He pricked up his ears and listened to the sound of gurgling water. Shen Lie, who was hot and stuffy, was overjoyed and hurriedly got out of the dense forest.
My eyes suddenly opened up.
In front of.
A river suddenly appeared in the deserted mountains and ridges. This river was quite wide and seemed to be a tributary of the Haihe River.
Seeing the clear river water flowing quietly under the setting sun, Shen Lie could no longer hold back and put the little lady down on the weeds.
Take off your clothes while running.
Putting the gun and the sundries on his body to the river, Shen Lie plunged into the river with a sudden movement, and the heat and heat in his body disappeared.
Feeling comfortable.
After a while.
After taking a dip, Shen Lie stood comfortably and relaxedly in the waist-deep river water, scrubbing the dirt and mud off his body and feeling like he was alive again.
He climbed ashore with water all over his body.
Think about it.
Then he walked towards the stunning little beauty, tied her tightly to a big tree, and then untied the restraints on her arms and ankles.
After doing all this, Shen Lie looked around, picked up a wooden stick, tied a sharp dagger to it, and walked into the waist-deep river again.
He narrowed his eyes and aimed at a fat fish swimming leisurely. When the big fish stopped and stopped moving, he plunged in hard.
As blood splashed everywhere, a huge fat fish emerged from the water.
"Ha ha!"
Shen Lie laughed.
Dinner is here!
When night falls again, darkness falls.
The bright moonlight filled the earth.
Shen Lie used a dagger to cut the sashimi and eat it. While eating, he looked at the little beauty tied to the tree. She had her neck drooped and looked lethargic.
Shen Lie only gave her some water and had no intention of giving her anything to eat.
Be hungry.
A person can't starve to death even if he doesn't eat for several days.
Shen Lie was always vigilant towards this little lady with a delicate heart, fearing that she might accidentally fall into her trap again!
Eat on the side.
Shen Lie suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Why are you robbing food?"
The young lady was startled. She raised her neck and looked at the sashimi in Shen Lie's hand. She swallowed involuntarily, but quickly and stubbornly turned her pretty face away.
a long time.
With a bit of disdain, she muttered: "There was a locust plague in the guard station a few days ago. The crops were gone, and the people in the guard house had no way to survive... We are all about to die, so we might as well try our best."
Her soft, slightly hoarse voice reached my ears.
Shen Lie fell silent.
Suddenly, he felt that the fresh sashimi was no longer fragrant. He slowly put down the dagger. Shen Lie looked at her and frowned slightly.
Shen Lie asked again: "The Ministry of War did not distribute relief food?"
As far as he knows.
Under Zhang Juzheng's diligent governance, the grain stores in Changping granaries in various places were still very sufficient, and the Ministry of War could not leave the Tianjin Guards alone.
This question.
Bai Zhenzhen's stunning face suddenly showed a somewhat mocking look: "The Ministry of War...hehehe."
This mocking sneer made Shen Lie's face darken.
Understood.
Where did the relief food allocated by the Ministry of War to Tianjin Guard go?
Both hands are greedy.
Shen Lie's brows furrowed deeper and he pondered. He suddenly thought of a very bad thing, about the collapse of the Wei system.
It seems that by the Wanli period, the guard system, which had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, had indeed reached the edge of collapse.
She was from Tianjin Zuowei, and the health center she was in was most likely established during the Yongle period, which was really a long time ago.
When the garrison was first established, it was only used to farm and raise troops. It was the most proud policy of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it was indeed very effective.
At that time, the health center did not have administrative powers, but it had a residence and acres of land.
The descendants of the family members of the guardsmen were called military households. Later, as the military households multiplied and multiplied from generation to generation, two hundred years later gradually passed.
The health centers scattered throughout the Ming Dynasty became independent kingdoms.
In order to manage these health centers, the imperial court gradually established officials, established yamen, built schools, or moved officials and yamen from other places to Tianjin to serve as trustees.
Why did the guards want to grab food?
I'm hungry.
What is the crime of robbing the canal to transport military rations? It is a heinous crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. Who among the people who stutters is willing to do such a brain-destroying thing?
Think about this.
Shen Lie lowered his head and pondered. He knew that in today's world, the millions of soldiers and military households of the Ming Dynasty have long become a forgotten group of people.
Or……
The most miserable group in this prosperous Ming Dynasty.
after that.
These hungry military households and guards with basic military skills rose up one after another and became the main force in the destruction of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were both from the Wei Institute.
But all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were pretending to be deaf and dumb.
The night is getting darker.
Shen Lie fell silent.
At midnight.
Tongzhou.
Just two days have passed since the shocking case of hijacking military supplies transported by water. The entire dock was brightly lit and heavily guarded everywhere.
There were soldiers holding torches and government officials in a hurry everywhere, searching for something in the grain warehouses.
In the process of killing.
As a man in ragged clothes stumbled out of the bushes beside the official road, he was immediately discovered by patrolling cavalry.
"stop!"
"who!"
In the midst of scolding.
The lean man, whose clothes were in tatters and covered with mud, seemed to have collapsed. He sat down on the ground and could no longer get up.
A group of cavalry galloped over and illuminated the person with a torch. After carefully identifying the person, they quickly saw clearly the filthy brown clothes on the person.
This is actually an adult from Dongchang.
Several cavalrymen were startled. They quickly got off their horses and helped the man up. When they were about to ask questions, the man shivered and pulled off the tooth tag from his waist.
Show your tooth sign.
Wang Hu then screamed at the top of his voice: "Quickly, call someone... we've found the criminal who robbed the food!"
The cavalrymen were in an uproar and did not dare to neglect. They hurriedly helped the Dongchang man up and ran towards the Water Transport General Military Office not far away.
After a while.
The General Soldier's Yamen was boiling like boiling water.
Not long after.
Qingqi flew out.
Speeding towards the capital.
Early the next morning.
Beijing.
As the Meridian Gate opened, civil and military officials, dressed in luxurious official robes, hurried into the Forbidden City, gathered together and talked all the way to the Jinshui Bridge.
Today is a rare grand gathering.
Six months.
Because of a shocking case of grain hijacking, the inner court and cabinet held the first imperial meeting in the ninth year of Wanli for the first time.
By the time the ministers arrived at the Jinshui Bridge, the soldiers in brocade robes and the golden melon warriors had already been standing there for a long time, in an unusual state of solemnity.
All civil and military officials hurriedly arranged their official uniforms and official hats. They were divided into two classes, civil and military, by the Jinshui Bridge, and lined up according to their official ranks.
After another moment.
As the cabinet academicians arrived one after another, and escorted by the imperial guards, a thirty-two-carrying royal chariot slowly came from the deep palace.
Eunuchs, maids, and guards surrounded him.
There were two people sitting on the imperial chariot.
One emperor and one queen mother.
As the imperial chariot fell.
The time has come.
The emperor walked down from the royal chariot and sat on the dragon chair placed in the square, while the queen mother sat in the royal chariot and listened to the government.
Wait until the emperor is seated.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward, stood on the bridge and sang loudly.
