Chapter 242: Tavern Sighting, Steel Torrent!
Zhu Houzhao studied foreign languages.
Hongzhi Dynasty, North America has not yet been discovered, everyone's main object for navigation is the Far East Ming Dynasty, so there were still a lot of Ming foreigners at that time, Zhu Houzhao, as the prince, would take the initiative to learn foreign languages every day.
At that time, everyone didn't know why, but Zhu Houzhao wanted to find hope in it.
He is fluent in many languages, such as Japanese, Korean, Tatar, Us-Tibetan, Hui, Portuguese, and Sanskrit...... Although I can't be fluent as a native speaker, I can speak and write and listen, which is a good level.
But communication is sufficient.
In addition, Zhu Houzhao often came into contact with foreign envoys, and there were many foreign concubines in the harem.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao can be regarded as the 'first person to explore the outside world'.
No, after all, there is also a crown prince who was baptized by Christ...... But at that time, it was all Nanming, and it didn't make much sense.
Seeing that everyone was so anxious, Zhu Houxi no longer hid it, and immediately said: "Then let's go!" Let the Jiaqing Dynasty go first, I will open the teleportation in a suitable place for the six of you, and the strategy group of the Xianfeng Dynasty, our non-traditional national war, can only advance from the Tianshi Boundary (Qianlong Dynasty) and start according to the original plan. ”
"Okay, I'll go back and raise troops, and the one who comes out on top must be my iron horse!"
Zhu Houzhao's spirit was shocked, and after laughing twice, he turned around decisively and left.
And Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qiyu...... The six of them seemed to have secretly stepped aside after hearing about the speed, to put an end to the leak, and to communicate with themselves.
Zhu Houxi said that he was a little speechless, and at the same time, he used his magical powers, his ears and eyes were clear, and he got their battle plan without much effort.
It's really stupid, you can't hear me when you go to talk to other worlds, you have to talk about it here.
But this doesn't mean much, the main thing is that Zhu Yunwen is showing the results of his learning, and what words like 'to fight a blitzkrieg and bulldoze the whole of Asia' sound a bit like a guy with a mustache, which makes Zhu Houxi feel weird.
Of course, if it is against it, Zhu Houxi still supports some.
After everything was ready, Zhu Houxi was also ready.
Daming's self-produced tanks and airplanes will be unveiled for the first time.
Tanks are just that, airplanes are the most important.
Hopefully they won't let themselves down.
"The land outside the pass has been fought countless times, I believe that the soldiers under my command have already played experience, it doesn't matter, after arriving, first level the outside of the pass, and then destroy Tsarist Russia!"
Zhu Houxi had already made a plan in his heart, and then he waved his hand without hesitation:
"Attack!"
……
December of the tenth year of Xianfeng, Liaodong.
As the so-called cold wind is biting, covered in silver, the vast land is white, and the white crystalline snowflakes cover this white mountain and black water, which is really rich and beautiful.
However, although the magic of nature is beautiful, it is really uncomfortable for the people who live in this area.
Lai Shun covered the tattered leather on his body hard, the dirty leather was full of wrinkles and pulp, and it smelled a sour smell, but even so, he tried his best not to let the heat of his neckline be blown away by the cold wind.
There was a fur felt hat on his head, but his head was bare and only an ugly braid, and under the howling north wind, it was also so cold that he couldn't withstand the wind chill at all.
Lai Shun was full of sadness.
The food at home is not enough, as the pillar of the family, Lai Shun can only take the family's bow and arrow, go out hunting, and want to hunt some game to subsidize the family.
However, the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and after a lot of hardships, he came to Shun and beat two rabbits, but did not take them home for a tooth sacrifice, but walked straight to a restaurant, intending to sell the rabbits for some food for the winter.
How many meals can you eat rabbit meat? How many more meals can you eat with food?
Let's make it clear.
Although the Manchu emperors such as Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing were doing their best to prevent the Han people from settling outside the Guanwai, only Shunzhi, a profoundly educated fellow of Confucianism, had been encouraging and hoping to attract Han people to come and reclaim the fields outside the Guanwai.
For example, in the tenth year of Shunzhi, the Qing court promulgated the "Liaodong Reclamation Order", stipulating that if anyone could recruit more than 100 Han people to cultivate outside the Guan, "Wen Zhi County, Wu Zhi Garrison".
Moreover, the 100 immigrants recruited gave 20 ploughing cattle and distributed seeds.
It can be said that in addition to Shunzhi, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a century-long blockade of the Han people outside the Guanwai, turning this originally rich land into an uninhabited wasteland.
This policy is not only complained about by those displaced Han people, but even the veterans of the Eight Banners outside the customs are also complaining again and again.
However, in the Xianfeng Dynasty, this ban has become a virtual reality.
The early stage of breaking into the Kanto region has already begun to take shape.
Since the Daoguang and Xianfeng dynasties, the floods of the Yellow River, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and the two Opium Wars, the people can be said to be unable to survive, and they have marched towards the Guanwai in pieces, and now more than one million Han people have moved to the northeast, forming a precursor to breaking into the Guandong, laying the foundation for greater population migration later.
The Manchurians outside the Guan, although they are nominal masters, but compared with those rich sons and brothers in the capital, their living standards are actually similar to those of the Han people, and they are already so poor that the three generals are full of complaints.
Especially in the Daoguang and Xianfeng dynasties, the war reparations were so large that the promised rich rewards were now gone, and they now had neither money nor good living conditions, and their resentment against the Manchus had reached the extreme.
To say that the biggest anti-Qing force outside the Guanwai is not the Han Chinese, but the Eight Banners outside the Guanwai.
It's just that the three generals have been suppressed and have not moved.
Lai Shun is neither a New Hanmin nor a Manchurian.
It was the ancestors who took the initiative to invite Ying to come to the old Han people outside the customs from the Shunzhi period.
But it doesn't matter.
In the present world, whether it is the new Han people, the old Han people, or the Manchurians, they are all poor people begging for food in this white expanse.
Lai Shun hazed the white air, followed his eyes, and saw a tavern in the distance.
With the swaying of the wooden door, Lai pushed the door in and walked into this 'Zhao family shop'.
This is a radius of dozens of miles, and this is the boundary of the restaurant.
Traveling from the south to the north, the caravan from Shengjing to the north will come here to rest on weekdays.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the shopkeeper of Zhao's shop beckoning the guy to add more firewood, and when he saw Laishun coming, Zhao's shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he took the initiative to step forward: "Laishun, hunted rabbits again?" What a craft. ”
"Hey, Master Zhao, you are auspicious."
Lai Shun learned the etiquette of the flag man, and after giving the shopkeeper Zhao a look, he then said with a smile: "Yes, do you still accept this shop?" ”
"Close! Of course I accepted it, such a good thing, can we not accept it? ”
Shopkeeper Zhao laughed loudly, and happily asked the guy to check out, and at the same time looked at Lai Shun, and said to this honest hunter: "I said that it is smooth, now in this world, foreigners come and go, go and come, and the end is in chaos." I heard that the long hair in the south is also making a fuss, and we have a lot of picks outside the gate, which is really non-stop. ”
"In this way, if you follow me and serve as a nurse in my place, if you encounter any arrogant guests or rob money to protect me from disasters, I will give you four dollars of silver a month, how about it?"
Hearing Zhao's shopkeeper's words, Lai Shun was a little moved, but he still refused.
After all, if the boy comes, he will really dare to kill.
Seeing Laishun's decisive refusal, Shopkeeper Zhao felt a little regretful, but he didn't say anything, and immediately settled the account, planning to let Laishun take the money and leave.
But just when Lai Shun grabbed the money and was about to go to the city to buy some rice, the small door was suddenly slammed open, and a gray-faced guy rushed in, embarrassed, but it could also be seen that he had once had a cotton robe.
"Yo, isn't this the fifth master?!"
Shopkeeper Zhao couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the visitor, but when he carefully identified the identity of the visitor, he found that it was their old customer, Zha Wuye, who often went to Changchun from Shengjing to do business: "What's the matter with you?" Did you encounter a robbery? Ouch, don't you report it to the imperial court quickly......"
This check is not ordinary, but the flag man in the flag.
Their Han people were robbed by bandits, and no one would pay attention. And the fifth master of Cha was robbed, and the court at least made a show.
After all, this represents the decency of the imperial court.
And hearing the words of the shopkeeper Zhao, Fifth Master Cha hurriedly waved his hand, and directly drank the pot of tea on the table, and then scolded: "What a bullshit court!" The court is going to be finished! I don't know where a bunch of iron lumps appeared, and it was a mess in Shengjing, but in half a day, Shengjing was gone! ”
"Fortunately, we run fast, otherwise we might have been killed by these long hairs!"
After listening to the words of the fifth master, everyone looked at each other.
"Longhair has already hit the gates?" Zhao's shopkeeper is terrifying.
"It's not the long hair in the south, it's the former Ming! His grandmother's, this Qianming didn't know where to come from......"
The rest is Cha Wuye's muttering.
Although the banner people outside the gate were slanderous about the Manchu Qing, after hearing that the former Ming was resurrected, they were too frightened to speak, and their first reaction was to run.
After all, everyone knows how Qianming will treat them.
At this moment, there was a sudden buzzing sound in the sky, except for some frightened birds of Zha Wuye, several other people were accustomed to it.
After all, I don't know what the reason is for the last two days, but this sound appears above my head every day, and occasionally I can see a few very large birds flying over in the clouds, and I don't know what the situation is.
Alas.
The kingdom is about to die, and there will be demons!
It seems that the Qing Dynasty has not been around for a few years.
"Did you hear that? The emperor and concubines in Beijing City are gone, and now it is a queen and a few princes to discuss politics, and not long ago I made some agreements with the English, Russians and other foreigners......"
One of the guests was muttering something, deliberately keeping his voice down.
After hearing these news, everyone was confused and did not know what the future would hold.
Just when the fifth master of Cha was shouting, 'Hurry up and serve, you have to run to Changchun quickly', Lai Shun had already walked out of this small courtyard with the money.
Although this Laishun seems to be honest and honest, he can support a large family, so he naturally has his own wisdom.
Fifth Master Zha said that Sheng Jing is at war, so I'm afraid it will be in Changchun soon.
At that time, the price of rice will definitely rise, in this case, I should buy more back, but I can't be in this Zhao family shop with this group of people who are not bad at money, so I have to hurry up and buy rice.
And, buy more this time!
As soon as he thought of this, he hurried back home by the way, and saw that his daughter-in-law was still busy working, and his father was lying on the kang, and immediately said: "Dad, daughter-in-law!" Hurry up and take all your belongings and go to Changchun to buy rice! ”
Let's go by the way.
"What's wrong?"
Laishun's daughter-in-law didn't know why, and then said: "The family's money is for Shunzi to go to school, if you get a reputation in the future, we will all be happy, why do you have to spend all the money?" ”
"Take the test, what the test! The fight started, Sheng Kyoto was beaten down, if you don't go again, the rice will not be this price! ”
As soon as the cannon goes off, the grain is not at the same price as it is now.
A few years ago, the red-haired ghost came, and the food rose, and his eldest and mother starved to death at that time, and even almost sold themselves to be slaves to big families!
Hearing this, Laishun's daughter-in-law immediately panicked, and the father who was lying on the kang also stood up with a carp and shouted loudly: "What are you doing in a daze?!" Bring the cart and greet the folks, go quickly! ”
There are too many people, so the locks don't dare to mess with them.
Soon, after beckoning the villagers to join them, they went on the road overnight while it was still early, and even brought two muskets hidden in the tunzi.
However, not long after they were on the road, they heard a 'boom' sound from the ground.
"I'm dripping! Could it be that the earth dragon turned over?! ”
"What to do, what can I do?!"
“……”
For a moment, the villagers panicked, but at that moment, they heard a sound like the sky was falling apart.
"Boom ——!!!"
A loud bang shattered the silence completely.
Flying gravel and dust rained down, and the earth trembled.
"What's going on?!"
"Brother Shun, what should I do?"
The voices of the villagers reached Laishun's ears, Laishun gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "You guys hide it, I'll go and see!" ”
With that, he skillfully climbed the hill and began to walk in the direction where the sound sounded.
Soon, on the flat, wide road, Lai Shun saw a scene that frightened him.
Billowing black smoke erupted from the barrel, and a walking cannon appeared in Laishun's sight.
This is what Fifth Master Zha said'Iron Pimple'?
Seeing these iron bumps, Lai Shun was a little speechless for a while, but soon, ten, twenty ...... More and more iron lumps converge on the same line, looking from afar, like a torrent of steel!
Behind the torrent of steel, there was also a neatly arranged cavalry army, with a radiant face, and it seemed that it was an elite division of a hundred battles
Lai Shun was stunned, but in a moment, the hunter's instinct told him that something was wrong.
When he turned his head, before he could retreat, he saw several black muzzles pointed at him.
"Dare to spy on our army here, are you a spy of the Tartars, or a spy of the Yangyi?!"
