Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 674

Since the time has been dragged to the time of application, it is too late to prepare for the city entry ceremony today, so Wang Shangwen and Wang Zongrong decided to hold the city entry ceremony tomorrow morning after asking for instructions.

In other words, the army will be stationed outside the city tonight.However, Gao pragmatically explained that in the city, Lu Youren, a native of Siming Prefecture who had made great contributions, was in charge of security and various preparations, and Wang Shangwen sent people to assist.Of course, it is better to say command than assist.

The first night of coolness passed, and before Chen Shi, Mingjiang City became lively.

As usual, the south gate opened on time at Maoshi.However, because the entering ceremony was going to be held today, traders outside the city were required to enter the city ahead of time, but everyone was gathered together to become part of the entering ceremony, and the usual fair market was temporarily cancelled.

In this regard, the businessmen who came from afar complained, but there was nothing they could do.After all, compared with the various Tusi masters and Tumu masters in southern Guangxi, they are completely humble existences like ants, and their little business is even less worth mentioning compared to the ceremony that is said to be required by the patrol masters. up.

On the city wall, the soldiers of Guilin Guard in bright armor held their heads high and straight like javelins—these were carefully selected by Wang Zongrong from among his own servants, but they only bear the name of Guilin Guard in name.

On the streets of the city, the crowd of spectators was already three floors in and three floors out. In fact, it was hard to say that they were watching the excitement. Many people were actually forced by Lu Youren and other Tume to come to "support".

The patrolling Simingzhou wolf soldiers patrolled back and forth one after another, and the wolf soldiers responsible for maintaining order in the spot were even busier and sweating profusely.

The ground has already been cleaned, and the Main Street, which is the main street for walking, and the small square in front of the state government office have been cleaned overnight.

The viewing platform has also been set up, and it is located at the end of the main street, near the small square at the front gate of the Government Office.The thick wooden beams and pillars are tightly combined with rough tenons, and the outside is wrapped with dense ropes, which is absolutely strong and strong.In addition to a long "rostrum" style table and chairs on the stage, there is also a sunshade made of thick cloth.

As soon as Chen Shi arrived, the army and wolf soldiers outside the city began to gather.Teams of high-spirited officers and Siming Mansion wolf soldiers, led by Siming Prefecture wolf soldiers, entered the waiting area outside the city gate with a white line drawn with lime.

But at this time they hadn't raised their own flags yet, people could only look at the densely packed team and guess who was who, maybe only the wolf soldiers led by Huang Zhiting and Cen Ling were the most recognizable.After all, the officers and soldiers all wore the same mandarin duck battle robes. At first glance, it looked like a sea of ​​red. Who knows which troops came from?

The people of Mingjiang City have complicated attitudes towards the troops outside the city. They do not reject the wolf soldiers led by Huang Zhiting to come to Mingjiang City. After all, Mingjiang City has been surnamed Huang for hundreds of years. As the eldest daughter of the main family, Huang Zhiting represents Huang's chieftain To quell civil strife, no one dares to say wrong.

But towards the officers and soldiers, the attitude of the people of Mingjiang City is much more complicated. They also know that this is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but after hundreds of years of chieftain rule, they have an unexplainable vigilance against the officers and soldiers, and even reject them.It's just that the chieftain of Huang's clan invited him to put down the rebellion, not to mention the fact that the army is powerful, which is a bit...

However, these local people don't understand the affairs between the imperial court and the chieftains.After all, the chieftains are sometimes as loyal as watchdogs to the imperial court, and sometimes they say the opposite.

The chieftains are even more complicated. Yesterday they were friends of the same clan, and today they may turn against each other; We don't care about this, and we can't care about it.

For today's entry into the city, the natives just watched the fun. After all, their daily life is as dull as the water of the bright river, and it is also a talking point to see something new.

At the moment of the hour, the wolf soldiers of the Huang family of Siming Mansion began to enter the city. These wolf soldiers of the mansion entered Mingjiang City first with their chests and belly fully armed. Thin, but this thin is not thin, but lean.As described by a marshal of the Hong Dynasty in later generations: the monkeys in Guangxi belong to the Gui army, fierce as tigers and vicious as wolves.

In particular, this group of people had a chance to rob yesterday, but Huang Gongsheng was actually killed by his subordinates, and they lost a chance to make a fortune. Right now, everyone is unhappy, and their eyes are really hungry. Like a wolf.

Huang Zhiting wore a special padded armor that was a little too small, and sat on the horse under the guard of the wolf soldiers. She entered the city with a blank expression on her face.Lu Youren saw her entering the city from a distance, and shouted at the crowd: "Tongtong kneel down, see the eldest lady!"

In fact, Lu Youren only judged from the "man on horseback" that it was Huang Zhiting.Because Huang Zhiting is wearing armor at the moment, and you can’t see men and women from a distance—unlike some film and television dramas, the armor these days is completely male—well, there is a problem with this sentence itself, in fact, it should be said, There was no such thing as women's armor in Daming.

Although the armor on Huang Zhiting's body can be seen to be specially made according to her body shape, it is only the size that fits, there is no difference in style at all, after all, women lead soldiers these days only the chieftains from the Southwest, all added together How many more can there be?It would be superfluous to develop armor specifically for women.

Both sides of the main street were full of native villagers kneeling, but Huang Zhiting didn't even look at them. Instead, she looked sad and passed by with a cold face without saying a word.

At two o'clock in the morning, one after another, ox carts and mule carts, dragging various general cannons, tiger squatting cannons and other artillery, drove into the Yamen Square in Mingjiang Chengzhou one after another.

Just as the natives stood up, they knelt down unconsciously—this was the heavenly weapon that frightened them into surrendering without a fight.This kind of thing is only available in the Ming army, and no matter how powerful the chieftains are, they have never caught these good things. I heard that yesterday afternoon, if Master Lu hadn’t seen the opportunity quickly, he would have killed Ergong... killed Huang Gongsheng, and now Mingjiang City will be razed to the ground by these cannons!

This is the time to kneel, kneeling "generals" did not show their power yesterday.

Next, a large number of officers and soldiers wearing mandarin duck battle robes entered the city. These officers and soldiers did not look very mighty, tall and short, fat and thin, old and young, but at the moment they were quite imposing , all of them held their heads high and proudly, as if they were proud soldiers of the imperial court, especially when they were wearing uniform mandarin duck battle robes, which at first glance seemed a bit pretentious.

Next came the main event. The natives watched as a group of knights all dressed in brown bunts, armor and riding tall horses appeared.These knights all carried the same beautiful blunderbuss on their backs, a water-filled goose feather knife hanging from their waists, and some knights also had Zhemu bows and two bags of quiver hanging beside their horses' buttocks.

In particular, these knights are all burly, and they are far from the image of local guard soldiers and wolf soldiers in Guangxi.

In terms of appearance alone, this group of knights must be the most eye-catching today.

There is no doubt that these people are the family guards brought by Gao Yushi from the north. They are not real cavalry, but "mounted infantry". They were selected from thousands of family guards at that time. They are burly and good looking That's perfectly normal.

When Lu Youren saw this team, he had been told by Wang Zongrong no less than ten times, and he immediately yelled: "This is the Guangxi patrol censor Gaogong! Everyone knelt down and kowtowed! I didn't say stop, who Don't stop!"

Everyone knelt down again, even Lu Youren himself and the wolf soldiers beside him knelt down together.

Wang Shangwen and Wang Zongrong, who rode on horseback and walked slightly behind Gao Yushi, glanced at him with satisfaction, and said with a smile to Gao Yushi: "It's all due to the power of the court! "

Gao Wushi smiled, and said: "Tang Taizong said: 'Yidi, like beasts, are fearful of power but not virtuous. In other words, in addition to demonstrating the court's might, we also want to let them know the benevolence of the court, and a two-pronged approach is the only way to last."

Wang Shangwen didn't care about it in his heart, but he agreed on his face, nodded hurriedly and said: "It's true, it's true."
