Chapter 843: Three Cities Change (5)
On the last day of October, the two big cities of Jinling and Luoyang have had a lot of turmoil and variables due to their own reasons.
or a large number of troops and horses were mobilized due to the front-line fighting, or the city was full of turmoil due to sudden assassinations. But in Kaifeng City, the former capital of the Song Dynasty, which is as famous as them, it is still peaceful at this time.
Bianjing in the past, Kaifeng now, is still as prosperous and lively as ever.
Perhaps in terms of population and status in the Central Plains, today's Kaifeng is far from being comparable with Luoyang City, which has been the capital of Dayue for more than 100 years, but if you talk about the prosperity of commerce and trade, the freedom of the people in the city, it is better than the Yuedu that has experienced a war.
Because the Bianshui passes through the city, and is cited as the relationship between the rivers in the city, the scene in this city is a little more soft than the big city in the Central Plains.
The rivers shuttle through the city, and the rainbow bridges also cross the river, connecting the two banks, so that the people living in them have more scenery to see on the road, and the roads here become more tortuous and changeable.
This feature was naturally completely mastered by Sun Ning, who had been in the city for three days, and was taking a boat down the river at this time.
At this time, the small boat they were riding was mixed with the other three or five boats, and it was staying not far from the exit of the original Zhao Song Imperial City and the current Dadu Governor's Mansion.
Unlike the Zhao family, who ruled Luoyang and only did not enter the palace in the imperial city, Qin Yude, the governor of the Pingtian Army, did not have so many worries. He directly moved into the original Zhao Song Imperial Palace, and renamed it the Dadu Governor's Mansion - of course, in terms of style, this place is far from being comparable to the imperial palace of Dayue, but it is much stronger than the original Dayue Privy Council Yamen.
There are as many as eight portals in and out of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion alone, and this side of the water is where its main entrance is located.
Generally speaking, when Qin Yude, the governor of the capital, wants to enter and leave the mansion, he will pass by this.
Because of this, Sun Ning will stay here.
This time he came to Kaifeng, his goal was also to assassinate Qin Yude.
Compared with the Luoyang General's Mansion, which was simpler in structure and looser in guards, the Dadu Governor's Mansion in Kaifeng was obviously more difficult to attack.
Especially when Sun Ning and the others only had two people, they didn't dare to take risks at will.
Therefore, they decided to wait here and wait for each other to come out before they can do it.
Guan Zhenduo, who was acting as a boatman, confirmed that it was impossible for the people on the boat around him to hear his conversation, and then he whispered: "Your Majesty, must we take this risk and assassinate him?" ”
Sun Ning looked like he was admiring the scenery on both sides of the strait, and his eyes were more at the wide imperial road in front of him and the majestic gate behind him: "Otherwise, it is not enough to change the Central Plains and make the Pingtian Army completely chaotic...... Then when we fight against the Liangzhou army, they will become our greatest threat.
"And if I don't take the initiative, time drags on like this, people's minds change, and it will be more and more difficult for me to redefine the world. So, we have to take this risk. ”
"Then he will definitely come out today?"
"Definitely. On the last day of the month, he would make a tour of the city. One is to appease the hearts of the army and the people, and the other is to swear their absolute power over the whole of Kaifeng......"
When Sun Ning said this, his eyes suddenly froze: "He came out!" ”
Hearing this, Guan Zhenduo immediately gathered his spirits and stared at the royal road above. Sure enough, a few miles away, the heavily guarded gate of the palace had already gathered people and horses, and the whole team was formed, and then surrounded by their packages, several well-dressed or brightly armored men were riding their horses slowly along the road and straight out.
When this scene happened, it also caused a commotion among many people around, and even Sun Ning heard bursts of praise and cheers.
I have to say that Qin Yude's rule in Kaifeng is still quite good, under his rule, the people of Kaifeng and many nearby states and counties have lived a very prosperous life, and even everyone is full of support for him.
So whenever he came out to show up, he would be welcomed by hundreds of people, just like today, whether on land or on water, everyone stopped what they were doing at this time, looked at the golden-armored and red-eyed, dignified burly man in the middle of the army, and called out from the bottom of their hearts.
"The Metropolitan Governor is mighty!"
"The Metropolitan Governor is really the best patron saint of my Kaifeng people......"
This burst of cheers came into the ears of Qin Yude, who was riding his horse, making his face full of joy and pride, and he frequently waved to both sides, looking happy.
Yes, what he enjoyed the most was this kind of scene that was sincerely supported and welcomed by the people of the city.
This will make him feel that he is the one who is the most popular and able to win the world in this world.
Because of this, he set a time to inspect the entire Kaifeng at least once a month, without caring whether there was any danger in it.
In the past, such inspections would start with calm and end unharmed, and then the people of the city would be satisfied with the greatest enthusiasm.
Almost everyone was used to the process, even the hundreds of guards around them. Although they seemed to be riding horses and carrying guns, protecting him, in fact, everyone's attention was only to appreciate the prosperity and liveliness of Kaifeng City, as well as the cheers and noise of the people.
As for the danger, how can there be any danger?
The team soon set foot on the first rainbow bridge over the river.
The path forward suddenly narrowed, causing the manpower guarding Qin Yude's sides to quickly shrink. However, because they are fast enough, and Hongqiao is not long, such a weak defense is only for a moment.
What's more, at this time, in addition to their soldiers and horses, there are no other idle people on the Hongqiao, so naturally there is no need to worry about what will happen.
As for the water under the bridge, although there are indeed a few small boats docked, they are only a dozen people, and they are not enough to pose any threat at all.
At least in the hearts of everyone who faces forward along the Hongqiao Bridge, this is the judgment.
But all of a sudden, the idea was shattered.
Just as Qin Yude came to the middle of the Hongqiao surrounded by more than a dozen guards, a yellow-green phantom was already whistling and shooting straight towards him.
At the same time, there was also a gray figure.
After he stepped hard at the stern of the boat, the person was like an eagle falcon that pounced on its prey, swept straight for several feet, far above the Hongqiao bridge deck, and then slanted down, followed by the yellow-green phantom, and suddenly fell sharply, directly attacking the Pingtian Army Governor on the horse, Qin Yude!
