Chapter 606 Blackmail
Even if he was tied to the city gate to see the silence, Qiu Qianhu firmly believed that he had failed for the mountain.
He asked him to kneel down, but he insisted not to kneel. The guards had to kick his knees violently. He then knelt on the ground suddenly, shouting unconvincedly, "Hurry open the city gate and welcome my master into the city. He has endless magic power, curse everyone to die and drink the city collapse! If the door is opened now, the women and children in the city can still be preserved, otherwise the city will be destroyed and the corpse will be destroyed, and the sea of blood will be beyond your reach!"
"Ha," Chen Si saw him staring at his red eyes, his face full of madness, and he was talking crazy seriously, and he couldn't help but smile: "Then let's wait and see if we can witness your master's miracle at this time tomorrow."
"Don't wait until tomorrow!" Qiu Qianhu shouted: "My master will destroy you only in the evening!"
"Then your master must be able to shrink into an inch." Silent laughed: "Otherwise, it's not going to be able tonight. "What can I do? He is outside the city!" Qiu Qianhu still didn't believe it.
"Take him out and see, there is a hair outside!" After silence waved his sleeves, two soldiers lifted Qiu Qianhu and pulled him outside.
At this time, Nian Yongkang, Xing Yu, Chen Pide... It was Chen Futai. When he came in from outside, the three of them had a three-point joy on their faces and seven-point fear, he reported to Chen Silence; "Nine arsons appeared in the city. Fortunately, God blessed, the snow was heavy, and we were prepared for it, but the loss was lost and all were put out." "But the arsoners did not catch them." Nian Yongkang added.
"It's okay, step up the investigation and be vigilant." He smiled silently and said, "I'm not afraid that they will cause trouble again."
Xing Yu and Chen Pide said incrediblely: "Sir, do you have magic to make the demons mess up in advance?"
Chen Si was about to answer, but the guards pressed Qiu Qianhu in. Qiu Qianhu, who was still in a state of mood, was completely depressed. He looked at Chen Si blankly and murmured, "Why is this?" The others in the room also looked at Chen Si, hoping that he could solve the mystery.
Silently smiled and said, "This is thanks to the brothers of the Jinyiwei. They were very vigilant and arrested the messenger of the White Lotus Sect in one fell swoop, which allowed me to arrange it calmly."
Chen Pide asked Nian Yongkang, "Nian Qianhu, how did you distinguish those demons? I think they seem to be no different from ordinary people."
"In fact, there are still differences." Nian Yongkang said, "Although they pretended to be peddlers, they had straight waists, thin thighs and thick calves. They obviously walked often, but they did not bear the burden. I asked them how many years they had been in this industry, and they all said that they had been in three or five years, but there were no bars on their shoulders that were pressed out of the cargo..." He smiled at the craftsman again, "Then I made an excuse to say that the goods they brought had contraband, and the things were detained, and people could leave, but those people agreed quickly." He said in a deep voice: "For a real peddler, the cargo is the guy they eat, and it is related to whether they can survive. If they abandon them so easily, they must be just a Xibei goods under the guise of the cargo."
Chen Pide nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and exclaimed: "There are so meticulous thinking in a thousand households. I will remember you first in this battle in the future."
"The Master of the Ministry praised it." Nian Yongkang said humbly, "Although the humble master caught those people, they were just tools to send messages and did not know the content of the order. It was the adult who deciphered the secret words of the White Lotus Sect to lead the snake out of the hole. In fact, the adults made great contributions." Everyone said that Nian Yongkang was a character and his future was limitless.
Nian Yongkang's words attracted the terrified voice of Qiu Qianhu Taoist "What? Can you decipher my countryman, secret language?" Of course, this was asked silently.
"I just know a little bit of fur, and I still want to ask you for advice." Silently smiled, "I'm really curious about your slander."
"Don't you understand?" Qiu Qianhu was surprised by Taoist worker, "How can I forge my master's secret words?"
"In fact, it cannot be called forgery." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled, "It should be more appropriate to say that transformation should be more suitable for a while. After Chen Mo tried the four messengers of the White Lotus Sect, he obtained several "white lotus secret words," and Nian Yongkangbi found the corresponding case in order to decipher it. He knew very well that only by analyzing common information can useful results be obtained. Although these white lotus secret words have few symbols and are not rich in information points, they have common features for consideration... that is time! A clear and unmistakable command, no matter how many elements are omitted, cannot lack a statement of time.
But silence and bold determination, Xiao Qin was not necessary or capable of creating a unique language; the so-called white lotus secret language is likely to be a symbolic slander, evading the hidden meaning, reciting and referring to things, such as the kind of mechanic... Sand refers to private salt, sand holes refer to salt warehouses, etc., and Xiao Qin just expressed these meanings with symbols.
That is very likely, one to ten numbers are represented by ten different symbols, and then they appear alone or in combination to represent the corresponding date.
I felt that my speculation was basically based on shirkness, so I went to the limited eight pieces of information to verify... Except for the unknown one, the other seven pieces could determine the specific dates, namely, the first day of the lunar month, the fifth day of the lunar month, the eighth day of the lunar month, the eleventh day of the lunar month, but there are generally no 20 and 30th day of the lunar month, and they are replaced by two and three.
So silently guessed that there should be three duplicates among these patterns, then ten, and two, eight, and two and five, and two.
To draw these rules, then solve the symbols of Gou. Silence first assumes that the date comes up, covers the symbols behind, leaving only the first two digits, and then replaces those symbols with the corresponding time of the case. Finally, counting one and one comparison, most of them can match the upper number. However, the last one is twenty-four instead of twenty-five, so there are no two fives, but four and five.
Silence but did not negate this assumption rashly. When he returned to the event corresponding to this date, it was a village defection incident... and then he felt relieved. This kind of large-scale relocation of the whole village would inevitably be delayed and unrestrained. It was normal to have one or two days later than the prescribed date.
To be cautious, he compared the symbols behind and could not find such regularity. He finally confirmed: The symbols of the first two digits represent dates!"
Nian Yongkang suddenly smiled and said, "The day they moved must be twenty-two days." The two digits in this code word were the moon, which naturally represents a double-digit repeat date. In the thirty days of a month, only twenty-two days meet this condition.
Silently smiled and said, "Yes, the moon represents two, the horse's hooves represent one, and there is enough number to have a toilet.
Nian Yongkang paused and nodded convincingly, "Yes, these two numbers are enough." No matter what trick Xiao Qin had, just give him the date one day in advance, and the rest could be copied by the gourd, and the people who were in the dark could move one day in advance, but were exposed because no one responded.
Silence changed the secret moon of Fen Er to a horse's hoof, and then asked the two messengers who were eager to make contributions to draw secret places in various places in the city; Nian Yongkang sent people to stare in secret to see who would look at these code words. As a result, through this method, he targeted more than half of the spies, including Qiu Qianhu.
It was not that Qiu Qianhu was not invisible, but that he was too sensitive to his identity, so when he arrived in the alley, he was targeted by the Jinyiwei people.
There is only one opportunity, and I will never come again if I miss it. Xiao Qin's plan was discovered by Nian Yongkang and his extremely smart and clumsy words, and he was destined to have a big tragedy.
Many years later, even Bai Cangcang and exiled to Siberia, Xiao Qin could not forget the miserable defeat he witnessed outside the snowy Xuanfu City in the late night of the 22nd day of the 19th lunar month of the 40th year of Jiajing. Facing the fire-breathing eyes of the four Taijis, he was dumbfounded and speechless. The only thing that could be confirmed was that his plan failed.
"I want to kill you!" Huang Taiji danced at him angrily, and Xiao Qin couldn't avoid it and was whipped hard. Huang Taiji wanted to beat him again, but was stopped by his two younger brothers and whispered: "Do you want to force Bansheng to Kekule?" Kekule is the son of Altan's brother Ji Nang. Although after Ji Nang's death, Altan inherited most of his family business, there are still many loyalists who are loyal to Kekule. Moreover, Altan is not delicious and has a bad appearance, so he also demarcated the sphere of influence for him on the Dongchahar grassland. Kekule's strength is stronger than any of Huang Taiji, and the two sides are not very friendly and often fight for territory.
However, at this time, this name was the best medicine to calm Huang Taiji's anger. He threw away the horse whip in his hand and howled heart-wrenchingly at the towering city wall of Xuanfu Factory.
Despair! In this snowy winter twelfth month, we rushed over without any siege equipment. We originally hoped to get a big advantage and create a history that has been remembered forever. Who knew that not only was he turned away, but he was knocked by a stick and made his shit flow all over the place. Even the most optimistic Mongolians did not believe that they could get involved in Xuanfu City. They would not lose a lot of rice. It was shame and shame! If they just went back in shame, the La Taiji and the others could imagine Kekule's wanton ridicule, which was absolutely unacceptable. "At least, they had to beat them!" Huang Taiji stared at Xiao Qin fiercely and said, "Otherwise I'll give you to the Ming army!"
Xiao Qin smiled bitterly and nodded, "Okay, I'll find a way."
That night, the Mongols slept in the snow outside the city. Although the Ming army in the city was large and waiting for work, they had no intention of attacking.
With the character of a border army being less than more than more, and a person who is less than nothing, can make the Mongols fascinate. As for the battle when they go out of the city, it’s better to save money, how dangerous it is.
Standing silently at the top of the city, looking at the Mongolians sleeping unscrupulously in the snow, looking at the tens of thousands of armored men in the city, I couldn't help but sigh, thinking: "If you don't make any changes, you will really be destroyed..." But he could tell the difference between priorities and didn't say anything at this moment, and let them go.
There was no movement until noon the next day. The Ming officials in the city were very happy. They all said that the Tartars were discouraged and could not stay any longer.
Chen Mo thought this way, so he waited patiently for Huang Taiji to withdraw his troops. But at noon, he shot an arrow outside and entered the city. The defenders picked up the arrow and saw a letter attached to it, and quickly handed it to General Xing who was patrolling the city. Xing Yu saw that it was written by Huang Taiji to Yang Shun, saying that I came as agreed and had acted, so you should give me silver and food, right? Otherwise, I will give you your handwritten letter to the emperor.
The chief guard who interrogated Yang Shun, the person who sent the letter, learned that Huang Taiji did have a letter in his hand, and added Yang Shun's private seal.
After the news was confirmed, he remained silent for a long time. The civil and military officials in the room were all nervous and did not dare to breathe. They all knew that they were in big trouble now.
This unreasonable blackmail was not as simple as it seemed. In fact, it had become a serious political problem... The first reaction of everyone was naturally not to agree. But the Tatars sent Yang Shun's letter to Beijing, which made the emperor and the court shame. Then, for the sake of the court's decency, they had to accept the account and pay the Tartars the money.
Then just agree? Not to be sure. The Ming Dynasty was an eternal hard-working faction. It had a famous three-no policy, no peace, no compensation, and no cede land. Even if the emperor was arrested, no ransom was paid. This single letter seemed far from being compared with the emperor, right? In addition to asking for the agreed grain and silver, the Tatars also had to pay the Ming army to pay the more than 600 Mongolian cavalry who were killed yesterday, and another 100,000 taels of silver! Who can afford to pay so much money? Even if you can afford it, you can't give it, then you won't be Qiu Luan, who bribed the enemy and begged for mercy? Who dares to bear this responsibility?
So no one dared to say anything, looking at the silence, hoping that he could take the responsibility... or take the blame.
Silence had long been used to taking on everything, and there was no panic at all. His brain was still awake, and he smiled at everyone, "This Huang Taiji is quite good at experiencing problems."
It's right.
Everyone agreed and said, "Master, it's no problem to deal with the Tartars." "I'm not a good idea, I can only do this and continue to give orders. The officials were stunned and wished they could take him as their teacher and ask him for advice on the way of the black man.
Xiao Qin had such an idea for Huang Taiji, so the Mongolians set up a tent outside the city and waited for the Ming army to reply.
When it was dark, an arrow shot down from the city. His subordinates showed it to Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji didn't know Chinese characters... Of course, he didn't know Mongolian. He asked Xiao Qin, "What does it mean?"
Xiao Qin said with a sinister face: "They said that the two armies were fighting and doing everything they could do. Yang Shun's letter was a strategy to lure us to come, and it should not be used as evidence for asking for money... Their emperor was very wise and only laughed out loud."
"Bastard! Shameless!" Huang Taiji cursed: "With the black and white text and stamped, how can he not count?" No matter how much he negotiated, Xuanfucheng ignored it and just thought he was crazy about it.
"Let's find a way! You idiot!" Huang Taiji was so angry that he treated Xiao Qin as a punching bag and cursed: "If I can't think of a way, I'll send you into the city now!"
Xiao Qin nodded helplessly. He was actually ready to make a move, but he was too despicable, so it was useless.
The next day, Chen Si had just gotten up and Sanqi walked in and said, "Sir, go and have a look. The Mongolians are so hateful!"
When he was silent, he put on a cloak, climbed up the city tower, and looked out, he saw the Mongolian cavalry driving thousands of Han people to the distance of the bow and arrow on the city. The Mongolian soldiers held bow and arrow in a fan shape surrounded the panic-inhabited people. The people were men, women, old and young, and supported and protected each other, as if they were from the same place.
The crowd was originally crying, but the Mongolian soldiers mercilessly shot and killed several men, and it was silent and silent.
Then he heard a voice and said to these ordinary people loudly: "There are injustice and debts. If you hate them, you will hate your own people who will never save them in the city. We only want to get back our money, let them go if they get the money, and kill people if they can't get it!"
As soon as the words were finished, the Mongolians began to kill people again... They deliberately wanted to vent their resentment and anger these days, and they always scared the people to death. They teased enough before they slashed and killed them.
He didn't give up after he was killed, but he had to take off his head, lift it up with a knife, and kicked it around and play "Beast!" Seeing this scene, Chen Si's eyes were bloody, and he punched it on the bricks, and blood immediately collapsed. Xing Yu, who was next to him, said: "Sir, your hand is bleeding." As he said that, he was about to go forward to bandage him, but was pushed away by Chen Si's rough hand.
