Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing City, which has not experienced war for more than two hundred years, has been peaceful and lazy. The soldiers guarding the city have basically nothing to do except collecting some money to enter the city to check the people. However, what happened today scared all the soldiers guarding the city.

Just two quarters of an hour ago, a team of fully armed troops arrived at the gate of Shicheng west of Nanjing. The soldiers guarding the gate saw the army accompanied by rolling dust in the distance and rang the bell hanging on the city gate tower at the first time. For a moment, the entire city gate was immediately closed, and all the soldiers were kicked and pushed onto the city wall by the commanders. However, what made the soldiers guarding the gate of Shicheng felt a little relieved was that the army did not make a siege after stopping at the gate, but stood quietly more than 200 meters away from the gate.

The officer in charge of the defense of the Shicheng Gate was a Qian Zheng, named Wei Shan. Although his name was Qian Zheng, he actually had only more than 300 soldiers under his command. When he saw the teams of soldiers wearing all over the body spreading outside the city gate, he had never experienced the battle formation and his legs were so scared that he had weakened. While ordering the soldiers to close the city gate, he desperately sent people to the Duke of Wei's mansion to report and request reinforcements.

A stuttered to Wei Shan, saying, "Big... Sir... Where did this army come from? What do they want to do?"

"How did I know!" Wei Shan shouted in panic and angrily: "I still want to ask someone, where did this team come out."

"It's not a Japanese pirate, right?" He was even more panicked when he heard this.

With a crisp "bang", Wei Shan slapped the general in the head. When he saw the soldiers around him, he became even more panicked when he heard Mr. Ba's words. Wei Shan was both annoyed and angry and cursed.

"You Japanese pirates, you are blind. The Japanese pirates will be so well equipped. If you shake your military spirit, be careful, I will kill you!"

Suddenly a sharp-eyed soldier pointed to the front and shouted: "Sir, they have posed a banner."

Wei Shan said excitedly: "Hurry...Look at what is written on it!"

The soldier stammered: "Sir... the villain... the villain is illiterate."

Wei Shan: "&…%￥￥”

Fortunately, these flags are getting closer and closer, and even Wei Shan can see clearly. As a Qianzheng, although Wei Shan’s cultural level is not high, he still knows a few words. Looking at the big words written on the red flag more than 100 meters away from the city gate, he slowly pronounced it: "Jiangning Wei... Jiangdong Gate Qianhu Institute... Yang..."

"The Qianhu House of Jiangdongmen...they...they are military households?"

"Dog, pinch me quickly, why do I feel something wrong with my eyes?"

"Is it because of the elites from Jiubian who are here to play with us?"

Both Wei Shan and the soldiers around him all became weird. Looking at the soldiers arranged neatly and fully armored below, and looking at the worn fat jackets on their bodies, many people felt like they were a dog. When could those poor military households who had no pants wear such luxurious and luxurious iron armor? And it looked like such a set of iron armor could not be bought without 70 or 80 taels of silver.

At this time, an officer riding a war horse and wearing armor slowly came to the city gate and shouted loudly at the city gate: "Brothers above, this is Yang Feng, a thousand households of the Qianhu Office of Jiangdong Gate. Today, this official led his brothers here not to rebel or to cause a mutiny, but to seek justice from the men of the Ministry of War in Nanjing."

"Trying for justice?" The soldiers on the city wall met one after another. It was a story about the military households who wanted to seek justice from the Ministry of War. This was a new thing. It was probably the first time that such a thing happened in the more than two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

However, since he knew that the other party was neither Japanese pirates nor was there to rebel, his life was naturally worry-free. Wei Shan was relieved of the heart that he had originally held. He poked his head out of the city wall and was about to speak, but he heard a burst of rapid footsteps from behind, and then a slightly panicked voice sounded behind him: "Hurry... hurry up... hurry up the city wall!"

Wei Shan turned his head and saw a soldier wearing leather armor holding various weapons coming from behind. As soon as they climbed the city wall, many people began to come to the squadron to bend their bows and arrows to guard.

"Are these... battalions?"

As soon as he saw the soldiers who arrived in a hurry, Wei Shan immediately recognized that these newly arrived soldiers were battalions under the direct jurisdiction of Duke Wei, with a total of more than 3,000 people. Since these battalions have been directly under the jurisdiction of Duke Wei for more than 200 years, they are actually no different from the servants of Duke Wei’s Mansion. However, because of this, Duke Wei of all dynasties is very willing to pay for these battalions. Not only does they pay enough money every month, but they also have the best armor and weapons on their bodies. At the same time, they are also the strongest deterrent force in the Duke Wei’s Mansion. The reason why Duke Wei’s Mansion has firmly occupied the position of garrison in Nanjing for many years is unshakable, which is not unrelated to the fact that Duke Wei’s Mansion has always been able to hold this elite soldier in his hand in history.

As a famous camp soldier climbed the city wall, the three highest three giants in Nanjing, Xu Hongji, the contemporary Duke of Wei, Liao Yongquan, the Minister of War, and Cao Dazhong, the eunuch in Nanjing, also climbed to the city.

Seeing the three people coming, Wei Shan quickly stepped forward and knelt on one knee and said, "I am not sure about the fact that Wei Zheng Qianmao of Shichengmen, Nanjing has met the Duke of the State, Lord Liao, and Eunuch Cao!"

Seeing a famous camp soldier bent his bow and arrow or busy carrying various weapons to defend the city, Cao Dazhong narrowed his eyes slightly, and he asked first: "Mr. Wei Qian, what's going on below?"

Before Wei Shan could speak, Xu Hongji, who was standing beside him, asked first: "Mr. Wei 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. As soon as Xu Hongji spoke, he set a rebel tone for the people under the city wall. Is he determined to use force to solve the problem?

When Cao Dazhong heard this, his face immediately became darker, and he turned to Xu Hongji and said, "Mr. Xu, those soldiers did not attack the city and did not rebel. How do you call them rebels?"

Xu Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Eunuch Cao, I think Yang Feng led his troops to surround Nanjing City without the generals of the Ministry of War. What is this a rebel?"

Cao Dazhong sneered: "That's what you guys are forcing me!"

The two of them had arguing with each other, which made Wei Shan and the soldiers beside them stunned. What was going on with these two big guys? It seemed that there was a lot of hidden information inside.

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

"Listen to the person above, I am Yang Feng, a thousand households in Jiangdong Gate. Today, the Minister of War Liao Yongquan of Nanjing, sent someone to send us a document and ordered us to send troops to Zhenjiang Prefecture to wipe out the Japanese pirates. However, the adults of the Ministry of War not only did not make up for the money that had been owed over the years, but even one or two taels of silver were not allocated to us. Although Yang was willing to serve the country, he could not lead his brothers to fight with the Japanese pirates on hungry days, so today I specially brought my brothers to ask clearly. What was the intention of letting my brothers go to Zhenjiang Prefecture to suppress bandits? Is it so impatient to make our soldiers starve to death halfway through the road?"

After this sound came up, everyone on the city wall was shocked...
