Chapter 136: The capital shakes

If the ordinary people attacked Tianjin Guards, it would be like the demon soldiers had already penetrated into the abdomen of the pass and could harass the capital at any time. The capital became unsafe, but for these officials, it was obviously not the real terrible one.

After all, there are more than 100,000 imperial guards in the capital, tall city walls, and many ways to protect themselves. What is really terrible is the canal transportation.

The canal transport is related to the arteries of the country. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital, and the population in the suburbs of the capital is a million. In addition, to the north of the capital, there are border towns in the Ming Dynasty, and the military horses on the nine sides are also hundreds of thousands. What support does so many people rely on? Naturally, the money and food are released from Jiangnan. Once this is interrupted, it means that Jiangnan and Jiangbei will be divided into two, the court will lose control of Jiangnan, and the border town will lose food and wages, which may breed mutiny at any time, and famine may occur in the capital.

By then, the world is going to fall apart.

Everyone gathered together and asked in a verbal manner: "Where is Tianjin Wei? Can't Tianjin Wei resist the enemy?"

The man with a Tianjin accent said, "I came here under the order of the commander of the Wei. The Lord has already made a promise to the country with his own heart. He specially ordered me to report the message, saying that the Tianjin Wei was about to lose its protection, and asked the capital to make plans early. The lobster demon soldiers were so terrible that they fired cannons on their ships and held muskets, which were invincible. This time, there were two or three thousand people, thousands of brothers, and thousands of brothers who landed on the shore in an instant... in an instant..." He said, and cried loudly: "It collapsed in an instant."

Everyone was stunned, and gradually, the cold color became pale.

Thousands of Tianjin Guards are vulnerable. What does this mean?

Many Hanlins couldn't help but show their righteous indignation. At this time, the Tongzhengsi's secretary had already stepped out quickly. His face turned pale. Obviously, he knew very well that this matter was extremely serious. The guy who reported the news was really unstoppable. He had to say with a gloomy face: "Get in and talk."

……………………

The capital was shocked.

After enjoying peace for so many years, many people have long forgotten what a chaotic world is and what a foreign invasion is. Now they learn that Tianjin Guards have been stationed with demon soldiers. For a moment, panic began to spread.

Tianjin Wei is not good at helping others? They are used to hearing about Japanese pirates, Tatars and Oirats, so they are familiar with these people, but the Franji people came too suddenly. It is precisely because of this suddenness that no one knows the other's way that makes people feel even more unsure.

The entire capital suddenly became a depression, and people were inquiring about the news everywhere. Tianjin was only one step away from the capital. There was no barrier or barrier in the middle. Who knew if these demon soldiers would come to the capital next moment.

Among them, Sun Qi is the only one among the anxious and irritable people. Many people refuse to come to work today because Zhenguo Mansion is outside the city and there is not even a city wall. Many craftsmen are worried that if the demon soldiers come, will the first one suffer the disaster?

Of course, this is very likely. After all, life is still important for most people.

There are so many shops in Zhenguo Mansion, and most of the doors are closed now, and many merchants come to the door with concern to find out the exact news.

Sun Qi was most worried about Ye Chunqiu, and he was also inquiring about it, but unfortunately, there was no one coming from Tianjin Wei anymore.

So he entered the city and went to the Ye family. Perhaps there was a letter from Ye Chunqiu who had just a few words from Ye Chunqiu.

In the Ye family, everyone in the house had a strange look on their faces. Old Lady Ye was already crazy. As soon as she saw Sun Qi, she asked in a slight manner: "Didn't you hear that Chunqiu went to Tianjin Wei? Ah... What's wrong? Oh, what should I do?"

Sun Qi originally wanted to ask for news, but now he had to comfort Mr. Ye and said with a wry smile: "Good Master, be relieved. Although Chunqiu is going to send the envoy to Franji, the new army in Zhenguo has also gone. I believe... With the new army in Zhenguo, it should..."

"Nonsense." Old Lady Ye interrupted Sun Qi's words to continue, and said in tears: "Then... those lobster demon soldiers are not ordinary soldiers. Everyone outside says that they are monsters in the deep sea, unstoppable, the new army in Zhenguo... Zhenguo has great skills, and it is afraid it will be difficult to defeat the enemy. Don't comfort me... Alas... I'm worried, if it's really a white-haired man who sends black-haired man..."

Speaking of this, Old Lady Ye almost robbed the land with her head, but was supported by Sun Qi. Sun Qi was also feeling pounding. Yes, it was said that demon soldiers were monsters, invincible, each with red hair and blue eyes, each with more than ten feet high. They roared, making a muffled sound like thunder and lightning. Their arms were powerful, and the rumors outside might not be trustworthy, but the demon soldiers landed, but defeated Tianjin Wei in just one cup of tea. This is true. Tianjin Wei is quite good among the guards. After all, they were guarding the capital and an elite soldier during the reign of Emperor Wen. The court had always favored Tianjin Wei, but now they are not as good as others...

The more he thought about it, the more anxious Sun Qi became, and he still wanted to comfort the worried old lady Ye: "Don't be anxious first, Ye Chunqiu is both civil and military, and even if he encounters danger, he will have a way to escape." He thought about it, but said worriedly: "Does Miss Wang know about this?"

Old Lady Ye said quietly: "I am still hiding it, but I must be unable to hide it. I just asked someone to ban my mouth, but..."

Sun Qi sighed. Miss Wang is still pregnant. If she learned about this, she would have made any mistakes, but she didn't know what to do.

"I think something is going to happen." Sun Qi lowered his voice and continued, "If you make a fuss, you will lead to a national transformation. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the guards in the capital, they are all avoiding the demon soldiers like snakes and scorpions. Many people are also afraid. Do you think the court is really sure to attack the next attack? Alas, how could it be like this? In the past, it was still good. Whether it was the Southern Japanese or the Northern Barbarians, it was also a headache, but the officials in the court were not ordinary people after all, and there was always a solution to it. I saw that even the court was panicked this time."

Old Mrs. Ye gritted her teeth and said after a while: "I can't control other things, nor can I control them. Now I am only worried about spring and autumn. It's better for him to live. If something goes wrong with him..."

When the thought of Ye Chunqiu being in danger or even dying, Old Lady Ye’s heart became heavy, covered her heart sadly, and sat in the hall, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.
