Liuzhou City is located in the north of central Guangxi, bordering the Liujiang River.

After several wars, it was rebuilt in the 12th year of Hongwu. It is different from the square shape common in the north to build a city, and it is also different from the ribbon or block plane cloth form in the south of the Yangtze River, it is an oval, the city wall is seven meters high, and the thickness is six meters, it is a solid city.

The door opening of the east gate is now the word "East Gate", signed "Hongwu 14th year in April", the city head is a magnificent city tower, like a tiger entrenched here.

"Let us in! Please let us in! ”

First, a group of refugees were driven out of the city, and then they joined the refugees outside the city, and more than 1,000 refugees gathered in front of the east gate and appealed together.

Facing this seven-meter-high wall, it is naturally impossible to climb into it. They only hoped that the general at the head of the city would order the gates of the city to be opened, and to open up the net for them to go to the city to join their relatives or beg.

With the advent of this drought, the crops in the fields have no grain output, and the most abundant grain stock is naturally this Liuzhou City, which is their hope for survival.

It's just that the reality is so cruel that they finally came to this rich city, only to be blocked from the city gates or driven out of the city, which is already to bury their hope of survival.

On top of the city tower, a general in light armor said impatiently: "Now that the city gate is closed, wait and leave as soon as possible, otherwise Hugh blames General Ben for being polite!" ”

"Please let us in!"

"We haven't done anything bad in the city, have we?"

"In this situation, where else can we go?"

……

The ragged refugees looked up pitifully at the general at the head of the city, and pleaded bitterly.

Looking at the surrounding territory, there is no place for them to live. Only by staying in Liuzhou City, only by waiting for the government's relief food, can they have a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Lord Baihu, no!" When a general saw Huang Chengsheng asking for a bow and arrow, he immediately dissuaded him.

Huang Chengsheng is one of the hundred households in Liuzhou City, and he is in charge of the guard of the east gate, but he ignored the general's dissuasion, and threatened the refugees below with a bow and arrow: "This general can't care about your life and death, leave here quickly, otherwise this general will release arrows!" ”

"This really wants us to die!"

"Is it rare that there is no place for us in this world?"

"With such an action, it's no wonder that Wei Yinbao's power is getting bigger and bigger!"

……

More than 1,000 refugees looked at the bows and arrows in the hands of Lord Huang Baihu in the city, and they couldn't help but feel helpless in their hearts, and they also had all kinds of grievances against the government and Liuzhou health.

It was at this time that a team of horses came from far and near, and came mightily towards this place.

When the refugees in the city saw this cavalry team, they also took the initiative to give way and looked at the team curiously.

"Who's coming?"

Huang Chengsheng originally wanted to take this opportunity to practice archery, but when he saw this mighty horse team, he asked loudly to the people who came to the city gate.

Lin Ping came to the city gate, grabbed the reins of the horse and reported to his home: "I am Lin Ping, the Nanyang patrolman, and I came here today to help with disaster relief, please open the city gate!" ”

When the refugees in the city heard Lin Pingping's words, their eyes couldn't help but give rise to a glimmer of hope, and they all looked at this heroic girl.

"Huh...... If General Ben remembers correctly, you don't have female officials in the Ming Dynasty, right? Seeing Lin Ping in front of the city gate, Huang Chengsheng said in a joking tone.

Lin Ping's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked seriously: "You are not my general?" ”

"Of course I am the general of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the hereditary hundred households of Liuzhou Wei!" Huang Chengsheng knew that he was speechless, and immediately explained.

Although the western part of Guangxi is the entrenched place of the Tusi, and the four local prefects are all in the Jiangyou region of Guangxi, the east does not say that all of them are Liuguan establishment.

Like Liuzhou Mansion, although the main governors here are all liuguan, there are more than 190 Tuqianhu, Tubaihu, Tu Inspection and Tudian History, etc., in fact, there are both liuguan and Tuguan.

Of course, these local officials are usually military positions, and they have no chance of promotion, but they are far inferior to Qi Jiguang's hereditary sons of military generals.

Although Huang Chengsheng could not reach the height of Tusi, he also obtained the hereditary status of Tubaihu, and lived in the position of Baihu in Liuzhou over the years, and his soldiers were his absolute descendants.

"Lin Xunpress, please wait a moment, I will open the city gate for you!" Niu Dongsheng, the county of Maping County, was the lord of Qingyuan County, Guangzhou Prefecture in the past, and he had been paying attention to the movements of officialdom, but he recognized Lin Pingping's identity at a glance, so he first shouted below, and then accused the soldiers of opening the city gate.

Huang Chengsheng has never cared about the affairs of the Ming court, and at this time he asked unexpectedly: "Is there really a female official in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"The governor of Nanyang personally appointed by the emperor last year, she is the sister of Lin Haoran, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, you can see it clearly with wide eyes!" Niu Dongsheng hurriedly explained, and hurriedly went down to the city tower to greet Lin Pingping, the Nanyang patrol.

The city gate opened, and Hu Niu and her party came in.

"Xiaguan Maping County Chengniu Dongsheng greets the Inspector!" Ma Dongsheng faced Lin Pingping, but he did the salute of the lower official without any psychological hindrance.

"The last will join the patrol!"

Huang Chengsheng first glanced at Lin Pingping, and then bowed his hand.

Although his official position is lower than that of Niu Xiancheng, he believes that he is a hundred households, and in the face of such a girl, he does not intend to kneel and bow with him.

Lin Ping's gaze fell on Huang Jisheng, but he asked in a calm voice: "You just said: You are the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"General Ben made a slip of the tongue!" Huang Jisheng's brows frowned slightly, but he said impatiently.

Lin Pingping's face was still serious, and he gave an order: "Come on, slap your mouth!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding atmosphere immediately became tense.

"You dare!" Huang Jisheng thought he had misheard, and said angrily with his eyes in his eyes.

Lin Ping looked at the soldiers around him and immediately asked with a straight face: "Are you Mo also like him, and you don't want to admit that you are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

These men who were about to move exchanged glances with each other, although many of them had always made a clear distinction between themselves and the Ming soldiers, but they were subordinate to the Ming Dynasty after all.

If you act rashly at this juncture, it is really a rebellion. After all, their Huang Baihu was indeed open-mouthed, and he actually said such a rebellious thing.

"Someone! Come! ”

Huang Chengsheng's figure is not dominant, especially the burly person in front of him, but he wants to cry for help.

"Who dare? Do you want to rebel? ”

Niu Dongsheng, the county of Maping County, also stood up at this time and shouted at the surrounding soldiers.

Huang Chengsheng immediately fell into a helpless situation, two brocade guards stepped forward to hold him up, and the rice bowl picked up his palm and threw it heavily at Huang Jisheng's face.

Syllable!

The rice bowl unceremoniously slapped a heavy slap, and the sound echoed in front of the city gate, so that Huang Chengsheng's mouth was immediately full of blood.

It's just that this is not over, and the rice bowl slapped ten times in a row, making the surrounding soldiers tremble. Huang Chengsheng's whole face was swollen like a pig's head, and he no longer had the power he had just now, but he was like a dead dog.
