Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Even Otto Braun himself did not expect that he would finally arrive in Beijing successfully.  Otto was deeply shocked when he looked at the towering city walls of Beijing and could not see the edges at a glance.  In Europe, castles serve both administrative centers and military purposes, and there will not be so many residents in the castle.  Otto, a shabby man with no experience or knowledge, only understood the residents of Beijing as the private property of the emperor, similar to servants and handymen, so he could not help but be more in awe of the ruler of this empire.  "Can I see His Majesty the Emperor?" Braun asked the captain escorting him in a low voice.  He once tried to seduce the captain, but the captain didn't like masculinity, and the result was counterproductive, and he was very rude to him along the way.  Of course the Spanish language general in charge of the translation knew about this, but with the attitude of not caring about the matter, he did not make any extraneous matters.  "Just you?" the captain spat: "Things like pigs and dogs actually want to meet the Holy Emperor? Bah!" The captain said it so vulgarly that the young general was embarrassed to translate it literally.  "You can't see the Holy One, but it would be nice to see the governor." This student has recently been assigned to the Jinyi Guard, so he knows something about the Jinyi Guard. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The scope of activity of the Jinyiwei was only in the capital, so under the commanding envoy, the commanding colleague, and the commanding officer, there were two fourth-rank envoys.  Nowadays, Jinyiwei quietly spread all over the country and abroad, so basically every province has a town governor, and every prefecture has a thousand households.  This is also the stage when official positions and official titles will be separated.  There are two governors in Beijing, with greater authority.  The governor of Beizhen is not only in charge of the collection and organization of intelligence in the capital, but also has the title of commanding the ministers. The official title is: Jinyiwei commands the ministers and leads the governor of Beizhen.  Jinyiwei has always been an emperor and a courtier.  Except for some special circumstances in the Yingzong Dynasty, other times the new emperor had to clean up after he ascended to power.  Moreover, this kind of purge is mainly concentrated on high-ranking officials above the governor's level. Thousands or hundreds of households who are actually working are not eligible to enjoy the purge treatment.  Until the Chongzhen Dynasty, the situation was somewhat special.  Because after the crown prince took over Jinyiwei, the emperor's personal army actually served the crown prince.  At that time, the official commander Luo Yangxing had already joined Donglu.  Other high-ranking officials may follow in treason.  Or he lived in seclusion, easily allowing Dong Palace's men to quickly grasp the core strength of Jin Yiwei and use it.  Now the Crown Prince has become the Emperor.  The previous Thousand Households and Hundred Households have naturally been promoted, and they have been promoted and given titles. Judging from the increase in administrative work, even if there is another emperor, they do not have to worry about being purged.  The only bad thing is that he can't pass it on to his sonbut Jinyiwei can be considered half of the military system.  It would also be an excellent way out for my son to attend a military college and become an officer.  What¡¯s more, the Military Intelligence Department now welcomes the children of Jinyiwei to join.  Qian Datong, the governor in charge of the Otto Braun project, is such an upstart.  Before the National Revolution, he was just a probationary household, with more than a dozen shabby-dressed guards and warriors under his command.  He fled Beijing during the national revolution. Because he was traveling with the emperor, he was unexpectedly taken to Shandong and was immediately appointed as a Qianhu.  Qian Datong believed that he had no special talents, but he somehow managed to achieve excellent results in exams year after year. He was responsible for spying on the Zheng family in Fuzhou and made meritorious deeds.  Finally, in the third year of Longjing's reign, he was transferred from Fujian Zhenfu Envoy to Beijing and took charge of Bei Zhenfu Secretary.  This time, the guard envoy Xu Dun assigned the Aoshi project to him without any special explanation, as if he had great trust in his ability.  Qian Datong didn¡¯t know what to do, so he decided to wait until he met someone.  When I met Otto Braun.  Qian Datong felt that this man did not look like a civil servant who had been serving documents for many years, nor did he look like the aristocratic male servant that the missionary said.  In his opinion, even a servant has dignity, but this person can be said to have no dignity at all.  He is more like a humble and helpless little husband.  It¡¯s just that the Thai figure makes him not ¡°small¡± at all.  After looking directly at him for about half a quarter of an hour, Otto Braun showed signs of collapse.  ¡ª¡ªThere is absolutely no willpower to resist.  Qian Datong leaned back in his chair and continued to stare at Otto Braun.  In his opinion, the decision to use this Taisi man was a waste of time, because he could not even steal information as a manservant.  Otto Braun did not dare to look at Qian Datong at all.  He placed his eyes on his hands, only to find that his legs were shaking unconsciously, as if they were spasming.  In this small dark room without windows, there were only him and this Ming Dynasty official in his forties. The two of them didn't understand each other, so no matter what he said, it would be useless.  "Sir, say something!" Otto finally couldn't help shouting.  ¡ª¡ªHe has collapsed.  Qian Datong didn¡¯t understand Otto¡¯s language, so he just glanced at it.hourglass on ?.  He shook his head and pulled the rope on the side, and soon someone came with orders.  "Ask him what he can do." Qian Datong said to Tongshi.  "What skills do you have?" Tongshi asked.  Otto Braun seemed to hear the sound of nature and said quickly: "I can speak three languages, German, Spanish, and English I can read some German. I am also familiar with the etiquette of the nobility I am willing  Do everything you ask me to do, and please don¡¯t kill me!¡± Just as Tongshi was about to translate, Qian Datong had already waved his hand and said, ¡°Let him stay in Ziming Tower for two days.¡± After that, Qian Datong stood up and left.  Go ahead without any sloppiness.  Tongshi was stunned on the spot and thought to himself: How do I know where Ziming Tower is?  Besides, I don¡¯t have the authority or responsibility to lead prisoners!  Fortunately, after Qian Datong left, two captains came in soon.  Tongshi took the attitude of conveying his wishes and did not delay the matter.  Although Otto Braun cannot understand Chinese, it cannot be denied that he has good language talent.  In the conversations between several people, "Ziming Tower" appeared most frequently. It was probably a certain place or some kind of punishment.  As he was taken into a Chinese-style courtyard, a three-story brick and wood building was hidden deep in the courtyard, with only a section of the roof exposed.  He guessed that this was the "Ziming Tower".  "Sir, please go this way." The Chinese who came out of Ziming Building spoke German with a Bavarian accent.  "Where is this?" Otto Braun seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and almost rushed to hug the Chinese man dressed as a servant.  "Ziminglou, sir." The man is like an aristocratic male servant who has been well-educated since childhood, gentle, solemn, generous and decent.  Otto Braun felt a little ashamed in front of him. He could hardly move his legs on the clean and smooth stone path.  After he came out of the small dark room, he enjoyed the sunshine especially. Now walking in this small garden full of mysterious atmosphere, he was even more attracted by the magical effect of changing scenery with every step.  "This is a pond." The manservant said solemnly.  ¡ª¡ªEveryone knows that this is a pond, and I also know that the fish swimming in it are.  Otto cursed in his heart.  "You have to learn to stand by the pond and feel the movement and stillness caused by the fish swimming." The manservant continued: "This can calm your impetuous breath and make you look like a person who is willing to sell his wife for a piece of bread.  "Cheap goods." Otto Braun felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, but when he thought of the small dark room and the Ming man who seemed to have a sharp knife hidden in his eyes, he couldn't help but shudder.  Don't dare to disobey in the slightest.  The manservant led Otto Braun from the fish pond to a bamboo forest.  It is said to be a bamboo forest, but in fact it is just more than ten moso bamboos planted on both sides of the path.  In this season, the bamboo leaves are no longer tender and slightly brown.  Only when the wind blows, the rustling leaves are willing to play the music of nature.  "This is a bamboo forest." The male servant said: "You should come here every day to listen to the sound of the wind. It is the concerto of nature, so that it can blow away the rotten smell on your body." "What on earth do you want me to do?" Otto  ?Braun couldn't help but ask.  He did like the position of his face on the pillow, but he didn't like being insulted like this.  "I want you to be a poet." The manservant said calmly.  Otto Braun was stunned and finally laughed: "Poet? Well, I have already admitted that I am not a real poet. I just read two poetry collections." "No, you  You must become a poet." The servant said seriously: "This is an order." "But" Otto was speechless. Poet is an identity rather than a profession.  It is impossible for someone to become a poet simply by studying.  "I am responsible for training you and educating you." The manservant said.  "You are a poet?" Otto was even more surprised.  "I am a secret agent." The manservant smiled and said: "Congratulations, you have the opportunity to become a member of the great institution of our great empire. If you can successfully pass the assessment, you will be able to join the Imperial Guard with honor." "If I fail the assessment  Well" "Please don't worry about what happens after death." The manservant laughed.  Otto smiled, but very reluctantly.  "Keep going forward. Get to know this place and get to know Daming." The manservant walked in front, acting like the master of this place.  Walking through the bamboo forest, there are also bamboo pavilions with vines and moss-covered boulder water tanks Otto was amazed that the Chinese were able to incorporate so many scenery into one place, making this a beautiful place that is only two or three acres in size.  The courtyard seems to have endless scenery.  Moreover, in the words of Mr. valet, every scenery is a spiritual bath for washing away vulgarity., and at the same time, he did not forget to stimulate Otto Braun's little remaining self-esteem.  "No matter what civilization you are in, you will always be favored if you wash yourself cleanly." The valet took Otto downstairs and pointed to the small door vaguely exposed behind the screen: "Go in from here and you will find the bathroom and toilet. You can  Let¡¯s explore it by ourselves first and see how to use it.¡± Otto walked slowly on the polished floor, the only sounds in his ears were his heavy breathing and the faint moaning from the floor.  He doubted what the secret agent instructor said. He was a secret agent!  Could the toilet and bathroom he mentioned be the real toilet and bathroom?  In his mind, the secret door behind the screen was like a gateway to another world, so weird that it made him feel timid.  (To be continued.
