Chapter 184: Eternal Calendar Patrols the City

Yongli's fear is really afraid.

As soon as he thought of fleeing, Yongli remembered that after escaping from Hengyang City with his father and brother, he was chased by Zhang Xianzhong and separated from his father and brother. Imprisoned in the prison of Daozhou City. The feeling of sitting and waiting to die, dying, has long become the psychological shadow of Yongli.

When he saw Qu Shiyun at this moment, it was as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, grabbed Qu Shiyun's sleeve, and said, "Mr. save me, Mr. save me." ”

At this moment, Qu Shiyun breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said: "The minister is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and he must also protect His Majesty's safety." The only way to do this now is to guard Guilin City and wait for the Duke of Yue to come to help? ”

"Can this Guilin city be defended?" Yongli couldn't help asking.

Qu Shiyun said: "Guilin is a strong city in the world. As long as the soldiers guard the city and do not fight, even if 100,000 elite cavalry arrives, it is impossible to break through the city. It's just that after the repeated defeats of the soldiers, it is inevitable that people will be panicked. ”

Yongli immediately asked, "How should this be?" ”

Yongli didn't have much hope for Guilin City before. Now that the safety of Guilin City is linked to his own life, he can't help but worry about it.

Qu Shi said in a prostrated manner: "Ministers are brave, please Your Majesty patrol the city to boost the morale of the whole city." ”

Yongli was timid in his heart, and said with a little hesitation in his tone: "Is this useful?" ”

Qu Shiyun said loudly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the hearts of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty are still in the hearts of the people for two hundred years. Only His Majesty can be dressed in battle, and the soldiers of all parties will be bathed in the grace of the saint, and their morale will be boosted. ”

Yongli listened to Qu Shiyun's affirmation. I had to agree.

Immediately, Qu Shiyun immediately took over Yongli's convoy and beat the Yongli Emperor's honor guard out. Although the current emperor's honor guard is not much simpler than when he was in Beijing, but when the dragon flag fluttered in the air. It still brought tears to the eyes of many people.

At this time, Zhang Tongchang was at the gate of Xiqing.

As soon as he came, he ordered the gates to be closed. But the people were bustling, and it seemed that there were more people in power. For a while, I don't know how many people gathered at the gate of Xiqing. There are still many people who don't know what's going on, they don't know that the Xiqing Gate has been closed, and they are still crowded from all directions.

People are next to each other, people are crowded, just some are placed at the gate of the city, and the antlers have no effect.

"My lord, use the knife." A general came to Zhang Tongchang's side and said: "If you don't use the knife, it will be difficult to do, at this time kill a few people, they will disperse, if it continues like this, the brothers may not be able to control it." ”

Zhang Tongchang could see it.

Zhang Tongchang did not order the use of force, but only blocked it. Therefore, when these people saw that these soldiers did not dare to make a move, they became more and more bold, and even some scoundrels from the crowd

Throwing stones, several soldiers have already been hit.

After all, these soldiers had seen blood in battle, and although they listened to orders, they were already showing a fierce light at this moment.

Zhang Tongchang knew that if he gave the order, it would not be a matter of killing a few people at that time.

And if he doesn't give the order, I'm afraid these soldiers won't last long, and under the pressure of the people step by step, whether it is for revenge or self-protection, I'm afraid they will have to use force.

Not all armies can do the right thing and not fight back, and they can't scold back.

Zhang Tongchang could not give this order, he walked to the front and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, please be quiet, Guilin City can be defended, you don't need to panic, and you are in such a hurry, how much dry food can you bring, and how to settle down after leaving the city." ”

"Guilin City is your home, you can't listen to a few rumors and throw your home away."

Zhang Tongchang wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to throw a stone and hit Zhang Tongchang on the head, knocking Zhang Tongchang's official hat crooked.

"His grandmother's." The soldier beside Zhang Tongchang scolded. A few men bent their bows and arrows, and they prepared to shoot arrows.

Although Zhang Tongchang is not proficient in martial arts, he is full of courage, and on the battlefield, he has always supervised the battle in the front and retreated in the rear. The soldiers were convinced of him, he went to Chenzhou Mansion alone, and when Chenzhou Mansion fell, he brought back more than a thousand defeated soldiers, which shows how his personal charm is.

"Stop." Zhang Tongchang said loudly.

A few of the soldiers said, "My lord, will you let them do this?" ”

Zhang Tongchang said: "In short, you can't attack the unarmed people. ”

Although these generals were a little angry, they could only say: "Yes." ”

Zhang Tongchang appeased the soldiers, and knew in his heart that this was not the way. But how to solve this matter, Zhang Tongchang couldn't think of a way for a while.

"Your Majesty has arrived. Ladies and gentlemen. A long voice shouted.

But in a moment, I saw the canopy coming from afar.

The people, who had been crowded, immediately separated from the left and right and knelt on the ground. More than 100 soldiers escorted Yongli to sit on the carriage, although the size of the carriage was relatively large, but it was still not as good as the jade chariot. But under all kinds of ceremonial guards, it looks very majestic.

This pomp and circumstance made the people all worried.

It was the first time Yongli had seen so many people.

In addition, at this time, the street is far inferior to the current street, so Yongli feels as if he is on a lonely boat, which can be overturned by the crowd at any time. Opened your mouth for a while, not knowing what to say? Qu Shiyun was beside Yongli and whispered, "Your Majesty, it's time to speak." ”

Yongli shook his body and said: "I live and die with Guilin City, you don't need to panic, just go back to your own home." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." As soon as Yongli's words were finished, the people immediately shouted loudly.

But the people have not been rehearsed, so naturally the shouting is not neat, the front note has just passed, and the back note has come again, mixed together, and can only hear the constant repetition of Banzai. It seems that there is no end to it, and it will be over for a while.

Yongli's guard of honor turned around and left here, and then the people dispersed. They went home.

This is the reason why the hearts of the Ming people are still there.

Even if the Yongli court is extremely dilapidated, there are still people who regard him as the court. A sentence of Yongli is much more useful than the countless efforts of many people. Of course, today's events are not only the reason for Yongli's words, but many people feel that the emperor dares to stay, and it is obvious that this Guilin city should be relatively safe.

The matter here in Xiqingmen has been resolved, but the matter of the other city gates has not been resolved.

In this way, Qu Shiyun led Yongli to inspect the city of Guilin, and also went to the city wall to inspect the soldiers everywhere.

Sure enough, as Qu Shiyun said, the morale of all departments increased greatly. And Hu Yiqing burst into tears and said: "I see the wind of Emperor Liezong again." ”

The Emperor Liezong he said was Emperor Longwu, on top of the original history, the temple number of Longwu was Shaozong, but in this time and space, the temple number of Longwu was Liezong.

After some inspection, not only the whole city was relieved, but even Yongli himself had a little more confidence in guarding Guilin, and Yongli secretly said: "Maybe, I really don't have to leave Guilin." ”

However, he still felt that it was not safe, so he sent eunuchs and sent more than a dozen edicts to Liu Chengyin in a row, asking Liu Chengyin to return to Guilin.

Qu Shiyun sent Yongli back to the palace, lest Yongli change his hexagram halfway, he understands Yongli's character too well, don't look at him today, he will flee today, become a patrol, no one can say a few words, arouse Yongli's fear, Yongli will flee again.

And no matter how tightly guarded the city gates, no one dared to disobey the orders of the eternal calendar.

So Qu Shiyun thought about it, and simply didn't leave, so he found a house in the palace as his temporary office. Countless orders came from here, and the most urgent one was the conscription order. There is also a solicitation order. There is no one, no money, what to fight with.

Just when Qu Shiyun was busy with the implementation of these two things.

Someone came to report and said, "Traces of thieves have been found outside the city." ”

Qu Shiyun immediately said, "Explore again." ”

"Yes."

The soldiers who can go out to probe are all Jiao Lian's subordinates, because only his subordinates are cavalry. Otherwise, send foot soldiers to detect the trails of the cavalry, and there is no need to think that they will return one day.

Qu Shiyun behaved very calmly, as if he had expected it, but there was an extra ink ball in the pen, and it seemed that he was not so calm.

A big war has begun.
