Chapter 447: Zhong Catches the Head

At this moment, when he spoke, in the impression of Zhong Zhutou, in the past, he had never seen Hong Antong's expression so serious as today, his words were so sincere and sincere, his eyes were full of hope, and he was looking forward to his answer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the past few years, after going through ups and downs, and working in the Yamen of the Jinhua Prefect for so many years, Zhong Zhutou has been sent to too many prefects, what kind of officials have not seen it? How could he be deceived by Hong Antong's momentary disguise? All kinds of sincerity is just an illusion, Zhong Zhutou is not a stunned boy in his twenties, and he will not be confused by Hong Antong's words.

Even so, Zhong Zhutou had no intention of protecting himself, not only for his own considerations, but also for the safety of the people in the city. But there are still a few suggestions, I hope it can be useful to adults and can do their part. ”

Hong Antong was approving, and said secretly, this old catcher is still a little smart, and he has not wasted his entrustment in the past few years, even if he lowers his posture to "ask for advice", Zhong Zhutou can still stay sober, without the slightest sense of arrogance, it is still the respect of the past, and the words are grasped in a certain degree.

Thinking of these, Hong Antong's whole body instantly surged with a faint sense of pleasure, like a trickle, moisturizing every cell in the body, at this moment, Hong Antong couldn't help but relax a lot, not as nervous as before.

These thoughts happened in a blink of an eye, but in the blink of an eye, Hong Antong didn't act like an official anymore, and said in a friendly tone: "Zhong Zhutou, you're polite, come on, what kind of suggestions?" ”

The tension of the situation, the faint overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, so that Hong Antong's words will inevitably have urgency and urging, Zhong Zhutou can understand very well, did not postpone it any longer, not directly proposed, but said slowly: "My lord, the current situation is very clear, those rebels in the south have long been the idea of attacking our Jinhua Mansion, so the assassination of various generals happened a few days ago." If the subordinates are not wrong, combined with the refugees who fled to our city, in the next few days, those thieves are likely to hit the city and threaten the safety of Jinhua Mansion. ”

In a word, although Zhong Zhutou said it simply, it contained too much information, not only a summary of the assassination case of the garrison general, but also the impending crisis, for a while, Hong Antong's heart was a little flustered, and he couldn't help but question Zhong Zhutou's judgment, and asked again and again: "Zhong Zhutou, can those anti-thieves act so fast?" Will it hit the city of our Jinhua City in the near future? ”

"Hmm... Yes, my lord, judging from the current situation, it should be like this, my lord, you see, from the killing of the garrison generals to the influx of a small number of refugees into the city, it took almost half a month, and these all show that the actions of the anti-thieves were planned for a long time, and the subordinates believed that within five days, those anti-thieves would definitely take action against Jinhua City. Otherwise, the significance of their assassination of generals will be greatly reduced. ”

"Zhong Zhutou, what do you mean? Why do you think that the thieves will attack Jinhua City in five days? Hong Antong had already believed most of it, but he still had some doubts in his heart, and couldn't help asking.

"This is very simple, my lord, you might as well imagine that the anti-thieves can capture Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces in a row, move quickly, and block the news so tightly, and then assassinate the garrison generals in advance, it is not difficult to see that this group of anti-thieves is not only unusual, but also has sufficient preparations, and there is no shortage of strategists in the army, therefore, as long as they are not stupid, they will inevitably take action against Jinhua Mansion in a short period of time."

After a pause, he seemed to feel some doubts from Hong Antong, and Zhong Zhutou continued to explain: "If these anti-thieves drag on for too long, we will react, so as to report to the imperial court, and at the same time make corresponding preparations to reduce the impact of the death of the garrison generals as much as possible, and through some measures, stabilize the garrison and the city defense battalion, and strengthen the defense capability of Jinhua City." In this way, if those rebels want to attack Jinhua Mansion again, it will be more difficult and the losses will be greater, which is also the basis for their subordinates to judge that they must take action within five days. ”

Hong Antong suddenly brightened, nodded frequently, and completely agreed, his body was full of negative emotions, and his face was ugly.

However, this situation did not last long, and suddenly, as soon as he recalled Zhong Zhutou's analysis again, Hong Antong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Zhong Zhutou, what are the measures you said to pass through them?" ”

When talking, after talking for so long, after gaining Hong Antong's approval, Zhong Zhutou became relaxed, less submissive, and more confident, and said slowly: "My lord, these measures are the suggestions that I want to make for the small ones, and there are three suggestions." ”

"Oh~? All three? Seeing the confidence that Zhong Zhutou said, Hong Antong was also a little more relieved out of thin air, and asked again.

"My lord, my subordinates think so, the situation is critical now, and Jinhua Mansion may fall at any time. Therefore, the subordinates felt that the first thing you should do, as Master Han said, should immediately report the situation to the imperial court. ”

"Secondly, my lord also has to write a line, immediately ask the governor of Jiangsu for help, and at the same time send troops to support, I hope that he can give an order, it is best to appoint some future who are good at marching and fighting, to come to control and pacify the garrison of Jinhua Mansion, as well as the city defense battalion in the city."

The more Zhong Zhutou said, the clearer his thoughts became, and Hong Antong nodded frequently with satisfaction, and when he was about to continue, he was interrupted by Master Han's words.

"Zhong Zhukuai, our Jinhua Mansion belongs to the jurisdiction of Zhejiang, but the governor of Jiangsu can't control it, even if the order of the governor of Jiangsu comes down, can we control the garrison and city defense battalion of Jinhua Mansion? What's more, the direct prefect of the prefect is the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, even if he wants to report for instructions, he should report to the governor~! ”

At this moment, Hong Antong showed a look of approval, and when he was about to echo, Zhong Zhutou said helplessly: "Master Han, if you can, I think so too." However, you should know that Fujian has fallen and is controlled by anti-thieves, and the Governor still does not know whether he is alive or dead, and there is no news, where do you ask the prefect to find it? ”

"Looking at the entire southeast region, the biggest official in our Jinhua Mansion is the governor of Jiangsu, if you don't look for him, who else can you look for?" In a trance, before the other two people noticed, a trace of disdain flashed in Zhong Zhutou's eyes, and he looked down on Master Han, a dignified prefect master, and his reaction was so stupid.

At this moment, Master Han's face was full of embarrassment, and he became silent, but Hong Antong didn't care about this, he was very anxious, and said again and again: "Zhong Zhutou, what you said is good, when you should do this, I will draft the excerpt of the imperial court and the text of the rescue to the governor of Jiangsu, you hurry up and talk about the last suggestion, now time is running out." ”

Zhong Zhutou no longer paid attention to Master Han, came back to his senses, nodded to Hong Antong, and continued: "My lord, what my subordinates are going to say next is very important, and it is also the most important of the three suggestions. ”

After a slight pause, he looked around for a moment, and then said: "Finally, and now the top priority, my lord, you must go to the city defense camp and garrison, lay out the facts with them, reason, and try to say some truths about both prosperity and loss, after all, the skin will not be attached to it." ”

Hong Antong's face was embarrassed, very unconfident, and said a little hesitantly: "Zhong Zhukuai, you should know that as a prefect of a prefecture, the officers and soldiers of the surrounding garrisons and city defense battalions are not under my control. ”

"My lord, my subordinates also know, but only with the officials and officials in the city, they can't defend the city at all, so they can only maintain law and order in the city and manage the ordinary people, not to mention, we have a series of actions next, and we must have the cooperation of the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion. Otherwise, the goal will not be achieved at all. ”

"Action? A series of actions? Zhong Zhutou, what do you say? What kind of action must be coordinated by the city defense battalion? It seems that he has caught something, Hong Antong asked in surprise.

Zhong Zhutou knew that if he didn't make it clear and didn't make it clear, the prefect would not be able to realize the true seriousness of the matter and the serious threat hidden in Jinhua City, so he said solemnly: "My lord, you should know that the murderers who killed the garrison and the generals of the city defense battalion have not yet been found, and according to the examination and autopsy of his subordinates at the scene of the murder, the weapons in the hands of those murderers are not simple, and it is very likely to be a bird." ”

At this moment, Hong Antong was shocked and unintentionally added, but he didn't understand what Zhong Zhutou meant: "That... What's wrong with that? ”

"Lord Prefect, if there are only three, five, six or seven of these murderers, there is nothing to have bird guns, but once these murderers are a group of people, and there are a large number of bird guns, even if we are rescued by the governor of Jiangsu and persuaded the soldiers of the garrison and the city defense battalion, do you think we can still hold Jinhua City?"

In the face of Zhong Zhutou's persuasion, Hong Antong has fully reacted and understands what Zhong Zhutou means, why do he have to insist on the cooperation of the officers and soldiers of the city defense battalion?

It's very simple, Zhong Zhutou wants to catch these murderers before the thieves arrive, and those who have bird guns will search the whole city door to door to ensure that there are no large number of bird guns in Jinhua City.

Without waiting for Hong Antong to answer, Master Han, who had been wilting, was almost subconsciously scared: "Of course it's impossible!" ”

Hong Antong, who was robbed, immediately glared at Master Han, did not continue to dwell on this matter, and was about to say something, when there was a sudden roar and the sound of guns outside.

Boom...

Da Da...

It was the sound of mortars and machine guns, and none of the three people in the room knew machine guns and mortars, let alone what kind of weapons they were coming from. However, the noisy gunfire and gunfire made the three of them realize that the situation was not good, and they did not delay any longer, and at the same time ran out quickly, only Hong Antong's anxious voice echoed.

"Quick, go out and see, what's going on?" (To be continued.) )
