Chapter 1577 Pickets! (1)
? Chapter 1577
"This is not a glorious thing, but the young master has seen it, and I have nothing to hide."
The young man clenched his fists tightly, pondered for a moment, and quickly told the ins and outs of the matter:
"About a few days ago, my fiancée passed by here to buy some rouge and gouache, but she ran into these barbarians who made flirtatious words and even touched her, almost forcing her to commit suicide in embarrassment."
The first sentence that the young Han man uttered made Wang Chong raise his sword eyebrows in surprise.
"...At that time I was out of town, so I didn't know about it. I went to them this time, and I just wanted to argue with them. I didn't expect these people to admit that they did it, and they didn't have the slightest remorse. You still have to do it to us!"
The young man clenched his teeth, trembling with anger. Obviously, the fact that his fiancée was humiliated but he was helpless was a huge humiliation to him. If Wang Chong hadn't rescued him, he still doesn't know what it would be like today.
Inside the carriage, Wang Chong frowned. Although he saw these two people clashing with those barbarians, he didn't expect the original committee of the matter to be like this.
"What's going on? Isn't this kind of thing under the jurisdiction of the City Defense Department and the City Guard Army? Don't they intervene when something like this happens?"
Wang Chong said coldly.
The capital has the rules of the capital. As the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, every place in the capital is under the jurisdiction of the city defense department and the city guards. It is absolutely impossible for such a crowd to make trouble in the capital. This is what Wang Chong saw. This group of barbarians got together drunk and stuck on the side of the street for some unexpected reason.
"It's useless! The City Defense Department and the City Guards don't care about this at all. I have been to the City Defense Department before, and they said that the Hu people in central Beijing are under the jurisdiction of the Shaozhang Counselor's Office, and they have no commanding power at all."
The young man said with a sad face.
hum!
Hearing Shaozhang's counselor's office, Wang Chong's expression sank, and the carriage was suddenly quiet.
"Well, now everyone is saying everywhere that the Great Tang and other countries have abolished military forces and coexisted peacefully. There will be no more wars, and this is the real unity of the world.”
"The court has repeatedly said,
The Hu people have just arrived, and they don’t know much about the customs and habits of China. I hope everyone will be more tolerant, teach them, and slowly accept them. This is also for everyone to be exempted from war and military service forever. I have been persuading him to forget it before, and this is also the reason. "
At this moment, the friend next to that person suddenly spoke, with some helplessness in his words.
"At the beginning, everyone said that the world is a good one, and that countries will never fight. Who would have thought that would be like this? Now I think of the book "Might is Truth" by the King of Foreign Lands. Now that I think about it, maybe it is not unreasonable."
The friend beside him sighed.
He just said it casually, expressing his feelings, but the atmosphere in the carriage changed subtly in an instant.
The eagle raised his head, almost subconsciously looking at the young master in front of him.
At the beginning, the son worked hard and wrote two books, one "Might is Truth" and the other "On War". As a result, Li Junxian and Zhu Zi jointly banned it, but now it seems that the influence of those two books is far from over. .
Soon, the two left.
"Eagle, what is the current situation in Beijing Normal University? How much is there in Beijing Normal University according to the situation they just mentioned?"
After the two left, Wang Chong raised his head and looked at the eagle beside him.
Lao Ying lived in the capital and was in charge of all kinds of news. Wang Chong couldn't believe that he didn't know that such a thing would happen in broad daylight.
"this……"
Lao Ying was stunned, he didn't expect Wang Chong to ask about this.
"After Counselor Shaozhang and Li Linfu took control of the government, Datang opened up the country, and a large number of Hu people arrived in the capital through the border. Now there are more Hu people in the capital than ever before. Now in any street in Beijing You can see a large number of barbarians on the road.”
"... In order to make them settle down, Li Junxian also offered them a lot of discounts, allowing them to buy shops in the capital and buy and sell special products from various countries. It's just that when there are too many people, various conflicts cannot be avoided. In addition, In order to take the overall situation into consideration, the Confucian sect mostly adopts a policy of appeasement for this kind of thing."
The eagle said in a deep voice.
"The people below us have collected this information, but these things are trivial and public security incidents managed by the City Defense Department, so we didn't report them to the young master."
At the end, the eagle bowed his head. He always thought that this matter was not too important, and Wang Chong's attention should be on Chaotang and Confucianism, but now it seems that this is obviously not the case.
Since Wang Chong asked, he obviously cared about this matter. In other words, he was negligent in this matter!
"Understood. When you go back, report all these things to me. In addition, in the future, all such incidents must be reported to me!"
Wang Chong said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
The eagle's head drooped even lower.
The carriage moved forward slowly. Along the way, Wang Chong saw more and more barbarians in the crowd. Seeing them, most of the Han people would automatically avoid them and dare not speak out. The carriage continued to move forward, and in some prosperous places in the capital, some shops that used to have Chinese characters on gold backgrounds also changed their appearances and hung Hu words.
Looking around, almost all the conspicuous shops are occupied by Hu people, and in some remote corners, all Tang merchants. They huddled in the corner, looking at the proud faces of those Hu merchants, their eyes were full of resentment.
Along the way, Wang Chong clearly saw several barbarians rushing out of a shop shouting loudly.
These people took things from the shop, not only did not give them money, but they cursed at the shopkeeper, talking about the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and other countries, and the great harmony of the world.
And further ahead, in the crowd, Wang Chong clearly saw several barbarians beating a Han man together, but no one came to manage it. The city defense army passed by not far away, but dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, with a lot of helplessness revealed between their brows.
Watching this scene, Wang Chong frowned, and his face slowly sank.
After only leaving for more than a month, so many things and such big changes have happened in the capital.
Seeing Zhao Fengchen this time, Wang Chong just picked a street at random, in broad daylight, bright and clear, these barbarians dare to be so arrogant, so unscrupulous, one can imagine how common such things are in the capital.
And the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, as the most core place, was heavily guarded by soldiers. Even so, the local situation may be even more grim.
Wang Chong originally thought that Li Junxian just had different ideas from his own, but he never expected that he would be so confused.
The embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant nest. He may think that the concept of peace and harmony between the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding countries is very popular. Under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to be too harsh on the Hu people who have just entered the capital, so as not to produce disobedient voices and ruin their plans. But he didn't know that although what he sacrificed was only a small group of people, what he could destroy was the condensed hearts of the entire Tang Dynasty.
The reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to actively use foreign troops as an agricultural nation, but it has won many battles and achieved its current strength is due to the unity of the entire empire.
As the imperial capital of the entire empire, the Hu people, where the heart of China is located, can still be so unscrupulous, but the city defense department and the city guards who are supposed to protect the people of the capital and maintain order are indifferent. For the people of Datang, this is simply shocking chilling.
With the disintegration of the hearts of the people, and without the unity of one mind and another, the foundation of the existence of this empire will also be annihilated.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Wang Chong!
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was oppressive. Wang Chongan sat there motionless, but Eagle knew that the more Wang Chong was like this, the more angry and restless he felt.
"Eagle, turn the car around and take me to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War!"
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Chong suddenly opened his eyes and said. At that moment, the eagle clearly saw a sharp cold light from those star-like eyes.
This time when he entered the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War, Wang Chong stayed for a full night, and did not return to Wang's house until dawn.
And a few days later, an explosive news caused a sensation in the entire capital.
Datang was led by the Ministry of War to set up a new picket division, and the one who established this picket division was the foreign king Wang Chong who had disappeared for more than a month.
With a clatter of hooves, on the most prosperous Qinglong Street in the east of the city, a group of cavalry with distinctive armor appeared on the street on their horses.
This team of cavalry was completely different from any previous cavalry in the capital. Their armor was bright red, and there were several large characters written on the front and back chests of the shiny armor.
picket!
"What is this! What a strange army! Why have I never seen it before!"
"What are they here for? Picketing? When did this kind of army appear in the capital?"
As soon as this army appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. When many people saw this army with fresh clothes and angry horses, their eyes were full of curiosity, and they felt very fresh.
However, this army turned a blind eye. They maintained a neat formation, showing strict discipline and high quality.
And at the forefront of this army is a general who looks to be only in his twenties.
His gaze was like lightning, full of murderous intent, like a hawk, he walked past the densely packed crowd on the side of Qinglong Street.
"drive!"
When the surrounding people were still in a daze, suddenly a loud roar of thunder resounded through the void. The next moment, the young general fixed his sharp eyes on one spot, and led the people behind him to rush forward quickly.
"Catch them all!"
The crowd was chaotic, and in everyone's eyes, this group of cavalry in fresh clothes and angry horses, like a fierce spirit, rushed to the street. A group of drunken people blocked the street, swearing loudly at the passing people, and smashed the shops of Tang merchants indiscriminately. barbarians.
Bang, bang, before these barbarians could react, more than twenty cavalrymen in fresh clothes and angry horses immediately got off their horses and rushed into these drunken barbarians with a few strides.
