A "Duo! Duo! ”

"Bell! Bang Bang! ”

The iron ruler and short stick in the hands of the Cao Gang volunteers gently tapped on the wicker hat on their heads very rhythmically. There was a muffled sound of Duoduo, and with this sound, hundreds of Cao Gang volunteers in blue shorts and shirts pressed up in a three-way formation in a very tacit formation, and gradually compressed the crowd that was trying to besiege Jiangnan Times to the side of the courtyard wall, and the people at the back of the crowd were already clinging to the white wall.

I don't know who took the lead, but those Cao Gang volunteers held the iron ruler and short stick in their hands and struck each other, making a sound of metal crashing bells. The green-skinned singles in the crowd heard this clear and distinct rhythm, and their pants were so scared that they were wet! These green-skinned and single-minded ruffians in Nanjing City all know that the Cao Gang is called Yiyong, but many of the leaders in it have been on the battlefield in Jinan, Changqing and Tartar real swords and guns. Many of them were promoted by the later grandfather of the country because of their military merits, and became officials of the sixth or seventh grades. Later, the Cao Gang discussed that these gangs who had been on the battlefield would be gathered together, and they would be extorted by the Department of the Art of War, and they would drill in accordance with the training methods and formations in the army, and pay them generously for rations and military salaries. Every time the Cao Gang has something to do and needs to charge into battle, it is where they come in. According to their habits, before each move, they would make a rhythmic tapping sound with the weapon in their hand, which gradually spread in the city of Nanjing. When the gangsters heard this, it was as if they had heard the death knell ringing, and had seen the bull and the horse come to invite them to eat wine in the presence of the king of Yama.

However, it seems that there are more gods in the sky today, and these gods are in a good mood, and the bull-headed horses don't dare to come out to make a mistake. In front of them, these Cao Gang volunteers just tapped the weapons in their hands, making the originally chaotic scene become quiet. It's more than quiet, it's almost a dead silence. Fang had already climbed to the top of the ladder, and several young bachelors who were about to enter over the wall quietly slipped down the ladder and got into the crowd while no one was looking.

The entire alleyway was quiet except for the occasional sound of the north wind passing through people's ears. In the courtyard of the nearby residents, two children's cries were heard from time to time, and they were quickly stopped by their mothers. The people present completely lost the high-spirited feeling of pointing out the country just now, looking at the strong men opposite, and then looking at the guys in their own team who could sweep Fang Xuan with a pen and a pen, and then they understood why they could only raise their eyebrows on the paper and unsheath the sword.

Just when people's nerves were about to collapse, the team of Cao Gang volunteers on the opposite side suddenly flashed a passage to both sides, and a middle-aged man dressed in a long robe walked to the front of the team.

"In the capital city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you and others are gathered here, fighting with open fire, what are you going to do? Is it possible to rebel in this city of Nanjing?! ”

Seeing that these Cao Gang Yiyong did not act immediately, a few leaders knew that there was probably some room for a turn in this matter. Whatever! Heroes don't suffer from immediate losses, as long as we don't suffer from flesh and skin, even Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, has a time when he is humiliated by his crotch, and Han Gaozu is even more besieged by Baideng, and he has to swallow his anger and be pro-Huns. Compared with them, what are we by being angry for a while and leaving a useful body?!

"We are passing by here, and we are going to Xiaolingwei to pay tribute to Emperor Taizu." In a hurry, he found a reason for himself, regardless of whether this reason could be established.

"Go to the filial piety tomb to pay tribute to Emperor Taizu? That should be Chaoyang Gate (now Zhongshan Gate)! How did you get here? "Whoever comes does not debunk the clumsy excuses of the people, but points out the fallacies of their ways.

According to the strategic policy proposed by the strategist Zhu Sheng to Zhu Yuanzhang, "build a high wall and accumulate grain and slowly become the king", the Nanjing Ming City Wall was built in 1366 (Yuan to Zheng twenty-six years), and all completed in 1393 (Ming Hongwu twenty-six years), mobilizing the country's 1 department, 3 guards, 5 provinces, 28 prefectures, 152 prefectures and counties, a total of 280,000 migrant workers, about 350 million city bricks, lasted 27 years, and finally completed the pattern of the four city walls of Beijing and Tianfu. The city wall of the capital winds for 35.3 kilometers, which is the largest existing city wall in China, the largest city wall in the world, and the largest city wall in the world, and the outer city wall outside the capital is more than 60 kilometers, which is the largest in the history of the world.

If you want to go from the city to the filial piety tomb outside the city to pay tribute to the Taizu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, you have to go out of the city from the Chaoyang Gate, the easternmost of the thirteen inner city gates, and pass through the urn city to go to the filial piety tomb. If people outside Nanjing want to visit the filial piety tomb, they must go through the Qilin Gate of Waiguo and enter the city. This is also the peculiarity of Nanjing City, the tomb of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty is separated from the palace city by the Chaoyang Gate. Probably because Zhu Yuanzhang was not worried about what his children and grandchildren would do with the disasters he had worked so hard to bring down, so he supervised them not far from them.

However, these people in front of them said that they were going to pay homage to the tomb of filial piety, not to mention whether they had the qualifications to go to the auspicious place of their ancestors who were heavily guarded, but that was to say, they were going to the foot of Zhongshan outside Chaoyang Gate to pay homage to Emperor Taizu, but they never went out of the city, just bumped into the city everywhere, and ran to the door of the Jiangnan Times to make trouble. This reason suddenly made many idlers who were watching behind the Cao Gang Yiyong boo. This is clearly nonsense! Just like during the Wenchuan earthquake, the rescue team of the devil and the stick did not go to Wenchuan, Beichuan and other places where the disaster was serious to carry out rescue, but went to Mianzhu, Mianyang and other wind tunnel groups, test bases and scientific research institutes to spy on the ghosts.

Of course, what these guys in the name of international humanitarianism do will be whitewashed and covered up by the domestic virgin, saying that they have gone the wrong way, that your country's navigation equipment is backward, that there should be no secret pair of international friends who come to help us, and so on.

Coincidentally, shameless behavior and shameless means were not invented by Japan and South Korea, it can only be said that they were influenced by the essence of Chinese culture.

"Why don't you go to Chaoyangmen?" Faced with the questioning of the leader of the Cao Gang, the people were also a little dumbfounded. However, in the end, it is a scholar, in line with the principle that friends of the dead are not dead and poor, several leaders among the people exchanged looks with each other very tacitly, and deducted the black cauldron on those green-skinned gangsters in unison!

"Ahh We spent money to ask you to lead the way to the Taizu Mausoleum for us to pay respects, how did you take us around the city? ”

"Exactly! And took us here! Mo Fei and other accomplices are fighting in the open fire here, and they want me to wait for the saint disciples to be accomplices such as you?! ”

In the end, it is a disciple of the saint's sect, and this method of transferring flowers and sticking wooden buttons and hats to smash the black pot is better than blue. After a few words, he took himself out, and stood there with a righteous and innocent face, drawing a clear line with the gangsters who had just climbed the wall and smashed the door under their applause.

"I'm your mother's!" A few gangsters are about to jump to scold the street, and they have seen a lot of this kind of betrayal of each other in the rivers and lakes, and they have done it one by one. However, I didn't expect that people who originally thought they were scoundrels and shameless, but didn't want to read the books of sages, didn't even blink their eyes when they betrayed their teammates. And the sale is so righteous and awe-inspiring!

The people who were born on the right path of Kejia neatly separated themselves from those hired gangsters who rushed to take advantage of the fire to rob after hearing the news, so that these brave men of the Cao Gang could recognize them at a glance, so as not to accidentally hurt such a good reading seed of their own.

A group of Cao gang volunteers had a mocking smile on the corner of their mouths, and the hungry tigers rushed over the people to the green-skinned singles, dragging them to the ground horizontally and vertically, with an iron ruler and short stick in their hands, and kicked them fiercely, and in a blink of an eye, those green-skinned singles could only hum on the ground.

"Anyway, these are the lead party you've hired to lead the way. They are here to make a nuisance, and you are also to blame. For the sake of your face, which is in a hurry to take the exam and is not familiar with the situation in Nanjing, there are two roads in front of you. One way is to apologize to the sufferer, and take the silver out to repair the house for the sufferer. The other way is to go with us to the yamen of the Nanjing Garrison Mansion to explain what happened here. When I got to the guard grandfather, I told the truth, and I don't think you have anything to do. ”

The words of the leader of the Cao Gang made the people consciously choose the first path.

The first solution, we only need to lose some silver and walk. Then change positions and continue. However, if you go to the garrison yamen hall, everyone knows that the current Nanjing garrison yamen is the second son of the Li family. You go to his aunt and aunt to make trouble, can he easily let you go? Not only do we have to eat the flesh and skin, but we also have to send an official document to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, saying that we are gathering people in Nanjing to make trouble, disturb the place, and detain the dignity of the imperial court.

As a result, this group of reading seeds consciously chose to lose money.

When everyone learned about the loss of Jiangnan Times, they couldn't help but grin one by one. In a short period of time, the people caused tens of thousands of silver dollars to be lost here?

"It can't be!" Some people's eyes are red, and they don't know whether they are anxious or angry.

"How could it not be? Not to mention that your people threw torches into the yard and burned the furniture and furnishings in our yard, they also burned a lot of the big white paper on which we were going to print newspapers, and the pages of the newspapers that were ready to be published were also destroyed by you, tens of thousands of silver dollars. If you follow the meaning of the newspaper colleagues, you must be sent to the garrison yamen to see the officials! ”

On the one hand, they threatened to send them to the garrison yamen to see officials, and on the other hand, the Cao Gang volunteers were eyeing them, and they secretly scolded this shameless immortal jumping method, but they had already thrown this incident to the clouds of heaven by themselves. In desperation, he could only take out the silver, bills of exchange, and even the jade pendant on his waist, and the fan in his hand to offset the compensation.

For the citizens of Nanjing, for a long time, it became a scene of after-dinner conversation, and the scene appeared on the streets of Nanjing.

On both sides of the street, on one side were the single-skinned gangsters who had been beaten and bruised and swollen, still announcing their crimes: "We were hired by the old men!" It was supposed to lead the way. As a result, we were blinded by lard and took the old men to make trouble! He said that he was announcing his crime, but every word was a resounding slap in the face, and the bow was slapped in the face of the lifter. Everyone knows that these bastards are hired by the lifters to do something. Now that they are being sold so cleanly, who will dare to do things for them in the future? On the other side of the street, there is a procession of people. In the strange eyes of the onlookers, they came in the direction of Chaoyangmen under the escort of the "kindness" of the Cao Gang volunteers.

"Out of Chaoyang Gate, a short walk along the road is Zhongshan Mountain, and at the foot of Zhongshan is the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao." The leader of the Cao Gang was very polite and sent the group out of Chaoyangmen, pointing to the road in the distance to show them the way. Anyone can see the hidden meaning behind it from the smile on his face: Didn't you say that you asked to pay homage to Taizu's filial piety? I'll send you here, and I'll wait to see you go to the tomb of filial piety to pay your respects. Everyone in Nanjing City knows that if you dare to enter the scope of Xiaolingwei without a license, you will be punished with a rod and beheaded at a serious level.

However, today is probably the day when these saint disciples are lucky. It was probably the Holy King Wenxuan who came to Nanjing to inspect and guide the preparations for the imperial examination.

The people walked out of the gate of Chaoyangmen and saw that they could no longer see the wolf-like thugs of the Cao Gang, so they beat up the banners again, scolding Li Shouhan, a traitor who deceived the world and stole his name. There are not many pedestrians on the road, and they scold the street just to vent their anger.

However, unfortunately, a team came from the direction of Shimonoseki Pier. In front of the marching brigade, which stretched for more than ten miles, dozens of cavalry scouts acted as sentry and guides.

The road is narrow. This team was the 12th Town of the Southern Guangdong Army, which had just been transferred from Guangxi to Nanjing via Shanghai. When the cavalry scouts saw the slogan in the hands of the group in front of them and the banner on their shoulders, their eyes immediately narrowed into a slit, which was the characteristic look they had when they saw the enemy and were ready to attack.

A storm that no one expected happened.

When the Nanjing Garrison Office got the local report, and the deputy garrison Li Huabao accompanied the garrison Grandpa Xu to the scene, dozens of people who were rushing to take the exam had already been lying here.

The casualties of dozens of Enkojuzi are naturally a major event that has caused a sensation in the government and the opposition. For a while, the Donglin masters in the court celebrated with their crowns, which can be regarded as finding a reason to attack Li Shouhan and his son and the Nanyue army, and the dozens of people who fell in a pool of blood were their best shells.

However, when the inscriptions on the impeachment of Li Shouhan, the Duke of Liang Guogong, and the Nanjing Garrison Prefecture for not strictly administering the army, managing the locality, and guarding the mausoleum were inscribed into the cabinet like snowflakes, the news coming out of the cabinet was of a different caliber. Not only did it not punish the Li family's father and son, the Nanjing garrison and other yamen, but they should reward them according to the situation!

"Ma Xiang! I don't know how the slaughter of dozens of people by the soldiers of the Nanyue Army became their merit? Could it be that they can really kill the good and take the risk? "In the court, someone fired at Ma Shiying with great momentum. In their opinion, as long as the Li family's father and son are defeated or stinked, then the remaining eunuch remnants Ma Shiying and a group of martial arts and nobles led by the Nanjing Garrison Mansion will be fine! This Ming court will immediately return to the good situation of the Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty, and the Jiangshan Sheji is still in the hands of our Donglin!

"Ancestral system." Ma Shiying's face was as usual, but his lips opened lightly, and four words came out of his mouth.

"Nonsense! I, the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors and the ancestors, are all people who value Confucianism and Taoism, how can there be such a bastard system, conniving at those martial artists and Qiu Ba to wave swords and guns at scholars?! ”

The Donglin gentlemen present finally caught the loophole in Ma Shiying's words and began to attack them wantonly, in their opinion, fabricating the will of the great emperors of the past dynasties, if this crime could be easily detained by Ma Shiying, it would be better.

Ma Shiying didn't say much, just tidied up his clothes and took a book respectfully from the guards beside him. "Emperor Taizu Gao's "Imperial Decree" is here! All the ministers bow down! ”

That's amazing! No one expected that Ma Shiying would come up with such a hooligan trick and move Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict out. There were 10,000 reluctances in the hearts of those present, but they had to bow down and salute according to the etiquette.

This edict was compiled by Zhu Yuanzhang himself when he was alive. And stipulated: "The Great Message" is one copy for each household, and it is recited by family heirlooms. Those who have the "Great Message" at home shall be guilty of flogging, rods, disciples, and streams reduced by one degree; Those who do not have the "Great Message" will be given one grade; Those who refuse to accept it will be relocated and will never be allowed to return. The school curriculum and imperial examinations are also based on the title of "The Great Message".

"There are three parts before and after this edict, all my subjects, they must be educated by their families, and take it as a warning, and if they do not obey it, they will move outside the country, and it will not be false." Zhu Yuanzhang also asked the officers to memorize the "Great Commanders": "If you don't listen to it, you don't believe it, every child in the family doesn't remember it, and if you break the law, you will be an official, and you will think about the future from the beginning, and you will ask all the sons and daughters of the family: How many things do you decide to do in this document?" If you still say that you don't realize it, then all the elders and young will be punished for sin. ”

"Let's ignore the fact that this generation has not received the will and goes to the mausoleum without authorization, what is the intention." Seeing that he had mastered the rhythm of the court, Ma Shiying began to suppress the firepower on a large scale. He threw a round of fire first. Question: What is the purpose of these people going to the filial piety tomb? You know, don't say it's the ancestral tomb of the emperor's family, it's the ancestral tomb of ordinary people's families, and the grass, wood, brick, and tile on it are not moved casually. What do you want to do with so many of you moving here?!
