Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 651
The Department of Cleaning Up Officials for Hosts and Guests is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, and it specializes in the management of tribute and foreign affairs. They used to have some things to do, but in the past few years, they have basically become Qingshui Yamen.

This time when the Qing envoy came to the north, several elders still paid enough attention to it. The host and guest doctor was named Qian Bingdeng, who was from Tongcheng, Southern Zhili, so he rolled up his sleeves and went to battle in person.

The envoy of the Qing Dynasty approved it, and the official ship of the host and guest division led them into the Pearl River. As soon as they entered the mouth of the Pearl River, three huge three-masted warships came through the waves, and a sun and moon flag with a blue background fluttered in the wind, marking the with their identities.

This is a warship of the navy of the Ming army. Seeing this, Feng Quan couldn't help showing horror in his eyes.

This warship is one size bigger than the largest blessing ship of the Qing army. After all, Feng Quan has been a high-ranking official in Daming for many years. He said to the left and right, "There were reports from the coast that mentioned this Such a red barbarian warship, unexpectedly, the Ming army started imitating it."

Three warships passed by the Qing envoy's boat like a fortress. Lu Gong looked up, as if standing under the city, but when he heard that it belonged to Hongyi, his face instantly showed contempt, "Amazing tricks Coincidentally, Nanming actually learns from the barbarians, he must be exhausted."

Feng Quan looked at it, but said sternly: "The cannon in red is an imitation cast of Hongyi. Changyin, look at this warship. There are three layers of artillery, and there are 35 cannons on one side. You must not Peep."

Seeing this, Lu Gong didn't take it seriously, "I don't agree with what the cabinet said. The Ming Dynasty perished because of the casting of cannons and strange skills. How much did it cost to cast cannons and guns since Chongzhen? In the end it worked. The people in our court are less than one-tenth of the Ming Dynasty, but we can rule the world, why? It’s not because of the unparalleled riding and shooting, and the soldiers and horses are strong. The Ming people rely on these strange skills, and they are really ignoring the basics and chasing the bottom. thing."

As the No. [-] scholar of Man Qing, Lu Gong is very grateful to Man Qing, and he despises the Ming Dynasty that lost most of the country from the bottom of his heart.

These three warships were newly built by Wang Yan. He deliberately pulled them out to show off, but he didn't want to be ridiculed for failing to deter the number one scholar of the Qing Dynasty.

Feng Quan listened to Lu Gong's words, to put it mildly, this number one scholar was very conceited, he couldn't listen to other people's words, to put it harshly, even if he was stupid and stubborn, he stopped talking.

Not long after, the clearing ship approached the pier and landed from the outskirts of the city. There were many tall warehouses around the pier, and teams of pier coolies shuttled between the warehouses. Looking down from the sky, they were loading and unloading the goods on the ship in an orderly manner like ants. Tea and porcelain are transported out, and rice and spices are transported in. It is very busy.

After leaving the wharf, the Qing mission followed the official road to Guangjing City. The outline of the city in the distance was the same as that of the Central Plains. The fields were full of straw piles, which showed that this year's harvest must be good.

Children can be seen playing in the fields from time to time, and the sound of reading can be heard from time to time in the village, which is peaceful.

Before Feng Quan had time to sigh, he suddenly felt a chill on his face. He reached out to touch it, but his face was smeared with spit.

It turned out that there were people coming and going on the road from time to time. Seeing them covered in clothes and hats, with a braid behind them, they glared angrily. An old woman spit directly, hitting Feng Quan on the face.

This matter is a bit embarrassing. The Daqing Pavilion of the Tang Party has been confused. His personal honor and disgrace are minor, and the Qing Dynasty's humiliation is a major one. Shen Nengqu, the Qing Dynasty was humiliated, and Dorgon couldn't see it, and he didn't mention that no one knew. In the enemy camp, life is still important.

Feng Quan quickly wiped it clean with his sleeve, but Lu Gong was furious. He couldn't bear it, and hurriedly asked the officials sent by the host and guest department to severely punish the troublemaker, but the little officials were not active, and made it clear that they didn't want to take care of them. Pretend not to see.

Lu Gong jumped his feet angrily, they represent the Qing Dynasty, how could they be insulted like this, Feng Quan looked at the crowd on the road, feeling guilty, doesn't this Lu Gong know what happened to Huang Xiyin who was sent to the Longwu court before?
He pulled Lu Gong and walked forward in a desperate manner, but Lu Gong refused, but after a few stones hit him, he immediately calmed down and ran away.

The embassy came to the city gate in a hurry, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps. Feng Quan and others could only stop, and saw hundreds of brightly armored Ming soldiers running out. Disc helmet, with a saber on his waist, and a new-style Lumi gun with a slender body in his hand, he separated the crowd at the city gate. Two officials in green robes came out on horseback. The banners follow the officials.

In a blink of an eye, the officials and cavalry were lined up in front of the city gate. The officials were old and young, the cavalry had horse armor, and the knights had ghost faces. The army was neat and majestic. Feng Quan was shocked. Although the horse is flashy, it is definitely not a guard of honor for many scenes, but a strong soldier from the battlefield.

Feng Quan's vision is very accurate, these are the soldiers who were specially sent by Wang Yan to supervise the standard.

At this time, Lu Gong looked at the two Ming Dynasty officials in front of the team, and looked at them with a smile while riding on a horse, but he was very upset. The Ming Dynasty sent only two fifth-rank officials to greet them, which is too contemptuous of the Qing Dynasty. .

The little official who led the way introduced to the Qing embassy: "The older man with the white beard is Mr. Qian Bingdeng, the doctor of the chief guest of the Ming Dynasty, and the young one is Mr. Xia Wanchunxia, ​​the top scholar of the Dinghai Division of the Ming Dynasty, a member of the Ministry of War."

In the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Examinations were held at the end of the day, and in other years, they were called Enke. Xia Wanchun and Lu Gong were both Dinghai Enke's champions.

Lu Gong was angry at first, but he was even annoyed when he heard that the Ming Dynasty actually let the host and guests come to receive him. He actually treated the Qing Dynasty as a vassal. Did he really take himself seriously, thinking that the Qing Dynasty came to pay tribute?It really doesn't make sense.

Seeing that he was going to get angry, Feng Quan quickly pulled his clothes, and reminded him coldly: "Lu Zhuangyuan, don't forget the regent's explanation!"

After hearing this, Lu Gong calmed down for a while, but his eyes fell on Xia Wanchun again, seeing his tender face, he sneered in his heart, a child with a yellow mouth can also be the number one scholar, Nanming has no talent, let's see how I humiliate him.

At this time, after the two parties greeted each other, the envoys were escorted by the soldiers and entered the post house to rest. This could not be done without protection, as many people had already gathered along the street.

In the past few years, there have been a lot of anti-Qing dramas, and people hate Jianyi. Not long ago, some actors were pulled off the stage because they were too good and realistic, and they aroused the atmosphere of the people. Some even got a lawsuit.

People originally only heard about Jianyi's hatred in dramas and storytelling books, but because there was no Jianyi around them, they couldn't kill a few to serve the court, but now the opportunity was just right, and the streets were full of people.

The soldiers protected the envoy while they were swearing, and Feng Quan was also wronged. This is not an envoy, it is clearly a parade of sluts.

　Thank you for coming to give me a smile, Yuedong Woxin's reward, and thank you Chunshu, the monthly ticket for Ascension to Human Race.

　　It's three o'clock tomorrow, I'm going out to play today
