Drive, drive, drive,

On the official road to Taiyuan in the north, Chang Yu braved the cold wind to beat his horse and galloped, followed by the three hundred palace soldiers, and secretly scolded in his heart that the damn weather was too cold.

He worked hard and used all kinds of means to direct this deceptive drama, naturally not to play Li Zicheng, but to delay the defense of Taiyuan and consolidate the fortifications.

Now it has been delayed for three or four days, almost to the limit, and the last trump card of King Jin tomorrow will be revealed, and it will also be the end of the play, and then it will be a life-and-death situation.

King Jin is still sad, Cai Maode and Song Lian and others are still planning how to perform tomorrow, Zhou Yuji and Niu Yong have discussed the offensive and defensive countermeasures, and he has nothing to do here, so he quickly returned to Taiyuan to urge to inspect the progress of the fortifications.

The group hurried up, and before noon, they arrived outside Taiyuan City, and five miles away, they encountered a vigilant patrol team, and they were released after routine inspection in accordance with the regulations.

At this time, although it is five miles away from Taiyuan City, it is very lively, to be precise, it is the construction of the labor army in full swing.

Chang Yu mobilized the refugees in the city, requisitioned the tools of the residents in the city, and made every effort to build fortifications, which lasted for 12 hours a day, although it was only a few days, and the results were remarkable.

The trenches were waist-deep and crossed, which made it difficult for the cavalry and artillery of the thieves to approach so easily.

The moat has also been widened, and although the water surface is frozen, the ice is already densely covered with spiky wooden branches.

After Chang Yu entered the city, he immediately summoned Ying Shisheng, Zhao Jianji and other civil and military personnel in the city to discuss matters on the tower of the South Gate.

He is the commander of Dongchang, and he is ordered to supervise the army Taiyuan, although he is young, although he is a eunuch who is looked down upon, but under an order, everyone dares to disobey, not to mention that after the last time he fought in the governor's yamen, he beat Fu Qingzhu violently, and his majesty was even greater.

In the lobby of the city tower, Chang Yu sat in the center, listening to Ying Shisheng and others report on their respective responsibilities with an expressionless face.

In another day, the outer fortifications can be roughly completed, the moat has been completed, the city wall has been splashed with water and frozen, the city's armaments are like sasswood, the boulders are also prepared, several artillery pieces have been moved to the southeast city wall, and gunpowder and other firearms are still being manufactured......

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, everything that can be thought of is preparing or ready, to put it simply, he now has money, food and soldiers, and preparations, Li Zicheng wants to attack hard at this time, so it is best to weigh his catties.

Chang Yu was still very excited in his heart, because this was the first time he had commanded a big battle, and he had made so many preparations, he was even a little impatient to wrestle with Li Zicheng.

At the end of the meeting, everyone dispersed, and Fang San helped Chang Yu cook a plate of mutton on the city tower, and a few steamed buns were lunch.

was gobbling up, a brocade guard came to report, Wang Jimo asked to see!

Xuanda Governor Wang Jimo is finally here! Chang Yu has been so busy recently that he has forgotten about him, and he doesn't even know that he called him over.

This empty shelf governor is now completely hollowed out by Chang Yu, and there is only one signboard left, and it is still good to use it as a gunman, for example, it is quite useful to let him wander around Taiyuan City to pacify and stabilize the people's hearts.

"Inform him that the governor is busy with affairs and has no time to see him, and let him go to Sun Kang, the prefect of Taiyuan, and reassure the people," Chang Yu said lightly.

He knew that after the Taiyuan incident was over, Wang Jimo's fate was to return to his hometown, and it was either Wei Jingyu or Cai Maode who took his position, he believed that with his ability at this time, recommending one of the two would be valued by Chongzhen, but he was still struggling with who to recommend.

In a secret house in the north of the city, Chang Yu, who was full of water and food, was leaning on a chair, holding a pot of tea in his hand and blowing gently, and there were four people standing beside him, Qin Xing, Zheng Xingguo, Jiang Quan, and Yan Deshou.

Qin, Zheng, and Yan are all the leaders of the East Factory and belong to Chang Yu's direct subordinates, but because Chang Yu's admiral was temporarily airborne, and these three people were all ordered to assist him, so to put it bluntly, they were actually sent by Chongzhen to keep an eye on him.

Only Jiang Quan, this product was originally a thorn in Chang Yu's dormitory, and was later subdued into a confidant, Chang Yu sent him and Qin Xing to work, and the purpose was self-evident.

"Factory Gong, I saw that one hundred and thirty-seven people have been arrested in a few days, and all of them are locked up in prison to wait for the fate of the ......" Qin Xing began to report to work, these days the officials of the Yamen are busy appeasing the people's hearts and rallying the people's hearts, and these people are secretly catching spies, walking rumors to smear the thief army.

In just a few days, more than 100 people were arrested.

"Have you ever censored it? Are there any wrongful arrests? Chang Yu asked lightly.

"It is not excluded that there are people who are wronged, but there is no evidence to prove his innocence", Qin Xingdao, there are too many things like people in Dongchang creating unjust cases and false cases, but in Chang Yu's hands, they are still very cautious and cautious, and they don't dare to go too far after they can't figure out the preferences of this young master who has just taken the position.

And they have their own unique means of doing things, such as the secret agents who are arrested, almost all of them are single, and the suspicion is already very big, and most of the refugees who flee are dragging their families with their families.

"Those who have already been determined, those who have confessed, and those who have corrected each other are to be beheaded in public, and those who are not determined are to be detained first, and later to be decided." Chang Yu pondered for a moment and said.

"Yes, my lord," the four of them bowed their heads in unison.

"Also, recently, attention has been focused on the army, especially the team responsible for defending the city gates, and those middle and lower-ranking officers have been secretly watched, and the governor does not want to make trouble during the special period." Chang Yu is most worried about the appearance of a traitor in the army like Zhang Xiong.

Leaving the small courtyard, Chang Yu went to the barracks to inspect again, and only took Fang San, Chunxiang and Hu Ling, the four of them on the street, of course, behind him, there were at least twenty people following him, if someone didn't want to make any moves, it was guaranteed to be cut into pulp in an instant.

Because it is daytime, almost all the refugees in the city, whether old or young, women and children, are outside the city to earn extra money, the city is not so crowded, but it is also much more than usual, mainly because of the current situation, the residents of the city are flocking to the streets or teahouses and restaurants, and groups of people are talking about it and asking for the latest news.

In addition, under the auspices of Fu Qingzhu, the director of the academy, the scholars of the academy held rallies and speeches in the prosperous areas of various neighborhoods, and concentrated their firepower to discredit the thief army.

Chang Yu walked and stopped, chatting with Chunxiang expressionlessly, and walked from the north of the city to the south of the city unconsciously.

"Big brother, find a teahouse to sit for a while," Chunxiang proposed.

Chang Yu just thought about it, and suddenly glanced to the east, and then smiled: "With such weather, the wind and the sun are beautiful, you will be damned if you go to drink tea!" ”

Sunny? Chunxiang and Hu Ling, Fang San and the three of them looked up at the gloomy sky, the factory should not be blind.

Chang Yu is naturally not blind, and his eyesight is very good, because he suddenly saw the high wall of the palace, and suddenly thought that Zhu Xianxuan was not at home, and suddenly thought of what a good time, at this time, it is better not to tease Zhu Zhi'e, and I am afraid that there will be no time after today.

It turned out to be the county lord who was worried about the Jin Palace, although the factory didn't have a cock, but he was magnificent, as soon as he saw Chang Yu walking towards the palace, Hu Ling and Fang San squeezed their eyebrows at each other, but Chun Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew that Chang Yu was a gunman.

The front of the palace has always been quiet, and ordinary people must pass by silently and gently, and they must not make loud noises.

There are two sides to everything, there is no contradiction between quiet and the city, as the palace has no white ding, the city is rich, the literati and inkmen, and the court officials will come to visit every day.

However, because King Jin has gone out recently, few people in the palace have come to visit, and it is indeed quiet to the extreme.

However, at this time, Chang Yu saw a carriage parked at the gate of the palace from a distance, the car was a luxury car, and it would be more than a BMW 5 Series in the future.

With such a luxury car, there is naturally an entourage, and more than ten people in black are standing on the left and right, but Chang Yu's eyes are still focused on a young man in front of the palace, he is talking to the housekeeper of the palace, and he also took something from his arms and stuffed it into the housekeeper while talking.

From the chrysanthemum smile on the butler's face, I guessed that it was silver and the like.

Slowly approaching, Chang Yu saw the young man's appearance clearly, to be exact, he should not be a young man, about thirty, his face was white and beardless, his eyes were black, and he looked like he was overindulgent, but he was quite upright, and his writing was polite and angry.

"Uh, uh, the factory man...... The butler who was talking to the young man suddenly caught a glimpse of Chang Yu, and his face suddenly changed, and then he trotted over and saluted Chang Yu, and the face of the young man next to him also changed, and he didn't know how to be stunned for a while.

Chang Yu waved his hand slightly, raised his hand and pointed at the middle-aged man; "Who is he and what is he doing?"
