296 Entering the city to arrest people
"After finishing the work in Yangzhou early, you can move westward to quell the rebellion earlier!" Zhang Mingwei said, and asked his personal guard to transfer a document to Zhang Huangyan and continued to explain, "This is the content of this new salt administration policy. You can take a look first, and I will explain the details to you later!"
After Zhang Huangyan came to his senses, he hurried to check out the next one, feeling very anxious about being urged.
Zhang Mingwei then turned to look at Princess Kunxing and asked, "How are you doing with the things you arranged on the road?"
"I just practiced it in the cabin. I'm really worried about the effect!" Zhu Mian replied with a little concern.
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei smiled indifferently and said, "It's almost done. If you can express the meaning you want to express, then it's almost done!"
"But... this is going to go to the public camp. The first time I did this. If I didn't do it well, would it be..." Zhu Meiyu obviously wanted to be more perfect, so she was still a little worried, "If I give me three or five days to practice, I believe I'm more sure!"
Zhang Mingwei felt what she meant, looked up at the sky, and said to her: "Then let's go tomorrow afternoon, hurry up and practice in the military camp!"
After winning some time, Zhu Masu did not force her anymore and quickly said, "Then I will urge them now!"
"Haha, go!" Zhang Mingwei said with a smile.
After Zhu Mai quickly left the central military tent, he turned to Zhang Huangyan, asked him about his understanding of the new policy, and explained the relevant measures.
………………………………………
At the Yangzhou city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate were all at the entrance of the city gate, leaning against the wall, watching chatting in the distance.
"I am worthy of being an elite in the court. Look, it's not messy at all when doing things, and it feels very comfortable to watch."
"The speed is also fast. In just a short while, after seeing that there was no such thing, the camp was already established."
"Actually, I'll tell you that this elite force in the court is composed of the elite force selected by the Yongwei camp, Guanning army and the bandits, and it must be powerful."
"Speaking of this, I was really worried before. I thought that the army will do whatever it takes, but I didn't expect, haha, how did it sing?"
"It seems that all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty must remember it and not take it..."
"It would be great if this army didn't leave, then no thief would dare to come to the Yangzhou interface."
“…”
They were chatting, and some idle people were watching the army camping on the official road outside the city. They rarely saw this. They also talked about similar words to the gatekeepers while watching.
I don’t know when, when they were chatting, someone suddenly screamed: “Look, it seems that someone came out of the military camp and came to the city!”
Hearing this voice, those who were watching each other talked turned to look towards the military camp outside the city.
Sure enough, I saw a team of cavalry leaving the camp, and the direction was Yangzhou City.
"Flying Fish Clothing, that's the Jinyiwei!" Someone recognized it immediately and shouted in surprise, "There are many Jinyiwei coming out, what are you doing?"
Speaking of which, the Jinyiwei still appears in the south, and generally speaking, the most common in the capital.
However, the legend of the Jinyiwei in the nearly three hundred years of history in the Ming Dynasty is known to everyone.
After knowing that it was the Jinyiwei, everyone stared at the famous Jinyiwei curiously.
But soon, they realized something was wrong.
If it were to send some Jinyiwei to Yangzhou City to do business, it would be nothing. However, if you want to do business, you can get so many Jinyiwei, as far as they see, there would be at least one hundred horses. Even if the Jinyiwei was dispatched in the capital, it would be very rare to have such a scale.
When they were surprised, someone suddenly exclaimed again. He saw a man pointing his finger at the military camp and saying, "No, there is an army behind the Jinyiwei, and he also drove out."
"Yes, is it possible that this army is going to enter the city? What is this going to do?"
"Didn't it mean... it's not that the imperial army led by the Duke does not disturb the people? What are they going to the city?"
“…”
As they spoke, these people suddenly became a little panicked.
The one who reacted quickly immediately ran to the city. The one who reacted slowly was still stunned and stared at the army.
The soldiers guarding the gate were also panicked, what should I do?
Hurry up and close the city gate? But the leader is the Jinyiwei, who is the emperor's personal army and represents the imperial power. Who dares to turn the Jinyiwei off?
But if the city gates were not closed, it would be difficult for Yangzhou City to come in a fierce manner?
What to do, what to do?
When they were panic, they saw the crowd watching the fun start to run away, and they didn't care and ran away quickly.
For a moment, the city gate suddenly became a mess.
At this time, the Jinyiwei was about to ride to the city gate. Seeing this chaos, he shouted loudly: "The Jinyiwei will do the job, and all the idle people will avoid it!"
Hearing this shout, the crowds of people running around like headless flies quickly flashed to both sides and made way for the city gate.
The Jinyiwei Knights didn't care about them and immediately rode their horses into Yangzhou City.
All of the people watching were hiding at the corner of the official road, and even those who had gone down the official road, their faces turned blue, and they watched the Jinyiwei Knights enter the city quickly in front of them.
Then, the sound of running, the sound of armor, and the collision of weapons, and groups of imperial officials ran by in front of them.
And in the city, those who had reacted quickly before were running into the city and shouting loudly in panic: "No, the government army has entered the city, no, the government army has entered the city..."
Hearing this, people in the shops on both sides of the street and pedestrians on the road went to see the situation in surprise.
Sure enough, when they saw the Jinyiwei knights driving horses into the city in groups, the sound of horse hooves was finalized and they were panicked.
Many people were stupid, and more people hurriedly hid.
Nowadays, there have been many rumors about the government army. It is better to hide first than not avoid disaster.
Many people feel that a storm is coming in Yangzhou City!
Especially when they saw that in addition to a large number of Jinyiwei knights, there were also troops entering the city, they were even more panicked.
……………………
The officials and gentry who welcomed Duke Xingguo, at this time, had already returned to their respective places.
Just talking about Kong Daewoo, he also returned to his mansion.
The butler greeted him at the door and asked in surprise: "Didn't you go to greet Duke Xingguo? Why did you come back so soon?"
"What dust should I wash away? I don't care about being a dignified prince!" Kong Dayu heard this and sneered, "In front of so many people, I don't give the Lord of the Mansion and the Lord of Fortune at all. This airs are really not too big!"
Hearing this, his housekeeper was surprised again and quickly asked for instructions: "Will you still give the prepared gift?"
After hearing this, Kong Dayu took out a gift list from his sleeve. Originally, this gift list was to be presented to Duke Xingguo at a welcome banquet. If he could curry favor with Duke Xingguo, it would be the best.
But Duke Xingguo didn't want to welcome him at all, so he naturally couldn't give out this gift list.
After looking at the gift list in his hand, Kong Dayu suddenly used both hands to tear the gift list directly, then threw it away, and sneered, "I'm the first time I meet you for free. No matter what, if you love a noble person, you'll be honest, I'm a vulgar person, and I won't be flattered by those who can't pee a pot. Let the people in the Liyuan quickly prepare the song I love most. If you sing well, I'll be happy, and the master will reward these gifts!"
When he heard that he was going to spend a lot of money again, the housekeeper really hated that he was not a part of the pear garden. He quickly agreed and hurriedly went.
The gifts prepared for Duke Xingguo are indeed expensive, but in his opinion, Kong Dayu is actually just that. Because in his eyes, money is just a number, and it is just for fun, that's it.
After a while, Kong Dayu took his dozen or so concubines and sat in front of his own stage, eating fruit and snacks, watching the actors he raised perform hard. After the performance was done, he picked up one from the pile of gifts and threw it onto the stage, winning all those who were acting to snatch them, and even those who played the sing and snatched them up and snatched them.
After all, these things that are not worth mentioning in front of the master are a great fortune for them!
Seeing this, Kong Dayu often burst into laughter.
However, the good times did not last long. He had just thrown out two gifts when he heard a noise outside.
It seemed like there was a sound of smashing the door, then there were screams, screams, etc., and the chaotic footsteps, which seemed to have entered the thief, which affected the audience.
Suddenly, Kong Dayu was furious and shouted angrily: "What's going on? What's going on outside? Do you think that Master, I'm not in the mansion, and Sun Houzi started to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace?"
"Journey to the West" was naturally widely spread at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not surprising that he said this.
Just as he finished speaking, a group of people broke into the gate of the courtyard. The leader sneered and said, "You are the monkey who dares to break the law and taboo!"
"Who dared?" Kong Dayu immediately turned his head angrily when he heard this. Then, his follow-up words were stuck as if they were strangled by a ghost, and they didn't say it again.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is not afraid of heaven or earth in Yangzhou. However, at this time, the one in front of him was a group of people wearing flying fish suits. He at least recognized this, and that was the Jinyiwei, whom he could not only admit defeat.
The face changed so quickly was Kong Dayu. A smile appeared on his face immediately and he quickly said, "Sir, I wonder what the villain has made? Could it be that he went to the wrong door?"
When I went to welcome Duke Xingguo, there was no sign. To be honest, he really doubted whether it was the Jinyiwei who found the wrong person?
