3526 Carry me into the city
What? Let the people carry the imperial chariot? The officials who welcomed the chariot were in trouble. There was no such rule at any time. How can the emperor protect the safety of the emperor? What should I do if there is an assassin?
To put it simply, how can the emperor maintain his pomp?
But at this time, all the people on the scene were already sensational. The six-year exemption of taxes made these poor people so excited!
To be fair, because Yongzheng's reform of diligence and subsummons did reduce the burden on the Qing people in the late Yongzheng period. The taxes that the Qing people had to pay after Yongzheng were mainly as follows.
Land tax, mining tax, salt tax, tea tax and various industrial and commercial taxes, and finally, the corvee tax that is converted into corvee!
For ordinary people who farm, land tax and corvee tax are the major part of all taxes. In a good harvest, these taxes can basically account for one-third of the output of a well-off farmer. If there is no tax reduction during the famine, these taxes will probably crush a small family.
What Emperor Tongzhi just exempted was the most closely related land taxes and corvee-service discounts for ordinary people. There was no mine in Songjiang Prefecture, so the mining tax did not exist. Salt, tea tax and industrial and commercial taxes were all paid by city people who were doing business, and it had nothing to do with the people.
Six years of exemption from land tax and labor taxes are equivalent to earning two years of output in vain. It would be strange if the people are not crazy!
The fishermen in Dianshan Lake were the first to jump up when they heard the good news, "I will carry the sedan chair to Long Live, let's carry the Master Long Live into the city!"
One person raised his arms, and tens of thousands of people came from the well! The people of Songjiang Prefecture, who were rushing from all directions, rushed into the guard team.
At this time, even if the Qing officials wanted to object, they could not speak. The entire Wusongkou River embankment was full of roars shouting long live, and the crowded faces of Prince Chun Yiqiu could not rush over with his guards.
Suzuki, who had just walked a long way, was so scared that she was so scared that she was so scared that she said, "What is this for? Is Your Majesty going to kill you?" They had rich experience in the battlefield and knew how dangerous this chaotic scene was, so the veterans didn't have to act immediately.
"You can't go against the flow of people, you can't have conflicts... All snipers seize the commanding heights and protect the safety of long live!"
That's all. Emperor Tongzhi's imperial chariot had been lifted up by countless hands. Even the big Sixi and Xiao Sixi who were serving were squeezed aside, and their feet were swollen.
"Oh...Oh...Long live the Lord, be careful, these ordinary people are crazy!"
Emperor Tongzhi was playing with fire. He ignited the fire in the hearts of the people but put himself in the most dangerous position. At this moment, the people had already had close contact with him. If there was an assassin close to his body, it would be ok.
The sniper climbed up the big tree like a monkey, and the roofs of buildings around the river embankment were also occupied by these snipers.
A high-power telescope from Prussia searched the crowd for all suspicious figures, and the crosshairs wrapped around this person's head and another person's neck.
The General Manager Lian Xing of the Office of the Internal Affairs was beaten by the people and the serving people in the palace. The General Manager was crying like a cat, "Long live Mr. Wuwu...Long live Mr. Wuwu, be careful... Wuwuwu..."
Jiushuai Zeng Guoquan slapped his thighs anxiously, "Let us put on our plainclothes... Where is the eagle? You lead the team yourself and let all the plainclothes guards go up and squeeze in to protect the emperor!"
"What are you going to do? Long live the mess I learned from Europa? Why are you so messy..."
Emperor Tongzhi was just gambled, and he was gambled for his life! Can he not know such danger? Of course he knew that he could even feel that there must be an assassin in the crowd who wanted his own life.
It’s not that I have encountered assassination, Fusang, and Europe have also encountered it... The little emperor has also developed the courage!
"I am going to bet on my own luck. I am going to see if I have such a dragon-eating fortune! If my life is so low that I can't even suppress the people of Songjiang Prefecture, then why would I carry out the reform of the Qing Dynasty?"
"I want to see if I am the true emperor who can reverse the country's destiny. If it were me, I would definitely not make a mistake here!"
"If I were in the small Songjiang Mansion, I would have been assassinated by assassins, which means that my fate was not that noble, and I would have died of the desire to reform the Qing Dynasty!"
Emperor Tongzhi half leaned on the imperial chariot, his eyes closed slightly and looked at the sky, as if there was a god and Buddha looking at him in the clouds!
"I'm just betting on this life!"
The so-called imperial chariot is actually the general term for the emperor's frame. It has different styles depending on the season, place, and inventory scale!
The imperial chariot brought by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this time is a common open-air style in the Forbidden City. The emperor relies on the open-air sedan chair carried by thirty-six people who travel between the palaces. It does not block the view, so that the emperor can easily see the scenery and allow the people around him to admire the emperor's charm.
But now there are no more than thirty-six people carrying the imperial chariot. The eunuch carrying the sedan chair has been squeezed and I don’t know where to hide it. Now it is just a crowded group of people walking towards Shanghai City with the sedan chair.
The fishermen in Dianshan Lake were closest to Emperor Tongzhi. They held wooden bars with their hands and raised them up desperately, with hands all around them, and they could not count them.
The excited people reached out to hold up whenever they saw a little bit of wood exposed by the imperial chariot. In the end, at least more than a hundred people were holding the imperial chariot, and there were thousands of arms around them holding the imperial chariot desperately trying to get rid of the emperor's blessing.
This is a crowded wave of people like fishes, crowded by more than a thousand people. The imperial chariot is no longer carrying it forward, but is pushed forward on the heads of the people!
People's hearts are like hot charcoal. If the emperor gives kindness to the people, he has to be grateful. Not to mention carrying a sedan chair, even if there are assassins assassins at this moment, these people dare to use their bodies to block them!
Thousands of years of imperial power myth and thousands of years of kingly thoughts! The people have a kind of worship like a king, father and god!
The little bit of the benefits of the emperor's alms can make the people feel grateful and even repay their lives!
Journalists from all over the world outside the crowd were also crazy. They quickly recorded such a rare scene with a camera. This is a very rare historical record!
"God! An unprecedented people-friendly emperor appeared in ancient China! This is the king of the Qing Empire influenced by European culture!"
"Only rulers educated on civil rights ideas know how powerful the people are!"
"I can be sure that the Qing Dynasty led by Emperor Tongzhi must have a very bright future! A spiritual emperor of the Qing Dynasty is really a gift from God!"
No one was too lazy to pay attention to the big nose in Europe. Anyway, the entire crowd of people who were welcomed slowly followed Emperor Tongzhi's imperial chariot. The officials who usually shouted were chasing behind like dogs, and all the tired white-haired sweat came out.
At this time, Wusongkou was still full of river embankments and warehouses. It took more than ten miles south to enter the bustling Bund. Emperor Tongzhi wanted this prestige, rather than really bringing 100,000 people to disrupt Shanghai City.
When he arrived at the east bank opposite the Bund, the little emperor suddenly opened his eyes and whispered, "No one was assassinating me? Isn't anyone really assassinating me?"
"Hahaha...hahaha... I'm going to cross the river by boat!"
After shouting three times in a row, the group of people surrounding Emperor Tongzhi stopped, and the imperial chariot slowly fell down, and the obedient people retreated in a circle and all knelt down.
When he walked down the imperial chariot, Emperor Tongzhi suddenly saw that the honest Dianshan Lake fisherman's arm was soaked with blood. The little emperor glared at him, "How to do it? Is there really an assassin dare to assassin me?"
