Chapter 8
Li Rubai returned to Chenyang City with the defeated generals. Gao Shixin and Zhang Yong originally wanted to return to the capital, but because Zhang Yong's injuries would take some time to recover, he had to follow Li Rubai to Chenyang City.
The city of Chenyang was nine miles and twenty feet long, and the city wall was two and five feet high. There were four city gates, Yongning Gate in the east, Baoan Gate in the south, Yongchang Gate in the west, and Zhenbian Gate in the north. The town border gate was originally named Andingmen, but because the old slaves in Liaodong rose up, it was changed to Zhenbian Gate.
This was the first time that Gao Shixin came to this largest city in Liaodong, both in this era and in his previous life. Entering Chenyang City from the border gate of the north of the city, this city is the same as most cities on the land of China back then. The streets are covered with bluestone slabs, with bungalows or two-story buildings on both sides, and shops facing the street. There are crisscrossing alleys on both sides. When you walk into the alley, there are courtyards where residents live.
In fact, Chenyang was not the largest city in Liaodong at that time. Liaoyang, Guangning and Kaiyuan were both larger than Chenyang at that time, but the Liaodong Governor's Office, Liaodong General's Office and Liaodong General's Office were all in Shenyang.
Li Rubai arranged a small yard for the two brothers in Shenyang City for them to live in.
Gao Shixin walked into the house and thought to himself: This house is not bad, with a unique courtyard. When you walk into the gate, there is a courtyard inside. Although it is not big, it feels quite warm and you have planted plum blossoms. On both sides, there is a kitchen on one side and a side with a side room. This side room is usually for servants to live in.
Directly opposite is the bedroom and the hall. When you walk into the gate, there is a hall in the middle, with a bedroom on both sides, a study next to the master bedroom, and a small side room next to the second bedroom. This is simply five bedrooms and one living room! If a house like this is placed in later generations, I don’t know how much it will cost! Even if the housing prices in Chenyang are cheaper, it will cost at least six or seven thousand per square meter? Moreover, this is a single-family bungalow, and the price will only be even more expensive. It is estimated that such a yard will cost at least three or four million!
In the 21st century, if you can have such a unique courtyard in the center of Shenyang, you can really be considered a local tycoon. Of course, compared with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the housing prices in Shenyang are still too cheap. Three to four million, if you buy a small house in Beijing, Shanghai, that is, in a relatively far place, you can only buy a single room in the center.
Gao Shixin was very satisfied with this house. This will be his private property in the future. Of course, there is a prerequisite that should not be occupied by the old slave, otherwise the house would not belong to him. In order to protect his property, Gao Shixin must also keep Chenyang City to the death.
He took the key from the auxiliary soldier, pointed to the bedroom on the right and said, "Arranging my little brother in, let him rest first."
After the two auxiliary soldiers carried Zhang Yong onto the bed, they left.
Gao Shixin walked around his small courtyard and suddenly found a serious problem: these five bedrooms and one living room are not standard, and he always felt that something was missing.
At this moment, he felt a little anxious and then he remembered: Damn, there is no toilet!
In his previous life, Gao Zhibin was in a bad state. After leaving the basement, there was a clean bathroom outside, with a squat pit and a sink. After the convenience, just rinse the water and wash your hands. Then go to the sink to wash your hands. It is so clean and refreshing.
However, in this era, there was no toilet at home, and Gao Shixin, who had a habit in his previous life, was unwilling to use the toilet at home, so he would make the room smell bad. More importantly, he had to pour and clean the toilet by himself, which would be a lot of trouble.
There is a toilet in the alley outside, but that kind of simple toilet is built with a few wooden boards on a cesspool, surrounded by bricks, which is a squat. Every morning, people who come to pour the toilet come over, pour the dirty things in the toilet into the cesspool, and then fetch water from a well next to it to flush the toilet.
Gao Shixin couldn't squat down like this toilet, but he couldn't hold it in a hurry, so he had to squat down with his teeth and conveniently finish it as quickly as possible, and then quickly escaped from the smelly toilet.
As soon as I got home, I heard a sing outside: "Jing Lue Yang is here!"
Gao Shi said in confidence: "Damn it! It's Yang Hao, that bastard! It was because of his mistake that the Ming Dynasty suffered a crushing defeat in the Battle of Sarhu. This kid is almost done, so it's better to get close to him less, so as not to go to prison in the future and implicate me."
But after thinking about it, I still can't neglect this guy. It's better to be in charge of the county magistrate. This person is now the Liaodong governor, and he angered him and can directly throw himself into prison. Although the system gave him a strong body and nearly invincible skills, he is not truly invincible after all. If he is cut by a knife, he will still be injured and bleeding, if he is cut off in the head, he will be stabbed into the vital area, and will die.
If you anger this old guy, the old guy will definitely capture him. You can suddenly kill this old guy, but killing an official is equivalent to rebellion. At this time, the army has not yet launched a military army. Who will go to rebel if it rebels? If it rebels, who will go to join the White Lotus Sect? That is something that cannot be supported by his mother. Isn’t it equivalent to sending him to death? Resigning to Jiannu? Don’t even think about it. Gao Shixin would rather die than be a traitor, and I believe Zhang Yong would not go to Jiannu.
What's more, Gao Shixin could not rebel. In his previous life, he was a netizen who sympathized with the Donglin Party. He often called himself an upright Donglin righteous man on the Internet. Whenever netizens who opposed him took too cold water, Hou Fangyu, Hui Shiyang, Fang Fengnian and others who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty came to refute him, he would retort that Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others were so upright that they would rather die than surrender to the eunuch party. It was precisely because the upright Donglin Party members were killed by the eunuch party that the rest were no longer possible.
Next he retorted that after the Ming Dynasty, the resistance of the literati of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was the most intense. Huang Daozhou, Chen Zilong, Xia Wanchun, and Fang Yizhi, who died heroically, were all members of the Donglin Party. Gao Shixin, who supported the Donglin Party, would never do anything to kill the officials and rebel, and this official was still an official who would soon be defeated. It would be too worth killing him to rebel.
Thinking of this, Gao Shixin had to bite the bullet and walk out to greet Zhengluo Yang, who would be thrown into prison soon.
There were already a large group of soldiers and officials wearing various official robes standing at the door. In the middle, there was an official with a white face and a pretty face. He had a pair of eyes and eyes. This man was wearing a crimson official robe and a brocade pheasant embroidered on the patch, which meant that he was a second-rank civil servant. Gao Shixin naturally saw at a glance that this man was Yang Hao, the governor of Liaodong, so he hurried forward to salute: "See Yang Jingluo with the governor of humble duties!"
"Is this the great hero who killed thirty-six Jiannu people?" Yang Hao walked forward with a smile.
Damn! I have obviously killed at least 110 people, why did it shrink at once? They must have robbed the head of the person! Gao Shi was confidently scolding, but he still replied humbly: "I have won the award, at least I am lucky."
Yang Hao stroked his beard, shook his head, looked at Gao Shixin carefully, and praised him: "What a young hero!"
In fact, Gao Shixin also knew what Yang Hao was trying to do in his heart. With the heads of the Later Jin soldiers he killed, coupled with Li Rubai's capture, he blew it when he reported to the Ministry of War, so that Yang Hao's life could be saved. To be honest, Gao Shixin didn't want to steal his own credit by those rats, but he had to bow his head under the roof, so he had to bite the bullet and salute, "Yang Jinglei praised it."
Yang Hao laughed: "You two brothers have made meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty. You will kill thirty-six Jiannu one by one. I admire you the most. I heard that you are injured, so I will come to bring you silver and food. Come and bring you gifts to reward the tall heroes!"
Two soldiers came up with gifts, and saw a bag of flour, two lively chickens, two fish, a leg of lamb, and a small bag of salt in the big bamboo basket. Another soldier came up with a tray, which contained four silver ingots, and estimated that one silver ingot would be fifty taels.
Gao Shixin killed a total of 112 Later Jin soldiers. If his contributions were reported to the capital, he would receive a reward of more than 3,000 taels of silver. However, Yang Hao and Li Rubai divided up seventy-six heads. In order to use this matter to clear his guilt, Yang Hao gave Gao Shixin 200 taels of silver, which was actually a big advantage.
