I, Jiajing, join the Ming Emperor chat group

Chapter 243: What I saw in the tavern, the torrent of steel!
Zhu Houzhao has studied foreign languages.

During the Hongzhi Dynasty, North America had not yet been discovered. The main target for navigation was the Ming Dynasty in the Far East. Therefore, there were still many foreigners in the Ming Dynasty at that time. As the prince, Zhu Houzhao would take the initiative to learn foreign languages ​​every day.

At that time, no one knew why, but Zhu Houzhao wanted to find hope in it.

He is proficient in many languages, such as Japanese, Korean, Tatar, Uzbek, Huiyu, Portuguese and Sanskrit... Although he is not as fluent as a native speaker, he can still speak, write and listen. , which is a pretty good level.

But communication is enough.

In addition, Zhu Houzhao often had contact with foreign envoys, and there were many foreign concubines in the harem.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao was regarded as the "No. 1 in foreign exploration".

That's not right. After all, there is a crown prince who was baptized and born by Christ... But it was already clear at that time, so it didn't make any sense.

Seeing that everyone was so anxious, Zhu Houcong stopped hiding and said immediately: "Then let's go! Let the Jiaqing Dynasty pass first, and I will open the teleportation port at a suitable place for the six of you, and The strategy team of the Xianfeng Dynasty, our national war is not in the traditional sense, so we can only proceed from Tianshijie (Qianlong Dynasty) and start as planned."

"Okay, I will go back and raise an army now. The one who comes out on top will definitely be my cavalry!"

Zhu Houzhao was shocked. After laughing twice, he decisively turned around and left.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qiyu... it seems that after hearing about the speed competition, the six of them had sneaked aside to prevent leaks and wanted to communicate among themselves.

Zhu Houcong expressed that he was a little speechless. At the same time, he used his magical powers, his ears and eyes were sharp, and he got their battle plan without any effort.

You are so stupid. If you go to other worlds to talk, I won't be able to hear you. You have to talk here.

But this is meaningless. The main reason is that Zhu Yunwen is showing the results of his studies. Words such as "We will fight a blitzkrieg and bulldoze all of Asia" sound a bit like a guy with a mustache, which makes Zhu Houcong confused. It feels weird.

Of course, if it is the opposite, Zhu Houcong will still support it.

After everything was ready, Zhu Houcong was also ready.

Ming Dynasty’s self-produced tanks and aircraft will be unveiled for the first time.

Tanks are just that, aircraft are the top priority.

Hope they don't let themselves down.

"The land outside the Pass has been fought countless times. I believe that the soldiers under my command have gained experience. It doesn't matter. After arriving, we will first level the area outside the Pass and then destroy Tsarist Russia!"

Zhu Houcong had already made a plan in his mind, and then waved his hand without hesitation:
"Attack!"

……

In December of the tenth year of Xianfeng, Liaodong.

As the saying goes, the cold wind is biting, the snow is wrapped in white, the vast land is completely white, and the white snowflakes cover up the white mountains and black waters. It is really rich and beautiful.

However, although the uncanny workmanship of nature is beautiful, it is extremely uncomfortable for the people living in this area.

Laishun covered the tattered leather on his body with all his strength. The dirty leather was full of wrinkles and patina, and exuded a sour smell. But even so, he tried his best to keep his collar free. The heat was blown away by the cold wind.

There is a fur felt hat on the top of the head, but the head is bare with only an ugly braid left. Under the howling north wind, it is also extremely cold and cannot withstand the wind and cold at all.

Laishun's eyes were full of sorrow.

There was not enough food at home. As the mainstay of the family, Laishun could only take the family's bow and arrows and go hunting, hoping to catch some game to supplement the family's income.

However, Huangtian paid off his hard work and went through all kinds of hardships. He killed two rabbits in Laishun. However, he did not take them home for teeth beating. Instead, he went straight to a restaurant and planned to sell the rabbits to exchange for some food for the winter.

How many meals can you eat rabbit meat?How many meals can the food last?
Laishun can be clearly distinguished.

Although Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, Jiaqing and other Manchu emperors tried their best to prevent Han people from settling outside the Pass, only Shunzhi, a man deeply educated by Confucianism, always encouraged and hoped to attract Han people to cultivate fields outside the Pass.

For example, in the [-]th year of Shunzhi, the Qing government promulgated the "Liaodong Recruitment Order", which stipulated that anyone who could recruit more than [-] Han people to farm outside the customs would be "governed by the county magistrate and the garrison by martial arts."

Moreover, the one hundred immigrants recruited were given twenty cattle and seeds.

It can be said that with the exception of Shunzhi, the Manchu Qing Dynasty implemented a hundred-year-long blockade on Han people outside the Pass, turning this originally fertile land into an uninhabited wasteland.

This policy was not only complained by the refugee Han people, but also by the Eight Banners veterans outside the customs.

However, in the Xianfeng Dynasty, this ban was in vain.

The early stage of breaking into Guandong has begun to take shape.

Since the Daoguang and Xianfeng dynasties, the Yellow River floods, the Taiping Rebellion and the two Opium Wars, it can be said that the people can no longer survive, and they have moved towards the outside of the Guandong. Today, more than a million Han people have immigrated to the Northeast, forming the movement to the east of the Guandong. A precursor, paving the way for greater population migration later.

Although the Manchus outside the customs are nominally nobles, compared with the wealthy young men in the capital, their living standards are actually similar to those of the Han people. They are already extremely poor, and the three generals are full of complaints.

Especially during the Daoguang and Xianfeng dynasties, war reparations were huge, and the generous rewards originally promised were now gone. They now had neither money nor good living conditions, and their resentment towards the Manchus had reached its extreme.

The biggest anti-Qing force outside the Pass was not the Han people, but the Eight Banners outside the Pass.

It's just that the three generals suppressed it and failed to make any changes.

Laishun is neither a new Han citizen nor a Manchurian.

They are the old Han people who have been invited by their ancestors to come outside the Pass since the Shunzhi period.

But it doesn't matter.

In today's world, whether they are new Han people, old Han people or Manchurians, they are just poor people begging for food in this vast white field.

Laishun breathed heavily and followed his gaze to see a tavern in the distance.

As the wooden door swayed, Laishun pushed the door open and walked into the 'Zhao's Shop'.

Within a radius of dozens of miles, this one is considered the boundary of the restaurant.

Caravans traveling north and south from Shengjing would come here to rest on weekdays.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the shopkeeper of Zhao's shop asking the shopkeeper to add more firewood. When he saw Laishun coming, shopkeeper Zhao's eyes lit up and he stepped forward: "Laishun, have you hunted another rabbit? Okay? It’s craftsmanship.”

"Hey, Mr. Zhao, good luck to you."

Laishun imitated the etiquette of the bannermen, bowed to shopkeeper Zhao, and then said with a smile: "Yes, will your shop still accept it?"

"Collect it! Of course I will. Can we not accept such a good thing?"

Shopkeeper Zhao laughed loudly and happily asked the waiter to pay the bill. At the same time, he looked at Lai Shun and said to the honest hunter: "I said Lai Shun, in this world, foreigners come and go, and come and go. It's a chaotic situation. I heard that the Changmao in the south is also making a fuss, and there are a lot of people outside our customs. It's really non-stop."

"In this way, if you follow me and work as a nurse here, if you meet any arrogant guests or rob your property, and protect me from disaster, I will give you four coins a month. How about it?"

Hearing what Shopkeeper Zhao said, Laishun was a little moved, but still refused.After all, if Lazi comes, he will really dare to kill someone.

Seeing Laishun's decisive refusal, shopkeeper Zhao felt a little regretful, but he didn't say much. He settled the bill immediately and planned to let Laishun take the money and leave.

But just when Laishun kept the money and planned to go to the city to buy some rice, the small door was suddenly knocked open, and a shabby-looking guy rushed in. His whole body was in a mess, but it could also be seen that he had once A cotton robe.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Cha Wu?!"

Shopkeeper Zhao was shocked when he saw the visitor. However, after carefully identifying the visitor, he found that it was his family's regular customer, Mr. Cha Wu, who often traveled from Shengjing to Changchun to do business: "What are you doing here?" What's the matter? Did you encounter a robbery? Oh, why don't you report this to the court quickly..."

This fifth master Cha is not ordinary, he is a banner man in the banner.

When the Han people were robbed by bandits, no one would respond.As for Master Cha Wu, who was kidnapped, the court would at least put on a show.

After all, this represents the dignity of the court.

After hearing what Shopkeeper Zhao said, Master Cha Wu quickly waved his hand and drank a pot of tea on the table. Then he cursed: "What a bullshit court! The court is about to be destroyed! He appeared from nowhere!" A bunch of iron lumps were scattered randomly in Shengjing, but within half a day, Shengjing was gone!"

"Fortunately, we men can run fast, otherwise we might be killed by these long hairs!"

After hearing what Mr. Cha Wu said, everyone looked at each other in shock.

"Has Changmao come outside the customs?" Shopkeeper Zhao asked horribly.

"It's not Nanbian'er's Changmao, it's Qian Ming's! His grandma's, Qian Ming's came out of nowhere..."

All that was left was Master Cha Wu's mumbling.

Although the bannermen outside the pass were full of slander against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when they heard that Qian Ming was resurrected, they were too frightened to speak, and their first reaction was to run away.

After all, everyone knows how Qian Ming will treat them.

At this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky. Except for Mr. Cha Wu who was a little frightened, everyone else was used to it.

After all, I don’t know why in the past two days, this kind of sound has been heard overhead every day. Occasionally, I can see some very large birds flying past in the clouds. I don’t know what it is.

Ugh.

When the country is about to perish, there must be monsters!

It seems that the Qing Dynasty is not a few years old.

"Did you hear that? The emperor and concubines in Beijing are gone. Now the queen is discussing politics with several princes. Not long ago, they made some agreements with foreigners such as the English and Russians..."

A customer was muttering something, deliberately lowering his voice.

After hearing the news, everyone was confused and didn't know what the future was like.

Just when Mr. Cha Wu was shouting, "Hurry up and serve the food, we have to rush to Changchun", Lai Shun had already walked out of the small courtyard with the money.

Although Lai Shun seems honest and honest, he can support a large family, so he certainly has his own wisdom.

Master Cha Wu said that there is a war in Shengjing, so I am afraid that the war will soon reach Changchun.

When the time comes, the price of rice will definitely increase. In this case, I should buy more. I can't chat with these people who are not short of money in Zhao's shop. I have to buy rice quickly.

And, buy more this time!

As soon as he thought about this, he hurried back home. Seeing his wife still busy and his father lying on the kang, he immediately said: "Dad, wife! Take all your belongings and go to Changchun to buy rice!" "

Having said that, let’s check it out by the way.

"what happened?"

Lai Shun's wife didn't know why, and then said: "The family money is for Shunzi to go to school. If he gets a degree in the future, we will all enjoy happiness. Why spend all the money?"

"Test, test, test, what test! The fight started and Shengjing was defeated. If we don't go, the price of rice won't be the same!"

Once the cannon goes off, the food will not be the same price it is now.

A few years ago, when the red-haired ghost came and the food supply increased, his eldest son and his mother starved to death at that time, and even almost sold themselves to work as slaves for a wealthy family!
Hearing these words, Laishun's wife immediately panicked, and the father who was lying on the kang stood up like a carp and shouted loudly: "What are you doing standing still?! Bring the cart and greet the villagers, Go quickly!"

There were too many people, so the gangster didn't dare to mess with them.

Soon, after inviting the villagers to join them, they set out on the road overnight while it was still early, and even brought two muskets hidden in the village.

However, not long after they set out on the road, they heard a "rumbling" sound on the ground.

"Oh my god! Could it be that the earth dragon turned over?!"

"What to do, how to do this?!"

"..."

For a moment, the villagers panicked, but at this moment, they heard a sound like the earth was shattering.

"boom--!!!"

A loud noise completely shattered the silence.

Flying gravel and dust fell like raindrops, and the earth trembled.

"What happened?!"

"Brother Laishun, what should we do?"

The voices of the villagers reached Laishun's ears. Laishun gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "You hide it, I'll go take a look!"

After that, he climbed up the hillside skillfully and started walking in the direction of the sound.

Soon, on the flat and wide road, Laishun saw a scene that frightened him.

Billowing black smoke erupted from the barrel, and the walking artillery appeared in Laishun's sight.

Is this the 'iron pimple' that Mr. Cha Wu said?
Seeing these iron bumps, Laishun was so frightened that he was speechless for a moment, but soon, ten, twenty... more and more iron bumps gathered on the same line, far away Looking at it, it looks like a torrent of steel!
Behind the torrent of steel, there is a neatly arranged cavalry army. Their faces are radiant, and they look like they are an elite division that has fought in hundreds of battles.
Laishun was stunned, but in a moment, the hunter's instinct told him that something was wrong.

When he turned around, before he could retreat, he saw several dark guns pointed at him.

"You dare to spy on our army here. Are you a spy of the Tatars or the foreigners?!"
