Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 98 Cut the braids, we are me [fifth more]

Deng Yu's army of [-] came very quickly.

But Emperor Xianfeng ran faster.

When Deng Yu arrived at the foot of Peiping City, he immediately got a report from the spies that Emperor Xianfeng was about to run out of Shuntian Prefecture.

Deng Yu: "...!"

Peiping was originally a high and deep city, and when officials and gentry in the city heard that Zhu Hongwu was coming over, defending the city was also more determined than one.

However, Deng Yu finally fired a few shots in a demonstrative manner and chose to give up the idea of ​​penetrating Peiping City.

But since he came here, he couldn't come in vain.

The Old Summer Palace outside Beijing became his target.

This royal garden built by the Manchu royal family was directly raided by Deng Yu as the military capital for this northward march.

Then he took the army, pulled the treasures one after another, and swaggered away under the watchful eyes of many gentry and officials on the head of Peiping City, holding the sun and moon battle flag of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Chang Yuchun's navy also showed off its might in the Bohai Bay.

Every once in a while, two cannons were fired to hear the sound, which frightened the Qing army on the shore.

"Have you heard?"

"The hypocrites entrenched in Guangdong have defeated the British Armada!"

A teahouse in Tianjin city.

Several young people are having a party.

"How could my generation not know about such a big event!"

"And it's more than defeat, it's annihilation, annihilation!"

"Really relieved!"

"How many years have the British bullied us, and they have become more and more arrogant in the past two years. I didn't expect someone to finally clean them up!"

"Alas... it's a pity that it's not the imperial fleet!" Someone sighed.

"Everyone, I think it's better if it's not the imperial fleet!"

Suddenly a young man said in a deep voice: "Do you really want to carry this thing for the rest of your life?"

The young man pointed to the braids on his back as he spoke.

"Zi Yu, be careful!"

"This place is not the place to say that!" Someone immediately reminded.

"What is there to say!"

"I'm afraid you have forgotten, who is in the hands of Tianjin now!"

"This is now the site of the Ming Dynasty!"

The young man named Ziyu suddenly stood up with a smile, grabbed his braid, took out a knife from his body, and cut the braid in the middle.

Everyone around was in shock.

Keep your hair but not your hair, and keep your hair but not your hair. After 200 years of strict enforcement, this law has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Zi Yu, you are crazy!"

"Those people don't stay here for long. They are going to return to Guangdong in two days. Do you want to go with them?"

A young man grabbed his sleeve and said anxiously, "Hurry up and hide in there while no one is seeing it now, and I'll have someone buy you a fake braid to wear."

"Brother Daolin, Ziyu thanked you for your kindness here, but I won't need that thing in my life. I have no relatives and no reason, and I'm going south to Guangdong today!"

"Brothers, the future will be indefinite."

"I know that your family has a big business and it is impossible to go south, so I hope not to see you again in the future!"

"Goodbye...maybe we are the enemy!"

After Yu Ziyu finished speaking, he walked out of the teahouse with his hair disheveled.

"During the five thousand years of China, my generation has been human since then...!"

As he sang, he strode away.

For some reason, he hesitated before and had trouble sleeping and eating, but now that he finally made up his mind, he immediately got up a little impatiently.

He wants to go to Guangdong, to see what the place where the Han people are not slaves is like, to see how mighty the troops that can wipe out the British navy are.

He wants to dedicate his heart and soul to that piece of land.

Everyone behind them looked at Yu Ziyu, who was like a madman, and a trace of envy flashed on their faces.

However, as Yu Ziyu said, each of them has a great career, and it is impossible to do whatever they want.

Walk all the way, all the way to be watched.

Yu Ziyu didn't care at all, he walked all the way to the gate of Tianjin, and the first thing he saw was a young general in red armor
"General, can you take me to Guangzhou, I am willing to join the army." Yu Ziyu said.

Mu Ying saw such a disheveled young man from a distance.

He knew very well that if he didn't take him for a ride, the young man would probably be taken for credit if he couldn't make it to Guangdong.

Of course, for the first compatriot who dared to cut off his braids, he would not watch him suffer an accident.

Zhu Yuanzhang had long taught him about the power of public opinion.

It took them several months to show off their power under the city of Peiping, isn't it just to stir up public opinion in the whole of China?

If everyone, like this young man, dared to cut off the braids on their heads, then Tartars, the Qing Dynasty, would not have to fight at all, and they would fall apart.

"can!"

Mu Ying nodded and said with a smile: "You came at the right time, and we will be leaving soon. If you come a little later, you won't be able to see me!"

After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the crowd behind him.

"Is there anyone else who wants to be the same as this little brother!"

"We are about to set sail for the south, this is your last chance!" Mu Ying said.

After all, no one else stood up.

However, Mu Ying saw expectations, changes, and light in the eyes of these people.

This is the light of hope.

"It doesn't matter!"

Mu Ying smiled and looked at the growing crowd in front of her: "We will come back, Daming will come back, it won't be too long, the day you all cut your braids!"

"Long live!"

Looking at the back of Mu Ying leaving with Yu Ziyu, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly.

"Long live, long live...!"

The sound became louder and louder, gradually deafening.

Mu Ying listened to this shout and thought that this might be the public opinion that His Majesty often told her!

The public opinion belonging to Daming is accumulating rapidly, and this is the advantage of Daming when it conquers the world again in the future.

Watching the fake fleet gradually move away from the Bohai Bay, Li Hongzhang breathed a long sigh of relief.

"These plague gods are finally gone!"

He muttered to himself, but soon he was scowling again.

To be honest, he wanted to hurry back to Beijing to report everything that happened in Guangdong, and if he wanted to, he could indeed go before the navy led by Chang Yuchun.

But when he came to Tianjin, he suddenly did not dare to leave.

He knew very well that if he returned to Peiping, no matter what happened, he would probably die.

So he didn't dare to go back.

"But if you don't go back, where can you go?"

Li Hongzhang frowned tightly.

In fact, he knew in his heart that now, except for his teacher Zeng Guofan, he would be a dead end wherever he went.

"It seems that this time I will really become the teacher's lackey!" Li Hongzhang muttered to himself with a wry smile.
