"Bell"

In front of the small east gate of Kunming City, there was a rapid sound of gongs, and the curious people looked at the sound and found that several secretaries leading a dozen soldiers in the government were posting notices there. The soldiers were posting the list, and the clerks were shouting at the top of their voices: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has an edict, and the people come and see!" ”

The people from all directions were attracted to the front of the small west gate by the sound of gongs and the shouts of the secretary office, and they crowded the front of the small west gate with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the people in front of them looked at the list but couldn't say why, because they were illiterate. The people in the back couldn't see what was written in front of them, and the literate ones couldn't read the list because they were too far away, so they could only desperately shout for the people in front to let them go over and tell everyone. But the crowd was crowded, and where could they squeeze through.

Some anxious people saw an acquaintance in the bookstore, so they shouted: "Second Master Chen, if His Royal Highness the King of Jin has any message, you always read it." ”

That Chen Erye is a middle-aged secretary, King Qin in Yunnan when the imperial examination in the show, although the King of Qin has now become a big rebel, but the court also recognized the scholar he took in Yunnan, but even if the holy car moved to Kunming, there was no more imperial examination, not to mention the township examination in Yunnan, so Chen Erye this Xiucai has never been able to take a step forward to become a master, these years have been in the yamen to do a small book, barely to support the family.

Seeing that it was the neighbors calling for themselves, Chen Erye whispered a few words to the leader of the team, and after getting the other party's consent, he walked a few steps forward, and then shouted to the onlookers: "Everyone be quiet, be quiet, I will tell you about the list of His Royal Highness King Jin." ”

The crowd quieted down suddenly, and everyone was looking at Second Master Chen.

Second Master Chen first sighed secretly in his heart, and then raised his voice to the crowd: "Your Highness said, he has been in Yunnan for many years, and he has been taken care of and supported by the people, and the people of Yunnan are also like father and son, and I want to share peace with the people, but now the Qing army in the north has entered Yunnan in a big way, and the state affairs are in danger. There are many dangers here, the mountains and rivers are far away, and there are Qing soldiers pursuing, so His Highness really can't take the people with him, and I ask the people to understand His Highness's distress. His Royal Highness also said that he was afraid that the Qing army would massacre the people after entering the city, and the people were unarmed and difficult to resist, so His Royal Highness blocked the Qing army for the people for a few days, hoping that everyone could evacuate from the city quickly. ”

"The holy car wants to move again? Evacuate? ”

After listening to Second Master Chen's words, the crowd was in a commotion, some understood what King Jin said, and some didn't understand, so those who didn't understand asked, "What does Your Highness want to say to us?" ”

"Say what?"

Second Master Chen smiled bitterly, raised his voice sharply, and shouted: "Your Highness asked you to escape from Kunming quickly, because this Kunming city is unbearable!" If you don't leave, you will suffer when the Qing army enters the city! ”

"Huh?!"

The crowd exploded, and they were so timid that they cried out in fear when they thought of the rumors in the city in the past few days.

Some people couldn't believe it, and asked Second Master Chen loudly: "The Son of Heaven is still in the city and has not left, why does His Highness want us to leave the city?" ”

"Son of Heaven?" Second Master Chen's cheeks twitched, looked at the man and shook his head and said, "The Son of Heaven has already left the city." ”

"Ahh

The man opened his mouth wide and looked at Second Master Chen in disbelief. The surrounding people knew that a catastrophe was coming, and the holy car was gone, and I am afraid that Kunming would not be guaranteed.

"Fellow villagers, don't stand here, hurry up and go home to pack up your things and run away with your wife and children!"

After Chen Erye finished speaking, he bowed his hand to the crowd, and then hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd with a few books that had long been absent-minded. They also have wives and children, and they also have relatives, and they are also going to run away.

"The Son of Heaven has run away, the Son of Heaven has run away!"

"Kunming can't hold it, the Qing soldiers are coming, everyone should go out of the city and flee for their lives!"

“”

The Jin King's edict was posted in dozens of places in Kunming at the same time, and almost at the same time, the city of Kunming was crying and shouting, and hundreds of people helped the old and the young to flee outside the city.

On the other side of Xicheng, in the chaos, someone shouted loudly in the crowd: "The soldiers of the King of Jin are driving to the West Gate, everyone go and run with the car!" ”

When the people who fled like headless flies heard this, they didn't care about the truth or falsehood, and they all rushed to the west gate, and sure enough, the army of the king of Jin was keeping hundreds of carriages out of the city from the west gate.

"Go with the Holy Driver, go with the Holy Driver!"

"Everyone, go to the West Gate, the King of Jin's soldiers Bao Shengjia has left from the West City, everyone hurry up and follow!"

In the city of Kunming, there were people everywhere shouting that the people would go to Xicheng to chase the holy car. This move made Jin Tongwu, the general under the command of the King of Jin who protected the holy car's westward retreat, furious, but he couldn't capture the "spies" who were clamoring for the people to chase the holy car, let alone drive the people away from them, so he had to order the holy car to move quickly, and the people in Kunming City couldn't slow down the holy car's westward retreat

In the big tent of the Jin King's army, His Royal Highness the King of Jin looked at the subordinates who came from Kunming with a worried face, and asked, "Has the holy car left the city?" ”

"It's out of town."

"Okay, after the people withdraw another batch, I will ask General Jin to burn all the grain stored in the warehouse in the city, don't invest in the enemy!"

"Order!"

The man who came answered the order with a loud voice, and the flying horse galloped back.

Bai Wenxuan, the king of Gongchang, also had a worried face, and he said to King Jin: "Your Highness, are you really not going to Sichuan?" ”

The king of Jin hesitated slightly, and finally made up his mind: "If you don't go to Sichuan, go to western Yunnan instead." ”

Hearing this, Bai Wenxuan sighed, no longer persuaded, and only said: "My Royal Highness and I retreated to western Yunnan, but Feng Shuangli, the king of Qingyang, the king of Wugong, and Ai Chengye, the prince of Yan'an, refused to go to western Yunnan, but instead led the troops to transfer to Jianchang, Sichuan, isn't this to part ways with us?" ”

"They and I are not of the same mind, and now that disaster is coming, why should they go with Lone."

Li Dingguo had an angry look on his face, obviously Feng Shuangli and they refused to retreat west, but went to Sichuan to make him angry.

Seeing that Dingguo was angry, Bai Wenxuan stopped talking, but Jin Weixin, the right attendant of the ministry, suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, Zou Jianchen, the right envoy of the General Administration Department, is unwilling to attach His Highness to the west, and spreads rumors among the courtiers, and has repeatedly slandered His Majesty. ”

"Really?" Li Dingguo raised his eyebrows, "Go, take Zou Jianchen down and put him to death." ”

Bai Wenxuan was taken aback when he heard this, but what surprised him even more was that the King of Jin casually ordered left and right: "Go and take down Guangping Bo Chen Jian!" ”

Guangping Bo Chen Jian is the general of Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, after the death of the king of Shu, the 3,000 elite soldiers of the Shu palace are commanded by Chen Jian. According to the evacuation plan, Chen Jiandang led his troops to go west with the holy car, but now the King of Jin wants to send someone to arrest Chen Jian, isn't this adding chaos to the chaos, and making those "Qin soldiers" even more chilling!

The so-called Qin soldiers are the old troops of Sun Kewang who were pacified by Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, and Sun Kewang's elite army is the main one, with a strength of about forty or fifty thousand people, Feng Shuangli, Wang Hui, and Ai Nengye belong to the Qin soldiers. After Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qin soldiers were appeased by the King of Shu and were afraid of the King of Jin, so they were all the only ones who looked forward to the King of Shu. After the king of Shu died of illness, the king of Jin discriminated more against the Qin soldiers, suppressed them in many ways, and made the Qin soldiers dissatisfied, which is why Feng Shuangli and they refused to retreat west with the king of Jin, but united to go to central Sichuan, and it was also the reason why the king of Jin ordered the arrest of Chen Jian, because the king of Jin was worried that Chen Jian would also lead his troops to follow Feng Shuangli and them to Sichuan.

If Chen Jian was alone, the King of Jin had no intention of harming his life, but the three thousand elite soldiers of the Shu Wangfu under his subordinates were a rare force, and now the soldiers and horses of the King of Jin and the King of Gongchang should concentrate on dealing with Wu Sangui, and the soldiers and horses escorted by Jin Tongwu were only a few thousand people and Chen Jian's troops, if Chen Jian also went with Feng Shuangli and them, the escort soldiers and horses would be thin. Therefore, just in case, King Jin could only take down Chen Jian.

Bai Wenxuan really wanted to say to King Jin that your order would only make the disaster worse, but seeing King Jin's firm expression, the words of persuasion could only be swallowed. Since the defeat of the King of Jin, he has behaved more and more perversely, and if he is judged to be two people in the past, many times Bai Wenxuan can only choose not to squeak, otherwise, I am afraid that the King of Jin will suspect him.

There were more than a dozen people in the tent Chinese Wu, but they were taken by Jin Wangwei, and no one dared to persuade. Only the governor of Guizhou, Gu Yantai's face changed slightly, and he slipped out of the tent while people were unprepared, and ordered his relatives to go to the secret report to Guangping Bo Chen Jian as soon as possible, so that he could lead his troops to flee so as not to be harmed by the king of Jin.
