Chapter 140: The Whole City Shakes

Jinling City North Jinchuan Gate Inner Street.

The swarthy and tall coolie grabbed the young hawker who was about to follow the procession to watch the bustle: "Li Xiaolang, you have been studying in a private school for a few years, you can tell my uncle again, look at that, what do the big white characters on the black cloth held high by the six people who are walking over mean?" ”

"What's the big word?"

Li Xiaolang hurriedly turned his head, and was startled when he saw it clearly: "My mother! Originally, seeing so many people entering the city must not have much business, but I want to take a good look at the excitement today...... No, no, no! I have to go back to my younger siblings and keep them out of the streets. ”

"Those big masters of the Donglin Party are not so easy to get along with, they dare to kill the generals in front of the emperor in the court and bite off a few bites of meat, this matter will definitely suffer today, I don't know what will happen......"

"Don't be in a hurry! You haven't told me what you're writing yet! ”

Li Jiaxiaolang's voice trembled: "It reads 'The national disaster is the head of the defense of loyalty and treachery, and the disaster of the country and the people of the Donglin Party', oh my God!" I've got to go back, I'm afraid there's going to be chaos in the city soon......"

In the blink of an eye, the thousands of people who gathered in Jinchuan Gate to watch the excitement scared away most of them. The procession still entered the city in a steady stream, and as far as the eye could see, the banners were like a forest, and the momentum was like a rainbow, like a long dragon meandering and swimming, stretching endlessly, and what was strange was that the officers and soldiers at the city gate were still dancing to see the excitement, and they did not look anxious at all.

In the main hall of Yingtianfu, more than ten officials from two counties and one government had just gathered, and they were about to discuss how to punish the lawless Ziyang Guan and the wild Taoist Zhu Daolin under the auspices of the governor Xu Shilin.

Tens of thousands of craftsmen from several major workshops in Hushan Manor, Taoist priests and hired farmers from Ziyang Temple suddenly gathered, and they held high their flags. A steady stream of people poured into the city, and now they have reached the Taiping Bridge! ”

The officials in the hall were shocked, and Yin Ye Chengzhang, who rushed to Jinling from the Yamen of Suzhou Governor yesterday, stepped forward and asked loudly: "Can the rioters carry knives, guns, and sticks?" ”

"I didn't bring it, but I held high all kinds of flags, and it was written, 'The principles of heaven are clear and undeniable.' Don't make traitors and evils', 'Severely punish the officials and officials who harm the people', 'Tens of thousands of homeless people are waiting to be fed', 'Two counties and one government sing and dance to promote peace', 'The national disaster is the head of the argument for loyalty and treachery, and the country and the people of Donglin Party' and other heart-wrenching words, all the way to the end, causing all the people in the city to watch, shameless people cheering loudly, all kinds of people taking advantage of the chaos to make noise, the number of people gathered more and more, no less than 20,000 people! It seems that he is coming for me to respond to the Tianfu Ya! The old and thin servant knelt on the ground and reported in a hoarse voice.

The officials were in an uproar. Some were frightened, some were angry, and it was not the Shangyuan County Commander and others of the Donglin Party who quietly got together, thinking about how to protect themselves and escape from the right and wrong place of Yingtianfu as soon as possible.

Xu Shilin, who has always been personable and pampered, was already as white as paper at this time, only to feel that his ears were roaring and his heartbeat was stopped. Sluggish and motionless on the spot.

Donglin Party cadres Ying Tianfu Yin Ye Chengzhang and Tongzhi Shi Xueguang were anxious, and hurriedly went up to pull hands and push backs, and eagerly asked how to deal with it?

"It's the other way around, it's the other way ......"

Xu Shilin, a famous man from Donglin, was completely frightened. I can't say anything except the word "reversed".

Ye Chengzhang was so anxious that he shouted: "Brother Baomo (Xu Shilin), you have an idea!" Otherwise, it will be too late! This is a major civil upheaval that has never been seen in the more than 200 years since the founding of this dynasty, and if we are besieged by tens of thousands of Diao people, shouting accusations and wanton insults, it will not only shake Jiangnan in one day. I'm afraid I'll hear it in no time! ”

Xu Shilin finally woke up suddenly, pulled Shi Xueguang over, and told in a trembling voice: "You, you immediately rush to the Sixth Department, and quickly ask Lord Zheng of the Ministry of Households, Lord Qian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Zhai of the Ministry of War to transfer troops to suppress it, go quickly, go quickly!" ”

Shi Xueguang, who was so frightened by Zhu Daolin yesterday that he collapsed and urinated on the spot, hurriedly agreed. Stumbled out of the main hall.

Yang Wencong, who is good at painting landscapes, thought about it, strode forward, and asked to return to the county government to mobilize the officials to come to guard, and the Shangyuan county order immediately followed and echoed, Xu Shilin, who had no idea, nodded frequently, and ordered to go and go back quickly, and the two county orders immediately resigned and left, and they could slip away before tens of thousands of people surrounded the Ying Tianfu Ya.

At ten o'clock in the morning, more than 13,000 Ziyangguan hired peasants and apprentices of the craftsmen of Hushan Manor completely surrounded the Yingtianfu Ya, they were tightly organized and excited, holding high large slogans with angry protests, shouting in unison the names of Governor Xu Shilin and Fu Yin Ye Chengzhang, asking them to stand up and give a clear explanation, questioning why Yingtianfu Ya and Jiangning and Shangyuan counties launched hundreds of yamen armed with knives and guns for no reason, rushed into their workshops and beat innocent workers and people.

The gate of the government had already been closed tightly at this time.

Tens of thousands of Jinling people continue to gather at the Huitong Bridge where the Ying Tianfu Ya is located, and the black pressure blocks all the streets and alleys within a radius of five miles, and the deafening noise is higher than the wave.

It was only at this time that the 2,000 officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the 300 cavalry of Yulinwei under the command of Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong slowly arrived from all directions, occupying all the transportation hubs, protecting the important money villages and academies, and then stood in place and silently watched and stopped moving.

The people of Nanjing, who had retreated for fear of the repression triggering mass riots, soon came to their senses, and many immediately joined the tour. Lines. Wei's team, along with the craftsmen and hired farmers of Ziyangguan, chanted slogans to denounce the Donglin Party and corrupt officials, and vented their long-suppressed grievances and anger.

Located outside the Hongwu Gate of the Imperial City, Nanjing No. 6 is already a chicken flying and a dog jumping at this moment.

Dozens of Donglin Party celebrities, such as Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Shisheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhai Fengchong, the right waiter of the Ministry of War, were like ants on a hot pot, exclaiming and scolding into a mess.

Although they knew that there must be a powerful force behind the emergency, they still had to urgently dispatch batches of officials to rush to the capital of the five armies and the five cities to ask for help, and asked Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, who held military power, and Zhang Gongwei, the Marquis of Longping, to immediately mobilize the army to carry out bomb pressure, restore order inside and outside Jinling as soon as possible, and minimize the bad impact caused by this sudden civil uprising.

However, Zheng Sanjun and other Donglin Party members were destined to suffer a painful ordeal.

The rest of the officials of the various ministries were gloating and waiting to see the jokes of the Donglin Party, and several important officials who had been suppressed and excluded by the Donglin Party for a long time avoided one after another, returned to their offices to prepare pen and ink, wrote and wrote the shocking events that had happened and submitted them to the court, and informed their relatives and friends.
