Chapter 90: The Smoke House in Beijing
When Tan Yi heard Yuan Zongdi's voice, he was so frightened that his pants were wet and he almost went into shock. He knew he couldn't dodge, so he had to look up.
Yuan Zongdi and Tan Yi are "old acquaintances", four years ago, the Ming Sichuan Governor and the Prince Taibao Wen Anzhi led Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi, and Tan Wen to attack Yucheng together. Just when the Ming army was about to win, Tan Yi suddenly rebelled, killed his superior, Tan Wen, Marquis of Fuling, burned the food of the Ming army, and attacked the Ming army, resulting in a crushing defeat for the Ming army. Yongli heard the news of the fiasco in the battle of Yucheng, so he fled to Burma, and Wen Anzhi died depressed because of the fiasco.
Today, the sky has eyes, Tan Yi, the culprit who caused the Ming army to be defeated and Yongli Nan Hunt Burma fell into the hands of Yuan Zongdi, what good end can it be?
A few of the soldiers who followed Yuan Zong first came up, all of them were soldiers of the old camp, a few years ago the Ming army was defeated in the Battle of Yucheng, they escaped by luck, today I heard that the culprit Tan Yi was caught, everyone surrounded Tan Yi, surrounded Tan Yi, as if surrounded by a rare and exotic beast, for fear that he would run away.
Knowing that he was going to die, Tan Yi still had a glimmer of hope and wanted to struggle: "General Yuan, the good birds choose the wood to rest, and the virtuous ministers choose the master to do things, the Ming Dynasty is already crumbling, and the Qing Dynasty will dominate the world just around the corner!" You still know the times as a handsome! As long as you surrender and pass, your official position will remain the same, and your title will not change! Even if you are demoted and demoted from a duke to a marquis, even if you are an earl or a son, being a viscount of the Qing Dynasty is better than the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, right? General Yuan, I advise you to think about it! It's never too late to find out! ”
Yuan Zongdi slapped Tan Yi in the face: "Phew! You gou traitor who betrayed the Ming Dynasty! Do you still have the face to say that a good bird chooses a tree to rest? It was you who killed Master Wen and harmed the Son of Heaven to hunt in the south! Kill tens of thousands of my Ming soldiers! ”
Knowing that Yuan Zongdi would definitely not surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he would definitely die, Tan Yi turned his heart sideways and simply let it out, anyway, sooner or later it will be a death, it is better to scold: "Yuan Zongdi!" You're a rogue traitor! It's a traitor who betrayed the Ming Dynasty! Are you embarrassed to say about me? If it weren't for you thieves. Will Emperor Chongzhen be martyred? Today, the Qing Dynasty avenges the first emperor to eradicate you thieves! ”
Wang Jinzhong walked up and slapped Tan Yi in the face: "Gou thief!" Traitor! A brute who betrayed his ancestors! Today you fall into our hands, and we will let you know what it will happen to be a traitor! ”
Yuan Zongdi said: "General Wang, you can hand over this thief to us to deal with!" We have an endless account with him! I must slaughter him with my own hands today! ”
Wang Jinzhong smiled and said: "General Yuan, isn't it too cheap to kill this thief with one sword?" He should be allowed to enjoy it slowly! Skinning, cramping, lingchi, standing cage. Drill Monkey, which one do you think is better? ”
"Ling Chi! Today this traitor is going to be cut with a thousand cuts! Yuan Zongdi yelled.
Wang Jinzhong said: "We don't have a good executioner, Ling Chi executed him, and accidentally let him die at once, wouldn't that be too cheap for him?" In my opinion, let's give him a drill monkey and let him die slowly! ”
"Drill Monkey? What is the meaning? Yuan Zongdi asked.
Wang Jinzhong said with a smile: "It's a flagpole, let's get a pen holder as thick as two zhang long." The front end was sharpened with a piece of wood, and the other end was on the ground, and the thief was tied up and he sat on the tip. The tip of the wood pierced through his pire. Relying on his own weight, he slowly slid downward, and after a few days, the stake stabbed out of his throat. Just ran out of breath. It will take about five or six days. ”
Yuan Zongdi laughed and said, "Okay! It's a good idea! Then let this thief die slowly! ”
A flagpole was erected at the door of the Sichuan Governor's Yamen in Chengdu, and a guy was sitting on the flagpole. Needless to say, I also know that this guy betrayed the Ming army four years ago. surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, killed his superiors, and betrayed the Wen Governor, which led to the defeat of the Ming army, and Li Dingguo had no hope of turning the tables from then on, and the Son of Heaven was therefore the culprit of the southern hunt, Tan Yi.
On the side of the flagpole, there is also a relatively high flagpole, which is used to fix Tan Yi, so that he will not slide off the flagpole. The method of fixing Tan Yi is also very peculiar: hang his pigtails and hang them on the flagpole.
Three days have passed, and Tan Yi, who was tied up with five flowers, sat on top of the sharpened wooden stake for three days, and the flagpole had reached the position of his stomach. This traitor is now using great pain to repay the blood debt he owed four years ago.
As for the Qing soldiers who surrendered in Chengdu, most of them were the original Ming army. Except for those extremely heinous Tan Yi's own soldiers, who were all beheaded, the other captives have become laborers and are nervously harvesting early rice. After the rice is harvested, it will be sent to the base area of the Western Expeditionary Army in western Sichuan.
Several soldiers carried sacks that had just been filled with grain, walked past the flagpole, and saw that the original commander was suffering greatly at this time, and these soldiers were so frightened that their legs trembled.
"Let's go! What to see! The Ming army behind unceremoniously whipped over.
The soldiers carried the grain out of the yamen, and some of them wiped a cold sweat with their hands. The Ming sergeant behind him was still scolding: "Remember! Those who dare to betray their lords for glory and surrender to the Tartars are the end! ”
Yuan Zongdi walked out, looked at Tan Yi on the flagpole, and sneered: "General Tan, you sold your master to seek glory back then, you didn't think that you would end up today, right?" ”
"Please, give me a knife." Tan Yiyang begged.
"A knife for you? So how do you explain it to Inspector Wen? How to explain to the Ming soldiers who died in the battle under Chongqing four years ago? Want to die so comfortably? No way! Yuan Zongdi snorted on the ground.
At this time, someone came to report: "General Yuan, there is a convoy from the Pingxi Palace's palace passing outside!" ”
"Brethren! Let's go, go and rob the convoy of Wu Sangui's old thief! Yuan Zongdi called his own soldiers and was about to prepare to go out of the city to rob Wu Sangui's convoy.
Who knew that Yuan Zongdi hadn't had time to get out of the city, but was stopped by Wang Jinzhong: "General Yuan, come back!" Don't move Wu Sangui's convoy! ”
"Why don't you intercept Wu Sangui's old turtle convoy?" Yuan Zongdi asked in surprise.
"This is not the place to talk, follow me back to the governor's yamen to speak." Wang Jinzhong said.
After entering the governor's yamen, Wang Jinzhong and Yuan Zongdi drove the people around them away before they spoke.
"We can't grab King Pingxi's things, they are cooperating with us. Many of those goods are special offerings of the Eight Banners, which are good things for the Eight Banners to strengthen their health, prolong their lives, and increase their combat effectiveness. Wang Jinzhong said with a mysterious smile.
Yuan Zongdi was furious: "Since it is such a good thing." How can you get cheap tartars for nothing? ”
Wang Jinzhong smiled: "This kind of thing will indeed make the body strong if it is sucked, whether it is running, riding, archery, or swinging weapons to slash, it will be more powerful." But once this thing is addicted, it is much more powerful than smoking! If you don't take it for a day after being addicted, you will feel weak, drooling, and snotty. If the addiction is greater and you stop smoking, you will be in pain all over your body. It's very painful, and by that time, you'll be a complete waste! ”
Yuan Zongdi was taken aback: "There is still such a thing?" ”
Outside Chengdu, the officers and soldiers of the transport team of Pingxi Wangfu suddenly raised their heads, only to find that the green flag of the Qing army at the head of Chengdu had long disappeared, and the big red Ming army flag was flying high!
"Bad thing! Chengdu has been attacked by thieves! Guo Zhuangtu and Fang Guangchen, who personally escorted the goods, raised their heads and looked at the Ming army flag at the head of the city in horror.
"Extension, these goods are worth a fortune. If there is any mistake, you and I can't afford it! Guo Zhuangtu said to the other party Guangchen tremblingly.
You must know that these goods can be sold at a very high price when they are transported to Shaanxi and other places, especially those special offerings of the Eight Banners. Now in the inner city where banner people gather all over the country, many tobacco houses have been opened, of course, they were all opened by Wu Sangui, and the business of those tobacco houses is booming. Earned a lot of money.
Originally, the goods of Pingxi Wangfu went out of Yunnan, went to Guizhou, and then entered the Yangtze River along the waterway. Then head north through the canals. But now that Zhang Huangyan and Zheng Chenggong have entered the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River waterway has been cut off, and these goods have to go to Sichuan and Shaanxi, and then take the official road to Beijing.
Fang Guangchen said: "This Chengdu City, it is said that the city gate is blocked, it seems that only the east gate is open, as long as we avoid the east gate, the thieves will not be able to kill." ”
"Then hurry up and go from the west!" Guo Zhuangtu said, "If there is anything wrong with these goods, we went to the capital, how to explain to the little prince!" ”
In the capital, Wu Yingxiong and Princess Jianning opened several Eight Banners special tobacco houses together are prosperous in business. Wu Yingxiong, who has a business mind, is divided into different rooms according to the colors of the eight flags in the smoke house, which is specially for flag people of different flags to enter and enjoy the fairy-like feeling.
The price of the Eight Banners Special Offering is not cheap, but for those high-grade hardcore crops who have nothing to do all day, this bit of silver is not a problem. Even those low-grade hardcore crops can afford to consume them, because the Eight Banners special offerings are the same as cigarettes, divided into grades, the most expensive is a bag of one or two silver, the cheap bag is only a penny of silver, of course, the taste and purity of the bargain is a little worse. If you are used to smoking high-end goods, and then go back to draw cheap goods, it will be difficult to draw, and you can only continue to spend high prices to draw high-end goods.
Seventeen-year-old Bannerman Boy Nomin walks into a luxury smoke house in the inner city. Nuo Min is Tuhai's son, and at this time his father went to Sichuan and was encircling Li Laiheng. Nomin came here a month ago with a group of fox friends and dogs, and heard that the backstage here was a horse master, so he went in and tried it, and he became obsessed with this good thing.
"Shopkeeper!" Nomin shouted.
"It's coming!" A middle-aged man wearing a melon skin hat walked out, "Master Nuomin is here!" Quick, inside please! ”
The decoration of this smoke house that can be opened in the inner city is very luxurious, and the service inside is a one-stop service. There is a teahouse in the outer hall inside the smoke house, where flag people can fight crickets. Walking in again, there are also theaters and stages inside, where you can eat melon seeds and preserved fruits and listen to people singing. Innermost, that's the lavishly decorated smoking room.
Nomin was first outside, fighting crickets with a few flag men. Anyway, he has been very lucky lately, and he will win every time he gambles. After winning a large sum of money, Nomin walked inside.
"Master, what service do you need?" A guy came up and asked.
"Call me Red!" Nomin said.
Xiaohong is a Yangzhou skinny horse bought by Wu Yingxiong at a high price, and she is specially pinched on the back of the flag man who smokes in the smoke house. The guy took Nuo Min into the most luxuriously decorated room: "This master, you lie down first, Xiaohong will come soon." ”
Then, the guy served tea and snacks again: "This master, these are given away for free, you can use them slowly." ”
After a while, Xiaohong came. Nuo Min lay comfortably on the bed, enjoying the Jiangnan girl gently pinching the back of her neck and beating her back, feeling very comfortable. Then another man brought a large plate with a smoking gun and a fine Eight Flags special offering.
"This master, this is a good special offering, you can use it slowly." The guy nodded.
Nomin gave the man a piece of silver: "Reward you!" ”
"Thank you!" Dude quit.
Nuo Min comfortably enjoyed the beauty's fingers roaming on his back, picked up the cigarette gun and took a comfortable breath, only to feel that the whole body was suddenly soft, from the bones to every pore, there was indescribable comfort. After smoking a bag of cigarettes, and under the pinching of the beauty, Nomin fell asleep.
When I woke up, my whole body was full of strength.
"Good stuff! After a comfortable afternoon of sleep here, you don't have to sleep at night! You can go to the best places to have a good night! Nomin stretched.
Naturally, it is impossible for all of these good things for the Eight Banners to be sold for money by Wu Yingxiong. When the first batch of Eight Banners special offerings were sent to the capital, Wu Yingxiong paid a little tribute to the palace through the relationship of Princess Jianning.
The treacherous and cunning Empress Dowager Bumu Butai is the old witch of Xiaozhuang, so she naturally will not easily believe that Wu Sangui will be so kind and send good things to herself, because in the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, Li Dingguo was still making trouble on the border of Yunnan, so Xiaozhuang asked his son to give Wu Sangui an order, let Wu Sangui disarm, and also cut a large amount of military salary.
Worried that Wu Sangui was secretly doing things in the things he gave him, Xiaozhuang rewarded the best Eight Banners special offerings to Sony, who was already old and dizzy, and one foot had stepped into the coffin.
Who knew that after Sony enjoyed the special offerings of the Eight Flags, Sony, who was about to die, became vivid again, and he had not been able to come to the court for a long time, but he resumed the court, and he could still saliva fly in the court, and his performance was satisfactory.
Witnessing the efficacy of the Eight Banners Special Offerings, the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai also fell in love with this magical thing.
At this time, Bumu Butai was lying on the comfortable bed, half-squinting his eyes, enjoying the best in the world. She took a sip and felt that her whole body was relaxed, and she could still feel like a fairy.
The effect of this thing is not only here, after smoking, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I felt that my whole body was very strong, my spirit was doubled, and my mood was very good.
"It's fine! Wu Yingxiong's minion is still a little filial! The mourning family finally gave him Princess Jianning in vain! Bumu Butai took a beautiful sip and said secretly in his heart. (To be continued.) )
