Many rode out to see this entry, half expecting something spectacular, which would give them a change of thought. But they were grievously disappointed. Prince Ching merely appeared in a sedan chair, looking very old and very white, and with his cortege closely surrounded by Japanese cavalry, whose drawn swords gave the great man the appearance of a prisoner rather than that of an Envoy.
His fine presence, and frank, open manner, secured for him the sympathy and applause of the public, and in a very short time he also gained their respect and admiration by his wisdom and justice. The most important and formidable of his brothers was the fourteenth son of Kanghi, by the same mother, however, as that of Yung Ching.
His own reputation would be made by the capture of Soochow. It would be diminished and cast into the shade were another Imperial commander to defeat Chung Wang and close the line of the Grand Canal.

"Yes, sir. Ching could be going about very busily in all directions, showing himself a great deal, and there's no mistake about him." "No," said the captain, "there is no mistake about him."
