Chongwen Gate.

"Quick, there is an order for nine thousand years old, close the city gate!"

On the back of the galloping horse, Shi Yuanya looked at the busy city gate and shouted.

The soldiers guarding the gate looked at him in amazement, and the same bustling pedestrians also raised their heads and looked at him in amazement, and then a eunuch walked out, and when he saw Shi Yuanya, he was immediately stunned, and subconsciously put on a smiling face to salute him.

"Quick, there is an order for nine thousand years old, close the city gate and arrest the rebels!"

Shi Yuanya shouted.

"Quick, close the door!"

The eunuch immediately straightened up and shouted.

He is the head of the Chongwen Gate, and there is a eunuch in charge of each of the nine gates in the capital, and the head of the Chongwen Gate is also in charge of the three gates of Zuo'an, Guangqu, and Dongben in the outer city, and directly belongs to the Zhengyang and other gates under the Si Li Supervisor, and the commander at this time is Jin Liangfu, but his status under the nine thousand years old is not as good as Shi Yuanya.

Shi Yuanya is actually one of the eunuchs who are the celebrant and the eunuch.

The little eunuchs and the pro-army guards immediately began to drive away the pedestrians.

But this is Chongwen Gate, the most important commercial passage in the capital, even if it is winter now, there is a large influx of materials here every day, especially here is a special channel for wine, it is not easy for this city gate to close all at once, and four donkey carts transporting wine just block the city gate hole. The vendors who didn't hear it outside were still pouring in, and the soldiers had to take off their scabbards and smash them, and the dissatisfied vendors took refuge, and the whole city gate could be said to be in chaos, and some people who were about to leave the city were also very dissatisfied with the sudden closure of the city gate......

"Father-in-law Shi, there is still an urgent matter to go to Baoding!"

A person who obviously knew Shi Yuanya said dissatisfiedly while clasping his fists and saluting.

"Bastard, there are people in the city digging tunnels to stab the river, what urgent matter can you compare to this!"

Shi Yuanya scolded angrily.

He didn't dare to say that it was actually an assassination of the emperor.

That would definitely cause a larger panic, and everyone understood the nature of the assassination of the emperor, but just assassinating Yang Xin was nothing.

Yang Dudu must not be assassinated several times in that year.

The man was so frightened that he quickly shut up.

The complaining vendors were also frightened and hurried out of the doorway.

But at the same time, the three strong men who were about to leave the city but had stopped looked at each other, and one of them immediately roared, and the soldier who was driving in front of him was stunned, and the next moment the knife in the soldier's hand reached his hand, and then the knife was sheathed on the soldier's head. Before the other soldiers could react, he unsheathed his knife and slashed at the shoulder of another soldier, and in the midst of the soldier's screams, one of his companions snatched the spear from his hand and stabbed it into the chest of one of the eunuchs......

"Kill, kill the eunuchs, hoe the traitor for the country!"

Another shouted.

Then he snatched the shoulder of the vendor next to him and smashed one of the soldiers in one fell swoop.

There was chaos in front of Chongwen Gate, but no one would definitely respond to them, in the crying and screaming, the three of them rushed straight to the city gate, and those soldiers stepped forward in confusion, but these were pro-military guards, to put it bluntly, it was difficult to maintain law and order, and in a blink of an eye, two were cut down by the leader, and the rest turned around and ran away when they saw him so brave.

"It's rubbish!"

Shi Yuanya on horseback scolded.

Then he dismounted and met the two fleeing soldiers, snatched the spears from their hands at the same time, and the next moment the spear in his right hand flew out and went straight to the strong man who was at the head.

The latter had just entered the doorway and didn't notice it at all, but the companion who made the flat tan immediately rushed over, and the flat tan knocked the spear away, but almost at the same time, Shi Yuanya's second spear arrived, and he didn't have time to retract the flat arm, and he raised his hand to protect the companion behind him and tried to catch it, but the spear slid through his palm in an instant, and suddenly pierced his abdomen.

"Third brother!"

The leader of the strong man screamed sadly.

"Let's go!"

The man with his spear smashed over the rushing soldiers.

And another strong man suddenly threw his spear at Shi Yuanya, the latter immediately dodged, Shi Yuanya is not an ordinary eunuch, known as proficient in riding and archery, and the force value is also quite high, at the same time a soldier next to him finally lit the fire rope, and then raised his gun at the strong man to pull the trigger, this person fell down in response, and the crazy swing of the flat shoulder, bravely blocked the city gate, and the strong man picked up a jar of wine and threw it back.

"Big brother, let's go!"

The one who made the flat man roar.

I have to say that he is still very tenacious.

The big brother took one last look at him, and finally turned around and rushed outside.

At this time, there was also chaos outside, the traders who were so frightened that they fled mixed with the soldiers in the urn city, he rushed out and immediately cut down the nearest soldier with a knife, and the merchants in front of him screamed and ran wildly, and the gate of the urn city was also blocked by vehicles and could not be closed for a while. This person was like a crazy bull, waving the knife in his hand and breaking in, most of the soldiers were running away, only a few tried to block, but this person's martial arts were very high, and three or five soldiers couldn't stop him at all.

Several musketeers who lit the arquebuses fired in confusion.

The bullet didn't hit him, but instead accidentally injured a green worm who was about to enter the city.

Shi Yuanya took the bow and arrow handed by the soldier from behind, aimed at the man's back and shot an arrow, although the arrow almost hit the target, but in the end it was still a millimeter, and several soldiers on the city wall were also hurriedly shooting arrows downward, but they also missed.

In the blink of an eye, the man rushed into the doorway of the urn city, squeezed through the vehicles and quickly exited the city.

"A bunch of rubbish!"

Shi Yuanya said angrily.

After saying that, he looked at the one who made the flat burden.

This one is dead, but his eyes are still wide-eyed, as if he is accusing the eunuch traitor.

"I'm quite capable."

He kicked the dead man and said.

"But it's a pity that there is courage and no strategy, everything is in the hands of my father-in-law."

An officer said with a smile on his face.

As he spoke, he pointed to the towering tower above his head, where several soldiers had already rushed up.

"Then don't chase it quickly!"

Shi Yuanya shouted.

The officer hurriedly beckoned his men to chase him out.

Of course, this result is actually very normal, what can the pro-military guard do at this time? How can they have any combat effectiveness at all, if the pro-army guards can fight, then Li Zicheng can still enter Beijing? To put it bluntly, it is a group of people who are worried about maintaining law and order, and they are stronger than our Eight Banners in the late Qing Dynasty, that is, they did not carry smoking guns, and those who can really fight have been recruited into the new army. In fact, the security of the capital does not count on them, the security of the capital during the day is the responsibility of the archers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, to be precise, it is equivalent to the recruited police, and at night it is the patrol camp, the latter is the guard soldiers around the capital.

And the eldest brother who fled at this time......

Of course, it's Jiangning hero Zhang Mingzhen.

He has not been able to contribute to the hoe and rape these days, and those who are strategizing do not support his plan to load a carriage of gunpowder, that is, he takes his brothers around every day, and many of his subordinates are actually righteous men hired by the Fushe in the mountainous areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, of course, they may also be fugitives or something, a total of forty or fifty people, he is responsible for leading this team, but it has not been able to come in handy so far.

Fortunately, there is enough silver.

The literati needed their thugs, so they were generous with money.

"Ma's, I have to plan and plan, and I have lost all the plans so far, it was originally a matter of a carriage of gunpowder, and I had to dig some tunnels, digging and digging and digging and finally digging was all over!"

Zhang Mingzhen scolded while running.

Chongwen Gate is crowded waiting to pay taxes, the largest tax office in the Ming Dynasty is here, the next branch can collect nearly 100,000 taels a year, every day here is like a bazaar, although he is full of bloodstains, it is difficult to attract too much attention in such an environment. Especially here, because of the gunfire in the chaos, the soldiers of those branches patronized to maintain order, and they couldn't squeeze around him at all, and the knife in his hand was still waving, and the vast majority of people here were out-of-town traders, so naturally there would be no righteous and brave acts.

Soon he slipped into a westward alley in the confusion.

Here he took off his coat full of blood as quickly as possible, just as an unlucky passer-by passed by, he directly knocked down and stripped his clothes and changed them, and left in the latter's resentful gaze, but he didn't know that at this time, on the tower of Chongwenmen City, less than a hundred meters away, a soldier was waving a flag to show the direction to the pursuing officer, and there was also a figure who was searching for him with a telescope.

Shortly after he left, the officer arrived with men.

After asking the men on the ground about the direction of his escape, the officer continued to chase after him with hundreds of soldiers.

And after turning to a street facing south, because he still kept running wildly, Zhang Mingzhen's figure was quickly locked by the soldiers on the city tower.

Of course, he wasn't interested in caring about that.

Running wildly, he ran for nearly two miles and finally stopped outside the gate of a temple.

And at the same time, Xu Du came out of it.

"Brother Hou Fu, who are you?"

Xu Du said in amazement.

Zhang Mingzhen stepped forward and grabbed him......

"Hurry up, it's happened!"

He shouted anxiously.

"There, the thieves have allies!"

Shouts rang out from behind.

Zhang Mingzhen hurriedly turned around, and then saw the officer swarming with the soldiers.

Zhang Mingzhen didn't care about anything, he dragged Xu Du and ran, the latter was not a weak scholar after all, in fact, he was also at the heroic level, just when the servant behind him led the horse out, Xu Du stretched out his hand and dragged the horse, and after getting on the horse, he pulled Zhang Mingzhen upward, and Zhang Mingzhen also got on the horse. The two didn't care about informing Wu Chang that it was time, and directly urged the horse forward, and the soldiers behind blew the fire rope that was about to be extinguished, but when they blew the fire rope, the two people had already run away, and their guns were all seen off.

"Take down this rebel!"

The officer shouted angrily, pointing at the stupid servants.

At this moment, a scholar walked out of the temple and looked at the scene in front of him in amazement.

"Wu Gongzi save me!"

The servant screamed.

The officer's eyes lit up at once.

"You know his son-in-law?"

The officer said with a smile.

"No, the student has never met him."

Wu Changshi said righteously.

"If you haven't seen it, let's talk about it, take it, send it to the North Ya, confiscate the Tianlong Temple, and everyone will be sent to the North Ya for screening!"

The officer shouted.
