Early the next morning, Lin Jing got dressed and said goodbye to Lin Qingzheng and Lin Zhong. Then he got into the carriage and headed to Chang'an Street where the special envoy team gathered.
Lin Qingzheng, Lin Zhong and others stood under the eaves, watching Lin Jing leave.
The expression on everyone's face is almost the same, which is worrying.
The Hu people were awesome but not merciful, and the frontier fortress was defeated. If not, Lin Jing might not come back.
But no one said anything, except to pray that Lin Jing could return safely, and said that this brought more pressure to Lin Jing.
Lin Jing's carriage arrived at the east gate of Chang'an Street. A small official immediately stepped forward and said: "Lin Yushi, everything is ready. You and Mr. Huang are riding in the same carriage. The other five adults, plus one of us
One, three carriages in total."
Lin Jing looked at the three neat and orderly carriages, snorted, handed him his luggage, and said: "This carriage is worn out."
"Yes." The little official agreed and quickly took over the burden.
Lin Jing walked towards the front compartment and went straight up.
Huang Qihan sat in the west, facing east, with his eyes closed tightly, as if he didn't realize that Lin Jing was coming.
Lin Jing glanced at him, sat north and faced south, found a comfortable position, took out the "Record to God" from his arms, and looked at himself.
"Start!" Soon, a shout came from outside and the carriage began to move.
No one came to see me off. Chang'an Street was very quiet. The trucks walked silently, as if no one knew.
I don’t know how long the carriage swayed. The ground suddenly became flat and not so swaying. Huang Qihan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Jing holding the "god record". He looked at it with fascination and said softly: "From now on
Learning in history is meaningful. It will be good for you to watch more."
Regarding Huang Qihan's advanced education, Lin Jing turned the page and said: "If history is not true, what can be seen from the mistakes?"
"Records of the Gods" was built in the Taichang period, which was only six or seven years old. In these six or seven years, what kind of people were the imperial court like? The events of the Wanli period had a profound impact on the current situation of the imperial court. What is in it?
Less Lin Jing can be seen at a glance.
Huang Qihan hated Lin Jing's attitude the most. He snorted coldly and said, "You are young, frivolous, and rebellious. Sooner or later, you will be hurt."
Lin Jing read the book slowly without thinking, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Didn't you let me hear it? Why don't you say it now?"
Huang Qihan glanced at Lin Jing, then fell asleep again.
Lin Jing looked at his face and suddenly became alert. He looked at him for a while, then slowly turned his eyes to the book and continued reading.
It takes at least six to seven days to transport to Qiantang Pass. Except for Lin Jing, the three carriages are relatively quiet. The next two carriages are full of discussions and laughter.
Lin Jing and others leaving the capital had almost no impact on the huge Kyoto, and no one seemed to know or care.
The reason why the excitement in Kyoto would not stop because of their departure was because on the day after Lin Jing left, Wu Zhihuan temporarily served as a war officer to manage the affairs of the Ministry of War.
This incident shocked many people. At a speed that the outside world could not understand, the frontier approach was only half a step away from the Ministry of War in less than a month!
Yuan Chonghuan is still the governor of the frontier fortress, but he has the title of right-wing war official!
At the same time, there are several reports that Cui Chengxiu, the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is planning to be transferred to the Shangguan Criminal Police Department, Zhang Shaohui has resigned, and Zuo Shilang Ren Huacai is about to enter the petition room.
These changes in the bureaucracy will naturally cause the following impacts, and the instability of the Ming Dynasty is constantly aggravating the deterioration of Ming officials.
In the seventh year of Tianqi, that is, on the 16th day of the first month, Lin Jing and others entered Qiantang Pass.
The current general of Qiantang Pass served as the imperial envoy in the capacity of Lin Xiang, Huang Qihan, Lin Jing, etc., and entered Qiantang Pass with the imperial order and guards, but he did not show up.
Huang Qihan and others didn't seem to care. They rested at Qiantang Pass and prepared to go to Xichuan the next day to visit the border governor Yuan Chonghuan.
Lin Jing did not rest, but walked around Qiantang Pass.
The current Qiantang Pass has not yet become a great pass for future generations. Even though it is under construction, it still looks "shabby", more like a pass that has been worn out for many years.
Lin Jing observed soldiers and civilians here and found that they did not have any fighting spirit or sense of crisis. The officers and soldiers were scattered, wearing improper clothes and hats, and they were walking happily in the city.
People are busy making a living, running around, with exhausted faces and distressed eyes.
"Is this the Hongyi Cannon?"
Lin Jing stood on the tower, looking at the huge cannon mount covered with red cloth, and asked a soldier next to him.
This soldier was sent by Qiantang Pass to "protect" Lin Jing and others. He quickly said: "Lord, yes. The villain heard that this red cannon was powerful on Xichuan and killed countless people."
Lin Jing stretched out his hand and touched it. The cold iron was very hard. Judging from its size, it was estimated to weigh more than ten tons and could only be used to defend or destroy the city.
This red cannon came from the Pu Tao Ya people of Aomen. It was bulky, insufficient in functionality and expensive. For the Ming Dynasty, this was naturally enough, but from Lin Jing's perspective, it was still a bit backward.
Lin Jing vaguely remembered that the Hu people would build a more powerful platform in a few years. Then, with the capabilities of the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely create a better and stronger one!
Lin Jing secretly noticed this and continued to walk around Qiantang Pass and observe.
It would take at least five years to build a strong city for future generations. The Ming Dynasty's retreat to Qiantang Pass was just the wishful thinking of some people.
Lin Jing wanted to investigate the armed status of Qiantang Pass as an inspector or special envoy, but was delayed because he needed the approval of the chief soldier, which he actually refused.
Before Lin Jing descended to the center of the city, several tall Xiyi people walked towards him. They walked around hurriedly, talking with gestures, or arguing about something.
They come and go unattended and free of charge.
Lin Jing watched the two happy people pass by him and reach the city wall.
Lin Jing's eyes moved slightly and he turned his head to look at them.
When the soldier saw it, he hurriedly said: " Lin Yushi, these two people are from Guangdong. I heard that Governor Yuan plans to buy more Hongyi cannons. Xichuan and Yuzhou must be equipped with these cannons. They are very powerful."
Lin Jing sighed. He did not think of Hongyi cannon, but another way to make money in maritime trade!
Now, Europe's large-scale navigation is becoming more mature, and Asia, especially around the Ming Dynasty, is becoming more active. Although the Ming Dynasty adopted an "ignorant" attitude and had naval battles, maritime trade was not obvious, but
Maritime trade in the Ming Dynasty has always been active and never stopped, especially smuggling in Fujian. This chapter has been completed!
