Chapter 168 Gift to Dorgon
"Why did the loyal and brave uncle treat the Qing envoy like this?" Shi Kefa, who rushed over after hearing the news, accused Zhao Peng with righteous words, "The two countries are fighting and not being killed. Even if the enemy envoy comes, they should treat him with courtesy. You are fine. You are also issuing an edict to imprison and beheading again. This move is really a disgrace to our Ming Dynasty and is easy to criticize!"
Zhao Peng laughed: "Old Master Shi, I didn't say I wanted to kill the envoy. I would rather stay with me. Tang Qilong's Ben would not kill them, but he would just cut off their ears and put them back."
"But why did you kill Chen Hongfan?" Shi Kefa asked.
"Chen Hongfan is also worthy of being called an envoy? This thief was originally the general of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not want to serve the country. He surrendered to the enemy and rebelled. Such unfaithful and unrighteous people, Master Shi Ge, do you think such a person should be killed?" Zhao Peng sneered.
Shi Kefa, who is a model who is loyal to the emperor and serves the country, hates people who are disloyal to the court the most. After hearing what Zhao Peng said, he was unable to refute and could only whisper: "This thief deserves death, but he should not be executed when he comes to entrust him. He is captured and killed on the battlefield at the pretext of peace talks. However, killing the envoy of the enemy country under the name of peace talks is an unjust act."
Zhao Peng laughed: "Master Shi Ge, no wonder everyone says you are pedantic. It is indeed pedantic. Although Master Shi Ge is admired by the boy, you are not flexible in everything and only know how to stick to the rules. Master Shi Ge, Jiannu has always been betrayal. What kind of benevolence and righteousness do we have with such a Tartar? Didn't Dorgon shamelessly say that he avenged the last emperor, but he occupied the magpie's nest and did not leave! They are like sinister poisonous snakes, never trustworthy. What kind of benevolence and morality do we talk about to them? Benevolence and morality are told to people, but not to animals."
The execution of Lingchi in Zakana lasted for a whole day, and a total of more than 1,200 were cut. The executioner's skills were really good. Each knife perfectly avoided the blood vessels of all sizes. Every knife was only damaged by the flesh and no vital damage at all.
The flesh under the sliced duck was taken out to sell for silver by Zhao Peng, just like when Yuandudu was made into a sliced duck by Chongzhen, the people in the capital competed to eat it.
"Take it back to the imperial prison and give it some rice porridge. I will make sliced ducks tomorrow morning. It must be enough for sliced 3,600 knives!" Zhao Peng ordered.
At this time, the executioner came to report: "Brother, the prisoner is already weak, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to hold on to another 1,200 swords tomorrow."
Zhao Peng turned his head and ordered Chen Xinyuan to open a large box. He took out a hollow wooden pole with a disc on the head from the box and handed it to the executioner and said, "This is a longevity paste, made of poppy seeds, and sucked for Zakara, and guaranteed that he will not die tomorrow. By the way, don't try this thing yourself, otherwise the gods will not save you even if you are addicted."
The so-called longevity paste was accidentally obtained by Zhao Peng from Li Zicheng's army. The reason why the strict smoking ban was implemented during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty was not only that the smoke was homophonic to Yan (Chongzhen and others were all after the King of Yan), but also because farmers in the northwest saw huge profits in tobacco and did not grow grain to plant tobacco, which further deepened the grain shortage. What's more, some people discovered that the poppy shell was originally introduced from the Siam area of Myanmar as an ornamental crop. Later, some people discovered that this thing had the effect of being a magical medicine. Later, some people tried it and found that the fruit shells of this thing were added to tobacco with the seeds and fruit shells of this thing. In order to make tobacco popular, items such as poppy shells, leaves, and branches were added to tobacco.
Zhao Peng accidentally obtained some poppy fruits from Shunjun. He kept the seeds, made the fruits into "Longevity Paste", and made a cigarette gun.
Following Zhao Peng's guidance, the executioner took out a small piece of longevity cream the size of a fingernail and put it into the cigarette bottle. He lit the lamp, licked the longevity cream in the cigarette bottle, and then pointed the side of the cigarette gun nozzle at Zakana's mouth, allowing him to take a sip.
It's strange. Zakana, who had just said he was dying, was resurrected in full blood. He sat up with a "huh" sound, cursing and cursing.
The next morning, the execution began again. During the execution, Zakana could not hold on, and the executioner asked Zakana to take a few pills of the magical longevity cream. As a result, the next day, the tablet was 1,200.
On the third day, another 1,200 knife was finished. Zakana was so fragmented that it was left with only the skeleton wrapped in its stammer. The executioner stabbed Zakana's beating heart with the last knife, and finally cut off his head and put it in the box.
Ning Wan, Tang Qilong and others were taken to the pillar. The executioner first cut off the rat tail on their heads and then cut off their left ears before untiing the rope on their bodies.
Zhao Peng gave Ning Wan-I the box containing the heads of Chen Hongfan and Zhakana to Ning Wan-I: "Take these two boxes back and hand them over to Dorgon! This is the gift given to Dorgon by Ben Bo! You can tell him that the conditions for the negotiations of the Ming Dynasty are only one, and I will be honestly returned to the outside of the pass and return them to the capital of the Ming Dynasty! If Dorgon doesn't know the truth, the next time he puts it in the box will be his Dorgon's head!"
Then the Jinyiwei released Ning Wan and the others, and sent them to a boat, and asked them to take them with them along with the gifts given to Dorgon, and took them to the capital to give them to Dorgon.
This month later, Dorgon received a gift from Zhao Peng: a two-kitten brocade box.
I opened the box and it was the heads of Zakana and Chen Hongfan.
Seeing the head he brought back, looking at Ning Wan, who was kneeling on the ground and wrapped in gauze on his head, Dorgon asked, "Sir Ning, why are you wearing gauze on your head?"
"The Regent Prince is the master of the slave. When he was on the Ming Dynasty, he was sent to the Ming Dynasty by the Jinyiwei and was thrown into the imperial prison by the Jinyiwei. The slaves were imprisoned in the imperial prison for one night and suffered enough. The next morning, the Southern Barbarian dragged Beizi's Master Zakarna out of Lingchi, for three days! The slaves were forced to watch the barbarian Lingchi, Mr. Beizi, during the day, and were imprisoned back to the imperial prison for suffering at night. On the third day, Mr. Beizi died. The barbarian cut off the ears of the slaves and put the slave back to report to the prince. "Ning Wan, I knelt on the ground and cried about the atrocities of the Jinyiwei.
Dorgon asked, "What did the barbarian ask you to tell me?"
"The barbarian prince's prince Zhao Peng said, "Your Majesty, please give up the capital quickly and retreat to the outside of the pass, otherwise, otherwise..." Ning Wan said hesitantly.
"Otherwise, what? Say it quickly!" Dorgon roared.
"Prince, please spare me. What the barbarian said is very unreasonable and very unpleasant. I really don't dare to say it." Ning Wan and I kowtowed repeatedly.
"Say, I told you to say it!" Dorgon slapped the table.
Ning Wan, I continued tremblingly: "The man said, if you don't return to the outside of the pass, the next time you put it in the box is, your head, your prince."
"Hahaha!" Dorgon laughed in anger, "The barbarian has the ability to take the king's head? Take Xi'an and immediately drive the troops south. I must slaughter Jiangnan! Lord Ning, you go down first!"
"Yeah!" Ning Wan and others knelt on the ground and beat him up, and retreated.
After walking out of the harem, Ning Wan, I met Hong Chengchou, who was about to enter the palace at the Meridian Gate.
"Mr. Ning, come here for good health!" Hong Chengchou saluted Ning Wan.
Ning Wan, I returned the gift: "Mr. Hong, I am on an envoy to the Southern Barbarians. Who knew that the barbarians were so rude that they were very rude. On the first day, they were sent to the imperial prison by the barbarian Jinyiwei. Beizi's master Zakana was cut into pieces by the barbarians, and I was also cut off one ear!" As he said that, Ning Wan, I pointed to half of my bandaged head.
"The barbarians bully people too much, it's simply outrageous!" Hong Chengchou said angrily.
"The Regent said that once Xi'an is taken down, he will immediately lead the army to Jiangnan. If Jiangnan is captured, he will definitely tear the barbarian Zhao Peng's body!" Ning Wan said hatefully.
Hong Chengchou said: "Mr. Ning, the prince summoned his subordinates to the palace, which was the matter of ordering his subordinates to serve as the governor of the five provinces."
The so-called five provinces are the five provinces of Shaanxi, Henan, Hubei, Pianyuan (Hunan), and Anhui. Although Pianyuan south of the Yangtze River is still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, Dorgon has already regarded it as a treasure.
