Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 506 The No. [-] Scholar Parading the Streets (Fourth Change)

On the dilapidated streets, teams of cavalry were slowing down.

He Jinzhao rode a horse in the streets of the outer city of Beijing, surrounded by dilapidated mud-tiled houses.

People in shabby clothes will automatically make way for them and stand on both sides.

At a glance, these people all look disheveled.

There are also many beggars kneeling and begging for food along the way.

"It turns out that there are so many people in the capital who can't afford to eat."

Gao Yingxiang looked at the people around him and couldn't help being amazed.

Before coming here, everyone thought about the city of Beijing, where everyone can eat big meat pies, and the mothers-in-law who sleep well every day, spend money and never care about money.

The result is this?

Ma'am, I'm so disappointed!

"It's just the outer city."

He Jinzhao looked at the old beggars who were chasing beggars away from the nearby shop:
"This is still the case in the capital of Ming Dynasty, let alone what life is like for the people in other places."

Shuncheng Gate is also known as Xuanwu Gate.

It was completed in the orthodox year.

He Jinzhao reined in the reins and watched from a distance.

Xuanwumen Tower has seven rooms, about 30 meters wide and three stories high.

The city gate is wide, and entering is like walking through a tunnel. There are also urns and archery towers.

As for the place where He Jinzhao stopped, it was Caishikou Execution Ground.

Compared with the people who have just entered the city, here are full of dishes, but merchants gather here, constantly shouting to see how good their cloth is.

The common people stretched their necks to watch this group of cavalry, not knowing what kind of big battle this was.

Caishikou is a downtown area in Beijing.

People from the southern provinces mostly passed through here when they crossed the Marco Polo Bridge, entered Guang'anmen, and then entered the inner city of Beijing.

Wen Tianxiang, a famous minister, was killed here, as well as a heinous criminal. Yuan Chonghuan was killed here a while ago.

As for the pharmacy owner in Lubei, he was leaning against the door frame, smoking a dry cigarette.

I heard that not only Wen Zhuangyuan paraded the streets today, but Wu Zhuangyuan also paraded the streets today.

Did this wave of majestic cavalry come here specially to support Wu Zhuangyuan?
"These military masters all have a bit of fierceness on their faces. They stand around the execution ground without any fear. They can see blood at first glance, and they have a few lives in their hands."

Listening to the words of the pharmacy owner, everyone gathered around nodded.

The execution ground of the vegetable market is a good place, and a group of people walk around it.

Except for those people who rely on the execution ground for food, there is no funeral industry next to them, and there are even shops that sew corpses.

"If there are more military masters like this, the Tartars outside the customs can come to our Beijing to make a fuss?"

"Yes, yes."

The guards of Xuanwumen looked at the groups of cavalry in full armor, they were not as careless as entering the outer city.

Even Uncle Nanxiang Zhang Guangcan brushed his face to no avail, so he asked for a waist card directly.

He Jinzhao threw the commander's badge to him.

The guard looked at it and respectfully handed it back to He Jinzhao, the commander-in-chief of Baoding Mansion, immediately, confirming that the designation was true.

"I don't know why the master led the army into Beijing?"

"According to the order of Cheng Guogong, let the brothers dress better, and come to the city to serve as the guard of honor for the number one scholar parading the streets."

"I understand, I understand."

He immediately got out of the way and directed the people below to drive away the people in the city cave.

Even if their immediate boss is Cao Huatian, they can't do anything to stop the Duke's troops.

Uncle Nanxiang Zhang Guangcan never expected that the guards of Xuanwu Gate only had one more question than those in the outer city, and did not stop them.

They are all rebels!

Niu Youcai kept staring at Zhang Guangcan.

Zhang Guangcan could only smile at this bull-like rebel.

A large number of people quickly passed Xuanwumen and successfully sneaked into the inner city of Beijing.

"Where is Wang Gong's factory?"

Hearing He Jinzhao's inquiry, Zhang Guangcan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"Beside the Yongding River, there was an unknown explosion in the sixth year of Tianqi, and it has not fully recovered yet."

"Five years have passed, and it's time for the Ministry of Industry to fix something."

He Jinzhao sighed, whipped his horsewhip and said, "I'm mainly afraid of the guns made by the craftsmen in the capital."

While speaking, he had already rushed to the vicinity of Wang Gong's factory.

The situation devastated by the big bang five years ago has not completely disappeared.

The road was full of potholes, and a large pit suddenly appeared and was simply filled, and a monument was erected to warn pedestrians to avoid these two places.

There are still traces of fire on the wall, which have not dissipated.

There is a blank pedestal in the street with many weeds growing.

It is said that the five-thousand-jin stone lion took off from here and crossed the wall of Xuanwumen, as if thrown out of the city by a giant.

It is a place where every inch of land is expensive, but very few people live there.

Everyone knows that this place is evil, and it is said that more than 2 people died.

Gao Yigong pushed open the repaired door and looked at the lazy people inside.

"What are you doing?" A small official stood up and said angrily, "Do you understand the rules? Get the lead and gunpowder and go to the next door to get the note."

"Excuse me, is there any artillery here?" Gao Yigong threw out a silver bean.

The little official chuckled and made a gesture of pinching money:

"If you give more, you will have good artillery. If you give less, you will get the note first."

Gao Yigong laughed twice, took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it to him:
"Rules, I understand, here are three top-quality Franc machines and two general cannons."

The little official was blinded by the silver ingot.

It took him a while to react.

This fucking is 50 taels!

Never expecting to be so generous, he immediately smiled:

"Master, quickly bring your brothers and follow me, you can take as much gunpowder as you want."

Gao Yigong waved his hand, and the brothers behind him who knew how to handle cannons pushed open the door and came in, following him to get the cannons.

He Jinchao sent people to drive out all the craftsmen from the house near Wang Gong's factory.

Chongzhen four years.

In the second palace examination, Chen Yutai was awarded No. 1 head armor, and Chongzhen gave him a parade.

Chen Yutai is 35 years old this year, and he is the No.80 No. [-] champion in Ming Dynasty.

At this time, he was wearing a black gauze hat with golden flowers, a big red robe, a hand-picked imperial edict in his hand, and a red-maned horse with a golden saddle on his feet.

Shouting from the front and embracing the back, the flag is drumming to open the way, with extraordinary style and envy.

"Quiet" and "Avoidance" red plate gilt characters lead the way ahead, walking on Chang'an Street in high spirits.

Chen Yutai was born in a prominent official family. His father, younger brother, and clan brothers were all Jinshi scholars of the Ming Dynasty, and he was one step ahead of him.

After Apocalypse was elected in the seventh year, he rushed to the capital to buy a house and land, studied hard for three years, and his hard work paid off.

Chen Yutai and Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the current dynasty, were related by marriage. After having a relationship, they spent a lot of money in bribes and successfully won the title of No. [-] Scholar that originally belonged to Wu Weiye.

Wu Weiye, who came from a family of "ordinary scholars", came second in the list.

But in Daming, the starting point of ordinary scholars is the apex that many people can't reach.

Facts have proved that as long as you are willing to study, you can become the number one scholar.

The only thing that is lacking is so many official connections and the good experience of so many people in the family who have successfully paved the way.

Chen Yutai, the champion of the new division, bowed his hands in gratitude to the crowd cheering for him, his face beaming with joy.

From today, he officially set foot in the officialdom of Daming.

Chen Yutai rides on a horse with great ambitions, he must be a good official who is in charge of the people, and he will also be the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty in the future!

Just as he made his oath, there was a loud explosion in front of him.
