After the Spring Festival in the second year of Hongwu, a decree was transmitted to Guangzhou. The position of the chief official has been empty for many days in the land of Lingnan, and finally waited for the arrival of the main hall official.

Contrary to some people's expectations, Emperor Lu did not set up a governor of eastern Guangdong and western Guangxi, as it was rumored earlier, but put the whole of Guangnan under the rule of the Lingnan Metropolitan Protectorate.

With the Ming Gong Fang La as the capital protector, the Yongguo Gong Wang Qing and the Luo Guo Gong Zhong Xiang as the left and right deputy capital protectors, but this is just for the sake of a good name. The real control of the two roads in Quang Nam is in the hands of Shi Xiao Jiasui, the governor of the Metropolitan Protectorate.

The latter can be literate and martial, and his follower Lu Zhishen has been sitting in the northwest for many years, strategizing, and always has a wonderful hand. But his qualifications are too shallow, and it is impossible for Emperor Lu to raise him to the position of the protector of Lingnan in one fell swoop, so he has the tablets in the three temples above. But in the eyes of many, this is also just an excess! Lingnan Duhu's hat is his sooner or later.

Xiao Jiasui transferred from the northwest to Yidu, and experienced wind, frost, snow and rain along the way, so it was not miserable. Fortunately, after arriving in Yidu, he fell into the nest of blessings, isn't it a blessing to be promoted and make a fortune. Emperor Lu asked him to go to Lingnan to serve as the governor of the capital, and gave him many rewards.

After spending a lively and happy New Year festival in the ice and snow, he braved the cold to go down to the south of the Yangtze River.

It was still a big construction site, but the newly renovated Shanghai and Hong Kong at Wusongkou Wharf got on a ship going south, and arrived in Guangzhou at the end of January.

On this day, there is a difference between the north and the south. At the end of the first month, in the northland, the spring is cold, and there are even winds and snows returning, and the cold has not faded. But in Guangzhou, the common people and soldiers all showed themselves as single clothes.

It's not the scorching heat of the northland. It's an uncommon feeling of continuous rain and suffocation.

Xiao Jiasui didn't feel uncomfortable, he was also from Jingnan, and he had traveled to the south of the Yangtze River in Fujian, even if he didn't like this climate, he didn't feel uncomfortable. However, he brought Niu Gao and Li Yanxian from the northwest, as well as Li Yongqi and Li Kui [Li Yanxian's brother, and Li Gang's father have the same name, change one word here] and other generals, and they were more uncomfortable.

It's not that I'm sick, it's psychologically unpleasant.

Soon, someone gave him a big gift, which not only made Xiao Jiasui instantly shake his spirits and enter the work state. Even Niu Gao, Li Yanxian and others also lifted their spirits one by one and began to establish the Lingnan garrison.

Guangzhou was also under the rule of the Qi army for half a year, and the appearance of the whole city has changed greatly compared with the cold at the beginning. In the streets and alleys, the rows of shops have basically resumed business, and there are many northern and Jiangnan style shops in them.

For example, the old store of the Xu family, an "old store" that has just been open for half a year. The proprietor is from Shezhou, and it is said that he has a good relationship with many figures in the Fang La army.

"Ah Qi, the stone chicken in the back kitchen is gone, you and Ah Fu go to Zhang Wulang and get two buckets, and there are customers in the store who will use them." The shopkeeper Xu Da said with a pu fan waving it.

Most of the Namanichaean army were Shezhou people, and Fang La and his party stayed in Guangzhou, and from time to time people came to his small shop to be used, because he Xu Da made authentic Shezhou cuisine.

And since it is a local dish in Shezhou, stone chicken cannot be missing. It's a pity that Guangzhou is too far away from Shezhou, and the stone chickens there are difficult to be transported to Guangzhou, so the stone chickens in the "Huangshan Shuangshi" can only be replaced by the local stone chickens in Guangnan. As for the stone ear of Huangshan Mountain, another "stone", it grows on the cliff of a hundred zhang high, it is exposed to the sun and rain, and it takes six or seven years to grow, so the stone fungus of Huangshan has a nickname of "stone wall flower". It's the most authentic here.

Guys Ah Qi and Ah Fu are both natives of Guangzhou, and they know it when they hear this shout. Ah Qi listened to the boss's instructions, threw away the rag in his hand, and then walked out of the store with Na Ah Fu, saying: "The stone chicken soup stewed by the owner is delicious enough, one of the best, but the price is high enough, and it costs five copper yuan a cup." ”

Ten copper dollars is one silver dollar, which is worth seven coins and five cents of silver, and the money is seven hundred and fifty yuan. That cup isn't cheap. But demand outstrips supply.

"When will we be able to be rich like those soldiers under the Duke of Ming." Ah Fu's life is not happy, just like the folk tell everyone who is full of warehouses and hoards to go hungry.

"I'm not envious. The money was stained with human blood. I just can't eat enough for the rest of my life, and I can't do anything like that. ”

"That's just as well. The fight is together, and it is in the Jiangnan Flower World, how can there be no money in his hands? How can there be no blood on the money? ”

A look of horror flashed in Ah Fu's eyes. For ordinary people like him, many of the customers in the Xu family's old store are murderous military masters. The people are not stupid, and they understand some superficial truths.

Two days ago, there was a riot in Guangzhou City, and I don't know how many corpses were lifted out of the palace, and it seems difficult to find traces on the surface. Even that identity is easy to guess, it is none other than the Imperial City Division. At the same time, this bloodshed also made the nerves that had been loosened by many people in Guangzhou strain again.

The eyes of the people are bright, I don't know how many people are muttering, is this a ghost to answer? Otherwise, how could the South Vietnamese people bear the name of the Champa people and smoothly enter the capital palace? The mistake is not that Xiao Jiasui Xiao Changshi, who looks like a celebrity, is really capable of literature and martial arts, and with his bare hands, he killed several South Vietnamese warriors one after another, and he may really cause a big mess.

This is not only because some people do not want to see Guangnan quickly stabilize and peaceful under the rule of Daqi, but also because it is a provocation to the dignity of Daqi. Imagine that Shi, the newly arrived governor of the Imperial Protectorate, was assassinated by the South Vietnamese, and Daqi's face was gone.

Guangzhou is a big window for the Central Plains to the outside world.

The situation in Quang Nam is complicated, not only because of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty in the west and the fighting in South Vietnam, which is opening, but also because of the existence of the three people of Fang La. Of course, those big leaders in the latter's army have long been closely monitored by the Espionage Department, and once they find out that something is wrong, they will inevitably report it to the police as soon as possible.

As for other matters, in the past two months, there have been several riots in eastern Guangdong, but they have all been secretly suppressed by all forces. Although there will definitely be a mention in the fold. But whether it's public or not, it's two different things.

Therefore, these turmoil did not have much impact on the people, and for ordinary people, it was always very peaceful before and after the year. Therefore, the people in Guangzhou will let go of their worries and quietly accept the fact of changing the dynasty. That's why they were frightened by the fighting that broke out in the Metropolitan Protectorate and the news that followed.

The sky is still gloomy, and it is difficult to see the sun in Guangzhou during this time period. However, the sky became brighter and the number of pedestrians on the spacious streets gradually increased, and after the initial panic, the bustling market scene quickly recovered.

It's a bit like a terrorist attack in the future. After that attack, it naturally disappeared, especially if it did not cause significant damage.

The yamen at all levels and the official offices of various departments in Guangzhou have been set up, which are concentrated in the original official offices of various places. Whoever let the officials of Daqi can't live in the official office, except for the night on duty, the big and small officials and officials all go back to their own homes after they release the office, just like the Hei Saburo mentioned above. Among them, there is a yamen listed as a security bureau.

The courtyard is cold, and it is quiet. But no one dared to underestimate it. In today's world, who doesn't know the names of the Security Division and the Espionage Division?

The opposite of the Security Bureau is the post office.

After the post stations were rectified, they were used again. Among them, the transmission of civil letters depends on it. The fast transmission of military information also depends on the post station, but the pigeon's nest is always located in the security department.

A carrier pigeon flew into the city of Guangzhou, and it was not noticed by too many people, but when it landed lightly in the security department, many officials knew that confidential information had been delivered.
