Zhao Hongyu and his party have been living in the capital for half a month.
During this half month, Zhao Hongyu took Emma, ??Sarah, and his genetic warriors to have a good taste of the style of the Ming Dynasty in the seventeenth century.
Although there is no high technology or steel and cement buildings here, Zhao Hongyu is very fascinated by the environment here.
Unlike modern times, the capital of Ming Dynasty in this era did not have such big sandstorms. Because in this era, the forest vegetation outside the capital and near Mongolia was still very lush.
With these lush vegetation, the wind and sand are resisted on the outside.
It was only in modern times that the vegetation was completely lost due to man-made destruction. Finally, after the natural barrier against wind and sand was lost, the capital of China would experience several sandstorms every year.
And within this half month, Zhao Hongyu was completely obsessed with this authentic style of the capital.
It has been half a month since we left Yangzhou in the blink of an eye, and it is only the tenth day of the Lunar New Year in the capital, and the fifteenth day has not yet passed. Therefore, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is very strong inside and outside the ancient capital.
Every morning, there would be many naughty children setting off firecrackers outside the Lifanyuan embassy where Zhao Hongyu and his family lived.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by small vendors who don¡¯t dare to delay making money during the Chinese New Year.
In the early morning of this day, more than a dozen burly men walked out of the gate of the residence where the envoys were housed in the Lifanyuan. It can be seen from their appearance that these guys are definitely not from the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Highness, we have been waiting here for seven days. But the Ming Dynasty's court has not sent anyone to summon us yet. Isn't this a bit too neglectful of us?"
The people who walked out of the Lifan Court were none other than Zhao Hongyu and Mrs. Wang, Tokugawa Chizuru and two Japanese warriors, as well as Baron Roderney and several mercenaries under his command.
Walking in front, the one wearing a completely different outfit from Daming, wearing red with golden lace and wearing tall black leather boots, was Zhao Hongyu.
And kept whispering to him that he had caught something, which was Mrs. Wang who he had rescued from Yangzhou.
Although Mrs. Wang whispered this to Zhao Hongyu, the respect flashed from his eyes from time to time, which made Hattori Chizuru who was following Zhao Hongyu very satisfied.
Speaking of which, after Master Wang was rescued, his family was still in the hands of the Yangzhou magistrate. If it weren't for Zhao Hongyu, there's no telling what kind of abuse his family would have suffered.
¡°In other words, the lives of Mrs. Wang¡¯s family were all saved by Zhao Hongyu. This kind of kindness is not unimportant to Master Wang, so it is not surprising that he respects Zhao Hongyu so much.
Although Master Wang has been a pirate for 20 to 30 years, he has been in the pirate circle for so many years, and he has some reckless habits.
Lectures, focus on righteousness.
At that time in Yangzhou, Zhao Hongyu led his army to the tavern, revealed his identity, and completely suppressed Chen Xiuchang from Baihusuo.
And when Zhao Hongyu learned that Mrs. Wang¡¯s family members were still in the prison in the Yamen, he immediately led his troops to the Yangzhou Prefect¡¯s Yamen, arrested the prefect directly, and then forced him to release Mrs. Wang¡¯s family.
According to common sense, this matter is a big deal.
Zhao Hongyu and the others, as foreigners, actually arrested the high-status prefect of Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty. This was no different from beating the face of the Ming Dynasty.
Under normal circumstances, it is not impossible for the Ming Dynasty to send troops to encircle and suppress Zhao Hongyu and the others.
However, Zhao Hongyu easily resolved this problem.
I have to say one thing, that is, the free money is really useful.
Zhao Hongyu sent people to rush to Nanjing at high speed and handed over his credentials at the Lifan Yuan. At the same time, he sprinkled money in Nanjing City and completely defeated all the officials with money.
Facing Zhao Hongyu¡¯s silver bullet offensive, Nanjing¡¯s guarding eunuchs and a group of distinguished officials all completely sided with Zhao Hongyu.
A memorial was sent to the capital, and then the prefect of Yangzhou was dismissed from office and sent to prison.
He went from a high-ranking magistrate to a prisoner. This change is not a big one.
At that time, the backers of Zhang Shoushan, the prefect of Yangzhou, chose silence and avoidance.
For such a guy, of course they know they should give up.
And it is precisely because of thisThis incident brought Zhao Hongyu and the Song Empire into the sight of the ancient Ming Empire.
Especially when the big shots in the court heard that Zhao Hongyu and his party were actually the descendants of the Zhao and Song royal family hundreds of years ago, the flames of gossip among the high-ranking officials and the traffickers and lackeys in the Ming Dynasty were all ignited.
After settling the matter in Yangzhou, Zhao Hongyu led the fleet to leave Yangzhou. He only stayed in Yangzhou for three days, and he did not understand Yangzhou's lavish life and the 'characteristics' of Yangzhou at all.
Regarding this, Zhao Hongyu still felt a little regretful.
You know, Yangzhou's "Skinny Horse" is also a unique thing.
"But Zhao Hongyu is not a brainless person who was possessed by the 'Mi Qing' insect. He is very clear about the purpose of his coming to Ming Dynasty this time.
¡°It¡¯s just that what happened to Mrs. Wang is just an accident.
Now that it¡¯s solved, the plane has long nights and many dreams, so he has to quickly set off for the capital.
??Get in touch with the big guys in Beijing as soon as possible, and then finish the things you need to do on this trip, and then you can slowly appreciate the customs of the Ming Dynasty.
¡°It¡¯s just that when Zhao Hongyu arrived in the capital, it happened to be the day of the Spring Festival.
The imperial court was also on holiday at this time, and officials at all levels were not going to court, so Zhao Hongyu couldn't find anyone at all, so he could only take his men to live in the residence provided by the Lifan Yuan.
Of course, the accommodation provided by the Lifan Yuan certainly cannot accommodate so many people brought by Zhao Hongyu. Therefore, Zhao Hongyu had to arrange most of his men in other inns.
Fortunately, the street of Lifanyuan is specially used to receive envoys from various countries, so there are many inns here, and there are also many small shops.
This way, it is convenient for Zhao Hongyu.
He booked almost all the inns near Lifanyuan and asked those owners to provide the best services.
This made the innkeepers laugh so hard that their eyes turned into crescent moons.
¡°A generous person like Zhao Hongyu is simply their favorite.
¡°And Zhao Hongyu was generous, and all he took out were real money.
The rescued Master Wang and his family also came to the capital with Zhao Hongyu, but at this time, Master Wang had begun to consider himself a Song Dynasty person.
Even his family members were registered as Song people.
However, because his two sons were beaten severely in prison, they are still unable to go to the ground and can only rest quietly in bed. Therefore, Mrs. Wang¡¯s wife and daughter must stay in the inn. The two of them are taken care of there.
But Mrs. Wang followed Zhao Hongyu and began to perform his duties.
Originally, Zhao Hongyu wanted Master Wang to spend time with his family, but he couldn't bear it and Master Wang started to do things.
In Mrs. Wang¡¯s opinion, she already owed Zhao Hongyu too much. If he didn¡¯t do something, he would really feel uneasy.
Having saved them from the Dutch, now I have saved him again.
Unable to defeat Mrs. Wang, Zhao Hongyu could only let him follow him.
"It's the Spring Festival now. The officials of the imperial court also have to take a rest and celebrate the festival with their families at home. And the fifteenth day has not passed yet. If we want to come to the court to deal with our affairs, we have to wait until after the fifteenth day. ."
Zhao Hongyu is not as anxious as Master Wang.
He himself is happy to enjoy a few days of leisure time, so that he can take a good tour of the capital.
I haven¡¯t done much shopping in Yangzhou, so I¡¯m a little disappointed now that I think about it.
Now that we have arrived in the capital, we can no longer feel like we are in Yangzhou.
¡°Besides, he still wants to start the empire¡¯s business in the capital.
He has shares in the umbrella company, and the shares are quite large.
If we can start the empire's business here in the Ming Dynasty, it will be beneficial to the Ming Empire and ourselves.
Although he had only been in the capital for less than half a month, he had already heard from many people about the famines that had plagued the Ming Dynasty in recent years.
The Ming Dynasty court was short of money and food!
This is already an obvious thing.
Of course, the Ming Dynasty was short of money, but the big shots and wealthy businessmen in the court had plenty of money.
Zhao Hongyu doesn¡¯t want to let go of these big fat sheep.
? ??And Zhao Hongyu has nothing else on hand, but plenty of food.
It¡¯s not impossible to get food from the virtual world to help the Ming Dynasty.
Thinking about it, the court boss and the unprecedented emperor would not refuse.
This is food!
Of course, if possible, I can also lend money to the Ming Empire.
The interest is just a little less.
Judging from the face-saving character of the Ming Empire, it should be impossible for them to default on their debts.
So, this can be done.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There was an emergency report from Liaodong a few days ago. It seems that the officers and soldiers in various towns in Liaodong are arguing about their pay, which makes Liaodong a little unstable.
At this juncture, my own money can solve a lot of problems for Ming Dynasty.
At least the court with money can stabilize the situation in Liaodong, so that it can better kill the Jurchens.
Since I have come to this era, I cannot let Daming suffer such humiliation again.
"The imperial court is procrastinating in doing things. I'll go talk to the officials in the Lifan Yuan and let them ask us." Mrs. Wang said to Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu shook his head: "Don't bother them. This is the Chinese New Year. Let's let them relax. Let's wait until after the fifteenth. Just go shopping with me today." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, The novel is better and updated faster!)
