Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 320

"Danjin Boshuo Ketuhan..." Someone suddenly shouted, "The soldiers of the Ming army are to the southwest of us!"

what?

Ge Erdan was going to be stunned...how could there be more?

He quickly looked back.Sure enough, in the southwest direction, on the grassland twenty or thirty miles away, a giant dragon composed of torches has appeared and is quickly approaching the burning Ulan Butong Mountain.

If you just look at the number of torches, there should be a brigade with more than [-] people coming!

If you hesitate any longer, there will be nowhere to escape!

Thinking of this, Ge Erdan didn't dare to fight anymore, so he had to gather his soldiers and horses, then flew down the hill and headed south.

"Okay, just surround yourself!"

Just when Ge Erdan packed up some troops and hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield under the guard of his own soldiers.Zhu Heqi already knew that he had won again...he was invincible!

In the golden-roofed tent, after listening to the reports from his subordinates Ma Bao and Su Zhanjiang, Zhu Heqi smiled and said to Anu who was beside him: "Anu, it's time for you...to recruit as many people as possible." people.

These people are the first batch to set foot on the land of the New Continent, to help little Celing open up the territory.Today's battle is actually the battle for the founding of the American Khanate. "

It turns out that the captured Junggar cavalry who failed in the Battle of Ulan Butong will soon become the first generation of "Americans"!

Chapter 757 You are all Americans now!

The Americans are finally here!

They were captured...more precisely, the Mongols and Han Chinese who were captured as Americans are now being escorted to the Ming army camp on the bank of the Huang River, eighty miles north of Ulan Butong Mountain. In an American POW camp!

And the wooden castle on Ulan Butong Mountain is actually just a set, with nothing inside except lanterns and torches.And the purpose of Zhu Heqi asking people to build this set is of course to coax Ge Erdan into taking the bait.That's Ge Erdan who likes eggs to hit rocks!How could Zhu Heqi be fooled by Ge Erdan?So after learning that Ge Erdan was going to come back to lie down, Zhu Heqi immediately instructed the military division office to start formulating a plan to encircle and wipe out Ge Erdan's main force.Moreover, he has even thought about the whereabouts of the prisoners captured by Ge Erdan...all of them will be sent to become Americans!

It's not good to be an American these days, but now Daming is the world's number one GDP and per capita!With a population of 6000 to [-] million, it occupies more than one billion mu of cultivated land, and basically monopolizes the three top industrial chains of porcelain, silk, and sugar, and there is still some competition in the international market for crucible steel, crystal glass, and dyed cotton cloth. The opponent's top industrial chain.There are also industries such as perfume and garlic medicine, which are small in scale but super profitable.In addition, Daming's competitiveness in international shipping, overseas zero-yuan purchases, animal husbandry and financial industries is also rapidly improving.

So if someone counts GDP these days, Daming will say the second, who would dare to say the first?As for the United States... even if the Indians catch bison and the whites catch Indians are included in the GDP, there is no way to compare with Ming Dynasty!

Moreover, Daming not only has a high GDP, but also a society of equal wealth.Daming has the "three equals" of equal land, equal service and equal tax. Although it only goes to clans and villages, it does not go to individuals, and more than 50.00% (according to the whole country, Northeast and Sichuan are due to population There are too few, and we can only develop large farms), private farms and official farmland areas, but it can be averaged to this point. Compared with those civilized countries where sheep cannibalize people or serfdom has not been completely abolished, I really don’t know how much progress has been made.

Daming has also begun to promote four-year compulsory education throughout the country, opened a large number of government-run primary schools and government-run middle schools, and opened many universities in the three major cities of Nanjing, Beijing, and Guangzhou.

In addition, in the three capitals of Ming Dynasty, various provincial capitals, and prefectures in developed areas, there is also a "public hospital", that is, a government-run public hospital!

Therefore, the current Daming is a real country on the top of a mountain, and it is still in the stage where hope is the most precious thing for the people.

In this era, the people of Ming Dynasty are of course the happiest people in the world.So it is very difficult to get some people to go to the New World to become "Americans".

In Han, including North Korea, the Ming court had established the penalty of "exile to the New World" to replace most of the death penalty and imprisonment.

But in the Mongolian feudal land, the Ming Dynasty did not set up a judiciary office, and of course it was impossible to arrest many Mongolians and become Americans.Moreover, it is very difficult to recruit immigrants from the banners of Inner Mongolia directly under the imperial court... These Mongols belonging to the Ming Dynasty are doing well now, and the Ming court allocated them a lot of grazing land, which is enough to feed many cattle and sheep horses.However, the provinces in the north and northeast of Ming Dynasty are suitable for the development of horse farming because of the small population and large land, so there is a great demand for mules and horses.At the same time, the Ming Dynasty began to support the "banner-people joint venture" captive horse farms in various banners of Inner Mongolia, and also exported "Macao horses", that is, Lutasino horses native to Portugal, to those horse farms.Therefore, the people's livelihood in all the banners of Inner Mongolia is now developing well, and no one wants to leave their hometown to go to the United States to herd sheep and horses!

And it's not just any Mongols who are sent to the New World can walk sideways. The combat effectiveness of the Inner Mongolian Bannermen living in the Monan Grassland and the Dongdao Grassland is not very impressive.They belonged to the "captive" Mongols, who were trapped by the Qing Dynasty for decades, and some of them who could fight were taken to "print" by Kangxi.The rest are Mongols who keep their own place, the kind who read more scriptures and make less trouble.

The Mongols in Junggar are amazing. They are not only "wild", but also the fiercest in wild Mongolia. In history, a family singled out the Qing Dynasty, Rakshasa, and Kazakhs. In terms of internal strife, even Emperor Qianlong might not be able to shovel them away.

So it is most appropriate to catch them and go to the United States to take the lead!

In order to capture these future Americans, Zhu Heqi spent a lot of money, not only dispatching three Ming army infantry towns and guard cavalry towns (composed of guard cavalry, Sauron cavalry, and Barhu cavalry), but also mobilized strategic forces to capture these future Americans. The Junggar cavalry in Vanarabutan and the Chahar cavalry in Burni mobilized a total of more than 8 people. After dawn, seven or eight hot air balloons were launched into the sky.Three levels inside and outside laid a net for Ge Erdan's subordinates!

Of course, it's not like they didn't slip through the net... Ge Erdan and his soldiers slipped through the net!

If "the world's number one reverse military division" Zhou Peigong had been following Ge Erdan, he would probably have escaped.But he was too clever, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he led his subordinates to sneak ahead.

As a result... he didn't slip too far, and he was caught by Burni's men, and he was tied up and taken to Zhu Heqi's big tent.When he was escorted, Ge Erdan's generals Dugar Arabbutan and Danjin Omu, as well as a dozen or so Zaisang from Otok, had arrived first.And they have already been untied, and they have been given seats, and Zhu, Qi and Anukodun are giving them lectures!

Zhu Heqi was in charge of speaking Chinese, and Anukodun was the interpreter.

"Ge Erdan is the first offender in this incident, and you guys are just like Anu, they are all coerced! Since I can forgive Anu's crime and make her the wife of the United States, I can also spare you. Sin...as long as you give allegiance to Anu and her son Zhu Celing, the American Khan, it will be fine! And I will not withdraw the Junggar vassal state, but will only divide Junggar into five. The eldest son of Ge Erdan Sebuteng Baljur is still the king of Shunyi, and the Tumotechuan Grassland and Guihua City belong to him. Cewang Arabtan, Sonomu Arabutan and Tenjin Omban each receive a share, and I will take it The territories of the Junggar Grassland, Ili Grassland, and Khobdo Grassland were allocated to the three of them. In addition, the territory of the Yeerqiang Khanate, except for the Hami Six Guards, was also temporarily managed by Tsengarabutan.

As for the American Khan Celing and the American wife Anu..."

Zhu Heqi looked at Ge Erdan's restless subordinates and said with a smile: "Their fiefdom will be in the New World on the other side of the ocean...there is the most vast and fattest grassland in the world! They all belong to the American Khan, you guys Go first, America Khan will go to the country when he grows up."

"But..." Anukodun pretended to say, "But how do we get there?"

Zhu Hechi smiled and said: "Anu, you don't have to worry, I will make arrangements for you... There will be a big ship to take you across the ocean, or you will go in stages, and there will be horses, weapons, food, etc. Wait and send it there together. Keep it safe and you can gain a firm foothold on the other side of the ocean!"

At this time, Zhu and Qi had already seen Zhou Peigong, who was escorted by Burni himself.

After Emperor Zhu finished speaking, he glanced at Burni, and Burni immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, my servants have captured Zhou Peiguang!"

Zhou Peigong became anxious when he heard Burni's words, and quickly corrected him: "Zhou Peigong...my name is Zhou Peigong!"

As soon as Burni raised his hand, he patted the back of his head: "Stop talking nonsense, who doesn't know that you are Zhou Baoguang, the military strategist who gives Kang Mazi bad ideas?"

Chapter 758 Zhou Peigong, scourge America!

Actually caught a military division who lost light.

Of course, Zhu Heqi knew the name of the military commander who compensated Guang. Both Yousi and Jin Yiwei of the military division's office had reported to him. Huang Zhisheng, who is now an ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, also told Zhu Hechi that he was resourceful, but the "military division luck" was very poor. Zhou Peigong.

It would definitely be inappropriate for such a loss-making military commander to be killed...Because Zhou Peigong is not alone, but has a group. He is the founder of Confucianism, has been the leader of Confucianism for a long time, and is the core think tank of the Confucianism group.

If Zhu Heqi had people kill Zhou Peigong, not only would the other Confucian masters who had gone to the Western Regions fight Daming to the end, but they would also be relieved of their suspicion of transparency.

If Zhu Heqi didn't kill Zhou Peigong, what would Kangxi Khan think?It turns out that the military division who lost light was not unlucky, but that he was in the Qing (Mongolian) camp and had a bright heart!In the future, Kangxi will definitely have doubts about other Confucian masters and even all Han disciples of Confucianism.In this way, there will be a rift between Kangxi Khan's Great Mongolian Kingdom and the Western Qing Dynasty controlled by the Confucian disciples, and it is only a matter of time before the Great Mongolian Kingdom falls apart.

And once Kangxi Khan's Great Mongolia loses the territory of Xiqing, the "master supply chain" of Great Mongolia in Central Asia will be broken, and his territory in India will fall into the predicament of having no master to use.

And if Kangxi Khan used troops to Central Asia... Looking at the history of India, the record of India's Northern Expedition to Central Asia is really appalling!

So it is definitely more appropriate to keep Zhou Peigong than to kill him.

But this "military division of loss" can't be smashed... What can I do if I lose all of the Ming Dynasty?

In addition, I don't know if he would commit suicide and die in Mongolia?If he must die, no one else can stop him!So it would be nice if he could kill himself in his home in Terengganu or Golden State after his release.

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi said to Burni: "Burni, please send a bondage to this lost army division."

"Yes, hurry up, let go!" Burni quickly ordered the men who were escorting the "military division" to loosen the rope.

Of course Zhou Peigong knew that loosening the ties usually meant not killing them.If you want to kill, just pull it out and kill it with a knife. I have never heard of it being tied with a different rope and then pulled out to kill.So as soon as he was untied, he quickly knelt down to Zhu Heqi, and kowtowed: "The sinner Zhou Peigong thanked Emperor Daming for not killing him. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

This is called long live?Why are the bones so soft?

Zhu Heqi frowned, and said to himself: "You also say something like 'kill as you want', maybe I will change my mind and fulfill your loyalty."

"Zhou Peigong," Zhu Heqi asked again in a cold voice, "are you willing to work for me, Ming Dynasty?"

In fact, Zhu Hechi was just being polite. He actually didn't want to hire this "military adviser" but just to show that he was a corporal.As long as Zhou Peigong said "a loyal minister does not serve as the second master", then Zhu Heqi would immediately let him go as far as possible.

However, Zhou Peigong was immediately moved by Zhu Heqi's virtuous corporal, and quickly kowtowed again: "I am willing to be the Holy One and work hard for Ming Dynasty!"

This is going to sell yourself?

Zhu Heqi frowned even tighter, it's all because of his cheap mouth!How did you recruit this "military division"?No, we can't let him spoil the fortune of the Ming Dynasty, or set up a good job of "tasting the red on the top of the crane"?

As soon as I thought of this, Anukedun had already spoken: "My lord, why don't you let him go to the New World with Dugar Arabtan and Tenjin Omu. Dugar Arabtan, Tenjin Omu Although the two of them are brave and good at fighting, they have no ability to govern the country. If you still want to build a city on the west coast of the New World, then they are even more helpless."

Send to America?

This is a way!

Zhu Hexi said heartily: "Let him go in the first batch. If the bad luck hasn't turned around, it won't hurt a few people. If he doesn't have bad luck anymore, with his ability, he can still play a big role in the New World." It will be of great use. After all, even a person of the same level as him would not be willing to go to the New World! Although Zhou Baoguang is unlucky this time, he is not small, not to mention both civil and military skills, and he is full of bad things... Whether it is an American Indian People are still white skins in New Spain, I am afraid they are not as bad as him."

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi looked at Zhou Peigong, "Zhou Peigong, are you willing to travel to the New World?"

"Yes, I am willing!" Zhou Peigong dared to say no?He was the great military adviser who discovered the "Anti-Classic", and later was responsible for revising the "Anti-Classic", strictly speaking, he is also a great Confucian.How can you not know the most basic way of observing words and expressions?Zhu Heqi's face was not very good-looking, it was because he despised his name of "Military Adviser for Losing Light".So he has to cherish this opportunity, otherwise the king will kill his ministers, and the ministers will not die.

"Okay then!" Zhu Heqi nodded, "Since you are not afraid of the dangers of the sea, then take your followers and retainers and go to the New World together... The boat to the New World has been prepared long ago, and you can get on board at any time." Lu! Zhou Peigong, when are you planning to leave?"

Zhu Heqi's plan to colonize the United States has been prepared for many years, and now there is a springboard, Dongfeng, and troubles in Europe, and the two imperialists of England and the Netherlands have also gone to India for zero yuan purchases.It can be said that everything is ready, except for the "American generation" immigrants.

"In May," Zhou Peigong said, "I am willing to sail across the sea and go east to the New World on the day when the May flowers bloom!"

Mayflower?

Zhu Heqi's eyes lit up, there was something to be done!

"May?" Anukodun asked, "It's only the second day of April, and you have to prepare for a month?"

In fact, according to Zhu Heqi's plan, it will take a long time for the captured Junggars to be sent to the New World—of course not all of them, because some of them are the old ministries of Sangge, and they have to be returned. Tsengwang Alabutan, and some of them will be sent to Anu to lead, which is regarded as the heart of Zhu Celing and Sebuten Baljur.Although some of them will go to the New World in the future, they will not be the first batch.Instead, after Zhou Peigong and his group have established a firm foothold in the New World, they will pass by in stages.

The rest won't be shipped off right away, and they'll have to be inoculated with the human pox and rehabilitated before they can cross the ocean and become Yankees.If we can start in May, it is already considered very fast.

At this time, Zhou Peigong explained again: "The American lady doesn't know something. The reason why I want to leave in May is because I have to wait for two helpers to go on the road together."

"Two helpers?" Zhu Heqi asked, "Who?"

"Li Guangdi, Chen Tingjing." Zhou Peigong said, "Li Guangdi was a Confucian master, and now he is the head of the Confucian Southern Dark Hall. Chen Tingjing's family was originally a wealthy merchant in Shanxi, and he was a Jinshi in Shunzhi 15 years ago. Before Kangxi fled westward, he was an official. Cabinet bachelor, and also joined the Confucianism. The false sage thought he was in the way, so he let him be the chief hall master of the Confucian northern dark hall. With the help of these two people, the minister will definitely be able to make contributions to the court and the sage in the New World. Open up the territory!"

Zhou Peigong is submitting a certificate... saying that he is asking Li Guangdi and Chen Tingjing to help, but he is actually selling the main hall of Confucianism's north and south dark halls to Zhu Hechi!

Although Confucianism's activities would not be stopped just because the two main halls were destroyed, the snake had no head. Without the command of the main hall, Confucianism's activities in Daming and Han would definitely be greatly reduced.

"Okay!" Zhu Heqian laughed, "The governor of Jin Yiwei is in the army. If you tell him where the two of them live, he will naturally send a cavalry to invite them."

Of course Zhu Heqi knew the names of Li Guangdi and Chen Tingjing.Even if he hadn't heard of it in his previous life, in this life he knew the great Ming of these two people from the reports sent by Confucian School, Jin Yiwei, and Yousi of the Military Master's Mansion.

Such a villain must be hired to join the gang, one villain and two gangs!With these three big villains, plus the Junggar warriors led by Dugar Arabtan and Danjin Omu who are responsible for killing people, the matter of opening up the New World should be sure.

Chapter 759 Three villains, top Washington!

The sixth year of the Great Duke of Ming Dynasty, at the beginning of May.

Beijing City, Jinyiwei Back Street.

A brand-new four-wheeled box-type prison vehicle rumbled across the street in the most prime location in the center of Beijing, and turned into the alley where the Fusi Yamen in Jinyiwei Town was located.

At the entrance of the alley, there was a captain wearing a blue-bottomed flying fish suit, carrying a embroidered spring knife, and a small flintlock pistol, and several soldiers with flintlock spears came forward to inquire.The front and back of this new-style prison cart had flintlock guns on their backs, guards riding Mongolian horses, and a Tiqi leader wearing a red-bottomed flying fish suit.Seeing that someone came to ask, he took out the token (actually Zhang Wenshu) and handed it over.

The blue-clothed captain who was guarding the entrance of the alley took the token, inspected it carefully, and then raised his eyebrows: "Yo, the chief hall master of the northern dark hall of Confucianism has been captured!"

The red-clothed Tiqi stroked his beard, grinned and said, "That's a serious crime that should be put to death!"

The captain in blue responded with a smile: "Then you have to open your eyes... Come, I will lead you in."

As he spoke, the captain in blue raised his hand and waved his hand to the gate of Beizhen Fusi on the back street of Jinyiwei, and shouted: "It's time to come, open half the gate!"

Opening half the door means opening one of the two gates of Beizhen Fusi, so that the new-style four-wheeled prison vehicle can drive directly to Beizhen Fusi's yard. This is not the case for any prisoner.Since the opening of the Fusi Yamen in Jinyiwei North Town, Beijing, only two prisoners have enjoyed such treatment. The last one was Li Guangdi, the head master of the Confucian Southern Dark Hall, who was also brought in in this way.

Today, it is Chen Tingjing, the head master of Confucianism's northern dark hall, who is escorting here!

Chen Tingjing is in his 40s this year. He looks quite dignified. He looks like a high-ranking official. Even though he has been slovenly for many days and his gray beard is a bit messy, he still looks very dignified.Since he was a repeat offender, he was handcuffed and fettered, locked directly in the carriage, and bumped all the way. It was a great crime.But when he was dragged out of the carriage by two Jinyiwei soldiers, he still tried his best to maintain the demeanor of a senior court official. "Hum", he struggled and said: "Let go of me, I can walk!"

A Jinyi Wei Tiqi who spoke Cantonese snorted, pointed at Chen Tingjing and scolded: "Throw away your old mother! You don't know it when you are about to die. Li Guangdi, who was escorted last time, is smarter than you, and has already joined the Ming court as an official." Already!"

Chen Jingting was taken aback, a gleam of brilliance flashed across his lifeless face, but soon the clouds were overcast again, "Hmph, I was born as a Qing official, and died as a Qing ghost, I would rather die than be a second minister!"

What he said was tough, and he believed it himself, his chest was raised high, and he looked like he was ready to die generously.As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone calling his name.

"Brother Ziduan, please stay safe."

"Brother Ziduan, I'm looking forward to you!"

Chen Jingting turned his head and saw two Ming officials wearing green official uniforms and black gauze hats walking out of the Zhenfusi lobby with their robes in their hands. The two looked familiar, but Chen Jingting was sitting a little bit in the prison car. I was so dizzy that I didn't even remember who they were?

However, what these two people said was a bit irritating. He is like this, how can he be "well"?Why did you come here... Pan Lai kills you, no, is it Pan Lai Ling Chi?When Chen Jingting was about to get angry, those two people had already come to him and bowed their hands to him together.

"Brother Ziduan, I'm Zhou Peigong! I haven't seen you for a few years, and you forgot about me?"

"Brother Ziduan, I'm Li Guangdi... don't you recognize me?"

"Zhou Peigong? Li Jinqing?" Chen Jingting was taken aback, "You two..."

Zhou Peigong smiled and said: "Yes, yes, the two of us have already voted for Mingzhu!"

Li Guangdi sighed: "It's a pity that the vote was late..."

Chen Jingting said in his heart: "You are not late in voting, but early in the Jinshi. You are a great talent in Quanzhou, Fujian, and they are from the same hometown as King Yanping. If Kangxi failed in the ninth year, you will definitely not participate in the Kangxi 12th. In the Imperial Examination of the Qing Dynasty in [-], they must have voted for the new Ming Dynasty. Now they have long been heroes of the restoration of the country, and they may even be awarded the title. Unlike me, a Shanxi native, my family still does not welcome Shanxi merchants... No , how could I have such an idea?"

While he was feeling guilty for his absurd idea, Zhou Peigong and Li Guangdi had already pulled Chen Jingting up one by one and walked to the lobby of Beizhen Fusi.While walking, he persuaded him to surrender.

"Brother Ziduan, come with us to meet Feng Xifan, Commander of Beijing Jinyiwei, Master Feng!"

"After seeing Lord Feng, at most three days, you will be able to see the Holy One...The Holy One is kind, and I have heard about Brother Ziduan's name for a long time, so I will definitely give Brother Ziduan an official job!"

When Chen Jingting heard this, he became anxious, "What are you talking about? I, I, Chen Jingting, was born as a Qing official and died as a Qing ghost. I should not be a second official!"

"Confused! Brother Ziduan, no one wants you to be a second minister!"

"Yes, not as a second minister, but as a third minister!"

Chen Jingting was confused, "Why are you three ministers? I have never been an official in the Ming Dynasty, and I was an official in the Qing Dynasty when I was an official... I was only six years old when Emperor Weizong died!"
