26 Tongzhou chaos
Almost at the same time, the governor of Baoding returned to the backyard of the Yamen, and when he was about to catch up on sleep and rest, he suddenly heard a panic voice coming from far and near: "Master, it's not good, it's not good......
After hearing the commentary, he was frightened, this time the matter is related to his future, and if he does a good job, he has a great future, and if he doesn't do it well, he is likely to move his head.
He pushed away the concubine who was warming the bed, and while hurriedly dressing, he shouted loudly: "What are you panicking about, what's the matter? ”
"Master, Jianyu...... The army of Jianyu is coming! The family member of the report said in a panic.
"Poof", only to see the scriptures and sit on the ground in fright, and then stand up like crazy, regardless of the official uniform is not properly dressed, he strode out, and shouted at the same time: "Quick, pass quickly, close the city gate, and prepare for battle!" ”
This time, he returned to the city as fast as he could. What he saw in front of him made him breathe a sigh of relief, and the flow of people going to Zhangjiawan was like countless panicked ants, still rushing to transport grain. Most of them are still hugging Zhangjiawan, and only a small number of people have already carried the grain on their shoulders and run back.
In the distance, some cavalry troops were rushing to this side, and at this time they were being affected by a little bit, and even the cavalry from other directions were also running towards the city. As for the shadow of Jianyu, I haven't seen it yet.
Those general soldiers, such as Heiyunlong, Ma Dengyun and others, estimated that they had just received the report, and they were hurrying to the city and gathered around the governor of Baoding.
After looking around, he immediately asked, "Why hasn't the gate been closed yet?" What about the Jianyu, how many Jianyu army are there? ”
No one could answer the "......," and some were just silent in confusion.
After a long while, the general in charge of this section of the city replied: "Back to Zhongcheng, the city is full of people outside the city, and the city gate can't be closed at all!" ”
"What are you still doing in a daze, the gong sounds to warn, burns the grain, and asks the soldiers outside the city to return to the camp as soon as possible, and form a formation in the city!" The exegesis went berserk.
The sound of "bell bell" sounded, so that the flow of people outside the city stopped instantly, and after looking around, suddenly all of them rushed back to Tongzhou City, and at the same time, with a wider range of crying fathers and mothers, more people were trampled, but no one could care about anyone!
After a while, more and more cavalry fled back, but they could not enter the city, so they had to gather close to the city wall.
Although the exegesis on the city was sweating on his forehead in this cold winter day, people asked these cavalry about the situation of the army. However, they found that no one could say the specific situation, either that there were many, or that they saw some of the cavalry running first, so they ran away.
Commentary suddenly had a bad premonition, because he was on the front line, and he knew more or less about the urine nature of these ruffians.
At this moment, a thick smoke rose from the side of Zhangjiawan Caoliang, and it was obvious that he had begun to set fire to the grain.
In the distance, more and more cavalry fled back, and they all ran back as if they were desperate. Behind the last cavalry, the shadow of Jianyu finally appeared, and he was unscrupulously harvesting the last Ming cavalry who had fled.
At this moment, the interpreter was completely panicked, and hurriedly ordered: "Quickly, close the city gate quickly!" ”
"Zhongcheng, now it's all people rushing to the city, and it can't be closed at all!" The general proclaimed with sweat on his head.
Outside the city gate, it was indeed full of people, not only the people, but even according to the plan, the Qinwang army who was originally going to return to the military camp outside the city was also dizzy and rushed to the city. Densely packed with people, if you can close the city gates, it will be strange!
The sweat on the forehead of the commentary is simply dripping, if the Jianyu takes advantage of the situation to attack the city, it will definitely be over!
He panicked, and hurriedly ordered with a loud roar: "Shout, let them not enter the city!" ”
Then, he turned his head again and ordered the commanders, "Quickly, let your family regroup, and be sure to stop the Jianyu from approaching before the city gate is closed!" ”
"Zhongcheng, the cavalry has just withdrawn, the morale has been lost, and they were not under their command before, so they can't fight!" The Black Cloud Dragon immediately cried out.
He was telling the truth, and the other generals also shouted, saying that there was no way to stop the cavalry outside the city from meeting the enemy.
"Did you just watch Jianyu take the opportunity to attack the city? The city of Tongzhou is broken, you and I can't escape death! "Don't forget, the emperor has just issued a holy decree, no matter whether it is true or false, there will be no forgiveness!" ”
All of them felt the emperor's determination from the holy decree, and they knew that they would not be able to talk about it. In a hurry, Ma Dengyun suddenly clenched his fists and said: "Lord Zhongcheng, now the only way to close the city gate is to cut off the flow of people!" ”
When he heard this, he paused slightly, turned his head to look at the crowd swarming outside the city gate, and suddenly understood what his suggestion was.
This kind of thing, if it is usually known by political enemies, it will definitely be attacked, but at this time, there is no way to weigh the lesser of the two sides.
"Good, this matter is up to you, go quickly, and be sure to close the city gate within a quarter of an hour!" The face of the exegetical book was a little hideous, and he ordered loudly.
Ma Dengyun didn't think that this errand fell on his head, and when he was about to excuse himself, he found that the gaze of the interpreter who looked at him seemed to be about to eat people, so he had no choice but to clench his fists and lead the order: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
After a while, at the head of Tongzhou City, above the city gate, the rolling wood and stone used to defend the city suddenly fell, and the unsuspecting flow of people below was suddenly smashed to cry and cry for the mother, and the dead and injured were all killed, and the flow of people was cut off, and the city gate was finally closed.
Soon, the flow of people outside the city came back to their senses, knowing that they could not enter the city, the cry suddenly shook for dozens of miles, and everyone went crazy in despair, either scattering and fleeing, or surrounding the city, trying to get as close to the city as possible. In this panic, I don't know how many people trampled to death.
At the head of the city, the interpreter and others breathed a sigh of relief and finally closed the city gate. Only then did they look up again to observe the Jianyu in the distance.
But at this glance, even the governor of Baoding, who had never fought with Jianyu, also saw something strange. He immediately turned to look at the general soldiers beside him, his face was full of anger, and he roared loudly: "What the hell is going on? ”
Besides, Cao Huachun got the emperor's permission, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, when the slaves and maids came back, they saw that a lot of imperial histories had gathered at the noon gate, and there were some officials from the six departments, and they seemed to be saying that if the emperor stayed in the middle school, they would admonish again, which was very noisy......
Hearing this, Hu Guang already understood. I'm afraid that these imperial historians can guess that their way of dealing with it is to stay in the middle, so they want to follow the example of the great etiquette dispute in the Jiajing period outside the noon gate, and prepare to kneel down collectively. These civil officials, at that time, were proud to receive the court staff, and they all seemed to regard death as if they were home, and the powerful Emperor Jiajing was all given a headache by them!
"You don't need to say it, I know what's going on!" Hu Guang's face suddenly became a little hideous, "Dare to follow me, hehe!" ”
