People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

"What a pity!"

On the other side, Qin Hui, who saw this scene, secretly felt sorry. He originally thought that the barbarians of the Mongols could clash with the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect that the other party would be soft in the end.

In another carriage, Princess Zhao Fujin of Maude also lowered the curtain and said with lingering fear: "I was really scared just now. I thought they were going to fight, but I didn't expect that the barbarians would retreat first."

Li Qingzhao on the side also nodded and said: "Indeed, although the Ming Dynasty is also one of the three major countries in the Central Plains, it is not comparable to our Song Dynasty in terms of strength. It is normal for everyone to lose the Mongols."

Originally, the Song Dynasty was the richest among the three major dynasties in the Central Plains, but since Wu Yu ascended the throne, it has been vigorously developing the economy, and there is no need to continue to support the royal family, so the current Ming Dynasty is no less economically than the Song Dynasty.

In addition to the existence of firearms, it can be said that the current Ming Dynasty is already the most powerful country in the world.

"By the way, Sister Ruoqiong, I wonder if you have noticed that when the Ming soldiers confronted the Mongols, they were not holding any weapons we know, but a kind of black tube." Zhao Fujin, who seemed to have thought of something, asked Li Qingzhao beside him with curiosity. "I have learned about this beforehand. I heard that their weapons are called flintlock rifles!" "Flintlock rifles?" This sudden strange name made Zhao Fujin, who had been in the deep palace since childhood and had never heard of anything outside the window, look confused. Li Qingzhao nodded, "Yes, that's the name, and they also call this kind of flintlock rifle hot weapons, while the swords, spears, halberds, sticks, etc. that we usually see are called cold weapons. It is said that the reason why the Ming Dynasty was able to defeat the Jin people on the grassland and the Western barbarians on the sea was because of this weapon. As for the original cold weapons such as swords and knives, except for the people in their own country and the constables in the yamen, they have almost been eliminated in other places, especially in the army. "

Li Qingzhao had done a lot of homework on the Ming Dynasty, one of the three major dynasties in the Central Plains.

Soon the convoy passed the city gate and entered the city.

"This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It is really different from the Tokyo of our Song Dynasty?"

After entering the Forbidden City, Zhao Fujin and Li Qingzhao seemed to have entered another world.

"And the ground is the same!"

Li Qingzhao pointed to the cement road and added.

In fact, it was not just the two women who were shocked. Even Qin Hui, who was always knowledgeable, could not help but be secretly surprised.

"Oh, sister Ruoqiong, look, it's the Westerners!"

Li Qingzhao hurriedly looked at the place where Zhao Fujin pointed, and sure enough, she saw two red-haired Westerners walking side by side.

"I heard that these Westerners are called red-haired ghosts in the Ming Dynasty. Since the Ming Dynasty lifted the maritime ban, more and more Westerners have come to the Ming Dynasty to do business."

"Who are they! "

Just when the two women were still surprised by the two Westerners, Deputy Envoy Liu, who was in charge of the team's safety, drew his sword and stopped a man who was about to approach them. Judging from his clothes, the other party should be a local.

"Deputy Envoy Liu, put away your weapons first!"

You must know that this is not their Tokyo. Casually using force will cause bad effects.

Qin Hui came to the man and said, "Young man, what do you want to do with us?"

"No, nothing, I just want to ask if you need a receptionist. I can lead the way for you."

Seemingly frightened by Deputy Envoy Liu's momentum just now, the young man said with a stuttering tone.

"Receptionist!"

The young man's words immediately made Qin Hui's eyes light up. He was originally thinking about what to do in this unfamiliar place, but he didn't expect someone to take the initiative to come to their door to be a guide.

"Then I wonder how much it will cost for you to be our receptionist? "

Qin Hui, who had made up his mind, asked hurriedly.

"Not much, only two hundred coins a day, don't think it's expensive, the price is the same in Beijing now."

"Young man is right, two hundred coins are not expensive!"

Qin Hui said and gestured to one of the guards. Seeing this, the man hurriedly searched for a long time, and finally took out one or two pieces of silver without copper coins.

Qin Hui hurriedly snatched it and handed it to the young man, "Young man, we don't have much change, only silver, the extra is considered as hard work fee."

The guide brother also quickly put it away after hearing this, especially after seeing the other party so generous, he patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, integrity is the most important thing in our business."

As he said, the guide brother also took out a few sacks and handed them to the guard who took the money before, which made the other party look confused.

Seeing that the other party was puzzled, the young man also patiently explained:"This is for you to tie to the horse's tail, otherwise you will be fined if the horse manure is left on the street, here!"

He pointed to a 40-year-old woman on the street not far away.

Qin Hui and others hurriedly looked over and saw the three words "Street Office" on the arm of the 40-year-old woman.

Although they didn't know the specific meaning of these three words, they could guess the general idea from the young man's words.

The other party turned around and left after they looked over, obviously because the guide knew that he couldn't be fined after taking out the bag.

After seeing the other party leave, Qin Hui quickly wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead. When he thought about how he was almost pulled by an old woman in front of so many people, he couldn't help but feel scared.

"By the way, where are you going? I'll take you there!"

After the guard tied the sacks to all the horses, the young man began to ask Qin Hui and others where they were going.

"Young man, we are going to the Honglu Temple. Please lead the way."

"So you are foreign envoys. What's the trouble? You just give orders for money."

When Qin Hui said they were going to the Honglu Temple, the young man immediately realized that these people were foreign envoys, because only foreign envoys would go to the Honglu Temple.

"Come with me!"

Seeing the young man start to lead the way, everyone in the caravan quickly looked at their prime minister, and after getting his nod, they followed him.

"By the way, I haven't asked you your name yet?"

The great prime minister Qin, who had turned into a curious baby along the way, remembered that he didn't know the other party's name yet?

"Your surname is Qin!"

"We are from the same family. My surname is Qin too. Maybe we were a family five hundred years ago."

"By the way, Brother Chen, what is that thing over there?"

Qin Hui asked curiously, pointing to the huge open-air square with more than a dozen black railroad tracks in the distance.

"You mean that? That's the train station. You can take a train from there to any provincial capital of the Ming Dynasty. It can carry thousands of people at a time, and the speed is very fast. Even if you go to the neighboring Dali Kingdom, it only takes five to six days."
