The Tartar army came to the city, the people in the city were terrified, and when they heard that the Ming army was defeated out of the city, panic turned into fear, and everyone was in danger, because they all knew that the thief army entered the city and plundered the rich gentry at most, but the Tartars entered the city indiscriminately, burned, killed, raped, and did all kinds of evil, and then all the people and animals were taken away to the bitter cold and barren land.

All kinds of rumors flew in the city, and the nobles were not as frightened as ordinary people, after all, their sources came from the top and were more realistic, for example, the Qing army may not attack the city this time, and there have been similar situations in previous years, not to mention that even if they attack, they may not be attacked.

But after all, everything is unknown, and it is impossible not to panic, so they have sent their families around to inquire about the news, and some even tried to go to the city to watch, but they were blocked by the soldiers defending the city.

If they put on a show in the past, those Beijing soldiers did not dare to stop it, but now the whole city is under martial law, the city defense is important, and the people of Jinyi Wei and Dongchang are all over the city gates.

And at this juncture of the fire, Wu Mengming went crazy again, went door-to-door to force donations, took his own family to pound on the door in front of the house, not to mention, but also entangled hundreds or even thousands of people cheering and shouting and pressuring, the common people are just like this, if there is a lively, you must watch, if there is something, you must coax, the so-called people who are lively are not afraid of big things, and the hatred of the rich mentality has been ,...... since ancient times Hundreds of years later, people's quality has generally improved, but forced donations and moral kidnapping often occur, not to mention at this time, and it is worth the national disaster.

Many nobles, especially those whose backgrounds are not very strong, had to grit their teeth and donate, and some really couldn't take so much, Wu Mengming also accepted it when he saw it, beckoned, and the next one.

Soft persimmons are easy to pinch, and there are also those that don't go in with oil and salt, no matter how you make a fuss, you don't open the door, and you don't see anyone, but Wu Mengming's methods are even more disgusting, smashing the door and pouring and urine, and all kinds of indiscriminate means are exhausted, and the people in the house are so angry that they don't dare to go out to face it, so they have to sneak out quietly and join forces with a few hard backgrounds to enter the palace and kill Wu Mengming.

But at this time, the situation outside the city was critical, how could Emperor Chongzhen have time to deal with them, he didn't see them at all, everyone asked to see them again and again, which provoked the emperor's anger, and sent Gong Yonggu out of the palace to reprimand: "The head of the national disaster is the responsibility of the husband, what's wrong with donating some silver?" You wait for the king to eat but don't know the matter of loyalty, it can be said that you are disloyal, and you have today's glory all thanks to the ancestors of Fuyiner, and now you have lost all the style, humiliated the ancestors, that is, unfilial piety. Since you are disloyal and unfilial, what face do you have to ask to see the emperor here, not to mention that you can't worry about the monarch and make trouble, don't you really think about future generations?"

These words are heavy, very heavy, and they also imply intimidation, Zhu Xungui didn't know whether this was the emperor's meaning or Gong Yonggu's personal emotions, his heart was slightly cold, and he went back to the house with red ears and red ears.

Wu Mengming was busy taking advantage of the situation to force donations, and the other way of people and horses obtained is also gratifying, Octopus Chamber of Commerce and more than ten businessmen in the city launched a fundraiser, the big families and ordinary people in the city have enthusiastic, this is not forced to donate, all rely on consciousness, when the enemy soldiers are in the city, it is also the time when the people's hearts are the most united, they all know that the city is broken, the family is ruined, they are willing to let the money and food come out to let the officers and soldiers kill the enemy to protect their homes and lives.

The people who take advantage of the situation are busy, and the people who make the momentum are very quiet, a teahouse near Andingmen was requisitioned by the East Factory as a temporary headquarters, originally because it was close to the city gate teahouse and there was no business, the boss was also a cheerful person, good water and good tea were served, not to say, but also to prepare meals, Chang Yu felt that he did not want to give the silver, the boss refused, and said that he would do his part for the country, and only hoped that the little overseer could win the battle.

It was nearly noon, and the soldiers reported that the Tartar soldiers had moved, Chang Yu hummed and continued to eat and drink, while the generals around him couldn't sit still, and they asked for battle, even if they were defeated, they couldn't let the Tartars enter a no-man's land.

Chang Yu was silent, and the generals were helpless.

After a while, Wang Jiayan hurriedly came down from the city: "Lord Overseer, the Tartar soldiers have been divided two miles away, and it seems that they are going to besiege the city......" Chang Yu motioned for him to sit down and eat, and smiled slightly: "Did you divide the troops and go to Nancheng, everything is still empty."

Wang Jiayan was stunned: "It turns out that the overseer already knows" thought that it was Dongchang Fanzi who had reported it, but Li Muxian smiled when he heard this: "The factory superintendent has no last resort, and if he loses, he will punish himself with a cup" Wang Jiayan realized that these two people were all counted by breaking their fingers, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, he was still too young.

"If you want to drink, you have to find an excuse, and it's still a cow drink, no wonder people call you a cow nose" Chang Yu laughed and scolded, Li Muxian raised his glass and drank it all, next to Wu Zhong, Tu Yuan and others kept swallowing saliva, Chang Yu ordered the generals to ban alcohol during the war, and Li Muxian was more like a staff member for his personal servants, not in the ranks of the prohibition of alcohol, seeing that he drank bitterly, the wine can currently spoil these goods.

"At this time, there are no more than 10,000 Tartar soldiers outside the city, and the capital is dozens of miles large, this point of strength is really stretched to besiege the city, not to mention that he has to plunder everywhere, in order to block the southern reinforcements, he will inevitably send troops to besiege the southern city" Chang Yu smiled faintly, looked at Wang Jiayan and continued: "If he wants to surround the capital, he has to wait for the other two Tartar soldiers to converge, but those two will not come back if they go to Changping and Pinggu, and they will not come back if they don't harm for a few days."

"Then these days, let's just hide in the city with big eyes and watch them show off their power outside and ravage the people" Wang Jiayan smiled bitterly, and Chang Yu smiled: "It depends on whether Lord Wang dares to go out of the city to fight."

"Why don't you dare!" Wang Jiayan blurted out, Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, all the generals looked like they were smiling but not smiling, obviously mocking, Wang Jiayan was provoked, and the case was shot: "Although the soldiers of the Beijing camp are not good at fighting, they are also iron-clad, although they are still glorious after killing the enemy and serving the country, the last general will ask for the order to lead the troops and horses out of the city and fight to the death with the Qing army, and I will quietly give you whether the Beijing camp is a soft egg."

It has always been better to be a radical general, and after repeated attempts, Chang Yu got up: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, no one says that Jingying is a soft egg, but we won't send those brothers to death in vain, and wait and see."

"When do you have to wait, will the factory supervisor learn from the shrunken turtle and not fight behind closed doors, this is not the factory supervisor's style of acting." Wang Jiayan was stimulated just now, and his heart was uneasy.

"Fart!" Chang Yushang is okay, the generals couldn't sit still when they saw that he was disrespectful, they got up and shouted angrily, and a few of them lost their temper and even wanted to do it, they didn't care if you were the governor of Jingying or something, and if they provoked Dongchang, they would cut you together!

The dignified governor of Jingying was scolded by several commanders of Dongchang, how could Wang Jiayan have been so humiliated, and he was about to attack in anger, but he heard the little eunuch say lightly: "Before the Tartars attack the city, will the nest begin to be chaotic?" ”

Everyone was silent when they heard this, and Chang Yu swept away everyone under his command: "Lord Wang is the governor of the Beijing camp, and you have the courage to offend who gave you no big or small, it is simply presumptuous!" ”

He shouted angrily, all the generals bowed their heads and were speechless, but Wang Jiayan seemed a little unbearable, and secretly said in his heart that the little eunuch knew the general situation, at least he would not condone his subordinates to be as arrogant as Wei Zhongxian, and hurriedly said: "That's it, what the overseer said is that we can't rebel in the nest, I have made a mistake in my previous words, and I hope the overseer will forgive me."

Chang Yu waved his hand and chuckled, got up to toast tea: "It's all for the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Jiayan smiled and nodded: "For Daming"

"Lord Factory Governor, the palace is rumored that the emperor is going out of the palace to the city" At this time, Chang Yu and Wang Jiayan were shocked, the Tartar is outside the city, the city is extremely dangerous, and Emperor Chongzhen's heart is also big.

The two hurriedly left the restaurant.
