Chang Yu has an excellent memory, although the palace has a winding path, he doesn't need his family to lead the way and go straight to the north gate, and on the way, he happened to meet the prince Zhu Ci'an, who turned back, and hurriedly saluted him: "Is the factory governor going out, your subordinates are still asleep......"

Chang Yu passed by and didn't stop, Zhu Ci'an hurriedly said: "Is the factory governor going out of the palace, you are not familiar with Qingzhou, why don't you bring a few family members to guide the way?"

"This governor has someone to guide the way, the prince doesn't need to worry about it, go and help your father do something practical, don't be busy in the palace and be useless" Chang Yu didn't go back out of the palace, and Zhu Ci'an looked at his back with a complicated expression.

Chang Yu went out of the palace and looked left and right, and then went to the street along the palace avenue towards the north, but saw that the streets and alleys were full of chaos, and the people were running towards the city gate with large bags and small bags, and couldn't help shaking their heads and smiling bitterly, and took out the token from his arms and tied it around his waist, and slowly walked along the street with his right hand holding the handle of the Qingque knife on his waist.

Several cavalry officers and soldiers galloped through the streets: the Tartars were about to approach the city, and Li Garrison ordered the city gate to be closed, and the people hurried home......

"Ah, the city gates are closed, what if we can't get out?" There was a cry on the street, and the people were panicked when the Tartars were coming, if it was a few thousand people, it would be fine, but how could tens of thousands of troops resist, and it was really as Chang Yu expected, many people wanted to go out of the city and take refuge in the mountains.

Chang Yu, who was walking north along the street, dragged a person next to him, asked the direction of the nearest West Gate, turned into an alley, walked more than ten steps and suddenly turned back, looked at the two people a few steps behind him, and said in a low voice: "Wangfu's?" Or is it Jinyiwei's? ”

The two big men looked at the token on his waist, hugged his fists and said, "But the brother of Dongchang?" ”

Chang Yu smiled slightly: "You two don't have very good eyes, haven't you seen clearly since you left the palace?" As he spoke, he picked up the token and threw it over.

The person in front took it and smiled: "We have been working on errands outside for a long time, and we don't ...... the waist cards of the brothers in the east factory of Beijing" said that his eyes swept the token in his hand, and knelt down with a puff: "The little brocade guard Guo Chongshan visited the master of the factory" This suddenly knelt, startling the man behind him for a moment, but the reaction was also fast: "The little Wen Han visited the factory master."

Chang Yu frowned: "Get up, when is Jinyiwei fashionable!" ”

"No, no, no, the little one, the little one didn't expect it to be you...... I couldn't help it, "Guo Chongshan is also an interesting person, saying that he thought that Chang Yu was an ordinary fan of the East Factory, and he might even be a Jinyi Wei who listened to orders in the East Factory, but he didn't know that he was the big man of the East Factory, and everything was so sudden that he knelt down in shock."

Jinyiwei, the most bullish intelligence agency of the Ming Dynasty, once laid out overseas, and all the cities in the Ming Dynasty are even more bright and dark, and wherever there is a vassal king, there must be, as for why everyone understands.

These Jinyi guards, who were in charge of monitoring the vassal kings, found out that the palace was changing early in the morning, and King Heng, who had always lived in a shallow place, actually went out of the city to meet a group of soldiers and horses, which aroused their curiosity, and then the whole city was rumored that the Tartars were coming, and there were people from Dongchang who came to supervise the war or something.

So they took it to heart and controlled the palace, and sure enough, they saw that Chang Yu was very suspicious when he went out of the mansion alone, and then he followed him all the way when he saw the sign on his waist, but he was already discovered by Chang Yu, so he took over in this alley.

"How many people are there in the city," Chang Yu asked.

"There are fifteen light and dark in total" Wen Han hurriedly said, Chang Yu sighed, and nodded lightly: "The order will be all revealed, two people will be arranged at each of the four city gates, and the officers and soldiers guarding the gate shall not let people enter and exit for personal gain, Wen Han, you will do this" said and pointed to Guo Chongshan again: "You go around with the governor."

Wen Han took the order to go, Chang Yu went west under the leadership of Guo Chongshan, and soon arrived near the West Gate, and saw a sea of people from a distance, bustling with people, crying and scolding, crowding people who wanted to go out of the city, thinking that outside the West Gate was the reckless mountains.

"Factory man, there are too many people to squeeze in" Guo Chongshan tried a lot to think about it, but in vain, he was mistaken for cutting in line and was almost beaten.

Chang Yu raised his head and glanced at the city wall: "Take me to the city."

I have to say that Li Shiyuan's execution is very high, and Chang Yu ordered his people to immediately seal the city gate, but it aroused the anger of the people.

"The Tartars are coming, and if you don't let us out of the city, do you want us to die here......

"Yes, open the door, we want to go out, if you want to die, you will die, let us out......"

"On the orders of the garrison and the prefect, in order to prevent the Tartars from entering the city, all the gates of the city will be closed immediately, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave.

"I'm afraid that the spies will not be allowed to enter the city, so why do you want to lock us up in the city?" Some people questioned loudly, which resonated.

"I will act as I am ordered, do not make a fuss and go home quickly, the army of the Tartars is coming soon, do not think that it is safe to go out of the city and enter the mountains, they will still go into the mountains to hunt you down, and besides, you can survive for a few days without food in the mountains...... Rest assured, Li Garrison will defend Qingzhou City with you......" The leader of the officers and soldiers guarding the gate would also say.

"It is your duty to defend the city and kill the Tartars, even if you die in battle, it is a matter of course, but why should we be buried with us" Someone cried hysterically, and the people echoed it.

"Li Shiyuan swore to defend the city because this is his home, but don't forget, this is also your home! Officers and soldiers can risk their lives to protect your homeland, why do you give up your home so easily! ”

Just when the crowd was excited, a person at the head of the city roared loudly, and instantly suppressed all kinds of sounds, and the people under the city looked up and saw the two standing on the city wall, but they couldn't see the appearance clearly.

The people were silent for a moment, but soon another voice rang out: "But we want to live!" ”

"Yes, we want to live!" The echo was loud.

"Who said that if you leave the city, you will be able to live, and who said that you will definitely die in the city, the Tartars are coming to level Qingzhou City, why can't you drive them away and hold on to your homeland! We have swords, arrows, money, food, people, and city walls, what are we afraid of, is it that the Tartars are three heads and six arms?" Chang Yu yelled at the head of the city, as long as we can defend the city, we can all live!

The people in the city immediately discussed: If you have money and food, where will you get the money and food......

"Prince Heng has made a decision, he is willing to spend all his family property to defend his homeland with the army and the people, and the squires in the city are also donating money and food, as long as you take up arms and bravely participate in the war to protect Qingzhou City, it is much better to share money and food than to starve to death in the deep mountains and old forests."

One sentence suddenly made the discussion loud below, Chang Yu saw that the heat was about the same, so he said again: "Folks, please go home first, and later the prefect will personally come forward to make a notice, and finally tell you one thing, we also have tens of thousands of reinforcements outside the city!" ”

"And tens of thousands of reinforcements?" The people's hearts immediately stabilized, and Chang Yu then gave Guo Chongshan a look, and Guo Chongshan shouted to the city: "Li Shoubei has an order, if there are those who forcibly leave the city or open the door privately, or those who gather to make trouble, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

Ah, the people under the city were shocked, and some people began to disperse slowly.

It was Qian Lianghan's job to appease the people, but I don't know where he was busy at this time, Chang Yu took care of it by the way, and walked along the city wall towards the north.

Looking at the two of them, the officers and soldiers guarding the entrance of the city exhaled a long breath, and one said: "I didn't even know that there were Jinyi guards in our Qingzhou City, I thought it was a joke when they showed the sign just now, hey, you said that our Qingzhou City is not big, why are the Jinyi guards here......"

"Are you stupid," the other kicked him, and then pointed to the southwest corner of his feet, where the Hengwang Mansion was located.

Several people suddenly looked at each other.
