Four hundred and twentieth eight chapters intrigue(1/2)
Although I have to lead the troops away, I still have to eat the meal.
Prince Ajige held a big banquet in the former Qin Palace to see Wu Sangui off.
Wu Sangui was not worried that it was a Hongmen banquet, and only brought dozens of confidants to the banquet happily.
At least at this critical moment, the Qing court needed him, Wu Sangui. Otherwise, Dorgon would not have named him the General of the Southern Conquest.
Even if Ajige hated him so much that his teeth were itchy, he had to endure it. Otherwise, even if he ignored the overall situation, Dorgon would not be able to spare him.
So Azig would not do anything at this banquet, at most it would be sarcastic in words.
Wu Sangui didn't care about this at all.
He dare not say anything else, but he is a very good person with thick skin.
If you have a thick skin, you may not be able to find a match for it in the whole world.
But it was said that as the sun was approaching, a group of bigwigs came to the table one after another.
Ajige sat in the upper head, beside him was his confidants. As for Wu Sangui, he sat in the lower head guest.
Although it’s just a seating place, it actually has a lot of meaning.
Ajige used a different way to tell Wu Sangui that he would never want to supply food and fodder after leaving Shaanxi.
The Qing Dynasty did not have the saying of the visiting army. Wu Sangui was in charge of the troops, and except for the early food and fodder provided by the court, he had to find a way to do the remaining food.
But Wu Sangui seemed to have no idea at all, and smiled and picked up the wine glass to toast Ajige.
"I had a lot of trouble with Prince England during my time in Shaanxi, so I apologized for this glass of wine."
Azig's face turned green when he heard this.
Okay, you ate mine while you were in Shaanxi. Now you patted your butt and left. Just toast a glass of wine. Is this too cheap?
But as the saying goes, it is easy to reach out and not hit people with a smile. Even if Ajig wants to get angry, there is no reason. He has to raise his glass and nod, "Come on, drink this glass!"
After saying that, Azig poured the wine from the wine glass into his mouth in one sip.
Wu Sangui also drank it all.
"The wine glass used by the Han people is too small and it is not enough to drink it. Come and get the bowl. Now the King of Japan wants to go back with King Pingxi without getting drunk!"
Somehow, Azige wanted to drink with a bowl, and after ordering, a slave brought the bowl up.
Wu Sangui squinted his eyes slightly as if thinking.
This Azig is going to make him look ugly.
Everyone in the world knows that Manchus have a lot of alcohol, but they don’t know the reason.
But Wu Sangui knew.
That's because the Manchus became famous in the deep mountains of Liaodong, and were fishing and hunting tribes.
Because of the severe cold climate, they often need to drink to warm up their bodies.
Even Shenyang, known as the Little Jiangnan, has a very cold weather in winter.
Therefore, the habit of drinking was preserved after the Later Jin Dynasty settled the capital of Shenyang.
When the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, although the climate in Beijing was much warmer than that in Liaodong, the habit of drinking was fixed.
No matter whether it is a noble or ordinary armored soldiers, they like to drink, and they can drink several cups at a time. If they are not satisfied, they use a bowl and cowhide wine bag.
Now Ajige wants Wu Sangui to make a fool of himself at the wine table to humiliate him.
But Ajige didn't know that Wu Sangui was also famous for his good drinking.
When Wu Sangui was in Shanhaiguan, he never lost a drink with others.
This time Ajige's search for trouble was considered a tough problem.
Wu Sangui took it first after the bowl was filled with it.
"Come on, I'll respect Prince Ying for another bowl!"
"Um."
Azig responded without comment.
This time, Wu Sangui first raised his neck and drank the wine in one breath. Then Ajige also sucked the cow and started drinking it.
"happy!"
After drinking, Ajige did not forget to yell, and then looked at Wu Sangui with a provocative look.
He thought to himself that you are a dog, I want to see how many bowls you can drink. Today I have to fight wine to get you drunk.
"Come again!"
Ajige immediately poured the wine bowl after it was full, and Wu Sangui was not willing to be outdone.
"Your Majesty, it's so good. I haven't drunk such a strong wine for a long time."
Wu Sangui seemed to be in high spirits and said happily.
Ajige laughed and said, "If King Pingxi likes it, you can bring a few jars of wine away. I dare not say anything else but there are some wine."
Why can't Wu Sangui hear Ajige's implicit voice? Does this guy mean that the food is not fully allocated?
This doesn't work.
The troops and horses move first before they move their food and grass.
If there is a problem with the food and grass, it will be fatal.
"How dare the slave take Prince Ying's things for free? Otherwise, I will make a bet with Prince Ying. If the slave loses the bet, I will spend a lot of money to buy Prince Ying's wine. If the slave wins the bet."
Wu Sangui deliberately paused.
"How about winning the bet?"
Ajig asked anxiously.
He regretted it as soon as he said it.
Not to mention who will win this bet in the end, just his question just now was at a disadvantage.
"If the slave wins the bet, please ask the prince to allocate the military rations for three months to the slave."
Wu Sangui said lightly.
“Bold!”
Before Ajige could speak out, his confidant could not sit still.
He pointed at Wu Sangui's nose and asked, "Why don't you want a year for the military ration for three months? Do you know that the supply of military rations is tight now? The Prince of England is particularly kind to you that the food that can be given to you for a month. Don't be ignorant!"
Wu Sangui didn't have any anger and said lightly: "It's just a gambling game. Do you think Prince Ying dare not?"
"you!"
The confidant almost died of anger after a sudden surge. But what Wu Sangui said was right. Since it was a gambling game, it would naturally be different from the general situation, otherwise why would he bet?
"Okay, I will make this bet with you!"
A glimmer flashed in Ajige's eyes and he said very seriously.
"So count this bowl, I drink one bowl, and the King of Pingxi drink one bowl, and see who gets drunk first!"
"I dare not obey my orders!"
Wu Sangui waited for this sentence from Ajige, and stretched out his arms and said, "Prince Ying first!"
Ajige was not polite either. He ordered people to fill the wine bowl and immediately poured it.
Wu Sangui was not in a hurry and also drank a bowl with Ajige.
His pace was not slow or fast, but Ajige was a little agitated because he was anxious, but Wu Sangui's expression was always the same.
Both sides had drunk five bowls but had no intention of getting drunk. Ajige looked at Wu Sangui provocatively and said, "It is still time for King Pingxi to give up now."
Wu Sangui shook his head, "Since you want to bet, you have to bet to the end, otherwise how can you enjoy it?"
"Okay, keep filling up!"
Ajige has made up his mind to make Wu Sangui look ugly, so of course he won't let go at this time.
The two of you will be hard to solve.
When he reached the tenth bowl, Azige was already slightly drunk, but he still didn't want to stop.
Seeing that Wu Sangui's expression was normal and he was not drunk at all, his confidant whispered to Ajige, "Prince, let's take it a little slow first."
Ajige was furious when he heard this, slapped the confidant in the face and scolded: "Dog slave, dog-like things, you dare to take care of me? Get away!"
The confidant covered his hot face and felt very aggrieved.
But he knew that disobeying Prince Ying at this time had no meaning, so he responded: "Wa."
"Pingxi King, let's continue!"
Ajige's ruthlessness was also terrible. Wu Sangui didn't dare to underestimate the enemy and always drank at his own pace.
To be continued...
