Chapter 310: One Ring After One Ring
It's so urgent outside, but Wang Tong is still eating for a long time, what the hell is going on.
Wang Tong took a sip of the tea bowl next to the table, picked up a cloth towel to wipe his mouth, and stood up.
Yang Sichen found out that Wang Tong was wearing an iron leaf armor, which turned out to be a military uniform, Wang Tong picked up the embroidered spring knife leaning on the side and walked outside.
Yang and Cai, who rushed over, couldn't react a little, and seeing Wang Tong walking over with a knife, Yang Sichen didn't care about the difference between dignity and inferiority, and grabbed Wang Tong.
"Lord Wang, what are you going to do here!?"
Wang Tong raised the knife in his hand and said with a smile:
"Naturally, I went out to quell the chaos."
What he said here was normal, but Yang Sichen and Cai Nan were trembling, but this time it was Cai Nan who opened his mouth first, and the young eunuch said sharply:
"Lord Wang, you can only persuade, you can only appease, you must not use the sword!"
"Lord Wang, so many people gathered, as soon as the handle of the knife moved, there will be chaos, when the time comes, the princes of the court and the central government will not be indiscriminate, first charge Lord Wang with indiscriminate killing, and then the official will attack your lord again, you are harsh and looting, forcing the people to rebel, the above said so, the people below will naturally say so, and when the time comes, there will be no argument.......
"Lord Wang, this side of the Drum Tower is the ....... in the city."
Yang Sichen and Cai Nan, you say a word, but when it comes to this, Wang Tong interjects and says:
"The soldiers and horses that broke up with the Tianjin staff general should close the city gate when they saw these people coming, from all over the city gate to the drum tower, each yamen should know before the official, but there was no reaction at all, so it seems that even if it is questioned from above, no one will testify for the official, I'm afraid that the unanimous voice will say that the official has done too much, isn't it!?"
was asked by Wang Tong like this, Yang and Cai were both stunned, it seems that this little adult understands very well, Wang Tong said to Yang Sichen with a smile:
"Mr. Yang, you said that this official holds military power and financial power, and if you don't clarify your rights and responsibilities, it will definitely attract suspicion, right?"
Yang Sichen was stunned by this rhetorical question, Wang Tong's smile had turned into a sneer, and he said:
"Mr. Yang, what you said makes sense, this official is alone, you have to be careful in everything, if you are self-disciplined everywhere and have a high reputation, wouldn't you want to be said to buy people's hearts."
After saying that, Yang Sichen and Cai Nan were speechless, Wang Tong strode out, raised the knife in his hand when he came to the door, and said with a smile:
"You don't have to worry, I already knew about this mess a few days ago."
Since this morning, Yang Sichen and Cai Nan have been too surprised, but after hearing this, they couldn't help but ask:
"Why don't you deal with it early!"
"Deal with it early, you can only do it with those few leaders, it's better to let these unhappy people show their heads and clean up at once!!"
Li Hutou, who was wearing full armor, was standing and waiting in the courtyard with a spear, watching Wang Tong come out, and hurriedly gave a military salute, Wang Tong nodded, and said loudly:
"Tiger head, go!"
Li Hutou readily agreed, and then followed, and frightened cries could be heard from time to time in Wang Tong's mansion, but the pressure was very low, and the female dependents and the old and weak were in the innermost mansion.
However, the cry was quickly drowned out by a dense thud, like the sound of gongs and drums, and the bricks and stones thrown from outside the courtyard seemed to be raindrops, and the soldiers guarding the mansion wanted to move to the wall, so they had to cover it with a few large shields and slowly move forward.
Wang Tong walked to the side of the house where Erjin entered, and the ground was a mess, with brick and stone fragments everywhere, and the outside was still being thrown in.
The soldiers of the first battalion leaned against the wall and did not dare to look up, but the position where Wang Tong stood was safe, and he opened his mouth and shouted:
"Go to the house and wave the flag!!"
A soldier loudly agreed, set up a ladder directly on the edge of the house inside, climbed up with a red flag, stood on the roof of the house and began to wave the flag.
"Shoot a round of headless arrows around!!"
Wang Tong gave another order, and several soldiers guarding him ran around, and at the same time issued orders loudly, and behind each wall, someone opened his bow and arrows, took an elevation angle, and shot the arrows out with a whoosh.
The crowd outside got closer and closer, and the density of the bricks and stones flying out was much smaller than just now, because the things that could be picked up on the street had been picked up clean, and some people threw them at a distance, and the things smashed on the wall, and the white ash on the wall was smashed piece by piece, and the wall was mottled and ugly.
Tossed so much, Wang Tong's big house didn't react at all, the people outside stopped smartly, and the unsmart people thought that Wang Tong was afraid, the people who were instigated, what kind of brains did they have, the momentum outside was even more arrogant, and some people were already thinking about knocking down the walls of whose house and getting some bricks down.
At the moment when the atmosphere was deadlocked, something flew out of the wall, and the force of the bow was not very large, and it was an elevation angle, and the bow and arrow drew a large arc in mid-air.
The arrow flies slowly in mid-air, and it takes some time to fall, and the people outside can also see it clearly and react.
"Bow and arrow, dog officer shoot!!"
Below screamed, estimating that he was in the place where the arrow fell, he turned his head and ran backwards, and the position in the front was in front of him, thinking that there was no cover in front of him, and the next wave was to shoot himself, and he also hurriedly ran backwards.
Thousands of people blocked several streets, and there were idlers watching the excitement behind them, almost people next to each other, running backwards, the fast and slow reactions were blocked together, at this time, who could still care about what righteousness, what to survive, beating and scolding each other, crowded.
In the blink of an eye, a large area had already flashed around Wang Tong's mansion, but there were also people who didn't have time to run, and were shot by arrows falling from the sky, and screamed there.
However, the person who was shot immediately noticed that something was wrong, and someone shouted loudly with the shaft of the arrow:
"This arrow has no arrow, this arrow has no arrow!"
One person shouted, and the rest of the panicked ones also picked it up on the ground to check, and sure enough, there were no arrows on the shafts of the arrows, and such arrows would hurt at most if they hit the body, and what could they do.
This discovery boosted the morale of the people gathered outside, and they didn't know who shouted and hissed:
"This dog official is afraid, this dog official knows that he is afraid, let's go up and reason!!"
The incense crowd that had just withdrawn far away gathered again and began to move forward.
*********
Although the courtyards of several garrisons in Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu have been closed, there have been people on the roofs since the morning, staring at the direction of Wang Tong's mansion.
When he saw the red flag waving, he immediately shouted below.
The gates of the three courtyards that had been prepared long ago were immediately opened, and the three battalions rushed out in three ways, and there were dozens of horse teams in one of the courtyards.
This step was divided into four roads, but instead of rushing in the direction of the drum tower in the city, but rushing towards the city gate, this action was so strange that even the spies who were staring at these courtyards were confused.
When he saw the captain of the bow incense entering the city, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate dodged, ignored them, and waited for people to pass, but they were there as if nothing had happened.
Seeing the soldiers and horses suddenly rushing out of the city, at this time, the soldiers guarding the city gate were loyal, and each drew out their weapons to be on guard, and the general headed by the east gate shouted and asked:
"In broad daylight, what are you going to do with the sword soldiers!!"
The color is fierce, shouting loudly, but looking at the opponent's spears and knives, they have surrounded themselves, the four city gates add up to only two hundred people, and the Jinyi guards have arranged two hundred people at each city gate, and the well-armed ones are even better, looking at the appearance of the other party, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate are three points timid.
He shouted and asked loudly, the battalion officer of the Jinyi guard was not ambiguous, he stepped forward and was a slap in the face, the one who was always pumped was annoyed and ashamed, and as soon as he put his hand on the hilt of the knife, he was chased by the battalion officer a few steps, and he kicked it in the stomach, and knocked it directly to the ground, he was so arrogant, the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate did not dare to act rashly.
"Dismount their weapons, bundle them up and throw them outside the city, and those who resist will be killed!!"
The soldiers below suddenly agreed, and immediately forced over, and the officers and soldiers guarding the door heard the words "kill and kill" all of them were stupid, if they really did the other party's posture, how could they live, and they were all soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, why bother to hurt the harmony, under the coercion of the blade, each honestly handed over the weapon.
After the guards guarding the city gate were replaced by brocade guards, some people immediately stood in the city with red flags.
From the soldiers and horses of the three courtyards rushing out to controlling the city gate, it took less than a pillar of incense, and the dozens of cavalry took it quickly.
Six more cavalrymen came out of the dozens of cavalry, divided into three roads, and went to the other three city gates, and when they saw the people waving the red flag, the cavalry did not stop their horses, and ran directly towards the outside of the city.
**********
Today, the people on the wharf are panicking, the passing ships have blocked the river for three miles, and no one dares to unload the goods, for fear that the goods will be unloaded and they will lose their money.
The shops on the wharf are also closed, and the chaotic situation of the Mahu in the past is still circulating. The shopkeeper and the guys in the store were all trembling and looking out through the crack of the door, for fear of being affected.
Many people are thinking in their hearts, that bow incense is rampant and blackmailing is not a good thing, don't let this group of bastards come back.
But seeing so many people pouring into the city, everyone was worried in their hearts, the matter was big, Wang Qianhu couldn't stand it, the eunuch who was in charge of grain twelve years ago was not too ruthless, thousands of people went into the city to make trouble, and in the end the eunuch was recalled to the capital to ask for guilt, and completely collapsed.
Everyone thought about it for a while, and the heart was chaotic in the city, and the outside of the city was clean, so they took advantage of this gap to go to the countryside to take refuge, and just opened the door, but saw a large crowd of people coming on the side of the road, and they shrank back in a panic.
When the bow incense passed just now, there was a commotion, but this time there was no movement except for the sound of neat footsteps.
Trembling, leaning on the crack in the door and looking out.
It's the people of Tianjin Jinyiwei, and the brigade of Tianjin Jinyiwei has entered the city!!
