Daming: the Bear Child of the Yongle Family

Everyone's heart suddenly beat very fast. They grasped the news, and they grasped Zhu Di's movements. If they could preemptively capture Zhu Xi, wouldn't they be equivalent to controlling Daming as well.

Someone swallowed his saliva and said, "The secret letter is true or false. If the news is wrong, wouldn't we be happy for nothing.  …"

Everyone looked at each other, no one knew who wrote the secret letter, but Mahamu's former subordinate stood up and said hesitantly.

"I used to be loyal to Mahamu, and he was very important, so I also mentioned a thing or two to me. I only know that this person is in the Ming Dynasty. The specific identity is unknown. Since the Mahamu period, he has been closely related to the grasslands. From time to time, they secretly sell some strictly prohibited items such as iron and steel salt harnesses to the grasslands.”.

Chapter 312

"Listening to what you said, you should have contacted many times, and you still don't know his true identity."

Ya Li Bo'er frowned, but felt that the person behind the scenes was really hidden. She originally wanted to contact to obtain specific information, but now it seems unlikely.

"There's no way. Most of the time, it's him who has a one-way contact with us. Since Mahamu's demise, this person has disappeared and there is no news. I didn't expect him to reappear."

Looking at the secret letter in her hand, Yali Bo'er's eyebrows were full of deepness, "Do you think this news is reliable, could it be a smoke bomb released by the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di stayed in the capital, how could he run to the border gate? here."

Those who had been loyal to Mahamu before also knew about the existence of the mysterious man. He shook his head and said:

"His sources have always been very reliable, and he has revealed a lot of useful information to us before, but I didn't expect that he could even grasp Zhu Di's whereabouts."

Yali Bo'er lowered her eyes, her expression changed unpredictably, "It's that wave of people who deliberately revealed the news of Zhu Di, if it's true..."

When it comes to the end, his tone is somewhat meaningful. 14. What a big event Zhu Di secretly leaves the palace, in order to keep a low profile, this means that there must be not many followers.

They even leaked the news into their hands, which is simply a well-known fact of Sima Zhao's heart.

"Someone wants to use our hands to deal with Zhu Di, and he can take advantage of the fisherman himself."

If Zhu Di really fell into their hands, the capital would be in chaos, and the person who caused all this would not be able to take the opportunity to stand up to calm people's hearts, and it is not impossible for him to gain a high position.

"In that case, don't we become pawns in the hands of others!"

Ya Li Bo Er coldly snorted, "The abacus is good, as for the chess pieces?" He snorted coldly, put away the secret letter in his hand, and showed a mocking smile.

"It also depends on whether I agree or not. Since he regards me as a pawn, he is not my stepping stone."

A burst of astonishing light burst out of Yali'er's eyes, as if she could swallow everything up, and a little bit of greed floated to the surface.

At the same time, Zhu Gaoyu also accompanied Zhu Di to a city near the border in secret.

"Tuk-tuk-"

With the sound of the train whistle, the running speed became slower and slower, and the shadow outside the window became clearer, and you could see that the scenery and buildings outside had completely changed in style.

Different from the small and delicate ones in the capital, there are blue tiles and vermilion walls everywhere. Most of the keynotes here are gray or dark. Square house.

"We have arrived."

"The speed of this train is really fast." Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh when he got off the train. He touched the carriage, and the admiration in his expression could not be concealed.

Zhu Gaoyu said from the side: "If you still want to take the train, we will continue when we come back."

"This good thing must be promoted. With this common people, it is not difficult to go anywhere."

Zhu Di, who has experienced it himself, understands the benefits of trains better. Not only is the speed faster than a horse-drawn carriage, but it is also stable and safe, and can also transport many people and goods.

"If there were such things as trains back then, it would only be a short period of time to transport troops and horses, and Daming's iron cavalry would directly send troops to the north, and there would be nothing to do with the grasslands now, and they would not be so arrogant."

Speaking of it, the grassland problem has always plagued the Ming Dynasty. From the very beginning of its establishment, it has been harassing the people at the frontier, so that it is miserable, and it takes a lot of time and troops to quell the rebellion on the grassland.

In the beginning, it was because of the long distance and fear that supplies would not be delivered in time, so that people from the grasslands were stocked, allowing them to rest and recuperate, gradually developing and growing, and finally became a confidant of Daming.

Facing Zhu Di's regret, Zhu Gaoyu comforted him: "It's not the same now. The grasslands are still keeping themselves safe. Besides, our Daming is strong now, and they don't dare to make trouble again."

Zhu Di nodded and thought it made sense, "In the end, it's all thanks to you." He looked around and found that there were few people, and it seemed that the train hadn't stopped in the city.

"Why are we here."

Zhu Gaoyu saw his doubts and explained: "There are many people in the city, and the train is too conspicuous. If we get off the train in the city, it will inevitably attract the attention of those who care, so I let the train stop here, and then we Enter the city secretly."

I have to say that Zhu Gaoyu has considered all aspects, and it is no wonder that Zhu Di trusts him so much, and loves him so much, "Fourth, you have done a good job."

Everyone has changed into civilian clothes. Except for dozens of elite soldiers disguised as guards to accompany them, the rest are divided into two parts, one part is looking for a hidden place outside the city to be stationed, and the other part is entering the city in batches.

Otherwise, with so many of them entering the city at once, they would definitely attract attention.

Zhu Gaoyu pointed to the box behind him, "This time, we are businessmen who came from afar from the capital to deliver goods to the border. In addition, we are going to inspect the situation here and prepare for the new store to open."

In the past caravans, in order to prevent refugees and robbers along the way, it is not surprising that there are [-] or [-] people in the team at one time, but since the use of rails to transport goods, the labor cost has been greatly reduced.

However, just in case, and for safety reasons, some businesses still choose to bring some staff. It is not too surprising that there are dozens of people in their group.

Zhu Di reminded aloud, "And your names may need to be changed. In the future, you will call me Master."

Everyone obeyed and said, "Yes, sir."

The group was waiting to enter the city, and it didn't take long for them to walk when a tall, fuzzy shadow appeared in front of them. It was made of boulders. It looked bold and rough on the outside. The buildings in the capital looked extraordinarily delicate in front of it.

With the north wind whistling, the city standing in the cold wind has a kind of deep restraint, standing here like a giant, guarding the safety of the people in the city.

"The buildings here are very different from those in the capital."

Zhu Di has also visited the border city before, but it is newly built, and the style looks slightly different from the outside.

"Naturally it's different. If you move those buildings in the capital, I'm afraid it will be damaged in a few years."

The capital is mainly beautiful and waterproof, the climate is humid, the border is windy and rainfall is low, so it is naturally drier. .

Chapter 313

As Zhu Gaoyu and others approached, the whole picture of the majestic city wall was finally shown in front of everyone.

There are not too many people entering the customs today, but there are still queues at the gate of the city.

Zhu Gaoyu and the others stood at the end, and in front of them were those dressed in Han costumes, with the special products of certain regions or fabrics in the burden.

There were also several people wearing felt hats and fur collars, who looked like they were coming from the grasslands. A brown corner was faintly exposed in the bamboo baskets behind them, which seemed to be dried bacon, some goat milk wine and others. groceries.

"No problem, you can go."

Two guards stood on the left and the right of the city gate, checking whether there were any smuggled or harmful items on the passers-by and the goods.

The team moved forward in an orderly manner, and the people also obeyed the order. They soon arrived at Zhu Gaoyu and the others. However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

A small team of about five or six people came from nowhere, pulling a horse and transporting several heavy boxes on it. The naked eye can see that the weight is not light, otherwise the sound of the horse's hooves would not be so laborious, falling on the ground. There was a muffled sound on the ground.

"Let me go, please let me down."

The leader who walked in the front shouted and rammed all the way. The originally orderly and orderly team was rushed to pieces in an instant, and everyone hurriedly avoided, so that in the panic, some scattered goods fell.

"I'm really sorry everyone, we're in a hurry." The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties. He said apologetically, but there was no guilt in his expression.

"What's the matter with you? Are you the only one in a hurry? Our big guys are not in a hurry."

"Hey, you bumped into someone else's thing, just say a few apologies and you'll be fine?"

"If you want to enter the city, go to the back and wait in line. What do you mean by cutting the queue! It's just contempt for Wang Fa々'."

The people behind were full of grievances, but the man turned a deaf ear, plugged directly to the front of the team, and cupped his hands at the guards.

"It's a matter of urgency, please do it conveniently." After speaking, he quietly took out a bulging purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into the hands of the guards.

The middle-aged man showed a flattering smile, lowered his voice and said, "Be careful, the adults have worked hard, get some wine and treat the other brothers well."

Although the person standing behind couldn't hear what he was saying, but looking at his behavior, he could guess what he was doing, and it was nothing more than a bribe.

"Master, do we want to stop it? If everyone jumps in the queue like him, wouldn't the city gate be messy, and there are no rules and regulations to speak of."

Zhu Di frowned and looked at the scene in front of him. He was a little unhappy between his brows and eyes, but he stopped his subordinates from coming forward, "We are looking at the situation."

I saw that the guard guarding the city gate weighed his purse, revealing his big white teeth, "It's quite heavy."

The man did not doubt that he was there. Seeing that the guards did not refuse, he thought there was a play. "The adults have worked hard to stand guard, but I can't make you suffer." After speaking, he waved his hand and signaled the people behind him to enter, but they were stopped. down.

"Hey, sir, are you here?"

"Don't you know that there is a clear rule above that all those entering the city will line up?"

The man smiled and looked like an old fritters.

"This goods is urgently needed by the nephew of the deputy city owner, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a hurry to enter the city, right? We will deliver it before the time. If we miss the time and blame it, we won't be able to explain it, so please make it convenient for you. ."

The guard nodded thoughtfully, "So that's how it is."

The meaning in the man's words is very obvious. He thought that this passage should be unimpeded. With a happy face, he cupped his hands and said: "Then I will thank the adults first."

However, there was another voice behind him blocking, "Wait!"

The money was also given, and the stakes in it were also said. Entering a city is still pushing three and four, even if it is a man who met with a smile, his face is gloomy at the moment.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Literally." The guard still had the same hippie smile as before, and threw the purse back into his arms, and said loudly: "There is a clear rule above that everyone who enters the city will line up, without any special and exception!"

After speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and said with a half-smile: "Even if the little nephew of the deputy city lord you said is here, it is treated like this."

"You!" The middle-aged man held his purse and was speechless, "Aren't you afraid that I will go to the deputy city lord to complain!"

The guard said fearlessly: "Go ahead, it seems that you are accusing me of negligence of duty." He paused, his eyes swept over the purse, and he said, "... or accuse me of accepting bribes."

The middle-aged man was blocked by him and was speechless.

"If you have this spare time to threaten me here, it's better to go to the back and line up, otherwise don't say it's too late, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the city even before the sun goes down!"

"You're ruthless!" The middle-aged man was shriveled, his face was black, and after dropping a sentence, he took the carriage and the others stood at the back of the line.

His gloomy appearance caused others to cheer and chatted non-stop there.

"Nice job! This kind of person should have a memory for him. Don't think that everything can be settled with silver taels."

"And the little nephew of the deputy city owner, then I'm still a relative of the city owner, so I'm still lining up here."

I don't know who made a joke, which made everyone laugh.

"Everyone is the same, and he thought he was the most special."

Hearing the words of others, the middle-aged man's face was somber that he could drip water, but the guards were not far away (by Li Zhao) staring at him, and he was not easy to do anything, so he could only hold his breath in his heart.

"This guard is not bad." The expression on Zhu Di's face with a satisfied smile also turned gloomy, "The people in Xincheng are very good, even an ordinary guard who guards the gate is so proud."
