Chapter 187 Treaty Port
Chen Ji carved the teapot and teacup with his sword qi, ingested the water in the stream, boiled it with pure yang true qi, and poured a cup for everyone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Aobai's pupils shrank, and Chen Ji used his innate true qi to reach the realm of transcendence. As for himself, the use of true qi is still at the level of a martial arts master, and he uses innate true qi as a means of killing.
Chen Ji took a sip of boiling water and said with a smile: "The water here is good, it is not polluted, it is very sweet." You're welcome, everyone, drink it, boiled water quenches your thirst. ”
The taste of clear water is not tasted by ordinary people, but Chen Ji likes the taste of clear water very much. Fresh and natural, it not only quenches thirst, but also makes you feel good.
Chen Ji glanced at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and said, "Da Yu'er, you are right, I came all the way to Beijing from the south, of course, not to catch up with you. Well, to be honest, there doesn't seem to be any friendship between us. ”
"Ao Bai was very active during this time, and he wiped out three first-class martial arts sects in a row, and even the Purple Cloud Dao Master died under Ao Bai's fist. The entire martial arts world, when they heard the name of Aobai, was terrified, and the rumors were loud. Now the major martial arts sects, except for those who have defected to your Qing court, the rest are hiding. ”
With happiness in his eyes, Emperor Shunzhi said with a smile: "I, the Qing Dynasty, have the strength to bring the martial arts world to its knees. I only gave the martial arts world two paths, either completely surrender to me and obey my orders, or perish. ”
Ao Bai sneered: "The emperor is right. This force in the martial arts world, I must control it, otherwise, I don't mind destroying them. ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang didn't speak, but her expression said it all. She was in favor of Emperor Shunzhi's point of view. After all, she put a lot of thought into the ban on martial arts plans. Chen Ji wanted to make the Qing court give up with a few words, of course, it was impossible.
Zhang Mingyue smiled slightly: "That is to break the net?" You Manchu Qing Dynasty is not a big deal, you really want to force the entire martial arts world to be anxious, and the disciples of the major sects will make your court anxious." No matter how powerful Ao Bai is, he lacks skills. ”
Chen Ji smiled at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang: "I'm just worried about your attitude, you Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and occupied the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years. But you still keep fighting, showing your strength. You speak hard and are full of confidence, which is nothing more than relying on the strength of martial arts. However, Da Yu'er, don't forget that there is not only one great master in the world. ”
"Purple Cloud Dao Leader is dead, let's not talk about him. But the head of Ziyang Dao, the real person of the early Yuan, the old monk of Shaolin Temple, and the head of Longhu Mountain, they are all peerless masters, and they have stepped into the innate characters with one foot. When they will become great masters, we don't know, maybe three or five years, maybe three or five days. If they become great grandmasters, the pressure of the Great Qing Dynasty can be imagined. No matter how high the martial arts are, even if you are covered in iron, how many nails can you hit?"
The faces of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Emperor Shunzhi changed.
The land of the Central Plains, the heritage of the martial arts world, is not comparable to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Even if the Manchu court has robbed many secret methods of the inner family over the years, but has not formed its own system, they still have a long way to go if they want to catch up with those thousand-year-old martial arts sects.
Ao Bai can become a great master, it is luck against the sky, and he belongs to the nouveau riche. Those thousand-year-old sects can use their own cultural and martial arts inheritance to continuously cultivate peerless grandmasters, and if they are lucky, maybe they will be able to appear great grandmasters.
The probability of a great master appearing in a thousand-year-old sect is ten times, or even more than a hundred times that of the Manchu court. That's the real thing.
Shunzhi sneered: "Chen Ji, who are you scaring for? It is rare for a great grandmaster to appear in a hundred years, do you think that the few masters you said really have a chance to become a great grandmaster? I absolutely don't believe it." ”
Chen Ji shook his head and said: "Many things are often not transferred by people's will. The people of the Zhu family don't want the Ming Dynasty to perish, but in the end, the country is not in the hands of your Aixin Jueluo family. Fu Lin, you don't want the major martial arts sects to have great masters, maybe tomorrow they will give birth to a great master, and there is more than one. ”
"In troubled times, it was the most active time in the martial arts world, the pre-Qin era, a hundred schools of thought contended, the Three Kingdoms era, the princes competed for hegemony, the Sui and Tang dynasties, the green forest heroes came out one after another, and at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the major factions united with the rebel army to oppose the Yuan. During these periods, many great masters were born. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, that is, now, the great grandmaster already has my master, the White Crane Daoist, the Lord Aobai, plus this seat, the three great grandmasters. There is nothing strange about the birth of a few more great masters in the martial arts world. ”
What Chen Ji said, Emperor Shunzhi and Ao worshiped them, never thought about it. However, even if they didn't admit it, deep down, they felt that what Chen Ji said was very reasonable.
The high-level of the Manchu Qing Dynasty all liked to read the Three Kingdoms. Naturally, they will also look for some information about the Three Kingdoms period, and there are indeed a lot of great masters at that time. Those first-class generals are almost all great grandmasters.
Chen Ji said to Aobai: "Lord Aobai, you have to be careful. You have now made great contributions to the imperial court, and you have suppressed the entire martial arts world to the point that you are almost out of breath. In the future, martial arts masters will appear in major sects, and this deep hatred will be counted on your head. It is not impossible for the Qing Dynasty to push you out under pressure to calm the anger of the martial arts world. ”
Emperor Shunzhi shouted: "Chen Ji, you don't spew blood here and sow discord." Ao Bai is my Qing Dynasty Baturu, how can I push him out to calm the anger of the martial arts world?"
Although Ao Bai's face did not change, Chen Ji saw a trace of hesitation in the depths of his eyes.
Chen Ji said with a smile: "Don't be angry, everyone. You treat me like I'm talking nonsense. The Great Grandmaster is powerful, after all, he is not a real immortal. Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, Sun Jian, Li Yuanba, they are all peerless grandmasters under the supreme power, much stronger than Ao Bai and this seat, but they were still killed. Aobai, you and I seem to be invincible, but in fact, it is just an illusion, but there has not yet been a strong existence to contend with us, but you have to believe that such a strong person will appear sooner or later. ”
"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, Lord Aobai, the first condition of this seat is about the Great Grandmaster. The destructive power of the Great Grandmaster is too strong, and if he makes a random shot, he will be killed and injured countless times. The Grand Grandmaster recklessly attacked and assassinated the other party's important personnel, and everyone could not afford to lose. We might as well sign an agreement, until the moment of life and death, the Great Grandmaster can't take action easily. How are you?"
Ao Bai has just become a great master, and he can smoothly implement the martial arts ban plan and destroy those martial arts sects. At this time, Chen Ji asked the great master not to make a move, and the advantage of the Great Qing Dynasty would not be lost.
Zhang Mingyue wanted to speak, but Chen Ji kicked her lightly. At this time, silence can put considerable pressure on Da Yu'er and Emperor Shunzhi.
After half a burnt of incense, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang spoke: "Chen Ji, we can't agree to your condition. Ao Bai is the strongest man in my Qing Dynasty, and what other martial artists can't solve, of course, let him take action. ”
Chen Ji said: "Da Yu'er, if you let Ao Bai make a move, it is nothing more than murder." Okay, Ao Bai can kill, and the sword of this seat is also sharp. In the end, the blood flowed like a river, and there were countless casualties. In the end, maybe in the whole world, there are only two people left, Ao Bai and this seat. If you don't enter the congenital nature, you are an ant after all. Is this really what you want?"
Chen Ji stared at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang with a smile on his face.
Ao Bai's heart was pounding.
Don't look at Chen Ji smiling, in fact, he has a tiger in his heart, once he gets angry, it will be a change of color and the sky will collapse.
Chen Ji talks and laughs, he can kill.
Ao Bai locked the qi machine on Zhang Mingyue, as long as Chen Ji dared to make a move, the first person he killed would be Zhang Mingyue. If Chen Ji has any weaknesses, it is his wife Zhang Mingyue.
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang's mind was running fast, and Chen Ji's words were indeed threatening.
Ten years ago, in the Battle of Yangzhou, Chen Ji was able to kill tens of thousands of Qing warriors. Chen Ji is now a great grandmaster, a congenital strongman, and he is only stronger than Aobai, not weak, if he really tears his face, both sides have nothing to play.
The rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then the complete domination of the Ming Dynasty, after the efforts of Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, and Emperor Shunzhi, three generations of people, there is the current situation.
Beads of sweat the size of beans left on Da Yu'er's cheeks. The pressure that Chen Ji gave her was really great.
Da Yu'er closed her eyes, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said, "Okay." Chen Ji you won, and the mourning family promised you. As long as it is not related to the life and death of the Qing Dynasty, Ao Bai will not take action easily. But you and the White Crane Dao Leader must also abide by this agreement, and you can't kill my martial arts master and local officials in the Qing Dynasty. ”
Emperor Shunzhi and Ao Bai both breathed a sigh of relief.
In the end, there was no talk or action.
If he really made a move, even if Ao Bai could kill Zhang Mingyue, Emperor Shunzhi knew that he and the Queen Mother would definitely not survive. Afterwards, Ao Bai frantically retaliated against the White Lotus Sect, causing the White Lotus Sect's jurisdiction to collapse in chaos, but it had nothing to do with him, because his Shunzhi was already a dead man.
Subsequently, Emperor Shunzhi felt quite humiliated, and he was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the master of the Qing Empire, but he was threatened by Chen Ji, the devil. It's really embarrassing. However, he couldn't do anything but endure it, Chen Ji's power was strong, and his martial arts were so strong that he even had to be afraid of three points.
Chen Ji smiled and said, "Okay." Da Yuer, you deserve to be a heroine among women, that is, you know the general situation. Your decision not only saved the White Lotus Sect from chaos, but also saved the entire administrative system of the Qing Dynasty. It's a win-win situation, not a win-win situation. On the first question, we agreed. So, let's move on to the second question. ”
Shunzhi's face was a little unsightly: "There is a second question?"
Chen Ji nodded and said, "Of course." If the second issue cannot be resolved today, I will not be able to return to the south. ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said: "Chen Ji, how many questions do you have to discuss, let's say it all at once." ”
"Queen Mother, don't be nervous. The second question is the last one we have discussed. Chen Ji said with a smile, "The blockade of the eastern coast by the Qing Dynasty is getting tighter and tighter. I have heard that last month, the Qing Dynasty officially promulgated a decree forbidding the sea, and that as long as the people dared to go to the sea, they would be killed. What did the fishermen eat after the sea was banned. Your Majesty, Queen Mother, do you say yes? ”
Shunzhi said angrily: "Chen Ji, the forbidden sea is the internal affair of my Great Qing Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with your White Lotus Sect, what qualifications do you have to meddle?"
Chen Ji shook his hand and said, "This seat has no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty. As you all know, the White Lotus Sect, which is under the leadership of this seat, started by doing business. We do business not only with Japan, but also with foreign devils in Europe, and now, we want to do business with the Qing Dynasty. ”
Emperor Shunzhi, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and Ao Bai were all stunned, why did Chen Ji get involved in business again?
Chen Ji's thinking was too out-of-the-box, which made them a little unable to keep up.
Zhang Mingyue smiled, she knew a little about Chen Ji's plan, but she didn't know how to implement it.
John Tang was an official in the Qing Dynasty, and with Smith, the bishop of the Holy See, Da Yu'er and Emperor Shunzhi were not ignorant of European affairs. Smith said that the White Lotus did business with the East India Company and made a lot of money.
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang asked, "Chen Ji, do you really just want to do business with my Daqing?"
Chen Ji said: "Of course. Da Yu'er, you must know that although we are hostile, my Chen Ji's words still count. Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Thousands of miles for officials, only for money. Doing business with Daqing can make money, why don't I do it. ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said, "What do you want to do?"
Chen Ji said: "To do business, you need a place. Guangzhou is good. It is better to open Guangzhou as a treaty port in the Qing Dynasty, so that merchants from all over the world can come to Guangzhou to do business freely. In this way, the Qing Dynasty could not only sell goods and earn silver, but also obtain rich taxes, killing two birds with one stone. The Qing Dynasty allocated a place for the White Lotus Sect in Guangzhou, and the area did not need to be too large, just three miles of length and width. With such a place, I, the White Lotus Sect, can build warehouses and workshops. ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Emperor Shunzhi both felt that Chen Ji's request was not too much, and it was reasonable to divide a small place for the White Lotus Sect to release goods. But only Chen Ji himself knew that once there was this "concession", the White Lotus Sect would be able to operate openly in the Manchu region.
Emperor Shunzhi asked, "Chen Ji, don't you have any other requirements?"
Chen Ji shook his head and said, "No." As long as the merchants of the Great Qing Dynasty did business with the White Lotus Sect, it was fair and just. ”
Emperor Shunzhi glanced at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang nodded.
Emperor Shunzhi said: "Chen Ji, I agreed to your second condition. However, I also hope that your White Lotus Sect will be equally fair and just in doing business. ”
Chen Ji glanced at Zhang Mingyue, and Zhang Mingyue hurriedly took out two written agreements and brushes.
Chen Ji said: "The contract has been written. As long as the emperor and the queen mother sign it, our negotiations will be considered successful. ”
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang sneered: "Chen Ji, you really worked hard, and even the contract was written." ”
After the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Emperor Shunzhi signed, she took one copy, and the other one was put away by Chen Ji and asked Zhang Mingyue to put it away.
Chen Ji stood up, hugged his fists and said, "Three, our husband and wife will leave." By the way, by the way, the former crown prince Zhu Cihong has already planned to split up with the White Lotus Sect, and he will soon receive Zheng Sen's sailors and form a force to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. In the future, if Zhu Cihong does anything that harms the interests of the Qing Dynasty, I hope that Da Yu'er, you will not spill your anger on my White Lotus Sect, let alone affect the 'friendly' relationship between the White Lotus Sect and the Qing Dynasty. Haha......"
Chen Ji left with Zhang Mingyue, and Emperor Shunzhi gritted his teeth and said: "Zhu Cihong, Zheng Sen, the Ming Dynasty is dead, and I am afraid that you will not succeed." Ao Bai, after you go back, kill Zheng Zhilong!"
Since Zheng Chenggong did not surrender, Zheng Zhilong had no value.
