"Well, the defenders above the city head listen, we are the subordinates of Gao Jiegao, the chief soldier of Jiangxi, and we came today to be ordered by the imperial court to enter Panyang County, if you know each other, you should open the city gate quickly, otherwise, when our army goes out to attack the city, don't blame us for being polite."

Outside the city of Panyang County, Raozhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province, an army of more than 30,000 people only surrounded Panyang County, and the knife was unsheathed, the bow was wound, and the fight was about to start if there was a disagreement, which made the county commander of Panyang County and others couldn't help but be anxious, but what made people feel strange was that whether it was the head of Panyang County, or the army that surrounded Panyang County, the banner was the banner of the Ming Dynasty, such a strange scene, how not to make people feel strange.

"Wu Gongzi, what can you do about this, if we don't open the city and surrender, I'm afraid they will really come in, during this period of time, Dexing County, Anren County has been broken by them, I heard that the palace county order of Dexing County was also killed by this group of rebels, you see what we should do." At this time, a group of people above the city looked at the army under the city with anxious faces and had a conversation, and the person who spoke was slightly fat, looked to be in his forties, and was wearing a seven-rank official uniform, which was the county magistrate of Panyang County, Mu Feng.

It stands to reason that Mu Feng, as the head of a county, is commonly known as Baili Hou, and he is the overlord of a county, and the entire Panyang County should be his master, but what is surprising is that he is like a flattering villain at this time, asking for something to a young man in white Confucian clothes next to him.

To be able to be so young, but let Mu Feng pay so much attention to him, his own identity will definitely not be very precious, after all, people like Shi Lei also belong to cherished animals in this era, since it is not his own reason, then there is only one reason why Mu Feng can be so valued, that is, he has a very strong background, and in this era, the biggest background is his own family.

The actual reason is indeed so, this Wu Gongzi is called Wu Yingqiu, is the largest family in Panyang County, the eldest son of the Wu family, speaking of the Wu family, in the entire Panyang County around it, there is nothing I don't know, up to the county officials, down to the peddlers and pawns, the reason why this is so is not only because the Wu family is rich, nearly half of the shops in Panyang County are the Wu family's family business, and more importantly, the Wu family is a family with a long heritage, it is said that since the Southern Song Dynasty, the Wu family has been difficult from the north of the Yangtze River to this Jiangxi land, and then passed through the Yuan Dynasty, Until the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Wu family took refuge in the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, although the official is not big, but since then, the Wu family is really developed, in Jiangxi this mountain and sea of books, the Wu family is willing to spend money to feast on famous teachers, the Wu family soon became a big family of poetry and book heirlooms, and then, for more than two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty, the Wu family not only did not cut off poetry and books, but also often had children to be officials, just like that, hundreds of years, the Wu family is not only in Panyang, in Jiangxi, and even in the whole south are famous.

With such a prominent background, it is no wonder that Wu Gongzi is so arrogant, and it is only natural for Mu Feng to be so stubborn.

After hearing Mu Feng's words, he heard that the iron-faced Wu Gongzi immediately waved his hand, and said decisively, "No, Master Mu, if you open the city gate like this, your official hat can certainly be obtained, but have you ever thought about what will happen to our Wu army, when the time comes, if those rebellious soldiers enter the city, I am afraid that they will be ransacked by those rebellious soldiers like the An family in Dexing County and the Xue family in Xingren County, if that is really the case, this son and his father are the sinners of my Wu family, so, In any case, this city gate must not be opened, and at the same time, you must give a good account to the soldiers who are defending the city, if they don't have to defend the city, when the time comes, be careful that Ben Gongzi will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

As soon as Wu Yingqiu's words were finished, the faces of all the surrounding soldiers defending the city suddenly changed greatly, you know, originally these soldiers defending the city were driven to the shelves by ducks, and were forced up with knives by their respective superiors, although the world was in chaos, but the land of Jiangxi did not suffer much disaster, so that these defenders of the land of Jiangxi were not like other places, they had been on the battlefield and seen blood.

Originally, these soldiers were a little uneasy in their hearts, but now when they heard Wu Yingqiu say this, how could they be comfortable in their hearts, and even many soldiers secretly hoped that those soldiers outside the city would be able to attack the city as soon as possible, so as to kill all these bastards.

Wu Yingqiu's words not only made the surrounding soldiers uncomfortable, but even Mu Feng's heart was secretly scolded, but after all, Mu Feng was different from those Qiu Ba, he had been an official for many years, and this city government had also been practiced, although he was uncomfortable, but he still said to Wu Yingqiu with a smile on his face, "Wu Gongzi, it's not that the lower officials say frustrating words, you must know that these chaotic soldiers outside the city are Gao Jie's subordinates, what kind of person Gao Jie is, you should know, that is a stunned young man who doesn't want to die, I heard that he not only kidnapped Li Zicheng's wife back then, Some time ago, he led people to fight a few battles with the Manchu army, if this kind of person wants to attack us, it is not something that our small county town can stop at all, so if we refuse them now, I am afraid that if we don't wait until sunrise tomorrow, this Panyang County will be returned to Gaojie, so you better think about it! ”

"This is not something that this son should consider, the court spends so much money every year, is it true that you people are just for food, there is a city wall to block it, and those people can attack it, anyway, you have to defend this city for me, otherwise, this son will definitely let people take off your black gauze hat." After listening to Mu Feng's words, Wu Yingqiu suddenly shouted with some uncontrollable expression on his face.

As soon as these words came out, even with Mu Feng's city government, his face was a little unbearable, and his face was about to turn his face as soon as he changed, but fortunately, at this time, a voice came from not far away and said, "Qiu'er, don't stop talking, how can you talk to Lord County, you have forgotten what the old man taught you to be, and you don't want to apologize to Lord Mu soon." ”

With the landing of the words, I saw an old man walking quickly from not far away, and saw this person, whether it was Mu Feng or Wu Yingqiu, they all quickly greeted the past, this person is the uncrowned king of Panyang County, the head of the Wu family, Wu Yingqiu's father, Wu Shourong, Wu Shourong was originally a member of the imperial court, once served as the governor of a province, and also had a certain huge network in the imperial court, therefore, after resigning, in Panyang, that is also a figure like the overlord of the earth.

With Wu Shourong's words, Wu Yingqiu had to reluctantly apologize to Mu Feng, and after Mu Feng accepted it with a smile, he heard Wu Shourong say to Mu Feng, "Lord Mu, what I said just now, the old man has already heard it, although the words of the dog are a bit radical, but now it is really impossible to open the city and surrender, you know, this Gao Jie was originally a rogue generation, although now under the banner of the imperial court, but their nature is difficult to change, therefore, this city gate can never be opened, otherwise, if this matter is known to the imperial court or Lord Jin, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain, what's more important is that now in the land of Jiangxi, Lord Jin has the greatest strength, Gao Jie is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and he can't do it after a few jumps, so if at this time, if Lord Mu can resist Gao Jie, after Gao Jie retreats in the future, Lord Mu will definitely have a bright future. ”

Wu Shourong is worthy of being a high-ranking official, after a few words, there are soft and hard, coercion and temptation, so that Mu Feng, who was originally very dissatisfied with Wu Jun in his heart, immediately became apprehensive in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Master Wu, your words are very reasonable, and the lower officials don't want to open the city and surrender, but now, this is not something that the lower officials can control, with these rabble in the city, they are not the opponents of the army outside the city at all, and within a round, they will definitely be able to break through the city, if it really comes to that time, But it will tear up the face with that group of rebels, and when the time comes, I am afraid that Dexing County will be a lesson for us. ”

Hearing Mu Feng's words, Wu Shourong chuckled and waved his hand and said, "Lord Mu, please rest assured, the reason why the old man asked the lord not to open the city and surrender is precisely because of this incident, not long ago, the old man had asked people to go out of the city and sent a letter to Lord Jin in Nanchang Mansion, Nanchang Mansion is not far from here, if you hurry up, there will definitely be a back and forth in one day and one night, don't look at Gao Jie's people and horses now, but compared to Lord Jin, he is just an insignificant ant, so, the old man is sure, As long as they receive Lord Jin's order, they will definitely collect their troops and return, therefore, the old man does not ask Lord Mu for anything else, as long as Lord Mu can hold the city for a day and a night without losing it, then when the matter is completed, the old man and our Wu family will definitely repay Lord Mu well. ”

After having Wu Shourong's assurance, Mu Feng also had confidence in his heart, after all, in Mu Feng's mind, he still trusted Wu Shourong's words very much.

"Okay, with these words of the boss, even if the lower officials are desperate, they will hold on for a day and a night." Although Mu Feng agreed more happily, there was still something else in his words.

"Dad, it's just a seven-grade sesame official, why are you so polite to him, if he dares not to listen to us, when the time comes, you can send a letter to Lord Jin or a few friends in the court, it is not easy to take him down, so why bother." After the Wu family's father and son left the city, Wu Yingqiu, who had already endured his absence, couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, you rebel, the old man usually asks you to study hard and learn more ways to deal with people, but you just don't listen, until now you are just a showman, you haven't even passed the exam, and you don't know anything about how to behave in the world, if you go on like this, my Wu family will be handed over to you, won't you wait for the family to be ruined?" After listening to Wu Yingqiu's words, Wu Shourong couldn't help but scold him angrily.

Hearing Wu Shourong's angry rebuke, although Wu Yingqiu was unconvinced, he still didn't dare to resist on the surface, but just lowered his head and didn't speak.

Seeing Wu Yingqiu like this, Wu Shourong sighed before explaining, "Qiu'er, do you think it's a good thing for my father to talk to a seven-grade sesame official in a low voice when he is so old, you know, it is no longer the world it used to be, if the imperial court is still there, with the prestige of our Wu Jun in the past and the relationship with my father, let alone a county order, even if the prefect comes, the old man may not see him."

But now it's different, the world is in chaos, everything has been broken, the court won't say it, the current Shaanxi Hongguang court, and the former court is completely different, Dad's face doesn't work at all, followed by the current Jiangxi, on the surface, it seems that Jin Shengheng is the most powerful, and with the support of our local wang clan, it is to maintain the stability on the surface, but recently, with the entry of Gao Jie, the original stability of Jiangxi has been broken, think about it, if there is no one behind Gao Jie, Will he not gain a firm foothold, he will recruit troops and buy horses, and now it has developed to the point of directly attacking the territory, which indicates that Jiangxi will soon be in chaos, in this case, if our Wu family is still as arrogant as before, then I am afraid that it will be a very tragic end to us, not to mention the family business accumulated over the generations, whether our father and son can survive is still unknown. ”

After listening to Wu Shourong's explanation, Wu Yingqiu was immediately stunned, he never thought that the family that usually looked powerful and could cover the sky with one hand would now become so fragile that it would even collapse at any time.

Seeing the stunned Wu Yingqiu, Wu Shourong didn't say much except for a sigh, at this time, he could only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven, after all, even the Daming Dynasty, which had been inherited for more than two hundred years, almost changed hands, not to mention his small family.

Outside Panyang County, in Gao Jie's large army camp, a general asked, "How about it, did they open the door and surrender, our time is very precious, if we can't take Panyang County in a short time, I'm afraid the next task will be delayed, and when the time comes, it may affect the plans of the adults." ”

"Returning to the general, our people have not yet received the news from the city, judging from the news that the spies came to report, they are probably going to resist to the end, therefore, is the lord ordered, we will start attacking now, as long as the lord gives an order, the humble guarantee, two hours to know that Panyang County will be handed over to the adult." Another general stepped forward to ask for battle.

Looking at the generals who invited the battle, the general who originally opened his head shook his head and said, "I'm still waiting, my lord said, our action this time is mainly to occupy territory, try to do as little as possible, otherwise, the war will be difficult to clean up, and we can't make trouble for the adults." ”
