Chapter 786 Lin Zhao enters the naturalized city, and Daiyu enters the Rongguo Mansion
After chasing for less than two hours, I saw horses parked outside a sheltered den, with dozens of tents of different sizes pitched inside. They looked very rough and crude.
Maybe they were in shock, or maybe they were used to doing this kind of thing, but there were no two sentries.
So the Jin Yiwei prepared their bows, crossbows and fire guns, charged and bombarded them, and after charging back and forth several times on horseback, they killed all the others except for a few tongues.
"Sir, those tongues have been tortured, and they all told the same story. They got the news from Datong, and they came to intercept them on the way. They were led by a tribal leader, and they took the risk to kill people and steal goods near Guihua City, just because they gave the science to the police every year.
Budo offered sacrifices, so Khovd indulged them."
Lin Zhao nodded and said coldly:
"Kill them all and build a Jingguan!"
The tone was very calm, and the people below didn't think anything of it. They only heard screams and curses resounding in the camp, and the food was quickly cleared.
The group of people returned to the camp with their heads, but it was actually already dawn.
Da Jian no longer planned to move forward, and arranged for everyone to take a rest after the shift rotation.
Continue setting off the next day.
However, after they left, they left behind a tower of more than a thousand heads in Beijing.
On the way back, everyone had been following Lin Zhao for a long time, and they could feel that the commander of the Imperial Guard was a little unhappy. Li Long came closer and whispered:
"Sir, there are some bastards on the left and right. Just kill them if you want. They have already built up a palace to scare the king's horse bandit tribe. Why bother."
"More than a hundred years ago, our Central Plains was almost destroyed. How long has passed, these tribes are showing off their power at the border again? It's really unpleasant to watch!"
Lin Zhao replied calmly.
In other words, it seems that after the birth of the machine gun, the grassland people became good at singing and dancing.
With the powerful repressive power of feudalism in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it seems unrealistic to liberate productivity and manufacture machine guns on a large scale.
How about strengthening industry and commerce, expanding the Zhou Dynasty's Junkers, and arming the Han merchant groups at the border?
It seems to be an option.
Thinking about the futility of all this, Li Long asked: "Sir, are we still dressing up as Jin Yiwei?"
"No need, we will change into a business group and enter Guihua City in a big way."
Lin Zhao suddenly smiled.
A business group of 500 people was walking on the grassland, which seemed very eye-catching.
But after entering Guihua City, it was no longer rare.
There are many caravans and caravans coming from the Western Regions, Datong, and the grasslands. Almost every caravan and caravan has hundreds or even thousands of people.
There are many business travelers, so although Guihua City is a big border town, businessmen from all over the world gather together, making it more prosperous than other places.
This is what a transportation hub city is all about.
A group of people rode horses into the city gate and walked on the main street. Like other cities, the road connecting the city gate is one of the widest streets in the city, so-called main street.
Not long after the cavalry entered the city, they noticed a chaos in front of them. Lin Zhao and the others didn't know what to do, but a man on the street hurriedly walked out of his house and shouted:
"My guest, please give way to the horse team to the side of the road. Mr. HKUST's team is coming, and they can't collide with it!"
Lin Zhao exchanged glances with the people around him, then waved, and the people behind him led their horses towards the roadside. Lin Zhao smiled at the man, nodded, and thanked him. The man smiled and replied, and went home.
.
After all, the New Year is approaching and businessmen all want to go home to celebrate the New Year. At this time, there are only a few merchants who have traveled long distances to Guihua City. People on the street are consciously moving to both sides of the street.
Not long after, dozens of knights appeared on the street. They were all strong and strong knights. They looked like Han and Mongol people from all ethnic groups. They talked and laughed loudly as if no one else was around. They galloped and swaggered past everyone. Looking at this direction, they should
Went out of town.
Lin Zhao and others were just about to leave when they heard someone talking beside them:
"Thanks to someone for reminding me, the person who came from Jinan Prefecture a few days ago was not knocked down by a horse by these people and had his leg trampled..."
Everyone around heard this. Li Long and Pei Lun, who were clear-minded, immediately turned to look at Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao just smiled slightly: "Hurry up and find an inn and rest first."
…
In Chang'an City, the Laba Festival has passed, the New Year atmosphere has become more and more intense, and it has snowed one or two times. When the plum blossoms in Cuicui'an are about to fade, Daiyu finally has free time. Accompanied by Grandma Rong and a few maids, she arrives.
He would send gifts to the Rongguo Mansion and participate in the Plum Blossom Poetry Club in the Grand View Garden.
She first went to greet Jia Mu and apologized: "My brother should have come with me, but he received the emperor's mission and was on his way to Guihua City in Suiyuan. Before leaving, he told me that if I came here, I would
Say hello to grandma for me."
Jia Mu smiled and said: "Since your brother is the Imperial Guard and a personal soldier of the Emperor, he should naturally serve the country and His Majesty wholeheartedly. It's just a hard job to go outside the Great Wall to be frozen in the coldest month of winter."
Dai Yufang met Mrs. Xing Wang and the sisters. Sister Feng said with a smile: "Ancestor, I'm afraid you don't know that the reason why cousin Lin went to work outside the Great Wall was because Your Majesty's prelude was too perfect, and the Emperor and Elder Ge felt that he was too much.
His sharp edge is sharp, and he needs to be sharpened, so he is specially made to suffer.”
Jia Mu said, "Where did you get the news?"
Sister Feng said: "Where else can I ask? Now everyone in the capital knows it. They say that Mr. Lin is a genius. A memorial "Opening Songjiang Port" attracted the attention of the government and the public. The two ministers, the first minister and the second minister,
In addition to the three ministers in the six books, there is also a Ge Lao He Yingren who only serves as an official. Several people took turns to ask questions, but our Uncle Lin not only answered fluently, but also drew inferences from one instance to another. In the end, both Zhang Ge and Tian Ge were speechless.
It is said that several ministers did not care about their shame and asked for tea from the saint."
Jia Mu hurriedly asked Daiyu, "Yu'er, is it true?"
Daiyu smiled and said: "Brother has never told me, but it is everywhere on the street. I also asked the elder brothers of the Jinyiwei who served my brother in front of me. They all said that my brother asked many people and consulted for this memorial.
There’s tons of information. Speaking of which, I’ve seen my brother burn the midnight oil several times.”
Jia Mu sighed: "It is said that no pain, no gain, this is true. Brother Zhao can do this, which is beyond the reach of many people."
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Old ancestor, this is not the end. I heard from my mother that my father went back to learn from her. After our uncle Lin left, the emperor asked Zhang Tingyu, Mr. Zhang Ge, how was this son? The result was Zhang Tingyu.
The elder Ge said just five words, "He is the pillar of the country," and other ministers nodded one after another, saying that they usually don't know what Uncle Lin's talent is, but what he has gained today will make him proud..."
"You stand out." Baochai smiled and said, "It's time for Feng girl to learn some books and recognize some commonly used idioms."
Sister Feng glanced at her and said with a smile: "I'm just a poor person. I'm not smarter than you girls, and I can't learn. But my Qiao'er learned it from County Master Lin. I don't need you girls to achieve my future achievements."
Poor. My father said that the cabinet ministers all said that Mr. Lin was a genius. But Mr. Zhang Ge said again that it is difficult for young people to become great without hard work. There was a genius named Zhang Juzheng back then.
, he took part in the scientific examination at the age of thirteen, but the examiner thought he was too young and wanted to hone him for a few years. Your Majesty thought about it and asked Uncle Lin to stop celebrating the New Year at home and go on a business trip to hone his skills! Sister Lin, I
Is that what you said?"
While everyone was laughing, Daiyu's face turned red, she smiled, nodded silently, and her eyes narrowed in laughter.
After a while, Daiyu said: "Actually, it's not that dramatic. After all, my brother is the capital of the Jinyi Guards and is the emperor's personal army. If there is a situation in the country and the country needs the Jinyi Guards, it will naturally be handled by my brother. This is his duty.
.Speaking of which, my brother said that he still likes to sit by himself at the desk, reading and drinking tea."
Xiangyun said: "Really? I thought Uncle Lin's favorite thing was dancing with swords and guns. Otherwise, how could he be a royal guard?" As he said this, he clasped his hands and laughed.
As soon as these words came out, there was a slight silence in the room, and even Jia Mu's face became a little dark.
Daiyu's eyes turned cold and she said: "Look what Miss Shi said. This Jinyiwei matter is a serious errand assigned by His Majesty, how can it be regarded as a hobby? The imperial edict is given, how dare you resist it?"
Xichun couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said: "Resisting and disobeying the decree is a crime of confiscating the house. Sister Yun doesn't know that, right? Sister Ruoyun really doesn't understand the affairs of the court. She should ask the two uncles of the Shi family more in the future. After all,
The person Sister Yun is marrying is a local official after all. It is better to know more about some official principles, so as not to hinder the future brother-in-law Yun."
Xiangyun's face turned red and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Tanchun smoothed things over and said, "Well, it's rare for Sister Lin to come over, so we'd better go to the garden and compose poems. Unfortunately, my second brother went to the temple to kneel and pray, so there's one less person."
Daiyu smiled and said nothing: If she hadn't known that Baoyu was not here, how could she have come here today?
Seeing that the atmosphere had improved, Jia Mu felt a little tired. She didn't want to be angry for no reason anymore, so she said: "That's it, I'm tired. I heard that your sisters have set up a poetry club. Come over quickly. My old lady wants to have some peace and quiet."
Everyone stood up quickly to say hello, and then filed out.
