Chapter 152: Reporting
"Let me in, I want to see the Governor, I want to see the Governor!"
Not long in the afternoon, the original palace of Emperor Shaowu of the Southern Ming Dynasty was rebuilt into a group of soldiers on horseback in front of the palace of the Manchu governor of Guangdong, and after the first person jumped off the horse, he ran straight into the gate regardless of the injury on his leg, and shouted loudly while running, and his face was very anxious, and he couldn't wait to fly to the front of Li Shutai, the governor of Guangdong.
Canton in May was already sweltering, and the noon sun was poisonous, and according to the rules, no matter what officials asked to see the Governor, they would not see it, because the Governor from the north was not yet well adapted to the weather in the south, and he had to take a nap in the afternoon anyway, otherwise he would have no energy in the afternoon. Unless the two princes of Pingnan and Jingnan came, the governor would not see any guests and would not do any business.
Because he knew the rules of the Governor, no one dared to let anyone in at this time, so as not to disturb the Governor's rest. This cold man suddenly came an officer who was about to rush to the governor's palace, and he shouted and shouted, which immediately made the guards in front of the gate stunned, and then quickly rushed up to see which one of the bear-hearted leopards dared to be so arrogant in front of the governor's palace!
Rushing up to see, all the guards of the Governor's Mansion were stunned, it turned out that the group of soldiers who came on horseback were all soldiers of the Green Battalion, and it was a general who rushed into the gate, but for some reason, there was blood on the leg of the general, and it seemed that he was injured. Hearing the general's mouth shouting that there were 100,000 urgent military reports to be reported, the guards couldn't help but hesitate, wondering whether they should let this person in.
When the guards were hesitating, a clerk in the governor's palace rushed out of the second gate angrily: The governor is taking a lunch break, which bastard king and eight lambs dare to shout outside like this, if this startles the governor, he will pay back!
"Who dares to make a noise in front of the governor's yamen? You don't want to take him down! ”
The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, although the governor of Guangdong is not the prime minister, is also a high-powered feudal official. What's more, the wife of the current governor Li Shutai is still the daughter of the clan given by Emperor Taizu back then, and the royal relatives of the country. King Pingnan and King Jingnan couldn't stand up when they saw it, and under such authority, although it was only a small bookstore in the governor's mansion, the spirit and shelf of this bookstore were no worse than the subordinates of the prime minister's mansion. Although it was clear at a glance that it was a green battalion general who was going to break into the governor's palace, this secretary still waved his hand and asked the guards to take down this person first, no matter what kind of official you are, you can't disturb the governor's rest at this juncture!?
There is an order from the scrivener. Naturally, the guards did not hesitate any longer, and rushed forward to take people immediately.
Zheng Guodong finally escaped from Xinhui City, and along the way, he was afraid that the Taiping Army would chase him, so he didn't dare to take the official road in the east, but went around the Tanjiang River in the west, but he bumped into a remnant of the Ming army on the road, and after a fight, the following soldiers broke seven or eight, and he was also stabbed in the leg.
In order to rush back to Guangzhou to report the news, Zheng Guodong didn't know how much suffering he had suffered along the way. The injury on his leg was not taken care of at all, and he finally arrived outside the governor's palace, where could he care about the rules. I just want to hurry up and ask for a meeting with the Governor, report the Taiping Army's capture of Xinhui City, and ask the Governor to quickly transfer troops to recapture Xinhui City.
The military situation is urgent, but the group of people outside the governor's palace will not let them in, and the secretary office will also want the guards to take down him, Zheng Guodong is so anxious that he scolded this book office bastard, and shouted angrily: "I have 100,000 urgent military information to report to the governor, you wait to get out of the way quickly, Hugh is going to miss a big deal!" ”
"What a big deal! Nothing big can be done at this time! ”
The secretary can ignore Zheng Guodong. No matter what happens, even if the sky falls, you have to follow the rules. Otherwise, everyone would rush into the governor's palace like this and shout, and they would not be decent! Don't you have to behave! If you really have 100,000 urgent military intelligence, let's say otherwise. If you alarm the Governor for the big thing of sesame bullshit, who will bear the black pot after this? It's me who is on duty today, and if the Governor is unhappy, I'm going to be unlucky!
"Damn, get out of the way!"
Seeing that the book's posture is not to let himself in, Zheng Guodong was anxious, and pushed away the guards who were going to take him, and the bookseller was also anxious when he saw this: Hey, this is still stunned!
"What are you doing standing stupidly, don't you hurry up and take him down for me!"
"Wow!"
Hearing the order, the guards hurriedly stepped forward to catch Zheng Guodong, Zheng Guodong was injured in the leg and exhausted, in normal times, how could these guards of the Governor's Mansion put it in his eyes, but this would be a few of them, and they were dragged out and hugged out. Zheng Guodong's group of personal soldiers couldn't help but be anxious when they saw it, but they didn't dare to step forward to send those guards for the generals, after all, this is the yamen of the Guangdong Governor's Mansion, Zheng Guodong dares to break in, they don't dare to ......
"Your Excellency Governor, I'm Zheng Guodong of Xinhui, and I have important military information to report! …”
Zheng Guodong was in a hurry, so he had to open his throat and yell at the governor Chu Nei, so frightened that the clerk hurriedly asked his soldiers to cover his mouth.
"Who's out there?"
Li Shutai, the governor of Guangdong, who was taking a lunch break after the governor's palace, was suddenly awakened by the movement from outside, and suddenly became a little angry, and asked outside: "Who is shouting in front?" ”
The two Li Shutai who had been waiting outside hurriedly replied with Bao Yi, who had been brought from Beijing: "Lord Hui, it's Zheng Guodong from Xinhui, who said that he had some important military information to report to the prince, but now he is being stopped by the front. ”
After listening to Bao Yi's reply, Li Shutai frowned, Zheng Guodong didn't stay in Xinhui, why did he come to Guangzhou? What important military intelligence? Could it be that Xinhui City is lost?
Thinking of this, Li Shutai was immediately startled, and hurriedly ordered outside: "Bring someone over." Walking to the tea table and taking a sip of herbal tea, I suddenly felt a sense of comfort in my heart, and when I saw the official document sent by the Beijing envoy still on the table, I couldn't help but frown, sat on the stool and tapped my fingers lightly, thinking about how to reply to Beijing.
Hearing that the Governor wanted to see someone, the secretary on duty hurriedly ordered the guards to release Zheng Guodong and led him into the Governor's Palace.
As soon as he saw Li Shutai, he knelt down with a "plop" and cried silently: "Lord Governor, the last general is incompetent, and Xinhui City is lost!" ”
"What? Xinhui City is lost! ”
Hearing this, Li Shuo Taihuo jumped up and said hurriedly: "When will the thieves capture Xinhui!" (To be continued)
