Since the time has dragged on to the time of application, it is too late to prepare for the entrance ceremony today, so Wang Shangwen and Wang Zongrong will set the entrance ceremony to be held tomorrow morning after asking for too high and pragmatic instructions.

In other words, the army will be stationed outside the city tonight. However, Gao pragmatically explained that Lu Youren, the Tumu of Siming Prefecture, who had made great contributions to the city, was responsible for public security and various preparations, and Wang Shangwen sent people to assist. Of course, it is better to say that it is to assist, but in fact it is better to say that it is to command.

The first cool night passed, and before the hour, Mingjiang City became lively.

The south gate, as usual, was opened on time. However, because of the entrance ceremony to be held today, vendors from outside the city were asked to enter the city in advance, but everyone was gathered together and became part of the entrance ceremony, and the usual polder market was temporarily canceled.

In this regard, the merchants who came from afar complained a little, but they were helpless. After all, compared to the various Tusi Lords and Tumu Lords in Guinan, they are completely humble existences like ants, and their little business is even less worthy of mention compared to the rituals that are said to be required by the Patrol Lord.

On the city wall, the brightly clad Guilin Wei soldiers held their heads high, as tall as javelins—this was carefully selected by Wang Zongrong from his own family, but the name of Guilin Wei was nominally hung up.

On the city streets, the crowd watching the excitement is already three floors inside and three layers outside, in fact, it is not easy to say that it is lively, many people are actually forcibly asked by Lu Youren and other local eyes to come to "cheer".

The patrolling Siming Prefecture wolf soldiers patrolled back and forth one after another, and the wolf soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order in place were even busier and sweaty.

The ground has been swept away, and the main street, which is the main thoroughfare, and the small square in front of the state yamen, have been swept clean overnight.

The viewing platform has also been erected, and it is located at the end of the main street, near the small square at the front gate of the government office. The stout wooden beams and pillars are tightly combined with rough tenons and tenons, and then wrapped around with dense ropes, which are absolutely sturdy and sturdy. In addition to a long line of tables and chairs in the style of "rostrum", there is also an awning made of thick cloth.

As soon as the hour arrived, the officers and wolves outside the city began to assemble. A group of high-spirited officers and soldiers and the wolf soldiers of Siming Mansion, under the guidance of the wolf soldiers of Siming Prefecture, entered the waiting area outside the city gate with a white line painted with lime.

However, at this time, they had not yet raised their banners, and people could only look at the dense team and guess, not knowing who was who, perhaps only the wolf soldiers led by Huang Zhiting and Cen Ling were the most recognizable. After all, the officers and soldiers are all wearing the same mandarin duck battle robes, and it looks like a sea of red, who knows which army comes from where?

The attitude of the people of Mingjiang City towards the army outside the city is complicated, they do not refuse the wolf soldiers led by Huang Zhiting to come to Mingjiang City, after all, Mingjiang City has been surnamed Huang for hundreds of years, Huang Zhiting, as the eldest daughter of the main family, came to quell the civil strife on behalf of the Huang Tusi, and no one dared to say that it was wrong.

But for the officials and soldiers, the attitude of the people of Mingjiang City is much more complicated, they also know that this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but after hundreds of years of Tusi rule, they have an unspeakable vigilance against the officials and soldiers, and even ostracize. It's just that not to mention the strength of the official army, it was the Huang Tusi who invited them to quell the rebellion, which is a bit ......

However, the affairs between the court and the toasts, these natives do not understand. After all, the toasts are sometimes as loyal to the court as watchdogs, and sometimes they say the opposite.

The toasts are even more complicated with each other, yesterday they were still the same clan and friends, but today they may turn against each other; Or yesterday was not a day, today we will work together, in short, these inexplicable situations are common in the intricate relationship between the toasts, and the people don't care about this, and they can't care about it.

For today's entry into the city, the local people are just watching a lively, after all, the usual life is as dull and tasteless as the water of the Ming River, and it is also a talking point to see a fresh.

At the end of the day, the wolf soldiers of the Huang clan of Siming Mansion began to enter the city, and these wolf soldiers of the Mansion took the lead in entering Mingjiang City with their chests and belly protruding and fully armed, but they were fierce and strong, but they really didn't have any stomachs to stand up, most of them were relatively thin, but this thin was not thin, but lean. As a certain marshal of the Red Dynasty described in later generations: The monkey in Guangxi is the Gui army, fierce as a tiger and as evil as a wolf.

In particular, this group of people had already had the opportunity to rob yesterday, but Huang Gongsheng's gang was actually killed by his subordinates, and they had to lose a chance to make a fortune.

Huang Zhiting wore a slightly smaller special cotton armor, sat on a horse under the escort of wolf soldiers, and entered the city with a blank face and no squint. Lu Youren saw her enter the city from afar, and shouted at the crowd: "Kneel down and see the eldest lady!" ”

In fact, Lu Youren only judged from the "man on horseback" that the person who came was Huang Zhiting. Because Huang Zhiting is wearing armor at the moment, he can't see men and women at all from a distance - unlike some film and television dramas, the armor in this year is completely men's - well, this sentence itself is also problematic, in fact, it should be said that Daming has no such thing as women's armor at all.

Although the armor on Huang Zhiting's body can be seen to be specially made according to her body shape, it is only the size of the match, and there is no distinction in the style at all, after all, the women who lead the troops are only the toasts in the southwest, how many can there be together? The development of women's armor is purely redundant.

The main street was full of local people, but Huang Zhiting didn't look at it, but was a little sad, and passed with a cold face without saying a word.

At two o'clock, one after another, ox carts and mule carts, dragging all kinds of general cannons, tiger squat cannons and other artillery, drove into the square in front of the Yaya in Mingjiang Chengzhou one after another.

The natives had just stood up, and they unconsciously knelt down - this was the heavenly artifact that frightened them into surrendering without a fight. This kind of thing is only available in the Ming Dynasty official army, no matter how powerful the toasts are, they have never caught these good things, I heard that if it wasn't for Master Lu seeing the opportunity quickly yesterday afternoon, he killed the second duke...... Kill the Huang Gong Sheng, and now Mingjiang City is about to be razed to the ground by these cannons!

This is time to kneel, kneeling "generals" did not exert their might yesterday.

Next, a large number of officers and soldiers wearing mandarin duck robes entered the city, these officers and soldiers did not look very mighty, tall, short, fat and thin, old and young, but at this moment their momentum is quite sufficient, one by one, they are proud of the imperial court soldiers, especially they have a unified mandarin duck robe to wear, at first glance it is also a little good-looking.

Then came the main event, as the natives watched as a group of knights, all dressed in brown shortfights and covered with armor, rode tall horses. These knights all carried the same beautiful bird guns on their backs, a water goose feather knife hanging from their waists, and some of the knights also had a wooden bow and two bags of quivers hanging from the buttocks of their horses.

In particular, these knights are all burly, which is far from the image of the local guards and wolf soldiers in Guangxi.

In terms of appearance alone, these knights are certainly the most striking today.

There is no doubt that these people are the guards brought by Gao Pragmatic from the north, they are not real horsemen, but "mounted infantry", selected from thousands of guards at that time, and it is normal for them to be burly and good-looking.

As soon as Lu Youren saw this team, he had already been explained by Wang Zongrong no less than ten times, and he immediately opened his throat and shouted: "This is the Guangxi Patrol Imperial Shi Gao Gong!" Kneel down and kowtow! Lao Tzu didn't say stop, no one is allowed to stop! ”

Everyone knelt down again, even with Lu Youren himself and the wolf soldiers around him.

Wang Shangwen, who was riding a horse and walking in a slightly backward position on Gao Pragmatic's side, glanced at it with satisfaction, and smiled at Gao Pragmatic: "According to the stage, the imperial court is so powerful, this is all the work of pressing the platform!" ”

Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "Tang Taizong said: 'Yidi, birds and beasts are also afraid of power but not virtue'. This may be reasonable, but these people are also my Ming people, but we can't treat them as beasts, in addition to showing the power of the court, we also want to let them know the benevolence of the court, and the two-pronged approach is the long-term law. ”

Wang Shangwen didn't care in his heart, but there was a look of approval on his face, and he nodded busily and said: "It's true, it's true." ”
