"My lord, it's not good, there are Japanese robbers who have fled to Yangzhou City!"

The report of the official was like a thunderclap that shook the few people who were discussing in the room to the fullest, and the faces of the three people, including Sun Zhili, suddenly turned as pale as snow.

The Ukou generally referred to maritime invaders who were based on the Korean Peninsula and the coast of Chinese mainland between the 13th and 16th centuries. It was once classified as a pirate or the like, but in reality it was not a ship that plundered it, but a land-based city. The Jiajing period lasted for 40 years from the Longqing and Wanli periods, which was the most harmful period for the Ming Dynasty. In this stage, the coastal civilians who were "forced to be greedy and cold and trapped in hunger and cold" from among the thieves were really the main body of the Japanese pirates, and one of the causes of hunger, cold and poverty was the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy of "not allowing people to go to the sea".

Although after the famous general Qi Jiguang and many other generals spared no effort to strike, the southeast coast of the Japanese forces were eliminated a lot, but the problem of the Japanese invaders was not effectively solved until the last years of Chongzhen, it was like a tumor that consumed the Ming Dynasty, and it was not until the early Qing Dynasty that the power of the Ming Dynasty began to disappear.

However, in the past, the objects of the invasion of the Japanese invaded were all along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang, and they had never been to the depth of more than 300 miles to plunder a city like Yangzhou close to Nanjing.

At this time, as soon as the three of them heard the attack of the Japanese invaders, they couldn't help but fly out of the sky for a while, Gu Shou sat down on the chair with his buttocks, and muttered to himself: "It's over, it's over!" The Japanese are coming, and Yangzhou City is going to be finished. ”

At this time, only a crisp sound of "pop" was heard, Sun Zhili raised his hand and gave Gu Shou is slap in the face, and reprimanded angrily, "Bastard, what are you panicking about, the Japanese have not entered the city yet, what they have to do now is to close the four gates, send someone to Jinshanwei for help, and then summon Qingzhuang to the city wall."

Sun Zhili is worthy of being a person who has been a secretary of the military department, and his psychological quality is much better than that of Gu Shou and Sun Xiyi.

"Yes, yes" Gu Shou nodded hurriedly, trying to stabilize his still trembling body, and asked the official in a trembling voice: "Is the city gate closed?" ”

The official reported: "Returning to the words of the lord, the east, south and west gates have been closed, but the north gate is still closed by the influx of people. ”

"Bastard!"

Gu Shou was angry, pointed at the official and scolded: "What does the city gate official at the north gate do to eat, he hasn't closed the city gate yet, if he lets the Japanese take the opportunity to rush into Chenglai, can he afford it!" Go at once, and order him to close the gates immediately, or the official will cut off his dog's head!" Just go! ”

Looking at the official who crawled out with a rolling belt, Gu Shou gritted his teeth and said to Sun Zhili: "Teacher, you are the most respected in Yangzhou City now, now you and your students will go up to the city wall to watch the enemy's situation!" ”

Before Sun Zhili could say anything, Sun Xiyi on the side shouted anxiously: "Father, don't go up to the city wall, those widows kill people without blinking, and the city wall of Yangzhou may not be able to resist the widows, you better go back to the house with the child to hide!" ”

"Bastard!" Sun Zhili angrily pointed at Sun Xiyi and scolded angrily: "What do you little brute know, if we let the Japanese invade the city, we won't be able to survive!" Now go up to the wall with your father. ”

Sun Xiyi's ugliness couldn't even stand Gu Shou, who was also scared on the side, and he didn't even understand the truth that there would be no eggs under the nest, no wonder he couldn't even get a reputation when he was so big.

"Teacher, let's go up to the city wall now!" Ignoring Sun Xiyi, who was still trembling, Gu Shou took a few deep breaths, suppressed the panic in his heart, and walked out.

When they went up to the wall of the north gate, they found that the north gate was closed, and that there were many soldiers gathered on the wall, and they all looked out with frightened eyes, as if something terrible was in the distance.

Gu Shou almost got angry when he saw this situation, and strode up to a soldier who was cowering in the corner, stretched out his hand and gave him an ear scraper, "You waste, you are scared like this before the Japanese invaders come, if you really come, how can you resist the enemy, cheer up the officials, if the Japanese invaders come, immediately release the arrows!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers who were awakened hurriedly stood in front of the city wall, holding on to the battlements and looking out.

At this time, a chubby, wearing a six-grade official robe trotted all the way over, he was still sweating in the cold, Gu Shou immediately asked as soon as he saw him: "Zhao Shoubei, how many soldiers are there in the city now, you should quickly prepare the stone and rolling wood now, and when the Japanese invaders come, they must be repelled." ”

This official is Zhao Qian, the soldier and horse garrison of Yangzhou City, I saw him wipe the sweat on his forehead and said bitterly: "My lord, there are only less than a thousand soldiers here, but we have to defend four city gates. ”

"What! In the huge city, you don't even have rocks and rolling logs, what are you doing with this soldier and horse garrison? Sun Zhili on the side only felt dizzy.

In the face of the prefect's scolding, the soldier and horse garrison behaved very aggrieved, and said with a heartfelt voice: "My lord, this can't be blamed for the humble position, the last humble position told you to ask for a sum of silver to prepare to consolidate the city wall and stone rolling wood, but you gave it back, without the silver humble position is also a good woman is difficult to cook without rice!" ”

"Ugh!" Listening to the words of the soldiers and horses, Gu Shou was dumbfounded for a while. Since he took office for three years, he has never maintained the city wall of Yangzhou, and there are no things like rolling wood and stones, but this kind of thing is not only him, the previous prefects are like this, in their opinion, Yangzhou is backed by Nanjing, who would eat a leopard and dare to come here to tease the tiger's whiskers, but now someone is coming, and now Gu Shou regrets it.

Sun Zhili, who was still on the side, was more calm, and he asked Zhao Qian: "Zhao Shoubei, have those people been mobilized?" ”

Zhao Qian hurriedly replied: "Back to the words of the adults, more than 1,000 people have been mobilized by the lowly position, and they are now coming." ”

"More than a thousand people? That's too little! Although Sun Zhili didn't know about soldiers, he also knew that more than 1,000 people could only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for the huge Yangzhou City.

"My lord, this is already the most popular and powerful people who have made up the most of their humble functions. I don't dare to use the lowly position, for fear of provoking the people's uprising, and now the lowly position is really unable to take the army! ”

At this time, Sun Xiyi, who was on the side, suddenly shouted: "Father, Lord Gu, who said that we have no soldiers, there are still soldiers in Yangzhou City!" ”

"Where are the soldiers!" As soon as Sun Xiyi spoke, several eyes around him suddenly shot into his face.

"Little brute, Hugh is talking nonsense, where are there soldiers in Yangzhou City." At first, Sun Zhili thought that his son was overstimulated and began to talk nonsense.

At this time, Sun Xiyi Dao said to Sun Zhili without fear: "Father, Lord Gu, have you forgotten that there are still hundreds of soldiers in the Kong family!" ”

As soon as Sun Xiyi's words came out, Gu Shou, who suddenly came to his senses, immediately slapped his thigh hard and shouted, "That's right! How could I not have thought of it! Didn't that Pang Baihu from Shandong still bring hundreds of soldiers! ”

"Then what are you waiting for, quickly send someone to order him to bring someone over!" Sun Zhili didn't care about the fact that he was about to ask for someone's life just now, and hurriedly shouted at Gu Shou in a commanding tone.

"Yes, the lowly will send someone there immediately." Gu Shou was very kind and sent two officials to the Confucian Mansion immediately

Thanks to a sword fluttering 123, God is not **, toms2000 for the reward!
