I came to Beijing empty-handed to redeem Chang Ning's pearl, and I didn't arrive in Beijing until the end of April.
His journey has not been easy!
Because Kangxi continued to move westward, the Qing Dynasty's rule in Xuanhua Prefecture also fell into chaos. Except for Zhangjiakou, Xuanhua City, Baoan Prefecture, and Huailai County, these larger cities were still under the rule of the Qing court. It was chaos, and a group of robbers appeared on the side of the road without paying attention!
When Mingzhu and his party passed through the grassland outside the mouth, they were attacked more than once by the cavalry of the Mongolian tribes that had broken away from the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty!
When we arrived at Juyongguan, we met another group of unreasonable Dengzhou soldiers. The people of Dengzhou Prefecture had lived a paradise-like life for several years under the rule of the "Benevolent King" Zhu Tianwang, and they all became "Zhu Sanfan" . As a result, the Qing soldiers led by Yue Le and Chang Ning invaded and destroyed their homes. Some family members ran too slowly, and their families were ruined. Naturally, they hated the Qing demon. They originally wanted to go on a killing spree in Beijing, but they didn't expect to encounter the "Kangxi Surrender", and the city of Beijing was basically emptied, leaving no one to kill. So they could only ask their superiors to transfer them to Juyongguan, so that they could take out their anger on the Qingyao in Xuanhua outside the pass.
However, the Qing Yao in Xuanhua Mansion were very uncooperative and they all retreated into the castle to prevent them from fighting. Just when this group of people was too angry to vent their anger, Mingzhu came to redeem people with his tired men. As a result, they became the punching bag of a group of Dengzhou soldiers and were detained as spies, and it was quite reasonable - how to redeem people with nothing? He must be a spy!
All of Mingzhu's men were beaten, but he was the only one who was more "smart". When he was about to be beaten, he had to expose his precious son Nalan Xingde, and then escaped. The general guarding Juyong Pass reported Mingzhu's visit to Beijing. Because Wang Fuchen had a good relationship with Nalan Mingzhu, after obtaining the consent of the Imperial Envoy Wang Shiyuan, he sent his son Wang Zhenji to Juyongguan to bring the Mingzhu to Beijing.
After entering the city from Andingmen, Mingzhu opened the car curtain and took a look outside the car. I found that the city was deserted, there were not many pedestrians on the streets, and from time to time I would encounter heavily armed Ming troops patrolling, and the atmosphere was really tense.
Mingzhu also discovered that most of the doors of the courtyard houses on both sides of the street were sealed and the windows were closed.
"What's going on with these seals?" Mingzhu asked.
"What's going on?" Wang Zhenji said with a smile, "These are all confiscated houses... The city of Beijing has changed its owners again, and the houses in the city are not allowed to change owners?" He lowered his voice, "The Holy Lord is leading the way. The army is coming from the north and will arrive soon. By then, Beijing may be restored to its status as the capital, and these houses can be rewarded to the ministers."
"Oh, that's it." Mingzhu thought to herself, "Xingde should also come with him, right? I don't know how he is doing now?"
Wang Zhenji inquired again at this time: "Ming Zhongtang, I heard that you came here empty-handed this time?"
"Haha," Mingzhu smiled coldly, "Do you think he is really willing to pay for his brother? If he was willing to pay this money, he would not abandon his brother then..."
"Then he must regret it now." Wang Zhenji said with a smile, "Xuan Ye and Chang Ning are really brothers!"
"What's wrong?" Mingzhu was stunned.
Wang Zhenji smiled and said: "Ming Zhongtang, you will find out when you arrive at Yanenhou Mansion."
"What do you know?" Mingzhu asked.
Wang Zhenji smiled and did not answer Mingzhu's question. Instead, he asked Mingzhu another question, "Ming Zhongtang, for whom are you coming to Beijing to redeem someone this time?"
"For Kangxi!" Mingzhu said.
"Kangxi?" Wang Zhenji shook his head, "Kangxi has abdicated!"
Mingzhu thought for a while, "Then it's to redeem someone for Emperor Tongzhi... The credentials are written in the name of Tongzhi." He sighed, "It doesn't matter in whose name it is. If you don't get a dime, you can still redeem it." Go back?"
Wang Zhenji just laughed, said nothing more, and began to close his eyes to rest.
Mingzhu didn't bother to answer, and from time to time opened the car curtain to look around, taking a good look at the city where she had lived for more than 20 years - maybe she wouldn't be able to see it again in the future!
It makes me sad just thinking about it!
As the car meandered along, Mingzhu tried her best to remember the hutong scenery in Beijing. As soon as he saw the car, he entered Iron Lion Alley and headed straight for a mansion surrounded by red walls.
"Isn't this Prince Gong's Mansion?" Mingzhu looked back at Wang Zhenji.
A strange smile appeared on Wang Zhenji's face, but he quickly calmed down: "Now it's Yanenhou's Mansion, it just changed its name... Our Ming Emperor is quite impressive, isn't he?"
"More than small? It's simply too big!" Mingzhu was talking and thinking: "How about I surrender too... My house is also very nice! And I am a descendant of Jin Taiji, a loyal martyr of the Ming Dynasty! "
Nalan Mingzhu, a direct descendant of the Yehenala family, was still well treated in the early Qing Dynasty, and his house was a famous mansion. In the original history, even He Zhongtang was coveted, and Luo Zhi was accused of murdering Mingzhu's descendants and taking the house as his own. Later, the house was passed to Prince Chun, who was also the owner of Guangxu's Amma. Later, Emperor Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kant of Manchukuo, and war criminal No. 981 of the Fushun War Criminals Management Office, Puyi, was also born in the house passed down by Mingzhu.
When Nalan Mingzhu was thinking about whether to formally surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the carriage he was riding in had stopped. As soon as the car curtain was opened, he and Wang Zhenji got out of the car one after another. After getting off the bus, I realized that the carriage I was riding in was followed by a long series of carriages at some point. These were all cargo vehicles, and they were piled with leather boxes and wooden boxes painted red.
"Whose team is this?" Nalan Mingzhu asked.
Wang Zhenji was stunned, "Isn't this the motorcade you brought from Guihua, Ming Zhongtang?"
"Me?" Mingzhuxin said, "What happened?"
Wang Zhenji smiled and said: "If Emperor Tongzhi wants to redeem his marriage to Amma, can he not spend a little money?"
"Emperor Tongzhi's brother-in-law?" As soon as Mingzhu heard this, she knew that these rebels... No, it was the emperor and ministers of the Celestial Dynasty who were causing trouble again!
I have to admit that this term’s Daming Lord is completely “bad”! He doesn't know what it means to be upright at all. Even when he has the upper hand, he will still throw out all kinds of dirty, damaging and cruel moves one by one, without giving his opponent a chance at all.
And they don’t want to win beautifully, they just want to “definitely win” and “must win”... If Wanli, Tianqi, Chongzhen, and that Eunuch Wei could have had Zhu Heji and other bandits and pirates, Half "bad", the Qing Dynasty would never be able to get up!
"Yes, just kiss Amma!" Wang Zhenji said with a smile, "How else could you give up so much property? Isn't this the case that the Queen Mother is reluctant to part with her precious grandson?"
At this time, Wang Zhenji reminded him kindly: "I heard from the imperial envoy that the Holy Father appreciates your talent very much!"
Mingzhu was startled and immediately said: "I understand, Mingzhu understands it."
"Okay, then please come inside!"
Wang Zhenji and Mingzhu got off the car at the gate of Prince Gong's Mansion, and then invited in the Qing Palace eunuch guarding the door. After entering the door, Mingzhu discovered that there were many guests in the Yanenhou Mansion today, all Mongolian guests, and the palace hall was packed to the brim.
These Mongolians did not wear the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, but wore Mongolian robes. They were all fat and strong, and you could tell by looking at them that they were not ordinary people. Some of them actually knew Mingzhu, and they immediately started shouting.
"Mingzhongtang! What gust of wind brought you here?"
"Ming Zhongtang, you are still wearing the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty...have you not become a second minister?"
"Ming Zhongtang, why are you still carrying so many boxes? This is to..."
Mingzhu has understood that the drama of Tongzhi redeeming his father was performed for the Mongolians on the grassland. Mongolians attach great importance to the reputation of their leader. If Kangxi was "ever captured", even if he spent money to redeem him, the Mongolians would look down upon him!
Thinking of this, he cupped his hands at the Mongolians and said: "Everyone, I came to Beijing to redeem his emperor at the behest of Emperor Tongzhi... no, to redeem his uncle, emperor. ....."
