Chapter 901: Servile Knee
Fan Shijie has a great sense of regret that he shouldn't have been, but he is already in the territory of North Korea, and it is too late to regret it. He was beaten by hundreds of farmers in the countryside of North Korea and threw off his armor, he has already thrown people to his grandmother's house, as the saying goes, the big husband can bend and stretch, and the hero does not suffer the immediate loss, if he can't fight, he will negotiate peace.
Unexpectedly, the conditions put forward by the other party were so harsh, first demanding that a large sum of money be paid to the families of the dead and injured villagers, and then asking Fan Shijie to personally go to the village to apologize to the families of the victims. At the same time, these soldiers and civilians of the Korean country were not idle, and sent people to inform the neighboring towns, and the villagers from all over the country soon carried hoes and firewood knives, gathered together, and gradually surrounded Fan Shijie, until Fan Shijie was shocked, it was too late.
Seeing the increasing number of chaotic people in the foreign countries, Fan Shijie was terrified, although the Manchus were already captives outside the Guanwai in the Ming Dynasty, they always regarded themselves as Chinese civilization, and they sneered at the mountain savages like Korea.
"Tell me, what should I do?"
Fan Shijie spread his hands and asked the surrounding staff and subordinates with a crying voice.
But at this moment, those staff who were originally full of wisdom have already closed their mouths. Fan Shijie pointed sharply at one of the staff members who were trying to dodge far away.
"You, didn't you suggest that this government send troops? Now that you are surrounded by mountains, do you have a way to break the siege? ”
Where is the staff still strategizing now, and he has been so frightened that half of the three souls and seven spirits have been lost, and he only replied tremblingly: "The savages in the mountains are afraid of the power of my Great Qing Kingdom, if they can be comforted by good words at this time, they will definitely solve the siege if they think about it, and ......they will definitely solve the siege if they think about it."
"Fart, do you want to let this house beg them?"
Fan Shijie erupted without warning and scolded the staff member.
But scolding and scolding, but there is no way after all, seeing that the situation is becoming more and more urgent, these people under his hands have long been frightened and have lost their courage. In the evening, the prefect of Sin'an Province of the Great Qing Dynasty rushed to an unnamed mountain village in Pyongan Province, North Korea, to negotiate with the local villagers.
What Fan Shijie didn't expect was that these villagers put him under house arrest as soon as they met, and no one negotiated with him. Fan Shijie, who lost his freedom, immediately understood that he had fallen for the tricks of these savages, but being in prison was already a reason why the heavens should not be called the earth, and he could only scold those savages for having no moral integrity.
As a result, a villager was impatient with the scolding and punched him several times, and he immediately closed his mouth honestly.
After another day and night, suddenly the Korean army in strange costumes arrived. Fan Shijie was also allowed to come out of the house under house arrest, and at this time he had some confidence in his heart, after all, the Korean State was a vassal of the Great Qing State, even if they disobeyed the suzerain, they did not dare to openly embarrass him, the prefect of the Great Qing State, maybe it was possible to rely on the power of the Great Qing State to pinch them again.
But Fan Shijie soon realized that something was wrong, these strangely dressed soldiers basically spoke with an accent of North Zhili, South Zhili and Shanxi, and they were authentic Chinese people.
These soldiers are all dressed in bright red shirts and trousers, and the long tops are tied around the waist with a cowhide belt more than four fingers wide.
"You guys, what are you doing here?"
When several soldiers came to twist his arm, Fan Shijie asked in a panic.
A soldier with a Nanzhili accent said coldly: "You are now a prisoner of the 7th Brigade of the 29th Battalion of the 3rd Guard Army of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
"What, what?"
Fan Shijie had long felt that something was wrong, but after really confirming it from the mouths of these soldiers, it was still unbelievable, he felt that everything in front of him was so unreal, as if this was a nightmare, and when he woke up in the blink of an eye, there was nothing to do.
But it wasn't a nightmare, and he couldn't wake up.
"I am the prefect of Xin'an Mansion in the Great Qing Kingdom, if you treat me like this, aren't you afraid that the regent will raise troops to attack Ming?"
Fan Shijie struggled hoarsely, shouted, and even threatened.
One of the soldiers twisted his arms, locked his arms behind his back with delicately crafted wrist cuffs, looked at him sympathetically, and said:
"Don't shout a few words, it's useless for you to shout your throat now, how can Dolgon meet my Ming soldiers because of your straw bag?"
The soldier laughed twice, and then said teasingly: "If you behave well, maybe you will be a Ming obedient citizen!" ”
Fan Shijie initially thought that he couldn't even save his surname, but seeing that the other party's tone didn't look like he was ready to harm him, his heart was a little calm.
Since that day, he has not seen his staff and subordinates, and he was sent overnight to the capital of Ping'an Province, where he was received by a young official with a local accent from Zhejiang.
"I see that you are also a Han Chinese, why do you want to be a lackey for the Manchu Tartars?"
Fan Shijie has a brother of the same clan who has five suits and is very important by the side of the regent, so he was awarded the prefect in the process of internal restructuring of the Qing Dynasty. But now that he is in prison, he will not be stupid enough to pretend to be hard, so he grovels and says: "Villain, the villain has been yearning for the Ming Dynasty for a long time, but he is in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty Tartars, endure, endure humiliation, and bear the burden, but also to be able to do what he can for the Ming Dynasty one day......
The official immediately couldn't hold back his laughter, and pointed at Fan Shijie, who was full of brains, and said, "Is there such a comfortable burden of humiliation as you in the world?" You are too contemptuous of the name of a martyr! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! The villain despised the name of the martyr, and the villain despised the name of the martyr! ”
Fan Shijie had already learned that this person was the ambassador of the Ping'an Province of the Korean State, and he had a strong side, and how the figures in the Ming Dynasty army grasped the power of the Korean region, he also had a vague premonition, so he was submissive to the officials in front of him, and did not dare to have a trace of verbal confrontation.
Yao Qisheng originally wanted to reprimand this traitor, but seeing that he didn't have the virtue of half a backbone, he groveled, so he almost knelt down and licked his shoes, but he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It's really a shame for my Han people, are you the Manchu master who serves you like this?"
Fan Shijie immediately replied: "The villain has no Manchu master, only a Han master!" ”
"Fart!" Yao Qisheng was completely lost his temper by this brainless rammer. "The Han people did not have the ...... that the Manchus did"
Yao Qisheng and Fan Shi Gerory talked a lot of nonsense, and finally turned to the topic.
"Those are the letters you wrote to the envoy before?"
He pointed to a stack of letters on the table, Fan Shijie glanced at it briefly, and immediately said with sincere fear, and said respectfully: "Yes, it is the villain who has eyes and no beads, and has offended the ambassador, capital crime, capital crime!" ”
Yao Qisheng said kindly: "It's not for you to admit the capital crime, but to have serious things to discuss with you!" ”
Fan Shijie immediately replied: "The villain doesn't dare, the ambassador has something to say, just tell the villain!" ”
Yao Qisheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with the sycophant, timid as a mouse, and spineless prefect of the Qing Dynasty in front of him, and went straight to the point.
"First of all, these demands of yours are very unreasonable and unfounded. Moreover, those rebels who fled are all key criminals of the Korean state, and you must escort them back to Pyongan Province unconditionally. Also, due to your unreasonable offense, the people of Ping'an Dao have suffered many losses, and you must be fully responsible for compensation! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! The ambassador has orders, the villain dare not disobey, do not dare to disobey! ”
After repeating a sentence mechanically, Fan Shijie immediately realized something, and blurted out again: "Could it be that the ambassador wants to release the villain?" ”
Yao Qisheng put on a smiling face again, "When did the envoy say that he wouldn't let you go?" Then he added, "As long as you obediently cooperate with the envoy, not only can I release you, but I will also ensure that you return to Xin'an Mansion safely and be your prefect!" ”
Fan Shijie was immediately grateful, he never expected that when there was still a desperate situation, he immediately knelt down as soon as his knees weakened.
"The grace of the ambassador's reconstruction, the villain, the villain is unforgettable!"
Yao Qisheng helped him up, and said comfortingly: "I hope that after you go back, you will not forget what you said today, and make peace and good neighborliness......
"Yes, yes, all the villains are according to the words of the ambassador!"
Fan Shijie replied crisply.
Soon, Yao Qisheng took out a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Fan Shijie, "As long as you sign and draw on this, you will be free!" ”
Fan Shijie took the piece of paper and glanced at it roughly, it was something similar to a guarantee, and the list of items on it was very detailed, but he had no refusal now, as long as he could let him return to Xin'an Mansion, it would be worth signing the deed of sale.
After a few brushes to sign his name, he dyed his index finger with ink and pressed it, so that the contract was completed.
Yao Qisheng then took another piece of paper and asked him to sign and draw the pledge as it was.
"This treaty is in duplicate, one for this and one for you. If there is a breach of contract, the envoy will go to your regent for an explanation! ”
Yao Qisheng's tone of words seemed to be joking, but when it fell on Fan Shijie's ears, it was a different taste, as if there was a hook stirring in his chest. To put it bluntly, this is really a deed of sale he signed, and if the other party is unhappy, he may use these things to ruin his future and everything at any time.
Therefore, Fan Shijie's statement was also very simple, "Please rest assured that the villain is only the envoy's order!" ”
After Fan Shijie returned to Xin'an Mansion, less than three days later, the gentry who fled from Ping'an Dao and opposed the Three Guards were escorted back, and a large number of gold and silver goods were also sent.
A crisis was resolved.
Immediately afterwards, to Yao Qisheng's surprise, the new army of the Three Guards Army officially entered the Yalu River in Ping'an Road a few days later, and it seemed that the smoke of the war was about to break out. And the Three Guards should be the party that takes the initiative to provoke the war!
