In July of the seventh year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Beijing City.

The capital of the Qing Dynasty, and now the most prosperous economic center in the north, has been divided into two cities, the inner and outer cities. The inner city is only allowed to live in the banner people and the Baoyi people who are attached to the Eight Banners system, and the Sulajia slaves (the domestic slaves of the banner people, not the Baoyi people), while the outer city allows Han people to live. Yes, Hermes-epitek is allowed to live, not only Hermes-Epitek.

In fact, most of the industries in the outer city of Beijing also belonged to the magnates of the Eight Banners, the Great Baoyi of the Internal Affairs Bureau, or the Emperor Xiao Mazi of the Qing Dynasty himself. The former residence of Cao Xueqin, who wrote a book of "Dream of Red Mansions" to feed many red scholars, is the "seventeen and a half" real estate of the Garlic Shikou generation outside Chongwen Gate. This property is located in the outer city of Beijing, and it was purchased by the old Cao family when it was in power.

In addition, the Cao family of the White Flag of the Ministry of Internal Affairs still had a lot of shops and residences in the outer city of Beijing at that time, there were also granges outside Beijing, and there were pawnshops, fields, and dyeing workshops in the area of Zhangjiawan Wharf in Tongzhou.

This old Cao family with two sleeves and silver wind can only be regarded as one of the greedy people in the family of clothed people in the Internal Affairs Office, and there is no more arrogant than his family, but there is a large group of them shoulder to shoulder, and as for the family of clothed people who are less greedy, they can't be counted. And these families of clothed people are nothing compared to the magnates of the Eight Banners and the relatives of the emperor above. When these people first came in, they were enclosing land and occupying houses, and they all grabbed enough property for their children and grandchildren to squander ten lifetimes. Now they still control more than half of the world's top wearing, if Wu Sangui's rebellion is not good to build, they can still go down from generation to generation...... No cooler than that!

Up to now, not only most of the industries in the outer city of Beijing have the surname "Qi", but even outside Beijing and even the entire Shuntianfu and the neighboring Xuanhua, Zunhua, and Yongping, there are also everywhere the land occupied by the banner man, the banner man, the clothed people, and even the lower-level Sulajia slaves.

Ordinary Hermes-Epitek in and around Beijing are almost reduced to tenants without property.

Although the property of the Han people has been taken away by the masters of the banners, the masters of Baoyi, and the slaves of the Su La, they still have to grit their teeth to live. What else can I do? Rebellion can't be defeated, and starvation is unwilling.

Fortunately, God opened his eyes, most of the most vicious Eight Banner old things among those banner men were short-lived, and they died for various reasons within a few years of good days...... Most of them died from smallpox, many of them were killed by dogs and dogs, and many of them went to fight with Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong and died. And the descendants of this wicked man have learned more well, in addition to eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, they are corrupt and bribery, digging up corners of the wall, and they are basically reasonable and good people.

And under the drive of this group of well-learned flag people, the market in the outer city of Beijing can prosper, all kinds of eating, drinking and playing, novelties from all over the world, prostitutes and princesses in the eight major alleys...... It's all for the masters, and the bannermen have money!

The entire outer city of Beijing is filled with a kind of decaying vitality.

It's really rotten and yearning!

But today, I don't know what happened in the outer city of Beijing, and suddenly broke into a group of "flag soldiers" who did not learn well, one person and two horses, everyone wore dark coats, wore red tasseled hats, and carried a spear from one foot two feet to one foot six feet on his back, and the tip of the spear was carefully wrapped in linen, which seemed very cherished. And what makes the Qi Han people who are wandering around or making a living in the outer city of Beijing is even more surprised, and this group of "flag soldiers" has a long-lost formidable momentum, only to see them all with iron faces, riding on horses with their heads held high, and a strict team enters from Yongding Gate and moves all the way along Zhengyangmen Outer Street. Walking is not fast, but it gives people a great sense of oppression, as if the old things who died out of smallpox crawled out of the coffin to teach their unscrupulous descendants how to be wicked.

Zhengyangmen Outer Street is a lively area, and there are shops on both sides of the street. This group of "flag soldiers" is stepping on the meal to enter the city, the street outside Zhengyangmen can be lively, the guys of the restaurants and teahouses are standing on the street shouting to welcome the guests, the aroma of the cooked food and snacks just made is wafting along the street, the idle Eight Banners children are in groups of three or five, are about to go down to the restaurant to drink a little wine, suddenly see their "dead ghost dads" into the city, all stunned...... What day is it, Qingming Festival?

There were more and more people on the street, and watching this horse team slowly pass by, several of the Eight Banners disciples who reacted had already asked loudly: "Men on the horse, where did you come from?" Is it outside the customs? ”

Everyone knows that the children of the Eight Banners in the Guannei, especially the children of the Eight Banners in Beijing City, have learned well now, except for those old ones, there are few who are as fierce as the group in front of them. But the Eight Banners outside the gate seem to be quite fierce!

The leaders of this team of "Uncle Flag Soldiers" are two tall and good men, both of whom are outstanding, one is older, around forty years old, and has a beard, it is Wu Guogui. The other is much younger, looking only seventeen or eighteen years old, of course it is Wang Zhongxiao.

The two left Yunnan in April, and walked for three months before crossing the entire Qing Dynasty diagonally and arriving at Beijing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty.

Before entering the city, Liu Xuanchu, the military advisor sent by Wu Sangui, proposed to give the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers in the city a little bit of power, and they had to show the spirit of the Pingxi Wang's army, so as not to make people look down on them.

Now Wu Sangui has changed his strategy and wants to give the Qing Dynasty a murderer, so Wu Guogui and they have to behave fiercely.

So Wu Guogui ordered his subordinates and Wang Zhongxiao to clean up, and then put on a big gun, lead a deputy horse, carry a bow and arrow, and a waist knife, and enter the city as a whole, so that the soldiers of the Eight Banners in Beijing City could see the good men under the Pingxi Domain.

At this time, I heard someone inquiring about the origin of his family, Wu Guogui hugged his fist on horseback, opened his voice and shouted: "Old and young masters, please, I am the capital of the Pingxi Domain, the second-class baron Wu Guogui!" Today, I am ordered by the king to enter Beijing to participate in the pilgrimage! ”

Ah, it turned out to be Wu Sangui's subordinates!

This Wu Sangui's soldiers are really fine!

The lively flag man on the street couldn't help but take a breath, this Wu Sangui really wanted to rebel! It's been peaceful in the world for so many years, and there are still such elite ...... It's not for rebellion, and for what?

On Zhengyangmen Street, everyone was silent for a while, just stunned to see the small team of horses, passing by with great momentum.

"Shikai," Wu Guogui felt that the atmosphere was not enough, so he said to Wang Zhong beside him, "Come, sing one!" ”

"Huh!"

Wang Zhongxiao answered, then cleared his throat and started singing!

He was a music lover in his last life, and although he did not go further to become a literary and artistic worker, he still kept this hobby until he became ill...... This time, he not only has a good looks, but also a good voice, but unfortunately he still can't eat literary meals, so he can only sing some songs on the way to Beijing to relieve his boredom.

As a result, he sang so well that the song "Farewell" made the big guy cry.

But this is back in Beijing, he can't sing "Farewell" anymore, he has to sing another song, and he has already thought of a "Song of the Qing Dynasty", six days after this song became the official national anthem of the Qing Dynasty, Wuchang rebelled!

On the way to Beijing, he often sang this "Farewell Song", and now it is just right to use it for the occasion. I don't know if I can sing some of the fortune of Emperor Kangxi?

Wang Zhongxiao pondered for a while, and then he opened his throat and roared: "Gong Jinou, Chengtianwei, the people are happy with the algae, happy with the comrades, and the Qing Dynasty is fortunate." The sky is high, the sea is surging, the sea is ......"

This "Song of the Great Qing Dynasty" taught himself and Wu Guogui's subordinates on the way to Beijing when Wang Zhongxiao came to Beijing.

More than 100 knights under the Pingxi Domain, singing and marching in this way, walked on the street outside Zhengyangmen in the outer city of Beijing...... This scene can scare some people into tears!
