Chapter 49: What Did You Do to My Sister?
"Can you teach me how to use this?"
Yang Feng put on a smile that he thought was very sunny and quietly appeared next to Zhang Fu's sister.
And he also has someone else's slingshot in his hand.
The latter smiled at him, took the slingshot from his hand very happily, and glanced at him again, Yang Feng hurriedly continued to perform his smile, Miss Zhang smiled again, and took out a sun-dried clay projectile from her waist pocket, let it be placed in the pocket in the middle of the bowstring, and pulled the bow to aim into the distance.
"Look!"
She said.
Yang Feng nodded hurriedly.
The next moment, the slingshot in her hand suddenly went down.
Then the bowstring of the right hand is released, and the left hand holding the bow is flung outward.
The projectile instantly hit the helmet that suddenly appeared in Yang Feng's hand, although the hardness of this special mud pellet was not low, but it still smashed on the helmet, and then turned into countless small debris flying out.
"Understood, you have to shake it while ejaculating, otherwise it will be easy to hit yourself."
Yang Feng said very seriously.
Miss Zhang, who failed in the sneak attack, snorted angrily, stomped on the top of his feet with her head held high, and then instinctively crushed it, but then frowned, looking like she wanted to cry......
"I picked a pebble on it."
Yang Feng said very sincerely.
This is indeed outrageous, you must know that although she rides a horse, but like this kind of wealthy daughter, even if she rides a horse, she is nothing more than wearing a little leather boots......
Ah, Zhu Yuanzhang is not allowed to wear leather boots.
However, she did wear a pair of small leather boots on her feet, and it was obvious that no one would care about her little girl in such a place where the emperor was far away, but in any case, the soles of her shoes at this time were at most layers of leather, and then she was stomping on the stones at the end of his boots, and then grinding hard, this time the heel was very sore.
Miss Zhang, who was still unwilling, gritted her teeth, and slammed her right arm into his chest with all her might, and then finally cried in pain.
"There is a thing on my chest called a bulletproof insert, it is very hard, I really didn't mean this, since I came to you, I have always needed to be vigilant, don't look at your brother and I have a very happy chat, in fact, I don't know if your emperor has given him a secret decree, find an opportunity to give me an arrow in the back. The mutual trust between me and your emperor is very fragile, so in this case, as long as I am with someone like your brother, I must take adequate defenses, including body armor on my body, and even carry weapons.
I don't really like this kind of life either, but I'd better be patient for the time being just to be safe! ”
Yang Feng sighed beside her.
He was telling the truth, and the mutual trust between him and Zhu Yuanzhang was very fragile.
He really didn't know when His Majesty the Emperor would suddenly be ruthless and simply strangle him to death, so he still had to be vigilant at all times.
Miss Zhang's tears of pain came down at this time, how could she be in the mood to listen to his nonsense explanation, covering her right elbow that was almost numb, and walking forward crying with one limp on one foot, completely looking loveless.
Anyway, is this Zhu Di's noblewoman?
However, looking at the age, it should be about the same, originally in history, Zhang Guifei was sealed in the seventh year of Yongle, but this cannot be used as an age reference, after all, she must have followed Zhu Di a long time ago.
No one noticed the interaction between the two of them, at this time, Zhang Fu was still studying those Fur machines with those civilian and military generals, especially those military generals, who were stationed here often went deep into the grassland, so they naturally knew very well the value of such a light rapid-fire artillery. In the past, they already had an absolute advantage over the remnant Yuan, in fact, every time the Ming army fought deep into the grassland in recent years, the result was a complete victory, and with these artillery, it can be said to be crushing.
Yang Feng looked around with emotion, surrounded by lively military households.
However, there is really not much population in this city, the population statistics of Hongwu in the eighth year, 70,000 people, 70,000 military registration, just the same, in fact, there are more than 1,000 military registrations, his population statistics are not Ding, Hongwu Dynasty statistics are men, women and children, his yellow book on a family of men, women and children, land, real estate are all there, and even several families together have a map to match, a map is the most basic unit.
So this number is the actual population, and it is difficult to have a hidden population, after all, this is not the time for the local gentry to do whatever they want in the late Ming Dynasty.
After that, even if there is more than ten years of growth, it will not increase too much, and the largest increase is estimated to be Zhu Di's three guards, but it is actually an additional guard, because two guards are originally adapted from the jurisdiction of the Beiping Metropolitan Command Envoy.
So now it's up to 200,000 people.
The population pattern should still be half military and half civilian, this is a pure border fortress.
And not all of them live in Beiping City, because the people are registered in Daxing and Wanping counties, and there are also a large number of military registrations in the surrounding military tuns.
The people who actually live in the city are only more than 100,000 people at most.
"What did you do to my sister?"
Zhang Fu, who finally found out that his sister was crying, walked up to Yang Feng and said in an unkind tone.
"The conscience of heaven and earth, I just asked her how to use a slingshot, and she taught me how to use a slingshot, do you think I am the kind of person who molests women, you don't want to tarnish people's innocence out of thin air?"
Yang Feng said innocently.
"That's all?"
"Otherwise, what do you think, what outrageous things have I done to her? If you doubt it so much then I can admit it, say, what do you want me to admit? ”
"Well, Zhang didn't mean that, he just came to ask."
Zhang Fu hurriedly said.
Indeed, this bastard just did something, and he can't admit it!
His sister is not married yet, if it is really spread as a rumor, then how can he marry, but he still has some trust in Yang Feng, after all, this guy's rejection of Zhou Dexing's bunch of beautiful girls has already spread in the capital. And there is a little maid beside him, who has not started for so many days in the capital, this is what those brocade guards are watching from the side, and the little maid is clearly able to let him do whatever he wants, but he has never started.
Therefore, Ambassador Yang is not that lustful person, which is well known in the capital, and since this is the case, it is all misunderstood.
Misunderstanding and non-misunderstanding are all misunderstandings!
"What do I think of the poor morale of these military families around me!"
Yang Feng said.
The spirit of the military households here is obviously weaker than those in the capital, but it is certainly not because of not having enough to eat, the nutritional level is enough from the face, but it feels that the atmosphere is not as good as the capital, or it can also be said that the proportion of smiles on the face is lower, unlike in the capital, going out for a turn is laughter, and the atmosphere here obviously makes people feel a little depressed.
"The military households in Beiping are all southerners, from the land of flowers in the south of the Yangtze River, where a few stones per mu are produced, they were sent to this bitter cold land in the north, and the hard work of producing one stone per mu a year is a good year, and future generations will have to be here, and then think about the people who generally fought for His Majesty back then, but still enjoyed happiness in the south of the Yangtze River, who do you think laughed?"
"Well, it's not too bitter here, is it?"
"It's not very bitter, and Kaiping, Daning is really not bitter, but don't forget, they are all born in the south of the Yangtze River for generations, here after a few days of freezing, storms and snow, those who stay in the south, but are already watching the winter wheat and wait for the next year's harvest."
"But there is no way to defend the border for the country."
"There's really no way, so they're still here, but you can't expect them all to laugh, they can't laugh, do you have to make them laugh?"
Zhang Fu said.
So it can be understood that the armies in Beiping support Zhu Di so much.
How could they support Zhu Di, obviously they wanted to leave this ghost place quickly and go back to their hometown in Jiangnan to live happily, but they did get their wish, but the result was that Zhu Di moved the capital and had to come back with the emperor, fortunately, the emperor did not have to worry about lack here, but until the time of the civil fort, the first reaction of the nobles in the capital was to hurry up and leave and return to Nanjing, so that they would not suffer in this place.
"Is there anyone named Zheng He next to your king? It may also be called Ma and. ”
Yang Feng diverted from this topic and said.
Zheng He's surname was later guessed, in fact, there is no clear record of when, in fact, this kind of eunuch usually does not use his surname, and it is a standard practice to change his surname when he enters the palace, mainly because they enter the palace is equivalent to being expelled from the original family's genealogy, theoretically cut off contact with the original family, as for the later development, at that time the family needs to pat him on the back, of course, you can change it back to Guangzong Yaozu.
For example, when he entered the palace at the age of 9,000, he changed his surname to Li, and when he made his fortune, he changed back to Wei.
In fact, even if many people make a fortune, they only glorify their ancestors when they are alive, and they still can't enter the ancestral grave when they die.
Therefore, eunuchs like to give money to temples and the like.
Because after they die, these temples will deal with the aftermath for them, and even protect his grave in the future.
"Ma and?"
Zhang Fu's gaze searched......
"Where did Ma He go?"
He asked a royal official.
"Captain Ma followed the order of the princess to go to Lugou Bridge to greet Princess Hanshan and her party, and I think it is almost there."
The latter said.
"Huh?"
Yang Feng's gaze immediately turned to the direction of Lugou Bridge.
Because there was already a long procession there, he quickly took out his binoculars and looked there, and then his special carriage appeared in his field of vision, but at this time there was a familiar figure sitting in the carriage, and holding the same telescope, looking this way. Then she put down her binoculars, then stood up in the carriage and waved excitedly in this direction, while next to her was a young man on horseback, looking at her in obvious surprise.
"Let's go, go meet the princess."
Zhang Fu said.
And the officials and generals who were still watching the Franco machine before also got on their horses and went to the official pavilion not far away to greet their Princess Hanshan......
Although their princess Her Royal Highness was standing in the carriage like an excited rabbit.
