Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

The Qing army that initially attacked Jiangyin were all government garrison soldiers sent by the Changzhou prefecture, as well as soldiers from the four towns of Nanming who surrendered.

After Liu Liangzuo's troops arrived, they attacked for half a month. Chen Ming was defeated and Gu Yuanbi was afraid.

This Gu Yuanbi, when Chen Mingyu felt powerless and suggested that Yan Yingyuan be used to defend the city, he blocked it in every possible way.

On July [-]th, Liu Liangzuo led the Qing army to attack the city.

Gu Yuanbi led his men to shoot arrows for a day. However, the arrows fell to the ground before they could reach the Qing army's heads.

Afterwards, his subordinate Ma Chaozi secretly dropped the gunpowder from the top of the city and handed it over to the Qing army.

Chen Mingyu found out something was fishy, ​​so he boldly ordered the arrest of Gu Yuanbi.

Chen Mingyu took Gu Yuanbi into custody and searched his residence...

really!

Qing military documents were found.

It turns out that this guy is greedy for life and afraid of death. He has secretly surrendered to the Qing army and even agreed to destroy the city!

Chen Mingyu immediately took the decision to execute Gu Yuanbi and more than 40 of his cronies.

Then, everyone was summoned and Yan Yingyuan was invited to preside over the proposal.

Everyone agreed, so they sent people out of the city overnight and invited Yan Yingyuan to enter the city to take charge of the overall defense.

Only then did Yan Yingyuan become a humble official——

With a group of villagers trapped in a small town, they defeated 24 Qing troops in a row - a feat of 81 days in [-]!

He even wiped out eighteen generals from three clans of the Qing Dynasty and more than 7 Qing troops!

Heroes always sing!

As for those who are nailed to the pillar of shame, as long as China continues, they will never be able to stop being scolded!

……

Zhang Guoyuan came to the gate of Gu Yuanbi's courtyard.

A few crooked soldiers were so frightened that their legs weakened when they saw the neatly dressed Hanjiang Merchant Group escort arriving.

A short little leader with baggy clothes, his face turned green.

I am a mother!

Oh no!

They're knocking on your door!

In the afternoon, someone came to discuss buying a house and planned to buy the yard at the market price.

Who knows, the guard master drank too much horse urine, but the lion opened his mouth and asked for 500 taels.

My God!

Don't you have any clues?

500 two!

Even in the inner city of the capital, you can buy a yard better than this!

Even if you enter the courtyard - it's really big!

However, it is only worth seven or eighty taels.

Sure enough, when the price was raised, the other party didn't even pay back the price.

Just leave!

When my master saw the people from Hanjiang Trading Company leaving, he sneered and said to them drunkenly:

"No matter who he is, he came to my territory and didn't even say hello, just wanting to do business?

I can't take care of the big local family. How can you, a foreigner, run away? "

As a close confidant, Ma Gaozi naturally knew what his master had planned.

Hanjiang merchants did not pay homage to the dock and send money...

The master is preparing to take advantage of others!

who knows……

But it hit the iron plate!

Looking at the fifty soldiers in neat military appearance in front of them.

Although they are small in number, I am afraid that the entire garrison combined cannot defeat them...

Ma Chaozi's calves were trembling!

When he saw someone from Hanjiang Trading Company coming straight towards him, he had to hold himself up and step forward tremblingly:

"All the officials have invited me, my family..."

"Go aside!"

What greeted him was a loaded musket.

Being pointed at the black hole with a gun, Ma Chaozi shivered and obediently stepped aside.

A corps leader led people to guard the door.

Zhang Guoyuan stepped over the threshold without stopping.

……

On a hot summer day, even though the sky is dark, lanterns are already hanging all over the streets.

But it still makes people unable to sleep.

The main hall is filled with a large table of seasonal seafood.

Simply blanched seafood is delicious as long as it is dipped in sauce.

Jiangyin relies on the vast Yangtze River, and residents have always made a living by going to the sea.

The wealthy families engaged in the smuggling business, and ordinary families could live a life of food and clothing by fishing.

There are many fishing boats and there is naturally a lot of seafood.

Because of this background, the dishes in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are famous for their "freshness".

A pot of fine wine, with a slight fragrance.

If you smell it carefully, it seems to have a light astringency and a sweet and sour taste, filling the hall.

It can be called a mixed bag of flavors!

Inside the wine glass, there is an amber color.

Astonishingly, she is from the generation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the best daughter Hong.

This set of wine glasses was not produced in Handu.

It is a local product of Ming Dynasty.

Li He of the Tang Dynasty once said: The glass bell is rich in amber, and the wine in the small trough is true pearl red.

Wang Hanyan: There is a luminous cup of grape wine. If you want to drink pipa, you will be reminded immediately.

In the Tang Dynasty, glass cups were still a treasured vessel sought after by officials and literati.

By the Ming Dynasty, glass products had entered thousands of households.

Folk medicine shops even use a large number of medicine bottles made of glass!

As for rouge gouache, it is very common to use glass bottles.

Yanshen Town, Zibo, Shandong Province, became the northern glass manufacturing center in the early Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty's internal prison even set up an external factory in Yanshen Town to specialize in manufacturing "green curtains"——

A door curtain made of blue glass beads strung together.

(This kind of glass bead door curtain was once very popular.

No wonder some people say - the trend is retro...)

Because of the light corvee and low taxes, the social development of the Ming Dynasty was very prosperous.

Not long after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, glass manufacturing experienced an explosion.

As a result, the outer factory in Yanshen Town was canceled and handed over to a local craftsman named Sun to be responsible for glass manufacturing.

Every year, the Sun family went to the capital with the goods they produced, and the imperial court purchased them.

In terms of glass manufacturing, the Sun family is as authoritative as the Lei family in the Qing Dynasty...

Chinese glass products always pursue jade-like color.

I especially like the bright colors. Multi-colored glass is melted on it to draw exquisite patterns with bright colors and profound meanings.

The jade-like texture is synonymous with fine glass products.

Although there is also transparent and pure glass, it is not popular with the mainstream.

Without a market, naturally not many people would do research.

This is the reason why glass products have been called "medicinal jade" since the Tang Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, glass was also called "Leyu".

In ancient China, regarding the manufacture of glass——

It is completely different from Handu glass products, which have always pursued transparency as clear as water.

This is because the Ming Dynasty Royal Optical Factory supported by Zhu Youjian requires a large amount of transparent glass.

In addition, Handu generally promotes the construction model of tall buildings and large windows, and the demand for transparent glass is too great.

With the market, there will naturally be motivation.

……

Gu Yuanbi was lying on the rocking chair with his upper body naked.

He had just woken up from drunkenness and his head was dizzy.

If he drinks too much at noon, he will feel weak.

Even the concubine beside him didn't bother to get started.

Lan Ningxiang, the concubine of the Qing Dynasty who had just bought it from Yihongyuan, fed the iced watermelon with the seeds removed into Gu Shoubei's mouth.

This is a new one bought in the yard, so naturally there is no ice in the ice cellar.

As for the method of making ice from saltpeter...

That's a profit-making move by the vendors.

I don’t even bother to use the wealthy compound!

"Master, it's time to eat."
