Chapter 852: Knocking on the door in the middle of the night
Xingguang didn't ask passers-by, but said that Chang Yu and his party crossed the Beiyang River and hurried after repelling the horse thieves, and at this time they were far away from the Qing army, so they didn't need to grope next to the mountainside, and galloped away on the official road.
There was nothing to say all the way, and after less than an hour, it resisted the outside of Linzi City, which is a very small county town without a moat and no guards, and it patrols the city by the city on weekdays.
Chang Yu had no time to go around the city to see the scenery, so he asked Li Shiyuan to call the door, but it was not as easy as he imagined, there were no guards in Linzi City, only the husband guarded the door, and in the afternoon, there were officers and soldiers who came to report that the Tartars were about to enter the country, and people were panicked where they dared to open the door, even if Li Shiyuan reported his name, it was not good, what if it was the Tartars pretending to deceive the door.
Li Shiyuan scolded him angrily and asked him to go to the county government to report, the county lords knew him, and the husband responded, and everyone had to wait outside the city for a while, but Chang Yu felt that the husband was conscientious.
Chang Yu asked Li Shiyuan, the name of Linzi Zhi County is Zou Fengji, the name is very auspicious, and he is also a practical person, last year (the fifteenth year of Chongzhen), he built six forts in the city......
This made Chang Yu a little surprised, looked up at the city wall that was only five or six meters at most, there were six forts on it that were not inferior to Qingzhou City, since there were forts and artillery, there must also be gunpowder shells, Chang Yu suddenly regretted, if he could get to Linzi one day earlier, he could dismantle the artillery ammunition from Linzi to Qingzhou, but the Qing army came too quickly.
Anyway, there are six artillery pieces that have the capital, even if the Qing army divides their troops to come here, they can let them return with their feathers, Chang Yu believes that Dolgon will not attack a small broken city with little oil and water in time.
Zou Fengji did not let Chang Yu and his entourage wait for a long time, in fact, he had not slept at this time, just because there was a warning signal from Qingzhou today that the Tatars were coming, and he discussed the matter of Anmin and the enemy with the county Cheng, the master book, the classic history and others, and suddenly heard that someone outside the city reported that there were more than 100 people outside the city, and the first one said that it was Li Shiyuan, the garrison of Qingzhou.
The Tartars are coming, Li Shiyuan didn't stay in Qingzhou City and ran here late at night, didn't something happen, or said that Qingzhou City had been broken, Zou Fengji and others were shocked, and hurriedly went out of the yamen and went straight to Beicheng, and on the way, I thought that it wouldn't be the Tartars who deceived the door.
So he didn't open the door immediately, but led a group of yamen officials and more than ten townships to go to the city, holding a torch high to observe, Li Shiyuan calmly raised the torch to prove himself: "Zou Zhixian is not an ignorant general."
"It turned out to be really Li Shoubei, when it was very time, Li Shoubei was not strange, not strange" I have to say that Li Shiyuan became famous in World War I two years ago, and all the states and counties under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Mansion worshiped him as a god, as soon as he saw him appear, he did not suspect that he hurriedly opened the city gate and let them in, but the little eunuch frowned slightly, if he was to change to himself, he would have to check his entourage, it was too hasty to take one person as evidence, and he was not afraid that Li Shiyuan surrendered to the Tartars to deceive the door, and there are countless people who have been deceived into opening the door in history.
Zou Fengji had thought so before, but when he saw Li Shiyuan, he was a little excited and forgot about this stubble, and when he opened the city gate and saw that they were wet and very embarrassed, he realized that he would not have escaped from Qingzhou City, and saw that Chang Yu's personal guards were fierce and vicious, and the image of ordinary officers and soldiers was too far away, and his heart suddenly felt cold: Not good, Tartar, Li Shiyuan surrendered! In a panic, he also forgot that the hairstyles of the Qing army and the Ming army were not different at all, and even if they found the difference, they would think that the Qing army was just pretending.
When he was about to shout, Li Shiyuan had already introduced the little eunuch beside him to him: "Zou Zhixian, this is the Admiral of the Dongchang Yamen, and the Father-in-law of Chang Gonggong came to Zigong Office"
What? The big eunuch of the East Factory is here! If he hadn't trusted Li Shiyuan's signboard, he would have thought he was a liar if everyone else had said otherwise, how could the great god of Dongchang come to this small temple in Linzi.
Hey, isn't the big eunuch of Dongchang the one who is rumored to be very good at fighting, could it be that he came to be related to the Tartars this time, Zou Fengji didn't know that Chang Yu arrived in Qingzhou City early in the morning to warn, at this time anyway, he was physically and mentally shocked and his face was confused, you must know that the dignified eunuch of Dongchang was not in the eyes of the princes, he was a little county magistrate, how could he not panic.
"The incident happened suddenly, the situation was urgent, and I came to disturb me late at night, please don't blame Lord Zou" Chang Yu hugged his fists and smiled slightly, Zou Fengji saw that it was a teenager, Li Shiyuan would not lie to himself, although he was puzzled, he also hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare, the next official Zou Fengji greets the factory superintendent."
At this time, there is no doubt that Li Shiyuan has deceived the city, if he really surrenders to the Tartars, he will do it when he opens the city gate, and he will not talk to him calmly.
Hey, Zou Fengji caught a glimpse of a young man beside the little eunuch at this time, and he looked at it carefully, I wiped it, isn't this the prince of King Heng.
Zhu Ci'an is a wealthy family, loves to fight and kill, and leads a group of families to spread wild in his own territory every day, and he has wandered around the county towns to scourge, and the local yamen bigwigs have received him, and Linzi is next to Qingzhou Zhu Ci'an has come many times, and Zou Fengji recognized him at a glance It is not strange at all.
"Xiaguan has seen His Royal Highness the Prince" Zou Fengji hurriedly saluted and blurted out: "Why is His Royal Highness the Prince here too?" ”。
"It's hot and sleepless at night, and the factory supervisor comes out to blow the wind to cool off" Zhu Ci'an smiled slightly, which was very inconsistent with his usual style. After all, as the prince of King Heng, he is the biggest gentleman in Qingzhou Mansion, and he is not arrogant and arrogant, and he is polite at this time.
Zou Fengji naturally didn't believe Zhu Ci'an's statement, and when he saw him soaking wet with an embarrassed face, he said: It's miserable, it's miserable, this Li Shiyuan and the great eunuch of Dongchang plus the appearance of this Hengwang Shizi came in the middle of the night, it must be that Qingzhou Mansion has fallen.
"King Heng he ......" Zhu Youdi is known as a good name in Qingzhou, and the officials under his rule have praised him, and Zou Fengji is a neighbor of Qingzhou who has a lot of friends on weekdays, and he can't help but be sad at this time.
"Father is fine, I will invite Zou Zhixian to go to the palace to drink tea another day" Zhu Ci'an smiled slightly, Zou Fengji was stunned, and then realized that he was not thinking too much, if Qingzhou City fell into the situation of King Heng, the prince would not be so relaxed.
Linzi City is small, speaking to the county Ya in front of the county, said that Linzi County Ya is very famous, is the first county Ya and then there is Linzi City, the earliest built in the Yuan Dynasty and fifteen years (1278) is located in the northwest corner of the county seat, Hongwu four years of the county Ouyang Ming moved it to the center of the county, Zhengde fifteen years destroyed in Liukou, Linzi Zhi County Ma Xian carried out repair.

After Chen Suole sent the little lady's guardianship to the county ya, he was ordered to lead his personal guards to the city to take over the city defense, and by the way, he dried his clothes, leaving Qiao Sanxiu to be tenacious, and several people personally escorted Chang Yu into the yamen.
Zou Fengji's maidservant took a few sets of clean clothes for Chang Yu, Zhu Ci'an and Li Shiyuan changed them on, and then served the tea hall, everyone sat around and whispered together, Qiao Sanxiu and Guo Ren and other guards in the courtyard took off their clothes and hung on the branches, bare-chested and whispered in the night breeze chatting about the sky is also comfortable, looking at the hall from time to time, muttering that this county government is broken enough, and pouting: "It's all image projects, the Ming Dynasty has been building this set since Taizu, and some even deliberately repaired the old and flaunted the Qingshui Yamen"
