The 316th chapter respects the emperor and seeks adultery, everyone is responsible(1/2)
Some readers have suggested that the recent articles lack the grand momentum of the times, and the historical showdown of light and decay. To sum up, it is probably a collision of people's hearts.
The times are thriving, right?
Well, my father-in-law also felt that there was something missing, but the soldiers of the personal army were all "persimmon oil party" level, so my father-in-law himself was a little better than Ah Q.
Moreover, what my father-in-law appreciates is not the reform itself, but the spirit of "Please, everyone!" and "I don't know whether we are crazy or stupid, but I only know how to run all the way forward."
In the words of Zuo Family Manure Shop in the capital, "Reform is related to my bird's business? Just don't just get rid of the manure of everyone."
As for the collision of people's hearts, my father-in-law still likes the old saying - "If you don't follow us, just follow the emperor."
Thanks to the "Brother Feng 98" boss for the continuous donation of silver.

"Is it a reform?"
At Zuoanmen, some people saw that the personal military soldiers who entered the city were strict in military discipline and did not violate the people at all. Gradually, they were brave and must read the "Huangming Daily" every day. Those who like to talk about the world on weekdays, who usually have nothing to do and take the initiative to go to the personal military soldiers on duty on the street and start chatting with them.
After receiving the affirmative answer from the personal army, those people became happy and surrounded the personal army soldiers. I told you how to reform and how good the law is, what good things are for the country and the people. What is the benefit of the people in the capital? The people in the capital have long been looking forward to the reform, so why didn’t the imperial army soldiers come to the city to reform earlier?
There was also the one who was full of energy saying that he knew where the treacherous ministers of the court lived, and if the imperial army had no objection, he could help lead the way.
However, the soldiers on duty seemed to be a little unaware of what these people were saying. They had never heard of what they said in the army on weekdays, but this did not affect the soldiers' efforts to straighten their chests and show their mental outlook proudly to the people of the capital.
Before entering the city, the officers asked the soldiers to show their most majestic and spiritual side, so that the people of the capital would be impressed by the Imperial Army soldiers.
With the spirit and the new cotton uniform, the soldiers of the Imperial Army indeed looked more capable than those guards and border soldiers.
"June, can we also participate in the reform?" Among the crowd, a ruffian who looked like he was a mixed oil looked at the soldiers with a serious look on his face. He was as if the other party said he could join the reform immediately.
But a person near this guy couldn't help but sneer: "Kong San, who doesn't know that you are a regular visitor in the yamen in the South Gate area? With your virtue, you can still maintain your reform? Besides, can the Imperial Army ask for a raspy reform like you? Do you know what reform is?"
"Why can't it be? Every man has a responsibility for the great cause of reform mentioned in the newspaper. Am I not a normal man?... Isn't reform a social improvement? Although I am illiterate, I can't listen to what the newspaper says in my heart."
Kong San glared at the guy with unhappy glance. If this guy hadn't been the beggar's head of the South Gate and had a gangster rogue under his command, he would have come forward to beat him up long ago.
Not far away, a group of vendors who had gotten up at night stood at the door of a shop together, pointing at the crowd at the city gate.
"Reform and reform, what is there to maintain? We will not pay taxes after the reform?" One of the elderly vendors sniffed. Anyone with some experience would know that the reform is beautiful and deceptive.
Someone next to him felt very much after hearing this, nodded and agreed, "That's right, don't listen to the beautifully written daily newspaper. This reform is an excuse for me."
"What excuse?"
"Give that eunuch Wei an excuse to usurp power."
"Is that true?"
"Why isn't it? I ask you, have eunuchs thought about the interests of the people and made any reforms for the court since ancient times?"
“Not really,”
"Of course not. This bullshit reform was just the one who made the eunuch Wei tricked the emperor and the people. Just take it seriously, just look at it."
"It doesn't seem to be what you said. The nursery rhymes are not singing, drinking and wearing mom. Will Mr. Wei pay food when he comes?"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man who was not very tall.
The vendor who had doubted the reform before and thought he had long seen the essence of the reform sneered: "Don't pay food? You dream, the people really don't pay food. What the officials eat and drink, what the soldiers eat and drink, what the emperors and concubines in the Forbidden City eat and drink?"
"That's right. It seems that this reform is just a fool... But judging from these soldiers' attitudes, the men in the city are probably going to be in trouble." Someone gloated.
The people like to hear and talk about the unlucky dynasty and the unlucky officials.
"So, are you going to take the door again? Which one is the Supreme Emperor this time?" Someone said "hehe".
"You don't know this?"
The person next to him stabbed the man and pouted: "That eunuch Wei is from the Zheng family."
"Oh, is it King Fu who took the door? Tsk tsk... It's so lively now. I didn't expect that the one who won the final fight for the country is still King Fu."
"Okay, stop talking, the soldiers are here!"
Someone noticed that several personal soldiers wearing the word "grid police" on their arms were walking towards them, and hurriedly reminded their companions to shut up so that disaster would come out of their mouths.
Everyone kept silent after hearing this. It was lively tonight, but after all, Qiu Ba entered the city. Even if everyone watches the fun, don't just go around yourself.
Everyone thought that the military police were talking about them and came to see what they said. Unexpectedly, the military officers led by the military police came over to give them their right hand and saluted them, and then said politely: "My fellow villager, we didn't bring much food when we entered the city. Do you have any food here? If so, we will buy them all."
After saying that, he took out a few real Wanli official silver and a dozen strings of copper coins, which meant that they would never take the people's things in vain.
This made everyone stunned.

"Sir, the Imperial Army has entered the city!"
Song Jingrui, the governor of the Nancheng Military Affairs Office, was the first to know that the personal army outside the city entered the city. The first thing he thought was not that it was broken, but that he was excited to jump out of his wife's quilt, grabbed her clothes and put on her shoes, and ran to the yamen not far away.
"I really entered the city, okay, okay, finally the reform is coming!"
Deputy Commander Meng called out this good news and was so excited that his legs were no longer sore and his waist stopped shaking: I am so happy, I hope the stars and the moon, and finally I hope the imperial army to enter the city!
"Hurry up, wake up and follow me to welcome the Imperial Army!"
Deputy Commander Meng danced and was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth. He couldn't be unhappy. As Eunuch Wei's first client, Deputy Commander Meng has devoted himself to bonds in recent years. Not only did he buy it at home, but he also brought the yamen to buy it together.
It doesn't count if he buys his own unit and is shameless, and he pays three o'clock to the Princess' Mansion. He finally obtained the qualification to be the general distribution of maritime bonds in the Nancheng District. In recent years, he has been in and out of hundreds of bonds, and the amount has been greater than hundreds of thousands of taels.
Therefore, Deputy Commander Meng is the most staunch supporter of maritime bonds, and naturally the most staunch supporter of the Imperial Army.
A while ago, there was a rumor in Beijing that the high-ranking officials of the court were going to overthrow Eunuch Wei, but Deputy Commander Meng was scared to death. He knew very well that if Eunuch Wei fell, the bonds would definitely collapse. Princess Shouning was a golden branch and no one dared to settle the accounts, but Meng Guozhong, a seventh-rank deputy commander, was not afraid of those people.
Now, the Imperial Army has finally entered the city!
Starting from today, all the affairs in Beijing must be followed by our Eunuch Wei!
For this moment, Deputy Commander Meng had been preparing for many days.
Song Jingrui let out a shout, and soon a team gathered together.
"Hang the banner at the yamen gate, and the surrounding streets and alleys were hung. The rest of the people followed Lord Meng with the band, and their hands and feet were quicker... hurry up..."
Sharpening the knife fruit does not delay the chopping of wood.
The Nancheng Military and Ma Si Yamen was busy for several days and finally used their hard work. In less than a stick of incense, the inside and outside of the Yamen were full of banners to welcome the Imperial Army into the city and support the Imperial Army's reform.
Half an hour later, the surrounding streets and alleys were also covered with banners, and some important areas, places where the Imperial Army must go, were also filled with colorful flags.
After the people from the Bingmasi Department informed them from door to door, thousands of people from the Nancheng area were mobilized to follow the Gong and Drum Team to the streets.
Accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, the people were shouting together.
"Welcome, welcome!"
"Restoration, everyone is renewed!"
"Respect the emperor and fight against traitors, and kill the traitors together!"
"The military and civilians are united and united!"
“……”
...........
The first to rush into Kyoko Factory was a squadron of the 12th Infantry Regiment, led by the squadron leader Kim Yinan, North Korean, with about 120 officers and soldiers carrying 80 flintlock muskets.
Their target is the Duke of England.
There were no armed forces from the capital along the way to intercept the squadron. They rushed to the Duke of England while blowing up the Meridian Gate with another force.
Before the British Duke's House's servants could react, the gate was smashed open by the officers and soldiers. Then there was a sound of gunfire, and more than a dozen Duke's servants who were trying to resist were shot and killed on the spot.
The 52-year-old British Duke Zhang Weixiangang had dinner with his in-laws and drank wine during the meal. So when the reform officers and soldiers rushed in, the Duke who was in charge of the Beijing camp was still sleeping soundly.
Although the British Duke's wife is 50 years old, she is also a child of a family of a hero. After 30 years, she has also developed courage. Seeing a group of soldiers holding guns to kill people at the Duke's Mansion and forcibly breaking into her husband's bedroom, she was standing in front of the soldiers on the spot.
"Pull her aside!"
Kim Yinan's goal was the Duke of England, and he received a task of finding and controlling the head of the hero who commanded the Beijing camp at all costs.
Therefore, he naturally could not let a female person block it.
Soon, the British Duke's wife was dragged aside by the soldiers. When the British Duke was moved by the movement outside and was about to get dressed, Kim Yinan and the others had already broken into the bedroom.
"Who are you? You dare to trek into my husband's mansion!"
The British Duke was also calm in the face of danger. He first wanted to know who broke into him, but the other party's military uniform was not familiar to him, so he was stunned.
Just here, the officer rushing in shouted at his British Duke: "Zhang Weixian!"
The loud shout made the British Duke stunned, because no one dared to call him that since he became the British Duke.
"Who are you? What do you want to do! Are you rebel?"
The British public was angry and angrily, but the soldiers were extremely indifferent to him, the head of the minister, and even stepped forward without hesitation and pressed him to the ground.
"You are Wei Yan's people!"
The British Duke finally understood who these soldiers were, and his heart was also panicked, because the ability of Wei Yin's army to appear in his mansion means that the capital had been seized by them.
He had never heard any cannon sounds outside the city, which showed that Wei Yin's men easily entered the city without any resistance.
