Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 250 See through the trick
There is ironclad evidence in front of him, and the Manchu Banners officer can't deny it even if he wants to.

He opened his eyes wide, pulled out his saber and stuck it in a bag of military rations, and the white rice inside flowed out like water.

He said angrily: "Look at what kind of rice this is, it's rice from outside my hometown, which is full of people!"

I saw that the rice was relatively short and round, and each one was crystal clear, like thin pearls.

The green battalion soldiers always eat Jiangnan rice, which is whiter and slender than these rice.

He didn't lie, this is indeed a meter outside the pass.

And what he said immediately aroused public outrage, "Are you Han people worthy of our good rice?"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers in the green battalion were all boiling.

The status of the Han soldiers was not as good as that of the Manchus. As long as the food and clothing costs were much lower than theirs, they were inferior to their military supplies.

After all, the military exploits of the green battalion in the past two years have been seen by the emperor, and all the supplies have gradually become on par with the Manchu Banners. Who would have thought that this guy would come to humiliate them!

"Who didn't fight for the battlefield of the Qing Dynasty, why don't we deserve to eat it!"

A loud shout broke out among the surrounding soldiers of the Green Battalion, and then the angry words could not be contained like a flood bursting an embankment.

"We just came back from the bloody battle in Horqin, how about you?"

"You do less work than us, and you eat better than us. Why?"

"Why don't we deserve to eat the rice outside the pass? Haven't you eaten the grain of our Han people?"

The more these words were said, the more excited the group became, and there was a faint momentum of tension.

Chen Wenyi shouted, "Okay, no arguing."

To say that the people outside the pass belong to the Manchus and the people inside the pass belong to the Han people, which involves sensitive political issues.

This word spread to the imperial court, and the soldiers of the green battalion couldn't please them.

The Man of Eight Banners officer swung a knife and pointed at Chen Wenyi, "Okay, is your green battalion going to rebel?"

The knife almost pointed at Chen Wenyi's face, he dodged back lightly, and then pinched the handle of the knife that was shining with cold light with two fingers.

With a hook of his wrist, he hooked the knife two points in front of him, and then grabbed the handle with his other hand.

It was too late to say it, but the big knife was already taken into Chen Wenyi's hands before people saw it clearly.

He casually threw it aside, and the knife drew an arc in the air, scaring all the Eight Banners soldiers over there to hide.

"You'd better be careful, the sword has no eyes. You can't afford the following crimes."

He stopped the complaints of the soldiers of the green battalion just now, but the officer of the Eight Banners thought he was showing weakness, so he swung his knife at him directly.

He didn't want his soldiers to be wronged and let people catch him, but he would never condone Man Baqi's wanton bullying.

If that knife really left even the slightest wound on Chen Wenyi's body, these Manchu Eight Banners soldiers might not be able to leave the green camp alive today.

"Since the Ministry of War sent these military rations to the Green Camp, there must have been an order. Even if it was really sent by mistake, it is the fault of the Ministry of War. What are you doing to the Green Camp?"

"If you want to take these rations, you can leave, let the people from the Ministry of War come and get them. As for you..."

He smiled coldly, "I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications."

Regardless of whether it is wrong or not, it is most appropriate for this matter to be handled by the military department responsible for allocating military rations.

"You green battalion, are you trying to fight against us?"

The officer narrowed his eyes in a defiant manner.

Chen Wenxin tugged on Chen Wenyi's sleeve quietly, feeling a little suspicious.

This officer's position does not seem to be as high as Chen Wenyi's, and the manpower he leads is only 50 to [-] people, which is far from the point where he can snatch the rations.

But he has been provoking without fear of death.

It looked like he was afraid that Chen Wenyi's temper would be too good and tolerated them.

How can anyone take the initiative to seek death?
I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems, and there must be someone behind it.

Chen Wenxin stepped forward with a smile, "What is this lord talking about? The Eight Banners are naturally more noble than the Green Camp. You can take the military rations if you want, even if you want to exchange them with some old sesame seeds and rotten millet."

She waved her hand, as if she didn't care about the rations.

"Come here, tie up the rations as they are, and let these adults who are full of Eight Banners carry them away."

She couldn't believe it, these thirty or fifty soldiers didn't even bring a few carts, how could they take the rations?

The soldiers of the green battalion became anxious when they heard this, thinking that she really asked them to take away the rations.

Because Chen Wenyi was here, they dared not speak.

The officer of the Eight Banners was even more depressed than the soldiers of the green battalion when he heard this. He was here to provoke trouble, and he brought such a small number of soldiers here to be beaten.

Once the word spread that Manchu Eight Banners soldiers were besieged and beaten by soldiers from the Green Battalion, bullying the Manchus with the Han would definitely anger the Manchu ministers in the DPRK and China.

At that time, Chen Wenyi will be in charge of the green battalion, so naturally he will not be able to please him.

Who would have thought that the two eldest brothers of the Chen family would still be stubborn, but the fourth child was actually a coward who missed his big deal!
Pulling rations?
He brought so few people, how could he finish it?
"Since my lord is not willing to report to the Ministry of War, second brother, why not use your post to invite Lord Minister of the Ministry of War to come and be a witness. Our army rations have indeed honored the Eight Banners."

"Little table, please go and invite the elder brother and the prince. I said earlier that I would come to the green camp, and they wanted to come with me. Now it's just time for them to see the majesty of the Eight Banners."

As we all know, Chen Wenli and Chen Wenxin are the brothers' attendants.

And because the Chen family has a diligent concubine in the palace, it is said that she is a talented woman who is not born in the world, and she can be a teacher to the elder brothers as a woman.

Therefore, Chen Wenli and Chen Wenxin became better friends with the elder brothers, and besides, the elder brothers are now living in Changchun Garden with their drivers, so it is not surprising that they can be invited to come.

The soldiers of the Green Battalion understood Chen Wenxin's intentions after hearing this.

On the surface, she said to let them take away the army rations, and she also said that she would invite the Minister of the Ministry of War, the prince and the elder brother to witness this matter.

In fact, these people are used to deter them.

——You want to get military rations?sure.Let everyone watch you take it, and after watching it, let's talk in front of the emperor.

At that time, let's see what you can use to cover up the crime of looting military supplies.

Since they want to rob, let them rob.

Only when the robbing is successful can they be convicted, and it is better to let them rob.

The small table replied: "Your servant will go now."

The officer of the Eight Banners saw the waist badge hanging on the waist of the small table at a glance. It was the waist badge for entering and leaving Changchun Garden.

Even if he is the son of the Chen family, he can't even have a badge for a servant to come and go at will, right?

Looking at his appearance again, bowing his waist and shrinking his shoulders seems to have become a habit, that posture is clearly that of an eunuch who has stayed in the palace for a long time.

The eunuch is not easy. Maybe this eunuch is the prince, or the elder brother lent it to Chen Wenli?
He hurriedly said: "Slow down, little brother, let's go slowly."

He personally stepped forward and blocked the small table, not letting him leave.

If this matter is really reported to Changchun Garden, they will not be able to please.

"Hey, what's the matter, you have to report to the garden? I won't take your food, let you eat it, and try the rice outside our pass."

Chen Wenxin sneered, "Aren't you outside the pass? Why, you and we are all soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, and inside and outside the pass, aren't they all from the Qing Dynasty?"

"What's more, this lord looks like he's only in his thirties. Have you ever been outside the customs before talking about it?"

She laughed unscrupulously at this full Eight Banners officer, and the soldiers of the Green Battalion also burst out laughing.

They can't fight all the soldiers of the Eight Banners. After all, they have a large number of people, so it is natural for them to fight.

Just because you can't fight doesn't mean you can't laugh.

It's best to annoy them and let them make the first move.

As long as Chen Wenyi is here, the soldiers of the Green Battalion will not dare to act rashly, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners will be at a loss.

"What do you know, you brat!"

That man was a little guilty, he was indeed born in the capital, and he has never been outside the customs since he grew up.

However, outside the customs is the hometown of Manchurians, and he still knows this.

Otherwise, why does the emperor have a capital here, and a Shengjing outside the pass!

Hearing the ridicule of those green battalion soldiers, his face turned green with anger.

Now that they have been humiliated, things that can be solved by talking about it, no matter how stupid those Han people are, they will not take the initiative to do it.

His purpose of provoking the soldiers of the green battalion to riot was a failure.

"You kid, you are so talkative. Is this what kind of benevolence, righteousness and etiquette you Han people have?"

With Chen Wenyi here, he didn't dare to make a move, so he could only talk about it.

The word he said was the origin of the names of the Chen family brothers, and it was the general rule advocated by Confucianism.

"I've given you all the rations, isn't it benevolent enough? Go to the small table and quickly invite His Highness the Crown Prince and Elder Brother over here, and let them watch us deliver the rations."

The little table pretended to invite someone again, and the officer who was full of Eight Banners stomped his feet angrily.

"Let's go, let's go!"

He raised his foot and walked away, rushing in front of the small table, preventing him from having a chance to invite someone.

The soldiers of the Eight Banners followed behind him disheartenedly, not daring to raise their heads, for fear of seeing the soldiers of the Green Battalion making fun of them.

They came swaggeringly, originally to provoke trouble.

Those rations were indeed good, but it was useless for them to rob them, and they got themselves into trouble.

According to the boss, as long as the people from the green camp beat them first, they will be beaten obediently, and each person can receive 50 taels of silver.

Seeing Chen Wenren's excited appearance and the grumbling soldiers, he thought it would be possible.

Who would have thought that Chen Wenyi and Chen Wenli would appear on the way, that Chen Wenyi was a General Wuji who was appointed by the emperor himself, so naturally his prestige was different from ordinary people.

That's all, even the young fourth child of the Chen family is very powerful.

It is said that the Han people are smarter than the Manchus. From this point of view, it is impossible for them to refuse...
