Chapter 722: Roar

Li Guobin said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, don't worry, I know that the old lady is going to have a birthday, and I will prepare a lot of reward money at that time, you can rest assured, I will send a batch of brand-new copper coins to the past." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Holo." The matter of copper coins is just a trivial matter for Dingguo Gong, saving a few hundred taels of silver, and the Dingguo Mansion has at least hundreds of thousands of acres of official farmland, plus sources of income such as usury in official stores, additional income such as salt and tea from the emperor's reward, the empty amount of food in the Beijing camp, and how much silver the more than 200 Beijing battalion soldiers who occupy the military service save in a year. A smile appeared on his face, it was the kind of casual remark that he didn't take to heart at all, but just to look up at Li Guobin, Li Guobin felt it very well, and hurriedly greeted him a few words.

"By the way," Dingguo Gong said before leaving, "Gong Wei is not in the mansion and has entered the palace." ”

"Oh," Li Guobin said: "For the convoy entering the city, I have to ask my father-in-law to ask the East Factory to let it go." ”

"Urgent." Dingguo said: "Such a big matter, do you think the factory minister can not go to the palace to report to the emperor?" ”

Li Guobin and Wang Faxiang looked at each other, both of them were a little weak-hearted.

……

Tianqi is holding a daily lecture in the Wenhua Palace, and he has been getting more and more tired of this form of lecture lately, and he no longer fully accepts and believes in the words of the saints in the mouths of the civil officials, and the emperor's imperial mind is becoming more and more sophisticated, and he is becoming more and more distrustful of the Donglin Party and the pure literati. It's just that due to the effect of inertia, this form of Japanese talk still persisted, but the emperor himself didn't know how long it could last.

However, the king of letters, who was accompanying under the golden platform, listened with relish, and Tianqi saw the obsessed look on the emperor's face, and felt speechless in his heart, the two brothers from relying on each other to growing up, and King Xin also became more and more of his own opinions, and Tianqi was helpless about it.

Neither of them has received a complete imperial education, before the apocalypse ascended the throne, he was the eldest brother, and he learned a little, after becoming the emperor, because the talent of the apocalypse is enough, the mastery of the emperor's mental art is gradually perfected, and the king of faith is becoming more and more obsessed with the Confucian classics, and his trust in civil officials is increasing day by day, but he does not have the slightest understanding of the current situation of the Ming Dynasty......

Fortunately, Tianqi is still very young and in good health, and no one will think that King Xin will really become the crown prince, and even succeed his brother as the Ming Emperor.

When Wei Zhongxian came in, all the lecturers stared, and King Xin was also slightly shocked, he was originally sitting, and he almost stood up.

On the side of Jintai, the officials of the Jinyi Guard, a concubine, a marquis and an earl, and the attendants of the Hanlin lecturers all turned their attention to Wei Zhongxian.

"The slave and maid knock to see the emperor." Wei Zhongxian didn't care about those eyes with different meanings, he hurried to the front of the golden platform and bowed on the gold brick ground.

Tianqi smiled and said, "Why is the factory minister free to come in at this time?" ”

Wei Zhongxian is also a high-ranking eunuch now, a celebrant eunuch and a eunuch of the East Factory, and he has a lot of official duties every day. Different from what later generations imagined, it was the eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace who could really serve the emperor every day, and the other was the daily rotation of eunuchs, the emperor's dormitory was to be on duty for eunuchs, and each rotating eunuch had to sit in shifts in the dormitory with a copper whisk that could be used as a weapon.

"There is indeed an important emergency, which is related to the safety of the soldiers and civilians of the Thirteen Mountains, and the slaves and maids dare not delay......

Wei Zhongxian was not dissatisfied with the movement caused by He Yusheng, if a force had a strong enough force, Wei Zhongxian felt that it was reasonable to make trouble, and He Yusheng only showed his commercial strength a little, and there was nothing too out of line. But Wei Zhongxian, according to the return of his subordinates, has keenly realized that He Yusheng has shown more than commercial strength this time, and the team has only shown wealth, including production, scheduling, personnel rationing, guards, and relationships.

An ordinary large commercial bank can show one-tenth of the scheduling ability of Yusheng.

This kind of thing to be intuitively compared, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Cixi declared war on the foreign powers, was beaten into the Beijing division by the Eight-Nation Alliance, when she knew that the enemy soldiers were going to enter the city, Cixi ordered to prepare hundreds of carts in the Beijing division to prepare for the escape, but in the end the bureaucracy for the Holy Mother and Empress Dowager prepared only two carts, Cixi had to flee with Guangxu, the rest of the people crowded in another car, and the rest of the people walked.

In a hurry, the court of a large empire can only prepare two carts, and later generations may think that it is a romance, but this is an indisputable fact.

As far as Wei Zhongxian is concerned, he feels that the number of chariots and horses that He Yusheng can recruit in a short period of time is something he can't do, that is to say, he is one of the most powerful people in this huge empire, but he can't do what a merchant can do, and the things contained in it are too terrifying.

Tianqi was very happy to hear it, and he said, "The day is paused, I want to go to Banzai Mountain to have a look." Of course, the carriages and horses have to let them in, and they are not the army, hundreds of carts together are more eye-catching, but it is also that Zhang Han really contributed, remember this matter, and reward him in the future. ”

"Yes, slave remembers." Wei Zhongxian's heart was up and down, and he hurriedly agreed.

Apocalypse turned his head and said, "King Xin is also here." ”

……

In less than half an hour, the convoy was finally released into the city.

When the car array poured into Zhengyangmen, the onlookers stood on the inside and outside three floors.

Even the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven saw such a spectacle for the first time, and nearly a thousand large cars with unique shapes poured into the capital together, in an orderly manner, and the dispatch was lawful, showing good organization and order.

Some of the soldiers of the Beijing camp and the soldiers and horses of the five cities were maintaining order, but there was no chaos, especially when the people knew that these convoys were going to Tongzhou to transport grain to Liaodong to rescue the soldiers and civilians trapped by the Eastern captives, and there were bursts of cheers.

Lu San and a group of partners together to catch the car, he is now also a soldier, the deputy officer of the transport team, compared to his brothers he is far behind, but Lu San already feels very content, he is not as ambitious as Lu Dafu, not as heroic as Lu Si, not as determined to change his destiny as Lu Da, he feels that he has known such a day now, the annual salary is dozens of taels of silver, and he may not have saved it in the past ten years, several brothers are mixed well, and a large number of acres are divided in the north, Lu San plans to marry a daughter-in-law first, and then become a soldier for ten years, and after retiring from the army, he will go to the north to contract hundreds of acres of land and become a small landlord.

Lu San wore the military uniform of the baggage, his body was very well-proportioned due to long-term physical exercise, walking on the road, from time to time there were the admiration and cheers of the people in his ears, Lu San and his companions involuntarily straightened their waists, and their hearts were full of pride.

"Brother, are you going to Liaodong?"

A thin black man suddenly grabbed Lu San and stared at him with dead eyes.

Lu San felt that there was no life in this person's eyes, almost as if a dead person was staring at him, he shivered, and wanted to shake his hand to break free of this person, but the person was very tight and couldn't break free.

In front of many people, Lu San felt inconvenient and angry, and he said: "You drag me to do something, we are going to Liaodong." ”

"You are good soldiers!" The thin black man had tears in his eyes and said, "You must kill the captives." ”

"Huh?" Lu San felt inexplicable.

"You must kill the captives." The black and thin man cried even more, the tears on his whole face flowed as if he was dying, and his body was also stiff, crying and panting violently, his face was thin and unfocused, only his eyes were crying, his body was black and thin, his clothes were shabby, revealing dry gray skin and ribs on both sides, this person was no different from a skeleton, and he was crying so sadly, still panting and coughing, it was obvious to everyone that this person would not live long.

"Brother, you must kill a few more Dongyu......" The black thin man still pulled Lu San and didn't let go, his whole body bowed like a shrimp, and he was almost speechless.

Lu San looked around, many soldiers were looking at the situation here, they were not stupid, they knew that this person must be a refugee from Liaodong, and they didn't know what kind of tragedy they had encountered when they looked at him.

However, this black and thin man just didn't say anything, he first cried, then cried loudly, and cried until he couldn't support it, and fell to the ground, a black and thin hand still holding Lu San.

There was an inexplicable emotion rising in Lu San's heart, and there were tears in his eyes, he knew that there must be unspeakable sad and tragic things hidden in the heart of that black and thin man, there may be many such people in Jingshi, and he also begged the imperial court to send troops to destroy the eastern captives, but the imperial court failed to dispatch troops several times, and the disappointment and sorrow in the hearts of these people can be imagined.

It may be that He Yusheng's soldiers are more like soldiers than the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, which arouses the last glimmer of hope and strength of this man who has suffered a lot in the world.

The thin black man on the ground had no strength, his hand finally lowered, and there were five obvious black finger prints on the corners of Lu San's gray robe.

Lu San was not angry, there was a very inexplicable emotion in his chest that was ignited, as were the soldiers around him, and the people who were watching were also silent, and there was an emotion brewing and fermenting in the crowd.

"Kill!" Lu San suddenly raised his arms and shouted.

"Kill, kill!"

"Kill!"

The soldiers and the onlookers also chanted.

The shouts quickly converged into a wave, which shocked the officers and soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division and the Dongchang fans around them, and after the officers of He Yusheng came to see it, they did not stop this spontaneous behavior.

Soon, where the convoy passed by with Yusheng, the sound converged into a huge wave, slamming into this black and gray ancient city.
