Chapter 146 Galdan's Fortune and Misfortune
Since he was from the attendant's room, there was no such thing as Li Junwei falsely circulating the imperial edict, but this order really made Li Junhua feel strange. He thought for a moment and asked, "You often walk in front of the imperial court to hear about secret matters, have you ever heard of this man Galdan?"
Lin Junhong thought for a moment and shook his head seriously: "I have never heard of it. I am waiting for the prince here, and I also want to ask who this Galdan is, and it is worthy of such an order from the emperor."
Li Junhua sighed and said, "You don't know, I don't know, but the third brother knows it clearly. He has always been by the emperor recently. Sometimes, the two of them are not allowed to get close to the servant room when they talk."
Lin Junhong thought that the prince wanted to say something, but when he said it, it came to an abrupt end. Li Junhua suddenly laughed: "Forget it, the third brother and his father have some secrets, and it is also between father and son. Oh, I heard from the third brother that Galdan is a hero and comes from the family of the chief of the Junggar tribe. The current Junggar Khan Sengge is his brother. When he was young, he went to Tibet to practice Buddhism. The two great Buddhas in Tibet were his master. The third brother said that if this person is not eliminated, there may be a great disaster in the future."
"Is this what the third brother said?" Lin Junhong asked in a slight sense.
Li Junhua nodded, but Lin Junhong asked again: "Really? It's really the third brother's original words, it wasn't the emperor who asked him to pass on it?"
"At that time, the father was having lunch break, and the third brother said so after looking at the list. Why? Do you think this is like the father's words?" Li Junhua asked seriously.
Lin Junhong nodded. The words sounded like the emperor's words. As for the judgment of Galdan, it was even more like the emperor's behavior. Lin Junhong remembered it very clearly. When he was young, whenever the emperor returned to the base camp and talked with his father, he often talked about the heroes in the world, which was quite like the style of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's childhood sweethearts to discuss heroes. However, the emperor praised or criticized them all proved to be a true insight. This ability to know people was unprecedented and never came from the past. He was always envied by his father Lin Cheng. This ability is as wise as the prince and courageous as the King of England, but he has not learned the true teachings. Why did the third brother learn it?
"If you don't understand, you can ask the third brother. I look at his appearance and don't seem to be able to speak and listen to me." Li Junhua's voice was a little bitter.
Lin Junhong smiled: "Even your biological brother can't say it, let alone me, I'm so embarrassed. The third brother is pure and treats you and me sincerely. What he doesn't say must be what the emperor doesn't want to say."
Speaking of this, he had already arrived at the entrance of the East Palace. Lin Junhong clasped his fists and said, "Since that's the case, let's leave you and I'll go there. I'm going to Heilongjiang. I'm afraid I won't be by the prince's side this month. Please take care of it."
Li Junhua lowered his voice: "You want to go in person?"
"Yes, I don't feel at ease to hand it over to anyone." Lin Junhong said immediately.
Li Junhua took Lin Junhong's hand and said, "Since you go there personally, don't go and execute Galdan. Take him first, ask him clearly, and ask him whether he had any involvement with his father and the third brother. It's not too late to kill him again."
"This......" Lin Junhong couldn't help but hesitate.
The prince said, "Jun Hong, don't you want to know how the third brother knew that Galdan was a hero. Do you want to get rid of it quickly?"
Lin Junhong's heart was a little shaken. He didn't dare to find out the emperor's secrets, but he couldn't help but understand the secret of the emperor's success. This thought continued to ferment on the way to Heilongjiang City, and in the end, reason did not defeat curiosity.
Outside Vladivostok, coal mine.
What Galdan regrets most now is not infiltrating the empire's visit, but the escape after being imprisoned. The charge of his imprisonment was not to obey the guidance of the sheriff. This crime was not too big or too small, and he could redeem it with some money. Of course, Galdan had no relatives in Heilongjiang, so naturally no one paid for him. But even for labor reform, it only took three months at most. However, at that time, Galdan was very capable and believed that he was wronged and did not understand these. He chose to escape on the third day after entering the labor camp. As a result, because he did not have an ID card, he fled north to Humal and was caught again. The crime of escape from prison became much heavier. As a result, ten years of labor reform were transformed into a serious criminal, and such prisoners could only become furious in shackles.
Since then, Galdan lived a dark life. He was sent to a coal mine outside Vladivostok and became a labor reformer in the coal mine. Because he had a criminal record of escape from prison, he was locked in a shackles and lived in a cowshed that was just like a cell. His daily job was to dig coal. He formed a group with the other four people, implemented a joint seat system, and one person fled and all executed. He had been like this for nearly three years.
The heavy work, the differences in race and the disobedience of reality made Galdan, who was already skilled, extremely irritable. The people in the same group always monitored him in an instant, making Galdan's life difficult every day. The heavy labor bent his waist, but he could not bent his fighting spirit. Galdan planned to escape every day, which could limit his shackles on his feet, the four hungry wolves around him, the not very strong cowshed, and the strict control system in the appeasement zone.
He didn't care about the bullpen and the hungry wolf, but only the shackles on his feet made him unable to break it. After escaping, Galdan had already thought about the plan. He would not run north stupidly anymore. In that direction, there were checkpoints and checkpoints everywhere. The appeasement zone at the forefront would inevitably be checked. He wanted to go east to Vladivostok, which was already an imperial province, and it was a mixed residence of Hu and Han. There were many people with his appearance, and the control was not strictly controlled. And there were all kinds of ships leading to all parts of the empire, enough for him to escape.
With the sound of chains, Galdan sat upright from the pile of forage, and the rest of the people were the same. They thought they were going to work, but they never thought that it was not the guards who opened the door, but a few young people with gorgeous uniforms. One of them was quite young and asked, "Which one is Chahun?"
"I am, who are you?" Galdan took two steps back, a little worried. He thought about it. He had not done anything out of the ordinary during this period, so why did he attract people he had never seen before.
"Very good, you come out." The person who spoke was Lin Junhong who came from the capital. When Galdan came out with a smell of cow dung, he looked at it. At least his figure was similar to that in the information, Lin Junhong breathed a sigh of relief.
The information of Lin Junhong from Lifanyuan shows that a man from Chahui was carrying out labor reform in a government village in Heilongjiang, but Lin Junhong rushed to Heilongjiang City on a night. Only when he knew that this man had become a felony reformer because of his escape from prison and was sent to the mine slave. After many twists and turns, he found Vladivostok and finally saw the target. Lin Junhong felt a little relieved.
Lin Junhong had already learned about Chahun from the coal mine guards. He was a hard guy who was not good at eating soft and hard. He was a stone in the pit, smelly and hard. When he escaped and was caught, he whipped fifty whips and was almost whipped into a blood gourd without begging for mercy. Lin Junhong knew that Galdan was not the one who could tell the secret by torture.
"Send Chahui to take a shower and change his clothes." Lin Junhong smiled at Galdan and ordered that when Galdan was taken away, Lin Junhong ordered his subordinates: "Go to the archives and take out all the Chahui's related."
Galdan took a shower, changed his clothes, and got a sumptuous lunch, had enough food and drink. He met Lin Junhong again. This time, Lin Junhong made the point and pointed out his real name directly: "Master Galdan, I am very lucky that you are still alive. If you die or escape, it may cause a lot of trouble. Fortunately, you are now back to freedom, and the Empire has held a round of peace talks with the Qing Dynasty. In order to show friendship, we exchanged prisoners, and the Qing court called you for names, so I found this place."
"You want to let me go?" Galdan felt incredible. He thought that the only ending of his identity was death.
"Of course, Master Galdan, we will send you to Helin, but before that, you need to answer some of our questions truthfully..." Lin Junhong continued to induce.
"Wait, are you interrogating me?" Galdan asked directly.
Lin Junhong shook his head: "Of course not. Although it is a exchange of prisoners, you have been hiding the empire for many years. I always have to know what you have done. And you are a monk from Tibet. What is the purpose of going to Mobei? You have to figure out these things. We always have to consider the security of the empire."
Galdan was even more suspicious in his heart. Has his identity been exposed so thoroughly? Even in the Qing court, few people knew their true identity. Even if they wanted to replace prisoners, the Qing Dynasty should not tell their secrets from Tibet. The cooperation between Tibet and the Qing Dynasty could not be tolerated by the empire. However, the young man in front of him could ask himself without any scruples. Then there are only two possibilities. One is that the Qing Dynasty has been destroyed, and the replacement of prisoners is an excuse. The empire wants to use its identity to interfere in Tibetan affairs, or win over his masters, and the second possibility is that he cannot escape death.
No matter which possibility it was, it strengthened Galdan's belief in escape. He did not want to be a pawn in the hands of others, nor did he want to die.
"Since it's not an interrogation, please untie the shackles. You said that I am free now." Galdan shook the shackles for a while.
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Lin Junhong smiled and handed the key to Galdan.
Galdan was very cooperative, and he answered whatever Lin Junhong asked, without any intention of hiding it, and he said it in detail. Lin Junhong was very satisfied with his attitude, even the information he received now was worth the fare.
"Can you ask again tomorrow? I want to go to bed. Answering your question is more tiring than digging coal for a day." When the candle was replaced three times, Galdan couldn't help but say.
"The last question, Master Galdan, our emperor knows that you are very concerned about you in the list of prisoner exchanges. He asks us to find you and send it back intact. We are the ones who are not busy for the emperor's orders. Brothers and others want to know, why are you a Tibetan monk involved in our emperor? Please help answer your questions, and we can explain to the above when we go back." Lin Junhong pretended casually.
Galdan didn't know about this? He only heard this was the last question. If he answered it truthfully and said it had nothing to do, would he be imprisoned or killed directly? Galdan dared not go to gambling, pretended to be calm, and smiled meaningfully: "Sir, this is a secret. It also starts with the treasure medicine of Tantric Buddhism in Tibet. It's a long story. Let me think carefully. Don't say the wrong words. Let you listen to what you shouldn't have heard. Going back will be a sin of beheading."
Lin Junhong was deceived and was confused. He had already believed that it was definitely related to why Galdan was treated so specially by the emperor. Galdan was so nonsense and made the mysterious and mysterious, which made him even more determined. Seeing that Galdan was willing to say it, he promised him to rest for a night and talk to him tomorrow. Lin Junhong left the room and ordered him to take Galdan to the town first and find a proper place to ask. The coal mine was noisy and people came and went. If there were indeed secrets about the royal family, they could not be spread.
But in the middle of the night when Lin Junhong was awakened by gunfire. He put on his robe and ran out. He saw people coming and going in the room with Galdan locks up. Lin Junhong hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"Sir, Galdan's dog thing jumped out of the window and ran away!" one person replied.
"Nothing nonsense, there is a reservoir outside the window. How dare he jump? Isn't he afraid of drowning?" Lin Junhong cursed, but in a trance he remembered that there was no evidence that Galdan could not swim, but because he was born on the grassland and grew up in Tibet, his habits were similar to those of the Mongols. Instinctively made people think that he could not swim. It was precisely because of this consideration that Lin Junhong arranged Galdan in this water-based room.
"Chasing, go chase, gather the people in the mine, and see people in life, and die, and see corpses!" Lin Junhong looked at it and screamed.
Let’s talk about Galdan, who escaped from the coal mine, came to the mountains and forests. When it was dawn, he arrived at the roadside and observed that the road was black. He thought that the coal mine was specially used to supply coal for Vladivostok, so he walked along the road. Sure enough, when he arrived at the metropolis of Vladivostok, Galdan did not dare to enter the city, but followed the seaside to the wharf.
Galdan dared not waste time, and just wanted to immediately take a departing ship and die. He took advantage of the shortage of people in the morning and sneaked into the dock, grabbed a ship officer in the cargo station, held a chopstick and pressed it on his eyelid, threatening: "Tell me which ship drove the ship within an hour!"
Seeing that the man had a brand on his face, the ship officer knew that he must be a desperate and did not dare to provoke him, he pointed to a large ship: "The Blue Whale, it will be in a quarter of an hour. You don't need to check the documents when you get on that ship. Don't kill me, don't kill me!"
Galdan untied the shipkeeper's belt and tied him up, and said, "You better not lie to me. If the ship doesn't drive within a quarter of an hour, I'll come back and kill you!"
After saying that, Galdan walked towards the Blue Whale, and saw that the ship had three towering masts, and he was happy. He had heard that the three masts were all ocean-going ships. If you boarded this ship, you would definitely escape from the western province of the sea.
As he was walking, a team of sheriffs stopped Galdan, looked at his bare head and forehead mark, and asked, "Boy, your ID."
Galdan held his hands tightly and defended himself as he was aboard the Blue Whale while preparing to escape. But he never thought that when the sheriff heard that he was going to board the Blue Whale, he stopped checking. Galdan successfully boarded the Blue Whale. No one asked him for a ticket, no one checked the ID, and even provided him with food and bedding. Everyone on the ship seemed to welcome him and take care of him. Galdan couldn't believe it was true. It was not until the Blue Whale left the pier and was far away from the land that he believed it was true.
"Brother, where are we going?" Galdan asked a sailor.
The sailor glanced at him: "Don't you know where to go on the Blue Whale? Haha, let's go to America!"
"I have never heard of America. I have only heard of Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Suzhou, and America are far away from these cities?" Galdan asked for advice.
"Far, very far." The sailor said with great interest.
"How far?"
