Chapter 794: It's easy to break the mountain, but it's hard to break the heart
After seeing a few people taking the lead, many people shouted and scolded.
As the prefect of a prefecture, when did Su Yan suffer such humiliation, he could only leave with his sleeves brushed up. Before leaving, Su Yan said to the city guard: "This government will go down to the city first, you will defend the city for me, and the reinforcements from Kaifeng Mansion will arrive immediately. ”
This always smiled bitterly, I'm afraid that this credit will be taken by life, and there will be no life to enjoy.
The two of them walked down the tower.
Let the master say: "Dong Weng, look at this posture, it should be the sound horse from Shandong after the Yellow River froze to the bottom." ”
Su Yan said to Master Rang: "Xiangma is just asking for wealth, and the hungry people are asking for food, so redeem the city from the money in the treasury and let Xiangma retreat." ”
Let the master say: "Dong Weng, the treasury has no money." ”
Su Yan said: "Then copy Yu Dazhong's house, if it weren't for his ambush and the defeat of the whole army, even if he gave Xiangma ten dares, he would not dare to besiege Fucheng." ”
Let the master understand that Su Yan wants Yu Dazhong to be the scapegoat, nodded and said, "Yes, Yu Dazhong is not to escape the blame." ”
At this moment, in the direction of the south gate, the banner at the head of the city fell, and the rioters outside the city shouted excitedly.
Let the master see this scene and exclaim: "What's the matter, the city has collapsed?" ”
Su Yan immediately said, "Go and see what's going on?" ”
Soon Wu Tong and Zhou Tong returned together, and said anxiously: "Futai, the high-ranking general guarding the north of the city, actually abandoned the city and fled, and the city gate was wide open!" ”
Several officials were shocked when they heard this: "What? ”
And all the officials are bloodless, and although the hungry people below are shouting fiercely, they are all rabble, and they have no ability to really attack the city. But the opening of the city gate is another matter, if the city gate is broken, Su Yan will scrape the whole city, take out the gold and silver mountains and pile them in front of them, it is useless.
Everyone looked at the city now, but saw a Ming army general riding a horse and leading his soldiers to flee from Shangqiu City from the north gate.
Defeat before the battle and flee before the battle is a common thing for the Ming army with corrupt military discipline.
The guards abandoned the city and fled, and the rebels shouted: "Kill the corrupt officials!" ”
"Kill the rich and unkind!"
There was a roar, and the rioters stepped over the frozen moat and ran towards the city gates.
The government was sentenced, the officials were pushed, and the experience was that they were helpless when they stood up, and they saw the hungry people easily break into the urn city, showing a look of despair.
"It's over, it's over, as soon as the city is broken, we will all be prisoners."
"It's okay for the prisoners under the stairs, I didn't hear the rioters shouting about killing corrupt officials, how can we survive!"
"I am an official of the imperial court, how can I be humiliated."
Su Yan looked at these people at this time and sneered slightly: "You are really useless, today's thing is only death." ”
After speaking, Su Yan got up, stood on the head of the city, and wanted to commit suicide by falling into the city and martyrdom the city!
The officials knew that Su Yan was the prefect of the prefecture, even if the city was broken and he could not die, he would not be able to escape the responsibility of the imperial court, and he would be dismissed and imprisoned, but it was better to die today, and the court would not be held accountable for his death.
But let the master take the people on the left and right, and they all pulled Su Yan and said: "Dong Weng, if you can't keep it, let's retreat, and leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood." ”
Su Yan was furious and wanted to die but couldn't.
That's when it happened.
"Futai-sama!"
"Lord Futai, a team of people rushed to the north gate."
Wu Tongju and the others almost cried with joy when they heard this.
Su Yan pushed away and asked the master and the others, "Where are the soldiers and horses in the city?" ”
In the city, there are like the Hou family, and the big families like the Yang family have a lot of caretakers, and in addition, they also have caravans at home, and the guards of the caravans are also martial artists.
Lin Yanchao personally went to visit Hou's house and went to borrow a guard from the family.
Everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, and whether to do it or not is another thought.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the treasury had no money, and the country was about to die, so Chongzhen borrowed money from high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing. Chongzhen's father-in-law Zhou Kui was rich and rivaled the country, but he didn't pull out a dime, and his daughter Queen Zhou gave him 5,000 taels to save face. As a result, Zhou Kui only handed over 3,000 taels of his daughter's 5,000 taels of 5,000 taels, and swallowed 2,000 taels privately. In the end, Li Zicheng entered Beijing, tortured Zhou Kui, and found 3 million taels of silver from his house alone.
When Lin Yanchao visited Hou's house, Hou Zhipu didn't say a word, and lent Lin Yanchao all the family members and caravan guards. accompanied Lin Yanchao to the Yang family, who was familiar with him, and finally got together more than 200 people.
With this group of people, Lin Yanchao, Sun Chengzong, and Hou Zhipu led the people to rush to the city, but they saw the scene of the North Gate guards abandoning the city and fleeing.
The gates of the city are open, and the people outside the city are flocking.
Everyone's teeth trembled, and they all meant to retreat.
At the last moment, Lin Yanchao also wanted to turn around and flee, but he thought of the tragic situation of the city. The blood in his chest swelled up, and he stood up and almost shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, when the city is broken, the people of the city will be destroyed by horse thieves. Now it is death to enter, and it is death if you don't enter, it is better to die for your parents in your hometown. ”
"If you guard the city gate, I, Lin Yanchao, am willing to take the court to commend you, whether it is a death or a pension, a martyr's shrine, and an incense offering, everyone who is alive will be rewarded."
Hou Zhipu listened to Lin Yanchao's words and said: "Master Sima is the champion today, will he still lie to you when he speaks?" ”
At this time, these men said: "Since Master Sima said it, what do we not believe, even if it is for the sake of our wives and children, we will fight!" ”
Saying that, the people also rushed to the city gate.
Both sides rushed wildly, but the guards were one step faster and blocked the gates.
It's not that the Jiading Nursing Home is running fast, but the entire Shangqiu City, which is only seven miles away, and it is only half a street when they rush over.
The gates were shut, and the rebels were barricaded in the urn, beating the gates with sticks and cursing loudly.
Lin Yanchao was overjoyed when he saw that the city gate was blocked, and immediately divided the two or three hundred people into two groups of people, after one group of people blocked the gate, and the other group of people went to the city head from the horse road, they lifted the rolling wood and stones on the city head and smashed them down. The rebels screamed and left the city with their heads in their hands.
When Lin Yanchao panted and ascended to the city gate, the rebellious people had already retreated.
The guards who defended the city not only performed a feat of saving the whole city, but they were also unscathed.
"Haha, I actually defended the city, I just ran fast and lost my shoes."
"Shoes are nothing, if it weren't for the fast running of these bunnies, I would have cut over two."
"Yes, I thought there was a fight, but I didn't expect that the strength of my old Zhang's elbow hadn't been used yet."
"Lao Zhang is so good, let's hang you down the city tower and have a good time!"
"Eh, spare their dogs' lives, my Lao Zhang is not a person who is easy to kill."
They boasted to each other, with all kinds of exaggerated expressions, Lin Yanchao saw it in his eyes, and only felt that these upright men were a little cute.
Lin Yanchao said to the people in the city: "I can defend the city gate this time, thanks to your dedication, I, Lin Yanchao, have thanked you on behalf of the people of the city, and I will not miss you for rewarding." ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and hugged their fists to Lin Yanchao and said, "Master Sima doesn't need to be polite, it's a trivial matter!" ”
"We don't even want our lives, what do we want money for?"
"If there's anything you want to contribute, just call me and wait."
There was a chorus of joy in the city, and all the big men felt that they had never raised their eyebrows so angrily in their lives.
Sun Chengzong and Hou Zhipu looked happy. Sun Chengzong said: "Dong Weng, we have taken back the city gate. ”
Hou Zhipu said with admiration: "Mr. is not afraid of danger, and the students admire." ”
Lin Yanchao nodded, and the chaotic people outside the city retreated, while Su Yan and the officials of the city came to the city gate.
Su Yan saw the joy in the city, and knew that Lin Yanchao was trying his best to turn the tide, and he was a little embarrassed.
When Lin Yanchao left the city with his family, Su Yan was furious when he heard it, and angrily scolded Lin Yanchao to flee in front of all the government officials. And after a while, Lin Yanchao not only did not escape, but also borrowed troops to save the lives of the people of a house, and even his Su Yan's life, which made him not ashamed.
Seeing Lin Yanchao going down to the city tower to greet him, Su Yan said casually: "Sima, how is the city now, but the chaotic people have retreated?" ”
Lin Yanchao arched his hand and said: "Futai, the chaotic people have retreated. These rebels are a rabble, and they don't even have siege weapons such as hooks and ladders. The weather is cold and frozen, as long as we recruit people to defend the city, and then order the heads of each square to strictly guard the square. As long as you strictly guard the inside and outside, you don't have to delay until the moment when the reinforcements arrive, and when the wind and snow are heavy, the rebels have nowhere to live outside the city, and they will retreat. ”
Lin Yanchao's words were obtained from asking Sun Chengzong and his previous reading of military books.
When the officials saw that after Lin Yanchao retreated from the enemy, they did not have the slightest sense of self-satisfaction, and they talked calmly and freely with the prefect, how to defend the city, and they all admired him in their hearts.
At this moment, Wu Tongju and Zhou Tongju were thinking in their hearts, how good it would be for Lin Yanchao to be the prefect. Then such a crisis would not arise today, and even the chaos of the people attacking the city would not happen.
Su Yan sneered: "Yu Dazhong and the soldiers and horses in the city who can fight have been wiped out, how can the old and weak soldiers defend the city, so that you can recapture the city, it is because those ringing horses have not moved, it is just a fluke." Don't think that you can retreat from the enemy by retaking the city gate, when the people of a city are alive and dead, Sima and can't be self-righteous. ”
Not to mention Lin Yanchao's contribution to saving the people of the city, this reasonable suggestion became self-righteous in Su Yan's mouth.
All the officials were upset for Lin Yanchao in their hearts.
That Zhilin Yanchao did not have the slightest hint of anger, but asked calmly: "That's the presumptuous decision of the lower officials, please ask Futai for the strategy of retreating from the enemy." ”
Let the master say: "Today's strategy, the only way is to divide the horse and the hungry people, the horse wants money, the hungry people want food, we choose one of the money and food to give it, and the hungry people will fall out." ”
Lin Yanchao said in his heart, this is the redemption of the city, the thief with grain and grass, if it is rumored by the imperial history, he will be impeached.
Su Yan explained: "We don't really give, it's just an expedient measure, just delay until the imperial court reinforcements arrive." ”
Lin Yanchao said in his heart, this is not a way.
Let the master say: "But the treasury is now empty. The only way to do this is to raise money from the big families in the house. I didn't expect that the relationship between Sima and the Hou family and the Yang family was so good, so I asked Sima to come forward to raise money. ”
Su Yan nodded and said, "That's exactly the truth." ”
Lin Yanchao said in his heart, it is really easy to break the mountain, but it is difficult to break the heart.
