Chapter 285: Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown rebellion(1/2)
As the transfer order was issued, dozens of cavalry bypassed the main road in the capital and galloped away from the side and back gates of the palace.
Next to Ping'an Tea House, a guard in Jinyi struggled to squeeze in next to Uncle Zhang.
When Uncle Zhang saw the person coming, he quickly asked, "But what orders does His Highness have to convey?"
Jin Yiwei was panting, took a long breath and said: "Uncle Zhang, the palace decree came, asking Uncle Zhang not to talk about the suspension of recruitment for the time being, and to stabilize the mood of the people first to avoid turmoil."
Uncle Zhang nodded heavily.
In fact, not long ago, when too many people gathered, Uncle Zhang wanted to stop, but he subconsciously felt that if he stopped recruiting workers like this, he was afraid that there would be big trouble.
So I kept arranging people to keep recording the names of the people who came.
In the crowd, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd: "Is it possible that the Jinyiwei people don't want to recruit workers? We have been waiting since early yesterday morning. They are trying to trick us like monkeys."
As soon as he said this, someone immediately echoed: "Yes, it's really a monkey trick. I have been waiting all night, and now there is no water in. Who can be willing to end like this?"
"Brothers, tell me if this is true."
"Yes, why, why can't I enter while the ones in front can enter?"
"I was waiting in the early hours of last night. Now I'm very hungry, so I don't dare to leave for fear of being robbed of my seat."
"Today, I must give an explanation, otherwise I won't leave."
"That's right. The Qunying Chamber of Commerce has deceived the people and must give an explanation."
All of a sudden, the crowd became excited. They were queuing up in an orderly manner. Taking advantage of the chaos, many people began to deliberately jump in line and disrupt the order.
How could the people who were cut in line be willing to do so? Arguments immediately broke out everywhere, and many of them got angry.
The person who took action accidentally hit someone else, and the impact became wider and wider.
All this happened in just a dozen breaths.
Suddenly, the scene became extremely tense.
Uncle Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to find the first few making trouble in the crowd, but it was obviously useless.
There were too many people, and it was difficult to find those people if they burrowed into the crowd.
Facing such a scene, whether it was the Jin Yiwei or the servant, their bodies tensed up.
In their feeling, a big explosion is about to happen next.
Uncle Zhang's expression remained calm, and even when he looked at the increasingly chaotic crowd, his expression did not change at all.
Instead, he ordered the boys to bring the table, jumped up, stood on the table, and said to the many boys:
"Shout with me!"
"Anyone who shouts trouble will be disqualified from recruitment!"
After hearing Uncle Zhang's instructions, the boys immediately shouted at the top of their lungs: "Anyone who calls troublemakers will be disqualified from recruitment!"
With just such a short sentence, the crowd began to gradually calm down amid the constant shouts of the boys.
The common people came here just to earn a living. Now that they heard this shout, they naturally didn't dare to do anything.
Uncle Zhang had sharp eyes and kept scanning the crowd. When the crowd started to become quiet, it was extremely obvious that those few wanted to cause chaos.
"Catch him. Anyone who catches this person can go directly to the factory!!!"
Uncle Zhang took a deep breath, and a sound like thunder rang out. As a former warrior on the grassland, Uncle Zhang's voice was very loud.
The people around him subconsciously looked in the direction of Uncle Zhang's finger, and saw one person still speaking unwillingly, trying to cause greater chaos.
Startled by Uncle Zhang's loud voice, the man seemed to realize something and wanted to get into the crowd.
However, the tried and tested routine just now is no longer useful.
Now, he was like a piece of cake, with no chance of escaping. The eyes of the people next to him were all glowing green.
The next moment, more than ten people nearby gathered around him.
Head, neck, arms, arms, waist, thighs, calves.
Wherever he could be caught, no one was left behind. Everyone knew that as long as he caught him at this moment, not only could he avoid the queue, but he could even enter the factory directly.
"Why are you arresting me? It's not me. You've arrested the wrong person. Come on, that person is about to run away. Arrest him!!!"
The man shouted loudly. At first glance, it seemed that he was really someone else.
Several hands hesitantly let go.
When it seems that everyone is about to let go and go find someone else.
Uncle Zhang shouted again: "It's him, it's him! Don't be tricked!"
With this shout, several hands that had originally separated returned with lightning speed, and there seemed to be a few more.
At this moment, the man wanted to cry but had no tears, knowing that he could not run away.
His gaze subconsciously looked towards his surrounding accomplices.
The accomplices understood that there was no way to save him and quietly slipped away from the crowd.
Seeing his accomplice disappear in the crowd, the man felt relieved, and then he was calmly wrapped up by the people and dragged towards Uncle Zhang.
"Very good, hand the person over to Jin Yiwei, go there to register, leave your address, and someone will notify you of the date of entry into the factory."
"You can also pay attention to the notice recently and come by yourself."
Uncle Zhang kept his promise and said to the seven or eight people who surrounded the troublemaker.
After hearing this, the people immediately cheered and went to register.
The person was also handed over to Jin Yiwei.
The man looked at Uncle Zhang with an arrogant expression, his meaning was very obvious, no matter what you ask me, I will never tell you.
However, to this person's surprise, Uncle Zhang just glanced at him and ignored him.
Just let Jin Yiwei press him away.
"Don't you want to know who I am and why I came here to cause trouble?" the man shouted to Uncle Zhang.
However, Uncle Zhang didn't want to talk and didn't even look back.
The man was escorted away by the royal guards unwillingly.
Next, Uncle Zhang said loudly to the crowd: "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't be anxious. I know I have been waiting for a long time, but there are too many people."
"Everyone is watching, and our registration has never stopped."
"Next, I would like to ask fellow villagers to pay attention to the surrounding area. If anyone deliberately provokes people like this person just now, as long as they catch him, they can go directly to the factory."
After hearing what Uncle Zhang said and what happened just now, everyone started to look at the people around them with eager eyes.
More people regretted the opportunity just now. It would have been great if it was next to them.
Taking this opportunity, Uncle Zhang looked at the register and saw that it was almost at the bottom.
In fact, eight to nine thousand people have already been registered for the Ping An Teahouse alone.
In the entire capital, there are four registration points like Zhang Bo's.
This means that the current number of workers has already exceeded the planned number.
But Uncle Zhang had no intention of stopping. Instead, he asked the boy to go to the teahouse and prepare some brochures.
He is waiting.
Waiting for the army arranged by Jin Yiwei just now.
Only by stabilizing the people first can this incident pass.
As Zhu Ying's former personal butler, although Zhang Bo is a Jurchen from the East China Sea, this does not mean that he is less intelligent.
Uncle Zhang has read quite a few books over the years.
For him, there was no need to panic in such a scene.
...
"Changsun Dian ordered that all members of the guard station be summoned immediately to reorganize their military equipment and enter the city to maintain order."
"The Changsun Palace has issued an order that all officers and men who enter the city must not behave in any way that disturbs the people. Once discovered, they will be severely punished."
"The Changsun Palace has ordered that this is a rehearsal for the grand military parade. Those who perform the worst will be disqualified from the grand military parade."
Three edicts were circulated to the twenty-four guards guarding the capital.
Except for the palace guards who did not move, other guards immediately began to move quickly.
"It's good for me, General. You must not violate any of His Highness Changsun's three orders."
"If the soldiers of our guard station miss the military parade because of someone's violation, huh, then I, the general, will tell you that the good days are over."
"Today, please be more positive. When walking, pay attention to your formation. This time when you enter the city, there must be someone monitoring you at all times. Don't embarrass me, the general."
In a certain guard post, the commander roared loudly at the soldiers who had gathered urgently.
The sudden rehearsal made a large number of conductors feel the opportunity.
