Chapter 39: Western Dresses
Zhu Shun didn't use a cup, he touched the other party's bottle with the bottle: "My name is Zhu Shun." ”
Ruvio saw that Zhu Shun was also drinking high-grade brandy directly from a bottle, and laughed: "Zhu, what are you here to buy." ”
This kind of thing to buy is actually very common, but it is difficult to buy, so it can be said that there is no one sold in the capital.
Zhu Shun poured a mouthful of brandy, pointed to the clothes on Ruvio's body and said, "I want to buy a set of your Western dresses, a Sidike, and a Westerner wig." ”
If you want to buy things like Western glasses and chiming bells, it's easy to say, even if Zhu Shun wants to buy a Franc cannon, Ruvio can help Zhu Shun buy it, after all, Xiangshanao has the best gun factory in the Far East.
But Western dresses, stellars, and Westerners' wigs are difficult to do.
In the eyes of the Ming people, these things are similar to Jurchen clothing, they are all things worn by barbarians, and no one buys these things at all, where will there be inventory.
Ruvio himself still has a few sets of Western dresses to be washed, and Si Tik also has a few pieces, but this Western wig is not easy to do.
Ruvio shrugged his shoulders and said, "Zhu, I have both the Western dress and the division's gram, but this Western wig can't be helped." ”
Zhu Shun bought these things to pretend to be a Westerner, and a Western wig that can cover his face is the key to disguise, if he doesn't cover his face, a fool can also see that it is a fake.
Westerners don't have the concept of parents who have a body and a skin, Zhu Shun pointed to Ruvio's hair and smiled: "I don't want a wig, I want this kind of real hair on your head, but you need a whole." ”
There are no Western wigs, but there are a lot of real hair, Ruvio laughed and touched Zhu Shun's bottle: "Zhu, you wait here for an hour." ”
Ruvio took a sip of brandy, walked out of the main hall with the bottle, and returned an hour and a half later, with an extra dress, a stellar, and a set of red hair.
Ru Wei put the things into a bag and put them on the Huanghuali table next to Zhu Shun: "Zhu, this is what you want." ”
Zhu Shun took out a tael of silver and put it on the Huanghuali table, and hugged Ruvio according to the custom of Franc Ji: "Thank you, I will have the opportunity to invite you to watch the bullfight in the future." ”
Bullfighting in Spain is the aristocratic sport that Franc is most proud of, and when Ruvio heard that Zhu Shun also liked bullfighting, he instantly pulled into the relationship between the two people: "It already makes me very happy to hear such a pure hometown dialect in the Far East." ”
"These things are not worth much, just as I gave them to Zhu."
Zhu Shun raised his eyelids and glanced at Ruvio, but he didn't expect this big guy to look at the five big and three thick, and he was so thick and fine.
Where is he because of a bullfight, it is clearly because of the official uniform that Zhu Shun has just changed: "No, Rubio, this money must be accepted." ”
Zhu Shun put down the silver, didn't give Ruvio a chance to refute, and left Xishiku with his baggage.
Lu Weiao looked at Zhu Shun a little strangely, he didn't expect that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were not greedy.
After buying things for disguise, Zhu Shun rented a firewood room in a private house near Huangfu, which was cheap, only five cents a night.
Zhu Shun changed into a Western dress inside, put on red hair, especially to cover his face, and began to recall an incident recorded in the history books.
The Massacre of Gyeonggi.
According to historical records, in the middle of the night of October 26 in the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led the Eight Banners to bypass Shanhaiguan and crossed the Great Wall from Xifengkou to attack Beiping.
What is recorded in the history books is that Huang Taiji is preparing to capture Beiping and destroy the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Shun knows that this is the Qing Dynasty people who put gold on their faces, after all, the history of the Ming Dynasty was compiled by the Qing Dynasty.
Zhu Shun analyzed the national strength of the two sides at that time, the Qing Dynasty did not have the strength to annex the Ming Dynasty at all, not to mention that there were more than ten thousand border troops in the Ningjin defense line who could fight well.
There are also a large number of famous generals such as Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Cao Wenzhao, and Huang Degong.
Take the population of both sides at that time, the Jurchens, with a population of only a few hundred thousand, could not swallow the Ming Dynasty with a population of more than 10,000.
Zhu Shun became interested in this matter, so he went to look through a large number of official and field histories, and deduced the real purpose of the Jurchens this time from the words in it.
Fight local tyrants and landlords, grab grain, grab money, and rob women.
The Ming court had no money, that was because all the silver went into the hands of the bureaucrats and gentry, and the most profitable place in the whole world was Jiangnan, but the richest place was Gyeonggi.
Through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is known as flowing with silver, a huge amount of wealth is continuously transported from the south and southeast coasts to Gyeonggi every year.
Gyeonggi sprang up patches of Zhuangzi fields, and in these Zhuangzi fields buried a large amount of silver looted by the bureaucrats and gentry.
Huang Taiji relied on the massive wealth he had robbed in this Gyeonggi Massacre to establish the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of Han, which greatly expanded the strength of the Jurchens.
Six years later, he waited until Huang Taiji had completely exhausted the wealth he had stolen from Gyeonggi before he dared to make a major decision.
