He said this, but in fact, the general also felt a little guilty.
After all, his garrison was really too few.
Because there is no threat from the Mongolian army at the South City Gate for the time being, all the garrison forces here have been allocated to the other city gates. There are only less than 2,000 defenders at the South City Gate.
And the number of dignitaries below and the common people who were preparing to flee together were too numerous to count. If a conflict really broke out, the consequences would be disastrous.
How many people are there in the entire Jinghua?
Millions!
How can they resist this!
"Get out of the way!"
"Let's go!"
"We don't want to die here!"
That's how human nature is.
They can enjoy various benefits of this capital on weekdays.
However, as long as Jinghua is in trouble, they cannot live or die with Jinghua.
What's more...
Is it worth it?
A noble person feels it is not worth it.
Ordinary people will feel that it is not worth it.
In this world, they just want to live.
This shouldn’t be a luxury…
The people moved forward in unison, while the soldiers kept retreating.
The pressure continued to increase, and finally, the city defender could no longer stand it.
"Open the city gate and let them out."
"General..."
"Let them out. If they stay here, they will only cause us trouble."
Even though the soldiers were unhappy, there was nothing they could do about it. They were Long Yan's soldiers and they couldn't attack their compatriots.
The city gate slowly opened, and the group of dignitaries rushed out with their servants.
The city gate opened wide, and everyone rushed out regardless of the hope of survival.
The originally spacious city gate suddenly became extremely crowded.
A stampede ensued, and the city gate was filled with cries and howls. There was obviously no fighting here, but the situation here was even more cruel than where there was fighting.
Now, most of Long Yan's people have laid down, but one person has not.
He is Yu Qian.
Yu Qian was a Jinshi in the imperial examination in Long Yan's first year. He is now a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs and a sixth-grade official.
In Beijing, a sixth-rank official is just a sesame-sized and mung-bean-sized official, but this Yu Qian is very famous.
Because he was a representative figure who resisted the constitutional monarchy at that time!
At that time, he also wrote an article called "The Stealer of the Country."
The protagonist of this article The Thief of Country is the current chief minister, Liu Zheng.
Although Liu Zheng is not scolded once in the whole article, the whole article very cleverly compares Liu Zheng to Wang Mang in the Western Han Dynasty and Cao Cao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He uses the past to satirize the present, saying that Liu Zheng is a thief who seizes the imperial power in the name of establishing a constitution.
Reality!
Although Liu Zheng later changed the views of some people who opposed the constitution through practical actions, he was still unable to sway Yu Qian.
At first, Liu Zheng thought he was Xie Ming's man, but later through investigation, he found that Yu Qian had nothing to do with Xie Ming.
Yu Qian was the first disciple of the great Confucian scholar in eastern Zhejiang. At that time, Liu Zheng believed that he was a Confucian scholar who was rotten to the core.
and......
Yu Qian...
Naturally, this name is still very popular.
But later, when Liu Zheng investigated the household department, he found that
Could it be him?
Found out after careful investigation.
The account books and classics that Yu Qian is responsible for are very clear, and his colleagues also evaluate him as a "capable minister".
Liu Zheng also realized that although this Yu Qian was pedantic, he was still talented, so he kept him in the Ministry of Finance, hoping that he would slowly shine.
Although he still opposes Liu Zheng, he is still unambiguous when it comes to work. There are many people who oppose Liu Zheng, but this is the only one who is still valued by Liu Zheng.
