Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

During the days of waiting at Jiming Temple, Qin Hao was living a comfortable life, but he encountered difficulties in eating and drinking. Three meals a day were all vegetarian. One or two meals would be enough, but if he ate too much, he would feel tasteless. Even a little dull.

Fortunately, the 12 pairs of armors brought by Zhuge Xuan cleared away the gloom in his heart.

Touching these silvery, thick and tough armors, Qin Hao felt at ease.

This armor is like the military tanks of later generations. After a person puts it on, he is invulnerable to arrows and guns. A pair of armor can be worth half a hundred troops.

As an important material in ancient times, it has always been regarded as forbidden by rulers. Zhou Yafu in the Western Han Dynasty was punished for treason after he hid no more than a dozen sets of light armor. Nurhachi of the Later Jin Dynasty even regarded the 13 sets of armor passed down from his ancestors as family heirlooms. Treasures are also the starting capital for making a fortune. This shows the power of iron armor in ancient times. This is also where Qin Hao's confidence lies.

With the protection of these 12 pairs of thick iron armor, although this huge Jinling City is not invincible, it is not a problem to come and go freely.

In the 34th year of Jiajing's reign, Japanese pirates invaded the coastal provinces. A small team of 72 people landed in Zhejiang and headed north. No matter how many soldiers and horses were around, they were unable to encircle and suppress them, and they were allowed to fight directly to the gates of Jinling City.

Jinling City's military command department had nearly 10,000 people, but they did not dare to go out to encircle and suppress them. Instead, they chose to stay behind closed doors, which showed that their military strength was weak.

This was true seventy years ago, and even more so now!

"No, we're not going out of the city. I've already ordered all the entourage." Zuo Guozhu said, calling two maids over, and handed Qin Hao and Zhuge Xuan two cups of tea to untie them.

In this case, Qin Hao didn't say much. Since he was kindly invited, he naturally couldn't lose face. He also wanted to wander around Jinling City and enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan.

It seemed that Zuo Guozhu usually went out and wandered around a lot, and he had an entourage, so he expected nothing to happen.

"Brother Qin, mount your horse?!"

At the southeast corner of Zuo's house, Zuo Guozhu got on his horse. When he turned around and saw Qin Hao still stunned, he urged.

Qin Hao said "Oh" and looked at the five-foot-tall Western Region Dawan horse in front of him with envy.

This Dawan horse from the Western Regions was the favorite sweat-blooded horse of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It got its name because it sweated like blood beads.

Just sitting on it, being condescending and having a wide field of vision, Qin Hao suddenly felt that it seemed to be pretty good.

Seeing that he was sitting firmly, Zuo Guozhu rode his horse to leave.

Suddenly, four or five people came from outside, some old and some young. They were not dressed vulgarly, and they didn't look like ordinary people.

As soon as he saw Zuo Guozhu, a middle-aged man walking in front greeted him warmly: "Master Zhu, I was just going to talk to you about something. You see, even your third uncle is here. Let's go inside and talk."

I heard that the tone of the conversation sounded like that of a relative.

But Zuo Guozhu suddenly pulled his face down, looking very unsightly, and snorted coldly: "I'm not free today. If you want to do anything, go talk to my husband, and don't bother me!"

After saying that, he ignored the embarrassed looks on several people's faces and left with his horse on his back.

Qin Hao also led the horse to follow.

After walking more than ten steps, he saw Zuo Guozhu still looking angry and cursing. Qin Hao couldn't help but ask: "Who are those people?"

Zuo Guozhu said bitterly: "They are all relatives who appeared out of nowhere and don't recognize them. They just want to get some money to get a job in Jinling City!"

Qin Hao was thoughtful. There were many famous people, and high officials in the dynasty inevitably had some poor relatives.

Zuo Guozhu was not very entangled. He was a little annoyed by the entanglement. He cursed a few more words and then put away his hand and said: "Never mind them. Anyway, I told my husband not to promise them anything. People like them have become officials." They are just common people, so I don’t want to care about them. Let’s continue walking around the city!”

As the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, Jinling City not only has a strong cultural atmosphere, but also has a very large urban area.

Zuo Guozhu just brought Qin Hao out for fun today, he had no purpose of his own. However, Qin Hao just came here for the first time, and he just wanted to see more and experience things, but he didn't have a specific place to go, so the group spent half a day just wandering around.

However, when passing two brothels in the middle, Zuo Guozhu tried his best to encourage Qin Hao and wanted to take him in to have fun.

Although Zuo Guozhu has family affairs, he can be regarded as an upright and enthusiastic person, but as a man, who doesn't like some beautiful women?

Qin Hao was no exception, and he wanted to go in and have a look. After all, compared to the shady "red light district" of later generations, ancient brothels had a long history, complete systems, and upright places that made countless otakus in later generations reverie. I think the atmosphere inside is definitely very different!

But after thinking about it, I still refused. I am still a junior brother, and I am no match for those experienced women. Besides, I am afraid of getting sick. If I have a husband, it is my duty to do so.

Zuo Guozhu saw that Qin Hao was determined not to go in, so he let it go.

At noon, Zuo Guozhu felt hungry, so he said to Qin Hao: "Let's go eat first. After a few days, we will take you to the Qinhuai River for a stroll. Hey, let me tell you, it's lively there. "

Well, Qin Hao, who was ten miles away from Qinhuai, naturally knew that the most prosperous place in ancient times was "prostitution"...

After entering a large restaurant called Yixuanju, the restaurant owner obviously recognized Zuo Guozhu and came up to greet him personally.

"Shopkeeper Bu, bring out all the best wine and food in your store. I want to entertain distinguished guests today!"

"Dele!" Shopkeeper Bu immediately went to make arrangements after hearing this.

Zuo Guozhu then said to the attendants and servants who were traveling with him: "You can order what you want to eat yourself. You don't have to save money for me today!"

The white salt was shipped to Ruan's house today, and he actually saw it. Even if he didn't get the money, his wife would get a lot of money soon.

In fact, sometimes he is also very distressed. He doesn't know why his husband wants to make so much money. He just has a daughter. In the end, it must not fall into his hands.

My husband-in-law has nothing to say about being kind to me. Apart from not being given an official position, he has everything else he wants. He is only many times better than his stern father. But once I thought that the two of them were not going to deal with each other, I didn't think about it again.

"Thank you sir!"

The servants of the Zuo family seemed to be very happy. Even the young boy of the Ruan family who came with him was also very excited. He said several good words and sat aside to discuss what to eat.

"Brother Qin, just say whatever you want to eat, and don't be polite to me." Zuo Guozhu pulled Qin Hao to sit down and said generously.

Qin Hao knew that this guy was a rich man and wanted to show off his wealth in front of him, so of course he was not polite to him. He allowed Zuo Guozhu to order anything without stopping him, and soon more than a dozen delicious dishes were served one after another. The table, of course, and a few jugs of wine

After finishing the meal, most of the dishes were not touched much, and Qin Hao felt a little regretful. However, Zuo Guozhu didn't notice it at all. Half-drunk, he pulled Qin Hao downstairs and walked straight to the door, without the shopkeeper or the store clerk stopping him.

Qin Hao then asked: "No need to give money?"

Zuo Guozhu's servant hurriedly explained: "Our uncle often comes here to have wine and keep accounts. At the end of the month, the shopkeeper will send someone to the house to clear the accounts."

So it turned out that Qin Hao said that he was ignorant.

At this time, a man's voice came from the door.

"Hey, I heard that this is one of the best restaurants in Jinling City. I sold you for a good price today. Your father and I will also be generous and let you have a good meal!"

Following the sound, a skinny, hunched man in his forties or fifties walked in, dragging a little boy with him and holding a sign in his hand.

After the man entered the door, perhaps because the light inside the room was darker than outside, he couldn't see clearly for a moment, so he squinted his eyes and looked around, and it seemed that he looked even more obscene.

Zuo Guozhu was a little half drunk. He raised his head and went out without paying attention for a moment, and suddenly bumped into the man.

He looked down and saw a ragged man dressed like a beggar bumping into him without saying anything.

On the other hand, the boy from the Ruan family behind him stepped up and gave him a slap in the face, yelling: "Damn it, where did this poor guy come from? He can't walk without eyes?!"

"You deserve to die, you deserve to die, please calm down." When the man saw that the person who beat him had a fierce look, followed by about ten people, he didn't dare to have any temper, so he quickly bent down and bowed, begging for mercy.

"It's funny." Zuo Guozhu looked at Qin Hao with a little embarrassment.

The Ruan family is used to running rampant in Jinling City, so naturally, Zuo Guozhu is not like that. He is afraid that Qin Hao will misunderstand him.

Qin Hao nodded slightly, knowing what he meant.
