and technology because of Nan Huairen's relationship, and they are also allowed to preach, because they have to deal with Yang Feng over the years, so they are more important to these guys, including this salvation hall was also built by him, before Beijing was captured by Yang Feng, several other people went to other places to preach, only these two people were in Beijing, so Long Keduo asked.
"He went to Macau, and I have to say that the prince Yang who seized the city and drove His Majesty the Emperor away is the most familiar person I have ever seen in this country, and even he knows more about Europe than I do. But alas, he didn't allow us to preach. Not long ago he summoned us and asked us to stop our missionary work or be deported, and that we could live in Beijing but not do anything related to missionary work. But I'm afraid there is no way, this Yang Wang Ye is said to have a good relationship with the British and the Dutch, and the war between these two countries and us is on the verge of breaking out, and even the British buy arms from him, I am afraid this is also the reason why he does not like us. ”
Liu Ying said with a wry smile.
"Mr. Liu, so I am the most merciful and holy emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Your Majesty not only allowed you to preach, but also took out the money to build a church for you, originally you could continue to spread the gospel of God to the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately that demon ruined all this."
Roncodo said.
"Then what can be done, your army can't beat him."
Liu Ying spread his hands and said.
"What if your country helps us?"
The fourth elder brother said.
"Your Royal Highness, you also know that we are too far away, and our King Majesty still has to deal with the war in Europe, it is impossible to send troops to Asia, distance is our biggest obstacle."
Liu Ying said.
"Who do you think is stronger, the thief army or your army?"
The fourth elder brother asked.
"It's hard to say, I've observed them, there is no difference in the way they train, our army is also fighting like this, even his cavalry is very similar to the Polish hussars, including that scary spear, if anything, it's just that they have better weapons, but the gap is not very big, and I think their soldiers are not as good as our French."
Liu Ying said.
Of course, he seriously reduced the gap between the weapons level of the two armies, and in addition, he also greatly improved the level of the French army, and it was not the brigades of the Ming army that occupied Beijing, but the infantry brigade that had been fighting for more than two years, and the top three elites in the Ming army. After all, the gap in the effective firing range of rifles in the era of queuing up to shoot is more than 150 meters, which is no longer something that can be made up by the quality of soldiers, otherwise there will be no Crimean British and French troops hanging the Russian army.
"What if your country sent some of your officers to teach our soldiers the same tactics of warfare, and even to teach us how to fight, and to help us make the same weapons as you?"
The fourth elder brother said.
"This should be possible, but His Royal Highness, this is not the help that the church can provide, the church does not have an army, such help can only come from our Majesty the King, and I don't know if our Majesty the King is willing to provide such help."
Liu Ying said.
In fact, Louis XIV sent him and four other missionaries, Bai Jin, Li Ming, Zhang Cheng, and Hong Ruo, who had pit Kang Mazi in the Treaty of Nebuchu, to a large extent, to understand the Eastern Empire, to examine the customs and national strength, and see if there was any possibility of conquering it into a colony. Even if there is no possibility of conquest as a colony, it will be interesting to see if it will hinder French colonization in Asia, after all, France's main target is Indochina, although they have just failed in Siam not long ago.
And now Yinzhen has sent the opportunity to the door.
"If your country can help us, then I can promise on behalf of my father that you can freely preach in our land, and as for some of the previous ceremonial arguments, you can put aside for the time being, in short, you can preach as you want, and we can lend you a piece of land as a place to live, similar to Macau, as for where this land is......"
The fourth elder brother groaned and said, "How is Taiwan?" ”
Liu Ying's heart jumped.
He really didn't expect such a huge amount of money from His Royal Highness the Prince, Taiwan, almost catching up with Sardinia and Corsica, and the French East India Company had worked hard for so many years, but it was only a few small ports in India that he could obtain for France at once a piece of land that almost exceeded the sum of their gains, what a great feat, and he would go down in history forever.
"Your Royal Highness, I can only act as an intermediary, but I cannot promise you anything, so I hope that you had better send a few envoys, it just so happens that I am also going to be expelled, I can go to France with your envoys, and then help your envoys negotiate with His Majesty the King of France. As for the outcome of the negotiations, I can't guarantee it, but His Majesty Louis XIV should not refuse this matter, after all, France, England and the Netherlands are currently in a state of hostility, and Yang Feng is their friend, which may be able to impress His Majesty Louis XIV. ”
Liu Ying said.
"Then we have decided, Mr. Liu can find a chance to get out of the customs, and then go to Shengjing, and then we will discuss the rest of the things."
The fourth elder brother said with satisfaction.
He had now run to Shengjing, and had won the loyalty of the three generals outside the Guanwai as quickly as possible.
In fact, Kang Mazi's sons have begun to divide one side, Yinchu did not go south after arriving in Chengde, but Yinci led 3,000 people to leave Chengde and continue to go south to find Kang Mazi, it is said that the two were very unhappy when they divided their troops. Prince Yinren rushed out of Bauhinia Pass in front of the Ming army to catch up with Kang Mazi, and among the other princes, the third elder brother Yinzhi ran to Baoding to mix with Zhou Peigong, and the ninth elder brother Yinren was nailed to the ground with a spear by the Ming cavalry in Yi County, the thirteenth elder brother was smashed by Yang Feng, and the fourteenth elder brother changed to the promising profession of the little minister, and the fifteenth, sixteenth, and eighteenth elder brothers of Migui's life all fell into the hands of Yang Feng as the reserve army of the little minister.
The rest are temporarily missing.
And Yinzhen's eyes were quick and he ran directly to Shengjing to prepare, and after that, he stayed here and mixed up. (To be continued.) )
