As the transfer order was issued, dozens of cavalry bypassed the main road in the capital and galloped away from the side and back gates of the palace.
Next to Ping'an Tea House, a guard in Jinyi struggled to squeeze in next to Uncle Zhang.
When Uncle Zhang saw the person coming, he quickly asked, "But what orders does Your Highness have to convey?"
Jin Yiwei was panting, took a long breath and said: "Uncle Zhang, the palace decree came, asking Uncle Zhang not to talk about the suspension of recruitment for the time being, and to stabilize the mood of the people first to avoid turmoil."
Uncle Zhang nodded heavily.
In fact, not long ago, when too many people gathered, Uncle Zhang wanted to stop, but he subconsciously felt that if he stopped recruiting workers like this, he was afraid that there would be big trouble.
So I kept arranging people to keep recording the names of the people who came.
In the crowd, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd: "Is it possible that the Jinyiwei people don't want to recruit workers? We have been waiting since early yesterday morning. They are trying to trick us like monkeys."
As soon as he said this, someone immediately echoed: "Yes, it's really a monkey trick. I have been waiting all night, and now there is no water in. Who can be willing to end like this?"
"Brothers, tell me if this is true."
"Yes, why, why can't I enter while the ones in front can enter?"
"I was waiting in the early hours of last night. Now I'm very hungry, so I don't dare to leave for fear of being robbed of my seat."
"Today, I must give an explanation, otherwise I won't leave."
"That's right. The Qunying Chamber of Commerce has deceived the people and must be given an explanation."
All of a sudden, the crowd became excited. They were queuing up in an orderly manner. Taking advantage of the chaos, many people began to deliberately jump in line and disrupt the order.
How could the people who were cut in line be willing to do so? Arguments broke out everywhere, and many of them got angry.
The person who started the attack accidentally hit someone else, and the impact became wider and wider.
All this happened in just a dozen breaths.
Suddenly, the scene became extremely tense.
Uncle Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to find the first few causing trouble in the crowd, but it was obviously useless.
There were too many people, and it was difficult to find those people if they burrowed into the crowd.
Facing such a scene, whether it was the Jin Yiwei or the servant, their bodies tensed up.
In their feeling, a big explosion is about to happen next.
Uncle Zhang's expression remained calm, and even when he looked at the increasingly chaotic crowd, his expression did not change at all.
Instead, he ordered the boys to bring the table, jumped up, stood on the table, and said to the many boys:
"Shout with me!"
"Anyone who shouts trouble will be disqualified from recruitment!"
After hearing Uncle Zhang's instructions, the boys immediately shouted at the top of their lungs: "Anyone who calls troublemakers will be disqualified from recruitment!"
With such a brief sentence, the crowd began to gradually calm down amid the constant shouts of the boys.
The common people came here just to earn a living. Now that they heard this shout, they naturally didn't dare to do anything.
Uncle Zhang had sharp eyes and kept scanning the crowd. When the crowd started to become quiet, it was extremely obvious that those few wanted to cause chaos.
"Catch him. Anyone who catches this person can go directly to the factory!!!"
Uncle Zhang took a deep breath, and a sound like thunder rang out. As a former warrior on the grassland, Uncle Zhang's voice was very loud.
The surrounding people subconsciously looked in the direction of Uncle Zhang's finger, and saw one person still speaking unwillingly, trying to cause greater chaos.
Startled by Uncle Zhang's loud voice, the man seemed to realize something and wanted to get into the crowd.
However, the tried and tested routine just now is no longer useful.
Now, he was like a piece of cake, with no chance of escaping. The eyes of the people next to him were all glowing green.
The next moment, more than ten people nearby gathered around him.
Head, neck, arms, arms, waist, thighs, calves.
Wherever he could be caught, no one was left behind. Everyone knew that as long as he caught him at this moment, not only could he avoid the queue, but he could even enter the factory directly.
"Why are you arresting me? It's not me. You've arrested the wrong person. Come on, that person is about to run away. Arrest him!!!"
The man shouted loudly. At first glance, it seemed that he was really someone else.
Several hands hesitantly let go.
When it seems that everyone is about to let go and go find someone else.
With this shout, several hands that had originally separated returned with lightning speed, and there seemed to be a few more.
At this moment, the man wanted to cry but had no tears, knowing that he could not run away.
His gaze subconsciously looked towards his surrounding accomplices.
The accomplices understood that there was no way to save him and quietly slipped away from the crowd.
Seeing his accomplice disappear in the crowd, the man felt relieved, and then he was calmly wrapped up by the people and dragged towards Uncle Zhang.
"Very good, hand the person over to Jin Yiwei, go there to register, leave your address, and someone will notify you of the date of entry into the factory."
"You can also pay attention to the notice recently and come by yourself."
Uncle Zhang kept his promise and said to the seven or eight people who surrounded the troublemaker.
After hearing this, the people immediately cheered and went to register.
The person was also handed over to Jin Yiwei.
The man looked at Uncle Zhang with an arrogant expression, his meaning was very obvious, no matter what you ask me, I will never tell you.
However, to this person's surprise, Uncle Zhang just glanced at him and ignored him.
Just let Jin Yiwei press him away.
"Don't you want to know who I am and why I came here to cause trouble?" the man shouted to Uncle Zhang.
However, Uncle Zhang didn't want to talk and didn't even look back.
The man was escorted away by the royal guards unwillingly.
Next, Uncle Zhang said loudly to the crowd: "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't be anxious. I know I have been waiting for a long time, but there are too many people."
"Everyone is watching, and our registration has never stopped."
"Next, I would like to ask fellow villagers to pay attention to the surrounding areas. If anyone deliberately provokes people like this person just now, as long as they catch him, they can go directly to the factory."
After hearing what Uncle Zhang said and what happened just now, everyone started to look at the people around them with eager eyes.
More people regretted the opportunity just now. It would have been great if it was next to them.
Taking this opportunity, Uncle Zhang looked at the register and saw that it was almost at the bottom.
In fact, eight to nine thousand people have been registered for the Ping An Teahouse alone.
In the entire capital, there are four registration points like Zhang Bo's.
This means that the current number of workers has already exceeded the planned number.
But Uncle Zhang had no intention of stopping. Instead, he asked the boy to go to the teahouse and prepare some brochures.
He is waiting.
Waiting for the army arranged by Jin Yiwei just now.
Only by stabilizing the people first can this incident pass.
As Zhu Ying's former personal butler, although Zhang Bo is a Jurchen from the East China Sea, this does not mean that he is less intelligent.
Uncle Zhang has read quite a few books over the years.
For him, there was no need to panic in such a scene.
"Changsun Dian ordered that all members of the guard station be summoned immediately to reorganize their military equipment and enter the city to maintain order."
"The Changsun Palace has issued an order that all officers and men who enter the city must not behave in any way that disturbs the people. Once discovered, they will be severely punished."
"The Changsun Palace has ordered that this is a rehearsal for the grand military parade. Those who perform the worst will be disqualified from the grand military parade."
Three edicts were circulated to the twenty-four guards guarding the capital.
Except for the palace guards who did not move, other guards immediately began to move quickly.
"It's good for me, General. You must not violate any of His Highness Changsun's three orders."
"If the soldiers of our guard station miss the military parade because of someone's violation, huh, then I will tell you that the good days are over."
"Today, please be more positive. When walking, pay attention to your formation. This time you enter the city, there must be someone monitoring you at all times. Don't embarrass me, the general."
In a certain guard post, the commander roared loudly at the soldiers who had gathered urgently.
The sudden rehearsal gave a large number of conductors an opportunity.
It is said that raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while.
After experiencing this high-intensity training, both soldiers and generals were full of energy and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to perform well.
At the gate of the capital city, all the guards were arranged in a neat square formation, crossing the city gate and walking towards the street.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was like an earthquake-like vibration, a huge noise caused by the highly unified steps of the soldiers.
Soon the people's attention was attracted by this sound.
"According to the decree of Emperor Changsun, the recruitment of workers by the Qunying Chamber of Commerce has had too great an impact and disrupted the order of the capital. We hereby order that the recruitment of workers be stopped immediately and the method of recruitment be changed."
"Now, the participating people should return home immediately and disperse from the streets without delay."
When the general shouted something from the front, the soldiers behind him would follow suit.
After shouting three times in a row, he stopped.
The people looked at each other in shock. Even His Highness Changsun's order came over. Who dared to challenge the royal authority?
I just feel a little unwilling to leave like this.
Seeing this, Uncle Zhang immediately ordered the boy to put away the registration book, and then said: "Fellow folks, don't worry, His Highness means that the impact this time is too great, and he will not stop recruiting. He just needs better methods."
That’s all.”
"If someone is taking advantage of you, you have committed a serious crime. Don't go to the factory when the time comes, and you will be jailed instead."
With the support of the army, Uncle Zhang's confidence suddenly became stronger.
Even the registration was cancelled, so it was naturally impossible for the people to continue. The long queue soon gradually dispersed.
In the process of dispersing, the heroic appearance of the army was also seen by the people.
"My Ming Dynasty is so magnificent. I have never heard of such a powerful army. I have never seen it before. With such a large army guarding us, why worry about our Ming Dynasty not being prosperous?"
"Feng Linhuoshan, our Ming army has such military discipline, and the future is promising."
The moment I saw the army in the crowd, I kept thinking of the sighs and the extremely strong sense of pride.
This is the Ming Dynasty army guarding the capital. It has strong deterrent and oppressive power. As the army approaches, it becomes even more terrifying.
Many of the people behind saw him and subconsciously pushed aside to make way for him.
Situations like this happen all over the capital.
The twenty-four guards who quickly entered the city quickly controlled the street intersections and strictly restricted the gathering behavior of the people.
More than 134,000 soldiers quickly sealed off the entire capital.
As the streets were taken under control, all commanders issued orders to close the city and asked the people to go home, especially those who had been hungry, and they were asked to go back immediately.
The situation was effectively controlled within half an hour after the army was dispatched.
The main thing is the neat formation, which has a big enough impact on all the people.
Most people have only heard of such an army from storytellers in restaurants.
Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it is very shocking.
When the 24th Guards entered the town to suppress the situation, the interrogation of the previously captured troublemaker had already begun.
"Name."
"Grandpa Gao Yong."
"Hometown."
"Fengyang people."
"What!!"
Jin Yiwei, who was doing the registration, immediately looked up at Gao Yong and stopped writing in his hand.
Fengyang is from the same hometown as His Majesty.
How could he come over and join in the trouble?
Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of the interrogation, was a little confused.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Even if we live in the same hometown as His Majesty, why would we do such a thing?"
"You should know that if you trigger it, how many people may be trampled to death."
Upon hearing the question, Gao Yong snorted coldly and said: "Our father was killed. What else can I do, just watch my father being executed without any reaction?"
Jin Yiwei frowned and asked: "Who is your father? How can he be executed and still make you resentful?"
After hearing this, Gao Yong said coldly: "Don't worry about it. Since I was caught by you, I never thought about going back alive when I came here. Don't try to trick me. I won't tell you even if I die."
When the Jinyiwei heard this, he hesitated for a moment and then turned and left.
When it comes to His Majesty's fellow countrymen, there are some things that cannot be decided by just a guard in uniform, especially when it comes to executions.
In most punishments, if the prisoner fails to persist, he will at least lose his life.
It didn't take long for someone with a high status to come over.
The person who came over was none other than Chen Zhi from Qianhu.
Chen Zhi came over, sat directly in front of Gao Yong, and then asked: "I just heard that you are from the same hometown of His Majesty, and your father was executed, so you have bad intentions, right?"
"Tell me what your father committed and was executed for. Maybe I can help you rehabilitate."
In Chen Zhi's mind, it was possible that this person's father was wrongly accused and died, so he wanted to use this to make a lie.
Gao Yong sneered: "Haha, who do you think you are? You still want to reverse my father's case. Do you know who convicted my father and then executed him?"
Chen knew: "This is the capital. No matter who you are, as long as you speak out, if you really have grievances, I guarantee that I will definitely clear your name."
Gao Yong sneered and said: "Okay, this is what you said. The person who executed my father was none other than the current emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Come on, tell me how to reverse my father's case!"
