Ming Dynasty Road

Chapter 31

In the Military Aircraft Office of the Shengjing Imperial Palace, several military ministers who were on duty overnight at the Military Aircraft Office were drinking fragrant tea. Several military officers ran in panting while holding their sabers. After shaking the horseshoe sleeves on their sleeves, they fell to their knees and said: "Report, Lord Fan Wencheng, Minister of Political Affairs, has been assassinated!

When several military ministers heard the news, they were shocked into a cold sweat. Fan Wencheng is the most respected civil servant by the emperor today. The military officials did not dare to neglect, so they quickly picked up the hats on the table and put them on their heads, while ordering several military officers to go Notify the admiral of the nine gates to seal the city gate, while hurriedly reporting the matter to Huang Taiji.

In the nine-door Admiral's Mansion, a few Goshhas did not dare to neglect the report from the Military Aircraft Department, and rushed into the backyard of the Admiral's Mansion to report the letter. Geshha knocked on the door of the Admiral's bedroom, but there was no response after knocking for a long time. Last night, the admiral came back after drinking the flowers and wine. It stands to reason that the admiral should get up and have breakfast at this time. The alert Ghoshha seemed to have noticed something strange, and lifted his foot like kicking the bedroom door. I saw the admiral Lying on the bed, with a dagger stuck in his body, there are several hideous characters written in blood on the wall, "Manchu Tartars, everyone can kill them"

Admiral Nine Gates is an important official in charge of public security in Shengjing. This position has always been held by a bannerman. The current admiral is a bannerman with a red flag. He has worked in this position for some years and killed many Han people. He was originally a man of Manchuria. Batulu in the Qing Dynasty was very vigilant and skilled in martial arts. He even put a short knife under his pillow when he slept, and the defense of the admiral's mansion was very strict. In the admiral's mansion, it was simply creepy.

At the same time, when Yin Shengjing woke up, he suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood in the bedroom. He propped up his fat body and saw a lump of blood and flesh beside his pillow, and he was frightened immediately. He yelled for help, and the family servant who lived at home rushed over after hearing the news, and found that the bloody thing on the bed was the banner man's concubine that Fu Yin had just married a few days ago. Rice paper, with a line written in blood on it: "You are a lackey of the Qing Dynasty, and she will be your fate."

Mr. Fu Yin is a Han minister, because he often helped Man Qing oppress the Han people, so Man Qing felt that he was very loyal, so he made an exception and gave him a concubine from a bannerman. At this time, he saw the body of his concubine with a different head , was already so frightened that his whole body was sore and limp, and his whole body was covered in white sweat.

Zhang Shun, the chief soldier of the green battalion, got up from his clothes in the brothel contentedly. Zhang Shun was in his 30s this year. He was in the prime of his life. Last night, he drank flowers and wine in the brothel. After drinking too much, he slept in the brothel. The income of the soldiers is not too much, but Zhang Shun is an exception, because Zhang Shun's flattering skills are really first-class, he has been in favor of the Manchus, followed the Manchus to bully the common people everywhere, and was scolded by the people of Shengjing. how many times.

After Zhang Shun got up, the first thing he did was to call out to the turtle slave who was waiting outside, because his body had been exhausted from the tossing and tossing all night last night. The tortoise slave waiting outside never came in, Zhang Shun scolded his mother angrily, so anxious that Zhang Shun put on his clothes and went to see it himself.

I saw the shadow of the tortoise slave outside, and the empty corridor was very quiet. Zhang Shun suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right. Just as he was about to turn around and go into the room to get a weapon, a sharp dagger was already placed on Zhang Shun's neck. His skin felt the coldness of the dagger.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Shun frowned and asked.

A man in a white robe said indifferently: "Go in, don't shout, or your head will be moved."

"Who are you? Do you know who I am?" Zhang Shun felt dizzy at this moment, as if the whole world had collapsed. As the chief soldier of the Green Battalion, there was no one in Shengjing except the Bannermen. Dare to touch him, is this person... ?Thinking of this picture of Shun suddenly feeling dizzy, he didn't dare to say any more, turned around quietly and entered the house, and closed the door behind him.

After a while, the man in white robe left the brothel, and Zhang Shun sat on the stool in the house, with tears in his eyes, he said: "This... this is a decapitation, what should I do? "

In the Eight Banners camp in Xicheng, the Huotoujun who is in charge of cooking is humming a tune while making breakfast quickly. This Huotoujun has been cooking in the army for five years. The porridge was enough for thousands of people to eat. After a while, he heard the sound of the pot boiling. With his five years of experience, he knew that the porridge was ready.

The order to serve meals sounded instantly at the Eight Banners Camp in Xicheng. Thousands of Eight Banners soldiers lined up orderly with bowls to serve porridge and tortillas. They hadn’t eaten tortillas for a long time, and all of them immediately started gobbling up. Not long after eating, they screamed in pain, and a few soldiers who hadn't had time to eat came to help them, but before they could call for the military doctor, the soldiers who had eaten the porridge rolled their eyes and died.

The rest of the soldiers did not dare to be negligent and did not dare to eat anything. An officer hurriedly said: "Hurry up and tell everyone not to eat, send someone to search for the source of the poison, and report this matter to the Military Aircraft Department immediately." !” All of a sudden, the entire Xicheng camp was in chaos.

In the main hall of Shengjing, Huang Taiji was furious: "They are all trash! What use are you for? So many things happened overnight in Shengjing, Fan Wencheng was hijacked in Shengjing, and the nine admirals were all in the admiral's mansion." Being killed silently, is it not even my safety can be guaranteed? Didn’t it mean that the Ming Dynasty spies who sneaked into Shengjing were all captured? How do you explain it?” As soon as he went to the court today, Huang Taiji said one after another After receiving the sad news that such a bad thing can happen in Shengjing, how could Huang Taiji not be annoyed, all the ministers in the hall were kneeling on the ground, and no one dared to raise their heads.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Just as Huang Taiji was furious, a man in gorgeous clothes walked into the hall and said with a calm inquiry.

"Fourteenth brother, this bunch of trash let Ming army spies sneak into Shengjing. Can I not be angry? Could it be that I was also killed in this palace?" Huang Taiji saw Dorgon appearing in the palace. In the main hall, they thought that Dorgon was here to watch his own good show, and his words had a bit of gunpowder.

"Actually, we can't blame them all. Shengjing is well-connected in all directions. The inspection of the city gates takes time, and it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of manpower. Moreover, I received news from the Ming Dynasty that this time it was the person who captured the fifteenth brother. What the hell." Dorgon didn't pay attention to Huang Taiji's aggressive words, but spoke calmly, until his voice became vicious when he said about Zhao Yi.

"Oh, it's the Zhao Yi who captured the fifteenth brother and attacked Songshan?" Huang Taiji's face changed from angry to serious: "So it's him? If I catch him, I will kill him to pieces! That's right, fourteen Brother, when did you arrange manpower for the Ming Dynasty? Why didn't I know?" Huang Taiji asked, turning the subject.

"This... I didn't arrange people to go to the Ming court, but the people over there took the initiative to contact me." Dorgon heard Huang Taiji's question, suddenly felt that he had said something wrong, and quickly explained.

"Okay, no need to explain, what countermeasures do you have?"

"Chendi thinks that Zhao Yi has done so many things this time, it must be to rescue their brothers who were arrested, so I think we can come to catch turtles in a urn, so that they can come in, but they can't get out. The boy stays in Shengjing, and only by getting rid of this person can the hatred in my heart be relieved." Dorgon replied.

"Very good, you go down and do it. I will leave this matter to you. All the troops in Beijing will be entrusted to you. You must kill them all." Huang Taiji said through gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will leave it to my younger brother to handle it, and then my younger brother will go to arrange it first." After Dorgon saluted, he turned and left the hall.

"You slaves also step down, I'm tired, let's go back." The ministers kneeling below heard these words, as if they were relieved, bowed their heads one by one, and quickly kowtowed to thank, Huang Taiji was close to the eunuch Under the guidance of the leader, he turned and walked towards the harem.

Sitting on the dragon, Huang Taiji's heart was overwhelmed, thinking about the conversation with Dorgon in the hall just now, why Dorgon was connected with the Ming Dynasty, and this matter was hidden from me, could he be blaming me for not saving ten people? Fifth brother, is he trying to turn against me by contacting the Ming Dynasty himself?Thinking of this, Huang Taiji felt even more irritable, and unknowingly, blood flowed from his nose again. Seeing His Majesty's nosebleed again, the personal eunuch hurriedly took out a handkerchief and gave Huang Taiji a simple stop of the bleeding, and then ordered Long Lu to rush to the imperial hospital. Dust away.

In the west city of Shengjing, in an alley, Zhao Yi and a group of people are gathering here. This alley is very remote. It is the back street of a big family. It is a place for taking out garbage. Usually, few people come here. Zhao Yi Yi and a group of people are resting here.

Zhou Tong said with a smile: "It's really enjoyable. What we did last night was really satisfying. I'm afraid the Tartar Emperor in Shengjing is about to die of anger at this time."

"Yeah, haha, thanks to Mr. Zhao, and you didn't see that Zhang Shun's expression today, I said his old lady was arrested by me, if I don't follow what I said, go to the water that was sent to the Eight Banners camp After taking the medicine, he slaughtered his old mother, but I didn’t expect this traitor to be a filial son, and he really did what I said.” Feng Er also interjected to show off that it turned out that the person who went to Zhang Shun to scare him in the morning was Feng Er Feng Er didn't do anything to Zhang Shun's old lady, but stole a sachet that Zhang Shun's old lady carried with her. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun believed it was true, and really thought that Feng Er had hijacked his mother, so he sent The poison was poured into the water delivery truck of the Eight Banners camp in the west of the city, and the scene of the Eight Banners soldiers in the camp in the west of the city was poisoned collectively.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, Zhao Yi said in a low voice: "Okay, let's all rest for a while, we will fight when it gets dark, there are only a few hundred people in the camp in the west of the city, and we will leave after we rescue the captured brother at night." , and the rest of the brothers who have been placed in the Green Camp will stay in Shengjing to collect information." After hearing Zhao Yi's words, everyone quickly silenced, and one by one, they found a clean place and began to close their eyes and rest their minds.
