Chapter 317: Wrapping Up Door

After a day and a night of fear, the residents of Tianjin Acropolis woke up in the morning and experienced another shock.

No matter what happened, the sky didn't fall, there was still food at home, and breakfast still had to be eaten, but when the meal was calculated, someone slammed the door hard.

"Open the door, Jinyiwei is here to buy food!!"

Yesterday from the morning, everyone also lay on the crack of the door to watch, first the bow incense noisy past, then the ruffians in the city smashed and looted, and finally the army of Jinyi Wei entered the city.

Some people saw the Jinyi guard directly killing the scoundrels on the street, and some people didn't see it, as for the scene of the soldiers besieging the rebellious people of the Chuantou Xiang Brigade, most people didn't see it.

However, it became quiet from the afternoon, and then the brocade guards patrolled around with weapons, and everyone knew who would win or lose.

There was chaos in the city, the thieves washed it once, and the officers and soldiers had to wash it again.

They were also afraid that their brains were confused, and if they really rushed in and looted, the door would be knocked open, and they would have to bang on the door.

Fear is afraid, don't open the door is not dare, trembling open the door, it turned out that he really came to buy food, the silver money given by Jinyiwei is one or two percent higher than the market price, and it is given in cash.

Buying from house to house, the breakfast of the residents in the city was almost bought up, and although the brocade guards did not have smiling faces, they stood at the door and bought and sold with cash, and never entered the door.

Such behavior has made the hearts of the people in the city quickly settle down, and if there is such an behavior, it means that Jinyiwei has controlled the situation, and there is no longer chaos in the city.

These thousands of meals provided the food for the Jinyi guards, and as for those incense people, at most they were given saliva to drink, and they were hungry and had no physical strength.

The gates, which had been closed for a whole day, were finally opened, and the upper bodies were tied, and the people were connected by ropes, and the captives of incense poured out of the city.

The merchants and residents on both sides of the canal were worried for a day, and the proprietors and shopkeepers of each house packed up the fine and soft together, and some people even went directly to the countryside, or went to the river to take a boat, leaving a man to watch the scenery.

Many ships come to Tianjin Wei from afar, in order to unload or buy goods, but there are no shops on the wharf, everyone goes to avoid the trouble, they can't load and unload the goods, but they can't go back like this, then they will lose a lot, the more ships accumulate more and more, and the boats and passenger ships that come and go can't go north and south, and the more blocked, the more powerful.

All this chaos began to disappear when the Jinyi Wei pressed the incense people out of the city, the closed doors were opened, the remaining ones hurriedly went to inform the proprietor shopkeeper, and the messengers of the Jinyi Wei also began to collect taxes on the canal for inspection.

Yesterday, the incense people who entered the city and were still violent, looked gray today, as if they were being tied up and taken out of the city like cattle and horses, and more than 6,000 people walked slowly on the official road, and it took a long time.

Everyone inside and outside the city knew the fate of these people, and they were in awe of Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu, especially Wang Tong, the lord of Qianhu.

There were also family members of the incense who cried and shouted to keep up, but they were all beaten and driven away by the escorted Jinyi guards, and their own men and sons were among the captives, why didn't the relatives and relatives worry, crying and keeping up, but as long as they didn't get too close, the soldiers of the Jinyi guards didn't bother to pay attention.

After tossing and turning all morning, at lunchtime, several large truckloads of cakes were brought from the city, as well as hot soup in large wooden barrels.

The captives of the bow incense were all taken to the open space on the bank of the Hai River, and formed a scattered square formation, and the soldiers gathered in a circle.

The incense people were hungry for a day and a night, that is, they got up in the morning and drank some water, at this time they were all hungry, one by one the cakes were handed down, several people and a dozen people shared a soup bowl, and everyone was gobbling it up.

But after eating a few bites, his stomach was padded, and looking at the soldiers around him, someone suddenly thought, could this be the last meal for everyone to eat before going on the road, the more I thought about it, the more likely it was, and I was terrified when I ate.

In front of the captive, I don't know where I found a few wooden tables and put them together, and several people who looked like generals stood on them, put their hands in the shape of a trumpet in front of their mouths, and shouted loudly:

"You gather a crowd to make trouble, this is a great crime of rebellion, it is a capital crime, you should be beheaded!!"

More than 6,000 people gathered together, and it was also a large place, and the shouting on the wooden table might not be heard by others, but the soldiers surrounding it had already been instructed, and after shouting above, they all shouted in unison below:

"Gather a crowd to make trouble, rebel, and be beheaded for capital crimes!!"

Thousands of people shouted in unison, and this was heard very clearly, and the soldiers did not finish speaking, the spears in their hands were flattened, and the swords were unsheathed.

The cold shining blade circled around, and said that he was a capital crime, and under the murderous atmosphere, everyone collapsed, and now this look, if you want to run away, it is estimated that the soldiers will come in and kill people, no wonder you have to lead to this deserted place on the bank of the Hai River, no wonder you have to give food first.

The people inside were crying, their wives and children, old and young, also came with nearly two thousand, not far away, they naturally heard clearly, and they were all crying, and some people cried forward, but the soldiers did not use swords and spears, but the sticks and whips were not vegetarians, and they were beaten with a head and face, and they were also beaten back.

"All ready!!"

As the general shouted, the flag began to wave, the soldiers took a step forward, the cry inside and outside became louder, and the killing was at hand, and it was at this time that several horses galloped and immediately a man shouted loudly:

"Lord Wang has an order, stop!! ~~~”

In a blink of an eye, he came to the front, and shouted that the man got off the horse, but he fell because of panic, and no one laughed at his embarrassment, and some people in front of him had already recognized who it was, isn't this Pan Ming!

Pan Ming stumbled to the side of the wooden platform and shouted below:

"Brothers, we committed a big crime yesterday, and we should have been killed, but Lord Wang's grace ......."

************

There is no deviation from the plan, and in line with this, under the command of Yu Dayou, the outside of the city was also cleaned up, and the families and remnants of the incense people on the bow of the boat were swept out.

After five years of work, the family members were responsible for cooking and doing chores to earn flowers, and only the old and weak were supported by the two warehouses under Wang Tong's name, coercing and luring, and more than 6,000 boats and their families accepted Wang Tong's conditions.

Because of the participation of these people, the construction on the bank of the Haihe River was rapidly accelerated, and the roads and shops were gradually formed, and the bank of the Haihe River became more and more like a golden treasure.

The news spreads, no one will let go of this opportunity to make a fortune, and more and more people will rush here.

Because he has such an organized labor force in his hands, Wang Tong's subsequent projects are very efficient, the manpower is sufficient, the money keeps up, there is no obstacle, and everything is naturally convenient.

But that's all for later.

***********

The gates were wide open in the early morning, one of which was of course used by captives to walk the bow incense, and the other three were for people to enter and exit.

Each city gate is guarded by a hundred brocade guards, and there are two bosses there, if you want not to die, then obediently recognize people, and there is nothing that no one does not agree.

Yesterday it was not swept away, and today it is said that those who want to take advantage of the chaos to get out of the city have been found out a lot, but the incense crowd is like a chaotic people, and this naturally has to be arrested on the street. But there are also a few messengers from the yamen who are hurrying out of the city, and this cannot be stopped.

The guards at the city gate went to the drum tower at any time to inform Wang Tong of the various conditions of the city gate, the messenger of the Qing military hall to Hejian Mansion, the soldier Beidao and the grain supervisor went to the Beijing Division, and the Hubu Transit Division outside the city went to the fast horse of the Beijing Division, and the soldiers hurriedly went to report it.

But it also happened that when the messenger went out, several officials from the opposite side came to the door.

After a few soft and hard things, the soldier Panda and the grain eunuch Wan Dao never came to the door, Wang Tong is a high-flying man, and he has a backer, what are you going to do.

Today, it is a little different, Wang Tong is in the house to read Yang Sichen's song, he himself also has a letter to send to Jingshi, it is a secret letter written by himself, and he has already set off last night.

"Master, Master Pan of the Soldier Beidao, the Father-in-law of the Grain Supervisor asks to see you."

Someone announced, and before Wang Tong could say a word of invitation, Panda walked in angrily, he was wearing an official uniform, and he was dressed very formally.

It was extremely rude to walk in by himself without waiting for the servants to invite him, and civil officials such as Panda paid the most attention, but today they completely ignored it.

"Wang Qianhu, Bai said that the city gate is closed, this official is responsible for guarding the imperial transport, and he has important things to go out of the city, why did the secretary who came to deliver the word be broken by you, as an official of the court, you acted like a bandit, ignoring the laws and regulations of the court, this official is going to impeach you!!"

"Lord Wang, Gonggong Feng and Gonggong Zhang are all reasonable people, you thousands of soldiers and horses entered the city in a hurry, beating and killing, the chaos inside and outside the city became like that, the river was blocked for almost five miles, delaying the grain into Beijing, what a sin this is, our family will also sue you, see who the palace is heading towards!"

Pan Da's voice was full of emotion, Wan Dao Yin and Yang were weird, Wang Tong originally got up to greet him, and after listening to the first sentence, he turned around and did it on the chair, Pan Daqi's beard trembled, and he said angrily:

"Shameless and rude, this official is a fourth-grade, you are just a fifth-grade military attaché, why don't you worship when you see this official, but you are so arrogant, you are reckless, and you are so undignified, don't you know that the official law is like a furnace, and it can't tolerate any evil villain......"

Hearing this, Wang Tong didn't get up, just sat there and replied with a sneer:

"You want to participate in the official, what a coincidence, the official also wants to participate in you, the people enter the city, loot and make noise, disturb the people, as an official of the court, you are a foreign court, but you don't care, you look at it coldly, and you don't think you are the official of the Ming Dynasty, or, the two adults have a good relationship with the bow incense, can't you bear to care!?"
