Chapter 406: A Strange Scene

Several thousands of households gathered together and studied each other, thinking that the minister would not have deliberately tried to wipe them out, otherwise he would not have let them go just now, they had been surrounded outside the post house, and that was the best time to annihilate them all, and now that the people had dispersed, it was not so easy to destroy them all.

"Don't think about it, the minister is an angel, it is impossible to deal with us, we are also soldiers of the imperial court." A thousand households reluctantly smiled.

"But why are the city gates closed and the whole city under martial law?"

"The city gates are closed not for fear of us going out, but for fear of people from outside coming in." A thousand households realized the essence.

"Oh, yes, maybe I'm afraid that the brothers in the barracks will flock in and make trouble."

"Did you think we did something wrong this time?" A thousand households reflected.

Thousands of households and hundreds of households are also self-reflecting, they have always done this, as long as there is any policy that is not arbitrary, or dissatisfied with the treatment and salary, they will make noise, this is the only way for them to express their reasonable demands, other ways those officials and lords can't hear at all, and they won't care if they hear it.

"Let's all be honest lately, although this minister is young, he is not easy to mess with. Ruthless, and doesn't scruple about anything at all. "A thousand households.

"yes, he really dares to kill." A hundred households have palpitations.

In just a few moments, more than 400 people and nearly 500 people died, which is rare in their many years of battlefield experience, because the border army was the first to flee, and before the enemy could get close, they had already run away like rabbits, and they could not catch up.

Of course, they don't run when they see the enemy, as long as the border pass is not breached, they will still do their best to defend the Great Wall fortress, but once the border pass is breached, their psychological defense line will collapse.

This is actually very common, and it is also very common in later wars.

It is said that the men who defend the trenches or forts will fight very valiantly in the trenches and forts, but once the trenches and forts are breached, they will scatter or surrender outright.

The same is true of the border army, when they defend the Great Wall, they are also extremely tenacious and brave, but as soon as the Great Wall is breached and the Tatars rush in, they will scatter and flee, unable to stop the Tatar cavalry rushing in, let alone find a way to block the opening.

With the help of Zhao Quan, the Tatars also realized this, and when attacking the Great Wall, they were focusing on one place and attacking with all their might, and as long as they broke through a little, they could break through the entire border pass, instead of launching an overall attack as before.

Therefore, it is wrong to say that the border army is cowardly and flees first, but it is indeed true that they disturb the people first.

At the border passes, there were governors and governors who suppressed them, and they could be honest, but once they were outside, they were similar to the Tatar cavalry, robbing and committing adultery, and they didn't dare to kill people casually.

Killing good people and taking risks, looting women and children, and then selling them in other places is also what they often do, and it can be described as a bad record.

Moreover, when he was in Jinyiwei, he had a lot of information about the border army in his hands, and he knew enough. During the training of the troops, he often came into contact with the leaders and generals of the Beijing army, and he knew more about the situation of the border army from them, and he knew more and more about the situation of the border army than the governor Wang Chonggu, and this was the power of the intelligence network.

It is not only the border army of Xuanfu Datong that is like this, but the border army of the nine border passes is almost all a virtue, that is, the situation of the Jiliao border army guarding Liaoyang, Shenyang, Shanhaiguan, and Jizhen is much better, but there are also some big and small problems.

The Guanning Iron Cavalry has a special mission, and the training is to compete with the alien Iron Cavalry in the wild, not simply to defend the city or defend the border pass, which is an army that has spent a lot of money in the treasury to train, if you want to train the border army into a heroic division like the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the treasury cannot support it at all.

The border army defense was the first, and the imperial court did not want to fight with foreign races outside the Saiwai, even if the city was conquered, it could not be occupied in the end, and finally had to withdraw to the Guannai and defend the Great Wall. Therefore, it is not only of practical significance to over-strengthen the army, but it is obvious that it costs the people and money.

In general, the Ming Dynasty did not want to take the road of reckless military force at all, otherwise Xuanzong would not have given up Annan, after all, the Yongle period had changed Annan to a county system.

Besides, he didn't look at those people posing there, and returned to the post house, and the two guards carried the master of Yan Helm, who had already fainted, into the post house.

Even if the layman is like that, at this time, he feels that there are Chu Ge on all sides, and the situation at this moment is the same as the last time he was in the tavern, the outside is already full of masters from all walks of life, even more than when he besieged the post house that day, but these people are well hidden, and ordinary people can't find it.

Moreover, I can only vaguely feel the solemn atmosphere, as if the cold autumn has arrived, and it seems that snowflakes are going to fall in the sky.

What Jun said is no longer safe here, and this is what he said.

Besides, he also wondered, he had already thrown out all the treasure maps, why did these guys still stare at him like hyenas? What the hell are they trying to do?

Xiaojun was beside him, and when he left, he asked Murong Yanran if he wanted him to stay here, and Murong Yanran only had one sentence: "Protect your lord." ”

Xiao Jun understood that the Qinwang faction must have a lot of masters outside, otherwise, it would definitely not be helpful to rely on Murong Yanran's master and apprentice, there are too many masters outside.

Murong Yanran received a lot of information at this time, a large category was friendly troops, most of them were masters or allies within the Qinwang faction, and there was not much information, just told her that she was here, and she would take action if necessary.

Murong Yanran was sure in her heart that it was difficult for these guys to move on weekdays, and it was already good if they knew how to rush over and take their responsibilities at critical moments.

The other type of information was obviously from the enemy, or discussed or threatened him to release these five gray-clothed men and Lord Yan. If you don't let people go, how about it, wow, wow, wow.

Murong Yanran directly ignored this kind of information, although she was a woman, she was even stronger than a man's character, and she would rather bend than bend, and there was no compromise.

Ji Chang looked at these people in a daze, he didn't know the situation outside at all, but he thought that the five gray-clothed men had the upper hand, otherwise, why didn't Murong Yanran's master and apprentice hurry up and take them down, did he want to hold some portrait exhibition here?

Therefore, he still prepared the bird guns, hand guns, and strong bows and crossbows one by one, as long as Murong Yanran needed it, it would be a round of sweeping.

Not to mention, his big killer weapons also have a certain deterrent effect on those masters outside, even if those masters can avoid the bombardment of these big killers, they must do their best, and then there is a moment of weakness, for masters like them, an instant is life and death, yin and yang are separated, so although those masters outside shouted fiercely at Murong Yanran, few people were willing to risk their lives.

The two sides are at a stalemate, which is also because in the city, there are civilians everywhere, and there is too little room for maneuver and maneuver, and the skills of these masters are restricted to a certain extent, and they cannot be fully exerted, so they are so timid.

In addition, these people outside have a certain effect on each other, and many people are staring at each other, and no one dares to move, so they can only look like this to find an opportunity to make a move.

Besides, it is true that the treasure map was thrown out, but these people felt that it was a living treasure map, and if they could catch it alive, they would not have to go to great lengths to gather the scattered treasure maps outside.

Fragmentary treasure maps are scattered in the hands of several people, and if they want to gather them together into a complete treasure map, it will naturally take a lot of effort, but the key is that these people are not willing to do this at all, and they don't want people to know that they have a corner of the treasure map in their hands.

Since this map is from Besides, you must know the location of the treasure map marked by the whole map, and the route to get there, so catching it is a shortcut.

Besides, last time I used the prestige of Jinyiwei to scare away a group of people, but there are still people who are not afraid of death, those people are lone wolves, with no parents, no brothers and sisters, and no relatives, friends, and teachers, so they are not afraid of retaliation at all.

Although there are not many such people in the rivers and lakes, they are also the most difficult to deal with.

There are also some people who have parents, brothers, teachers, relatives and friends, but they are bold and bold, and they feel that even if they make a move, they can do it without showing a trace, and the other party will never recognize themselves, so this kind of person is also buried in secret.

In addition, the people of the White Lotus Sect and the major sects outside the Saiwai sect, Jinyiwei can't control them at all, or they are Jinyiwei's sworn enemies, anyway, life and death are like that.

The people of the Qinwang faction are also far and near, like the people of the Quanzhen Sect, they can only be regarded as allies of the Qinwang faction, as reinforcements, they can play a certain role, but whether they are interested in the treasure map, no one knows, at least they have not yet shown their desire in this regard.

Moreover, when he came to his hospitality hall, that is, the trial scene of the former three-hall trial, Wang Chonggu and Fang Fengshi, Li Zhipeng, and the five commanders were waiting here.

Cao Delin and the others sat on it, with the posture of starting three sessions again, and the prisoners were of course these local military and political dignitaries sitting below.

Of course, it was just like, not really trying to interrogate them, but the atmosphere these people felt was like this, so everyone's hearts were up and down, like fifteen buckets hanging from their chests.

"See Lord-sama Chincha."

Besides, as soon as they walked in, no one shouted, and they all stood up and saluted.

"Everyone, please sit down, the situation outside is still unstable, the city is already under martial law, forgive me, Lord Governor." Besides.

"This is as it should be, as it should be." Governor Wang Chonggu was also shocked.

Without notifying him in advance, he ordered martial law in the whole city, which hurt his face a little, and of course he didn't mean this, but the time was too urgent at that time, and he didn't have time to discuss with Wang Chonggu, and he didn't even have time to inform him, in case those people in the barracks rushed out, and then rushed into Datong City, it would be a bad situation.
