The heavens behind Li Xi have a 3,000-year historical heritage, which is naturally much more profound than the more than 60 years when the Manchus stole and occupied China. For more than 60 years, although three generations have passed, it is not enough to erase the Chinese heritage, and if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Taiping Army are out at this time, people will not call it "long hair" with contempt and hatred.

When the Anglo-Chinese officers and soldiers in disguise appeared in Guangzhou, the hearts of the general public experienced a shock again, and the impact was fierce, even greater than the reaction of Li Shi when he captured Guangzhou.

It is no wonder that clothing and clothing go straight to the depths of people's hearts, and the latter is naturally more significant than the change of the court and the change of the legal system.

Guangzhou City, a restaurant on the south side of Huiai West Street Avenue is full of people, the north of this restaurant is the Qiren area that was "demolished" by artillery fire a few days ago, the ruins and pieces of rubble silently tell the audience the shock of this battle, take such a scene as a snack, while eating and watching and talking is a pleasure, it is no wonder that business here is booming.

A group of people entered the lobby, the hustle and bustle suddenly dissipated, this group of people was like a humanoid ice cave, all the way to the top floor of the restaurant, where they passed, everyone's eyes were straight, their bodies were stiff, and it was difficult to speak.

The dark red right shirt is long, the wide sleeves are only above the elbow, revealing a large section of blue arrow sleeves, although the color is a little taboo, the style is a little weird, but it is not too unusual, but the blue and blue hard head on the head of these people is so familiar, it is the main reason that shocks the diners.

Isn't that the black gauze hat of the former Ming!? It's just that there are no hard wings.

I don't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, among these people, there was a ten-year-old boy who took off his hat and scratched his head while walking, which made the diners stop breathing, and there was a layer of green stubble on their heads, and the familiar money rat tail pigtail was nowhere to be seen.

In addition to their costumes, this group of people also carried long swords at their waists, quite like the soldiers who traveled far away with swords in the previous dynasty, until they went up to the top floor and disappeared for a long time, and the diners reacted one after another, and the discussion started again, but it was much smaller than before.

"Where did this come from!?"

A fat, gorgeously dressed man asked in surprise.

"What's the show...... That's the new Korean generals, and that's how they dressed when they weren't in the camp. ”

The people at the table have a little insight and explain to everyone.

"New Dynasty?"

The fat man was still a little puzzled.

"Hey...... Outside of Zhong Yuan, you don't even know that Li Xi is in our newly established Yinghua country in Guangdong? ”

"Li Xian......"

When the fat man surnamed Zhong heard this name, he immediately looked stunned.

"This Li Xian's newly established Yinghua has actually restored the old face of the old country! His heart is not small. ”

"The scholars have all run away, what's the use of having a big heart?"

"Yes, I heard that the Tianwang Mansion is recruiting scholars everywhere, as long as you have not committed the major event of silver annihilation and plunder, read a few books, and know the way to do things, you can enter the sixth room of the county government, and even be selected by the six departments of the Shangshu Hall."

"The ancestors of those scholars are still dressed like this, and now they have braids, they are considered ancestors, phew!"

"That's right! As long as I restore my Han family's clothes, it will be Zhengshuo! ”

"Tang is not a scholar, but he has also read a few sage books, since the new dynasty is such a scene, Tang is determined to serve the new dynasty!"

"Count Song! We are all surnamed Han Jiasheng, and this braid should also be removed! ”

The other table seemed to be a group of hot-blooded young people, drunk and slapping the table and shouting.

"Daddy......"

At a table in the corner, a young man looked at the old man at the same table with expectant eyes.

"Today's imperial court has won the hearts of the people of the world, how can this corner of Guangdong compete with the world? The gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, we Qu family, and it is important to inherit the ancestral incense. ”【1】

The old man muttered in a low voice, not daring to look at his son.

"Wen Tianxiang has a poem: 'Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Danqing to shine on sweat'! Even if the court is full of people's hearts, at least it doesn't have grandpa's heart! As far as Li Shi's new dynasty is concerned, I am dressed in Chinese clothes, and the reader should take it seriously! The other readers ran away, and I Qu Chengshuo! ”

The young man was screaming, and the old man was still shaking his head.

"Father, where did I get my name? Your name is Qu Minghong, how did you get this name? ”

The young man's words became more and more presumptuous, the old man snorted angrily, raised his hand, and didn't know whether to slap the table or hit someone, but the pupils of his son's burning eyes fell weakly.

"You're talented...... I'm afraid that Li Shi won't recognize ......"

The old man clumsily made excuses.

"Hey, old man, you're wrong, that Li Xian, he is a showman!"

"A showman, if he wants to enter the six departments of the Shangshu Hall of the Heavenly King's Mansion, they can't ask for it, so they go together!"

The hot-blooded young man at the table also heard the conversation between father and son, and the two surnamed Tang Song hurriedly pasted it.

"Li Xian, ah......"

At the other table, the foreign minister of the bell exhaled and his eyes were clear.

"Although it is a bad relationship, it is always a friendship, I hope Li Xian has not forgotten my Lai Yipin......"

Zhong Shangwei, who was a public servant in Guangzhou, finally made up his mind, he had just completed his psychological construction not long ago, and changed the image of Li Shi from a poor boy in the countryside in Fengtian Village, Yingde to a big thief who eats all in black and white, and now he has to change to a hidden dragon with Tianxian in his mouth and in his hand, this process is indeed a bit difficult.

But compared with the gloomy future of sitting on the mountain, this awkwardness is nothing, Zhong Shangwei felt that although he had a little holiday with Li Xian earlier, he asked himself if it was not Yang Chun's kind of life and death feud, Li Xian is such a character now, he should not be too deep, but will think about the villagers and give some benefits, right?

"Heavenly King's Mansion Warning!"

The restaurant was hotly discussed, and the shopkeeper rushed in and shouted loudly, and then posted a notice in a prominent position.

"Braid-cutting order!"

The diners who got close to each other took a cursory look at those words, and their faces turned pale.

"Do you want to keep braids without your head, and keep your head without braids?"

On the top floor of the restaurant, the more than a dozen dark red robes and heroic people occupied a large table, talking about the admonition of the Heavenly King's Mansion. He Mengfeng, who was dressed in a new dress, looked really much more energetic than before, he took off his black gauze hat, and asked worriedly while touching his bald head.

"Of course not, but if you want to keep braids, you have to pay braids tax, give a braided license, and when the time comes, you will be interrogated, and you will have to be fined if you don't have a license!"

An Wei said with a smile, it was this guy who deliberately picked up his hat and scratched his head in the lobby downstairs.

"Then Chen Ju is going to die of busyness......"

Han Zaixing smiled, Chen Ju, the original Nanhai County Dictionary History, was appointed as the newly built Guangzhou County Historian to oversee the arrest and inspection affairs of the entire Guangzhou City, and this kind of work was of course handed over to him for jurisdiction.

"That is, at the beginning, Reke received the edict of the Heavenly King, and the edict was not yet completed, and the news was already known throughout the city. One of my brothers was going to cut his braids, and the shavers all over the city were so busy that they had no choice but to hastily twist them with scissors. ”

Zheng Wei answered the phone and took off his hat as well.

A table of bald heads, everyone looked at each other, and involuntarily laughed.

"The king of heaven has returned to his homeland, but he has returned to our big soldiers, and his intentions are really good."

He Mengfeng sighed with satisfaction, he and the families of many military standard generals had already taken over, Li Shi gave them a lot of choices, and those who were unwilling to eat military rations were waiting for them with a large number of well-paid positions such as Qingtian Company, Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, and Sanjiang Ticket Bank. For those who want to engage in politics, there are also a lot of vacancies in the newly reorganized canonical history inspection system, which is in charge of public security and arrest, and does not have to go to the battlefield to fight against the previous imperial court.

He Mengfeng and a few others were determined to continue to serve as soldiers, so Li Shi arranged for them to go to the Huangpu Martial Arts School, organized a short-term training class, and distributed positions after completing their studies depending on the situation.

So He Mengfeng caught up with the good time when Li Shi restored the clothes of the Han family in the army, and when these officers were not in the camp, they all wore the regular clothes of the Han family soldiers, and they could also be equipped with swords.

"My Yinghua New Dynasty must be both civil and military, for our martial artists, the sea is wide and the sky is high, and there is a great career waiting for us! Come, for the celebration of the new trend, do a bowl! ”

Han Zaixing also entered the army as he wished, this table is all students of the short training class, the age is different, but the heart of merit is the same, the bright voice should be in line at the moment, and a big bowl of wine is grunting.

"The civil officials of the three halls and six departments are envious of us, not to mention this regular uniform, our dress in the camp, that is magnificent, yes, magnificent!"

Among the people at this table, An Wei and Li Shi have the closest relationship, and the news is naturally the most well-informed, which makes people's eyes shine, but when they want to ask again, An Wei is silent again, and everyone is so angry that everyone scolds.

"Let's pay more attention to the rank and title of our martial artists......"

An Wei successfully changed the topic, and everyone's eyes were confused, Han, Tang, Song and Ming, which one will be used?

Outside the restaurant, a group of soldiers lined up, dressed like never before, and the street was suddenly crowded with people, and the buzz overshadowed the hustle and bustle of the restaurant.

It is very different from the short size shirt bloomers and turban wrapped in the green camp, with a bright red cardigan long jacket, blue narrow pants, and high-top boots under the feet, the shape is similar to the previous Qingtian guard, but the belt around the waist and the left and right shoulders are all white, red and white, and extremely eye-catching. And the head is no longer the hat or felt hat of the past, but a somewhat strange shape, an octagonal flat hat of the same color as the clothes, slightly higher in front, and a white curved brim covering the forehead.

With muskets behind their backs and sheathed spears at their waists, seventy or eighty men marched in formation, as if they were a great army.

"Erzai......, hurry up and go home and bring out the basin and jug!"

"What's that for, Dad?"

"This is Master Wang! Crimson is the color of the former dynasty's kings! ”

"Yes, yes, we have to welcome the king......"

The people on the street brought basins and jars on top of them, and knelt down in front of the small procession on the side of the street.

"Eat pot pulp to welcome the king......"

Behind the crowd, although Ye Tianshi did not kneel, he felt that something in the corner of his eyes was hot and wet, and he remembered a lot of things, especially the old things in Jiangnan that his father had told him.

"The people who really should be welcomed are already lying on the ground......"

He sighed so lowly.

"Although it was late, it was finally ushered in, and the 700,000 loyal souls underground should also be blinded."

A voice sounded beside him, Ye Tianshi turned his head to look, it was a young man, he had seen it in Yingci Academy, Xu Lingti.

"Mr. Ye, your family is on their way to Guangzhou, don't go back."

Xu Lingti grinned, Ye Tianshi didn't know if he was frightened by the news, or was shaken by his white teeth, so he stayed on the spot.
