Chapter 0438: Into the City
After sleeping all night, Huang Taiji didn't want to wander around when he got up the next day. The Han people are good at being craftsmen and like farming, and he knows all these things. Under the rule of the 'revolutionary army' it is nothing more than stronger. After being surprised a lot, he gradually accepted it, and he didn't feel very surprised. He had already seen the strength of the 'revolutionary army' when he infiltrated Tianjin this time, and then he wanted to think about how to restrain this great enemy.
"The strength of this 'revolutionary army' lies in the ordnance. If I can obtain the method of smelting and crafting its armaments, so that my Dajin can also be equipped with strong armor blades, I will naturally not be afraid of them. Huang Taiji still prefers to think about the problem simply.
It can't be compared to craftsmen, it can't be compared to business, it can't be compared to farming, and even it can't be compared to management or anything, but Huang Taiji is still willing to believe that his Jurchen warriors are the strongest in the world.
After all, Da Ming is also strong in everything, but he was beaten by the Jurchens. This 'revolutionary army' is nothing more than a better-equipped Ming army. As long as he can get the same equipment, Huang Taiji feels that he can still win.
According to Huang Taiji's idea, if you want to obtain the secret of the 'revolutionary army' to build ordnance, it is nothing more than to lure its craftsmen. He didn't know what industrialization was, and felt that as long as he found a few skilled craftsmen, he could dig up Zhou Qingfeng's secrets. It's just that this question was asked in front of Liu Fucheng, and this brocade-clothed guard Qianhu scratched his head and said that it was not easy.
"The place where the 'revolutionary army' built ordnance was not in Tianjin, but in Jinzhou. My Jinyi Wei sent a lot of people to investigate, but there was never any news. Speaking of this, Liu Fucheng sighed, "The 'revolutionary army' is very happy to sell commercial goods, but it is strictly confidential about how to manufacture these commercial goods. ”
The Yanma sent by Liu Fucheng wanted to curry favor with Zhou Qingfeng, but the Yanma was reused, but it was completely out of his control. He sent his apprentice Yuan Qingying to pull the relationship, but the woman did not stay and never returned-as the so-called 'stealing chickens does not make rice', this transaction is a big loss.
"Golden State?" Huang Taiji was also distressed by this. The Jurchens were particularly fond of using room when dealing with the Han people, and the men and horses he sent to the four guards in southern Liaoning added up to thousands. But these people are also gone.
The spies sent by Jiannu are basically illiterate, and they will only run around without training, and they will not be able to hide at all, but they have become a sample of the experience of rookies in the security department of the 'revolutionary army'. Even if someone is hidden, it is difficult to do anything in the face of the ID card system.
"There are no skilled craftsmen in Tianjin who are good at smelting mineral deposits and crafting weapons? My Dajin has a lot of mines in Liaodong, and there is a shortage of skilled craftsmen. As long as someone is willing to defect, I will immediately raise the flag for him as a master, and reward the women of gold and silver land. Huang Taiji felt that he would definitely be able to attract some people under the heavy reward.
Liu Fucheng was in a dilemma, if the craftsmen of the 'revolutionary army' were so easy to recruit, he would have dug the corners by himself. After thinking for a long time, he said uncertainly: "Recently, the 'revolutionary army' has captured the Luan County area northeast of Tianjin, and they have transferred tens of thousands of people to mine and build roads. I've heard of what kind of steel mill is going to be built there, and maybe where to find suitable craftsmen. It's just that....... ”
"Just what?"
Zhou Qingfeng kept an eye on the steel plant very closely, prohibiting outsiders from approaching. If Huang Ye goes, I'm afraid there will be some trouble. ”
"Hmph, that kid dared to come to my Hetuara to make trouble, and I'm going to explore his dangerous place this time."
Zhou Qingfeng got rid of the concubine of the dignified lord of the Golden Kingdom, and this matter has become an unspeakable secret within Jiannu. Huang Taiji naturally wanted to take revenge for such humiliation. Since he began to use Hanchen extensively, he gathered the slaves of the Han family into an army, and his cultivation has increased day by day, and it has reached a point where it was unimaginable in the past. I came to Tianjin to show off my might and do evil.
Since Huang Taiji has decided on this matter, Liu Fucheng is also indispensable. He also wanted to test what the 'revolutionary army' was doing in Luanxian. The more heavily guarded it was, the more he wanted to see it.
This kind of secret thing will definitely not work if there are too many people. Dafu Jin Zhezhe can't take it, so he can only leave some servants to take care of it. Yang Jian's skills are not high, and low is not low. He was light enough to control the crane to fly, so he simply stayed at the inn and guarded, and reported something to him. Huang Taiji only brought Gu Yuanwei, Liu Fucheng, and three or four personal guards.
As soon as Huang Taiji left, Zhezhe, who was only eighteen years old, immediately had a heart attack, so he called Yang Jian and ordered: "Xiao Jianzi, you are Han, you are familiar with the place, take me to Tianjin City for a walk." ”
What's ......, Yang Jian almost knelt down when she heard this, and waved her hand again and again: "Heroine, I don't dare to take you there." When Four-Baylor left, he said that he would serve you well. Whatever you want to eat and drink, I'll get you everything. If you want to buy anything, you just have to ask. If you want to go shopping, you can only go around here, and it is absolutely impossible to enter the city. Zhou Qingfeng was not a kind person that day, and his minions were also very powerful. ”
Zhezhe pestered to see the prosperity of the Central Plains. Huang Taiji collected all kinds of "revolutionary army" newspapers, and she was also very interested in all kinds of anecdotes in the newspapers. finally waited for Huang Taiji to leave, how could she not be a little cautious?
"I finally got here, and it's so boring to walk around the city. I'm sure I'll not make trouble, so I'll go into the city and take a look. As the master, Zhezhe rarely hoped to be supported by Yang Jian in a gentle tone.
But where can Yang Jian support it? He shook his head like a rattle, and he just wouldn't agree. After repeating this several times, Zhezhe, who was the Fourth Baylor Great Fujin, was suddenly annoyed, raised his hand and slapped it, leaving a palm print on Yang Jian's face.
Yang Jian's face didn't hurt, but his heart was very bitter. He had seen how Allah cleaned up the slaves underneath. The master is good and bad, and his personality is ruthless and brutal. It's okay for a sane person like Huang Taiji to say, but Zhezhe has all kinds of unreasonable and inexplicable ideas from time to time. If the minions can't do it, all kinds of punishments will come.
Yang Jian is 'scolding and not scolding, not fighting back', so he can only kneel and suffer. But Zhezhe slapped him a few times and didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, so he left the inn and went to the street directly with his personal servant, and squeezed up a passing bus.
Yang Jian was suddenly frightened, and followed with a stream of urine. He is a minion, and he can't touch Zhezhe's body, and he can't stop it. After getting into the bus, he could only make a bitter effort to Zhezhe and beg her not to cause trouble.
Zhezhe is dressed as a woman from the Han family, but she is richly dressed and has outstanding appearance, and others can see at a glance that her identity is unusual. The civilians sitting in the carriage were originally chatting, but when they saw her, they all looked at her in a daze. Looking at the fact that she was accompanied by a few guards who were either low-eyed or vicious, everyone in the car knew that this must be the daughter of a rich family.
Zhezhe was calm, and it was the first time she sat with these people at the bottom of society, and it was quite special. She didn't say much, just her eyes scanned everywhere, curious about everything.
Early in the morning, a large number of peasant households brought their goods into the city to sell, and many people in the city also went out to work. It's just that the river is endless, and the vibrant population is something that Zhezhe has never seen before. The people here live peacefully, there are few disputes, there are no guards who can wield a whip at any time, and there are no slaves who die at every turn.
Zhezhe's Chinese is not very good, and he can't understand the dialect of Tianjin. She only felt that the carriage seemed to enter the city gate, and the passengers in the carriage got off one after another, and she followed.
"Where is this?" Zhezhe stood aimlessly in the flow of people, three points afraid, seven points comfortable. She asked Yang Jian, and Yang Jian was also at a loss about Tianjin City, which had been unrecognizable.
Yang Jian had been to Tianjin with Gu Yuanwei in the past, but although Tianjin in his memory was a big city, it did not have such spacious streets in front of him, not so many two- and three-story buildings, and not so many people coming and going. He vaguely remembered that this was the north gate of Tianjin, but when he came in, he found that the whole city had changed.
Tianjin's cross-central axis was re-planned by Xu Bing, and it became a number of different districts for administration, transportation, commerce, and entertainment according to different functions. Because the old Tianjin city is actually very small, so in order to accommodate these functional areas, the city had to carry out a major transformation, the original low houses were almost all demolished and rebuilt, and two- and three-story buildings continued to rise from the ground to improve the utilization rate of the area.
The north of the city happens to be a commercial area, and there are several large restaurants as soon as you enter the city gate. One of the restaurants is still under construction, which is already more than four storeys high, and it stands like a golden pagoda, which is extremely magnificent. The restaurant has not yet been built, but the signboard has already been played - Happy Forest.
Yang Jian felt familiar as soon as he saw this signboard, and thought about it carefully, isn't this the hotel where Guo Jiao, the eldest lady of the Guo family, was originally Fushun? Now Fushun's happy forest has been ruined, the original cook Xiao Er died, escaped, and most of the people who were still alive became slaves. It's embarrassing to think about it now - I can't imagine that people will build a bigger building in Tianjin.
This new 'Happy Forest' hotel is even more magnificent than the previous one, and it looks like it can only be opened by people with backers.
"Hostess, let's go. This place is too dangerous. Yang Jian looked left and right, for fear that he would see Zhou Qingfeng coming out of the horns of the cold.
"There is so much excitement in this city, what is the danger?" Zhezhe felt that everything was new, there were not so many trembling minions here, but there were smiling faces everywhere. Even the minions around her seem to be 'Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden', and her eyes are really not enough to see.
"Eh......, little Jane, what are the bunch of people doing over there?" Zhezhe saw that there were many people on the side of the road, and she didn't dare to go over, so she instructed Yang Jian to go over.
Yang Jian took a closer look, then came back with a wry smile and said, "I bought breakfast over there, just for breakfast." ”
"So many people are gathered around that stall just to have breakfast?" Zhezhe even found this interesting, she watched others order some steamed buns or something, and she also got together and wanted something.
With a wave of his hand, he shouted in a thick northern accent: "Queue up and queue up, do you people from other places understand the rules?" ”
Zhezhe didn't understand, but he saw the meaning of waving his hand to drive away. She frowned and snorted, then returned to Yang Jian's side and ordered, "You go and buy that stall, even the one that bought early is also bought for the master." ”
In the face of this brutal master, Yang Jian is dumb and eats coptis, and he can't say anything about his suffering. He could only plead in a low voice: "Mistress, I beg you." If something happens to you, I can't afford it. People here don't sell themselves to others as slaves easily. ”
"Then why are you willing to be a slave to us?" Zhezhe immediately asked rhetorically.
Yang Jian was stunned, he couldn't say anything regretful.
