Chapter 171 Wild Bull

In the autumn of the sixth year of Wanli, there was only one rain in Beijing, but the weather was still getting colder. The horses and horses were flowing out of Chengtianmen. The emperor in military uniform sat on the front gate tower surrounded by ministers. Under the hat and helmet, his big eyes full of aura kept aiming at the left and right.

Zhang Juzheng, who is actually the Regent, sat upright, with two faint slight sensation protruding during his breathing, and his official robe was flat without any wrinkles. He withdrew his gaze as he looked at the huge bison walking slowly with iron chains under the city. Yu Guang looked down along the emperor's eyes and finally saw his official boots.

When he turned his head in surprise and found the emperor's boots, he turned his head and whispered to the follower: "Get a foot pad for your Majesty."

The Ming Dynasty fleet traveling around the world was still docked in Asia, and the Shuanglin ship was sent back as a cargo ship. However, Feng Bao, who stood behind the emperor, was displeased. His ship transported his majesty back to the world's hard-to-find fine wood, and was recorded in history as a flagship for the return of the government, which made the eunuchs in the palm of their seal extremely honorable.

The second sentence of today's daily life note is that the messenger of the Shuanglin ship arrives in Beijing.

When the emperor heard the news, the young man in the same palace in the Imperial Horse Supervisor took a knife officer to ride horses and shoot. Before he even had his military uniforms, he ordered the Secretary to pass on the decree and summoned the six ministers of the cabinet to the front door to watch the ceremony, saying that he would take the ministers to see the strange things sent back from the East.

To ensure majesty, the emperor sat on a chair of the first size. His chair was taller than others. Although he was wearing military uniforms that were wider than usual, he still looked one size smaller than others, especially the black leather boots exposed on the hem of the burqa. Because he could not reach the ground, his feet kept shaking beside the chair.

The emperor dressed like a governor in brocade clothes.

The iron hat helmet is covered with a layer of dark blue velvet, and there is a circle of silver under the arched dome. The brim of the hat on the forehead is also inlaid with a ruby ​​from overseas. The Luzon gold is decorated with double dragons on the left and right to ensure that the velvet is flat and adds beauty.

After Chen Mu left, the Ming Dynasty's military uniforms began to be slowly affected outside the Beiyang range. The prosperous ocean trade brought people to pursue wealth and new aesthetic changes, but this gentle change determined that it was not to fully accept the aesthetics from the Nanyang or Beiyang, but to go further on the basis of local aesthetics.

People try to appreciate the advantages of three-dimensionality, bringing convenient movements with close body, and are also unwilling to abandon the comfort and freedom brought by relaxation.

The most important feature that was popular in the Wanli era was military uniforms.

For example, Wanli's military uniform, the standing neck uniform inside the breastplate is tight, but this does not prevent the young emperor from wearing a sleeveless thin velvet ball dragon armor outside the breastplate, hiding all the armor except the thick leather arm covering the arms inside the wide armor.

The footstool was taken by the eunuch and placed it under his feet. The little emperor finally stopped shaking his calves. He gave the teacher a satisfied and praised look, raised his arms and pointed down the city tower, and said, "What a big bull! It has no horns?"

Standing on the other side of the emperor, a little behind Feng Bao was Luo Shangzhi, the gang general of the Shenji Camp who followed Chen Ju to the East. The young gang general took this opportunity to climb the front gate tower with the emperor's senior officials. Such an honor made him nervous and he did not answer immediately.

It was not until Feng Bao coughed lightly that Luo Shangzhi, who was like a cloud, rushed forward and bowed his head and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, this is the largest of the six barbarian bulls sent back by the Eastern Military Palace. He dare not feed them on the boat. He was a little thinner. He was 1007 inches long, his shoulders were six feet and five inches high, and he weighed 1942 kilograms."

"Is this still losing weight?"

The little emperor smiled and showed great interest, saying, "Does Asia use such strong cattle to plow the land?"

"When you plow, you can't get to your majesty. The barbarian bull is not human and has a fierce temperament. He cannot be driven by the poor farming land. However, his flesh is thin, soft and tender. Many people in Asia feed on it and can produce the best bone and skin, which is the thickest and most durable."

As he said that, Luo Shangzhi took out a lacquer box on his side and presented it to Emperor Wanli. When the eunuch took it, Luo Shangzhi explained: "This is the cowhide sole offered to His Majesty by the military uniform factory set up by the Eastern Military Palace in Majiagang. The thick sole is equipped with foot nails to prevent the cold, and it is like walking on flat ground on the ice and snow."

The little emperor laughed out loud as he looked at the two large pieces in the lacquer box with small nails on the thick leather soles. This Dongyang Military Mansion is interesting. He traveled across the ocean to bring the emperor a pair of leather soles!

The eunuch held the soles of the shoe, the emperor looked at it again and again, and finally nodded, "Okay, I have taken it away. The barbarian bull was transported back six. I heard that there was a pair of calf inside?"

Luo Shangzhi nodded and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, the fleet set sail from Changsheng County to transport thirty cattle, but the long sailing road was too long and there were accidents. Only these six were left when they arrived on the shore. Two of them were calves. Chen Shuai said that he would use barbarian cattle and plowing ox to breed, and perhaps he would mate stronger plowing oxes."

"Thirty heads, only six heads left?"

Xiao Wanli was shocked by his tongue, and his thoughts about the situation in Chaotian Palace were swallowed back to his stomach.

He thought to himself: These 30 Wanli were loaded on the ship, and only six were left there, but he had only one person. So, would he live Wanli or die Wanli who died when he was sent there?

Emperor Wanli, who was frightened by himself, kept shaking his head, and his two elbows held the armrests of the chair, murmured: "It's too dangerous, too dangerous!"

Suddenly, he thought of something, and said with a tiger on his face, "Did you deliberately scare me? How many people go to as many as you go, and walk as many times as you go? Why are there only six left in thirty cows... Are you hungry on the way and eating all the calfs that Uncle Jinghai gave me?"

Luo Shangzhi lowered his head and felt a sudden sigh of heart when he heard this. It was indeed the only twenty-four bison left were eaten... but it was not what the emperor thought.

"Your Majesty, the livestock are different from humans. There are also giant turtles later. Thirty giant turtles were shipped to Tianjin and there were still thirty left. Those small turkeys and big geese suffered some losses due to weather changes, but they were not big. As long as people eat and drink well on the boat, they would be fine. They would take some books and read for a month or two and then pass quickly. Only this bison is wild and difficult to tame."

"This time, all the livestock were placed in the bottom warehouse. Because the bull was too big, there were two great blessings that were specially transported to them. There was a cow on the boat to break free from the shackles. During the sailing, it hit the boat board with its head, knocking out a big hole in the bottom warehouse. It was too late to save people when the ship sank. Where can I have enough energy to save the cow?"

Luo Shangzhi said carefully and looked at the emperor's expression. Seeing that the little emperor's face slowly turned from anger to calmness and then curious, he felt relieved and said, "This time, there are many experienced captains in the Ming Dynasty. As long as they sail according to time, they should eat and drink tea on the ship, and do not drink alcohol secretly, there will be no accidents."

Luo Shangzhi didn't know that the little emperor was not angry, but was still scared of the thirty Wanli people who died one after another.

Now that I heard that I would not die, my interest immediately came back. I stroked my chest and said something that would make people misunderstand the monarch's compassionateness to the military and civilians: "That's good, that's good, that's good, that's good, that's good, that's good, that's good, that's good."

With a wave of his hand, the emperor made a decision: "The calf was sent to the Imperial Horse Prison, called him, called the servant of Yazhou!"
