What does it mean to say, 'If there is chaos at home, you will be a thousand times more ruthless than outsiders.'?
When she said these words, didn't she actually defeat his army? She brought thousands of troops with her, and what she did was not to 'cause chaos in the family'! She only prevented outsiders from killing, harming, and hurting others.
, then why didn’t I come here today just to kill, harm, and hurt others? Is my own family a hundred times more ruthless than outsiders?
Huang Qin chuckled, she was really a difficult little girl. He turned around and said, "Give me the order to leave ten miles away and set up camp." Then he jumped off the horse and said, "Since you have invited me to the city, can I still be afraid of her?"
He actually came towards the city gate with only two people accompanying him.
Mr. Fan gritted his teeth and cursed: "This arrogant old man will die of his pride sooner or later."
Lin Yutong secretly laughed in his heart. Even though Mr. Fan sounded like an old man and sounded like a stubborn donkey, he was very close to General Huang in his heart.
"Sir, it's time for us to go down and greet the old general." Lin Yutong said, leading the way and walking quickly towards the city.
Scutellaria baicalensis entered the city gate and was stunned for a moment. Except for the soldiers near the city gate, everything in the city was as usual. The shops on the street were still open and business was going on. There were even some curious pedestrians looking around.
.
This made him frown for a moment. The man stationed in the capital was an idiot.
"The enemy is at hand, but they are so scattered..." Huang Qin's face was cold. If the Hu people knew that the Ming Dynasty's capital defense was like this, I am afraid that no matter how great the resistance is, they would not be able to stop their aggressive ambitions.
Lin Yutong stood behind Huang Qin. He was not annoyed at being blocked by his two followers and could not get closer. He just smiled and said: "Old general, where is the enemy? Why didn't I see it?"
Huang Qin then turned to look at the speaker behind him, "Is she really a little girl?"
Lin Yutong saluted Huangqin, "Yin Lin has met the old general."
Huang Qin nodded, "The Duke's wife is so polite. I don't dare to take it seriously." He said, looking at Lin Yutong with a somewhat evil look: "Little girl, how can you be so arrogant? Even I am not worthy of being your enemy.
Can’t make it?”
Lin Yutong raised his head and smiled: "Old general, how can you be the enemy? You lead the brothers in the border camp to guard the border and are our first line of defense. Without you leading the soldiers to bleed, where would we be?
Peaceful days have passed. Today, the gates of the capital are wide open, welcoming a benefactor. Where is the talk of a powerful enemy?"
The corner of Huang Qin's mouth moved, and he took a deep look at Lin Yutong, "I guard the border, following the emperor's order, and repaying the emperor's favor. If it can benefit the people, it will be a great favor from the emperor!"
Lin Yutong did not refute, "Then Huang En is wandering. The old general hasn't returned to Beijing for a few years. You should see how this capital is different from what you saw before." After saying this, he made a request.
posture, "Let's talk as we walk."
Everyone who saw Lin Yutong on the street also bowed from a distance. Although they did not approach him, they did not appear to be afraid.
It can be seen that Silang of the Yin family is quite popular in the capital.
The streets are not as bustling as before, but people don't look panicky either. Everyone's footsteps are in a hurry, as if they have something to be busy with.
"Is this the capital you asked me to see?" Huang Qin sneered: "To see whether life is good here is not to see whether the streets are swept clean, but to see how many women dare to walk around casually on the streets.
How many children can run around like crazy. I watched for a long time, but I saw neither women nor children. Where have these people gone? The streets are full of young and middle-aged people. How can you say that there are no big enemies? Little babies, I can’t
It’s not easy to lie.”
Fan Dongzhe followed behind and shook his head, cursing a fool in his heart! He fell into someone else's trap step by step and didn't realize it. He was really stupid.
Lin Yutong seemed to have not expected that he would say such a thing, her face turned red, "Old General, my little lady treats you sincerely, how can you be so suspicious and slanderous?" Her tone was very angry, "In this case, Old General, why not
Come with me."
She said, striding forward.
After turning a corner, they stopped at a house. Huang Qi followed Lin Yutong as he approached, and could hear the sound of Lang Lang reading coming from inside.
"You asked me where the children have gone?" Lin Yutong pointed inside, "The children are all inside. Every street has an elementary school. They are taught to read and write for free, and they are given a free meal at noon. It is also a bowl of clear porridge.
, a 2-taels worth of wowotou.”
Huang Qin was stunned. Just one lunch can ensure that these children will not starve to death in this troubled world. If they can still recognize a few words, that would be a great blessing. As long as they are not stupid, they will send children who are incapable of working.
He walked in and looked inside. Each of the children had a sandbox in front of them, and they were writing on dead branches of different thicknesses and lengths.
These children ranged in age, both male and female, which made him stunned again.
Lin Yutong explained on the side: "Many people don't want their daughters to come out in public, but for a meal and to save some rations for the family, they still send the girl's family. This is also an unexpected surprise. Don't worry, she is seven years old.
Girls in the old days would study with men, but for those over seven years old, a separate courtyard was set up, and not only female teachers were invited to teach them how to read, but also nuns from the embroidery workshop were invited to teach them skills. However, what they learn now is not
How to make military uniforms. There are no other instructions for the time being."
Huang Qin pursed his lips, then nodded invisibly.
Then, following Lin Yutong's footsteps, he walked into another large courtyard, where all the people coming in and out were women.
"Women are here too, relying on their own hands to make a living." Lin Yutong pointed outside, "Each street has a linen office, a primary school, and a welfare office. These places are resettlement
Most of the men, old, weak, women and children, have gone to the battlefield. The remaining strong men also have their own errands. They are the patrol teams you see on the street."
Because this is where women stay, Scutellaria baicalensis only glanced outside, then turned around and came out.
Lin Yutong whispered: "The capital has not yet returned to its former prosperity, but at least no one has starved to death since Shengjia left the capital. This is also the reason why I dare to open the city gate wide." She pointed to a group of busy and busy people.
On the peaceful street, "I don't believe that you would ride your horse and wave your sword to break this peace with your own hands."
Huang Qin's face suddenly froze, and it took a while before he glanced at Lin Yutong with complicated eyes.
Lin Yutong looked back without showing any signs of weakness. It seemed that the city gate was so wide open today. If you want to enter the city, fine, you can just come in and kill.
Huang Qin laughed angrily: "Very good! I defeated my army again."
Before Lin Yutong could speak, Mr. Fan finally came out from behind and said, "Madam, the banquet at the house has been prepared. Do you think you should go back to the house first?"
These words gave the two of them a step up.
"It should be." Lin Yutong said and immediately invited Scutellaria baicalensis.
But Huang Qin looked at Fan Dongzhe, "You Fan Laoji...haven't you already...why are you here?"
Mr. Fan gave a wry smile, "It's hard to say anything! It's hard to say anything!" As he said that, he took Scutellaria baicalensis' hand and said, "Listen to me and tell you slowly."
Then half pulling and half pushing, Scutellaria baicalensis was invited into the house.
One braised fish, one white-cut chicken, one stir-fried mutton with green onions, one braised pork, one cold vermicelli, one vinegared cabbage, and one egg soup.
Under today's conditions, it is definitely a luxury.
Scutellaria's face immediately became ugly, "Just give me a bowl of porridge and a plate of pickles."
Mr. Fan said angrily: "Come on, don't embarrass yourself by showing off your old tricks. Such dishes are specially prepared for you today. How can you usually be so extravagant? That year, your military rations were cut off.
You go to the capital to find the Ministry of Household Affairs. Have you forgotten how those people live? At this moment, I am afraid that my wife has transported the food ten miles outside the city and delivered it to you. And she cherishes you very much.
How are you treating me? They treat you as a human being, but you treat me like a Joe! They don’t treat you as a human being, but you treat me even tighter. What are you trying to do with me, you old man?"
Huang Qin looked at Fan Dongzhe and sneered: "You are a high-ranking member of the imperial court, but you faked your death and escaped, and are here to make profits for people with ulterior motives. If you are unfaithful to the emperor and unjust to your friends, you have no right to talk to me. Don't open your mouth!"
He looked like he didn't want to be associated with him.
Mr. Fan then snorted coldly: "Your Majesty is very kind to you, so what did your Majesty say when your military pay and food were withheld that day? And who secretly allocated it to you at the risk of being criticized by Your Majesty? Yes.
Friends are unjust? Ah! Why did I have a relationship with Feng Hai in the first place? Others don't know that you don't know? It's not because of you, a stubborn old thing!" With that, he put all the dishes on the plates.
He pulled her into his arms and said, "Whether you want to eat or not, I don't care if I eat it for you." As he said that, he pointed at Lin Yutong, "You old guy, open your eyes and take a look, take a look at the age of this little girl. Is she as old as you?"
Comparing the granddaughters of our family, who is older and who is younger? How capable you are of arguing with your juniors. If you want this capital, just say something. Madam has already packed her luggage and can leave soon. But, this capital is given to you, can you keep it?
How many days? Can you go back to the Northeast? Won't the imperial court send someone to replace you? Can you ensure that those messy people don't secretly sell the rations for everyone in the capital at a high price? Are you not afraid that the moat outside the city will fill up?
Starving ghost? If you are really not afraid, I really won’t stop you. You call your people into the city immediately and take over the capital immediately. Let’s go!”
