"Take it!" The armored soldiers were like wolves and tigers, dragging Qian Zhidong and going inside.
As for the few soldiers Qian Zhidong brought on board, they were immediately disarmed and taken off.
There was silence on the shore.
Except for the sound of waves, everyone was stunned by this sudden reversal.
No one expected that Qian Zhidong and Qin Fengliang were about to bid farewell and go back to Beijing to receive awards. In the blink of an eye, following an imperial edict, they became prisoners in public.
This is too exciting!
Some officials, who were elderly and had health problems, had to hold their chests to prevent them from fainting due to difficulty breathing.
As for the generals of the Southwest Army who were sending off the imperial fleet, they all struggled when they looked at me and me.
Ordinarily, Qian Zhidong, who was being held down, was the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Army a day ago, and Qin Fengliang was also the commander-in-chief of the Qin Department. They were originally subordinates of the two men, and they should have contributed at this time to question them. A sound.
But the problem is that not long ago, both of them handed over military power, and now it is Jiao Shen who holds the military power in the southwest.
Thirty years after the founding of the Zheng Dynasty, orthodoxy has gradually gained popularity among the people. A few years are not enough to cultivate the generals' loyalty. It is okay to fight other generals for Qian Zhidong, but it is impossible to rebel for Qian Zhidong. At this time At this moment, although the generals were in complicated moods, they still did not move at all.
One or two stupid young people wanted to rush out to question them, but they were pulled back by colleagues with whom they were well connected.
This is an imperial edict!
Moreover, after the military power is handed over, taking these two men away as prisoners will not hinder the generals of the Southwest Army. They are now members of Jiaojunmen!
"I don't accept it, I don't accept it. I have fought for Da Zheng for forty years. You can't do this to me. Someone is harming me!" At this time, Qian Zhidong shouted as he was being dragged away.
Even his official uniform has been stripped off, and he now looks very embarrassed and has lost all his dignity.
On the official ship in the distance, Su Ziji and others watched this scene and were equally silent.
But it was the same silence, and everyone's mood was different.
Jian Qu stared intently, watching Qian Zhidong struggling, but dragging him in like a dead dog. He felt happy at first, but the huge boulder that was weighing on his heart was finally moved away, and Qian Zhidong, who had been killing him, could no longer pose a threat. Got it!
But then there was a sense of sadness that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead.
Even though Qian Zhidong's military deployment in the southwest was disadvantageous, Jian Qu was a staff member. Knowing that he had sacrificed his life and blood for Dazheng for so many years, why should he be treated like this?
The rumors that the imperial court has been suppressing and rectifying military leaders since its longevity seems to be true.
Many people were saddened by the death of a rabbit, but Shao Sisen, who had always been a Taipei student, couldn't understand it. He coughed and said: "Humph, although Qian Zhidong has made little achievements in the past, merit is merit, and fault is fault. We cannot generalize, let alone merit or demerit." offset."
"It's not surprising that this person is so unruly and ended up like this."
Jian Qu didn't agree with this view at all.
"Master Shao, these words are wrong. They are harsh and unkind words."
"Oh, what should I say?" Shao Sisen was dissatisfied.
"The merits and demerits cannot be offset. This may seem grand, but in fact it is a repudiation. Let me ask you, now it is a punishment. Has the commander-in-chief been rewarded for his great achievements?" Jian Qu said.
"If he were killed to punish his crime, and his son was rewarded for his merits, then the merits and faults would not be equal to each other. Now it is just looking for small faults and negating the great merits."
Seeing Shao Sisen's dissatisfaction, Jian Qu also knew that what he said was inappropriate, so he quickly added: "Therefore, Taizu will reward you with an iron ticket to exempt you from guilt, and you will be forgiven for death or regular punishment. No additional punishment will be imposed if there is an official. This is to reward merit."
When it comes to Taizu's iron ticket of immunity, Shao Sisen is speechless.
"No wonder Jian Qu didn't win the imperial examination in his original province. He was so unfit for the times." Su Ziji actually knew very well. Let's not talk about whether what Jian Qu said was reasonable or not. What he said was resentment.
While talking, as for Qin Fengliang, he was probably a rich man. Although he was also taken in as a prisoner, he was much more honest and silent, and his custody was obviously much more relaxed.
This situation made Qin Fengliang somewhat relieved.
After this incident, when we were sent off again, even the cannon salute seemed a little weak.
The fleet finally left the shore and returned to Beijing.
Su Ziji stood at the stern of the ship, looking at the Anzhou port that was gradually disappearing, with a rather subtle mood.
It can be said that this trip to the southwest was quite rewarding.
It is not just about meritorious service, which is meaningless when the prince's bloodline is involved, but personal experience on the battlefield is of great significance to a young man.
He touched his arms again and found a stack of banknotes wrapped in oilcloth. This was half of the windfall from his trip to the southwest.
The rest were all entrusted to the wild Taoist people to join the caravan. Previously, the wild Taoist people were able to sneak into the caravan because of their investment, so their identities were not considered fake.
Maritime traders who have gone to sea have always gained a lot. Although the risks are great, making a fortune is enough for many people to live for a lifetime.
The banknotes Su Ziji kept on hand were also a piece of property when converted into cash. Whether buying a house or land, as well as daily expenses, he didn't have to worry about it for at least a year or two.
The investment in caravans is run by wild Taoists. This is a secret industry. Money begets money, which is more reassuring than sitting idle.
More importantly, when Su Ziji lowered his eyes, he saw half of a red sandalwood shadow floating in his field of vision with a faint green light, and a line of green characters sprang up: "Determine the strategy to pacify the southwest and turn it into the seed of human nature. Can it be done by Pan?" Absorb the Dragon Heart Technique (2500/7000) (this move is irreversible)?”
"Qian Zhidong died, Qin Fengliang was demoted, and turned into a seed of revenge. Is it absorbed by the Panlong Heart Technique (2500/7000) (this move is irreversible)?"
This is the first time that secondary seeds have been produced.
What's even more special is that the result was explained in advance. Su Ziji didn't agree immediately. He looked carefully and fixed his eyes on the words "Qian Zhidong died, Qin Fengliang was demoted".
"The magic weapon clearly states that if there is no accident now, Qian Zhidong will be executed if he comes to Beijing, and Qin Fengliang is the result of being demoted?"
Even Su Ziji couldn't help but feel melancholy. He pondered for a long time before clicking "Yes"
"The Panlong Heart Technique absorbs the seeds of humanity. [The Panlong Heart Technique] is +5000, upgraded to 8 levels (500/8000). The Wenxin Diaolong is improved and gains confusing words."
"The Panlong Heart Technique absorbs the seeds of revenge. The 9th level is opened. [The Panlong Heart Technique] +3000 (3500/8000), Destiny +1, Destiny 5 → 6 (1)"
"Confusing words?" Su Ziji looked at it intently, as if he had some realization.
"Is this a kind of charm that can add some persuasiveness to your words and deeds? It can also be used to subtly plant seeds in your heart through what you believe in, so that you can persuade secretly even from a distance?"
According to Su Ziji's understanding, it is a bit like the inner demon that resides in the human heart!
"Destiny +1 is even more strange. Did I avenge the prince, or... took away Qian Zhidong's destiny?"
Su Ziji, who was thinking like this, withdrew his gaze and was about to talk to the wild Taoist beside him. At this moment, a burst of Xiao sound suddenly sounded.
At first, the sound of Xiao was as thin as silk hair. It seemed to be there and not at all. It kept curling up, and gradually produced sadness. It seemed like meeting, knowing each other, or parting. It was even more indifferent to the meaning of spring and autumn. For a while, everyone in the fleet couldn't help but feel sad. listen.
"Where did this whistle come from?" The wild Taoist raised his head and tried to look for it, but was shocked to find that the sea was blue and there were no people around, not even a boat.
Looking at Su Ziji again, he raised his head and locked his eyes in the sky.
Is there something there?
The wild Taoist went to look, but saw an eagle flying in the sky, thirty feet above the ground, out of reach of the crossbow, and the little fox that was lying at his feet had its fur exploded, pointing angrily at the sky with its paws, and chirping.
Su Ziji's pupils shrank at this moment, and something floated down slowly, not being blown by the wind, and landed in front of him.
This is a white handkerchief.
Could it be that the person playing the flute is a mulberry girl?
Su Ziji suddenly realized that he had missed a destiny by refusing to meet her.
