Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing City, which has not experienced war for more than 200 years, has been peaceful for a long time, and the city has revealed a comfortable and lazy atmosphere everywhere, and the soldiers guarding the city have basically nothing else to do on weekdays except for collecting some fees to enter the city and checking the common people, but what happened today has scared all the soldiers who defend the city.

Just two quarters of an hour ago, a team of heavily armed and menacing troops came to the gate of the stone city west of Nanjing, the soldiers guarding the gate saw the army coming with billowing dust and smoke in the distance and were so frightened that they rang the bell hanging in the city gate tower for the first time, and for a time the whole city gate was immediately closed, and all the soldiers were pushed on the city wall by the commanders even kicking and beating, but the soldiers guarding the stone city gate felt a little relieved that this army did not make a move to attack the city after stopping at the city gate, Instead, he stood quietly more than two hundred meters away from the city gate.

The officer in charge of the defense of the Stone City Gate was a thousand general named Wei Shan. Although his name was Qianzong, he actually only had more than 300 soldiers under his hands, and when he saw the detachments of uniformly draped sergeants coming from outside the city gate, he was so frightened that his legs were weak. On the one hand, he ordered the soldiers to close the city gates, and on the other hand, he desperately sent people to report to the Wei Mansion and ask for reinforcements.

A person who stammered the summary said to Wei Shan: "Big ...... My lord...... This...... Where did this army come from...... What do they want to do? ”

"How do I know!" Wei Shan shouted with a panicked and somewhat annoyed face: "Lao Tzu still wants to find someone to ask, where did this group of centaurs come from?" ”

"It can't be a wolf, right?" Hearing this, I always panicked even more.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and Wei Shan was slapped on the head, and when he saw that the soldiers around him were even more panicked after hearing the general manager's words, Wei Shan was annoyed and angry, and scolded.

"You are blind, you are blind, the equipment of the Japanese is so good, you kid will shake the heart of the army indiscriminately, be careful that Lao Tzu will cut you!"

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier pointed ahead and shouted, "My lord, they have raised their banner." ”

Wei Shan said excitedly: "Hurry up...... Look at what it says! ”

The soldier stammered, "Your Excellency...... Villain...... The villain is illiterate. ”

Wei Shan:"*&......%¥¥"

But fortunately, these flags are getting closer and closer, and soon even Wei Shan can see clearly. As a thousand presidents, although Wei Shan's cultural level is not high, he still knows a few words, looking at the big characters written on the red flag more than 100 meters away from the city gate, he slowly read out: "Jiang Ning Wei...... Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households...... Yang ......"

"Koto Gate Thousand Households...... They...... Are they military households? ”

"Dog, pinch me, why do I think something is wrong with my eyes."

"Isn't it the elite of the Nine Sides who are here to trick us?"

Whether it was Wei Shan or the surrounding soldiers, their faces became strange, looking at the neatly arranged and fully clothed sergeants below, and then looking at the shabby fat jackets on their bodies, many people felt that there was a feeling of a dog in the day, when would those poor soldiers who had no pants to wear also be able to wear such a spacious and luxurious iron armor? And it looks like such a set of iron armor, without seventy or eighty taels of silver, it can't be purchased at all.

At this time, an officer riding a war horse and wearing armor slowly came to the city gate, and shouted at the city gate: "Brothers above, this official is Yang Feng of the Thousand Households of Jiangdong Gate, and today the official led his brothers to come here not to rebel, nor to make a mutiny, but to seek justice with the old men of the military department in Nanjing." ”

"Justice?" The soldiers on the city wall know each other one by one, and the soldiers who write about it want to ask for justice from the old men of the military department, this thing is new, and I am afraid that this is the first time this kind of thing has happened in more than two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

However, since he knew that the other party was neither a widow nor a rebel, then his own life was naturally worry-free, and Wei Shan's original heart was also relaxed. He poked his head out of the wall and was about to speak, when he heard a rush of footsteps from behind, and then a slightly panicked voice sounded behind him: "Quick...... Fast...... Hurry up to the walls! ”

As soon as Wei Shan turned his head, he saw a soldier wearing leather armor and holding all kinds of weapons rushing from behind, and as soon as they climbed the city wall, many people began to come to the battlements and bend their bows and arrows to guard against them.

"These are...... Battalion soldiers? ”

As soon as he saw the soldiers who arrived in a hurry, Wei Shan immediately recognized that these soldiers who had just come up were battalions under the direct jurisdiction of the Duke of Wei, with a total of more than 3,000 people. Because these battalions have been under the direct jurisdiction of the Wei Guogong for more than 200 years, they are actually no different from the family members of the Wei Guogong, but because of this, the Wei Guogong of the past dynasties is also very willing to spend money on these battalion soldiers, not only the monthly salary is sufficient, but also the armor and weapons on the body are also the best, and they are also the strongest deterrent force in the hands of the Wei Guogong, the reason why the Wei Guogong has been able to firmly occupy the position of Nanjing garrison for many years is unshakable, It is not unrelated to the fact that Wei Guogong has always been able to hold this elite army in his hands.

With a famous battalion soldier on the city wall, Xu Hongji, the contemporary Duke of Wei, Liao Yongquan, the secretary of the military department, and Cao Dazhong, the eunuch of Nanjing, the three top three giants of Nanjing City, also went to the city one after another.

Seeing the arrival of the three of them, Wei Shan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Wei Shan, the thousand chief of Nanjing Shichengmen, has seen Grandpa Guo, Lord Liao, and Grandpa Cao!" ”

Seeing a famous battalion soldier either bending his bow and arrows or busy carrying various weapons to defend the city, Cao Dazhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took the lead in asking, "Mr. Wei Qian, how is the situation below?" ”

Before Wei Shan could speak, Xu Hongji on the side took the lead and asked, "For President Qian, have the rebels below started to attack the city?" ”

As soon as Xu Hongji spoke, the faces of the people around him immediately changed, and as soon as Xu Hongji opened his mouth, he set the tone of the rebels to the people under the city wall, is he determined to use force to solve it?

When Cao Dazhong heard this, his face immediately sank, and he turned to Xu Hongji and said, "Grandpa Xu, those sergeants didn't attack the city and didn't rebel, how can you call people rebels?" ”

Xu Hong gritted his teeth and said: "Gonggong Cao, I think that Yang Feng led his troops to surround Nanjing City without the generals of the army, what is this not a rebel?" ”

Cao Dazhong sneered: "That's also what you forced!" ”

The dispute between the two of you and me made Wei Shan and the soldiers next to him stunned, what is going on with these two big guys, it seems that there is a lot of hidden secrets in it.

Just as the two were arguing, a loud voice came from below.

"Listen to the people above, this official is Yang Feng, a thousand households in Jiangdong Gate. Today, Lord Liao Yongquan, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, sent someone to send an official letter ordering us to send troops to Zhenjiang Mansion to exterminate the Japanese invaders, but the adults of the Military Department not only did not make up for the arrears over the years, but also did not allocate even one or two taels of silver to us. Although Yang has the heart to serve the country, he can't lead his brothers to play with the Japanese invaders on a hungry stomach, so today he specially brought his brothers to ask to understand, what is the intention of Lord Liao to let me wait for my brothers to go to Zhenjiang Mansion to suppress bandits without paying or giving food, is it so impatient to let my soldiers starve to death in the middle of the road? ”

When this voice came out, all the people on the city wall were shocked......
