Time is August.
Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.
Yingtian City was filled with lanterns, and the whole country was at peace. Water transportation, sea transportation, and land transportation supported this prosperous metropolis.
Nowadays, every festival in Yingtian City is an unforgettable event. Products from all over the world were shipped to the capital, filling the daily operations of the city of the emperor.
Yingtian City now can be said to be the place with the largest variety of goods in the world. Gold and silver artifacts from as far away as the continent of Europa, as well as complex mysterious items, fill the streets and alleys of Yingtian City.
At Longwan Wharf outside the West City, boats race thousands of miles every day, hundreds of boats compete for the current, thousands of sails race across the river, and the walls climb like clouds. Near the trestles that stretch into the river, there are rows of merchant ships that have dropped their anchors.
Countless goods passed through Waijinchuan Gate and entered Yingtian City through Jinchuan Gate, Zhongfu Gate, and Yifeng Gate. It's just that there are so many goods now that the West City, which originally seemed empty and desolate in Yingtian City, now has many more warehouses besides the military camps.
And from Waijinchuanmen Longwan Wharf to the east, towards Shangyuanmen.
It is rumored that in order to relieve the pressure on Longwan Wharf and ease the traffic in Xicheng, Yingtian Mansion intends to dig out a larger wharf and cargo storage area outside Shangyuan Gate.
According to the wishes of the newly appointed magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture, the scale of Shangyuanmen Pier will be as large as ten Longwan Piers.
The entire northwest area of Xuanwu Lake will become a freight distribution center, handling massive amounts of goods every day, supplying the vitality of Yingtian City and delivering a steady stream of nutrients to the world.
He even wanted to re-drill a river from Shangyuanmen to Xuanwu Lake. According to the newly promoted magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture, the original river was so narrow that the imperial navy's drills in Xuanwu Lake were like naughty boys. It's like riding in a bathtub and playing in the water.
And this newly promoted magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture, who came from his heart and mind, returned to Beijing from Jiaozhi Road with the former Chief Envoy of Jiaozhi Road to report on his duties. Once his memorial was submitted to Wenyuan Pavilion, it was approved almost without any questioning.
So the prefect, as the parent official of Yingtian Prefecture, began to resist the days of land reclamation and river digging with explosives.
Today.
Ying Tianfu was notified early and requested to blockade the entire area from Jinchuan Gate to Waijinchuan Gate, blockade Longwan Wharf, and clear all official, commercial, and civilian ships on the trestle.
When Zou Xueyu, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, learned the news early in the morning, he was furious.
It was just before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and countless goods were waiting on the dock to be transported into the city. Now the court actually wanted to block the entire Longwan Wharf for a whole day, and the impact was inestimable to Yingtian Mansion.
"Master, this order is from the cabinet, and we don't dare not accept it. Longwan Pier is closed, and there is Dongshuiguan Pier in the south of the city that can be used temporarily. It's only a day's service. delay."
The promotion officer of Yingtian Mansion explained carefully to appease the anger of his master.
Zou Xueyu was far less old than Tui Guan, but he looked more majestic. Just by turning his neck, the officials in the surrounding government offices lowered their heads.
"What exactly are we going to do today?"
The cabinet's order was unquestionable. Zou Xueyu's eyes flickered and he asked why the Longwan Pier was blocked and emptied today.
The official lowered his head and spoke in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the troops and horses of the imperial court's eastward expedition left the dock today. Your Highness, the Emperor Taisun, personally set up an altar to point out the generals to show the strength of the army. .”
"Eastern Expedition?" Zou Xueyu frowned visibly.
The official sighed helplessly. As long as he lowered his head, he could see the mud on the legs of his master.
These days, due to the construction of Shangyuanmen Pier and the excavation of a wider river channel from Shangyuanmen Pier to Xuanwu Lake, the dignified magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture, who was from the third grade in Dahongpao, actually stayed in that large area all day long and now can only be described as deserted. He described the place he was in, but he didn't care at all about things above the court.
Zou Xueyu stopped and stood on the street looking at the noisy crowds around him. These were the people under his rule as the magistrate of Yingtian Prefecture.
The official and the remaining officials didn't know what the governor was going to do.
Zou Xueyu had already raised his legs and stomped on the ground a few times, shaking off a large piece of mud. Then he raised his head and looked at the official: "How is it? Did you hinder the official appearance? Did you bump into His Highness?" "
The official sighed helplessly: "Master Fu, just go to the pier. Who is Your Highness? I will not blame you, Mr. Fu."
The official said this, but in his heart he couldn't laugh or cry.
Today is the day when the imperial army sets out for the Eastern Expedition. The emperor's grandson will set up an altar at Longwan Wharf to cheer for the army. At that time, the scene will definitely be dominated by the meritorious military generals from the Metropolitan Government, followed by officials from the six departments and five temples.
Even if the Lord of his own house is a third-grade prefect of Gyeonggi, it is not enough to see him in such a scene.
Zou Xueyu nodded and continued to rush to Longwan Pier outside Waijinchuan Gate.
Before he passed the Waijinchuan Gate, he waved his hand and pointed to the side: "On both sides of the street, you are not allowed to throw away debris at will, and you are not allowed to park at will to obstruct traffic. We will build a public house here later to maintain order here."
The official became more and more helpless. Now the palace official was really thinking about it.
But no one dared to speak out against it. No one in Yingtian Mansion knew that the Master followed the man in Wenyuan Pavilion whom everyone respectfully called Mr. Xiao Gaoge.
Money should not be spent carelessly. The officials who followed Mr. Xiao Gaoge back from Jiaozhi Road were all good at calculating, and no one could benefit from it. But these superior officials can always find the right money and water at the right time to supplement everyone in the yamen.
These are people of great ability.
The promotion officer followed Zou Xueyu and waved to the clerk beside him, indicating to the other party to record down the Lord Fu Zun's opinions on the public security management of the streets behind Jinchuan Gate outside Yingtian City.
A group of people rushed to the dock one after another.
When Zou Xueyu rushed out of the city gate, a huge Longwan Pier that made him feel strange appeared in front of him.
Throughout the dock area outside the city gate, countless colorful flags and ribbons were fluttering in the river breeze.
Treasure ships and warships at the same height as Yingtian City were docked quietly on the trestle, but they were slowly rising and falling with the flow of the river.
Groups of Shangzhiqin military guards divided the dock area, but around and at high altitudes, there were countless people and merchants watching the court officials and officers and soldiers getting ready to go on the dock.
Similarly, those ships that were driven away from the dock would also lower their anchors upstream, and the crew and merchants would climb to the highest point of the ship and look at everything on the dock.
Under the city gate, on a simple high platform set up to worship the generals, the cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty appeared in front of people for the first time.
The position quietly said it all.
Zhu Yunxi stood in front of an altar table with tiger charms and swords. Behind him were Ren Hengtai and Xu Yungong, followed by Xie Jin and Gao Yangzhi.
As for Zhai Shan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who finally walked out of the Imperial Hospital, Yu Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Jun, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Ru Ru, the Minister of the Ministry of War, were all half a step behind the four people in front.
Further down, there are other officials from the six departments, five temples and three Dharma divisions.
The meritorious military generals of the country under the Governor's Mansion did not appear on the stage to pay homage to the generals today, because regardless of whether they were needed for the Eastern Expedition, all the meritorious generals in Beijing today went into battle and lined up in front of the stage to pay homage to the generals.
Behind the meritorious military generals, there were a small number of martial arts students uniformly wearing the exclusive training robes for martial arts students in the lecture hall. On the left and right sides and in the rear are the elite officers and soldiers of the Beijing Army Guards under the Governor's Mansion, and the Huben Division of the Imperial Guards.
The generals wore armor and stomachs that had followed them for more than thirty years, and carried the swords that drank countless blood, with fierce fighting spirit all over their bodies.
The eyes of the surrounding officers and soldiers were spitting out murderous intent all the time, as well as their deep yearning for military glory.
The people who appeared on the pier today were all members of the Eastern Expedition selected by the Metropolitan Government through layers of processes.
A total of 20,000 people will be the first batch of reinforcements to sail eastward to conquer Japan.
Led by Zhu Shou, Marquis of Junfu, he served as the commander-in-chief of the naval camp of the Eastern Expedition Army and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army, and went to Japan.
As for the Eastern Expedition Army, it was renamed from the original True Japanese Army. Not surprisingly, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong won the position of General of the Eastern Expedition and Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Expedition Army in the court, leading the entire Eastern Expedition to comprehensively manage the Japanese Empire. matters.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, Ren Hengtai held a gorgeous Eastern Expedition decree in his hand. With the help of several loudspeakers, he shouted to the soldiers on the entire dock, conveying the will of the emperor and the court.
The decree was more about explaining the procedural justice of the Ming Dynasty's eastern expedition to the Japanese country, and the Japanese country's serious crimes, so much so that the Ming Dynasty had to send troops to conquer the country in order to maintain peace in this beautiful world.
After Ren Hengtai finished reading the beautifully worded decree, he asked Jie Jin in a low voice: "Who wrote this decree? It's pretty good."
Xie Jin turned his head away from his chief assistant and hummed in a low voice: "I asked the governor of the general affairs envoy Si Yamen to write it."
Ren Hengtai was stunned for a moment, and then stopped discussing this with Xie Jin. Instead, he rolled up the imperial edict and carefully placed it on the altar table behind Zhu Yunxi.
Finally, he came behind Zhu Yunxi and said: "Your Highness, I will cheer for you at this point to strengthen the morale of the army."
Zhu Yunxi's eyes flickered for a moment.
The colorful flags in front of him seemed to form a dreamy scene in front of his eyes.
Deep in the picture, there are countless things that are familiar to me but are becoming increasingly unfamiliar.
When the voice of the chief minister of the cabinet reached his ears, he woke up from his dream.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the army gathering in front of him, ready to attack. As time went by, the number of times he saw those dreamy scenes became less and less.
He turned around and took the tiger talisman and sword on the altar table with his left and right hands respectively, then turned around and walked to the general worship platform.
"Eastern March! I will wait for you with the title of King!"
The promise of becoming a king.
Just one sentence instantly ignited all the soldiers, and there was no need for more words of encouragement to boost the morale of the soldiers.
Marquis Zhu Shou shook off his robe from the audience. The wind blew his robe, making him look like an undefeated God of War as he stepped onto the stage from the audience.
Plop.
Zhu Shou clasped his hands in his fists, got down on one knee, and knelt heavily on the platform before His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun.
"I hope you will be victorious in every battle!"
"I hope you will return in triumph!"
"I hope you and others are safe and sound!"
Zhu Yunxi extended his highest blessing, and then sent the tiger talisman and sword in his hand to Zhu Shou's raised hands, which had been prepared for a long time.
Woo woo woo...
Dongdongdong...
On the entire outer Jinchuan Gate city wall, countless horns and war drums sounded at the same time.
A cannon with a thick mouth is assumed to be on the shore, venting the Ming Dynasty's high-spirited and invincible fighting spirit toward the sky.
Cannons roared.
Officers and soldiers began to board the ship.
The first to board the ship were the officers and soldiers selected by the guards of the Beijing army, then the men and horses of the imperial guards, and finally the generals at all levels in the army and the hundreds of people who were about to graduate but were sent away by a military order from the governor's office. The martial arts students at the Kungfu Hall on the front lines of Japan.
Finally, Zhu Shou boarded the largest flagship warship.
A bright red shirt floated into people's sight from the bow of the ship.
The naval warship docked on the trestle loosened the fixed rope and took out the anchor that sank to the bottom.
Long blasts of horns emanated from the warships, echoing the blasts of horns, drums, and artillery on the pier.
As the fleet slowly sailed toward the center of the river, the people watching around the dock burst into loud cheers. Everyone was sending their purest blessings and expectations to the Eastern Expedition army.
Zhu Yunxi looked back at the cabinet and officials from the six ministries on the stage of worship.
"Everyone..."
Taisun's slow call made everyone present bow and bow.
Zhu Yunxi gently patted the altar table with his palm: "I think the so-called people's will is what I see at this moment. Everyone, what do you think?"
Officials all agreed.
As expected, Zou Xueyu, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, who was squeezed in at the back, stood on tiptoes and looked up at the emperor's grandson in front of him, feeling mixed in his heart.
He had met His Highness Taisun when he was on Jiaozhi Road. At that time, Taisun was still leading the charge, but now he has grown to the point where he can destroy an entire region with a wave of his hand.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and tapped his knuckles three times on the altar table: "In this case, let's all disperse. Focus on the government, the New Deal, and the Eastern Expedition. The Ming Dynasty can grant kings to meritorious soldiers, or let you Waiting to rest with the country."
…
boom!
The latest artillery piece from the general supervisor burst into Li Jinglong's ears with a huge roar and fire, followed by thick smoke, which instantly enveloped him and Tie Xuan.
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Li Jinglong spat one after another, then pressed his palm on the handle of the knife at his waist, looking at the two armies fighting at the foot of the mountain in front of him.
"Tell the Yoshinoya people to send another five thousand people to attack. If they don't attack the city today, the Ming army's artillery fire will fall on them!"
Tie Xuan nodded silently and waved his hand to the herald in front of the formation to convey the general's order.
This is a strategy to drive away wolves and devoured tigers.
Use the lives of the Yoshino family of the Southern Dynasty to maximize the power of the Ashikaga family of the Northern Dynasty.
A clear conspiracy.
If the Yoshino family faithfully fights for the battle with every life, then Daming will always be their most solid ally. If the Yoshino family is disobedient, the Ming army who has been behind the battle line will become the burial of the Yoshino family.
"Tell them again that as long as they can rush to the city wall, we can break the city wall and allow the Yoshino family to occupy the city alone for three days to rest and recuperate."
Li Jinglong added, looking at the city with a population of only thirty to fifty thousand people at the foot of the hillside.
With these words, the people in this city will never leave this city again.
