The Imperial Palace in Nanjing is already in ruins.
During the orthodox years, a thunderbolt caught fire and burned down the halls and pavilions such as Jinshen and Huagai. Then there were storms and floods, and only the walls of the imperial city remained, and the rest of the wooden buildings were all rotten.
Even the Nanjing Taimiao was burned down!
Zhao Han took his wife, children and younger sister and moved into the Nanjing Inner Defense Mansion temporarily.
The Ming Dynasty had three teams in Nanjing. The Inner Garrison Mansion was the office of the eunuchs and civil servants, and the Outer Garrison Mansion was the office of the generals.
Last time Nanjing was occupied, all the chief eunuchs were killed, and the ordinary eunuchs remained and were hired by the government to clean up.
Now, the sign of the Inner Garrison Mansion has been removed and replaced with a new one: Dudu Mansion.
"Ah, this place is much bigger than Ji'an General Military Mansion!" Zhao Zhenfang ran around in the back house.
Pan Qimei followed suit, and the yard was bigger than she imagined, and it seemed inappropriate to use it to feed chickens.
With a smile on her face, Fei Rulan directed everyone to move things, and some rooms also had to be cleaned up.
The relocation of the ruling center from Ji'an to Nanjing is not only due to the issue of status.
Another important reason is that Ji'an Fucheng is too small. With the expansion of Zhao Han's territory, there are more and more various institutions, and the Ji'an General Military Mansion simply cannot accommodate it.
"Chief town, there are many eunuchs petitioning outside!" The guard hurried over to report.
Although the government offices and noble gardens in Nanjing have not been used for the time being, they will definitely be useful in the future. The eunuchs who survived were thrown around as handymen, cleaning and maintaining buildings with a meager salary.
These too listened to say that Zhao Han had moved in, so they joined forces in private and came to petition in unison.
Zhao Han walked to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, saw a crowd kneeling in the dark outside, frowned and shouted: "Hurry up and disperse!"
A eunuch climbed up on his knees, kowtowed and said: "The servant bowed to the commander. The commander will be the emperor in the future. In the palace, it is inconvenient for the guards to do things, so we have to use eunuchs. We are all disabled people, please The commander-in-chief is kind enough to stay and serve the commander-in-chief."
"Are you the leader?" Zhao Han asked.
The eunuch thought he had an opportunity, so he quickly replied: "Your maidservant's humble name is Yuan En."
"Arrest this guy to sweep the streets, three months of hard labor, no pay, just food!" Zhao Han said, turned around and left.
A group of eunuchs knelt there, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
Even if one day Zhao Han really wanted to use eunuchs, he would order them to be summoned instead of a group of eunuchs coming to instigate them
Jeju Island.
Hu Dinggui, Wang Yaochen, Lu Xiangguan, and Chen Tangong looked at the more than 400 horses in front of them, and there was nothing but indescribable shock in their hearts.
"Isn't this a genius?" Lu Xiangguan exclaimed.
Hu Dinggui looked at his mount, and then at the horse breed that had just been transported, like a person who has been eating bran for a long time, suddenly encounters delicacies from mountains and seas.
500 horses departed from India and were transported to Shanghai. More than 30 horses died, and more than 60 horses were sick and stayed temporarily for recuperation and treatment. Only 402 good horses were actually transported to Jeju Island.
These horses were all bought from the Mughal Empire, and they are all Mawari horses.
The average shoulder height of male horses is close to 1.55 meters, the average shoulder height of mares is close to 1.53 meters, while the average shoulder height of Jeju Island is only 1.22 meters.
A full difference of 30 centimeters!
These are likely the hybrid descendants of Arabian and Turkmen horses brought to northwestern India by invaders.
When the Mughal Empire expanded, several states that had this kind of war horse fought back and forth with the Mughal army. In the end, relying on internal division and political marriage, the Mughal Empire annexed those states and gave them a high degree of autonomy.
After long-distance transportation, everyone was reluctant to ride, so they were sent to the pasture to recover their energy.
It was not until ten days later that Hu Dinggui carefully tested the car.
That kind of feeling is like replacing a tractor with a top sports car!
"Drive!"
Sitting on horseback, Hu Dinggui seemed to be flying through the clouds as he galloped along.
Lu Xiangguan also chose a horse, and immediately burst into pride, he rode his horse to catch up with Hu Dinggui and said: "General Hu, with this amazing horse, it can sweep Mobei!"
Hu Dinggui ran for two laps and stopped, and said: "Let this kind of Tianzhu horse breed by itself first, and if the stallion still has enough strength, then choose the best Jeju mares to breed. The horse is born in October, and the pony is one and a half years old. If they can be bred, many good horses can be born in five years!"
Chen Tangong caught up and asked, "How much is this kind of horse?"
?Wang Yaochen replied: "15Wu, none of the civil servants and military generals of Ming Dynasty can be Zhao Han's opponent. "
"What the people want." Lu Xiangjin said.
Lu Xiangsheng said: "The hearts of the people in the past were the hearts of the scholars and the people. Guishou was ignorant, he didn't know right from wrong, he didn't know the benefits and harms, so he couldn't get his mind together. Haha, this statement is absurd. Guishou is not ignorant, but has nothing to do with them. Zhao Han With Tian Zheng¡¯s desire to gather at the head of Guizhou, this is the real aspiration of the people. After the flood is over, let us brothers also go to Nanjing to see what we can find.¡±
The various armies being mobilized were delayed by the heavy rain throughout the Yangtze River Basin.
? Heavy rains fell in Jiangxi, Hunan, and Jiangnan, and finally formed a large flood peak in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Susongchang Lake and these big taxpayers were all hit by floods, and countless farmlands along Taihu Lake were submerged.
Flood in the south, drought in the north!
Shandong not only suffers from drought, but also suffers from locust plagues, and the whole province is full of migratory locusts.
Puzhou Prefecture was the worst hit, and all the vegetation was eaten up. The government dug a pit to bury the corpse directly outside the city gate, and the hungry people dug the pit to dig up the corpse, cut up the corpse and ate the flesh. There are also family members who died of starvation, and there are many father and son couples eating each other at the morgue.
Fortunately, Zhang Guowei was appointed as the Jiangnan Water Conservancy Envoy. Since last summer, he has been building Jiangnan Water Conservancy. And with work as relief, many hungry people survived the famine.
The damage caused by this year's flood is far lower than that in history.
"Orders to suspend the deployment of troops from all over the country, and all rush to the disaster area to rescue the people!"
This is the first military order issued by Zhao Han himself after he moved to Nanjing.
All provinces are flooded, how can we fight across the river?
