Chapter 1212: What a sin
"What, the reinforcements have arrived, where are they?"
"Is it Jiang Ningjun?"
The officer's words were like a scoop of water sprinkled in a pot of red-hot oil, and it immediately boiled, Pan Ruzhen also stood up from the chair with a bang, but because he didn't sleep all night last night, and he stood too anxiously, his head was a little dizzy for a while, and the whole person began to shake, fortunately, the middle officer next to him helped him, but Pan Ruzhen pushed the middle officer away, grabbed the officer's shirt and said in a trembling voice.
"Say it again, what's coming?"
The Bai Zong, who was caught in his clothes, was also taken aback, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't dare to deceive adults, it is indeed reinforcements coming!" Under the banner of the Jiangning Army, the support army is exchanging fire with the thieves outside the Yongchang Gate, and the thieves outside the Yongchang Gate have been killed and dispersed, and are now knocking on the door outside. ”
"Knock?" Pan Ruzhen became angry when he heard this, and said sharply: "Since it is a friendly army coming to help, why don't you welcome the friendly army in, what does Zuo Dayong want to do?" Could it be that he really thought that the enemy was at present, and Benfu would not dare to take off his head? ”
"My lord, Lord Zuo doesn't dare!" Seeing the governor angry, this Bai general manager was about to cry, "It is precisely because of the current enemy that Zuo Da should be more cautious, if those people are thieves and fakes, let's let them in without authorization, won't Hangzhou Mansion fall into the hands of the enemy?" ”
The officer at the head of the city also nodded secretly when he heard this, that Qian Zong's approach was right, and he had to be cautious in doing anything in the current situation, after all, no one knew if the battle outside the city was directed and staged by the thieves.
"That's it...... Go with the officer! ”
After hearing this, Pan Ruzhen didn't scold again, and without saying a word, he led people towards Yongchang Gate.
Yongchang Gate is not close to Qingbo Gate, and the anxious Pan Ruzhen can't care about anything else, not even a sedan chair, jumps on a war horse, and trots towards Yongchang Gate under the traction of the groom.
A quarter of an hour later, when the panting Pan Ruzhen came to the city wall of Yongchang Gate, he ignored the Qian Zong who came to greet him, but rushed to the battlement in three steps and one step at a time, and immediately saw the support army standing outside the door.
As the governor of Zhejiang, Pan Ruzhen's eyesight is naturally beyond doubt, although he has never seen the Jiangning Army, and has never dealt with the people of the Jiangning Army, but when he first saw the army outside the city gate, he immediately realized that the army below was the rumored Jiangning Army, the first strong army of the Ming Dynasty.
There was no reason, it was purely his intuition.
The army outside the city gate was divided into two parts, inside and outside, and most of the soldiers on the periphery were foot soldiers, these sergeants were dressed in iron armor and steel helmets, and in the middle were large carts, all of which were heavy, and at a glance you could see that these were full of goods, and many of them even pulled artillery.
But what surprised Pan Ruzhen the most was that despite the unusually hot weather, the thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city actually stood quietly outside the city gate in a neat formation, except for the occasional snort and neighing sound of pulling horses, there was no noise, and no one was talking.
This scene not only stunned Pan Ruzhen, but also looked at everyone on the city wall.
"There is such a strong army in the world."
Pan Ruzhen admired in his heart, and at this moment he had no doubts in his heart, this army was the Jiangning Army whose name had only been heard of over the years, except for this army, he really couldn't imagine that there would be such an army in the entire Ming Dynasty.
"Which Jiangning army is this?" Someone was muttering to the side.
Some people also said in an affirmative tone: "It must be them, if it weren't for the Jiangning Army, which army in the Ming Dynasty could have such momentum?" ”
"They are the Jiang Ning Army, there is no doubt that they must be the Jiang Ning Army."
Ignoring the whispering crowd next to him, Pan Ruzhen poked his head out of the battlements and asked loudly: "This official is Pan Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, who is down there?" ”
Pan Ruzhen said three times in a row, and the army under the city reacted, and after a while, an officer wearing ordinary iron armor walked out of the team, arched his hand towards Pan Ruzhen on the city wall, and said loudly: "I am Yang Feng, the Duke of Xinguo, who was ordered to come to the aid of Jiangnan to exterminate the thieves, and now he has killed the thieves here, but he was stopped outside the city, could it be that Lord Pan does not welcome me?" ”
Yang Feng's words caused a commotion in the city, and many people rushed to forget about it.
"This is the Duke of Xinguo?"
"Tsk, I didn't expect Xin Guogong to be so young, he looks less than thirty, right?"
Pan Ruzhen's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Don't blame the Duke of Xinguo, now is an extraordinary period, and the guards are also afraid of being mixed into the city by thieves, so they have to act cautiously." Now I still bother the Duke of Xin Guo to put the seal letter and documents into the hanging basket, and after the official verifies that it is correct, he will immediately welcome the Duke of Xin Guo into the city and make amends to you. ”
"Yes!"
Yang Feng nodded, took out his official seal and paperwork and handed it to the family next to him, and put it into the hanging basket that was lowered from the city wall.
Soon, Pan Ruzhen saw the official seal and documents that Yang Feng put in the hanging basket, and after a strict inspection, he confirmed that they were correct, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened to welcome the Jiangning army into the city.
With the city gate wide open, Jiang Ningjun, who was waiting at the city gate, immediately entered the city in an orderly manner, and at this time, something that surprised Pan Ruzhen and others happened again.
The first group to enter the city was a group of female soldiers wearing green military uniforms, and unlike the sergeants outside, these female soldiers were not wearing armor, but all wearing green military uniforms, with green steel helmets on their heads, and armbands embroidered with white crosses on their arms.
Although these female soldiers are women, they are all heroic, whether they are marching or walking, they are all magnificent, and they are no worse than the male soldiers in terms of momentum, and they strode towards the city gate with neat steps, which looks particularly pleasing to the eye.
"This ...... This...... What are these women doing, there are still women in the Jiangning army. ”
This scene made Pan Ruzhen and the generals who stood at the gate of the city all stunned.
After these female soldiers entered the city, they were followed by heavy soldiers and artillery with cannons, and after these people entered the city, Yang Feng led his family and the sergeant in charge of guarding into the city.
When the last sergeant of the Jiangning Army entered the city, the city gate was slowly closed.
"Pan Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, has seen the Duke of Xinguo, and the official is unreasonable, and he hopes that the Duke of the State will forgive his sins."
When Yang Feng and Pan Ruzhen met, Pan Ruzhen respectfully returned Yang Feng's official seal and documents as soon as possible, and apologized to him.
Yang Feng took the official seal document, waved his hand and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, Master Pan is also a serious move, what a crime." ”
