There is no need to describe the so-called prosperity of the capital. There are many super cities in Luo Chong's small universe that are thousands of times larger than this one. šI
Meng Danzhong and several imperial guards, as well as a dozen of the princess's guards, opened the way in front, with five carriages in the middle, followed by fifty cavalrymen including Yue Hu, all of whom were riding horses.
Some ragged refugees can indeed be seen in the city, but they have not reached the exaggerated level of overcrowding that Duan Hongliang said.
The people on the street did not know that this was the princess's motorcade. As people from the capital, they would not be surprised by the presence of several luxurious carriages. At this moment, their extremely shocked expressions were of course caused by the eight hundred heads behind them.
Fifty horses and fifty knights, with a string of bloody and terrifying human heads hanging on the back of the horse, everyone would be frightened when they saw it.
Women¡¯s exclamations and children¡¯s cries resounded in waves, gradually spreading as the entire team moved slowly.
Luo Chong did this deliberately, not to scare the people, but on the contrary, to reassure them.
Next they will know that these heads are all from the Qingyuan Army, and they will be very excited, and they will not be so worried about the rumors that the Qingyuan Army is sieging the capital.
What¡¯s so scary about the Qingyuan Army? They haven¡¯t even arrived yet, so we¡¯ve already killed so many people
That¡¯s pretty much what it means. Words like this will soon spread throughout the streets.
The Jin Dynasty is weak, and many people have no hope for the current situation. They just need such a victory to cheer them up.
Conventionally speaking, being able to kill 800 Qingyun soldiers should be a battle of tens of thousands of people. The Jin Dynasty army must have an absolute advantage to do it. The people must not have thought that it was actually 500 people from our Jin Dynasty local military region. A feat accomplished by cavalry.
Therefore, judging by only 800 heads, it can be called a great victory.
This is the Jin Dynasty, which is so weak that even ten Qingyuan Army heads can boast of their merits everywhere.
There is no need to say more about the reaction of the people. At the intersection of Chang'an Avenue, Luo Chong's team will be temporarily separated from Princess Yongning, because Yongning must return to the palace as soon as possible, and Luo Chong has nothing else to do. , it¡¯s time to send the rotting heads of soldiers to the Ministry of War.
"Go and do your work first."
The princess opened the car window and said softly to Luo Chong: "I have another house on Yuhua Street. It can accommodate dozens of you without any problem. This is my token. Just show it to the housekeeper. You can settle down first. Bring the wounded in and take good care of them, and I will help you sort out the matters in court."
Seeing that Luo Chong just nodded without speaking, she added: "I won't say thank you. In short, I am willing to do my best to help you realize your ideal of flying around the world"
"good!"
Luo Chong still nodded, with a strange smile on his lips.
Help me realize my ideal?
Okay, it¡¯s good to have this kind of heart, so let¡¯s wave goodbye.
As soon as the princess closed the car window, Meng Danzhong came over. He looked at Luo Chong as if he had a lot to say, but in the end he shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, it's useless to say it. It's impossible to change your temperament." ¡±
Luo Chong knew that he wanted to advise him to restrain his personality and not to offend others by provoking others, but the problem was that this was simply impossible.
If a person respects me a foot, I can respect him. If you encounter the kind of nostrils, we will never get used to his faults.
¡°This trip to the capital will definitely offend a lot of people, but so what.
The Ministry of War!
Luo Chong came with his team. Even if he has 800 heads, which is a big achievement, there will still be people who come out to embarrass you for one reason or another due to the dirty things in the officialdom.
Luo Chong caught a man wearing the official uniform of the principal, who was almost a sixth-grade official. He quietly gave him a silver ingot and asked him to go to the Minister of War, Mr. Wang. He told Guangling Luodong to come to the Ministry of War to report his merits.
?? Mr. Wang, the right minister, is the third-in-command of the Ministry of War. His rank is not high in the capital, but as one of the six bureaus, he can be said to have real power in his hands. He is doing well in the officialdom.
But his true identity is that he is a member of the Taiping Holy Cult. Last time he sent someone to say a few good words for him in front of Guangning's commander-in-chief Xia Houmu. Today he came to the Ministry of War. With such a relationship, naturally there is no need to waste it. Need not.
After a while, Wang Zhuoqing, the right minister of the Ministry of War, came out to greet him personally. As the leader of the superior department, he took the initiative to salute Luo Chong and said with enthusiasm: "General Luo, I didn't expect to see you in the capital so soon."
"Mr. Wang, you are very polite."?. "
Luo Chong, a low-ranking general, didn't even receive a military salute. He accepted the salute from his leader with a natural expression.
In the compound where the Ministry of War first entered, many officials passing by were extremely surprised: Who is this kid? He is so ****? Did he accept the courtesy of the right servant so calmly?
Luo Chong was even more nonchalant. He pointed to the street outside and said directly: "There are 800 heads of Qingyuan Cavalry outside. I harvested them when I escorted Princess Yongning back to Beijing. After all, I should come to the Ministry of War to climb up." A note, right?"
Needless to say, although Wang Shilang is only in his early forties, he is a veteran in the officialdom. He naturally knows how to use this credit, which is most beneficial to Luo Chong himself.
"Eight hundred heads are still Qingyuan cavalry!"
Wang Shilang deliberately used an exaggerated tone and said in shock: "Coupled with the credit for escorting Her Royal Highness the Princess back to Beijing safely I can only say that I must congratulate General Luo in advance."
"you are welcome."
Luo Chong waved his hand modestly: "That's all."
"Eight hundred Qingyuan cavalry?"
Some of the surrounding officials were only quietly paying attention here, but at this moment they couldn't help but exclaimed, of course not very loudly.
I believe that this news will soon spread throughout the court, especially at this juncture where 20,000 Qingyuan cavalry may threaten the capital, it will definitely cause a greater sensation and more attention.
"These officials are firstly afraid of death, and secondly they care about their official positions. To be honest, no matter how ruthless and treacherous they are, they do not want to change dynasties and become ministers of the country's subjugation.
"If the current imperial court is destroyed and there is a new master in the future, even if you can still serve as an official and serve the new master, you may not be able to keep your original official position.
¡°There is one emperor and one courtier, and this has been the truth since ancient times.
Therefore, if someone can deal with the Qingyuan Army, they will also feel happy, but the premise is that Luo Chong's rise cannot offend their personal interests.
With the help of Wang Shilang, the verification process for the eight hundred heads of merit became quite fast, and basically no difficulties were encountered. After all, Luo Chong had not offended a minister of the Ministry of War who was bigger than Wang Shilang. , except for the top leader, Lord Shangshu, no one in the entire military department dares to lose the honor of Youshi Lang.
Except for the Minister of Finance, the Zuo Shilang is the second-in-command, and the Right Shilang is the third-in-command. But in fact, the left and right ministers are completely equal, except that in the Jin Dynasty, Zuo was the most respected, and was only slightly higher in name.
After finishing the official business, Luo Chong could leave. Wang Shilang sent him out of the gate in person, and finally issued an invitation: "General Luo's army is tired, and there must be a lot of things to do when he just arrived in the capital. Today I will not do the trick of welcoming the wind and washing the dust." Come on, let me introduce some friends to you someday, and let¡¯s find a place to get together?¡±
"OK!"
Luo Chong agreed happily: "The next few nights are fine. I will be the first to see you in the capital. For the time being, I don't have any other arrangements."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Minister Wang smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Luo Chong knew that what he said about "introducing a few friends to get together" was referring to some officials of the Taiping Holy Sect who were secretly lurking in the court. It was even possible that they could meet their leader during this meeting.
That lady leader
Luo Chong smiled secretly in his heart. She must have wanted to sit down with her and have a good chat about the situation, but she just never dared.
Their two great masters were almost knocked to pieces by themselves. Anyway, the Taiping Holy Sect must have been terribly afraid of them.
After leaving the Ministry of War, we soon found Yuhua Street, another house owned by Princess Yongning. The area was quite large, and I didn¡¯t know which minister gave it to her.
As soon as the housekeeper Liu Bo saw the princess token presented by Luo Chong, he burst into laughter and was quite attentive and happy. He even called out all the more than a dozen servants and asked Luo Chong, who exuded the aura of death (eight hundred heads), to (The death aura has not yet dissipated) the sergeants gave orders at will.
¡°Obviously, Yongning not only gave a token, but also sent someone to come in advance to give instructions to Uncle Liu. It was nothing more than: The distinguished guest is staying temporarily and must not be neglected.
¡°I¡¯ve settled in. This place is nice.¡±
Luo Chong greeted Yue Hu and the other fifty soldiers: "Please give me a bath and change clothes each one. You all smell like rotten meat."
"Here!"
The soldiers responded with excitement. They all felt that they were lucky enough to live in the princess's mansion. I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to enjoy such a high-end residence in their lifetime.A few times, I had something to brag about to my fellow villagers, children and grandchildren. Based on this alone, this trip to the capital was not in vain.
"Keep yourself clean. There are ten people in a class, taking turns on duty."
Luo Chong ordered again: "The remaining people can move around freely. They can sleep in the room if they want. It's free to go out to eat, drink and gamble. But it's best to stay in groups so that if you get into trouble, you won't suffer a big loss if you are alone. "
The implication is: It¡¯s okay to cause trouble, but you absolutely can¡¯t suffer a loss and be embarrassed!
"Here!"
The excitement of the soldiers was ignited all of a sudden, and they were cheering in their hearts: after other generals came to the capital, they would carefully tell their subordinates not to cause trouble for themselves, and they had to endure it no matter how frustrated they were Look at our house General, that means, no matter how much trouble we get into, it doesn't matter. If we want to do it, we have to knock the opponent down completely. We ourselves must not suffer a loss.
What is this called?
This is called following the right person! Even if we die, no matter what, we will not feel a little aggrieved in our hearts.
