Chapter 447: Strange Encounters on the Road

Li Xin changed his words, turned around and sat back in his chair, and said to Mi Yan: "A more dangerous mission is about to begin, are you afraid?" ”

"There is no turning back from the bow, at such a time, can you still tolerate Mi Yan to retreat?"

Mi Yan replied almost word by word, his eyes full of determination.

"Shengjing is no better than going to Dolgon's camp. We all know Dolgon's character, so we can naturally go prepared, but Shengjing is a mixed bag of fish and dragons in the Tartar Nest, and if you don't have a little guts, you really can't do it! Accidents can happen at any time! ”

"I'm afraid that Dolgon's scheming will cause more trouble."

"You just go, Ben Shuai will drag Dolgon in Jinzhou and buy you time."

Li Xin and Mi Yan conspired again for half the night before they dispersed, and Mi Yan did not go back to rest, but led a team of more than a dozen cavalry retinues out of the city from the north gate of Jinzhou and went all the way north.

Mi Yan and his entourage rushed to Shengjing, one person and three horses, and they did not stop their horses along the way, racing against time, picking up sparsely populated places, but bypassing many fortresses of the Qing army. This also surprised Mi Yan, as they had galloped into the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for nearly a hundred miles, and they did not encounter the Qing army that came out to intercept them, which was extremely surprising.

Is it the incompetence of the Qing army or is the dozens of horses in their line too powerful? Obviously, the answer cannot be the former, so it can only prove one point, the Qing army's attack on Shanhaiguan this time is indeed a nest, and the affairs of Shengjing also involve local defense.

Such a great opportunity is in front of you, but unfortunately the Ming court does not have the extra strength to take advantage of the void, while sighing, I can't help but admire the general's magic workmanship, can have such a strange plan, but I don't know if this adventure God will favor him Mi Yan?

When they entered the territory of Haizhou, they were already able to encounter Tartar rangers from time to time, and Mi Yan realized that a large group of men and horses would soon come to capture them, but he did not plan to escape, because he was ready to be captured. That is to say, after encountering the Tartars, he will rush to Shengjing as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty.

Sure enough, nearly five hundred cavalry soon appeared in front of them, and they were outflanked in two directions. Mi Yan was surprisingly calm at this time, and resolutely ordered: "Raise the flag, keep the speed, don't panic!" ”

Coincidentally, the cavalry team that surrounded Mi Yan and his party belonged to the Han military banner, and almost all of them were Han Chinese, so communication was not a problem. Although Mi Yan deliberately selected a lot of soldiers who knew Manchu when he came, their Manchu language was not very bright, and if there was a misunderstanding due to poor communication, it would be really worthless.

With Mi Yan's order, the Ming Dynasty hunted in the wind. Of course, the Han army banners composed of these Liaodong Han people are all local military farmers who have never seen the world, and they don't know the difference between these banners at all, only that they have encountered the Ming army, and these people must be arrested and eliminated according to their former residences. He did not have the slightest sense of stopping the attack, but took out his horse bows on his horses, preparing to shoot at a closer distance.

Seeing that the shape shì bitmap was tired, Mi Yan shouted loudly, and the situation eased.

"I am the envoy of the Son of Heaven......"

I don't know if it was Miyan's words that worked, or if they were just scaring people, but they stopped at a critical moment anyway. The man at the head has a shaved iron green brain, a tail the thickness of a ruler and long chopsticks on the back of his head, and a standard Tartar appearance.

"You say that you are an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and you can't just rely on one mouth, do you have any credentials?"

This big bald head with a rat tail is obviously the head of this group of Tartar cavalry, and he actually knows how to ask for the credentials of the envoys, and Zhu Youzhen ordered Li Xin to go to negotiate peace with the Manchus, but he brought enough things to the cow eggs and Shi Datuo who passed the decree, and the documents and letters needed were not bad. Although the Ming Dynasty never recognized the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this time the preparations for peace talks were really prepared by the standards of the state.

The only problem is that Li Xin's status as a martial artist is really low, but it can be regarded as a slight psychological advantage for the Ming Dynasty, and it is just self-deception.

Mi Yan didn't intend to hand over the seal letter credentials happily, and sneered proudly: "I am a scholar of the six departments of the Daming Han Forestry Academy, how can I give the seal letter to others at will?" What is your position and title in the Qing court? Get your name in! ”

The bald man with the money rat tail was stunned, and he hesitated a little, but he still replied: "I am Zhang Jing Zhang Baniu of Niu Press, and I am in charge of five hundred armor soldiers under my command, and I am also a general manager in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

It seems that in the eyes of this bald man with a rat tail, the general of the Ming Dynasty is already a great official. Mi Yan almost laughed, and replied directly: "The general wants to check the seal of the envoy, and go and find your high-ranking officials to hand over to the envoy!" ”

Zhang Baniu scratched his head, let him get on the horse and kill without saying a word, he would cut with a knife, but when dealing with officials, he even turned his tongue, if he said that the biggest official in this realm is probably the county magistrate of Haizhou. Fortunately, the county magistrate of Haizhou is a Han who has just taken office, and he is always better to serve than those Manchurian masters.

"Then you can only find the Haizhou County Order to be accommodating......"

Mi Yan couldn't help laughing, this second tartar named Zhang Baniu is also really funny, his current identity is an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, is he using a county order to be accommodating?

"Okay, then lead the way, go to your county order, and be accommodating......"

Haizhou is less than 100 miles away from Shengjing of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as long as you can meet the Haizhou County Order smoothly and obtain the official guidance of the Manchu Dynasty, it is also feasible to arrive in Shengjing today.

Mi Yan and his entourage followed this Zhang Baniu to Haizhou, and through the observation along the way, he found that this Ertar named Zhang Baniu seemed to have some prestige in this generation, and everywhere he went, he rushed to meet and make a thousand. No wonder this guy mentioned that he was equivalent to Da Ming, and there was always irrepressible pride on his face.

After making trouble for a long time, he was not proud of the general of the Ming Dynasty, but Zhang Jing of the Manchu Dynasty.

Haizhou City was originally the size of a state capital when it was in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but now, Mi Yan smacked his lips and saw a dilapidated and desolate place in front of him, and no one picked up the grass even growing on the rammed earth city wall. It seems that the Manchu court did not attach much importance to city defense, and perhaps the only thing that was important was cavalry shooting.

When Mi Yan was full of worries, Zhang Baniu entered Haizhou City, and came out again a moment later. Mi Yan's heart was cold, could it be that the county order refused to come to see him, or he was killed......

But he shouted coldly, which startled him: "Tong Wenmo, the magistrate of Haizhou, is here, which one is the envoy of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Mi Yan noticed that Zhang Baniu was followed by a thin old man, and that angry shout came from this person's mouth. Curious, he looked up and down, but saw that the old man was wearing a manchu official uniform with a collar of stone blue, and his little head was buttoned with an official hat like a rice bucket, covered with a red velvet rope, and the top was a plain gold bead, and a feather was inserted in the bead and dragged back with the money rat tail.

The official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty were strangely shaped, even the hats were so ridiculous, and there was actually an unknown chicken feather inserted in it, which was really an uncivilized table. Mi Yan sneered, but his movements were not hindered at all, and he dismounted and saluted.

"The envoy of the Ming Dynasty, the six branches of the Hanlin Academy, Ji Shi Miyan, on behalf of the Great Son of Tomorrow, met with the Great Khan of the Qing State!"

Mi Yan carefully considered the words and said the appropriate words, wanting to quickly ask this strange old man to give him a diploma of customs clearance in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the old man knelt down involuntarily like a tendon in his stomach, startled Zhang Baniu beside him, and quickly dragged him up.

"County master, county master, are you okay?"

The thin Tong Jiamo stretched out his right hand like a dead tree branch to support Zhang Baniu, and then raised his left hand and touched his old face inadvertently. Mi Yan was surprised to find that there seemed to be a glimmer of crystal light in the old man's dry old eyes. Of course, this can also be a hallucination!

Tong Jiamo laughed at himself, "Alas, when you are old, you are old, and a handful of old bones will be unbearable for a long time, if it weren't for the weight of Dorobelle, it wouldn't be old...... Look, what are you talking about? Why did the envoys of the Ming Court go to Shengjing? ”

As soon as the old man finished asking, he patted his head again and said, "Look, it's useless to say that it's old and useless, it's inconvenient to talk outside, let's go and go into the city!" Then he turned his head to look at the eight cows: "Don't go, there will be a place for Labor Zhangjing in a while!" ”

Zhang Baniu was flattered, his Zhang Jing is just putting gold on his face, not to mention comparing with those Zhang Jing who are full of eight banners and eight banners, even if he is compared with the Han army flag, it is no longer on the same level. The old man of the dignified county actually shouted one by one, and suddenly it was like a cloud driving through the fog, fluttering.

Hurriedly pretending to be the left and right hands rolled up their sleeves twice in a row, and said a thousand times: "Huh! ”

Mi Yan looked at the vulgar etiquette of the Tartar with a lot of trouble, and there was a wave of slander in his heart, but he was more worried about going to Shengjing.

Until he entered the county hall, only he and the county magistrate Tong Jiamo were left in the hall of Nuoda, until Tong Jiamo said something, Mi Yan only felt that he had heard it wrong, which was really unbelievable.

"I haven't heard the local sound for many years, but today I saw the heavens to get what I wanted, and I ...... fast"

The voice was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted to Mi Yan's ears, listening to the old man's accent is really a bit Taiyuan, this remark is not like what a Manchu courtier should say, but like a courtier of the Ming Dynasty. However, Tong Jiamo's next words made Mi Yan almost stunned.

"If the angel doesn't want to lose his life, he must not go to Shengjing with such fanfare!"

"Why did the Tong County Order say this?" Mi Yan suppressed the surprise in her heart and asked as if nothing happened.

Tong Jiamo swept away the old state of Long Zhong before, and his dry old eyes actually burst out with a scorching light.

"On this road from Haizhou to Shengjing, not a single soldier of the Ming Dynasty will be allowed to pass!"
