"Open the door, open the door!"

"It's okay to hide in there? If you don't give an explanation today, you will never give up! ”

"Just tell him to get out of Yangzhou, pull him out!"

Although Chen Mingxia, who was pale, but still held his head high, was escorted in, but the sound of banging on the door outside crackled, and the whole gate was smashed with a rumbling sound.

Seeing this, Liu Junfeng sent more half-shed soldiers to go up, resisted the gate to death, and then asked someone to carry some heavy objects against the door, seeing that the gate was almost blocked, this was a sigh of relief.

"Lord Chen!" Liu Junfeng hugged his fist and said, "Please wait in the house for a while, if anyone is offended, please bear with me." ”

Although the other party is a small sentinel, he is neither humble nor arrogant, in terms of reasoning, Chen Mingxia was a little angry, nodded, and said, "The rest of the matter will be left to you." ”

Seeing Qin Shouhua again, he remembered that he saved it, and a little smile appeared on his face at the moment, and said, "The strong man has a heart, so he will stay with me in the future, how about it?" ”

"Adults, the villains are just repaying their gratitude, and they have their own places to go afterwards, and the adults say, the villains dare not respond to orders."

Originally, Chen Mingxia was afraid of people talking, so it was inconvenient to recruit these few illicit salt dealers who looked good, but when he opened his mouth at this time, they actually refused, he was deeply surprised, and after looking at Qin Shouhua deeply, he entered the room with his back and drank tea to suppress the shock.

"You guys, you're all good......"

Liu Junfeng looked at Qin Shouhua and said in a deep voice, "You might as well join the army......

Before he finished speaking, a straight guard exclaimed, "My lord, look! ”

When I turned my head, I gasped.

In all directions, the walls were full of dense human heads, all of them with hideous faces, pointing here and scolding.

Suddenly, the whole courtyard was noisy and scolding, coupled with the noise outside, the sound of crackling doors, even if it was a veteran of several battles in the direct guard, at this time, the pressure was doubled, and I felt very frightened.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Junfeng's face turned a little pale.

Chen Mingxia was appointed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to protect him, if there is any accident here today, how to explain it?

"Let's do it!" At the critical moment, Liu Junfeng's resolute and resolute side was also shown, looking at the courtyard wall, seeing that there were already many scoundrels jumping into the courtyard, he ordered in a deep voice: "Archers, anyone who lands and enters, will be shot!" ”

There are less than ten archers in the courtyard, and at this time they are also silently promised, and they have already put on the short string suitable for close-range sniping, at this time Zhang Bow leads the arrow, but listening to Liu Junfeng's voice: "Shooting" word, is to loosen the finger that draws the bow, the iron feather is like a flying locust, and immediately flew towards the scoundrels who jumped down.

In the screams, there were more people, either voluntarily, or squeezed, like dumplings, and kept jumping down into the courtyard!

And with the bloody qi, everyone's complexion became even more vicious, and many people pulled out the knife on their bodies at the same time as they went down the wall, and pounced towards Liu Junfeng and the others!

"Defend the enemy!"

In the trembling sound of the bowstring, all the guards drew their swords in their hands and protected them in front of the archers, and behind them was the central hall where Chen Mingxia lived.

"Whoever takes a step back, slash!"

Looking at the scoundrel faces gathered together, a mixture of hideous and timid, Liu Junfeng also slowly drew his knife in his hand, and stood at the forefront of the formation.

Seeing him like this, Qin Shouhua also smiled, took a few steps forward, and stood by Liu Junfeng's side.

Behind everyone, Chen Mingxia stood in front of the window, looking at the situation outside, he also had a sword in his hand. At this moment, he didn't have too much fear and panic, and he knew in his heart that if the guards were defeated, he would immediately kill himself with his sword, and he would never fall into the hands of these scoundrels and be humiliated!

............ "Officer Zhong Ying, please have tea." ”

The crown prince rectified the defense of Jiangbei, and the biggest change was that there were more military towns.

There were originally dozens of guards in Jiangbei, what Yi Zhenwei, Jiangdu Wei, Gaoyou Guard, now the guard no longer exists, the south Zhili area, the last record is that the guards guard Fengyang, of course, tens of thousands of guards can not guard a city, all commanders were killed by thieves, since then, there has been no record of large-scale mobilization of guards.

Now all the guards will be abolished, and those who are interested in serving as soldiers can sign up for the generalissimo's palace town army, and those who do not want to become the main force in the field to go north can be stationed in the army box, and then the next class is the auxiliary soldiers of each battalion, that is, the former chief.

And then there are still some restocking troops, reserve soldiers, and there are many tricks, but for the time being, there are no financial and human resources to do it.

As for the original Huai'an Governor and other military commanders and civilian officials in charge of the military, they were all abolished, and the original Cao Governor and Huaifu Fu were divided between Huai'an Town and Yangzhou Town.

Under the town, there are associations, battalions, communications, and ponds, according to the distribution of rivers, road checkpoints to set up defense areas, how many soldiers and equipment per card, strictly distinct, and the tasks are also very clear.

In front of this chaos, the first thing should be the garrison battalion in the city to quell the chaos!

"The movement over there in the Slender West Lake is too big, I have already been invited by your official to not move for the time being, and now like this, sending troops again, the crime is not small!"

The battalion officer surnamed Zhong pushed the teacup back, his face was embarrassed, and the greed in his eyes was clearly visible.

"Okay, the prefect has heard about this, Yangzhou is not better than other places, there are some errands, since it is a popular uprising, it seems that the army will be suppressed, it seems that it will be true, it is your general soldier General Liu, and then up to His Royal Highness the Prince, it will make people gossip, why bother?"

It was a minor official in the yamen of the government who came to persuade Zhong Yingguan, and he had no personal relationship with the prefect, and the prefect did go to the place where the people revolted, and what he wanted now was that the garrison must not be dispatched.

As he spoke, he pushed the teacup over again, and this time, the package handed under the table was a little heavier.

The battalion official surnamed Zhong is also Liu Konghe's confidant, brought from Shandong, his father is a lifter, and he is also a student, so he is placed in this important place in Yangzhou. is usually considered to be careful and careful, but at this time, a few hundred taels of silver are collected, and his hard work of promoting and reusing him has also been left behind.

"I want to explain first that the prefecture and county do not call the garrison to dispatch, and it has nothing to do with the officers of the battalion."

It's okay to make this request, so you might as well agree to it first.

Anyway, if the matter is big, the boss will definitely be angry and will investigate. However, Donglin, the gentry of Jiangnan, who had already made an appointment to make a mistake like a bee stinging head, had to say that this matter was an official and civil change, Chen Mingxia acted in a hurry, and the prince was anxious to seek merit, regardless of the life or death of the next person, even if the emperor favored the prince, he would deal with it afterwards, at most, he would push a group of dead ghosts out.

The first few Jiangnan civil uprisings, wasn't this how they were handled?

If you really hold it accountable, it will definitely be a dog eating a dog when the time comes, Yangzhou Prefecture and County will never admit that there is such a thing, and when the time comes, it will be good to call this battalion official to hit the sky.

I thought so in my heart, but I only said in my mouth: "Lord Zhong, this matter is so final, please rest assured." ”

"Oh, that's the best."

The two of them each have ghosts, sitting in the east gate tower drinking tea, the soldiers on guard around are still the old clothes of the Ming officers and soldiers, red tasseled hats, mandarin duck fat jackets, cloth shoes under the iron mesh skirt, weapons in their hands, are standard waist knives and iron guns, and there are some archers and firecrackers, patrolling and guarding the city.

Originally, Liu Kong and his department were recruited gentry and farmers, and their equipment was very poor, and later they were dismissed a lot of weak soldiers from Liu Zeqing's department and Huaiyang Town, saving these battle jackets and weapons, and there were stocks in the treasury of the Nanjing Military Department and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, saying that they were garrison soldiers and did not bear field tasks, but they trained physically every day, practiced equipment every three days, and practiced the army formation every five days.

That is, the salaries of the soldiers have been raised, the food is not bad, and there are no complaints about the training, but the military attachés at the first level have not increased much, and there is a lot of resentment in my heart.

At this time, the battalion official received the money, so he might as well put his heart in his heart: "It's not that the general is greedy for money, now he is not allowed to eat empty quotas, and the military salary is deducted, the Huang Zijun Law Department and the Wude Division, as well as the Internal Affairs Bureau, are all staring at it, and they don't dare to take this risk if they want to get a few, and now the monthly salary is twenty taels, which is said to be an increase compared with before...... Is this money enough? ”

As he was talking, a military attache on duty at the head of the city came to report: "My lord, a few miles away from the east, there is a lot of smoke and dust, and it seems that there are cavalry rushing here." ”

"Huh?"

Zhong Yingguan's face changed, and he immediately stood up, pushed the window and looked at the household, and his face immediately turned pale.

To the northeast, there is indeed a lot of smoke and dust on the official road, and it can already be vaguely seen that there is a large group of cavalry wearing armor, and the banner is waving in the wind in mid-air, which looks very dazzling.

"Isn't it Lord Liu?"

Liu Konghe is the chief soldier of Yangzhou Town, and there are more than 4,000 Ma Bu troops under it, and now the main task is to set up flood pond defense troops in various places, and then inspect more than once a day, there will be a big storm in the south of the Yangtze River, in order to prevent it, it is also to focus on the river defense.

Now in the Yangzhou area, except for Liu Konghe, I am afraid that no one can have such a group of cavalry.

Of course, Officer Zhong Yingguan also knew the reason, wiped his sweat at the moment, and replied: "It is not necessarily the chief military officer who personally leads the team, it may be Deputy General Wang, or General Li who leads the cavalry battalion, leading the troops out to patrol." If the chief officer personally leads the team......"

"Then it's okay, the chief military officer can't interfere in local government affairs!"

Now, the official also ripped his face, and without waiting for the Zhong Ying official to agree, he just ordered: "Call the officials and village soldiers who came with him to block the city gate, there is chaos in Yangzhou City, and foreign soldiers are not allowed to trespass without reason!" ”

After that, he sat down to drink tea again, and said with a smile: "Block for a while, you don't have to press it, and the crowd will naturally disperse." ”

Calculate the time, it is almost possible to catch Chen Mingxia, most of them are beaten, Chen Mingxia and the prince are faceless, and then slowly fight a lawsuit.

Even if the kid surnamed Chen is beaten to death, what's the matter?
