The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 196 My Emperor Shengming

Chapter 196 My Emperor Shengming
The lottery contest outside Guangqumen was still full of voices, and [-]% of the people were happy. After the host Zhang Zhiji announced that the lottery tickets were sold out and the lottery event was over, many people were still unsatisfied.

There should be at least 3 to [-] of them who couldn't find their homes when they returned. These people don't know it yet, and they will soon know that today they won't just win the lottery and get some cheap money, but they will lose their lives.

It doesn't matter that there are many homeless people. The Huang family built many temporary buildings here, and prepared enough food, medicine, and quilts, which can fully meet the emergency needs.

Mayday, don’t worry about people being homeless, but pay attention to disease prevention and control. The scene of the explosion is completely different from the history. There should not be too many corpses. Officials at all levels in the capital are not just decorations. Victims.

The crowd began to disperse, Huang Sheng watched the situation silently, Chu Er was frightened, and held on to the hand of the talented man.Everyone in the Huang family didn't take it seriously, because Huang Sheng had already assumed many emergencies to train everyone's resilience.

Such a short period of darkness today is mentally prepared. Not only did the Huang family not panic, but they also shouted loudly to comfort the nearby people and soldiers that there is no need to be nervous, telling everyone to just stay where they are and not move around.

Often when an emergency occurs, a group of calm and calm people can turn the tide by guiding the crowd. The Huang family is very good, and they did it.

He Xiang, Lan Caier, Bai Mudan and dozens of educated women were all helping to count the huge amount of copper coins and silver at the main station.

These girls are even more fearless. They are surrounded by familiar sisters. They are not only mentally prepared, but also protected by the Huang family's elite musketeers. The leaders are Huang Dongshan and Huang Donghai, Lu Chengzu, and Gu Shanhe. Wait for a few trusted military officers.

The reason why the main station is built solidly and protected by heavy troops is because it is full of cash flow. The copper coins and silver that have been in and out in the past few days are worth more than 30 taels. There are hundreds of thousands of people around, so of course we must be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Huang Sheng naturally led the little girl's catkin to waste time absent-mindedly for a walk, just like the lovers who went to the park in later generations, Chu'er's followers and Huang Sheng's personal soldiers all had a tacit understanding to disperse to drive away the idlers.

Zhang Youde, the steward of the inner courtyard who followed all the time, turned a blind eye to the lady's behavior, and even scolded the servants and maids who were covering their mouths and laughing.

Zhang Zhiji came running in a hurry, this kid just heard the report from his father, his face turned pale with fright.

Recalling Huang Sheng's preparations for the trade fair and fighting scenes, recalling the time set by the great talent to win the big prize, all the hairs on his back stood on end.

"My dear brother, the area around the Gunpowder Bureau of Wanggong Factory in the inner city of the capital has been bombed for several miles, and tens of thousands of houses have been destroyed! There should be tens of thousands of people here who will be homeless!"

Zhang Zhiji peeked at Huang Sheng's expression while talking, and felt even more disturbed seeing his calm expression.

"The British government has saved tens of thousands of Ming people! If it weren't for the little prince, you came here to fight for a show on a whim, how many people would have died today!" Huang Sheng loudly said intentionally.

"Obviously you are a good brother..." Huang Sheng was winking, but the little father-in-law didn't understand what he meant, so silence is golden.

Chu'er looked at her sweetheart with beautiful eyes, and then at her elder brother. If she realized something at this moment, it seems that he mobilized people to engage in this fighting game to save thousands of ordinary people!

At this moment, the pretty girl's little hand held her sweetheart's big hand even tighter, her heart was as sweet as honey.

The little prince came over, grabbed Huang Sheng and left, and ordered his followers not to allow anyone to approach. The captain of the personal army, Liu Guozheng, rushed over and wanted to follow, but Huang Sheng stopped him.

The three of them came to the barracks and found an empty barracks, and the young man let go.

Asked: "There are no outsiders here, my virtuous brother can tell the truth! Is today's incident as early as you expected? You are planning all your efforts to attract people from the capital to come out of the city?"

"Nonsense, my brother is not a god, how could he know that Wang Gong's factory was bombed today, but my luck has always been very good, and I just hit the right track." Of course Huang Sheng refused to admit it, sophistry.

"Brother, look at Brother Yu! Is there something stupid written on your face?"

"It would be foolish for the elder brother to think that the younger brother can pinch and count. If I knew what would happen, it would be so glorious to invite the holy majesty to be a national teacher! Why do you have to go to such trouble?"

"That's right! You don't look like a half-immortal, do you? But what happened today is too strange."

"What's so strange? It's not that my elder brother, Ji Ren Tianxiang, has unknowingly saved tens of thousands of Ming people."

"That's right, but Brother Yu always feels uneasy, Brother Yu should have something to hide from Brother Yu!"

"Brother, you think too much. Do you need to hide such a good thing? It seems that everyone in the world should know!"

Zhang Zhiji was not easy to fool, he didn't believe it at all, but he couldn't get Huang Sheng to admit it, so he decided not to get entangled in this matter.After thinking for a while, he smiled and said:

"Brother Yu has indeed done a great deed. The gunpowder of Wang Gong Factory was sold by my brothers for three 10,000+ catties. It is of course a great thing to save so much gunpowder! But brother, don't forget that it will be handed over to Brother Yu before the end of the year. There are three hundred slave-level ones!"

Zhang Zhiji was really happy. Everyone likes to do good deeds, and Xungui is no exception.

"That's right! If these gunpowder were blown up in the capital for nothing, it would be inevitable to hurt people and destroy property, and because of my brother's operation, these gunpowder will become a nightmare for slaves when they arrive in Liaodong. Couldn't it be that my brother did it himself for such a good thing? for?"

"Okay, dear brother, we are a family anyway, all this is not a bad thing, you can force it to Brother Yu if you want to, the problem is what to do now?"

"It's none of our business. There's the imperial court and Nine Thousand Years. Let them get busy!"

The clever girl Chu'er watched the two talking without interrupting, her small hand was still holding Huang Sheng's big hand, at this moment she was no longer shy in front of her brother, she just wanted to hold her sweetheart.

Jiu Qiansui was a little dizzy at this time, he and the British prince Zhang Weixian came to the location of Wang Gong's factory in the southwest corner of the inner city of the capital, where the devastation was shocking.

Three or four miles long, and thirteen miles around, it's all powder.The periphery is full of broken walls and ruins, the central area has been razed to the ground with a diameter of [-] steps, and the ground there has been cracked by [-] feet, leaving a huge pit.

"Such an explosion is beyond the reach of human beings. What's the reason?" Zhang Weixian muttered to himself, frightened by the tragic scene, and had never seen such an apocalyptic scene in his 50s.

The old eunuch is a little out of control. He has killed a lot of political enemies in recent years, Chao Gang has been firmly controlled by him, and now all kinds of strange phenomena here cannot be reasonably explained.

Ninety-nine percent of officials are involved in corruption to some extent, and those who are arrested and sentenced are nothing more than political enemies.

Politicians who persecute political opponents are self-taught, and most of them are charged with corruption. The murder of the six gentlemen of Donglin was also charged with corruption, which is a bit ridiculous.

Why didn't Wei Zhongxian know that those were all intentional crimes, so he raised the butcher's knife to make Yang Lian and the others die unjustly.

The ancients believed that there is a god if you look up three feet!There is no way to refute such an aggressive and strange thing, and now there is only an idealistic explanation, that is, Chao Gang's injustice and treacherous sycophants are in the right place, and the sky is wrathful and brought down disasters.

Wei Zhongxian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Grandpa, it's useless to ask the reason now. It's important for our family to ask you to send the Wucheng soldiers and horses here to help save people."

"It's lucky! There's a fighting game outside the Guangqu Gate today, and there aren't many people in the capital staying at home, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

"The key is that the gunpowder stock has decreased a lot. The old man has done a great deed to save millions of people!"

Wei Zhongxian recalled that three days ago, the secret security guard at the stall of the East Factory, the British public had helped the great talent to collect 50 catties of inventory from the gunpowder depot of the Wang Gong factory. Now there is a lot less gunpowder here, and the explosive power is always much smaller, so he quickly affirmed that the British public behavior, and presented a flower hat.

"It can't be caused by any gunpowder that blows up like this here, it must be a natural disaster." Zhang Weixian is in charge of the Shenji Camp, and he knows the power of gunpowder very well. Shenkeng said with lingering fear.

"It's God's will? No! God has pity on the people of Daming!" Wei Zhongxian is worthy of changing from a chaotic society to a chaotic politics, and he is a master of hooligan politics.

He raised his voice an octave and shouted: "If it wasn't for the Commodity Fair just outside Guangqumen, if it wasn't for the time to draw the big prizes this morning, if it wasn't for the fact that the gunpowder stock of Wang Gong Factory was running low, such How many people will die in the explosion?"

The sycophants behind Nine Thousand Years immediately understood, and echoed in unison: "My emperor is holy, God bless Daming, my Buddha is merciful, such a natural disaster is like thunder, and Wang Gongchang is almost empty, I am very lucky!  … .”
