taught the insatiable clansmen, solved the hemp rice of the eunuch Donglin, and could get a land rent of 200 stone a year, as well as a newspaper's income, things were too smooth, which made Mao Yulong sleep comfortably.

When the good dream was woken up again by the sound of a hurried gong, Mao Yulong got up, put on his shoes and ran out of the house. Xiao Huang was barking uneasily in front of the door, and the mother and the little girl ran to the courtyard gate in a panic and looked out. At this time, outside the door in a panic ran over a few familiar neighbors, carrying large bags and small bags on their backs, a young, carrying the old lady's descendants unintentionally glanced at Mao Yulong's yard, saw the overwhelmed lady, saw Mao Yulong who had just woken up standing on the steps in a daze, couldn't help but be anxious, stomped his feet and roared at him: "Auntie, Xiucaigong, Xiucaigong is still stunned for what, the widows are three miles outside the city, hurry up and run, if you don't run, you will become a widow's livestock." Before he could finish speaking, the man disappeared without a trace.

"Wako?" Mao Yulong is a little blindsided, hasn't the widow been defeated by Qi Jiguang and Lord Song Yingchang? Why are there still Japanese pirates at this time? And the Japanese have already hit three miles outside the county, what is the situation?

But I suddenly remembered that there were two military disasters in Hangzhou this year, and the mutiny of the nine battalions had passed, and the other emotion was this. However, in a trance, I remember that it seems that this time it is not a wolf.

When the Japanese invaded the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, they eroded the entire coastal area, and when they were most rampant, they all hit the city wall of Nanjing, causing great damage to the entire Ming Empire.

In the end, the Ming Dynasty exerted its strength and sent Qi Jiguang and Song Yingchang to begin to encircle and suppress the Japanese invaders. The two of them were like warriors of the gods, invincible, and they fought those Japanese warriors composed of ronin samurai and scurried with their heads and suffered heavy losses. At the same time, the Ming court also issued an edict to Japan, reprimanding Japan for conniving at the invasion of the Ming Dynasty, and sternly warned him that if he was not restrained, the Ming Dynasty was ready to send troops to Japan, and asked him what the reason was?

During this period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi invaded Korea, and under the struggle of the Sino-Korean coalition forces for many years, Toyotomi Hideyoshi returned to Japan with only more than 3,000 people. The Tokugawa shogunate took the opportunity to seize the power of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, during this period, Japan's Warring States period had just ended, and more than 200,000 soldiers were lost in Korea. As a result, under the influence of both sides, the Japanese have disappeared in the South China Sea. Even if there were, it was only a group of three or five, and it couldn't make any big waves.

As a result, why did the soldiers suddenly come to the city today, where did so many Japanese robbers come from? There's something strange about this.

However, now is not the time to explore the strange, listening to the rapid sound of the alarm gong on the street, and looking at the crowd running away from the door, Mao Yulong still decided to believe that the Japanese are really coming, and the situation is really urgent to the extent of no return.

"Run, you can't fight against a large number of widows alone, although you are a traverser, but after all, you are not an immortal, and the spirit of Wang Ba is not revealed in this small body." So he immediately called his mother and Xiaoya, and faced the panicked uncles, aunts, and grandmothers, with a big luggage, buried the silver, and prepared to run away.

But looking at this big family, the old and the young, where are they going? Running out of town? The Japanese are just outside the city, and it's even more unsafe, so it's better to be in the city, but is it still necessary to run around in the city? It's better to have a cat at home.

The reason why the neighbors are running around on the street is only due to panic, but in fact, they have no purpose at all.

After thinking about this, he shouted to his mother and grandmother: "Let's not panic, let's not go anywhere, just stay at home." Uncle, you take a wooden stick, guard the house, and mainly guard against robbery while the fire is burning. ”

At this time, Li was dragging a gong and ran over in a hurry: "Xiucai's eldest nephew, hurry up and help, the Japanese are about to enter the city, hurry up and think of a way." ”

Mao Yulong hurriedly asked: "How do you know that the Japanese are about to enter the city?" Where did they go? ”

was asked like this, Li Zheng was stunned, and it took a long time before he replied ignorantly: "I also heard about it, and I don't know where the Japanese have gone." ”

Aren't you screaming blindly, there is no shadow of the widows, what are you shouting, and the living are also scared to death by you.

So Mao Yulong took Li Zheng's hand: "The Japanese are not a terrible Hades, they are far from here, we still have a chance to arrange, and if we run blindly, we are also a headless fly." If Hangzhou is really broken, it will be useless for us to run anywhere, and it will not be safe anywhere. ”

Li Zheng stabilized his mind and thought about it, so he yelled at the neighbors who were running around like headless flies: "Don't run, there is no shadow of the wolf, what are you running, where can you run?" Then he turned his head and asked Mao Yulong: "Then what do you say to do?" ”

Mao Yulong actually couldn't help it, "Things have come to this point, and there is nowhere to escape, so we won't escape, so we will rely on the continuous houses here to resist." The last time we were in turmoil, we all even went to protect ourselves, didn't we survive that disaster? Based on the lessons learned from last time, we continue to do so this time. Daddy can gather all the men in our area, arm them, and we will continue to form a volunteer to defend our family and country. ”

Hearing such a suggestion, Li Zheng's eyes lit up: "This thing is done like this, and you can't run anywhere, it's better for everyone to hold up and continue to resist, maybe you can keep this piece of home." Then he took the gong and ran out.

With the experience of the last time, everyone has seen blood, and they are brave and experienced. The most important thing is that the last time everyone worked together, not only blocked the intrusion and burning of the rebels, but also received praise from the government afterwards, and the benefit of ten taels of silver per person, they did not resist being reorganized and recruited again, so the men in the panicked neighbors responded one after another. The Mao family also ran over to get in touch with the people on this side at this time, and the two sides hit it off, and in a blink of an eye, hundreds of men gathered in a chaotic manner, all holding sticks and kitchen knives, ready to save their homes to the death.

Mao Yulong felt very satisfied with this result, so he was ready to stand up and continue to lead these volunteers to defend the country.

He began to rectify this group of chaotic neighbors here step by step, and at this time, he saw a thin man in a soap official uniform running from afar, looked up and saw himself, raised his hand and shouted to himself: "Mao Xiucai, just looking for you, hurry, the county is invited, come with me quickly." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Mao Yulong to speak, ran forward, grabbed his arm and turned around and ran, which immediately made Mao Yulong almost lose his breath. 22 Baidu take a look at the latest chapter of "Lonely Ministers and Jiezhong Literature in the Late Ming Dynasty" to read for free for the first time.
