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

The glass oil lamp placed on the ground reflects the slight color of the cement road.

Li Chenglin held the oil lamp and was reluctant to put it down.

The warm glass lamp in his hand warmed his almost frozen fingers.

Li Chenglin smiled bitterly.

The half-glove that is lowered down to expose the fingers is convenient, but the fingers suffer!

I really don’t know how those brothers in the military survived.

People always worry about gains and losses.

Whenever he heard the news that his brothers who enlisted in the army at the same time were promoted to higher positions, Li Chenglin always thought about it——

‘If I had worked harder back then, wouldn’t I be the one who is blessed with glory today? ’

However, during the training camp, facing the daily drills in the army, I almost lost half of my life...

Li Chenglin is rejoicing again——

'Fortunately, I didn't join the army. Otherwise, wouldn't I have to be like this every day? ’

Man, what a complex multi-dimensional creature!

Li Chenglin finished his work and looked towards the alley.

The original glass oil lamps have all been extinguished.

His team has completed its mission.

Sure enough, in the darkness, the deputy captain's voice came: "Captain, our team has completed its mission."

Li Chenglin nodded, put down the oil lamp, and ran towards Baihu:

"Report!

Team 108 has completed its mission! "

"Go back to where you were and continue to wait for orders!"

The voices of hundreds of households sounded in the darkness.

"Yes!"

……

Liu Dong is a businessman who moved from Hunan to Handu.

He had several ships under his command, and because he and Wang Fuzhi had studied in the same private school, he became a small boss of the Hanjiang Merchant Group to help transport goods under Wang Fuzhi's guarantee.

There are many workshops around Handu.

The Handu factory, which at least uses hydraulic machinery, has very low manufacturing costs.

At the same time, due to the gathering of craftsmen, production tools have become more and more advanced.

The product is cheap and the quality is good.

Therefore, the goods produced in Handu are best-selling products throughout the country.

Liu Dong made money with the Hanjiang business group and built a two-entry courtyard in the inner city of Handu.

This is the largest mansion one can obtain as a civilian.

After doing business with the emperor and making money, Liu Dong supported all the decrees of Emperor Yongsheng.

Even when the Han capital's defense system was being established, he spared no expense to build a manor outside the city.

It was built entirely in accordance with the requirements of a military defense fortress.

Liu Dong gave his clerk a place to live in this village.

A corresponding number of matchlock guns were also purchased in full compliance with the defense requirements.

Liu Dong's doing this was tantamount to completely binding himself to the emperor.

However, he has no regrets!

Because doing business with the emperor is really worry-free!

There is no need to manage things up and down, and there is no need to deal with the exploitation of officials, as long as taxes are paid on time.

If you are robbed by bandits in other places, you can still get protection from the army.

Interests are always the best means to maintain stability.

People like Liu Dong who made money with the emperor would naturally transform into die-hard supporters of the emperor.

The New Year of the second year of Yongsheng's reign is here, so he naturally wants to live in the capital.

Tonight, the family had a New Year's Eve dinner and chatted until midnight.

When all the officials went to court, Liu Dong lay down.

However, he is not asleep yet...

suddenly--

The street lights that stayed on all night outside the house suddenly went dark.

"not good!"

Liu Dong pushed the woman next to him and whispered:

"Go get the gun, there's probably something going on!"

After that, he put on his cotton coat, got out of bed, lit the oil lamp, and prepared to take a look at the situation on the road...

……

Li Chenglin was waiting silently. Suddenly, on the second floor of a house opposite, someone lit an oil lamp, opened the window, raised the oil lamp to shine outside, and looked toward the street.

Obviously, this common person wanted to see what was happening outside.

"Brother on the second floor opposite.

Your Majesty has an order: Please turn off the lights! "

Li Chenglin shouted at the man.

This person is none other than Liu Dong.

Liu Dong was stunned.

His Majesty's will?

then it will be fine...

wrong!

Liu Dong's eyes flashed and he thought to himself:

Your Majesty has never extinguished the street lights, but today they all went out!

This is very wrong!

Could it be that someone wants to mutiny?

not good!

I can't sleep tonight!

I will hold a gun and keep watch all night. If something goes wrong, I will fire a warning shot.

Thinking of this, Liu Dong looked out and replied to the sergeant outside:

“Oh, oh, oh.

Okay, Master Jun.

Sorry, I don't know.

It’s going to go out, it’s going to go out…”

Liu Dong responded and hurriedly blew out the oil lamp.

The concubine who was married from the grassland walked to Liu Dong with a musket in her arms.

Liu Dong took a deep breath:

"Listen to me, if I shoot later, you will set our firewood shed on fire immediately!"

There wasn't much Liu Dong could do. Burning his home and trying his best to warn the emperor was the only thing he could do for the emperor!

The concubine wanted to ask again, but Liu Dong covered her mouth.

He lowered his voice:

"Maybe I made a mistake.

However, don’t panic. We have more than a dozen guys in our family, so we can’t cause chaos.

You go and quietly call the servants, hold the musket, and stay on the second floor.

If someone rushes towards our house after I shoot, fire a warning shot.

If you don’t listen…”

Liu Dong gritted his teeth:

"Then kill him!"

Liu Dong knew that with this order, if there was a mutiny, his family would be doomed.

However, he has no regrets!

If the emperor is gone, where can I find such a good job?

Only by keeping the emperor can we have a future for our family!

Besides - His Majesty has always made clear rewards and punishments, and he did this. As long as the emperor is fine, his son from his hometown will be taken care of by His Majesty!

With His Majesty's temperament, if I really helped His Majesty break up a mutiny...

His son will definitely be knighted!

He is a businessman.

Businessmen pay attention to giving and receiving rewards.

If his son could go one step further and enter the court...

He was willing to give up himself!

……

Li Chenglin leaned against the street lamp pole and touched the saber on his waist.

It was just normal duty today and no firearms were distributed.

He squinted his eyes. If the person opposite didn't listen...

I'm afraid there's going to be a danger...

In an instant, Li Chenglin's forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.

however……

On the darkened street again, there was the sound of windows closing.

In the dark distance, the shouts of soldiers from the Five Cities Army and Horse Division could be heard from time to time.

Obviously, he was not the only one who wanted to see the situation.

"call!"

Li Chenglin breathed a long sigh of relief.

There is no situation!

Lucky, lucky!

……

The entrance to the palace at noon.

The shouts of the courtiers gradually dissipated.

suddenly--

"look down!"

Someone pointed at the capital of Han Dynasty at the foot of the mountain and shouted.
