How can there be any quiet time?

After the awarding ceremony, the team responsible for showing the movie yesterday put on their training uniforms, gathered together, loaded the equipment onto the modified cart, and rushed to Andingmen.

The root of the south city wall.

A film screening team set up a cordon to control the safety distance between themselves and others, as well as the film equipment.

The people coming and going in this area were observing curiously.

"Where is this military household? It looks really strong, huh?"

"Isn't it written on your arm, Ming Royal Army?"

"You are literate and we are not, Royal Army? Which battalion of His Majesty's soldiers is this?

I’ve never heard of it before, it’s dressed in a weird way, and I don’t know if it can be beaten.”

Several soldiers who were playing with the machinery were speechless for a while while listening to the comments made by the onlookers about their training uniforms.

Training clothes will get dirty during normal training, and if washed too much, they will become old and worn. Naturally, they will not look as handsome as formal clothes.

"Dear fellow citizens, today, His Majesty asked us to screen a movie here to show you the Heroic Record of Lu Xiangsheng, the great general who protected the country in the Ming Dynasty.

Anyone who has heard about Governor Lu’s deeds recently, or those who haven’t, can come and take a look.”

As the projector projected a light curtain onto the screen, the projector company's logo appeared on the screen that was blocked from the sun.

Then the LOGO turned into a group of changing screensavers. The content of the screensavers was yesterday's conferment ceremony, which caused a burst of exclamation from the people watching.

"What is this, and how can it still shine? There are paintings of people on it."

"Hey, that's Your Majesty! I saw it last time when the imperial guards gathered outside the city."

"Isn't this iron box the same as the flashlight from some royal company?

It’s so big and can be lit even during the day, so it’s expensive, right? And there’s also this cloth, which can create a picture when it’s illuminated by the flashlight.”

"Hey, this thing is really magical. The emperor in the palace will enjoy it, huh? There are these rare things."

"Isn't this some kind of evil spell?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Are you trying to kill yourself?"

"Folks! Listen to me!..."

Listening to the commotion of the crowd, several projectionists used loudspeakers to shout loudly, silencing everyone's comments.

Then they began to briefly explain that although the people watching did not understand what a projector was, they knew that the projector could tell stories and project things that people had done on the wall.

When people who couldn't see heard the shouting inside, they stood on tiptoes to watch, or moved things to cushion them, as long as the curtain was high.

More and more people gathered. It was already afternoon, which was the end of a busy day. In addition, due to Chongzhen's special edict, the night curfew in the capital was changed to 3:30 pm in the evening.

There is still plenty of time, so people nearby will naturally go home in no hurry.

By the time the movie was officially screened, eighty movie screening points throughout the capital were surrounded by people in various houses, markets, flat dams, at the base of city walls, in various government offices, and the Imperial College.

The people of the Ming Dynasty, who had never seen a movie screened before, rushed out of their homes to join in the fun. All the soldiers and horses from the five cities and the Jinyi Guards were dispatched to stabilize the scene.

In Lifang, Xicheng, Wang Daozhi bought his residence in the capital here.

Listening to the lively scene outside, he walked out of the room out of curiosity and found people talking.

He was confused by hearing about a big box that could shine, a white cloth with a very lifelike portrait when illuminated, or some magical spells.

However, he heard someone talking about His Majesty's portrait, so he quickly adjusted his clothes and followed them.

Following the flow of people to the market, I found that the entire market was already crowded with people, and the roofs everywhere were covered with people. Wang Dao frowned at the sight.

"That's all, if you can't see it, you can't see it."

Wang Daozhi rolled up his sleeves and decided to go back and continue studying his relationship with Fan Fucui.

Recently, he has been observing the little moves between Fan Fucui and Chongzhen. Whenever someone does something bad and contradicts Chongzhen, the Jin Yiwei will impeach him.

At this time, Fan Fucui will come forward and say that whoever did not do well should be evaluated and returned to his hometown. He is not like before, He Xini.

In other words, not only Fan Fucui, but also several members of the cabinet are like this, except Chen Yan, who has not been in court for a long time and has not been heard from for a long time.

"Wang Yushi?"

"This general called me? Hey, it's you."

Wang Daozhi heard a shout, turned around and saw that it was the Jin Yiwei who led him in the Royal Merchant that day, and was in charge of order in the vegetable market at this time.

Meeting acquaintances makes it easier to get things done. Jin Yiwei Baihu took a wooden stick and beat the people who blocked him along the way, and escorted Wang Daozhi in.

As the security officer tonight, he can decide who is not allowed to watch, so the people present dare not speak out and can only stay away silently.

After Wang Daozhi arrived, he looked at the picture on the curtain and became distracted for a while.

Starting at 12:00, the movie was officially played. The short play, which lasted just over 40 minutes, had everyone excited and talking at the beginning, to solemn expressions at the end.

Watching it over and over again, the Jin Yiwei kept beating the people at the front to make them leave, so that those who couldn't see had a chance to see.

In this case, after showing the movie four times, less than half of the people had finished watching the movie.

At this moment, the entire capital was filled with a sad atmosphere, just like the mood people felt when they walked out of a movie theater after watching Changjin Lake.

The Ming Dynasty has never publicized a person and a war so loudly.

A civil servant died on the battlefield. People who have heard of the book are just excited when they tell it, but they can do what they should do. After all, they have no intuitive impression.

A storyteller has said it a thousand times, but it is not as good as showing it once in a movie. The cruelty of the slaves jumps from the page to the screen, and then rushes into the heart.

Zhili suffered abuses caused by the slave establishment, and the people who fled to Zhili because of the slave establishment hid their faces and cried.

People who have not been harmed by slaves also have worries in their hearts. After the nest is overturned, will the eggs be intact?

In the Imperial College North Prison, a group of students also watched in silence.

These students include students from all over the north, as well as hundreds of students from various provinces who have recently come to Beijing.

Groups that are mostly young people are even more indignant.

"Look, gentlemen, this is the model of civil servants in our Ming Dynasty. Is there anyone among you who can be like Lu Ge?"

"I really hope to see His Majesty remove Governor Lu from his post."

"Chen Fang! What are you talking about?"

"I mean, this way Governor Lu is at least still alive and can go home to observe his filial piety."

Everyone watched the Emperor in the Rain freeze at the end of the film, and there was no further argument.

Of course, this is the thought of ordinary people, young students of flesh and blood, and the southern gentry.

Some northern merchants in the city, as well as some big northern families, were dismissive.

Qiao Er and Cheng Guogong also finished watching the movie. They sent people to expel the nearby people and gave them money to keep them away.

In this way, they have an open space of more than ten square meters. The Jinyiwei's duty is to be responsible for order, to prevent people from colliding with the movie screening, and to protect the equipment, so their money-making ability is not concerned.

At this moment, the two of them were sitting directly opposite the curtain, eating fruit and giving directions to the ending song.

"Pfft, let me tell you, the real situation cannot be like this. I know your Majesty very well. He has never been like this in these years."

"That's right, Mr. Cheng, it's impossible for slaves to be like this. When we do business with them, when are we not generous and generous?"

"It can only be said to be a half-truth. Rich people will also come to build slaves, but as long as they take care of themselves, they won't go too far. They all want to make a living for each other.

On the other hand, if they hadn't stopped Jian Nu, these mud-legged people, how could Jian Nu have killed so many people and implicated the big family?

If he wants to rob you, let him rob you. What's the matter? If you are robbed, you won't be able to survive. Isn't it better to follow the slave establishment than in the Ming Dynasty? They will take care of food and housing, and they won't collect agricultural taxes from the Han people."

Duke Cheng Guo spat and said.

Qiao Er on the side nodded in agreement, but it just didn't feel right when I thought about it.

It is true that the Han people did not have to pay taxes when they were slaves.

The land and harvests did not belong to the Han slaves. They were raised by the slave masters. Why should they pay for it?

"But His Majesty is also very clever in his skills. I can already imagine that if anyone proposes peace now, he will be punished by everyone."

Hearing Duke Cheng Guo's sigh, Qiao Er thought for a moment and suddenly whispered into Duke Cheng Guo's ear.

"Isn't that better? Duke Cheng, as long as we keep fighting, the court will continue to need ordnance, and the slaves will need it more. As long as they need it, can we still earn less?"

"That's right, that's right, hahaha! Jiannu deserves to be killed! He deserves to be killed!"

The crowd in the distance and the Jin Yiwei nearby were still sighing slightly as they listened to Duke Cheng's words. Governor Lu even admired Duke Cheng.

After all, there are only a few people with this kind of thinking like Qiao Er, and the entire capital's hatred of Jiannu has reached a new level.

In the past, they thought that defeat was just a matter of losing a few people, and the capital would still be the capital.

Each defeat was nothing more than sending urgent messages one after another about how to eat and drink in Beijing.

But after watching the movie, many people shared the feeling that they were able to do well because there were countless people who resisted Jiannu one after another.

It's like a saying in a movie.

"There are no quiet years, but there are people carrying the burden for you."

So much so that when people went home after the show, they were discussing the plot, so that more people who had not been interested in it could understand the whole story.

The officials in the capital also felt that the situation was out of control, but they wanted to do something, but found that they were completely powerless and couldn't intervene at all.

Thinking about it again, Chongzhen would not go to court the next day, which made him even more desperate.

On the other side, outside the army barracks, next to the city wall.

Jinyiwei Qianhu Residence and the Royal Army jointly guarded a courtyard against the wall.

This is the Gunpowder Department that was established almost at the same time as the Army Barracks. The current gunpowder workshop is hundreds of meters long and wide, and is heavily guarded.

At this moment, the vigilance here is even higher. The Han generals, Jin Yiwei, Dongchang, and the Royal Army are spreading their vigilance everywhere.

Chongzhen was in the yard of the gunpowder workshop, staring blankly at the liquefied gas tanks that had just been taken out. These tanks were the same size as ordinary catering liquefied gas tanks.

The liquefied gas tank looks harmless to humans and animals, but Chen Ye said that its power is basically the same as a bomb.
