In the early morning, the sky is faintly flooded with a glimmer of light, Tianjin City will ring a thick, long, peaceful bell, one after another, the continuous bell spreads far away, the whole Tianjin City from the sleep of the wake up, when one hundred and eight bells end, Tianjin City also began a day of prosperity and noise.

The bell is from the bell and drum tower of one of the three treasures of Tianjin Wei, the bell and drum tower is located in the very center of Tianjin city, there are four arched door openings, the east and west, north and south four main streets converge here, the bottom floor is made of big blue bricks up to eight meters wide and narrow on the square platform, on the platform, two floors are built again, it is not only the landmark building of Tianjin City, but also the commanding height of Tianjin City.

With the approach of Tianjin's sacrifice of prisoners, the number of people pouring into Tianjin from the capital and the surrounding prefectures and counties of Tianjin has been increasing, and all the large and small inns inside and outside the city have been chartered down early, and the private gardens of rich salt merchants in Tianjin, such as Wenjin Garden, Shuixizhuang, Yimu Garden, Fanzhai, Laofu Village, Yanxue Building, Qiyuan, Gushui Thatched Cottage, Nanxi Garden, Yuyou Garden, etc., have also been ordered by a number of princes and ministers to fight the front station of the rich slaves vying for charter.

On April 13, the Minister of the Guard, the First Rank Duke, Oro Dai and Prince Baotai of Heshuoyu rushed to Tianjin with 5,000 horsemen and horses. The cavalry battalion is also a royal guard, but it is different from other Eight Banners strong brigades, and it is a large battalion mixed with Manchu, Han and Mondo ethnic groups, and its strength is maintained at about 28,000 people all year round.

Oro Dai, a native of Manchuria with the Yellow Flag, the eldest son of Tong Guogang, and Fahai's elder brother, has a rigid and arrogant personality. has a bad relationship with his father Tong Guogang, so much so that Tong Guogang also asked Kangxi to 'please punish his son', which made the whole country know. His relationship with his younger brother Fahai is even worse, and they are like enemies to each other.

Oro Dai commands the army all the year round, is extremely martial, unruly, and dares to speak out in front of Kangxi, he is extremely tough, and he is also very righteous, and he is a hardcore supporter of the eighth elder brother Yinxi. The fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen broke out of the Eight Masters Party, established himself in the Fourteenth Party, and begged Kangxi to restore his enemy, his brother Fahai, and move him to Dali Siqing, which made Oro Dai extremely dissatisfied with Yinzhen.

Prince Heshuoyu Baotai is the third son of Kangxi's second brother Fuquan, just thirty years old, Kangxi attacked Prince Heshuoyu in the forty-second year. This man is also a daring and daring person. and Oro Dai are like-minded, and they are both die-hard supporters of the eighth elder brother Yinxi.

Kangxi led his troops to take over the 9,000 Spanish prisoners of war with Oro Dai and Baotai as the chief and deputy envoys, which can be described as thoughtful.

In the one-acre garden adjacent to the camp of the Sanchakou Water Division, Yinzhen was gathering with Zhao Hongxie, the governor of Zhili, and Du Chengsi, the chief military officer of Tianjin. Tianjin Patrol Salt Imperial History, Tianjin Dao and other officials of Tianjin Wei planned and arranged Tianjin's military exercises and prisoner sacrifice ceremonies, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, everyone was surprised.

Soon, there was a report from the guard, "The Minister of the Guard, the First Rank Prince." Oro Dai and Prince Bao Tai of Heshuo Yu came to announce the decree. ”

When he heard that it was Oro Dai and Prince Heshuo Yu Baotai coming, Yinzhen couldn't help but be slightly stunned, what does Kangxi mean? Why did you send the two Oro Dai to fight the front station, and they also brought so many cavalry? These two are both starlings' henchmen. Is it to defend yourself? At that moment, he didn't have time to worry too much, and hurriedly led a group of officials to welcome out of the door.

As soon as the crowd left the gate of the One Acre Garden, a knight galloped up and shouted, "The minister has arrived!" The officials knelt down to greet them! ”

What a big show! Yinzhen felt a burst of disdain in his heart, everyone was still three hundred yards away, so he called him to kneel and greet him! Glancing at the horse team galloping quickly, he unhurriedly dusted off his horse's hooves and knelt down.

Oro Dai and Bao Tai ran straight to everyone. Fang Cai immediately reined in and glanced at Yinzhen and the others who were kneeling on the ground. He didn't get off the horse for a long time. ..., the dust brought up by the horse team soon filled over, enveloping Yinzhen and the others. Yinzhen's hands on the ground moved slightly, and he secretly wondered in his heart, why are Oro Dai and Baotai so arrogant? What's the purpose behind this? Thinking that the two of them were Qincha identities and came to deliver the decree, he couldn't help but calm down and wait for the holy decree.

When the dust cleared, Oro Dai and Bao Tai jumped off their horses, stood facing south, tore open the holy decree and read it: "The sacrifice of prisoners in Tianjin is a grand event to show off the prestige of our Qing Dynasty and raise the prestige of our navy.

He ordered the 14th prince Yinzhen, together with Oro Dai, Bao Tai, Zhao Hongxie, Du Chengsi and other four people to properly arrange the driving to ensure local security in Tianjin. Considering the large number of Spanish prisoners, Oro Dai and Bao Tai were specially ordered to lead 5,000 elite cavalry to assist the navy in supervision. Chin this! ”

Ordered Oro Dai and Bao Tai to lead 5,000 elite cavalry to help supervise Spanish prisoners of war? Yinzhen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, where is this assistance? Kangxi is going to take over the Spanish prisoners of war completely! Is this not believing in the achievements of the Navy, or is it not reassuring yourself? No wonder Oro Dai and Bao Tai are so arrogant, this is to give themselves and the officials in Tianjin a disadvantage.

However, this military exercise also required the Spaniards to practice the formation of the warfleet, perform a salvo of naval guns, and a phalanx of muskets, and if Oro Dai and Baotai were allowed to take over the past, these 5,000 elite horsemen would not disturb the Spanish prisoners of war and complain, and in this way, they would certainly sabotage the military exercise plan they had prepared, and perhaps they would also sabotage the plan to conquer Japan.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help frowning slightly, and after mechanically kowtowing to everyone to thank him, he got up, he dusted off his body casually, and wondered how to deal with this sudden change.

Zhao Hongxie, the governor of Zhili, Du Chengsi, the chief military officer of Tianjin, and other officials did not dare to dust in front of Yinzhen, all of them were full of evil fire, seeing that Yinzhen did not pay attention to Oro Dai and Baotai, they were also silent, and did not dare to come forward to salute, the gods fought, and they were muddy on the soles of their feet, but they couldn't afford it.

Seeing that Yinzhen was a little distracted, Oro Dai was secretly proud in his heart, but, according to the rules, he had to ask Yinzhen for peace, seeing Yinzhen with a wooden face, he was not afraid, and stepped forward and hastily slapped a thousand children, and said: "Slave Oro Dai asks for peace for the fourteenth master." With that, he stood up.

Although Prince Heshuoyu Baotai is Yinzhen's cousin and the same prince's title, Yinzhen is the prince, and he must also ask for peace, so he also followed by Da Qian'er to ask for peace.

After the two of them finished saluting, Yinzhen nodded slightly, and said lightly: "The two of you have worked hard all the way. ”

Seeing this situation, Zhao Hongxie, Du Chengsi and others did not dare to slack off, and were busy asking for peace to Oro Dai and Baotai.

After the ceremony, Oro Dai smiled at Yinzhen and said: "Fourteenth master, the errand assigned by the emperor, the servants dare not ignore it, and rush all the way, this Spanish prisoner of war, I don't know when it will be convenient to hand over?" Please also ask the Fourteenth Master to make it clear. ”

"Handover?" The corners of Yinzhen's mouth hooked, and he laughed: "Didn't you hear the holy decree clearly?" You are assisting, just in time, in order to better supervise the Spanish prisoners of war, a large amount of timber is needed to build a fence, and you have five thousand men, one of whom is going to cut down a tree, and this king is in a hurry to use it. ”

Zhao Hongxie, Du Chengsi and other Tianjin officials all laughed secretly in their stomachs, the fourteenth master's trick is too damaging, and five thousand trees in Tianjin are not enough in three months.

Cutting down trees? Oro Dai and Baotai were also shocked when they heard it, but Kangxi clearly explained to the two of them that they wanted to implement the supervision of the Spanish prisoners, and these 5,000 trees, I am afraid that Kangxi would not be able to cut them down enough when he arrived in Tianjin.

Yinzhen is obviously making things difficult for him, thinking of this, Oro Dai gritted his teeth and said: "Fourteenth master, the emperor's holy decree, you dare to disobey the yang and the yin?" ..., "Presumptuous! Yinzhen shouted violently, startling everyone.

Yinzhen single-handedly designated Oro Dai, changed color, and said: "Oro Dai, as the minister of the guard, does not abide by the way of the ministers, and maliciously provokes the relatives of the heavenly family. ”

"Wow." A group of guards who had been holding back the fire in their stomachs for a long time next to them, and as soon as they heard the order, they responded with a bang.

"Give this king twenty slaps. It is forbidden to wait for the emperor to be sent by the emperor in the 'Nanhai No. 1'. Yinzhen ordered word by word.

"You dare!" Oro Dai didn't expect Yinzhen to be so bold that he dared to turn his face on the spot, and he also made a big charge for himself, and immediately raised his hand to greet his personal guards, and at the same time wanted to retreat.

Gan Hongjun, a third-class guard from a reckless background, listened to Yinzhen's order, "Come here." As soon as Yinzhen's voice fell, he stepped forward like a ghost, and he did not allow Oro Dai to have a chance to fight back.

When the guards of Oro Dai saw that their master was captured, they were all anxious, and they did not dare to draw their knives, so they immediately rushed up, trying to snatch Oro Dai back, but they were thrown out one by one by Gan Hongjun like butterflies wearing flowers.

Prince Heshuoyu Baotai had long been dumbfounded on the side, seeing that the situation was chaotic, he just wanted to step away and run away, when he heard Yinzhen say in a deep voice: "Cousin, it's better not to move." ”

Bao Tai glanced at the middle-aged guard who didn't look amazing, but was as fast as a ghost, and his feet seemed to have roots, and he couldn't move a single step.

A group of guards stood up and looked at each other, hesitating whether to step forward again, opposite was the current fourteen princes, much more noble than their master, and the guards were too evil, like falling straw, and they were easily thrown out with one hand.

Oro Dai, who was pressed to the ground, struggled and scolded: "The cavalry camp is a dead man? It's all for Lao Tzu" was only half of what he said, and his mouth was already covered.

Yinzhen said without hesitation: "What are you waiting for?" Palm! ”

A group of guards have experienced the mouth of the governor of Liangjiang before, those who have not experienced it, have also heard of it, and now they are just replaced by the ministers of the guards, there is nothing to be afraid of, this is a rare qualification, no longer hesitate at the moment, one by one they stepped forward and "crackled" and pulled away
