Chapter 286 The capital has a purpose, Tianjin has something to do

The news from the Sixth Division and Tianjin cannot be transmitted within the sky. The capital issued a cannon and punishment, and this news cannot be transmitted to Tianjin within one day.

The annual cost of the palace and the gold, flowers and silver rewards given by the emperor increased from one million taels per year to two million taels per year, which suddenly increased by one million taels.

Although the officialdom of the government had not yet benefited, the capital was already blown up, but it was only a little blown up. Because everyone was frightened by the horrifying decree, and then confused by the restrictions within the decree.

If there is no tax increase, no new donations are opened, the imperial shop remains unmoved, and the public funds of the treasury will never be squeezed out. People in the world cannot think of any other way to make money.

Could it be that the emperor drank that day and did not know the rumors that came from there that said that the day before the order was issued, the emperor was scolded by the empress dowager after returning to the palace, but he still did not change his original intention. In the end, the empress dowager was helpless and regarded this as the little emperor's childish and pissed.

The capital was inexplicably legendary, saying that when Taizu killed Chen Wansan, the treasure pot that he took out from their house was dug out in Nanjing. It was sent to the capital by the Minister of War in Nanjing. With this treasure pot, one million taels of silver is nothing. After a few days, it will be full of pits and valleys.

This legend is a story later. The cabinet ticket was planned the next day after the court discussion. In the afternoon, the official of the Ministry of Rites had already approved the dividends and issued a decree to the whole world.

Why is it so fast? I am just afraid that Emperor Wanli has changed his mind. Everyone can see that Emperor Wanli is determined to add gold, flowers and silver, but the reaction in the palace is so ambiguous. Do you have the intention of several eunuchs, or even the intention of Empress Dowager Cisheng Li, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible.

Emperor Wanli may have some ideas, but the mechanism is fully calculated. If there is any right or wrong at that time, everyone will make a fuss about this purpose.

,.

On July 30th, the capital issued an order, and of course, Tianjin could not receive any news on the first day of August.

The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard who had been staying in the house suddenly lined out of the camp and patrolled the city. They saw soldiers holding spears and swords walking in line.

All kinds of people in the city were so scared that they were trembling. Those who could not go out would not go out, and the streets became much quieter.

There were also people riding horses in the camp outside the city patrolling about two miles around the camp. There were also sieve patrolling from brigades of soldiers. The idle people who were interested and did not dare to approach and left far away.

Anyway, it will take a long time to keep an eye on Wang Tong and his men's work, so don't rush to take a day off. Just take a day off.

On July 28, people in Tongzhou who wanted to find a boat to do something suddenly could not find the boat, including some unloading food and goods in Tongzhou and staying for a few days to do some private work. Someone went to inquire and said that on July 20, a Shandong big man took off the boat, and didn't know what it was for. In the Dabotou, who was transiting in Tianjin, there were many ships waiting for the upstream and downstream of the upstream. Just upstream of the port, there were also a fleet of more than 20 large canal ships docked.

The ship stayed there for a few days without looking at the moving place. Someone drove a big cart to deliver food to the docking ships. Many people were in and out, but they were very strict. They usually stayed on the ship honestly.

On the night of the first day of August, the place where more than 20 large ships were docked was brightly lit and crowded, but this place was remote and not important. No one was watching. I didn’t know what shameful things to do at night, and even if I saw it, I would avoid it from far away.

There is an unwritten rule outside Tianjin City. Don’t meddle in other people’s business. This is true on the canal and the sea river. Turn a blind eye and live a long life.

It was another sunny day on the second day of August. In the past few days, two cargo warehouses under Wang Tong's name entered and sent goods on the dock, and many Jinyi Guards in the city came to help.

Wang Tong couldn't afford to offend him. The wealthy businessman Gu Zibin, who worked with him, and the Zhang family who had hired a son-in-law, were all warehouses protected by Wang Tong, so it would be better to cause trouble.

So in the past few days, the eunuchs who inspected the entrained people on Wandao River have also withdrawn to the city, and the canal transport is very smooth.

After unloading the goods to the Wang Family Freight Store and Zhang Family, they all set sail offshore. It was a coincidence that a large fleet of ships came over the upstream.

Walking on this canal, the more boats the better. Everyone is connected to each other, and on the one hand, they walk steadily, and on the other hand, they also have each other's care and care.

There were more than 30 large ships, and there were bamboo greenhouses. The greenhouses were covered with oil cloth, so I couldn't see what was inside.

Nowadays, the sea and riverside are not very good. Many cattle and horses have run to the riverside. More than a dozen men dressed in grazing are busy there.

The labor sailors on the Haihe River were cursing:

"Whose animal is this? If you don't take care of it, you will come here. If you don't have any broken goods, you can't afford to pay for it if you buy it!"

"Brother, I'm sorry, I don't know whose bastard child cut the reins over there, but all the cows and horses ran away, and there was no water in the morning. As a result, they all reached the day o8, Shanxunshu, and the umbrellas were posted.

The shepherds were sweating promising, and Huang San and a few friends from the Fashion Cai Inn also came. Seeing this scene, they were full of wry smiles and said loudly:

"Dear brothers, these cattle and horses are from a guest official of our Xingcai Inn. The inn was not careful and they all ran away. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Our shopkeeper said that we would send wine and meat to you for free in the evening."

Huang San is an acquaintance. These people on the Haihe River are not easy to do too much. They go to do their own business, and they are busier and more chaotic. It seems that they look like this at this time. Some shepherds caught some cattle and horses, but couldn't shout in place, while others drove the cattle and horses farther and went towards Haikou. It was hot and noisy. Many people in the shed on the bank of the Haihe River were busy all night and were sleeping there. When they heard people outside shouting horses neighing, they were all awakened, and they were so angry that they cursed.

A fleet turned in from the intersection of the canal and the sea. There were more than 30 large ships, but this large ship was a flat-bottomed canal on the river. It could not enter the sea at all. What was it for loading? It should have come in when it was dark.

But now the shore is in chaos, and who can still care about these ships on the river? Anyway, they are either loading or going to the sea to load and unloading goods to wait for the evening. Who cares about you when you go to the sea to die?

Some herders on the shore always stopped some cattle and horses, and tried hard to gather around them to comfort them, wanting to drive them back to their original place. The fleet was constantly divided into several ships and docked on the shore. It was a coincidence that the place where the ships stopped was exactly where the shepherds stopped the cattle and horses.

Some people also noticed that the distance between cattle and horses seemed to be the same in the places where cattle and horses gathered, and the ships only docked there.

Gradually, some people felt something was wrong, so they greeted each other and came out of the shed to look at them. They were just sailors on the boat and laborers on the shore. They looked something was wrong and they were just looking at something new.

The city of Chuantou Xiang was greatly suppressed by Wang Tong. There were great forces outside the city, but thousands of Xiang people, and those who only knew how to work hard to do nothing. They followed suit and watched the fun.

Finally, some people thought it was wrong and wondered if they were telling the top of the head and incense head. The boat finally reached the shore. There were only a few sailors on each boat.

At this time, the closed hatch door opened, and the strong men inside rushed out and ran towards the shore. When the people watching the fun saw this, they were all shocked and subconsciously ran towards the back.

But I soon realized that the large number of men who came out of the boat ignored them at all, and the refusal was that they were busy on the shore.

"Don't be confused!! The first team will arrange in advance. First put a rein for the cattle and horse, the second team will help the boat dock, tie a rope for the cannon, and the third team will pull the two small boats directly up and be careful. Don't wet the gunpowder.

"Get off the ship and get the sword stone weapon. After getting it, go to the periphery to be on guard immediately!!"

"Go and report to the adults. You have already landed and have already landed!!"

The military academies of the Jinyiwei were not wearing flying fish uniforms at this time, they were all dressed in short clothes, and some even wore upper bodies, and they were shouting loudly there.

These soldiers were either there or were busy with the soldiers. Some people also took saddles and bridles to cover the horses they had already brought, and rode the horses and ran towards the city.

The city outside Tianjin was already in chaos at this time. Haihe and the city were several miles away, and it was not necessarily known about the matter here and there, so why is it so chaotic.

It was because the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard who had been training in the recruit camp suddenly came out in full swing, with soldiers holding horse whip sticks in front, and teams wearing casual clothes behind.

In the team, more than a dozen horses surrounded a carriage and listened to the orders on the carriage. The young and strong men who were originally a warehouse clerk also accepted training for several months, and it was already a militarized organization.

When the soldiers in front of them saw the horse-whip and sticks blocking the road, they would whip over and call him over, so that the brigades behind them could pass.

Whether it is the Jinyiwei Office or the houses stationed in the city, the gates are closed. The villager and the 100th household of the First Battalion stay here to protect him. Wang Tong and dozens of cavalry were waiting for the brigade on the road.

There were more and more people on the bank of the Haihe River, and no one dared to get close to the soldiers of the Jinyi Guards.

"The rope is tied more firmly. If this big guy with a thousand pounds falls, you need to be a marching man."

"Okay, okay, let the animals move!!"

The shepherds on the shore were no longer busy. They shouted and beat the cattle and horses that had been lined up. The cattle and horses were neighing, and thick ropes were tied to the cannons and slowly dragged to the shore.

"The ship loading the maze is docking!! The brigade is coming and ready to unload the ship!!"

"There is no wood!? Isn't there a wood shed there? Take it off!!"
