Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 367 Thank You Letter

After hearing Lin Yi's words, all the soldiers of the Ming army, men and women, laughed out loud. If their Master Lin really wanted to write another thank you letter to Hong Chengchou, it would probably be enough for the old man.

At this time, Lin Yi ordered people to follow him to shout, and when it came to the peace talks, Lin Yi had to pay him a few words back. After the two sides shouted to each other across the river, they reached a verbal agreement. Ming army camp.

Because the Qing Dynasty took the initiative to ask for peace talks with the Qing Dynasty, of course it had to take the initiative to talk to the Ming Dynasty, just like when the Emperor Chongzhen felt that he could not defeat the Qing Dynasty, and he must first settle down in the outside world, he secretly sent people to contact the Qing Dynasty for peace talks, so he sent people He went to the capital of the Qing Dynasty, but the peace talks ran aground because Chongzhen suspected that his fickle subordinates did not want to be scapegoats for the fall.

After the Ming army retreated, they set up camp again. At night, Lin Yi ordered someone to fetch pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Xiaoying loved to watch Lin Yi write, and diligently studied the ink himself.

After the ink was finished, Lin Yi held the pen in his hand, and after a little thought, he wrote out the belly that had been beaten during the day.

Ji Dong's brush calligraphy has been practiced quite well now.

Traveling through time, in the past eight or nine years, he knew that in the troubled times, brush calligraphy is very important, and not knowing how to write brush calligraphy is equivalent to being illiterate, because there were no hard pens at that time, only soft pens.

In his spare time, he practiced. Although he was not as good as those calligraphers, he also practiced a few tanks of water and practiced a few pens.

So now when Ji Dong writes, he is dotted like a peach, skimmed like a knife, brushed with dots, flamboyant, and soon a letter will be written.

In this letter, Lin Yi thanked Hong Chengchou for his righteous advice, and also thanked the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Regent Dorgon for training such good officials, and he suggested that the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and the Regent Dorgon promote him The salary was increased to thank Hong Chengchou for his ingenious plan, so that the exchange of the dead for the living could proceed smoothly, at least two whole bodies were obtained, congratulations, congratulations, and so on.

While writing about Xiaoying and Zhezhe, they giggled, thinking that their adults are really bad enough, they are so good at getting cheap, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dorgon must be mad when they read this letter.

After Lin Yi wrote it, he read it again, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Zhezhe and Xiaoying dried the ink, sealed it with fire tin, and signed the words "Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang personally" on the envelope.

Although this letter was a letter of thanks from Hong Chengchou, Lin Yi could not write it to Hong Chengchou.

Then he handed the letter to Zhang Hua. Zhang Hua took two sailors to drive a small boat at night. When he reached the middle of the river, he shot the letter to the opposite bank with a bow and arrow, and then Zhang Hua blew on the boat. Whistle so that the Qing army on the other side will not find him.

These whistles were really useful, and soon attracted a group of Qing soldiers to the river, and Zhang Hua hurried back in the boat.

These Qing soldiers followed the whistle to the river and saw some black shadows and a small boat in the middle of the river. They thought it was a spy of the Ming army, and they all drew their bows and shot arrows.

Zhang Hua hurriedly ordered the boat to be brought over and rowed back.Countless arrows shot into the water, making unusual noises.

Zhang Hua and the others disappeared into the night after returning to the shore.

The Qing army on the other side of the river saw these black shadows running away, and then searched the bank of the river with torches to see if there were any other spies, and soon found the arrow with the letter. The lover was stunned for a moment, picked it up and saw that the letter was addressed to the Queen Mother, they didn't dare to tamper with it, took this letter-carrying arrow, and rushed to report the letter to the front.

But Zhang Hua and the others did not go back at this time, but hid on the bank of the river, watching the other side secretly. Seeing the scene on the other side, they quietly withdrew back and gave orders to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi praised Zhang Hua a few words, saying that he was reliable in his work, and Zhang Hua happily went down to rest...

In the camp of the Qing army at the mouth of the Sancha River, someone rode a fast horse and delivered the letter overnight to the tent of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, a dozen or so away.

At this time, in the most luxurious yurt, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Dorgon, Hong Chengchou, Ning Wanwo, Fan Wencheng and others were discussing the negotiation with Lin Yi.

Ning Wan, Fan Wencheng and I were temporarily transferred by Xiaozhuang from Jingshili, 200 miles away.Now Empress Dowager Dorgon of Xiaozhuang is not in the capital, and of course they can't stay in the capital because of such a big event in the Qing Dynasty.

The current capital of the Qing Dynasty is a group of old ministers such as Daishan and Jierhalang, who lead tens of thousands of soldiers from the Qing capital to protect the young Shunzhi and stay in the capital.

The remaining tens of thousands of Qing troops were all pulled over by Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang and Dorgon this time.

This is a fortress against the Qing army in Sanchahe City, more than 30 miles away from Sanchahe, which is equivalent to the imperial tent of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

After Ding Gengtian, the big camp here was brightly lit, and groups of patrolling Qing troops walked around inside, heavily guarded.

In the big tent of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, they are discussing what conditions Ji Yi will put forward in this negotiation, how they should answer, what if they can accept it, what if they can’t accept it, how to bargain, this is negotiation, especially the relationship between the two countries. Negotiations between people, there is a big problem here.

At this moment, Zhang Jing, a member of the Qing army, hurried in with an arrow letter.

He was stopped by the general at the gate of the camp, and after layers of reports.The letter was in the hands of a young eunuch, who entered the yurt and handed the letter to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang respectfully.

The civil and military officials present didn't know what was going on, why did the little eunuch take a letter for no reason?

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang saw the beautiful lowercase letters on the envelope, and of course they all know each other now, because now they all know Chinese characters and speak Chinese, and now Hong Chengchou, Ning Wanwo, Fan Wencheng, etc. all suggest that the rulers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties should inherit the Han Dynasty. Made in imitation of Ming Dynasty, this is of course the credit of Ning Wanwo, Fan Wencheng and Hong Chengchou.

In recent years, their Qing rulers have come up with many good ideas, mainly these Sinicization policies.From Nurhachi to Huang Taiji to Dorgon now.

When Xiao Zhuang saw that the letter was addressed to her, his beautiful eyes were slightly startled, and he asked the little eunuch who sent the letter?
Soon the soldier who sent the letter was found. The official position of this soldier was Jialazhangjing. Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang asked about the origin of the letter in detail before opening the letter.

Empress Xiaozhuang carefully read the letter from the beginning to the end, and saw that she read the reader, her complexion began to change again, and her reaction was more intense than when she saw the corpses of Azig and Oboi in front of the two armies during the day .

The pair of beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows stood up again, the eyes were wide open, the face that was as white as jade turned from red to white and then from white to red, and the lips began to turn purple and tremble.

Now all the civil and military generals present, eunuchs and court ladies were all silent, they didn't dare to vent their anger, they didn't know what happened, why did the Queen Mother get so angry with this letter, what was written in this letter?Who wrote it?

For a while, the civil and military personnel present, including Hong Chengchou, Dorgon and others, murmured in their hearts.

In the end, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang pointed at Hong Chengchou with her finger and threw the letter in his face. Hong Chengchou felt that disaster had come from heaven again, but he still didn't understand what was going on.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang pointed at Hong Chengchou's chest which rose and fell sharply, without saying a word, and finally spat out a mouthful of blood.

This frightened all the civil and military officials, court ladies, and eunuchs present, and there was chaos immediately. Some people hurriedly called for an imperial doctor.After the imperial doctor came, he inquired about her condition, and then he checked her pulse, heard and asked her, needless to say.

Taking advantage of this rush, Hong Chengchou was trembling, holding the letter as if he touched a hot potato one by one.He still doesn't know exactly what's going on. What does this letter have to do with him? Why is the queen mother so angry after reading it?
He hurriedly opened the letter, read it carefully, and then he realized that the letter was originally written by Lin Yi, and in the letter Lin Yi praised his righteousness, his clever tricks, this and that, But these words of praise are like sharp daggers in Hongtu, piercing the nerves of his dignity.

In the end, Hong Chengchou's face was pale, full of frustration, and he fell to the ground, and the letter was also lost.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang spoke again, pointing at Hong Chengchou, and yelled weakly: "Come here, take this dog slave out and execute him Ling Chi!"

The soldiers from outside broke in, grabbed Hong Chengchou and left.

Hong Chengchou never dreamed that Lin Yi would do such a thing for him, killing people with a knife, and killing a donkey with a knife. This time he didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and waited for death.He knew that no one could save him this time, Ji Dong's move was too vicious.

At this moment, Duo ErGun came to pick up the letter.
