Chapter 270 Good luck, time to travel
The little leader on duty in the city ran to the government office in panic and reported: "Sir, there are many Dayu cavalry coming outside the city. Looking at their menace, they seem to be coming with bad intentions!"
"Dayu's cavalry?"
The county magistrate of this city was blank for a moment after hearing what the soldiers said. What the hell are Dayu's cavalry?
"We don't seem to have any conflict with Dayu, do we? What do they want to do when they come to us? Or are you mistaken and mistaking the Jurchens for Dayu's cavalry?"
The little leader who came to report saw that the county magistrate did not believe him, and his face turned pale with anxiety, "Sir, the Jurchens and Dayu's costumes are different. How can we admit our mistake? This is really Dayu's cavalry!"
The county magistrate was still a little unconvinced and asked again to confirm, "Is it really the cavalry of Dayu?"
The little leader nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, it's Dayu's cavalry. If they attack the city, can we fight back?"
The county magistrate stood up, walked out from behind the desk, and pushed away the little leader who was standing in front of him, "In that case, then hurry up and go to the city wall to see what's going on!"
After that, he took off the knife from the knife holder and walked out first.
The little leader looked around the study room and immediately followed him out.
After climbing up the city wall, a defender immediately pointed at the cavalry outside the city and said, "Sir, look, those are undoubtedly Dayu's cavalry!"
The county magistrate was still breathing, so he looked in the direction pointed by the defender.
Excuse!
The magistrate had just climbed up and stood firm. When he saw the situation outside the city, his legs softened with fright and he almost knelt down.
Fortunately, the defender standing nearby supported him, otherwise the county magistrate of the city would have knelt down in front of the enemy, which would have been really embarrassing.
It's dark outside the city, and it's unclear how many troops there are!
"How many of Dayu's cavalry have come? This is too. You think highly of me!"
"Sir, I don't know how many are behind you. With the cavalry in front, there must be between and . The garrison in our city is less than . How can we fight this defensive battle?" The little leader also climbed up at this time. He came up, listened to the county magistrate's words, and took over the conversation.
"Bah!"
This time the county magistrate was so frightened that he sat on the cold ground. Feeling the coldness of the ground, the magistrate wanted to cry without tears.
"Sir, are you alright?"
The little leader and the defenders helped the county magistrate up.
The county magistrate pointed to the outside of the city with trembling hands, "You, you, go and ask them why they came to Goguryeo for no reason. Our two countries have always maintained a well-disciplined attitude in the past. Why is it an exception this time?"
"Yes, sir!" the little leader agreed.
-
outside the city.
Sha Yuliang, who was standing in front of the army, naturally noticed the red official uniform on the city wall.
"This has finally alarmed the talkers in the city!"
The cavalry sent by Yanmen Pass was commanded by Cong Guanglei's deputy Hu Daxi. According to Xia Jing's order, the cavalry commanded by Hu Daxi at Yanmen Pass must cooperate with Sha Yuliang in the battle.
At this moment, after listening to Sha Yuliang's words, he said in a good mood: "It should be so, General Sha. How do you think these Goguryeo generals who are cowarded will respond? Should they open the door and surrender, or resist to death?"
Sha Yuliang squinted at the people on the city wall and shook his head: "I have never dealt with people from Goguryeo. If you ask me to guess, to be honest, I really can't guess. Let's wait and see and see them. How will we handle this crisis?"
As soon as he finished speaking, they discovered a basket hanging from the city wall with a rope, and a person sitting on the basket.
The two looked at each other, and Sha Yuliang said: "The messenger is here."
After the man reached the ground, he came out of the basket, ran over, and stopped three meters away from them.
"Are you Yu's cavalry?"
Sha Yuliang and Hu Daxi looked at each other.
Hu Daxi replied: "Yes, we are Dayu's cavalry!"
The soldier who sent the message asked again: "Our Lord asked me to ask, our two countries have always been in harmony with each other. What do you, Chen Bing, mean here today?"
"Hey! Are you sending someone to question us?" Hu Daxi stared at the person standing in front with a half-smile.
The messenger soldier was stared at so hard that he shook his head and said, "Don't dare! We adults are afraid of misunderstandings, and we sincerely want to find out the reasons and resolve the misunderstandings!"
Ying Wei Zhong, who was sitting a step behind on horseback, listened to the other party's question and seemed to have anticipated what Hu Daxi would say. He really wanted to facepalm. He had never done anything like buying or selling by force since joining the imperial court. .
Hu Daxi didn't notice Ying Weizhong's expression. He turned to look at Sha Yuliang: "General, do you think Goguryeo is funny or not? They protected our imperial prisoners of Dayu, and now they actually come to tell us that the wells of the two countries are What’s the point of not violating the river’s water?”
As he spoke, he turned back, glared at the messenger soldiers, and glared angrily: "A small country actually dares to only allow the Zhou officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps. This is not how double standards work!"
The soldier who sent the message was confused: "What kind of crime did Yu the Great invade?"
Hu Daxi laughed loudly after hearing this: "Haha. Don't tell me, General. Don't you Goguryeo know that Tan Lang and others are the criminals of our great Yu? How dare you take them in? Is this what you call water in a well and water in a river?"
The soldier who sent the message did not know about the affairs of the imperial court, so he wrote it down silently.
He raised his head and looked at Sha Yuliang, and finally his eyes moved to Hu Daxi, "I don't know about this matter. I will report it to your Excellency. Your Excellency also asked me to ask, what do you want to do before you are willing to withdraw?"
"Retreat? It's not easy for us to send troops. How can we retreat so easily!" After saying that, Hu Daxi curled his lips and sneered: "If you want us to retreat, I will give you two options at the moment. One, hand over Tan Lang and others. , let’s forget about it and retreat whenever we see people. Second, it’s not easy for us to go on an expedition. If you don’t want us to harm you Goguryeo, you must compensate us tens of thousands of tons of grain and grass, and we can also retreat immediately!”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention the messenger soldiers who were surprised, even Ying Weizhong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this. The reason was so high-sounding that even he didn't feel embarrassed after hearing it, and felt quite justified. .
The messenger soldier got the message and bowed to everyone, then trotted back.
Hu Daxi shouted at his back: "I'll give you one day to think about it. I want to get an answer before the sun comes up tomorrow morning, otherwise, we will attack the city tomorrow!"
You know, Goguryeo's cities were all built in imitation of Dayu's cities. In terms of quality and scale, they were all copycat versions of Dayu's cities.
The city walls are not as strong as Dayu's, and they are not as tall as Dayu's walls. It is easier to capture their city than it was in Dayu.
Speaking of imitation, the Goguryeo royal family during this period was particularly lazy and too lazy to use their brains. Their laws copied Dayu's, as did their architecture, and their official promotion system was all the same as Dayu's.
The next day, before the sun rose, the county magistrate in the city was asked a multiple-choice question that was not difficult to choose. He chose to pay tons of grain and grass and respectfully send Dayu, the Yama's cavalry army, away.
If you want to ask for his life, go ask for it elsewhere. Anyway, don’t ask for his life!
Sha Yuliang got ten thousand tons of food and grass for nothing, and he was in a good mood and ordered the team to turn their horses and head east.
The Jurchen people's gathering place is Yilou, which is about a few hundred miles east. With this batch of food and grass, they don't have to worry about food and grass in the next half month.Xia Jing, who was far away in the capital, didn't know that her strong generals had taken care of some of the food and grass by themselves.
The railway from Yuzhou to Jiankang was built, and the train ran on trial for half a month. Officials of the Jiankang court finally couldn't wait any longer and set a date for moving the capital.
Even if Xia Jing no longer wanted to live with Li Jingfu, she had to ask the palace officials to clean up the emperor's living room for the sake of her son.
As for the other dormitories in the harem, I'm sorry, but no one is lucky enough for her to clean them up for them.
Helping the emperor clean up was all because of his relationship with passing the throne to Xiao Wu, so she only gave him face.
Two-thirds of the properties in the capital have been repurchased, and a small part are not for sale. All the powerful people in Jiankang have moved back. It is conceivable that the capital is about to usher in a population peak.
Both big merchants and small traders in the capital were looking forward to the imperial court's return.
We look forward to the moment when this ancient capital of thirteen dynasties will regain its vitality and become the center of the world again.
The second day of April is a good time to travel.
On the third day of April, the outside of the Beijing Railway Station was crowded with people. They came here early in the morning to take a seat, just to see the emperor's face.
The imperial guards even got up earlier than the common people and went on duty on the road from the capital to the train station to prevent this street from being occupied by the common people's carriages and people.
Nowadays, the roads in the capital city are paved with cement, both inside and outside the city. Whether it is raining or snowing, there is no need to consider the problem of difficult roads.
Returning by train with the emperor this time were also members of the royal family, civil servants and noble families, as well as major aristocratic families who had moved to Jiankang. It could be said that this train was a special train.
Each family sent people to the capital in advance to take care of things, so there was an endless stream of carriages coming out to greet them. If the imperial guards did not control the road in advance, then the queen and the prince would have no way to go out of the palace.
Royal Palace.
Xia Jing followed her usual routine. She would exercise first when she got up, then wash up and have breakfast.
When everything was ready, several sons were already waiting in the flower hall.
"You guys came here so early. Have you had breakfast?"
Li Chengmu, Li Chengyi and Li Chengli all nodded: "We three brothers will use it together. Queen Mother, don't worry about us. Are you ready?"
Xia Jing tied up the cloak that Bai Mei handed over and said with a smile: "Let's go, I think the train your father and others are taking is coming soon."
To come to the capital from Jiankang, you first have to take a carriage to the river, cross the river and then take a train straight to the capital. The delay on the way back and forth has delayed the nearly twenty hours of journey until today.
More than a dozen carriages were walking on the streets of the capital. On both sides of the streets, the carriages were accompanied by Imperial Guards and King Jinwu, tall horses, and high-looking soldiers, fully armed and majestic.Such armed people were brought out to blow up the streets, causing a sensation in the whole city.
Xia Jing glanced at the dragon chariot walking in front through the curtain, and sighed in her heart: "No matter what era, women's status is always lower than men. No matter how much contribution she made to Dayu, her carriage will always be ranked first." In second place, never think of crossing the emperor's dragon chariot."
Hongmei noticed that Xia Jing was in a daze, so she poured her a cup of tea, "My Lady, please take a sip of tea to moisten your throat."
Xia Jing came to her senses and took it with a smile.
"Does your Majesty think of the Emperor?" Hongmei asked just now when she noticed that Xia Jing was staring at the dragon chariot in front of her in a daze.
Xia Jing glanced at her and shook her head. She was not thinking about Li Jingfu. She was thinking about the dragon chariot in front of her. When would Xiao Wu be able to sit on it?
By the time Xia Jing and the dozen carriages arrived at the train station outside the city, the sun had already risen.
Although the weather in April was cool and pleasant, it was still a bit hot for everyone to stand in the sun and wait for several hours.
No, there are business-minded people near the train station starting to take action.
“A big bowl of tea with melon seeds and peanuts, one bowl is super affordable!”
“Big fried dough sticks, soy milk and big sesame cakes. The portion is huge and enough to fill your stomach!”
"Madam, would you like some portions? The portions are economical and generous!"
Not to mention, after being in the sun for so long, I was really thirsty. Some people brought their own water, and some people didn’t prepare anything. They were really thirsty and didn’t want to move. The best way was to buy The vendor's big bowl of tea is cheap and affordable, just as the vendor said.
The boxes and halls of the shops next to the train station were full of people. These people couldn't get out after eating, so they were stuck in the shops.
If this situation continues, the ingredients prepared for today will not be used up. Seeing this situation, the shopkeeper ordered the waiter to take the food and go out through the back door, and follow the example of small vendors to sell in the crowd.
The atmosphere on the train is not as lively as at the train station.
Li Jingfu felt extremely emotional when he recalled the scene when he was forced to leave Beijing.
Who would have thought that when he was just an idle prince, he would be the one sitting on the dragon's chair after a trip to the capital?
He never thought that after moving to the south, the Yu Dynasty could move back to the capital in such a short period of time. At that time, he seemed to think that he would never have the chance to come back.
Aunt Wang, who is now the Concubine Xian, wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a choked voice: "Your Majesty, we finally returned to the capital this time. I just don't know if the Queen and the children are doing well? And whether the capital has changed much. ?”
Li Jingfu didn't miss people much, but he was very curious about what the capital had become.
He looked out the window and said with some uncertainty: "The changes should be great. I heard that the capital has changed a lot after the Queen's transformation."
Concubine Xian nodded excitedly: "After so many years, I wonder if your Majesty has changed? And the fourth child, I wonder if he has made any progress following your Majesty these years?"
Li Jingfu didn't expect much from this, and said smoothly: "He is not the same as before, wandering around the streets and visiting brothels. He will not be left behind in anything."
Hearing the emperor talk about his son like this, Concubine Xian was really dumbfounded, "Does the emperor dislike his son?"
Li Jingfu glanced at the other concubines in the carriage and denied it flatly: "How could it be possible? As long as my sons are good sons, how could I dislike it? Concubine Xian, please don't talk nonsense. If my sons hear it, it will affect us. The relationship between father and son.”
"Pfft!"
Concubine Xian couldn't help but chuckle, "Yes, I will listen to the emperor and will definitely keep silent about this matter."
Li Jingfu looked at the others.
The other concubines pursed their lips and smiled softly. When they saw him looking over, they all bowed slowly: "I didn't hear anything."
