It is said that Dorgon was tricked by the Ming army outside the city. He was so angry that he ordered the soldiers to march around the city and insult him. He also killed more than ten people in a row. He used bamboo poles to drag corpses around the city to humiliate the Ming army. The defenders on the city rushed to the city.
With their crowns and canthus cracked, they cursed the Tatars for their inhumanity, and invited people to go out of the city to kill the enemy.
At this time, Chang Yu led his troops back to the city. After a bloody battle, although there were casualties, he also killed many enemies. His body was stained with blood like a bloody man, which made people look at him intimidatingly.
After the meeting in the city, they ordered the horses to rest. Chang Yu came up to the city and saw the inhumane behavior of the Tatars. He just frowned and rode around the east city to Nanxing. His subordinates Tu Yuan and Wu Zhong were still not satisfied and clamored to raise troops.
Nancheng went out to do some voting, but Chang Yu ignored him. From time to time, he looked sideways at the city to observe the people's livelihood, and whispered to Li Muchian: "I'm nervous enough after all this trouble."
Li Muxian raised his thumb and said: "This is a great move by the factory director. It can not only make things easier for Mr. Wu, but also anger the Tatars. They are in a dilemma. If you fight, you won't be able to win. If you don't fight, it's hard to bear this tone. And he is wandering unsteadily."
, our men and horses can quickly get into position..."
"What are you talking about? What does this trick have to do with the governor? Wasn't it all your idea?"
"Yes, yes, that's right. This kind of underhanded trick can only be thought up by a humble person." Li Muxian knew that this campaign and pressure would be convenient for Wu Mengming to force him to donate. Such an underhanded trick, in the future, when those nobles will react...
Hey, let’s just take the blame.
After a fierce fighting, and the wind blowing on the city for a while, Chang Yu felt a little thirsty, so he left the city at Guangqumen. This was the outer city. People who had taken refuge around the capital were not allowed to enter the inner city, so the outer city seemed crowded.
It’s unbearable, and refugees with panic-stricken faces can be seen everywhere.
Huangzhai is near Guangqumen. Chang Yu hesitated again and again but still did not knock on the door. The outer city is not as good as the inner city. The inner city is mostly populated by the royal family, relatives, nobles and wealthy gentry, and no trouble can occur. Many traffic control areas are under martial law, while the outer city is
Then you are free. Except for the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth and other royal sites that are prohibited from approaching, you are allowed to wander around the rest. Of course, if you dare to do anything out of the ordinary, the soldiers and horsemen who maintain order and the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Camp will chop you to pieces with one knife. It is very special.
At that time, there were heavy laws and regulations to control chaos. When the Tatar troops were approaching the city, it was not a big deal to kill a few troublemakers.
In fact, the charity of the Ming Dynasty was really the best in all dynasties, such as nursing homes and orphanages, which were called nursing homes at that time. Although they were not created in the Ming Dynasty, they were the most complete in that dynasty.
During the war, the orphans and elderly people were supported by the court. At its peak, almost every county in the Ming Dynasty had such a nursing home. Even when the Ming Dynasty was at its most impoverished, there was no shortage of food.
In addition, every time there is a drought, a flood, or a war, the imperial court will open a porridge shed. At this time, there are porridge sheds in all the cities. Some are opened by the court, and some are opened by wealthy households in the city. Don’t believe it.
As the saying goes, it is unkind to be rich. Since ancient times, the rich have made far more contributions and charity than ordinary people.
It's just that there has always been a hatred of the rich, which will magnify the shortcomings of the rich and make them look bad. Don't forget that there is a saying that the poor have a tactic, and the rich lead to conscience.
Chang Yu doesn't hate the rich, but he doesn't tolerate them either. In his mind, when the country is in crisis, it's everyone's responsibility to contribute the effort and the money. If you contribute money and food, I say you have a good reputation. If you don't get a dime, that's not the case.
I don’t hate the rich, I will beat the rich!
Chang Yu heard a trace of blood, fearing to disturb the people, so he took off his armor and put on his casual clothes. With Li Muxian, Chen Wangting and others went to a house to ask for water. The head of the household thought they were refugees and was about to refuse, but he saw a few people with extraordinary aura and blood on their clothes.
Looking at me from a distance, I understood. I quickly picked up a ladle and handed it to Chang Yu: "Master Jun, what's going on outside the city?"
The well water was sweet and refreshing. Chang Yu drank it all in one gulp, thanked him, waved and left without saying a word about what happened outside the city. The head of the household was stunned and frowned in confusion.
After walking around in a circle, Chang Yu wanted to go to the city again, but Li Muchian said, that's it for today, there is nothing to do down there, let's see if the Tatars can hold in their farts all night, and whether they can eat Gou Ming.
See you later, son.
Chang Yu put his hands on his hands and laughed: "What you said is absolutely true. If not, why don't we go see Mr. Wu perform?"
"Factory Supervisor, it's better to keep a clean mind. Mr. Wu has been very smelly lately, so why bother to join in the fun?" Li Muchian chuckled, Chang Yu nodded slightly: "Forget it, go to the palace, I'm afraid the emperor is anxious to find out what happened in the battle just now.
What's going on?"
Everyone walked west along the inner city wall. After a while, they came near Chongwen Gate and saw several porridge shacks set up in the open space, surrounded by people. Chang Yu wanted to go around, but inadvertently glanced at the porridge shacks, and suddenly
He was startled, and then his face changed drastically, Chen Suo was delighted.
"The factory supervisor is in his humble position." Chen Suole hurried over.
Chang Yu frowned: "Have you seen Chunxiang?"
Chen Suole shook his head, but understood what Chang Yu meant, and quickly searched for Chunxiang in the surrounding crowd. A dozen pairs of eyes scanned the crowd to no avail. Chang Yu clenched his fists and frowned. No one knew what happened. Li Muchian
Chang Yu asked in a low voice, but Chang Yu remained silent, which pleased Chen Suo. Kuang Ren sent all the guards around him to guard against any unusual movements or murder near the porridge shed.
Everyone was shocked, thinking that something big must have happened, or that the young governor had discovered something strange, or that it was a Tatar spy, or... Jiang Fa and others thought of the assassin outside the pass.
Chang Yu rubbed his nose and walked to the porridge shop. He really noticed something strange.
Not a spy or an assassin, but Princess Zhu Ainao of Kunxing in the Ming Dynasty!
At this time, she was not in the palace, but she was in the porridge shed, cooking spoons.
What a nonsense!
Royal rules have always been strict. Not only the prince cannot leave the palace easily, but also the princess before she is married. Zhu Cixiang and Chang Yu have a close relationship, and they have sneaked out several times under the cover of this big eunuch.
But what happened to Princess Kunxing? There was only one maid next to her, obviously pretending to be a lady from a large family in the city and doing charity...
It was impossible for Emperor Chongzhen to let her out, and it was even more impossible for Empress Zhou to let her out, so Zhu Aao secretly left the palace, but even the guards who had lost their heads did not dare to take the job. Wu Mengming, the only one who dared to take the job, was still drinking and making money like crazy.
So only those from Dongchang dared to take it, and besides Chang Yu, only Chunxiang could handle it.
So Chang Yu immediately looked for Chunxiang's figure. He calculated that this guy must be watching nearby. He was just fooling around. Can he borrow this job casually? The outer city is in a mess. If something happens to the princess, everything in the East Factory will not be well.
, even if he has military exploits to defend himself, he will not be punished.
"Hey, why don't you line up?" Chang Yu was pushed by the refugees as soon as he squeezed into the crowd. Just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly saw a few big men standing next to him. Without saying a word, he slapped the refugees in the face.
Seeing his ferocity, the refugees were so frightened that they dared not speak. Chang Yu looked on coldly. The big men came closer and whispered, "I have seen the factory governor! They are all from Dongchang."
"Where is Chunxiang?" Chang Yu asked calmly. One of them pointed towards the city gate: "Eunuch Chun was up there just now, he should be down now."
While he was talking, Chunxiang squeezed in beside him. Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and scolded: "You are very courageous."
"Big Brother" Chunxiang said with a bitter face: "I can't resist her! She also lied to me and said she has a good relationship with you and won't punish her. Then you went outside the city again. I can't resist her!"
Do you have a good relationship with me? Chang Yu smiled bitterly and looked up. It happened that Zhu Yuyao was attracted by the movement and looked up. She saw Chang Yu at a glance, her face suddenly turned pale, and then she bit her lip and smiled.
It actually felt very flirtatious. Chang Yu was charmed by her smile, and the previous anger had already flown out of the sky.
Push Chunxiang away and walk towards the porridge shed. (To be continued)
