The officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards cooperated very closely and seemed to have received the instructions in advance.
When these people drove into the ruins, they divided into small teams and surrounded the officials from various departments of Shanxi Province who were present.
The crowd was a little flustered.
Although they knew that these Yulin Guards were nominally here to protect them from being harmed by the arsonist.
But looking at these Yulin Guards officers and soldiers whose whole bodies were wrapped in the cold light, the officials still felt a little uneasy in their hearts.
Yue Xinghui, the magistrate of Yangqu County in Taiyuan Prefecture, looked embarrassed and quietly got up from the ground.
Before he had time to shake off the dirt on his body, Yue Xinghui heard that the superior officers in front of him had already spoken.
Changsun Gong lowered his head and nodded, with wisps of confusion flashing in his eyes.
However, in the end, it just turned into a sigh in my heart, and then he said: "His Royal Highness Taisun loves and protects his ministers. I dare not to say thank you. I hope that the governor will forward it to your highness, and I will thank you."
After finishing speaking, Changsun Gong turned sideways and raised his hands, bowing toward the northwest of Taiyuan City.
Changsun Gong put down his hands and opened his eyes to look at the ruins surrounded by a group of royal guards.
He took tentative steps.
Wang Xinling said quietly from the side: "I would like to ask Changsun Fantai to send people to go to various warehouses with my colleagues in the household department."
Changsun Gong's steps came to a halt and he looked at Wang Xinling with a smile: "This is natural. I will send someone to escort you all there right now."
After saying that, Changsun Gong had already turned around, greeted the Shanxi Road officials who were present, and took the household officials who had entered Taiyuan City to go to the warehouses inside and outside Taiyuan City.
Wang Xinling had no intention of going with him to check the accounts. He just looked around at the ruins of the Jia Ge Library and frowned at the embarrassed Changsun Gong and others.
A considerate smile appeared on his face: "I think you have been busy all night and haven't slept a wink, so you should go back to the Yamen quickly to freshen up. I have been ordered to station in Taiyuan City, and I have to bother Changsun Fantai to stay at the Chief Envoy Si Yamen.
Come out of a public room."
Changsun Gong smiled and said: "This is a small matter. Governor Wang went with me to the Chief Envoy Si Yamen."
As he spoke, Changsun Gong stretched out his hand and walked ahead.
He looked at the Jinyi guards who were escorting the household officials to various warehouses, and then glanced at the group of Yulin guards following him. His face was calm, but his mind was filled with thousands of thoughts.
As Changsun Gong left with Wang Xinling, the officials from various Shanxi Province departments who were present also left silently.
What's more, these officials, large and small, are escorted by at least two Yulin Guard officers and soldiers.
This strange scene suddenly appeared in Taiyuan City.
Yue Xinghui, as the magistrate of Yangqu County, was followed by six Yulin Guard officers and soldiers.
Every time he takes a step, the Yulin Guards officers and soldiers behind him will follow suit.
The bursts of movement made Yue Xinghui frown. He looked at the Shangguan and his former colleagues who were leaving. There were thousands of words in his heart, but it was difficult to say them at this time.
Wang Xinling followed Chang Sun Gong and others all the way to the Chief Envoy Si Yamen.
Just after entering the gate of the Chief Envoy Si Yamen.
Wang Xinling immediately stopped.
Under the suspicious gaze of Chang Sun Gong, he turned around and looked back at Sun Cheng, Ma Hongqing and others behind him.
"People have been assigned to guard the key places in front and behind the government offices, as well as in various key places, so that no thieves can take advantage of us."
Sun Cheng and Ma Hongqing cooperate very well.
The two clasped fists heavily.
"Take your orders!"
Later, under the watchful eye of Changsun Gong, more than ten guards in royal robes stayed at the gate of the Chief Envoy Si Yamen.
The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
damn it.
When did the Ming Dynasty's murderous and lawless Jin Yiwei start to work as gatekeepers for local government offices?
"Changsun Fantai?"
After Wang Xinling finished his instructions, he looked at the dazed Changsun Gong with a smile on his face.
Changsun Gong's eyes swayed and he blinked: "Maybe I didn't rest last night and was a little distracted."
Wang Xinling said with a smile: "The feudal government is in charge of Shanxi and it is really hard work to serve as pastor and guard for the imperial court. I will leave this to my officer. Fantai will go wash up and rest for a while."
Changsun Gong nodded, but was suddenly stunned.
What does it mean to leave this place to him?
Suppressing the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, Changsun Gong said a few words before disappearing from Wang Xinling's eyes.
Watching Changsun Gong go to the back office of the Chief Envoy Si Yamen under the escort of more than a dozen Yulin Guards officers and soldiers, there were only those busy Chief Envoy Si Yamen officials walking around in the public rooms.
Wang Xinling always had a smile on his face: "Please take me to the public apartment."
He said something to a government official assigned here by Changsun Gong.
The official immediately bowed and led Wang Xinling and others to an extremely spacious public house.
"If you, sir, need anything, just tell me."
The official stood bent at the door of the public room. After saying something, he carefully closed the door and retreated.
There was no one around. Wang Xinling looked at Sun Cheng, Ma Hongqing and Niu Dafu in front of him, and finally let out a long breath.
He immediately sat on the chair behind him, stretched out his legs, stretched his hands to his sides, and leaned his upper body softly on the chair.
"Fortunately nothing happened..."
"Fortunately nothing happened..."
He just brought a thousand Jinyi guards and Yulin guards into the city.
No matter how intimidating the Jinyi Guards are, and how elite the Yulin Guards are, as long as Changsun Gong and the others greet them, the Taiyuan guards and horses in the city can swamp them.
Sun Cheng moved a chair and sat down, stretched out his hand to grab a big teapot on the side, filled a big bowl with a big bowl, and then poured water into his stomach as boldly as a cow drinking.
Ma Hongqing first caught Zhu Yunxi's eyes outside Kaifeng City, and now he can stand out in the army.
This was the first time that he worked with the emperor's grandson on errands.
Unlike the cautious Niu Dafu, Ma Hongqing has more thoughts.
He whispered: "What else do we need to do now?"
Wang Xinling let out a long cry in his throat.
He narrowed his eyes and rolled his eyes.
It's best not to let yourself know who gave His Highness the Grand Sun this idea today!
"Before the situation is resolved, we are now waiting to see how Taiyuan City will take action."
In fact, Wang Xinling, like Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen, didn't like the current situation very much.
But the concerns of Taisun and Gaoge are issues that have to be considered.
Ma Hongqing moved his mouth: "Isn't this just a back-and-forth of tricks?"
Wang Xinling smiled faintly: "Who said it's a back-and-forth? Can't we just make a few more moves and wait for them to take the move?"
…
Taiyuan City, as the seat of Shanxi Taoism, gathered many government offices and the Jin Palace of the imperial vassals.
Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the imperial court carried out reinforcements and repairs to Taiyuan City.
Taiyuan City is four miles and 210 steps long from east to west and five miles and sixty steps long from north to south.
The city wall is four feet and two feet high and two feet and five feet thick.
There are turrets built at the four corners of the city, five feet high.
There are also a total of eight city gates.
Beicheng Gongji Gate, Zhenyuan Gate, and no Wengcheng.
Yinghui Gate and Yichun Gate in the east city, Chengen Gate and Yingze Gate in the south city, Zhenwu Gate and Fucheng Gate in the west city are all equipped with urns.
Such a city is considered a fortified city in the entire Central Plains.
If there were tens of thousands more soldiers and horses guarding the city.
And if you want to conquer this city, you will need an army of hundreds of thousands.
However, if you just want to block this city.
So how many people are needed?
In the north of Taiyuan City, the Emperor Taisun of the Ming Dynasty was patrolling north in the camp.
In the silence, the sound of fighting and iron horses gradually came out.
Then, one by one, heavily armed troops of the Beijing Army from hundreds of households came out of the gate of the camp.
The war horses are armored, the officers and men wear long swords and powerful crossbows on their waists, and carry long blazing guns on their backs. A long spear is inserted diagonally on the horse's body.
Quivers and fire belt bags were hung on both sides of the saddle.
Such soldiers and horses can be regarded as the most elite among the entire Beijing army.
There were eight such teams of hundreds of households in the camp.
The soldiers and horses came out of the camp, each led by hundreds of officials.
As soon as they left the camp, the war horses neighed, and the eight Hundred Household Troops were like eight arrows flying off the string, rushing close to the wall of Taiyuan City.
Zhenyuan Gate is closest to the main camp of the North Patrol.
Not long.
A team of hundreds of households had already arrived in front of Zhenyuan Gate.
The officers and soldiers of the Taiyuan garrison up and down the city wall had long noticed Taisun Xing's movements in the camp.
When the Beijing officers and soldiers arrived at Zhenyuan Gate.
A Qianhu official on the city wall had already driven down with his people with a look of fear on his face.
The war horses neighed one after another because of the urging of the officers and soldiers on their backs. The horses' hooves trampled heavily on the ground, bringing up countless gravel and dust. Thick dust and smoke rose behind the team.
A hundred men capture the city?
The Qianhu officer of the Taiyuan garrison who came down from the Zhenyuan Gate tower had a tense expression on his face and looked uneasily at the Beijing Army's Hundreds of Troops, who were getting closer and closer.
"Qianhu, what are they going to do?"
Behind Officer Qianhu, a chief flag officer asked nervously in a low voice.
Qian Huguan hesitated a little and said in a low voice: "Maybe he is going to the city too..."
After all, not long ago, thousands of Jinyi Guards and Yulin Guards officers and soldiers entered Taiyuan City.
The chief flag officer had some doubts: "But..."
However, the officers and soldiers of the Jinyi Guard and the Yulin Guard did not look so murderous. Moreover, everyone at the top of the city could see clearly just now that when walking in the gate of the camp, a total of eight hundred households came out.
They were sent to various places in Taiyuan City.
However, Officer Qianhu's gloomy eyes had already looked over, causing the flag officer to look blankly and quickly shut his mouth and lowered his head.
The Qianhu official snorted lowly and raised his head to look at the Beijing army's Hundreds of Household Team, which was approaching the city gate, and his face was already full of smiles.
"I don't know why your department came here. Can we help you?"
The leader of the Hundred Households, who came out of the northbound camp, swept his clear eyes across the Zhenyuan Gate, both inside and outside.
Then he sat on the horse and looked down at the Qianhu officer of the Taiyuan garrison in front of him.
"The headquarters is under the command of Marquis Jingchuan, the 1,000th House of the Central Military Camp, and the 300th House Team."
The official from Baihu announced his home address, and then said in a deep voice: "According to the order, it is now known that the Jiage Treasury of the Taiyuan City Government Office was set on fire by thieves. The Jiage Treasury is of great importance and the thieves are arrogant. It is inevitable that the thieves will escape. The headquarters was ordered to blockade the far gate of Taiyuan Town.
At the city gate, anyone who should leave the city will be subject to inspection and questioning by the headquarters."
"this……"
Officer Qianhu of the Taiyuan garrison looked ugly and spoke hesitantly.
The good news is that anyone who leaves the city will be questioned. The bad news is that from now on, no one in Taiyuan City can leave the city.
"We did not receive an order from the Dusi Yamen, so your department came in vain..."
The Baihu officer on horseback sneered and stretched out his hand towards the chief flag officer beside him.
The chief flag officer immediately took a document and sent it to the Baihu official.
Officer Baihu opened the document and rushed to Officer Qianhu of Taiyuan garrison: "This is the official document signed by Gao Xueshi, the cabinet minister. You can tell the difference."
After saying that, the Baihu officer closed the document and threw it to the Qianhu officer of the Taiyuan garrison.
The Qianhu official looked at the document that was suddenly thrown at him. He was in a hurry for a while and finally took the document with both hands.
He raised his head and frowned at the official of the Hundred Households of the Beijing Army who was sitting on horseback, then lowered his head and carefully opened the document.
Just opened a corner.
The Qianhu official immediately closed the document heavily, with a bright smile on his face.
"This department knows that if necessary, your department can send someone over."
As he spoke, Qian Huguan immediately turned around, winked at his subordinates behind him, and led the people into Zhenyuan Gate as if running away.
When he made it all the way to the tower, he let out a long breath.
Then he sat casually on the first step and opened the document that had been tightly held in his hand.
On it, the seal of the imperial concubine's grandson is clearly visible, extremely bright red.
There is also a red line at the end of the document.
Those who disobey orders will be killed without mercy.
This is the writing signed by the cabinet minister and stamped by the emperor's grandson.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Who can refuse it inside and outside Taiyuan City?
Qian Huguan's eyes were deep and he kept breathing deeply.
After a long time, Qian Huguan stood up again and carefully put the scary document close to his chest. Then he supported the wall, walked out of the tower, and stepped cautiously close to the wall.
Then, under the suspicious gazes of his subordinates, the Qianhu official carefully stretched his head out of the city wall and stamped on it.
"What are they doing?"
Qian Huguan asked in a low voice.
A Baihu official who had been observing the officers and soldiers in the camp below on the city wall immediately stepped forward.
"They... are digging trenches..."
In fact, there was no need for the Baihu officer to explain. The Qianhu officer of the garrison who was hiding behind the city wall could already see clearly from the city wall.
I saw that the Beijing army's Hundred Household Team, which had just arrived at Zhenyuan Gate, had already dismounted. After tying their horses, they actually took out shovels and hoes from their horses.
Then, a ditch that was not too deep but was extremely wide was dug under Zhenyuan Gate.
Such ditches and trenches would be of no use at all when the two armies were facing each other.
But placed outside Zhenyuan Gate, this is a boundary that draws the ground into a prison.
Seeing that there were still people in the city who wanted to leave the city through Zhenyuan Gate, but they were blocked by the Beijing officers and soldiers.
Although he couldn't hear it, the Qianhu officer at the garrison on the city wall could see clearly.
Those people from the Beijing Army must have used various reasons to stop all those who wanted to leave the city.
At this time, the Qianhu Officer of the Guard Station remembered again the other seven people who were in the Hundred Household Team of the main camp that he first saw on the city wall.
Come to think of it, no one in Taiyuan City can even think of stepping out of Taiyuan City at this time.
Qian Huguan's eyes were serious and he retracted his head from outside the city wall.
"Go, send someone to the Dusi Yamen to report this matter!"
