Xia Chengde was very surprised to hear that there are still people who hate this Divine Power One so much?
What's happening here?
To be honest, he was very curious and wanted to see who was talking?
Xia San obviously heard it too, and immediately became excited. He immediately leaned into Xia Chengde's ear and asked in a low voice: "Master, who are these people?"
"Shh!" Upon hearing this, Xia Chengde immediately raised his finger to his mouth and signaled in a low voice.
When Xia San saw it, he retreated to his own side and listened with pricked ears.
"I heard that there will be more in the future, including Divine Power No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and so on!"
"What? Just one Shenli No. 1 has already made us like this, and you want more? Isn't this just killing them all?"
"Damn it, if you destroy our jobs, we will also destroy this damn thing!"
"That is, to cut off people's money is to kill their parents. This hatred is irreconcilable!"
"..."
Hearing this, Xia Chengde suddenly realized that the people complaining outside the wall must be the horsemen taking the line from Tongzhou to the capital, right? He must be someone who is good at carriages and horses!
Yes, it must be them!
According to the previous information, if Shenli No. 1 is so powerful, he will definitely steal the business of the carriage and horse racing company. It would be strange if they don't resent him!
"Don't mess around, that's something created by Xingguo Gong. If we dare to touch this Divine Power No. 1, we will no longer have a foothold in the Ming Dynasty!"
"That's right. Didn't the imperial court say that we should be given priority in recruiting people like that to join the engineering corps? We can get military pay, and it won't make it impossible for us to survive!"
"What can I do as a big-headed soldier? Whoever wants to go can go. I don't want to do that kind of work anyway. Isn't it too tiring?"
"That's right, it is said that most of the engineering soldiers were transferred from the prisoners of war. Can we work with them?"
"Those people don't have military pay. If we go there, we can get military pay. It's different!"
"..."
There was a quarrel outside, and the sound got louder and louder, which made Xia Chengde know more about the situation. What kind of engineering soldiers did those people who were captured by the Ming army in the Battle of Ningyuan become? What does this unit do?
Can prisoners still be heroes?
it's wired!
He was thinking when suddenly, a strange voice came: "Beep..."
When Xia San heard this, he quickly approached Xia Chengde and whispered: "Master, the Shenli No. 1 is back!"
When Xia Chengde heard this, he heard the sound outside before he could speak.
"Look, another back and forth so quickly is driving us to a dead end!"
"What else can you do? Do you still want to rebel? Today's imperial officers and soldiers kill prisoners just like killing chickens. You want to try it!"
"Forget it, forget it, while we only have this Divine Power No. 1 now, hurry up and get some work! It's over, it's over!"
"..."
Then, Xia Chengde heard footsteps outside, and it was clear that the group of people traveling by car and horseback began to disperse.
So, he quickly paid for the tea and hurried out of the tea shop.
In front of Xia Chengde, he saw a group of people dressed in carriages and horses, dispersing. And in the distance of the sight, there was a strange thing, spraying thick smoke into the sky, making a strange "hole-in-hole" sound, and was slowing down, approaching the so-called train station.
What caught his eye very much was that this Divine Power No. 1 was like a long centipede, but it had no legs, but it was segmented one by one, with ten segments in total.
In the first two sections, people were standing. The eight carriages at the back were filled with cargo.
Xia Chengde was really shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
Carrying so many people and goods, it only takes two hours to go back and forth from Tongzhou to the capital. How on earth is this done?
As a soldier who has been in the army for many years, Xia Chengde immediately thought of the military.
If this Shenli No. 1 spreads throughout the Ming Dynasty, if all the imperial troops mobilized in the future were to ride on such strange things, the marching speed would be even faster than the speed of a probing horse!
What’s even more terrifying is that if it is used to transport supplies and food, how much food and grass can be saved and how many cannons can be transported?
All along, fighting has actually been about logistics.
If we could save the food consumed on the road, how many times more troops would we need?
…
After thinking about it, Xia Chengde was really stupid!
This kind of sharp weapon is really an important weapon of the country!
Xia Chengde could imagine that after the Ming Dynasty had such a monster, as long as the stalemate with the Qing Dynasty continued, over time, the Ming Kingdom would definitely win and the Qing Dynasty would be destroyed!
Thinking of this, for some reason, Xia Chengde broke out in a cold sweat in this almost November weather!
The benefits brought by this monster are so many times more important than the complaints from the carriage dealers just now!
Xia Chengde can completely imagine that no matter how many people from these carriage shops complain or even cause damage, as long as the people in the court have their heads not caught by the door, they will never throw away such powerful things to appease a mere carriage shop. people!
"No, we must do something!" Xia Chengde thought in his heart, and couldn't help but whisper to himself, "We must not sit still and wait for death!"
Xia San, who was standing next to him, heard what he said, and an idea flashed in his mind, so he approached him and whispered to him: "Master, how about we use those people from the horse and carriage industry to work for us?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Chengde turned to look at the people driving by. At this time, a lot of it had dispersed. He weighed in his mind that if they just relied on them to inquire by themselves, it would definitely not be very convenient, and they would definitely need to develop offline people to get things done!
However, this is the pass after all, and every step must be taken with caution.
He was thinking about it when suddenly, he heard someone shouting: "Catch the thief, where are you running? Ah, stop him quickly..."
Almost everyone who heard the movement turned their heads to look. I saw three monks chasing a well-dressed young man. Along the way, there were many pedestrians, and when they were chased, it was like a whirlwind!
Most passers-by dared not care about this matter and retreated to both sides of the street to avoid it.
The thief in brocade clothes, holding a package in his arms, kept sneaking into the crowd, so that the three monks chasing behind him, although they were tall and powerful, could not catch up, and they screamed in panic.
"Master, that's not..."
Xia San was shocked when he saw it and quickly said to Xia Chengde.
But before he finished speaking, Xia Chengde sternly interrupted: "Shut up!"
After saying that, although he saw the thief coming towards them, he immediately pulled Xia San and hid aside!
"Master, isn't that the eldest son of King Huaishun?" Xia San couldn't help but reminded Xia Chengde in a low voice, "Why don't we help?"
Xia Chengde had a sullen face and shouted in a low voice: "Shut up and talk about it when you get back!"
At this time, he already understood that the regent not only sent him to enter the border, but also at least Geng Jimao.
Since both parties don’t know in advance, it’s better not to meet!
After all, among the crowd, there are still people who act bravely and fight against injustice.
The thief in robes was running away when suddenly several people appeared in front of him and stopped him in front of him: "Stop!"
The thief in brocade clothes was dumbfounded when he saw that the people in front of him were blocking the road ahead, and there was no place to escape on either side.
Among the three monks behind, one of them was naturally Geng Jimao. He caught up with him panting and shouted: "Little bastard, where are you running away from?"
Seeing this scene, there is a type of people that has been indispensable throughout the ages, namely curious onlookers.
"Hula", a large group of people who had been unable to escape just now, seeing this situation, they all gathered around and formed a big circle to watch the fun.
Xia Chengde was also curious about what would happen in the end, so he hid on the periphery and watched the situation.
The thief in brocade clothes seemed to be a veteran. Seeing this situation and unable to escape, he calmed down and shouted immediately: "What are you doing, what are you doing? Why are you stopping me?"
After he finished speaking, he pointed at the three monks Geng Jimao and said: "This parcel belongs to me. They are not monks at all. You have wronged a good person!"
Upon hearing this, Geng Jimao and others immediately turned pale. I kept thinking, how could this person know his identity?
Thinking this, they winked at each other and prepared to fight and escape.
The three people who were blocking him were stunned when they heard what the thief in brocade clothes said. They didn't understand what was going on.
When the thief in brocade clothes saw it, he immediately secretly rejoiced and said quickly: "My young master's property was accidentally seen by these three monks. Seeing the money, he wanted to steal my young master's property. Fortunately, my young master escaped quickly and was not caught by them." He succeeded, but in the end he was framed as a thief. It really confuses right and wrong! Is there any law in the world?"
"..." Upon hearing this, the crowd of onlookers immediately sympathized with this "thief" in brocade clothes, and turned to look at the three monks.
But when Geng Jimao and others heard this, they felt relieved. It turned out that if their identities were not revealed, then everything would be fine.
So, Geng Jimao sneered and said: "You are so stubborn! You obviously stole the old... monk's package, but you still dare to slander the old monk. Do you know what is in this package?"
Inside that package was half of the activity funds Dorgon gave him. This was a large sum of money. If it was accidentally stolen, he would naturally take it back.
Originally, he wanted to say it was Lao Tzu, but he quickly came to his senses and realized that he was now a monk, so he quickly changed his mind. Although the old monk is right, he is only less than thirty years old, so he is a little strange.
The thief in brocade clothes was obviously a smart man. After hearing this, he did not hesitate and sneered: "This is the property my family gave me for business. What's wrong?"
Seeing that he was still arrogant, Geng Jimao sneered and said, "Come on, tell me how much property you have and what exactly it is? You said it was your property, can you tell me?"
