Chapter 161: Expenses for Leaving the City (Subscription Requested, 3/10)

On the night of March 14, the whole capital was in a tumultuous scene.

The imperial court finally made a decision to move south.

When this news came, how many people's eyes were shocked, obviously the reinforcements had arrived, how could the imperial court make such a decision?

Countless gossip spread inside and outside the capital.

Some of the news pointed directly at Zheng Zhilong, but it didn't matter.

At this time in Yanjing City, countless people were nervously packing their luggage.

The large and small officials and a large number of nobles in the city, which one of them didn't go home to pack up and be soft? Yanjing City is lost, I don't know if I can get it back in my lifetime, and pulling things here is equivalent to losing it to Li Thief.

The big guy still has to live in the south, doesn't he?

Even some masters who are unwilling to go to the south in their hearts do not dare to be different at this time. Everyone is packing up, as long as you don't move or panic, do you want to stay and defend the city and repay the king with death, or are you ready to surrender to the thief?

Even the team that stayed in Beijing has not yet been finalized, and the one who stays is also a man, and the family can also go south with the team.

The emperor has already said that there are 1,000 large ships in the port of Jinmen, which are enough to transport courtiers and soldiers, so that everyone can rest assured.

But who can really feel at ease at this time?

It is very difficult for everyone to step to Jinmen in one step, and then step to Jinling.

Among these people, the emperor's Tian Hongyu is the most, he is a native of Yangzhou, and when his daughter Tian Guifei was the most favored, he did not buy land and property around Gyeonggi, but put the focus of his business on his hometown Yangzhou. Because although Emperor Chongzhen doted on his daughter, Empress Zhou was not a cold palace ghost, and had three sons, two of whom were adults. As the crown prince, Tian Hongyu didn't dare to think about it, let alone that his daughter had died of illness.

When Chen Yuanyuan was brought to the capital, it was to be dedicated to Emperor Chongzhen, but it was not satisfactory, so he gave it to Wu Sangui to show his friendship.

Therefore, Tian Hongyu will not feel sad about moving south at all. After going to the south, he will not go to Jinling, and people will stay in Yangzhou to enjoy happiness. If Da Ming can always hold the two Huai.

He is now really worried that the imperial court will move south, so that the army will be crushed for thousands of miles, and he will be crushed to the Yangtze River by Li Thief's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop. Then he's out of luck.

But either way, that's for the future. The most delayed now is to hurry out of the city and go to Jinmen as soon as possible.

"Quick, quick, all right."

I didn't sleep all night, and I started to act before dawn, and a few lanterns illuminated Tian Hongyu, who was sitting on horseback and shouting. Seeing that he was named a guerrilla general by Emperor Chongzhen, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and worshiped the governor of Zuo, it was difficult to ride a horse once on weekdays, and there were carriages in and out.

Today, he is wearing a strong suit, not only riding a gentle high-headed horse, but also equipped with a knife at his waist.

After more than two quarters of an hour, the sky turned from black to dust, the moon still hung in the western sky, and the stars were still shining. A group of people, more than 20 carriages before and after, girls and slaves, family guards, more than 200 people up and down, came out of the mansion in a mighty way.

Carrying the lantern, he walked all the way to Dongzhi Gate.

On the way, I was shocked to meet an old acquaintance - Zhou Kui.

The Zhou family's team was far more spectacular than the Tian family, and there were more than forty flatbed carriages carrying large boxes alone, and the carriages were crushed to the ground, which showed the heaviness of the loads on the carts. Tian Hongyu can think of it with his ass, it should be all silver.

Sixteen taels and one catty, one catty in the Ming Dynasty is almost the same as one catty and two taels in later generations, and this sixteen thousand taels of silver is one thousand catties, plus the wooden box, not to mention more than one thousand and one hundred catties, which is enough for a cart and horse to load. Coupled with the valuable utensils in the house, and some fine and soft, plus the carriages and horses ridden by the inner family, and the entourage and slaves, it is twice as much as the incomparable Tian clan.

"Yo, isn't this the national master?"

"Heh, it turned out to be Emperor Tian's family."

The two who looked at each other and hated each other walked away, each sneering and acknowledging.

Tian Hongyu is not as knowledgeable as Zhou Kui, his daughter is dead, but Zhou Hou is still alive, he doesn't fight with Zhou Kui's old thing.

"Naturally, it's the abbot who pleases first!"

But when he spoke, there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes. He thought he could catch up early, but now that he looks, there are still many people like him.

If there are too many people piled up at the city gate - he knows the news that the city gate was sealed yesterday, they are all powerful families, and the common people and soldiers will definitely not have a good impact when they see it, and the emperor should not be angry when he knows it.

Zhou Kui naturally didn't let go of the anxiety in Tian Hongyu's eyes, reached out and touched his arms, and smiled smugly.

"Old thing, I'm in a hurry now, it's too early. Wait until you get to the city gate, and then go in a hurry. ”

With a cold snort in his heart, Zhou Kui hurriedly urged his subordinates to hurry forward. In order to get this edict, he had a lot of blood, and he filled the gap of Liu Wenbing's old thing, as well as the begging of his daughter, and the emperor was gracious.

Otherwise, depending on the emperor's annoyance with him, if he wants to ask for this edict, he really has to take off a layer of skin.

Zhou Kuiren is not a fool, how can he not know that he offended the emperor in the matter of "donating money", and his son-in-law has a big opinion of himself. Even the girl blames herself. It's really the water spilled by the married daughter.

Not to mention what Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu thought in their hearts, when the team arrived at Dongzhimen, a layer of cold sweat oozed from Tian Hongyu's forehead.

Zheng Jun with knives and guns erected two rows of roads, all the teams were queuing, all crowded on the left side of the road, vacating the right side of the road, blocked by a group of soldiers, and the teams on the left side of the road were three or four miles long.

"Go, go this way, go right."

Zhou Kui rode his horse and shouted loudly, the Zhou family's team did not line up in the left column, but went directly to the right column. Zhou Kui's old man held a booklet high in his hand, and after the leading officer took it, he waved his hand to block the soldiers to get out of the way, and the Zhou family's men and horses passed.

"How can the Zhou family go?"

"How can the Marquis of Jiading go?"

Seeing that the Zhou family was able to pass from the right side of the road, the people queuing on the left side exploded with a "boom".

Everyone is a heavy minister, and now they are all queuing on the side, Zheng Zhilong made people guard the gate and did not let them pass, so why can Zhou Kui be an exception? Is it just because his daughter is the current queen?

Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji was the first to be angry, his daughter was still the first queen, or the emperor's sister-in-law.

At the beginning, the emperor persuaded him to donate, and he took out 20,000 taels of silver, which was the first share among the emperor's relatives.

Zheng Zhilong smiled happily at the scene below in the city, and said to Zheng Sen on the side, "Do you see it?" This is the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. should have rested with the country and was sincere, but in fact, the big tree was scattered before it fell. ”

"Among the nobles in the capital, there are few who have become instruments." There are not even a few people with the wisdom of normal people, and they were really raised as pigs by the old Zhu family.

Time went back to yesterday, Emperor Chongzhen was angry again by the ministers and nobles, but he still had to endure it, and he was really about to explode.

Zheng Zhilong followed him back to the harem and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "The minister has a strategy to vent a bad breath for His Majesty, but it is a little indecent......"
