The sudden sound of artillery fire and loud killing noises in the city naturally caused panic among the people, especially the residents who were close to the city wall. They hurried away, and the people talked a lot in the streets. The rich and powerful families sent their servants out to inquire for information. Even Emperor Chongzhen in the imperial city also challenged
His eyebrows were solemn, and Wang Chengen had already sent people out of the palace to go to the city without him saying a word. Your Majesty, Eunuch Chang was not at the Yamen. He went out at noon. As expected, he should be on the city. With him on the city defense, there will be no problem!
Chang Yu was really not in the city. He saw through Dorgon's intention and knew that it was just a test. In addition, arrows were flying like locusts on the city, so he went down to the city and prepared to go back to the Yamen. However, the streets outside the city were crowded with refugees, so
Riding along the city wall, we headed towards the south city.
Several orders were issued one after another along the way, and soldiers and horses were deployed throughout the city to maintain security. Those found guilty of committing crimes, spreading rumors and causing chaos were directly sent to prison and handed over to the Jinyi Guards.
In addition, he ordered refugees to carry wood and other city defense supplies to the city. Wang Jiayan was also doing these things in the past few days. However, Chang Yu felt that although Dorgon could not defeat Dorgon, there would definitely be a storm coming, so he had to prepare well.
, since people are here, it is best to entertain them with good wine and good food.
When the horse arrived at Yongding Gate, Chang Yu went up to the city and looked around for a while. The situation outside the city was undoubtedly more certain than that in the east city. Then he went down to the city and headed straight to the north. There is a trunk road leading from Yongding Gate to Zhengyang Gate (front gate).
The road has already implemented traffic control in order to quickly mobilize troops and transport strategic materials. At this time, more than ten Chang Yu's horses galloped past, and they arrived at the Zhengyang Gate in a short time. Both sides of the street were crowded with people.
Chang Yu, who was about to enter the palace, looked around a few times, but suddenly turned around and headed towards Dashilan. The guards were clearing the way and passers-by avoided. After a while, he arrived in front of the Great World Nightclub, which is the most popular nightclub in Dashilan recently.
The happy place is open at twelve o'clock a day, and it is always overcrowded no matter day or night. Even when the Qing army is sieging the city, it is still a feast for the eyes, and the music and bamboos are heard. After all, there are businesswomen at any time. After all, many people feel that this
You don't know what day you will die in this world, so be happy as long as you can.
Several military lords were invited in. As soon as Chang Yu and his entourage got off their horses, a waiter came to hold the horses to entertain them. Although these welcoming boys did not know him, they were all discerning enough to recognize the identities of these people.
The background of the big world is rumored to be magical, and most of the guests are either rich or noble. There are many rich and powerful people who come to play. There are many relatives of the emperor, and there are also big shots from the court, including some from the Beijing Camp.
Generals have been here too, and the few people in front of me, wearing flying fish suits and carrying embroidered spring knives on their waists, look like they are members of the Jinyiwei, a powerful unit, so they don't dare to neglect them.
The reception boy didn't know Chang Yu, a great man, but one of the palace monitors heard that guests from the Jin Yiwei were coming to play. He took a look at it, so I went there and hurriedly welcomed him into the private room to see the gift. I thought to myself, this gentleman is so
Why did Yaxing come here to have fun, but he didn't know that Chang Yu was just here to relax before the battle, to relax completely.
There was no rush to play, so Chang Yu asked him to take him up and down, inside and out, and look at the flowers. Even he, who had seen big scenes in the colorful world of later generations, was dazzled by what he saw. He couldn't help but sigh that the tricks played by the ancients were terrible.
It’s no worse than later generations. You’ll find everything you need to eat, drink, and have fun. It can be said that all the things you want these days can be played here, and there are even things you can’t find anywhere else. No wonder the business is so booming.
But most people's hobbies are nothing more than eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Here there is endless wine, the most beautiful girls in the capital, and all kinds of gambling games. The most important thing is that the shop does not bully customers and the rules are very strict. You can win as much as you can.
I can take it away generously, or even escort you home, so be particular about it.
"Mr. Factory, what do you want to do?" After walking around, the eunuch in charge asked. Everyone has different hobbies, even the eunuchs. Some people like wine, some people are lustful, and some people like gambling, but he really doesn't know the leader of the eunuchs.
What a bite.
Chang Yu is neither a drunkard nor a gambler. He likes martial arts, but he is injured and can't go to the ring to fight with others. So... let's listen to a song.
In the private room, an old man in his sixties played the strings, and next to him a girl in Tsing Yi, about fifteen or sixteen years old, sang Jiangnan Community. Wu Nong softly said to Chang Yu that although he couldn't understand it, he still found it pleasant. He shook his head and squinted while holding tea.
Looking at the confused Qiao Sanxiu, she saw Song Luoyu crying. Just as she was about to ask, she suddenly thought that this girl was also from Jiangnan, so she must be homesick.
"Can the old man play the pipa?" Chang Yu glanced at Song Luoyu and said, "Be a little domineering. This moaning will make the old man cry." Song Luoyu looked a little embarrassed and lowered his head to wipe his tears. If anyone else said this, I'm afraid it would be her.
She has already become violent, but how dare she, Chang Yu.
"Go back to the young master, my daughter is better at playing the pipa," the old man said.
After a while, a murderous aura broke through the wall in the private room!
No one could have expected that when the Qing army was attacking outside the city, Chang Yu, who was the soul of the Ming army, would be hiding in the entertainment venue listening to music and drinking tea. At least Wang Jiayan did not expect that he would go to the city immediately when the Qing army suddenly attacked.
, lacking command experience, he was naturally frightened and even panicked, which made people feel ordinary.
Unexpectedly, when his subordinates were rewarded, they could not find him. He was not in the imperial city, not in the Yamen, and not on the city. This made Wang Jiayan very angry, and even more panicked. He secretly cursed this damn eunuch for why he had lost his control at the critical moment.
,just in case……
Just in case, when he was commanding the counterattack, a messenger arrived: "The factory governor ordered to save artillery shells and use bows and arrows and trebuchets to deal with it."
If the Qing army was allowed to cross the moat due to such a passive attitude, the consequences would be disastrous. Wang Jiayan was furious and wanted to go to Fengyu. The messenger said again: "The factory governor said, the Tatars are just a test, let him pass."
He couldn't even reach the river." Wang Jiayan was startled, and after looking around for a long time, he finally found some clues and suddenly became ashamed. The little eunuch knew the intention at a glance, but he... couldn't help but sigh, he was far inferior to him.
In a teahouse opposite the Shuntianfu Yamen near Andingmen, Wuzhong rubbed his temples vigorously and shouted loudly: "Waiter, bring me a pot of tea to sober up." This guy escaped from the Dongchang Yamen early in the morning and had nothing to do.
After getting excited, he drank another drink. When he suddenly heard the sound of gunfire outside the city, he woke up and ran towards the Yamen in a hurry. However, he didn't see any orders, and Chang Yu was not there, so he went with him.
Tu Yuan, Jia Waixiong and others went to the city to take a look around and found nothing interesting. They were the main force in fighting outside the city. This kind of city defense battle had the troops from the capital to take action. They were not needed unless it was absolutely necessary, so they went down.
Looking for a teahouse in the city to sober up.
"Hey, soldiers, the Tatars outside the city are attacking the city. If you don't go to defend the city, do you still want to drink tea here? I donated money so that you can enjoy it here?" As soon as the few people sat down, they heard from their neighbors.
Someone at the table was yelling, but when he turned around, he saw a bunch of dudes pointing at them and scolding them.
If other soldiers were reprimanded like this, they might be scared. But what are the identities of these people and their tempers are hotter than the last. Li Muchian was just about to start a joke with them, but before he even opened his mouth, he saw Jia
Wai Xiong took the teapot and smashed it over: "Damn you, the Tatars attacked the city and we fought bloody battles. Thousands of brothers died last night. Why? Isn't it to protect you bunch of bastards? How about drinking this?"
Isn’t tea enough? Are you human beings and I am no longer a human being?”
The pot exploded and the hot water splashed everywhere. The dandy screamed, and the guests all around tried to avoid him. Hearing what Jia Waixiong said, his face turned red with embarrassment, but the dandy shouted loudly: "The officers and soldiers are beating us.
Officers and soldiers are beating people..."
Damn, they look like a bunch of rogues. They didn’t want to take action at first. Since such a warm invitation was not in vain, a few people from Wuzhong picked up the stools and swung over. For a while, the teahouse was full of people, and the guests rushed to the door.
Of course, there will be less waves of crying for father and mother, crying and howling like wolves.
"Hey, if you have something to say, please say it. Don't do it. A gentleman can't talk. Damn it..." Li Muxian was still standing on the side pretending to break up the fight, but a teacup flew from nowhere and hit him on the head.
He immediately became furious and joined the battle group directly. (To be continued)
