Chapter 4: Pro-Conscription Parade
"I'm strong...... Everyone, please prepare with the mood of 'three days should be impressed'! Zhu Cihong looked at Yang Wenyue and nodded.
Yang Wenyue said loudly: "Colleagues, the imperial military parade will be held after July. The strength of the Ming Dynasty, please look forward to it! ”
……
April in Kyoto is getting hotter, and the people living in this bustling city are no longer huddled in dirt pits and wrapped in warmth, but gradually begin to go out of their homes.
Those with a thinner family background went out to find things to do, and those with a thicker family background were idle every day, inheriting the habit of the people under the roots of the imperial city for thousands of years: talking about national affairs.
Especially after a terrible plague struck, the people in the capital especially cherished their leisure in recent days. God is pitiful, for so long, the people of Jingshi have not suffered a day when they don't even dare to go out of the gate.
With the dissipation of the plague and the return of the homeless, life in the capital was much better.
The days are better, and everyone finally doesn't have to keep their eyes glued to filling their bellies, and they all share what they have heard in their ears, so as to win the good fortune of a neighbor.
Originally, such a place was in various teahouses in Kyoto.
It's a pity that with the strengthening of plague control, there are also medical workers wearing white coats and white masks stationed in places where people gather in teahouses. There are such unhappy people, let alone any business, and teahouses everywhere have announced their closure.
Those who were sloppy and did not meet the standards were even ordered to rectify and close down.
In this way, the various fang offices have become a gathering place for idlers to eat tea.
The Fang Gong Office is the station of the Fang Fangzheng, the Li Chief, the Security Chief and the Fire Armor Patrol Police Shop, and there are also public offices assigned by the police stations of each city. The gathering of yamen everywhere has made this place a distribution center for news. Because it is a public shop, the inspection is the strictest, which makes it the safest place.
Coupled with the new emperor's new atmosphere, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the newly run yamen officials are all fair, and it is rare to oppress the people, and they have earned great dignity for the new emperor.
"With the blessing of the imperial court, what is the plague and poisonous gas?" An idler said casually, never imagined, but this contributed to the liveliness of the various square offices.
In the Fang Gong Office of Mingzhaofang, Fang Zheng Wei Jiexu walked in.
This is a simple courtyard house with an open door. Wei Jiexu strolled in, and saw a black-skinned Xi Jinwen in the inverted room with several fire armor from the patrol shop on duty. What made Wei Jiexu laugh in his heart was that these people were shaking their heads to read and write.
"Master Xi, you're on duty today." Wei Jiexu said hello.
Xi Jinwen raised his head and responded with a smile: "If you take on this official service, you have to do something." In the past few days, has Wei Fang been running diligently? ”
"The order from above, this is not the same as in the past." Wei Jiexu shook his head, sang a sentence without a tune, and followed the shadow wall into the weeping flower gate. After the weeping flower gate is the courtyard of the fang office.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, the noisy sound couldn't stop coming out, Wei Jiexu looked at it, and immediately laughed: "Everyone came early today." ”
"Fang Zheng is also here!"
"Wei Fangzheng, everyone has been waiting for a long time!"
"Yes, I was talking about it a few days ago, and I asked a few tea doctors in the army to talk about the Ping Dynasty, don't forget it!"
The courtyard is full of all kinds of neighbors dressed in different clothes. The neighbors glanced at me and said a word, and they all lined up this square office to be lively.
"It's good to be lively, it's better than the corpses that are carried out day by day." Wei Jiexu sighed in his heart, looked at a few people, and said, "Don't forget, you are relaxed." ”
"Haha, don't worry, everyone. This matter, Lao Wei really took it to heart. It's just that this time it is not easy to get talents from the army, so I can only wait for the expansion of the army this time and go to the army school to ask. At this time, a person walked out of the main room of the courtyard.
Everyone looked at this person, and the voices of greeting came and went, and they were even more enthusiastic than Fang Cai Fang Zheng Wei Jiexu.
"Director Zhao!"
"Director Zhao is busy?"
Fang Cai heard that Director Zhao was busy inside, but he didn't dare to bother. This is the first-class West Lake Longjing prepared by Xiao Lao'er, you can try it......"
"And I'm here, where I made my own beef jerky with sauce!"
……
Everyone rushed to Zhao Yingxian's side one after another.
Looking at the enthusiasm of the neighbors, Zhao Yingxian smiled and said, "The kindness of the neighbors, I understand Zhao." It's just that I'm on official business, so I can't stand it. You all keep it for yourself, and Zhao has to be busy with official business. ”
Calmly coping all the way, Zhao Ying broke out of the encirclement first. Just when there was no one in front of him, Zhao Yingxian suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, that's right." Ladies and gentlemen, just now I met with colleagues from the clinic next door in the main room. Listen to them and they've already started inspecting the teahouses. If this is all right, the teahouse is almost ready to reopen. ”
The clinic was a new institution, but it was only a brief explanation, and everyone quickly accepted it. Originally, Daming had medical institutions in the local area, there was Tai Hospital at the top, and there was also Huimin Pharmacy at the bottom. Diagnose and sell medicines for civilians, take charge of storing medicines, concocting medicines, etc., and military and civilian craftsmen and poor people can seek medical advice at Huimin Pharmacy. In the event of an epidemic disease, Huimin Pharmacy sometimes provides medicines free of charge.
It's just that because of the scarcity of funds in the court, these institutions are operating more and more poorly, and they were finally incorporated by Zhu Cihong to enrich the doctors of the army hospital and become a health center in the Fanggong.
Today, the health clinics are responsible for administering medicines and administrative duties, checking whether the hygiene standards are met. In this plague-ridden period, there is almost a word of authority that can determine the life and death of a shop.
Now, the plague has passed, and the rest of the capital has begun to slowly return to calm. Under the patrols of the health center, the crowded places in Beijing are gradually able to open.
When everyone heard the good news that Zhao Yingxian came back to say, they were immediately surprised: "The Jingshi has completely opened the ban!" ”
"That's great news!"
"I'm bored in the house every day, and I don't even have a place to spend time in Kyori, so it's boring. Now that's it! ”
"Then it seems that the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion should be fine?"
"Haha......"
Everyone laughed and discussed.
Seeing this, Zhao Ying turned around and left.
It's just that as soon as Zhao Yingxian walked to the shadow wall, he saw Xi Jinwen coming out of the upside-down room.
Xi Jinwen was panting, this was not exhaustion from excessive exercise, but an agitation. His face was flushed, his eyes widened, he looked at Zhao Yingxian, his hands trembled slightly, and said, "Big thing, big thing happened!" Look at the official letter of the superior! ”
"Oh?" Zhao Ying passed it over with a single arrow, and with curiosity in his heart, he opened the official letter of the Dongcheng Police Station.
At the same time, in the several tables set up in the courtyard of the courtyard, the old and young masters continued to chatter. The melons and fruits on the table were in a mess, and without the public, everyone spoke much more smoothly.
"Let's talk about it, this time the ban on Jingshi has been lifted, where can we have fun?" It was Hong Xiucai who spoke, and this scholar had been hanging around in the Fang Gong Office recently. I don't know what wind he heard, so I took the time to ask about Jingshi Primary School. Obviously, he is eyeing the position of Dongcheng Elementary School, not a teacher or a teacher.
It's just that the General Administration of Education is Zhu Cihong's new-style bureaucratic system, and the people in it and these local snakes in Beijing are two different lines, and Hong Xiucai didn't let him get an accurate answer for a few days. The only one who knows how to do things is Zhao Yingxian, but Zhao Yingxian is in the police system, and he will not interject.
Hong Xiucai opened his mouth, and the picture was a little cold, but it soon became warm.
"It's been a long time since I've been to Yanle Hutong, but I've been looking forward to the scenes in those tiles for a long time, and I don't know what the Wang family's ability is......"
"If you want me to say, Goolan Hutong is the first class fun place, and I don't know if the girls in the alley are ......okay after this mess has passed."
"Then you'll have to find some good work first. After this chaos, how many families have no money to spend......"
Everyone was talking, and suddenly, as if they were blown by a cold wind, their words suddenly became lighter. Just like that, the venue suddenly became deserted.
Everyone turned around, looked at the place where the abnormality occurred, and suddenly realized, and said to the comer: "Director Zhao is back again?" ”
"Everyone, everyone!" Zhao Yingxian's chest rose and fell, looking at everyone, he couldn't stop panting, and suddenly remembered the topic that everyone was talking about, smiled, and said: "I just heard you talk about where you can go after the ban is lifted, but today!" I can solve your doubts. I just received a report from the Ministry of War: His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has decided to take a personal expedition on April 17 to pacify the northwest! ”
"My emperor will leave the palace?" Hong Xiucai was dumbfounded: "It's still a royal carry!" ”
He just wanted to say in his heart that this is not in line with the regulations.
But as soon as he turned his head, he saw that the people were all excited: "His Majesty the Emperor, who defeated the Tartars and restored peace to my capital for at least ten years, is going to leave the palace?" Want to drive in person? Doesn't it mean that we and other little people also have hope to see the sky? ”
"Great! My position is also due to the new policy of the Holy Lord. ”
"Brothers from the patrol shop, this time the security in the capital has been scraped back and forth for me three times. Don't let a thief spoil the grand event of the Holy Emperor's personal conquest! ”
"The Holy One who has cured the plague is about to leave the palace...... Then what kind of tile alley are you going to, old and young masters, hurry home and prepare a proper dress! ”
……
Everyone was buzzing, and the originally full house suddenly fell into only a few people from the Fanggong Office.
Zhao Yingxian laughed, turned his head, looked at a few old guys around him, applauded, and said, "Brothers, this time the patrol will be increased." However, the good thing is that the special allowance in the police station has been prepared in advance, and half of it will be paid first. This time, show the saint the ability of our grassroots police officers! ”
"Whoa!" Xi Jinwen led several fire armors and shouted one after another.
……
In 1644, it was originally scheduled to be the seventeenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.
History, at this moment, has taken a very different path.
But now, in the time and space of the new Zhu Cihong, there is no decline in the history of the Beijing division ravaged by plague, defeat, and poverty. There is no desolation, frustration, despair of negativity. There is no lifeless court.
Yes, a vigorous nascent regime under the rule of a young emperor.
He firmly and forcefully revitalized this thousand-year-old city through a series of means.
Zhu Cihong first inspected his army in the Chengtian Gate.
This is the moment when the Royal Guards show their best strength.
Zhu Cihong stood on the tower of Chengtianmen, looking far away, looking at the west, and the sound of rolling iron hooves came. The first to appear was the cavalry battalion Liu Zhensuo, which was directly under the corps. This cavalry unit, which has been tested by war for a long time, is a sharp sword in Zhu Cihong's hands.
Accompanied by the sound of rolling horses' hooves, the drums were blown one after another. This is Zhu Cihong's adaptation of "Qin King Breaking Array Music", which is mainly based on drums and horns, which adds a strong sense of rhythm while retaining the strong momentum of this dance music.
The important ministers who accompanied Zhu Cihong to ascend to the Chengtian Gate watched silently, looking at this scene, Huang Jingfang muttered: "It's like the Tang Dynasty ......"
On the side, Yang Wenyue said softly: "Lord Shoufu." This is just the beginning of the rising sun, this battle is peaceful, and this strong army is just a knife to kill chickens. ”
Huang Daozhou kept silent, staring at the scene in front of him, thinking in his heart: "Can these soldiers protect this emperor who is hoped for by the Ming Dynasty?" ”
……
The queue of the cavalry battalion passed, and behind it was Zhu Cihong's trump card in the world: the Flying Bear Battalion.
Represented in the ranks was the grenadier company of the Flying Bear Battalion. They were dressed in majestic military uniforms, bright red military uniforms, cowhide boots, and white leggings that had not been seen in the army before. A crisp, short-brimmed cylindrical mink hat is crowned on his head. On the edge of the hat, there is a Liao seal character sewn thinly. This proves that they were the heroic troops who participated in the First Battle of Shenyang and invaded Shengjing.
Later, there was also the Tiger Ben Battalion of Liu Sheng's Division, the Hu Dawei of the First Regiment, the Third Infantry Battalion of the Qi Xian Division, and the Seventh Infantry Battalion were as fierce as tigers. and the 2nd Regiment Chen Yongfu Division, under the command of the 2nd Infantry Battalion, the 8th Infantry Battalion, and the 9th Infantry Battalion.
These troops were inspected by Zhu Cihong, and in the majestic military music, they gathered from the east and west Chang'an Avenue to the outside of Chengtian Gate, turned south from the road, and exited Zhengyang Gate through Daming Gate, and entered the sight of the people of Beijing.
Along with it, there is also the addition of Zhu Cihong. He got into a special four-**** carriage behind the Flying Bear Battalion and followed the army out.
Except for the third regiment of Fu Rugui's department in Henan, Zhu Cihong's strong army once again walked out of the heavy military camp. Even the auxiliary barracks and army hospitals are once again following suit. The only difference is that the Army Hospital retains some military doctors, and after absorbing some civilian doctors and Tai Hospital Tai Doctors, the Jingshi Physician School was established to expand its strength.
……
On both sides of Zhengyang Street, Zhao Yingxian and Xi Jinwen led the police officers from all over the Beijing Division to pull out a cordon on the Zhengyangmen Road and block the enthusiastic people.
Hundreds of people eagerly watched the gate tower of Zhengyangmen, and inside, the soldiers who participated in the military parade slowly walked out. (To be continued.) )
