The late Ming Dynasty in the living room

Chapter 44 Chongzhen’s ecstasy
Old Man Fan rushed from the brick kiln to the Xincheng camp. He looked at the bell tower in front of him and was speechless for a long time.

Early in the morning, he heard that Pan appeared again and left a sacred object on the bell tower.

When he told the villagers in Shiting Village that it was God Pan who saved their crops, it was actually just to show his "insight."

After all, he didn't believe that a group of (former) refugees could be blessed by gods.

However, the facts are already before our eyes.

Look at this huge disk. It's as big as your own house. The metal inlaid on the outside is dazzling... it's most likely gold!

Has anyone ever seen a piece of gold as big as a house?

When Old Man Fan saw it for the first time, he almost fainted with excitement.

Now a group of blue dogs have come under the bell tower. They stand in two lines and stare at the crowd of onlookers.

There is nothing that can be done. Everyone in Xincheng knows that this is a sacred object, and they dare not touch it even if they are killed.

But even if those county residents didn't think wrongly, they always wanted to go up and touch it.

Old man Zhao became angry as soon as he saw it. This is a gift given to us by God Pan. You rough guys can't touch it! (Old man Zhao now looks down on the county people)

So he immediately asked the high school students to send out Lan Gouzi and asked them to "protect the sacred objects from being desecrated with their lives."

Old Man Fan didn't get too close, not because he was afraid of these blue dogs, but because his heart was filled with awe of the gods.

He saw that the disk was covered with a huge crystal, and there were three big black needles moving on their own inside.

One goes very fast, one goes a little slower, and the other goes very slowly.

When the big needle pointed at a strange symbol (8), the iron door at the cafeteria door was knocked.

"Eat, eat!"

"Eat steamed buns, rice porridge, and eggs this morning!"

Old Man Fan ate a piece of eggs in the cafeteria, then picked up two steamed buns and prepared to walk back to the brick kiln.

On the way he saw that the reservoir was filled with water. The water was crystal clear and sparkling at the moment.

This place was still a big pit yesterday, and Old Man Fan was stunned here for a while.

Filling such a large pond overnight is undoubtedly the work of Pan.

What kind of virtue did these (former) refugees accumulate in their previous lives that allowed a god to take care of them like this?
And what is the origin of Mr. Fang, whom they respect so much?
Old Man Fan suddenly felt that the certificate of commendation written for him by the county magistrate was no longer good, and he would have to ask Mr. Fang to write it next time.

If there is a next time.

Fang Yu also looked at the women's watch (only the dial) from a distance and felt a little headache.

This is an old thing that Teacher Pan threw in the drawer. It was not until yesterday that I found it and replaced the battery.

He didn't think much about it last night, but as soon as the sun shone in the morning, Fang Yu knew something was wrong: this was real rich money.

Fang Yu wanted to write a sign to tell them that this was not gold, but that was just trying to hide it.

With such a big pile of "crystal" and "gold", I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future, Fang Yu thought.

Maybe someone will come here tonight with a hammer, hoping to knock out a piece of "gold" and take it home.

At this moment, I saw Pang Tiande running over panting with a large group of officers and soldiers. They were all holding swords and guns, and some were carrying bows and arrows.

They were all heavily armed, as if they were going to fight somewhere.

Fang Yu saw that he had many people with him and asked curiously: "Brother Pang Pang, have you been promoted?"

Pang Tiande was sweating profusely as he ran. He looked at the bell tower in a daze for a while, then shook his head and said, "Master Min heard about what happened here, so he ordered some people from the Inspection Department and asked me to bring the protector... to protect him. Bell Tower.”

How long did it take for the news to get out?Min Wen Gong's speed is also ridiculously fast.

But that's a good thing.Although there is a security team here in Fang Yu, the people in the security team never use stone locks or practice swords and guns.

In the eyes of outsiders, they actually have no deterrent effect.

Fang Yu naturally planned to equip them with guns. It was already the [-]th century and they were still playing with swords, guns, bows and arrows. Did their brains get kicked by a donkey?
Fang Yu asked Pang Tiande: "Brother Pang Pang, I want to equip the security team with matchlock guns. Do you know where I can buy them?"

If others asked, Pang Tiande would definitely jump up and arrest him, but when Mr. Fang asked this, Pang Tiande breathed a sigh of relief.

OK!Mr. Fang finally thought about his own safety.

After all, he and his brother Min were very worried about Fang Yu's safety, but due to their responsibilities, they couldn't stay here all the time.

So many people have been sent here now, on the one hand to protect "gold", and on the other hand to protect Young Master Fang.

Pang Tiande said: "The craftsmen in the county can make them, and there are also some bird guns and turtle dove guns in the arsenal, but they have been kept for a long time.

If Mr. Fang is in a hurry, can I go back and talk to Mr. Min? "

Fang Yu shook his head quickly. He knew what the firearms made by the officials of the Ming Dynasty were like.

What Pang Tiande said about "it's been a while" might be 20 or 30 years old. What will happen if it's fired up and boring?
If you want to use something like a firearm with confidence, you have to make it yourself.

Fang Yu said: "We still need Brother Pang's help to invite some craftsmen over."

Pang Tiande nodded. He knew his own affairs, and he did not dare to use the county's cannons.

Beijing City.

Zhu Youjian had just held a court meeting in Huangji Hall, but except for Zhou Yanru, the chief minister, and a few nobles, no one else had arrived.

Zhu Youjian suppressed his anger and ordered the middle door to be opened wide. After a long time, courtiers came in a hurry.

As Jiannu conquered Jinzhou and Songshan, the rogue bandits defeated the Ming army outside Kaifeng.

At this time, people in Beijing had begun to spread the song: "When slaves and thieves come to the door, I will open the city and invite them in."

The collapse of the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more obvious, and now even the civil and military officials have lost confidence.

After Zhu Youjian went to court, he first hugged Queen Zhou and cried bitterly, and then... began to approve the memorial.

if not?
If others don't care about Ming Dynasty, how can he himself not care about it?
What he saw now was the memorial from Laishui County Magistrate Min Wen Gong.

The memorial was very long, and Zhu Youjian was angry at first, thinking that Min Wen Gong was trying to deceive him with "auspiciousness" again.

Then there was silence again.

Min Wenggong started from the time he prayed for rain seven times at the Chenghuang Temple, and continued to talk about what he saw and heard when he entered the private camp.

He said he saw rice as big as a millstone and bacon taller than a house.

He said that he saw the Son of God and personally prayed for rain from the Son of God.

The Son of God helped him introduce the gods, and the gods said "Okay", so there was a heavy rain in Laishui County.

This heavy rain not only saved his Laishui County, but also saved nearby Dingxing and Xincheng counties after the Juma River was filled with water.

He also said that the giant white dragon last time was a gift from the gods on the day the Son of God came to Laishui County.

Finally, Min Wenggong asked the emperor to send senior officials to Laishui County immediately. He said, "The hope of saving the Ming Dynasty is just outside Laishui City!"

After Zhu Youjian read the last word, the memorial was already wet with tears.

Zhu Youjian was trembling with excitement.

If Min Wen Gong is not crazy, then what he said is true!
"Your Majesty," eunuch Wang Zhijun reported, "Master Sun, the governor of the three sides, is here."
