Zhu Houzhao and a group of "Jin Yiwei" were so inconspicuous in Tamsui City, as if they were a drop of water blending into the sea.
In addition to ordinary people, the most common people in Tamsui City are the soldiers wearing the official uniforms of Jin Yiwei. However, although some of the official uniforms worn by these people are a bit shabby, they still look like flying fish uniforms.
But even though some of them are brand new, they look very awkward to people from the capital.
"These are the soldiers of the Overseas Zhenfu Division? Are these the Ming Dynasty's clothes and clothes?" There was no expression on Zhu Houzhao's face. As the emperor, the inheritance of clothes and clothes is something engraved in his bones, and there is no need for others to clarify it.
, no matter how open-minded he is, he will not tolerate his soldiers wearing these clothes that God knows are still official uniforms.
"Actually, many of these people are not from our Ming Dynasty!" Mu Siniang glanced at Zhu Houzhao and explained softly: "It's just that they yearn to serve for our Zhenfu Division, and it is inevitable that they are a little arrogant in making opinions. In fact, as long as they distinguish carefully,
These imitation military uniforms and weapons can still be seen at a glance, but if there is no errand in the Zhenfu Division and they dare to dress like our soldiers and do their errands, and use the name of our yamen to do their own things, they
Those who don't have the guts, once discovered, will be sentenced to hard labor at worst, or jailed at worst!"
"They are not the people of our Ming Dynasty!" When Zhu Houzhao heard this, the unhappiness in his heart disappeared immediately, "It turns out that they are the foreigners who admire the scenery of our Ming Dynasty, so it doesn't matter!"
"The rules of our Town and Fu Division are established here. This year we have recruited a lot of people from all over the place. Now a lot of people come to Tamsui just to try their luck and see if they are lucky enough to join our Town and Fu Division!"
Mu Siniang said calmly: "I'm afraid most of these people are here for this!"
"How many people are there in the Overseas Town and Fu Division now?" Zhu Houzhao asked: "You are the former Deputy Qianhu of the Overseas Qianhu Office. This should be clear!?"
"When I left, your Excellency was leading the fleet to confront the Western Yi. On that day, there were about 3,000 soldiers stationed in Siam led by Olivia Qianhu. Tamsui, Champa, Fusang, Korea
, there are a few people scattered here and there, probably no less than 3,000 people, deducting those empty heads, there are probably 5,000 people!"
Mu Siniang said with some uncertainty. In fact, she knew very well that the number of soldiers in the overseas Qianhu Station had already exceeded six thousand. However, the person in front of her was the emperor. If he talked too much, I was afraid that
Some of them bring inconvenience to Qian Wubing.
"Five thousand, this does not include the soldiers on the fleet!" Zhu Houzhao blinked and seemed to be a little bright.
"It should not be included!" Mu Siniang spoke more carefully: "The Sihai Fleet is the Sihai Fleet, which is the people, and the Overseas Thousand Households Office is the Overseas Thousand Households Office, which is the military. These two are not the same thing!
"
"Not bad!" Zhu Houzhao nodded: "By the way, what about the fleet? When we first entered the port, except for one large sea-going ship, the rest of the port seemed to be merchant ships. Qian Wubing would not let the fleet go.
If you go out, why don’t you take it back?”
"I'm not sure about this humble post. The humble post and the general arrived in Tamsui at the same time and haven't had time to meet Mr. Qian. These things are really unclear!"
"Yes!" Zhu Houzhao laughed dumbly: "I'm a little impatient!"
"The general has seen Mr. Qian, and it became clear once he asked!" Mu Siniang nodded. It was really hard to serve the emperor. She would rather lead her troops and charge into the enemy's formation than speak so cautiously.
It was simply so out of tune with her temperament.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!" Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly: "If I meet your adults, what this general sees and hears may not be the current situation. Anyway, your adults are quite busy right now, Jiao
My wife, young son and I have all gathered together happily, so I’d better not bother him again in two days!”
Mu Siniang probably thinks she can guess a little bit about what Zhu Houzhao is doing in Tamsui. After all, although His Majesty has been quiet a lot in the past two years, the shocking things he did in the past two years are really shocking.
Too many. It’s nothing to sneak out of the capital and leave a lot of courtiers behind. He can directly lead a group of people to the Jiubian where the war is raging. Compared with that time, when tens of thousands of Mongolian Tatar cavalry invaded the border, this
Not only was the emperor not afraid, but he felt that it was playing into his own hands, so it was really no big deal that he quietly came to Tamsui with a few warships.
This is now. This was a few months ago. No matter how courageous Mu Siniang was, she would not have the courage to conceal the news of Zhu Houzhao's arrival. Even if Zhu Houzhao personally issued the order, I am afraid that this person would not be able to do it.
While still on the way, the news reached Qian Wubing. At that time, the Spanish fleet was still strolling along the coast of Fujian from time to time. If Zhu Houzhao met them, he would bring Qian Wubing and his family to
Everyone in the Mu family, including the young and old, had been chopped off, so I'm afraid that's not enough. But right now, it doesn't seem to matter. Xiyi has been driven to Siam by Qian Wubing.
, dared not leave the nest for several months, so that when he left, the other party took the initiative to sue for peace, which would not pose any threat to the emperor's ship!
His Majesty must have listened to your empress' advice and came to Tamsui to rest for a while. After all, the climate here is much warmer. This was what Mu Siniang thought in her simple mind.
Perhaps, Your Majesty also wants to see what this Tamsui City looks like under Wu Bian's treatment!
No matter how much more, Mu Siniang would not be able to guess it. She could only guess that the emperor was slightly worried about Qian Wubing. This was her limit. At this time, she actually missed Zhu Yunniang a little. With Zhu Yun
Mother's ice and snow are smart. If Zhu Yunniang were here, she would probably guess what the emperor wanted to do!
"Is that a restaurant over there?" Zhu Houzhao asked, pointing towards the lively place in front.
"In Tamsui, it's called a tavern!" Mu Siniang said, "However, there is a mix of dragons and snakes in that place, so the general should not go there!"
It was fine if I didn't say it. Zhu Houzhao became more and more interested when he mentioned it, "It's right there. Let's go over and have a look. Hey, it seems they are fighting!"
At the door of the tavern in the direction they were looking at, a strong man was pushing and shoving with several people. While they were talking, several people started to move their hands. When the strong man moved, the others surrounded him.
The man suddenly staggered around.
Mu Siniang frowned slightly. When there were fights in the tavern, there were more than a dozen fights in Tamsui City every day. However, if it happened in front of the emperor, it would not be a good thing.
As they got closer, the sound of the strong man yelling and cursing also reached their ears. Just hearing the strong man's yelling and cursing, Zhu Houzhao's face became a little strange.
I can't understand a word.
The person who opened the restaurant was obviously from the Ming Dynasty, but the one who actually got the upper hand when someone made trouble was actually a Fan?
