As the transfer order was issued, dozens of riders bypassed the main roads of the capital and rushed out through the side door and the back door of the imperial palace.
Next to the Ping'an Teahouse, a Jinyiwei struggled to squeeze in next to Zhang Bo.
When Zhang Bo saw the person coming, he asked hurriedly, "Does His Highness have any orders to convey?"
The Royal Guard panted and took a long breath, saying, "Uncle Zhang, the palace has issued an order asking Uncle Zhang not to mention the suspension of recruitment for the time being, and to stabilize the emotions of the people first to avoid unrest."
Uncle Zhang nodded heavily.
In fact, not long ago, when the crowd gathered too much, Zhang Bo wanted to stop, but he subconsciously felt that if he stopped recruiting workers like this, there would be a big mess.
So they kept arranging people to record the registered names of the visitors.
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly in the crowd, "Jinyiwei, are you not going to recruit any more workers? We have been waiting for you since early yesterday morning. Are you trying to make fun of us?"
As soon as this was said, someone immediately echoed: "That's right, it's really a monkey trick. I've been waiting for a whole night and haven't had a drop of water until now. Who can be willing to end like this?"
"Brothers, tell me, is this the truth?"
"Yes, why? Why can't I go in while the ones in front can go in?"
"I was also waiting since the early hours of last night. Now I'm starving, but I dare not leave for fear that someone else will take my seat."
"Today, you must give an explanation, otherwise we will not leave."
"You're right. The Heroes Chamber of Commerce has deceived the people and must give an explanation."
All of a sudden, the crowd became boiling. Many people who had been queuing in an orderly manner began to deliberately cut in line and disrupt order during the chaos.
How could those who were cut in line be willing to accept this? Disputes immediately broke out in various places, and many people even got angry and started fighting.
The person who started the fight 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.
Zhang Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to find the first few troublemakers in the crowd, but it was obviously useless.
There were too many people, and those people were hard to spot because they were blending into the crowd.
Faced with such a scene, both the Jinyiwei and the servants tensed up.
They felt that a big explosion was about to happen.
Zhang Bo's expression remained calm, and even when he saw the crowd becoming more and more chaotic, his expression did not change at all.
Instead, he ordered the servants to bring a table, and with one jump, he stood on the table and said to the servants:
"Shout with me!"
"Those who shout troublemakers will have their qualifications revoked for employment!"
Hearing Zhang Bo's order, the servants immediately opened their throats and shouted, "Anyone who joins in making trouble will be disqualified from being hired!"
With just this brief sentence, the crowd gradually calmed down amid the servants' continued shouting.
The people came here just to get some wages, but now when they heard the shouting, they naturally dared not do anything.
Zhang Bo had sharp eyes and kept scanning the crowd. When the crowd began to quiet down, the few people who wanted to create chaos were extremely obvious.
"Catch him. Anyone who catches him can go straight into the factory!!!"
Zhang Bo took a deep breath, and a sound like thunder rang out. As a former warrior on the grassland, Zhang Bo had a very loud voice.
The people around subconsciously looked in the direction of Zhang Bo's finger, only to see a man still speaking unwillingly, trying to stir up greater chaos.
Startled by Uncle Zhang's loud voice, the man seemed to realize something and wanted to blend into the crowd.
However, the routine that had worked so well just now was no longer useful.
Now he is like a popular commodity, there is no chance for him to escape. The people around him are so excited that their eyes are glowing green.
The next moment, more than ten people nearby surrounded them.
Head, neck, arms, arms, waist, thighs, calves.
No one was left behind wherever they could be caught. Everyone knew that if they caught him at this moment, they could not only avoid the pain of queuing, but could even enter the factory directly.
"Why are you arresting me? It's not me. You arrested the wrong person. Hurry, that person is about to run away. Arrest him!!!"
The man shouted loudly, and at first glance, it seemed that there really was someone else.
Several pairs of hands hesitated and let go.
Just when everyone was about to let go and look for someone else.
Zhang Bo shouted again: "It's him, it's him! Don't be fooled!"
At this shout, several pairs of hands that had originally left returned at lightning speed, and it seemed that there were a few more of them.
At this point, the man was in tears, knowing that he couldn't escape.
His eyes subconsciously looked towards his accomplices around him.
The accomplice realized that it was too late to save him and quietly slipped away from the crowd.
Seeing his accomplice disappear in the crowd, this man felt relieved, and then calmly let the people wrap him up and drag him towards Zhang Bo.
"Very good. Hand him over to the Royal Guards and go there to register. Leave your address and someone will notify you of the date to enter the factory."
"You can also pay attention to the notices recently and come here yourself."
Zhang Bo kept his promise and said to the seven or eight people who surrounded the troublemaker.
Hearing this, the people immediately cheered and went to register.
The person was also handed over to the Jinyiwei.
The man looked at Zhang Bo with an arrogant expression, and his meaning was very clear: no matter what you ask me, I will never tell you.
However, to this man's surprise, Uncle Zhang just glanced at him and ignored him.
Just let the Jinyiwei take him away.
"Don't you want to know who I am? Why do you come here to make trouble?" the man shouted at Zhang Bo.
However, Uncle Zhang did not want to talk and did not even turn his head.
The man was unwillingly taken away by the Jinyiwei.
Then, Uncle Zhang said loudly to the crowd: "Fellow villagers, please don't be impatient. I know you have been waiting for a long time, but there are too many people."
"Everyone is watching, and the registration here has never stopped."
"Next, please be careful of your surroundings. If anyone tries to stir up trouble again like this guy did just now, anyone who catches him will be able to enter the factory directly."
After hearing what Uncle Zhang said and what just happened, everyone started to eye the people around them covetously.
More people felt extremely sorry for the opportunity they had just had. It would have been great if it was right next to them.
Taking this opportunity, Uncle Zhang took a look at the registration book, which was almost empty.
In fact, just for the recruitment of Ping'an Teahouse, there are already eight or nine thousand people registered.
In the entire capital, there are four registration points like Zhang Bo's.
This means that the current number of recruits has already exceeded the planned number.
But Uncle Zhang had no intention of stopping. Instead, he asked the servant to go to the teahouse and prepare some more booklets.
He is waiting.
Waiting for the army that Jinyiwei just mentioned to be arranged.
Only by stabilizing the people first can we let this incident go.
As Zhu Ying's personal butler, although Zhang Bo is a Donghai Jurchen, this does not mean that he is not smart.
Zhang Bo has read quite a few books over the years.
There was no need for him to panic in such a situation.
…
"His Highness Changsun has ordered that all guards be assembled immediately to reorganize their military equipment and enter the city to maintain order."
"His Highness Changsun has ordered that all soldiers entering the city must not disturb the people in the slightest. Once discovered, they will be severely punished."
"His Highness Chang Sun has ordered that this is a rehearsal for the grand parade. Those who perform the worst will be disqualified from the grand parade."
The three imperial edicts were spread to the twenty-four garrisons that protected the capital.
Except for the palace guards, the other guards immediately began to act quickly.
"It's good for this general. The three orders of His Royal Highness Changsun must not be disobeyed."
"If the soldiers of our garrison miss the military parade because of someone's disobedience, then this general will tell you that your good days are over."
"Today, everyone should be more active. When walking, pay attention to the formation. There will definitely be people monitoring you at all times when you enter the city. Don't embarrass this general."
In a certain garrison, the commander roared loudly at the soldiers who had gathered urgently.
The sudden rehearsal gave many conductors an opportunity.
As the saying goes, maintain your troops for a thousand days and use them for a moment.
After experiencing this high-intensity training, both soldiers and generals have gathered their strength and are determined to take advantage of this opportunity to perform well.
At the main gate of the capital, all the guards formed a neat square, passed through the gate and headed towards the street.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
It was like an earthquake, a huge noise caused by the soldiers' highly unified steps.
Soon the people's attention was attracted by the sound.
"In compliance with the order of His Royal Highness Chang Sun, the Heroes Chamber of Commerce's recruitment has had too much of an impact and has disrupted the order of the capital. We now order them to immediately stop recruiting and change their recruitment methods."
"Now, the people who participated should return home immediately and disperse the streets without delay."
The general shouted in front, and the soldiers behind followed suit.
He shouted three times in a row before he stopped.
The people looked at each other in bewilderment. Even His Royal Highness Changsun had issued an order, so who would dare to challenge the royal authority?
It's just a bit hard to accept just leaving like this.
Zhang Bo saw this and immediately ordered the servant to put away the registration list, and then said: "Don't worry, fellow villagers. His Highness means that the impact this time is too great, and he will not stop recruiting. He just needs a better way."
"If someone takes advantage of you, it would be a serious crime. You might end up in jail instead of being able to work in the factory."
With the support of the army, Zhang Bo suddenly became more confident.
Even the registration was cancelled, so naturally there was no way for the people to continue, and the long queue soon dispersed.
During this dispersal process, the heroic spirit of the army was also seen by the people.
"Great is our Ming Dynasty. I have never heard of or seen such a powerful army. With such a strong army protecting us, why should we worry about the Ming Dynasty's prosperity?"
"Fenglinhuoshan, our Ming army actually has such military discipline. The future is promising."
When the crowd saw the army, they kept sighing and felt a strong sense of pride.
This is the Ming army guarding the capital. Its powerful deterrent and oppressive force becomes even more terrifying as the army approaches.
When the common people behind saw this, they subconsciously pushed aside to make way for it.
Such situations occurred in various places in the capital.
The twenty-four guards quickly entered the city, quickly took control of the street intersections, and strictly restricted the gathering of the people.
More than 134,000 soldiers quickly blockaded the entire capital.
As streets were taken control, all commanders issued orders to seal off the city, requiring people to return home, especially those who were hungry, and asked them to go back immediately.
The situation was under effective control within half an hour after the army was dispatched.
The main thing is the neatly-organized formation, which is enough to shock all the people.
Most people have only heard of such a large army from storytellers in restaurants.
Now that I see it with my own eyes, I am deeply shocked.
When the twenty-four guards entered the town to suppress the riot, the interrogation of the previously captured rioter had already begun.
"Name."
"Grandpa Gao Yong."
“Place of origin.”
"I'm from Fengyang."
"What!!"
The Jinyiwei who was doing the registration immediately looked up at Gao Yong and stopped writing.
Fengyang is your Majesty’s hometown.
How could he possibly come and join in causing trouble?
The Jinyiwei in charge of the interrogation was a little confused.
After a slight hesitation, he asked, "Even if you are from the same hometown as Your Majesty, why do you want to do such a thing?"
"You should know that if you cause this, many people may be trampled to death."
Hearing the question, Gao Yong snorted coldly and said, "My father was killed. What else can I do? I just watch my father being executed without any reaction."
The Royal Guard frowned and asked, "Who is your father? Why did you feel resentful towards him even when he was executed?"
After listening to what Gao Yong said, he said coldly, "Don't bother me. Since I've been caught by you, I never thought I could go back alive since I came here. Don't try to trick me. I won't tell you even if I die."
After hearing this, the Jinyiwei hesitated for a moment and then turned and left.
When it comes to His Majesty's fellow townsmen, there are some things that cannot be decided by a single Jinyiwei like him, especially when it comes to punishment.
In most punishments, if the prisoner fails to endure, he will lose his life.
Not long after, someone of high status came over.
The person who came over was Qianhu Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi came over and sat directly in front of Gao Yong, and then asked: "I just heard that you are from the same hometown as His Majesty, and your father was executed, so you have bad intentions, right?"
"Tell me what your father did to get executed. Maybe I can help you get justice."
In Chen Zhi's opinion, it was very likely that this man's father was wrongly accused to death, so he wanted to use this opportunity to get some information out of him.
Gao Yong sneered, "Haha, who do you think you are? You still want to overturn my father's verdict? But do you know who convicted and executed my father?"
Chen knows: "This is the capital. No matter who it is, as long as you speak out, if there is really a grievance, I promise that I will clear your name."
Gao Yong sneered, "Well, that's what you said. The one who executed my father was none other than the current emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Come on, tell me how to overturn my father's verdict!"
