Li Lin followed him up the steps. The door of Liaodong Dumpling Restaurant was not big. It was only about four or five meters long. Apart from the door, there were only two narrow walls left.

That door is still arched, and that door is more like a smaller version of a city gate.

Very Chinese, very Chinese.

The wall behind the door is very thick, almost a meter thick.

This is the problem with the Russians. Building anything is like building a turret.

The dimly lit corridor was so long that Li Lin felt like he was burrowing into the ground.

The corridor echoed with the nagging voice of the landlady, saying that this place was originally a treasury for a wealthy family, but later the wealthy family failed and was bought by themselves.

It is actually not easy for Russian nobles. When the Mongols were here two hundred years ago, they had to send the bride to the home of the Mongolian leader the day before the wedding.

This is the so-called first night right!

An ancient legend says that the first man to possess a woman will bury his own seed inside her body.

No matter which man that woman gives birth to in the future, that child will more or less have a shadow of the first man.

Li Lin has also heard of this kind of thing, and it is said that it is very accurate.

Some people even uncovered a pre-marriage adultery based on the fact that their child looked like the daughter-in-law’s neighbor.

The document from the local newspaper stated that after the truth of the matter was found out, the couple was put to death.

Li Xiao read this document to his son, and Li Lin had a very deep memory.

My father once asked himself seriously what he saw in this memorial.

Li Lin said that maybe the man and woman were innocent.

Li Xiao said that he saw a stubborn disease.

Since ancient times, imperial decrees have not been issued to counties!

In other words, the decrees issued by the imperial court can only be issued to the county officials.

As for the vast areas below the county magistrate level, they are actually governed by villagers' self-government.

And the family power in those places is the person who upholds justice in the family.

Especially in places where the local ancestral halls are very powerful, grandpa must be seen even if a child is born at home.

As long as the grandpa opened the swaddling clothes and saw the baby inside, he would allow the child to enter the ancestral hall.

This is a very important moment for the child. From then on, the child found an organization composed of blood relatives.

When people have problems, they will go to the elders of the clan, grandpa. When people have disputes, they will also go to the elders of the clan, grandpa.

When people have criminal cases, they will also go to the elders of the clan, Grandpa.

In fact, the grassroots organizations of the Ming Dynasty have been such an autonomous system for thousands of years.

This system has maintained the operation of Chinese civilization for thousands of years, and has also become a chronic disease that has plagued the Chinese nation for thousands of years.

A person's loyalty to his family is far greater than his loyalty to his country.

In fact, many people only have home but no country in their hearts.

That's why there were Shi Jingtang and Zhang Hongfan, and the Chinese nation also opened up the family surnamed Liu and killed the family surnamed Ying.

The man surnamed Cao killed the man surnamed Liu, and then the Sima family took his place.

The surname is Zhao, Er Zhijin, Zhu...!

The family and the world are in turmoil from generation to generation.

Li Xiao wanted to end this era of family and world affairs and wanted to disintegrate the local clan power.

But even as the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiao was unable to complete this matter.

After all, the accumulation time is too long, and the precipitation of thousands of years cannot be reversed in a short period of time.

This requires the efforts of one generation, two generations, or even several generations.

There will be bloodshed, all kinds of turmoil, and all kinds of dark, bright, just, despicable things or people will appear.

I can't finish it, so I need you to do it.

Li Lin could not forget the solemnity with which Li Xiao said this. It was a kind of heaviness that was close to faith.

Darkness always makes people think wildly. Li Lin, who was in this dim corridor, remembered his father's words for some reason.

Li Lin, who was thinking wildly, was pulled back to reality by the door opened by the landlady.

If he didn't understand words like "sudden enlightenment" before, then the moment the door opened, he really understood it.

The hall at the end of the corridor is as big as two basketball courts.

The huge chandelier coated everything in the room with a dazzling white light!

This is the latest Ming technology, the incandescent lamp.

The light emitted by this thing is much brighter than a light bulb of the same wattage.

It is obvious that it is not easy for the owner of Liaodong Dumpling Restaurant to get this thing.

There are more than a dozen banquet seats scattered in the huge hall, and there is a large stage in the middle.

Two Russian girls in cool clothes were twisting their snake-like bodies on the stage.

Most of those eating and drinking were soldiers of the Ming Army. There was not a single Russian in sight!

Ordinary people in Russia can barely afford to eat, and the higher-ranking nobles are not willing to mix with ordinary Ming soldiers.

This place has naturally become the world of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, the waiters serving the dishes are still Russians.

After all, this is Russia, and it's cheaper to use them.

Li Lin saw a thick hand touching the butt of the waitress and was slapped.

Soon several Ming bronze guys stuffed their way into the girl's bulging breasts. The Russian girl who had looked disgusted just now immediately smiled like a flower, hugged her bearded face and kissed her sweetly.

"Holy shit, old Mongolia." The old monkey laughed out loud when he saw the big man holding the Russian beauty.

"Hey! Lao Hou!" The bearded guy immediately stood up and gave the old monkey a big hug.

Unfortunately, the physical gap was too great. From Li Lin's point of view, he just hugged the old monkey.

"Yo! Okay, he became a major and became a battalion commander?" The old monkey saw that Bayan's military rank had been raised by one level.

"Ah! The general said that the Mongolian camp is now all Mongolian. It seems a bit inappropriate for a Han to be the battalion commander.

I'll be the fucking battalion commander!

To be a battalion commander, you have to come to Moscow for training. Damn it, if you don’t know a lot of Chinese characters, what’s the point of training?

Without saying anything else, we sat at the table and drank together.

This is...!"

Bayan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Li Lin was actually wearing the rank of major at such a young age.

"Oh, this is Brother Li. He is on official business. This is his brother-in-law, who is also on official duty.

We are all old acquaintances, and we are coming over for a drink today. If you are not familiar with each other, we will not share the table."

"How can that be done? Our Mongolian friends are here, how can we not drink.

Two brothers, if you don't mind, drink together.

I just put on this card, I'm treating you today!" Bayan spoke in difficult Ming dialect and warmly invited Li Lin and Zhao Liangdong.

The old monkey looked at Li Lin in embarrassment, wondering if Mr. Li was willing to drink with these rough guys.

"become!

It's just that my drinking capacity is not as good as yours, and I have to be on duty at night. I can only drink a little less!"

Li Lin knew that this was the famous Mongolian camp.

On the Tsaritsyn front line, we once fought against the French army for one day and two nights.

Although more than two-thirds of the soldiers were injured or killed, they still persevered and refused to take a step back.

Li Xiao gave these Mongolians a general commendation order!

Since the Liao army had short hair, gradually the entire Ming army began to have short hair.

Along with it, the beards in the army also disappeared.

Each and every one of them has their chins shaved cleanly!

The Mongolian camp is an exception, everyone has a thick beard.

Of course, there is also the Mongolian mustache.

No one cared about them. Even Li Xiao said it was a national characteristic and there was no need to force it.

"When we Mongolians come to the table, they are friends. Since we have business, we should drink less."

He was not very familiar with Li Lin, so if he were an old monkey, Bayan would definitely not say that.
