Chapter 1212 What is the crime

"What, reinforcements are here, where are they?"

"Is it Jiangning Army?"

The officer's words seemed to have a scoop of water poured into a red-hot oil pan, and immediately boiled. Pan Ruzhen also stood up from the chair with a sudden sound. However, because he didn't sleep all night last night and stood too anxious, his head was a little dizzy for a moment, and he began to shake. Fortunately, the officer next to him supported him, but Pan Ruzhen pushed the officer away and grabbed the officer's clothes and said in a trembling voice.

"You say it again, what's coming?"

The Bai Zheng, who was caught in the clothes, was also startled and said tremblingly: "I dare not deceive my lord. It is indeed the reinforcements! The reinforcements under the banner of the Jiangning Army, are fighting with the bandits outside Yongchang Gate. At present, the bandits outside Yongchang Gate have been killed and are knocking outside now."

"Knock on the door?" Pan Ruzhen became angry as soon as he heard this and said sternly: "Since it is friendly troops coming to help, why don't you welcome friendly troops in? What do Zuo Dayong want to do? Could it be that he really thought that the enemy was facing, so I dare not take off his head?"

"Sir, Lord Zuo dare not!" Seeing the governor get angry, the General Manager almost cried. "Precisely because of the enemy, Lord Zuo must be more cautious. If those people are faked by the bandits, let's put them in without authorization, wouldn't Hangzhou Prefecture fall into the enemy?"

The officer on the city nodded secretly when he heard this. Mr. Qian's approach was right. He should be cautious in doing anything under the current circumstances. After all, no one knows whether the battle outside the city was directed and acted by the bandits.

"Forget it... Go with me!"

After hearing this, Pan Ruzhen did not curse again, and without saying a word, he led the people to Yongchang Gate.

Yongchang Gate is not close to Qingbo Gate. The anxious Pan Ruzhen didn't care about anything else, and didn't even do a sedan chair. He jumped on a war horse and trotted towards Yongchang Gate under the guidance of the groom.

A quarter of an hour later, when Pan Ruzhen came to the wall of Yongchang Gate, he ignored General Qian who came to greet him, but rushed to the battlement step by step, and immediately saw the support army standing outside the gate.

As the governor of Zhejiang, Pan Ruzhen's eyesight is naturally unquestionable. Although he had never seen the Jiangning Army or dealt with the people of the Jiangning Army, when he first saw the army outside the city gate, he immediately realized that the army below was the rumored Jiangning Army, the most powerful army in the Ming Dynasty.

There is no reason, it is purely his intuition.

The army outside the city gate is divided into two parts: inside and outside. Most of the outer side are infantrymen. These soldiers were wearing iron armor and steel helmets. In the middle are large trucks. These trucks are all heavy. You can tell at a glance that they are full of goods, and many trucks even pull artillery.

But what surprised Pan Ruzhen the most was that despite the extremely hot weather, the thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city were standing quietly outside the city gate in an orderly manner. Apart from the occasional sniff and neighing sound of the horses, there was no more noise, and no one was talking.

This scene not only stunned Pan Ruzhen, but also looked at everyone on the city wall.

"There is such a strong army in the world."

Pan Ruzhen exclaimed in his heart. At this moment, he was no longer confused. This army was the Jiangning Army, which had only heard of its name but not seen in the past few years. Apart from this army, he really couldn't imagine which army would have such aura in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Which Jiangning Army is this?" someone murmured beside him.

Some people also said in a positive tone: "It must be them. If it weren't for the Jiangning Army, which army in the Ming Dynasty would have such momentum?"

"They are the Jiangning Army, and they must be the Jiangning Army."

Ignoring the whispering people beside him, Pan Ruzhen poked his head out of the battlements and asked loudly: "I am the governor of Zhejiang Pan Ruzhen, who is here?"

Pan Ruzhen said three times in a row, and the army under the city reacted. Soon, an officer wearing ordinary iron armor came out of the team and bowed to Pan Ruzhen on the city wall and said loudly: "I am Duke Xin Guo Yang Feng. He was ordered to come to help Jiangnan to eliminate the bandits. Now he has killed the bandits here, but he has been stopped outside the city. Could it be that Lord Pan doesn't welcome us?"

Yang Feng's words caused a commotion on the city wall, and many people rushed to look over and forget about it.

"Is this Duke Xinguo?"

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Duke Xin to be so young, he looks less than thirty, right?"

Pan Ruzhen blushed, and quickly said, "Don't blame Duke Xinguo. Now it is an extraordinary period. The guards are afraid of being thieves entering the city by bandits, so they have to act cautiously. Now they are still worried that Duke Xinguo will put the seal and documents into the hanging basket. After the official verified it, he will immediately welcome Duke Xinguo into the city and apologize to you."

"Can!"

Yang Feng nodded, took out his official seal and documents and handed them to the servants next to him, and put them in the hanging basket that was placed down from the city wall.

Soon, Pan Ruzhen saw the official seal and documents placed by Yang Feng in the hanging basket. After a strict investigation, he confirmed that it was correct and immediately ordered the city gate to open to welcome the Jiangning army into the city.

As the city gate opened wide, the Jiangning army waiting at the city gate immediately entered the city in an orderly manner. At this time, something that surprised Pan Ruzhen and others happened again.

The first group of female soldiers who entered the city were actually a group of female soldiers wearing green military uniforms. The difference between these female soldiers and soldiers outside was that they were not wearing armor, but were all wearing green military uniforms, with green helmets on their heads, and a white cross embroidered armband on their arms.

Although these female soldiers are women, they are all heroic and proud, both in marching and walking, and are no worse than male soldiers in terms of momentum. They walk towards the city gate with neat steps, which looks particularly pleasing to the eye.

"This...this...this...this...this...this is what these women do? There are actually women in the Jiangning army."

This scene made Pan Ruzhen and the generals who were standing at the gate of the city were stunned.

After these female soldiers entered the city, they drove a large cart of baggage soldiers and artillery soldiers pulling artillery. After these people entered the city, Yang Feng led his servants and soldiers responsible for the guards to enter the city.

When the last Jiangning army soldier entered the city, the city gate slowly closed.

"Pan Ruzhen, the governor of Zhejiang, met Duke Xin, and was unreasonable just now. I hope the Duke will forgive me."

When Yang Feng and Pan Ruzhen met, Pan Ruzhen respectfully returned Yang Feng's official seal and documents as soon as possible and apologized to him.
