Chapter 102 Shangyuan Festival

Of course, this time they did not perform the original court dance with a glamorous sound and very seductive style, nor did they wear gorgeous and violent dance costumes, this time Liu Hou asked them to change into the military uniforms of the Hong Army, holding weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, etc., and playing sonorous and powerful music such as "Ambush on All Sides" and "General Order".

Although their dance did not look good because of the lack of rehearsal time and the novelty of the theme, many soldiers were very moved. The emperor can still remember them during the New Year, and it is not easy to give them rewards, but I didn't expect the emperor to personally walk into the barracks and celebrate the New Year with them.

What I didn't expect was that the emperor also brought songs and dances to labor the army, which is really unheard of, isn't such a good emperor the object of his own blood and service?

The most lively is the Lantern Festival, the fifteenth day of the first month is the Shangyuan Festival, every household puts up lanterns, eats soup balls, guesses lantern riddles, appreciates flower lanterns, burns firecrackers. Liu Hou once again abused his power by bringing in an artillery battalion and letting them set off fireworks with mortars in front of the palace gates.

The last time I put off this kind of large-scale fireworks was in Panyu City, I didn't expect to return to Chengdu this time, and I became the emperor, and the experience of life is so magical, just like Forrest Gump said, life is like a box of chocolates.

Although the birthplace of fire#medicine is in Chengdu, most Chengdu people have never seen fireworks, and when the colorful fireworks explode over Chengdu, everyone is stunned. Fortunately, the government posted a notice in advance, saying that this was a firework for everyone to watch, otherwise these ignorant people would have thought that some of the gods had stepped on the colorful auspicious clouds to come down.

The colors and styles of the fireworks this time are much richer than those set off in Panyu City, which is the result of Zhang Xingcai's efforts some time ago. Of course, Zhang Xingcai's main purpose in developing fireworks of different types and colors is still for communication and for viewing, but it is just a side effect.

After burning the fireworks, Liu Hou and the three queens planned to pay a private visit and go out to see the folk lantern festival. This is not an easy task, and the main problem is the security measures. The streets are crowded like carp, foreign hostile forces are eyeing each other, and the emperor and the three mothers are crowded in the crowd, how should this security work be done?

This is a bad thing for the security captain Zhao Tong. Oh, he now has a new name called General Yulin Zhonglang, referred to as General Yulin, the army he commands is called Yulin Wei, and the establishment is the original regiment plus the guard battalion, a total of 2,000 people.

Originally, Liu Hou wanted to give them a name to pull the trend, such as what to call the Central Guard Regiment, the Dahan Royal Guard, the Zhongnanhai Bodyguard, and the like. However, Guo Youzhi said that people like them have a special name, called Yu Linlang, which is more popular.

Guo Youzhi now understands the temper of this little emperor, and often learns Liu Hou to say some novel words, not to mention, Liu Hou eats this set, since Lord Guo said that this name is popular, then continue to use this name, anyway, the name is a code name, and he has never paid much attention to these things.

Now that the emperor said that he was going to go out of the palace for a private visit, how could he not be in a hurry to spoil him, the captain of the palace security team, after the persuasion was ineffective, he could only try his best to take good security measures.

First of all, he asked the emperor and the three ladies to wear special inner armor, this kind of inner armor is a high-grade product developed by the "Ministry of Industry", which has a good protective effect on the sword, although it can not completely block the close-range blow of the fire # gun, but at least it can consume most of the kinetic energy of the lead # bullet, so that the person who is shot is injured but does not die.

Liu Hou is accustomed to this kind of inner armor, he usually wears it in front of everyone, but the three queens are very repulsive to this thing that is both bulky and affects the figure, but Liu Hou still strongly asks them to wear it, fortunately in winter, everyone originally wore more clothes, this inner armor is not thick, and it is only slightly bloated when worn inside.

Then Zhao Tong mobilized 500 Yu Lin Wei, all of whom wore civilian clothes and dressed up as ordinary people of various professions, such as hawkers, jugglers, literati, and so on. These people are different on the outside, but they are all the same on the inside.

The so-called inside refers to the inside of their clothes, and each of them has a short knife, a revolver# gun, and three hardcover thunderbolts hidden in their clothes. The revolver # gun was originally only owned by Liu Hou alone, and it was large and bulky.

Now after improvement, the volume and weight are much smaller, barely can be carried, although it has a short range, but the biggest advantage is that after a good load, it can fire six shots in a row, which can form a firepower advantage in a short time, and now this kind of gun is only equipped with Yu Linwei, and the number is not much, there are only two hundred in total, this time Zhao Tong took them all out, equipped with the accompanying civilian clothes Yu Linwei.

The so-called hardcover version of the Thunderbolt is also different from the Thunderbolt generally used in the army, the difference is that their shape is flat, not the pineapple-like shape used in the army.

The main purpose of this change is to reduce its transverse diameter while maintaining the amount of charge, so that when they are hidden in clothing, they will not bulge into a large piece and attract attention. This is also a model specially used by # Yu Linwei, which is to facilitate their use when performing tasks in plain clothes.

Now, the plainclothes Yulinwei are scattered around the emperor and the three maidens in various forms, and in addition to these Yulinwei, there are some special guards, who are female guards.

Before Liu Hou had a team of female soldiers around him, Sun Shangxiang stayed, and later Liu Hou led the troops out to fight and left these female soldiers in Chengdu, and then these female soldiers were old, Liu Hou let them retire and marry, and the women's barracks have since been disbanded.

This time Liu Hou came back and reorganized the women's barracks, these female soldiers are mainly used by the three queens as guards, and each queen is currently equipped with a hundred female soldiers, equivalent to a company.

They were also dressed in civilian clothes and mingled with the crowd, but these female soldiers had only been in the army for a long time, and their training time was still short, so it was estimated that they could play a limited role in security work.

Liu Hou, the three queens and Zhao Tong, the big light bulb, walked on the streets of the imperial city, and there were many pedestrians on the street, but not as many as expected. Liu Hou was accustomed to seeing big scenes in the big cities of later generations, when some large-scale events were often crowded with people rubbing shoulders one after another, and it was impossible to really go fast.

At this time, although Chengdu was regarded as the capital of Shu, its population was only a few hundred thousand, which was equivalent to the population of a county in later generations, and compared with those tens of millions of provincial capitals, it was simply a drop in the bucket.

Moreover, the Lantern Festival at this time was still just emerging, and it had not yet developed so many connotations in later generations, nor did it have so many programs, and the lively Cheng dù was naturally not comparable to later generations, anyway, Liu Hou was boring to watch. The three girls are quite happy, after all, they usually have a hard time coming out to play.

The bored Liu Hou was thinking about whether he could see any special situations, such as evil young people bullying men and women, for example, people shouting grievances on the street, and then there were ruffians and hooligans looking for stumbling and making trouble, etc.

It's a pity that Liu Hou was disappointed again, Liu Bei ruled the world with benevolence and virtue, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the security in Chengdu was very good. The ruffians and hooligans have all been arrested, the new regime has just been established, the new privileged class has not yet become a climate, and the evil young people dare not be too presumptuous.

Especially the new emperor made a strong return with the momentum of thunder, the officials faced the threat of being liquidated, and the dignitaries and nobles were all holding their tails to behave, at this time, no one dared to let the younger generations of the family be arrogant outside, and the evil young people were strictly ordered to act in a low-key manner.

Therefore, Liu Hou wanted to emulate the Qing Dynasty emperor in that TV series who often did not do his job properly and went around to investigate cases privately, and he also wanted to get some cases out to play, who knew that what he saw on the street was a peaceful scene, which made him so bored.

The three girls were full of interest and had fun along the way, buying a string of rock sugar gourds, completely ignoring the image of the mother's honor in the world, chewing on the street, buying a mask, putting it on and pretending to be a ghost to make trouble, and then going to see a juggling show, applauding loudly and slapping their palms.

After the three of them are military generals, their personalities are more lively and active, only about the silver bottle is relatively quiet, but it is only relative, in fact, Guan Yinhua is also the kind of person who practices martial arts diligently. Today, the three of them are very open, have fun, and show the lively and lovely style of the girl.

Although, strictly speaking, they are already young women, but, after all, in terms of age, they still belong to the category of girls.

The group walked and came to an archery stall, which was similar in nature to the stall in later generations where a few toys were placed for guests to use rings to set and the toys could be taken away.

The essence is the same, but the form has changed, the ferrule has become archery, and the difficulty has increased a lot. This archery booth can buy an arrow for a penny, and you can receive a prize if you hit the target heart 100 steps away.

The prizes are not valuable things, they are all small toys, such as puppets, various animals carved from wood, characters, etc., are some handmade products, and they are very cheap things from the point of view of materials, but they need to spend some time and time to do it.

However, the difficulty of this game is very high, and if you shoot a heart from a hundred steps away, that is, the legendary hundred steps through the yang, and non-archers can't do it. Ordinary archers, then they can only bet on probability, bet on luck, try a few more arrows, there is always one who can happen to win.

To bet on probability and luck, they need to pay a lot of copper money to buy arrows, and in the end they realize that the money they paid for arrows far exceeds the value of the prize. However, despite the difficulty of this game, there are still many people lining up to play it.

Because this is the same as gambling, most people believe that they are the illegitimate children of Lady Luck and they will win, and another reason is that archery itself is a fun game, even if you don't win, you can have a good time, so why not?
