After seeing the Qing prisoners in several cellars in Camp No. 5, Saimar followed Serdan to the camp where wounded soldiers were kept in isolation. The first thing the two looked at was the seriously injured area. Saimar was surprised to see that, as Zhao Xin said, most of the wounded here were amputees, and the daily care was also taken care of by the lightly wounded.

"Miracle doctor!" Saimar noticed that although these Qing prisoners who were missing arms and legs were in low spirits, they had no problem surviving. There was no suppuration or decay in the wound dressing area.

"Sa Lian, it's time to change the dressing and give the injection!" A Beihai Town Medical nurse wearing a mask opened the door and walked in, carrying a small suitcase; there was a white circle painted on the outside of the suitcase with a red cross in the middle. .

As soon as Saimar heard the voice, he realized that the person was a woman, and asked in surprise: "Brother Serdan, is your doctor here a woman?"

"Haha, there are men too, but there are more women."

After listening to what Serdan said, Saimar noticed that all the wounded in the room had expressions of gratitude on their faces when they looked at the woman wearing a white coat.

When he saw the woman taking out a syringe with a slender needle from the suitcase, Saimar was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What is this for?"

"Treat the disease. An injection will prevent the wound from becoming inflamed and rotten." Serdan said calmly.

When Saimal saw the woman inserting the needle into the arm of the man named Salian and slowly pushing the medicine in the syringe, he asked again: "Is this enough? Is the medicine in the white tube?"

"Yes." Seldan didn't know much, but he had seen Zhao Xin treat Yalha.

"You can cure any disease?"

"Yes. Brother Yalha was barely alive at first, and it took Master Zhao several days to revive him."

"What?!" Saimar was stunned. He didn't expect that Zhao Xin, the rebel in the court's mouth, was actually a doctor. Ning Guta must be interested in this news.

After seeing the wounded, there was only one last stop left.

Serdan took Saimar back to Jurgen City and came to the door of a wooden house in the city. A total of more than a dozen guards stood outside this wooden house, surrounding it tightly. Seeing someone coming at this moment, the guards stared at the two people as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

After Seldan dismounted, he took out a warrant signed by Zhao Xin from his pocket and handed it to the guard standing guard at the door.

After the guard took it and read it, he said to Serdan: "He is the only one mentioned above. You can't go in. As usual, you need to search and change clothes."

Serdan nodded and said to Saimar: "I can't get in here without an order. Everyone has to be searched and changed before they can get in."

Saimar nodded nervously and followed the two guards into a nearby hut; when he came out again, his hair was messed up, he was wearing a green cotton coat, and his boots were replaced by Got a pair of cloth shoes.

After he followed a guard into the house, he saw two guards at the door. Behind a desk in the room sat a man in his thirties. He was wearing a black cotton robe and a dark blue Batulu vest. He had a thin face and a slight beard under his chin. , looking at himself calmly.

"Who are you?"

Saimar felt his mouth was dry, and he knelt down on the floor, kowtowing repeatedly: "Young man, Huo Jihun Saimar, from Wuktun, Qiheichen Township, see you, Lord Zhongtang!"

Fukang'an said with a kind face: "It turns out to be Huo Jihun. How brave! How dare you come alone in this weather! Who asked you to come?"

Saimar didn't dare to get up, put his head on the floor and said, "It's that adult, and... and He Zhongtang."

"He Shen is here?! No courtesy, please get up and talk." Fukangan's tone was calm, but his enunciation was a bit unclear. He raised his hand to signal, and the eyes of the three guards in the room immediately focused on him.

Fukang'an raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Haha, you don't need to be nervous." As soon as he said this, the three guards in the room showed disdain. This made Fukangan quite annoyed, and a trace of blush appeared on his fair and thin face.

To be honest, it's no wonder the three guards were there. It is said that Marshal Fu has tried to commit suicide many times since he was captured; from wiping his neck to biting his tongue, from banging his head against a pillar to trying to hang himself, and later even went on a hunger strike.

The first time was by the Suifen River, and wiping his neck failed; the second time was during the escort, and he bit his tongue and committed suicide while sitting on a horse. Fortunately, he was discovered early and the broken tongue was saved; the third time was during the interrogation, and he hit his head on a pillar and knocked himself. His head was bruised and bloody; for the fourth time, he took advantage of the guards to leave, tore open the sheets and tried to hang himself...

Zhao Xin was annoyed by his commotion, so he put on the restraints and gags used on mentally ill patients. As a result, Marshal Fu, who was lying in bed unable to move, started a hunger strike again.

When Zhao Xin saw this situation, he thought to himself, "You're such a brat, I can't control you yet!"

Bring on the nutrient solution! Get glucose! Take a sedative!

With the three-pronged approach, Fukangan sadly discovered that he could not die no matter what. However, he was so noisy that it really gave the guards a headache. They dared not relax twenty-four hours a day, which made them exhausted.

For Zhao Xin, such a big meat ticket cannot die, no matter what, he must be allowed to live. As for paying the ransom and releasing the person, then love him to death. At the same time, Zhao Xin was also anxious to return to Beihai Town and take a boat south, so he went out in person and came to this house...

"Fu Zhongtang, let's get to know each other, I am Zhao Xin."

Fukangan, who had closed his eyes and said nothing, gradually opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Xin.

"What? Don't you think it's the same? Don't worry, it's true. You'll never be deceived." As soon as he said this, Fukang'an immediately widened his eyes and stared at the life-and-death enemy in front of him, with a look on his face that he wished he could Tear Zhao Xin to pieces!

Zhao Xin asked the guard to move a chair one meter away from the bed, and said to Fukang'an: "Fu Zhongtang, the reason why I came here today is to tell you that it is easy to die, but it is just a waste of my bullet. But If you die like this, are you worthy of the old emperor who raised you? Are you worthy of your father Fu Gong? There must be an old mother in the house who needs to be taken care of, and a lovely wife and concubine who still needs to be taken care of. "

Fukang'an's thin face kept twitching, and his eyes gradually turned red. However, his long-term palace education and his pride as a nobleman prevented him from bowing to Zhao Xin.

What a proud man he is! He was born into one of the eight most famous surnames in Manchuria, his aunt was a queen, and his father, Fu Heng, was the head military minister before he was thirty years old. Fukang'an was raised in the palace by Qianlong since he was a child, and he was treated like his own son. Qianlong once said, "I treat Fukangan like a father and son in my family, and my kindness and trustworthiness are extraordinary." He has been fighting abroad for more than ten years without a single defeat. Unexpectedly, he fell into the hands of the man in front of him twice in succession.

Since being captured, Fukang has been unable to sleep at night. Every time he closes his eyes, the sky-blocking artillery fire appears in front of his eyes. He was actually very scared. The power of firearms in Beihai Town had already destroyed his courage. He didn't know how to face Qianlong in Beijing and how to face his father Fu Heng's spirit in heaven.

Right now, he was desperate for life and death. His hands and feet were tied with cotton straps, and a strange thing was stuffed in his mouth, making it impossible for his teeth to bite his tongue. Every day, a woman in white clothes comes over and pricks her arm with a weird needle. The transparent tube behind the needle is connected to a transparent bag. I heard the content inside is called "nutrient solution", which can make her... Can't die...

"You must have seen some of the strength in Beihai Town. Don't you want the court to know? As long as the Qing court demands a ransom, you can still go home. Are you too irresponsible for making such a fuss?"

Zhao Xin put on a contemptuous look and tone, and continued to stimulate: "I tell you the truth, no matter how many more troops the court sends, to me, it is just a plate of food! Whether I want to eat it or not depends on my mood."

Fukangan suddenly shook his head desperately and made a "ho ho" sound in his mouth.

Zhao Xindao: "Want to talk? If you promise not to bite your tongue, I will remove the thing from your mouth."

Fukang'an nodded slightly, and Zhao Xin ordered the guard to remove the plastic mouth opener that had been worn for several days.

"Is it so dark inside?" Fukang'an's tongue was injured, and his mouth had been controlled by a gag for so long, so his speech was smeared.

Zhao Xin ordered the guard to get a glass of water and feed him a few mouthfuls. Feeling that his mouth and throat were no longer so dry, he asked again: "Who are you, Your Excellency?"

"Let me state in advance that I am not a Manchu. In case you ask this later." Zhao Xin waved his hand with a smile and continued: "I am just an idler. I didn't want to interfere with your business, but unfortunately I ran into a group of hungry people. I can't help it, since If they meet, then I have the responsibility to lead them to survive. The Northeast is so big, and I originally wanted to occupy a piece of land to grow food, but who would have thought that Hunchun would actually send troops to attack me."

"Because of this?" Fukangan didn't believe Zhao Xin's words at all.

"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Zhao Xin stopped smiling. "It's not enough for you to come once, you come one after another. The clay figurine is still very angry, let alone me."

"You will take in the fugitives."

"That's because Hunchun's bastard killed his whole family!"

"In that case, I can submit a note to the emperor and request that you and others be exempted from the death penalty. From now on, you will submit to the imperial court and guard this place."

"Haha, I'm sorry. I don't have the habit of kneeling and kowtowing to others, and I hate the rat tail on the back of your head the most. I am a Han!"

"You want to rebel? We have hundreds of millions of people in the Qing Dynasty. You are overestimating your capabilities!"

"I have the final say whether to fight or not. I would like to advise you not to send any more dead ghosts."

Fukang'an closed his eyes and said nothing, and after a moment he sighed: "Your Excellency is indeed a remnant of the previous Ming Dynasty!"

Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the other party changed the topic to this.

Fukang'an stared at Zhao Xindao: "What is your relationship with Zhu Youfeng? Have you been hiding overseas all these years?"

Zhao Xin didn't say anything for a long time, thinking to himself that I, the remnant of Zhu Ming, might have to sit down. Do you admit it or not? Once you tell this lie, you have to tell lies one after another to make it come true. If you randomly identify your ancestors for no reason, if someone asks you for a family tree, do you have to find someone to compile one?

Therefore, Zhao Xin decided not to admit or deny, and said directly: "I am indeed from overseas."

He didn't expect that his words would make Fukangan firmly believe that Zhao Xin was a descendant of Zhu Ming, and also a descendant of King Zhao's line. This will cause a lot of trouble in the future.

After the conversation, Fukang'an knew that Zhao Xin would let him go after collecting the ransom, so he gave up the idea of ​​seeking death. He decided to open his eyes wide and carefully observe everything he saw here, and report to the emperor when he returned. Although he is useless, there are still many people in the court who are capable of conquering and fighting. Qianlong will definitely send out all the troops in the world to destroy Zhao Xin and his group!

...

At this time Saimar stood up from the floor, bowed his head, not daring to be presumptuous at all. "When the little man saw that the middle hall was safe and sound, a big stone finally fell in his heart."

Fukangan said: "They won't kill me. I don't have to worry here. When you go back, ask He Zhongtang to take all the soldiers back first. Fukangan can't stand my brothers!"

Saimal said: "Zhongtang, please relax. Before coming here, I told Zhongtang that no matter how cold the weather is or how difficult the road is, he will definitely bring the soldiers back safe and sound."

Fu Kang'an smiled miserably: "He Shen...that's all, so you should go back and report the news as soon as possible." After saying that, he got up and went to the bedroom next door, and the two guards followed him in.

After Saimar came out with the guard from the beginning, he searched his body again, then changed his clothes and combed his hair together hastily.

After that, he followed Seldan and met Durga who was also captured. This man, whose courage was completely broken by Beihai Town, seemed to regain some courage when he heard that the imperial court sent someone to redeem him, and there was hope in his eyes.

The next day, Saimar hurriedly traded the goods and set out on the road back to Ningguta with his men and pack horses. Serdan took a platoon and escorted them all the way to Mongolian Karen.

On the way from Fuldan City to Karen, Mongolia, Saimar was surprised to find that on the north bank of the Suifen River, thousands of migrant workers were wielding shovels and pickaxes, shoveling away the snow and widening the road. And several extremely strange steel monsters roared, easily scooping up hundreds of kilograms of soil mixed with snow, and then threw them aside. What surprised him most was that there was a person sitting in each of those steel monsters, surrounded by crystal glass.

Saimar was shocked and pointed at the steel monsters and asked, "What are these?"

Serdan smiled and did not answer, which only added to Saimar's doubts. After crossing the river, it took the group another day to reach Mongolia Karen. During the camping period, Saimar marveled at the camping tents and heating lamps brought out by Serdan and others.

When they arrived in Karen, Mongolia, they found that the unfinished wooden fortress they had seen when they arrived had been completed. There are more than a hundred Beihai Town soldiers stationed here, all holding those kind of rapid-fire guns in their hands.

After a day's stay in Karon, Mongolia, Serdan said goodbye to Saimar. After watching the group of people go on the road, they turned around and led the team back to Jurgen City.

Six days later, Saimar and his party finally arrived in Hunchun. The newly appointed Hunchun leader immediately sent a flight report to Ning Guta. When he arrived in Hunchun, Saimar asked his men to wait at the inn in the city with the goods. He took two people with him, took three dog sleds, and arrived at Ningguta City nine days later.

Heshen, who had already been reprimanded by Qianlong, summoned Saimar immediately. After learning the details of this eastbound trip, Heshen discussed with Na Qitai and decided to set the negotiation location at Amida Karen, sixty miles east of Hunchun City, and the negotiation date was set for twenty days later. .

So He Shen ordered someone to write a handwritten letter and gave it to Saimar to bring to Beihai Town. The letter stipulated the date of negotiation and the number of people each party would bring. Our negotiating representatives were Na Qitai and three assistants.

After Saimar returned to Hunchun with the letter, he rested for a night and hit the road again. Although he was strong and strong, by the time he arrived in Karen, Mongolia, he was too tired to speak.

That night, Zhao Xin saw the letter and started arranging negotiations. After a day of careful discussion with Liu Sheng, Wang Yuanfang, and Ding Guofeng, he decided that he, Wang Yuanfang, and Ding Guofeng would serve as negotiators and lead two teams, Serdan and Elu, and a platoon of fifty people. scale and set off one day later.
