Dongmen Qianzong stared dumbfounded at the Japanese pirates swarming under the city.
"Close the city gate, quickly, lower the thousand-pound gate," he yelled anxiously.
"My lord, there are still many people who haven't come in." Chen Li from one household said hurriedly.
The frightened people below were all swarming into the city to escape. The city gates were crowded with people, and it was very difficult to close the doors at this time.
"No matter what, pull up the suspension bridge, quickly"
With a grinding sound, the winch quickly rotated and the suspension bridge slowly rose.
Many people who did not squeeze in were pushed by the people behind them and fell into the moat. Fortunately, the water was shallow, only up to the waist, so no one could be drowned.
"You officers and soldiers, none of you are good."
"You have a son without an asshole, you bastard"
Seeing that they could not enter the city, the people cursed angrily and ran from both sides. The Japanese pirates were about to come up. These Japanese pirates had already been rumored to be almost like evil spirits.
A large number of common people, merchants, clerks, and dock coolies who could not enter the city ran around the city and fled on the main road outside the west gate.
Yang Fan and his five hundred servants stationed their horses on a small slope and watched the people flee from the road below crying for their fathers and mothers. He couldn't help but sigh. After all his troubles, the people still suffered. No.
Know how much damage has been done to them.
At this time, a group of knights escorted three carriages and came out of the west gate, riding horses and galloping all the way to this side.
"Hmph, it seems to be a big fish. Chen Jin, you guys rush down and stop them." Yang Fan snorted coldly.
"No!" Chen Jin immediately rode down the slope and rushed down with a squadron.
Huang Yuntai was riding a horse with his two sons and thirty confidants guarding three carriages. He was driving away the fleeing people while running fast. Suddenly he saw more than a hundred cavalry rushing down from the mountain on the side.
Each one was wearing a mask with a grimace, and his hands and feet were so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.
"Sir, it seems to be the governor of Tianjin Huang Yuntai and his family papers." Lin Yueru rode over and said softly. "He was the governor of Tianjin who followed my path and spent money to buy it."
Yang Fan thought for a while, well, since the eunuch party is opposite to the Donglin party, the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, so there is really no need for him to cause trouble for him.
"Let him keep his belongings and get out with his whole family."
"No!" A messenger quickly came down the mountain to give Chen Jin an order.
"Listen to the people on the other side. You can leave your belongings and leave. Otherwise, we will kill them all. Don't blame me for not predicting what you said." A strange tone said.
Although Huang Yuntai felt some pain in his body, he could still lift his big joints clearly.
If the money is gone, you can still make more, but if your life is gone, you have nothing.
Just the past three years in Tianjin have been in vain.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Leave the last two cars behind, take the madam and young lady, and leave."
Being able to leave is already a blessing among misfortunes.
Huang Yuntai was a little surprised that these Japanese pirates did not harass Nvjuan. But he knew that when he was in danger, it was wise to leave quickly.
He immediately turned a corner and ran away with a carriage.
Lin Yueru glanced at Yang Fan, and the unhappiness caused by Sakurai Tao dissipated a lot in her heart.
The master still cares about his own feelings. If he did this, he would definitely kill them to silence them. The master actually let his family go because of his words.
It seems that the master's heart is still with his wives and concubines at home. What kind of domestic flowers do not have the fragrance of wild flowers does not apply to the master.
It was just a joke with that Japanese widow.
Yang Fan was amused. He knew what Lin Yueru was thinking. Testing himself with this made him speechless.
Yang Fan knows that women are not toys. They have their own thoughts and feelings. Since they are married, they still have to be coaxed, otherwise, they will definitely create a lot of trouble.
What Yang Fan did was to make them think that the master cared about him very much and valued him very much when he got along with them in private.
Cui Erjin was overjoyed while reading the delivery documents at this time, hahaha, there are more than thirty shops, all of which are prosperous shops in good locations.
There are more than 3,000 acres of farmland outside the city, all of which are paddy fields. It’s so good that I’m really full.
I spent 3,800 taels of silver on my own activities as the governor of Tianjin, and now I have earned it back several times.
While he was enjoying himself, the deep sound of a horn came from outside the door.
He was a little surprised. Today was neither a New Year nor a festival, so what kind of trumpets did these dead Qiu Ba play?
When I get promoted, I must sort it out. The discipline of the Tianjin garrison is really broken.
After a while, several more cannon shots were heard from the east gate.
A little dust fell on the ceiling that was shaken by the sound of gunfire.
Governor Cui was leaving when a noisy sound of footsteps came from the front. It seemed that dozens of people ran in from the front hall.
He went out to take a look in confusion, and found out that it was Cao Xiu of the Military Bei Dao, Fan Lin, the Commander of Tianjin, Chu Lanqing, the Commander of Tianjin Guard, and a group of civil and military officials.
Fan Lin, the capital officer, said loudly: "Cuibu Yuan, where is the governor? I am reporting urgent military information to the governor. It is extremely urgent."
At this time, Cui Erjin felt something was wrong. Huang Yuntai was so abnormal today that he didn't even care about basic official etiquette and procedures.
Maybe something big happened.
But in broad daylight, what big thing can happen in this clear world?"
"What happened? Don't panic. You really don't have any decency at all." Cui Erjin said calmly.
Although he was a little panicked, the matter had reached this point and it was impossible to return the seal.
Seeing everyone looking at him strangely, he quickly took out the seal of the Tianjin Governor, showed it, and said: "The Headquarters has just handed over the handover to Mr. Huang, and now he is the new Tianjin Governor."
Everyone suddenly understood, and started talking in a hurry.
"Sir, the Japanese pirates are here. Japanese pirates. It's dark outside the east gate. There are four to five thousand people."
"The city will be besieged soon. Please decide immediately how to defend the city."
"We must immediately dispatch a six-hundred-mile rush and alert the capital. If we are too late to besiege the city, we will not be able to get out."
Cui Erjin felt regretful at this moment. What could he do if he was so greedy for money? These things were all on the ground in Tianjin. How could he run away on his own?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! No wonder that old man Huang Yuntai is so anxious and feels like his butt is burning. So that’s what happened.
But it's useless to say anything now. Now that the handover has been made, the responsibility is yours. Losing territory for the local governor is a serious crime.
Serious cases will result in death.
Tianjin is the barrier of the capital, and these Japanese pirates attacking Tianjin are directly threatening the capital. His hands and feet felt cold when he thought about it, and he was hurt badly by Huang Yuntai, an old man.
This responsibility was too big, no wonder he ran away like his butt was on fire.
Seeing the new governor gnashing his teeth in hysteria, Fan Lin, the governor of Tianjin, turned pale with anger. How long has it been since he was still here to care about his grudges with Huang Yuntai?
He yelled: "Please, sir, send a six-hundred-mile emergency immediately and alert the capital. If it's too late, we will besiege the city."
Cui Erjin was so excited that he suddenly woke up and quickly ordered: "Yes, we will rush for six hundred miles immediately, call the police to the capital, and at the same time light beacon fires in all the smoke piers along the way."
After 600 miles of speed, the horses finally rushed out of the north gate of Tianjin before the siege of the city, and galloped straight to the capital. Smoke was also lit in the city of Tianjin and at the fire piers along the way.
When a fast horse rushed into the Yongding Gate carrying the exhausted knights, a news spread across the capital like an explosion.
"The Japanese pirates are back."
"The Japanese pirates have landed at Dagu Port, and Tianjin is surrounded."
"The Japanese pirates, tens of thousands of them, are overwhelmingly black and overwhelming. They have come from Tianjin and want to attack the capital."
The nine gates of the capital were tightly closed, and the entire city was under martial law, prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting.
The 12th Regiment Battalion gathered urgently, distributed weapons and armor, and the Fifth Army Governor's Office and the Cabinet were all recruited to Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Chongzhen sat on the throne with a livid face. He had only been on the throne for half a year, and something like this happened. The Japanese pirates actually resurfaced and came to the capital.
It's really unbearable.
Looking at the anxious expressions of the ministers below, Chongzhen grasped the handle of the dragon chair tightly, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.
