Chapter 555: Eye-opening Chongzhen
Since Guide Mansion went south along the Xiaohong River and entered the territory of Bo (bรณ) Prefecture in Fengyang Prefecture, Qianlongwei and his party were secretly relieved.
At this time, at the junction of Fengyang Mansion and Guide Mansion, layers of sentry posts were set up, and there were military patrols everywhere, and Chongzhen and his party were stopped as soon as they entered the border.
"What? Check your documents? โ
Wang Zhixin's eyes widened, his face was full of question marks, he really didn't know what the document was?
The officer of the Tianxiong Army who was in charge of patrolling said lightly: "Anyone who enters Fengyang Mansion needs to check their documents!" โ
Fengyang Mansion is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, is the bridgehead of the south of the Yangtze River, and is also an important passage from the northern provinces to the south of the Yangtze River, with an endless stream of businessmen coming and going.
At present, the plague has not ended, and all parts of Fengyang Mansion are still in a state of road closure, and the displaced people who go south need to register, arrange to enter the nursing home to check whether they have the plague, and then release them after observation, and only allow them to enter and not to leave, which is also to investigate the detailed work of the army and the construction of slaves.
Those who come and go are also subject to inspection and pass documents.
Seeing that the beardless middle-aged man was stunned, the officer said lightly: "If you don't have a pass, go to the nursing home for inspection, and the government will arrange food and accommodation for you!" โ
Arrange food, housing and work? Who are you in our family? Who is the master behind me?
Wang Zhixin was so angry that he stepped forward and scolded: "Presumptuous, I'm from the palace!" โ
Saying that, Wang Zhixin looked at the captain of the Hidden Dragon Guard, as if to ask again, it is all in his own territory, can he show his identity?
But the checkpoint patrol just watched them silently, and the leading officer did not panic at all, but said lightly: "Eunuch, right?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will personally register when he travels back and forth between Fengyang and Nanjing, and the eunuchs are more noble than His Royal Highness the Prince? โ
For Wang Zhixin and others, this move can be described as a great insult! They are the eunuchs of the celebrant eunuch, and the emperor is still here, and now he has to be registered and licensed?
In thousands of years of Chinese history, I have never heard of the emperor going out to register and apply for a certificate, even if it is a town guard eunuch who goes to various places, it is also an uncle-like existence, registration and certification? Is this going to be reversed?
Wang Chengen couldn't help it, took out the waist card in the palace, stepped forward and said: "Our family is the eunuch Wang Chengen, who is the master of ceremonies and the eunuch who holds the seal, and he is ordered to go south, so you can give way quickly!" โ
Hearing that the other party was really a eunuch, the surrounding Tianxiong army soldiers were even more angry, thinking that back then, the dog eunuch of the celebrant Gao Qi sneaked into death and did not save him, and also injured Lu Duchen in the book, so that the Tianxiong army suffered heavy losses and was almost surrounded and annihilated by the Eight Banners Army.
The officer at the head was a member of the veterans of the Tianxiong Army, his eyes breathed fire, and he said: "Don't say that you are a eunuch with palm prints, even if you are a saint today, it will not work!" Lao Tzu only obeys the military orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Get checked quickly! โ
Chongzhen, who had been silent in the carriage, heard this, his eyelids jumped several times, he already understood that Jiangnan was already a country within a country, and all of them were controlled by the prince.
Several dragon guards watched silently, and after hearing this, they felt much more comfortable.
Wang Chengen and Wang Zhixin were even more angry when they heard this, and they screamed angrily: "Presumptuous! Do you have the Son of Heaven in your eyes? โ
The officer sneered and looked cold, and shouted: "Wait for the eunuchs, do you want to rush through the customs?" According to the military order of the crown prince, those who dare to attack the sentry post will be killed! โ
As soon as the words fell, a team of Tianxiong Army armor soldiers immediately surrounded them and pointed the muzzle of the black hole at them.
Play big!
Wang Chengen and Wang Xinxin were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly retreated.
"Alright, let them check."
Inside the carriage, Chongzhen finally spoke, and he finally decided to forbear, after all, this is Fengyang, his ancestral land.
Wang Zhixin and the other three eunuchs were touched around with black faces, underwent a full-body physical examination, and reported personal information.
When several of the examining medics saw the rotating guns on their bodies, they changed the full body examination to a simple physical examination, just to see if there were symptoms of high fever.
They know that this type of handcuff is more advanced than the rotating muskets equipped by the officers, and only the special arms in the Tianwu Army are equipped on a large scale......
Chongzhen was also checked as usual and got a freshly baked pass, and his name on his ID was Zhu Xin, which meant to find relatives......
The officer waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can enter the country for a period of one month, remember that this pass is not transferable!" If it is found to be transferred or falsified, it will be imprisoned for half a year! โ
Chongzhen pinched the documents in his hand, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable, and several eunuchs looked at each other.
They continued to rush in Fengyang Mansion and went to Fengyang City, the central capital, and Chongzhen wanted to go to the imperial tomb of Zhongdu to worship the ancestors.
However, what he saw and heard along the way opened the eyes of this long-time deep palace.
Compared with the road from Jingshi to Fengyang, Fengyang Mansion is like another world, there is no hunger everywhere, there are no rebels and thieves, and there are no homeless beggars, stable, rich, and beautiful, everything seems so unreal.
The prefectures and counties that have passed, the villages are densely populated, the chickens and dogs smell each other, the roads are wide and flat, the state cities are neat and clean, the shops are prosperous, and the planning is only orderly.
The pedestrians on the road were full of red faces, strutting with their heads held high, and their movements were orderly and full of life, which was a world of difference from the numb, humble, and miserable images that I had seen along the way before.
Compared with the history books I have read, or the places in Daming that I know about the music, the situation in Fengyang Mansion is simply a paradise.
Not only Chongzhen was shocked, Wang Chengen was also stunned, Wang Zhixin and Han San were still better, the two of them had come to Fengyang Mansion a few years ago to announce the reward of the generals of the Tianwu Army, at that time, Fengyang Mansion had just developed and had begun to take shape.
Walking along the Huai River, the tall Lanzhou waterwheels on both sides of the river are endless, which really shocked Chongzhen.
There are dense wheat fields on both sides of the Huai River, and there are many hard-working people working in the fields, and the villages along the way are dense, the water conservancy is complete, and the planning is well organized, without the slightest clutter.
Chongzhen's heart is awe-inspiring, such a strong grassroots organization can not only ensure the harvest of food, but also organize the countryside to fight in wartime, even if there is a natural disaster or war, it can deal with it freely, this is the cause of the king!
A few days later, Chongzhen finally came to Fengyang City, the capital of the Middle Dynasty, which was called Haozhou City at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when there were five marshals of the Red Turban Army in the city, and Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was Guo Zixing's general, and this was also the place where he started.
Chongzhen personally rode his horse and ran, and couldn't wait to enter Fengyang City, where there were many people and cars on the road, and there were many people in fresh clothes and angry horses.
The prosperity of Fengyang City can be seen, all kinds of shops are lined up one after another, people and merchants are constantly coming and going, and there are some strange-looking Westerners, talking to people with their mouths.
