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

Wu Piaolin was in disbelief and asked someone to ask.

In the end, they just randomly sent a soldier and gave him a performance.

Just a person and a gun!

He actually calmly put up a posture outside the city...

With one shot, he killed a Qing soldier at the top of the city.

As for the densely packed soldiers at the top of the city, not only did they not dare to fight back, they even...

They all lay down on the top of the city and never dared to show their heads again!

……

The Qing Dynasty is over!

Even though Wu Piaolin saw it in a fog, he also knew that the Qing Dynasty had no chance of turning around.

He wanted to explore the inner reasons.

Along the way, we stopped and went, from North Zhili to South Sanfu, across the Yellow River, and all the way to Ye County.

Along the way, as we go deeper into the hinterland of New Daming, the population becomes more and more dense.

In Ye County, he met another group of people - the surrendered Ming army led by Gao Jie's widow Xing.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed in Yancheng (Luohe) near Ye County.

And Mr. Xing walked with him for a while.

From Xing's mouth, Wu Piaolin got another news - almost all of Gao Jie's remaining members were adapted by Emperor Chongzhen, except for a few who were killed.

Oh!

Now he will be called Emperor Yongsheng.

Because——the Ming Dynasty changed to Yuan Yongsheng.

The Xing family had a holy wish and passed through Ye County, and boarded the westbound steam train in Fangcheng.

Wu Piaolin was stunned outside the station.

He had never been able to imagine the scene in front of him - a lump of steel weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, galloping on the steel track like a galloping horse.

The huge whistle and the deafening "clang" sound overturned Wu Piaolin's knowledge of more than [-] years.

He continued westward.

After passing the Nanyang refugee camp, the official road turned into a flat road as smooth as a mirror.

A new road made of unknown material, similar to stone flakes, appeared underfoot.

Freshly cut rapeseed.

People along the road occupied half of the wide road and placed their harvested rapeseed on the road to dry.

Wu Piaolin looked around.

In the villages along the road, you can see a brand new masonry building from time to time.

Even the front facing the road is painted with white lime.

The hen sings after laying eggs, the dog barks viciously when he smells the scent of strangers, and when it’s time to eat, the smoke rises...

Wu Biaolin was shocked again.

This is a place where bandits were raging when refugees were still everywhere last spring!

Why did it turn out like this in just over a year?

Wu Piaolin was shocked and numb.

Follow the wide official road and continue westward.

Everywhere you can see groups of people repairing rivers and building reservoirs.

On a hot summer day, the sweaty servants were actually laughing and joking.

Even at meal time, the aroma of meat lingers in your nose.

Wu Piaolin couldn't figure out whether he was still in the world.

Continuing westward, passing Dengzhou, we finally arrived at the area directly under the jurisdiction of Handu, the new capital.

As far as the eye can see, there is a network of railways.

Trains spewing thick white smoke were running on the railway track.

Large trucks loaded with goods were driving on the wide roads that crisscrossed the area.

Occasionally, you can even see strange iron boxes that do not require human towing or oxen and horses to pull them, but they can spray thick air and rush past your ears.

I heard people say this is called a car...

From the slightly glazed car window, you can see that the people riding on the car are all made of silk and satin...

On the rear of the car, there are small gilt characters that read: "People's Livelihood Car".

When we arrived in Handu, there were workshops everywhere.

In fact, the endless workshop not only has tall walls, but also tall chimneys that spit out white smoke.

In the workshop, machines roared and people roared.

Horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts lined up to pull out loads of goods.

Wu Piaolin was shocked, shocked, and numb...

Continuing westward, you will see a wide artificial canal in front of you.

The road beneath your feet surrounds the canal.

Looking up, I saw an equally wide road on the other side of the canal, surrounding the inside of the canal.

Wu Piaolin stopped and looked around, seeing stone bridges with multiple piers and arches spanning both sides of the canal.

That bridge is extraordinarily high and extremely big!

There are also lampposts on the bridge.

I heard people say that every night, groups of people would stroll along the banks of the canal, chatting about everyday things under the dim street lights.

Large ships, also spewing white smoke, cruised along the canals and shuttled inside the bridges.

As the magistrate of a state, Wu Piaolin naturally knew that this canal would merge into the Han River in the south.

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor wants to use the Han River to build a new capital of the Ming Dynasty that is more magnificent than Xiangyang Iron City!

Wu Piaolin forgot his mission. He sent the convoy around the canal and headed north.

After traveling north for an unknown number of miles, a tall walled building appeared at the end of the field of vision.

That building is located on the side of Green Mountain.

This should be the new capital, right?

Wu Piaolin secretly guessed.

However, when he arrived, he discovered that the building with colorful pictures on the wall and the tall arch gate actually had a line of official script characters:

"Da Ming Royal University City."

Outside the entrance of the university town, there is a military barracks building with white walls.

A group of soldiers are training.

Wu Piaolin stopped.

Just listen to the sound of big leather boots tapping, and the shouts of "one, two, one, left, right, left" came.

Accompanied by the monotonous shouts, there was also a deafening chorus of shouts:

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"This is actually the legendary New Imperial College of the Ming Dynasty?"

Wu Piaolin was stunned.

At some point, he withdrew his shocked gaze and saw a green-painted street sign standing beside the stone bridge on the left.

With just one glance at the simple and clear road signs, Wu Biaolin could see where Han Capital was.

Oh!

It turns out that the capital of Han was in the mountainous area within the canal!

The convoy continued on.

Wu Piaolin looked at the new village with tall buildings everywhere, and at the lines of slogans painted on the walls...

Once again lost in thought.

"Edict of the Emperor of Heaven:

The legal property of the people is sacred and inviolable!

Holy Grace Village Announcement. "

……

"Edict of the Emperor of Heaven:

Protecting the family and the country is everyone's responsibility!

Tianen Village Announcement. "

……

"Edict of the Emperor of Heaven:

Huangen Village Announcement. "

……

"Edict of the Emperor of Heaven:

The collection standards are divided into: Jiangnan, Jiangbei, the average grain production value of paddy and dry fields, and the harvest amount per mu will be announced uniformly before collection!

This order will ensure the immortality of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be changed forever. Violators will be punished by the people!

Yongsheng first year order.

Tianen Village Announcement. "

……

Looking at these slogans, Wu Piaolin was shocked again.

Ever since we entered New Daming, we have seen slogans like this from time to time along the way.

However, except for the area around Gyeonggi, it is difficult to see clearly because the houses in various places are dilapidated and not evenly painted with plaster.

Wu Piaolin didn't care much at first.

However, when he entered the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi Province, he saw the uniform slogans and the prosperous people...

Wu Piaolin finally understood why His Majesty was able to rise again in a short period of time.

“If a country is for its people, why should we fear wind and rain?”

……

(ps: In the slogan part, the number of words has been added.

Brothers who are paying attention, you should be able to see that I have always used contrastive writing.

Because this is a group portrait, there are too many separate shots, making it very confusing to follow. This is the shortcoming of this writing method.

Some brothers will ask about that cool article again...

All I can say is sorry.

Since the Chinese New Year, I have been in the hospital almost all the time.

First, my son was hospitalized, and then my wife was admitted again. Just after being discharged, her grandmother had a car accident and has not yet been discharged. Her grandfather had a heart attack and is still in the intensive care unit.

Grandma here has just been discharged from the hospital, and my mother-in-law was diagnosed with uterine cysts.

Just after the operation there, my wife was diagnosed with ankylosing myelitis...

There is no specific cure for this disease, not even any medicine...

Because it was in the early stages, the doctor ordered me to focus on exercise.

Our two families are ordinary peasant families, and only your sister-in-law makes some money.

Alas, spending money is like running water...

This year, I can only try my best to keep this book updated. )
