Jingde was originally a small town, and there were no battalions stationed on weekdays. The main thing that was maintained in the city was the errands of the county government. Unarmed.

A few days ago, the Zhejiang bandits committed crimes along the river, and the prefectures and counties on both sides of the Jiangnan responded one after another. Jingde is in the southwest corner of Ningguofu, far from the Yangtze River and Fucheng, so the county magistrate Jia Zhen received the news late, and when he also decided to send someone to the Zhejiang bandit to ask for surrender, the pirates under the Nanjing city were defeated early, and the Zhejiang bandit was defeated. It also collapsed in Tongling, so Jia Zhen became the only magistrate of the six counties under the jurisdiction of Ningguo Prefecture that did not change its flag anyway.

At the moment, the colleagues in Fucheng and other counties are busy redemption and clearing the suspicion of thieves, but Jia Zhen is very comfortable here, and even wants the court to come to the Jiangnan officialdom for another major purge. For Jia Zhifu.

But the gods are too eye-opening. The Zhejiang bandit has just been defeated, but the Taiping bandit has come from Jiangxi. The one who sent the news didn't come back. Jia Zhixian knew that the road was 80% broken. Maybe those who reported the news would have lost their lives.

After thinking about it, Jia Zhixian made up his mind. If the Ming army really came to attack the city, he paid the money and asked to surrender, just like when the sea bandits came last time. This decision was unanimously supported by the gentry in the city, who said that the county magistrate's decision was extremely wise. However, when Jingde officials prepared wine and meat to reward their teachers and prepared to open the city to welcome the Daming soldiers into the city, they found that the Daming soldiers did not come to the county at all.

Jia Zhixian was confused, where would the Ming army go if they didn't come to attack the city?

Lu Xiancheng sent a few daring officers to ride the few fast horses in the city to Zishan to inquire, but found that the Ming army did not stop at all, and left without even staying in the camp in Hule Town.

The local villagers explained that the army ran all the way through Hule Town. When they passed the army, the Ming army did nothing to Liqiu in the town except for taking two people as guides. When I asked the villagers how many troops there were in the Ming army, the answers were varied, some said thousands, some said hundreds, and some said only a few dozen people passed by.

The officers reported the news, and Lu Xiancheng was also unsure. I wondered why the Ming army had come from Jiangxi, why they did not attack the city and loot the land, but ran all the way to the northeast.

"Could it be that they want to attack Fucheng?" Lu Xiancheng made a bold guess.

Jia Zhixian had another guess, saying that the Ming army wanted to attack Jiangning?

Lu Xiancheng slapped his thigh and lost his voice: "I'm afraid that's true!"

But even if the Ming army went to Jiangning, Jia Zhixian and Lu Xiancheng had no way to report the news. The previous batches of people who went to report the news have not returned, and no one in the city dared to go out. [Love ↑ go △ small ↓ say △ network WwW.AiQu]

In the end, Jia Zhixian made a decision that he thought was very sensible, that is, wait and see. If the Ming army from Jiangxi really took Jiangning, then he would change the flag immediately. Anyway, the Ming army did not enter Jingde City, so it is very easy to stand on which side.

Lu Xiancheng also said yes, so the matter was settled. Unexpectedly, just after the decision was made, someone from outside came to report that the Ming army had arrived from outside the city.

Jia Zhixian and Lu Xiancheng were taken aback, didn't it mean that the army had passed Zishan and left? Why did the Ming Army appear again!

When they arrived at the top of the city, Jia and Lu were staying there. It was true that the Ming army had come from outside the city, but there were only a few dozen of them. The leading Ming army officer shot a letter onto the city, and Jia Zhixian quickly opened it to read, but there was a line of vernacular on it - "Give us some shoes and food, or we will attack the city!"

This request made Jia Zhixian and Lu Xiancheng stunned, but a yamen who knew some words saw it, but he smiled and shouted: "Xianzun, this Ming army doesn't even have shoes and food, let's still Afraid that they will attack the city? I can't say that they will all be so hungry that they will lose their strength, or the county magistrate will order them to lead someone to capture them?"

The yamen's words made Lu Xiancheng very excited, and he was eager to try it for a while. However, Jia Zhixian said it was wrong. He was afraid that it was a fraud. If the Ming army had no food and clothes, how dare they come here. Besides, I don't know how many Ming troops will come here. If the brigade of the Ming army is behind, wouldn't it be a big disaster.

The yamen murmured, "Didn't the Ming Army brigade leave?"

"What if they come back?"

Jia Zhixian glared at this rash guy. In his opinion, the Ming army's demands were not excessive. If they could get rid of them by getting some shoes and food, it would be a cheap thing.

Lu Xiancheng thought about it for a while, but also felt that he should not take risks. He was about to ask how many pairs of shoes the Ming army wanted, but the city screamed, indicating that the army was attacking the city.

Jia Zhixian and Lu Xiancheng were startled again, and hurriedly lay on the city to look down, but saw seven or eight Ming soldiers running under the city with several shields, then threw something into the city gate hole, and quickly ran away again. go back. Before the people in the city could react, there was a loud "bang" from the gate of the city gate, which shook people's eardrums. A black smoke also rose from the city gate, and the smell of gunpowder smoke was also smelled in the nose. When the people who lived not far from the city wall heard the loud noise of the city gate and ran to look, they found that the city gate hole was bright, and the heavy city gate had disappeared.

"The city is broken?!"

Everyone was stunned, and the timid yamen had turned his head and ran away.

After getting up from the ground, Jia Zhixian, whose ears were still ringing with noises, finally got clear and clear~www.NovelMTL.com~ What he heard was the cry of a broken city. At that moment, his intuition was spinning, thinking that today was his. period of death. When it was suffering, a voice came from outside the city.

"I opened your city gates, just to ask you to be smarter. Now bring what we want right away, or we'll rush into the city and kill people!"

After being stunned for a few seconds, Lu Xiancheng rushed to answer the matter in front of Jia Zhixian, and then the city was mobilized when it was neutralized. In less than half an hour, a batch of shoes was sent out of the city. The city was already stocked with food and drink to reward the army, so they all moved out this time. It's strange to say that the city gates are open, but the Ming army outside the city really did not enter the city, but hurriedly chose shoes that fit their feet, then sat around and ate a meal, then wiped their mouths and got up. Line up with weapons, it looks like they are really going.

Jiazhi County Amitabha, it's good to go, it's good to go. The gentry and the people all over the city were all relieved, but one of the Ming army ran out and inserted a wooden sign in front of the city gate. On the sign were written several large characters in lime - "the city is for the people of obedience".

After the Mingjun put the sign on, he said to the person who brought the things out: "Don't take the things, there are brothers behind us who want to come over, and you will send a batch of shoes and food here every half an hour. Do as you do. If you do, keep your city safe, or you will be killed!" (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
