The sound of going out made the courtyard instantly quiet, and more than a hundred new fans who had joined Dongchang looked over.
There was total silence at the moment.
The air was so stagnant that it seemed like water was dripping from it.
Dropped a sentence.
Shen Lie quickly rushed into the official hall, turned around quickly, and roared into the dead silence of the courtyard: "I won't force you to leave. If you want to leave, please do as you please. If you have a handful in your crotch... just follow me!"
Suddenly there was another burst of noise.
The more than 100 Xuanda disciples in the courtyard began to boil like boiling water. Some looked solemn, while others hesitated...
Someone raised their arms and shouted.
"Fight with the Tatars!"
"war!"
With a few loud shouts, the bloody courage in the hearts of Xuanda disciples was aroused, and the atmosphere became fiery in an instant.
As Shen Lie ordered his men to open the armory, more than a hundred strong men swarmed in and received fine muskets and ammunition, swords, shields, various weapons, and armor from the armory.
Dozens of horses in the stable were also led out by the old pawn, while Shen Lie stood aside and cursed several times: "I can't do it...I can't do it!"
In the hustle and bustle.
Li Susu, who was standing in the official hall, was stunned, rolled her eyes, and after thinking about it, she quickly stepped forward to grab a horse.
Watch her slender waist twist.
Get on your horse.
Shen Lie hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Susu, what are you doing?"
Li Susu turned around and waved to him, saying anxiously: "Brother Shen, please wait for me...I'll call someone from the escort agency!"
Watch her gallop away on horseback.
Shen Lie couldn't take care of her for a moment, so he picked up a long flintlock spear, then picked up a few short guns and put them in his arms. Finally, he put on a piece of cotton armor and armed himself to the teeth.
Then with the assistance of two veterans of the Zhejiang Army, Shen Lie began to form more than a hundred troops, first letting eleven of his confidants from Datong become team officers.
As his hawk-like gaze passed over the disciples of Xuanda University, specifically picking out those who liked them and looked unruly, Shen Lie temporarily designated eleven deputy captains.
He also appointed two veterans of the Zhejiang Army as deputy 100 households to lead this group of people.
This can be considered an army in a hurry.
He looked around again and saw that his more than 100 men and horses were fully equipped with firearms, armor and ammunition, but they were a little short of horses.
"Walk!"
So after half an hour of fussing, the team was organized, and Shen Lie led more than a hundred men and rushed out of Baihu Station.
Go straight to Governor Biao Camp.
If you don’t do one thing, you won’t stop doing the other thing.
Shen Lie planned to take people to the governor's Biao camp to seize horses. The nobles and military had been weak for a long time, and the most elite soldiers in the nine-border land were not in the hands of the general.
In recent years, civilian officials, relying on their financial power and military pay, have been frantically snatching local military power. As a result, today, the elite local soldiers are firmly in the hands of the governor.
The generals were forced to spend their own money to recruit private soldiers.
In this year and month, according to the standard configuration of the important towns on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, the general strength of the governor's battalion ranged from a few hundred to several thousand.
They are all cavalry!
Relying on the elite cavalry of the Governor's Biao Camp, the civilian officials firmly controlled the local military and political power and became increasingly unshakable.
Where is the governor's camp? It's next to the governor's office.
right next to.
As Shen Lie got on his horse, he put the flintlock musket on his shoulder and said murderously to the crowd: "Follow me!"
Followed by a bloody word "kill".
The morale of all the subordinates under his command was greatly boosted.
They rushed all the way to the gate of Governor Biao Camp. The guards wanted to step forward to stop him, but Shen Lie knocked him over first.
In panic.
The guards were so frightened that they rolled over and hurriedly got out of the way. Then they were pushed to the ground and disarmed by the soldiers. A large group of people rushed into the camp and snatched the horses from the stables.
For a while.
In the originally heavily guarded governor's camp, Shen Lie's slightly ferocious roar echoed: "When you are doing business in Dongchang, when you see my official badge, it's like the emperor is coming in person...anyone who blocks your way...will be killed without mercy!"
This roar.
The already tense atmosphere in the city became a bit chilly.
Separated by a wall is the governor's office.
Governor Hu, General Li and dozens of subordinate officials and generals were drinking tea and discussing countermeasures. They seemed worried, but in fact everyone's hearts were as bright as a mirror.
There are already countermeasures in place.
The Tatars came to announce a large-scale robbery of summer grain.
very common.
This was before the Longqing Dynasty. Everyone was still worried that the imperial court would be angry and behead a few people, but since the Longqing Peace Conference...
The imperial court negotiated peace with the Tatars.
Trade started.
So whenever something like this happens, the local government pretends to be deaf and dumb. The imperial court has already negotiated a peace, so why bother to fight at the local level?
Doesn’t that mean you are making yourself unhappy?
Why bother!
At this moment, Governor Hu was fiddling with the beads of his abacus in his mind, calculating this account clearly and clearly, even...
He had already begun to think about how to shirk the blame.
He was a Jinshi in the third year of Longqing. He was only thirty-one years old that year. His original results in the examination were very average, ranking 228th in the examination, and he almost fell behind.
But when he got to the palace examination, things suddenly turned around. Because of his handsome appearance and good handwriting, he was attracted by Lord Long Qing.
Let him rank sixth in the second class of the palace examination.
This was probably a stroke of luck. Since he had such a high ranking in the imperial examination, and Mr. Hu was a good talker, his official career seemed to have failed.
He climbed all the way to the position of governor of Datong.
Mr. Hu was very clear about this account. If the Tatars want to rob it, let him rob it. It is impossible to fight!
It's not a big deal if a few idiots die and some food is robbed.
Now that the first assistant is seriously ill and the emperor is young and ignorant, he only needs to write a letter and give it to his master Zhang Ge when he joined the army.
Covering up, down, and down can make big things trivial and trivial things nothing. The worst that can happen is that you will get a reprimand and a small salary. No matter how great it is, you can find another place to be an official.
If he calls people to fight, thus offending King Shunyi of the Tatars, and attracting various Tatar armies to invade... let alone losing his official position.
By then, even your life will be gone!
"cough."
Thinking clearly in his mind, Governor Hu coughed slightly and told Commander-in-Chief Li Yingen: "President Li, you should work harder these days and keep an eye on... There is absolutely no room for failure in Datong City. .”
Li Yingen hurriedly bowed and said respectfully: "Don't worry, sir, this town..."
The words are not finished yet.
Suddenly, several firecrackers exploded in the camp across the wall.
Li Yingen trembled, stood up suddenly, rushed out of the lobby, and said angrily to the soldiers: "Where are the guns!"
The soldiers were all stunned and looked at the next door...
As General Li's expression changed slightly, he strode out of the governor's office.
He just happened to see a group of soldiers and horses appear out of nowhere, riding on the tall horses they had snatched, and rumbled past him.
"presumptuous!"
Li Yingen was furious and was about to step forward to ask to stop him, but he was almost knocked to the ground by a cavalryman charging towards him with a diagonal stab.
The frightened General Li trembled again, rolled and crawled and fled back to the governor's Yamen, so the group of cavalry left him and galloped towards the north gate.
