At dawn, Zhu Yixi and others calmed down and made many arrangements.
The arrangement of the army is the key.
"Your Highness, many of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who surrendered in the city are from the Beijing camp, and those nobles have a great influence."
Sun Changzhou had to remonstrate.
"I know!"
Yawning, King Yu nodded and said: "So we must guard them, collect their weapons, and prevent chaos."
"However, I'm afraid they don't dare to be presumptuous!"
Although the navy and cavalry battalion have gone to Zhenjiang, he still has tens of thousands of people under his command, which is not worth mentioning against the arrogant Beijing camp.
However, when mentioning the Beijing camp, Zhu Yixi immediately thought of the future situation in Nanjing: How should the army that protects Nanjing be composed?
The Janissary Battalion and the Firearms Battalion combined totaled no more than 20,000 people, which was nothing more than water for Nanjing.
The power that belongs directly to the monarch must have advantages to prevent local enlargement.
During the Chongzhen period, in order to quell the rebellion, Emperor Chongzhen continuously drew troops from the capital camp and formed a large army, thus leaving the capital empty and basically relying on local diligent kings.
Of course, this is because the Beijing camp was so corrupt that the court had no intention of rectifying it.
"Go to sleep!"
Zhu Yixi waved her hands and said, "Let's rest for a few hours to recharge our batteries."
Having said that, Zhu Yixi did not rest for a moment, directly washed his face and began to inspect the defense of Nanjing City.
Just like what he said, the nobles are not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also have no courage. They are a bunch of wastes who dare not exert any influence at all and are slaughtered by others.
Obviously, after two hundred years of pampering, they have become useless.
When the summer sun radiates into Nanjing again, shops have opened their doors one after another in the streets and alleys, and Huizhou merchants have taken the general idea and opened their doors.
The stability of the market has alleviated the anxious public sentiment.
Even when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the city, they were very polite and did not cause any damage. Now the King of Yu is no exception.
Too much political influence.
Li Laosan peeked through the window and saw more and more people on the street. It didn't look like there was a military disaster.
"Master, how are you?"
the mother-in-law asked cautiously.
"Can't see clearly!"
Li Laosan muttered: "There are not a few people here, but there are a lot of them."
"This is really strange." The mother-in-law said in surprise: "Logically speaking, no one is going out at this time!"
The couple set up a breakfast stall, selling steamed buns, steamed buns, and tea. However, if they didn't do anything for one day, they would lose a lot of money. The cost was too high.
Suddenly, a shout came from outside the door:
"Li Laosan's family, the price of grain has dropped today, only 30 cents per bucket -"
"What?"
The mother-in-law suddenly raised her voice and shouted: "Sister-in-law Wu, don't lie to me. How can you get it so cheap?"
Sister-in-law Wu shouted outside the door: "Why are you lying to me? The market is very lively. The prices of food and vegetables have dropped. I have to buy quickly!"
"Yeah?"
The mother-in-law forgot her fear in an instant, picked up the vegetable basket from the stove, and prepared to run out.
"You silly bitch, there are big soldiers outside, they will snatch you away later!"
Li Laosan quickly grabbed her and cursed.
"This..." The woman's chest was heaving, and her face was full of fear.
"Li Laosan, if you are young, don't scare others. There are people everywhere outside, including Cripple Zhang. Are you still afraid that you can't outrun him?"
Sister-in-law Wu put her hands on her hips and cursed outside the door.
When Li Laosan heard this, he was trembling with anger. How could he be a woman's opponent for such a thing as scolding?
"Master, there is not enough food in the rice vat..."
After hearing this advice, Li Laosan stepped down from the stage: "Go ahead, go ahead, the whole family cannot starve to death."
After a while, the mother-in-law went out with the vegetable basket.
Li Laosan carefully walked out of the door and saw the streets were bustling with people, just like before.
What is weird is that the streets today are much more peaceful, and many messy things have not happened at all.
Moreover, what surprised him was that an army with yellow silk sleeves and waist knives lined up and marched slowly.
It looked around with bright eyes, as if looking for something.
Seeing that others were accustomed to it, he felt relieved and set up a stall.
Even after breakfast, he still had to sell some tea, and he couldn't waste half a day doing business.
Make tea, wash teacups, and set the table.
After working for half an hour, the fragrance of tea floated and could be smelled in half the street, and new and old customers slowly gathered.
"What's the difference between this King of Yu and the Qing people?"
"It's no different, just a little stricter."
"Nonsense, when the Qing Dynasty comes, our Nanjing will become Jiangning. When the King of Yu comes, our Nanjing will still be the capital of the Ming Dynasty."
A scholar in a half-worn gown shook his head and said.
"Can the emperor's feet be the same?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
This is the dignity of the capital and a matter of face.
"What, how about tea?"
Suddenly, a big man with a sinewy face came swaggering in with his clothes open and his chest hair exposed.
Behind him were two big men, looking majestic.
"Li Laosan, you haven't paid the monthly payment yet?"
Putting his foot on the bench, the big man with hairy chest yelled, with a fierce look on his face.
"Here, Boss Hu, didn't you pay it at the beginning of the month?"
Li Laosan came tremblingly, holding a teapot in his hand, and his whole body shrank by a few inches in an instant.
"Look what you said."
Boss Hu shook his head and said loudly: "At the beginning of May, it was still the Qing Dynasty. Now that the Ming Dynasty is back, how can it count?"
"Is it possible that you, Li Laosan, are loyal to the Qing people?"
After hearing this nonsense, everyone looked at him angrily, but remained silent.
Which gang can survive in Nanjing without a backer?
"Boss Hu, business has been bad recently and I really have no money!"
Li Laosan shrank his neck and begged.
"No money? What business do you do?"
Mr. Hu smiled grandly, waved his hand and said, "Brothers, smash this guy's stall and teach him a lesson."
Immediately, there was a crackle, a large number of tables and chairs fell down, and the scene was in a mess.
Li Laosan looked at it and wanted to cry but had no tears.
"what happened?"
Suddenly, a group of troops with yellow silk arms came over, which shocked everyone.
"Master Jun, this guy won't pay his debts. I'm asking for money!"
Boss Hu hurriedly bent down, and a bad guy came to complain first.
"Really?" The soldier stared at the huddled Li Laosan with burning eyes.
Under the threat of Boss Hu's gaze, Li Laosan flinched and could only nod.
"Do you think I'm blind? I saw clearly before, and you still want to fool me?"
The soldier looked at Boss Hu who was smiling apologetically and sneered:
"Catch these people for me."
As he said this, Boss Hu and several of his younger brothers were caught instantly, their faces full of astonishment.
"Master Jun, I am from the Lingbi Marquis Mansion (Tang Guozuo, descendant of King Tang and Dongou)..."
"I don't care what the prince's mansion is. Now the city of Nanjing belongs to King Yu."
With that said, the big man looked at Li Laosan and said: "These villains, there is no need to be afraid of them, come with me to the Yamen now!"
"Yamen?" Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. Isn't this a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
"I'm very afraid. Now the Yamen is occupied by the Military Justice Department. If you have any grievances or old cases, you can come here."
The big man shouted: "The King of Yu is coming, the blue sky is coming, the new Ming Dynasty is coming -"
As soon as he said this, everyone became curious and followed him to the Yamen.
Sure enough, a large circle of people gathered here at some point.
What surprised Li Laosan and others was that almost all the young gangsters on the streets of Nanjing were being detained, and they were all dejected.
"King Yu, the sky is really blue!"
Li Laosan murmured, looking at the blue-white sky, feeling inexplicably excited.
