The money has just been collected, and supplies are being prepared one after another.

Today, the first batch of supplies and the built French cannons are ready to be sent to the border.

Zhu Houzhao actively requested orders but failed

Naturally, someone familiar and trusted by Emperor Hongzhi was sent to his position.

Zhu Hui, the commander of the Three Thousand Battalions and the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army Governor's Office, was appointed as the commander-in-chief.

This is not the first time that Zhu Hui has been entrusted with important tasks.

A few years ago, when the Tatars invaded the border, he was sent to the border many times by Emperor Hongzhi.

He didn't make much real contribution.

But there are a lot of exaggerated credits.

Because of this, he gained a lot of military exploits and was promoted very quickly.

Earlier when Emperor Hongzhi went on patrol incognito, he was the one who followed him.

Several times at Zhao Ce's home, he was responsible for arranging guards.

It was natural to send him to lead the army again this time.

Zhu Houzhao was certainly familiar with Zhu Hui.

It was also because of familiarity that he was unwilling to accept it.

"What kind of battles will Duke Baoguo fight?"

"Father is really old and confused..."

Many people along the way also looked at the court's luggage curiously.

The news of the war has not yet spread, but many people have received the news.

After the first batch of baggage is delivered, the rest will be sent to the frontier one after another.

Zhu Houzhao stood high on the city tower and watched the trains of baggage leaving the capital.

As the luggage left Beijing, the crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed.

Zhu Houzhao also went down the tower in a rather unhappy mood.

He was so dedicated to the issuance of national bonds and made such a great contribution.

In the end, even a small amount of credit is not allowed to oneself.

Zhu Houzhao walked gloomily on the street.

Sudden.

There was a commotion ahead.

Zhu Houzhao looked up.

A man panicked and bumped into another man walking on the road, and quickly ran away without seeing him apologize.

There was a man behind him who was also shouting in a panic: "I stole the bride!"

"The man is being robbed, everyone, run away!"

"Oh, I already have a wife at home, so I really can't get married anymore..."

There was a flurry of excitement.

Zhu Houzhao stopped without knowing why.

Then I saw a lot of people in front of me. Men, women, old and young all came out to grab people on the street.

And this is robbing people, not robbing women!

And steal men!

Some of the men on the street hurriedly hid.

Some people rushed past in a panic.

There is more than one family snatching the bride.

Young talents walking around on the street will be stared at.

Zhu Houzhao looked at it dumbfounded, and then he saw the nearest person who was trying to steal the bride, grabbing a man in a long robe.

Although it is said that someone is robbing someone, the person who is robbing the bride does speak earnestly and rationally while robbing someone.

"The Qing Palace wants to choose a concubine."

"My little daughter has been favored since she was a child. I really don't want her to enter the palace and never see her again..."

"My little girl is beautiful, virtuous and knows how to run a household."

"As long as anyone can marry my little girl, I am willing to pay a large dowry!"

People who steal relatives do it for their own daughters.

The reason is not to enter the palace and become the prince's concubine.

Zhu Houzhao listened to what these people said with a complicated expression.

Unexpectedly, so many people were unwilling to send their daughters to the palace.

They said that choosing a concubine was like a scourge.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned when two servants pointed ahead and shouted: "Sir, that man in front of you is not bad."

The old man followed the sound and looked over, and immediately said with great joy: "Great kindness!"

"Take him back and marry him to the eldest lady!"

He looked at this group of people walking toward him in a hurry.

Only then did Zhu Houzhao realize that the two servants were talking about him.

Zhu Houzhao was a little embarrassed and subconsciously left quickly.

Halfway through, I saw my teammates who were suffering from the same problem.

A small official in green robe, still wearing official uniform, followed only by a book boy.

A family was pulling him and kept talking about the situation at home.

"This gentleman looks young. I wonder if he is married?"

The official looked embarrassed and blushed, not knowing how to answer.

Zhu Houzhao twitched the corners of his mouth in depression.

Is it so terrible to be his concubine?

But after thinking about it carefully, I suddenly felt a little happy.

Such a big movement?

What a good thing!

He happily took his attendants with him and left the street without any danger.

"It seems good to make a fuss..."

…

What happened on the street was so chaotic.

As long as a good-looking man is there, there is basically a risk of being caught.

Zhao Ce went to see the completion progress of the scientific research institute today, and then planned to go home directly to fish.

Sitting in his own carriage, the carriage passed through the street.

The streets are bustling with people.

Along the way.

Xu Fang relied on his superb driving skills to avoid or scold several families.

Driving slowly among waves of people rushing to get married.

But after walking for a while, the person in front of me blocked my way again.

The carriage came to a sudden stop, and Xu Fang's scolding came from outside.

"Do you want to die? Suddenly you came out to stop our carriage?"

The person who stopped the car was also startled, but quickly informed him.

"Sir, the driver of the car is dressed like a book boy. He looks young, so the people inside must be young people too!"

"real?"

The people in front of the carriage looked at Xu Fang who was driving the carriage, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

He looks pretty good and looks young.
