These days, Datong Fucheng has been in a semi-blockade state, and it is not allowed to enter but not leave.

After a long time, the people gradually became dissatisfied with this move.

Some people originally came to Fucheng to visit their relatives, but now they want to go home but can't return, and some are hawkers who come to Fucheng to do business, relying on walking around the prefectures and counties, selling goods to earn some difference in price, and are not allowed to go out of the city to make a living.

Especially after seeing the caravans of large families in the city entering and leaving the city gate unimpeded, this dissatisfaction climbed to the peak and vented out.

There have always been two sides to things, and in the eyes of others, these caravans symbolized the privileges of the gentry and felt unfair.

In fact, these caravans were led by Sun Xuanhuai, and on the orders of Chongzhen, they went to nearby states and counties to purchase materials in large quantities, so as to ensure sufficient supplies in the later stage of the war as much as possible.

Today, as if instructed by someone, a large number of foreign civilians gathered at the south gate and north gate of the city at the same time, clamoring to leave the city.

The horses were arranged early in the road to block the crowd, and the soldiers stood in a line behind the horses with spears, without the slightest intention of getting out of the way.

"Why are they allowed to come out, but not us?"

"I want to see Long Live Lord! Find a long live lord to reason! ”

"Yes, see Long Live Lord!"

……

Those who shouted to see the emperor, cursed the soldiers with foul language, and drooled, and the more the guards ignored them, the more fierce the reaction in the crowd became, and some people tried to break away from the horses and force their way through the door.

Seeing this, the soldiers with guns raised their spears in both hands and marched forward in formation, trying to force the crowd back, but soldiers with bows and crossbows rushed to support the city, and the momentum of the civilians rushing through the pass slowed down a little.

The two sides did not give in to each other and confronted each other.

"Mr. Liu Daqian, you can give the order, let the brothers slaughter those leaders first."

"You say I don't want to? If you don't open your mouth, I dare, I'll stare people to death first, and wait for the adults to give the order. ”

"We're all tied up now, I don't know what that person thinks."

Mr. Qian, surnamed Liu, nodded, and this sentence poked into his heart, since the emperor Lao'er appeared, the army has changed.

It's not allowed, that's not okay, how big is it to kill a few people in the past? Now it's the turn of these grass people to curse their whole family in front of them, and they are not allowed to do it, which is really aggrieved.

"It's useless to tinker with bells and whistles all day long, run laps, run a ball lap, teh!"

Mr. Qian, surnamed Liu, spat yellow phlegm on the ground and wiped it vigorously with his feet.

The reason why Chongzhen ordered the closure of the city was because of the temporary blockade of the spread of news, he was a sweet spot for all forces, and once the traces were exposed, there would be no respite.

Second, Xuanda is Xuanfu Town, Datong Town and said, the geographical location of the two towns is special, and the northern Mongolian departments are the northwest gateway, and it is very likely that there are hidden piles of prisoners or thieves in the city.

Therefore, Chongzhen chose to disclose his identity in the city and block the city gate, if there is an enemy hidden stake in the city, he will gradually be unable to sit still, and try to pass this important news to the outside.

Among the things that Chongzhen explained to Wang Chengen, one of them was that he selected and cultivated suitable people in the city and established the Imperial Investigation Department to restore the duties of "patrolling, investigating, arresting, and arresting" to which Jinyi Wei belonged in the past, and it was called a military intelligence espionage agency in later generations.

Since it was the early stage of the initial creation, of course, military intelligence collection could not be counted on, and for the time being, it still relied on such sentinels who did not collect at night.

At present, the main work of the Imperial Investigation Division is to grasp all the "abnormal" things in the city, in the words that Wang Chengen explained to the secret agents of the Imperial Investigation Division, Jiang Hao has to know the real number several times he has been to the thatched house today.

Wang Chengen has been immersed in the palace for many years, and the set of things in the East Factory, West Factory, and Jinyiwei can no longer be familiar, and it is also handy to do this.

Until today, there are more than 20 secret agents of the Imperial Investigation Division, distributed in all walks of life, including the military.

Therefore, Wang Chengen can know about Song Xiancai's hidden family members and use them to threaten.

Regarding the possible existence of enemy hidden piles in the city, the Imperial Investigation Division has been tracking for many days, maybe it doesn't exist, or maybe these people are not vegetarians, and they are very hidden on weekdays, so they can't find useful clues.

In fact, after Li Zicheng fled Shanxi, he urgently began to arrange the defense of the five prefectures in Shanxi, but the Datong Mansion did not respond for a long time, so he sent people to the Datong Mansion to inquire about Zhang Tianlin.

Coincidentally, after the Qing army took Xuanfu, they also sent Han Baoyi to Datong Mansion as spies, wanting to understand the current situation in Datong, but they also never returned.

The two parties entered the city of Datong Mansion and learned that Chongzhen was not dead and was in Datong, which was earth-shattering news!

Eager to get out of the city but with nowhere to go, the army wanted to disguise itself as civilians, and the Qing army wanted to disguise themselves as merchants, each instigating their peers to make trouble, and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to find an opportunity to come out, which staged the drama of simultaneous riots in the north and south gates.

The two parties chose to attack on the same day, and Chongzhen was worried about how to find out how to catch the hidden pile, which is really no coincidence.

The civilians who made trouble were almost gathered, and with Jiang Xuan's order, there were heralds from the north and south gates, and they shouted, "Take them all!" ”

The Ming army, which had secretly assembled nearby in advance, rushed out and cooperated with the defenders of the city gate to surround all the civilians.

"Grandma's, the adults have finally given the order, do it!" , Mr. Qian, surnamed Liu, took out his waist knife and led his entourage down the city tower, ready to kill.

"Your Majesty wants to catch him alive!" The herald said his last sentence and rode away.

"Grass!" Mr. Liu, surnamed Qian, scolded him, threw the knife, and turned his head away angrily.

"No, where are you going? I'll give us a word before leaving. The attendant asked anxiously.

"Fight to the death! Don't die! ”

"......" Everyone was speechless, so they had to rush up with their bare hands to catch it alive as Mr. Qian said.

In the process of arresting people, some people naturally resisted, took out the entrained knives and daggers, and tried to rush out. But how big a wave can the turtle in the urn make? In addition to a dozen or so soldiers who were wounded, all the rioters at the city gate were taken down and imprisoned in the government prison, and Wang Chengen had already brought people to set up torture instruments in the prison and waited for the arrival of the great driver.

In this matter, Chongzhen only explained some key points, and then handed it over to Wang Chengen and Jiang Xuan to co-organize.

He himself took out his way to the place where the Shunjun veterans who refused to surrender were imprisoned, and only Yang Boxian and Song Xiance accompanied him.

These Shunjun veterans, all from the nine-sided Ming Army, because of the Ming Dynasty arrears mutiny, became thieves, and then followed Li Zicheng to fight in four places for many years, large and small wars have gone through hundreds of battles, can be described as a hundred battles.

Such a good soldier is not suitable to kill and release, Chongzhen will solve this problem today.
