Chang Yu woke up and it was already dark, and it was almost past seven o'clock in the evening of summer, and the maid who was waiting outside heard the sound and hurriedly brought water to serve the little eunuch to wash.

Asked where King Heng was, the maid shook her head and didn't know how to go outside to ask, Chang Yu stopped her from walking out of the room and looked up at the sky and was about to be discharged from the hospital, when she saw the housekeeper of the palace running to greet him.

"Prince Heng and Shizidian have not returned to the house after going out in the afternoon, so they are not even there for the officials of Changshi" Chang Yu smiled secretly when he heard it, it seems that Zhu Youdi is really concerned, but then again, it is a matter of wealth and life, and who is not concerned.

In fact, it is not only the Hengwang Mansion, on the afternoon when he slept, the entire Qingzhou City was busy with city defense matters, of course, the common people did not know that the factory governor who was high and high was sleeping, otherwise it was estimated that there would be a lot of scolding.

Chang Yu decided to go out of the palace to see how the city defense was arranged, and wanted the housekeeper to lead the way out of the south gate of the palace to enter the city, Heng Wangfu was in the southwest corner of Qingzhou City, and it was very close to the two southwest gates.

"Lord Changgong, a distinguished guest came to the door and said that it was your command, and the front hall was waiting at this time" The housekeeper hurriedly said, before King Heng left, he told him to follow Chang Yu not to leave, just when a family came to report that someone came to find the big eunuch of the East Factory, he hurried to receive it, and just came back and bumped into Chang Yu to go out.

Chang Yu was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly, he naturally knew who was looking for him, Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu, a few guys with brains.

It is said that Chang Yu didn't have time to think about it at the time, and casually responded to a few people to let them have a good time, but at this time he made a difficulty, but he couldn't open his mouth, it was not hypocrisy, it was really difficult to speak, he crossed over, but he did not lose his memory, and he still had the thinking of the future generations, after all, it was illegal to find a young lady to be hi in the later life, and it was also more embarrassing.

What's more, when you are a guest at someone's house, you have to sleep with someone's young lady, so you can just sleep by yourself or give it to your subordinates...... The dignified Dongchang Sports Gang is called Kende Chicken, and this is spread......

The housekeeper saw that the young factory man wanted to speak and stopped, so he said intimately: "What do you have to say, but it doesn't matter, the prince has already explained and meets all your requirements!" ”

It would be nice if he asked for it, Chang Yu sighed, and said to the housekeeper: "The subordinates of this governor are very stubborn, and if they are not in charge of them at this time, they are busy with official business, and there will be a labor housekeeper."

The housekeeper looked bitter, what are you kidding, I can't control the people in your East Factory! Chang Yu saw his embarrassment and said: "It's okay to find a wine shop, casino, fireworks alley, it's good to be a soldier, and it saves them from causing trouble on the street."

As soon as the housekeeper heard the fun, this matter is simple, and many people in the palace guards can explain to this door, so they beckoned a family member to let him do this.

Chang Yu was relieved, although the whole city was in turmoil at this time, and many nightclubs were closed, but this kind of old player had only a place to go.

Finally did this thing without a trace, Chang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and followed the housekeeper to the south gate, I wanted to ask the guards if they woke up, but suddenly thought that if they woke up, they would have come to find themselves a long time ago, hey, it seems that they are all tired, after all, they have been almost sleepless for a few days and nights, and they want to ask if the Tartar pioneer has not arrived yet, and he didn't ask, if there is a warning signal, King Heng will wake him up as soon as possible.

Out of the palace, there was a carriage and a good horse in front of the door, and the housekeeper asked, "Is the factory man riding a car or a horse?" Chang Yu glanced at the carriage: "Horseback."

When he turned over and was about to leave, there was a shout from the palace: "Wait a minute, the factory governor"

Chang Yu glanced back suspiciously, but it was Guo Chongshan who ran over with a few people panting, and he couldn't help but be stunned, almost forgetting about this new follower.

As for the other people, needless to say, they are also Jinyi guards in Qingzhou City.

With Guo Chongshan, there is naturally no need for a housekeeper to lead the way, Chang Yu and his party rode horses to the city gate, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived under the south city gate, but it was crowded, and the people were transporting war preparations to the city in an orderly manner, and it was not so easy to go right away.

Previously, Chang Yu and Li Shiyuan also speculated that the Qing army was very likely to use the north city as the main attack point, and the reason was sufficient, the first Qing army came from the northeast, the second city had mountains to the west, and the terrain was uneven, and there was a river in the east of the city, so it was unlikely that they would go around to the south to attack the city.

However, because the Hengwang Mansion is in the southwest corner of Qingzhou City, it is not ruled out that the Qing army will concentrate its firepower to attack from the south gate. Therefore, the two decided to use the north and south gates as heavy defense bases.

Seeing that there were too many people at the city gate, the two of them couldn't go up at all, so Chang Yu asked Guo Chongshan to ask where Li Shiyuan, the soldier on duty, was, and told him that he was not here.

"Go to the North Gate" At this time, it was already dark and the Tartar pioneers could enter at any time, Li Shiyuan was very likely to be staring at Beicheng, and Chang Yu and his party took a horse and walked along the street towards Beicheng.

I have to say that Qian Lianghan and Li Shiyuan are a pair of best partners, one is busy with city defense and one is governance, the first thing Qian Lianghan did after coming out of the palace was to convene the squires in the city to raise donations, and then jointly issued a notice with the palace to stabilize the people's hearts and recruit the people and defend the city and the countryside.

For most of the day, various measures have been effective, and the panic of the people has gradually disappeared, followed by the enthusiasm to protect the homeland, the old and young enthusiastically go to carry the baggage of the city and defend the city, anyway, there is food to eat, and the young and strong people sign up to go to the city to defend the enemy. The people are enthusiastic, and the squires in the city also have money to pay for food and grain, and it is a matter of life, even if there is a search, they have to endure the pain of cutting meat, not to mention that although Qian Lianghan is a civil official, he has a bandit demeanor, perhaps he heard Chang Yu directly named Heng Wang to 500,000 and was inspired, and also required that these squires should not be lower than a certain number, ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 according to their personal strength, and the grain is counted separately, but everyone knows that grain is worth more than money in these years, so some squires use money to offset grain, and if they can spend money, they will not produce food.

But this will obviously cause inflation after the war, and the people have silver in their hands, and prices will inevitably rise, forming a vicious circle, Chang Yu understands this truth, and Qian Lianghan also understands, so he directly refuses to use money to offset food, and directly sends people to the house to check for the kind of crying poor, the silver is so hidden, this granary is a check, and you can't hide it if you want to, I have to say that Qian Lianghan is also a ruthless person, but after the war, I am afraid that he will become friendless, and it is strange that those squires secretly do not scold him.

But that's also a matter for the future, if the city can't hold it, there will be no chance to scold it, Qian Lianghan's most direct means is to let the people of the city, some commoners, or squires and princes understand one thing! If the city is lost, everyone will die!

When people die, those things can't be kept or are snatched away by other people's tartars!

When everyone understands this truth, people's hearts will become united.

Of course, it is not excluded that some people whose moral character has been corrupted to the extreme, such as some ruffians and hooligans in the city, and the underworld gangs, they don't care if they can keep it or not, it is the right thing to make a fortune while messing around.

It is said that half an hour after Chang Yu entered the city was the most chaotic time, there were at least forty or fifty cases of robbery in the city, and the yamen was not busy at all, Li Shiyuan had to divide his troops to patrol and strengthen public security, but he was still understaffed.

It wasn't until Qin Fugui's two hundred brothers joined that they finally didn't seem so stretched.

Chang Yu doesn't like Qin Fugui very much, the reason has already been said above, if it weren't for the fact that this goods happened to appear when he was the most powerless, he would have been slaughtered a long time ago, but this goods actually took the initiative to surrender, and it happened that the city was in urgent need of manpower at this time, so he used it to pad the table legs.

Qin Fugui also knew that he was not welcomed, after all, he was born as a horse thief and did not have any ability to do it, so he especially wanted to perform well, and after receiving the joint defense task, he divided the men and horses into three groups and two brothers each led seventy or eighty people to divide the area to patrol, because they were not familiar with Qingzhou City, so each team had a person under Li Shiyuan as the captain to take them on duty.

Qin Fugui is in charge of the main road in the city, that is, Qingzhou North and South Street, which is the most prosperous and largest street in the city, and he is also conscientious and led his brothers to patrol for an afternoon, but he also caught a few thieves, but he didn't have the courage to kill them and hand them over to the yamen directly.

It was already dark, and the brothers who went to the barracks to eat and take a break had not yet come, Qin Fugui and more than a dozen of his subordinates were waiting for the rest in front of a closed shop on the side of the street.

One hand rushed over, and the boss had a few suspicious people.

Horses galloping in the dark, dressed as non-officials and non-soldiers, horse thieves? Bah, bah, this is a critical moment that must be interrogated, and Qin Fugui asked his subordinates to stop him.
