Chapter 964: The Storm is Coming

All the people are ready, just waiting for you to come, Li Zicheng!

Zhu Changxi had already set up an ambush on the road to Jinling.

If you dare to come, I will dare to ambush.

Zhu Changxi can be regarded as having put together all his own people.

They returned to Jiangsu from Sichuan and Shu.

The people outside are also spreading, and the street and alley are talking like this, and they are endless.

It seems that after a trip outside, Gu Zizhong's mind is like this.

She unconsciously thought that the rebels would really fight.

Until her eyeliner came to report that the rebels had retreated back to Jiangnan, she didn't dare to move at all.

Indeed, in the northwest, the imperial army has broken up the rebels' rearguards, and they have completely sealed the rebels' lair with men and horses.

The rebels had no way to retreat but to set up camp in Jiangnan.

But this is where the rebels are bad, and they treat the people like relatives.

Heck, two people don't know each other at all, and then all of a sudden they're like brothers.

Where does this make sense?

It turned out that the people were still afraid in their hearts, and a group of robbers came.

But later the people found out that after these people came, they did not touch anything in the people's house, and sometimes they helped the people to do things.

The point is that the rebels do not pay for food.

Not paying food, this is a big problem for the people to solve.

The people of Jiangnan didn't speak, as if nothing had happened.

Li Zicheng is a good king, and he is much stronger than the original Gao Yingxiang.

The original King Chuang was Gao Yingxiang, but he was killed by the court.

Li Zicheng became the new king of Chuang, and then really broke out of the world.

People just have to have dreams.

I remember that once upon a time, Li Zicheng was chased by the imperial court into the deep mountains and old forests, and there were only a few people in the old forests who didn't know what strange animals there were, and they escaped the pursuit of the imperial court.

Now, the sparrow has become a phoenix, and Li Zicheng also has capital.

Zhang Xianzhong's man still surrendered after a fight, and then ate the food and salary of the imperial court, and then rebelled when he was full.

So the court has a headache, these two guys have become the climate.

The imperial court of the Ming Dynasty definitely did not want to see any more chaos in the south, because the foundation of the imperial court was in the south, and the Jingshi was just the front line of the war.

If the Tile Thorns really attacked, and the court did not have the resistance of the nine sides, it would become a dangerous city.

The imperial court is under consideration, and many ministers hope that the imperial court can move south as soon as possible.

However, there is no news yet, and the emperor does not want to lose the territory of his ancestors.

But seeing that the Qing soldiers were about to break through the Shanhai Pass.

I don't know if that Wu Sangui will work.

The court is in chaos and has no backbone.

Jinling is no better.

Because after all, Zhenguo Gong has retired, and he doesn't know what to practice at home all day, anyway, he doesn't go out, as if he has been isolated from the world from now on.

Gu Zizhong already hated his father-in-law a little, and he didn't want to go to him at this time.

If there is something, Gu Zizhong will do it himself.

In the past few years, many businessmen have come to Gu Zizhong, hoping to talk about business with Gu Zizhong.

It's all at this moment, the world is in chaos, where does Gu Zizhong have the heart to care about what business is not business.

She didn't want to bother.

But it didn't take her a few times before she realized that these people weren't just here to discuss business.

Most of them still hope that the Zhu family will be their backer, in case the rebels are overwhelmed in the future and hit Jinling City, the Zhu family can help them.

In the war-torn times, it's good to be alive.

Therefore, those businessmen can only take care of their own lives and those of their families, and dare not ask about business.

It would be best to find the Zhu family to help manage the business.

When they came to talk, they also gave the Zhu family benefits.

In this way, after coming and going, the Zhu family in Jinling accumulated the benefits of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Gu Zizhong planned to use the money to train his troops.

The number of people in the Jinling barracks can only be large, not less.

Every time she instructed her subordinates to do the matter of military salaries, she always instructed and instructed, for fear that her subordinates would mess things up.

The food in the Jinling Barracks is relatively good, so this has also become a major highlight that attracts young men to join the Jinling Barracks.

It turns out that the veterans in the barracks are now out, and the recruits who have just come over can eat meat at every meal, which is really happy for them.

Because last year's grain harvest was not good, there was no food in many places.

The people are prone to cannibalism, and this is something that can happen.

However, there is still business in Jinling City, and there are shops on the side of the street.

This is a fairyland on earth.

So a lot of people are coming this way.

Gu Zizhong was very welcoming to them.

But after a month, Gu Zizhong found a problem.

Because more and more people are coming, Jinling City is almost unable to hold on.

Many of them are just ordinary people.

Gu Zizhong discussed with his brother to see how this kind of thing should be resolved.

Gu Shizi felt that this kind of thing was very easy to handle, so he directly locked up the outsiders and let them go to other places to beg for food.

Gu Zizhong felt that this was too ruthless, after all, many people were already homeless, and they were pitiful enough.

Gu Shizi gave a very simple sentence: "What about the people in Jinling City? Aren't they pitiful? We have experienced two battles to defend Jinling City, and we know all too well about war and bloodshed. If we want to protect our own city, we can't take it lightly. Rebels can always disguise themselves as beggars or vagrants. Can you tell which is the real people and which is the rebels?"

Brother's words completely stopped Gu Zizhong.

That's right, the rebels are really terrible, the two fires they set in Jinling City, Gu Zizhong still remembers it vividly.

Many rebels are just trying to grab and occupy.

If the court doesn't kill them again, I'm afraid it will be too late.

Gu Zizhong was worried.

She agreed with her brother's statement that in the future, the gate of Jinling City will be closed, not that whoever wants to come will come and leave.

If you leave, then make it clear in advance, if you encounter difficulties after you leave, I won't open the door for you when you come back!

Gu Shizi let go of such cruel words to the people.

Therefore, the people are all confined to their homes, and if they can go anywhere else, they will not go, and their lives will be saved.

Zhu Changxi finally replied to the letter, and when the messenger came back, he was almost beaten by Gu Shizi.

The messenger staggered, and by the time he arrived at the Zhu Mansion, his entire body had basically lost his strength.

Gu Zizhong took Brother Zishan's reply to the letter, and asked the messenger to go down to rest.

Zhu Changxi said in the letter that he didn't have to worry about him, he must wipe out the rebels. Otherwise, he won't come back.
