The Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties were prevalent, the Jin Dynasty moved south, a corner of the Yangtze River, the south of the Yangtze River was mountainous, and the wind of Qing talk prevailed during the two Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the children of the powerful knew that they would eat five stone scatter all day long, drink wine and feast, and have fun, and each of them had a weak body and bones, and they were afraid that even women were not as good, and they could be scared when they saw a horse, and they were mistaken for tigers. Some of these wastes still love to go out to play, so this kind of light and comfortable, uphill and downhill shoulders are completely unhindered.

It is made of two long poles, and a soft chair is set up to sit on people, which is very simple to make or use. Even ordinary people can easily build it, but it is just to find two sturdy bamboo poles and then get a chair.

At first, there was no coverage on the shoulder, just like the common "sliding rod" in Sichuan in later generations, but later, slowly those who sat on the top disliked the open wind on all sides of the shoulder, and they may be a little cold, or they feel that it is not grand enough, or it is not private enough, and they can be seen clearly by picking their nostrils on the top...... Anyway, slowly, many things were added to the top and bottom of the chair and around it to cover them - silk brocade, green tweed, blue cloth, and so on......

So the sedan chair was formed.

A wooden rectangular frame fixed in the middle to two thin wooden sedan poles with toughness. The bottom of the car is closed with a wooden plank, and the backrest seat box can be placed on the top for single or double people. The car top and the left, right and rear three sides are sealed with a curtain, and the front is set up with a car curtain that can be lifted, and the car curtain on both sides leaves a small window, and another curtain is prepared.

Its shape is like a car, and add all kinds of decoration, comfortable ride, this is not a shoulder but a sedan car, after the Tang and Song dynasties began to prevail is this.

But it's not like you can sit in what kind of sedan chair you want to sit on, it depends on the level.

In the seventh year of Hongzhi's order, civil and military officials should take a sedan chair for four people. The five government stewards, internal and external town guards, garrisons and dukes, uncles, governors, etc., regardless of the old and young, are not allowed to take the sedan chair, illegal sedan chair and unauthorized use of eight people.

In the second year of Longqing, Yingcheng Bosun Wendong was arrested for violating the rules by taking a sedan chair and was immediately fined and suspended.

The Manchu Dynasty also stipulated: "Han officials with more than three grades, silver for the top of the Jingtang, and soap for the cover." There are four people in Beijing and eight people in Beijing. Clerks below the fourth grade, two husbands, and tin for the top. Provincial governors, fu, and eight people. Below the priest, above the teaching position, and four people. Miscellaneous jobs on horseback. …… Common people's cars, black oil, head-to-head, flat-topped, soap mantle. The car is the same car system. It is forbidden to use cloud heads. ”

Officials need to follow the rules, and the people must not exceed the system if they have money.

The sedan chair used by the folk is divided into two kinds: the sedan chair and the sedan chair, the former is used by ordinary women to go out, and the latter is dedicated to marriage.

This is not the same as the later generations, which had restrictions on the cars that officials could take, but the people didn't care, as long as you had money, you could take any car.

The largest sedan chair in the Ming Dynasty is naturally the thirty-two sedan chair that the prefect of Zhending gave to Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Ge Lao first, and the sedan chair was made extremely luxurious, consuming countless precious materials. And the most appalling thing is its size, which is more than 50 square meters if the area is equivalent to the units of later generations, which is comparable to the average two-bedroom or three-bedroom without a living room (for example, the house that the bitter pear is now sharing near Beijing's Second Ring Road). There is a living room, a reception room, a bedroom and a toilet, which can be described as complete and fine. There is also a corridor outside the sedan chair, surrounded by railings, if the first assistant is tired of dealing with official business inside, you can walk around outside, look at the railing, look at the scenery, and soothe your mood.

In the end, there will be no bigger car than this pomp. It takes thirty-two people to lift the bar, and not one less. And the sedan chair is too big, when Zhang Xiangye sat in this big sedan chair back to his hometown Jiangling, along the way because the sedan chair is too big to pass the boundary can not be a lot, so the road is narrow to build the road, the bridge is small to choose to repair the bridge, the street is too narrow then directly demolish the buildings on both sides!

It's really majestic, and it's incomparable.

This kind of car, if it is placed in the future, I am afraid that it can be comparable to the US president's Air Force One.

"I'm not a photo, I'm a photograph"

The power of this Zhang Xiangye has surpassed that of most emperors in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and I am afraid that it is only second to the two emperors of Hongwu and Yongle.

Xie Sheng Xie Tianguan's sedan chair is naturally not as domineering as Zhang Gelao, in fact, his warm frame is just carried by two people, and the specifications can be described as very small. But small is small, but it is extremely exquisite.

The two poles are not made of the most common bamboo, because the bamboo texture is soft and tough, and it is very comfortable for ordinary people to sit on the rock, but the problem is that Xie Tianguan can't stand the swaying, and he usually takes a carriage, and sometimes he has to drive as smoothly as possible, otherwise Master Xie is easy to dizzy and vomit.

If you are an ordinary person, choose a strong and tough, and not swaying, using jujube wood is a good choice. But who is Xie Tianguan? What kind of style and identity is Xie Tianguan? It is made of high-quality rosewood wood for two poles, as thick as a child's arm, heavy and strong, and is a heavy color of purple and black, which is very precious. From beginning to end, the thickness is generally fine, the score is exactly the same, and the surface is smooth and slippery, just like a layer of glaze.

A deck chair made of fine Xiangfei bamboo is placed on it, which can be sat or lying. Around and below the chair, there is a thin circle of rosewood boards, which are carved with a lot of extremely complex patterns, which are the patterns of a hundred birds and flowers, a beak, a feather, a branch and a leaf, all colorful and lifelike. The rosewood planks were surrounded by a circle of curtains made of azure brocade, which were double-layered, the inner and outer layers were brocade, but the inside was thick cotton wool.

Mr. Xie is afraid of the cold, so he can better protect against the cold and wind.

And for fear that Master Xie would be bored inside, the wooden plank on the top of the shoulder can be opened, and the outside is an outer roof made of thin bamboo strips.

Unlike the general sedan chair, which is higher than the length of the four sides, Lord Xie's shoulders are like a wooden box on top of two wooden sticks, this wooden box is long before and after, narrower on the left and right, and the height is about the same as the width.

But obviously, people don't think so, Lord Xie doesn't think so, don't say whether it's good-looking or not, it's always very comfortable.

The fine bamboo chaise longue was covered with a thick black fur, and if you look closely, you will see that it is a whole black brown bear skin! The skin is as thick as a palm, and the long hair on the surface is about an inch and a half minutes, and I don't know how to maintain it after killing, I don't know how long it has been peeled off, or soft and smooth, no matter how cold it is, it is also very warm and comfortable to the touch.

There was a bear head attached to the bear's skin, and four huge claws, including the tail, were all available, and it turned out to be a whole bear skin with all the beard and eyes. I don't know how big the bear was when it was alive, a very big deck chair couldn't be spread out at all, the bear's head was thrown directly behind the back of the deck chair, and the four legs were also drooping on both sides, and the tail was directly on the front pedal.

The two housekeepers and sedan chair men put down their shoulders, and then carefully helped Master Xie to get in.

Xie Shengcai stood outside for about a minute, but he was a little frozen and couldn't stand it, and his face was a little pale. At this moment, he shrunk his whole body into the wide and heavy bear skin, felt the warmth in it, and couldn't help but sigh comfortably.

He waved his hand, and the two palanquin bearers lifted their shoulders, rested them on their shoulders steadily, and then walked down.

These two palanquin bearers are obviously very experienced, and they are strong, burly and powerful, and can easily control this shoulder. Although they descended the steps down the mountain road, they walked very smoothly, with only slight swaying.

The two guards opened the way in front of them with their knives, and stepped on the ground under their feet by the way, reminding the two palanquiners that the ground was covered with a thin layer of ice, which was a little slippery, and told them to be careful. The other was followed by the guards, and Steward Liang followed closely beside the sedan chair and waited.

The two palanquin bearers walked very steadily, and their feet were also very fast, and Steward Liang almost had to walk fast to keep up. But even so, Xie Sheng in the sedan chair didn't feel any bumps at all.

Along the way, the servants knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and only dared to get up when their shoulders passed.

When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, the swordsmen who were waiting next to Xie Sheng's sedan chair had already become four, all of them were wearing helmets and armor, and the armor on their bodies turned out to be the best purple copper mountain armor, which was a little worse than the full-body iron armor worn by Dong Ce, but the weight was much lighter, about less than thirty catties. The weight is much lighter, and it is naturally convenient to move!

It is worthy of being a secretary of the ministry, his net worth is rich, and he is full of heritage, and it is easy to take out a few sets of mountain armor casually.

These four sword-pressed armorers are all about 1.8 meters tall, all of them are tall and strong, and they are powerful, and in this era, such height is also very rare. The four of them walked with their heads slightly bowed, their eyes looking ahead, and their knees were slightly bent. In this way, once something happens, it is immediately able to go out to deal with it, obviously not only has a lot of kung fu, but also has rich experience. Don't look at them in front of Steward Liang so submissively, looking like slaves, but they are just afraid of Xie Sheng's power. If you really take them to the rivers and lakes, it will also be a well-known hero.

In addition to the four guards with knives, there are also six family members holding whistle sticks, these six family members also have fierce faces, and the top of the whistle stick is also wrapped with a thick layer of iron, if it is knocked on the head, I am afraid that if it goes down with a stick, the brain will burst.

The guards were all looking around vigilantly, very vigilant.

I can't blame them for making a big fuss, it's really because the security in the capital of the Ming Dynasty can only be described by the word unbearable.

In the early Ming Dynasty, whether it was Emperor Hongwu or Emperor Yongle, they were all strict and cool, at that time wearing the wrong clothes, wearing the wrong hat, wearing boots, could be killed, not only the law is strict, but also the implementation is also very powerful. Moreover, at that time, all kinds of waste were waiting to be revived, and the government was clear, which could be said to be an out-and-out peaceful and prosperous era, and there were fewer vicious cases.

But by the end of the Ming Dynasty, everything was different. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, social life became extravagant, and it became the fashion of society to exceed the etiquette system, and civil society was also varied, everyone was in danger, and the treacherous and stubborn people were rampant, picking provocations and making trouble; The situation is taking a turn for the worse, and the capital is no exception. It's not that the imperial court didn't take any methods, such as at the end of Hongzhi, the general of the arrest camp was set up to arrest the chief and other officials, and he specialized in arresting theft. In the early years of Wuzong Zhengde, two commanders were added to the capital, each of whom had four officers under his jurisdiction, who were responsible for patrolling and arresting inside and outside the city. In the 10th year of Zhengde, the 6th year of Jiajing and the 20th year of Wanli, due to the many thieves in Beijing, various institutions were ineffective in managing affairs, and the management was lax, and patrol soldiers were increased successively. By Wanli, the Beijing division had one more commander, two generals in total, and 11,000 patrol soldiers, which was not a small number, but the effect was really not much.
