1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 644 Qing Mission ([-])

February 1650, 2, Lunar Lantern Festival, Hanzhou Jianye City.

Just as Tong Guoning got off the boat, he suddenly felt that the soles of his feet were soft and he was about to fall to the ground.

"Master, be careful!" Chi Baoliang rushed over, wanting to support Tong Guoning, but he didn't want his own feet to go limp, and bumped into Tong Guoning's body.

"Dog slave, do you want to die?" Tong Guoning was hit so hard that his chest hurt, and he kicked him angrily.But the person was lying on the ground, unable to exert strength, and his hands and feet were weak. His right leg was only slightly lifted, and it lightly kicked on Chi Baoliang's shoulder.

"Ha ha……"

After the two got off the boat, they rolled into a ball, which made many sailors and dock managers beside them burst into laughter.

"Di Yi's generation has no manners." With Chi Baoliang's support, Tong Guoning finally stood up, glanced around, and raised his head high.

"Are they... Are they Tartars?" Finally someone on the pier noticed that these two people seemed to be a little different from other immigrants who arrived. It is also impressively the attire of Jiannu Tartars.

Tartars actually came to Hanzhou mainland!

As the people on the boat came down one after another, the onlookers at the dock, the garrison patrol police, the black-clothed guards, the spies from the polling office, and many coolies found that the Tartars were not the only two, and several people got off the boat one after another, and then gathered together. together.

"Sir, what's the situation?" An official from the polling office walked up to a naval officer who had just disembarked, and asked in a low voice, his eyes still glancing at the eight or nine men who looked like Tartars from time to time.

"The envoy sent by Jiannu." Then the officer glanced at the other side with disgust, and said: "They want to see our king and say they want to have a discussion with us. ... Most likely they want to promise us some benefits to lure us Withdrew support for the Yongchu court of the Ming Dynasty."

"The envoy of the Tartars?" The official of the polling office showed a strange look in his eyes, and then quickly summoned an agent and asked him to go back to Jianye City to report to Cao Ning, the director of the polling office.

"Hey, these savages from the Qi Kingdom, how come they treat us like prisoners!" Tong Guoning looked around, and found a dozen patrolmen and rural soldiers on duty, holding muskets and knife handles, faintly leading them together Nine people surrounded them.And the many immigrants who got off the boat were already led by many small officials, and walked towards the north side of the pier, presumably to resettle the refugees who came with the boat.

"Lord Tong, please be safe and don't be impatient." Although Wang Weichang, a doctor of the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty, felt extremely tired after a long sailing, he still cheered up and maintained the dignity of an official of the Qing Dynasty. , traveled thousands of miles, and took several months to come to this barbarian land in the south to meet the lord of the Qi feudal clan. Presumably, even though they are vulgar, they will not treat us harshly."

However, this "slightly peaceful" effort made the nine members of the Qing Dynasty Mission wait for more than six hours. What they waited for was really "harsh treatment" by the Qi State officials.After a team of heavily armed marines arrived, they roughly stuffed the nine people into two carriages, and then drove all the way to a military camp outside Jianye City.

I thought that the other party was treating me so rudely because they wanted to give the Qing embassy a disgrace. Then, according to the plot in the play, in the barracks, there should be these high-level officials of the Qi Fan who repeatedly pleaded guilty, claiming that this move was a crime. What a vulgar martial artist did.In the end, a sumptuous dinner was held as a token of apology, and during the banquet, I was asked about the purpose of my Qing mission coming here.

But I never expected that in this barbaric land, the rough people would not follow the routine. They took their delegation to the barracks and threw them directly into a barracks, and then..., his grandma's, just There is no more!These soldiers seemed to really treat them as prisoners and imprisoned them in this barracks without even giving them a stutter.

During the period, Bao Yi, who felt sorry for his master's suffering, wanted to go out of the room to beg for food, but was knocked to the ground with the butt of a gun by several soldiers, and no one was allowed to leave the room without permission.

Your uncle!Men are envoys sent by the Qing emperor and the regent, not prisoners in the hands of you little vassals and barbarians!But seeing the two coated slaves with bloody heads, several masters and officials did not dare to shout loudly and provoke the soldiers stationed at the door.It can be seen that these soldiers are well-trained and execute orders meticulously without any discount at all.

This Qi Fan, is this how he treats my envoy from the Qing Dynasty? ——
"There were originally 22 members of the Tartar Mission, but 13 people died one after another because they were not acclimatized to the environment or were not familiar with sea life along the way. Now only 9 people are left alive in Jianye City." Yiwei Commander Cao He reported, "Their purpose should not be difficult to guess. It is nothing more than to let us stop interfering in the situation on the mainland and withdraw our support for the Yongchu court. As for how much benefits they can promise us, these tartars keep their mouths shut." It was very strict, and the subordinates did not detect it along the way."

"For a mission of more than 20 people, more than half of them died in a sea boat. These people are unlucky enough!" Cao He couldn't help but said with a smile: "Presumably, our navy officers and soldiers didn't give them any help on board the ship." What kind of preferential treatment do you have?"

"Hey..., my lord's guess is right, it's true!" The black-clothed guard said with a smile: "The officers and soldiers on board said that pulling so many more than 20 tartars is not just pulling more than 20 less to survive. Along the way, the cost of food and clothing was the same as that of immigrants on board. In the Tartar mission, there were many Yuskin Tartars who were born in the mountains and wilds of Liaodong. They had never been on any boat. Before arriving in Annan, four of them died. , when we arrived at Xinxiang City (now Suai Town, East Timor), all the fish skin tartars were dead."

"I don't know, what do these Tartars think, they would send a mission to our Hanzhou. Do they really think that they can blackmail us by capturing an uncle of our Qi State?" Cao He shook his head and said, "Need You know, Your Majesty will be even angrier because of this, and maybe he will kill these Tartars to avenge Luo Shouzhang."

"No way, the two countries are fighting each other, so don't cut them off!" Then the black-clothed guard had a look of astonishment on his face when he heard this.

"What kind of serious country is this Tartar court?" Cao He said disdainfully: "Aside from murdering and looting, and insulting our Han people, what else can we do? Look, our king will never talk about anything with the Tartar missions. Peaceful coexistence. Maybe, we won’t see them at all!”

Fan Kailin, secretary of the State Council, saw the queen Luo Yuru walking slowly, and hurriedly bowed to salute.

"Your Majesty is still dealing with political affairs?" Luo Yuru asked softly when she saw that the room inside was brightly lit.

"After returning to the queen, Your Majesty is discussing with Prime Minister Pan, Mr. Shen from the Ministry of Officials, and Mr. Min from the Immigration Department about the appointment of personnel and the distribution of immigrants in Linzi Prefecture (now Sydney, Australia) and Nandu (now Melbourne, Australia)." Fan Kailin respectfully replied.

"It's getting late, let someone prepare some supper for them." Luo Yuru turned and told a female officer beside her.

Taking another look at the figures in the hall, Qi Tian's calm and powerful words were faintly heard, Luo Yuru sighed, turned and left.

Originally, he planned to come over to talk to Qi Tian about his third brother Luo Shouzhang, but seeing this situation, he probably won't have time to meet with her tonight to discuss this matter.

Luo Yuru knew about the arrival of the Tazi mission to Jianye City, and at the same time felt a little relieved.The Tartars captured the third brother Luo Shouzhang on the battlefield in the Shandong of the Ming Dynasty, and now they send a mission to Hanzhou, which proves that they already know the identity of the third brother, and they are going to make a fuss about it.In this way, Luo Shouzhang must still be alive, and he has not even been treated harshly. Otherwise, how dare Jiannu send people to Hanzhou.

However, in the evening, she received news that the military had sent people to directly detain the Tartar missions in the military camp outside the city, and there was still a shortage of food and water supplies. It was obvious that they wanted to mistreat them.

Luo Yuru panicked immediately, if the marines had not received the order from the king, they definitely would not have done such a thing.This style obviously does not want to negotiate with the Tartar Mission.If all the members of the Tartar Mission were detained in Hanzhou, or even executed, the third brother who was in the hands of Jian Nu would be in great danger.After hearing the news, the Tartars must have become angry from embarrassment, and maybe they beheaded him directly to show the public, thinking that he would vent his anger.

In desperation, Luo Yuru hurried over to find Qitian, wanting to persuade him to listen to the conditions of the Tartars first, and if they could negotiate, they might as well make a fool of themselves and exchange Luo Shouzhang back.

Since joining the Marine Corps, Luo Shouzhang has been staying in Daming, married a wife and had children there, and has not returned to Hanzhou for more than six years.It was originally planned to bring their families back to Jianye City with a group of officers and soldiers in rotation this year, but who knows, it was just a simple investigation operation, and they even encountered a large cavalry from the Tartars. captured.

After leaving Chongzheng Hall, Luo Yuru gradually calmed down.As the lord of Hanzhou and the great king of Qi State, Qi Tian is tied to hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Hanzhou.How can I bother Qi Tian with the safety of my third brother?The State of Qi began to interfere in the Ming Dynasty several years ago, and thousands of soldiers were killed or injured in battle. Why is it Duluo Shouzhang?

As a queen, she shouldn't be involved in politics because of her third brother's affairs. At the same time, this also makes it difficult for Qi Tian to do so.

That's all, life and death depend on fate and wealth, let's see how the situation develops.

However, thinking that the king will not ignore this, he will definitely take action.
