Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 251 The Imperial Guard Enters Jinling City

Zhu Youxiao was standing on the attic of the tallest single building in Daming Daily, and he could just see a large group of rioters outside the gate and the soldiers of Dongchang Fanzi and Liu Kongzhao who were confronting them.

"I didn't expect these people in Jiangnan to be so crazy, completely disregarding the authority of the cabinet scholars, and even dare to attack Dongchang, which has always been frightening," Zhu Youxiao said involuntarily.

"I'm afraid that the scholars of Fushe didn't expect that they just wanted to force Your Majesty to ban the Royal Weaving Bureau, but who would have expected that once the common people become crazy, they would dare to do anything, I'm afraid," Wei Miner As he spoke, he couldn't help but shut his mouth, but Zhu Youxiao couldn't help turning around to look at her, and asked, "I'm afraid what?"

Wei Min'er couldn't stand Zhu Youxiao's threatening eyes, so he had to reply: "I'm afraid there will be civil uprisings, and even cults will take the opportunity to make trouble. Then Jiangnan will fall into chaos, and Daming may not be safe!"

"presumptuous!"

Zhu Youxiao immediately scolded Wei Min'er, although he had to admit that the daughter of the former Chief Assistant in front of him was indeed extremely intelligent, but he absolutely did not allow others to lightly say that Ming was not guaranteed.

The Ming Dynasty has lasted for more than two hundred years. Many people automatically think that it is time to change the dynasty, and regard the demise of the Ming Dynasty as a natural historical law, just like people will be born, grow old, get sick and die.

It is precisely because of this that many scholars and people in Ming Dynasty, like the scholars and people in the late dynasties, treat the fall of the dynasty negatively or find excuses for their extravagant life. The tourists are drunk, and they call Hangzhou Bianzhou."

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, although he must have a sense of urgency, he must also put an end to such negative thoughts from arising or discussing. He wants everyone in the dynasty to have the confidence to believe that Daming can still dominate the country for hundreds of years. Year!

Wei Min'er saw Zhu Youxiao clenched his fists tightly and his veins were bulging, but his eyes were mysterious and seemed to show approval, so he also understood his original intention of scolding him so, so he hurriedly bowed his head and nodded, "Minister is guilty! "

"You don't have to call yourself a civil daughter in the future, you can call yourself a minister or a concubine." Zhu Youxiao said lightly and didn't really care about Wei Miner, but Wei Miner couldn't help but tremble after hearing Zhu Youxiao's casual sentence. She also understood Zhu Youxiao's intentions, but she still had to say clearly: "Then call yourself a humble minister, and I dare not be a concubine. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said nothing.

At this time, more and more demonstrators gathered around the location of Da Ming Daily. These people stood outside, neither speaking nor fighting, standing there like old monks sitting in meditation.

And behind Zhu Youxiao, from the attic to the stairs to the gate, the Dongchang fanzi and the editors of Daming Daily have already been filled.

Even the chief writer Zhang Dai stood inside the gate holding a half-foot-long latch at some point, leading a group of editors to guard there with a serious face.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, and called Yidongchang Fanzi over: "Pass my order to Mr. Zhang, the editor-in-chief, and let him take his editors back to do his own work. Those thin arms Those with slender legs can stop a few rioters, and if they are exposed to the poisonous sun here like a bamboo pole, it will be bad if they get sunstroke. Tell them that their battlefield is in the pen battle. After the matter is over, they will return. Do the final qualitative and finishing work!"

……

Time passed by every minute and every second, some places were still shouting loudly, and some places stood there silently like those people in front of the Da Ming Daily.

Strikes and strikes have become a common phenomenon. Many schools are empty. Nanzhili inspector censor admiral Xuezheng Zhang Renxue is also surrounded by hundreds of students in the yamen at this time, and is forced to serve as Zhu Youxiao. Fold bullets to impeach Li Mingrui.

At the same time, due to the impact of the strike, there have been situations in metropolises such as Jinling, Suzhou and Hangzhou where garbage has not been cleaned up, causing dust to fly all over the city, and even garbage everywhere.

And when a summer rain hit, the whole city began to have a stench, but because of too much garbage, the sewers were clogged, and the city's water accumulation became more serious.

What's more serious than this is that many stores closely related to the people, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, etc., could not operate, which caused many small and medium-sized businessmen to suffer huge losses, and many people in the market fell into famine.

Only some people participated in the parade, but the lives of most people were affected by it.

Even Zhu Youxiao's life was affected. Although he guessed that this would happen in the parade, he ordered the yamen and the people to collect and store food, and the Daming Daily also stocked a lot of food in advance, but after a few days It was almost sold out, and now he had to eat porridge every day.

The marchers outside the Da Ming Daily regularly shouted for a while in the morning and afternoon every day, and simply sat down and rested at other times, and directly set up pots on the ground to cook.

Of course, there were also those who couldn't take it anymore and left one after another. Every day, dozens to hundreds of people would leave one after another, but there would always be some Fushe students who bewitched and then asked some ordinary people to join in.

They are waiting, waiting for the emperor who is still silent to come out, and they want the emperor in the Forbidden City to come out and agree to their request.

But they don't know that their emperor is also surrounded by him now, and Zhu Youxiao can't return to the palace now, and his series of measures can't be carried out. The only thing to do now is to wait and wait. With the arrival of Qin Botong's two battalions of guards, the current deadlock will be broken.

……

On the Yangtze River, warships of the Ming Navy (temporarily compiled by Nanjing Caojiang Navy) were used to transport the Imperial Guards in the north of the Yangtze River. As soon as they arrived at Xiaguan in Jinling City, Qin Botong couldn't wait to lead the two most elite infantry battalions he had trained in Xuzhou. He quickly ran into the tower.

The infantry of these two battalions are all Jiangbei soldiers, and they are basically familiar with the hydrological environment, so they don't get seasick, and as soon as they landed, they still marched towards Jinling City neatly like dragons and tigers.

At this time, the outskirts of Jinling City are empty, which is also suitable for the army to move quickly.

"Hurry up, sir. Each battalion organizes a commando team composed of three-eyed guns to break through for the vanguard in two directions towards Jiming Mountain. Remember, this is a battle, and anyone who dares to stand in the way will be treated Enemy shot!"

Qin Botong had already learned from Dongchang that His Majesty was trapped at the Daming Daily's station before this, so he rushed directly to here as soon as he got ashore.

As for the three hundred cavalrymen and Ye Zhen's guards, Zhu Youxiao sent them to important places such as the Royal Weaving Bureau, the Royal Bank Branch, and the Jiangnan Branch of the Royal Industrial Company.

The people gathered in these places are no less than the people in the Da Ming Daily resident, and the bloody conflicts broke out even more, but also because of the stronger strength of the Imperial Guards, the situation there is better. At least the work in these important places can still be done. proceed as usual.
