The third year of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, November 18.

Sichuan, Chengdu.

It was just getting dark, and the shopkeepers on the street beckoned their apprentices to get out of the panmen, and the sound of the city gradually sounded. The carriage carrying water and delivering water ran over the street in a daze. When the shopkeepers walked out the door rubbing their sleepy eyes. I found that there were already many people gathered in the streets and alleys, all of them strong men wearing gray military uniforms.

Moreover, everyone is armed with rifles with bayonets!

I don't know where they came from, and when they dispersed to various places in Chengdu. The young soldiers were expressionless, standing solemnly, lining up, one after another military flags had been unfurled, and the sun and moon flags symbolizing the Ming Dynasty were fluttering in the wind.

A young or middle-aged man who looks like an officer stands in front of a column of soldiers and mobilizes loudly in a Cantonese accent: "Brothers, whose food do you eat and whose clothes do you wear?" ”

"Eat the emperor's food and wear the emperor's clothes!"

"Who gave you the land so that you can afford to raise your grandmother and get your mother-in-law?"

"It's the emperor! It's the emperor! ”

"Now there are people here in Chengdu, Sichuan, who oppose our emperor, oppose the emperor's new policy, and want to make the country poor and weak forever, what should you do?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The soldiers below immediately shouted for kill! These soldiers are not tall, but they look very strong, and their arms are thick, and they all look powerful. This is the result of 3 silver dollars a month, 24 taels of military rations a day, and high-intensity training of one exercise a day.

Now the first army stationed in Sichuan is all Guangdong soldiers, which is the army started by Zhu Jishi. All the officers and men were given at least 20 acres of farmland in Guangzhou, and after 10 years of service, they could get another 20 acres of land. Most of the officers in the First Army were nobles, and even the youngest viscount was given a mansion and 200 acres of land. For these officers and soldiers from the bottom, Zhu Jishi is closer than their own father, and whoever dares to oppose Emperor Zhu is damned! As for whether the main reasoning of these opposition parties is right or wrong, it does not make any sense.

No matter how big this is, it can't be more than 40 acres of land!

The officers issued another loud order: "The emperor's will has come down, martial law will be imposed in the whole province of Sichuan, and all assemblies and processions are strictly prohibited...... Now I order you to patrol XX Street to XX Street with guns! ”

At the sound of an order, most of the streets in Chengdu were controlled by these Ming soldiers carrying foreign guns! Local shopkeepers, apprentices, and clerks in Chengdu carry basins. Holding the rag and opening his mouth wide, he stared at everything in front of him stupidly. All they could think in their minds was, "These soldiers look really fierce." Whoever hits them on the muzzle of their guns will not end well! ”

"Sixth master, sixth master, it's not good! The Ming army has come to arrest us......"

In an inn on Gongyuan Street in Chengdu, several men with a mouthful of Beijing films crawled into an upper room.

This is the room where Sushun lives. He also arrived in Chengdu a few days ago. He lives on Gongyuan Street in Chengdu, the center of the storm of the "boycott movement". I don't do anything every day. It is to stroll around the streets of Gongyuan, or find a restaurant and tea shop to order some food and sit for a long time, and listen to the high-minded discussions of Sichuan scholars. Although I can't hear any high-level arguments about "anti-Ming and Qing restoration". But Su Shun still found that the Ming Dynasty was already in a deep crisis!

He was on the Gualga at this time. Yuan Bao said: "Zhu Wei's biggest mistake is that the pace of the new law is too fast, opening the country, practicing constitutionalism, running new schools, building railways, building factories, opening mines, and engaging in colonization, all of which are digging the foundation of this country." Of course, it's not that you can't do these things, but you can't do so much and so quickly, you have to take your time. Moreover, we must not let the people fool themselves, and the government must firmly grasp these new policies and foreign affairs, and take their time, so that we can pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and minimize the adverse impact of foreign affairs on all aspects of the country. But Zhu Wei didn't care about this, he only knew that Lu Dao was blindly radical.

And he didn't even care about the study of the saints, and actually thought of reforming the imperial examination and sorting out the field endowment, which was the enemy of the world's scholars! Originally, the new policy and new law harmed the people, and the world was already in turmoil, if the scholars were on the side of the court, they could still suppress the situation, and if the scholars were against the court, then the country of Zhu Rebellion would be in chaos! Here's your chance! It's a chance for the Qing Dynasty to recover! If we can get up in time and raise the banner of protecting the name of the religion, prohibiting heresies, and opposing the New Deal, why worry about the big things that will not happen? ”

At this moment, several obedient retinues rushed in shouting.

"Ming army, a lot of Ming army, coming to us! Sixth Master, you go quickly, the little ones are desperately dragging them down......"

"Ming Army?" Su Shun and Yuan Bao glanced at each other, and Yuan Bao asked, "How many people?" ”

"There are always thousands! The two ends of Gongyuan Street have been blocked, and cannons have been drawn! ”

Su Shun sighed: "It's not to arrest us!" You don't need a cannon to catch us! He looked at Guerca. Yuan Bao suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, there's a good show to watch now." ”

"The Ming army wants to be suppressed?"

Su Shun said with a smile: "Now the whole Sichuan is going to be in chaos!" Emperor Zhu can be regarded as a stinky move, Sichuan is in chaos, and our Qing Dynasty will be revived! With that, he stood up and walked to the window, ready to watch with great interest how the evil Ming army washed the streets of Gongyuan in Sichuan.

And the tens of thousands of hot-blooded Confucian students who lived in dozens of inns on Gongyuan Street and Chengdu Gongyuan had also found that Emperor Zhu's army had raised the butcher's knife high, and these people were immediately stunned. The entire Gongyuan Street was empty, all the inns were closed doors and windows, and behind each window there were several pairs of eyes, looking at the Ming officers and soldiers who were sweeping into the Gongyuan Street with remorse.

Some of them were still muttering in a crying voice.

"It's time to memorize, it's time to memorize, what's the trouble, the emperor will take whatever he wants, and now he's going to cut off his brains......"

"It's funny, this time it's a kill, the official has nothing to do, he has to do the class!"

"It's not enough to cut off the skull to make a class room, right?"

Several Ming army officers with horns rolled up in foreign iron sheets scattered all over Gongyuan Street and shouted loudly: "Now it is an order to handle the case, and those who dare to obstruct will be killed!" Now it is an order to handle the case, and those who dare to obstruct will be killed! ”

After shouting twice, these people shouted again: "All doors and windows are opened, everyone goes back to their rooms to wait for inspection, and anyone who does not cooperate with the action will be immediately locked up and arrested, and handed over to the official office!" ”

There was a loud bang for the sound of windows opening and opening, and all the doors and windows on the entire Gongyuan Street were opened at the first time, and the upper room where Su Shun was was of course no exception.

"These soft bones, these useless things, really disgrace the face of the reader!" Su Shun scolded, although in the face of the bayonets of the reactionary army of the Ming Dynasty, his performance was not much better than others, but he was different from the Sichuan scholars here, he was just passing by to play soy sauce, and he was not a Sichuan scholar, of course, he didn't have to stand up and use his chest to fight the enemy's bayonets.

"Lord, lord, don't say a word! The Ming army is coming to search......"

The obedient entourage in the room hurriedly reminded: "Master, we still have a guy!" If they find out......"

"Guy......" Su Shun patted his head, and then remembered that his subordinates were all carrying pistols! Although the new Ming Dynasty did not prohibit people from owning pistols (rifles require a certificate to hold), but now this is a special case! These people are all visitors from Saibei, and they have a gun in their hands, and they still live in Gongyuan Street, where Sichuan troublemakers are concentrated, and they can't be washed when they jump into the Yangtze River!

"Hurry up, hide the guys! Remember, we are merchants from outside the border, originally from Beizhili Tianjin Mansion, and we are doing fur and ginseng trading! If you are caught, no one can say that you are from the Bohai Kingdom, do you know the way? If anyone dares to sell his master, his wife and children will be demoted to a coat! ”

Su Shun stomped his feet, hurriedly ordered his subordinates to hide all the pistols under the bed, taught nonsense, and threatened a few words, and prayed silently in his heart not to show the flaws to the Ming army who was investigating. It's a pity that it backfired, and the Ming army who came in to investigate immediately arrested them indiscriminately when they heard their northern accent, and found the hidden pistol after another search......
