Hangzhou City is in full swing to prepare for the war, everyone is highly nervous, and they are also affected by the atmosphere of this preparation, so naturally there is no other idea, but as time goes by, everything is ready, but it is found that the so-called Japanese Kou has not moved, and strange words have come out. The people began to complain that it was the government's random news that plagued the people and disrupted everyone's normal life.

It's no wonder that everyone, in this era, there are many people who have never been out of the village in their lives, and in their inherent thinking, seeing is believing and hearing is false, and they will not believe anyone if they don't see it with their own eyes.

The merchants who came and went inside and outside the city brought the news of the Japanese outside the city, but one person said one thing, and all kinds of news contradicted and contradicted each other, especially by word of mouth, which was even more exaggerated, which caused waves of panic, and for a time rumors flew all over the city, and all kinds of contradictory news aggravated this confusion.

However, the officials of the government took advantage of the order to suppress rumors, but the result was counterproductive, and those officials and helpers just took advantage of this opportunity to extort, which further aroused the people's resentment, and for a time the people in the city were angry. In addition, in case of a sudden attack by the Japanese invaders, the gates of the inner and outer cities of Hangzhou were closed, which seriously affected the daily life of the people, for example, the firewood, grass and materials outside the city could not be transported, and the price of rice rose wildly, making the people miserable. But those gentry, officials, and rich people could not bear it anymore, and they wanted to drink the sweet water of the South Mountain, the new tea of the North Mountain, the new rice of the West Mountain, and the good fish of the East Mountain, but now they could not bring it in, which seriously affected their enjoyment.

The people can suppress it, and they can only endure it, but these rich and noble families are uncles here, and even the county magistrate has to bow down when they see them, and they have to greet the elders of the outer cabinet of the people's homes from afar, which is really a headache for the officials up and down.

Mao Yulong also has a headache now, because since he was caught by Father Zhao as a helper, he has pushed all the trivial things to him, so he has led the troops wholeheartedly, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese have not been killed in the past two days, and has been training those recruits day and night, striving to fight this victorious defense battle.

A gang ran over and asked anxiously: "Little Xianggong, Nancheng needs firewood and grass for cooking, let me come over and urge." ”

Mao Yulong immediately wrote a note, stamped it with Zhao's father's official seal, and handed it to this helper: "You take this note, go to the firewood and grass field to get it quickly, don't get too much, it's a waste, I don't know how long this war will last, and when it's gone, everyone can only eat raw rice." ”

The helper nodded his head again and again, and went with the note.

As soon as this one was sent away, the other one came running over: "I need 10 bags of grain and 20 bags of noodles today." ”

Mao Yulong asked suspiciously: "No, yesterday it was 10 bags of grain, and ten bags of noodles were enough, why did there be so much more today, is there anyone greedy for ink?" ”

This helper jumped to his feet with a bitter face: "Little Xianggong, you have wronged me, this is all blame for Daddy Zhao, training those newcomers day and night, as a result, a bowl of rice and a steamed bun were enough yesterday, but now it is good, a bowl of rice, two steamed buns are half full, if you follow this consumption rate, you will double it for me tomorrow." ”

Daddy Zhao worked hard to train these recruits, of course, there was a serious consumption of physical strength, and everyone's food naturally increased, which is also human nature. Mao Yulong wrote a note on the understanding side, so as not to sternly warn this helper, "Increase the supply of food, so that those newcomers can eat well, of course this is no problem, but you can be careful for me, the eyes of General Feng Ru of Jinyi Wei are bright, and he is staring at you deadly." These are extraordinary times, and once you are found to be greedy, you don't have to go through any formalities at all, and they will directly use a knife to cut you. Those who are greedy for the three melons and two dates, it is not worth losing their lives, everyone must know that when this defense battle is won, the reward stipulated by the official name is enough for you to use for a period of time, but don't pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon. ”

The helper held the strip in his arms, and while running out, he replied with a smile: "Thank you for the advice of the little minister, I am also from a bitter background, I don't understand this big truth, but how much and which is less, I still understand, I promise to transport all the grain over without a bad grain, but I quietly bring back two for my children and wives." ”

Mao Yulong smiled: "If this is really the case, even if Jinyiwei finds out, you will say that I agree." ”

"Then thank you Xiaoxianggong, when this battle is over, I will invite you to drink a glass of old wine."

"Daddy Zhao said to strengthen armaments at Xishuimen, let me go to you to get some fire oil bombs, and mines (there were mines in the Ming Dynasty, and there were many varieties, and there were many types of mines, and there was a war example of using mines to blow up the world's first ship.) Mao Yulong took his father's warrant, checked the number, and immediately asked him to follow a soldier in charge of the warehouse and take someone to collect it.

As a result, another man came running: "Those brothers in the city gate building may have eaten something bad and need to receive a batch of herbs, and Lang Zhong is waiting to use them in a hurry." ”

In this way, you come and go, the flow of people in this dispatched small courtyard is endless, more lively than the market, and the busy Mao Yulong simply does not touch the ground.

As a result, at this time, there was another order from Father Zhao: "The town guard yamen has notified the meeting, General Zhao really has no time to rush over, so I invite you to go, you can directly decide anything." ”

Mao Yulong is now not only in charge of the logistics transfer, but also in charge of the meetings held in various yamen. The first is that Father Zhao doesn't want to see the faces of those officials who pass the buck to each other, besides, the meeting is simply torture for this general, so Mao Yulong will do it for him.

Mao Yulong picked up a piece of things that were ready to be reported, and while walking out, he instructed these masters who were arranged under his hands: "I will come when I go, you must be careful to keep an eye on it, this is the hard-earned money of the people and patriotic businessmen, we can't waste it." ”

A few people nodded yes and said yes, but they didn't send it, and everyone continued to be dizzy.

Riding a short Dian horse, Mao Yulong hurried towards this yamen.

This little Dian horse was specially prepared by Father Zhao for Mao Yulong, but he is not very old and not tall, so it is just right to ride this pony.

The eunuch yamen is also full of people, constantly reporting in, and there are also instructions like flowing water, and it is also a mess.

They were all familiar with the road, so Mao Yulong tied the pony outside, and then went directly into the gate and came to the lobby.

Standing quietly at the end, he took a breath and listened to what was going on today, but the eunuch who had always been calm was furious.

"The war is about to begin, and the people's hearts are so impetuous, even those bullshit gentry are making waves, is this worth it? Kill, kill, according to wartime decrees, there is no forgiveness for killing. ”

The political envoy cautiously faced the eunuch guarding the town: "Father-in-law, this is not allowed, no matter what, the small people can be killed, but the gentry can't, they all have a background behind them, if they are moved, then our entire Zhejiang officialdom will not be able to eat and have to go around, and please spare the father-in-law of the town guard." ”

"Shut up for me." At this time, the father-in-law of the town guard knocked on the table fiercely: "I have been patient with them for a long time, those gentry are simply the moths of this Ming court, and they are usually taken care of by the state, but at this critical time, they just made a little donation, and they have already begun to blackmail the yamen, you go and ask him, for the little money they donated, buy their lives?" However, the people everywhere did take their lives to protect them, and at this time, they were the ones who were the most demons. Then the father-in-law of the town guard gritted his teeth and said: "You bastards, the only way to suppress the rumors outside is to kill, but what is the result?" It's all ordinary people, those real rumor-mongers, but you tolerate and nurture traitors, is there any reason for this? ”

Du Yushi really stood up arrogantly at this time: "You, a eunuch, only shout and kill loyal ministers, do you really not take the laws of the Ming Dynasty in your eyes?" I will impeach you, impeach you unto death. ”

The angry and smiling eunuch smiled coldly: "Then aren't the people you use as scapegoats not taken seriously?" ”

"The grass people are just a group of pigs and dogs, and it is the gentry and scribes who support the survival of our entire Ming Dynasty, don't you understand this?" Du Yushi retorted with awe-inspiring justice.

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, is this what your saint said?"

This imperial history is full of words: "Sticking to the righteousness is also the backbone of us literati." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you." If it is lip service, the eunuchs can't talk about Donglin anyway, and at this time, they also issued a very loud order to a few brocade guards. "Since this great lord has the heart to serve the country, you will put him on the city now, let him educate those widows, and if you can't withdraw the widows with your mouth, you will cut him directly."

As soon as such a decision came out, this Du Yushi's face was pale at that time, and under the sandwich of two strong men, he struggled hard while begging for mercy loudly: "The town guards the father-in-law's life, I'm just talking." ”

I didn't have the slightest sympathy for this bad guy, for this self-righteous thing, and waved my hand in disgust: "When the enemy comes to attack, if he dares to take a step back, throw it directly into the city." ”

The current eunuch is so arrogant, and of course he also has his arrogant capital.

Yushi's wailing kept going away, and the originally noisy lobby immediately became silent.
