Because the soldiers defending the city originally had no combat effectiveness, that is, they usually saw whose house was stolen and went to check it. Which family quarreled, go over to mediate, that's all.

If they were to be armed and fight the wolf-like rebels outside the city, it would really be difficult for them.

Everyone is afraid of death, and those who say that they are not afraid of death are either fools or pretending to be blind.

There are really people who are not afraid of death, but they have to have a spirit higher than ordinary people.

Obviously, none of these soldiers are guarding the city in Jinling now.

They just want to earn some military salaries, support themselves, and support their families.

But now the rebels are coming.

The commander ordered them to defend to the death, and also personally went to Zhu's house to lobby Gu Zizhong, hoping that she could come forward to help.

After all, Gu Zizhong is still the backbone of the people of Jinling City, because Gu Zizhong has done a lot of things for Jinling City.

Everyone believed her.

The commander also believed in her.

Gu Zi has regained the woman in front of millions of men.

She suddenly felt much taller.

But with great power comes great responsibility.

Gu Zizhong hoped that he could comfort the panicked hearts of the people in the city.

In fact, she herself knows that maybe the rebels are coming for the Zhu family in Jinling.

The rebels captured the city several times, but they were all to pacify the people. That's why the people spread the word that the gates of the city were opened to meet the king, and when the king came, he didn't pay for food.

But this Zhang Xianzhong, not necessarily, this goods is a serious loading.

He said last night that he would surrender to the imperial court, and he would be able to repent this morning.

And he couldn't count the number of people he killed.

It is estimated that there are more people than ordinary people have seen.

Who would dare to provoke such a person, and who would dare to let it in?

Anyway, Gu Zizhong didn't dare.

She still went up to the castle tower with her apprehensive heart, and looked at the downtown area, which was quiet.

The guards of the Zhu family in Jinling protected her safety at all times.

When she got down from the tower, many people rushed up.

The guards were almost unable to stop it, as if they were seeing a star, and the people scratched their ears and cheeks, and their emotions were simply uncontrollable.

However, the first thing the big guys said when they hugged them was not to ask if they could take a group photo, but to ask when the rebels would attack the city.

Gu Zizhong knows where to go.

She can only tell everyone, please be patient a little longer, the soldiers and horses of the Jinling Barracks will be back soon.

Then this wave of people was relieved and went back.

And then the next wave.

With so many twists and turns, back and forth, Gu Zizhong estimated that he had answered the same question eight thousand times.

What could she do?

Even if she was tired of her body and bones, she had to appease the people.

After all, the people are important, if the Jinling Zhu family can't even protect the people, then don't be the princes and their men.

Gu Zizhong should not be this young lady.

The family members saw that the young lady was so conscientious, but they pushed themselves to the edge of the cliff.

Someone persuaded her: "The young lady has a message, let us just run and talk to the people." If the crowd is mixed with rebel spies and the safety of the young lady, it is very likely that we will not be able to protect it well. ”

Gu Zizhong also thinks so, she is more afraid of pain than anyone else.

Not to mention life and death, it hurts enough to let people scratch it.

But she just went in a daze, maybe this confusion is called responsibility.

She made a few casual jokes and broke up the big guy.

When everyone left, Gu Zizhong helped her old waist back to the room.

As soon as she pushed the door, she found Qing'er and her second son waiting for her.

Both children have grown up, different from him.

Gu Zizhong didn't understand the things of the Four Books and Five Classics, but these two children kept fooling Gu Zizhong with the things of the scriptures.

I see you understand it very well, and you seem to be very powerful.

Gu Zizhong is annoyed, you all learn those things to test your wife?

The eldest is called Qing'er, and the second is called Hui'er.

Wisdom anyway.

It seems to be as good as the name suggests.

Gu Zizhong still loved his two sons very much, and when she entered the door of the room, he picked them up.

Qing'er knew that he deliberately came to contradict his mother a few days ago, and it was his fault.

But Gu Zizhong didn't care about it for a long time.

So the mother and son began to talk again.

This time, the topic still can't run, it's the rebels outside the city.

The two children have grown up, and Gu Zizhong understands that she can't hide it.

Instead of talking nonsense, it is better to tell the truth directly to the two children.

She is pessimistic about the situation, because there is one and two in everything, and it is difficult to have a third.

The rebels attacked for the first time, but it didn't work. The second attack has not yet been completed. This is the third time......

She didn't dare to think about it.

But Qing'er said: "Mother, I always feel that my father is about to come back with the troops." We don't have to be pessimistic here. ”

Gu Zizhong was intrigued by Qing'er's words, and hurriedly asked, "Oh, how do you know?"

As a result, Qing'er stopped talking.

Then Hui'er said: "My father told me before he left that he wanted me to wait for him to come back." He personally promised to bring me the pastry from the back to taste. ”

Gu Zizhong's eyes moistened.

Perhaps, Brother Zishan's promise has always been fulfilled.

I guess I want to do it this time.

However, Gu Zizhong just didn't know the result, because the rebels had surrounded Jinling City again, not to mention people, it was difficult for even a bird to fly over.

Gu Zizhong didn't know about Brother Zishan's situation, and she had no way to get in touch with the outside.

So she could only respond to Hui'er with a dull smile and tell him, your father will definitely come back.

But that's exactly how she feels.

Because...... Not because.

Anyway, that's how it feels, and I usually feel like there's going to be something, it's just something.

I can't tell, I can't tell.

Maybe this is a woman's sixth sense, she doesn't know.

She just felt that Brother Zishan would rush back with the soldiers.

But at this time, Jingshi can be regarded as falling into passivity.

Li Zicheng insisted on attacking the Beijing Division, and the troops were approaching the city, and the emperor had no choice to make.

The only option is to fight.

Won the battle, that's good, Jingshi has been saved, and Daming has been saved.

If you lose the battle, don't say anything, it's over.

At this time, the general in the capital was Lu Xiangsheng alone.

Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Sun Chuanting, they are all outside.

Wu Sangui's guy stayed in Shanhaiguan and didn't move, and he didn't send anyone back to express it.

What is the situation, what should I do...... None of these problems exist.

The emperor didn't know what medicine was sold in Wu Sangui's gourd.

Geng Jingzhong didn't know where he was at this time.

When the emperor was looking at it, he still thought of Zhu Changxi.
