After Sun Yuan traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he thought more than once about the day he returned to Beijing. When he first came to this world, he just wanted to see the place where he had worked and lived for ten years in his previous life. After all, there is its own youth, dreams and struggles.

As he gradually blends into this time and space, he looks at things very differently than before.

He has won three peerless feats in succession, which can be described as the most showy one from Chongzhen's eighth year to Chongzhen's ninth year. This time to escort Gao Yingxiang into Beijing to offer prisoners, one can imagine how unprecedented the grand occasion was.

He even simulated in his heart how to deal with it after being received by the emperor, and even deduced and Chongzhen's character according to historical records. The conclusion is: although this man has a problematic personality, he is a very good person to deal with. Anyway, according to Yuan Chonghuan's original road, just blow the cowhide into the big inside.

But he never expected that after walking on the road for a few days, as soon as he saw the city of Beijing, Gao Qiqian ordered that Wang Yuncheng's troops and the Ningxiang army were stationed in two abandoned Beijing barracks in Shijingshan, and the two armies were twenty miles apart.

This is understandable, after all, the capital is such a important place. Not to mention the Sichuan Army and the Ningxiang Army, even if Lu Xiangsheng came over, he couldn't bring the army into the city. The imperial court is also very wary of the army, and no one dares to guarantee what those military masters will do once so many troops enter the city.

If someone gets double-minded and directly leads troops into the Forbidden City, to a Qingjun side, it will be difficult to be appeased, and things will be in trouble.

The most important reason for Yuan Chonghuan's death that year was that when Yuan Inspector led his troops to Qin Wang, not only did he not fight with Jiannu at the first time, but let the emperor open the city gate and let the Guanning army enter Beijing. At that time, the evil fire of Emperor Chongzhen came up, okay, your surname is Yuan, you asked you to come over to fight, what do you want to bring so many troops into the city to do, do you want to rebel?

Moreover, every inch of land in the capital is expensive, and there are not so many places to place tens of thousands of horses.

Sun Yuan can also understand this matter, he really asked the troops to march into Beijing City, and he was afraid that the military spirit of the troops would be scattered!

However, the generals of the army can enter the city, right?

But as soon as he arrived in the capital, it was Zhu Xuanshui who entered the city first

。

Zhu Deputy Qianhu got the order of the imperial court, escorted Gao Yingxiang into the city, and imprisoned the people in the heavenly prison, and waited until the day of the sacrifice to the Taimiao, and the trial of the three law divisions.

Then, entering the city is the high dive.

When Eunuch Gao was leaving, he also took away all the enemy heads captured by the Ningxiang army, saying that he wanted to personally ask the court for Sun Yuan's credit.

When he said this, Gao Qiqian also praised Sun Yuan and Ning Xiangjun fiercely in front of everyone. He also explained that the meritorious soldiers of Chuzhou World War I entered Beijing to meet the Son of Heaven this time, which was not as simple as imagined. The court has rules, and the Son of Heaven doesn't just want to see it.

After he saw His Majesty and reported the matter, he would naturally have a decree to come down and arrange for the army to enter the city for review.

Seeing the smirk on his face, Sun Yuan always felt that something was wrong. But Wang Yuncheng didn't object, and he couldn't say anything, so he could only hand over his head. What kind of procedure is this light work, Sun Yuan is not very clear.

So, he was stationed, and waited for a month, and the time had reached the middle of October of the ninth year of Chongzhen, when the imperial court praised himself, and when he was reviewed by the Son of Heaven, as if it had never happened.

This made Sun Yuan wonder in his heart.

The problem is that he basically doesn't have any acquaintances in Beijing in this time and space. And the official position is low, and I can't grasp any clue why this thing has become like this.

In this month, the soldiers in the Ningxiang army have been stationed in the capital for too long, and some people's hearts are fluctuating. Before coming, everyone thought that it was just to escort Gao Yingxiang into Beijing, go to the ground, hand over the prisoner, receive a reward from the court, and then go home.

But I don't want to be forgotten now.

Fortunately, the discipline of the Ningxiang Army is strict, and Sun Yuanyou has come up with a so-called training outline for autumn and winter.

Everyone gets up at dawn every day to boil their muscles and bones, and they have to toss until dark before they can go to bed. Tired half to death, I just hate not having enough time to sleep, and after a few days, everyone is used to such days, but they don't think about it anymore.

The soldiers are easy to do, they can keep their eyes open until the lights go out, but as the commander of the Ningxiang Army, the future and net worth of so many people are concerned, but Sun Yuan can't help but care

。

After waiting for a month, Sun Yuan sensed that something was wrong and didn't want to delay it any longer.

After thinking about it, he only knew one Zhu Xuanshui in Beijing.

Although Deputy Zhu Qianhu said that his official position was not high, he was nothing in the capital where he could hit a Zhengqipin court official with a single stone, but he was also a noble son of a nobleman, and he knew a lot of people.

Anyway, it was boring to stay in the barracks, so Sun Yuan simply took Fei Hong, Donkey, Wen Jianjian and several other middle-level officers into Beijing City.

A few days after the martial law was lifted in Beijing, after all the slaves returned to the north, the Qinwang soldiers and horses from all over the country also returned to their towns.

The Gyeonggi region suffered greatly from the two-month invasion of the southern invasion of the Gyeonggi region. During these two months, all the people of Suncheonfu who had some wealth poured into the city to take refuge. It is said that during this period of time, there were more than 100,000 displaced people in Beijing at once. Not only are hotels and restaurants overcrowded, but even many shacks have been built on the streets. In this way, there is still no way to contain so many people.

Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court had no way, so they ordered all the palaces and Buddhist temples in the city to open the doors of convenience and let the people live in.

There are too many refugees, and the prices in the capital have also risen sharply, and the rice is worth 300 yuan.

When Sun Yuan entered the city, he could still see the shack at the base of the city wall that had not had time to be removed.

For Beijing, he has been longing for a long time. I also want to see with my own eyes what the political center of the Ming Dynasty looks like, and see if I can retrieve some memories of my past life.

But when he got to the ground, he was disappointed.

It's dirty, it's just dirty.

The Xiaoice River has been in existence for decades, and now Beijing is so dry that its eyes are scorched, and it is late autumn, and there is not a trace of green in sight. A gust of northwest wind blew, and in addition to blowing the camel collar into a chaotic sound, it also rolled up the yellow sand in the sky. As long as you open your mouth, you can eat a mouthful of sand.

A large number of displaced people enter Beijing, they drown on the ground, and as you walk, you can accidentally step on human and animal feces. It's still a cold day, and if it's the middle of summer, I don't know what it will stink

。

Qiang Donkey, Fei Hong and Wen Jianjian and others are okay, after all, they are from the Shanxi border army, and they have long been accustomed to such a climate. But the boss of Guan Taoguan, who was traveling with Sun Yuan, spat heavily: "Bah, this is also the capital, dirty like this." Grandpa Cheng didn't know what he thought back then, so he moved the capital to such a dirty place. How good Nanjing is, the flowers are red and willow green, the halls and pavilions, that is heaven! ”

Sun Yuan: "This was not the case in Beijing back then, there was a lot of water, and it was only in recent decades that it has been dry. ”

Fei Hong nodded: "It seems that this is the case, my father came to Beijing with the official back then, and I heard him say that Beijing is very beautiful." ”

As he was talking, Boss Guan suddenly screamed sharply: "Disgusting, disgusting!" ”

When everyone heard the scream, they were shocked, looked in the direction of his finger, and then took a breath of cold air at the same time.

But at the base of the city wall, the dung of men and animals had been piled up into a mountain, which was level with the battlements of the wall. I don't know how many years the manure has been piled up here, and it's all overgrown with grass. It has entered late autumn, and the wild grass has already withered and yellowed, and the wind blows, and it makes a loud sound.

The dung hill has been hollowed out, and there are filthy children crawling in and out of it, apparently making it their home.

As a modern person, Sun Yuan didn't like to be clean, and he was suddenly shocked to his scalp and had goosebumps on his body.

How did the Boss Empire, the center of the world, become like this?

In fact, starting from Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, to Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, the old soldiers who guarded the city in the Northern Song Dynasty, and then to Beijing in the Ming Dynasty. This Eastern empire has always stood at the top of the forest of peoples in the world. Wealthy, powerful, open-minded, with a strong sense of pride and self-confidence.

In people's minds, the so-called world refers to the East Asian continent from the north of Cyprus to the South China Sea. As for the rest of the world, it's just wilderness. This is the world, and Beijing is the center of the world.

But people of this era did not know that with the advent of capitalism and the advent of the Age of Navigation of the Great Geographical Discoveries, the center of the world had slowly shifted to the West.

The world will become something else.

Because of the relationship between information and vision, perhaps everyone may not have any awareness of the new world that is about to appear

。 But with the defeat of the Ming Dynasty's foreign wars one after another, the country is full of smoke. The entire empire, from top to bottom, seemed to be drained of their hearts and became decadent.

This became even more evident after the two-month invasion of Jiannu.

There are many officials in the capital, and there are many yamen and many helpers, and in such a political center city, the common people are naturally infected with the hobby of discussing state affairs. In the street talk, the war that has just passed is naturally indispensable. As soon as the well-informed well-informed do-gooders and idlers talked about this, they all shook their heads and sighed, and even scolded them, belittleing the army of the Ming Dynasty and the princes of the court to nothing.

Everyone was also resentful that the imperial army did not have a single soldier to engage the enemy in the past two months, and was purely a spectator.

But what can you do if you scold once, after venting, you just sigh, go back to your own home, and find your mother.

Then the market remained peaceful, and the chaotic city of Beijing returned to its former bustling scene.

As for the other prefectures and counties of Shuntianfu outside the city, which were plagued by the war, and even the villages that were slaughtered into white ground, for everyone, it was a matter of another world.

In the eyes of the people of Beijing, the outside of Beijing is a big rural area. The walls of the capital are high and thick, and they are as solid as gold, no matter how strong Jiannu is, it is impossible to break in. Hiding in the city, but it is safe, and life can still go on.

Not to mention the high-rise buildings in the court, even the common people at the bottom know that the Ming Dynasty was completely out of line. In this case, you don't need to put too much thought into it, just live one day at a time!

This can be seen from the numb expressions on the faces of the people. It is certainly pleasant to scold the ministers and even the emperor in the tavern, but this is just a talking point in everyone's daily life. There are many interesting things in life, such as those beautiful women in the Qinglou, the merry men who spend a lot of money, and the newly listed Nanban treasures.

Nanjing's morale is depressed, drunk and dreaming of death, but it also pays attention to a delicate mood; As for Beijing, it is more of a fly-camp dog who can get by.

Sun Yuan walked on the street for a long time, and suddenly found that the city of Beijing in this era was like a dying old man, lacking a vigorous and upward vitality.

At the same time in European countries, Portuguese and Spanish sailors were sailing on the oceans, galloping through the stormy seas, allowing the sun to rust on them. In the Americas, their arquebuses were being fired intensively to meet the onslaught of the Mayans and Aztecs

。

"Da Ming is old, and he has no spirit anymore!"

……

At this time, the donkey suddenly cried out with joy: "I finally saw green, haha, my eyes were full of yellow before, but my eyes were tired." ”

When everyone looked up, they saw a green cloud in the distance, and it was a large forest, with red walls and green tiles in the woods. There is no yellow sand in the wind, and there is a trace of water in it, which is so fresh that people are intoxicated.

It makes people can't help but feel refreshed.

At the same time, the streets are much less crowded and cleaner.

There were several officials of the Shuntian Mansion who were sweeping the streets vigorously with brooms. In this era, the government officials can be described as multi-skilled, serving as policemen, firefighters, and sanitation workers.

Sun Yuan nodded: If you guessed correctly, the front should be Xiyuan, the place where the emperor lives and handles state affairs: "In a few moments, you will be able to go to Deputy Zhu's house." ”

Wen Jianjian: "The place where Zhu Qianhu lives is really good, this place is not much inferior to Nanjing." ”

"Nonsense, I heard that this piece is a royal garden and the mansion of the minister's doctor, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be?"

Indeed, the Beijing setting is interesting. To the north of the city is the palace and to the south is the commercial district. The eastern part of the city is the residence of ordinary people, and the western part of the city is mostly the residence of high-ranking officials and nobles.

The Ming Dynasty was founded for more than 200 years, and most of the residents in the west of the city have extraordinary origins, and they have been multiplied for more than ten generations.

The Ming Dynasty's clan and the ranks of nobles were extremely large, and today, the number of grandmasters and nobles has reached an astonishing two or three hundred thousand. Many of these people ate iron stalks, and the burden on the court was also extremely heavy.

After walking for a long time, according to the address left by Zhu Xuanshui, Sun Yuan and the others came to the door of a small mansion, and asked, sure enough.

However, the porter replied that Deputy Zhu Qianhu has been busy with official business recently, and he basically can't see anyone. Not today.
